Chapter 80: The Heart of the Revolution
As Lin Yuer's power continues to grow, so does her resolve. She knows that the changes she seeks to implement will not be achieved through politics alone. It will take a complete overhaul of society, from education to agriculture, from business practices to cultural norms. She begins to establish schools for young women, offering them the same opportunities for education that men have long enjoyed. She advocates for the inclusion of women in the workforce, believing that a nation can only truly thrive when all its citizens are given the chance to contribute.
Simultaneously, Lin Yuer works to strengthen the economy by creating trade partnerships with neighboring regions and improving the empire's agricultural output. Her innovations in farming techniques have already begun to yield results, and she pushes for more sustainable practices that will help secure the empire's future. She also envisions a new kind of market system, one that is fairer and more accessible to the common people.
Her most ambitious project, however, is the establishment of a new political system. Lin Yuer seeks to create a council of representatives from all corners of society—merchants, scholars, military leaders, and workers—who will work together to shape the future of the empire. She believes that true governance cannot rest solely in the hands of the emperor or the elite; it must be a collective effort.
But even as she lays the groundwork for this new vision, enemies both within and outside her circle grow more desperate. They know that if Lin Yuer succeeds, the balance of power in the empire will be permanently altered.
