Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 148 Hunyuan Pill, Invented by the Little Celestial Master! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Speaking of it.

Zhao Lingying's eyes were full of excitement.

Before that, she had been dealing with the memorial.

I know that because of the two major projects of the household department, the money is like flowing water, and the money is constantly being spent.

You know, this is still in the preparatory stage, and it has not officially started, so the finance of the Ministry of Households has been under such pressure.

What kind of situation will be in the future, even Zhao Lingying dare not think about it.

After all, according to His Majesty.

After the start of the two projects, wages will be paid for the conscripted medicine.

This is also a huge expense, plus other expenses of the court, the money that needs to be spent is almost a huge amount.

When Zhao Lingying was reading the brochures recently, she didn't know how long the household department could last.

I am very worried that one day, the household department will be completely unable to make ends meet.

But right now.

The gentry from the south of the Yangtze River came to oppose the imperial court and oppose the sharing of households into their mu.

Song Gongwen also seized this opportunity and put all those people in prison.

And also found evidence that these people colluded with the Baiyimen.

Then follow His Majesty's wishes.

Confiscate the family property of the gentry.

For the household department and the imperial court, a wave of blood was paid for.

It can be said that these several million taels of silver have solved the urgent need of the household department.

Therefore, she will be so happy and relieved at this time.

In particular, Zhao Lingying is very clear that those silver coins are only part of the family property of the Jiangnan gentry, and there will be more in the future.

It should be noted that these gentry families are all big families in the south of the Yangtze River. In a rich place like the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to confiscate the family property with only a few million taels of silver.

It can be said that the court will not have to worry about money for the next half a year.

More importantly, she also thought, not long in the future.

When the full implementation of the stalls into the mu is completed.

That day, the gentry in the world wanted to pay taxes to the court, which was another large sum of money.

Putting the two together, it can be regarded as a great thing.

But, when Wei Yunyi next to him heard this.

The smile on his face froze immediately.

His hands trembled slightly, and he didn't quite understand Zhao Lingying's words.

The two major projects I started cost the country power and cost an unknown amount of money. It is expected that even the current Great Wei will not last long. It stands to reason that the treasury should be bottomed out.

But now, the father-in-law actually submitted a booklet, saying that the household department has new income, which is still several million taels of silver.

Immediately, Wei Yunyi swallowed, and couldn't help but said, "What's going on here?"

"The memorial, show me!"

next to.

Zhao Lingying didn't find it strange either, she felt that His Majesty must be very happy.

So he turned around directly, took out a memorial from the table, and said with a smile: "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Wei Yunyi, without any hesitation, took the memorial and examined it carefully.

The above content is also very simple.

The household department had no money at first.

The follow-up expenditures of the two major projects are somewhat unsustainable.

After all, whether it is opening a canal or Wei Zhidao, the money needed to carry out any project is astonishing.

But after that, the old man directly searched the family properties of those Jiangnan gentry, saying that he was ordered by himself not to kill these people, and the inspection of the family property was to teach the gentry a big lesson.

As for the effect, it is also very gratifying. The initial estimate is several million taels of silver.

Not only can the two projects be continued, but a few other things can also be done.

Let yourself stop worrying about the country's finances.

As long as the money from the Jiangnan gentry arrives in the account one after another.

Then there will be no problem.

Wei Yunyi didn't expect it at all.

The old father-in-law actually interpreted teaching the gentry a lesson as directly confiscating the family property of the gentry.

Originally, he thought that if he didn't kill them, he would just lock up those gentry for a period of time.

Now, the confiscation of the family property has increased the income of the court by several million taels of silver for no reason.

This made Wei Yunyi feel helpless.

Notice.

Relying on the two projects of the canal and the straight road, he can continuously consume the financial resources of the Great Wei, resulting in the continuous decline of national power.

In this way, although the plan has not failed, it can be regarded as an obstacle.

What is going on in the old man's mind?

Last time in Longyang, he gave himself a backstab.

Then the brother-in-law came again.

In the end, the other party confiscated the property of the Jiangnan gentry
Wei Yunyi suddenly felt that he had worked too hard as a fool.

I thought that my father-in-law was mediocre, but who knew that he was backstabbed twice in a row.

Not only did it solve the pilot reform in Longyang Mansion, but even the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River went to Beijing, and they were able to settle it.

