She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Ye Xinyan’s concluding remarks: "Where there is one, there will be two; with simplicity as the foundation, precision and complexity will eventually follow. No matter the industry or the type of tools and equipment, they can evolve from simple to complex, from low to high efficiency, as long as there is enough time and the right environment, they can reach the pinnacle."

And patent law protection is one of those conditions. As long as practical new technologies are developed, they can be converted into silver. With profit in view, there is no fear of a lack of intelligent and talented individuals willing to put in the hard work.

Prime Minister Han, think about it, if this development continues, in the near future, the agricultural tools of ten households in the Great Xia Dynasty could match the efficiency of a hundred households’ tools in other nations or in the past. How much would the court’s grain reserves increase?

With advanced engineering tools, what used to require drafting a hundred thousand civilians for labor, now only needs ten thousand. How much food and lodging silver tael could this save for the court? And those civilians who do not have to serve labor, engaging in agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce in the countryside, how much wealth and circulation could they create?

Ye Xinyan spoke with enthusiasm, sharing everything she knew. As for whether there was excess or redundancy, that was for Han Yanhui to sift through and take what was useful, discarding what was not. Given his many years as an official and as Prime Minister, he certainly had the capacity to do so.

She had racked her brains for a way to lead a quieter life in the future, without being disturbed by court affairs.

Having arrived in this era, apart from the first two years of hardship and occasional endurance, Ye Xinyan’s time was mostly at her discretion.

But this did not cause Ye Xinyan to lose sight of her place—this was not a modern world a thousand years later with various securities, accommodating different attitudes towards life to the greatest extent. Not everyone could express themselves and earn a living based on their abilities.

In that world, standing out through one’s abilities was a way to gain recognition and approval, and thus, a path to promotion and a pay raise.

This era lacked such tolerance, especially towards women. Moreover, she had her own secrets that could not be made public, making it impractical to attract too much attention.
