After binding the system, I became a national mystery person
Chapter 70 Female General (10)
When Su Jinru was fourteen years old, the economy, agriculture, and weapons research of the State of Chen developed very rapidly, and the entire country was prosperous.
That day, Su Jinru attended the morning court.
Emperor Su Chenxun sat on the dragon throne and asked, "Jinru, has there been any new progress in the agricultural department you are in charge of recently?
I've heard that new technology has been introduced to the southern rice-growing areas. I wonder if it can increase our country's grain production and alleviate the people's worries about food and clothing?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinru took a step forward respectfully, holding the ivory tablet tightly in her hand, her eyes firm and full of confidence.
"Your Majesty, the agricultural department that I am in charge of has recently had a great event.
As Your Majesty has heard, a cultivation technique called 'double-season rice' has indeed been introduced in the southern rice-growing areas.
This technology originated from Yincheng, where rice can be harvested twice a year by optimizing rice seeds and adjusting planting times.
This allows the same field to harvest two crops of rice in one year, greatly increasing food production."
Su Chenxun was very pleased and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Jinru, you've done a great job! Food is the foundation of a country, and people depend on it for survival. Your actions are truly a great achievement that benefits both the country and the people. I will reward you handsomely!"
Su Jinru quickly bowed and humbly said, "Your Majesty, I am only fulfilling my duty.
All the achievements are attributed to Your Majesty's wise leadership and the unity of the court.
I, your humble servant, am willing to continue to share your majesty's worries and work for the well-being of the people of Chen."
Su Chenxun nodded in approval, his eyes full of expectation and trust.
He has always known that Su Jinru is not only extremely talented, but also has a heart that cares about the country and the people. He is a rare pillar of talent in the court.
Afterwards, the Minister of War also came forward and reported to Su Chenxun the new progress in weapons research.
His voice was steady, and there was a hint of pride in his tone: "Your Majesty, my Ministry of War has recently made a breakthrough in weapons research and development.
We have successfully improved the repeating crossbow, which not only has a longer range, but also a faster rate of fire and significantly improved accuracy.
In addition, we have also developed muskets and gunpowder, which are extremely powerful."
When Su Chenxun heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes. He knew very well the importance of weapons to national defense.
He patted the armrest of the dragon throne and exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent! Weapons are the cutting edge of a nation. It is a great honor for our Great Chen that you have achieved such success in this area.
I will personally go to the armory to see the power of these new weapons."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers echoed it, and the atmosphere became heated for a while.
Su Jinru stood among the ministers, looking at Su Chenxun's high-spirited figure, and a strong sense of pride and mission surged in her heart.
Her mission is to ensure the security of the State of Chen. Now the ministers of the State of Chen are using their efforts to make this country a better place.
Although the blueprints were provided by himself, the subsequent weapons manufacturing and research were done by Chen Guo himself.
I believe that even if I am no longer around, the State of Chen will continue to grow stronger.
After the court session, Su Jinru followed Emperor Su Chenxun to the Ministry of Works.
Looking at the busy figures of the craftsmen, and the new crossbows and muskets lined up in a row, the cold metallic luster was flashing in the sun.
She couldn't help but nod secretly. The appearance of these weapons undoubtedly added a strong stroke to the military strength of the State of Chen.
Su Chenxun personally tested the crossbow, and saw the arrows flying like locusts towards the bull's eye in the distance.
The accuracy, long range and fast speed amazed everyone present.
He nodded with satisfaction and gave high praise and rewards to the Minister of War and a group of craftsmen.
They then visited the powder magazine where the newly developed gunpowder was stored.
Su Chenxun watched a demonstration of a gunpowder explosion in a safe area. The deafening sound and shocking flames made him deeply appreciate the power of gunpowder.
This will be an indispensable and important weapon in future wars.
The last thing we visited was the musket, an innovative work of this era, lying quietly on the display stand.
Su Chenxun personally picked up a musket, feeling its heavy weight, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Under the demonstration of the craftsman, he learned how to load gunpowder, push in the projectile, and carefully aim at the distant target.
With a crisp gunshot, the air seemed to be torn apart, a thick smoke rose, and a charred hole appeared at the center of the bull's eye, accurate and deadly.
Su Chenxun was shocked, but more than that, he was delighted and excited.
He knew very well that this long-range weapon would greatly change the battlefield situation and bring unprecedented military advantages to the State of Chen.
"Good! What a great musket!" Su Chenxun praised repeatedly and gave high praise to the craftsmen's wisdom and diligence.
He looked around and saw that all the craftsmen had proud expressions on their faces, their eyes shining with love for technology and loyalty to the country.
The Minister of Works explained, "Your Majesty, these weapons have been manufactured, and everyone is now conducting final adjustments and tests.
Make sure every musket fires accurately and without error.
We also designed a simple aiming device to improve shooting accuracy and make it easier for soldiers to use it."
Su Chenxun nodded, very satisfied with this.
He understood that technological advancement was not just an innovation in weapons themselves, but also a profound change in tactics and strategy.
He thought for a moment and ordered, "Immediately organize the army for training so that the soldiers can become familiar with and master these muskets as soon as possible.
At the same time, the military supply department was ordered to produce in large quantities to prepare for future wars."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise. I will go down and prepare right away." The Minister of Works accepted the order.
Su Jinru stood aside, watching this scene, her heart also filled with emotion.
She believes that the achievement of these results is not only the credit of the craftsmen, but also the result of the unity and joint efforts of the entire Chen State.
From agriculture to weapons, progress in every field is a solid step towards the prosperity of the State of Chen.
When leaving the Ministry of Works, Su Chenxun deliberately left Su Jinru behind.
He said earnestly: "Jinru, you are not only my sister, but also the future of Chen State.
I am deeply pleased to see the State of Chen today.
Because of your selfless contribution, the State of Chen is now even stronger. I thank you on behalf of the people of Chen."
Su Chenxun has been feeling guilty in recent years. His sister has been working hard for the State of Chen since she was ten years old. After she took on agricultural tasks at the age of eleven, she rarely returned to Beijing and has been traveling outside.
Now, two years have passed and I finally returned to Kyoto.
If it weren't for his sister's strong abilities and the instability of the State of Chen, Su Chenxun would not have felt comfortable letting his sister leave Kyoto at such a young age.
When Su Jinru heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that her brother was reluctant, but it was all for the betterment of the State of Chen.
Su Jinru nodded solemnly and said firmly: "Don't worry, my royal brother. I am a princess of the Chen Kingdom. I enjoy the offerings of the people of the Chen Kingdom. I should contribute my own efforts to the Chen Kingdom."
