Chapter 201 Let you see the power of a first-grade warrior!
on the street.
As Xu Qingxiao just walked out of the Hou Mansion.
An unprecedented feeling came over me, it was the fear of the demon inside me.
And it's not just fear.
It's surrender.
It's like an ordinary wild animal feeling a sense of surrender when it encounters a tiger.
Look away.
He is an old man in sackcloth.
The old man looked like he was sixty or seventy years old. He looked at himself with kind eyes.
Feeling the old man's gaze, Xu Qingxiao nodded slightly. This terrifying pressure came from this old man.
"I've met the old gentleman."
Xu Qingxiao bowed towards the other party.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"My little friend should be Xu Qingxiao, right?"
The old man walked slowly over, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said slowly.
He asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Sir, yes."
Although I don't know who the other person is, from the reaction of the demon species in my body, I can tell that this person is definitely not an ordinary person. He also has a smile in his eyes and is relatively kind. At least he gave me a good first impression.
Probably not looking for trouble.
"Well, not bad, not bad, young and promising, young and promising."
The old man nodded, his eyes full of appreciation, and then he stretched out his hand and slightly grabbed Xu Qingxiao's arm.
In an instant, Xu Qingxiao felt a little nervous. After all, being suddenly grabbed by an old man's hand would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Just the next moment.
Before Xu Qingxiao could say anything, a burst of energy spread all over her body in an instant.
No matter how hard it is, it can't stop him. The martial arts energy in his body doesn't even have time to react.
At this time, the old man's originally smiling expression suddenly changed.
At first, some of the demonic energy in his body leaked out, but he immediately took it back, fearing that it would affect Xu Qingxiao.
But the real change in his expression was not because of this. It was normal for the demonic energy to leak out. There was too much demonic energy accumulated in his body. This was not the first time that this happened.
"Fifth level of martial arts?"
"You have actually entered the fifth level?"
"Hiss, there is not even a trace of impurity in your body. Your martial arts realm is terrifyingly solid, your foundation is unbreakable, and there is no flaw at all."
"How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
Wu Ming looked at Xu Qingxiao, his old face was full of surprise.
As a first-level warrior, he could actually tell how strong the opponent's realm was just by looking at the popularity machine, but there was something in Xu Qingxiao's body that prevented others from prying into it.
Wu Ming could have opened his martial arts third eye to see Xu Qingxiao's realm strength, but thinking about it, it was not necessary. He could see clearly even if he touched Xu Qingxiao.
No need to make it too troublesome.
It's just that if you don't know this, you will be shocked when you see it.
Wu Ming knew that Xu Qingxiao was a newly promoted prince in the Wei Dynasty, and he was also a great scholar of the fourth rank of Confucianism and Taoism. Such a person was a great talent in the world of literature.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao had such great attainments in martial arts?
It is not uncommon for a 20-year-old to be at the fifth level. What is rare is that while Xu Qingxiao is at the fourth level in Confucianism and Taoism, he is still at the fifth level in martial arts. What is even rarer is that Xu Qingxiao is flawless in every realm.
A twenty-year-old fifth-level warrior, he would not be surprised at all.
Even a ten-year-old fifth-level warrior, Wu Ming, wouldn't be too surprised.
But being able to achieve perfection in every realm is truly terrifying. As a first-level warrior, it is difficult for him to achieve perfection in every realm.
There are more or less some minor flaws.
It cannot be said that if you have flaws, you will definitely not be able to become a first-level warrior, but if you have no flaws, you will be more likely to be promoted, and he knows this.
Before becoming a first-class master, Wu Ming also paid a huge price to make up for all the flaws in his previous practice.
Maybe Qingxiao is a scholar of Confucianism and Taoism, how could he practice martial arts to such perfection?
Thinking of this, Wu Ming grabbed Xu Qingxiao's arm and frantically explored the situation inside Xu Qingxiao's body.
Soon, an even more shocking information appeared.
By examining the martial arts energy in Xu Qingxiao's body, Wu Ming discovered that Xu Qingxiao had cultivated his energy within a year.
Others may not be able to find out, but as a first-level warrior, Wu Ming can naturally find out when Xu Qingxiao entered the level.
One year.
No, not even a year.
"This is impossible."
"It is absolutely impossible to enter the fifth rank in one year and every rank will be flawless."
Wu Ming grabbed Xu Qingxiao's hand and checked it back and forth three or four times. However, under his inquiry, the magic seed became much more honest and was not exposed.
