Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Yongfu Palace, the Queen's residence, the Emperor, Yeheng, Guibao, Chaiyan, and their three children. The Emperor said, "Let's sit down together as a family. Okay, stay in the palace tonight. I've arranged for someone to clean your palace every day, and it's always ready for you to move in."

Ye Heng: "Okay." He sent someone to inform the Chai Mansion that the guards had gone back. Only a few secret guards remained.

Guibao: "Uncle, are you still leaving?" Ye Heng: "Well, the children are too young, and Guoguo can't take care of them all. They will all come back during the Chinese New Year next year. By then, the three little ones will be able to walk, and it will be more convenient for them to take care of them!"

Guibao wondered, do they still need someone to look after the children? Ye Heng said, "I don't trust anyone. My family is taking care of the children."

Guibao: "I see." The Queen smiled and said, "It's better to raise the child yourself. You will know what the child is like." Yan'er: "Yes. Mother is right." Yan'er smiled like a loving mother. Guibao looked at Chai Yan and thought to himself, you are still a child!

Emperor: "When are you leaving?" Ye Heng: "Arrange the affairs of the court this year. We will discuss it in the study in two days!" Emperor: "Yes. Okay, enjoy your life in these two days!" Ye Heng smiled, "Yes. I will go back to sleep." "Yes, go ahead."

After Ye Heng left, Guibao said, "The emperor's uncle smiles more!" The emperor said, "Well, I can see that he is in a better mood!" Guibao said, "The Great Yan Kingdom is a big family. Small families are easy to deal with, but big families are difficult to manage!" The emperor looked at his son, "Yes, Guibao is right. The people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are related to the country's destiny. Just do your best." "Yes, my son knows. The people are much better off now.

Many places have established shelters, caring for orphans. Guoguo built them all, and hired teachers to teach them how to read and cultivate the land. The emperor said, "You can help out." "Yes, I'm gradually increasing the intensity of the effort. I'm having the government run shelters instead, caring for local orphans and other homeless people."

The emperor nodded, "Well, this idea is good and worth promoting." Guibao: "Well, I will implement it in the county I go to! Let's do an experiment first." The emperor saw that his son's thinking was much more mature, so he said: "Guibao! When will you sit on the dragon throne and let father and your mother enjoy a good life!" Guibao heard it, "Father, you are not old yet! Do you want to be an old man!" The emperor: "What are you talking about, your father is still young!" Guibao said: "That's it. I'll see the children, and I have to go out to inspect military affairs. The emperor's uncle gave me all the military power. How can I not care about the soldiers of Dayan, or does father want to give it to someone else!" The emperor said, "Okay, you make sense. Father will work for a few more years." Guibao also took this opportunity to say: "Well, when my son is a few years older, father will train him well, and he will take over from you. My son will manage the army, protect the country of Dayan, and be a general!" The emperor was dumbfounded! "You, you, what are you talking about? You don't want to be the emperor?" Guibao looked at his father and said, "Well, even though I've learned a lot, I still don't want to sit in that chair! It's uncomfortable."

The emperor looked at Lucy and then at Guibao. He didn't know what to do! Lucy felt sorry for her son and said, "It's good this way. When the youngest son grows up, he won't have to compete with his brother for the throne. Let Ruirui grow up and inherit the throne!" The emperor said cautiously, "This is a big deal. I can't make the decision alone. Let's discuss it with your uncle." Guibao pursed his lips and said, "No hurry." The emperor glared at him. Guibao had been living outside since he was a child and didn't want to be bound by the palace walls. He also wanted to build a mansion outside the palace. Thinking that the palace was so big and there were only his father and mother, there were not many people, he didn't say to live in the palace for the time being.

Later, Guibao told Ye Heng about this. Ye Heng said, "You don't have to be the emperor, but you have to manage the army well and make preparations for your retreat." Guibao said, "My nephew knows that our Great Yan Nation needs our joint protection." Ye Heng said, "As long as you are happy. Make your own decision! I, the Imperial Uncle, will support you in everything you do!" Guibao stood up and saluted. "Thank you, the Imperial Uncle, for your help!" Ye Heng said, "Okay. Then I'll do the work behind the scenes." Guibao continued, "I've been managing a local county for two years. It's always better to work at the bottom. My hard work pays off, and I'm happy that the people are well-off." Ye Heng said nothing. Local and national management are far inferior.

On the fourth night of the Lunar New Year, Heng discussed the national plan for the year with the Emperor and Guibao in the Imperial Study. He also summoned several ministers to discuss state affairs. The plan was roughly as follows: First, spring planting arrangements. Second, local government offices and county yamen would establish orphanages and shelters for orphans and orphans. They would be helped to cultivate land of any size. No harm would be done to children or the elderly. Third, there would be vigorous training for soldiers—the army and navy. Fourth, support would be provided to merchants, and tax reductions would be provided. Fifth, reservoir construction and canal construction would continue the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, with exiled prisoners sent there for oversight and rehabilitation. There were also several confidential missions, few of which were known.

It is confirmed that civil and military examinations will be held every year to recruit talents. Enrollment is open to the people of the world!

The meeting lasted until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the tasks for the year were finally finalized. Six ministries drafted plans. The Imperial Academy copied them, and the Emperor issued a final decree, announcing them to the entire nation. The imperial edict was posted throughout the capital.

The Ministry of Revenue had the most work to do, and all the tasks for the year were drafted in the first month. Last year, over a hundred new candidates were assigned to this department to help with the work.

Ye Heng recommended Ma Yuru to the Ministry of Revenue. Yan Jiye said, "Great! The fourth-place finisher in the new class. Great, great." Ye Heng glanced at him and said, "Write down her name for now. I've arranged for her to gain experience elsewhere first. She'll come back in a few years and be your assistant!" Yan Jiye said, "Great, great. I've seen that girl before. She's never nervous in the court. She answers the emperor's questions seriously and rigorously. She's a talent!"

Ye Heng went on to say, "The Chai Mansion's warehouse has plenty of grain seeds, including cotton, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. You should find someone to take them away." The Minister of Revenue was delighted upon hearing this. "Okay, I'll arrange for their delivery to various locations as soon as possible." Ye Heng replied, "The cotton will be stored in the fall. The Ministry of Revenue should keep enough for their own use. The rest should be collected by the Ministry of Revenue. If you don't, I'll arrange for my men to collect it." Yan Jiye hurriedly said, "We'll collect them all. You and I will." Ye Heng replied, "Yes, all right. Cotton is a good thing, with so many uses."

After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Ye Heng saw that all the important matters were almost arranged, so he said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the present.