This old man looked so mediocre before, could it be all a disguise?

But not possible.

How could a person be able to pretend for more than ten years?

Is that how you can bear it?

Therefore, Wei Yunyi didn't believe that the old man was a fake.

Therefore, there is only one explanation.It was the memorial that I asked Concubine Ying to approve, without clearly expressing the meaning, which allowed the other party to have more room for imagination, and developed to seize the family property of the gentry.

Yes, there is only this possibility.

otherwise.

There is no way to explain it.

At this moment, Wei Yunyi thought clearly.

When making a decision in the future, you must express your meaning clearly.

For example, how to teach the gentry a lesson this time, just reply directly in the memorial, or directly issue an imperial edict.

It's just a matter of letting the courtiers below think wildly. If not, every courtier is constantly guessing what he means, so it's not a mess.

After all, he is the emperor, and it is normal for his courtiers to think a lot.

Only on the bright side, direct orders are enough.

Ah!
Will do it from now on!

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, Zhao Lingying, who was standing next to him, saw that His Majesty had been silent all this time, so she couldn't help but asked, "Is there something wrong with this memorial?"

She felt that not killing the gentry, but teaching a lesson, confiscating family property is the most effective way, which can bring a lot of benefits to the country, and can also use this opportunity to deter those officials who are interested in the gentry.

Why don't you look very happy to see His Majesty now?

"no problem."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi hesitated for a moment, but said so anyway.

Although the inspection of the gentry's family property this time was completely unexpected by him before.

But think about it, with this money, you can vigorously support the two projects of the canal and the straight road.

This is a project that will benefit generations to come, so don't be careless.And after having enough money, Song Yingxing can improve the quality.

And he also knows that even if he has money, these two projects are still big projects and can only be built by manpower.

So it will definitely take a lot of time, and it can still continue to consume national power.

Again.

If I will check the money collected by the gentry.

All of them are invested in the two projects, and if they are not used for other purposes, the goal of reducing luck can also be achieved.

After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.

Therefore, he still felt that it was not a big problem.

After a little thought, Wei Yunyi cleared his throat, and said, "Tell Song Gongwen that all the money obtained from the confiscation should be invested in the two projects of the canal and the straight road, and cannot be used for other purposes."

Today's household department is close to emptiness. With money, I can do other things.

For example, the dredging of water transportation, such as the distribution of official salaries.

But if you stipulate.

The silver can only be used for one purpose?

As for other expenditures, the household department still needs to figure out its own way.

But now, last year's tax has been raised, how can the Ministry of Households have other channels to get money?
Once there is a problem with the water transportation, or the salary of the officials is lacking, wouldn't it also be able to shake the court and affect the national strength of the Great Wei?
Sure enough, when Zhao Lingying heard this, a confused look appeared in her eyes.

So much money, all used in one place?

What about other places where money is needed?
Why did His Majesty do this?

She was puzzled.

But I still firmly believe in my heart that there is a reason for His Majesty to do this.

But in a short period of time, he couldn't figure it out, and finally he could only say: "Yes, this concubine knows what to do."

Of course, after this lesson, Wei Yunyi felt that he must be clear about what he said, and immediately continued: "Well, remember, the money can only be used for those two projects, for Song Gongwen. , must be written clearly."

There is no way, what if the old man thinks too much?
As for Zhao Lingying.

It is more certain in my heart.

His Majesty repeats this matter twice, there must be other reasons.

But on the surface, she still nodded and didn't say much.

And Wei Yunyi was also satisfied, and then glanced at the sky outside, it was still some time before dark.

After thinking about it, I feel that now is not the time to learn martial arts, let's talk about it in the evening.

Therefore, after he finished processing Song Gongwen's excerpts.

I chose to go to Danfang.

At the same time, tell Zhao Lingying to come back at night.

On the way to Danfang, Wei Yunyi was still thinking about a problem.

That is, in a few days, the imperial meeting will be held, and the imperial court may not attend, but this matter must be paid close attention to.

Because in his heart, he also thought of a few ways to curb his luck, which could be announced at the imperial meeting.

The two major projects are the main force for him to achieve the luck of the Great Wei.

But other than that.

Any means that can contain luck must not be let go.

Otherwise, God knows if there will be any accidents in the future.

