I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 278 - 7: The Yanxing Reign and the Advent of a Golden Age

Chapter 278: Chapter 7: The Yanxing Reign and the Advent of a Golden Age

Only after experiencing chaos firsthand can one truly appreciate how precious a stable life is;

——The current Great Han is just like that.

The legends of Gu Chen are simply too many.

Through word of mouth, his death now has had an excessively fatal impact on the Great Han.

Zhuge Liang noticed this.

After deep contemplation, Zhuge Liang submitted a memorial to Liu Shan, requesting to change the reign title.

In this current era.

Changing the reign title symbolizes a complete renewal.

No matter what, he must address the sorrow among the people of Great Han.

Now the Great Han is on the rise, and there must be no disturbances.

After hearing the seriousness of the matter.

Even though Liu Shan was reluctant to erase the prosperous era achieved by Liu Bei and Gu Chen in Zhangwu, he had to choose to change the reign title for the sake of the realm.

In fact, from Gu Yi’s point of view, the current Liu Shan, compared to the original history, had undergone some changes.

Perhaps because the situation had changed, Liu Shan did not have to face so many crises, and he seemed more sentimental.

The sixteenth year of Zhangwu, July;

Liu Shan offered sacrifices in Luoyang to the former emperors of the Great Han, as well as Gu Xi and Gu Chen.

Then officially announced a change of reign title to "Yanxing".

Implying——

The Great Han should prosper!

And granted a general amnesty.

This indeed alleviated some of the sorrow caused by Gu Chen’s death.

After all, no matter how unwilling the people were to accept Gu Chen’s death.

But the deceased is gone;

——All that’s left for them is to keep moving forward.

Gu Yi did not choose to act hastily.

For him, it was indeed the most suitable time to act for the sake of the realm at the moment.

There was no need to worry about other things.

With a modern perspective, Gu Yi could still improve the productivity and overall level of the Great Han.

——But for the Gu Clan.

Acting now was not an ideal timing.

After all, the Gu Clan was already at its peak, and in the entire realm, no one could threaten the Gu Clan, while the Great Han was prospering.

Acting at this time would merely be icing on the cake for the Gu Clan.

But it had no essential meaning.

Moreover, with people like Zhuge Liang and Zhang Hua alive.

Even if he manipulated personally, could he really surpass them?

The consumption of a full three hundred thousand achievement points was something that would be extremely painful for Gu Yi.

He needed to find the most suitable time.

And Gu Yi was continuously observing the situation of the entire realm.

The impact brought by the revitalization of the Great Han was too great, and with Gu Chen, who could resist historical corrections, now dead, Gu Yi did not believe this realm would remain peaceful.

....

Time passed swiftly.

The arrangements Gu Chen made within the Han Dynasty court were overly thorough.

And with Zhuge Liang as the pillar of support.

No disturbances occurred within the Great Han, and everything moved in the right direction.

Zhuge Liang’s abilities in internal affairs need no elaboration.

Especially after being educated by the Gu Clan, Zhuge Liang’s skills now even surpassed those of the past.

At least in terms of water conservancy;

Zhuge Liang could be said to have fully inherited the talents of Gu Kang in the past;

As the power of the Great Han gradually recovered, Zhuge Liang began the second large-scale reform in water conservation.

He set a plan for several years.

——Spreading gradually from the Capital Region to all parts of the realm.

This strategy was already extremely advanced.

The emergence of the Gu Clan has ultimately accelerated the liberation of people’s mindsets, which has had a huge impact on the development of the entire Kyushu.

——What truly amazed the people was Deng Ai.

Since Gu Chen traveled through the Shu Region and handed over the water conservancy plan of the Shu Region to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai had been tirelessly initiating various reforms in the Shu Region.

He was someone extremely eager to establish achievements;

Although the current situation no longer allowed him to fight on the battlefield, he was also suitable for managing water conservancy and governing a region.

Gu Chen had long seen Deng Ai’s character issues.

He left many restrictions on him.

This also prevented Deng Ai from creating other disturbances and allowed him to focus more on water conservancy.

And now——

The arrangements in the Shu Region had reached the time for fruition.

This seemed to be a signal.

Indicating that the era of prosperity for the Great Han had thoroughly arrived. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Although the Sichuan and Shu regions were treacherous in terrain, they had been called the Land of Abundance since ancient times.

With the prevention of rebellions, resolution of the gentry issues, and the restoration of waterways, the development of the Shu Region was extremely rapid.

This brought unimaginable help to the entire Great Han.

The current configuration within the Han court could undoubtedly be described as the pinnacle.

Figures like Zhuge Liang, Zhang Hua, Yang Hu, Zhong Hui, and the seventh generation disciples of the Gu Clan, all of whom have their names recorded in the annals of history.

These individuals would utilize the national strength of the Great Han to its peak.

Continuously developing the overall power of the Great Han without affecting the stability of the grand scheme.

——Until the third year of Yanxing;

"Elementary Learning" had already spread throughout the entire Guanzhong, including Jizhou State;

Perhaps this was the best of times.

An emperor like Liu Shan, with such a character, complemented by this group of capable ministers.

Once the right direction was set.

A dynasty would rapidly develop.

Zhuge Liang and the disciples of the Gu Clan were clinging tightly to the civil service governance, though their deterrent force was far less compared to Gu Chen in the past.

But with this group around.

The governance of the Great Han would not face major issues.

And Gu Chen’s conquest of the Barbarians before his death had granted the Great Han enough time for development.

In just a few years, the entire Great Han had taken on a completely new look.
