Guozijian is located on the edge of the imperial city, and Yao Silian can lead hundreds of students to come.

Obviously, what Xu Yi did today has spread throughout Chang'an City.

This kind of diffusion speed was something that even Xu Yi couldn't expect.

But.

After all, it's good news.

Among the millions of people in Chang'an City, if they can donate one-tenth of the money and grain, they can greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient food for disaster relief.

For this, Xu Yi is naturally happy to hear about it.

After the two saluted each other.

Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi with a smile on his face, with a look in his eyes and a sigh.

It's not that no one has mentioned the strategy of getting people to donate money and food.

It's just that the people who came up with this strategy, without exception, were all put into prison by Emperor Zhengde.

None of them.

In order to cope with the attack of the Huns, the Great Zhou Dynasty had already increased a lot of taxes.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, in order to supply the Mobei army, Emperor Zhengde increased more than ten taxes at once.

After the decisive battle of Mobei, it took twelve years for these taxes to slowly decrease.

However, it has only returned to the level of Zhengde fifteen years ago.

In this case, asking the people to donate money and food is said to be voluntary.

In fact, it will become mandatory in the following counties.

At that time, the people who have been forced into desperation will surely rise up!

It is precisely because of this understanding that Emperor Zhengde will not hesitate to put the person who made this suggestion into the heavenly prison and never use it.

A monument of merit can enable ordinary people to spontaneously donate their money and food to their families, which is not an unclever means.

Yao Silian sighed lightly and sighed: "You have done what countless people want to do but can't. ”

Xu Yi chuckled lightly and said modestly: "Mr. Yao has won the award." ”

Yao Silian smiled and crossed the topic, and said straight to the point: "When I was teaching today, I suddenly heard about Jing Zhaoyin's feat, and I saw people flocking along the way. ”

"With such unity, why worry about the drought, the old man is emotional, and he is willing to do something for disaster relief."

Yao Silian smiled and stretched out his finger to the hundreds of scholars behind him and continued: "Today, including the old decay, everyone obeys Jing Zhaoyin's orders. ”

Xu Yi did not shirk when he heard this, his face was straight, he faced Yao Silian and hundreds of students behind him, and solemnly bowed his hand.

He said in a deep voice: "This official represents hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong, thank you for your righteous deeds!" ”

Hundreds of Guozijian students also saluted: "Lord Jing Zhaoyin is serious. ”

......

With the addition of hundreds of students from Guozijian.

The efficiency of the entire Jingzhao Mansion has more than doubled in an instant.

The officials, whose arms were sore from writing, finally got a chance to relax.

Xu Yi stood straight in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, commanding one affairs after another in an orderly manner.

At the beginning, Xu Yi was also busy, and he also made one or two mistakes during the period.

Fortunately, he woke up in time and corrected it.

Now with the passage of time, Xu Yi is becoming more and more handy.

It seems that they are just officials and students who command less than a thousand people.

In fact, Xu Yi needs to be responsible for tens of thousands of enthusiastic people.

Counting, registering, checking, warehousing, warehousing, appeasing the people's emotions, replacing officials and students, dispatching carriages, and coordinating granaries.

It's really all learning.

And this experience will ultimately benefit Xu Yi for life.

......

Just when the busy heat was in full swing in front of the Jingzhao Mansion.

The incense in the imperial city and the avenue hall is curling.

Emperor Zhengde meditated cross-legged on a futon.

With his eyes slightly closed, he breathed slowly and steadily.

Beside him, a man with gray hair and a large purple robe slowly tapped the wooden fish in his hand.

The scriptures were constantly being recited.

For a time, the incense in the Great Avenue Hall was curling, and the true sound was bursting.

It's peaceful.

On the other hand, in the side hall of the avenue hall.

Six middle-aged men in yellow robes sat cross-legged on the futon, facing a huge Dan furnace in the center of the side hall, and continued to silently recite scriptures that others could not hear.

A moment later.

There was a series of crackling sounds in the Dan furnace.

And the sound grew louder and louder.

When "Bang! When a loud bang came into the main hall of the Great Avenue Hall.

The purple-robed old Taoist priest slowly placed the wooden fish in his hand on the table.

With a face full of reverence, he bowed down to the statue of Sanqing enshrined in the main hall.

And Emperor Zhengde on the side had already opened his eyes when the loud noise came, got up and quietly watched the old Taoist priest bow down devoutly.

After the old Taoist priest bowed down.

Emperor Zhengde hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, has the elixir been completed?" ”

The old Taoist priest smiled but did not say a word, saluted slowly towards Emperor Zhengde, and then walked into the side hall.

Emperor Zhengde looked anxious and hurriedly followed.

Why.

Emperor Zhengde has not yet entered the alchemy hall.

The old Taoist priest stopped him: "Your Majesty, there was a loud bang just now, and it was the vision of the sky when Dancheng was born. ”

"Your Majesty is certainly cultivating, but the foundation is still shallow, if you enter the alchemy room at this time, I am afraid that you will be shocked by the spirit pill that has just been formed."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to stay here for a while, and go to stabilize one or two."

"After the elixir is completed, Poor Dao will be presented to His Majesty as soon as possible."

The words fell.

Don't wait for Emperor Zhengde to continue to speak.

The old Taoist priest slowly closed the door of the side hall.

Emperor Zhengde was left anxiously waiting outside the palace.

Since the outbreak of the drought, Emperor Zhengde has often been in a trance, and he often suffers from nightmares in his sleep.

It was as if a ghost was holding down his hands and feet and covering his eyes.

Move, can't move, want to open your eyes, can't open them.

For this reason, Emperor Zhengde deliberately found a folk Taoist master and regarded him as a national teacher.

It's strange to say, after the arrival of the national teacher, he made alchemy several times. Emperor Zhengde obeyed, and the number of nightmares decreased significantly.

This can't help but make Emperor Zhengde pay more attention to the national teacher.

After the ceremony, Emperor Zhengde was in a trance again.

Several search pills were rejected by the old Taoist priest on the grounds of insincerity.

Later, Emperor Zhengde rewarded 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and nine treasures.

It itself eats fasting for three days, bathes and changes clothes before dawn, and comes to the Great Avenue Hall to worship sincerely.

Only then did it move the heavens, so that the old Taoist priest was able to reopen the altar and refine the elixir.

After a busy morning, Emperor Zhengde's legs were sore, and he finally heard the vision in the mouth of the old Taoist.

But now, they are being kept out.

How can Emperor Zhengde not be in a hurry in his heart.

At this moment, where is there still a bit of imperial majesty, he is clearly an old man who rushed to the doctor when he was sick.

Just when Emperor Zhengde gradually turned from anxious to irritable.

The door of the side hall of the Great Avenue Hall was slowly opened from the inside.

The old Taoist priest walked out with a mahogany tray in his hand and a solemn face.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the elixir is complete!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Emperor Zhengde's face, and he strode towards the old Taoist.

His hands paused as they were about to touch the yellow cloth covering the tray.

At the same time, his hands trembled slightly with nervousness.

Emperor Zhengde slowly lifted the yellow cloth with trembling hands, revealing two black pills the size of jujubes inside.

The elixir was unusually round, and in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde, it was really the most beautiful thing in the world.

Emperor Zhengde slowly picked up the pill, his face showed a pious look, and he slowly looked at the pill in his hand.

"Good, good! Reward! Reward! Emperor Zhengde suddenly applauded loudly and rewarded him.

Without waiting for Emperor Zhengde to say the reward, the great eunuch Zhan Zhu suddenly walked into the Great Dao Hall.
