Chapter 2056 The Rise of the Concubine's Daughter 9
The palace servants punished Yun Qian with ten strokes of the cane according to palace rules, but this was only halved because she was the Empress.
Her two maids weren't as lucky as her; they were given a good twenty strokes of the cane.
The palace servants threw them out of the palace.
This scene was witnessed by many people.
Yun Qian returned to the Marquis's mansion with a heavy heart, but after only a few days of recuperating, she received a letter of divorce from Qin Tong.
After they got together, the novelty wore off, and the initial resentment disappeared. Qin Tong's feelings for Yun Qian became indifferent.
Now that Yun Qian wants to cheat on him, Qin Tong can't tolerate it.
He's not like Zhang Yu; he won't let himself be cuckolded.
Yun Qian was kicked out of the Qin family by Qin Tong. Qin Tong was still a person of conscience and did not embezzle Yun Qian's dowry, but returned it all to her.
Yun Qian did not return to the Yun family; she could not go back.
The Yun family disliked her and had her name removed from the family genealogy.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave the capital.
This blow was too great. Yun Qian finally realized that she was not the protagonist and did not have the halo of a transmigrator.
She couldn't seduce the emperor, and now she doesn't even have a husband.
He did it all himself.
Now that she has no family or backing, if she continues down this path, she might even lose her life.
Yun Qian was scared.
After leaving the capital, she chose a county town with simple and honest people, bought a house, farmland and shops, and lived a simple but prosperous life.
Later, she saved an injured man.
After the man recovered from his injuries, he stayed. Later, he married into Yun Qian's family and became her son-in-law.
Yun Qian didn't care about the man's past; she only cared about how good he was to her.
She wanted a man who truly loved her, a man she couldn't seduce.
She had three children with the man and lived with him for fifty years.
They closed their eyes contentedly, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
Let's get back to the topic.
Although Duanmu Huan ordered a news blackout, Yun Qiao still learned of Yun Qian's actions.
Yun Qiao wasn't angry; instead, she smiled.
Yun Qiao: "If it weren't for her doing this, how would I know that my husband only has me in his heart and is not tempted by other beauties!"
Duanmu Huan stroked Yun Qiao's hand: "Empress, when will the baby be born?"
It's inconvenient even to get intimate with his own empress.
In the end, Yun Qiao used her own hands to help her husband.
The soft hands, combined with the special internal energy, made Duanmu Huan feel like he was dying of pleasure.
A few months later, Yun Qiao gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
This is the compensation that the Heavenly Dao of this world gave to Yun Qiao.
Duanmu Huan was overjoyed and, when the twins were a month old, he named his son as the crown prince.
Seeing Yun Qiao's near-death experience during childbirth, he didn't want his beloved woman to suffer any more, so he asked the imperial physician to prescribe a sterilization drug for him.
Yun Qiao cried when she found out.
This man is so good to her; he truly gives her his whole heart.
Yun Qiao no longer held back from Duanmu Huan, and wrote down all the books she had read, such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Qimin Yaoshu," and gave them to Duanmu Huan.
Duanmu Huan treated these books as if they were priceless treasures, and pulled people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to study them.
Then, various improved farming tools were promoted, and a group of agricultural officials went to various places to teach people more advanced farming methods.
Many previously unknown mines were discovered. The salt-boiling method was changed to the sun-drying method, and the salt administration was reformed.
The common people were able to afford salt, and the imperial court's salt tax increased significantly.
While Duanmu Huan was busy, Yun Qiao was not idle either.
Yun Qiao gathered a group of craftsmen and, following the formula Liu Tong had given her, fired glass and cement.
After continuous experimentation by the craftsmen, both types were successfully fired.
After obtaining the cement, Duanmu Huan immediately put it into the construction of dikes in various places.
Because they were familiar with the new materials department, the river officials dared not cut corners and used all the cement in the construction of the embankment.
As a result, the dikes in various places became incredibly strong, and when the flood came, not a single dike was breached.
There was supposed to be a massive flood this year, which would have breached the dikes on both sides of the Yangtze River, causing disaster throughout the region and displacing millions of people.
But thanks to the cement, the dam held firm against the flood.
The floodwaters successfully flowed into the sea, and no household in Jiangnan was affected.
When the news reached the capital, the ministers were all amazed and praised the Empress for creating cement.
The emperor and empress's prestige rose, and those who were originally dissatisfied with Duanmu Huan's ascension to the throne and Yun Qiao's becoming empress were now completely convinced.
Because they all wanted the glass and mirrors sold in the Queen's shop!
Yun Qiao held up the silver notes, thinking to herself that she could finally get reading glasses and nearsighted glasses.
After completing these two tasks, Yun Qiao then instructed the craftsmen to study shipbuilding blueprints and create a large ship capable of traversing the ocean.
She remembered her master saying that on the other side of the ocean, there was a vast, unclaimed land where high-yield, high-quality seeds could be found.
Yun Qiao told Duanmu Huan about this, and Duanmu Huan took it even more seriously than she did, keeping a close eye on the craftsmen's production progress.
Finally, the large ship was completed, and Duanmu Huan sent a fleet out to sea.
After three years of effort, the fleet returned, bringing back not only potatoes and corn, but also news of overseas territories.
Unfortunately, it was too far from the Great Xia Dynasty. Considering the potential gains and losses in Hengliang, Duanmu Huan gave up on occupying that land.
Potatoes and corn, being introduced to the royal estates, were, after all, foreign varieties, and needed to be domesticated locally before being spread.
After cultivating them for five years, and once the yields of both crops stabilized, Duanmu Huan distributed the superior seeds.
The people had heard that the corn and potato yields were huge and had been keeping a close eye on them for a long time.
As soon as the imperial court announced the distribution of seeds, they rushed to collect the superior varieties.
They started planting as soon as they got back, and took great care of the plants during that time.
And when the harvest comes, the rewards are enormous.
The yield per mu exceeded 1,000 jin.
The people celebrated by beating drums and gongs and performing the Yangko dance, bowing in the direction of the capital.
In their hearts, the current emperor and empress have become like gods.
At this time, if anyone wanted to rebel, the people could drown them with a single spit from each of them.
Unlike the threshing machine, Duanmu Huan did not conceal Yun Qiao's achievements. The whole world knows how much Yun Qiao has done for the country and its people.
When the common people made longevity tablets for the emperor, they also made one for Yun Qiao.
The two people involved couldn't see it, but Liu Dong did. A large amount of faith and merit surged towards the two of them and entered their souls.
In their next life, these two will have an even better fate than in this one.
Even if they are not born into royalty, they will still live a life of wealth and joy.
Liu Tong himself also gained a lot of merit, after all, Yun Qiao's knowledge was taught by Liu Tong.
Liu Dong completed Xiaotiandao's task and happily left this world with her reward. (End of Chapter)
