The old emperor has always been very concerned about his four sons, especially the younger son with a bad maternal background.

The youngest son, who has always been cowardly, has a great change in temperament after being injured, and at the same time his talent has changed.

As soon as Xiao Ran was born, he must have checked his cultivation qualifications, and the human emperor body, which only appeared in the royal family in history, would not appear for no reason.

The old emperor is nothing, maybe out of guilt, or out of imperial inheritance, he chooses not to see or know.

Knowing that his son had been torn apart a long time ago, occupying his body was indeed an outsider, I believe that this old emperor was absolutely uncomfortable in his heart.

However, Xiao Ran knew that when he wrote a letter and came back, the old emperor was very happy.

This is what Xiao Xiao said,

The old emperor ate an extra bowl of rice that day, and the next day he began to buy grain, even if the ministers objected.

The only person who saw through his identity had already left the world, and now it was even more impossible for others to know Xiao Ran's identity.

At this time, he felt a little lonely.

After an hour, the old emperor's body gradually became cold.

Xiao Ran pushed open the door of the dormitory, everyone was a cultivator, and they already knew that the old change of land had no breath.

Xiao Xiao rushed in with red eyes.

Xiao Ran's three elder brothers are also sad now.

The three elder brothers have a great desire for power, and they actually resent the old emperor in their hearts, but seeing a series of actions after Xiao Ran came back, they all knew that the old emperor's vision was good.

If they were the emperors, it would be good to be able to hold the country, but it would not necessarily be annexed by the Purple Flower Country.

Therefore, by now, they have completely lost their expectations for the throne.

At this moment, they also stimulated the trace of admiration in their hearts for the old emperor.

became the three sons of a lost old husband's father.

Xiao Ran looked at the sunset, his expression was calm, but his heart was not calm.

The two concubines were also distressed at this time, because Xiao Ran was really sad this time, he had never been sad before, this was the first time.

But this needs to be resolved by Xiao Ran himself.

......

In the middle of the night, in the sky of the imperial city, Xiao Ran looked at the prosperous imperial city as much as day, and felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.

This is what his father has guarded all his life, and only at this moment did Xiao Ran have a sense of belonging.

He has always watched the world from outsiders, because he wants to return to the modern world, and the core reason is that she has no concern here.

But now he has.

"Why, as a cultivator like you, it is normal to face the birth, old age, sickness and death of your family!"

He Weiran didn't know when he appeared beside Xiao Ran.

"How old are you?" Xiao Ran squinted at He Weiran, his eyes full of suspicion.

At this time, he suspected that He Weiran was already eighty years old, or a hundred years old!

It's just that as soon as he said it, he got a violent shudder.

"Can't you ask if you don't know the age of a girl?" He Weiran said as a matter of course.

Xiao Ran: "......"

Xiao Ran estimated that this charming beauty should be sixty years old.

Cultivators are the easiest to look at, and many people look to be in their thirties, maybe one hundred and thirty years old.

Xiao Ran inquired before.

Actually, it's the same with the lights off.

But he didn't dare to say it.

The two of them just admired the moon.

"The moon here is quite round, too!"

.....

After the inclusion of the 18 countries in the territory, the road to integration has actually just begun.

Xiao Ran planned to completely connect the eighteen southern countries and the five southern countries through cement roads.

Xiao Ran pulled the secretary of the Ministry of Construction and the secretary of the Ministry of Finance to discuss together.

Xiao Ran's plan was approved by the Ministry of Construction, but the Ministry of Finance's Shangshu frowned, Xiao Ran knew that it was too difficult to get money from him, even if the treasury was very full now.

"Tian Shangshu, the Eighteen Kingdoms are now in vain, due to the streamlining of the army and the major government offices, now the strong labor force is sufficient, and some of them go to farming, but many people in the sea area do not have jobs, and the family is making money by relying on the pillars of the family, we send money to let them work, which is also a good thing for social stability, so you have to cooperate with the Ministry of Construction to do this well!"

Xiao Ran remembered that during the Second World Crisis, North American countries only got out of the Great Depression by building water conservancy and raising public spending.

It makes sense for this theory to be open to the world.

"But, Your Majesty, you have to build eight vertical and eight horizontal cement roads, even if you add the finances of the Eighteen Kingdoms, it is not enough!"

Tian Shangshu said with a sad face.

"The money is spent, but when you get the money, you have to use the money to buy living materials, and the sale of living materials will be taxed by the imperial court, so that a good defeat cycle will be formed!"

Xiao Ran's words made Tian Shangshu a little moved. However, this house is to be seen, it will take a long time, it is estimated that it will be a long time after the tax is drawn, and the early stage is a large amount of investment, and the finance is really not enough.

Xiao Ran continued: "Although it is difficult at the beginning, then the royal family of the country will donate some, and at the same time, I can also take out the dividends of the urban beauty for a while, and wait for the formation of a good cycle of business!"

Seeing that His Majesty could even give up the dividends of the shares of the beauty in the city, Tian Shangshu was full of confidence at this time. "I will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Construction also stood up to receive the order.

"Okay, the rest of the matter, you and a few prime ministers to discuss, this matter must be fast, mobilize all the idle strong labor, within a year, build eight vertical and eight horizontal cement roads!"

Xiao Ran's order was well executed.

The people of the Twenty-Three Kingdoms and the retrenched army began to build roads.

Everyone gets a decent amount of wages and rations.

The Xiao Dynasty presents a good atmosphere.

The distant Tianwen Tiandu and the Buddha Kingdom also knew Xiao Chao's movements.

At this time, they also had a lot of cement formulas, but they didn't have the courage to build them, because it was too expensive.

Xiao Ran also did not stop the spread of cement formulas.

Because the people here obviously don't have the mentality of building roads first to get rich.

Of course, Xiao Ran's main purpose is not to get rich, but to mobilize soldiers, horses, grain, grass and various living materials through smooth routines.

The demons have landed, and there is certainly no time to develop business.

Since the 23 Kingdoms is progressing well, many people have proposed to continue the expedition.

But Xiao Ran knew that now was not the time to make a move, the Xiao Dynasty was expanding too fast, and the people were only initially returning to their hearts, and it would take a certain amount of time to integrate.

After a few years, Xiao Ran will definitely come back and completely take down the small countries outside the three major dynasties.

In the end, he will definitely face the three major dynasties.

This is a fate that cannot be changed.

Xiao Ran's cultivation is also improving day by day.

The blessing of the imperial fortune on him was too great, and after the average cultivator reached the middle three realms, his cultivation speed slowed down significantly.

The threshold of the Seven Realms has put an end to the illusions of the vast majority of people.

However, Xiao Ran knew that he was about to reach the peak of the Six Realms, not the peak of strength, but the peak of cultivation.

On this day, Xiao Ran practiced in the palace hall, which was his practice hall, and others could not get close.
