Chapter 319: People's hearts are not in the ancient world, and there are many comparisons and extravagances.
On the boat, in the pavilion.
After Li Yuanfeng finished speaking, there was silence everywhere.
He was pacing, his eyes dark.
Only the incense sticks on the huanghuali wood table were burning, and the green smoke was slanting in the sunlight coming from the window, curling up and lingering. If the sky was about to be overcast, the shadows would be sparse and lingering around.
In the dazzling smoke and light, the uncertainty on the faces of the courtiers in the pavilion was reflected.
It has to be said that the people in the palace are all powerful people in the Izumo Kingdom and smart people, but the more they are like this, the more aware they are of the heavy pressure.
Pressure, if the wind suddenly rises outside the building, the new water hits the ice, causing ripples to spread out in all directions, the vast and dim posture makes people feel depressed.
At this moment, Qin Yunyi smiled softly, breaking the silence in the room. She dragged her skirt to the small stove and saw fine smoke from the slow fire. The water in the copper stove was boiling, and the bubbles were rolling like crab-eye fish scales. They rolled one after another, and then stretched out.
He raised it with his slender hands, and then said to everyone in the hall: "This is the snow water left in this winter. It's just the right time to make a pot of heavenly fragrant tea. You can moisten your throat before continuing to talk."
After saying that, the copper kettle was tilted, and the boiling water was poured into the small porcelain cup. The tea leaves were washed by it, and the fragrance of agarwood suddenly appeared. It was different from the fragrance of flowers, fresh and ice-free, and hit the mouth and nose.
Seeing that Qin Yunyi had to personally serve tea to everyone after making tea, an official quickly came forward and said, "I don't dare to wait for you."
He had a weak hand, so he grabbed it and gave tea to his colleagues.
Li Yuanfeng also sat down again, and Qin Yunyi personally served the tea. He blew a breath, and the fragrance of the tea flowed on the tip of his nose. He smiled and said: "Concubine De is good at tea ceremony. This tea, just one smell, will make people happy."
Eye-catching."
Since Concubine Yan was born when Zhao Dechang was the previous leader of the country, Li Yuanfeng was firmly established as the leader of the Izumo Kingdom some time ago. After everyone in the court recognized it, he officially accepted Qin Yunyi into the harem and granted her the title of Deconcubine.
Concubine De is second only to the imperial concubine and has a prominent status in the palace. In the absence of the imperial concubine, the entire inner palace can be said to be a single family. It is not inferior to before, or even to a higher level.
Qin Yunyi sat in front of Li Yuanfeng. When he heard his words, a beautiful smile appeared on his beautiful face. His eyes turned as if there were smoke and water. He covered his red lips with his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and everyone in the palace are all smart people.
I don’t even need the fragrance of my concubine’s tea, it will be very eye-catching.”
The ministers in the cabinet are really smart people. When they heard the monarch and the concubine singing in harmony, they immediately understood what the other party meant. The monarch's decision had been made and could not be changed. If he spoke clearly, he agreed and went ahead with it with all his strength.
If you don't pay attention, huh, do you really think that the king doesn't kill people?
"Your Majesty."
So after half a cup of tea was finished, one of the ministers came out and said, "I will wait and find ways to free the subjects of Izumo Kingdom from the bewitchment of the Immortal Sect and no longer practice demonic methods such as calming the energy and concentrating the mind."
"It's not about being bewitched, but it's also about magic."
Li Yuanfeng said slowly: "When you tell your subordinates, it is mainly because this method can calm the mind. However, the vast majority of people cannot grasp this degree. They are immersed in it, do not engage in production, and do not enjoy sexual intercourse. Over time, they become pure and have few desires.
, Forgetting your ancestors is not a good thing."
"yes."
Some people thought about it for a while and couldn't help but nod, but they agreed. It is true that some people become indifferent to their wives, daughters, relatives, friends, family, and even the country as they practice more and more. This is not a good sign.
Li Yuanfeng saw the thoughtful expressions of the ministers in his eyes, took another sip of tea, and couldn't help but smile.
He stands high and can see far, so of course he can see the effect of practicing the method of meditation and concentration. What he just said is true. After all, the method of meditation and concentration is a method of cultivation and a way to seek the Tao, and those who practice and seek the Tao are naturally
He has the quality of being self-conscious and selfish.
Of course, due to limited qualifications, many people could not reach this level of cultivation, but he decisively implemented a one-size-fits-all approach, and when signs appeared, he imposed a ban and used the topic to his advantage.
"The fourth strategy."
Li Yuanfeng put down the tea cup and said in a loud voice that echoed in the hall: "Encourage innovation and invention, focusing on food, farm tools, medicine, etc. Anyone who succeeds will be rewarded."
"Increase the salaries of Izumo officials, extend their vacation periods, and improve the treatment of scholars."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Everyone readily accepted this, as it was only good for them and had no harm.
"That's it for now."
Li Yuanfeng looked at everyone, and the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by seriousness, and said: "Please complete it as soon as possible, write down the details, and submit it as quickly as possible."
"Your Majesty, please retire."
Prime Minister Qin He and others stayed for a while, then stood up to leave.
It became quiet in the pavilion.
Qin Yun stood up in a curl of clothes, came to the window, opened the small window, and let in the cool spring breeze mixed with the gurgling water, to wash away the smell that had become a bit turbid in the back pavilion because of the crowd.
She turned her head slightly and saw Li Yuanfeng sitting on the couch. The sun was like a wheel, reflecting behind him. Even so, there was still an indescribable depth. When the bright colors touched his body, they naturally turned into darkness.
Color, fall into it.
The born devil is not a good person.
"De Fei,"
Li Yuanfeng raised his head, looked at Qin Yunyi who was standing in front of the window, and asked: "What do you think of this king's decision?"
"this,"
Qin Yunyi thought for a while, her face was shining, and she organized her words: "I think it is best to prevent the scholars and common people of Izumo from practicing the method of meditation."
Qin Yunyi didn't have too deep an idea about the nature of people's thoughts, but her demonic constitution made her instinctively feel that it was not good for scholars and common people to practice meditation. In that case, how could she spy on what they were thinking?
If you can’t play with people’s hearts, how can you improve your own strength?
Li Yuanfeng tasted tea again, his brows filled with concentration.
The free energy in the void required for your own cultivation comes from the human heart and thoughts of living beings. The more the better, and the more complex the better.
Immortalism and Shintoism are external influences, so naturally they must be driven out as quickly as possible.
The remaining few items belong to the hard work of practicing internal strength.
Encouraging births, inventions, etc. is to increase the population and increase the source base.
As for making people's hearts and thoughts complicated, Izumo needs to put a lot of contradictions on it, such as class stratification, such as the style of luxury, such as the ethos of men and women, etc., etc., which can arouse people's comparison, desire, and yearning.
Jealousy, blah blah blah, all going on.
We need to make everyone align themselves with money, official positions, and power, hoping to reach the sky all day long. We also need to free many people from production to specialize in eating, drinking, and having fun, and lead different, extravagant, weird, or different things.
trend.
It makes people feel uneasy, makes the world worse, makes people less reverent and only follow the bottom line of the law, and let others do whatever they want.
If this continues, Li Yuanfeng believes that there will soon be a dramatic change in the Izumo Parliament, and people's hearts will become more complicated than ever.
Chapter completed!
