If there was anything that made people dissatisfied with the Queen, it was that she wanted to change the format in which officials wrote memorials.

She hated it most when civil servants wrote memorials. They would first write an eulogy of thousands of words, which were extraordinary in literary talent and looked like a bunch of flowers. In her case, all the articles would be sent back for rewriting.

What are you talking about? You are so good at writing articles, why do you submit them to newspapers? I want to see the report, not your boasting and flattery!

They were even given a report template, which was written in a dry and plain language and dealt only with the facts.

The civil servants complained bitterly. If we wrote memorials like this and they were recorded in history books, people would think we were uneducated.

The military officers liked it very much. The memorials they wrote were very much to the empress's liking. What happened? What kind of help did they need from the court? How to make changes in the future? How to follow up later? ...

It's clear at a glance. Just hold a discussion with a few officials and the problem will be solved after a few discussions.

In addition, the queen also liked to hold large meetings. Not only would she invite civil and military officials to hold meetings, she would also arrange for various institutions to hold meetings.

For example, a meeting on the topic of "universal education" was held in the afternoon of the first day of the new year, led by the Wanshu Pavilion, and all officials from the Imperial College and the Ministry of Revenue participated in the discussion.

After the conference, everyone has to write a paper that has their own point of view and cannot write something flashy and without arguments.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, a meeting on the topic of "Industrial Reform" was held. Business managers were specially allowed to enter the palace to attend the meeting. Representatives from the Ministry of Industry, Industrial College, and various classes also attended the meeting.

There was even a "pastoral migration and prevention of grassland desertification" parliament, where a group of smelly herdsmen rode on horses or deer to attend the meeting, which stunned all the officials.

Why should we discuss such a thing? What is grassland desertification? The territory of northern Xinjiang is so large, and a little more sand will not affect us in Daxia.

As for the topics of "universal health care", "maternal and child health care", "veteran medical insurance" and so on held by the medical school, the officials from Chang'an had never heard of them.

However, after more than half a year of beating, they have gradually come to accept that Youzhou is completely different from Chang'an in terms of government affairs and the emperor and empress's views on the future development of Daxia.

If Chang'an is like a pool of stagnant water, occasionally two stones will be thrown into it, and it will make a loud noise, but it will soon become silent.

Youzhou is a long, winding and majestic river, flowing endlessly and changing in various shapes. If you don’t try hard to keep up, you will soon be left behind or be beaten against the shore by the waves.

The Queen said frankly that in the past, the rule of the world was "the people can be made to follow it, but not to understand it", but it is not the case now.

What we want is unity of the whole nation. When Youzhou was so depressed, it was only because I achieved unity between the military and the people that we were able to resist the invasion from the northern border and defend Youzhou.

The Queen liked fresh policy papers and would read the newspaper during breakfast every day. She would even write a short review if she found an article interesting.

As a result, those talented writers became more and more fond of expressing their opinions in newspapers.

The Empress did not allow literary inquisitions. Once, someone wrote an article and forgot to avoid the Empress' maiden name, and directly wrote November as the month of "Dongsu". The newspaper did not notice and published it as is.

When someone mentioned it later, everyone from the scholar to the newspaper office broke out in a cold sweat and were so frightened that they knelt and kowtowed in front of the palace that night.

The imperial family's avoidance of names was simply unbelievable. There was once a case where a scholar changed his name to a maocai, and common people were not allowed to eat carp, etc.

They actually wrote the Empress' maiden name directly in the newspaper and read it to millions of people. This is a big taboo!

As a result, the Queen Mother was not angry, she also sent a female official to appease them, and said with a smile that Dongsu was an ancient name. Could it be that just because it was her maiden name, she would erase this ancient name?

The Queen's reputation for magnanimity spread throughout Youzhou in an instant, and then spread throughout the world.

Literati and poets were even more delighted. Since ancient times, there were countless writers who committed the crime of disrespect by accidentally violating taboos in their writings.

