However, it is said that after Li Ran temporarily defeated Ji Xinghan as a secondary striker, the situation of this year's martial arts competition was completely reversed and became the home of the Daxuan Imperial Court.

According to the competition system, three days later, he, Li Huan, and Xie Huan will play two of them to fight against the Dongying ninja Xiang Jing Yixin, and another Dongying sub-striker.

Don't think about it, the other Dongying second striker must be the Dongying Major General Yuan Yujing personally went into battle.

Li Ran's current consideration is to take the initiative to abstain, and then use illusion techniques to compete as Li Huan, after all, he is bound to win the position of "military governor" in the East China Sea.

And he himself, as a gentleman, according to the Great Xuan Ancestor system, cannot directly take charge of military power, Jun is not as awesome as Murong Yu back then, and when he went out to conquer the Ice Country, he was only a fictitious position of a chief military advisor.

Therefore, the best way is to let Li Huan become the military governor who controls the martial forces of the three major provinces in the East China Sea, and he, Li Ran, only needs to retreat behind the scenes and slowly train this little brother.

As for the next draw, it doesn't matter at all, he just needs to beat his opponents one by one and win the elite crown.

After the end, hundreds of officials came to congratulate him, the new imperial national teacher, Li Ran had already adapted to these things in the officialdom, and he returned the salute one by one with ease.

However, what surprised him a little was that there was actually Pei Zhongshu, the head of the household, who knew that this guy was the proud protégé of Prime Minister Zhang Ningfu, a core member of the "Xiang Party", and he came to show favor to himself, which naturally showed the powerful minister behind him, and his close attitude towards himself.

It seems that although this Ning Fu is on the side of Xiao Lingqiu in the battle for the crown prince, he still has his own thoughts in terms of political position.

For the upcoming battle between Xiao Lingqiu and Xiao Qingxue, Li Ran's current plan is still that the two will not help each other, develop secretly, and ensure the safety of his family.

After all, he now has no political power or foundation other than the big tree of the empress.

The "Imperial National Teacher" he is currently being awarded from the second rank is somewhat similar to the ancient Taishi and Taifu in his previous life, and it is an honorary title without any political power.

However, as the former national teacher, he now has the right to enter and leave the inner palace at will, and he can be regarded as the empress's exclusive staff, so he can use whatever he wants...... Oh no, it's the on-call kind.

Of course, what Li Ran cared about was never this, what really made him cool was the scope of the functions of the Imperial National Master in the Shinto Prison.

Yes, as a national teacher of the First Dynasty, he is now at the same level as the superintendent of the Shinto Prison, Xuan Xin Lao Dao, and even one level older than the latter.

He is now the chief alchemist of the empire recognized by the Son of Heaven, and all the alchemy societies under the Shinto Supervisor, the alchemist clan, the alliance, etc., are all subject to his deployment.

This is very practical, in the future, what kind of natural treasures does he need to use, just ask the Shinto supervisor to call it, and it is definitely the top quality in the country.

At noon, Li Ran was a rare place to have lunch with Xiao Wan'er in the Fourth Princess's Mansion.

There are more than 20 palace dishes, neatly placed on a table, it is really a delicacies of the mountains and seas, and it is beautiful.

"Li Ran, have you always been so powerful since you were a child?" Xiao Wan'er asked casually as she ate a small snack.

"No, I have slowly become more powerful after I met Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I was influenced by you. Li Ran said with a smile.

His words were a little heartfelt, and he had a feeling that if it weren't for Xiao Wan'er's existence, he wouldn't have crossed over, let alone get this system.

Although most of the time, he chooses to fit in and enjoy his current identity, but for a person with strong rational thinking, there are some things that are impossible to not want at all.

"You. ”

Xiao Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm getting better and better at talking!

As she spoke, she put a piece of chicken thigh into Li Ran's bowl.

"By the way, Li Ran, what kind of official is my mother emperor who named you the "Imperial National Teacher" today? This official name ...... I don't think I've ever heard of it. Xiao Wan'er said curiously.

"Does the princess want to know?" Li Ran put down his chopsticks and said very seriously.

"Nonsense, I don't want to know, why do I ask you!" Xiao Wan'er pouted.

"Let's go, let's go to the Shinto prison. ”

......

......

