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

Time is the most meaningful thing for children. It is true that children grow up a lot when you don’t see them for a while.

Xiaobao came over and saluted Aunt Yuan. Yuan habitually compared her height with hers. She was already as tall as her waist, but she had grown two fingers taller in just a few months.

Dong Su smiled and said, "It seems that eating six meals a day is still useful. I have grown taller."

Xiao Bao pouted and said, "I am eating with mommy. The baby in mommy's belly needs to eat more. I am the elder sister, so I have to eat with her."

Dabao said in a loud voice: "I am the eldest brother, so I have to eat with you, otherwise the little baby will be lonely."

Dong Su laughed and said, "Yes, yes, what the two little greedy cats said is right."

I explained to Sister Yuan:

"Master Bai warned me to eat more sweets earlier, but I failed to control myself and ate a bit too much. The fetus is relatively large, so we need to control our food intake in the late stage and eat small meals frequently. The two little ones eat the same as me."

There are six meals a day, nutritious meals with a combination of meat and vegetables, but the quantities are a bit small.

Ling Moxiao heard what Master Bai said was scary. If it wasn't controlled, the fetus would be too large and prone to difficult labor.

Although the Empress taught the caesarean section operation, so far only nine pregnant women with difficult labor have used this operation.

Before Master Bai finished speaking, Ling Moxiao asked in horror, "What cesarean section?"

After listening to Master Bai's detailed account, I learned that before the Queen gave birth to the twins, she was worried that she would encounter a difficult delivery due to an attack from the Northern Frontier, so she specially taught Yuejian how to perform a cesarean section. Yuejian practiced on many animals to ensure the success of the operation.

It is to use a sharp knife to cut open the belly, but make sure not to hurt the fetus. Then the doctor takes the baby out of the mother's belly and sews half of the belly up with catgut...

Fortunately, it was not used later. Although there was a siege on the northern frontier at that time, the queen successfully gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Master Bai got what he wished and saw Ling Moxiao's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

He knew that Dong Su was in a critical situation when she gave birth to twins, but he didn't know until now that it had become so critical! Dong Su was even ready to exchange her own life for the lives of her children!

He felt that if the mother's belly was cut open and the baby was taken out, the chances of the mother surviving were slim.

Master Bai was very satisfied with his reaction. He should have scared him a little more. After all, the Queen was pregnant with her second child, and he was still thinking of leading an expedition to Japan himself!

There are very few things in the world today that can scare the emperor. Only things concerning the empress can make him so emotional.

After knowing that an oversized fetus would lead to a difficult birth, Ling Moxiao also joined the 'eat less and more meals' plan. Although he was so busy every day, he still had to accompany Dong Su for dinner and help her digest the food after the meal.

Before going to bed, you must talk to the fetus, saying things like "grow slower", "don't tire your mother out", and so on.

Dong Su felt funny and warm at the same time. But when Xiao Bao asked curiously, what did the father say to her and her brother when they were in their mother's belly?

The couple could no longer laugh. Ling Moxiao said guiltily that when he was leading his troops to fight outside, their father was not around when they were in their mother's belly, when they were born, and even when they were one year old.

Unexpectedly, Dabao didn't care at all. After all, his father had been by his side since he could remember.

Xiao Bao looked at his guilty father with bright eyes, held his hand and placed it on his mother's belly, and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, when the baby was in mother's belly, father was at home."

"Father, please talk to the baby more. My brother and I were also living in mother's belly at that time!"

The little girl was so well-behaved that it made people feel touched. Ling Moxiao picked her up and said, "From now on, my little treasure will be a big sister."

Ling Moxiao sincerely apologized to Dong Su: "I'm sorry."

Dong Su thought he was apologizing for not being able to accompany her during her pregnancy during the Northern Expedition, so she chuckled and said, "It's all over, but my husband still hasn't gotten over it!"

Ling Moxiao shook his head:

"No, I mean, I wanted to lead the Japanese army to fight in person before. Fortunately, I found out that you were pregnant at that time. Otherwise, I would not be able to accompany you to give birth."

