When the capital was first moved, the dignitaries in Chang'an felt that their coming to Youzhou was like noble peonies arriving in a farmer's back garden. Their elegance and nobility would open the eyes of the country bumpkins in Youzhou.

The result is that there are always new things in Youzhou that open their eyes.

After the lively July, the golden August came and the autumn harvest began. Although the emperor was away, the queen still attached great importance to the autumn harvest, which was similar to the spring ploughing, and all the people gathered grain.

They also set up an army specifically to help the people harvest grain. They did not take a penny from the people, nor did they drink a drop of water from the people. They were only responsible for harvesting.

The work done by one of their teams in one day was equivalent to that done by ordinary people in half a month. The powerful and aristocratic families in Chang'an instinctively rejected the officers and soldiers.

Who knows if they are here to inquire about my situation or take the opportunity to ask for something?

When they discovered that the people of Chang'an were not afraid of the soldiers at all, and that the army and the people were truly of one mind, the soldiers were no longer "soldiers". When the people saw the military uniforms from afar, they showed special respect to them.

Even though they have sighed many times, the dignitaries in Chang'an still sighed again, it's different! It's really different!

Those dignitaries who stayed in Chang'an would definitely not believe what was happening before their eyes if they did not come to see it with their own eyes.

Those who are still thinking of finding an opportunity to move the capital back to Chang'an should give up this idea as soon as possible, as it is absolutely impossible.

There are also those who want to make enemies with the emperor and empress and want to support the new emperor. They are digging their own graves and have no chance of winning.

After the autumn harvest, people begin to plant crops such as wheat and rapeseed, and those who grow vegetables build greenhouses early to prepare for planting autumn and winter vegetables and fruits.

The fishing fleet at the base can go further to catch giant fish because they have bigger ships and naval escorts.

Ships loaded with giant fish and shrimps entered the port and were sent to Youzhou City overnight. Giant fish as big as small houses were hung up, attracting countless people to come and watch.

The people of Chang'an, who had never seen such a scene, were shocked: "The giant fish died, and the princes died. You hunted such a giant fish, aren't you afraid of being executed by the powerful?"

The people of Youzhou laughed loudly: "Ever since the Queen Mother funded the establishment of the offshore fishing team, we have eaten so many giant fish! We have never heard of any prince dying from eating fish."

"Don't make a fuss. There is a special whale oil workshop at the base. The oil used in the street lamps in our city is all whale oil."

"This giant whale is full of treasures. Its skin can be made into clothes and shoes, its bones can be made into tools, its oil can be used as lamp oil, and its meat can be made into salted meat."

"There are hundreds of thousands of fishermen along the coast who make a living by sailing and fishing. The emperor and empress support them, but you have made it a crime."

As if to prove the authenticity of the words of the people of Youzhou, the Queen Mother held a special palace banquet to celebrate the autumn harvest and entertained civil and military officials and dignitaries, many of the dishes were seafood.

Shen Dongsu always had a purpose when he treated people to a meal. It was a simple banquet and he would only invite his family members.

The purpose of this Golden Autumn Banquet was to promote seafood to these dignitaries from Chang'an. In addition, Xie Qingzhi's clothing workshop also needed a stage to showcase its new autumn and winter clothes, shoes, and handbags.

Secondly, she wanted to use this state banquet to commend a group of talents, among whom was a military general from Liangzhou, who was ordered by General Xie to come to the capital to report on the battle against the barbarians.

Shen Dongsu specially ordered these generals to stay for a while longer in order to hold a grand commendation meeting for them.

She knew that from the previous emperor to the deposed emperor, the imperial court had been extremely harsh towards border cities such as Youzhou and Liangzhou.

Youzhou has been doing fine since she came, but Liangzhou is still as poor as before.

It is said that the team from Liangzhou, from the generals to the soldiers, had only six meals a day since they arrived in Youzhou City.

Whether it was in the military cafeteria or in the noodle shop on the street, they all ate with gusto.

Then came the shopping. Before Shen Dongsu gave them rewards, they mostly went to buy candies, dried meat and other things, obviously intending to bring them back to Liangzhou for their relatives and friends to try.

After the Queen Mother's reward, they bought more, but still mainly food. It didn't feel like a regular army, but more like the foreigners who first entered Youzhou City.

Shen Dongsu just felt sad, because the soldiers guarding the border had the hardest time in the army.

It won’t work this year, but when Ling Moxiao returns from defeating Goryeo next year, she will promote the welfare of the Youzhou border troops to the whole country.

In addition to these soldiers who had just survived the flames of war, she also commended the medical team that went to Minzhou to control the plague. They were Master Bai's clansmen.

She wanted to take this opportunity to officially push the doctors from Yungu, Dianzhou onto the big stage in the capital.

There was also the Mo Men team that improved agricultural tools, and the Sinongyuan team that improved wheat seeds.

There was also another most special person when she sent someone to invite this person to the palace to attend the banquet.

He was so shocked that if the person who came wasn't the Queen's maid, he would have suspected that she was a human trafficker.

Xu Xiu, a poor scholar who had taken the imperial examination three times but failed, came to Youzhou two years ago to join the Wanshu Pavilion, but failed.

In order to make a living, he wrote articles for newspapers, drew illustrations for magazines, and worked as a staff member for a wealthy family. After he earned some money and obtained a household registration in Youzhou, he brought his whole family to Youzhou.

He worked harder and harder, and once in a while a sea merchant discovered that he was very fast at calculating accounts, so he was hired as an accountant, but he had to go out to sea with the ship.

Originally Xu Xiu was reluctant. It would not look good if news got out that a scholar was going to work as an accountant and go out to sea with a bunch of rough guys.

But the other party gave too much!

Looking at the contract that stated the salary, his hands and mouth refused to listen to his brain and he agreed on the spot.

Uh, this is getting off topic. This has nothing to do with the reward from the Queen...

The reason he was rewarded was that he was bored at sea and wanted to make some achievements in mathematics, so he accidentally found an old abacus on the ship.

He practiced abacus in his spare time. After he became proficient in it, he discovered some shortcomings and improved it himself.

The workers on the ship wanted to learn from him, but he found it too troublesome to teach them according to the old method, so he made up a set of formulas to make the abacus calculation simpler and easier to learn.

He himself never thought that this could bring him any honor or benefit, but after the ship went ashore, this abacus and formula were noticed by the visionary steward Jiang.

Then it was heard by female official Xie Qingzhi, and then ended up on the Queen Mother's desk.
