Chapter 217: It's all adults who are well led
In addition to the Imperial Palace, some electric lights were also installed along the way when the power lines were laid.
Therefore, after the electrification was opened, the palace and a small part of the roads in the capital were lit up.
This is the first time that the people of this era have seen the so-called electric light.
A lot of people came out to watch, pointing fingers.
"This candle is not like a candle, and a lantern is not like a lantern, what the hell is it?"
"I heard that His Majesty made it up, so naturally we can't understand it."
"Hey, isn't it the emperor of the family today, and you can still do this."
"The emperor's affairs, how can we discuss them at will."
"But don't say it, this thing is really bright, and the point is that it won't go out when the wind blows."
"It can't be a fairy trick."
"Where are the gods in this world, don't dream."
The palace is also brightly lit, and the main palaces are brightly illuminated.
Gu Jinge still lives in Xianghua Palace, and the two have been together for a long time, and the relationship is very good.
Especially with Shen Zhining here, she can make food at every turn, and her life can be nourished.
Tonight, looking at the electric light, the two ate hot pot together.
This hot pot has been around for a long time, but Shen Zhining still specially designed and manufactured a mandarin duck pot.
Smokeless charcoal burns under the copper pot, and the soup is bubbling with a spicy and non-spicy flavor.
There are plenty of ingredients, such as thinly sliced tender beef tenderloin, live shrimp, abalone, king crab, and more.
After all, as an immortal cultivator, it is still very easy to catch some fish and shrimp in the sea.
With the addition of electric lights, the ingredients are illuminated with a layer of light, which is not comparable to candles and oil lamps.
However, plastic has not yet been invented, so the light switch is a very primitive kind of manual pulling.
Cuizhu and Shisu have never seen an electric light, and the two have been researching and trying to test the amount of electricity.
"It's amazing, although we immortal cultivators can also make thunder and lightning, I didn't expect it to be able to glow."
"I thought that His Majesty was using some kind of electricity to make weapons and deal with immortal cultivators, but now look at this thing, the power is not good."
The two muttered and discussed.
Over there, Shen Zhining didn't stop, but Gu Jinge couldn't help but look: "Sister, your light bulb was really made by you."
Shen Zhining was sipping beef, she nodded: "Naturally, with a little immortal art, it is not very difficult, sister should learn it."
It's not bad to master one more skill, Gu Jinge agreed: "And this electricity, what else can I do."
Shen Zhining is from Hyundai, and she smiled: "There are many things that can be done, such as induction cookers, air conditioners, refrigerators, cars, and so on."
Then she began to explain.
Gu Jinge was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect such a wide application.
Eventually, she concluded, "Your Majesty is not useless."
She has to admit that there is still a little bit of sparkle on Xu Mochen's body.
There was a commotion in the palace and the capital, and tonight's Prime Minister's Mansion was also full of courtiers.
In the past two years, to tell the truth, several loyal ministers in the court have been killed by the emperor, and the future of the great cadres depends on the efforts of the remaining ones.
But Duanjun is not without ability, at least the research and promotion of hybrid rice is recognized by the Shifang World.
No one is afraid of too much food.
They are also very concerned about what kind of hydropower station His Majesty has recently engaged in to generate electricity.
Today, when the results were finally ushered in, everyone was relieved to see the lights and test the electricity.
Therefore, they all gathered at the prime minister's house to celebrate, drinking and talking happily one by one.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty has mobilized so many craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and I heard that it cost a lot of silver, and the lower officials thought that electricity was a great thing, and this is the result?" One officer scoffed.
"Lights? Laughing to death, it's used for lighting, look at the night pearls on the walls around here, I really don't know what to do with electricity."
In the hall of the prime minister's house, because of the banquet, the surrounding walls were already filled with night pearls the size of basketballs, illuminating the room.
"Needless to say, what treasures can there be in Your Majesty's palace, there is no night pearl, so naturally I think about electric lights."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials have tried it, and I'm afraid that the electricity can't even kill the immortal cultivators who are at the beginning of the Qi Refining Realm, so there's nothing to worry about."
"With so much money from the treasury and a huge amount of momentum, this thing was done, if it weren't for our group of loyal ministers, the country would have perished a long time ago."