Dong Su shook his hand back: "It doesn't matter, you didn't go, you are by my side at the moment, that's the most important thing."

Xiaobao and Dabao were laughing secretly on the side. The old couple felt embarrassed and quickly let go of each other's hands and pretended to drink tea.

After Brother Xiao Pan and Sister A Yuan returned to the palace, Ling Moxiao brought a group of ministers to listen to Brother Xiao Pan talk about what he saw and heard along the way, while Dong Su brought the female officials to listen to Sister A Yuan.

Although we know that Liangzhou is poor, it still makes us feel heavy when we actually hear about its current situation.

This is why Dong Su repeatedly reminded himself not to be proud of temporary achievements, and not to think that the world is already so prosperous just because Youzhou is so prosperous.

Now she is not only the lord of Youzhou, but also the queen of the world. So many people are starving, and she has a lot to do.

Fortunately, Liangzhou in this era had not yet become the state of large-scale loess desertification that it is in later generations, and was still very suitable for farming.

There is an oasis on the road to the Western Regions. By taking early prevention and control measures, building more water conservancy projects, protecting forests and controlling desertification, perhaps she can make Liangzhou still green a thousand years later.

Of course, the premise of all this is to ensure that the local people have enough food and clothing.

Dong Su decided to wait and hear about the court's support for Liangzhou, and then she would find out what was missing.

However, the medical team can prepare in advance. When she heard that most local children were malnourished, she decided to send more medical teams to be stationed there.

I also heard Sister Yuan talk about Chang'an, and heard that Xie Qingzhi was like a little sun, not afraid of setbacks, and had successfully built nearly a hundred post offices in the Chang'an area.

Chen Luoxue and other female officials were very happy. The post office was just the first step. Then a ready-made drugstore, a civilian tool store, a maternal and child supplies store, a carriage maintenance shop, a teahouse, an auction house and other shops belonging to the Queen's industry would be built next to the post office.

In this way, they took root in Chang'an little by little. When the first bank was built in Chang'an, the powerful and wealthy began to ask the female officials to do things for them.

Dong Su smiled and said to the female officials, Xie Qingzhi did a great job in the first battle in Chang'an, and the next ones we will enter are the big cities such as Shuzhong, Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Liangzhou.

If anyone is willing to tell her, she will strongly support them. If they really don't want to endure this hardship, she will not force them. After all, the number of female officials is still small and they need to develop slowly.

Perhaps Xie Qingzhi's success inspired the female officials, and someone immediately expressed his willingness to lead the team to other places, even to the farthest Lingnan.

Dong Su smiled and said, even though Lingnan is a place of exile now, once the seaport is completed, Lingnan will surely develop into a prosperous place comparable to Jiangnan.

Go to Lingnan to open sugar workshops, perfume workshops, fruit wine workshops, as well as silk, tea, porcelain, white paper, etc. The local resources are rich, but the roads are difficult to travel. However, with water routes, these things can be easily exported and sold.

Many wealthy businessmen have already invested in Lingnan, and we cannot fall behind. She will ask the emperor for a personal guard to escort the female officials and medical team over.

The difficulty is that there are many plagues in Lingnan at the moment, and the medical team needs to go there first to prevent and control the plague, build a base, and then the female official team can go there.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that Lingnan at that time was a barren land, but it was indeed the most backward, poorest and uncivilized place.

In addition to being poor, the local Baiyue people did not speak the same language as the Han people, had different customs, did not obey official discipline, and many of them still lived in big trees deep in the mountains.

Dong Su spread out the map of Da Xia and discussed with the female officials, pointing at each place on the map. Who in Shu would like to go?

How many people should we bring with us? What kind of industries can we start? Which roads should we help the local people build and which rivers should we protect?

How much money is needed in the early stage? Which merchants have joined the Royal Merchants Association and can cooperate? Will the Momen and the medical team go together? ...

She plans to invite officials from various institutions to the palace in a few days to hold a conference on the issue of expanding the executive power of female officials, Mo Men, and medical staff to expand the influence of the country starting in March next year.

