Seeing that Xiao Bai's eyes were about to fall off, Bai Xi smiled and explained to her: "I am her, and she is me!"
Xiaobai didn't expect Dabai to keep such a big secret from him, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
"Is she human?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Her surname is Li and her given name is Changyue. She is the city lord of Mingyue City, the lord of Cangyue Pavilion, and the Holy Master of Yinxian Sect."
For Xiao Bai, Bai Xi has nothing to hide.
"Weren't you curious before about why I was so confident in cooperating with Cangyue Pavilion? This is the answer! Cangyue Pavilion was founded by me."
Chang Yue and Bai Xi looked at each other and smiled.
Xiaobai pointed at Bai Xi and then at Changyue, "Are you...are you...human or...monster?"
Bai Xi thought for a while and then replied: "To be precise, we are both a human race and a demon race. Li Changyue and I share soul and consciousness. Although we seem to be two individuals, in fact we are just doing two things."
"So you have been in this situation from the beginning?" Xiaobai said aggrievedly after hearing this, "You have been hiding it from me..."
Bai Xi smiled and said: "We were not familiar with each other at the beginning. How could I tell you such a big secret? Now haven't I confessed everything? You are the only one who knows all my secrets."
Hearing this, Xiaobai felt a lot more comfortable.
"In that case, I reluctantly forgive you."
Bai Xi rubbed Xiaobai's head and said, "I knew Xiaobai was the best."
"Humph~ There won't be a next time, otherwise..." Xiaobai turned his back and faced Changyue with his butt, his round tail trembling, so cute.
"There won't be a next time, I promise."
After finding out the relationship between Chang Yue and Bai Xi, Xiao Bai became interested in Chang Yue, so he began to ask her many questions about her life as a human race over the years.
I don’t know how long they had been chatting, but Qinglan’s voice suddenly came from outside the hall, “Your Majesty, Minister Mo wants to see you!”
Bai Xi said something to Xiao Bai, who immediately nodded and took Chang Yue to the back hall. Bai Xi then shouted: "Xuan!"
Not long after, I saw an old man in slovenly clothes running in. After entering the door, he bowed his head and bowed.
"Your Majesty~~ I have met your Majesty!"
The Mo Shilang Qinglan mentioned was none other than Mo Chengzhi, the former eldest elder of the Mo family.
After the imperial capital was built, Bai Xi imitated the feudal dynasty in his previous life based on the memories of his previous life and set up six ministries to assist him in his work. Mo Chenghui, the head of the Mo family, was named Minister of the Ministry of Industry, while Mo Chengzhi, the eldest elder, was named Minister of Industry.
Most of the Mohists now work in the Ministry of Industry.
The feudal dynasty in Changyue's previous life mostly followed the principle of "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" due to low production, so the Ministry of Industry was not taken as seriously in the court compared to the other six ministries.
But the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dynasty was different. The Ministry of Industry was as important as the other six ministries, and the empress encouraged invention and creation. Whenever craftsmen made tools that were beneficial to people's lives and production, they would receive huge rewards.
Different from Chang Yue's previous life in ancient times, here there is a special energy source that is not available there - Yuan Jing! There are also special methods that are not available there - weapon refining, formations, etc., as well as a variety of materials that were not available in the previous world...
Because of these special existences, many high-tech products in Chang Yue's past life memory can be reproduced using Yuan Jing as energy and weapon refining as a means.
"Get up, Minister Mo. What's the matter with you coming here in such a panic to ask for a visit?" Bai Xi asked, looking at Mo Chengzhi who was kneeling below.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mo Chengzhi jumped up and said with an excited smile on his face, "Your Majesty, we old guys have researched some results and would like to invite you to palm your eyes!"
Having said this, Mo Chengzhi raised his head unconsciously.
Since the Mo family followed His Majesty, His Majesty has vigorously promoted the young disciples of the family, but these skilled old guys have been left aside. This has made many elders of the Mo family deeply complain.
Are they worse than those young boys?
Although Mo Chengzhi was very opposed to the Mo family's surrender to the empress at the beginning, now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, even the ancestor has given his loyalty to His Majesty, for the sake of the family's future, he can no longer stubbornly persist.
It's just that His Majesty appointed him Minister of Industry, which he didn't expect, because he tried his best to oppose the Mohist family's surrender to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty later knew about it.
In any case, he was somewhat touched by the fact that His Majesty entrusted him with such an important task.
A scholar will die for his confidant. Although he did not care about His Majesty to this extent, His Majesty's attention did make him very useful.
However, just when he was gearing up and planning to lead his brothers to a big fight, His Majesty often summoned the younger generation of the Mo family, and secretly gathered with them every day to murmur.
Later, the young disciples created one novel gadget after another, and were rewarded by His Majesty and supported by the people in the city. However, they, the old guys, achieved nothing.
