The Female Supporting Character is Obsessed with Science

Chapter 56-The World of the Empress

"Have you heard the story of Meng Lijun?"

After coming out of Zhuang Yitong's boudoir, Shu Shulan, who was silent all the way, drank two pots of rice wine in the elegant room of the restaurant, and suddenly said such a sentence to the empress.

Before the female emperor could answer, she told a story on her own: In order to clean up the crimes that had been condemned to her relatives and beloved family, Meng Lijun disguised herself as a man and changed her name to participate in the imperial examination. The lover is an official in the same dynasty.

In the end, she was unwilling to change her identity, but because she was drunk and accidentally exposed, she vomited blood, and was forced into the harem as a concubine by the emperor who learned of her daughter's body.

When Shu Shulan talked about this, she paused. She picked up the jug again and swallowed a jug of liquor along the slender spout.

"and after?"

The empress did not stop her from venting, but listened to the story quietly and responded in a timely manner.

"Later..." She opened a pair of drunken eyes, "Later, Meng Lijun wrote a letter to express her hardship, admitted her identity, and was named a princess by the queen dowager to marry her sweetheart. In the end, the three beauties and one husband were the same. This is how the story ended."

After a moment of silence, the female emperor said: "This ending and the previous story seem to be separated."

"Because the original author of this script, when he wrote that Meng Lijun was forced into the palace, he gave up his pen, and the ending later was written by posterity."

"That's it."

The female emperor looked at the other party boredly and took a glass of wine and drank it, even if it is a low-degree rice wine, it will be drunk after drinking it.

"Women have not been easy since ancient times, whether they are in the book or outsiders."

Struggle is always difficult, and facing the invisible shackles of the entire society, it is too difficult to change the patriarchal society that has been thousands of years old.

When she reached the position of the empress, when she was about to deal with the rebellious feudal king, some people asked her to open up the Internet under the banner of preserving the orthodox bloodline of the Yan family, not to mention ordinary people.

Even some women who have entered women's school are only gilded in the eyes of their families, so that they can better marry women. They have their own ambitions, but they are trapped in the back house.

Although women under the protection of the law can enter the court as officials, and others cannot stop them, not everyone has enlightened parents, and not everyone has the courage to fall out with their family to participate in the imperial examination.

I have worked hard for many years from the previous female emperor to the present, although the status of women has improved a lot.

But it is not stable.

If after her death, the people who came to the stage frantically suppressed women, the efforts of these decades would disappear like a mirrored flower, and even the situation of women would be even more miserable.

Both people in the house know this.

Shu Shulan didn't speak, Ning Su sighed and turned his attention to the story of Fangcai, breaking the stagnant air: "This story should not be the most recent, otherwise, why bother to pretend to be a man."

Before they finished their words, both of them remembered the scene when they first met. Shu Shulan changed her face to look like a boy, so the female emperor shook her head and changed her words: "If it's the script now, I'm afraid we can hear this in Liyuan soon. Folding show."

"I saw it on the ancient books I found."

After being drunk by the words of the empress, Shu Shulan weaves lies, "I don't know which dynasty and which generation of the script, the paper is old and yellowed, and the author's life is recorded at the back of the book, but no one knows it. Not widely spread."

The Empress didn’t ask the bottom line. It seems that her previous remarks were casual mentions. She just smiled: "This time the story, the last time'The mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan', I have never heard of you. It's really extensive."

Shu Shulan was sweating on her back, and she began to reflect on whether she was a little overwhelmed and forgot to be cautious.

The history of this world is not the same as the world she lives in. She travels to a dynasty that does not exist, but forgets that there may be discrepancies in the allusions of this world.

This time, the empress didn't doubt it. If next time, she blurted out some non-existent allusions, then it might not be so easy to get out.

And there were more than just these two flaws. She looked back and thought about it. She was too impatient. There were already many loopholes along the way.

The first thing I said was the method of making those objects from the book, but the subsequent uninterrupted inventions, especially the steam engine, are different from other things, and they have never aroused suspicion. This is incredible.

She reflects on her actions, and the more she thinks about it, the more she sweats. If it weren’t for the empress who hadn’t doubted her all the time, she suppressed all impeachment; if it’s not for the benefits she brings more than the harm, her reputation among the people will probably be It's a witch.

How can no one see such many flaws?

Shu Shulan reflected on her behavior and decided to be more careful in her future behavior.

After the thoughtful Shu Shulan bid farewell to the empress, she soon returned to the mansion to adjust her next plan.

[Host, are you reminding her?

]

"The world doesn't care about the process being pulled up to ten times faster, but I don't want to see the collapse of the country while I'm still alive."

Now the impact on this society has been enough.

People's lives are getting better and better. Lower taxes and higher agricultural output have allowed most people to eat and have surplus food at home, and there are more and more wine shops in the city.

And commerce is gradually prospering with the support. Some bold people went to sea trade after the sea ban, bringing the spices, silk, tea and porcelain of the Yun Dynasty to all over the world.

The other artisans in the Qizhen Pavilion do not eat rice. Although they can't make Shu Shulan's things, they can still make more time-saving and labor-saving farm tools, textile tools, transportation tools, and so on.

Under the temptation of rewards, things in agriculture, handicrafts, and even industry are constantly being updated.

What's good at the top, the bottom must be effective.

The female emperor prefers strange skills and ingenuity, so more people will study these things.

