And most importantly, the entire East Continent had achieved true unity in Ye Tian's hands. Now, the Tiangong Empire had overshadowed the four seas, and controlled the entire continent's rivers and mountains. All of this was due to Ye Tian.

In the hearts of the civil and military officials, Ye Tian's prestige was unparalleled.

The initial discrimination towards Ye Tian had long since disappeared. Adding on Ye Tian's benevolence, after gaining power, he did not conduct a large-scale liquidation on the officials of Tiangong Empire, which made these ministers even more worried.

Seeing that Ye Tian had returned, all the ministers were extremely excited. It was as if they saw an old friend that they had not seen for a long time. One by one, they went up to Ye Tian and greeted him.

After a while, when everyone learned that Ye Tian was also going to participate in the morning assembly, they escorted Ye Tian to the palace hall.

Since Ye Tian was the Minister of Government and Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order at the same time, he naturally stood at the forefront. When Lin Qiyu arrived at the great hall, she couldn't help but extend her hand and punch Ye Tian on the shoulder when she saw that Ye Tian had also come to attend the morning assembly. She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you in the great hall for quite some time. At first glance, I'm still not used to seeing you. "

Ye Tian rolled his eyes and said, "When I was in the main hall discussing politics, you were only an instructor at the Military Court Training Hall. You didn't have the qualifications to enter this hall then."

Seeing Ye Tian's despicable attitude, Lin Qiyu snorted in disdain and said, "Don't be complacent. Eldest Imperial Princess already knows about the good things you've done in other places. In my opinion, if Eldest Imperial Princess doesn't give you a good beating, she definitely won't give up."

Saying this, Lin Qiyu seemed to be angry. She pushed her way to Ye Tian with her chest puffed up, gritted her teeth and said, "I say, you are getting bigger and bigger. Are you going to other planes with your children? I won't say anything if you play with women, having children is not a small matter. Don't forget your current identity. If no accidents happens, the person to be the next emperor of the entire Tiangong Empire will definitely be your child. But now that you have given birth to a child from a Barbara, where would we, these real wives, put our faces? Furthermore, who knows what sort of scenes will emerge for the future Emperor Candidates. "

Ye Tian glared and swallowed his saliva. He didn't dare to say anything else.

When this matter reached Tiangong Continent, it actually became a stain on his, Ye Tian's, and the more he described it, the darker it got. Who would have thought that the desire for Jaffy Linda in her Lunar Descent Side Sea had developed into a political problem.

However, Lin Qiyu's words also gave Ye Tian a reminder. As for the children of emperors, they would all have to deal with the question of inheriting the throne. After all, this was a true power and position; who would not want to seize the highest position?

He had to be careful in this matter. Arale was only five years old and was already a Rank 15 Magic Master. Her future achievements were limitless. According to Ye Tian's estimation, whether it was Chu Yue giving birth to a child in the future or Lin Qiyu giving birth to a child in the future, neither of them would be a match for Arale.

At that time, there might be some sort of indescribable conflict and separation between the few children.

Ye Tian had never considered this before, but now, he was moved. The issue of children was related to politics. This had happened in almost all dynasties in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian thought to himself: "It seems that I have to plan ahead for some things in the future."

At this moment, the palace maid on the high platform in front said in a loud voice, "Her Majesty has arrived."

The civil and military officials immediately bowed down and said loudly, "Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live the Emperor!"

However, Lin Qiyu, who was beside him, could not help but laugh. She said in a low voice, "You are already a Prince Consort, and according to the imperial regulations, you are already a royal. You don't need to bow anymore."

After saying that, Lin Qiyu paused for a moment and stood up straight. She then looked at Chu Yue, who was standing on the platform, and continued, "It might sound strange, but you should be sitting next to Eldest Imperial Princess. As for the Prince Consort of the Empire, as long as the Princess ascends the throne, she will assume the role of Supervisor, sometimes even if her authority is higher than that of the Princess. Could it be that Eldest Imperial Princess did it on purpose? "

Lin Qiyu covered her mouth with her small hand and took a deep breath with a face full of surprise. She then said, "Oh my god, no way. Could it be that Eldest Imperial Princess doesn't like you anymore? You don't intend to be Prince Consort anymore? "

Ye Tian felt a bit awkward when he heard Lin Qiyu's words. He raised his head and looked at the stage. Seeing that Chu Yue didn't even meet his gaze, he felt a little disappointed again. Ye Tian swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The taste of that saliva seemed to be full of unspeakable bitterness.

But soon, Ye Tian saw Princess Chu Yu come up to the stage from the side door. She stood beside Eldest Imperial Princess in a gentle and quiet manner. The way she looked at Ye Tian was a bit erratic. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Soon after, the officials started to play their piece in sequence. Chu Yue sat on the platform and listened to the ministers play their reports one by one.

