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

In short, with the joint efforts of the emperor and empress, the new maritime law and banking law were successfully introduced.

Apart from the dignitaries and merchants in Youzhou, the person who reacted the fastest was Chen Xingyao. He wrote a long list, hoping that the queen would add it to the special products for maritime merchants.

Half of them are not specialties of Chang'an, but from the northern border, such as sheepskin, rabbit skin, cheese, as well as wine, sunflower oil and other products grown by the people who have opened up wasteland in the northern border in recent years.

Dong Su naturally agreed. This way, he could not only increase the income of Beijiang County, but also encourage the people inside the pass to go out and open up wasteland.

As for wool, she reserved it for herself. Compared with exporting wool, it is more cost-effective to directly export woolen products, and it can also increase the sales of domestic woolen workshops.

The second fastest person to react was General Xie. He used to be in charge of the military and political affairs of Liangzhou, but now that the barbarians had been driven away, he watched the surrounding provincial capitals become richer and richer.

Especially after the capital is moved, if Liangzhou only cares about military and political affairs and ignores people's livelihood, it will be left far behind in a few years, the people will become increasingly poor, and the population will become smaller and smaller.

General Xie had a feeling that he had been abandoned even though he had tried very hard and had not made any mistakes.

Several generations of the Xie family devoted themselves to the management of Liangzhou, but they could not compare to the Queen's management of Youzhou for several years. After opening a seaport, Youzhou developed rapidly.

General Xie did not support the son of the deposed queen, was unwilling to be a powerful official under the emperor, and did not go against Ling Moxiao. Just based on this point, Ling Moxiao would not only not suppress him, but would also support him in building Liangzhou.

From sending Mohist disciples to extract oil, to Liangzhou officials coming to Youzhou to study, and Mohist sect's free tool and craft support, Liangzhou has also made some progress in the past year or so.

But it was still limited. General Xie didn't even understand the maritime law, but he understood one thing, which was to respond to the new policies introduced by the emperor and empress.

It happened that Mo Xiujing arrived in Liangzhou. With Mo Xiujing's explanation and help, General Xie also wrote a special supply list, asking the Queen to allow Liangzhou's goods to be included in the export goods.

Among them, the raw materials for food and clothing were marked out by Mo Xiujin, because the local people themselves did not have enough food and clothing, and had to rely on support from the imperial court for cotton, linen, fur and other items.

For example, clothes need to be pieced together by the whole family. After winter, all winter clothes are cut up and spring clothes are sewn. In early autumn, summer clothes are turned into winter clothes.

The farmers here find it incredible that city dwellers need to prepare clothes for all four seasons. Who has enough cloth to make four sets of clothes per person?

The clothes that people wear here are only in a few colors, indigo blue or indigo yellow. The clothes of a family are all the same color, so it is easier to cut and sew new clothes.

If the man of the house is going on a long journey or visiting guests, the housewife should wash the clothes of the same color a few days in advance and cut and sew a new set of clothes.

Even the families who could afford a new set of clothes were considered well-off, but most of them could not even afford a set of clothes of the same color.

Not to mention food. Wheat bran rice is the best food, brown rice is for entertaining guests, and what ordinary people eat on a daily basis is various types of bean rice.

In order to save firewood, various beans and grains are first pounded into half pieces and then boiled until they are cooked. The taste is sticky and irritating to the throat.

As for the dishes, there are only pickles made from various salt muds. It is said that a lot of sea salt has been introduced from Youzhou in recent years, and many people gradually stop eating salt mud, but salt mud is still the main food in remote villages.

Having seen the hardships of the people in Dianzhou, and then looking at the people in Liangzhou, Sister Yuan could only sigh softly, saying that the people at the bottom of society all have their own hardships.

This is why the Queen was determined to implement the new maritime law, in order to enrich the lower-class people rather than widening the gap between the rich and the poor.

Those in power only see the prosperity of the state capital and sing songs of peace in the world, but leave the poor people in the countryside far behind and turn a blind eye.