"Old sir."
"Old sir, it hurts when I pinch you. It hurts."
Xu Qingxiao shouted, it definitely didn't hurt, but Xu Qingxiao still had to say something. The old man grabbed his hand when he came up and muttered some information.
He instantly gained insight into his own martial arts realm, including all the details.
How could this not surprise Xu Qingxiao?
"Oh, I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry."
Hearing Xu Qingxiao cry out in pain, Wu Ming immediately withdrew his hand. He looked at Xu Qingxiao, then looked up and down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Old sir, Xu has some important matters to attend to and needs to leave first."
Xu Qingxiao didn't know the origin of the other party, but the other party saw through her all of a sudden. She was still subconsciously wary and wary, so she took the initiative to resign and go to the household department first.
However, Wu Ming didn't speak, he just looked at Xu Qingxiao quietly, one thought after another flashing through his mind.
The fourth grade of Confucianism and Taoism.
Fifth grade martial arts.
All of them arrived within a year. He wouldn't talk about the fourth level of Confucianism and Taoism. He knew how difficult it was, but if he had the fifth level of martial arts and the flawless realm, then there was a possibility.
Xu Qingxiao has a flawless body in martial arts legends.
Yes, a flawless body.
Only this kind of physique can be flawless in every realm. Otherwise, Xu Qingxiao practices Confucianism and Taoism, martial arts, and is also involved in government affairs. How could he possibly pay attention to every detail?
Even if you really want to cultivate every realm to perfection, you still can't do it. Even the advice of experts is useless, because you don't know many details yourself.
Unless there is a first-grade warrior behind Xu Qingxiao, and even if there is a first-grade warrior, he can only point out what is wrong with Xu Qingxiao. Whether he can solve the problem depends on Xu Qingxiao himself.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
Xu Qingxiao has the legendary flawless body, and when she practices martial arts, she will naturally become flawless at every level.
There have not been many people with this kind of physique throughout the ages.
Moreover, this kind of physique is said to be a first-grade warrior in the future. As long as Xu Qingxiao does not seek death and practices normally, he can become a first-grade warrior in his lifetime. Therefore, a flawless body means that another first-grade warrior will be born in the future.
Moreover, there is a legend about the flawless body. After the flawless body reaches the first level, there is a certain probability that it will reach the realm after the first level.
No one knows what the state is after the first level. There is no clear record even in books, because no one has ever cultivated to that state. Whether it is really a legend is a legend.
As a first-level warrior, he can clearly sense that after first-level, there should be no new realm.
Because there is no breakthrough direction.
However, according to the calculations of the sages, the reason why first-level warriors cannot detect the realm behind them is not because of aptitude issues or environmental issues, but because of physical issues.
Only if every state is flawless and the body is condensed into a flawless body, it is possible to comprehend new things.
But this is just a calculation and assumption. No one knows whether it is true or not.
And now, he actually met a flawless person, how could he not be excited about this?
Just hearing that Xu Qingxiao was about to leave, Wu Ming directly grabbed Xu Qingxiao.
"Little friend, I see that you have wonderful bones and excellent aptitude, and I would like to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
Wu Ming spoke up.
His eyes were a little straight.
Flawless body, he really didn't expect that one day he would meet a flawless warrior.
This is really a treasure.
No, I found a big treasure.
Wonderful bones? Excellent qualifications?
Xu Qingxiao withdrew her hand forcefully and looked at Wu Mingdao with a wry smile.
"Senior, let's forget about accepting a disciple. Xu is a scholar and is not interested in martial arts. Martial arts is just a casual practice of self-defense."
Xu Qingxiao didn't agree, not because he looked down on the other person, but Xu Qingxiao just felt that this person probably had a lot of background, and his martial arts level was definitely not bad. Otherwise, how could he easily suppress him?
If such a person were to be by his side, Xu Qingxiao would never agree to it.
I am a person who has practiced strange arts. If someone notices something strange, I will probably be slapped to death without being able to run away.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao directly refused.
However, Wu Ming was not surprised at all when he heard Xu Qingxiao's rejection.
There is nothing surprising about this. He suddenly appeared and directly wanted to accept Xu Qingxiao as his disciple. It would be weird if Xu Qingxiao agreed.
However, Wu Ming was not anxious, but looked at Xu Qingxiao with an extremely serious expression.
"Xu Qingxiao."
