The Princess of Northern Land

Lin Ziyin, modern day mechanical professor especially hired by the school, had the potential for great achievement in her field. However, due to family reasons, she could only treat her mechanical research and teaching as a secondary job, pouring all her energy into the farm and the food business before. Despite her low-key approach, she was unable to suppress her sister's rage, and a furious car crash sent her straight to ancient times. Indeed, she had excellent character, so why did the heavens send her to the sparsely populated Northern Land. Known as the death zone, those who were banished to this borderland would spend their lives and perish there. However, Lin Ziyin was quite satisfied with her own identity. Even if she had lost the protection of her parents, she still had the protection of her siblings and grandfather. Of course, she also had her younger brother and nephew at home who needed her protection. This abundance of familial love was enough to compensate for the hardships caused by poverty at home. Poverty, she wasn't afraid of, as she had experience in farming. With large swathes of uncultivated land, the Northern Land was practically custom-made for her. The heavy workload didn't matter either, she was proficient in designing all kinds of small tools. Whether it was the emperor's absurdity, not providing aid to the border king, or the shameless Tatars that would rob them frequently, none of these posed a problem for her. She could think of solutions for everything. It wasn't uncommon for the border king to tell everyone how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful queen!

Chapter 354: Reform (1)_1

"Prince, the Imperial Court is becoming more and more excessive. The grains and forage sent to the Northern Land in recent years are decreasing, and now even the military salary is in severe shortage. Our Northern Land has a small population and chilly weather. Other places can grow crops twice a year, whereas here we can only grow for one season, and we can't even grow wheat and rice. If we only rely on our taxes, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for long." Another military general spoke angrily.

Chu Suifeng's brows furrowed slightly. The generals felt uneasy, and how could he not?

The Northern Land was his territory, and the late emperor decreed that neither he nor his descendants shall return to the capital. The emperor's recent decree was like stabbing him behind his back. With the Tatars lurking at the border, without provisions, would the Imperial Court not fear losing the fort or believe that losing a Northern Land does not matter to Daqin?
