A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

With the rise of sweet potato planting in Beijing, a wave of enthusiasm quickly swept across the country, and various places followed suit and competed to plant sweet potatoes. Yuan Ying led everyone to reclaim wasteland and plant sweet potatoes, ensuring that the diversified planting of crops was achieved without occupying arable land to plant staple food.

The people were very skeptical about the rootless sweet potato vines, but everyone planted them with great care. If the yield per mu could reach 400 dan as the court said, everyone would be able to fill their stomachs.

Emperor Kangren issued an imperial decree, strictly prohibiting the export of sweet potatoes from all over the country, and those who violated the order would be killed without mercy. Daxia was short of food, just like the surrounding countries. In ancient times, food was the foundation of a country. Those who controlled the source of food were like those who had the initiative and the initiative, and their power was enough to conquer the world and dominate one side.

As a modern person, Yuan Ying naturally hopes that no one in the world will go hungry. But since she has become the prime minister of Daxia, she is well aware of the responsibilities and helplessness she shoulders. Although she wants to help the world, she also needs to follow the country's laws and consider the overall situation.

All the sweet potatoes were transplanted to the field, and Yuan Ying's heart was settled. She strongly recommended Luo Huaian to Emperor Kang Ren as the Minister of Revenue, and smoothly transferred the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue to Luo Huaian. Luo Huaian's upright and selfless character was exactly what the Ministry of Revenue needed. Afterwards, Yuan Ying also officially entered the Political Affairs Hall and took on the important task of Prime Minister.

When he first took office, Yuan Ying wrote to Emperor Kang Ren to request an adjustment to the time of the morning court session. Imagine that in the capital at the end of December, with heavy snow and strong winds, the weather was freezing cold, and water almost turned to ice. A group of old men in their sixties and seventies had to get up at three in the morning in the wind and snow, and before dawn, they rushed to the front of the imperial city under the stars and the moon to wait for the court session, shivering with cold...

This is totally unnecessary. In modern military, the waking time is earlier than other industries, which is 6 o'clock. The official working time is also 8 o'clock in the morning.

To be honest, many people standing in the court at five o'clock were still sleepy and their minds were still at home, so they were not efficient at all.

Therefore, adjusting the time of the morning court is actually to show sympathy to old ministers and improve the efficiency of government.

In the court, Emperor Kang Ren flipped through Yuan Ying's memorial and asked, "My dear Yuan, why did you change the time of the morning court?"

Yuan Ying stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the governance of a country depends first on people's hearts and then on physical strength. Considering the safety of your Majesty, and the fact that the elders in the court are all pillars of the court, they have experienced the vicissitudes of life and the baptism of wind and frost over the years.

But in the cold winter months, in the early morning, the weather is freezing and it is not a good way to maintain health. It is also difficult to ensure that you are in good spirits to deal with state affairs.

Therefore, I boldly propose to postpone the morning court session to the morning hour, so that the officials can have enough rest and feel refreshed for the whole day, so that they can gather their wisdom and perform their duties faithfully for the country and the people. "

As soon as Yuan Ying's words were spoken, they quickly aroused widespread resonance in the court.

The Minister of History immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Yuan said makes sense. Holding court too early is indeed bad for the health of the ministers. Moreover, this way, the ministers will have more time to handle government affairs and improve work efficiency."

But there were some who objected. Grand Tutor Zhou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, holy emperors and wise kings have always regarded respect and diligence as virtues. Going to court early is the first thing to do to be diligent in government. This is what our ancestors have passed down, how can we change it at will?"

Emperor Kang Ren frowned slightly, looked at Yuan Ying and said, "Your Excellency Yuan, what you said is not without reason, but the time of the morning court session was set by our ancestors. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to change it easily."

Yuan Ying was calm when he heard this and continued, "Your Majesty is wise, but times have changed. Although the laws of our ancestors cannot be easily abolished, we must also adapt to the times and be flexible.

