In fact, the reason why Xiao Yu was so popular, in addition to the solid foundation laid before leaving Beijing, was the constructive suggestions she made for Qingyang Prefecture and even the entire Yan Country over the years. For example, she emphasized the importance of road construction, attention to farmers' yields, and introduced high-yield crops like sweet potatoes and corn, which brought immeasurable value to the entire Yan Country.
The seafood and marine goods from Qingyang Prefecture, whenever shipped to Beijing, would be snapped up by predetermined cooperatives before even leaving the port. Despite their fleet now boasting five ships, the supply still couldn't meet the demand. Of course, the main force behind this was the relentless promotion by the Royal Family. But if their goods weren't delicious, they wouldn't sell at all. So, the proper promotion by the Royal Family was one thing, and another was because their stuff was genuinely good.
