After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51

So, in that spring season, because of Li Qingge's extraordinary ability and outstanding political achievements, she shone like a bright star in the court, and was eventually promoted to the head of the six ministries of the court, that is, the powerful Minister of Personnel. Her appointment was like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen river, bringing vitality to the entire court.

That day, the sun shone through the clouds, dappling on the magnificent palace, adding a bit of warmth to this solemn occasion. Jiang Jinsong, an official who was always known for his rigor, felt the unusual atmosphere as soon as he entered the palace. He was dressed in a neat official uniform, walked steadily, and his eyes revealed awe and admiration for Li Qingge.

Li Qingge sat behind a tall desk, wearing a luxurious court dress that set off her cold and wise face, and her eyebrows revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated. She was not in a hurry to assign tasks to Jiang Jinsong, but asked him to report his recent work situation in an almost gentle tone. This move made Jiang Jinsong feel warm in his heart, and he felt unprecedented respect and trust.

"Your Majesty," Jiang Jinsong bowed respectfully, his voice steady and powerful, "We have followed your will to reward the officials of various prefectures and counties for their meritorious service and punish those who have committed mistakes. We have promoted all the small officials who have worked silently at the grassroots level and have a spirit of hard work, so that they can better serve the people."

After hearing this, Li Qingge's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. Although the smile was faint, it was as warm as the spring breeze, which made people feel warm. She nodded gently, with a gleam of approval in her eyes: "Very good, this is the right way. Judging heroes by their political achievements can stimulate the enthusiasm of officials and maintain the vitality of the court system."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, looking through the window lattice at the vast expanse of land in the distance, her heart filled with infinite longing for the future. After a moment, she retracted her gaze and continued to say to Jiang Jinsong: "When distributing the land, I have reserved a portion for the development of education. The nine-year compulsory education system that I advocated before is now a good time to implement it."

Jiang Jinsong heard this, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that Li Qingge attached great importance to education, far beyond ordinary people. So, he immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have made detailed plans. As long as Your Majesty approves and allocates funds, we can start construction immediately and let the light of education illuminate every corner."

Li Qingge nodded again, his voice firm and powerful: "Okay, then do it as soon as possible! I will allocate all the required funds to you, and we must not let education be hindered by lack of funds."

With the reform of the land system and the huge amount of silver obtained from the confiscation of property (more than 700 million taels, almost equivalent to the income of the Qing Dynasty's treasury for 15 years), Li Qingge invested a lot of effort in people's livelihood and infrastructure construction. Although these expenses were huge, she knew in her heart that the money was worth spending because it would lay a solid foundation for the country's future.

With the full implementation of nine-year compulsory education, a system notification sound suddenly rang in Li Qingge's ears. The sound was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully building a road traffic network. Specially granted a full range of transportation vehicle manufacturing and manufacturing equipment!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for promoting nine-year compulsory education, and specially grant the Galva Oil Field!"

Li Qingge was excited when she heard this. Although she had been prepared for this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard about these two rewards. All kinds of transportation tools, including family cars, electric cars, motorcycles, as well as public buses, subways, light rails, and even various heavy machinery used for construction, production and transportation, have reached the world's top level in technology. Manufacturing equipment and talents are also ready, and it will only take some time before they can be put into use.

However, these tools all need oil or electricity to drive. The problem of electricity is relatively easy to solve, because although the coal mines in the south are not as abundant as those in the north, they are enough for thermal power generation. Moreover, after Chen Hongmou's water conservancy project is completed, the supply of hydropower can be increased. But oil and gas resources are relatively scarce in the south, so the Galva oil field awarded by the system this time is undoubtedly a timely help.

After careful research, Li Qingge discovered that this oil field was one of the largest onshore oil fields in the world, with a reserve of tens of billions of cubic meters, accounting for 30% of the oil resources in the Persian Gulf! Such an oil field is simply a cash cow for rich countries! Moreover, the oil in the Galwa oil field is of very good quality, and it is light oil, which is easy to transport. With this oil field, the industry in the south and even the national oil supply can be self-sufficient!

