Chapter 109: The Phoenix's Awakening
As Lin Yuer stands at the precipice of the next phase of her journey, the empire has begun to stabilize. The fires of rebellion have been extinguished, but the embers remain, glowing faintly, waiting to flare up again. She knows this fragile peace cannot be taken for granted. The elites may have been silenced, but their resentment lingers, and the undercurrent of rebellion is never truly gone.
The work now lies in deepening the reforms she has begun. Lin Yuer's vision of an empire based on equality, merit, and innovation must become more than just ideals—it must be a living, breathing reality. Her first step is to address the challenges of communication within the empire, ensuring that her voice is heard clearly in even the most remote corners. The establishment of communication networks will be key to maintaining control and unity.
To that end, Lin Yuer commissions a group of engineers to begin developing a system of messaging that can reach every corner of the empire. The use of new technology to create fast, reliable communication channels will ensure that the people can hear directly from her. This system, once in place, will bypass traditional methods that had been vulnerable to corruption and distortion.