Xiaoman was responsible for taking minutes of the meeting and helping the female official write the plan after the meeting.

Xiaobao followed suit and also took a pen and a notebook to write down what his mother said to the female officials.

When Ling Moxiao came back, Xiaobao imitated the ministers going to court and reported to Ling Moxiao, which made him laugh:

"The emperor's court outside is the big court, and your mother is holding a small court here!"

Dong Su hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. If the censor hears it, he will file a petition again. What great things can we female officials accomplish?"

"It's just a small matter concerning people's livelihood and public opinion. How can it be compared with the affairs of the court?"

Ling Moxiao hurriedly said, "Madam, please do not underestimate yourself, and do not be afraid of the censor's random accusations. The achievements of the female officials are now obvious to all people in the world. Who would not praise the queen for her foresight!"

"Don't worry, I'm here to block it, no one dares to make any comments."

Dong Su glanced at Xiao Bao and chuckled, "I will give this female official position to Xiao Bao in the future. I have to pave the way for it in the early stage, and everything will go smoothly when Xiao Bao takes over."

"Of course the officials dare not say anything openly. Who knows if they will talk about it behind the scenes, or if the harem is involved in politics or something like that."

The emperor made it clear that he would protect the queen even if it meant being labeled a tyrant. The officials did not dare to say anything, but those pedantic old scholars would definitely say something about her.

Therefore, we should develop in a low profile in the early stage, picking up the areas that are missed and ignored by the court. She would rather Ling Moxiao support her from behind and be her strongest backing than have him praise the female officials in front of others.

The female officials are currently only working for the queen, so even if someone is dissatisfied, they will not object too much. Everyone knows that the queen has many industries. If the queen is not allowed to use female officials, will she use ordinary officials?

But if the female officials were involved in the government, there would be countless people who would oppose it. Dong Su believed that one day there would be real female officials in the court, who would attend court and discuss government affairs with the other officials.

But not now. Maybe when Xiaobao grows up, or when Xiaobao's daughter grows up, the status of female officials can be improved through the efforts of several generations of mother and daughter.

She couldn't be impatient, as it was easy to make mistakes if she was impatient. The current situation did not allow her to make any mistakes. She would rather go slower and more steadily, but she couldn't make any mistakes.

This is what Dong Su would tell the female officials every time they had a meeting: they should put themselves in the right position and attitude. We are not competing with court officials for political achievements, but are truly serving the people.

We must take root among the people, help the grassroots people keep up with the trend of the times, and realize the road to prosperity for all people...

Dong Su didn't tell Ling Moxiao much about the female official, and changed the subject to ask him: "Has there been any new news from Japan?"

Ling Moxiao nodded and said, "Another good news. Jia Shiba has occupied two cities in Wa from the south. Zhou Hu has completely cut off the road between Wa and Silla. The three armies are approaching the Wa capital."

Knowing that she was worried about her elder brother, he hurriedly said, "Eldest brother and Li Nianyu were responsible for staying on the warship and providing backup supplies, but they did not go to the island."

"They intercepted and killed many Japanese ships and made great contributions."

Everything is going in a good direction. Although the Japanese fight bravely and their Bushido spirit makes them ruthless and willing to sacrifice their lives, they cannot withstand the dimensionality reduction attack of Daxia's warships!

No matter how powerful a sword is, it is useless in front of gunpowder. Moreover, the Japanese country is now in internal turmoil, and many soldiers will never help another lord unless the enemy reaches their own city.

The war to destroy the Japanese pirates, which Dong Su had been worrying about for several years, was easier to accomplish than she had imagined.

Now all we have to do is wait, it is only a matter of time before we destroy Japan.

Dong Su said to Ling Moxiao very seriously: "Waguo is different from Goryeo. After destroying the royal family of Waguo, we must kill all the anti-Xia militants and never give them the chance to revive!"

"We must do our best to completely sinicize the land of Wa, learn Chinese, follow Chinese customs, and observe Chinese etiquette, so that the Wa nation, like the other ethnic groups in the northern border, will become history!"