"Hahaha, the Galva Oilfield arrived just in time!" Li Qingge laughed happily. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, full of infinite expectations for the future.

However, she also noticed that the name "Galwa" was a bit difficult to pronounce and remember, and the common people might not quite understand its meaning. So she decided to change the name of the oil field to "Dayan Oil Field"! This name is simple and clear, and it allows the common people to know that it is their own country's.

With all these industrial products and huge oil resources, Li Qingge felt that his country was like a winged country, about to soar. The roar of industrial machines resounded through the sky, and various industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, and textiles flourished. Industrial and infrastructure construction created a large number of jobs, and people made money in factories and then spent the money.

The increase in consumption has led to an increase in demand. In order to meet market demand, factories have continued to expand their production scale and recruit more workers. As a result, more and more money has been generated, and consumption has become more and more vigorous, forming a virtuous cycle of economic system. The whole country seems to have been injected with a strong vitality, showing unprecedented vitality and vigor.

However, just as Li Qingge was immersed in this joy and reviewing the piles of memorials, the system's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts: "Ding! System task triggered! It is noticed that domestic commodity consumption is close to saturation. Please open coastal trading ports, develop foreign trade, and connect with the world economy! After completing the task, you will be rewarded with a world-class gas field!"

Li Qingge was stunned when she heard about this task. In the past, there were many options for tasks. Why is there only one option this time? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought. But after thinking about it, she understood the reason. The reason why there were so many tasks in the past was that there were too many drawbacks in feudal society, which needed to be solved one by one. Now, the landlords and gentry have been eliminated, gender equality has been achieved, and the evil forces have been almost eliminated, so naturally there are fewer tasks.

Thinking of this, Li Qingge couldn't help but feel happy. After traveling to this era, she finally achieved some success! However, she was also a little confused. With such a large population and such a large market in the south, how come the goods are saturated?
Just as she was deep in thought, the Minister of Rites Pan Xiaoming came in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report. Please make your decision!"

Li Qingge raised his eyebrows, looked at Pan Xiaoming sharply, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about the textile factory." Pan Xiaoming replied with a hint of worry in his voice.

It turned out that because Li Qingge advocated gender equality, more and more women entered the factory and became textile workers. This led to a significant increase in the production capacity of textile factories, and a surge in the output of goods such as shoes, socks and clothing. However, market demand did not keep up, resulting in a large backlog of goods, and the warehouses were almost full. Moreover, market prices continued to fall due to oversupply. If new sales channels were not opened up, I am afraid that these goods would be overstocked.

After hearing this, Li Qingge suddenly realized: "So that's it! The textile industry has exploded!" She thought to herself, this is indeed a headache. In ancient times, "clothing" was the first priority among food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it was also very expensive. An average middle-class family could only make a new piece of clothing to wear during festivals throughout the year. But now, the goods produced in large quantities by textile factories cannot be sold, which is indeed a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

After a moment's silence, she said to Pan Xiaoming, "When you go back, immediately organize people to conduct a thorough investigation of the textile factory's production capacity and understand changes in market demand. Then, prepare a detailed report for me. I want to see what exactly caused the backlog of goods and how to solve this problem."

Pan Xiaoming took the order and left, with a little more respect for Li Qingge in his heart. He knew that Her Majesty the Queen not only had extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also had keen insight and decisive decision-making ability. Under her leadership, the country would surely become stronger and more prosperous.

As for ordinary people, life was really tight. We only had one or two pieces of clothing to wear in rotation throughout the year. When they got torn, it was common to mend them. Children grow up quickly and need to change clothes frequently. The family is under great financial pressure, so parents often have to make their children wear smaller clothes. When the older brother can’t wear the clothes anymore, the younger brother will wear them. After the younger brother wears them, there may be younger brothers waiting. Just one piece of clothing, passed down for four or five generations, is torn beyond recognition in the end, with patches on top of patches, but people are reluctant to throw it away.

