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

Fortunately, there is still a Chen Xingyao in Chang'an.

Chen Xingyao once again deeply realized that when you take over a troublesome matter, don't rush to deal with it, wait a while.

Troubled things will turn into smooth things on their own.

This was his usual attitude towards things, and although he was scolded by his father for being "lazy" earlier, he didn't want to explain it, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

The words he said most often to his subordinates were "Don't be anxious", "Why rush?" and "Take your time."

Just like this time, I received an important task from the emperor to move the capital. When I first returned to Chang'an, I felt it was such a hassle!

Almost all the powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an can be related to him. I don't know how they figured it out, but they actually said that he was a favorite of the emperor and empress.

Red man? The one who got famous?

When can I have a say in front of the Emperor and Empress? I do whatever they ask me to do, but I don't get any benefits.

That couple never treated me as a human being!

Anyway, the powerful people have determined that Lord Chen has a keen eye and, like the Jiang family, he had already gotten close to His Majesty a long time ago, and now he has been entrusted with the important task of moving the capital.

However, when Chen Xingyao just returned to Chang'an, most of the powerful people did not want to move the capital. The emperor said that he did not want to compromise and wanted them to stay in Chang'an.

What Chen Xingyao understood was that it would be better for these old trash not to go to Youzhou.

After all, the household registration in Youzhou is so precious that even he had to work hard for a long time to earn it, right? The emperor wants to give it to you now, but you still don’t want it!

Well, then I'll cross off the item "urging the dignitaries to move the capital" on my to-do list.

Let’s look at the next one. Well, Chen Xingyao understood what his mission was. He implemented the Youzhou Law and took back the land and mountains bestowed by the previous emperor from the hands of the powerful.

Hiss, Chen Xingyao took a breath of cold air, this is going to be difficult!

Although he had Jia Si's help and was able to fight and rob, it was still too difficult. Not to mention others, he didn't even have the confidence to fight back the territory passed down from his ancestors from his father, let alone ask others for it.

If things are difficult to handle, then take it easy.

But he couldn't let others find out that he was being lazy, especially the Queen. If she knew that he was not doing his job well, the consequences would be very serious.

So Chen Xingyao went to the palace every day regardless of rain or shine, watching the palace servants pack their things and get ready to go.

After a few days, he would go find Jia Si again, express the difficulty of the mission, and then invite Jia Si and several Youzhou officials to have a drink and curse the powerful. Well, he could still get the job done.

Then this chaos lasted for half a year. By the time all the officials had moved to Youzhou and the imperial palace was almost emptied, news from Youzhou was transmitted back to Chang'an at the fastest speed.

Then he discovered that the powerful and influential people who had been unwilling to move before began to come to him and offer to move to Youzhou.

Some people who had previously refused to give up the territory passed down from their ancestors would rather die than surrender it began to voluntarily hand it over. Although they also put forward various demands, Chen Xingyao felt that this was a good start and he could accept it.

The Youzhou Law, which had never been enforced, had already spread among the people. Although the powerful still opposed it, they did not dare to actually break the law.

When he received the emperor's edict, he was praised for his good work, the smooth progress of moving the capital, and his contribution to the implementation of Youzhou laws in Chang'an.

Then he heard his father, who had always looked down on him, patted him on the shoulder and said that the Chen family would be handed over to him from now on.

Not to mention how the dignitaries and officials who stayed in Chang'an tried to please him and flatter him.

Chen Xingyao's face was full of confidence. That's right! I am indeed a favorite of the Emperor and Empress. No matter how difficult the task is, I can complete it!

If you don't believe me, please look ahead. Who wants the naval power in Youzhou? I want it!

Looking further ahead, when the deposed emperor and the deposed crown prince were fighting to the death, who would dare to serve as the imperial envoy to Youzhou to deliver the imperial edict?

It’s me!

Only in the middle of the night when no one knew, Chen Xingyao suddenly jumped up from the bed and slapped himself on the forehead.

No, I haven’t even started the task yet, how come I completed it so smoothly?

As expected, for any troublesome or difficult task, don't rush and take your time.

What does it matter if you can't tell the seeds apart in the spring? As long as you plant them in the ground, they will bloom and bear fruit in the fall.

If Shen Dongsu knew what Chen Xingyao felt, she would definitely roll her eyes.

Do you think this trick can be used on any task? No wonder you kept putting it off when I asked you to do something.

But I have to say, this is also a case of good fortune for fools.

Mo Xiujing once asked Shen Dongsu, are you at ease letting Chen Xingyao go in Chang'an?

After all, the Chen family is still very powerful. If it was Duke Chen who rebelled instead of Duke Su, even Jia Si would not have been able to put an end to the chaos in Chang'an so quickly.

Shen Dongsu smiled and said, "Even if Chen Xingyao had the courage, he wouldn't dare to rebel. That guy is young, but he is a veteran in the workplace. He just wants to slack off and have fun."

"After the chaos in Chang'an, with so much killing, the powerful and common people in Chang'an are all afraid. Letting Chen Xingyao preside over the relocation of the capital will be a good way to appease them."

In early July, Ling Moxiao officially issued an imperial edict to launch another expedition to Goryeo, with the Queen as regent.