"Yes, all of this is led by adults, let's toast adults together."
The prime minister's face was calm, and he raised his wine glass to signal, and everyone drank together.
Unlike other people's excitement, the prime minister's heart is already very vigilant about Xu Mochen.
He looked at the courtiers who were staggered, and secretly scolded these stupid pigs in his heart, who had been sold by the Cloud Realm, and he didn't know it.
In that case, he doesn't mind pushing behind and taking a look at His Majesty's hole cards by the way.
"Next year will be the triennial imperial examination," the prime minister put down his glass, "It is also the first imperial examination system held after the unification of the world."
This is a good time for us to elect talents, Your Majesty is deaf, and likes to use electric lights to promote farming.
But in the final analysis, it must be the good ministers who support the foundation of the great cadres for thousands of years."
Entering this topic, all the courtiers also had a correct attitude.
That's right, the imperial examination system is the foundation of a country.
Immortal cultivators use the spread of cultural knowledge and the Dharma seal into it to spread among mortals, providing them with an endless stream of faith and immortal fate.
This is the real national event!
In the past, in troubled times, there were differences between various countries on the one hand, which made it difficult to implant unification.
But now it is different, Middle-earth is already a country, and they want to take the opportunity of this imperial examination to further strengthen the cultural rule of the human race.
"My lord is worthy of the words of the old man who seeks the country," the official secretary stood up and bowed, "Talent is the foundation of the country, without talent, technology is just the icing on the cake."
As important ministers of the DPRK, we must overcorrect Your Majesty and support the cadres to get on the right track."
"That's right," one official chimed in, "Your Majesty's unfolding of hybrid rice, hydroelectric power stations, and the like is only a symptom but not a cure.
In this day, the status of the Soldier is still in the first place, and it is unshakable."
"It's still an adult's wisdom, without the adult's dedicated assistance, this big cadre would have died a long time ago."
Everyone said yes.
"This time, all parties will pay attention," the prime minister smiled, "The imperial examination is dominated by the Ministry of Rites, and the two adults of the Ministry of Rites have to do their best."
The two of them, the Ministry of Rites and the Squire, got up to receive the order.
"The first imperial examination," the prime minister continued, "I am sure that people from all over the world will come, and the military department will also inform the soldiers and horses of the five cities to do a good job in the security of the capital."
And everyone, when you go back, you have to talk to the sect, the world of the ten directions will come when it comes, but you can't make trouble."
There must be immortal cultivators who come to the exam, and those with good grades will naturally become one of them.
The imperial examination is not only a good opportunity to find Terran officials for the Great Cadres, but also a good opportunity to supplement the officials of the Immortal Cultivators.
Before reunification, various countries also had imperial examinations, and they all operated in this way.
Generally, those in the front rankings are all immortal cultivators.
In terms of mastering knowledge, immortal cultivators are faster than mortals, and more importantly, the content of the exam, the textbooks, etc., were originally formulated by immortal cultivators for the human race, and they have the advantage of roots.
Everyone understands the key to this.
In particular, he may be able to use this imperial examination to regain control of the several departments that were lost in front of him.
One by one, they began to be active again.
The situation in the capital is quietly changing, and Xu Mochen doesn't know about it.
After dealing with the main problems of Lanzhou Hydropower Station, we will set the pharmaceutical factory,
The steel mill and other projects were planned, and Xu Mochen returned to the capital.
Looking at the electric light in the imperial study, he was quite satisfied.
"The fire department has to keep up," Xu Mochen instructed, "Now our technology is not in place, and after a long time, it will cause a fire."
Most of the buildings of the palace are made of wood, which can be easily destroyed in the event of a fire.
Of course, Xu Mochen and other immortal cultivators are here, and this fire can't be burned.
He is worried about the use of private electricity in the future.
Tang Derun wrote down the matter, and handed over a bunch of notes by the way: "Your Majesty, this is a recent matter played by the courtiers, and the important ministers have been singled out.
Next year, it will be a triennial imperial examination, and talented people from all states will participate in it."
Imperial examination? Xu Mochen is no stranger.
But after knowing the immortal cultivators, his attitude towards the imperial examination changed.
