Sherry forgot which book she had read that said a certain line.
The more capable a person is, the more they know how to respect others.
Excellent, that's how a good boy should be!
Some veteran officials still rely on their seniority and act arrogantly, but that's alright.
Many of those who are pushing forward the new policies are young people!
When someone stirs up trouble, the inspectors directly present those shady things that can't be shown to others.
Jingrong tidied them up one by one!
They also learned that Han Chinese women had the custom of foot binding.
It is also strictly prohibited.
Those who disobey will be barred from taking the imperial examinations; if they still do not comply, the head of the family will be punished by having their feet bound.
Jingrong also intended to control public opinion to prevent certain forces under the banner of "overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming" from causing trouble.
But more importantly, the new laws improved the status of women.
Jingrong and Shirley were highly respected by women.
Sydney readily accepted the good advice and started various factories to create job opportunities for women.
Jingrong arranged for people to work on military industry while simultaneously adjusting various mainstream books.
It draws on the strengths of many schools of thought and even incorporates Western knowledge.
The Qing Dynasty was changing rapidly.
The country's territory has been expanding, various industries, manufacturing industries, and military industries have been established, creating more jobs. Agriculture has also been developing vigorously, and women have started to leave their homes.
With the liberalization of hairstyles and clothing, the surrounding small countries were directly destroyed and incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
Jingrong: My country does not need vassal states.
And all these changes have occurred in just ten years!
During this period, the Empress Dowager passed away.
The young emperor had just gotten married; the empress was a Han Chinese and a female scholar who had achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations.
Jingrong chose his own empress, and Shirley had no objections, nor was she in a hurry to arrange for concubines.
Both the emperor and empress were quite satisfied.
The previous Great Purge focused on internal development, specifically strengthening weapons research and development.
Now that the young emperor has an empress, he begins to personally lead military campaigns.
Princess Jinghua and the Empress oversaw the country.
Sherry couldn't stand it any longer and ran off with them...
The young emperor didn't say it explicitly, but he still relied heavily on Ao Bai, and then Sherry went off to have fun on her own!
They said they were going out for fun, but they actually went to a small island to seriously cultivate their skills.
Every now and then I receive messages from all over the world.
Where has the emperor conquered? Which island has he seized? What are his plans for the new territory? How many talents have been selected for the new year's scientific expeditions? What new weapons have the military factories developed? Which small country has submitted to the emperor? Compulsory education has begun...
Until one day, Ao Bai came running back, grumbling and whining.
It is said that the emperor treated him like an old ox.
Shirley sent a message to the emperor, and Jingrong, thinking of his elderly father who had fought alongside him in numerous battles, decided not to disturb him.
Besides, he has brothers!
Moreover, the improvement of women's and children's rights leads to increased productivity.
The Qing Dynasty had no shortage of people, and even more so, no shortage of talented people!
So he took a break midway, returned to the capital to spend time with the Empress and his son, and also took five more concubines.
After another year of rest and recuperation, we set off again!
This process is repeated!
As a result, the territory of the Qing Dynasty gradually expanded, and because of the invention of cement, he even had the idea of building the entire Great Wall!
As for people, aren't those black and white-skinned slaves just right?
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts; keeping them around will only bring trouble!
Especially the hook-nosed Jews!
Jingrong occasionally shares the same beliefs as Shirley, and Shirley fully supports him.
Furthermore, because of the great integration of ethnic groups, a good set of regulations must be introduced!
So the emperor and empress got busy again!
And because of the need to manage this land, communication equipment was developed ahead of schedule.
This includes the advent of electricity and automobiles.
The Qing Dynasty truly became a colossal behemoth that made those around it tremble in fear!
Perhaps last year there were still small countries bowing down to the emperor, but this year they have become part of the territory.
Of course, after learning about it, many foreigners were eager to join in.
After all, a powerful country, cutting-edge infrastructure, abundant food, and the radiant faces of its people all attract outsiders.
Moreover, they understand better than anyone that if they surrender, they can still save face.
If they get knocked down, they'll have to miserably go and repair the city walls...
Sydney raised some people to be sent to the palace to protect the royal heirs.
The Empress was also keen to handle state affairs with Jinghua.
When Shirley learned that the Empress and the other concubines were pregnant, there was no estrangement between the Emperor and Empress. After all, one was keen on expanding the territory, while the other was keen on benefiting the people.
Their gaze was far beyond that corner of the sky within the harem!
Of course, there were also those who were restless, but they were dealt with by the emperor before they could even make a move.
I've been back to Sydney a few times over the decades!
This includes the death of Ao Bai.
The emperor respectfully addressed him as "Uncle," though they never explicitly stated it, but Jingrong's respect for him was no less than that.
Ao Bai left with a smile!
After that, the Emperor and Empress often brought Jinghua's family to keep her company.
One day, feeling that her health was nearing its end, Shirley chatted with the children and then went into the underground palace that her eldest son had built for her!
Yes, majestic and solemn, yet like a fairyland!
Sherry is very satisfied!
System: Task completion rate SSS level, 3000 points. Accumulated points. Merit level 6.
Sherry's soul left her body this time.
It did not return to the system space.
Sherry was a little confused and wandered around the entire underground palace.
Then, to everyone's surprise, many of the burial objects were newly unearthed old items.
Sherry almost thought the little emperor had dug up her secret stash from her past life.
Surprisingly, she actually received it! Now she's starting to regret leaving so hastily.
However, without the help of a body, the soul cannot take much with it!