"Originally, I came to you because I heard that you have done many good things for Wei Dynasty. I wanted to help you cut off your hair and cleanse your marrow, so as to get rid of all kinds of diseases and prolong your life."
"However, today I realized that you are extraordinary and extremely suitable for the path of martial arts, so I started to love talents."
"Of course, you are a little wary of me. This is normal and I can understand it. But I will tell you my true identity now."
"I am a first-class warrior in the Wei Dynasty, Wu Ming."
Wu Ming spoke up and told Xu Qingxiao his true identity.
"Dawei Yipin?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little shocked. He looked at Wu Ming, and his first reaction was to believe it.
Yes, totally believe it.
First of all, the age is consistent, and secondly, the strength of the other party is very strong. Even if it is not shown, just by looking at the situation in his own body, he cannot be an ordinary person.
An ordinary fourth-grade or third-grade person should not be able to achieve such absolute suppression.
If you say Yipin, Xu Qingxiao believes it.
Besides, what's the point of the other party lying to me? In the Wei Dynasty, there are only two people of the same rank. If others don't know each other, wouldn't the empress know her? Wouldn't you know if you go back and ask the empress?
No one dares to pretend to be a first-class person, especially someone with good strength. To pretend to be a first-class person is to seek death.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao believed it directly.
But after learning that the other party was a first-grade person, Xu Qingxiao finally understood why the alien magic species in her body felt a sense of fear and surrender.
Because the other party is a first-class person.
First grade martial arts.
The human martial emperor.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao spoke directly without any hesitation.
"Xu Qingxiao, meet your senior."
"However, please forgive me, senior. Qingxiao is a scholar. As I said just now, practicing martial arts is only for physical fitness and self-defense. I don't want to take this path."
"Senior, please forgive me."
When Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, he refused directly. Not knowing that the other party was a first-class person, Xu Qingxiao could continue chatting for a while, but after learning that the other party was a first-class person, Xu Qingxiao no longer wanted to stay and chat.
"Senior, Mr. Xu really has something to do. He has to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and won't disturb senior."
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao turned and left.
He didn't give Wu Ming even the slightest chance.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao leaving, Wu Ming was in a daze.
As a first-class warrior of the Wei Dynasty and a human martial emperor, it stands to reason that wherever he goes and reveals his identity, the other party will treat him with respect, right?
Although Xu Qingxiao was respectful, her words seemed to be filled with a trace of distrust. More importantly, there was some intention to evade?
What does it mean?
Do you suspect that you are telling lies? Or do you mean that you don’t trust yourself?
"Xu Xiaoyou, don't worry, I didn't lie to you. In this way, I will take you to see His Majesty. After meeting His Majesty, you will know everything."
For Wu Ming, he was not angry at Xu Qingxiao's rejection because he subconsciously believed that Xu Qingxiao just didn't trust him.
So he planned to take Xu Qingxiao to the palace to meet the empress, who would tell Xu Qingxiao what her identity was.
Otherwise, a dignified first-class warrior would accept you as his disciple, and you would actually refuse?
This is a bit outrageous.
Ever since he arrived at the first level, no one dared to refuse him, no matter who it was.
But after hearing this, Xu Qingxiao was still crying and laughing.
Looking at the person blocking her way, Xu Qingxiao said helplessly.
"senior."
"Xu believes that you are a first-class person. It's just that the household department really has important matters waiting for this junior to deal with."
"National affairs are better than those of the younger generation. Furthermore, the younger generation does not like to practice martial arts."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
The more the other party behaves like this, the more he believes it, but the more he believes it, the less likely Xu Qingxiao will agree and must run away quickly.
Being targeted by a first-grade warrior will lead to something big sooner or later.
Even if she knew it would be beneficial, Xu Qingxiao would not dare to agree.
At that moment, Wu Ming was not allowed to say any more. Xu Qingxiao had already walked quickly towards the household department, even speeding up the pace, unwilling to talk to him.
At this moment, Wu Ming was really confused.
"No, I have to go to His Majesty. I must accept Xu Qingxiao as a disciple."
"With a flawless body, he is the third first-grade warrior in the Wei Dynasty. If such a good young talent is snatched away by that old guy, he will laugh at him in the future."
Wu Ming stopped harassing Xu Qingxiao.
He still thought that Xu Qingxiao didn't believe him at all, so he planned to go to the palace and have a good talk with the empress.
That's it.
Wu Ming's figure disappeared from the spot.
Almost instantly, Xu Qingxiao noticed that the pressure was gone, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath.
