Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's words were full of helplessness, Wang Xinran smiled and said, "You have been bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the well rope." ”

"It's not like I've been bitten by a snake once, this debit codex has already pitted me for two ......" Wu Zhongyuan stopped here when he said this, it seemed a bit arbitrary to say this, although the northwest tomb that hid the wormhole and the underground illusion transformed by the spiritual energy of Zisu indirectly brought him a lot of trouble, it was not like a trap deliberately arranged by the enemy.

After groaning, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for this matter first, I don't have time to do that right now, don't rush to the arsenal, the day after tomorrow there will be a distribution ceremony for the elixir, you can't be absent." ”

"It's fine. Wang happily nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, it's not early, go back to the harem for dinner. Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the palace gate.

Wang Xinran followed Wu Zhongyuan out of the Zhongtian Palace, and Jiang Dahua, who was in charge of security outside the Dan Palace, and others saw the two come out, and they all stepped forward to greet them.

Wu Zhongyuan said hard work to everyone, and then exchanged a few words of greeting with the two elderly couples who borrowed Danding waiting outside the Dan Palace, and then entered the Dan Hall to inspect the cracks on Dan Ding's body.

In modern terms, the air pressure inside the mixed yuan tripod is very large, and it is in a high pressure state for a long time, and cracks in the tripod body are inevitable, as long as there is no air leakage, you can continue to use it.

After inspecting it, I felt that Danding should be able to hold out until the remaining materials were refined, and then left the Dandian and went to the harem with Wang Xinran.

When he got to no one, Wang said happily, "Don't eat in the Middle Palace, go to the East Courtyard, you haven't been there for a long time, go over and say hello." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, not because he didn't want to go, but because he wasn't sure if Wang Xinran's words were sincere.

Wang Xinran guessed what Wu Zhongyuan thought, and said casually, "Wu Qing is not easy, she is very virtuous and understands the rules, as long as I am in the palace, she will go over every day to say goodbye, she is a good person, you must not snub others." ”

"Are Wu Di and Jiang Nan bad?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"These two are okay," Wang Xinran said, "Wu Di is very smart, but she never plays tricks with me, Jiang Nan also respects me very much, these people you are looking for are not pretentious, and I don't hate the poor problem of intrigue." ”

When the two of them arrived at the harem between talking, Wang Xinran raised his hand and pointed to the east courtyard, signaling Wu Zhongyuan to go there, and then continued north, to the middle palace.

Wu Zhongyuan was about to go to the East Courtyard, Wang Xinran turned around and came back again, "Wu Qing's aura cultivation is too low, you have so many pills in your hand, you might as well give her one." ”

"She's not like you, she doesn't like to get involved in these things, and it's a waste to give. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily, you didn't give her a chance to participate," Wang said happily, "You go, I'll go to the post house after dinner to see my dragon foal." ”

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he turned around and left, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and went to the East Courtyard, on the way to the East Courtyard, considering what Wang Xinran said before, what Wang Xinran said was not unreasonable, and he should consider promoting Wu Qing's cultivation, even if she didn't need to participate in the war, at least she could protect herself in the event of an accident.

The last time he went to modern times, he had possessed a pug, and after coming back, the soul returned to the body, this pug has been adopted by Wu Qing, and it started when he was in Daze, and after entering the palace, he brought a bear, Wu Zhongyuan just entered the door of the east courtyard, and the pug wagked his tail to meet him.

If conditions permit, you still have to raise a dog, there is a dog has fireworks, not only can prevent theft, but also feel very good when you go home.

There is no gong hanging at the entrance of the east courtyard, and the lack of a gong means that it is inconvenient for Wu Qing to take over the waiter, and Wu Zhongyuan does not feel lost, and the desire has not disappeared after being promoted to Taiyuan, but the self-control ability is getting stronger and stronger, and there will no longer be hot-blooded, irritable and anxious.

Wu Qing was having dinner, heard the barking of the pug, the maid opened the door to check the truth, and at the same time as the maid opened the door, Wu Qing saw Wu Zhongyuan, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks to welcome out.

She didn't see Wu Zhongyuan often, and when she saw Wu Zhongyuan coming, she was so surprised that she squatted down with a little shyness and saluted.

Wu Zhongyuan helped Wu Qing up, took her hand and entered the main room, there were dishes on the table, in addition to rice porridge, there was also a plate of sunflower vegetables and a plate of sauce and beans, it was very simple, and there was no meat.

In ancient times, there were very few varieties of vegetables, only common sunflower, weed, shallot, green onion, leek five kinds, sunflower is not the modern okra, but a kind of green leafy plant, and spinach is somewhat similar, at this time there is no Chinese cabbage, sunflower is the main vegetable.

Herb is the leaf of the leguminous plant, and the bean is the bean, which can be pickled and served with rice.

Shallot is a bit like modern wild garlic, and to be honest, it's not very tasty.

Green onions and leeks are modern green onions and leeks, but the taste is not the same as modern green onions and leeks, the spicy gas is very heavy, and they can only be fried and eaten raw.

Wu Zhongyuan is here, he must add vegetables, Wu Zhongyuan ordered it himself, there was already tofu at this time, but it was not the white and tender tofu of later generations, but between soybean paste and tofu, more like tofu milk, not a regular piece, but a jar, dig a spoonful when you want to eat.

Wu Zhongyuan asked for tofu, venison and a plate of purple potato, ancient people were used to drinking porridge, Wu Zhongyuan retained the eating habits of modern northerners, and if he likes to eat dry, he asked for scones.

Although Wu Qing is virtuous and gentle, she is not the kind of weak and sick little woman in later generations, when the food is delivered, Wu Zhongyuan asks her to eat with her, and she eats, neither chewing slowly nor gobbling up, it is very ordinary and comfortable.

