The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 1003 The Martial Emperor's Golden Age!

(Thanks to Sisi for not guessing for casting 10 monthly votes.)
When Qin Zhengyue opened her eyes again, what flooded her mind was a torrent of memories belonging to the original owner of this body (Wu Zhao). Her own memories, unique to the commander of the Chinese army in the interstellar era, were already buried deep in the sea of ​​memories.

However, she was accompanied by an auxiliary system that, while weak in energy, still retained some of its core functions.

She was once a sharp blade in the starry sea, burning her last breath to protect the human race's territory.

Now, however, he has become a figure second only to the emperor in this ancient empire, above all others.

After a brief period of adjustment to the fusion of her soul and body, she surveyed this unfamiliar land and era with the sharp gaze of a commander overlooking the battlefield.

Backward, inefficient, and rife with unimaginable ignorance and waste.

This was her first judgment.

But at the same time, the potential hidden in this land, its huge population base, its mountains and rivers that have not yet been polluted by industry, and the sparks of wisdom that still shine in the minds of scholars, though bound by frameworks, also showed her infinite possibilities.

Her system was severely damaged during the time travel and was unable to provide technological creations that were ahead of their time;

However, its core database—containing basic scientific principles, social management models, historical experience analysis, and even basic industrial and agricultural technology blueprints—remains available.

More importantly, the system retains a weak but crucial detection function—the ability to detect anomalous energy fluctuations.

After a bloody storm, she ascended the throne!

At the beginning of her reign, while stabilizing the court, she keenly sensed that in certain corners of this space-time, there existed "abnormal energy sources" similar to hers.

These energy sources are accompanied by behaviors such as "drastic personality changes," "incoherent speech," or "mastery of some strange skill" in certain individuals.

She immediately realized that she was not an isolated case.

Other souls from different timelines also fell into this era.

"Since it is a variable, it must be controlled."

Driven by her commander's instincts, she would never allow uncontrollable factors to exist in her "rear."

Thus, Xue Yao, the then commander of the Imperial Guard, known for his loyalty and execution, received a secret decree to establish a secret force that was absolutely loyal and directly obeyed the emperor, dedicated to investigating, identifying, and recording all those whose "personality changed drastically after an accident," and thus created the "Record of Extraordinary People."

This register records all sorts of "extraordinary people".

There was a minor official in the Ministry of Works who suddenly became proficient in arithmetic and could improve the loom;
There was a down-on-his-luck scholar who talked about "freedom and equality" and tried to promote "village self-governance" in the countryside;

There were interpreters in the Maritime Trade Office who could recite accurate nautical charts of foreign countries and encourage maritime trade.
Emperor Wu's attitude toward this list can be described as a model of making the best use of resources.

For those who posed little threat and possessed genuine talent, she either recruited or monitored them, extracting their knowledge and integrating it into the great tide of the Tang Dynasty's development.

Those whose ideas are "dangerous" and may shake the foundations of the regime are either imprisoned or made to "disappear."

Driven by her absolute will, the machines of the Tang Empire operated efficiently and ruthlessly.

Of all the events related to "extraordinary people," the one that surprised her the most, yet was also quite reasonable, was her "son"—Prince Xiang, Li Dan.

Perhaps it was the instinct of a mother and son being connected, or perhaps it was the influence of the original owner's remaining consciousness, but Li Dan was the first and only person to keenly perceive that "his mother was no longer his mother" without any external prompting.

It was a complete change in temperament; the warmth in his eyes was replaced by cold indifference, and the occasional impatience and disdain for certain "common sense" made Li Dan's heart pound.

After a tentative questioning, Emperor Wu neither denied nor explained, but simply looked at him calmly with his all-knowing eyes, as if he were scrutinizing an immature subordinate.

Li Dan was overwhelmed by fear, anger, and immense disappointment. He could not accept that the body that occupied his mother's body was occupied by a cold "ghost" from another world.

From that moment on, an invisible yet unfathomable chasm separated mother and son.

Li Dan maintained a facade of filial piety and subject-ministerial courtesy, but the alienation and fear in his eyes were impossible to conceal.

But Emperor Wu didn't care about this.

