Time waits for no one.

The most lethal thing in the world is time and years.

Ten years have passed in a hurry.

Unconsciously, ten years of time have disappeared, and the changes brought to the Northern Wei Kingdom during this time are incomparably huge.

During this period, the national strength of the Northern Wei State grew rapidly.

There are no corrupt officials, no more rebellious ministers and thieves, and no more princes and kings, and even those centuries-old families that have taken root in the country's social system and sucked blood have been emptied, and the powerful landlords who have been squeezed on the heads of the people have also been swept away.

How can the country not prosper?

So the people lived and worked in peace.

Under a series of measures taken by the imperial court to encourage childbearing, the people gave birth to a large number of children, and the population growth rate was more than ten times that of the past, and the population became large.

And all of them are refreshed and already have plenty of patriotism!

That's right, it's patriotism!

In recent years, Zhao Xuanqi has frantically developed the education industry, developing teaching and educating people and imparting knowledge with iron-blooded means.

There is even a rule that if a scholar wants to become an official, he cannot just read dead books, but must go to the countryside to work for a year before he can become a qualified official.

Zhao Xuanqi also turned the monopolized reading industry into a mass industry, and sent a large number of readers into the township to teach and educate people for free, teach people to read and write, and teach people to understand national affairs.

Thanks to his prestige, as well as the 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, including the great fame he has made over the years, no one can stop his movements.

At the same time, it also forced the people to read and write, cultivate the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and the imperial court would also reward the villagers who were good at learning.

If a young person has the potential to study, the state will also pay for it for free and support the family.

You must know that in the past, ordinary people could not read and learn words at all, this kind of thing that only Wenquxing could do, and only the children of wealthy families could do noble things, as a result, every ordinary person had the opportunity to learn.

Therefore, the people were very excited, moved to the ground, studied very hard, took the initiative to learn to read, and were very happy to send their children to study.

Once people have knowledge, they can think better, promote social progress, understand the concept of family and country, and have the thinking of a large collective.

Under Zhao Xuanqi's operation, many people already have a national concept of the Northern Wei State, cultivate sufficient patriotic spirit, and are willing to make dedication and sacrifice for the country.

At the same time, they are very disgusted with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, many people have cultivated good moral character, the society is very stable, and there are many fewer things to do to commit adultery.

With the development of the past ten years, the country's strength has become stronger and stronger, and there are more and more patriots, so the call for great unification has become higher and higher.

In that year, the Han Kingdom collapsed and turned into Southern Zhao and Northern Wei.

It has been hundreds of years since the split.

Promoted by this patriotic thought, many people can't wait to unify their home and country, restore the glory of the Han family, and make the Han family men great again!

The people are boiling and eager for unification!

Perhaps, this can be called the first cultural enlightenment.

……

Today, ten years later, Zhao Xuanqi's age continues to grow, and he is already forty-five years old.

His face was wrinkled, and white hair could be seen on his head, and the whole person was already showing his old age.

The body gradually became thinner and thinner, the skin became dull, and he no longer lived up to the appearance of his youth, and even his ability to think was declining.

In the past ten years, because the country is stable and needs to be pacified after the chaos, Zhao Xuanqi did not toss the country too much in other aspects.

Ruling by inaction is the most suitable for today's national conditions.

Zhao Xuanqi let the people develop, what he did was more to teach, and perfectly played the role of the emperor.

As the emperor's teacher, he carefully studied teaching and educating people every day, studied perfect copywriting, and then conveyed his own theories and ideas to the little emperor.

He put his own ambitions, his own ideas, how to govern the country, how to distinguish loyalty and treachery, and slowly educated Emperor Qinglong.

In terms of educating Emperor Qinglong, Zhao Xuanqi poured a lot of effort and spent a lot of time trying to train him into a Ming Jun.

In ancient times, a Ming monarch was the most important thing for the country!

