Chapter 764: Ancient Robbery 47 (End)
The power of an individual can never defeat that of a country. Although she has many ideas in her mind, she cannot implement them without sufficient manpower and material resources.
Besides, the reason why she didn't want to be with Meng Dingfeng in the first place was because she had her own ambitions.
Tao Feng could feel that Meng Liu was different from the women she had met before. She was generous and unfussy, and her interactions with others made people feel comfortable. This might be the demeanor of a mother of the country.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I am just a little clever, how dare I compare myself with Your Highness. If Your Highness does not abandon me, I will tell you everything I know."
The Crown Princess could call her sister-in-law, but she didn't dare to really call her sister. This statement made her attitude very clear, and it almost implied that she was willing to hand over everything she had to the country.
Meng Liu was very satisfied. She still liked people who knew how to adapt to the times. If Tao Feng really refused, she would have to be caught between her brother and Fu Wenting.
In the following time, the two started a conversation across time and space.
Meng Liu asked about Tao Feng's life in modern times and expressed interest in some of the technologies she brought up.
And Tao Feng was just as she said before, she knew what she was talking about. She confessed to Meng Liu about her experience of time traveling and the various differences she felt in this era.
Their topics ranged from daily trivia to national affairs, from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life, and they had a great time talking.
Tao Feng left the palace only after Fu Wenting returned from court.
Meng Liu mentioned this to Fu Wenting. She had nothing to do in the palace all day, so she decided to team up with Tao Feng to come up with something new.
Fu Wenting, who doted on his wife immensely, naturally agreed.
With the full support of the prince, Meng Liu and Tao Feng began to prepare their plan.
Their first step was to set up a secret research and development studio, which was located in a hidden corner of the capital city. It was personally selected and arranged by Fu Wenting, and was guarded by layers of guards outside to ensure safety and secrecy.
The interior is carefully divided into multiple areas, with workbenches specifically for experiments and production, warehouses for storing various materials and tools, and a small rest area for two people to discuss and rest.
After Tao Feng officially married Meng Dingfeng, Meng Liu and Tao Feng started working in this studio.
Tao Feng couldn't help but wonder: "Crown Princess, you..."
It's no wonder she was suspicious. It was really that Meng Liu's actions and way of thinking were so clear to her. If she hadn't learned it, how could she be so skilled?
Meng Liu smiled: "Shh."
This was tantamount to giving her a direct answer. Tao Feng's heart was pounding. She felt that the feeling of loneliness in a strange world could finally be shared with someone.
No wonder, no wonder the Crown Princess has a long-term vision, is tolerant and gentle, after all, she herself is not a native of ancient times!
Now that she is married to Meng Dingfeng, she and Meng Liu are in the same boat, so it is neither reasonable nor moral to expose this matter.
The identity of the Crown Princess is different from that of ordinary people. When Emperor Ming first learned that she was a time traveler, he proposed to execute her. If Fu Wenting and Meng Liu had not protected her, it is unknown what Tao Feng's fate would have been.
Meng Liu is a member of the royal family and a royal daughter-in-law. Once there is a problem with her identity, it will be a big deal, and her children may also be disliked by Emperor Ming.
No father would be willing to trust that the person sleeping beside his son is a soul from another world, and no monarch would be willing to trust that uncontrollable changes would occur in the court he controls.
Knowing that she was the same as herself, Tao Feng completely let down her guard, and her relationship with Meng Liu was even better than with Meng Dingfeng. She subconsciously relied on this companion who also came from the future.
In Tao Feng's heart, in this vast ancient time, she and Meng Liu were the only ones on the same side.
Because they know each other's secrets and have received equal and free education, they will never betray each other and are in sync with the ancients.
What about Meng Dingfeng and Fu Wenting? Those were choices that had to be made in this era. If there was a chance to return to the modern era, she believed that Meng Liu would pack up and run away immediately like her.
Meng Liu is mainly responsible for controlling the general direction of the studio and sorting out what they can do according to social needs.
Tao Feng is responsible for execution and solving technical problems.
There were many things that could not be done by the two of them alone, so Meng Liu relied on her status as the Crown Princess to gain influence and summoned many female workers.
These women workers are ordinary people.
Although some physical work is more suitable for men, Fu Wenting refused to do it.
He still felt insecure and always felt that Meng Liu was going to run away with another man.
They first selected some projects that were both in line with the context of the times and could trigger social change.
For example, they improved ancient textile technology and introduced more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods. They also developed some simple mechanical devices to assist agricultural production and daily life.
These two items alone were enough to make the Emperor Ming, who had initially disapproved of the idea, take notice. Textile machines improved productivity and created jobs for thousands of families, not to mention agricultural tools. If this trend continued, the era of hunger for ordinary people would soon be over.
He had to admit that his son's vision was correct and the woman he chose was worthy of being a role model for women all over the world.
Then, Meng Liu discussed with Tao Feng about introducing modern educational concepts and methods to provide the people with a more comprehensive and open education.
This time Emperor Ming readily approved it.
As time went by, their efforts gradually showed results.
Their series of actions have attracted widespread attention and discussion among the public.
Emperor Ming was overjoyed and, without fear of what others might say, he conferred the title of marquis upon Tao Feng, a woman, for the first time. Meng Dingfeng became the one who lived off him.
During this period, Meng Liu gave birth to several more children. From the middle period on, Emperor Ming and his son began to feel anxious because there were too many children and there were not enough to go around for the throne.
Emperor Ming was well aware of the painful lessons in history of brothers fighting each other and family infighting caused by the struggle for the throne.
He is worried that his grandchildren will follow the same path in the future, especially when these children are born to the same father and mother, the tearing of family ties will be even more cruel.
As a father, Fu Wenting could not imagine how he would face such a situation in the future, and he did not want to see his children become enemies because of power and status.
After discussing it, the father and son decided that there were too few thrones, so they had to conquer all the surrounding countries so that they could distribute them to the children when they grew up.
Fu Wenting had a wife and children, and he was unwilling to go out to fight. Emperor Ming had no choice but to go himself and arranged for his son to supervise the country. The fifty-year-old man began to fight all over the world.
Meng Liu stayed in this world until the children grew up and left only after Fu Wenting passed away.
