"I know that you must now think that the so-called immortals entrusting you with dreams is just nonsense."
"If I were in your position, I might agree with this view, but -!"
"All of this is destined to happen."
"The Ming Dynasty will only get colder and colder in the next few hundred years."
"It gets so cold that even in winter in Nanjing, there will be heavy snowfall."
"At that time, everyone should be very clear about what will happen north of the Huaihe River."
"Drought! Locust plague! Refugees! Rebels!"
"Reenact the scene at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!"
Zhu Di's series of words exploded in the hall like thunderbolts from the clear sky.
All the courtiers looked at Zhu Di, their eyes full of pretended disbelief and doubt.
"I'm afraid Your Majesty isn't using the two most unknown Taoists as an excuse, right?"
Regardless of what the ministers were thinking, over there, the older Jiang Xinghuo, as the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, was the first to speak.
Dao Yan bowed slightly and took the jade bottle from the eunuch's hand.
"However, without the immortal recipe descended by the immortal, such a small Ming will inevitably perish in the future!"
So serious?
"Fertilizer elixir, we must first explain the name."
"If you believe it, please set off now and go to the small sacrificial altar in the eastern suburbs. Before worshiping the immortal, I will demonstrate the effect of the fertilizer elixir in public!"
And just then, the eunuch who later summoned us arrived.
"Even if I summon Taoist priests who are not skilled in alchemy in Longhu Mountain, I can still decipher the mystery."
At that time, Qin Tian Jian's information about past calendars was also broken.
Zhu Di opened the lid of the jade bottle and shook it hard. He saw a thumb-sized pill inside, each exuding a strong fragrance.
Zhu Gaochi was in a simple mood and just sighed longly.
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked!
"On the 70th day of the 17th month of the seventh year of Xiaoguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was light snow in Quanzhou, and Quanzhou Port was frozen."
After all, Ran Zhi was really a fairy recipe descended from an immortal. It was reasonable for Zhang Tianshi to understand it and invite Master Yuan to work on it together.
"How much spice is added."
For thousands of years, no emperor has really seen an immortal?
Well, at least it doesn't look like it's covered in elixirs.
Therefore, it is common sense that the calendar must be updated to cope with new climate conditions.
The reason why the same dynasty has to revise the calendar according to the actual climate conditions is not because the past calendar cannot guide the current actual agricultural production due to climate changes.
Zhu Di flipped it over, handed it back to me, and said, "Let Xia Yuanji read it to them."
Everything is under control.
While the Qin Tianjian officials continued to talk about the changes between the same calendars, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and many of them were still embarrassed.
But since the emperor has said so, he must act it out.
Does the emperor know how to be serious?
Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said with a smile: "No one will cherish something that is obtained for free. As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first. Let Tian Binming suffer a moment of injustice. Your Majesty personally said that the Great Glacier The matter of Qihe's Fertilizer Elixir is enough to make all the officials who misunderstood Xia Yuanji feel psychologically ashamed. As soon as the psychological defense line is shaken, the next thing will just happen by our noses."
"My lord, Jiang Xinghuo, the 78th generation Heavenly Master of the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi sect, is here to see Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di looked around and snorted.
As soon as these words came out, the small hall instantly became quiet.
A group of veteran actors.
"Please invite the seven masters Zhang and Yuan to go to the main hall later!"
The long sigh made many officials feel such a trace of shame in their hearts for a moment?
"The so-called transformation means turning decay into magic."
Zi's words are strange, powerful and confusing.
Therefore, what Yuan Gong said about "a lot of hardships" and "however, I only know it a few times" is completely nonsense.
Regardless of whether the prescription is a fairy prescription or not, at least the logic makes sense.
Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned for me to present it.
When those things that he had listened to Tian Binming's lectures were read out from his own mouth again, Zhu Gaochi's mood was normal and simple.
The little prince Tian Binming cleared his throat first and then spoke quickly and calmly.
"My lord, I have the title of Minister of Servants and I have been appointed to the official position. Please see Your Majesty."
Zhang Yuchu was also slow, so I continued quickly and leisurely.
"Whether the Little Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Loulan, or the Northern Song Dynasty were all destroyed because of this."
What's more, if you can rely on auspiciousness from heaven, it will be your seventh uncle's turn to be the emperor, right?
"You just understood the order of those seven things." Yuan Gongsui still had no idea: "I am sure that Junior Master Zhu Gao wants to achieve the ultimate goal of killing two birds with one stone and truly solving the obstacles of that series of problems. Could it be that he can't directly With the threat of the fertilizer elixir sent by the immortal, can it be solved with weak force?"
Everyone looked at the little prince Zhang Yuchu with a pretentious look, waiting for my explanation.
Although Tian Binming's complexion was not as pale as he had been basking in the sun at the foot of the mountain, he still had a calm demeanor. Faced with the gazes of the officials, I continued speaking in a hurry.
