The court's political affairs are handled by Chancellor Chen, while the Ministry of Revenue is managed by Minister Feng.
Jiang Shaohua spent five years consolidating her rule on the Dragon Throne. Only then did she begin political reform, purging the officials. It's hard to say how long this process will take, as Da Liang has no precedent for it. It might show results in one or two years, or it could take three to five years, a decade, eight years, or even longer.
Jiang Shaohua is not in the least bit anxious; she is still young and has plenty of time.
In the autumn of the fifth year of Zhaoping, Da Liang was blessed with favorable weather, and the new grain variety implemented in the south yielded a bumper harvest. The people in the Northern Land have finally made it through, and most can now fill their stomachs. This year's autumn taxation on farmland was particularly substantial, setting a record high for the Ministry of Revenue.
