…
Meanwhile, in the north, in the state of Yan.
Inside the main hall of the imperial palace.
Empress Jiang Hongying sat upright on the dragon throne, dressed in a black dragon robe, her brows and eyes carrying a hint of coldness honed by the battlefield.
She had just finished reading a secret report from the Liang Kingdom and slammed it heavily onto the dragon desk.
The ministers below trembled in fear, thinking that the empress was about to fly into a rage again.
To everyone's surprise, a strange light flashed in Jiang Hongying's eyes: "Well done, Liang Guo! They've managed to get ahead again!"
She stood up and paced around the hall, her voice firm and resounding: "Issue my decree! From this moment forward, my Great Yan shall follow the example of the Liang Kingdom! Establish girls' schools, appoint female officials, and enact the 'Infant Protection Law'! Everything that the Liang Kingdom has, my Great Yan shall have without exception!"
An elderly minister with white hair stepped forward tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you must not! This action is contrary to ancestral rules and may shake the foundation of the nation!"
Jiang Hongying gave him a cold glance, her eyes like knives.
"Ancestral rules?" She sneered. "Can ancestral rules stop a raging flood, or can they invite the protection of the Heavenly Mountain? The Liang Kingdom now has factories everywhere, vast fertile fields, and people living in peace and prosperity. What is that all we rely on? It's the Mountain Goddess!"
"I don't care about any ancestral rules or anything like that. I only know that the goddess who saved my life will do whatever she likes! She protects the Liang Kingdom, and I will make her see the sincerity of my Great Yan!"
Her words silenced the entire court of officials.
They all understood that the empress's reverence for the gods had reached its zenith.
On that very day, the decree from the Yan state spread throughout the entire country.
The people of Yan reacted more directly than those of Liang.
They experienced floods, and later various other disasters.
Unlike the Liang Kingdom, which had the protection of the Mountain Goddess from the beginning, they had truly struggled for a long time.
Nowadays, many people are already very content to receive the blessings of the mountain god and live a better life.
"What? The Empress wants us to learn from the people of Liang, forbidding the throwing of baby girls and requiring them to go to school?"
"Learn! We must learn! The people of Liang are protected by the Mountain Goddess, so we can't go wrong by learning from them!"
“That’s right, we also need to show the Mountain Goddess that we Yan people are more obedient than the Liang people!”
In no time, this national policy spread throughout the Central Plains. All the countries knew that the Mountain Goddess was involved, and they were all enthusiastic and determined to promulgate it.
Moreover, they don't need to bother maintaining it; the people will naturally comply!
Moreover, some ordinary people are even more enthusiastic than them!
Seeing this scene, many of the time travelers who had traveled through time expressed their feelings with emotion.
This world is getting better and better!
