The fact that there were two regents in the Great Chu Dynasty, one male and one female, was already surprising enough. The fact that Fuze County Lord, who had always been treated as a mere ornament, would actually appear in the book was even more speechless.
Even until now, people are unwilling to change their address to call her the Regent, and are only willing to call her Princess Fukuzawa.
Xia Daohua didn't mind this - having Gu Mingzhen as the Regent was enough, and it was actually not bad for her to be a vase who worked for three days and dried the net for two days.
But after attending court affairs for a few days, she found that the person who gave her the most trouble, apart from the young emperor and Gu Mingzhen, was the Minister of Revenue.
This old man's daily task was to quarrel with others. He quarreled with the Minister of War, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Works... In the end, no matter whether he won or not, he would frown and use his ultimate move: "No money!"
Once this move is used, he can successfully transfer the sadness on his face to the face of others.
After attending the class for a few days, Xia Daohua felt that she couldn't just stand by and watch.
No matter whether there are dates or not, just try your best!
So she carefully searched for a lot of information, thought about it, and wrote this memorial.
When they saw Xia Daohua's memorial, the little emperor and Gu Mingzhen were both a little surprised.
Although she still used plain language, the formatting was surprisingly flawless. Although it differed from the usual format, it was generally well organized and clear, and she even thoughtfully listed the table of contents and page numbers—a first for a memorial, and quite unusual.
Xia Daohua's memorials basically revolved around one theme: how to increase the income of the court and the people.
She listed some common policies to benefit the people in later generations, a total of ten, large and small, and the first one was road construction.
After traveling through time for so long, what I feel most deeply is the inconvenience of transportation and communication. For someone who is used to the convenience of modern society, these inconveniences are really unbearable.
Although Xia Daohua can use some advanced means of transportation, such as her beloved electric scooter, the terrible road conditions still seriously affect her experience.
Moreover, the losses on the road during the escape and when delivering grain in Bohai County left a deep impression on her.
It is one thing that she has no shortage of food, but it is another thing that the road conditions and the food wasted by the cunning officials.
She may not be able to take care of the minor officials (this part can be taken care of by Gu Mingzhen or the little emperor), but she can still improve the road conditions.
Of course, she was just making suggestions to warm the eyes of the little emperor and Gu Mingzhen. As for whether they could accept it or realize it, that was not within her consideration at all.
In addition to road construction, Xia Daohua also proposed some specific measures and plans, such as the government-run postal express service through the official post station, water conservancy facilities for agricultural production, educational projects for school-age youth, and the new function of auditing customs for Jinyi Yunqi...
Of course, these are just examples to stimulate discussion.
Xia Daohua suggested that the young emperor and Gu Mingzhen pool their wisdom and hold extensive discussions among court officials to collect truly reliable policies to enrich and benefit the people. By keeping wealth in the hands of the people, the country will prosper.
This memorial caused an uproar among the court officials.
They had not expected that Lady Fukuzawa, whom they had thought was just a figurehead, would actually dare to interfere in state affairs.
The most damning thing is that what she said actually makes some sense!
Even if I were to oppose for the sake of opposing, it was hard to say...
But no matter how much they couldn't say it, they still threw memorials criticizing Xia Daohua onto the Golden Palace like snowflakes.
The little emperor looked at the pile of memorials in front of him and wanted to throw them away.
But as an excellent heir, especially with Gu Mingzhen watching over him, he finally gritted his teeth and read on. After reading less than three or five books, he threw the memorial in anger:
"I think they should all learn how to write memorials from Fukuzawa-kun!"
