After Yao Yun finished speaking, he unknowingly recalled the past in his mind. He couldn't get rid of the satisfaction and happiness that food brought him in that era of material scarcity.
If Cang Man was here, he would have shouted "Well said, Your Majesty!", and then there would be thunderous applause, with one person supporting an army, and there was a thumping sound.
Although everyone in the hall was not as brainless as Cang Man, they all nodded in praise and thoughtfully, savoring Yao Yun's words "The best thing in the world is happiness" in their minds.
Taking a closer look, I feel more and more what Yao Yun said makes sense.
Only those who yearn for beauty and pursue happiness can make delicious food in the world!
Liusu thought of the days when he first came to Xidu, wandered around the bustling world, and finally met, recognized, and fell in love with the king. A happy smile appeared on his lips: "The king said it well, happiness is the most delicious and fascinating thing in the world.
thing."
The second elder Wu Tong and the Bald Dragon had a somewhat different mood. They thought of the time when the country of Xi was poor and destitute, but now it has a strong army and strong horses, a rich country and a strong people. The people live and work in peace and contentment and pursue happiness. They are very satisfied in their hearts. They are more satisfied than the nectar and jade liquid.
Get them hooked.
The second elder Wu Tong nodded and sighed: "What the king is saying is that in my opinion, not only the best taste in the world is happiness, but the best taste in the world is also happiness."
The ten Nuwa Empresses seemed to understand but subconsciously, they all thought that what Yao Yun said was very reasonable and had a sense of ritual.
After finishing speaking, an envoy soon came to the hall, braised spring bamboo shoots, white-cut chicken, twice-cooked pork... delicacies were brought out like running water.
Thinking that the delicacies on the table carry the happiness of the people of Xidu, when the ten empresses tasted each delicacy, their minds were filled with imaginations of the happiness of mortals.
When the sumptuous banquet was over and there was no need for Yao Yun to persuade them to stay, the ten Wachang Empresses never mentioned leaving, claiming that they wanted to eat all the delicacies of the Xi Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, although I am staying in Xiguo, I will wait here for Wen Ruyu."
"Good! Thank you Marquis Xiyun for the hospitality."
When Yao Yun and the second elder Wu Tong heard this, they all smiled knowingly. Xiguo has a wide variety of delicacies, and they can eat them every day without getting tired of them. When the ten Wachang Empresses develop their tastes, Xiguo will become her mother's family from now on.
After the banquet, the ten Nuwa Empresses officially settled in the Wahuang Temple in Xi Kingdom. After getting to know Xidu, they seemed to be more interested in going to Xidu City to find delicious food. Knowing this, Yao Yun asked someone to
The ladies sent money for their daily consumption.
The ten Wachang empresses were very satisfied with the warm reception of Yao Yun, the landowner, and praised them repeatedly. The empresses would not eat for free. The ten empresses made a promise in unison that Yao Yun would come to them if he encounters difficulties in the future.
He would be a fool not to hug his thighs. Yao Yun had a bad stomach and couldn't eat hard food, so he naturally thanked him happily.
Although the Wachang Empresses are not strong in magical abilities, they have a high status and no one dares to offend them. Having them in charge of the Xi Kingdom brings many invisible benefits.
The most important thing is that it is easy to feed, as long as you have enough food, let alone a goddess, even if you want to support an ordinary woman, you still have to have a house, a field, and cattle...
...
After the ladies lived in Wachang, Yao Yun did not interfere much in their lives. He just asked Liusu to take the young master Heng to get closer to the ladies and form a good relationship, while he himself devoted himself to government affairs.
The plan for the year begins in spring, and spring plowing is the top priority. In previous years, there was no need to rush to cultivate seedlings. But this time, because of the availability of early rice [paste rice], double-cropping rice must be planted. The entire 100 acres of experimental fields along the Chishui River were planted early.
Get busy.
Yao Yun inspected the field for a while and saw the slaves working hard and with high enthusiasm. Yao Yun was very satisfied and asked the slaves to work hard and strive to escape from slavery as soon as possible.
