Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng knew that if they wanted the Night Dynasty to continue to prosper, they had to address the underlying problems at their root.
Therefore, they decided to further deepen the reforms, starting from the institutional level, to strengthen central authority, while also focusing on people's livelihood and improving their quality of life.
Chu Yunlan set about reforming the official system and established a more comprehensive system for selecting and evaluating officials.
She emphasized both moral integrity and competence, and promoted officials based solely on merit, thus breaking the monopoly of powerful families on officialdom.
The imperial examination system selected talent, allowing more talented and ambitious young people to enter officialdom and serve the country.
At the same time, we will strengthen the assessment and supervision of officials, severely punish those who are corrupt, incompetent, or derelict in their duties, and ensure the integrity and incorruptibility of the officialdom.
Xiao Yichen, on the other hand, focused on reforming the military system.
He established a professional army, improved soldiers' treatment and training levels, and enhanced the army's combat effectiveness.
At the same time, the construction of the military command system was strengthened, and an efficient military decision-making mechanism was established to ensure that correct decisions could be made quickly in war.
In addition, he also focused on the research and development of military technology, and introduced and improved advanced weapons and equipment, so that the Night Dynasty's army was ahead of other countries in terms of equipment.
Shen Yifeng was dedicated to reforming the economic system.
He implemented a series of policies to encourage agricultural production and commercial development, reduce the tax burden on farmers, and increase their enthusiasm for production.
At the same time, we will strengthen the management and guidance of commerce, regulate market order, and promote commercial prosperity.
He also actively promoted the development of foreign trade, established good trade relations with neighboring countries, and enabled Yechao's goods to be sold overseas, bringing great wealth to the country.
During the reform process, they also encountered resistance from various parties.
Some powerful and influential families were unwilling to relinquish their privileges and interests, and resisted and sabotaged the reforms.
Some conservative officials do not understand or support the new system and policies, and even outwardly comply while inwardly opposing them.
Some unscrupulous businessmen also took advantage of the situation to disrupt market order.
Faced with these obstacles, Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng did not back down.
On the one hand, they strengthened publicity and education, explaining the necessity and importance of reform to the people and officials, and striving for their understanding and support.
On the other hand, we must take strong measures to crack down on those forces that resist and undermine reforms, and safeguard the smooth progress of reforms.
After years of effort, the reforms of the Night Dynasty have achieved remarkable results.
The officialdom is full of talented people, and the officials are honest and dedicated to the country's development.
With a strong military, peaceful borders, and guaranteed national security, the country is well protected.
The economy is prosperous, people live affluent lives, and social order is stable.
However, as the Night Dynasty grew stronger, it also aroused the jealousy and vigilance of other countries.
Some neighboring countries began to unite, forming an encirclement of the Night Dynasty in an attempt to contain its development.
Faced with external pressure, Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng decided to adopt a tough diplomatic policy.
On the one hand, they strengthen alliances with friendly countries to jointly combat hostile forces.
On the other hand, it actively demonstrates the strength and determination of the Night Dynasty, deterring other countries from easily provoking it.
Militarily, Xiao Yichen led his troops in numerous military exercises and border patrols, demonstrating the formidable combat capabilities of the Night Dynasty army.
At the same time, he strengthened the construction of border defenses and improved the border's defensive capabilities.
In diplomacy, Chu Yunlan dispatched envoys to various countries to explain the Night Dynasty's philosophy of peaceful development and to win their understanding and support.
At the same time, she also used the contradictions and conflicts of interest between countries to divide and disintegrate the alliance of hostile forces.
Economically, Shen Yifeng weakened the economic power of hostile countries by controlling foreign trade and imposing economic sanctions on them.
At the same time, he strengthened economic cooperation with friendly countries to promote common development.
Through a series of efforts, Yechao successfully defused external pressure and maintained national security and stability.
During this process, the international status of the Night Dynasty was significantly enhanced, making it one of the powerful nations on the continent.
Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng's efforts and contributions have earned them the heartfelt support and love of the people of the Night Dynasty.
Their deeds were passed down by later generations, and they became legendary figures in the history of the Night Dynasty.
Under their leadership, the Night Dynasty continued to prosper and create one glorious achievement after another.
After Ye Chao successfully resolved the external pressure, Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng did not stop. They knew that the development of the country was like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.
Therefore, they turned their attention to the fields of culture and technology, hoping to achieve a qualitative leap in both the spiritual and material aspects of the Night Dynasty by promoting cultural prosperity and technological innovation.
Chu Yunlan strongly supported the creative work of literati and established special cultural awards to encourage the development of various literary and artistic forms.
In a short time, poetry, calligraphy, painting, opera, and music flourished in Yechao, giving rise to numerous outstanding cultural works and artists.
In order to protect and pass on the traditional culture of the Ye Dynasty, she also ordered the compilation of a large-scale cultural classic, collecting and organizing classic works and folk legends from all dynasties.
Xiao Yichen, on the other hand, focused on the importance of science and technology for national development.
He established an academy of sciences in the capital, recruited a group of talented craftsmen and scholars, and invested a large amount of money in scientific research projects.
With his support, the Night Dynasty achieved a series of important technological breakthroughs in agriculture, industry, and the military.
