CHAPTER XIV

Jincheng, Imperial Palace.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, ninety cities, after thirty years, have all been built, and now they have begun to move the population of all walks of life to live in the city, in addition, according to Your Majesty's plan, now in my Shenzhou Kyushu, there are people who have spontaneously established cities and towns, attached to the major cities, according to the statistics conducted in the last three years, the population of my Shenwu Empire has reached tens of millions." Above the main hall, an old minister bowed to Zhuo Ao with an excited look on his face.

For a full thirty years, Zhuo Ao did not develop externally, but continued to develop people's livelihood, build cities, develop agricultural tools, build water conservancy, open science and take scholars, and make all industries prosperous, thirty years of time, from a land left by the god of war in Yujiang, almost ruined, re-established a powerful country, and now the population of the Shenwu Empire has grown explosively in the past 30 years, regardless of national strength, population, and thirty years ago, it has grown more than ten times, this merit alone is enough to make Zhuo Ao and this Manchu Dynasty civil and military celebrities through the ages.

Zhuo Ao showed a satisfied smile on his face, the city has the effect of suppressing the dragon qi, which can avoid the loss of dragon qi, now, the dragon qi obtained every day is enough to compare with the dragon qi collected in a month thirty years ago, his Nine Dragons Yan Zhen Recipe has now condensed the Nine Dragons, forming the image of the Nine Dragons day by day, only one step away, you can break the Golden Pill, the realm of the Dao Yuanying, and because of the different exercises, the Golden Pill condensed by the power of the Nine Dragons, all aspects of the attributes have exceeded the limit of the Golden Pill, and the innate attributes have reached 22 points, This is already a value that can only be possessed in the Yuan Infant Stage, as long as he can break through the last step and enter the Yuan Infant realm, his combat power can compete with the monks in the middle and even late Yuan Infant Stage.

If you break through the Yuan Baby. After returning to the other world, not to mention invincible among the holy kings. But if the Holy See wants to continue to knead him as before, it will break their gums.

But this time. Zhuo Ao is not ready to break through to Yuan Ying and go back, he has seen the strength of the Jade Emperor, the limit of this world's bearing, obviously not as simple as Yuan Ying, 800,000 summon points to enter such a world, it is undoubtedly a great luck, if the value of this world can not be squeezed clean, Zhuo Ao is very unwilling, he is tired of the kind of restrained life in the other world. After returning this time, he will give the Holy See a lesson that he will never forget.

Listening to the discussion of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Zhuo Ao looked at it with a smile, and did not speak, he could roughly judge the real situation through the dragon qi, and he was not afraid that someone would disobey him, and it was precisely because Zhuo Ao had such an ability over the years. Although the Shenwu Empire does not say that all the Manchu Dynasty are Qing officials, no one dares to cross the line and create unjust cases, as emperors. He is well aware of the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and within the scope of allowability, officials seek some personal gains. As long as it does not affect the people's hearts, he will generally turn a blind eye. But when it comes to dragon energy, there are people who rely on power. To create grievances and damage Zhuo Ao's dragon spirit, that is, to touch the core interests of Zhuo Ao, there is nothing to say about these people who can't see the situation clearly, investigate to the end and deal with it strictly.

Over the years, because of greed, they can't see Zhuo Ao's bottom line clearly or have a trace of luck, and there are not a few officials who have been robbed of Zhuo Ao's house and destroyed their doors, and therefore, although the Shenwu Empire does not say that all officials are selfless, it can be regarded as a clear and clear rule, and the matter of redress will never appear in the Shenwu Empire again, and it also makes the people very supportive of Zhuo Ao, the founding emperor, even if someone rebels, they will not get a response at all, and they will be annihilated by the people under their own rule without even needing the empire to send troops.

"How's the Ministry of Industry's sea vessel research?" Waiting for the Manchu Dynasty to gradually weaken, Zhuo Ao asked.

As soon as Zhuo Ao's words came out, the original discussion instantly quieted down, and the eyes of many generals flashed with excitement, although they didn't say it explicitly, but since Zhuo Ao asked this, it represented a signal that the empire was ready to fight abroad.

In fact, since ten years ago, with the continuous growth of the Shenwu Empire, the caravan of the Shenwu Empire has gradually increased the Silk Road and the sea route, and successively discovered some countries outside of Shenzhou, Zhuo Ao ordered the military department to actively train troops and prepare for war at all times.

"According to the sketches and some suggestions provided by His Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has gathered thirty-six top craftsmen After three years of research, the first batch of Tiangang dragon boats have entered the sea, the hull is nine zhang long and two zhang wide, which can carry 300 soldiers, and is equipped with 36 sky-breaking crossbows and 10,000 arrows for soldiers to fight. The Minister of Industry came out and talked eloquently.

"It has been 30 years since the founding of our Shenwu Empire, although the soldiers in the army are all screened out through strict training, but the arms are too single, in addition to the regular soldiers, some soldiers with special combat capabilities, such as latent advances, mountain operations and even desert operations, snow operations of the soldiers to form a separate unit, specially used in special environment operations, the military department, this matter as soon as possible to make a division." Zhuo Ao thought for a moment.