Mo Xiujin suggested to General Xie that in order to prevent merchants from forgetting their principles for the sake of profit, the export of Liangzhou's limited grain and cotton and linen should be banned from the beginning for a period of three years, and then relaxed after three years depending on the situation.

General Xie said in embarrassment, but in this case, Liangzhou would have nothing to export. If the government did not become rich, there would be no funds for infrastructure, and it would fall into a vicious circle. It would still be difficult for Liangzhou to develop.

Mo Xiujin smiled calmly, pointed at Liangzhou City and said, there are too many treasures in Liangzhou, and what the general needs is the vision to discover the treasures.

Besides, among the export items, the least valuable are food and clothing. Only silk is expensive, and ordinary cotton and linen cannot be sold at a high price.

What is there in Liangzhou? Outside Yumen Pass, there are natural minerals such as jade and agate, which are not easy to sell for export.

But it is the favorite of the powerful and wealthy in Daxia. Whether in Chang'an, Jiangnan or Youzhou, finely polished jade can be sold at a high price.

There are also Liangzhou's medicinal materials, lacquer carvings and other items, and the most suitable for export is Liangzhou's specialty Shaodaozi wine. We also learned the Queen's fine wine brewing technology to improve the taste.

Liangzhou's wine will definitely have a place overseas!

Mo Xiujing originally planned to stay in Liangzhou for only one month, but he could not resist General Xie's invitation to stay and offer advice for the development of Liangzhou, so he stayed in Liangzhou for three months.

During these three months, Sister Yuan was naturally not idle. She opened a clinic, purchased medicinal herbs, conducted a population census, etc. She led a group of female officials and was busy until dawn every day.

In other places, female officials might not be taken seriously and discriminated against by officials at first, but in Liangzhou, Sister Ayuan was soon revered as a female doctor by the local people.

As long as they saw the team of female officials, the people were extremely respectful. The officials also respected the female officials. After all, they needed the queen's investment, and the first thing they needed was to gain the trust of the female officials.

Sister Ayuan discovered that the local children were very weak, so she used this time to work with the female officials to make a lot of protein powder specifically for the children in Youzhou to supplement their bodies.

Distributing them free of charge to children deeply moved the local people, who became more friendly and respectful to the female official.

As the Minister of Agriculture, Mo Xiujing is very professional in infrastructure, farming, breeding and other matters. He can adapt to local conditions and visit different counties and towns with General Xie to formulate breeding plans based on local conditions.

Although the Queen has always said that Liangzhou has oil and it is only a matter of time before it becomes rich, the use of oil is still under testing. Who knows how many years this "sooner or later" will take?

However, the most basic use of petroleum that Mo Men has tried out so far is to build roads. A layer of it is laid on the road surface, which is strong and durable.

Mo Xiujin suggested that General Xie build roads first. As the queen said, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." "When all roads are connected, money will come." So three main roads were built, one from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and the other from Liangzhou to Youzhou.

The third road was built for the Hu people. If one wanted to attract Hu merchants to Liangzhou, this road had to be built first.

General Xie had another great ambition in his heart, which was to completely conquer the barbarians, but he knew very well that the imperial court would not support him in going to war in the next few years.

In recent years, the government has been fighting against the northern border and the barbarians, and the entire northwest is very poor. Before the government becomes rich, and the barbarians do not provoke, the court will naturally not allow it to initiate a war.

So he took Mo Xiujin's advice very seriously. Mo Xiujin advised him not to be impatient. The Queen Mother often said that it is better to take steady steps than to take big steps.

The court attaches great importance to the development of the northwest, otherwise it would not have sent him on this special trip. First, come up with a three-year plan, lay a good foundation, feed the people, and then think about other things.

When General Xie was seeing off Mo Xiujing and his wife, he asked Mo Xiujing to take away more than a dozen people, all of whom were members of the Xie family.

He said directly that they should go to Youzhou and take the exam themselves. They could study in any college they were admitted to. Those who failed could become maritime merchants and get a dedicated sea vessel for us in Liangzhou.

