"Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato from heaven, fragrant, sweet and soft—"

"Fried potatoes, no crisp, no money-"

"Boiled corn, who wants fresh boiled corn? Boiled corn—"

……

It's a former county of people rubbing shoulders with different people, occasionally mixed with other hair colors, and the shops are full of dazzling shops and shouting one after another.

The roads are wide and clean, there are culverts and sewers on the side of the road, there are two public toilets on each street, and there are free boiling water points.

The pedestrians on the road wore cotton clothes made of blue fabric, or carried a package or a blanket on their shoulders, or led a cow and a horse, or walked slowly, in the neat and bright Xinxi County, which was like a heavenly palace.

In addition to all kinds of goods from the north, south, east and west, there are now 20 commercial streets in the whole county, eight of which are pure snack streets, and everyone who comes to this place through the wharf is attracted to taste all kinds of delicacies before buying and buying.

As the smallest capital in history, the city wall of Xixian County is more of a landmark than a protective cover, with tourists and vendors on top of the city walls and roadside stalls below the walls.

A large area of land outside the city is now being developed, and the place where the lotus flowers were originally planted is now built with seven or eight storey cement buildings, and Pei Designer is still dissatisfied, and even proposed to build a cement building as high as 20 stories within three years.

Now the land of the whole country has been rented by Her Majesty the Empress alone, and then leased out again in her personal name, leased to farmers specializing in planting, the landlords who had been keeping an eye on the land have all invested their assets in the new business, and some landowners who are in other places have even sold the land directly to the Empress in order to move into the fifth ring road of the former county, and settled in the former county happily after getting a generous demolition payment.

In less than two years, thirty percent of the land in the world has been changed from pigs to sold, and it has been returned to Her Majesty the Empress alone.

Her Majesty the Empress has not made any major moves since she ascended the throne, and even the operation of the court is exactly the same as that of the previous dynasty, so this has given the entire Manchu Dynasty great confidence in the civil and military - it is just a woman who is extremely favored by His Majesty the former Emperor, and she can board the plane because of the huge soldiers and horses in her husband's hands.

The empress herself doesn't care what the people below think of her, and she still opens up all kinds of new businesses every day, but she just audits every once in a while.

At present, the political affairs in the court are still in the hands of the old forces on the surface, but in fact, based on the land, layer by layer, the centripetal force of the whole world is quietly changing - for example, the empress's servant who collects land rent is almost as popular as the county lord.

When some families who happened to encounter disasters and had no income, when they had no way to ask for help, it was the empress who sent servants to announce that the rent would be exempted for the year, and even give disaster subsidies - much more vigorous than the parents, so it was clear who had the greatest prestige.

Because the rules of the imperial court have not changed, and even the imperial examinations are held as normal, so all the scholarly class is paralyzed.

It was not until the third year that Her Majesty the Empress suddenly announced the reform of the imperial examinations, and made it clear that those who scored less than 90 in mathematics were not allowed to participate in public service, so as not to bring losses to her group.

The new imperial examination system has set off a big wave of exaggeration among the upper-class scholars and doctors, and the original complacency has turned into a thunderstorm, and all those who have studied Confucianism for ten years are dumbfounded, and there are not a few people who have hit the wall for this.

In response to this drastic imperial examination measure, half of the officials in the imperial court began to say that they were ill and could not go to the court.

At this time, the effect of Her Majesty's early years in popularizing cultural knowledge in the former county was revealed—her personal maids, various female stewards, and even female students who had just graduated from high school were quickly placed in various departments of the imperial court, replacing those sick ghosts who only ate and did not work.

Overnight, all six ministries were set aside, the prime minister became an ornament, and the old scholars and doctors were all emperors, and at this time, they found that they had no power to fight at all.

If they refuse to go to work, then someone will replace them, and Her Majesty will not lack talent under her command.

Unlike the grief and indignation of the scholars, the people praised the new system of scientific examinations, which meant that everyone had the opportunity to serve as a servant of Her Majesty.

After all the major posts had become her own people, Her Majesty finally bared her fangs to the old scholars, and vigorously and resolutely took all the misbehaps, dogs, and people who scavenged the people's fat and ointment, and confiscated all the land in their hands, and even after this incident, the amount of land in the whole world increased by one-third on paper!

Under the strong support of soldiers and horses and the unity of the people, the feudal scholars and doctors withdrew from the stage in discouragement, had to accept the new imperial examination system, and even began to swallow their anger and want to integrate into the new system.

"Have you heard, our female prime minister is only fifteen years old this year?!"

"You heard it right, people entered the audit when they were ten years old, and they are out-and-out prodigies."

"That means that as long as it's a prodigy, it doesn't matter if it's a male or female?"

"Her Majesty the Empress respects all women, and you don't even have this knowledge?"

"That's great, I happen to have two daughters at home!"

"Do you have it at home? I have one at home too! ”

"Woo woo, don't talk about it, I don't have any in my family!"

……

In addition to the miraculous potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, new crops are constantly emerging in the land blessed by the gods in Xixian County.

For example, the bubble mushroom, which can spray a protective shield to protect people, can protect the elderly and weak women from powerful gangsters.

There is also the Roc, which can fly high in the sky and carry up to ten passengers.

and the iron bull that gallops thousands of miles on land in an instant.

……

New things are emerging all the time.

New merchants are coming from all over the world every day.

The new policy is being implemented in an orderly manner every day.

New hope is being born every minute and every second.

"I thought I had a good enough time yesterday, but I didn't expect that today would be more nourishing than yesterday!" Ah Xing, who had already gained weight three times, said to Xiao Sun who was skewering beside him, "You keep some stomach, I heard that our majesty traded something called a spirit beast from the cultivation realm, don't you want to eat roast spirit beast meat?" ”

Xiao Sun didn't get fat, but he didn't have an image at all, shopping with friends was like being hungry for three days with a hungry ghost, and he had to taste any novelty he saw.

"Yes! I heard that it was a good thing from the fairy world! I'm just going to die, and I'm going to take a bite before I die! ”
