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

The matter of moving the capital was a foregone conclusion because King Ling was too strong, leaving no room for maneuver.

No matter how the officials tried to persuade him, or how the nobles of Chang'an openly opposed or threatened him secretly; or how the Imperial Astronomical Observatory used the theory of dragon veins, saying that Chang'an was where the dragon veins were and moving the capital would be detrimental to the country's destiny, Prince Ling ignored them all.

Ling Moxiao's attitude is clear. Either you support him in moving the capital to Youzhou, or you stay in Chang'an. There is no other choice.

Of course, there were many people secretly making trouble. Some wanted to support the son of the former deposed emperor to take the throne. Ling Moxiao directly caught them all and executed them for treason.

There were also people who wanted to assassinate Prince Ling, and they also died miserably.

Prince Ling's attitude in Chang'an was very clear. He treated the people with kindness and the soldiers with equal leniency.

Even the Imperial City Army that he had fought against before, he did not pursue the matter after the war.

He even respectfully sent General Xie away when he came to help, and told him that if Liangzhou had difficulties in fighting the barbarians, he should report to the court and he would send troops to support them.

There was absolutely no intention to seize General Xie's military power.

He used both kindness and force to treat all officials. As for those old censors who had refused to move the capital despite their advice to the death, he did not force them to bang their heads against the pillar like the King of Wu did. Instead, he sincerely told them his plan, hoping that they would support him.

He was ruthless towards the old-established aristocrats and nobles in Chang'an, and anyone who dared to hinder the relocation of the capital would be severely punished.

Before he returned to Chang'an, he sent the entire Ministry of Works there to build the imperial palace.

When the officials heard this, they realized that Youzhou hadn't even built a palace, so how could they move? It would take at least three to five years to move, so how could they just move it?

Prince Ling bluntly said that Chang'an was a ruin when the country was founded, but the Great Xia Dynasty was established anyway!

The current Youzhou is much stronger than Chang'an at that time. Besides, he also has to fight Goryeo. How can he have the time to waste three to five years with you?

At the same time, an imperial decree was issued to the whole country, stating that the imperial examination the following spring would be held in Youzhou, and candidates from all over the world could go to Youzhou in advance to prepare for the examination.

It can be said that the current Youzhou City, except for the lack of a completed imperial palace, is not much worse than Chang'an! Especially after the expansion of the outer city.

All officials knew that Prince Ling was powerful. If he wasn't powerful, he wouldn't have become the God of War, nor would he have destroyed the Northern Frontier so quickly. But they didn't expect that he could be so arbitrary!

Even something as big as moving the capital was done so stubbornly.

But they still have the strength, they have military power in their hands, a full treasury, no shortage of food, and they are popular with the people.

Even Youzhou already had its own political team. If officials from Chang'an did not want to go, officials from Youzhou would soon take their place.

What can the officials do? They can only agree with a bitter face!

Not only do they have to agree, but they also have to help the new emperor find a way to make the relocation of the capital smoother.

Prince Ling's attitude was very clear. He was not afraid of rebellion by the gentry and nobles, so there was no need to tie these people up and take them to Youzhou.

If you don't want to go, then stay in Chang'an. But if you dare to rebel, then the only way out is to be beheaded. He will not show any mercy to the gentry and nobles.

The plan to move the capital was quickly made. Ling Moxiao assigned the detailed tasks to the officials and left Jia Si to guard the city with the troops, while he himself wanted to rush back to Youzhou City as soon as possible.

Shen Dongsu, who had already received the news, had already started building the palace. In fact, she had been prepared. Ever since she made up her mind not to return to Chang'an, she had expected this day to come.

The materials for building the imperial city have been prepared long ago. With the help of disciples from the Mo Sect and the cooperation from the Ministry of Works, the palace to be used for Ling Moxiao's coronation ceremony next year will definitely be built.

Things like the Temple of Heaven used for sacrifices, the squares and avenues for military parades, government agencies and so on already exist in Youzhou City, and they were built according to the highest standards and do not need to be rebuilt at all.

As for the imperial mausoleum that the royal family values ​​most, Ling Moxiao will definitely not move the mausoleum. It will be enough to leave some royal family members in Chang'an to guard the mausoleum.

As for the new imperial mausoleum, well, she and Ling Moxiao still have many years to live, so they can just build it slowly.

The harem can be renovated slowly. Anyway, she can continue to live in Prince Ling's Mansion with her children. Ling Moxiao does not have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines to accommodate, nor does he need various royal gardens. It would be much easier to build a palace that simply symbolizes imperial power.

When the news spread, the most excited people were the people of Youzhou. They never imagined that the Youzhou refugees who were at the bottom of the class a few years ago and even surviving was a luxury would become citizens of the imperial city a few years later!

For those people who are still in the refugee areas and have no citizenship, it does not matter whether they are farmers or workers, the most important thing is to get citizenship as soon as possible.

They don't want to wait until everyone else becomes a citizen of the imperial city while they themselves are still refugees.

