    The Uighur reforms gradually gained popularity among the people. Although there were some slight resistances before, they were all overcome by Xia Bolong.  Three months after the reform policy was implemented, a development trend emerged in the Uighur country.  Slaves who were regarded as civilians, in order to thank themselves for their hard-won freedom, swore allegiance to Chabaron, the architect of the reform.

    For three months, Xia Bolong devoted himself to reform. He took some people to travel around the Uighurs, inspecting the reform status of each city, and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the Uighurs:

    The Uighurs are a people living on the grasslands, but they have a lifestyle of half farming and half herding. The Gaochang area is a typical agricultural area. Many civilians, especially poor herdsmen, have turned to farming.

    There is basically no rain or snow in the Gaochang area, and the summer is very hot. People "make holes in the ground" to escape the heat. The hot weather is beneficial to the growth of crops and fruits.  In particular, the abundant water resources flowing down from Jinling (now Bogda Mountain in Xinjiang) provided excellent conditions for the development of agriculture.  The Uighurs diverted water around the city, irrigated their fields, and turned water mills.  In addition to buckwheat, other crops are grown, and white (cotton) and white cloth (cotton cloth) are produced.

    The Uighurs are also very developed in animal husbandry. Most of their pastures are on the grasslands north of the Tianshan Mountains, and they mainly raise horses.  The Uighur king and some nobles all had their own herds of horses grazing in the plains, which stretched for more than 100 miles in succession. They were divided into groups based on their coat colors and their numbers were unknown.  A good horse is worth one zhang of silk, while a bad horse is only worth one zhang of silk for meat.  The nobles ate horse meat, while the common people ate sheep, wild ducks, geese, etc.

    Hunting is an important sideline for the Uighurs in Gaochang, and wild animals and wild birds are one of the sources of people¡¯s meat.  Animal skins can be used to make clothes, especially mink skins, which can be made into gorgeous clothes and presented to the Uighur princes and nobles.

    As autumn turns to winter, heavy snow begins to fall on the grassland. Snowflakes fall one after another, covering the entire grassland.

    In the palace of Gaochang, Chabarron and Queen Garnica, who had returned from three months of busy work, were sitting on the bedside of the palace, leaning on each other.

    ?? Wisps of quiet fragrance float out from the antique copper incense burner, and then slowly seep into the air, refreshing your heart and mind, making you feel very comfortable.  The light in the bedroom is bright, and wisps of winter sunlight lazily pass through the windows, outlining the reflections of the exquisite carvings on the window panes on the ground.  Various magnificent animal skins were nailed to the ground, including striped tiger skins, fluffy and soft fox skins, and thick brown bear skins.  These furs are piled up thickly one by one. No matter who comes here, it is almost certain that lying on the floor of this room is simply lying on the most comfortable bed.

    Chabarron held Garnica in his arms, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then said lightly with a smile: "Dear, in the past three months, the Uighur reforms have been implemented, and the people in each city are very happy.  If we maintain stability for another two years, vigorously develop animal husbandry and agriculture, and encourage population growth, in two years' time, the Uighurs will surely become a powerful country on the grassland."

    "Well, these are all my efforts, dear. Look, after three months of going out, you have become darker and thinner. I feel very distressed when I see you." Garnica said.

    Xia Bolong chuckled and said: "It's okay. In order to revitalize the country and make the country prosperous, it's worth it no matter how tired you are. My dear, do you know? I find that I like this kind of life more and more. The Uighurs live a simple lifestyle and herd horses.  Farming and hunting are a life that the Central Plains people cannot even think about. Moreover, the Uighurs are not very scheming and don't know much about politics, which also made our reform successful."

    "You're right. People on the grasslands are generally like this. They will never change what they have determined. Although those nobles are unwilling to surrender in the early stage, once they surrender, they will follow you wholeheartedly, as long as they can make the Uighurs  If you are powerful, they won't care too much. My dear, I see that no matter the nobles, the army, or the people, they all trust you very much. Why don't I ask God for a time to give you the throne?  . Anyway, I have sat on the throne for so long, and I am already satisfied. You are my man. I want to be a woman like the Central Plains woman, who can always nestle in my man's arms." Garnica hugged her gently.  He held Xia Bolong's waist and said calmly.

    Xia Bolong has long had such a plan, but he thinks it is not yet time. At least it is no longer important to him whether he becomes the king or not.  Because the entire Uighur country knew his name, and everyone knew that Queen Garnica had a talented and resourceful princess.

