The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Many of the old farmers in Youzhou City today were those who fled south. Because they were too old and had no energy or food left over, they were unable to escape and hid in the nearby mountains and forests.

At that time, they envied those fellow villagers who had escaped and felt that they were just waiting to die if they stayed.

Either die in the hands of the Tartars, die in the mouths of wild beasts, or starve to death or freeze to death in winter.

Unexpectedly, since King Ling came to Youzhou, there were fewer and fewer Tartars and wild beasts, so he moved them out of the mountains and forests.

Then Princess Ling came to Youzhou to distribute relief food, briquettes, and clothing to keep out the cold...

During spring sowing time, the fields were harvested, grain seeds and cattle were rented, homesteads were planned for them, and new houses were built.

Not only were the reclaimed fields exempted from grain taxes for three years, but the government also built roads and canals, and each village built a water tanker to divert water from the river.

Major workshops are recruiting people everywhere, and even old guys like them can do tasks such as twisting hemp rope, peeling bark, and chopping grass.

The work points earned can be exchanged for supplies at government-run markets, such as sugar, salt, oil, salted fish, etc. that were previously unaffordable.

Later, I could exchange my work points for some tastes every now and then. Every time Jiang's Trading Company came to Youzhou City, there was still money left to buy some new things.

Buy two silk flowers for my little granddaughter, pull out two pieces of brightly colored fabric, and buy some furniture for the house...

Looking back on two years ago, the old people all feel that their current life is better than they could have dreamed of before.

They knew very well that all of this was given by King Ling and Princess Ling, and the generals who defended the city before coming to Youzhou had knocked out the bones and sucked out the marrow from them.

And Prince Ling and Princess really let them live the good life they dreamed of.

Therefore, the people are willing to send their sons to serve as soldiers, instead of drafting young men into the army as before.

I am willing to do corvee work arranged by the government, and I am willing to let my daughter go to the medical college run by Princess Ling.

When they saw Youzhou soldiers passing by, they no longer dispersed and fled home to hide.

Instead, he excitedly took out food from home and chased it to the roadside to give to the soldiers.

In other places, it may be said that "bandits are like combing a comb and soldiers are like shaving", but in Youzhou, when the bandits are gone and the soldiers are coming, the whole village is happy.

Soldiers will also repay the people. Whenever they see anyone in need of help, they will come forward without saying a word.

During the autumn harvest, he helped the people harvest, and during the spring plowing, he helped the people dig ditches. If the old man fell, the passing soldiers would immediately carry him to the hospital.

If there is a soldier in the family, the military camp will give them a house sign saying 'Military Family Home'. This family is the pride of the whole village.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Youzhou, those who have soldiers in their families are more respected than those who have scholars in their families.

After more than two years of hard work, Ling Moxiao finally united the entire Youzhou into an iron bucket, so that the army and the people were of one mind.

The people knew how to be grateful, so when they saw Princess Ling's carriage passing by, they all stopped and saluted with respect.

Shen Dongsu looked out the window and saw plows, sledges, oxen, wide and compacted dirt roads, and ponds filled with water from rivers.

He nodded happily and said to Yue Jian: "The government has done a good job. If Youzhou wants to prosper, it must pay attention to farming."

Yue Jian said: "Because we drove away the nobles, as long as the nobles enclose their land, ordinary farmers will never have such good land."

Shen Dongsu sighed softly, Youzhou was just a state in Daxia, and it could hardly be defended. The emperor and the queen fought for several rounds before the nobles agreed to let King Ling take over.

It took them more than two years to achieve the grand occasion before them. But except for Youzhou, most of the fertile land in the entire Daxia was taken away by the nobles.

Ling Moxiao went to Jeju and other prefectural cities last year. His thunderous methods only restrained the noble clans from joining forces, but it was still not possible to solve the problem from the root.

She secretly made up her mind to make Youzhou the most powerful city in Daxia. Only in this way could Ling Moxiao kill the Tatars externally and bring peace to the gentry internally.

If you want to develop, you have to attract talents. She asked Yue Jian: "How do you attract scholars to Youzhou?"

Tsukimi was confused: "What are the scholars doing here?"

Shen Dongsu laughed. She should ask Mr. Pang this question. In Tsukimi's view, scholars are not as useful as craftsmen.

But in order to break the gentry's monopoly on education, it was necessary to attract scholars to Youzhou, build a college, and cultivate their own talents.

The road in Youzhou is indeed well built, much better than the road she took from Guangzhou to Youzhou. At that time, people who were bumpy in the carriage every day could make you jump.

The small tea stove Yue Jian prepared in the carriage was just a decoration. She and Yue Jian rode in a carriage. They would rather go horseback riding every day, which would cause thigh pain, than ride in a carriage.

The official roads in Youzhou are so wide and solid that there is no mud even if it has just rained.

Two rows of poplar trees were planted on both sides of the road. The poplar trees grow quickly and can become luxuriant in a few years.

You can imagine how many passers-by would enjoy the shade under this tree when it’s hot in midsummer.

Not only were the roads well built, the carriages were also improved, and were renovated by Li Nianyu. Shock-absorbing springs have been added, and the body has been made lighter.

Now riding a carriage is not painful at all, but rather a pleasure.

Further to the outskirts of the city, there are large tracts of wheat fields. The wheat harvest is still more than a month away. At this time, the wheat ears have grown very big.

When the wind blows, it makes a sound like rustling waves, and the aroma of wheat is fragrant.

After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the military camp.

Outside the camp were people from Jiang's Trading Company. What she didn't expect was that Jiang Hong also came.

Jiang Hong arrived at the seaside base by boat at the end of March. He told Chen Luoxue about the goods that the maritime merchant wanted to buy, and then followed Shen Linzhong to Youzhou.

Shen Dongsu was surprised: "You want to go on an expedition with the prince?"

Jiang Hong smiled and nodded:

"Back to Princess, this matter is of great importance and the Jiang family attaches great importance to it. Prince Meng will not give up and gives us this opportunity. I am afraid that the management below will not be able to handle things well, so it is better for me to lead the team myself."

He then said apologetically: "After arriving in Youzhou, I went to the camp to organize my team. I didn't go into the city to pay my respects to the princess. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Shen Dongsu smiled and said it didn't matter. She was busy these days and the Jiang family came to the palace to give gifts every now and then. How could she choose this reason?

She took the opportunity to ask: "How are your sister and Bao'er?"

Jiang Hong smiled and said: "Bao'er is much stronger thanks to the medicine given by the princess. Sister is also very good. Those things in the Liu family can no longer affect her now."

It seems that Mrs. Jiang has completely figured it out. This is good. She now has money and people, and Bao'er, who has a distinguished status, is in good health. Liu Hou and Mr. Xiao's troubles are all a show.

Thinking back to when they first met Mrs. Jiang, the mother and daughter seemed like pitiful little people who had been kicked out of the house. In just a few years, the situation has changed drastically.

It seems that as long as a woman can cut off her love and calm down, her life will be much better.

Jiang Hong then talked about Chang'an's business, focusing on the auction house and door-to-door shopping, which was deeply loved by the ladies of Chang'an.

Nowadays, door-to-door shopping magazines have become semi-monthly. A series of new products are released every two months, and they are sold out quickly.

Jiang's method of selling luxury goods according to Yidong Sujiao is both limited edition and membership-based. Some high-end items can only be purchased by senior members.

The higher the threshold and the higher the price, the more ladies and gentlemen flock to it.
