Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Korean netizens: [You are going too far! Don’t think that this ridiculous live broadcast content is all real, maybe it is all simulated by artificial intelligence, just wait and see! I will report this anchor for fraud now! ]

[How dare you! The anchor quickly blocked this clown! This fucking Korean has been disgusting us for hundreds of years and has also stolen our culture. Don’t let him enter the live broadcast room again in the future]

Shen Zhao silently turned to the backstage message section.

There are still many people leaving messages to her, some claiming to be from a certain country, some claiming to be from a certain department, hoping to get ancient books from her or have her cooperate with them.

Shen Zhao ignored them all and picked up a book called "China's Ten Thousand Years" to read.

The convoy of thousands of people traveled for more than a month before arriving in Handan City.

Before the convoy reached the city gate, many officials came to greet them.

Shen Zhao, Queen of Zhao, sat in a luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses and did not go out, but had someone lift the curtain and start the live broadcast.

[Damn! Is this Handan City? I didn’t expect it to be so big!]

[Not much worse than Chang'an City]

[Record the screen, quickly record the screen! Let those historians come and see that the ancient Han Dynasty was not all mud-walled huts. ]

[Wow! The water in the moat is so clear? It can be drunk directly, right?]

There was cheering in the live broadcast room, and all kinds of rainbow planes and spaceships were flying around.

As the convoy drove into the city, hundreds of thousands of viewers had gathered in the live broadcast room, and messages were flying by. Shen Zhao couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

After walking for another half an hour, the convoy entered the huge royal city.

The palaces in the royal city are tall and majestic, and the stairs of each palace have three levels and dozens of steps.

Shen Zhao's carriage drove directly into the palace complex in the north, and she saw many palace people gathered there, kneeling down to worship her.

This was originally the residence of successive kings of Zhao. A few years ago, a king of Zhao committed a crime and was removed from his country. His entire family was sent to live elsewhere. Then it was Liu Xin's turn to be the king of Zhao.

In other words, some of these palace ladies were newly selected, and some were old people from the former Zhao State.

Shen Zhao didn't care who these people were; she didn't want to use any of them. She only used the orphans from poor Han families that she bought along the way.

These orphans are not very old, the oldest is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only seven or eight years old.

Shen Zhao called in several Confucian scholars of good character to teach them how to read and practice etiquette and rules.

As for Qin Yi and Wang Mang, she secretly ordered people to transfer them to the library to work and copy various texts every day.

In the following days, Shen Zhao began to open schools in the city, ordering every household to send children under the age of fifteen and over the age of seven to go to school. Not only were tuition fees and books and writing materials free, but a free lunch was also provided.

She will reward those who excel in their studies and also provide certain subsidies to the teachers.

In this way, ten schools were set up in Handan City with a population of 30,000. Each school had hundreds of students divided into more than ten classes.

Students first learn to read and then attend interest classes where they can learn various skills such as carving, weaving, carpentry, masonry, weaving, etc.

If anyone is interested in a certain skill, Shen Zhao will ask the teaching master to teach them with all his strength and make sure they learn something. Of course, during this period, Shen Zhao will also buy professional books from the mall and show them to the teaching masters and students from the elementary level.

After learning intermediate courses, if students and teachers want to learn advanced subjects, Shen Zhao will ask them to swear an oath in front of the gods, not to share the knowledge they have learned with outsiders. Those who violate the oath will have no descendants.

This oath is so vicious that many people are afraid of it, so they write it into their family motto.

Later, Shen Zhao issued another order to exempt every pregnant woman and every woman who had just given birth from the registration tax, and to reward 500 coins and a piece of cotton cloth and ten kilograms of cotton quilts for each child born.

The child was raised by the State of Zhao until he was five years old, and was given one stone of grain per month and free medical care.

When this decree came out, women were excited, and in less than a year, thousands of women became pregnant.

Of course, in order to prevent fraud, only women who are five months pregnant can enjoy the tax exemption policy.

In this way, in the second year after Shen Zhao's arrival, thousands of babies were born in Zhao State.

The phenomenon of abandoned babies in the city was also put to an end. Some people even adopted babies from other places outside the city and passed them off as their own children just for 500 coins and a piece of cotton cloth and ten kilograms of cotton quilts.

At first Shen Zhao didn't care about it, but later she found that some people's children disappeared after receiving the money and cloth. She immediately ordered the guards to arrest those families who had committed fraud and deprive them of the pension for their remaining children.

In this way, those families who wanted their children to disappear after receiving the subsidies can give up and raise their children honestly.

As a result, the status of women in Handan city was significantly improved, and their lives became more smooth.

As for the several counties under the jurisdiction of Handan County, Shen Zhao also gave the same preferential treatment to pregnant women, not only exempting them from head taxes, but also issuing a certain amount of pension money and food.

Schools are also set up in every county and township to provide children with three years of free cultural knowledge and education on Han Chinese consciousness, so that children can love their own nation, unite and be friendly, and face the outside world together from an early age.

Shen Zhao also opened a shop in the city, selling various cotton seeds, grain seeds, and vegetable seeds, and selling cotton cloth and cotton on behalf of others.

On this day, Shen Zhao had just sent a batch of goods to his second brother in the northwest and recalled a batch of sacrifices from the emperor's altar when he saw an imperial edict.

The imperial edict said that the emperor wanted to appoint Concubine Li's son Liu Huan as the crown prince, and asked the god of community for his opinion.

Shen Zhao immediately wrote a letter back, tactfully informing the emperor that if Liu Huan inherited the throne, the Han Dynasty's century-old foundation would be shaken and the country would no longer exist.

When the emperor received the order from the god of community, he was so frightened that he immediately gave up the idea of making Liu Huan the crown prince.

When the news reached Concubine Li, she was furious and immediately contacted Prince Rui, asking him to come up with an idea.

Prince Rui smiled and said, "What is there to think about? Liu Xin has already gone to his fiefdom and won't be back for a while. Huan'er is the only prince in the palace and he is the oldest. If the emperor dies, the throne will definitely fall on Huan'er's head."

"But His Majesty has always refused to make me the queen, and is planning to marry another queen. If that queen gives birth to a son, how will my Huan'er have a chance?" the imperial concubine said angrily.

King Rui smiled and said, "If you want His Majesty to make you his queen, isn't that easy? There is a sorcerer in my palace who is proficient in witchcraft and is even better at refining various elixirs. As long as you give His Majesty a few obedient pills, he will listen to you in everything."

Concubine Li frowned: "What obedient pill? Will it hurt your majesty?"

"Since you are afraid of hurting His Majesty, just pretend I didn't say anything." Prince Rui stood up and pretended to leave: "Please don't bother me again in the future, Your Majesty."

Concubine Li grabbed Prince Rui's sleeve and whispered, "That's what I asked. Why are you so angry? Tell me the details." (End of this chapter)