The pace also gradually slowed down a bit.
But his eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.
First grade.
This is a word that is heavier than Mount Tai. It means too much. Xu Qingxiao has no idea how strong a first-grade warrior is, but through many remarks and descriptions.
Xu Qingxiao probably knows that as long as Yipin comes forward, these things will no longer matter.
It can be said that the first rank is the last trump card of each giant force. Using the first rank means the final battle.
The strongest foundation of the Wei Dynasty was not its economic system or its five military camps, but its two first-grade warriors.
A first-level warrior does not need to salute when meeting the emperor. He is on an equal footing with the emperor. However, no first-level warrior will covet the throne. This is the natural rule of heaven and earth. After becoming a first-level warrior, he will have the luck of a warrior.
The warrior's luck cannot be integrated with the emperor's luck, otherwise it will backfire on him.
Therefore, there is no need to doubt that a first-grade warrior will rebel. Of course, the other party can choose to assist another person and inherit the throne. This is okay.
What Xu Qingxiao didn't expect was that he would meet a first-grade warrior, and that the other party would also pay attention to him.
Although the first purpose was to accept him as his disciple, Xu Qingxiao was a little resistant.
Practicing strange arts under the nose of a first-grade warrior? Isn't this looking for death?
Don't look back. Great Wei Wen Palace searched for a long time, but couldn't find out that he was practicing strange arts. It would be embarrassing if he attracted a first-grade martial artist and was found out.
When the time comes, you will have to die if you don’t want to.
In particular, the first-level warriors of the Wei Dynasty suppressed the devil's cave every year and devoted all their best time to the devil's energy. If they found out that they were practicing strange arts, they would probably turn against them on the spot and kill them with a knife.
so.
No matter what, you must not touch it.
Must not touch.
This is Xu Qingxiao's inner thought.
Not long after.
Xu Qingxiao also came to the household department.
"Master Xu, Gu Shangshu has been waiting for you in the room for a long time."
The guards outside the household department, when they saw Xu Qingxiao coming, immediately stepped forward respectfully.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and then quickly walked into the study room of the Ministry of Finance.
At this time, Gu Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the left and right ministers of the Ministry of household affairs were all sitting in the middle. The three of them were holding files one after another. They were beaming with joy and smiling a little crazy.
"Gu Shangshu."
Pushing open the door, Xu Qingxiao saluted Gu Yan.
"Master Xu is here."
"Xu Houye is in good health."
When the ministers on the left and right saw Xu Qingxiao, they immediately stood up and saluted. Xu Qingxiao was on the same level as the two of them in terms of position. Although they were both ministers, Xu Qingxiao was now canonized as a marquis, so naturally they could not get along with each other on the same level.
But Gu Yan is different. He is the Minister of the Sixth Order. If it is not a formal occasion, there is no need to call him Marquis Xu Qingxiao. That would make him unfamiliar.
"Shouren, you are finally here."
"Come on, come on, take a look, this is Pingwang County's grain production file."
"Hahahaha, Pingwang County, the land of ten prefectures, the poorest Changchun Prefecture, in the first quarter of this year, there were 1.2 million shi of grain. This is a great harvest, a great harvest, which is much better than last year.
It’s almost four times more.”
Gu Yan said with great excitement.
He excitedly took out a file and handed it to Xu Qingxiao to read.
Pingwang County and Changchun Mansion are the poorest and most miserable places in Pingwang County. In previous years, 300,000 tons of grain were produced in one quarter. 40% of this grain had to be handed over, while each place retained 10%, and only 30% was handed over.
About 90,000 dan of grain arrived.
Changchun Prefecture is relatively poor. Although it is called a prefecture, it is actually not as good as some larger counties.
Now that such poor people have four times the food supply, one can imagine how terrible the benefits brought by the waterwheel project are?
What is the concept of four times the food? The empress has been exempted from the food tax for three years, so these people have four times the harvest, which can be converted into money, which can completely improve their lives.
Not to mention buying new clothes, at least it’s okay to eat and drink enough, right? There’s absolutely no problem in improving your food.
Gu Yan is happy not because he cares about how much tax he can collect, but because he has seen the quality of life of the people through this data.
"The overall harvest in Pingwang County is three times 20% more, but the grain fields are twice as large. Overall, it's pretty good."
Xu Qingxiao took a look at the data and saw that there were more harvests. The main reason was that a large number of abandoned fields were turned into grain fields. Since the water source was solved, many abandoned fields could naturally be reused.
