It's Easier to Turn a Small Boat Around, Haste Makes Waste

Standing in the Qiankun Hall, Ye Chen quietly felt this loneliness.

At the same time, he was carefully experiencing this loneliness.

Because this kind of loneliness is addictive.

To be honest, sometimes he wondered if he had made a mistake in this step.

Or rather, is this the life he wants now?

Originally, he just wanted to complete the system's task and build his own civilization.

Then, as soon as possible, upgrade the civilization to level two or above and develop technologies that can increase lifespan.

And then accumulate Civilization Points and exchange them from the system for powerful genetic technologies to become a god.

But the ideal was beautiful, but reality was not as desired.

When he first started building civilization, due to the environment and the actual situation, he had no choice but to establish an empire.

Finally, looking back, he was unknowingly pushed to this position by the general trend.

And little by little, he was forced by the general trend to learn how to govern a country well, how to ensure that his people were well-fed and clothed.

And, what it means to be a qualified Emperor.

He now feels that the path he is taking is somewhat deviated from the development direction he originally envisioned.

Moreover, he feels that being an Emperor is so tiring, especially being a good Emperor is even more tiring.

But as time went on, he actually enjoyed it.

He felt that he might have some kind of disease, um, he had "the disease of being an Emperor is so tiring but also enjoying it."

Similar to what "life abuses me a thousand times, and I treat life like my first love."

In modern terms, it is "Stockholm Syndrome", should, probably, maybe it is this disease? His thoughts slowly diverged, and all kinds of messy thoughts filled his mind.

Shaking his head, throwing out these complicated thoughts, Ye Chen leaned over the table, his mind thinking of various technical points in his memory, basically recording whatever he thought of on paper.

If he really couldn't think of anything, he would spend Civilization Points to exchange it from the system.

Today, the development of the entire Yanhuang Empire over the past century can be said to have been accumulated by him bit by bit.

Although he used to be a top student, it doesn't mean he can remember everything, and he needs to slowly recall many things himself.

And the Yanhuang Civilization System, in the past hundred years, has not been of much help to him, because since the Yanhuang Civilization System was bound to the Yanhuang Empire, if he wanted to obtain technological data or other technological products, he needed to use Civilization Points to exchange them from the system store.

And Civilization Points are obtained based on the development of the Yanhuang civilization, which means that the stronger the Yanhuang Empire, the more Civilization Points he obtains.

In these hundred years, the development speed of the Yanhuang Empire he created has not been very fast. Of course, this is also related to his deliberate control of the development speed of the Yanhuang Empire.

Haste makes waste. He finally got to this point and created the Yanhuang Empire. This will be his base in the future. He will not force growth for temporary gains and losses.

Of course, the core is that his lifespan is long enough to endure.

Forcibly promoting the growth of the Yanhuang Empire will only leave greater hidden dangers in the future.

It is difficult for a large ship to turn around. Compared with solving hidden dangers after the empire becomes strong, it is better to eliminate the hidden dangers at the beginning.

In his vision, he would lay a solid foundation, gradually eliminate the old natives, and focus on developing the population, then establish a complete education system to popularize knowledge.

Finally, after the first batch of students graduated, he could start developing industrial technology. In this way, the entire social system could be slowly revitalized, allowing it to develop in the right direction.

Yanhuang Calendar, year 124.

Within the Yanhuang Empire, after decades of effort, the education system was finally completed.

And as the first few batches of graduates were distributed to teaching positions across the country, a massive national education campaign was launched.

At the same time, officials from various provinces were stationed in every city to protect national education.

Secretly, Ye Chen ordered Long Yu to establish the Brocade-Clad Guard organization to monitor the entire country. Once any official was found to be undermining the education system or failing to act, they could be executed first and reported later.

After several "chickens" were severely punished, the existence of the Brocade-Clad Guard gradually shifted from the shadows to the surface, becoming a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all officials in the country, ready to strike at any time.

For a time, all officials across the country trembled, and the power of the Brocade-Clad Guard organization reached its peak.

And it would not decline in the future, because behind the Brocade-Clad Guard stood Ye Chen, the Emperor, and Ye Chen would never die.

As long as Ye Chen lived, the Yanhuang Empire would not be in chaos.

As long as Ye Chen did not weaken the power of the Brocade-Clad Guard, then the power of the Brocade-Clad Guard would not decrease.

Now, with the passing of generations of old people, and with the empire being established for more than a hundred years, Ye Chen's brainwashing of generations of newborns in the empire meant that the entire Yanhuang Empire could be said to be Ye Chen's one-voice hall.

Everyone took pride in the empire, and everyone regarded Ye Chen as the only true god.

Just like among the Angels, all the new generations blindly believed in Kesha and were willing to die for Kesha.

Star Palace, court meeting.

Ye Chen, wearing a black Star Robe, a Twelve-Pearl Crown on his head, and holding the Crimson Firmament Sword (formerly the Flame Sword), sat firmly on the Emperor's throne, overlooking the civil and military officials.

Yuan Long beside him said, "Bow!"

"Greetings, Emperor."

Watching everyone bow down, Yuan Long spoke again, "Shout!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Shout again!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

After the court etiquette was completed, Ye Chen looked down at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Rise!"

"Thank you, Emperor!"

After completing the necessary procedures, the ministers sat down in their respective positions.

Civil and military officials sat on both sides, with a wide aisle in the middle.
