After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Yu Zizhen didn't care what others thought. The person she liked was finally willing to put aside all worries and be with her. Of course she had to seize the opportunity.

This was the only person she had ever had a crush on in her entire life. It was rare that this person also had a crush on her. She was stupid and would hesitate and procrastinate.

Others had complicated thoughts, but Xiao Yuanjin was so shy that he couldn't even lift his head. Only Yu Zizhen was so happy that the smile on his face didn't stop all day long.

After the wedding of Yu Zizhen and Xiao Yuanjin ended, Yu Zizhen began her official path to governing the country.

According to what she had agreed with several important ministers before taking the throne, when Yu Zizhen was in power, he only thought about how to improve people's livelihood.

Light corvee and low taxes are necessary, unreasonable laws must be revised, and land reform is imperative.

In addition, Yu Zizhen also needs to improve the country's education and medical standards, increase the speed of information dissemination, open up trade routes, build water conservancy projects, and introduce favorable policies to promote the development of all walks of life. It is really complicated to say.

In order to speed up the progress, Yu Zizhen decisively assigned some daily tasks to her newly minted emperor (hard) husband (power) Xiao Yuanjin.

As for herself, she is much busier than Xiao Yuanjin. In order to open up business routes, she has been exchanging information with the Xiaonaiyin system one after another these days.

She had to read the exchange information, and after reading it, she had to analyze it with Xiao Naiyin System, trying to select a few relatively safe trade routes so that she could trade with neighboring countries.

Whether this trade is profitable or not is a secondary matter. Yu Zizhen mainly wants to enrich China's crop varieties bit by bit by opening up trade routes.

She wanted to get some of the high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn to cultivate.

There were too many things to do and too few available manpower. Yu Zizhen was so busy every day that he even dreamed of how to better develop agriculture and the economy so that the people could have enough food and clothing and live a relatively stable and happy life.

She is already so busy, not to mention her important ministers.

You know, Yu Zizhen is only responsible for determining the general direction and providing relevant information. The specific planning, execution, supervision, acceptance, feedback and improvement are all the responsibility of her close subordinates.

Everyone is racing against each other more like a spinning top, but some guys who enjoy wealth and wealth and are so leisurely and enviable, yet have no sense and insist on causing trouble for them when they are busy. .

The first person to cause trouble for them was Zhang Meiren, the biological mother of the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu. When Lu Tong launched the palace coup, she was lucky enough not to be in the palace. She was sent to the temple by the then empress Xiao Lu. Pray for the then Queen Mother Dalushi.

When Yu Zizhen left Beijing, the eldest princess did not leave with the private soldiers she sent. Instead, she went to her biological mother Zhang Meiren and watched her stay in the temple honestly to prevent her from causing any trouble with her whims.

Zhang Meiren has a weird personality that bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is very arrogant. She is quite honest in front of the queen, powerful palace officials and even most monks and nuns, but in front of the eldest princess, she is very good at messing around.

Ever since Yu Zizhen returned to Beijing, Zhang Meiren felt like weeds had grown in her heart. She was forcing the eldest princess almost every day, forcing her to make friends with Yu Zizhen and seek benefits. The eldest princess disagreed, and even let people watch her overtly and covertly.

Zhang Meiren was so angry that the mother and daughter quarreled and had cold wars countless times. However, no matter how she coerced and induced the eldest princess, she still refused to leave Huangjue Temple in person or to let her go.

Really unable to defeat the eldest princess who was determined by the weight, Zhang Meiren was angry, but she could only find another way to find helpers among the palace officials, monks and nuns who were responsible for keeping an eye on her.

Not to mention, Zhang Meiren did something smart this time.

Among the palace people who came to Huangjue Temple with her in the name of praying for blessings, who would be willing to continue to stay in Huangjue Temple?
There are also those monks from Huangjue Temple. As members of the Daqi Royal Temple, their current situation is actually very embarrassing.

In particular, the current emperor Yu Zizhen did not grant certain privileges to Buddhists and Taoists like the rulers of the previous dynasty.

In Daqi, temples, nunneries, and Taoist temples not only did not have to pay taxes, nor did they have to perform corvee or military service, they also received preferential treatment legally. The laws of Daqi expressly stipulate that for women, monks, nuns, Taoists, and women, they are allowed to have reduced atonement if they are guilty.

In Yu Zizhen's case, no one, as long as they live under her rule, can try to create privileges for her.

She advocates that the law is above all else, let alone monks, nuns, Taoist priests and women, even those nobles who have been awarded titles for their merits, she will not give them other privileges besides the iron certificate of alchemy.

The most important thing is that she has not issued any iron certificate of alchemy to any hero so far.

Of course, this is not because Yu Zizhen is stingy and she doesn't send it out, mainly because no one under her command is qualified to get this thing.

As a powerful monarch with her own cheats, even if she did not personally fight in the important battles during the founding of Yu Zizhen, she definitely contributed excellent strategies and secret weapons, and then everyone could use various unexpected methods. , captured quickly with minimal casualties.

In addition, she made all kinds of preparations before the war began, and single-handedly laid a solid foundation for the founding of the country.

To put it into perspective, if the total contribution of her ministers to the founding of the country is 2, then her monarch's contribution to the founding of the country cannot be as high as 1.

There are so many of them sharing a 2, but she can monopolize a whole 1. Who dares to take credit and be arrogant in front of her if she has a little bit of success in her heart?

These people no longer dare to take credit and be arrogant. Those monks who have made no contribution to Yu Zizhen, how can they dare to play against Yu Zizhen when she is at her peak?
Yu Zizhen issued a policy to encourage monks to return to secular life, and ordered temples, nunneries, and Taoist temples in various places not to obstruct it for any reason. They tolerated it silently.

Yu Zizhen required temples, nunneries, and Taoist temples in various places to become members of the tax-paying army in accordance with the revised laws of China. He also asked them, like others, that if they were unwilling to perform corvee or military service, they would directly pay food and money according to the corresponding standards. They were so distressed that they couldn't breathe during the redemption, but they still endured it silently.

Yu Zizhen asked them to abide by the law. If they broke the law, they would no longer be allowed to use their status as "monastics" to make reductions and redemptions. Although they were not happy, they thought that they had already ceded greater benefits before, so they finally tolerated it silently.
