My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 332 Court Meeting

"It's really magical. It feels like several years have passed, but only three days have passed outside." Three days later, Zhang Yuanrou reappeared in the palace and counted with her fingers. She was a little surprised. Is this the law of time?

"In my world, time is controlled by me, but the laws in the world are based on my understanding of the world. No matter how long you stay, all you will realize is my understanding of the world. If it takes too long, it will only reach the goal. I am at my current level, and I will never be able to surpass my current level. I have been preaching for three years, which is just enough. Any more will be harmful and useless to you. I hope it can inspire you." Lu Xuan looked at everyone and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!" Everyone bowed to Lu Xuan. They knew very well that no one else could ask for this opportunity. For three years in the small world, Lu Xuan explained how he walked and how everyone practiced. They are different, and the path they take is different from Lu Xuan, but just some understanding and concepts of heaven and earth are enough to benefit everyone a lot. This is a great kindness, and I dare not forget it.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Yan Danfeng saluted Lu Xuan: "Now our Ming Dynasty has been recuperating for decades, with abundant resources and people, and sufficient military equipment. According to the intelligence collected by Shenfengtang, civil strife in Dakang has already begun. I think, It’s time for Ming Dynasty to take another step forward.”

After decades of recuperation, the Ming Dynasty has now far surpassed other countries in terms of military, popular support, and resources. Not to mention the experts, the speed of information transmission among the people has also been extremely fast. The current Ming Dynasty North Korea has the ability to expand its territory to a larger area.

"This matter will be discussed with the ministers tomorrow!" Lu Xuan did not answer. External expansion is certain. The growth of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny has begun to slow down. As the emperor, Lu Xuan feels this very clearly. The population has experienced these decades. The population has increased dramatically, reaching 1.5 billion. At the peak of the Great Qian Dynasty, the population was only 180 million. After the war between the princes, there were only less than 90 million left.

In the past few decades, not only the productivity of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the population has also grown explosively. Now, it has reached an extreme value. The population has begun to stop growing. The people's demands are no longer just about food and clothing, but also begun to pay attention to food and clothing. Spiritual stuff.

This is a good thing and a bad thing. Although it is not the industrialization era in Lu Xuan's memory, but a path of cultivation and civilization, the improvement of productivity and the economic model from the small peasant economy to the popularization of the win-win cooperation model, Having more children no longer brings happiness, and when social competition begins to involute, it is inevitable that people's willingness to have children will decrease.

If you want to continue to expand the national destiny, it is necessary to engage in foreign wars and expand the land area.

But this is not only a question of whether the battle can be fought, but also whether the newly added territory can bring growth to the national destiny, whether the long-term expectations for the country can be achieved, and whether the short-term impact can be tolerated. All military generals are definitely willing to fight Yes, because it represents military merit. Regardless of winning or losing, they will definitely be able to share more luck.

But whether it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty must be looked at from the overall situation. In addition, Lu Xuan also needs to determine the issue of totems. Humanity is not just the human race, but the way of all living beings. To achieve the supreme humanity, the monster race must be included, but which race is determined by the national beast? ? How to integrate the totems of other demon clans into it is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.

"Yes!" Yan Danfeng said no more. In the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xuan, the founding emperor and the leader of the Guiyi Sect, had the authority to make decisions. No one could use any method to coerce or force him to do anything. The ministers could only I just put forward my own opinions and ideas.

Even this includes the Supreme Being of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, I have also left." Yang Ao and others also stood up and said. They benefited a lot from Lu Xuan's sermon this time and they need to digest it.

"Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. I suddenly have some ideas about the miniature formation you mentioned, and I have to try it quickly!" Zhang Yuanrou said hello to Lu Xuan and left.

Lu Xuan thought about two possibilities. The first is that these first-level people have died long ago. After all, even the first-level lifespan has a limit. The first-level life span is guaranteed to be ten thousand years, but these human beings are still alive, even in the past four thousand years. If it appears once, it means they have a way to extend life.

No matter which one, Lu Xuan had to calculate these possible variables.

Bao'er and Little Gray Pi looked hopeless. They stayed in Xiaotiandi for three years and only had three days outside. It might be a good thing for others, but for them, without food, it was hell.

As for whether to ascend... In the world before the opening of the sky, it is impossible to ascend to immortality if the three paths are not complete. In other words, in addition to the supreme position, the first level is the limit that a small galaxy can reach. The perfection of the three paths can raise the upper limit of the small world.

Little Gray Pi quietly stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and vaguely took out his hammer and waved it: "It seems a bit, but it seems not~"

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded, and after watching everyone leave, he looked at Bao'er and Xiao Huipi: "Gu Hui, you won't gain anything at all, right?"

As for the second possibility, these first-grade ones are unable to take action for some reason. They may be bound or sealed.

The destruction of Jiuzhou Taoism and Wuhan Taoism failed to bring out those first-class people. This surprised Lu Xuan. His own Taoism was destroyed, how could he still remain silent?

Not to mention that in addition to these overall matters, there is also the Dao Sect behind the Dao Alliance, the Supreme Heavenly Dao.

