She turned around and asked Xuan Tianming: "The place you said you were going to was Gumo? But it's strange, why is the country's name written on the city gate? Shouldn't it be the name of the city?"
Emperor Tianwu's laughter could be heard from the imperial carriage. "Ah Heng! Have you never studied Gumo in all these years? You didn't even know that there is only one city in the entire Gumo Kingdom."
The entire Gumo country only has one city? Feng Yuheng was a little confused. What about this? She really hadn't studied it before! She turned her head to Xuan Tianming for confirmation, but saw her husband nodded: "Yes, there is only one city, so there is no city name, let alone whether it is the capital. The country name Gumo is directly written here." He pointed over with a proud smile on his face, and said: "Hengheng, this Gumo is a gift from your husband to you. It is the biggest betrothal gift prepared to marry you."
Feng Yuheng was dragged into Gumo in a daze. The city gate was wide open, and the guards were not very strict. There were not many people coming and going. It seemed that everyone was familiar with the guards. They greeted each other and laughter could be heard from time to time.
As the imperial carriage approached, the Gumo guards stared over with wide eyes, and finally saw what was going on. They shouted, "The emperor is back! The emperor is back!"
Feng Yuheng was even more confused. Your Majesty? Was he calling Emperor Tianwu?
She turned around and saw Emperor Tianwu sitting in the car obediently without moving. He just pointed at Xuan Tianming and told her: "Call this kid!"
"Call him?" She wondered, "This is Gumo, why should I call him the emperor?" Thinking about it again, "Oh, didn't everyone think that you, the emperor, would leave the throne to him? Now that the emperor of Dashun has been replaced, Gumo is not well-informed and thought that the new emperor was Xuan Tianming?"
Emperor Tianwu laughed and shook his head without saying anything. Even Concubine Yun smiled and pointed at her son, "You can ask him."
Feng Yuheng frowned and twisted Xuan Tianming's arm hard: "Tell me! What's going on?"
Xuan Tianming grimaced in pain and quickly told her: "How could your husband be a nobody, and my wife is also a phoenix from the sky, I! How could I treat you badly." He said, laughing, pointing his finger in front of him: "Madam, look, this is Gumo, a country in the extreme west of Dashun. Everyone in the world knows that Gumo is affiliated with Dashun, but they don't know that, in fact, Gumo has always been in the hands of the king of Dashun until ten years ago, when my father passed it to me. But it was done secretly, hiding it from the world, and few people in my family knew about it. When I pacified the northwest, the third brother noticed something and robbed me, causing me to be trapped in the mountains. Fortunately, I met you, madam."
Feng Yuheng was confused. What did he say? The King of Gumo? Her husband was the King of Gumo?
Although she had previously guessed that the so-called coming to the west was related to Gumo, she never imagined that Xuan Tianming was actually the Emperor of Gumo.
When he looked up again, he saw many people gathered here. They looked at the imperial carriage with smiles on their faces, and some even shouted, "Fuck! Your Majesty, you still remembered to come back? I thought you were having so much fun in Kyoto that you didn't want to come back!"
Another person said, "Of course! If you don't come back to the palace, we'll have hair growing on us! You'll have to pay us to remove the hair!"
"Hey? Who's that person over there?"
"Who else can stand with the emperor except the queen?"
"The Queen? Let me take a look... Oh my, the Queen is so beautiful!"
Feng Yuheng was confused again. Who were these people? Did all the people from Gumo chat with the emperor like this?
Xuan Tianming pulled her down from the imperial carriage, and kicked the people who had just spoken. Although it was a kick, it was not heavy, as if it was a joke between good brothers. He said, "Look how excited you are about my marriage, where are the gifts? Don't you need to give gifts when I get married?"
"Tsk!" The whole audience booed, "I'm giving you two baskets of potatoes?"
"I have a basket of eggs."
"Do you want hawthorn? They're freshly picked and sour!"
People were not afraid of the emperor at all. Someone loudly suggested: "You can accept gifts! But whoever accepts gifts must hold a banquet! Your Majesty, if you hold a banquet, I guarantee that all the people in Gumo will give you gifts." After saying this, he rolled his eyes and said, "You are the emperor, you are so rich, and you still have the nerve to ask for gifts from the common people. How can you be so shameless?"
After that, people burst into laughter. But soon someone explained to Feng Yuheng: "Queen, please don't mind it! We Gumo people are just like this, we are used to it, don't think we are disrespecting the emperor, in fact..."
"We just don't respect the Emperor! Hahaha!"
