Xu Mochen took Tang Derun back to the imperial study.
"My dear," he felt agitated after sitting down, "what do you think of tonight's events?"
"Your Majesty, this person's magic and magical powers are extremely strange, and his level is comparable to that of a humble minister," Tang Derun recalled the details of the fight, "The target of the attack is Her Royal Highness, so the scope is a bit wide."
Recently, the relationship between Xu Mochen and the courtiers has entered a short honeymoon period.
The general goals of both parties are the same. Xu Mochen wants to increase the grain production and strengthen agricultural development. The immortal cultivators also hope that the human race can progress independently and they can obtain more resources to refine and transform gas.
Throughout the history of cultivating immortals, the number of cultivators has gradually increased.
Xu Mochen made a rough analysis. Although there was no accurate data, he made inferences based on ancient books.
It’s like the Shifang world has no population control, and the number of people in the Shifang world keeps snowballing.
Therefore, apart from immortality, immortal cultivators have fewer and fewer resources that can be evenly distributed.
The immortal cultivators in the Yunshang Realm are at a higher level. They cut off the connection with the mortal world, which may not be a regional protection.
Xu Mochen believes that the social structure of immortal cultivators is a bit deformed. If it continues like this for a long time, how many immortal cultivators will be able to achieve the great ascension.
As for mortals, if they want to promote the development of industry, commerce and other fields, they must first solve agricultural problems.
After all, everyone has to eat.
It was rare for the courtiers to agree. Xu Mochen really couldn't think of anyone from any department who would take action against him.
"Maybe it's because of the princess's physique," Tang Derun came up with another conclusion, "The princess is the reincarnated Qilan. As one of the nine oirans, she plays a great role."
"It stands to reason that although the courtiers are aware of Jin Ge's existence, who else besides us knows about her fusion with the reincarnated Qilan?" Xu Mochen frowned.
It's hard to tell. Tang Derun didn't talk to him. Anyway, he didn't leak it.
Who knows whether His Majesty's harem is calm on the surface but turbulent underwater.
"That's all," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "Since I have taken action once, there may be a chance of confrontation, and I will understand sooner or later.
I will keep an eye on the harem for now, while Aiqing will meet with Anzerui as soon as possible to come up with a plan first. "
The two have been in contact for a long time, and Tang Derun understood some of Xu Mochen's vocabulary.
In the next few days, Xu Mochen frequently visited Lanzhi Palace.
There were not many people in the harem now, and everyone soon knew the emperor's whereabouts and knew what happened.
As a virtuous concubine and the biggest presence in the harem, Shen Zhining had to show off.
Cuizhu firmly objected: "Mother, what kind of princess is that? It's obvious that your majesty intends to take her into the harem.
Besides, she and His Majesty still had a relationship from when they were human beings. This man was the first one she cared about.
Besides, you are the empress, she has no name and no status, why should we take the initiative to see her. "
Empress, you have to work hard to win favor.
Your Majesty has many immortal pills and magical powers that can take us flying.
Shen Zhining yawned: "Cuizhu, what you said is wrong.
It is only a matter of time before there are more sisters in the harem. Look at His Majesty's talents and strategies, but one concubine in this palace is not enough.
Therefore, I have long given up on competing for favor. Your Majesty doesn't like immortal cultivators either, so it would be best to give way as soon as possible. "
She has big breasts and no ambition, and just likes to be a worm in the harem.
If you are destined to be immortal, practice it to increase your longevity and live a few more years.
Today's life is countless times better than when he just traveled through time and was controlled by Shen Changfeng.
A person must be content.
"Besides, I am here as a cultivator of immortality," Shen Zhining said indifferently, "It would be nice to have a good relationship."
Cuizhu was angry and refused to fight.
Unfortunately, there was nothing Shen Zhining could do about Gu Jinge's injury.
The relationship between the two parties cannot be said to be good or bad.
Things in the harem, Xu Mochen
He didn't pay much attention to it. As an eternal wise king, he was still focused on the people of Li.
Worrying about the country and the people kept me awake all night.
On this day, he and Tang Derun rarely left the palace and came to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Because they had said hello beforehand, all the other people avoided the meeting. The people who came to see them were An Zerui, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Luo Xuanzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Knowing that the two of them were also cultivators of immortality, Xu Mochen ordered them to be seated, and someone immediately brought tea.
This tea is produced by Ming Cong. It is something in the world of immortality. You only get 2 taels every ten years. It is called "Half-Celestial Immortal" and is very precious.
It naturally tastes very good when you drink it. Xu Mochen was envious: "The tea in this household is better than the tea in my palace."
In the human world, just for this crime, both of them would have their homes ransacked and their families destroyed.
But Daqian was different, a few people just laughed.
An Zerui handed over his hand: "It's not that the palace failed to pay tribute. This tea is really rare. There are only half a tael of it among the ministers. It's rare to see your majesty on weekdays, so I don't dare to show it off."
"Your Majesty is still blessed by your Majesty," Luo Xuanzhi also complimented him. "If it hadn't been for His Majesty's visit, I might not have experienced it in this lifetime."
The atmosphere of harmony between monarch and ministers is good.
Xu Mochen was in a good mood: "I have also read the memorials of the two beloved ministers. It is indeed a top priority to increase the food production of the common people.
It's just that I have doubts in my heart. I wonder if the two dear ladies can solve their problems? "
Anzerui bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I must know everything and say everything."
"What Da Gan needs are loyal ministers like you," Xu Mochen said with satisfaction, "What I want to know is, have you never thought about improving food and other issues since ancient times?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know something," Anzerui said, knowing the household's history well. "It's not that there is nothing, but there are some problems here.
Your Majesty may have thought that by using magic or magical powers, you could quickly increase food production. At first glance, it seemed like this, but after careful implementation, you discovered problems.
Using magical power and immortality to grow food requires the consumption of spiritual energy and immortality, which cannot be compensated by refining the energy into food, especially the immortality. "
In other words, input is much higher than output.
"On the other hand, although the grain seeds we developed are very effective, second-generation cultivation still requires spiritual energy," Anzairui sighed. "After a long time of hard work, it's still not cost-effective."
There are also immortal cultivators who maintain their own status and status. They are busy cultivating to find immortality. Who would lower their status to work?
Based on the above factors, farming for immortal cultivators is not worth the loss.
There is another implicit meaning, which is to control the reproduction and growth of the human race to a certain extent.
Xu Mochen understood that now they were letting go because they wanted to see what tricks they could do.
If it suits their needs, then implement it.
If it is not suitable, it will definitely interfere or even destroy it.
Everyone is tacitly aware of this.
"My idea is actually simple," Xu Mochen decided to take an ice-breaking trip first. "I want to find ways to increase the food production of the fields, but the planting time has not changed much.
I am also worried that the food grown by the people will suddenly have a bumper harvest, which will lead to the collapse of the agricultural foundation and the danger of national subjugation. "
Farming is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken easily.
With these words, Anzeri and the other two looked even better.
