But Ji Yunshuang's ambitions go far beyond this.

Besides the tremendous changes in Qiongdu, there is also the newly planned workshop park. The new workshops have now been built.

There are food processing workshops, as well as workshops making handicrafts, perfumes, and balms. Every product from these workshops is eye-catching.

But to the officials, these workshops were just small-scale operations. What shocked everyone the most was the cement workshop that Ji Yunshuang had set up.

The advent of cement can be said to have greatly changed the world.

In the past, when the government built city walls, they often used a mixture of glutinous rice and clay to make the walls more sturdy.

While mixing glutinous rice with clay could reinforce city walls, the cost of using glutinous rice was prohibitively high. Except for extremely important buildings, glutinous rice was generally not used in construction.

But cement is different; cement costs much less than glutinous rice. Moreover, in addition to building houses, cement can also be used to repair roads.

The roads in Qiongdu and the surrounding area are now all paved with cement.

In the past, no matter whether you were a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, if you went out on a rainy day, you would inevitably end up walking through mud.

But things are different now; the road surface has been paved with cement. Even when it rains, your feet stay clean while walking on it.

Besides the tremendous changes in Qiongdu, the dramatic transformation of Yumushan has also astonished everyone.

In just a few short months, Yumu Mountain has become famous and a place that nobles flock to.

It is said that there are fairy fruit forests and resorts there. The environment is so beautiful that it is like a fairyland.

Moreover, Yumu Mountain is still under construction, and what everyone sees now is still in an unfinished state.

Many officials in Qiongdu were too busy to go to Yumu Mountain in person. But the women in the household could make the trip.

It's not just about broadening one's horizons; astute people understand that business opportunities lie there. Whoever seizes these opportunities first can double their net worth.

……

While the officials genuinely admired Ji Yunshuang, they were also eager to seize this new opportunity to impress her and gain her favor.

They all understood in their hearts that the current Divine Emperor was a completely different emperor from the ones they had served before.

Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Ji Yunshuang's whereabouts have been unpredictable. Many orders are conveyed via carrier pigeons. However, she might suddenly reappear at any time.

In the past, imperial processions required considerable preparation and were slow.

King Jing of Qi never visited many places.

Many decrees were issued, but the people below simply did not follow them, and King Jing of Qi was completely unaware of them.

But Ji Yunshuang is different. In her eyes, there is no such thing as a place being too far away or difficult to go to.

Whether she was going from Jiangzhou to Zhenxiguan, or after arriving in Zhenxiguan she needed to go to Qiongdu, it was just a trivial matter for her to do whenever she wanted.

This has made many officials who wanted to engage in underhanded tactics more cautious.

After all, no one knows when Ji Yunshuang will make her appearance.

Ji Yunshuang's aversion to having bodyguards and her tendency to appear anywhere in Daqi instilled fear in many officials, deterring them from engaging in corruption and bribery. This resulted in Daqi's administration proceeding exceptionally smoothly.

However, many people had their own ideas because of Ji Yunshuang's habit.
