Xu Mochen returned to the capital.

This trip will be several months, and when I come back and settle down, I will have a court meeting.

The summer in the capital is very hot, and the eggs are thrown on the stone slab to dry for half a day, and it is estimated that they are also a little cooked.

Although the place of the court meeting is large, there are many courtiers who participate, and with the official uniform, it is actually a kind of torment.

Fortunately, Xu Mochen, as a benevolent monarch, has always been sympathetic to the ministers, and this time he also put a lot of effort into arranging.

Around the court, there are pots of ice cubes, and this ice-making technique is very simple for Xu Mochen.

Then behind the ice cubes, the attendants waved large fans to send bursts of cool air in.

Therefore, when the ministers arrived, they all felt a sense of coolness.

This immortal cultivator, in fact, doesn't care about the cold and heat, but what he wants is this dignity.

You see, Your Majesty still cares for us.

Naturally, all the seats were replaced with bamboo and rattan chairs, which could relieve the heat when touched.

When the ministers sat down, a palace maid came over with a cold sour plum soup.

"I have to say that Your Majesty's thoughts are still in place."

"What if Ningzhou got through, it's not to see our faces when we come back."

"Don't say it, the matter in Ningzhou is much beyond our expectations."

"Son of Heaven, I just don't know how much national fortune has been used."

"Accept someone's daughter into the palace and kill her father, hey! How to say this. ”

"The prime minister is still sick, let's take a look first."

One by one, they are talking about military affairs.

Xu Mochen arrived, he walked up to the throne with a spring breeze on his face, and when he saw that everyone was about to salute again, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal: "Excuse me, everyone is an important minister of the Great Cadre, and work together to share the worries for the country and the king. ”

The ministers said that it was natural for the country and the people.

Xu Mochen sat down: "Something happened recently, which made me very sad.

In particular, Shen Changfeng, the envoy of the general government, Shen Changfeng and Lord Shen, unfortunately contracted a serious illness and died, which was a major loss for the great cadres.

Besides, Lord Shen is the father of Concubine Xian, so I should express my feelings. ”

Silence.

Seriously ill? Didn't you kill that?

The great loss of the Great Qian, Your Majesty, don't be funny, everyone knows that Shen Changfeng collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, not only the human race and the Great Qian's immortal cultivation world want to betray it.

This kind of goods should have died a long time ago.

Xu Mochen's face was full of sadness, and he turned back to Tang Derun and signaled: "Make a decree." ”

Tang Derun received the order and stepped forward to read the holy decree.

First of all, he affirmed Shen Changfeng's dedication for so many years, and recognized him as an indispensable good minister, and now he has died of illness, remembering his hard work, plus he is the national ruler, and he will be buried in a beautiful place on the next day.

It's easy to do things when he's dead, and he doesn't know where his body is, it's just to carry the coffin and make a look.

Secondly, Shen Changfeng was commended for teaching his daughter, and the virtuous concubine was very popular, and she was still ranked among the courtiers for the Shen family to elect a new head of the family.

Of course, this new head of the family is a proper human race.

As for the General Administration, Xu Mochen also announced adjustments.

One by one, the ministers bowed their heads and listened, and no one objected.

There is only one Shen family and one general administration secretary on the left and right, and it is irrelevant.

Your Majesty likes power, so I'll give it to you to play with the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If it's too much, I'll kill you.

Xu Mochen's eyes swept over, and he was very satisfied.

Shen Changfeng's matter ended in this way, which he expected.

But what happened next......

After Tang Derun's announcement was completed, the courtiers sighed one by one, echoing a few words of advice to enhance the atmosphere.

Xu Mochen waited for them to finish speaking, and nodded in approval: "So all the ministers, as long as you do your best in the future, I will definitely give you a good explanation in the future." ”

Your Majesty, we don't need to, because we will surely outlive you.

But this kind of truth cannot be said.

"In addition, there is another big thing," Xu Mochen turned to the topic, "I went to Ningzhou, and I encountered a lot of things, which gave me a new idea.

Ningzhou is close to the sea, and foreign countries have developed maritime transportation, so we must also catch up in this regard.

Therefore, I decided to open Ningzhou as a place for trade with foreign countries, and I don't know what the ministers think. ”

It's coming, it's finally here.

They have also received the relevant rumors, but the prime minister has not expressed his position.

Your Majesty must have discussed this kind of thing with the prime minister.

The fact that the prime minister did not express his position can show that the prime minister does not agree.

"Your Majesty," the military department is still in the list, "Daqian is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and it has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times, and it is not easy to open the border passes, this is the ancestral system, please think twice." ”

"What the military department secretary said is extremely true," the household department secretary also listed, "The foundation of the great cadres to build the country lies in agriculture, and when agriculture is prosperous, the people are rich."

This arrangement of Shinong industry and commerce is determined by the sages, and Ningzhou is an important grain-producing state in the south.

Weichen thought that His Majesty's national policy should focus on encouraging Ningzhou to further open up its territory. ”

"What the two adults said is the principle of governing the country," the servants of the Ministry also came out, "Your Majesty, after all, foreign countries and Daqian have different cultures, they just covet the rich resources of Daqian, which opens the door to trade, and it is our Daqian who loses."

Moreover, once the door of the country is opened, people from foreign countries will come one after another, and the comings and goings will be mixed, which is not conducive to His Majesty's control of the people. ”

Xu Mochen's smile was a little stiff.

After all, in the era of underdevelopment, it is still very effective to avoid the invasion of foreign cultures.

But with Ningzhou and his party, Xu Mochen found that the times had changed.

For example, in the Pulan Kingdom, Xu Mochen believes that not to mention the cultivation of immortals, some of the technologies possessed by the human race have surpassed those of Daqian.

It was only through trade that he could get the technology he wanted.

After all, he relied on himself to pull the big cadres to modernization, which required too much energy.

Moreover, he thought that between the immortal cultivation world, they also needed to communicate with each other.

But he did not expect that the ministers were all opposed.

With the leaders of the three departments taking the lead, other ministers became more active.

"Your Majesty, my great Qian, is the Heavenly Empire, and the things that come out far exceed those of foreign countries, and trading with them is a tyrannical thing."

"Yes, besides, as soon as this wind opens, it is easy for the people to value business over agriculture, which will shake the country's foundation, please think twice."

"Ningzhou was originally the capital of the former Southern Guard, coupled with the new rebellion of King Ning, Weichen thought that today's plan should be based on strict prevention and internal governance, and it should not be easily opened."

"Your Majesty, this matter must have been made up by Ningzhou Taishou, it is really a crime of deceiving the king and misleading the country, Weichen implores His Majesty to issue an order to severely punish the relevant personnel of Taishou Mansion."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Your Majesty can't easily shake the ancestral system."

"My great cadres have been inherited for thousands of years, and everything in foreign countries is just a branch of the great cadres diverted out, how dare you trade with us reciprocal now."

"Your Majesty, Weichen and others are all heartfelt words, and I implore Your Majesty to adopt them."

……

In their view, there was no need for trade.

In this world, the origin of immortal art is Daqian, how can some trivial streams ascend to the hall of elegance.

Not a single one agreed.