"In addition, in addition to the army, a navy will be added specifically for naval operations, and at present, the surrounding small maritime countries such as Yishu and Ryukyu are currently targeted for naval training, and it is imperative that the navy be formed as soon as possible."

"Obey the order!" Xu Da stepped forward and bowed in response.

The Shenwu Empire's annual expenditure on the army is the largest, but for thirty years, it has basically been raising troops, and now it is time to use them.

"Retreat." Seeing that the ministers had nothing else to do, Zhuo Ao waved his hand, got up and left under the courtesy of the ministers.

……

It had just snowed heavily, and everything in the world seemed to be covered in a layer of silver.

As Zhuo Ao's dormitory, Minghuang Palace can be called unique, the palace is divided into three layers, the top floor of the attic, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire imperial city, but in this has never been entered by outsiders on the third floor of the attic, the most eye-catching is the crystal clear jade bed, is Zhuo Ao from a famous mountain accidentally obtained 10,000 years of warm jade, the whole body is moist, even in the cold winter season, also exudes bursts of warmth, the outside is cold and forested, even if there is no fire, the attic is still warm as spring.

In the light gauze curtain, the scene on the warm jade bed loomed, and vaguely, two figures could be discerned overlapping and lingering.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be bad?" Although they have been married for 30 years, they still feel shy and embarrassed to be admired by their men in such broad daylight.

"Old husband and wife, what are you afraid of?" Zhuo Ao smiled and admired the moving curves, and said indifferently, thirty years ago, the homeless Golden Swallow followed Zhuo Ao back to Jincheng, and finally failed to resist Zhuo Ao's endless means.

"It's just that Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you should focus on the community, so that you can only deal with the government as a doppelganger, but Your Majesty is intoxicated with gentleness in the countryside, and in the long run, if it spreads, Your Majesty's reputation is not good." After all, Jin Yanzi was born in the family of the official eunuch, and she was exposed to it since she was a child, although she later lived in the rivers and lakes, but the tutor she received when she was a child always felt that Zhuo Ao was a little unprofessional.

"You~" Zhuo Ao pinched Qiong's nose: "I have to take care of state affairs, but I can't snub my queen because of this, if it's peaceful today, many things, I only need to control the overall situation, one doppelganger is enough, why pretend to be a gesture?" ”

"If the emperor of an empire is busy with state affairs all day long and thinks hard, then either he is about to die, or the emperor himself is incompetent and does not have enough pattern, so he can only make up for it with diligence, what I want to do is not only to build a strong empire, but also to cultivate immortality and immortality." Zhuo Ao leaned against the edge of the bed and smiled.

Jin Yanzi thought that in the past 30 years, not only did she not look old, but with the help of Zhuo Ao, she successfully formed a golden pill, and thought of being able to stay with Zhuo Ao forever, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and at the same time, she was moved and ashamed that Zhuo Ao had only one woman in the past 30 years, and she was ashamed, in the feudal era, as the emperor's woman, but she was always the only one by the emperor's side, which would inevitably leave people with the impression of a jealous woman.

"Since Your Majesty knows that we still have a long time to go, why bother with too much attachment, in the long run, it will always damage Your Majesty's spirit, and it will be unfavorable to the country and Your Majesty, and it is a sin for the concubine." Jin Yanzi looked at the time and resolutely pushed Zhuo Ao out.

Gentle Township is a hero's mound, throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes are short of breath because of lingering in the gentle township, playthings are demoralized, and finally disappear from everyone, although moved by Zhuo Ao's love and pity, but she does not allow her man to lose his mind because of his own playthings.

"Recently, I have realized that I am afraid that I will be in retreat for a period of time, and I will temporarily hand over the government to Xu Da, Zhao Yun, and Shi Fei to take care of them, and the affairs in the palace will be handed over to the queen." After lingering for a while, after getting dressed neatly, Zhuo Ao looked at Jin Yanzi and said.

He has stayed in the realm of the Nine Dragons for ten years, in the past thirty years, he has collected the hundred schools of thought, Taoist classics, in the heavenly court, the blood clone has also secretly searched for the heavenly court exercises for reference, and now, for the next realm, there have been some inferences, especially in the recent period, the dragon qi accumulated in the body for ten years has reached a limit, and it is time to break through the next realm.

To break through, the True Dragon Clone naturally can't stay outside, and even the Blood Clone in the Heavenly Court has to enter a state of retreat and fully comprehend the next realm of the Nine Dragons Yan True Technique.

"Your Majesty rest assured." Jin Yanzi nodded, under the guidance of Zhuo Ao over the years, she has an innate body as a support, and her entry has advanced by leaps and bounds, coupled with the majestic dragon qi of this world, she has now given birth to Jin Dan, she knows the importance of retreat, and nodded and promised.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Court, the Blood Clan Zhuo Ao looked at the white-haired witch kneeling in front of him and said, "The deity must retreat for a period of time to block all the people who come for me." ”

"Rest assured, master." (To be continued.) )