Another round of laughter broke out. Xuan Tianming was helpless and said to Feng Yuheng, "These monkeys are so heartless. If I hadn't protected them all these years, how could they have lived such a good life? They don't know how to be grateful, but instead want to blackmail me. They are really skinny!"
"I?" Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes, I, you've changed roles really well! Xuan Tianming!" She was angry, and stretched out her hand to grab the ear of her husband beside her, "Tell me, why have you kept such a big thing from me? Huh? Why have you been hiding it from me?"
The queen punished the emperor, making all the people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt. People gave Feng Yuheng advice, "Twist harder, it won't hurt if you don't twist it!"
Feng Yuheng was so angry that he laughed, thinking that these people really just wanted to watch the fun and not mind the trouble!
Xuan Tianming simply took the whip in his hand and shouted at the crowd: "If you continue to disrespect me, I will whip you!"
The painting style suddenly changed. Feng Yuheng stood there, looking at the people of Gumo with infinite emotion. There were actually emperors and people in this world who got along with each other in this way. It was so real and natural that it was amazing.
People were joking around, laughing for a while, then they became serious again and started to kowtow to the emperor and empress. Xuan Tianming smiled and said, "Alright, stop doing these useless things. Didn't you say that my palace is covered in hair? You have the time to criticize me here, why don't you go into the palace and pull out the weeds and remove the hair?"
"It has been removed long ago!" People laughed and said, "How can we let the palace get moldy! We look forward to the emperor's return every day. Only when the emperor comes back, Gumo will be more like Gumo!"
"Come on! Let's be honest, Your Majesty. I'm not thinking about you, but the Queen! I heard that the Queen is a fairy. Queen, can you turn her into one for us? Anything is fine!"
People gathered around them as they walked forward, even Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun got out of the imperial carriage. Everyone walked steadily on the land of Gumo. From time to time, someone handed Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun a piece of fruit, saying in a very familiar manner: "Just picked from the garden, so sweet."
The old emperor also took a bite happily. It was indeed very sweet. He immediately told Concubine Yun: "Try it quickly. It's very delicious."
How could Yun Fei be polite? She ate one mouthful after another, and after finishing one, she asked, "Any more?"
"Yes! There are plenty!" The people asked with a smile, "You are the Queen Mother, right? The Queen Mother and the Retired Emperor! Oh my god, it's so nice that the Emperor went out and not only brought back a Queen, but also brought his parents. That's right! This is what a family should be like!"
More and more people gathered, and everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles. Feng Yuheng also became interested and actually performed a so-called fairy magic in public and took out a bicycle from her sleeve.
People were wondering what this thing was. Zirui took the initiative to demonstrate it and rode the bicycle in the street.
Everyone was excited. People said, "This thing is great. With it, it will be much more convenient to travel anywhere. Queen, you should open a shop and sell things. We will support you."
Feng Yuheng thought this was a really good idea! If the customs of Gumo were like this, she could really consider opening a department store like in the future to sell the food and daily necessities in her space.
In fact, she had thought about this as early as when she was in Dashun, but the customs of Dashun did not allow it. People were always curious about the origins of everything she owned and would be suspicious. She didn't want to cause herself too much trouble.
But Gu Mo's situation can be considered, this is simply perfect! So she nodded and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry! I will start selling tomorrow!"
Xuan Tianming reminded her: "You should call yourself Ben Gong, Ben Gong, you are the queen now."
People: "Tsk! You keep saying 'I'm the boss' all the time, don't disturb our queen's closeness to the people."
He spread his hands, "See? I... I, I have no status here."
"But they really love you, don't they?" Feng Yuheng said with a smile, "I can see that everyone really likes you as the emperor. It's not that they are not afraid of you, but they treat you as a family member. Since you are a family member, there are not so many rules. So..." She laughed sincerely, "Gumo is really nice."
Yes! Gumo is really nice. I had only heard of a paradise in the west before, but I never thought it was such a country.
The empress entered the palace and accepted the worship of all officials. Xuan Tianming told Feng Yuheng: "In Gumo, everyone is equal. The emperor is not the ruler of this land, nor is he high above and worshipped only for worship. The king of Gumo is a laborer who works for all the people. All taxes of Gumo are taken from the people and used for the people. Every year, the expenditure of the national treasury will be announced to all the people. There will never be misappropriation of the money collected from the national treasury by the people's taxes for personal use. In Gumo, the people are the real masters of the country!"
Feng Yuheng fell in love with this land at that moment. Every family here has water and flowers. The four seasons are distinct, the crops are very good, the people are rich, and the country is peaceful. People are very happy and absolutely free. Although they can enter and leave Gumo at will and walk freely in Dashun, no one is willing to leave. They don't care about the outside world and only focus on building their own country. Brothels are illegal, but there are art galleries. Women sell art but not their bodies. It is a place for literati and scholars to listen to music.