    He raised his hand, gently stroked Garnica's hair, and said lightly: "My dear, there is no rush now, at least it's not time yet. When the spring comes next year, everything in the Uyghur country will stabilize.  Now, it won¡¯t be too late for you to give up the throne to me. My dear, I have one more thing to tell you, don¡¯t you be angry?¡±

    Garnica nodded and said, "Well, my dear, you can tell me, I'm not angry!"

    Xia Bolong said: "I put minebsp; "Your Majesty the Queen, this I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" The leader of the Pre-Dragon Clan said hurriedly after thinking about it for a long time.

    Garnica said: "What's wrong? Haven't you seen the princess's achievements with your own eyes?"

    Wo Nai quickly waved his hand and said: "No! No, what I want to say is that it has been hundreds of years since the Uighurs were established. However, in the history of the Uighurs, no matter whether they are strong or weak, there is no precedent for a foreigner to serve as the king of the country. I just want to say  I¡¯m afraid this will go terribly wrong!¡±

    Garnica said: "What's wrong? The princess is very resourceful and has great talent in her heart. If he becomes the king of our Uighurs, he will definitely be able to make our Uighurs the overlord of the grasslands!"

    Moro suddenly stood up and said: "Chief Wona, in fact, weren't our Uighurs dependent on the Central Plains country earlier? Since the Tang Dynasty, our Uighur power has gradually become weaker. If the princess can really lead us to prosper the Uighurs,  , so why not?¡±

    Qin Ba thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the nearby ones. The main body of the Xixia people are Dangxiang people, but they use the surname of the Central Plains as the national surname, in line with the mentality of tolerance and tolerance."  , developed from a small tribe to a military power in the northwest, and bullied the Uighurs. These things are vivid in your mind, have you all forgotten them?"

    "I dare not forget. I still remember how the Xixia people bullied us. This kind of shame will never be forgotten in my lifetime!" Moro said.

    Xia Bolong stood up at this time and said: "Okay, let me tell you my opinion. Although the current Uighur country has experienced reforms, the tribes are mixed and there are people of all ethnic groups, but the majority are Uighurs. In this way  , conflicts will inevitably arise between various tribes. If I ascend the throne, I will follow the example of the Xixia Kingdom and turn all the Uighurs into royal clans, unify the national surnames, establish a new country, and re-take an orthodox country name  , formally establish all the functions of the country, establish official positions according to the dynastic system of the Central Plains people, and each perform their duties, then how can the new country not become a rising star?"

    After finishing speaking, Bai Baiwen nodded repeatedly. His ancestor was the King of the Kucha Uighurs. The entire Kucha Uighur people have a deep connection with the culture of the Central Plains, and they often send envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute.  When he listened to Xia Bolong's words, he felt goosebumps all over his body. An excited spirit came up and said loudly: "Okay! Okay! I, Bai Baiwen, was the first to support the princess as the new king and establish a new country.  Clarify all functions!¡±

    Mo Luo, the leader of the Geduo tribe, had already compromised with Xia Bolong. He was thinking that if he could become a royal family and enjoy the national surname, the people of the Geduo tribe would also be proud of it.  He immediately stood up, saluted and said, "Dear Princess, may I ask, have you chosen the new country name and surname?"

    "Actually, tracing the origins of all people, they all originated in China. Later, due to some kind of relationship, they were forced to migrate to other places. The Chinese people also use the dragon as a totem. We are all descendants of the Chinese people, whether we are Uighurs now or not.  No matter whether we are Han people or not, we all have the same clan and ancestors, so we are all descendants of the dragon. Since we are the descendants of the dragon, we take the dragon as our totem, take the dragon as the country name, and take the dragon as the country's surname, and all our  People are all dragons. There is no longer any distinction between tribes. They marry each other regardless of high or low. What do you think?"

    After hearing this, everyone felt that what Xia Bolong said was reasonable. Those who were still unsure about paying attention had already made up their mind. Everyone stood up one after another and said in unison: "See His Majesty the King!"

    "No! It's the emperor! From now on, Gaochang Uighur will be renamed the Dragon Empire. Everyone in the country is a dragon. You want to call me the Dragon Emperor!" Xia Bolong said solemnly.

    Everyone nodded and shouted together: "See the Dragon Emperor!"

    In 1120 AD, on the first day of May, Xia Bolong changed the name of the Uighur Kingdom to the Dragon Empire and called himself the Dragon Emperor. All the people in the Dragon Empire became the Dragon Clan, and an overlord on the grassland was rising bit by bit