In the end, Elder Mo couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to see His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty could give them some work.
No, as soon as they came up with some research results, they immediately came to see His Majesty impatiently.
When Bai Xi heard this, he suddenly said: "So that's what happened. I'm very much looking forward to the surprise from Mr. Shilang."
Mo Chengzhi said confidently: "Your Majesty will not be disappointed."
"By the way." Bai Xi suddenly said again, "I have a distinguished guest here today. I wonder if she can come with me to see Aiqing's masterpieces?"
Mo Chengzhi nodded and said, "Since we are His Majesty's guests, there is no problem."
Bai Xi nodded with satisfaction, looked at Mo Chengzhi for a while and then said: "Aiqing is obsessed with studying and understanding me, but you also have to pay attention to your image. Although I don't mind, it is always inappropriate for others to see it."
Mo Chengzhi was stunned when he heard this. He raised his sleeves and looked at his clothes, then smelled his own scent, and his old face suddenly turned red.
He studied at the Ministry of Industry for more than ten days without returning home. He neither took a shower nor changed clothes, and his body was already rotten.
"I'm sorry, your majesty, please forgive me." Mo Chengzhi knelt down quickly and said.
Bai Xi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am very pleased that my beloved has dedicated his whole life for the emperor. There is no reason to blame him. Get up quickly.
It's just that you have to pay more attention next time. Not only for the sake of the emperor's face, keeping yourself clean and tidy will also be of great benefit to Aiqing's physical and mental health. "
Seeing that His Majesty cared so much about him, Mo Chengzhi couldn't help but be deeply moved. He stood up awkwardly, pulled up his sleeves and said, "Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Let's do this. Aiqing will go back and freshen up first. I will meet you at the Ministry of Industry in an hour." Bai Xi thought for a while and said.
"I'm scared, thank you for your understanding." Mo Chengzhi thanked him again.
"Go." Bai Xi waved his hand.
"I excuse myself." Mo Chengzhi respectfully exited the Qiankun Hall.
An hour later, Bai Xi brought Chang Yue to the Ministry of Industry as promised. As for Xiao Bai, he went to do his own business.
Xiaobai is not only the prince of the Ten Thousand Demons Imperial Dynasty, but also the judge of the Imperial Imperial Hospital.
Unlike the imperial hospital in Chang Yue's previous life, which only served a few people in ancient times, the imperial hospital functioned more like a modern Ministry of Health, managing the medical issues of the entire country.
Bai Xi's original intention was to establish an Imperial Medical Office in various cities within the imperial dynasty. However, the number of doctors in the Imperial Dynasty was too small to support the establishment of an Imperial Medical Office.
Later, she thought, since there is cooperation between the Imperial Dynasty and Cangyue Pavilion, why not use the doctors from Cangyue Pavilion to establish the Imperial Medical Office?
Anyway, Cang Yue Pavilion was originally going to set up Cang Yue Pavilion branches in various states. In this case, why not just make Cang Yue Pavilion official. To deepen the cooperation between the two forces?
However, although this matter is easy to think about, there are many things that need to be negotiated with Cangyue Pavilion in its implementation. Bai Xi has given full power to Xiaobai, so Xiaobai is usually very busy.
When Bai Xi and Chang Yue arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Mo Chenghui, the Minister of Industry, and Mo Chengzhi, the minister, were already waiting at the door with a group of officials.
In fact, the Ministry of Industry has a minister and two ministers.
Both Shangshu Mo Chenghui and Zuo Shilang are technical employees. Sometimes they are too busy doing research to even think of dealing with government affairs. At this time, the role of Right Shilang comes to the fore.
Therefore, the employees of the Ministry of Industry are usually divided into two parts, one is the technical backbone, and the other is the clerk who coordinates various affairs of the Ministry of Industry.
"Welcome to His Majesty!"
After seeing Bai Xi, the people in Wuyangyang knelt down and saluted.
"All my dear friends, please live in peace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone stood up, Bai Xi said to the others: "As long as Zuo Shilang stays with me, everyone else can go about their own business!"
"Yes, please leave!"
The crowd dispersed again, leaving only Mo Chengzhi standing there. At this time, he had put on clean official uniforms and the beard on his face was neatly trimmed.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"This is the Holy Lord Hanlu of the Yinxian Sect." Bai Xi introduced Chang Yue Dao to Mo Chengzhi.
"The Hidden Immortal Sect?" Mo Chengzhi looked surprised, "Is it the legendary Hidden Immortal Sect?"
"If there is no second Hidden Immortal Sect, then it is the Hidden Immortal Sect that the Minister has in mind." Chang Yue said with a smile.
Mo Chengzhi quickly raised his hand to Chang Yue Gong, "It turns out he is an honored guest from the Yinxian Sect. I'm so rude."
Chang Yue waved her hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, Minister Mo. You should show me and your majesty the research you and the elders have done."
