With the passage of time, all civil and military officials have gradually become accustomed to the Queen's participation in politics.

And this matter quickly spread to the people.

Contrary to the expectations of the court officials, the people's acceptance of this incident was unexpectedly high. After all, in these years, whether she solved the epidemic and saved the people from fire or water, or she served the country in order to quell the invasion of the Yelang Kingdom. He died, and seven years later, he came back from the dead and was conferred immortality by the late emperor in a temple.

It can be said that Shen Ruo's prestige and popularity among the people is probably higher than that of the generals, ministers, princes, and even the current emperor.

This completely shattered the wishful thinking of some officials who wanted to take advantage of the people's opposition and caused trouble, and they were forced to accept the fact that a woman stepped on their heads.

As for these small private thoughts, Shen Ruo didn't care about it, because she was already busy like a spinning top, spinning around all the time, and didn't even have a moment to rest.

In addition to setting up a new department, the Division of Detectives, she also proposed the establishment of a research institute, focusing on mathematics, agriculture, and applied physics.

At the beginning, she naturally encountered opposition from the ministers, until she took out hybrid rice, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and pesticides to restrain various pests and diseases, and a plane carried a bomb, which made the faces of the ministers slap ,Buzzing.

With trembling hands, the Tai Tu held up a handful of the rice seeds she gave, the old man really cared about the common people, and his eyes were moist: "Madam, this is really what you said, it can increase the yield of rice seeds by a thousand times compared to the past? "

Shen Ruo was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe that had been resized, with a jade belt around her waist and a gold crown in her hair. Not only did she not have the slightest sense of peace, but it actually made her awe-inspiring.

"This generation of seeds is fine, but as the generations reproduce, the good genes will be polluted, resulting in a decrease in yield. To maintain it, you need to continue to cultivate and develop it. This is what the research institute needs to do. You also think Is setting up a research institute just a waste of money?"

The ministers had nothing else to say, and hurriedly shouted: "The empress is wise."

Shen Ruo then nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this matter will be left to the Taifu and the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Industry. Although the necessary expenses will be taken from the national treasury, it must be promoted to the whole country as quickly as possible."

The three ministers rushed forward to receive the order: "The ministers will accept the order and will definitely live up to the queen's entrustment."

"Today, in addition to this matter, I have another matter to discuss with you. I have decided to open the first girls' school in the capital. Women can also participate in the spring examination every three years, and can participate in politics and become officials..."

Before she could finish her words, the Prime Minister stood up and interjected hurriedly: "My Lady, this is absolutely not allowed. It would be unethical for women to participate in politics and appear in public, neither men nor women!" If you insist on doing this, I'm afraid, It will shake the fate of the country and affect the foundation of Xiao State, we must not set a precedent like this!"

The other officials also knelt down together and shouted: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is reasonable, please think again!"

"Are you forcing me?"

Shen Ruo naturally expected that there would be resistance, but he didn't expect that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree. Those who didn't know thought that this proposal had poked their throats.

Just when the two parties were in a stalemate, Xiao Chen spoke up and said: "The most important thing for the imperial court now is to establish the God Catching Division and Research Institute as soon as possible. There is really no extra energy to care about other things. If it is too much If you are greedy, you may not be able to do well anywhere."

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, all the officials immediately went down the donkey to compliment him: "The emperor is wise."

Shen Ruo glanced at him, knowing that today is not a good time to continue talking about this matter, so she let the officials move the topic elsewhere.

After the court, she finally couldn't help but get angry and said: "These bastards, they are so good at getting cheap, they say that women can't participate in politics, and they say it will affect the fate of the country, bah, it will affect the fate of the country, why didn't he come out of his father's ass?" , aren't you afraid that his mother will affect his official career?"

She was striding forward, scolding loudly, when she heard laughter behind her. She immediately glared at him angrily, "You too, actually speaking for those ministers, don't follow me, I don't want to see you now."

Seeing that the situation was serious, Xiao Chen hurriedly came over and comforted him: "It is really against normal ethics for women to participate in politics. It is normal that the ministers cannot accept it for the time being. You have to give them some time to adapt, and the people may not be able to. I can accept it, it is indeed not beneficial to social stability, take your time, when did you get so impatient?"

Shen Ruo pursed her lips: "Is there anything you can't accept? Don't they all accept that I will preside over the government with you? I think they are in need."

Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing again: "You are different, I think those courtiers probably didn't treat you as a woman."

She frowned: "Don't you think of me as a woman, do you think of me as a monster?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing, apparently acquiescing to her words, which made her very angry.

"Okay, I'm a monster, don't come to my room from now on, or I'll eat you one day."

After leaving these words, she angrily threw up her sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly chased after her to coax her.

And this scene, if an outsider saw it, their jaws would drop in shock, but for the eunuchs and maids in the palace, they were already used to it.

Now that the matter of establishing a girls' school has been put on hold for the time being, Shen Ruo had to focus all her energy on the Divine Catcher Division and the Research Institute. Things went much smoother than she imagined.

Lin'er had privately recruited many martial arts masters during the martial arts competition before, and now they were just in use. With all the manpower available, the venue was left.

Shen Ruo thought for a moment, and then suggested that the princess mansion should be converted into a god arresting department. Firstly, it would save time and effort, move in with a bag, and put a number on the board. Secondly, it could be regarded as a clear statement to the world that this god arresting department is the force under her command. , if someone wants to have their fingers dyed, they should first check how much they weigh and whether they have the ability.

Since the establishment of the Divine Catching Division, it has quickly gained the love and support of the people for its hatred of evil and its high work efficiency. Countless corrupt officials have been captured. The government and the public are in an instant, and everyone has their butts clamped. , she obeyed Shen Ruo's edict more and more, not daring to disobey even a word, and her position became more and more stable.

And the research institute, under the leadership of the Taifu, quickly gathered a team of people. Although they were not professional, they worked steadily, step by step, and soon thoroughly grasped the techniques Shen Ruo taught them, and successfully hybridized them. The popularization of rice and chemical fertilizers and pesticides spread out.

Although the effect is much worse than Shen Ruo expected, but for the ancient times when the grain grains were not harvested due to natural disasters and insect pests, not only could the grain be produced, but the output was even dozens of times higher than before. After paying the rent, the landlord can still have a lot left.

Not to mention food and clothing for the New Year, even food for the second half of the year is guaranteed. For the majority of farmers, this is simply a miracle!

It is also true that the folks gradually began to call Shen Ruo the queen of heaven to express their respect and worship for her. Later, this title also affected the court, and she was no longer called the queen, but the queen of heaven, and even more What's more, it is proposed to call her Huangshang, together with the emperor, but that will be a matter of later.