Even the Chang'an girls who were previously sent by the empress dowager to be Ling Moxiao's concubines mustered up the courage to find Chen Luoxue, wanting to formally become citizens. Even if they could not become female officials, they still wanted a formal job.

What they fear is that after their family members move to Youzhou, they will once again become pawns of the family. Now is the best time to change their identity and status.

Fortunately, people these days are relatively simple and honest and do not consider real estate in the capital, otherwise they would take the opportunity to drive up housing prices in the surrounding areas, which would have caused another mess.

Shen Dongsu was a little thankful that Jiang Hong was not in Youzhou. If he was there, he would have taken the opportunity to buy a lot of shops when he knew about the capital relocation. The common people could not think of this, but he certainly could.

Female officials such as Chen Luoxue were worried, as female officials were originally unique to Youzhou, and now Youzhou had become the imperial city.

They will definitely not be recognized by the imperial court, and Youzhou City will not be as free as before. Will women be put in shackles again?

Are female medical staff allowed to exist?

Do workshops still need female workers? Do schools support women's education? These questions are all very realistic.

Princess Ling has the final say in Youzhou City, but not in the capital.

Civil and military officials will use various rules to stop Princess Ling. There is also a rule that concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Princess Ling is not allowed to do anything she is doing now. She can only stay in the harem to take care of the children. What should she do then?

Seeing that people's hearts were wavering, Shen Dongsu took the time to call a meeting of the female officials and solemnly assured them that things would change in the future, but for the better.

King Ling insisted on moving the capital to Youzhou because he wanted to turn the world into Youzhou and implement Youzhou laws, rather than turning Youzhou into another Chang'an.

You are worried about changes, and the people of Chang'an are even more worried. You cannot lose your composure when the turmoil is not yet coming, but you must be prepared to deal with future changes and turmoil.

It was indeed unprecedented for women to serve as officials, but since she had set this precedent and the people of Youzhou had already seen the benefits brought by female officials and female medical staff, it was impossible for them to erase their contributions just because the officials in Chang'an opposed it.

Not only them, but all the dignitaries, officials, gentry, and children from poor families were all in an era of great change.

The wheel of history is rolling forward. What we need to do is to unite as one, break the shackles, and create a brand new path for women all over the world...

This meeting was very useful. Chen Luoxue and others realized a fact: as long as you are useful enough, powerful enough, and have more people supporting you, some of the voices of opposition will eventually be erased.

Maybe this road is long and difficult to walk on, but they have already walked this far under the leadership of Princess Ling, so they must persevere to the end and not be afraid of any difficulties.

Shen Dongsu listed for the female officials what they had to do in the next three years, which was to pay attention to the parts that the court officials did not pay attention to.

Like maternal and child health care, increasing the population, reducing infant mortality, and providing more jobs for women.

Especially in rural areas, if a woman can earn money and support her family, her family status will be relatively improved.

On the other hand, as the status of women in the family improves, the family will support their daughters to marry a few years later and support their daughters to learn a craft, instead of treating their daughters as "money-losing goods"...

We should vigorously promote female medical staff, women's technical schools, train female medical staff who can follow the army on expeditions, improve the hygiene habits of the whole people, especially in remote mountainous areas and areas with high epidemic rates, and completely eliminate the epidemic...

Whatever she said, Chen Luoxue and others would remember. These things might not produce results in one or two years, but ten or twenty years later, people all over the world would see the contributions of the female officials and acknowledge their existence.

As for institutions such as Wanshu Pavilion and Momen Academy, they were also worried that they would not be accepted by the powerful people in Chang'an. Shen Dongsu did not go to comfort them.

You are not little girls who need comfort. This princess has given you an opportunity to step onto the stage. Whether you can stand on the stage of history for a long time depends on your own efforts.

Just as she told Chen Luoxue, no one can predict what Youzhou will become in the future.

The only thing she was sure of was that Daxia was in an era of great change and that the aristocratic families were bound to decline.

The power of the powerful will be weakened, the rise of the poor is right, the old things are bound to be broken, and whether you can grasp the new things depends on your own ability.

Even today, Shen Dongsu still has a very clear understanding that she can be considered a professional in medicine, and in this era, she can also be a master in food.

But in other industries, she is only qualified to be a guide and cannot even be a leader.

The more Ling Moxiao trusted her, the less she dared to give orders. At the same time, after years of development in Youzhou, she realized this more clearly.

You can’t expose something brand new before it grows, otherwise there will be many external forces that will hinder its growth.

Only when it is allowed to grow silently, to be able to shock all things and to have the ability to protect itself, can it be made public.

Just like a cicada buried in the dark underground for many years, it can only fly to the ground after it spins a cocoon and is reborn and grows wings.

Shen Dongsu knew that Chang'an was strongly opposed to the relocation of the capital, and at the same time, those people were afraid of Ling Moxiao and did not dare to blame him.

Then he had to find an excuse to blame for his "reckless" actions, that is, to find someone to take the blame. And she was obviously suitable.

