Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

All the noble families suffered because of this incident. They were all involved and even signed a so-called agreement of mutual advancement and retreat.

The entire nine clans were killed immediately, without exception, with heads rolling and blood flowing like a river.

However, they were desperately stopped by the hired farmhands of the noble families and the local people. These brainwashed loyal servants were willing to sacrifice their lives for their masters at all costs. Even if their entire families were killed, it could not stop their blind loyalty.

They rose up one after another, raised the slogan of killing the empress, and their momentum was overwhelming.

Ning Zhiwei had people spread the news about the heinous crimes committed by the aristocratic families, who bullied men and women and exploited the common people. They spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but did all kinds of dirty things.

The most ruthless trick is to let the children of the noble families speak out themselves, reveal their own past, and expose all the crimes of their family.

Those children of aristocratic families also said that the loyal servants were nothing more than dogs they raised. They could play with them when they wanted, kill them when they wanted, and wag their tails at you when you gave them some leftovers. They were extremely lowly and deserved to be poor all their lives, deserved to be enslaved by the aristocratic family, and deserved to have no descendants.

These words made the people who were loyal to the aristocratic masters completely collapse. The good masters in their eyes, who were kind and righteous, were actually wicked and trampled on them and treated them like pigs and dogs.

No matter how brainwashed I am, I am confused at this moment. Is it really worth it?

At this time, Ning Zhiwei asked people to publicize the national policy of Dayong. As long as one is a citizen of the Yong Dynasty, everyone can get land, divided equally, and be tax-free for the first three years.

These three points have a fatal attraction to ordinary people.

Can your good master do this? Can he keep you well fed and clothed? Can he protect you?

No, they just treat you as dogs! Pigs and dogs that can be slaughtered at any time! They also want to make sure you have no descendants!

With such a comparison, how many people can bear it? Once the first one wakes up, there will be a second one, and a third one.

Everyone should go back and wait quietly for the land to be divided and farm it, live a good life, don't get involved in those fights, and don't compete to be cannon fodder.

The aristocratic families killed wave after wave, and those who were visible were either killed or fled elsewhere.

As for those who changed their surnames and hid in secret, the imperial court announced that they would not hold them accountable for their past behavior. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, the imperial court is too lazy to hunt you down.

In this way, everyone was at peace, the situation in Jiangnan was temporarily stabilized, and a large amount of fertile land and wealth were harvested.

Ning Zhiwei is busy every day and has too many things to deal with.

"The training of that batch of Jinshi is almost done. We will select some of them to serve as officials in Jiangnan to appease the people and deal with this broken land. The influence of the aristocratic families is too great and must be gradually eliminated."

First fight, then appease, then govern, and develop slowly.

Mr. Zhou's eyes were red from staying up all night. He was full of admiration for Ning Zhiwei's magical operation. Haha, she actually let the child of a noble family reveal his own secrets. How did she come up with this idea?

"Your Majesty, which batch of Jinshi do you know best? Please draw up a list."

That was the first imperial examination after Ning Zhiwei became emperor, and the 300 scholars selected were all her direct descendants.

She also received special training for several months and learned a variety of knowledge. Now it's time for her to go out to work.

Three hundred people probably aren't enough.

After she finishes the war, she will hold another imperial examination to recruit talented people.

"Row."

A guard reported, "Your Majesty, the head of the Yuan Dazhong family and his son request to see you."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting about this person. "Let them in."

Yuan Dazhong came in with a young boy and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, may your Majesty live long and long."

"Get up." Ning Zhiwei's gaze fell on the young boy, who had delicate features and looked a little nervous and restrained.

"Is this your son?"

Yuan Dazhong replied respectfully, "Yes, his name is Yuan Jingrao."

Most of the aristocratic families were killed, but the Yuan family was still alive because of the reputation of the Mohist school.

He winked at his son, and the young boy didn't react at first, but only reacted after Yuan Dazhong pushed and pinched him.

"Your Majesty, I made something with my own hands to present to you."

She looked a little dull and not very smart. Ning Zhiwei nodded and said, "Let me take a look."

The young boy opened the box he brought, took out the things inside, and fiddled with it for a while, and a complete model appeared.

It looks like a cow or a horse, can walk by itself, and can avoid obstacles when encountering them. It is quite flexible.

Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up and he was very excited. "Is this the legendary wooden ox and flowing horse?"

Legend has it that this was a magical object invented by Zhuge Liang, but it has been lost.

The young boy nodded, "Yes, it's just a model, but it can be enlarged as a whole."

Speaking of this, he talked endlessly, "This is a tool specially used to transport grain. It has a load capacity of four loads and can travel forty miles a day. It can travel on country roads and mountain roads."

Although he is young, his eyes sparkle when he talks about these things, showing his true passion.

Ning Zhiwei likes this kind of pure people, "Have you ever made a real thing?"

The young boy stared at the model, "Not yet, I just finished making the model and verified the conclusion above."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Now the transportation of food depends entirely on manpower, which is too hard and consumes a lot of energy.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. If you can produce something real, I'll pardon the Yuan family."

The young boy was shocked and said, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I can do it."

Ning Dazhong felt relieved. With the emperor's words, he felt at ease.

"Your Majesty, this is a treasured book passed down from the Yuan family."

Ning Zhiwei took it and read a few pages. As he flipped through the pages, his expression gradually became serious. "Aruo, can you make these farm tools?"

These farm tools are much better than those used by ordinary people, but why didn't they pass down? Did they treasure them? Did they keep them for their own use? These noble families...

As an emperor, she knew very well what advanced and easy-to-use agricultural tools meant.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

Ah Luo? The boy was stunned. Was he calling him? "Yes, these are not difficult."

A thought flashed through Ning Zhiwei's mind, "Do you know who the Minister of Industry of our dynasty is?"

The young boy shook his head, "I don't know, I don't care about these."

Yuan Dazhong knew that he was extremely anxious, but since the emperor was not talking to him, he did not dare to interrupt.

Ning Zhiwei smiled faintly, "The Minister of Works, Shengxia, was granted the title of Marquis of Chen as a woman. Do you know how she could become a marquis and a prime minister?"

The young boy could only think of one possibility, "Could she be a craftsman?"

Yuan Dazhong couldn't help but glare at him. He was the emperor's confidant and an important official in the court. He couldn't be offended. "Don't talk nonsense."

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "She manages a place with many craftsmen. Explosives, cotton, and woolen yarn all come from there. It's where the best craftsmen gather."

The boy's eyes lit up, "I want to go too!"

Ning Zhiwei pointed out, "In our dynasty, one can be conferred a title of nobility by studying things."

The young boy didn’t understand, but Yuan Dazhong’s heart was beating wildly, he understood everything!

His eyes sparkled with excitement, and his face flushed. "Your Majesty, I am willing to take my entire clan there, let's go together! It's a very suitable place for our Mohist family."

Oh my god, if they had known that the empress was so open-minded and attached so much importance to the study of things, why would their family still struggle? They would have gone to her long ago! They would have cried and begged for her to take them in!

Ning Zhiwei said solemnly, "Once you enter there, you will be in seclusion from the world. It will be very difficult to get out again, but your achievements will be remembered and you will be rewarded if you have made contributions."

"I do." The young boy nodded vigorously.

"Our whole family is willing!" Yuan Dazhong's voice was louder than anyone else. He had no ability, but he had a good son!

He is so lucky. He could rely on his father in the past, and he can rely on his son in the future!
