Xu Mochen returned to his bedroom, looking a little depressed.
Tang Derun also sighed in his heart. Normally, His Majesty has the princess, the concubine, Miss Shu, and himself as the flower of interpretation. With the addition of a new princess, he shouldn't be so depressed.
"Your Majesty," he decided to comfort him, "the princess has just been resurrected, so it is inevitable that she will be a little confused. It is reasonable to ask her to sort it out. If your Majesty needs it, the minister can transform..."
It was easy for him to become Gu Jinge.
"Thank you for your hard work, dear," Xu Mochen didn't pay attention to what he said, "I just feel that I owe Jin Ge a lot. A good person has now become an immortal cultivator."
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun advised, "that's the last resort, and it's better than just wiping out the damage.
Besides, Your Majesty has now entered the immortal realm, maybe this is fate."
The words made sense, Xu Mochen sighed, and now he could only wait for Gu Jinge to slowly accept it.
He definitely helped Gu Jinge out of guilt and had no evil intentions.
"It's just your Majesty," Tang Derun still reminded him with all his heart. "The princess is, after all, a member of the royal family of the former Southern Wei Kingdom. Due to the recent investigation, the courtiers are very unhappy with your Majesty.
Once they know that the princess is in the harem, they may be disadvantageous to the princess."
This was what Xu Mochen was worried about. He nodded: "I know, and I will find a way to keep Jin Ge in the harem upright."
Tang Derun bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."
Prime Minister's Mansion.
A group of courtiers were there, all anxious and anxious.
"Sir, why do you agree to your majesty's request so easily regarding Ningzhou?"
"Even if the Queen Mother comes forward, we still have to remonstrate."
"It's just taking back three departments. What's wrong? Do you really think we are afraid of it?"
"From ancient times to the present, the emperor has always been just a decoration for our use. How can we compromise so easily now?"
All the noise is opinions.
The Prime Minister was not in a hurry. He signaled everyone to calm down: "You also said that this is a rule from ancient times to the present. Since it is a rule, it can always be changed.
When spiritual energy was abundant back then, did Shifang World ever think about being in such close contact with the human race?
After the reform and opening up, we have not shared human resources and refined Qi from their beliefs in food and incense."
These words blocked everyone's mouths.
"This decision is the result of discussions between the Mo League and the world in all directions," the prime minister blew the tea, "You can also go back and ask your own sect."
"Sir," someone came forward, "the sect has informed us, but we think that the sect actually does not understand some of the details of the human race and made a wrong choice and judgment.
Opening up trade and encouraging private commerce is against national policy."
"Do you think I don't know?" The Prime Minister sneered, "Do you think you are the only smart ones?
These ten worlds have all discussed it. Now that even basic food and housing are a problem for the human race, what tricks can Merchant do?
Now we follow His Majesty's wishes and use Ningzhou as a special zone experiment. His Majesty made the decree.
If it unfolds smoothly and the human race has sufficient resources, we will naturally benefit.
If it fails, it will be His Majesty's responsibility. When the time comes, he will be forced to issue an edict to punish himself, and if the national destiny is shaken, we will have no loss."
Everyone suddenly realized that they were well prepared.
So everyone bowed together: "Your Excellency is wise!"
"Some of what Your Majesty said makes sense," the Prime Minister warned. "You are also courtiers after all, and you should not be held in check by Your Majesty. It will be difficult to save you.
If you really want to do it, then involve His Majesty’s harem. Isn’t there a princess there recently?”
Everyone said yes.
The Prime Minister waved his hand and these people dispersed like birds and beasts.
After they left, the prime minister turned gloomy and threw the teacup on the table.
He recalled what his senior brother said at the end when he returned to the Mexican League headquarters.
"Junior brother, vague news has been revealed from the Yunshang Realm. It seems that someone has interfered with the secret of heaven in order to block the changes in heaven.
This matter can be big or small. If the way of heaven changes, everything will become a pawn.
There is another problem with the emperor on your side, so you must take precautions.
However, when the truth is not clear, everything must be stable and the Emperor Daqian must be appeased.
As for what you are worried about, if the emperor enters immortality, these are not big problems.
When necessary, you can erase it at any time."
It's ridiculous that the courtiers thought things would always stick to the rules.
I just don’t know whether the emperor’s cultivation of immortality is allowed by heaven or whether he is escaping from the rules.
Or maybe someone is going against nature?
The Prime Minister fell into deep thought. Sometimes, he has to leave some escape route for himself...
Xu Mochen didn't know any of this. He, Shen Zhining and his team came to the National Research Institute again.
After the last attack on Tan Shuyi, Xu Mochen strengthened the security of the National Research Institute. In addition to the embroidery envoys, he also added people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
If there are more people in the human race, the immortal cultivators will be somewhat wary.
When he came to the hall and sat down, Zhao Lingbo first took out a pile of medicines and showed them to him.
"Recently, the research on new drugs has been going more and more smoothly," Zhao Lingbo introduced. "Empress Xianfei gave us a lot of information, and we have gradually developed it."
Xu Mochen looked at the small bottles, some of which were filled with powder, some with granules, and some with pills. He was satisfied: "How is the sales volume?"
"Not bad," Zhao Lingbo smiled, "At the beginning, it was very difficult to promote it because it was different.
But gradually, some people started taking it and after their illness was cured, word-of-mouth grew.
In addition, with the development of research, the production cost is also very low, even more affordable than medicinal herbs."
Xu Mochen frowned: "Would that affect Chinese medicine?"
"There is definitely an impact," Zhang Tongyuan stepped forward to report. "Actually, during this period, drugstore merchants in Beijing have approached us many times, saying that they can no longer sell medicinal herbs because of us."
"New ideas need to be followed," Xu Mochen frowned, "Now we still have money in hand."
"Yes," Zhao Lingbo took out the account book and looked at it. "There is still some surplus, but the expenses are not small."
"Traditional drug store merchants cannot fight against bankruptcy," Xu Mochen thought, "Zhang Yuanzhi and Li Yuanxian, you must develop the field of Chinese patent medicine as soon as possible. From now on, in the name of the country, medicinal materials will be purchased from drug store channels for production."
Zhang Tongyuan and Li Wenhong took note of it.
"Over at Yuhuatai, another batch of injection needles were delivered," Zhao Lingbo handed over the finished products, "I compared them and found that the precision has improved a lot."
At present, the development of medicine is considered stable.
His eyes fell on Fang Minghang and Fang Mingying's brother and sister.
Fang Minghang stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the large parts of the generator we mentioned last time have been poured, but the material has not yet reached the level of steel."
This was something that was expected. Xu Mochen stood up and said, "Take me over first to have a look."
