After binding the system, I became a national mystery person

Chapter 54 The Emperor is in My House (12)

A warm feeling surged in He Caiyun's heart, and she felt His Majesty's care and trust in her.

She knows very well that this trust is not only a recognition of her personally, but also a trust in the entire bureaucratic system she represents.

She secretly made up her mind to live up to His Majesty's trust and contribute all her strength to the prosperity of the Jinsheng Dynasty.

As night fell, the palace became quiet.

Su Jinru stood alone in front of the window, looking at the starry sky, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

She had been planning this war for a long time. The Jinsheng Dynasty's army was powerful and had advanced weapons, so it was impossible for them to fail.

Five months passed, and during this period, many good news came.

There was a court meeting that day.

"Your Majesty, we have received letters of surrender from some countries. Now only two countries have not surrendered."

He held several documents of surrender tightly in his hands, and his voice was filled with joy.

In the court, all the ministers had happy expressions on their faces, as if the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

"Prime Minister, do you know why those two countries haven't surrendered yet?"

Su Jinru's voice was calm and powerful, yet it carried an authority that could not be ignored.

The Prime Minister was slightly stunned, then replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, these two countries, because of their difficult terrain, are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they believe they have a natural barrier to rely on;

Secondly, their rulers are all ambitious and unwilling to submit to others, and even less willing to see the Jinsheng Dynasty unify the world."

Su Jinru smiled faintly when she heard this. These two countries were just struggling before death.

"As the Art of War says, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities.

What I want is not only the expansion of territory, but also the loyalty of people's hearts."

Su Jinru stood up and slowly walked to the front of the hall, scanning the ministers below with a sharp gaze.

"Pass the order to strengthen intelligence gathering on the two countries. At the same time, send envoys to treat them with courtesy and explain the benefits and risks.

Tell them that although my army is strong, I would rather win people over with my kindness and virtue.

If they are willing to surrender, I can guarantee the continuation of their royal bloodline and the people's peace and prosperity; if they insist on resisting, they will surely bring about their own destruction."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise."

In the following days, envoys from the Jinsheng Dynasty shuttled between the two countries, convincing people with reason and moving people with emotion.

At the same time, Su Jinru also secretly deployed and sent elite troops to take a detour, preparing to give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Two months later, General Wang Cheng led his troops to occupy one of the countries.

After hearing the news, the monarch of another country felt deeply desperate and finally decided to open the city and surrender, thus avoiding unnecessary sacrifices.

Because of the difference in weapons, the weapons of the Jinsheng Dynasty were advanced, while the weapons of other countries were still at the musket stage.

On the battlefield, the battles between the Jinsheng Dynasty and other countries could not be described as evenly matched, but rather as one-sided massacres.

For several months, the army of the Jinsheng Dynasty spent most of its time traveling and transporting supplies, and had very little time for actual fighting.

At this point, the Jinsheng Dynasty completed the complete unification of the continent in just a few months.

Su Jinru's name has also been forever engraved on the monument of history.

*************

On this day, at the court meeting, the ministers held a heated discussion on the far-reaching issues after the unification of the continent.

The first and foremost issue is the unification of writing, currency, language and culture.

These measures are of immeasurable value in consolidating the new unified regime and promoting exchanges and integration among different regions.

"Writing is the foundation of a country and the carrier of culture." Prime Minister He Caiyun spoke first, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Nowadays, our country is vast and the local writing systems are complex, making it difficult for the people to communicate, let alone spread classics and pass on knowledge.

Therefore, it is imperative to unify the writing system.

I suggest that we take the commonly used writing system in the Central Plains as a basis, integrate the essence of writing systems from various regions, and create a set of standard writing systems for universal use. This will set the record straight and benefit both the country and the people."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers nodded in agreement, believing that this was an important step in laying the cultural foundation of the country.

"Currency is the lifeblood of the economy and the medium of circulation." The Minister of Revenue followed closely and explained the necessity of a unified currency.

"The wide variety of currencies and complicated exchange rates across the country have seriously hindered the circulation of goods and economic development.

A unified currency can not only simplify transaction processes and reduce transaction costs, but also promote balanced economic development in various regions.

I suggest that we immediately start minting a unified national currency and promote its use nationwide to unclog the economic blood vessels."

“Only when we share the same language can we understand each other’s minds.” The Minister of Rites proposed the idea of a unified language.

"There are many dialects in my country now, and although each has its own characteristics, it also brings inconvenience to cross-regional communication.

Language unification does not mean eliminating dialects, but promoting a standard language used nationwide as the official language and educational language on the basis of respecting cultural diversity in various places.

This will not only maintain cultural diversity, but also promote unity and integration among people from all over the world."

"Cultural unity brings unity to the people." The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet explored the significance of cultural unity from a deeper level.

“Culture is the soul of a nation and the spiritual bond that maintains national unity.

To unify culture is to promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, advocate common values, and enhance national identity and cohesion.

We can do this by compiling unified history textbooks, promoting classic literary works, and organizing national cultural activities.

Let the people of the whole country share in this cultural feast and jointly inherit and develop Chinese culture."

When discussing the issue of personnel and missionaries stationed in overseas territories, the ministers reached a consensus.

They believe that both garrisons and missionaries are extensions of a country's soft power, safeguarding national interests and ensuring territorial integrity.

Although the overseas lands now belong to the Jinsheng Dynasty, it has just been surrendered, and there is still a lot to do.

The garrison not only represents the country's military strength, but is also a staunch guardian of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere at the court meeting became increasingly warm and solemn.

Every minister is fully aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and his every word and every decision will affect the future and destiny of the country.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, a series of major decisions regarding the unification of the continent were made and implemented.

It was not until the 33rd year of Jinsheng, when Su Jinru was in her 40s, that the world finally achieved true peace.

After more than ten years, the overseas territories were gradually integrated into the Jinsheng Dynasty family.

The residents of these lands went from initial doubts and resistance to later acceptance and integration.
