After Yechao successfully repelled the pirates and rectified the officialdom, the country ushered in a relatively peaceful period of development.
However, beneath the calm surface, new problems and challenges are quietly brewing.
With the commercial prosperity of the Night Dynasty, the amount of currency in circulation increased dramatically, leading to the potential for inflation.
With soaring prices and rising living costs, social stability is under threat.
Chu Yunlan was deeply worried and summoned Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng again to discuss countermeasures.
After conducting in-depth research, Shen Yifeng proposed a series of measures to regulate currency and stabilize prices.
He suggested controlling the money supply, strengthening market regulation, and cracking down on hoarding and price gouging.
At the same time, agricultural production was encouraged and the supply of goods was increased in order to stabilize prices.
Xiao Yichen, from a military perspective, believed that border trade should be strictly controlled to prevent external forces from disrupting the financial order of the Night Dynasty through economic means.
He advocated for the formation of a dedicated economic escort team to ensure the safety and fairness of trade routes.
Taking into account the two people's suggestions, Chu Yunlan took decisive action. She issued a series of strict economic laws and severely punished illegal businessmen.
At the same time, officials were dispatched to various regions to supervise the implementation of policies and ensure price stability and the normal order of currency circulation.
During the implementation process, we encountered a lot of resistance.
Some big businessmen, unwilling to lose their vested interests, secretly colluded to try to resist the policy.
However, thanks to Chu Yunlan's resolute crackdown and the support of the people, these conspiracies ultimately failed.
After a period of effort, inflation was effectively controlled, prices gradually stabilized, and people's lives returned to normal.
However, one problem after another arose.
In the remote areas of Yechao, some ethnic minority tribes became dissatisfied with the rule of the central government and launched rebellions.
They attacked government offices and looted property, causing great damage to local security and stability.
Xiao Yichen volunteered to lead the army to quell the rebellion.
He knew that simple military suppression could not solve the fundamental problem, and that a strategy of both kindness and severity must be adopted.
On the battlefield, he commanded with composure and swiftly defeated the main force of the rebels.
At the same time, he sent envoys to negotiate with the tribal leaders, promising them certain autonomy and preferential policies as long as they laid down their weapons and submitted to the court.
Thanks to Xiao Yichen's efforts, most of the tribal leaders realized the mistake of their rebellion and expressed their willingness to submit.
Peace was restored to the borders of the Night Dynasty, and relations between ethnic groups were eased to some extent.
At the same time, Shen Yifeng actively promoted infrastructure construction in the country.
He organized the construction of extensive roads and bridges, improving transportation and promoting trade and exchange between regions.
He also vigorously developed water conservancy projects, which solved the problem of farmland irrigation and increased agricultural output.
During this process, Shen Yifeng encountered technical and financial difficulties.
But with unwavering faith and flexible strategies, he successfully overcame the difficulties.
He encouraged private capital to participate in infrastructure construction and introduced advanced foreign technologies and management experience.
After years of hard work, Yechao's infrastructure has been completely transformed, its economy has developed more rapidly, and the living standards of its people have been significantly improved.
On a fine, sunny day, the Night Dynasty held a grand celebration to commemorate the nation's great achievements in all aspects.
Standing atop the high city tower, Chu Yunlan gazed at the joyful crowd, his heart filled with pride and emotion.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng stayed by her side, and the three of them smiled at each other.
They knew that the prosperity of the Night Dynasty was hard-won and that continued efforts and struggles were needed for the future.
Following the celebration, Yechao ushered in new development opportunities.
A foreign envoy brought with him an advanced technology that was said to greatly improve production efficiency.
Chu Yunlan keenly realized that this was another opportunity for the development of Yechao, and she decided to vigorously introduce and promote this technology.
However, the promotion of new technologies is not always smooth sailing.
Some traditional artisans are worried about losing their jobs and are resistant to new technologies.
Some local officials have also expressed doubts about the safety and feasibility of the new technology, resulting in slow progress in its rollout.
Chu Yunlan summoned Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng again to discuss countermeasures.
Xiao Yichen suggested taking mandatory measures to require all regions to promote the new technology.
Shen Yifeng, however, believed that the craftsmen should be trained first to understand the advantages of new technologies, and given certain subsidies and guarantees to eliminate their concerns.
Ultimately, Chu Yunlan adopted Shen Yifeng's suggestion.
She ordered the establishment of training centers throughout the country, inviting foreign experts and skilled craftsmen from across the country to teach the artisans.
At the same time, enterprises and individuals who actively adopt new technologies will be rewarded.
Driven by a series of measures, new technologies have gradually been widely adopted.
The manufacturing industry in Yechao has experienced a qualitative leap, with a significant increase in product quality and output, and a greatly enhanced competitiveness in the international market.
As the influence of the Night Dynasty continued to expand, neighboring countries sent envoys to pay tribute and expressed their hope to establish closer cooperative relations with the Night Dynasty.
Chu Yunlan decided to send a delegation to reciprocate the visit and strengthen friendly exchanges with various countries.
During the mission's visit, the cultural, artistic, and technological achievements of the Yechao were fully showcased, winning praise and respect from various countries.
At the same time, Yechao also learned a lot of useful experience and knowledge from other countries, which further promoted its own development.
However, just as the Night Dynasty was engaging in friendly exchanges with other countries, some hostile forces began to secretly sow discord and attempt to undermine the Night Dynasty's relations with other countries.
They spread rumors and created trouble, causing considerable problems for the Ye Dynasty's diplomatic work.
Xiao Yichen discovered these conspiracies in time through the intelligence network and took swift action.
On the one hand, he strengthened the guidance of domestic public opinion and exposed the conspiracies of hostile forces; on the other hand, he strengthened communication and mutual trust with other countries to eliminate misunderstandings and doubts.
Thanks to Xiao Yichen's efforts, the hostile forces' conspiracy failed, and the friendly relations between the Night Dynasty and other countries continued to be consolidated and developed.
After many years of trials and tribulations, thanks to the joint efforts of Chu Yunlan, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Yifeng, Yechao has become a powerful, prosperous, and harmonious nation.
But they know that the road ahead is long, and they will continue to work together for the eternal glory of Night Dynasty.