"National teacher, in 835 years of Daxuan, the National Fangshi League measured for the second time, and counted a total of 5.83 million hectares of "Lingtian", 4 million stones of spiritual rice and 3.2 million .......stones of autumn grain in the summer tax."

The Shinto Supervisor Xuanxin took out a thick notebook and respectfully reported to the new national teacher and the fourth princess in front of him.

Beside him was a row of the Empire's most outstanding royal alchemists.

"Oh, what are these numbers, I'm sleepy to hear. Xiao Wan'er kicked her beautiful legs without any effort.

"These are the best quality tax grains paid to the treasury, the spiritual rice grown in the spiritual field, in a sense, this is what you eat every day, princess. ”

After Li Ran finished speaking lightly, he raised his eyebrows again and asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, three years ago, that is, the most recent traffic measurement, what is the number?"

The old man knew that this young national teacher was a knowledgeable person, so he didn't dare to slack off, and reported: "In the year 850 of Daxuan, after the third national Lingtian measurement, a total of 9.5 million hectares of folk and official Lingtian were counted, and 3 million stones of spiritual rice were handed over in the summer tax, and 2.8 million stones of autumn grain were paid. ”

"Hehe, you Shinto wardens are so bold. ”

Seventeen-year-old Li Guoshi took a leisurely sip of tea and said such a sentence lightly.

His words were fluttering, but everyone's faces changed in shock, and they knelt in a whole row.

The old man of Xuanxin was also pale and bowed his head silently.

Li Ran ...... What do you mean by this, Master Xuanxin is very good, those spiritual flowers and fairy grasses in our house have all relied on him to help take care of them all these years, you ...... Why are you so fierce? ”

Xiao Wan'er was puzzled, but she didn't lose her temper directly as usual, because she knew that the reason why the young man in front of her said this must have his reason!

"Princess, did you find any problems when you compared the two measurements? Li Ran asked with interest.

Hearing him ask, Xiao Wan'er also made a serious comparison: "Eh, why has the development of Lingtian doubled in more than ten years, but the harvest has decreased?" Could it be...... Someone is filling their pockets!"

Hearing the princess say this, the monks in the audience were even more inhibited, and their bodies trembled violently.

They are all family elites selected from the famous families of Fangshi all over the country, and they control the means of production and resource allocation of the country's spiritual fields and spiritual mines.

Li Ran still said with a smile: "Even the princess can see that some people are bold now and don't even bother to do the books." ”

The old Taoist face was even more ugly, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

At this time, one of the monks dressed in purple and with a very great appearance stepped forward and said awe-inspiringly: "Returning to the national teacher, in recent years, the four major states of Lingtian in the southeast have experienced severe droughts every year, plus locust plagues, so that the strength of the spiritual fields has decreased sharply......"

"Fart!"

Li Ran's face changed, "Brother, are you really a layman? In the Great Xuan Empire, there are nearly 50,000 registered orthodox monks, even if you can't cast rain prayer talismans, water diversion talismans, and wet soil techniques, right? Do you need a crash course organized by the national division to teach you royal alchemists?"

"As for the locusts, it's even more ridiculous, just set up a small array of steamers, let alone locusts, even ordinary people can't break in, why is this so?"

As soon as he said this, the audience became quieter, and even the sound of trembling teeth could be heard.

Xiao Wan'er was also indignant, and pouted: "Yes! What is going on, tell me quickly!"

After speaking, she looked sad, and went to pull Xuanxin's old arm again: "Master Xuanxin, you said, there must be something hidden, right? You must not be that kind of person!"

"Well, princess, don't embarrass them. ”

Li Ran shook his head, looked at a lifelike portrait of Danqing hanging in the main hall, and couldn't help but sigh.

The person on the portrait is about 20 years old, although he is not handsome, but he is extremely elegant and elegant, and his eyebrows are delicate, which makes people feel a little good at first sight.

"In the past ten years, the fundamental reason for the decline in the harvest year after year lies in "him", am I right?

Li Ran looked at the portrait for a long time and said.

Xiao Wan'er followed his gaze and also saw this portrait, and suddenly opened her mouth: "This ...... Isn't this my father?"

"Yes, he is Emperor Murong Jun, and he is also ...... The last imperial teacher of the Great Xuan Dynasty. ”