From Ye Tian's perspective, these were all problems and measures in various aspects of the empire, involving agricultural and farmland water conservancy, fiscal and tax revenues, public opinion and customs, engineering and so on. For someone like Ye Tian, who already manages trade, politics and military in other planes, these indications are not a big problem anymore. It also basically made Ye Tian unable to develop any more interest.

What surprised Ye Tian the most was that the various types of cars produced by Royal Vehicle Factory had already begun to be popularized across the entire continent. As for the national highway construction, it had been implemented on a large scale and was connected to the highways between the capitals of the various prefectures and provinces. As of now, it was basically completed.

Minister of Industry and Government Duan Mulee also made a very tempting suggestion. Right now, the highway from Shangjing City all the way to the west, to the capital city of Shannan County, Wanzhou City, and the capital city of Tianxi County, Lanzhou City, was completely connected.

After that, they would continue heading west from Lanzhou City, through the Sky Mountain Range and all the way to the West Continent capital city, Najing City. They would build a superhighway that would allow them to pass through the highlands.

After hearing the plan, Chu Yue was slightly moved. She looked at the Minister of Taxation, Ji Yanwenn, and asked: "Master Ji, how much financial investment does this project require?"

Ji Yanwenn replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, from Lanzhou City to Najing City, about 1500 miles, the total project cost is about 230 million taels of silver. However, due to the high altitude construction, the difficulty of the project has increased, so I'm afraid the budget will be increased by one third."

Chu Yue nodded her head, and said: "Can Ministry of Tax Administration take out this three hundred million silver taels?"1

Before Ji Yanwenn could reply, the Trade Minister Hu Fuzhen opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it would be unfair if it was completely borne by the Ministry of Tax Administration. This highway directly connects the East Continent and the West Continent. All the trading, caravan, goods and personnel exchanges no longer need to pass through the rugged mountain roads of the God Demon Valley, not only convenient for the East Continent, but also brought about a very great economic promotion for the Fran Empire. "

Hearing Hu Fuzhen's words, Chu Yue's brows furrowed as she asked: "You mean to say that we should ask for a portion of the silver from Fran Empire?"

Hu Fuzhen nodded his head and said: "That's right, in reality, three fifths of the Nalan highway is within the West Continent territory, and our East Continent is only at two-fifths of it. Not only do we need to get our Fran Empire to fork out a portion of the silver, we should also take out more than half of it."

Chu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Sophie has just become an empress less than a year ago, so her financial situation isn't too good. How about this, I will write a letter to Sophie asking her to bear only a fifth of the total expenses. The rest will be covered by the Empire's Ministry of Tax Administration."

Hearing Chu Yue's decision, Hu Fuzhen didn't know what to say anymore.

Duan Mulee looked at Chu Yue's calm but faintly determined face and said he had no objections.

The Nalan high speed could be said to be the biggest project in the entire Tiangong Continent to date. Ye Tian was in favor of this point.

Ministers like Ji Yanwenn, Duan Mulee, and Hu Fuzhen must have all passed the Ministry of Government Administration's rigorous exams in the beginning in order to be admitted into the government. Their brains and scope could not be described as not being intelligent or knowledgeable. As long as they were guided, they would be able to play an obviously more important role than ordinary people.

The so-called leader was someone who had his own mind and vision. He was far, far better than an ordinary person.

According to Ye Tian's intentions, the Nalan highway was only the first step. In the future, he should further open the Huaxi County Capital's Shuzhou City, all the way to the Eli Empire Capital's Ejing City, and then continue to the west, all the way until he reached the highway of the Deo Empire Capital's Laijing.

With these two highways, one for the south and one for the north, parallel to each other, not only were the economic and trade exchanges between the two continents more efficiently, the movement of people was also more frequent, and was conducive to communication and integration between different nations. This was extremely beneficial to the rule of the entire Tiangong Continent, as well as to the consolidation and stability of Chu Yue's regime.

Ye Tian estimated that as the economic, trade and human traffic between the two continents became more frequent, perhaps the Nalan and Eli highways would soon be unable to meet the needs of people and traffic. At that time, they would need to build a high speed rail.

Thinking about the high-speed rail, Ye Tian became excited for no reason.

In his previous life on the Chinese mainland, the high speed rail network was as dense as a spider web, and it gave a huge boost to the country's economy. Ye Tian was very clear about this point.

Just as he was thinking about this, one of the ministers stepped forward, bowed to Chu Yue, and said, "This official has something to do."

Chu Yue glanced at the minister and said, "Play."