Education alone is useless, and it is also necessary for the emperor to truly understand the suffering of the people and effectively contact the people at the bottom, so as to understand that the people are not simple and work hard.

For this reason, Zhao Xuanqi even took Emperor Qinglong to the countryside for a period of time, went to the countryside to farm, ate the unpalatable food eaten by the people, wore the rough cloth clothes worn by the people, and felt the suffering of the people.

And took Emperor Qinglong to secretly inspect officials, cultivate officialdom, learn to handle government affairs, and learn to analyze things.

The emperor lives up to his wishes.

Zhao Xuanqi's hard work was not in vain.

Because Emperor Qinglong was indeed a good emperor.

Emperor Qinglong lived up to his heavy responsibilities, studied seriously, and frantically absorbed knowledge.

He has a very good personality and a very noble character, not only very polite, but also logical thinking, flexible mind, and very quick to learn knowledge.

Everything Zhao Xuanqi said, he remembered it all, and he could even draw inferences from one case to another, with unique insights.

Emperor Qinglong will not be led by Zhao Xuanqi alone, he has his own independent thinking ability, and he is very stable in his work.

In these years of training, he already has the ambition of Zhongxing, and has a good ability to govern the country, and his political ability is almost full marks.

The most important thing is that Emperor Qinglong respects Zhao Xuanqi very much, and he will ask Zhao Xuanqi about everything, and he will take the initiative to ask Zhao Xuanqi if he doesn't understand something, which is very polite.

The two monarchs and ministers are very close to each other.

Zhao Xuanqi felt that with the ability of Emperor Qinglong now, in the near future, he would definitely be a Ming Jun!

He will be an emperor who is even more powerful than the Chinese Qin Emperor and Han Wu!

Under his leadership, the whole country will definitely become more prosperous and more brilliant!

Therefore, when Emperor Qinglong was twenty years old, Zhao Xuanqi had gradually begun to give power to Emperor Qinglong, and slowly let Emperor Qinglong start to govern in person.

He gradually handed over the power in his hands to Emperor Qinglong.

From the powerful minister who covered the sky with one hand, without any concealment and without any private hiding, he slowly handed over all the power in his hand to the emperor selflessly.

This kind of thing is explosive in any era.

Zhao Xuanqi's character has been praised by countless people, and countless officials have taken Zhao Xuanqi as the ultimate role model and learned from him.

"Your Majesty, that's all for today's lesson, then have a good rest, and the minister will retire."

Zhao Xuanqi ended today's lecture and slowly retired.

Emperor Qinglong stood up and respectfully saluted Zhao Xuanqi and said, "Teacher, go slowly." ”

Under the gaze of Emperor Qinglong, Zhao Xuanqi slowly left the room, left the courtyard, and then left the Brilliant Palace.

After Zhao Xuanqi left the palace, he was in a very good mood, because today's lesson Emperor Qinglong had completed perfectly.

Judging from the assessment, Emperor Qinglong already has the ability to handle government affairs independently.

Even if he doesn't have himself, he can perfectly deal with the ministers, crush those civil and military ministers to death, and control the government firmly.

"Your Majesty can already govern alone."

"Just wait for an opportunity, and then we can do the next thing!" Zhao Xuanqi returned home, his eyes flashing with a fine light.

In this ten years, the country has been stabilized.

The whole country seems to be at peace, as if it has given up the use of force, away from war, and only cares about stable development.

However, this is only on the surface.

Secretly, Zhao Xuanqi did not stop cultivating the army for a moment.

Over the years, he recruited troops for the imperial court, trained powerful armies, gathered warriors who could recruit and fight, looked for generals who were good at fighting, and all kinds of strategists and talents.

Including raising a large number of horses.

Under his cultivation, the 100,000 elite soldiers ten years ago have developed into 300,000 or 400,000 elite soldiers!

The firearms unit has been fully equipped, and the army has the most advanced musket unit of this era.

