The king behind the empress

Chapter 54
Mo Zizai has an accelerator in his hands, and he is confident that he will cultivate an invincible army in the future. Coupled with the growing Yuzhisi intelligence agency, even in the Little Ice Age, Mo Zizai thinks that he should have no problem keeping Dazhou's foundation.

But what he has to do is not only to keep Da Zhou, but also the people of Da Zhou.

In his previous life, because of his writing, he had roughly checked the materials of the Little Ice Age. What impressed him the most was that the population dropped sharply by 80.00% in the first three Little Ice Ages, and the fourth occurred at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The situation was relatively good Some, but also lost 50.00% of the population.

The current population of Dazhou is about 4000 million. Even with an optimistic estimate, Mo Zizai can suppress the war and minimize the loss of disasters. However, due to the sharp reduction in food production, Dazhou will still lose more than 20.00% of its population.

20.00% means that 800 million people will die. This number is already larger than the total population of many small countries that Mo Zizai knew in his previous life.

"Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world."

Mo Zizai breathed a sigh of relief. As the half-emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was already the highest-ranking person. There was no reason why he could watch the 800 million subjects under his rule freeze to death and starve to death.

"Sure enough, being an emperor is not a good job."

I thought I could be a free prince, but the worst thing I could do was to be a cruel official who did whatever I wanted. I never expected to help the country deal with disasters.

It seems that his father really had the foresight to name him Mo Zizai, and he really did not make a mistake. Before the Little Ice Age is settled, he will not be able to think about Zizai.

Mo Zizai found a stool and sat down, and began to recall in his mind the materials he had read about Little Binghe in his previous life.

The Little Ice Age brought not only severe cold, but also seven other common natural disasters, such as earthquakes, droughts, and locust plagues. Therefore, the first thing Mo Zizai has to do is to find ways to deal with these natural disasters.

The second is to stockpile grain. Before the worst cold disaster arrives, stock up as much grain as possible, the more the better.

In the end, this disaster will definitely not only be aimed at one country in Dazhou, and disasters will definitely occur in other countries. It doesn't matter if it is just the three countries of Wei, Lu, and Zheng. If a disaster occurs, they will definitely fall into civil strife.

But the problem is that there is still a barbarian in the north. They are serious nomads. They have always been used to robbing them when they have nothing to eat, so the possibility of war with them is very high.

In addition to these, there are also foreign races in the western region, but Da Zhou piles up troops there every year to strengthen the defense, so there is no need to worry about that side.

After deciding on the idea, Mo Zizai quickly had a rough plan in his mind, but he had to discuss the details with his wife. In terms of the overall situation, Tang Weiyi, as the empress, was much better than him.

As soon as Mo Zizai opened his eyes, he saw the supervisor of Qin Tianjian standing in front of him in a dazed state, as if he had aged a lot.

"Jianzheng, what's wrong with you?"

"My lord, is the catastrophe really coming?"

As the person who understands astronomy best in this era except Mo Zizai, Ni Zushou knows what this catastrophe means better than anyone else, so he is in a panic right now.

"You don't have to worry too much about the supervisor. You can observe the weather with peace of mind. If you can predict when the coldest season will come, it will be a great achievement."

Mo Zizai said soothingly, "As for this catastrophe, His Majesty and I will deal with it."

After instructing the supervisor not to disclose the matter, Mo Zizai led Zhou Qi away from Qin Tianjian and went straight to Shangyang Palace.

In Shangyang Palace, Tang Weiyi hadn't come back from get off work yet. Although the court meeting was over, Tang Weiyi still needed to discuss with the cabinet to finalize all the details, so Mei Shuying was the only one in Shangyang Palace at this time.

"I have seen the king."

When Mei Shuying saw Mo Zizai now, although her attitude was a little better, she was still very cold, making Mo Zizai a little confused.

I have never seen her before, let alone offended her, so why is she so prejudiced against me.

However, although Mei Shuying has a cold attitude, her etiquette is impeccable, so she is not comfortable and has no temper. In the past three years, Mei Shuying has been taking care of Tang Weiyi's daily life. All right, let's trouble her.

"Excuse me, take me to Shangyang Palace."

"Yes, my lord."

Mei Shuying, who was dressed in palace attire, was tall and tall. When she stood up completely, she was only a little lower than Mo Zizai. According to Mo Zizai's visual inspection, the minimum height of this woman was about 175.

The most important thing is because of her height advantage. Mei Shuying's legs are slender and slender, and her figure is quite well-proportioned. In her previous life, if Mo Zizai had sister Tang Weiyi now, he guaranteed that he would be able to play with these legs for a lifetime.

However, although Mo Zizai is not very specific in terms of feelings, he is not a scumbag. Now that he has sister Tang Weiyi, he doesn't have much thought about Mei Shuying, he just observes it with an attitude of appreciation.

After all, everyone has the desire to love beauty, but if you see one and ask for one, you'd be a bit of a jerk.

After arriving at Shangyang Palace, Mei Shuying personally opened the palace gate for Mo Zizai, and then said: "My lord, the things you asked Chen Ying to send over earlier have also been put inside according to your instructions."

"okay."

Mo Zizai nodded and said, "Take everyone away, I will stay here by myself for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

Because of the order of the empress, Mo Zizai's status in the palace was almost equal to that of the empress, so Mei Shuying did not hesitate at all, and immediately withdrew all the maids.

Originally, she was accompanying the empress in the cabinet, but this time she came out to get meals for the empress in the dining room, and she came to get something by the way, if she hadn't just met Mo Zizai, she would have brought the meal to the cabinet just now.

After they all went out, Mo Zizai went directly to the things Chen Ying sent.

There were more than a dozen large boxes, all of which were filled with gold.

When Mo Zizai asked Chen Ying to ransack the house before, he secretly told him that if there was too much money, he would let him steal some of it.

After all, his accelerator needs to be upgraded. If the money goes into the national treasury, it will be difficult to withdraw it.

[The current VIP level is 2, do you want to upgrade the VIP level? 】

"promote!"

"promote!"

Mo Zizai has been upgraded twice in a row, the VIP level has suddenly changed from level 2 to level 4, and the speed of the accelerator has also been increased from five times to twenty times.

The price was that the gold in more than a dozen boxes was almost completely emptied immediately, and only the gold in the last two boxes was not taken away by the accelerator.

The gold that Chen Yingmo brought down is worth 300 million taels of silver in total. Now Mo Zizai spent 250 million taels to upgrade the accelerator, and he plans to hand over the remaining 50 taels to Zhou Qi, who will use the money to strengthen Yu Zhisi's intelligence force.

No matter in what era, intelligence is the most important thing. As long as the intelligence work is in place, no matter what Mo Zizai wants to do, it will be much easier.

PS: I am planning to fix the update time. If there is no accident, it will be updated at [-] pm in the future.