If there are more fields, the harvest will naturally increase.
This is more reward for more work, which is a good thing, but for Xu Qingxiao, it is something that is expected.
"Shouren, there are currently seven counties that have submitted grain production files. I did some calculations and then calculated that the grain harvest of the Wei Dynasty in the first quarter of this year should be about three times more than in previous years, and the fluctuation will not exceed 20%.
"
"In other words, if the national tax is not exempted, we should be able to receive 30,000 taels of silver and produce about 80,000 taels of grain."
"After five years of stability, there will be no hungry people in the Wei Dynasty."
Gu Yan said with some excitement.
He made calculations through the files of the seven counties, and determined that the grain output of the Wei Dynasty this year should be worth about 80,000 taels.
Because the national tax is exempted, all these eighty million taels belong to the people.
If it continues for five years, the problem of food and clothing will be completely solved.
Xu Qingxiao shook her head and said.
"It doesn't take five years, it could be two years as quickly as possible, or three years as slowly as possible. The Wei Dynasty will have enough food to completely supply the country, and the people will have some money on hand."
Xu Qingxiao answered, but Gu Yan was still a little conservative.
Five years is too long.
Two or three years is almost enough.
"Is it really that fast?"
Gu Yan swallowed. Five years was not a conservative, but a relatively good expectation. However, he did not expect that Xu Qingxiao actually said that as soon as two years or as slowly as three years, the Wei Dynasty would be able to completely provide for the internal affairs, and the people would not only be able to eat
If you’re full and full, you’ll still have some money left on hand?
This is a bit incredible.
"Master Gu, think about it, after the results of the first quarter's grain harvest come out, what will the people who have been liquidated look like now?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"You should be happy, right?"
Gu Yan replied.
"No, it's not that I'm happy, but I'm laughing so hard that I can't sleep."
"Relatively good places have four or five times the harvest. Of course, because of the addition of many refugees, plus twice the harvest in relatively average places, the total is about three times the harvest."
"We tripled our harvest in one fell swoop, and we don't need to pay national taxes. We only need to pay some local taxes, not even half a percent."
"For them, their grain income in this season is a full seven times higher than last year's grain income in the first quarter."
"Seven times."
"Can they not wake up with laughter? The rice seeds of the Wei Dynasty are harvested twice a year, and they have harvested three and a half years in one go. It's you, can you still sleep?"
"In this case, these people will go everywhere to promote it, and they will also buy many new things. Whether it is improving food or buying things, everything they do will be seen by the neighbors."
"Those who have not yet started farming, are they in a hurry? They are afraid that they will have to open up wasteland and earn money the next day."
"Furthermore, after His Majesty promised the tax exemption, people in various places have responded positively and started to open up wasteland one after another. Therefore, there will be an explosive growth in the second half of the year and the first half of next year."
"In other words, in the first half of next year, the Wei Dynasty will have no wasteland available, and Changchun Mansion will definitely not only have 1.2 million dans of grain, but at least 5 million dans or more."
Xu Qingxiao analyzed it carefully.
What he said was clear and logical, and the two ministers listened with interest and praised him repeatedly.
indeed.
Nowadays, most people are indeed engaged in farming, but there are still many people who are not engaged in farming, whether it is doing some small business, or doing something else.
It's not that I don't want to farm, it's just that I can't make much money from farming, and I'm not a landlord. Most of them just farm and earn some food and clothing.
But now the imperial court is tax-free for three years. In addition, there is a water tanker to solve the water source problem. Each person in the Huangtian family has one acre. If you have money, you can still buy it. Of course, the price is not cheap.
After all, the purpose of the Wei Dynasty in allocating fields to the people was to increase productivity, not to allow merchants to hoard and make money.
Therefore, when the income from farming suddenly increased so many times, ranging from four to five times, to even eight or nine times, who would not be jealous?
If this happens, I'm afraid I'll have to rush to farm.
There was no shortage of water sources in the Wei Dynasty, it was just a matter of distance. Xu Qingxiao's waterwheel solved this problem, and naturally the abandoned fields were reused.
Even if it develops further and the Wei Dynasty has no wasteland to use, then build a super waterwheel and ask immortal disciples to build it, which can reach thousands of miles and reclaim all the dry land.
By that time, the Wei Dynasty will not be short of food at all.
Of course, this plan must be something in the future.
"Shouren, you are really smart."
Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
But soon, Gu Yan thought about it and spoke immediately.