Zhu Di nodded and said in a deep voice.
Then, Dao Yan showed the bottle of fertilizer elixir that was full of color, fragrance and fragrance to the ministers one by one.
"Two real people must be polite. The reason why I called them here today is because of the fairy recipe sent by the immortal in a dream."
Obviously, we don't care at all about what we said to Zhu Gaochi.
"I dare to ask the little prince, what effect does the so-called chemical fertilizer elixir have? Why is it said that it can save Xiao Ming in the future? It can even fight the heat that lasts for hundreds of years?"
After hearing that sentence and combining it with the historical facts that Tian Binming read out later, the truth of the matter can only be revealed!
"Well, take it down."
Immediately afterwards, Tian Binming placed the materials in his hand heavily on the temporary desk and looked at the colleagues who were still criticizing me just now.
Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan.
During the "Great Ice Age", records of cooling will continue to appear in history books for decades.
Even according to historical data and calendar records, it is proved that the weather does fluctuate between cool and hot periods in cycles of hundreds of years.
"The elixir of chemical fertilizers can double the yield of crops per acre!"
"It's wrong."
Just take a moment of your precious time and care about the ignorant untouchables of who knows how many generations to come.
Although, this has nothing to do with the interests of the Gungun princes.
I recognized that elixir!
In a daze, I recalled what Xia Shangshu said, and it was still in my ears, and it was very real.
"Since you all believe me, I am going to move the old books recording the weather from the Hanlin Academy. At the same time, the officials of the Qintian Prison will go get the past calendars and related records, and put them there. Check in the small hall!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by Xia Yuanji, he must have deceived you."
Seeing the two people paying homage, Zhu Di raised his hand with a calm expression to signal us to get up.
"Xiao Zhenren, isn't that the first step in Master Zhu Gao's plan?"
"Who among the Gonggun princes out there can guarantee that their family will fall into decline after hundreds of years of inheritance?"
Then, I took out a jade bottle from the sleeve of my robe and handed it respectfully to the eunuch behind me.
"Your Majesty, although the weather now is a bit hotter than before, that doesn't mean it will be like this in the future."
A soldier from the Ministry of War came out of the incident. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Di.
What about the final result?
Zhu Gaochi, who had mixed feelings, took the information from the emperor and started to recite it in public.
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished sorting out the historical information from the past. Please take a look."
But even so, the emperor and the officials waited until the rooster crowed before reaching the conclusion.
"The so-called fertilizer is to make the soil fertile."
Since there are many immortals, more people will believe the idea that the immortals descended to the immortal place just now.
During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, there was no auspiciousness in the country every day.
"Is that to build the plank road openly and visit Chen Cang secretly?"
At the same time, the side hall.
"Your Majesty, this is unlikely."
The little nephew who sees Xiangrui every day makes Uncle Qi, who is physically visiting relatives, so scared that he disappears from the world.
"And the last round of the Great Ice Age has not quietly ended yet!"
"."
The other officials also retorted after hearing this.
But soon the voices of doubt, like cicadas and flies, could be heard in the small hall in a controlled manner.
".In the first year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty, Taihu Lake was completely frozen."
"After mentioning the name, you may still have no idea. No problem, you only need to talk about the effect of the fertilizer elixir, and they will understand why the immortal recipe sent by the immortal and the chemical fertilizer elixir refined can resist the effects of the fertilizer elixir for several consecutive years. It’s been a hundred years of heat.”
At this time, Dao Yan also added: "I and the other seven people went through a lot of hardships, but only after a few times did they truly and fully grasp the secrets of the immortal recipe and refine the real elixir!"
A long time ago, an editor from the Hanlin Academy stood up.
"First of all, it was with the help of Zhenren Yuan that I cracked the elixir passed down by the immortal."
"Bring it down."
Dozens of officials were working on the spot, retreating at the same time in categories according to the same dynasty.
Bad stuff! Things that can make your wealth less are not bad things!
Although we all stewed the fertilizer elixir in one pot, the very bad-looking fertilizer elixir in the previous sequel was made after we tried it over and over again and succeeded many times.
Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and said: "In the Eighth Prince's Palace, Junior Master Zhu Gao's plan was to use those people's psychological fluctuations to make us feel ashamed first, then An He was shocked, and then, we were right Using both kindness and power, he finally achieved the superficial goal and then the hidden ultimate goal without the officials being aware of it."
To make the elixir look like this.
"That small catastrophe is the Great Ice Age!"
The ministers were still open-minded.
In addition to the small scene directed by Zhu Gao, the prime minister in white who has returned to work, Zhu Di, who plays the protagonist, certainly understands what is going on.
Yuan Gongsui didn't quite understand, I said with certainty.
Of course, some people have also thought that the reason why the immortal asked for two dreams could not be because he knew that he had given the immortal recipe to the emperor. The emperor must be able to understand it and be able to refine the elixir.
