Then he looked at the warriors and watched the ten ships with the names of the Great Dynasty and Simplified Years written on them gradually drifting away, faintly disappearing, until they completely disappeared.

Because General Li Rongli took away nearly half of the good things in the current dynasty, the national treasury that was finally full due to the annual harvest at the end of last year was empty again.

So Jian Yi was poor and free again.

Without money, nothing can be done.

The veteran ministers who had also been idle turned around and took a look, oh, it’s been half a year since they got married, and the emperor’s stomach didn’t react at all. How could this be possible?

So the courtiers sent their wives to persuade the Queen Mother one after another, expressing that the country was in an uncomfortable state without a prince.

Because their daughter is now the Queen, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are reluctant to interfere too much. In addition, there are often grandchildren around, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor accidentally forget about the Queen's belly. They get the support of all the ladies.

After being reminded, he hurriedly took the Emperor back to the palace.

Jian Jian received the news that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had returned to the palace, and hurriedly went over to say hello. After the three of them chatted and the atmosphere became heated, the Queen Mother looked at Jian Yi's face and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you and those in the harem are

Do the concubines get along well with each other?"

Jian Yi smiled and replied: "Thank you, Father, Queen and Mother, for your concern. I think everything is fine."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked again, "What about you, what about you...".

If she had looked carefully at her on the way back, now that she was in front of Jian Yi, the Queen Mother actually felt that she couldn't ask any questions.

The Supreme Emperor on the side couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw that his old wife had not asked her question for a long time, but he was also a little embarrassed to ask this question.

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the two people, Jian Yan suddenly understood what was said in the palace when she occasionally expanded her consciousness to pay attention to the ships on the voyage.

"Father, Queen and Queen, do you want to ask your heir a question?"

"Yeah yeah."

The Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that Jian Yi understood what they wanted to ask, and quickly replied in unison.

Jian Yi chuckled twice and scratched his hair in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, father and mother, I forgot to tell you about this."

When the old couple saw Jian Jian's reaction, their hearts trembled, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Jian Jian: "Father, Emperor and Mother, ever since I wanted to sit in this position, I drank sterilization medicine, and I will never have children in this life.

Sure enough, after listening to the simple answer, the old couple felt complicated and incomprehensible for a while.

They can understand the simple decision. After all, it is more difficult for women than for men. Giving birth is a step into the gate of hell. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant and have children after sitting in that position, it is tantamount to putting the entire country on the line.

Roast on the fire.

After all, this is not the modern era with a lot of medical equipment and surgeries, but the ancient times when health insurance, medical equipment, etc. were very backward.

If the emperor died in bed because of giving birth, wouldn't it be a joke? At that time, the rotten scholars, old-fashioned people, and women in the country will clamor that women should stay at home and have children, so what can they do?

Forced work with men, etc.

Moreover, the emperor dies and the country is leaderless. If a successor cannot be found quickly, the country will fall into civil strife. There is no need for outsiders to invade, and the country will fall apart.

Therefore, after that day, he simply summoned all the ministers and worked out a new succession law with them.

If a woman wants to be an emperor, she must drink sterilization medicine in front of all officials on the day she ascends the throne, regardless of whether she has had children before.

If a child was born earlier, the succession to the throne is chosen by the emperor and five cabinet ministers. There are ten votes in total. The emperor has five votes and other cabinet ministers have one vote.

If there are no children, then ten to twenty children from the clan will be selected to enter the Shangshu Bureau to study and take exams. Then, as usual, the emperor and cabinet ministers will discuss and vote.

Available to both men and women.

This article was simply obtained through more than a month of battles of wits and courage with civil and military officials and suppression by force.

However, because the matter of the heir to the crown prince is related to the rise and fall of the country, the inheritance system was not announced immediately after it was finalized. Instead, it was put aside and taken out from time to time to look at it and think about it to see if there was anything else.

Omitted, or inconsistent with reality.

After two or three years, the inheritance law will be thoroughly studied before it is promulgated.

Glass and cement were also settled at the same time as inheritance law.

The recipe that was briefly given earlier was finally succeeded with the hard work of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. The glass has the appearance of glass, and the effect of cement is also quite good.

The current transparency, light transmittance, noise resistance and durability of glass still need to be improved. Therefore, after simply sending the glass-making team back to continue their research, they began to discuss the promotion and use of cement with the courtiers.

According to a simple idea, it is of course like the Chinese country of later generations, which paved all roads across the country.

However, the country now has no money in its pocket. The remaining money is reserved for disaster relief in times of crisis and cannot be used.

So Chang Yuan Bo's eldest son, the Minister of Civil Affairs, suggested that the large and small official roads from the suburbs of Beijing to the capital should be repaired and paved with cement roads for a trial period. If the effect is good and durable, it can be promoted nationwide.

Jian Jian thought about it and agreed.

The Minister of Household Affairs stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, will we have to collect labor according to the old rules for building the road this time?"

If other emperors had been spared, no one would have asked about such a trivial matter, but judging from the Queen's performance in the past year since she ascended the throne, the Minister of Revenue felt that it was really hard to talk about this matter.

No, the number of households should be revealed to the minister, but the empress would deny it.

After thinking for a while, Jian Jian suddenly thought of the buses of later generations. So could she get a bus ticket based on the operation method of this bus and mix it with the tickets from the 1960s and 1970s?

"I want to start a public transportation department."

Courtiers: "What is the Public Transport Department?"

Simple: "Bus means public transportation."

"That is, the imperial court can send out horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, donkey-carts, flat-carts, etc., to go around the capital in shifts according to a fixed time route every day. If any pedestrian wants to get on the car, he will give the specified amount of money, such as one penny per mile.

, like two cents for two miles."

"Currently, the national treasury is not very full. I am thinking if I can print some tickets, like banknotes, that represent special rides. They are distinguished by the number of people, the number of people, the color, and the distance. For example, the black one-inch ticket says, two miles

Only one person can ride once."

"The imperial court can use this coupon, or make some more grain coupons and cloth coupons as wages. What do you think, dear sirs?"

Simply put, even if there was a heated discussion in the palace, after half a cup of tea, all the courtiers agreed.

So it was time to discuss the details.

Finally, after several days of discussion, everyone decided that the trial location of the cement road would be around Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the city.

The workers conveniently adopted the simple method before, no longer collecting corvee as usual, but hiring workers.

Workers are provided with three meals a day, and specific matters are discussed and decided by the household department themselves. Their wages are based on their work points, and food stamps, train tickets and cloth coupons are issued to them at the end of each month.