At the same time, even the most suitable cannons in ancient times, such as the redcoat cannon, have been made, and there are very many of them, and as long as the cannonballs are installed, they can fire the most terrifying power.

Able to smash strong walls!

Able to smash people and horses to pieces!

Including all kinds of explosives, they are also produced in large quantities and equipped in the army to form a terrifying combat force.

Among these 300,000 elite soldiers, in addition to infantry, most of them are cavalry!

Cavalry was the ace army of this era.

With cavalry there is the ability to go on expeditions!

The cavalry's strong mobility can support it to stay away from its homeland and go to other areas for battle, moving around in a short period of time, coming and going freely.

With these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, as well as tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry, the ability to go on an expedition is already there!

But in this feudal antiquity, it was more difficult than imagined to go on an expedition.

The cavalry is only initially capable of expeditions, and what really determines the importance is food!

Once there is a war, the soldiers in the army will have no time to farm the land, and they will need food to eat, drink, and Lazar.

People eat horses and chew, and even the grass consumed every day is astronomical.

Fighting a war is not child's play, any mistake can be a complete loss, as long as you have food, you can support your expedition!

Therefore, as early as the beginning, Zhao Xuanqi had already found experienced agronomists, found those agronomist families, and taught them the theory of hybrid rice.

Zhao Xuanqi has advanced theories in later generations, as well as various knowledge of hybrid rice, it can be said that he stands on the shoulders of giants and feeds these agronomists directly!

This kind of knowledge, for the ancient people, is absolutely upside down!

In the eyes of agronomists, Zhao Xuanqi is simply an immortal, and he can come up with such a terrifying theory!

Hybrid rice, select the seeds with excellent genes, and breed excellent offspring, so as to increase the grain yield dozens of times, so as to end the famine and let everyone in the world have enough to eat!

This great thing is the pursuit of agronomists throughout the ages!

Agronomists look at Zhao Xuanqi as they look at celestials, they learn hybridization knowledge very well, and then use this knowledge to frantically study rice, conduct crazy experiments, and go forward one after another.

Many people would rather die themselves than perfectly cultivate an excellent rice plant, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for this ideal!

In the cultivation of countless capable people.

After several years of development, the Northern Wei Kingdom already had its own hybrid rice.

This kind of hybrid rice belongs to the weakened version, and it is not as powerful as the hybrid rice of later generations, but in this period, it is also a dimensionality reduction blow.

Grain production has increased several times!

With this kind of rice, the imperial court selected areas suitable for rice cultivation in various places, and promoted rice cultivation in large quantities.

With the popularization of hybrid rice, grain production has soared wildly in recent years, and people everywhere have already stockpiled grain, and it has been difficult for people to starve to death at home.

It's not enough to eat, but at least it's not starving.

All the people couldn't believe that hybrid rice could have such a terrifying yield, and one acre of land could be used as ten acres of land!

The hybrid rice developed by Zhao Xuanqi has been sought after by everyone and praised by everyone.

Countless people who have experienced famine and people who have experienced the suffering of hunger all regard Zhao Xuanqi as a god.

This is the living immortal!

Zhao Xuanqi has received a new title: saint.

The merits of hybrid rice can be regarded as academicians in later generations, and they are also well-known figures.

In this ancient period, it was simply a direct canonization of gods, sanctification on the ground, and hundreds of people spontaneously created statues, carved Zhao Xuanqi's appearance, and continued to worship.

Every harvest year, when the grain production increases greatly, the people will worship the statue, thank Zhao Xuanqi for the harvest, and offer various sacrifices, and attribute all the credit for the harvest to Zhao Xuanqi.

And every year of famine and bad harvest, the people will also defeat Zhao Xuanqi, hoping that Zhao Xuanqi will bless everyone to get a good harvest year and bless the wind and rain.

Vaguely, in addition to the original title of Thor, Zhao Xuanqi has a new title:

The god of the harvest.

