The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Spring goes and autumn comes. This is Yunzhi's fifth year here, and she can finally speak and run.

Although this family of three is the same inside and out, they are all stupid and easy to deceive, just like they appear to be.

But, he treated her very well.

This was the first time Yun Zhi felt the love of family, and it turned out that there was no need for intrigue and deception.

At this time, she was wearing two small pigtails and sitting on the steps bored, watching a group of ants crawling past her.

When she saw the ants were about to carry the food back to the hole, Yun Zhi picked up a branch at hand and carried the food away again.

Just like that, I never get tired of playing.

Over the past five years, Yun Zhi has roughly figured out where she is.

The place where they are is the Kingdom of Apocalypse, a country that did not exist in the history of the previous life.

It is completely different from the place in my previous life, like a parallel universe.

When she first learned to speak, she wanted to know what the final outcome of the dynasty would be after her death.

As a result, we discovered that we were not on the same historical line.

This year is the 31st year of Yuankang, and the country has been established for more than 200 years.

Now, we are in Qingping County, a remote small county far away from the capital.

In this remote place, information is not very well-informed, and Yun Zhi can only rely on what others say and what she sees with her own eyes.

According to her understanding, taxes here would be raised every three years and corvee labor would also be increased.

If nothing changes, within twenty years, I'm afraid there will be uprisings, warlords fighting for supremacy, and corpses everywhere.

The people don't care who is the emperor, they only care about whether they can have enough to eat. If this continues, the people will have nothing to eat and will sooner or later rebel when they are forced into a corner.

As for these things, where did he know some of them? Yun Zhi looked at the person who was trotting back.

"Sister, I'm back."

Yun Jingxian ran to Yun Zhi and sat down next to her. He took out the bag sewn by Lin Huixin, took out the handwritten notebook inside, opened it, and pointed at the contents on it.

"Sister, the teacher told us this today..."

Then he began to stammer.

Two years ago, Yun Jingxian was sent to a nearby private school.

Every day, the teacher would tell her what he had taught.

It was also at this time that Yun Zhi discovered that the characters in this place were almost the same as in the previous life. She would naturally learn it by reading it a few more times.

It seemed that Yun Zhi was listening to his lecture attentively, but in fact, she was already daydreaming.

"Sister, do you understand?"

"Yeah, brother is really amazing. He explained it so clearly. I know it now."

Yun Jingxian smiled embarrassedly after being praised, "No, my sister is still the best."

Yun Zhi concealed her expression, looked at Yun Jingxian beside her, and asked the question that had been on her mind for a while, "By the way, brother, why haven't we been to grandfather's house yet?"

This is also what Yun Zhi is curious about. If it is because he is far away and has no chance to go back, it is barely normal, but his family has never mentioned it in the past five years, which is not normal.

Is there something going on here?

Over the years, she has gotten a general understanding of the people in the family.

When Yun Youde was young, he was an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in this town. The master who opened that shop was their grandfather.

Later, seeing that Yun Youde was honest and capable, she betrothed her daughter to him.

Later, Yun Youde used all his savings to open his current blacksmith shop, and the business is pretty good.

Their maternal grandfather was a cultured man who had received some education, and his ancestors had been wealthy, but their fortunes had begun to decline during their grandfather's generation.

Every New Year, their parents would take them to their grandfather's house, but they had never heard of their grandfather.

Yun Jingxian looked around and moved closer to Yun Zhi. "Shh, sister, I'm going to tell you quietly. Don't tell Dad and Mom."

Yun Zhi nodded in agreement and lowered her voice, "Well, I won't tell you."

"I once secretly heard from my father and mother that my father had a quarrel with my grandparents, and then he broke off relations with them and came to town alone."

Yun Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly and waved the branch in her hand casually.

It's strange that she could make her honest and simple father so angry. He was determined not to go back for so many years. It's really amazing.

"Jingxian, Meimei is coming in for dinner."

The voice of my mother Lin Huixin came from the inner room.

"Okay, my sister and I will be in right away."