Upon hearing this, Sister Yuan smiled and said that in this case, some girls should be allowed to go, so that they could take the exam to become female officials or to take the exam for a medical college.

Mrs. Xie was startled and embarrassed. She was born into an orthodox aristocratic family, and it was under the leadership of the Queen in recent years that the female reading craze started.

But how could she be willing to let her teenage daughter go far away to study?

As soon as he saw Mrs. Xie's expression, A Yuan instantly regretted that he should not have made this suggestion.

She had long understood that although these noble ladies were polite to her and the ladies-in-waiting on the surface, deep down they still thought they were heretics.

Dong Su once told her that this was normal. Even a thousand years later, some people would still think that a woman’s greatest achievement was to marry a good man and have a pair of children.

Even if a woman has achieved higher achievements and a greater reputation than a man in a certain industry, as long as she is not married, there will be people who say that she is unhappy.

Ah Yuan wanted to ask, how did Dong Su know what would happen a thousand years later? But when she saw Dong Su's expression, she swallowed the words back.

She had long noticed that her cousin had become different from the others since she didn't know when.

Maybe Dongsu really knows what will happen a thousand years later...

When the girls of the Xie family heard this, they were immediately interested and looked at their mother and father expectantly. Of course, they hoped to go to the capital to study.

Go see the world-famous Youzhou Bell Tower, the large ships in the harbor, the tramway, the all-female medical school, the Mohist crafts, and the Hengqu megaliths...

Mrs. Xie smiled awkwardly and said, "Winter is coming soon. It's hard to travel far away. Why not wait until next spring to make arrangements?"

General Xie considered it seriously. Looking at the dozen or so girls in the Xie family who were not yet of marriageable age, it was indeed difficult to decide who to send.

It is naturally not as convenient for women to go out as for men. Well, by next spring, the men of the Xie family will have established themselves firmly in the capital.

I'll listen to their detailed explanation of what the Women's Medical College and the Female Official Examination are all about, and then arrange for my daughter to study there.

General Xie echoed his wife's words: "Okay, we'll make arrangements next spring."

The difference is that Mrs. Xie just wanted to brush it off, while General Xie was really considering the matter.

General Xie was well aware that after the capital was moved, the world was very different from before.

No matter whether it is the nobles or the powerful, they can no longer be as high and mighty as before. The imperial power is becoming more and more concentrated, and no one can shake your Majesty's position.

Land reform and the disintegration of the manor economy turned the nobles, who had enjoyed privileges and power for a thousand years, into ordinary gentry.

Your Majesty did not use any soldiers or swords, and the nobles did not even realize where they had made a mistake. They just moved the capital, and gradually they went from being high-ranking officials to ordinary people.

The rise of the navy and the development of new weapons have made Your Majesty no longer afraid of these provincial governors and generals who are in charge of guarding the border.

The rise of maritime merchants and the implementation of the land-based tax system made the lower classes richer and more loyal to the royal family, making it difficult for them to be coerced into rebellion in the future.

The education reform system and the civil service examination will not only allow more talents to emerge from poor families, but I believe that in a dozen years, even ordinary people's families will have officials.

At the same time, the theories of the Mohist Craftsmen College, Medical College, Agricultural College, etc., which were regarded as "heretical" by scholars, were officially recognized by the court and could also participate in the civil service examination.

The educational resources that were firmly controlled by the aristocracy have completely lost their advantage. Educational resources are like a river that has burst its banks, flowing to the masses.

Not to mention that Your Majesty has a virtuous queen to assist him. In the eyes of many people, the system of female officials under the queen is completely insignificant and not worth mentioning.

But the queen supported all walks of life behind the scenes, and the female official system was tied to the grassroots people. Whether it was primary schools, orphanages, clinics, post offices, farm tool rentals and sales, etc., they were all controlled by the queen.

These little things may seem insignificant, but once they are gathered together, they become people's livelihood and public opinion. If you want to rebel against the court and the emperor, then you are going against the queen, and no one will follow you.

Just like some people would curse the court, officials, and the powerful, but no one would curse the queen.