That is when Wei Yunyi was thinking about this.

Dan Fang has arrived.

A wave of heat hit inside.

You can clearly feel it even before you walk in.

Although Wei Yunyi is not proficient in alchemy, but because he has refined the elixir several times, he knows very clearly that this is a sign that the elixir is about to be successfully refined.

He had read in "Dan Jie" before that Hunyuan Dan was very difficult to refine, and the yield rate of Dan was not high.

Great Returning Pill, at its best, seven or eight pills can be produced at one time.

You can mix Yuan Dan, up to three pieces.

And it is also easy to have problems in the process of refining.

But looking at it now, the little celestial master's alchemy attainments are stronger than he imagined.

There were no accidents on the way.

If you can refine three Hunyuan Pills.

Maybe it can help my martial arts cultivation, and take a step closer.

Immediately, Wei Yunyi walked directly into the alchemy room without hesitation.

As soon as he opened the door, he found the little celestial master sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.

And the other party obviously noticed his arrival.

He quickly stood up, then bowed and said, "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Exemption." Wei Yunyi smiled, glanced at the alchemy furnace that was refining the elixir, and said with a smile on his face: "The little celestial master is really powerful, I'm afraid it won't be a few days, this Hunyuan elixir, Is it about to be successfully refined?"

"With His Majesty's blessing, the process of refining Hunyuan went very smoothly this time, and three pills should be produced."

The little celestial master also smiled, feeling very comfortable.

Although it is the first time to refine Hunyuan Pill.

But because there has been deep research in this area before.

In addition, being in the palace, the conditions in all aspects can be the best.

Therefore, during the refining process, no accidents occurred, and it went smoothly beyond expectations.

"Oh? Three Hunyuan Pills?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi was also a little surprised.

In his mind, it is already very good to be able to produce one, but now there are three, and judging by the appearance of the other party, it seems that the quality is very good.

Sure enough, it was a very wise decision to invite the little celestial master to enter the palace to practice alchemy.

If you come by yourself, don't say how many medicinal materials will be wasted.

I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it for a month or two.

But in the other party's hands, it only takes ten days.

Not bad.

Pretty good!

Immediately, Wei Yunyi looked at the little celestial master, feeling more and more satisfied in his heart, and said directly: "Okay, after the refining of the Hunyuan pill is successful, I will designate you, the little celestial master, as the Great Wei Guoshi, and at the same time send someone to repair it." Longhu Mountain, I hope the incense will flourish!"

He had already considered making the little celestial master a national teacher.

It's just hesitant to know how the other party's alchemy ability is.

So I never spoke.

Today, the opponent has proven his ability.

The rewards that should be given cannot be given.

Say.

How can a foolish king not have a good national teacher?

As for the idea of ​​repairing Longhu Mountain, Wei Yunyi had already thought about it.

The emperor respected Taoism and liked alchemy.If it gets out, many people will think that the emperor's obsession with alchemy and longevity will affect his reputation.

Although this won't do much, it will cost money to repair Longhu Mountain.The problem now is that it is difficult for the Ministry of Households to get the money out.

There is such an expense, for the father-in-law, it is definitely worse.

At this point in his thoughts, even Wei Yunyi couldn't help but marvel at his own cleverness.

At the same time, the little Celestial Master Arowana on the opposite side.

After hearing Wei Yunyi's words, his eyes lit up immediately.

She doesn't really care about the national teacher or something, but letting the court repair Longhu Mountain is a great achievement for Taoists.

Arowana could totally predict that Master would be happy when he heard the news.

It can also be regarded as some benefits I got from refining alchemy for the emperor.

Therefore, without any hesitation, she immediately said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Wei Yunyi nodded, and after chatting with the other party for a while, he went to the queen to have dinner, and then went to Jingde Palace.Just when he was about to speak, the tip of his nose suddenly smelled a pungent smell.

In fact, he noticed this smell from the very beginning, thinking it was the reason of alchemy.

It's just that as time goes by, the taste becomes more intense.

At this moment, Wei Yunyi was looking for this pungent smell.

His gaze was fixed on another small alchemy stove.

He knew that this was brought by the little celestial master himself, and he seemed to be making alchemy too.
At this time, Longyu also noticed this scene, and immediately said: "Your Majesty? Are you also interested in the alchemy invention of Caomin?"