In her view, family ties are an inefficient emotional bond and may even become a stumbling block to decision-making.

A qualified successor needs ability and loyalty, not unnecessary emotional dependence.

The continuation of the empire is far more important than personal joys and sorrows.

She enjoyed supreme power, but also bore the corresponding absolute loneliness that no one could understand. After eliminating internal destabilizing factors, Emperor Wu, with the strategic vision of an interstellar commander and an iron fist, began a comprehensive transformation and acceleration of the Tang Dynasty.

Based on clues provided by the "extraordinary person" and verification through the system database, she overcame all opposition and pushed Bi Qionglan to go to the south to find and cultivate hybrid rice.

This high-yield, drought-resistant rice variety, combined with the new farmland management methods and water conservancy projects that she ordered to organize and promote, enabled the Tang Dynasty's grain output to more than double within ten years.
The steady and rapid population growth laid a solid material foundation for all subsequent reforms.

Empress Wu also completely broke with the traditional mindset of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce".

She believes that commerce is the lifeblood, and circulation is what brings vitality.

She not only reopened and strengthened the land-based Silk Road, but also vigorously developed maritime trade with the backing of a powerful nation.

The massive government-run fleet, represented by Du Qinghui, sailed alongside protected private maritime merchants, heading towards Persia, India, and even further to the East African coast.

Silk, porcelain, and tea were exchanged for enormous amounts of gold, silver, spices, rare woods, and, more importantly, knowledge, technology, and crops from the outside world.

The revenue from the Maritime Trade Office became an important pillar of the Tang Empire's finances.

With her forward-thinking military concepts, she carried out a complete overhaul of the army's organization, training, and logistics.

She emphasized the importance of discipline, teamwork, and logistical support.

Although her improvements to weapons did not transcend the era, they far surpassed those of other countries of that time in areas such as metallurgy, crossbow design, and siege weaponry.

The army's projection and sustained combat capabilities were significantly enhanced, providing the Tang Empire with both a sharp spear and a sturdy shield for its expansion.

In this process, she strongly supported Li San Niang, a female doctor with medical knowledge that transcended the limitations of her time, which brought high concentrations of alcohol and surgical procedures to the attention of the ulcer doctors at the Imperial Medical Academy.

This action later saved the lives of a large number of soldiers and improved their quality of life after the war!

This ensured that the Tang Empire would be invincible in its future wars of expansion!
She encouraged practical learning and promoted talents who were proficient in mathematics and physics.

The Imperial Academy quietly added subjects such as geography and basic geometry to its curriculum.

Under official guidance, the healthcare system has also begun preliminary standardization and knowledge organization.

Under Emperor Wu's decades-long rule, the ancient machine of the Tang Dynasty was infused with a soul and power that transcended its time, bursting forth with unprecedented vitality.

Its territory extended northward to the vast grasslands, westward it regained control of the oasis city-states of Central Asia, and southward it incorporated Annam and even parts of the Indochina Peninsula's fertile lands. Its maritime influence radiated throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Major cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Guangzhou were bustling with merchants, bringing together rare treasures from all over the world and faces of different skin colors.

The empire's postal system was extensive, its roads were repeatedly repaired and widened, and its canal system operated efficiently, ensuring the smooth flow of government orders and supplies.

New crops grew in the fields, new workshops were established in the towns, and new ships set sail in the harbor.

Although there were still voices advocating for conservatism in the imperial court, they gradually weakened in the face of Emperor Wu's absolute authority and obvious achievements.

The whole society is showing a positive, open and confident attitude.

Whether they were merchants from the Western Regions, envoys from Southeast Asia, or Arab merchants who traveled across the ocean, they were all captivated by the wealth, prosperity, and powerful spirit of this land.

"All nations paying tribute" was no longer a symbolic ceremony, but a real recognition and aspiration for the world's central position.

During her reign, the Tang Dynasty, this "new stronghold" she unexpectedly gained, will inevitably be pushed to an unprecedented peak that even history books cannot fully describe.

Her autocratic rule, her ruthlessness, and her unparalleled vision together forged the most glorious and unique era on this land—the prosperous reign of Emperor Wu.