"If I follow what you said, Shouren, we should step up preparations for the wasteland now."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs must issue an edict to stop providing wasteland free of charge. In one month, we will stop providing wasteland free of charge. In this way, many strong men can go back to claim wasteland."
"Then, let people inspect the land, and if anyone is found not cultivating the land, the grain fields will be confiscated."
"Also, there is a food problem. The Wei Dynasty needs to stock up on food. This time, the people have grown so much food. They are happy. However, the price of food will inevitably be suppressed by some profiteers."
"I want to give an order to the Wei Chamber of Commerce to monitor the price and not be too low. At the same time, various places in the Wei Dynasty must also purchase grain and store it, about 40%, to prepare for emergencies. All silver taels will be spent from the treasury.
"
“It can be considered as killing multiple birds with one stone.”
Gu Yan spoke up, and he immediately made several plans through what Xu Qingxiao said.
Every plan is great.
Ginger is still spicy.
Use retreat to advance, and let the strong men who are idle in various counties and prefectures go home to produce food. After all, the wasteland is there for free, and most people like to take advantage.
But the problem is that some young people go to other prefectures and counties to make a living. They can't make it out for a long time, and they are afraid of losing face when they go back. Moreover, they have nothing to do when they go home, so they refuse to go back. They would rather sleep outside in a bridge cave than go back to farm.
The family is too lazy to care.
Now that Gu Yan's trick has been released for a limited time, and the people are now having a bumper harvest, I am afraid that these strong men wandering around will have to go home.
Then we will harvest grain and stabilize the grain price, which will definitely be lower than before. After all, there is more grain, so the price will naturally be cheaper. Of course, the price cannot be too low, otherwise the people will not be happy.
In order to prevent businessmen from causing trouble, Gu Yan did everything right, which indeed made Xu Qingxiao sigh.
"Master Gu is wise."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and sighed with emotion.
"Shouren, if someone else praises me, I will accept it, but if you praise me, I will not have the shame to accept it."
"Okay, I called you here today because I want you to see how it works. But judging from your appearance, I feel like you have already expected it. On the contrary, I seem to have never seen the world."
"I won't disturb you anymore. You can go back and have a good rest."
Gu Yan spoke.
He called Xu Qingxiao over just to have fun together, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao behaved exactly as he had expected, which made him a little helpless.
"Okay, Sir Gu, I'll leave first."
Xu Qingxiao nodded. She must be happy when the grain yield results came out, but this was expected, so she wasn't particularly happy.
"Master Hou, walk slowly."
"Master Xu, walk slowly."
"Well, go back and have a good rest."
The attendants and Gu Yan spoke.
And just after Xu Qingxiao stepped out of the door, Xu Qingxiao suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Yandao.
"Master Gu, there is something that you need to take a look at. Let various places inspect the fertile fields or see if there are any strange rice during planting. If you find anything, report it to the court immediately."
"No matter how big or small, if you find anything strange in any place, you must report it. All the information will be sent to me by the Ministry of Household Affairs. I'd like to thank you, sir."
Xu Qingxiao mentioned something.
The Wei Dynasty is now developing in a good direction, but even if all the wasteland is used, the problem surrounding the Wei Dynasty is still the same.
Internal supply.
What most people eat now is not millet. Rice is something that can only be eaten by those whose family background is not too poor.
Most people still eat a kind of Xiaoligu, which has little nutrition, but it is cheap and can fill their stomachs.
Perhaps Qingxiao's first goal in developing productivity was to feed the people of Wei, either with food like Xiaoli Gu or with solid rice.
When you are full, you will have strength. If you have strength, you can work, and your body will become stronger. At least it is better than eating Oguri Valley, right?
After the body is strong, the children born will not suffer from widespread malnutrition, and the mortality rate can also be greatly reduced.
Only in this way can we be prosperous.
Population is the first criterion for productivity.
Two years.
Xu Qingxiao conservatively estimated that she had told Gu Yan for three years because she was afraid that Gu Yan would not believe him.
Within two years, Xu Qingxiao can guarantee to solve the current food problem of the people of Wei Dynasty, but Xu Qingxiao is definitely not looking at the present, but the future.
It is useless if the people of the Wei Dynasty are full now. It will be useful only if the people of the Wei Dynasty can be full in the future.
And as there is more and more food, the people at the bottom have money on hand. Sooner or later, farming will gradually cool down, and many people will start doing business.
This is an unavoidable phenomenon.
