My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Although the disaster had only recently passed, Qiongdu was gradually getting back on track.

Officials from the Ministry of Works took the craftsmen to Jixian Academy for classes every day.

To save time, Ji Yunshuang asked everyone to write down anything they didn't understand or had doubts about, and then hand it all in to her. She would then take the time to explain it to everyone at once.

In addition, she also had the layout of Jixian Academy slightly adjusted, with the addition of several multimedia classrooms.

In addition to officials from the Ministry of Works and artisans, some ordinary people were also selected to attend classes.

Some of the officials and craftsmen who were the first to attend classes at Jixian Academy have already mastered their skills and become teachers, as well as engineers who build city walls and houses.

Engineer is the title that Ji Yunshuang has been given in Daqi.

In addition to engineers, there are many other new job titles such as designers.

Anyone who studies at Jixian Academy and passes the exam is qualified to become an engineer.

Nowadays, the most desired thing for ordinary people in Qiongdu is to study at Jixian Academy, pass the exam, and stay to become an engineer or designer.

At Jixian Academy, not only is tuition free, but three meals a day are also provided. Crucially, graduating from Jixian Academy may lead to a bright future.

Many people consider it an honor to study at Jixian Academy.

Ji Yunshuang also arranged for someone to select the students for enrollment. There was an entrance exam before students could enter Jixian Academy. Only those who passed the exam had the opportunity to study at Jixian Academy.

The entrance exam questions were designed by Ji Yunshuang herself.

At the academy, everything proceeded smoothly. After repeated discussions and deliberations among the court officials, a new refugee resettlement law was also formulated.

After reviewing the newly drafted refugee resettlement law article by article, Ji Yunshuang made some revisions to several articles. She then instructed officials to copy multiple notices and post them in prominent locations throughout the city.

To prevent illiterate people from being unable to read, the imperial court specially arranged for literate servants to stand under the notices and read their contents aloud.

The announcement caused an instant sensation in the city.

At first, many people didn't believe the contents of the announcement. People kept pointing at the announcement and asking the servants, "Is this true?"

Is this truly an announcement issued by the imperial court?

Could someone be playing a prank on them?

To be honest, when the servants first saw the announcement, they were no better off than ordinary people.

They also suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.

His Majesty is not only distributing land to everyone in a unified manner, but they'll also be exempt from agricultural taxes. There are even rewards for having more children…

What incredible good news is this?

Even after clearly reading the words on the announcement, they still couldn't believe it. It wasn't until higher-ups personally confirmed that these were all suggestions from Ji Yunshuang, intended to truly improve everyone's lives, that they finally believed it was all true.

Hearing the people's doubts, they understood. They patiently explained to the people that the announcements were true.

It was initially announced in Qiongdu, but soon it will be implemented throughout the entire country, in all the places ruled by His Majesty the Divine Lord.

The people cheered when they heard this.

In the past, they worked hard all year round, but still couldn't get enough to eat. If a natural disaster struck, people in their families would starve to death.

The reason for this is simply that the taxes are too high. Most of the harvested grain each season has to be used to pay taxes.

Not to mention, taxes are gradually increasing every year.

The people are suffering terribly!

But now, the new policy says they won't have to pay taxes anymore. They can have as much grain as they grow.

Not only that, His Majesty the Divine Lord will also give them seeds, and even if they have more children in the future, the government will send them grain.

Isn't this a wonderful thing?

The newly promulgated policies have greatly eased the pain in the hearts of many people. They have pulled those immersed in grief out of their sorrow and allowed them to begin to look forward to a new life.

The powerful and wealthy had no objections to the newly promulgated policies. Although the policies that would allow the government to allocate land to ordinary people and prohibit the powerful and wealthy from seizing land might have harmed some of their interests.

However, based on rumors and Ji Yunshuang's recent actions, they have already seen new business opportunities.

From now on, we must support His Majesty and learn the latest knowledge in order to go further.

Just then, Pang Jinghuan led his men to secretly infiltrate Qiongdu.

This kind of thing could have been done by someone below.

However, in order to impress King Qi Jing and to do things better so that he could be given an important position by the king, Pang Jinghuan disregarded the danger and personally led his men to Qiongdu.

He originally thought that even if Ji Yunshuang released those monsters, she would have a way to deal with them, but the monsters were so strong that the damage they would cause to Qiongdu was unpredictable.

Qiongdu must be a scene of utter devastation, a truly pitiful sight. The people are living a life worse than animals. He only needs to provoke them slightly to ignite their anger.

But to his surprise, Joan was completely different from what he had imagined.

There were no unattended corpses scattered everywhere, nor was there a stench.

Although many houses were damaged, the streets were clean. The people were not living like animals.

All refugees who entered the city were resettled in refugee camps.

The refugee camp is managed, and people are not allowed to lead disturbances.

The people he saw did not look worried; some were even excitedly discussing something with their companions, and he even saw smiles on some of their faces.

Pang Jinghuan didn't understand, why was it like this?

Having encountered such great difficulties, even losing their country, how can they still laugh?

He sensed something was wrong and quickly looked for an opportunity to ask around.

"Hey bro, what are you guys talking about? You all seem pretty happy."

He followed King Qi Jing on his westward escape, suffering from poor food and sleep along the way, and narrowly escaping death several times. Now, he was skin and bones, pale and emaciated, wearing a set of old, filthy clothes.

They don't even need to pretend; they look like typical refugees.

No one doubted his identity.

The man he was being pulled aside to ask questions looked him up and down and said, "Just rescued, a refugee being sent back to the city, right?"

Pang Jinghuan nodded with feigned simplicity, "Yes, yes, yes! I just got back to the city today."

"No wonder you didn't know! You haven't seen the official announcement yet! If you had, you'd be grinning from ear to ear."

The man didn't have time to tell him the specific details of the announcement, so he pointed to a place and told him to go see it himself.

Filled with doubt, Pang Jinghuan went to the place the man had pointed out.