During the meal, Wu Zhongyuan asked about Wu Xuan's situation, Wu Xuan is Wu Qin's son and his brother-in-law, this little thing likes foxes and fake tigers very much, according to Wu Qing, Wu Xuan is very familiar with Jiang Dahua's son in the school, and it is not enough to be domineering, but there must be arrogance.

Wu Zhongyuan is not disgusted by this, at least not very disgusted, the emperor's relatives are the emperor's relatives, and they can't act recklessly, but there is no need to be approachable.

Now it is the end of autumn, the weather is gradually getting cooler, Wu Zhongyuan rewarded some skins and cloth to Wu Qing, and the shell coin was also rewarded with two thousand, in fact, the concubines of the harem are all basically supported, Wu Zhongyuan's reward is an additional gift, Wu Qing can give it to relatives and friends, or it can be rewarded to the next person.

Wu Qing was a little frightened about Wu Zhongyuan's reward, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't hide it, but he said that he had been busy with government affairs for a while now, and he snubbed her, and he felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

Wu Qing said that he was mediocre and incompetent, and he only increased his burden, and he could not worry about the king.

Wu Zhongyuan remembered Wang Xinran's previous words, so he took the opportunity to reward Wu Qing with a Taixuan Spirit Pill, and assigned her an errand to supervise the academy and Fushou Academy.

This errand seems simple, but in fact it is trivial and abnormal, because the old people and children are the most difficult to manage, especially these old people and children are the relatives of the city lords of the major walled cities.

When I came to the watch, after eating, I drank a cup of tea, and left before the second watch, and came back after a while, he went to Xinyue Island and brought some fruit back, at this time the materials were very scarce, there were fresh fruits in all seasons on Xinyue Island, and after the monkey died, the Xinyue fox ate very little, and he occasionally went to pick some to give away, and it was more convenient to come and go after being able to teleport.

Leaving some fruits for Wu Qing, Wu Zhongyuan went to the Middle Palace again, sent some to Wang Xinran, and finally took the rest to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In addition to the three hundred purple qi elixirs needed by the Golden Bear Wizard, the Golden Bull Warrior and the Golden Crow Warrior, there was still a large amount of purple qi elixir in his hand, and he discussed with the old blind man how to distribute the remaining purple qi pills to the seventy-one walled cities under his jurisdiction.

The seventy-one walled cities need to be discussed one by one, and all aspects have to be weighed, which is extremely cumbersome.

The old blind man first proposed to add an auxiliary city to the west of the bear city, the so-called auxiliary city as the name suggests is a subsidiary city of the bear, the bear was originally the capital of the bear clan, after the unification of the three clans, a large number of various institutions were added, it was very crowded, and a part of the people and some non-very important functional departments, including the mansions of the middle and lower officials of the ministries can be transferred to the auxiliary city.

The vacated position is to build three barracks, which are located in the south, west, and east of the palace, which can guard the imperial city in peacetime, and can also be quickly assembled in wartime, or go to the battlefield in person, or be teleported by Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan agreed with the old blind man's suggestion, and the name of the auxiliary city was directly set as Dafu, and Wu Ji, the auxiliary of the Criminal Department, served as the city lord.

In this way, the number of bear cities has expanded to eighteen, the number of bird tribes has twenty-four, and the number of ox tribes has thirty, for a total of seventy-two.

In addition to these seventy-two walled cities, we have to add the merman clan who chases the waves, the Yi clan in the Qing capital, the werewolf clan who Gao Zhan, and the black widow's Yinmahe, these departments have already joined the Central Plains, and they must also be taken into account when distributing the pills, otherwise it will appear to favor one over the other.

Governing the country is the most laborious, these seventy-two walled cities, must be equipped with the main and deputy city lords, especially when the war is coming, the deputy city lord is particularly important, in case the city lord dies in battle, the deputy city lord can also substitute for his duties.

Because the three clans were originally hostile to each other, the grievances were very deep, although the contradictions eased a lot after he ascended the throne, but there are still more or less old grudges between the major city lords, before this a large number of city lords were killed in battle, at present, many cities are temporarily appointed by the two princes to serve as a substitute for the warriors of the city, because they have not been officially appointed by him, these people can be adjusted before the formal appointment, at this time Wu Zhongyuan and the old blind man discussed this matter, it is difficult to make the city lords of the three clans work together in a short period of time, but at least they can't let them be in the same boat, and they can't be saved when they die at a critical juncture。

The focus of the discussion between the two was the distribution of the Purple Qi Spirit Pill and the appointment of the city lord, and in principle, the opinions of the two princes, Li Tai and Jiang Zhen, were respected, and the city lord they proposed should not be changed as much as possible, but what must be changed can only be changed, because the personnel arrangements made by the two at this time were for the upcoming Six Dao melee to arrange the troops.

In addition, the two princes, the Yi people, the shark clan, the wolf clan, and the Yinmahe, must also be given a certain amount of elixir, which they will send to the people below, these people are more special, and they have to be given a certain degree of autonomy.

After talking about the fourth watch, the tone was roughly set, Wu Zhongyuan got up to say goodbye, and the old blind man sent him out.

"I'm going to go out, and if I can't come back early, you will act as a representative. Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old blind man nodded in agreement, and did not ask him where he was going.

It was wise for the old blind man not to ask, because even if he asked, Wu Zhongyuan would not tell him the truth, the old blind man had always been inclined to use troops against the beast clan, and he wanted to go to the beast altar and have a head-on contact with the beast king.

At this point, the Beastmaster should have regained his sanity, so I can listen to his views on current affairs, as well as his attitude towards gods, demons, and humans......
