Chapter 121: Brothers, Friends, and Brothers (1)
Lou Cen Zhi knew that with the implementation of the drip irrigation method in the world, he would inevitably become famous in the cultivation world as an inventor, and all sects and factions owed him a great favor, which had immeasurable merit for his own practice in the future, but no one knew, in fact, this merit belonged to a wild boy named Guo Dalu in the mortal world--
An idea suddenly popped up in Lou Cenzhi's mind, then Guo Dalu of Houlong Village could come up with such a wonderful method as drip irrigation, which freed hundreds of millions of farmers in the Great Li Dynasty from the pain of planting kudzu grass for thousands of years, so would he have any way to help Senior Sister Lin solve the burden of planting red refining fruits?
Lou Cen Zhi quickly shook his head, he was really sick and sick, this red practice fruit is very different from kudzu grass, kudzu grass is a low-level fairy grass, as long as the amount of watering is controlled, it can grow, but planting red practice fruit has to change the surrounding environment and forcibly increase the heat, it can be said that it is against the sky, how can a mortal do it?
Legend has it that Emperor Gaozong's concubine, in order to be able to enjoy flowers in winter, once ordered a florist to move all kinds of flower branches into the room, and roasted them with a brazier every day. Mortal power can only go so far.
Lou Cen Zhi was worried about Lin Yuanchen's junior sister, far away in the Forbidden City in the capital, in the study of the current saint, suddenly there was a flash of brilliance, and a spirit talisman appeared on the desk.
The old emperor, who was reviewing the chapters, was stunned, and hurriedly said to the personal eunuch who was waiting next to him: "You blind slaves, don't you see that the immortals have a spirit talisman to descend to earth, hurry up and welcome!"
How to welcome the spirit talisman of the immortals, there has been a set of rules in the palace for more than 2,000 years, and the eunuchs hurriedly arranged for the old emperor to purify himself and burn incense, and then presented the jade talisman held in the jade plate.
The old emperor picked up the jade talisman, and a fairy sound immediately flashed in his mind, that is, the decree passed down by the immortal family, and he was the emperor of the four seas and respectfully obeyed the decree of the immortal family, otherwise, as long as the cultivator moved his fingers, his throne would definitely not be guaranteed.
The old emperor listened to the decree of the law, was silent for a moment, and actually showed a rare smile on his face, and said to himself: "The immortals of Tianyi Pavilion have actually come up with the wonderful method of drip irrigation, this law is popular all over the world, and it will definitely benefit all people." The widow thanked the immortals. ”
He waved his hand: "Come on, quickly pass on the prince, and ask him to inform the world that from now on, wherever the kudzu grass is planted, the drip irrigation method must be practiced." Well, Tianyi Pavilion Shangxian mentioned that he had tried this method in Houlong Village, and he was sending a commendation to Houlong Village, rewarding a thousand taels of silver, and ordering the household department to select capable officials and go to Houlong Village to learn the drip irrigation method. ”
Under the whole world, all are the king's land, within the four seas, all are the king's ministers, the emperor Lao'er is respectful and respectful in front of the immortal decree, but he gave an order, since the prince of the prison country and the prime minister of the six ministries, it has been a busy mess.
The Great Li Dynasty did not have a computer fax, and the official family could spread a holy decree all over the world in the deep palace, and it was always necessary to follow the steps of the prime minister, the household department, the state capitals, roads, and even the county seats, and the first-level written notices, and the officials had to be arranged to go to Houlong Village to learn what drip irrigation method was. The comings and goings, eating, drinking, and lodging of people across the country always cost a sum of silver, and it was a busy mess up and down.
But the emperor's mood is very good, the prince of the prison sent up and drip irrigation related to the recital are all approved, he has recently been worried about the matter of Zen, the contradiction between the prince and the second prince he is not unaware, the day of Zen, is the day of the two sons to meet each other.
It's just that although he is nominally the lord of the world, where can he really be his own master, as long as those high gods and immortals come down with a decree, he has to respectfully receive the order, this Zen act is the decree of several Da Luo Jin Immortals.
The old emperor thought that he had been in power for more than ten years, and he was conscientious and benevolent to the people, but according to the unwritten rules set by the Taizu and the immortals, the emperor should not reign for more than twenty-five years, and in twenty-five years, regardless of whether he was healthy or not, he must be Zen.
In this regard, the reason of the gods is that the emperor has worked hard for twenty-five years, his teeth are old and his teeth are weak, and his energy is not good, so it is time to take care of his life, and the state affairs will be conceded to the new emperor.
Hmph, as long as the gods give a pill of elixir, even the dying old can become fierce again, what is the matter with the political affairs?
In the final analysis, it's just that the gods in the sky are not worried about the power held by the royal family, and it seems that if an emperor reigns for a long time, wins the hearts of the people, and has a deep foundation, it will be difficult to be controlled by the gods.
That's why there is a forced palace - no, Zen concession.
The old emperor was reluctant to take the throne, not because he was in love with power, but he couldn't bear to see his two sons fighting, alas, these two stupid sons, haven't they seen that the suspicion between the two brothers is also the result of the gods secretly provoking?
The crown prince and the second prince compete, and whoever wins, will cause turmoil in the world and the people suffer.
