The Prosperous Yanhuang Empire, Emperor Ye Wants to Quit

Upon the Dragon Throne, Ye Chen watched the changes before him, his expression unchanging.

Clearly, he had known about these effects for a long time.

After the Longevity Elixir was created, Ye Chen's first reward went to Long Yu, the current leader of the Brocade-Clad Guard.

As his most loyal personal guard, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't favor one over the other.

Time flowed, and twenty years passed in a flash, arriving at Yanhuang Calendar 144.

In these twenty years, the Yanhuang Empire had become increasingly prosperous.

The Imperial Capital was the center of the entire empire, incomparably bustling.

Standing on the city walls of the Imperial Palace, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in simple black silk robes, his gaze fixed on the bustling Imperial Capital below, silently.

"This is the empire I built with my own hands, a golden age.

Now that the world is at peace, the people are content, and the education system is complete, after twenty years, the empire's talent pool is sufficient. Next, it's time to begin the first industrial revolution."

As his voice fell, Ye Chen's gaze pierced through the endless Void, crossed the sea, as if seeing that land of China.

According to the fleets he had sent out over the years, some had successfully reached the opposite shore, the land of China.

According to the news that had been sent back, China at this moment should be in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. It wouldn't be long before the Ming Dynasty was gone.

According to the historical process, the Qing Dynasty would be next. He planned to wait until the empire completed the industrial revolution before crossing the sea to China.

At that time, he planned to personally destroy the Ming Dynasty, or destroy the Qing Dynasty, and then integrate China into the Yanhuang Empire, and then begin to sweep the entire world.

This could be seen from the fact that he named the empire the Yanhuang Empire, revealing his ambition.

Although he knew that there were remnants of the forces of the Deno Star System in China, he was not worried that those people would hinder him.

Because the other party, due to the existence of the Angels, simply did not dare to interfere with the change of dynasties among mortals.

In this regard, it could be said that the justice order of the Angel civilization was good, at least it was very friendly to civilizations like Earth that could not even step into the stars.

The justice order was like a double-edged sword, very beneficial to low-level civilizations, so they didn't have to worry about being strangled in the cradle when they were weak, but for powerful civilizations, it was a shackle.

It tightly locked the advancement of higher civilizations, and in the end, the higher civilizations of the entire universe, especially madmen like Karl who liked to cause trouble, were even more so, and this was the real reason for the collapse of the justice order in the future.

The first grand court meeting after the New Year.

Star Palace.

"Bow!!"

"Greetings, Emperor."

"Shout 'Long Live'!!"

"Rise!!"

"Thank you, Emperor."

After the formalities were completed, the court session officially began.

Ye Chen looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "My esteemed ministers, now that the Yanhuang Empire is stable and the world is unified, in this region, apart from some remaining tribes in the deep mountains, the rest is under the Yanhuang Empire's control.

At the same time, it has been more than twenty years since the complete establishment of the education system. Now the illiteracy rate in the empire has been greatly reduced, and the number of talents within the empire is increasing..."

"Although the empire is now prosperous, the people are stable, and the national strength of the entire empire has reached its peak, I tell you, the current empire is far from strong enough. The current peak is just a beginning in my eyes."

Listening to Ye Chen's voice, the ministers below couldn't help but show a sense of pride and shared glory on their faces.

But after hearing Ye Chen's later words, they couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that such a powerful empire now was still far from strong enough in Ye Chen's eyes, and it was just a beginning.

Thinking of this, everyone looked up at Ye Chen at the head, waiting for his next words to point them in the direction.

"Minister Zhao."

"Your subject is here."

"Next, the empire will undergo earth-shattering changes. Have the things I asked your Imperial Academy of Sciences to research ten years ago been completed?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked majestically at Zhao Ximing, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences below.

Since the complete establishment of the education system, with the emergence of the first batch of graduates, Ye Chen selected a large number of talents from them to enter the Imperial Academy of Sciences, forming a basic team of researchers, and began to build an industrial system.

This is to lay the foundation for the future development of the industrial revolution.

Over the years, the content in the books of the empire's education system has been modern information that Ye Chen purchased from the system with Civilization Points, and then rewritten according to the situation of the Yanhuang Empire at that time.

Therefore, the first batch of intellectuals in the empire were all Ye Chen's students, truly the emperor's disciples.

The first batch of students were the seeds of the Yanhuang Empire, and after a hundred years.

One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. After decades of time, it has spread to the entire territory of the empire, making the empire's illiteracy rate lower year by year.

After Zhao Ximing heard Ye Chen's words, he immediately said loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, after ten years, through the information given by Your Majesty, we have researched a complete construction plan.

Now the empire's first railway and the first train are about to be completed."

That's right, Ye Chen planned to start the industrial system from transportation. If the empire wants to develop rapidly, transportation is essential.

As for why he clearly has a system, but does not spend some Civilization Points to exchange finished products from the system for the people of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to study.

There are two reasons.

One is that he is very poor. As the empire develops towards the industrial age, there are many things and technical materials that need to be exchanged in the future, and his current Civilization Points are not enough.

Also, he wants to save money to exchange for the information of the great weapon that can trấn the country.

The second is that the empire is now at a node of transition to an industrial system, and cultivating the empire's scientific research foundation is the most important thing. There is no need to force growth.

Haste makes waste. Sometimes forcing growth has temporary benefits, but it can cause harm for ten thousand years.

Because in this way, the people of the empire will become too dependent on him, and at the same time, it will imprison the empire's creativity and imprison the scientific research thinking of talents, which can be said to be harmful without any benefit.

Therefore, Ye Chen exchanged a large amount of basic scientific research materials and research materials, so that the people of the Imperial Academy of Sciences could study, think, and think about how to do this thing, how to complete it, so as to cultivate their scientific research thinking and creativity.

In this way, with generations of scientific researchers rushing forward, there will be more and more scientific research talents in the future, and scientific research thinking will become more and more prosperous.

Next, in addition to the railway transportation problem, the Yanhuang Empire would also need to lay cement roads on a large scale within the empire to increase transportation efficiency.

Although cement roads had long existed in the empire, they were only laid between major cities. As for why they weren't laid on a larger scale, the main reason was that the empire was short of money.

Poor, poor, poor!!

Since its establishment, the word "poor" had permeated the entire Yanhuang Empire. Sometimes Ye Chen wished he could split a penny into ten pieces to spend.

After the empire was established, Ye Chen devoted his energy to education, and also to how to increase the empire's population and ensure the people's food and housing.

After all, a country's population is the most important thing. Without a sufficient population, wanting to develop is simply a joke.

According to statistics, the Yanhuang Empire now has 23 million people.

From less than a million people at the beginning to tens of millions now, Ye Chen worked himself to the point of vomiting blood every day to support so many people, handling various imperial affairs until late at night, single-mindedly thinking about how to keep these people alive.

At the same time, he also had to personally train officials and civilize the local natives.

It could be said that if he didn't have the super self-healing ability given to him by the system, he would probably have died suddenly.

Now he just wanted to say that being an Emperor was really tiring, and he really wanted to quit.

But unfortunately, as the empire became more and more prosperous under his leadership, the livelihoods of tens of millions of people were all tied to him alone. Every time he had the idea of quitting, he felt a huge responsibility.

Or rather, he was reluctant.

After all, he had been tired for almost decades. If he gave up now, wouldn't all the previous hard work be in vain?

So he persevered little by little, and after a hundred years, he no longer had the idea of quitting.

Because he was used to being tired, or rather, he had unconsciously become a qualified Emperor.