Although there are still voices of opposition this time, the voices are not loud. Some officials even hope that the emperor will leave as soon as possible. The past six months have been too tiring!

Once the emperor left, everyone felt relieved!

The Queen is not a person who would do anything reckless, nor would she do anything reckless when she was regent.

Ling Moxiao set out from the base. Shen Dongsu brought civil and military officials to see him off. Many of the officials from Chang'an had never seen a warship before.

This time I really opened my eyes. At the same time, seeing the more advanced industrial bases, I felt that Changan was left far behind.

In view of repeated requests from the base, Shen Dongsu agreed to build another manned tramway. There are also plans for the outer city area of ​​Youzhou, but it is still under construction.

The base had been completed long ago, and Mo Men had improved the carriage, creating a lighter two-horse carriage that could carry more people.

When the officials were taken to the seaside, everyone in the carriage was nervous and surprised. They were nervous about the speed of the carriage, which was almost like riding a horse.

I was surprised that a car could seat more than ten people without being crowded. The glazed windows allowed one to see the scenery outside. The car body was luxurious and the interior was comfortably furnished.

No wonder the rich kids from the North would make a special trip to the base to ride in a carriage.

Look at the towering chimneys, nearly a hundred in a row, the huge warship that looks like a hill, and the gun turrets on the deck.

How can this be called a warship? It's simply a moving city!

Moreover, there was not just one such warship! There were three!

No wonder His Majesty said that we will be able to conquer Goryeo this time. If this thing participates in naval battles, it will be like a giant whale swallowing a small fish!

If the deposed crown prince and the deposed emperor had seen this thing, they would definitely not have the courage to compete with Your Majesty for the world.

These powerful officials who came from Chang'an thought they had already witnessed the strength of Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, they only saw a tiny fraction of it.

After returning from the base, Shen Dongsu found that the officials had become much more honest. She was ready for the "battle" and was waiting for the officials to attack her!

Curiously, I asked Brother Xiao Pan, "You wouldn't let anyone threaten them, would you?"

Mo Xiujin was speechless for a while: "Your Majesty, after seeing the strength of the navy, who dares to say that you shouldn't interfere in politics?"

Shen Dongsu smiled with a hint of pride and said, "That's right. This warship didn't cost a penny from the national treasury! It was all earned by me."

Although it was a bit disappointing, she and her confidants such as Chen Luoxue and Mo Xiujing had already discussed that if the officials questioned her position as regent, they might plan to "test the queen."

How should she respond? She didn’t expect that Baiguan would be frightened after just a trip to the base.

Really, can I still fight you with a battleship?

There are cannons on the city walls, and I have a crossbow on my desk. If I want to attack you, there is no need to go so far to the base!

In this case, we need to do more practical things as soon as possible.

Proposed by Mr. Mo from the Ministry of Agriculture, a nationwide field survey of agriculture should be conducted to improve farming models according to local conditions.

With the strong support of the Queen Mother, it took only three days from proposing the plan to setting up regulations and sending officials to various states to conduct inspections.

All the officials were surprised. If this happened in the Chang'an era, the various factions would quarrel for a month, the emperor would mediate for a month, and then they would quarrel for another month over who to send...

It takes at least half a year from proposal to action. And officials sent to other places rarely do any real work, most of them just take the opportunity to travel on official business and write a memorial.

Without strong officials to push it forward, the proposal would definitely die if the local aristocratic families blocked it.

But when they arrived in Youzhou, they had seen the emperor's speed in doing things, but they didn't expect that the queen would have higher requirements for efficiency!

At the same time, the queen also gave the imperial envoys another task, which was to measure the land of the whole country.

No one may convert agricultural land into commercial use under any pretext.

In addition, medical schools, female doctors and nurses, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue were sent to carry out a nationwide population census, register all the people, and re-record the household register.

The government decree was sent to all states in advance, and no matter whether they were mountain dwellers, refugees, or people of all ethnic groups, they could take this opportunity to re-register as residents. Not only was it free, but the government also gave them gifts for re-registration.

Shen Dongsu had wanted to do this for a long time, and now the timing was right.

It seems that no matter what policies the superiors propose, there are people who oppose them. Some officials exist just to oppose.

How can the Queen Mother, who has just taken over the throne, already have to take on so many tasks?

Shen Dongsu asked in the court, why not? Are these tasks given by the palace a waste of time and money?

The errands that local officials ran for and even the gifts given to the people came from my private treasury.

You just say you are against it, give clear reasons!

She looked down at the officials and saw the white hair of some old officials, and couldn't help but think of her grandfather.

She immediately proposed another reform measure, which was that during her regency, the morning court would not be held in the main hall.

Instead, they moved to the congress room next door, which was equipped with tables and chairs where all officials could sit and discuss matters.

Some old censors who were still excitedly thinking about how to refute the queen, when they heard this, their words got stuck in their throats and they were unable to utter a word for a while.

The Empress Dowager was truly considerate of her officials. Not only was the morning court session moved to the Congress Room, but there was also tea and snacks provided.

Compared to standing in the court for one or two hours before, anyone who spoke out against this morning meeting would be attacked by everyone.