I have heard an old saying: "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish." It needs to be cooked slowly over a low fire to make it tasty. The old ministers in the court are all treasures of the country. If they are damaged by the severe cold and then lose their wisdom, wouldn't it be a loss for the country?

Furthermore, I believe that diligence is not about how early or late one starts, but about sincerity of heart and sincerity of action. If all the officials can devote themselves to state affairs with full spirit, why should we worry about the government not flourishing and the country not being strong? "

For a time, there were many different opinions in the court, with voices of support and opposition rising one after another.

Emperor Kang Ren pondered for a moment and decided, "In this case, we might as well give it a try. Let's follow Minister Yuan's suggestion and adjust the morning court time to the morning hour. If it works, we'll make a final decision."

When all the ministers heard this, they all agreed, bowed their heads and kowtowed, and spoke in unison.

Therefore, the time of court meetings was adjusted to 7:00 in summer and 8:00 in winter in accordance with the weather to correspond to the order of the four seasons.

All the ministers praised Yuan Ying's move, with voices of praise coming one after another.

Emperor Kangren was also very pleased. He didn't want to get up in a hurry in the early morning of winter, and he was afraid that his ministers would say that he was a lazy monarch. When Yuan Ying proposed to change the time of the morning court, he was so happy that he couldn't wait.

Everyone was praising Yuan Ying, but soon the criticism came like a wave.

She noticed the problem of cumbersome and inefficient official system. So she reformed the official system again and started a series of official system reforms. She drew lessons from the concept of military management, streamlined the organization, clarified responsibilities, and implemented the performance appraisal system. The performance appraisal system was criticized by the ministers, and some even reported it directly to Emperor Kang Ren.

Emperor Kang Ren was troubled by the impeachment memorials that were flying in like snowflakes. He summoned Yuan Ying alone.

Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying worriedly: "My dear Yuan, there are constant criticisms of your reforms in the court. Although the performance appraisal is new, it makes all officials panic."

Yuan Ying bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I know that reform is difficult, but if we don't change, the country will be weak. The bureaucracy is complicated and needs to be cleansed and the good promoted. Performance appraisal is for this purpose. I am not doing this for my own selfish interests, but for the country. I hope Your Majesty will give me some time and I will see results."

Emperor Kang Ren nodded: "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. I am not a conservative person. But reforms must be carried out with caution. I hope you will pay attention to public opinion and make timely adjustments to prevent the reforms from getting out of control."

Yuan Ying looked determined, bowed again and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will be cautious in my words and actions, and please rest assured that I will live up to your trust, and in time I will make our Great Xia prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren was pleased and patted Yuan Ying on the shoulder: "I am very pleased that you have such determination. I know that you are loyal and talented, and you will surely lead our Great Xia to glory. I look forward to your good achievements, and even more to the future of our Great Xia."

Emperor Kang Ren wrote in his memorial to his ministers, "Practice vigorously." These two words were brief but powerful.

The next day, Emperor Kang Ren publicly announced his support for Yuan Ying's reforms, and stressed: "I have made up my mind. The road to reform is fraught with difficulties. I must act with all my strength to overcome all difficulties and revive Daxia."

When these words were spoken, the whole government was shocked. The ministers were either surprised or suspicious, but they understood that the trend of reform was irreversible.

Yuan Ying took advantage of this opportunity to quickly adjust his strategy, add more communication channels, and open up opportunities for communication, striving to make the reform measures both bold and in line with the people's sentiments.

With Yuan Ying's careful assistance, Emperor Kang Ren gradually stabilized the government, but this also quietly awakened his long-hidden love.

He sat on the magnificent dragon throne, his eyes occasionally sweeping across the spring scenery outside the palace, causing ripples in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Queen Wang, knowing the emperor's intention well, began to prepare for the selection of a concubine in order to balance the delicate relationship between the court and the harem.

Queen Wang carefully selected beauties from all over the country, all of whom were talented, beautiful, and dignified. At the selection ceremony, the beauties were dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, like a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom, which made Emperor Kangren dazzled.

When Queen Wang saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile gently, but she was secretly thinking about her own plans and considerations in her heart.