The day after she entered the city, she started to plan to open a department store. Xuan Tianming personally helped her choose the shop, which had three floors. Feng Yuheng led the Wangchuan Huangquan class and Zirui to "stock the goods". So stocking the goods meant that she took things out of the space, and then the others put the things in the designated places according to her instructions. Zirui was responsible for writing the price tags. Every item was clearly marked with the actual price. Unless there was an event in the store, there would be no bargaining or discounts in other circumstances.
However, Feng Yuheng marked the prices very low. These things originally had no cost to her. Moreover, this was her husband's territory. She was the queen, so how could she make money from her own people? These things were basically half-buy and half-give away, and the variety was very complete, from bicycles to soap and toothbrushes. In short, she took out everything that could be sold in the space.
The department store opened five days later and received cheers from all Gumo people.
Xuan Tianming also held a banquet in response to the requests of the general public in the past few days, which was regarded as a supplementary banquet for his wedding banquet with Feng Yuheng.
The people of Gumo were also very honest. They really sent a basket of eggs each. The eggs almost filled up the palace. So the people in the imperial kitchen announced that from now on, all meals in the palace would be based on eggs, including the emperor and empress. They were responsible for making various dishes with eggs, which could be steamed, boiled, hot and sour, fried, or salt and pepper. Anyway, there was only one purpose: to eat eggs.
After eating it for three days in a row, Feng Yuheng felt that she was about to turn into an egg, so she ordered the eggs to be sent to the military camps guarding the Gumo border to improve the soldiers' food.
But at this time, the imperial kitchen also reported that they had made a new discovery. It turned out that at the bottom of each basket of eggs, there was a red envelope with silver wrapped in red paper. This was the wedding gift given by the people of Gumo to the emperor and empress!
Gradually, as time went by, Feng Yuheng realized that Gumo was a country and a city, with a territory equivalent to the size of two Dashun provinces. Officials were set up in the east, west, south and north, but there were no restrictions on people's exchanges. For the people, this was just a plane, and they could go wherever they wanted.
Officials in Gumo lived among the common people, without airs, and worked wholeheartedly for the common people. Occasionally, common people who could make good suggestions would be led by officials to the palace to meet the emperor. If the suggestions were adopted, they would be rewarded.
Of course, people don't care about any rewards. The people of Gumo are not short of money. Some of them have fields to farm or run small businesses. Even if there are only elderly people and children at home, the court will issue subsidies sufficient for them to have food and clothing.
And people did not rely on the court for everything. For families who were unable to work, the neighbors would not just sit there and watch. Everyone would lend a hand so that everyone could have a decent life.
Since Feng Yuheng's bicycle, transportation in Gumo has become more convenient. People no longer need to take a cumbersome carriage or walk to travel around the country. They can pedal and get to their destination quickly, and they can also exercise.
Of course, it was inconvenient for ancient people to ride a bicycle in long gowns, so Feng Yuheng asked people to draw many clothes according to her dictation, which were simple and neat clothes of later generations. Then the tailor shop made them and sold them in her shop. Apart from the money paid to the tailor shop, she basically did not add any price, but sold them to the people at a fair price, making people's lives more convenient.
Feng Yuheng finally understood that this place was really a paradise, but not a paradise on earth, but an ideal lifestyle for people. Whether in this life or in the previous life, such a life only existed in people's imagination. She always thought that such a lifestyle could not exist in the world. But she did not expect that there was such an ideal place in this continent. She thought it was an illusion until she lived there for several months. Then she gradually felt the reality.
Therefore, she stepped up her efforts to help Gumo build up. Not only did she follow Ren Xifeng's example and vigorously advocate equal enrollment and equal official positions for both sexes, she also brought the policies that had been tested in Ji'an County to Gumo. She used horse-drawn carriages as buses and used rubber wheels from bicycles to transform horse-drawn carriages to achieve the best shock absorption effect. She also established a comprehensive social welfare system and set up medical insurance and social insurance.
Baicao Hall and Baicao Medical College were also opened in Gumo. Many people who were interested in developing a career in medicine came to sign up to join. Feng Yuheng was unable to help, so he had to write a letter to the Yao family, asking Yao Xuan to come over to help.
In April of the second year of Emperor Tianwen, Yao Xuan arrived in Gumo. But no one expected that Yao Xuan did not come alone. He was followed by a group of people, including Xuan Tianfeng, Ren Xifeng, Li Kun, Feng Tianyu, Bai Ze, Bai Furong, their children Bai Shuangshuang, Xuan Tianyi, Feng Xiangrong, Anshi, Xuan Tianyan, Feng Fendai, Xiaobao, as well as Yao's three uncles, aunts and five cousins.
