The little concubine with many children and good fortune wins the harem by doing nothing

"Ha! Another crazy one!"

The guard outside the cold palace listened to the noise inside and said coldly.

As if they were used to it, they no longer had any sympathy for their crying and hysteria.

All those who were sent here to end their lives were once the most powerful concubines, and they all died quietly in the end.

There has never been a shortage of women in the front and back harems, but what was unexpected was that the current emperor would actually disband the entire harem for the sake of Concubine Xian.

Thinking back to the time when everyone in the harem lined up to study, this harem had already begun to become different.

Although many people say that the emperor is violating the rules of his ancestors, the emperor's strength lies in the fact that under his governance, the people now live and work in peace and there is no war on the border.

Even now, every city in Zhaoguo has "convenient medical officers" and "free private schools". Which one is not a real good thing done by the current emperor for the people!

Not to mention that the emperor also killed corrupt officials and rectified the country's prestige! In short, the current emperor is a wise ruler!

Although the guards in the cold palace were not aware of what was happening outside the palace, there was basically nothing they didn't know about what was happening inside the palace.

As for the fact that the current emperor dismissed the harem and only favored the virtuous concubine, it sounds like a heinous crime, but for a guard in the cold palace who has seen too many palace fights, this is actually a good thing.

Who knows, maybe the cold palace won’t exist in the future, I just had these random thoughts.

Finally, when there is no movement inside, they will go in to take a look to see whether the person is dead or alive.

At this time in the study of Yaoguang Palace, Chu Junze was looking at the design drawings of the improved textile machine given to him by Su Qianqian.

Even though he was a layman, he could see that if the textile machine was manufactured according to this design, it would definitely change Zhao's textile industry.

Chu Junze was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He knew very well the importance of this blueprint, as it represented the future and hope of the country.

So, at the morning court the next day, he summoned officials from the Ministry of Works and skilled craftsmen without hesitation, determined to make this great invention a reality as soon as possible.

Under the close attention of Chu Junze, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry worked day and night and tirelessly. After months of hard work, they finally ushered in a historic moment - the first improved textile machine was born!

This textile machine is not only incredibly efficient, several times more efficient than traditional textile machines, but also produces fabrics of excellent quality.

Chu Junze realized that such innovative achievements must be quickly popularized throughout the country so that more people can benefit.

Therefore, he decisively promulgated a series of powerful policies, actively promoted private workshops to adopt new textile machines, and gave them corresponding subsidies and preferential treatment.

These measures led to the emergence of new textile machines in various parts of the Chu State, greatly promoting the vigorous development of the Zhao State's textile industry.

During this process, Zhao's textile production increased significantly and its economic strength grew.

After receiving the emperor's order, Qian Wenbo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sold all the surplus cloth to small countries around Zhao State.

Lord Qian never thought that during his official career, he would see the national treasury running out of money again!

Chu Junze also didn't expect that the many business ideas that Qianqian gave him would make him so rich that even the national treasury could not hold all the money.

Su Qianqian looked at his shocked expression and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that the emperor has really become the richest man in Zhao State. It was really worth it that she had given him so many good ideas to make money.

Seeing him like this, Su Qianqian deliberately joked: "What's wrong with the emperor? Is it because he has too much money and doesn't know how to spend it?"

After saying this, she couldn't help laughing.

Now there is plenty of silver in the treasury, so the military pay sent to the border has increased a lot.

Especially in the north and west, because the conditions in those two places are extremely harsh, so giving them more military pay and food really solves their urgent needs.

Despite this, the treasury still has surplus!

It was only after Chu Junze finished reading the account book that he discovered that there was so much silver in the national treasury.

It seems that it is time to reward the three armies, and at the same time the monthly salary of the ministers in the court can also be increased.

Thinking of this, Chu Junze felt that it would be better to hold a moon-viewing banquet directly, and then give his Qianqian a raise in status.

Although he really wanted to enthrone Su Qianqian as queen directly, his Qianqian stopped him. She felt that it would be safer to move up the ladder step by step.

And there’s still a lot of time to go!

Now she was the only concubine left in the harem, and her rank was not particularly important, so she suggested that she be promoted to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort at this moon-viewing banquet.

It won’t be too late to promote her to the position of queen after she does more practical things for the people of Zhao.

"Someone, come and convey my order." Chu Junze stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight outside the window and shouted loudly.

The eunuch hurried over and bowed respectfully, saying, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Chu Junze turned around, smiled, and said slowly: "Order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Viewing Banquet and invite all the ministers and their families to attend."

The eunuch received the order and withdrew, then quickly went to convey the emperor's will.

Time flies, and Mid-Autumn Night is here in a blink of an eye.

The palace was decorated with lights everywhere, and the scene was bustling and prosperous.

The moonlight fell on the earth like water, illuminating the entire palace.

Chu Junze, wearing a dragon robe, slowly walked up to the high seat holding Su Qianqian's hand. He glanced at the ministers and their families below the stage with a firm and confident look.

Chu Junze's voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the palace: "Today I want to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Xian. Do you have any objections?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below knelt down one after another to express their loyalty and support to the emperor. They shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you, and may the imperial concubine live a thousand years!" The shouts were deafening and shook people's hearts.

Seeing that the civil and military officials were so tactful, Chu Junze raised the corners of his mouth slightly and felt even happier.

He nodded slightly and signaled to Eunuch Xi beside him, "Announce my second imperial edict."

Eunuch Xi responded respectfully, holding the imperial edict in both hands and walked to the center of the hall. After clearing his throat, he read out the contents: "The Emperor, in compliance with the will of Heaven, proclaims that today our country of Dazhao is rich and strong, and our borders are stable, all thanks to the concerted efforts of all of you, my dear ministers.

I am deeply pleased, and have decided to grant each of my subjects an increase in their monthly salary from today onwards, to show my appreciation for you. I decree this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and thanks rang out again in the court.

All the ministers knelt down to express their gratitude and expressed their willingness to help the emperor solve his problems even at the cost of their lives.

They were fully aware of the profound meaning of the emperor's move, which was not only a reward to them, but also an encouragement and trust.

Chu Junze nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for everyone to stand up.

He looked at the excited faces of his ministers and felt secretly happy. Today's move not only consolidated his position, but also won the hearts of the people, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

To put it in a simple way, sometimes as long as the money is paid, many things can be easily handled. If they are difficult to handle, it means that not enough money has been paid.