It was a spring afternoon, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the old stone road, adding a touch of warmth to this poor life. Under the old locust tree at the head of the village, several children wearing old clothes that had been modified to be smaller were chasing and playing, their laughter was so clear that it seemed to penetrate the hardships of the years and reach the softest part of people's hearts.

Clothes and food were so expensive in ancient times that ordinary people could only afford them. So when talking about the rich and powerful, people would enviously say that they were "dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food", "eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and wearing silk and satin". Those gorgeous clothes, shining in the sun, were like a rainbow in a dream, out of reach.

Why did the Jenny machine kick off the Industrial Revolution? It was because it greatly increased the speed of spinning, lowered the price of cloth, and allowed the money that was originally spent on clothes to flow to other industries, promoting the prosperity of production. This is like the death of a whale nourishing all things. The innovation of an industry can often drive the progress of the entire society.

People always say that housing is a rigid need, but if you think about it carefully, food, clothing and daily necessities are the real daily needs. Houses can be rented, but how to rent food and clothing? In this regard, the ancient textile industry is the real hard currency, even more hardcore than commercial real estate. It is not only a necessity of life, but also a barometer of the economy, reflecting the prosperity and decline of an era.

With the development of textile factories and machines, the prices of shoes, socks and clothes have plummeted, and the once expensive fabrics have become within reach. The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry, with many people and sufficient machines, and the production capacity is amazing. Now in our country, the price of clothing, shoes and hats is less than one percent of the previous price, and there are so many goods that they are flowing like water. In the market, colorful fabrics are piled up like mountains, dazzling and dazzling.

However, behind the prosperity lies a crisis. What merchants fear most is inventory backlog. If they have too much inventory, they cannot recover their costs and cannot sell new goods. Once the capital chain is broken, the factory will have to close and the workers will lose their jobs. This is no joke. If you are not careful, it may cause social unrest.

So, we have to find a way to open up the foreign trade market and sell the goods, so that we can make money and attract wealth from outside. But look at the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were closed-door policies. The Ming Dynasty was better, but the Qing Dynasty was almost completely closed. The coastal trade is no small matter. Pan Xiaoming stood in front of the window, looking at the busy port in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't dare to make a decision on his own, and had to ask His Majesty Li Qingge for instructions.

Her Majesty Qingge, a heroic empress, sat in the magnificent palace, but she had no airs of an emperor. She wore simple and elegant clothes, and her eyes revealed determination and wisdom. When Pan Xiaoming raised the question, she said calmly: "Only by opening up can we prosper, and by closing ourselves off can we fall behind, and falling behind will lead to being beaten. Why was the Tang Dynasty so powerful, and why was the Kaiyuan Era so glorious? It was because the sea ban was lifted, trade was frequent, and the economy prospered, attracting all nations to come. Our Great Yan is now like the rising sun, and we should insist on openness and mutual exchange to reproduce the prosperity."

Pan Xiaoming thought it made sense, so he asked, "Which ports does your Majesty plan to open?"

Her Majesty Qingge smiled, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright. "Only open one or two ports? That's too narrow-minded! If you want to open them, then open them all!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.

Pan Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this. If it was the Qing Dynasty, who would dare to say "adventurous" to the emperor? But our Great Yan is a constitutional monarchy. Her Majesty Qingge is determined to reform, and is gentle to officials and civilians. She doesn't have any literary inquisition. So after getting along for a long time, everyone knows her temper and speaks directly.

"Full opening? Wouldn't that be too radical..." Pan Xiaoming was still a little worried.

Her Majesty Qingge stood up with a smile, walked to the window, and looked at the sky in the distance. "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. A new dynasty must have a sense of momentum. What's there to be afraid of being a little radical?" Her voice was full of confidence and heroism.

Pan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. If you have no other opinions, I will do it right away!"

"Okay, I'll issue an order right away, and you go contact the foreign businessmen." His Majesty Qingge turned around, his eyes flashing with expectation and hope.