There is a saying among scholars that Zhao Xuanqi is a god from the upper realm, because he saw the hunger and disasters in the world, and saw the people displaced, because they couldn't eat enough and starved to death.

So at the risk of his life, he went to steal the harvest treasure of the God King, and after experiencing nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, he successfully obtained the treasure, and then he came to the world.

He selflessly dedicated the precious treasures of the God King to all ordinary people, and selflessly handed them over to all human beings in the world!

This treasure is hybrid rice!

This is food that only fairies can eat!

This legend spread farther and farther, and the more outrageous it became, and even a mythological system was born for this......

In addition, the overseas fleet sent by Zhao Xuanqi and the Silk Road opened up, after a few years, they also brought goods and plants from other places home to bring back the plants described by Zhao Xuanqi.

The caravans went through many hardships and dangers, traveled to several countries, brought back potatoes from other regions, and also found sweet potatoes, and found all this ancient high-yield life-saving plant.

The Northern Wei Kingdom has already started to cultivate these plants on a large scale and has reaped good profits.

In addition, all kinds of spices, as well as all kinds of gold and silver and other precious items, were almost continuously transported back to the Northern Wei Kingdom.

Zhao Xuanqi has long brought glassmaking, papermaking, and refined salt manufacturing methods to this world.

Therefore, in terms of trade, it is completely necessary to make those glass that are not very valuable into beautiful crafts, and you can exchange them for precious items in other countries, which is simply a blood profit.

Under the refined salt manufacturing method, the people are not short of salt to eat, and it is also a very good refined salt, the body is very healthy, and the farming is more powerful.

Over the years, with the blessing of potatoes and sweet potatoes, including hybrid rice, the Northern Wei Kingdom has long been short of grain, and countless foods have been piled up in the granaries of the government.

Food is piled up all over the floor, and the granary is full!

Now just wait for one opportunity, a perfect time, and the Northern Wei Kingdom can march south!

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

It's not just the people who yearn for unification.

In fact, Zhao Xuanqi is the one who is most eager for reunification.

Time waits for no one, Zhao Xuanqi is already in his 40s.

In modern times, this age is nothing.

But this is an ancient time when medical conditions were backward, and this was already considered an old man in ancient times, and almost half of his body was buried in the earth.

Once something happens one day, maybe you will close your eyes and lie down on the board as soon as you kick your legs.

Zhao Xuanqi wants to take advantage of the years he is alive and the years when he has the ability to go on the expedition to do something more earth-shattering!

It's like restoring the great unity!

As long as the great unification is restored, with Zhao Xuanqi's current identity and merits, after returning to the real world, the reward points obtained will definitely not be low, and he can definitely be reborn and rebel against his fate another day!

His desire for great unification is stronger than all else.

Just wait for an opportunity.

Wait for an opportunity to go south.

Just in the days that the people of the Northern Wei Kingdom were looking forward to, and in the days when Zhao Xuanqi was painstakingly waiting for the opportunity, the east wind came.

The time to wait has finally arrived!

On this day, the fine work lurking in the Southern Zhao Kingdom, 800 miles was expedited, took a fast horse, and returned to the capital with a good news and passed it to Zhao Xuanqi.

Due to natural and man-made disasters, a severe famine broke out in the Southern Zhao Kingdom!

One of the most terrible famines spread in the southern Zhao country, the people were displaced, and all parts of the country mourned, eating tree bark and cannibalism.

People everywhere have begun to rise up.

And because of corruption and corruption, the officials everywhere are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, all wine bags and rice bags, and they have no ability to suppress the uprising at all, and the court is all busy because of the domestic uprising!

That's the time!

This is the east wind that Zhao Xuanqi is waiting for!

In the room, Zhao Xuanqi clenched the information in his hand, and asked the spy in front of him with a voice trembling with excitement:

"Are you sure all this information is true?"