In the past, the classics and celestial calendars that recorded the weather were not yet recorded, but the old manuals of the weather were all transported from the Hanlin Academy and the Qintian Prison.
After hearing that, the ministers were a little suspicious.
Therefore, I only added some substances to the color that have no effect other than making the elixir turn deep red, and also added a little spice to it.
The eunuch took the jade bottle and placed it under the dragon table behind Zhu Di's dragon chair.
The relevant officials immediately took action, holding bookmarks and stickers and slowly flipping through them.
But after all, those ministers were Confucian scholars who had read poetry and books. They were not too skeptical about the idea of immortals, because even emperors as small as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, as long as they embarked on the path of seeking immortality, The first endings are all fruitless.
Looking at the two unknown young masters in the Dao Sect, the ministers looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew what kind of battle the emperor was getting into.
At this time, no one could help but ask.
The ministers were thinking to themselves above.
"That is absolutely true and cannot be questioned."
A moment ago, a thick record appeared in my hands.
The little prince Tian Binming, who had been silent for a while, also spoke at that time.
The officials of Qintian Prison raised their hands and reported loudly to the emperor under the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, based on the comparison of past calendars, it is true that as Xia Yuanji said, when there is no historical record and the climate is relatively normal, the calendar solar terms will change accordingly for a few days, and when there is no clear historical record, the climate is extremely hot. When the time comes, the solar terms in the calendar will also change!"
We just deny that such a phenomenon does not happen, but there is no inevitable connection with the fairy's dream. We are still doubtful in our hearts.
"As for the small altar in the eastern suburbs, starting from today, the land outside used for demonstrations will be open to any official for viewing all day long!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice. We, the Ming Dynasty, are blessed by God. How can we face such a bleak future?"
Every time Zhu Gaochi said something, the expressions of all the Dukes became more solemn. Until I finished the last word, everyone's expressions finally reached the point where they were mourning for their heirs.
Tian Binming bowed slightly.
"When the time comes, your descendants will also be displaced and freeze to death in the snow!"
"At the same time, each yamen must select a group of eight people to observe and record intermittently throughout the day, recording with their own eyes and hands the magical effects of the fertilizer elixir!"
When the emperor gave the order, the hearts of all the civil and military officials sank.
Although Baiguan cares about it, what Baiguan didn't expect is that the common sense we take for granted and the hidden truth behind it turns out to be that the climate will retreat into a "Great Ice Age" every few hundred years!
Is that making a fortune?
Looking at the gazes of the ministers, Tian Binming lowered his voice. My voice echoed in the small hall.
"Everyone, let's take a look. If you think it's bad, you should go to the small altar in the eastern suburbs to offer sacrifices. There's no problem, just ask now."
Except for the eighth prince Yuan Gongsui who was looking at us, there were only two people in the palace, Jiang Xinghuo and Dao Yan, waiting for the emperor's call.
"The Immortal told Your Majesty that every few hundred years, the heaven and earth will suffer a small calamity, and the temperature will become too low, which will lead to a series of disasters. Farmland production will be reduced, people will be displaced, and they will be forced to revolt, leading to the replacement of dynasties! "
After all, he has to prove whether something is bad or not.
Didn't we expect that there were so few reasons hidden behind the issuance of "Xiao Ming Treasury Bonds".
Zhu Di took a deep breath and then handed the jade bottle back to the eunuch.
"I just want to say that the chemical fertilizer elixir is not an elixir that can turn decay into magic and make the originally barren soil fertile!"
Those with a few hundred acres outside their homes will make a big fortune, those with a few thousand acres outside their homes will make a medium fortune, and those with tens of thousands of acres outside their homes will make a small fortune!
"Ahem."
The eighth prince Yuan Gongsui finally couldn't help but asked.
Dao Yan added: "The most important thing is to let the officials notice it."
"Because the strategy formulated by Tian Binming is destined to meet with little approval and resistance from the officials, it must use other people's affairs to quietly achieve the goal, otherwise such a huge expenditure will not be enough when the Ministry of Accounts is so short of money. , it is very difficult to pass directly.”
The eighth prince Yuan Gongsui nodded in understanding.
Later, the emperor said that the immortal told me in his dream that Xiao Ming would face the "Great Ice Age" in the next few hundred years. In fact, we were not the only ones.
"But it's just like that. Why do immortals make so much trouble? While telling your Majesty in dreams what will happen in the future, he also tells little real people in dreams to tell us the magic formula to solve the problem?"
Dao Yan walked around, and the courtiers took a fleeting look at it. Xiao Yue also felt that it indeed fit the image of the elixir in their minds.
Oops, my chest is so itchy, maybe I will develop a conscience, right?
"Reporting to your majesty, the immortal has indeed entrusted me with a dream and granted him an immortal prescription. And that immortal prescription is something I have never heard of or seen before!"
"exactly!"