The most important thing is that Shu Shulan created the steam engine. Although it is still an orphan now, the machine that can be made by the gourd painting dipper is much inferior to that made by Shu Shulan, but despite this, some people still taste the sweetness here.

There were even folk skilled craftsmen who made modifications to the steam engine. After hearing the news, Shu Shulan's face was in a trance.

Nowadays, the original slow development of things is like pressing the fast forward button. After the steam engine is built, this development has nothing to do with Shu Shulan's wishes.

However, the economic prosperity as she had imagined brought out the ideological frustration. The newspaper remarks compiled by Shu Shulan were too advanced for the Yun Dynasty, so as to be like a fantasy, and the current mainstream fashion denounces it as a crooked doctrine.

Shu Shulan discovered her mistake after the dialogue with the Empress. She did not use the mature thoughts of later generations to fight against the mainstream of this era, but promoted the rapid development of productivity and the emergence of those theories to mature.

This will be a very long process.

Shu Shulan, who had curtailed her irritability, still tried to influence the world, but she would no longer feel anxious because of no progress for a while.

At this moment, Yunchao received news of a visit by foreign envoys.

The Ministry of Etiquette discussed for a long time before deciding on the scale of reception.

The envoy on the ship came from a distant country. They had never heard of the country's name. The blond and blue-eyed envoy looked very different from the people of the Yun Dynasty, but was very similar to some missionaries, and attracted a lot of attention along the way.

The envoy who called himself "James" did not understand the language of the Yun Dynasty, so he had to find a missionary who had lived in the Yun Dynasty for many years as an interpreter.

He was very curious about the scenery of the Yun Dynasty along the way, especially admiring the cement on the ground. The ground in their country was not so smooth, which made the officials of the Yun Dynasty very proud.

When James saw the Empress, he opened his mouth with a long list of compliments, praising the status quo of the Yun Dynasty.

He did well to the emperor as a woman, after all, according to him, their country is also ruled by the queen.

In his mouth, he learned about this ancient country in the book, a person who had been here in the previous dynasty, described this land as prosperous, prosperous, and civilized.

However, when he really arrived at the Yun Dynasty, he discovered that the real situation was nothing less than what was written in the book.

The envoy brought some gifts for the visit, told Yunchao about the customs of their country, participated in the banquet held, and the whole meeting was very pleasant.

On the eve of James returning home with Yunchao specialties, he saw the steam engine invented by Shu Shulan. He wanted to use this official who could shock foreign envoys. He didn’t expect that, the other party laughed and said a long list, the missionary translated:" This is exactly the same as the steam engine being used in their country."

The other party also said that they have been using it for a while, and Yunchao's usage is too one-sided, and there are more uses for such a machine.

After hearing these words, Shu Shulan wrote a letter the next morning requesting the Empress to send envoys to James’ country to collect their country’s machinery and learn about the other’s civilization.

The officials who held themselves as the celestial kingdoms could not understand her actions. They felt that there was no need to understand the news of the barbarians; while Shu Shulan used visits to the other country to show the demeanor of a great power to persuade each other.

In the end, the Empress made the final decision and decided to send a fleet to sea to follow James to their country in the name of exchange visits.

This incident also made the Yun Dynasty begin to pay attention to foreign exchanges, hoping to reproduce the scenery of the flourishing age that had come from all over the world.

However, Shu Shulan was not as optimistic as the others. She recalled the sufferings of her country, but felt that something was catching up behind her, creating a sense of urgency.

Western civilization has begun to develop rapidly. She is content to stimulate the progress of society. In fact, she just started to catch up with the other side. If she stands still, then the painful history that once happened to her motherland will reappear.

Perceiving the abnormality of the heroine, Ning Su deliberately found the other party to advise: "You don't have to push yourself too tight. The bowstring that is full for a long time will easily break."

Shu Shulan smiled bitterly, she understood that she actually knew what she should do, and she also understood that the current Yunchao was developing towards a good side. With her push, she would not fall behind, but she still couldn't feel at ease.

And she found at this time that if she wanted to complete her plan and subvert the court, the existence of the empress would be the biggest obstacle.

The better the people's lives, the more grateful the female emperor's leadership is. The whole world is full of praise.

The military power was in her hands, and countless people in the court were promoted by her. They were loyal, loyal and patriotic when they met the Ming Master. The monarchy was highly concentrated and very stable.

Shu Shulan understood that if the empress did not die, there would be no change in the system of this country.

However, if the empress dies, everything she does will be in vain. The struggle for rights and changes will destroy the development of society. This is a dilemma.

However, in this case, the Empress suddenly announced the decision to reorganize the court.

Select officials to form a cabinet, and after all matters are handled by the cabinet, the results are presented to her.

The officials were in an uproar, but no one could stop the female emperor. The cabinet was quickly formed, and Ye Yuqi became the chief assistant of the cabinet. After he got started, he realized that it was no different from before. The female emperor also gave him these government affairs , But now it’s time to come.

So the cabinet system was implemented steadily.

Although I don't know why the empress did this, Shu Shulan knew that this was her opportunity.

She remembered that there was a dynasty in her country, and the ruler of that dynasty had not even appeared for decades, and there was no trouble in the country.

If this development continues, perhaps one day I can achieve my goal peacefully.

She was still unwilling to confront this tolerant monarch with swords.