Because thousands of slaves in the Xi Kingdom were freed from slavery and lived a good life, Yao Yun's encouragement greatly benefited the slaves. They all worked hard and sweated like chicken blood, and many of them were dark-skinned.
The man's cloudy eyes were full of joy and excitement.
Yao Yun walked on the ridge of the field, and the slaves covered their heads one by one and worked hard. Only when Yao Yun walked far away did the slaves look at him secretly, full of respect, and then showed off to their companions that they had seen the true face of the king.
In the fields, there are not only slaves working, but also overseers who supervise the slaves' work. What they hold in their hands is not a whip, but an account book, recording the slaves' labor every day.
The overseers recorded the labor of the slaves, and to some extent controlled the life and death of the slaves. Whether the slaves could be promoted to common people was in their hands. In this case, corruption could easily breed, which would have a great impact on Yao.
The policy of cloud slave reform has had serious negative impacts.
Therefore, Yao Yun came not only to inspect the slaves' work, but also to inspect the small overseers.
Although the small magical power [Knowing People with Intelligent Eyes] cannot keep up with Yao Yun's strength and is gradually useless, if it is used to deal with low-level officials, it will be a sure thing.
In the past two years, Yao Yun has taken down many minor officials who committed crimes. After cleaning up the rules, the situation has improved a lot. At least when Yao Yun and his group walked around, Yao Yun did not find any of the supervisors and minor officials to be guilty or show their flaws.
Of course, Yao Yun's small magical power [recognizing people with a keen eye] is not omnipotent. He can know people's faces but not their hearts. The magical power is tangible, and people's hearts are changeable. No one can understand people's hearts.
Last winter, the second elder Wu Tong successfully took out the magical power [Li Zhu Zhiming] from the sacred bird Li Yu Yuan Shen. After Yao Yun practiced it, he only had good eyesight. When he used his magical power, he could see scenes dozens of miles away.
, but it is still far away from the legendary realm of knowing the cause and effect of time and space.
After returning from his inspection in the fields, Yao Yun went to Tianwen College to see how the cultivation of [Glazed Rice Seeds] was going.
Hanbao Empress only brought back a bag of gypsum rice seeds from the wilderness overseas. If she wanted to plant hundreds of acres of gypsum rice, she would need several gypsum rice seeds.
In this case, one can only have the luxury of ordering people to use secret techniques to generate seeds and use the seeds to cultivate more seeds.
Regardless of Yao Yun, it is easy for Second Elder Wu Tong and others to use secret techniques to generate rice seeds. In fact, this is a skill that only high-level Qi practitioners have, and ordinary Tianwen disciples simply cannot do it.
There are a lot of gypsum rice seeds needed at the moment. In this case, we can only find another way and use rune formations to generate rice in large quantities.
This rune formation is called [Qingdi Nurturing Formation], which Yao Yun learned from [Mu Deqingdi Book].
Arriving at a secret cave in Tianwen Academy and seeing Jiang He, Yao Yun asked: "How is the arrangement of the [Qingdi Education Array] going?"
"Your Majesty, the formation layout is complete." Jiang He respectfully replied, then thought for a moment, why: "Your Majesty, although this [Qingdi Educational Array] has fine jade elements as the array plate, but I want to
It is extremely difficult to activate this formation, and at least several fifth-level Qi Refiners are required to take action, my lord..."
When Yao Yun heard this, he didn't care and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll just call Uncle Long over now and the God of Protection of the Country will take action. There should be no problem."
Jiang He smiled: "Of course there is no problem."
Not long after, the bald-headed dragon came in a flash, his face full of joy. As soon as he entered the cave, he shouted: "Your Majesty, where can we eat stingrays? Where can we eat them?"
Yao Yun smiled slightly, holding the core of the jade element formation in his hand, and said: "Uncle Long, if you activate this great formation, there will be stingrays to eat from now on!"
The bald dragon was stunned, looked at Yao Yun with a strange look, and carefully tested: "Seriously?"