"Yes, sir!" Pan Xiaoming saluted and turned away. His heart was filled with longing and confidence for the future. He knew that under the leadership of His Majesty Qingge, the Great Yan Kingdom would surely usher in a brand new era.

Our Great Yan's textile technology is first-class, with high output and low cost, and the price is affordable. Such a good thing, are you still worried about not being able to sell it? Her Majesty Qingge originally wanted to sell it to the people in the north first, so that they can also enjoy the benefits of industrialization. But her father was powerful and was afraid of instability in the people's hearts, so he banned the north-south trade. Although Her Majesty Qingge had this intention, she had no choice. She could only secretly make up her mind to find an opportunity to let Great Yan's textiles go all over the world.

Now, once the trading ports are opened, our cloth is shipped to Southeast Asia like a sail. Those colorful cloths shine charmingly in the sun, as if they are business cards of the Great Yan Kingdom, showing our strength and charm to the world. Although the price is ten times that of domestic ones, it is still very cheap in the eyes of those small countries, and the people are rushing to buy it. Our Great Yan textiles have become popular in Southeast Asia.

Then they were sold along the sea route to the Mediterranean and Western Europe. Those nobles who were once out of reach can now wear the fabrics of the Great Yan Kingdom. They were amazed at the texture and color of the fabric and snapped up all of them. Especially the purple fabric, which was so popular. In ancient times, purple was a rare thing, difficult to make and expensive, and only nobles could afford it. Most of the purple in the West was extracted from Phoenician conch shells, which was ridiculously expensive. Although aniline purple has reduced costs now, our Great Yan still controls production and the export price is also high. Even so, the nobles in the West are still scrambling to buy it. After all, the price of a small piece of purple shawl in the past can now buy a whole piece of purple cloth. Who can not be tempted?
Her Majesty Qingge stood on the high platform of the palace, looking at the busy port and the merchant ships coming and going in the distance, her heart was full of pride and relief. She knew that all this prosperity and prosperity were inseparable from her open policy. And the starting point of all this was nothing more than a piece of clothing and a piece of cloth. She smiled, so brightly and confidently. She knew that the future of the Great Yan Kingdom would be even better! In Western countries, those fabrics that combine oriental charm and pragmatism, like a gorgeous rainbow, span between the East and the West and have become popular. They are not only beautiful and generous, but also won the favor of the market with affordable prices. And the source of all this is the Eastern Great Yan Dynasty. This ancient and mysterious country, its goods have gradually become synonymous with good quality and low price, like a fresh wind, blowing through every corner of the world.

Her Majesty Qingge, the empress of the Great Yan Dynasty, not only possesses extraordinary wisdom, but also has a forward-looking vision. She has studied modern economics in depth and is familiar with monetary systems such as the gold standard and the silver standard. Under her governance, the economy of the Great Yan Dynasty is like a giant ship setting sail, braving the wind and waves and moving forward courageously.

She knew that although money was good, too much of it could damage the foundation of a country. Therefore, she ordered those in charge of exports not to bring back too much silver after selling the goods, but to exchange more for rare minerals that were urgently needed in industry. This move was like the finishing touch, which quickly filled the treasury of Da Yan and laid a solid foundation for the country's future development.

With sufficient funds, Her Majesty Qingge did not choose to rest on her laurels, but invested the money in the construction of the country's infrastructure. She knew that a country's strength was inseparable from a sound infrastructure. As a result, roads, schools, hospitals, docks, as well as those commercial landmarks and public facilities, sprang up like mushrooms after rain, making the entire Great Yan Dynasty present a busy and orderly scene.

The machines in the factory roared day and night, as if telling the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty. The busy figures of the workers became the most beautiful scenery of this era. They not only had generous rewards, but also had sufficient rest time. Because His Majesty Qingge knew that only by protecting the rights and interests of workers could they be inspired to work more enthusiastically, thus promoting the economic development of the entire country.

