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

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only officials were allowed to see these things.

Moreover, they discovered that there were many newspapers in Daqi, some of which were clearly official and could be identified at a glance.

However, some of them were not official and their content was quite daring.

Not to mention that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a thing would be impossible to write down, and ordinary people could read it.

Openly discussing royal matters could lead to arrest and punishment.

However, this situation would not occur at all in Daqi.

Upon arriving here, they learned a new term: freedom of speech.

Besides freedom of speech, there are many words and viewpoints they have never heard before.

For example, government officials are always seen as high and mighty, and ordinary people have a sense of awe when they see them.

Many ordinary people, even if something happens, dare not report it to the authorities. This is because they are afraid of the officials.

However, in Daqi, there is a saying: "Serve the people."

This is not just a slogan, but a principle that every official must follow, with the top setting an example for the bottom.

Moreover, the way ordinary people behave when facing officials shows that the government is indeed carrying out this policy.

Although I'm new to Daqi and not yet familiar with its various systems and new terms, I can tell that this place is great.

Many of those who had come ahead to scout the way were relieved, and some arranged for people to send messages to their relatives and friends.

Some people were still worried that it wouldn't be clear if the message wasn't explained in a letter.

They even arranged for someone to go back and pick them up separately.

Many people in Da Zhou were initially hesitant and undecided about moving to Da Qi. However, after receiving news from relatives and friends in Da Qi, their concerns disappeared, and they moved there one after another.

When Emperor Gong of Zhou heard this news, he was so angry that he threw a huge tantrum.

"She's trying to slowly erode my Great Zhou Dynasty through this method!"

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; no one dared to speak.

In fact, even the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace had heard many things related to the Great Qi Dynasty. They heard that the new emperor had abolished the eunuch system.

From now on, those who serve in the palace will no longer have to undergo a surgical procedure.

In addition, they heard about many strange systems and novel gadgets.

Now, some daring merchants have secretly transported goods from there to the capital for sale.

Many of these things were things they had never heard of before.

Because many of the products matched the rumors, those who were initially skeptical now largely believed them.

They felt both longing and fear towards that unfamiliar world, worrying that they wouldn't be able to adapt to it.

Even the servants were so unsettled, let alone the officials.

Especially when they feel they have been treated unfairly, they believe they can achieve more in a different environment.

Knowing that they could register their households and receive land after going to Daqi, many servants also fled to Daqi.

Nowadays, the only ones who remain loyal to Emperor Gong of Zhou are those who have already benefited from the system.

But if a country only has top-level managers, what prospects for development can it have?

If the common people at the bottom of society all leave, who will do all the hard and tiring work? Who will grow the crops?

Who can a manager manage?

The Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet recovered from natural disasters and war, and now the large number of people leaving the country has made the Great Zhou Dynasty visibly desolate.

On the contrary, Daqi entered a period of rapid development.

Universal education led to a general improvement in the quality of the people of Daqi, and agriculture and industry developed rapidly.

In the past, farmers relied entirely on the weather for their livelihood. When natural disasters struck, many farmers often starved to death in order to pay the high taxes.

But in Daqi, farming isn't just about relying on the weather. There are many techniques involved.

In winter, greenhouses can be used; in summer, when it is dry, there are irrigation ditches, water pipes, and other facilities.

The establishment of infrastructure, coupled with advanced planting techniques and spatially optimized seeds, has led to a steady increase in farmers' yields.

The crops that Ji Yunshuang vigorously promoted, such as sweet potatoes, cassava, and corn, had higher yields than ordinary crops.

The farmers all had enough to eat.

The policy of exempting agricultural taxes also brought surpluses to many households.

Many farmers feel that they are living a life like that of gods.

Just when the people of Daqi were overflowing with happiness and felt that life was full of hope, Dazhou once again faced a food shortage crisis.

Although Emperor Gong of Zhou introduced a series of policies to prevent people from migrating when he discovered that many people from the Great Zhou were moving to the Great Qi.

But where there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below.

These policies have even led more people to try every means to escape.

The officials above focused all their attention on how to prevent the people from moving to Daqi, and paid no attention to water conservancy, flood control and disaster prevention.

Not only were large tracts of land in the Great Zhou Dynasty left barren, but the remaining farmers also suffered from floods and droughts.

Many families suffered no harvest and were forced to become refugees.

However, the national treasury was empty and there was simply no money available for disaster relief.

Emperor Gong of Zhou was in a bad mood every day, so anxious that he couldn't sleep day or night.

The atmosphere in the imperial court grew increasingly tense day by day.

But no matter how angry or anxious he got, he couldn't solve the existing problems.

And what he feared most finally came to pass.

Ji Yunshuang led her army and silently surrounded the palace.

Even when he faced Ji Yunshuang, he still couldn't believe that it was all real.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed facing a variety of problems.

But he was always very confident in the defense of the capital.

Not to mention that from the moment refugees appeared in the capital, he adjusted the guards of the palace and promulgated new regulations.

In addition to preventing refugees from entering the capital, the palace was also guarded several times more than before.

With so many layers of protection, how could he possibly appear in the palace with a large army like this?

Little did they know, Ji Yunshuang had added a bit of technology this time. She directly led her people into the capital.

In addition, Emperor Gong of Zhou's actions had already aroused public anger.

Seeing that they could not hold out, the soldiers simply gave up.

That's why we've ended up in this situation.

After a brief moment of shock, Emperor Gong of Zhou had to admit that this was not a dream.

The rebels really did lead a large army and silently stormed into the palace.

Emperor Gong of Zhou was utterly despondent, yet unwilling to die in such an unclear and unjust manner.

He spoke reluctantly, "Now that I'm surrounded by your men, I guess I can't escape. Can you tell me who betrayed me?"

Next, he began to guess one by one, from the Left and Right Generals of the Golden Guard to the Commander of the Palace Guard.

Ji Yunshuang smiled but didn't say anything. With a single glance, the group of men behind her grabbed him.

Emperor Gong of Zhou felt that Ji Yunshuang was showing him contempt.

He, the supreme ruler, was actually looked down upon by a woman who pretended to be a shaman.

Unable to bear the humiliation, he took advantage of the soldiers' inattention and slit his own throat.
