The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household

Chapter 138 Official Business Must Be Official

It is impossible for him to ascend the throne. Jiang Sining will never be able to become emperor in his lifetime.

Because being an emperor means being trapped in the pigeon-cage-like palace forever. If you want to go out for a stroll, to put it nicely it is called a secret visit, but to put it bluntly it means being extremely nervous.

They had to attend court every day, there were endless state affairs to deal with every day, they had to work seven days a week, and there were no public holidays during the holidays.

How could a modern person who is used to freedom put such shackles on her head so ruthlessly?

Her real ideal is to build several 10,000-ton ships, take a group of trusted people with her, and travel around the world across the oceans.

Look at the world in this book and see how it differs from the Earth in your previous life.

So she refused simply: "I won't go on board."

Everyone was confused by her answer. No one would have thought that she would actually refuse to be emperor!

This is the Lord of Daxia and the Son of Heaven!

How could anyone refuse?

"His Majesty……"

"Don't call me Your Majesty," Jiang Sining said, "I've already said that I will not ascend the throne to become emperor."

The ministers thought that Jiang Sining was refusing on the surface, but would only accept it reluctantly after being asked three times. However, Si Chenan knew better than anyone that what his wife said was what she thought in her heart.

If she says it's not right, then it will definitely not be right.

"But now the royal family has no successor, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a day," Si Chenan said, "If my lady does not become the emperor, how can Daxia be stable?"

"You decide. That's settled."

After saying this, Jiang Sining turned around and ran away without paying any attention to everyone's stunned gazes.

Fortunately, this happened at the gate of the palace and not inside the palace, otherwise if a group of people blocked the gate of the palace, it might not be so easy for her to escape.

Seeing that she ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye, a group of ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The military generals in particular felt a little embarrassed.

Everyone worked together and risked their lives to nominate a female emperor, but it ended up being a farce.

Fortunately, Jiang Sining is gone, but Si Chenan is still here.

In fact, according to everyone's previous thinking, Si Chenan is the most suitable candidate. After all, he is a descendant of a famous and loyal family and controls a powerful military force. The position of emperor should be his.

So everyone's eyes fell on Si Chenan, and the latter could only sigh in his heart.

It’s not that he felt that being an emperor would be tiring and that he would have no time to rest, but he knew that his knowledge and abilities were far inferior to Jiang Sining’s.

"My nephew," the silly general said, getting impatient, "Just be the emperor. You are all family anyway, so it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor."

This sentence made everyone come back to their senses and kneel on the ground again: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

Si Chenan looked in the direction where Jiang Sining disappeared, and finally turned around, tidied his appearance, and strode into the palace.

……

In the next few days, the newly enthroned Si Chen'an worked day and night to reorganize the court officials, eliminate the remnants of the Minister of Revenue and the Ninth Prince's faction, and appoint a large number of young officials.

At the same time, a vigorous land reform was launched starting from the surrounding areas of the capital.

He also announced to the world that all the land and resources of Daxia were owned by all the people of Daxia and no longer belonged to any one person, including him, the emperor.

When this news came out, the world was in an uproar.

The most intense opposition came from the princes and nobles entrenched in the capital, but faced with countless soldiers in distinctive armor and the emotional ordinary people, these aristocratic families who were accustomed to riding roughshod over the people in the past were ultimately vulnerable.

Anyone who disobeyed in the slightest was thrown into jail and awaited punishment.

The common people who got the land sang praises to the newly enthroned emperor.

Following Jiang Sining's suggestion, Si Chenan implemented land reform steadily and orderly. He did not seek speed, but only required that the reform of each prefecture, county, and village must be thorough.

The rebel army was also renamed the Security Team and played a huge role in promoting and supervising this matter.

In order to get this done beautifully, Si Chenan was in the study almost every day. It was already very late this day and he was so busy that he didn't even have dinner. Then bad news came from Qiuhe again.

"Your Majesty, the gentry in Lan County, Jizhou, have started making trouble again."

Si Chenan sighed in his heart and came to a huge map.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Qingyu asked quickly when he saw that he looked unhappy.

"There's trouble going on in Jizhou again."

Si Chenan said this and drew a small circle on the map.

Judging from this map, the reform in the entire north has basically been completed, except for a few places in Jizhou where it has not yet been completed.

It’s not that the people here are tough, but because this is the home of Madam Chen, the current empress dowager.

Relying on the fact that they were royal relatives, these relatives refused to obey the reform plan and even organized local gentry to cause trouble.

Qiu He, who is in charge of this area, is also overwhelmed.

He used to be a retainer of the Si family, and now he is a loyal minister of the court, but he is really helpless when it comes to the Empress Dowager's family.

He reported this matter several times, but Si Chenan was afraid that his mother would be upset, so he didn't dare to report it, and the matter was kept delayed.

It seems that we can't delay it any longer.

"Your Majesty," Qingyu suggested, "why not ask the Queen?"

Si Chenan nodded slightly: "Okay, then let someone invite... No, let's go to the university"

Ever since Si Chenan became emperor, Empress Jiang Sining has been busy all the time.

She specifically asked Si Chenan to establish Daxia University to replace the previous Imperial College, and she served as the first president. These days, she is directing dozens of scholars to write new textbooks.

They also had to copy the Xinhua Dictionary, so Jiang Sining changed the name to "New Xia Dictionary".

Her space contains books from kindergarten to university, but they cannot be used directly. They still have to be rearranged according to the actual situation, and then printed in large quantities and sent to schools across the country together with dictionaries.

As for subjects like mathematics, physics and chemistry, she has not had time to learn them yet, so she has to teach a group of students herself and let these students become teachers in the future.

This is a big job, so Jiang Sining gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs every day.

When Si Chenan arrived with his men, she was still working hard.

"You're here?" Jiang Sining asked, "What's the matter?"

The guards serving Si Chenan had been following him since Liuyun Village, so they were already accustomed to Jiang Sining's tone of voice.

"The Queen has worked hard." Si Chenan said, "There is a small problem in Jizhou Prefecture. I would like to ask the Queen how to deal with it."

"I know about that." Jiang Sining said, "I've told you a long time ago that land reform must be carried out, and it must be thorough. No one can intercede for it."

"But I am worried about the Queen Mother..."

"If you are not upright yourself, how can you correct others?" Jiang Sining said, "Just do it with confidence. I will talk to the Queen Mother. I think she will understand your majesty's painstaking efforts for the country and the people."

Si Chenan nodded. The reason why this matter had been delayed for so long was that he was worried that it would be difficult to pass the test of the Queen Mother.

Now that he didn't have to face the Queen Mother in person, he naturally felt relieved. He immediately gave Qiu He an order, asking him to handle the matter impartially and not to consider anyone's personal feelings.

"Empress, it's very late," Si Chen An said, "I haven't had dinner yet, why don't you join me, the Empress?"

Jiang Sining nodded. Work is important, and life is also important.

It's been almost a month since I moved into the palace, and I haven't had a meal with Si Chenan. They don't look like a couple anymore.

So she put away her pen, stretched her body, then took Si Chenan's hand and walked towards the imperial kitchen.