The prosperity of export trade brought an unexpected super prize to His Majesty Qingge - a giant natural gas field. The reserves of this gas field are large enough to eclipse the famous North-South Pars gas field in later generations. With this gas field, the power generation problem of the Great Yan Dynasty has been fundamentally solved. Although coal-fired power generation is convenient, it is highly polluting. Natural gas power generation is clean and environmentally friendly, and can effectively reduce industrial pollution to the environment. This discovery has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the sustainable development of the Great Yan Dynasty.

In the factories of Da Yan, the workers did not work as hard as the sweatshop workers of later generations. They enjoyed a five-day work week, working eight hours a day, and had plenty of rest time. In order to protect the rights and interests of the people, His Majesty Qingge also specially established a trade union, and would never tolerate any behavior that exploited the people. Such a system allowed the workers of Da Yan to work with peace of mind without any worries.

The reason why factories in later generations worked overtime and tried desperately to increase production was largely because they lacked core technology and could only work for foreign companies and earn meager profits. But the Great Yan Dynasty was different. They controlled the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and core technology, their products were profitable, and there was sufficient labor in the factories. Therefore, they were able to make a lot of money and pay workers high salaries, forming a virtuous circle.

With the establishment and operation of factories in various places, all walks of life have shown a prosperous scene. The advancement of large-scale infrastructure has made the old city areas in the south look brand new, and new cities have emerged one after another. Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The south has a subtropical monsoon climate, with plenty of rain and heat to make people feel relaxed and happy. Rice can be grown twice a year here. Rice planted in spring can be harvested in autumn. That evening, after finishing her government affairs, Her Majesty Qingge was in a particularly good mood. She decided to go out for a walk and feel this beautiful time.

"Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report!" Liu Yong's voice came hurriedly from outside the hall, breaking the silence.

Her Majesty Qingge heard his excited voice and couldn't help but feel a little curious. She put down the pen in her hand, raised her head and said, "Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yong rushed into the palace like a gust of wind. He was so happy that he almost lost his balance and stumbled. His Majesty Qingge frowned slightly and muttered to himself: Liu Yong is usually a very stable person, why is he so out of control today?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure." Liu Yong quickly stood up and apologized. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued, "Your Majesty, I am very happy! Auspicious signs from heaven! The rice you promoted has matured, and the yield per mu exceeds 1,500 kilograms! This is a great auspicious sign from heaven! God bless our Great Yan!"

Her Majesty Qingge was a little surprised when she first heard it, but soon she was delighted. She stood up, walked to Liu Yong, patted his shoulder and said, "Really? That's great! Come on! Take me to see it!"

When the ministers heard that the rice yield was high, they all wanted to join in the fun and praise the queen's merits. They all expressed their desire to follow Her Majesty Qingge to the rice fields to witness this miracle with their own eyes.

Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the rice field. Except for His Majesty Qingge and Liu Yong, the other ministers were stunned by the scene before their eyes. The rice waves were rolling, and the golden rice ears were so heavy that they seemed to bend the branches. They swayed in the wind, as if showing their harvest and joy to the world.

Tao Linong, the Minister of Revenue, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He stared at the golden rice field with wide eyes, as if he was looking at an incredible miracle. He murmured to himself: "I have never seen such plump rice before!"

The other ministers were also amazed. Some of them shook their heads, some exclaimed in amazement, as if they were all shocked and surprised by this miracle.

"This is simply a miracle!" exclaimed a minister.

"Your Majesty, when you said the yield per mu was 1,000 kilograms, we were skeptical. Now it seems that it may be more than 1,500 kilograms!" another minister added.

Her Majesty Qingge listened to the praises of the ministers, and her heart was filled with pride and joy. She smiled and scolded: "What do you mean by long live? How can anyone in this world live ten thousand years?" Then she ordered: "Cut an acre of rice and weigh it!"

As soon as they heard the order, they immediately started harvesting rice with sickles. The sun was blazing and their backs were soaked with sweat, but their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation. Soon, the rice of one acre of land was harvested and piled up like a hill, filling seven large bags.

His Majesty Qingge weighed the weight himself, and the people around him helped count. As the weight moved, the number kept rising, and finally stopped at 1,723 kilograms. This number, like a flash of lightning, struck the hearts of everyone present, and once again impressed them with His Majesty Qingge's wisdom and decision-making.