According to Dan Chenzi, the Mahayana realm is normally at the ninth level, and reaching the ninth level is the limit. However, if the three levels are perfected, there will be three more levels. This is the compensation of the small world to the monks. For each level, the life span will be increased by a thousand years. Once it is opened, Heaven, the ninth level of the Mahayana will directly become a flying immortal, the tenth level of the Mahayana will become a mysterious immortal, the eleventh level of the Mahayana will become a true immortal, the twelfth level of the Mahayana will become a heavenly immortal, and the three supreme beings will receive great blessings and reach the golden immortal. This It is the blessing of the opening of the small galaxy. You must know that even if it is difficult to break through the tenth level of the Mahayana ninth level, the time required is far shorter than that of advancing from Feixianxian to Xuanxian under normal circumstances.

At that moment, the entire palace trembled inexplicably. You must know that there are many stable formations in the palace, and the sky is under the rules of luck. Even high-level monks will find it difficult to show their strength here. .

Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes. He didn't remember the law of force among his laws of heaven and earth. At the moment when Xiao Huipi swung the hammer, what he felt was that the rules of Tiandu had fluctuated. The way Xiao Huipi understood It seems that she is different from normal people. She did not listen to her own Tao at all, but her understanding of her own Tao has improved.

"Not bad." Lu Xuan didn't know how to evaluate it. Call her stupid. She understood her own rules and could use them. Call her strong. She didn't absorb anything Lu Xuan taught her. The smartest woman in Shenxiangdong... to a certain extent, this really holds true.

He looked at Bao'er aside and met Bao'er's clear eyes: "Forget it, let's go play."

Even now, even when he brought Bao'er into his own world, he still couldn't detect Bao'er's limits. In his own world, he could not feel Bao'er's existence. A corpse was reborn and gave birth to spiritual wisdom. After eating and sleeping every day, the soul is growing at a speed that is hard to catch. This is a bit unreasonable.

But thinking about her identity, Lu Xuan could only sigh with emotion about the background of the Great Emperor of Gu Kun Dynasty.

This is good. If she inherited the soul and memory of her predecessor, Lu Xuan would not know what to do with her.

"Okay~" The two people who had been locked up in Xiaotiandi for three years immediately ran away happily.

Lu Xuan returned to the Yangxin Hall and took out the reincarnation seal.

After completing the second level of the Scripture, I can create another clone, and the materials for the clone are ready. However, this clone's mission is somewhat special, and it cannot contaminate my luck. I don't know if it can be broken if it is born through the normal process. The connection with one’s own luck.

It is best not to be born in the Ming Dynasty, as it is easy to contaminate luck.

But where is better?

Early the next morning, Lu Xuan came to the court to discuss matters. He was very positive about the Ming Dynasty's proposal to expand outward. The Ming Dynasty had been at peace for decades, and the national destiny had been improved to the extreme. If he wanted to improve further, he could only develop externally.

However, the civil servants held conservative views on this aspect, because the expansion of the territory represented the need for innovation in governance. After all, it was not just about conquering the territory, but also allowing the local people to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty. This was based on culture, social structure, and ideology. The fragmentation and reorganization of the government must be done by civil servants, as well as whether the people in the country support this war.

"Your Majesty, I think we can send troops, but we need the troops to be famous!" The Minister of War came out and saluted Lu Xuan.

Why is a teacher famous? Let the people on the other side know that it is right and reasonable for us to fight you. Let the people under your control know that this is a just war. We send troops to save the people from disaster and to make our people live a better life.

Although it sounds a bit unreasonable, this name must be taken, especially now that more and more people are receiving education in the Ming Dynasty.

"Gu Aiqing, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. What do you suggest, Aiqing?" Lu Xuan looked at the Minister of Rites standing beside His Highness and said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty!" The Minister of Rites came out and bowed: "I think that I can guide public opinion. In recent years, Dakang has been in civil strife. Many bandits have entered our Ming Dynasty from the border trails and committed mischief. Although they were exterminated, they have not affected the border areas. The people caused a lot of losses and casualties, which can be made into images through the water mirror and flowed into the people, stimulating the people's dissatisfaction with Kang State;

Secondly, Kang is in civil strife and the people are worried. Our country, Ming, is adjacent to Kang. Many people in Kang are yearning for our country, and many people in Kang are migrating to the border of Ming. You can send people to the border for more Kind deeds, and stated that our Ming Dynasty only rescues refugees out of benevolence and righteousness, and does not interfere in the internal affairs of Dakang. However, the personnel sent by our Ming Dynasty to rescue the people must not make things difficult for no reason. This can not only win the hearts of the people of Dakang, but also promote the image of our Ming Dynasty. Once the rebellion of Kang State attacks us, The inbound rescue personnel not only gave our army a reason to send troops, but the people of Kang State will also support our Ming Dynasty! "

"This is a trail." Lu Xuan frowned, not satisfied with either of these two strategies.

"Third, show weakness." The Minister of Rites bowed and said: "For the sake of the overall situation, we can tolerate unlimited tolerance and let Dakang give birth to the illusion that our Ming Dynasty is rich and the army is weak..."

At this point, the Minister of Rites did not go on, and there is no need to say the rest. Nowadays, there is endless civil strife in Dakang, and the intelligence system has collapsed. And the Ming Dynasty has deliberately hidden its military power in these years, and has shown it to other countries. The Ming Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, but it had not used foreign troops for decades, so it could easily be regarded as a soft persimmon.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Lu Xuan smiled and looked at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I think that Shenfengtang can appropriately provoke conflicts between the army and the people of Kang State."

"Your Majesty, I think the system of Kang State is corrupt and could be given some guidance in this regard."