But in our Great Xia, in Youzhou, this will no longer be a crime from now on!

Of course, they were not stupid enough to make deliberate insinuations. Instead, they showed even more respect to the emperor and empress.

At the end of July, we received a report from General Xie that the foreign troops had withdrawn and the war in Liangzhou had ended.

Shen Dongsu naturally praised him greatly and gave him rewards that were more than twice as much as those given during the reign of the previous emperor.

General Xie's subordinates were still worried that the emperor and empress would treat the Liangzhou army harshly because of the chaos in Chang'an, but it turned out that the empress seemed to have completely forgotten about that matter.

As soon as the war was over, a caravan arrived from the Western Regions. This caravan had more people than all the previous ones combined, with nearly a thousand people, and they brought goods on more than a thousand camels.

The whole Youzhou was in an uproar, and people came to the city from far away to watch Hu Ji dance and taste wine.

The officials in Chang'an all felt a little sad. Chang'an had not seen Hu Ji for many years. The emperor and empress were indeed the chosen ones by heaven, as such a grand occasion had just occurred after the capital was moved.

It just so happened that at this time a batch of Jiang family's ships arrived at the port, bringing with them specialties from overseas such as India and Southeast Asia.

Even though the emperor was fighting a war in Goryeo, the capital was still prosperous.

Shen Dongsu specially gave all officials three days off to hold an international conference, a product exhibition, an auction and other activities.

Grandpa Shen had a strong sense of responsibility as a village chief. He sent a letter to housekeeper Liu overnight, asking him to quickly send several boats of Shenjia Village's tea, duck eggs, lotus root powder, vermicelli and other products to Youzhou.

Grandpa Shen's original words were: "Oh, these barbarians buy everything. Even chicken feathers can be sold at a high price in Youzhou now. Hurry up!"

Butler Liu laughed. The goods that Old Master Shen wanted would not be sold for much money even with several ships.

The Queen has already told us that we should take this opportunity to sell more high-priced perfumes and fine liquors to make a lot of money!

Although the goods from Shenjia Village could not be sold at a high price, for the villagers, the money earned was enough for a prosperous year, and they were naturally grateful to Old Master Shen.

Besides, the goods brought by the Hu caravan, such as spices, gold, gems, etc., were all in high demand. They did not even need to be sold in the market, but were bought up by the rich and powerful at the commodity exhibition.

They even brought more seeds as Shen Dongsu had told them to do. The seeds were not for sale, and the Empress bought them all and gave them to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for research.

But this time, the Hu caravan brought an item that they thought would be snapped up by the Han people at high prices: glassware.

Various colored glass jewelry and utensils sparkle in the sun, more dazzling than gems, with a delicate touch and more charming than jade.

But when the Hu people excitedly introduced the new goods they brought, they found that the Han people were listening with smiles, but no one wanted to buy.

It was not until someone brought him to the window with a smile on his face that he discovered that many windows in Youzhou were sealed with colored glaze!

The Hu man reacted quickly and said with a smile that the color of your glass is not pretty and theirs is more exquisite.

That's true. The base has been producing glass for so many years, but has yet to produce pure glass. All of it is mixed colors, half yellow or half green.

But since it can be fired, sooner or later it will produce materials that are better than the Hu people's glass.

Of course, the Hu people's glassware is still in great demand, but it can't be sold at a high price. The price of a set of glass cups is about the same as that of a set of ordinary porcelain.

This made the officials in Chang'an sad, because in Chang'an more than ten years ago, this kind of glassware brought from the Western Regions was a treasure, and whoever had a set would be honored when entertaining guests.

In Youzhou, this is what is used to seal windows.

Some of the wealthy and powerful families still have glassware from the Western Regions, which they bought at high prices. This time, they packed up and moved to Youzhou very carefully. Now they all feel that they have been taken advantage of.

Youzhou is such a magical place! Why did no one take the news of Youzhou seriously when it reached Chang'an?