Therefore, the situation of landowners will definitely exist in the future and cannot be eliminated. However, whether it is the landowner or the people farming, at least the impact on grain production will not fluctuate greatly.
The biggest problem is the new baby in the future.
As long as the people of the Wei Dynasty had enough to eat, they had nothing to do but make babies. Even as the family situation got better and better, if they had two mouths of food, they would have two babies, and if they had three mouths of food, they would have three babies.
It is very likely that after next year, the people of the Wei Dynasty will start a vigorous campaign to create babies.
After all, life is getting better day by day, and I will definitely have more lives.
Then once the fertility rate rises, the food gap will increase instantly, and perfect domestic supply cannot be achieved simply by plowing wasteland.
so!
You still need to find suitable seeds, or four-season rice, to double your grain yield.
Or it is something like hybrid rice. One such rice is worth twice or even three times the normal value.
Only in this way can we cope with future population expansion, otherwise we will be like a chicken feather again.
Xu Qingxiao thought about it.
As long as he finds this kind of rice that can be perfectly adapted to production, he dares to ask the empress to issue an imperial edict.
We encourage all-round fertility in Da Wei, and there are rewards for giving birth to children, regardless of gender, and food subsidies are provided until the age of ten. Parents only need to spend a little to ensure that the baby will not have to worry about food and drink before the age of ten.
To reduce the child-rearing pressure of the common people in the Wei Dynasty, when the future development gets better and better, how much money can be spent on food?
Of course, this is just an idea, everything has to wait until it is found.
only.
Just when Xu Qingxiao walked out of the household department and arrived outside the Hou Mansion, Li Xian's figure ran from not far away.
"Master Xu, Lord Xu."
"His Majesty ordered you to come to the palace."
As Li Xian spoke, Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised, but soon he inexplicably guessed something.
"Did someone go to the palace and meet His Majesty? Is he an old man?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Yes, yes, Lord Xu, you really know things like a god."
Li Xian said directly.
"well."
With a long sigh, Xu Qingxiao said nothing and walked directly towards the palace.
He originally wanted to ask for sick leave directly, but after thinking about it, if you ask for sick leave in front of a first-level warrior, you are treating him like a fool.
Maybe Qingxiao is a little depressed.
Is this level of warrior sick?
Why are you staring at yourself? Although I do have amazing bones, there are many martial arts wizards in the world, right?
I am a good scholar, and I have already said that I will not become a disciple, so why do I still do this?
I was a little depressed, but I couldn't slap Yipin in the face, so Xu Qingxiao could only go there honestly, or waste some more saliva at worst.
And at this moment.
In the palace.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The empress sat on the dragon chair with a smile on her face, looking at His Highness's first-grade warrior.
She was also a little curious. As soon as Wu Ming came to Yangxin Hall, the first thing he said was to meet Xu Qingxiao.
Although she didn't know what happened, she still ordered the eunuch to invite Xu Qingxiao.
After some questioning, she learned that this first-grade warrior had a crush on Xu Qingxiao and wanted to accept him as his disciple, which made her feel relieved. It was not a bad thing anyway.
It's just that the waiting time is a bit long.
The empress thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Sir, the demon turmoil in Chen State is quite difficult. I wonder if you can take the time to go there?"
The empress respectfully addressed Wu Ming as sir, and her attitude and tone were extremely peaceful, not giving orders but asking questions.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I don't have time and can't get out."
Hearing this, Wu Ming refused directly. In fact, he had to say that he had time, but now he wanted to devote all his time to Xu Qingxiao, so he refused directly.
The Wei Dynasty should be able to solve Chen Guo's affairs. He just stepped forward to solve it as quickly as possible.
However, when he reaches this level, he cannot take action casually. It is best not to take action as much as possible.
Hearing Wu Ming's rejection, the empress didn't say anything. She just nodded without any anger. She just sighed slightly in her heart and could only think of other ways.
Now, the demon turmoil in Chen State is much more difficult than imagined. The Taishang Immortal Sect and Tai Cang Fu Sect sent people there, but it didn't have much effect. It's not that the two Immortal Sects can't do it.
But they have underestimated the demon's determination this time. They are currently sending people again, but they need to wait for a while.
This leads to things becoming increasingly troublesome and difficult.
This is the result of breaking up with Wen Gong of Wei Dynasty. If there is no breakup, there will still be monsters, but there will definitely not be so many. Otherwise, three great scholars of heaven and earth and twenty great scholars will be sent to go there in person.