Today, the immortal of Tianyi Pavilion came to the method of drip irrigation, but let the old emperor be a little happy, the drip irrigation method is popular all over the world, which will greatly ease the labor of farmers and support the people, which is really a great thing.
The old emperor's heart suddenly moved, Houlong Village, the name of this village seems to be somewhat familiar, he called the eunuchs, searched for a while in the past official documents, and went to the secret compromises reported by the secret guards in various places to check, and really found a lot of news related to Houlong Village.
The old emperor looked at a table of concertos and dense folds related to Houlong Village, and chuckled: "Interesting, a little interesting, this small Houlong Village actually tossed so many tricks - the method of accumulating fertilizer, punctuation, snow sugar, and even the bright moon mirror offered by my third son is also related to this small village." No wonder the immortals of Tianyi Pavilion will also try the drip irrigation method in this village, it seems that there are sage relics in this small Houlong Village. ”.
At this moment, a dragon chant suddenly came from outside the palace, and a golden armor god will suddenly appear in the air of the main hall, and proclaim the decree: "The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Infinite Immortal Venerable has a decree, in order to implement the drip irrigation method, the ban on mountains and rivers will be lifted today." ”
The emperor in the study, with the support of the eunuchs, fell to the ground and bowed, and waited until the god general who passed the decree in the air disappeared before he got up, and ordered the palace people to put incense on the table, put flowers on it, and send the god general.
The cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands sent the gods to pass on the decree of the Fa together, and naturally it was the Tianyi Pavilion Lord's thousand-mile transmission that played a role, and the cultivators would also settle accounts, open the mountain ban, and give up a little profit in exchange for more Kudzu Herb Pill, which was also a cost-effective thing, so they unanimously agreed to the suggestion of the Tianyi Pavilion Lord.
Some people are high-fived and rejoicing at the improvement of the people's lives, and some people are calculating to see how much benefit they can get from it - the cultivators have countless famous mountains and rivers in the world, and the ban is open for the people to use, and some of them are all kinds of doorways to make a fortune, which must not be missed!
Of course, the lifting of the ban on mountains and rivers does not mean that the people can go up the mountains at will to cut down indiscriminately, and the government will inevitably need to strictly manage them, or those ordinary people will be shallow-eyed, and for the sake of small profits, they will damage the mountains, forests and lakes, and make the cultivators unhappy, which will cause great disasters, and the yamen in various places will have to send more people to strictly control them.
A fast horse rode out of the capital, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent report delivered an official letter to the ends of the earth of the Great Li Dynasty.
In a grange outside the capital, chickens and dogs smell each other, the shepherd boy blows the willow flute, passing by leisurely from the ridge, a few old cows chew the grass upside down, make a roaring sound, and the late returning Yuan girl laughs and passes.
In this idyllic scene, in a very elegant bamboo house made of green bamboo, a young man is lying on the bed, listening to the little tune humming by the peasant girl outside, with a faint smile on his face.
Suddenly, the bamboo door creaked open, and an older man walked in slowly with a bowl of medicine: "Second brother, it's time to take medicine." ”
The young man who was called the second brother wanted to stand up, but his arm was weak, and he lay down again, the older man walked a few steps quickly, put down the medicine bowl, and helped the young man up: "Second brother, your body is too weak, you should lie down, I will feed you medicine." ”
The young man grinned: "Big brother, you are the crown prince, acting as your father and supervising state affairs, taking care of every day, taking care of such a trivial matter as your younger brother, just let your slaves do it." ”
The older man said: "There is no prince here, I am your elder brother, taking care of my younger brother is exactly what my brother should do." Speaking of which, you are injured for the sake of the country, speaking of which, I am sorry for you, I did not take care of the logistics, let you suffer in the front, take care of you, just like my brother to make amends to you. ”
It turned out that this pair of two people who were staging a scene of brothers, friends and brothers were actually the crown prince of the Great Li Dynasty and the second prince who was once known as the general king!
It is rumored that the crown prince was jealous of the merits of the second prince and deliberately cut off the logistics of the army led by the second prince, resulting in the defeat of the war between the Great Li Dynasty and the southern kingdom, and the second prince was also seriously injured and was placed under house arrest in the palace.
But the scene in front of him is the scene where the prince takes care of his younger brother carefully, and the second prince is deeply moved.
The prince personally held the medicine bowl and fed it to the second prince one by one, until there was not a drop of medicine left in the bowl, and then he nodded with satisfaction. took a small bowl next to the bed: "Second brother, this is the new snow sugar, it is extremely sweet, you eat a little, suppress the bitter taste of the medicine." ”
The second prince scooped a spoonful of snow sugar into his mouth with a silver spoon, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "This snow sugar is actually not much sweeter than brown sugar, but it looks good, and it is several times more expensive than brown sugar." ”
The crown prince watched the second prince swallow the snow candy, and confirmed that all the medicine was in his stomach, and he couldn't spit it out even if he vomited, so he nodded with satisfaction.
The prince chuckled and said, "Second brother, something happened in the court today, you must like it when you hear it." Today, my father received the Tianyi Pavilion Immortal Pavilion, and then a god will descend from the sky and decree the immeasurable immortal venerable of the nine heavens and ten earths--"
