Chapter 55

Above the statue.

Qin Mu hovered in mid-air.

Looking at Yan, who was excited and full of fanaticism.

After seizing political power, he came to the temple for the first time.

Telling him about his life's ambitions.

"Great god, you are omniscient and must know that the territory of the world is very vast; outside the Great Yan State, there are large areas of wilderness, existing with fierce wild beasts that have not yet been developed..."

Yan knelt on the cushion.

And said incredibly excitedly: "I have suggested to the late Emperor several times, but she abandoned the development of these areas on the grounds that the people were just settled and we should not make big moves!"

"I have sent people to investigate; the current Great Yan State is built on an endless plain, but the area of those wilderness regions is far greater than the Great Yan State!"

"Although these territories are wild and rugged, wherever the sun shines is the territory of my Great Yan State; how can I let them be?"

"In addition, besides these wilderness regions, there is the vast ocean!"

"On the ocean, there are many islands, boundless; I will conquer these one by one in the future!"

"And the standing army; although the late Emperor was excellent in the Art of War, the standing army she created was too weak in combat effectiveness, and they were not even armed with divine artifacts..."

Gradually.

Yan said all his thoughts and ambitions from the past eight years.

Qin Mu was a little surprised to hear it.

He did not expect...

This twenty-eight-year-old Yan, Ji's nephew, actually had such ambition!

Those wilderness regions were indeed very large.

They were full of fierce wild beasts and undeveloped.

And the difficulty of development was also very high.

The area of the ocean...

Was even more vast!

When he built this planet before, he shaped it according to the ratio of one-third land and seven-thirds ocean.

And Yan...

Actually wanted to conquer the ocean!

"No wonder the system evaluated that his desire for exploration and thirst for knowledge are extremely strong."

Qin Mu sighed.

The system's simulation was correct.

Yan was indeed the successor most suitable for the development and evolution of civilization.

After thinking slightly.

Qin Mu waved his hand.

The divine book placed under the statue slowly hovered, emitting a faint light.

Yan saw this scene.

His eyes widened instantly, and his breathing quickened.

He understood that this meant...

The god recognized him!

"Please rest assured, god, I will definitely build an unprecedented, unparalleled huge empire!"

He clenched his fists and slowly took the hovering divine book.

Opened the first page of the divine book.

And saw the four characters "Book of Civilization".

"Book of Civilization? What is civilization?"

Like Ji back then. 010

Such a doubt also emerged in his mind.

Yan left the temple.

Returned to the palace.

That night.

He read through the entire divine book.

"The knowledge in the divine book is too vast; it turns out that all the policies promoted by the late Emperor came from the divine book."

Holding the divine book, he muttered to himself.

In the divine book.

He saw the various measures promoted by the late Emperor.

Official system, criminal law, agriculture, animal husbandry, city-states, horse taming, imperial roads, Art of War, etc.

In these aspects...

Ji had already done the best.

But what he was interested in was the "Chapter on Strange Objects" in the divine book.

In the Chapter on Strange Objects.

He even saw the refining method of the divine artifact that he had researched himself.

"It turns out that the divine book had already explained the refining method of the divine artifact, but it's a pity that the late Emperor was addicted to other things and ignored this item..."

Yan's eyes flickered.

In fact.

If it weren't for the late Emperor ignoring this item, he would not have had the opportunity to successfully usurp the throne by building the divine artifact!

After pondering for a night.

The next day at court.

Facing all the ministers, he promulgated a series of political decrees.

"One, elevate the status of craftsmen; from today on, the Ministry of Works is the head of the Six Ministries!"

"Two, reform the military system, establish the Great Yan Forbidden Army, select capable people from all over the country to fill it, and equip them with new iron weapons!"

"Three, elevate the status of men; men in the Great Yan State are the heads of the family, and children take their father's surname!"

"Four, encourage childbirth; those who give birth to one child can receive food or meat!"

"Five..."

With the promulgation of a series of political decrees.

In the Great Yan State, the matrilineal clan gradually shifted toward the patrilineal clan.

The status of men was significantly improved.

At the same time.

He was originally the Minister of Works.

Therefore, he attached more importance to the Ministry of Works.

He often handed the contents of the "Chapter on Strange Objects" in the divine book to the Ministry of Works for research.

Every time a major breakthrough was made, he would give generous rewards to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.

Gradually.

In the entire Great Yan State, the status of craftsmen became higher and higher.

Many people wanted to work in the Ministry of Works after becoming adults.

After Qin Mu saw Yan's series of measures.

He revealed a satisfied smile.

Craftsmen are actually the original scientists.

Their research on various objects is invention and creation.

It's a pity...

Before he traveled, no one in the ancient times of Earth attached importance to these craftsmen.

Even Ji did not attach much importance to craftsmen.

And Yan, coming from the position of Minister of Works, after ascending to the throne, brought the status of the Ministry of Works and craftsmen to a crazy rise.

Which had a great promotion for the development of technological civilization.

Second year of the Great Yan State.

The second year after Yan usurped the throne.

In the palace.

Yan held the latest report on strange objects submitted by the Minister of Works and revealed an excited look.

"Cement, horseshoes, crossbows have finally come out!"

After he ascended to the throne.

He set these three strange objects in the divine book as priority research projects.

Lasting one year...

The Ministry of Works finally researched these three strange objects.

"Pass my decree, let the Ministry of Works and the craftsmen's offices in various city-states mass-produce these three types of objects!"

"I want to pave the imperial roads of the entire Great Yan State with cement and let all horses wear horseshoes!"

"It's time to develop those wilderness areas!"

Yan took a deep breath and looked at a huge world map behind him.

In the center of the world map was the range of the Great Yan State.

But outside the Great Yan State...

There were still many black areas that had not been marked!

And that endless ocean!

"Step by step, first conquer the land, then conquer the sea!"

Yan clenched his fists, his eyes full of the desire to conquer.

One day...

He would fill in all these blank maps!

Under the whole world.

Wherever the sun shines is the territory of the Great Yan State!

Third year of the Great Yan calendar.

After a year of preparation.

All the main imperial roads of the Great Yan State were paved with cement.

Post horses wearing horseshoes passed through them, and the time taken was shortened by one-third!

And iron crossbows also armed all the Great Yan Army of the Great Yan State!