"It must be Princess Ling who bewitched Prince Ling." I believe this rumor has spread throughout Chang'an.

She was not afraid of offending those powerful people before, and she is even less likely to be afraid now. No matter what you say, the more fun you make, the more Ling Moxiao can realize which one of Chang'an and Youzhou is more suitable to be the capital.

Ling Moxiao originally disliked those people in Chang'an, and he wished to smash the powerful, noble families, and aristocratic families in Chang'an to pieces and crush them again.

Previously, the previous emperor was killed by the deposed emperor, and the party that deposed the emperor was naturally involved in this matter.

When Prince Ling fought a battle with the deposed emperor in Chang'an, these people either stood by and watched, or openly stood on the side of the deposed emperor, although Ling Moxiao did not hold them accountable afterwards.

Because he is determined to return to Youzhou to fight against Goryeo. But if you continue to make trouble and completely anger him, the situation will be difficult to predict.

So Shen Dongsu didn't regard Chang'an as any pressure at all. Instead, she heard that the Empress Dowager, well, she was really long-lived!

She saw off three descendants within one year: the late emperor, the crown prince, and the deposed emperor, yet she is still alive and well.

She was the one who most supported Ling Moxiao's move of the capital, but her requirement was that her palace should be built first and she should be among the first to arrive in Youzhou.

At the same time, he advised Ling Moxiao that it didn't make sense for him to have only one woman in the harem after becoming emperor.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the women she sent before, but she has to be the one to screen the first talent show.

Besides, everyone is against moving the capital, but the Lu family supports him. As long as he makes use of the Lu family and has the support of the Lu family, moving the capital will be much smoother...

Ling Moxiao listened to her patiently, and then said that the harem in Youzhou would take several years to build, and Youzhou was too cold and not suitable for the elderly to live in. The Empress Dowager should live in Chang'an first and come to pick her up after the harem was built.

At the same time, he clearly stated that after he ascended the throne, he would focus on state affairs. As foreign enemies had not been eliminated and internal troubles had not been resolved, he had no intention of holding a beauty contest and the matter of a beauty contest did not need to be mentioned again.

As for punishing the Lu family, that was an order issued by the late emperor himself. How could he go against the late emperor's order since he had not yet ascended the throne?

In a word, you should just live in Chang'an and don't make any trouble. I will not deprive you of the honor that the Grand Empress Dowager deserves. But if you want to cause trouble in Youzhou, you'd better give up as soon as possible!

The Empress Dowager was both angry and confused, and privately scolded him for being ungrateful and treating Shen Dongsu, a peasant girl, as a treasure.

When they heard that Prince Ling had rejected the Empress Dowager, those girls from noble families who had been trying to please her suddenly stopped trying to please her, which made the Empress Dowager very angry again.

I thought this was a chance for the Lu family to rise again, but I didn't expect Ling Moxiao to be so stubborn.

Ling Moxiao felt that the things in Chang'an were all energy-consuming and troublesome, so he should bring Mr. Pang with him, as he was the best at handling these things.

As for himself, he wished he could fly back to Youzhou immediately.

I don't know how Dabao and Xiaobao are doing. I heard that teething and fever will affect the child's appetite, so they must have lost a lot of weight.

If it weren't for the trouble in Chang'an, he would have been able to destroy Goryeo this year, and would have destroyed Silla and Japan within three years.

But now he has to start all over again, and after he ascended the throne, he is not as comfortable leading the army in person as before.

When he got angry, he summoned all the officials and asked them to bring out the rules for moving the capital quickly, quickly, quickly!

Compared with the officials in Moji, the merchants were much faster. Once they saw that moving the capital was a foregone conclusion, the big trading companies did not care about the ice and snow and immediately rushed to Youzhou.

At the same time, I envied the Jiang family's good luck again. Who would have thought that they would rely on their daughter to marry a third-class marquis.

The Jiang family, who had just established a foothold in the Jiangnan business world, followed Prince Ling and were not only granted a title but also became the largest merchant in the new imperial city.

The merchants who arrived at Youzhou first soon discovered a huge market gap in Youzhou City. There were no brothels or gambling houses here!

Oh my God! How can a royal city be called a royal city if it doesn't have brothels, whores and gambling houses?

Immediately, someone prepared to buy land and build a building, and at the same time sent people to Jiangnan to buy a group of trained girls.

They are going to open the first brothel, and huge profits are waiting for them in the new imperial city!

But when they asked the official, he pressed the manager's head against the stone tablet with the Youzhou Iron Law engraved on it and cursed:

"You don't want to live anymore, do you? Read it carefully, copy it once, and memorize it after copying it!"

"Youzhou City completely prohibits human trafficking, prostitution in brothels, and gambling in casinos. We hate you country bumpkins from other places the most. You don't know any rules at all!"

I'm the manager of the largest business in Chang'an! How dare you call me a country bumpkin!

But isn’t this Youzhou Iron Law too unique?

Since when did it become illegal to run a brothel? From ancient times to the present, brothels have always been the largest tax-collecting industry in the local area!