"Yes, yes, come with me quickly."
Under the leadership of Mo Chengzhi, Bai Xi and Chang Yue walked through corridors one after another. On the way, Chang Yue even heard frequent explosions coming from a courtyard. Those who didn't know it thought the Ministry of Industry was under attack by the enemy!
Mo Chengzhi calmly explained: "That's just the juniors doing research, it's not a big deal."
Some time ago, his eldest niece had no idea what she was talking about with His Majesty. When she came back, she said that she would develop a special appliance for cleaning clothes. It was called... a washing machine.
Since then, explosions have been heard from time to time in the Ministry of Works.
The eldest niece mentioned by Mo Chengzhi is Mo Shuheng, the daughter of Mo Chenghui, the head of the Mo family. Mo Shuheng is also a key member of the Ministry of Industry.
Changyue also saw a thunder-type beast vigorously releasing thunder and lightning against an instrument.
According to Mo Chengzhi, the device was specially developed by the Ministry of Industry to store electrical energy. The collected electrical energy can provide energy for many devices.
It was His Majesty who proposed the word electric energy.
In short, the thunder monsters in the imperial city must come to the Ministry of Industry to practice. The electric energy they generate during practice will be collected by the officials of the Ministry of Industry without any waste.
The three of them finally arrived at a square.
Because officials in the Ministry of Industry often conduct various researches, the Ministry of Industry covers the largest area among the six ministries.
In the square of the Ministry of Industry, Chang Yue and Bai Xi saw spaceships arranged neatly, like battleships. Visually, there were at least four to five hundred ships, which was very spectacular.
How should I put it? At first glance, Chang Yue was really shocked.
"This is……"
Bai Xi looked at Mo Chengzhi in surprise and asked.
"Your Majesty, this is a warship we built using the unique mechanics of the Mohist family. It's called Futu Tianzhou." Mo Chengzhi said proudly.
What's so great about those little brats studying those gadgets all day long? Their research is a weapon for protecting our country!
Currently, the imperial army is still fighting abroad, and these warships will soon be put to use.
"What's so famous about this pagoda?" Bai Xi asked.
One look at these majestic warships showed that they were expensive to build. Bai Xi deeply suspected that the little money he had allocated to the Ministry of Works had been spent by Mo Shilang on shipbuilding.
"Your Majesty, why don't you board the ship and give it a try?" Mo Chengzhi asked tentatively.
"As Aiqing said." Bai Xi nodded.
Mo Chengzhi took Bai Xi and Chang Yue to the bottom of a pagoda boat. He didn't know where he pressed, and there was a staircase slowly extending down the boat.
After the three of them boarded the ship along the stairs, Mo Chengzhi came to the cockpit, took out two yuan crystals and placed them on the rudder, and the warship slowly started to fly.
Normally, a spaceship can fly for a long time with just one Yuan Crystal, but this Buddha Sky Boat actually needs two at a time! luxury!
When it reached a certain height, the warship accelerated violently and jumped out with a whoosh.
Changyue said in surprise: "So fast!"
Mo Chengzhi said proudly: "That's right, soldiers need speed. These warships are going to be launched on the battlefield. What can they do if they are not fast?"
Bai Xi suddenly asked: "My dear, can this kind of warship be improved and used on civilian spaceships?"
She suddenly thought that if civilian spaceships could be built in batches, civilian flight ports could be established throughout the empire, so that the country's transportation could be liberated.
Bai Xi's words stunned Mo Chengzhi.
Airship technology is usually controlled by big forces, and the spacecraft they build have always only served the ruling class. This is the first time he has encountered someone like His Majesty who considers the people in everything.
Thinking about it this way, the cultivators, harvesters, bicycles, etc. that His Majesty asked the Ministry of Industry to develop before...as well as the washing machines currently being developed, etc., all seem to be aimed at improving people's lives.
Mo Chengzhi suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Ai Qing? Ai Qing?"
Seeing that Mo Chengzhi suddenly became stunned, Bai Xi called him several times.
"Huh? Oh~ Your Majesty, forgive me, it's easy to get distracted as you get older." Mo Chengzhi quickly apologized.
"Aiqing hasn't answered my question yet," Bai Xi said.
"It's no problem to use it for civilian use, but the spaceship is expensive to build. Your Majesty really wants to do this?" Mo Chengzhi asked tentatively.
Bai Xi said: "I have this idea."
Mo Chengzhi nodded and asked no more questions. They, the ministers, could not stop what His Majesty wanted to do.
Soon Futu Tianzhou flew out of the Demon City and arrived outside the city.
Chang Yue asked doubtfully: "Servant Mo, is this Buddha Sky Boat only capable of flying fast?"
"Of course not." Mo Chengzhi immediately retorted, "What's the use of light flying so fast? I will show your Majesty the power of the Buddha Sky Boat!" (End of Chapter)
