Chapter 381 The Fake Daughter Whose Body Was Taken Over by the Heroine 42
Su Li searched the space and found the seeds he had collected before in a corner.
Su Li took a look and saw corn, sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, and potatoes, all of which were high-yield seeds.
She went on a long trip and when she came back she found an opportunity to take out the seeds and gave them to her subordinates to start planting them in large quantities.
The following year, it was promoted for cultivation throughout the country, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.
Just like that, ten years passed in a flash.
The people of Longyuan Country now live and work in peace and contentment. Every household has surplus food and can even eat some meat every now and then. They are extremely happy.
They were full of gratitude and admiration for the Queen and the Regent who provided them with enough food, and they did their utmost to support their policies.
With the support of the people, Su Li and her team's reform journey became increasingly smoother.
Over the past ten years, the number of female officials in the court has accounted for one-third of the number of men.
Although there are only a few ministers like Li Yanran in high positions, and most of the others are men, Su Li believes that in the near future, women will definitely occupy half of the sky in the court.
Nowadays, the female officials in the court include not only daughters of aristocratic families, but also dozens of people from humble backgrounds.
What does this mean? It means that the academy has begun to provide talents for the court, and more talents will emerge in the future.
It only took six years from the establishment of the school to the entry of women from poor families into the imperial court as officials. This further proves that women are no worse than men.
After ten years of hard study, they can do it too, or even do better and be more outstanding!
Ever since the first woman from a poor family passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court, it was as if a switch was turned on, and more and more women from poor families passed the imperial examination and became officials in the court.
As a result, many people realize that they have studied for more than ten years, but are still just a white student, or just a boy, and the parents of the scholars no longer treat them like masters!
If you can't do it, then let your sister (niece) go. Maybe she can even get into high school before you!
Su Qingqing, Li Yanran and others gradually lost themselves under Su Li's constant deception and praise.
They work hard and focus on their careers, and are full of energy every day as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
So much so that some of them are in their twenties and have no plans to get married.
This made their parents very anxious.
It's a great honor to have a successful daughter, but it's really shameful that she is still not married at such an old age!
As a result, these people were miserable. After finishing their work every day, they had to face their parents' pressure to get married when they returned home.
If the court had not granted them mansions where they could retreat to for some peace and quiet when pressed hard, they would probably have exploded on the spot.
The one who suffered the most was Su Qingqing. She was the queen of a country, but ten years had passed and her harem was still empty. This not only made Mu Wan, Zhou and others anxious, but also made a lot of ministers anxious.
This day, early morning court.
After Su Qingqing's personal female official finished singing: "If you have a petition, please proceed with your report; if you don't, please leave the court," Prime Minister Li, who was already an old man, stood up with his head lowered and his eyes pleasing to the eye.
Su Li was sitting below Su Qingqing. He saw this scene without even raising his eyelids.
No need to guess, you can tell what this old man wants to play just by thinking.
Sure enough, soon the voice of Prime Minister Li pleading with Su Qingqing to select a concubine to enrich the harem was heard in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the ruler cannot be without a queen for a day. I implore Your Majesty to marry a prince as soon as possible and give birth to a prince!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chorus of "I second this."
Su Qingqing sat on the dragon throne, glanced at Su Li imperceptibly, and then said expressionlessly: "I am so busy, how can I have time to choose a concubine? Let's discuss this matter later!"
Prime Minister Li had long known that this was the Empress's excuse, and he immediately said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I know you are very busy, so as long as you agree to choose a concubine, the rest of the old ministers will take care of it for you. You only need to show up and choose the one you like!"
Su Qingqing had a blank expression on her face, but she really wanted to ask in her heart: If I am too busy to have the wedding night, can you do it for me?
Prime Minister Li didn't care whether Su Qingqing responded or not. He just started talking and gave her a lot of advice.
Every time he said something, a group of ministers followed him and echoed: "I second the motion!"
That is to say, he was the empress's teacher, and his daughter Li Yanran got along well with Su Li and Su Qingqing. Otherwise, Su Qingqing really wanted to smash the inkstone on his head.
Since you are so good at speaking, why don’t you go and tell stories?
"Your Majesty, please prioritize the overall situation and quickly select a concubine and give birth to an heir!"
Prime Minister Li knelt down as he spoke, and a group of people knelt down behind him. A group of young officials looked at each other, and finally knelt down helplessly as well!
A minister said with a look of deep sorrow: "Your Majesty, if you don't choose a concubine, what will become of the reputation of our Longyuan Kingdom?"
Another minister with a white beard frowned: "Yes, Your Majesty, our Longyuan Kingdom cannot be without an heir!"
Su Qingqing had a cold face and her teeth were chattering. No matter how these ministers tried to persuade her, she remained unmoved!
She is only twenty-seven this year, why does she need an heir?
Besides, what does she want from a man? Let him secretly covet her kingdom?
Now that Longyuan Kingdom is thriving, the status of women has been improved.
If a group of men appeared in the harem and had children, there was no guarantee that they would not have other ideas. She did not have the ability like her elder sister to control everyone!
She doesn't want to disrupt the current balance because of a man!
An early morning court session ended with the emperor being urged to get married.
After the morning court session, Su Li strolled to the imperial study.
As soon as she entered the imperial study, Su Qingqing stood up from the dragon throne, walked a few steps to Su Li, hugged Su Li's arm and shook it.
Then, with a pout, she looked at Su Li with grievance and said, "Big sister, why did you just watch them bully me in the hall and not help me?"
Seeing that she still had this childish temper, Su Li raised his hand and pinched her incredibly beautiful face.
"Didn't you single-handedly win over a group of scholars and make a bunch of old men jump up and down in anger? Why do you need my help?!"
Su Qingqing felt even more aggrieved: "Isn't that because you won't help me? Humph, a bunch of bad old men are so mean, forcing me to choose a concubine every day."
"Don't think I don't know what they're planning. They just want me to give birth to a son as soon as possible so they can overturn all our previous efforts."
"Humph, I won't do what they want. I will never get married in this life."
Su Qingqing became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her teeth chattering.
Su Li poked her forehead helplessly and said unhappily, "Look at you. You are the ruler of a country after all, but you are so angry that your teeth are grinding over such a small matter. Have you become a nobody?"
Su Qingqing pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, I'm just angry! Big sister always sits there and watches the show, and doesn't know how to help me!"
Su Li felt a little guilty!
She is afraid too!
I don’t know if these old men are too old or have reached menopause, but they are really urging people to get married more and more!
They not only urged their own daughter, but also urged the empress Su Qingqing, and now they are bold enough to urge her too.
Moreover, they shamelessly believed that it was because she refused to get married that the atmosphere became distorted, causing the empress and their daughter (granddaughter) to be unwilling to get married!
She was wronged too, okay?