Her Majesty Qingge looked at the heavy rice grains with deep emotion. She knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the joint efforts of her and her ministers. She believed that in the days to come, the Great Yan Dynasty would become more prosperous and become the focus of the world's attention.

As the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the rice fields, as if covering the land with a golden coat. His Majesty Qingge and his ministers set off on their journey home, their hearts filled with hope and expectation. They know that in the days to come, the Great Yan Dynasty will usher in a brighter tomorrow.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned, their eyes widened like bells, and they were speechless for a long time. There was silence in the hall, with only the occasional bird calls from outside the window, which seemed to accompany this sudden good news. Those officials who were usually calm and experienced also lost their composure at this moment, and opened their mouths as wide as if they could swallow a whole egg.

We, the officials in charge of agriculture, know best that the foundation of the country and the lives of the people all depend on whether the granaries are full. The prosperity of Dayan is not without reason. Back then, floods were rampant in the south, and the crops failed. The people could not survive, so they started a revolution and almost overturned Dayan. Now, with this high-yield rice, it is great news for the country and the people. It makes people so excited, just like rain after a long drought and clear springs in the desert.

With these thousand-jin rice seeds, the common people no longer have to worry about food. Who would think of rebelling? The Great Yan Dynasty is now as stable as Mount Tai, and it will be stable for thousands of years! Not only the officials think so, but the common people are even more grateful. Those who rely on the weather for their livelihood, their hands are shaking as they swing sickles to harvest the golden rice ears. The rice ears are heavy, as if every grain contains endless hope. Seeing that the granary is full and there is still surplus grain after paying taxes, everyone is moved to tears. They never dreamed that there would be so much rice at home!
Think about the past. If there was such a harvest, how could my relatives starve to death? Those days of displacement, hunger and cold will never happen again. Everyone knows that the good rice seeds were given by Her Majesty the Queen, and the fields were also divided by Her Majesty. The gratitude in my heart is like the endless flow of rivers. I knelt on the ground spontaneously, kowtowed in the direction of Jinling City, and shouted: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" The sound resounded through the sky, as if to convey this worship and gratitude to the sky. The worship and gratitude were even stronger than when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were alive, as if Her Majesty the Queen was the god in their hearts.

Ordinary people often say that eating is the most important thing. Now that they have no worries about food and clothing, they all praise His Majesty Qingge as a wise monarch. They also worship His Majesty's portrait at home, burn incense and worship Buddha every day, praying for His Majesty's longevity and eternal health. His Majesty's portrait is hung in the most conspicuous place. Every morning and evening, there are curls of incense rising, which are the people's endless gratitude and blessings to His Majesty.

However, there were a few old stubborn people who still had the old idea that men were superior to women. They talked nonsense in the market, saying that women should not be in power. As a result, they were immediately caught by the crowd, beaten up, and called him an ungrateful bastard! Those old stubborn people were taught a lesson and obeyed, and they dared not talk nonsense again.

The high yield of this super hybrid rice not only made the people well fed, but also greatly increased the country's tax revenue. According to the rules, land rent and land tax are exempted for land yields below 1,000 kilograms per mu, and only half of the land tax is collected for the yields exceeding 1,600 kilograms per mu. Now that the land yields of the people have exceeded 1,600 kilograms per mu, the tax revenue is naturally higher. Three or four hundred kilograms of tax can be collected per mu of land, and since the land is under the control of the state, there is no way to evade taxes. As a result, the tax revenue in the south is actually more than the total of the seven or eight years during the heyday of the Qing Dynasty!
Previously, the treasury was emptied for infrastructure construction. Now that the tax revenue is so generous, we can make great efforts again. But Her Majesty Qingge knows that this is only a temporary solution. If the country wants to develop in the long run, it still has to rely on industry and urbanization. However, in this way, farmers may go to the city to work, and no one will plant the fields. Her Majesty sat in the magnificent palace, frowning, thinking about the future of the country. She decided to use agricultural taxes to support industrial development now, and when industry is developed in the future, she will use industry to feed back agriculture, and use real money to encourage farmers to plant more fields.