The spy knelt on the ground, raised his head high, showed an excited look on his face, and replied without hesitation in a sonorous and powerful voice: "My subordinates assure Wu Anjun with their heads that the information I said is true!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi laughed: "Okay, good! ”

In the midst of the surprise, Zhao Xuanqi hurriedly entered the palace, passed the good news to Emperor Qinglong, and expressed his intention to lead troops on an expedition.

After hearing this, Emperor Qinglong did not stop it, but agreed with Zhao Xuanqi's decision very much.

Over the years, Zhao Xuanqi has long won the deep trust of Emperor Qinglong.

In the eyes of Emperor Qinglong, Zhao Xuanqi is not only his teacher, but also more like his father, and the two sides have long had a deep relationship and have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other.

Although there is no blood relationship, it is better than blood relationship!

Emperor Qinglong fully supported Zhao Xuanqi's expedition, and did not think about Zhao Xuanqi's idea of being independent, and even expressed concern.

Emperor Qinglong said worriedly: "Teacher, you are already in your forties, expeditions to other countries, and you must take care of your body along the way!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi nodded and said: "At this age, I have been maintaining my body and practicing martial arts all these years, and I am not old at all, even now I need to eat three catties of meat and one catty of rice!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely lead our army to conquer the Southern Zhao Kingdom and restore the great unification!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xuanqi's eyes looked at Emperor Qinglong, and said sincerely: "I just want to clear the obstacles for Your Majesty." ”

"While I can still move, while I haven't died of old age, help Your Majesty complete the cause of unification of the country and complete this difficulty."

"I hope that before I leave, I can hand over a complete country to Your Majesty, and a healthy and prosperous country to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can promote the development of the country even more in the future."

Who can not be moved by such a courtier?

These words, like a needle, pierced into Emperor Qinglong's heart, in his eyes, Zhao Xuanqi is like a meticulous old father, even when he is old and dying, he has to clear the obstacles for his son.

Emperor Qinglong was moved after hearing this, tears faintly fell in his eyes, his eyes were half red, and he said movingly: "I already know the teacher's good intentions, please accept my worship!" ”

He solemnly saluted Zhao Xuanqi.

Zhao Xuanqi immediately grabbed Emperor Qinglong's hands, held his hands tightly, helped him up, and admonished:

"I need to be in another country remotely, Your Majesty can be in charge of the country in person, presumably there will be no need for long assistance in the future, I hope Your Majesty can stabilize the rear, stabilize the government, this is the minister's test for Your Majesty, the minister believes in Your Majesty's ability."

Emperor Qinglong understood the importance of the matter, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, teacher, I will not let you down, and in the days you leave, I will definitely stabilize the country and not have a little accident!" ”

"After the teacher's triumphant return, I would like to invite you to hold a celebration banquet, and I will personally drink wine for the teacher!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi showed a smile on his face and replied: "Then I can wait for Your Majesty's celebration banquet, wait for Your Majesty's wine to drink, and Your Majesty should get married at this age, the minister's daughter has reached the right age, and when the minister comes back, how about the two of you get married?" ”

Emperor Qinglong agreed: "I can't ask for it." ”

"I hope that the teacher will come back safely and officiate the wedding for me, so close to ......"

In this regard, Zhao Xuanqi said his final goodbye to Emperor Qinglong, and explained all the things that should be explained to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After instructing the matter, Zhao Xuanqi walked briskly and slowly left the palace.

"Clear thousands of miles, all eight wildernesses; Funing all countries, calming the Quartet. Open the obscurity of the nine domains, and set the glory of a thousand years; The passage of the previous generation has not been passed, and the former king has not been served! ”

Expedition to the South!

Zhao Xuanqi ordered the generals, and under the ambition, he led the army of the Northern Wei State and led this group of elite soldiers and strong generals who were eager for great reunification to go to the south.

Everyone is in high spirits, and everyone is not afraid of death!

Southern Expedition to the Southern Zhao Kingdom!

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.

Ten years of Anbang, ten years of sharpening knives, just now!

It's time for these centuries-old divided countries to regain unity!
