Chapter 134: Female Supremacy: One Little Husband a Day 1

In addition to the Ninth Princess, there was another person who killed the original owner, and that was Aunt Huang who was beside the Queen.

In this life, Aunt Huang was used by Chu Yuan and had secretly helped her several times. She specifically asked for the queen mother's favor and kept Aunt Huang in the palace to serve her.

Chu Shutong originally wanted to take a few elderly people whom she was used to with her to the villa, but since her daughter asked, she did not refuse.

So Aunt Huang is still dreaming of a great future, thinking that she is the most capable female official beside Chu Yuan, and she also wants to get an official position for her daughter based on her merits in following the emperor.

As a result, not long after, he was secretly taken to a water dungeon by Chu Yuan, where he was tortured.

In the end, she died in pain in there because she couldn't get the antidote. Chu Yuan stood outside the dungeon, watching it all indifferently.

Later, when someone asked about it, Chu Yuan said that she found out that Aunt Huang was a remnant of the Fourth Princess's party. Unfortunately, before she could take any action, the Fourth Princess was brought down, so her true identity has never been revealed.

The Fourth Princess had indeed had several private contacts with Aunt Huang, but by then Aunt Huang had already pledged allegiance to Chu Yuan, and she cleverly evaded the Fourth Princess's temptations each time.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this was undoubtedly irrefutable evidence of her collusion with the Four Princesses.

After everything was settled, Chu Yuan successfully started his journey to becoming the queen.

After she came to power, the first decree she issued was to develop the country through science and education. Funds were allocated from the national treasury so that all children of every household, regardless of gender or background, could go to school and learn to read and write.

It took a month to establish countless primary schools in all states and counties across the country, and then notices were posted to recruit students, scholars and other people with official titles from all over the country to be teachers.

After everything was ready, he ordered the county magistrates of each county to supervise the local people and send all children of school age to school.

If any of them performs well and achieves excellent results, they can be reported to the court.

After assessment and review, these outstanding students will be sent to higher-level institutions to continue their studies, laying the foundation for their future participation in the imperial examinations.

Once the decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar. You know, schools are places that only children from wealthy families can go to, but now they are open to everyone for free.

Chu Yuan received a report saying that there was a constant stream of people queuing up at the gates of schools in various places to register, and many of them sent four or five children from their families to study together.

Of course, where there are active ones there are also those who are uncooperative. Many people think that after sending their children to school, there will be no one to do the work at home.

There are also families who only send girls to school, while the boys stay at home to take care of their parents and sisters. There are quite a few such families.

In order to prevent such phenomena from happening again, Chu Yuan added a new law. If anyone prevents children from going to school, the person who stops them will be imprisoned for seven days and fined one or two taels of silver.

This made everything go according to Chu Yuan's idea.

It is a good thing for the country to have more people reading and understanding.

But this was a long battle, and the national treasury had been spending more than it earned. There would come a day when it could no longer bear the consequences, so Chu Yuan began to think about ways to make money.

She had many ways to make money in her mind, such as making soap, wine, glass, cement, etc.

She had already stored the methods of making these things in her space in case they were needed, but what she lacked now was someone who could be responsible for this matter.

After much thought, Chu Yuan felt that his maternal grandparents' family was the most trustworthy.

So the next day, the Minister of Revenue was summoned to the emperor for an audience. Minister of Revenue Liu Peiru was fifty-five years old this year, and Chu Yuan's father was her second legitimate son.

"I, the Minister of Revenue Liu Peiru, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Grandma, please stand up quickly." Chu Yuan personally helped his grandmother sit down on the stool and promised her that she would not have to perform the kneeling ceremony in the future.

"I asked grandma to come here this time because I want to ask my cousin Xingzhu to do something. However, my cousin Xingzhu doesn't have enough experience in this area, so I need grandma's help."

Among these things, making wine is undoubtedly the simplest, and the price of fine wine in ancient times was very high, so it became Chu Yuan's first choice.

Chu Yuan took out the wine-making recipe he had written and wanted his cousin from his maternal grandparents' family to be in charge of this matter.

Liu Peiru was a little surprised when she saw this. Can grapes actually be used to make fine wine?

But since His Majesty had spoken, she certainly would not refuse: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will urge Xingzhu to do my best to get this done."

"Thank you very much, Grandmother. When Cousin Xingzhu expands her business, I will split the profits with her 80% and 20%."

"That's unacceptable. Xingzhu is doing things for His Majesty as part of her job. How can she share the profits with His Majesty?"

"Grandma, don't refuse. If this matter is handled well, I will have many more uses for Cousin Xingzhu in the future. These two cents of profit are nothing."

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Xingzhu."

After giving instructions, Chu Yuan waited for the result in the palace. Fortunately, the brewing process did not take long and she soon saw the finished product.

According to the raw materials and methods written by Chu Yuan, Liu Xingzhu made some adjustments based on actual conditions and brewed a total of three types of wine.

After tasting them one by one, Chu Yuan chose the one with the best taste. The other two were either astringent or too sweet, which was not quite to her taste.

After the recipe was finalized, wine production began.

Within a month, a new wine shop opened in the capital, hanging a plaque bestowed by His Majesty.

This gimmick attracted many dignitaries to come and show their support, and they bought several jars of wine.

When I opened it and tasted it at home, I found that this wine had a light berry aroma, was soft on the palate and had a long aftertaste, and was truly a top-quality wine.

Everyone who drank the wine praised it highly. The news spread quickly throughout the capital, and the wine became more and more famous.

Even though a small jar of wine cost 20 taels of silver, it could not escape the fate of being snapped up by people, and the stock in the wine cellar was quickly sold out.

From then on, the wine shop sold a batch of wine every seven days, and each person was limited to two jars.

This move also attracted more and more people to buy wine. In the capital, being able to take out a jar of wine when entertaining guests became a very face-saving thing.

Chu Yuan made a fortune from it, and the national treasury finally had a large amount of income.

one year later.

As soon as Chu Yuan finished his court session, he heard a palace servant come to report that the queen had suddenly vomited this morning and the imperial physician had been called to take her pulse.

She stayed in the Queen's Palace last night, but she was fine before she left. How come she suddenly vomited?

Without time to change out of court clothes, Chu Yuan hurried to Weiyang Palace: "Yun Zhen, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, I am two months pregnant. Your Majesty is going to be a mother again!"