All monsters and monsters can be left to die.
But in the current situation, it was natural that she could not find Zhu Sheng's lineage, which made her a little helpless.
It was at this time.
A voice sounded.
"The Marquis who put an end to the chaos has an audience."
As the sound rang out.
Xu Qingxiao's figure slowly appeared in the main hall.
"My lord, Xu Qingxiao, I have met Your Majesty."
As Xu Qingxiao's figure appeared.
The empress' first reaction was that she was a little happy, but as soon as she saw Xu Qingxiao, she inexplicably thought of Xu Qingxiao's stayover a few days ago.
Suddenly, his face became a little cold.
"Those who quell chaos will be exempted from courtesy."
When the empress opened her mouth, she did not address Xu Aiqing, but Pingluanhou. She did this deliberately to make Xu Qingxiao realize her mistake.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't react at all. She glanced at herself as usual, and then at Wu Ming.
"Xu Xiaoyou, you can now ask His Majesty who I am."
When Xu Qingxiao appeared, Wu Ming's face was full of smiles. He glanced at the empress, then turned his eyes to Xu Qingxiao and said with a smile.
Xu Qingxiao's guess was indeed correct, but Wu Ming still thought that he didn't believe him.
"senior."
"Junior believes that you are a first-class warrior in the Wei Dynasty."
"It's just that this junior really doesn't like martial arts."
Xu Qingxiao bowed to Wu Ming and said with an extremely serious attitude.
Once you say this.
Wu Ming was stunned immediately.
He really thought that Xu Qingxiao didn't believe him, so he specifically asked the empress to call him over.
But what I didn't expect was.
Xu Qingxiao did not doubt her identity.
"Xu Xiaoyou, I am a first-class warrior in the Great Wei Dynasty. If you become my disciple, the benefits will be endless."
Wu Ming really couldn't help but speak.
He is a first-class warrior, and he has never been rejected by anyone.
If an ordinary person rejects him, he won't be angry. At most, he will ignore him.
Maybe Qingxiao is different.
A flawless body.
If the Wei Dynasty only has him as the first rank, Wu Ming really doesn't care, just let Xu Qingxiao Ao go.
But the problem is that Da Wei has a second Yipin. When he wakes up and finds Xu Qingxiao, he promises to do everything possible to deceive Xu Qingxiao away.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to let the other party take Xu Qingxiao away.
You have to teach it yourself, maybe it is really possible to teach a warrior above the first level.
For him, this is a new goal and ideal in life.
Otherwise, his life would really be meaningless.
"senior."
"Xu needs to reiterate, Xu really doesn't like martial arts, so just let me go. I'm really in trouble."
Xu Qingxiao bowed to Wu Ming. His attitude was sincere and not impatient.
"First grade."
"My little friend, I am a first-class warrior."
Wu Ming once again emphasized that he is a first-class person.
"Junior knows, it's the junior's problem. Please forgive me, senior."
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
Xu Qingxiao didn't want to stay any longer and had to leave quickly. She couldn't stay with this product anyway.
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao left directly.
Wu Ming was left a little confused.
There is also an empress who doesn’t know what to say.
Good guy, you were actually rejected by a first-grade warrior as a disciple?
But in the hall, Wu Ming couldn't help but frown. He looked at Xu Qingxiao's back, really curious.
Xu Qingxiao had no reason to refuse her.
A great product, who would refuse?
But why would Xu Qingxiao refuse?
Wu Ming frowned.
After some thought.
Suddenly Wu Ming thought of the only possibility.
Xu Qingxiao practices Confucianism and is now at the fourth level. He has experienced the strength of a first-level saint and asked for the holy will, so he feels that martial arts is not as good as Confucianism.
He has never felt the power of a first-grade warrior.
After all, it is impossible for a first-class warrior to show up in Kyoto, let alone show his hand. If he really shows his hand, the entire Kyoto will be lost.
That's why he wanted to practice Confucianism and Taoism with peace of mind.
But he didn't know that his martial arts talent was stronger.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming looked at the empress and said.
"Your Majesty, is the demon rebellion happening in Chen State?"
Wu Ming's sudden question made the empress a little stunned, but she still answered quickly.
"yes."
As the empress finished answering.
Without saying a word, Wu Ming turned around and left, appearing in front of Xu Qingxiao.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao had just stepped off the ladder and was about to run out of the palace when she was suddenly pulled by Wu Ming.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised, and at the same time she was extremely speechless.
