At the same time, Emperor Long Shi Huang established many official schools and vigorously promoted the imperial examination system. He appointed people based on their merits and encouraged children from poor families to study or learn martial arts and join the army, actively striving to become pillars of the country.
The Queen, on the other hand, adopted a conciliatory policy towards foreign countries, including trade and proposals for enthronement. As a result, many countries in the Western Regions began to have close and friendly exchanges with the Central Plains.
As for border defense, Emperor Long Shi Huang not only established important border towns, but also reformed the military system.
Due to the constant troubles of the emperor and empress, the national treasury, which was filled with great difficulty every year, would become empty before the middle of the year.
Although the queen would always bring in mountains of gold and silver to fill the national treasury, the entire country's finances were in deficit in the past few years.
Moreover, because the emperor and empress were too busy, whenever the ministers mentioned filling the harem, the Emperor Longshi would say, "Dai Viet has not yet prospered. How can I have the leisure and energy to think about selecting concubines?"

Emperor Long Shi Huang was furious.
"The Queen and I have a deep and lasting love. She bore me children, lived frugally, assisted the inner court, and managed the finances of the country. She has given everything for me, for the country, and for all of Dai Viet."
"And you, these incompetent ministers, actually stabbed the Queen to such an extent!"
"Since ancient times, many emperors have ruined their country due to bloodless fighting in the harem due to disputes between concubines, disputes between relatives, and disputes over heirs."
"Da Chu and Daliang are both lessons from the past."
"In my opinion, having more offspring may not necessarily be a good thing!"
"I will never repeat the same mistakes because of your coercion. Anyone who wants to use my harem to disrupt the country will be killed by me!"