The moment Feng Yuheng saw these people, tears started streaming down her face.
Xiangrong and Fendai ran up to hug her. Fendai said loudly, "Second sister! The emperor said that you are so arrogant here. You know I have liked to be arrogant since I was a child, so I came here to rub shoulders with you. You let me be arrogant for two days too!"
Xiangrong also wiped her tears and said, "Second sister, we missed you so much. The emperor said he would take us here for a trip, so we followed him."
Feng Yuheng hugged her two sisters, thinking about what they said. It turned out that this group of people going out together was Xuan Tianfeng's idea?
She turned her gaze to Xuan Tianfeng, and saw Xuan Tianfeng waving his hand at her: "It's not entirely my idea. I am mainly following the will of the people."
Anyway, no matter what, everyone was here. The Dashun capital was guarded by Prime Minister Feng Qing and had the help of General Pingnan, so there would be no chaos. So the emperor and empress simply took a tour group out for the trip.
A group of people stood on the street at the city gate and chatted for a long time. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to ask: "Well, how about you go to the tavern for a drink?"
Xuan Tianming chased them away: "Go away, who wants to drink in your little tavern?"
"Then go back to the palace and chat! How can you do business if you block my door? Really, Your Majesty, why don't you go to the palace to set up a mahjong table tomorrow?"
Since Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun came to Gumo, they have done nothing but promote Mahjong and Landlord. Now the people of Gumo play a few games when they have nothing to do, but they don't gamble. The winnings and losses are just some corn kernels, which is considered a pastime.
Xuan Tianming was amused by the shopkeeper. He raised his leg and kicked him, then quickly pulled Xuan Tianfeng and others into the palace.
People from Dashun also sighed again and again that the customs of the people in Gumo are really special!
Xuan Tianming hosted a banquet in Gumo Palace to entertain everyone. The songs and dances were very special. They were the songs and dances of later generations that Feng Yuheng taught them. There were no musical instruments, and the sound came from the CD player. Feng Yuheng was very glad that there was a rechargeable CD player in the space that he could take out and use.
Everyone found this kind of song and dance very novel. Fan Dai even fell in love with the songs of the 21st century and pestered a performer to learn it from her.
Ren Xifeng was also shocked. She thought her transformation of Dashun was unprecedented, but she didn't expect Feng Yuheng to have more tricks. No, no, she had to learn from him and promote it in Dashun after returning.
The wine was flowing, the room was full of guests, there was singing and dancing, and the aroma of wine was everywhere. People were talking to each other, the women were talking to each other privately, and the men were talking and chatting with each other.
Emperor Tianwu was drunk again, and he shouted loudly for Xuan Tianfeng to drink with him, saying that over the years, all his sons had drunk with him, except the sixth son, and he would not forgive him this time no matter what.
Xuan Tianfeng had no choice but to drink one cup after another with Emperor Tianwu.
Gradually, everyone drank a little too much, including the women. They became more talkative at this moment, and everything they looked at was dizzy, especially the colored glaze in this hall, which was even more dazzling.
At this moment, a figure in white was seen walking towards the door of the main hall. He was elegant and looked like a banished immortal.
Xiang Rong stood up suddenly, stared at that person, tears streaming down her face.
Xuan Tianfeng also stood up, Xuan Tianyi, Xuan Tianyan, and all the others stood up, looking at the person who was approaching step by step, every nerve trembling with excitement.
He woke up, and on such a spring day, walking in the warm spring sunshine, he returned to the world.
Xiangrong covered her mouth and sobbed, but Xuan Tianyi laughed and said loudly: "Seventh Brother! If you don't wake up, I, your fourth brother, won't even be able to get a wife!"
Everyone laughed, and they crowded around Xuan Tianhua. The brothers cheered loudly, laughed, and danced, completely getting rid of the last trace of sadness in the past few years. From now on, the Xuan family will be reunited.
Xuan Tianming embraced his wife in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "Thank you, my wife, the Phoenix Star shines on the world and illuminates this world."
She turned back and looked at her husband, with a smile on her lips. She said, "Xuan Tianming, I want to give you a gift."
"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, "What's the courtesy?"
Feng Yuheng stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly: "Xuan Tianming, I'm pregnant!"
Dashun, Emperor Tianwen, January of the third year;
Gumo, God-given Emperor, the first month of the twelfth year;
Xuantian Mingfeng Yuheng's dragon and phoenix children were born into the world and were named Xuan Feili and Xuan Ruoling.
