The emperor's Qi refining technique is based on the national fortune. The stronger the national fortune, the more the emperor's Qi refining technique can make endless breakthroughs.

Strictly speaking, there is no "upper limit" for the Emperor's Qi Refining Technique.

Of course, the so-called "upper limit" represents the consumption of national destiny like mountains and seas.

According to Li Si's estimate, if the emperor wants to break through the third level of Qi refining technique, at least the Tang Empire needs to unify the Asia, Europe and Africa continents.

As for the fourth level

Li Si never thought that with the national destiny of his current world, he could meet the consumption of the emperor's Qi Refining Technique to enter the fourth level.

If the emperor wants to continue to make breakthroughs in Qi Refining Technique, Li Si can only attack the heavens and all realms.

However, the national fortune required by the emperor's Qi Refining Technique is just a general term.

The source of national destiny is not to conquer territory

For example, on the treasure of the former dynasty restored country presented by Yuan Zai, there is a jade seal of the former dynasty.

The national fortune left in the jade seal can also be absorbed by Li Si.

The jade seal is a thing of the previous dynasty. Logically speaking, with the collapse of the previous dynasty, it should have been useless long ago.

But it truly provided Li Si with a lot of national destiny.

It is precisely because of these national destinies that Li Si's emperor's Qi refining technique can make breakthroughs ahead of time

Therefore, Li Si inferred that the scope of national destiny is not just the size of territory.

It is more likely to come from an item, such as the jade seal of the previous dynasty.

Even, it may come from some ‘people’.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed across Li Si's face.

If a person has a lot of national destiny, what is the situation shown?

Lucky blessing?

Prosperous fortune?

The son of destiny?

Li Si asked Cao Zhengchun to kill the Zhao family in Zhuo County, just to see if Zhao Yuanlang will obtain the "national destiny" that belongs to Zhao Yuanlang after Zhao Yuanlang's death.

In Li Si's view, Zhao Yuanlang, as the founder of the Song Dynasty decades later, must have been shrouded in his huge "national destiny".

In the future, Zhao Yuanlang relies on looking at the "national fortune" to turn bad luck into good fortune and adventures continue to occur

After Zhao Yuanlang and even the Zhao family were destroyed, will these "national destinies" be absorbed by the Tang Empire and become the food for Li Si to advance?

If Li Si's guess is true, Li Si's acquisition of national destiny will have another way, and even when conquering the heavens and all realms in the future, he will have another breakthrough.

If the guess is false

There was no loss to Li Si either.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to speak out more when he goes to destroy a family in a local area?

"I hope my guess is true"

A look of expectation appeared on Li Si's face.

However, whether it is true or not, Li Si will have to wait for Cao Zhengchun to take action before Li Si can know.

Li Si was not in a hurry for the past half a day.

Just as Li Si was thinking.

The eunuch of the closest servant walked in lightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhang Gong of the Academy of Sciences is asking for a meeting."

"Zhang Gong?"

Li Si raised his eyebrows.

Li Si remembered that the last time Zhang Gong looked for him was asking about the "steam" fuel.

At present, the "steam" developed by Zhang Gong is not suitable for continued use of firewood as fuel.

At that time, Li Si directly told Zhang Gong about the "coal" in later generations.

Coal is much more convenient than ordinary firewood. Although there are some safety hazards, Li Si has no intention of popularizing coal for the time being.

"Prince."

"Abide by the order."

soon.

Zhang Gong strode into the Hall of Eternity, bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "See Your Majesty."

Zhang Gong admired Li Si from the bottom of his heart.

Without Li Si's reminder, even if Zhang Gong has been in a hundred years, he would never have thought of using the 'steam' everywhere as a power.

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne, waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Abide by the order."

"Just tell me the matter directly." Li Si looked at Zhang Gong without any slightest beat.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have developed a model of the 'steam engine', and I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look."

Zhang Gong took out a drawing from his cuffs and held it on his hands.

The eunuch approached and presented the drawings to the dragon case.

Li Si roughly glanced at the drawings and nodded slightly.

In fact, the so-called "steam engine" is not as difficult as imagined.

As long as the idea is correct, the solution to several of the difficulties and the cooperation with professionals like Zhang Gong, it will only take time.

"good."

Li Si put the 'steam' drawings on the dragon table.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Gong's face was full of joy.

What is he going to develop "steam" day and night?

Isn’t it just to make His Majesty think he is still useful?

When Li Si saw Zhang Gong's expression, he changed his tone and said lightly: "But the development of the 'steam engine' is just the beginning, and the 'steam engine' is just a dead thing. What's more important is how to use the 'steam engine'."

The emperor's words shocked Zhang Gong.

Because of the emperor's affirmation, Zhang Gong was still a little proud, but when he heard the emperor's next words, Zhang Gong suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.

Your Majesty is right.

If it is just a 'steam engine', it is useless.

The important thing about the 'steam engine' is how to use it

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Gong felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.

However, the more this happens, the more it can inspire Zhang Gong's spirit of refusal to admit defeat.

Even the "steam engine" has been developed. Wouldn't it be easy to use it next?

"Okay, you go down."

Li Si leaned slightly on the dragon throne and said slowly.

"Abide by the order."

Zhang Gong withdrew from the Palace of Eternal Life with high fighting spirit and returned directly to the Academy of Sciences.

After Zhang Gong left, Li Si recruited a nearby eunuch.

"Go and tell the Minister of Revenue to give Zhang Gong a thousand taels of silver." Li Si said casually.

According to the current price level of the Tang Dynasty, a thousand taels of silver can definitely be regarded as a huge sum of money.

However, the so-called "huge money" is just a number for Li Si.

There are hundreds of millions of silver in the treasury

Today's Tang Empire is not short of money at all.

Zhang Gong developed the "steam engine" and made great contributions!

If you have any merits, you should reward them!

Li Si rubbed his eyebrows, slowly got up, and slowly paced in the Hall of Longevity.

Now the Jiedu system has been abolished by Li Si, and Li Si replaced the Jiedu system with the separation of powers, perfectly solving the drawbacks of the Jiedu system.

The fall of the Jiedushi means that the biggest obstacle in the land reform of the Tang Dynasty has been cleared.

Next, Li Si can take back all the land in the world and the country.

In Li Si's view, the main reason for the demise of ancient dynasties was land annexation.

Reclaiming the land back to state ownership completely cut off the source of land annexation.

Since then, all land within the territory of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the state, and every piece of land is under the control of the Tang Empire. How can land annexation occur in this case?

Zhuo County!

The Zhao family father and son are discussing how to use the identity of the son of destiny to increase their bargaining chips as much as possible.