Yunzhi's nickname, "姩姩", was chosen from the most educated old scholar in town. It cost one or two taels of silver at that time, which was enough for almost a month's living expenses for the family.

While eating, Yun Youde looked at his daughter and said, "Mianmei, do you want daddy to find a teacher to teach you?"

During this period, he also discovered that his daughter was very smart. Those words that were difficult for him, his son could read and write them after simply saying them to his daughter.

This must be the genius my father-in-law was talking about.

As Yunzhi grew up, her neighbors all said that she didn't look like a child born to Yun Youde and his wife.

As her face slowly opened up, it became brighter and brighter, and every gesture she made exuded a unique charm.

Everyone says that Yunzhi has the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family or an official's family.

In fact, Yun Zhi also discovered that this face was nearly 60% similar to the one in her previous life.

Looking at Yun Zhi's cute face, Yun Youde picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. He thought of hiring a teacher for his daughter so that she could find a good husband in the future with this knowledge.

Unexpectedly, Yun Zhi shook her head and said, "Dad, no need. I can just learn from my brother."

She was still clear about the situation at home. Running this shop was better than those of ordinary people, but it was just enough to keep her fed and not go hungry, and that was not much more.

You can imagine how much it would cost to hire a teacher just for her.

What's more, what the Master teaches is useless stuff, he only teaches the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

The most important thing is, how many people in this world have the ability to teach her, to teach her how to be an empress.

Yun Youde thought his daughter was worried about him and looked at her lovingly, "Okay, Dad will listen to Meimei."

But he was thinking that he would make more farm tools in the future and use the money from selling them to hire a teacher for his daughter.

He tries his best to let his daughter have what others have.

……

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Yun Zhi was holding a wooden sword and happened to see Yun Youde dismantling a bamboo stool in the yard.

"It's Meimei. She's gone to practice martial arts again."

Yun Zhi nodded, walked to his side and squatted down with the sword in her arms.

Yun's father and Lin's mother are both the same kind of people, they tend to spoil their children.

When Yun Zhi was three years old, she was discovered by Yun Youde while practicing with a branch.

If it were an ordinary father, he would definitely think that his daughter should be more quiet, but Yun's father did not think so.

He thought this was a good idea, as it could both exercise the body and protect himself.

This way no one can bully my daughter anymore.

So he carved this wooden sword for Yun Zhi based on other people's swords.

Yun Jingxian saw it later and made another one for him while making a fuss.

"Dad, why did you take apart this nice stool?"

Yun Zhi watched Yun Youde dismantle the newly bought stool bit by bit.

"Dad, take this apart and see how it's made. Once you learn how, our family can sell this, too."

During this period, the blacksmith shop's business entered a slow period, so Yun Youde took the time to do this.

Then I saw Father Yun quickly dismantle the bamboo stool, think for a moment, and then quickly put it back together again.

Looking at Yun Zhi who was squatting, Yun Youde handed the restored stool to Yun Zhi to sit on.

"Is Dad awesome?"

Yun Zhi nodded thoughtfully and touched the bracelet on her hand.

There are two small bells on this bracelet, which make crisp sounds when you move.

This style was created when someone gave Yun Youde a blueprint to make it. Yun's father thought it looked good and made another one for Yun Zhi.

"Dad, why haven't you thought about making some weapons, like knives, swords, daggers, etc."

These are much more valuable than the farm tools sold today.

Yun Zhi also discovered that Yun's father had strong abilities in both replication and learning, so that's why he never thought of making weapons.

"Mingmie, weapons aren't that easy to make, unlike this bamboo stool. We don't know what materials these weapons are made of, how hard you need to strike them, or the temperature of the furnace. Daddy wants to learn how to make them, but these things are not passed on to outsiders."

This is indeed the case. Many people's skills are passed on to future generations and will not be easily passed on to others.

The reason why Yun’s father was able to learn this skill smoothly was because his grandfather treated him as his son-in-law.

But Yun Zhi knew what to do.