Just when the southern land was experiencing a bumper harvest, the system gave Her Majesty Qingge another task: "Ding! If there is too much grain, the price will fall, and farmers will lose their enthusiasm over time. Your Majesty, please find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible! The reward is a spiritual rain!" Her Majesty Qingge frowned when she heard this. She knew very well that low grain prices would hurt farmers, and this lesson must not be forgotten!
So, His Majesty issued another decree, encouraging everyone to engage in sideline planting of high-quality, high-value-added fruits such as rose melon, golden mango, and honey plum. Once the decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar. The people obeyed His Majesty's orders, and officials also encouraged farmers to plant more fruit trees to increase their income according to local conditions.

His Majesty Qingge also used two methods to solve the problem of grain surplus: one is to export the excess grain abroad to reduce the pressure on the domestic market; the other is to establish the "Dayan Grain Group" to purchase grain on the market as a national reserve. This group is like a large reservoir, storing water during good harvests and releasing water during bad harvests, so as to regulate grain prices and stabilize people's hearts.

Those profiteers who wanted to take advantage of the situation originally wanted to hoard grain and raise the price, but in the end, they lost all their money. Looking at the piles of grain, they wanted to cry but had no tears, and could only think that they were unlucky. The people, on the other hand, applauded and said that Your Majesty was wise and powerful, and had solved a big problem for them.

The system brought good news again: "Congratulations to the host for eliminating the hidden dangers, and a spiritual rain will be rewarded!" Her Majesty Qingge was a little confused. She asked the system: "What is spiritual rain?" The system explained: "Spiritual rain is the nectar that can make plants grow quickly! As long as the rain falls, no matter what crop it is, it can mature in one year, and the quality is very good!" Her Majesty Qingge was very happy when she heard it. She imagined that it takes a long time to plant fruit trees. Now with spiritual rain, it can bear fruit in one year. This is simply an accelerator for the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country!
However, spiritual rain cannot fall casually. It can only fall after all places are planted with high-value-added agricultural products, so as to maximize its benefits. His Majesty Qingge decided to send officials to inspect various places first to ensure that the planting of agricultural products is in good condition, and then choose the right time to send spiritual rain.

This decision was well received by the whole country. People expressed that they must work hard to plant and contribute to the prosperity of the country. And the officials were also eager to show their skills and help His Majesty solve problems.

As time went by, the agriculture of Dayan became more and more prosperous. High-yield rice, high-quality fruits, abundant food reserves... all of this made Dayan's national fortune flourish to the extreme. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was prosperous and strong, as if the whole world was cheering for Dayan's rise.

Her Majesty Qingge, because of her wisdom, bravery, and foresight, became a god in the hearts of the people. Her name was forever engraved in the history of Dayan and became a legend passed down by later generations.

Time passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, three months had passed quietly. During this period of time, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the land of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the initiator of all this was the queen who sat on the dragon throne and had the world in her heart - Li Qingge.

Li Qingge, the young and wise queen, always had the welfare of the people in her heart. On this day, she received reports from various places, and learned that fruit and vegetable planting had been widely promoted, and she felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart. She knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the hard work of the people, and even more inseparable from her deep love for the country and the people.

Therefore, according to the mysterious reward of the system, Li Qingge decided to bring down an unprecedented spiritual rain on the land of Da Yan. That night, the sky seemed to be covered by a mysterious veil, and the rain was continuous, woven in the air like fine needles. The people hid in their homes, but their hearts were full of expectations and awe for this rain. They knew that this rain was the sweet rain bestowed upon them by Her Majesty the Queen, and a gift from God to them.

When it was daybreak, the people could not wait to go out of their homes. They were amazed by the scene before them. The saplings and seeds that were originally fragile seemed to be under a spell, growing up rapidly and becoming strong and vigorous.
