Chapter 228 The prime minister survives for the people, and the immortal becomes prime minister again

Inside the Zhongshu Mansion.

The ministers who have just experienced the bombing always have a bit of sadness in their eyes. They are gorgeously dressed, sitting upright or crossing their legs, sipping tea, leaning back in their chairs and closing their eyes to rest. Most of them are swallowing clouds.

Breathing mist.

It's as if the smoke can cover their sorrows and the nicotine can numb their worries.

The spiritual energy filled the entire room along with the smoke, and the incense made from spiritual objects quietly penetrated into the nostrils. The whole body was enjoying rehabilitation treatment that was far beyond the reach of modern medical treatment.

"Yao Wang Valley and Bai Lian Sect have also begun to quarrel. The orders they placed last year, whether it was elixirs or magic weapons, were only half handed in this year. Many casual cultivators who had not come forward in the first place have begun to jump out. If this continues, there may be chaos.

."

"Some people use hard knives, while others use soft knives. They are attacked both internally and externally. Either the fish is dead or the net is turned upside down, or the consequences are endless after compromise."

". They want spiritual veins. I don't think they can't be given. It's better to give them spiritual veins than to let them continue to make trouble. If you give them a few small spiritual veins, the output of Huangpin spiritual veins is only 1,800 kilograms, which is not enough for a state monk.

Food and clothing.”

"Give? Give him a spiritual vein today, and who will you give a spiritual vein to tomorrow?"

".Spiritual veins are divided into four grades, heaven and earth, black and yellow, and the yellow grade is the last. The monthly output of spiritual stones is more than a hundred kilograms, which is not enough for a city's monks. And I have more than a hundred such spiritual veins in Da Zhou.

It’s enough for them to share.”

".You can set up an association and include all low-grade spiritual veins and let them fight for it on their own. If there is a problem in the future, we can let them contribute. Why not?"

".It makes sense."

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not smoke like the others, and he could not help but smile slightly when listening to the discussion.

Continuous negotiation and contact are effective. Many things in the world are the result of mutual concessions. Those people no longer kill but hurt others, and the people here have begun to regress.

If the sect kills people, it will open the ceiling, but if the army surrounds the mountain and seals the temple, it will not open the ceiling.

In fact, the temple will not suffer any loss, and it is even possible to bring these mountain monks into the system to check and balance the growing power of the Shangqing Palace. It is not necessarily for the so-called control of the monks, at least the government can still

There is a path to follow, even if it is small and narrow.

What people fear most is walking down a dark road.

There are only two ways to go. One is to ask the town and state level and let Taoist Qingxuan suppress it. Even if the matter ends up getting bigger, you can also ask the town and state level in other areas to come to help. Qi Di is

Being connected to the Zhou Dynasty, traveling between the two places only takes an instant.

But this path will intensify dependence on the town-state level.

Qingxuan Taoist people have noble moral character and will not harm the country or the people, but that does not mean that the government should hand over power honestly.

Another way to compromise among the casual cultivators, the safest way is to set up an association and let them fight for those low-grade spiritual veins on their own. But this is undoubtedly opening a hole, and it is no less than privatizing the land.

To put it bluntly, you are reluctant to be cut off. Who is willing to work hard when life is rich? Those spiritual veins that are finally taken out have to be deducted from the people. Although spiritual stones are not linked to currency, they have already occupied an extremely important role in society invisibly.

Status, many of the medicines on the market that are known as miracle medicines are made from spiritual stones.

The money for mining spiritual stones is a tax paid by the people, and the people who mine spiritual stones are the children of the people.

"No."

Prime Minister Pan Jun's voice was rich and clear, echoing throughout the room, faintly shaking away the lingering smoke.

Everyone looked up at the throne, looking at Prime Minister Pan Jun, who usually spoke little and was very good at checking and balancing. There were many differences in his eyes, and they didn't know why the other party suddenly said this.

"... Prime Minister, this is not an option. One day we will be unable to suppress you. When the Immortal does not take action, compromise is the best option."

".If we don't ask the immortals to take action, those people will ruin his reputation."

"Haha, it's up to others whether they can use it or not. The exercises were originally meant for their parents, and we want to come over to promote them. Now if something goes wrong and we blame someone else, isn't that asking for death?"

Everyone tried to persuade him one after another, and even began to discuss whether the immortal should take action.

"No." Prime Minister Pan Jun repeated it again, his narrowed eyes slightly opened, and his voice was firm and deep:

"China belongs to the people, the land belongs to the people, and the spiritual veins belong to the people. Who dares to give it to them? Just because they killed hundreds of people, how many people died in the world when they killed the princes. Were our ancestors afraid? Ah!

"

Everyone's words were choked in their throats, and no one dared to answer for a while. The last sound shocked everyone like thunder, and their bodies trembled suddenly.

Prime Minister Pan Jun, who had kept a low profile for many years, seemed to be reincarnated today, and his movements were full of vigor. His voice slowed down slightly, and his tone became richer and deeper, like a male lion.

"There are a total of 168 lower-grade spiritual veins in Zhou Dynasty, with an annual output of more than 20,000 kilograms of spiritual stones, which is enough to train twenty foundation-building monks and thousands of Qi-refining monks. And practice can complement oneself. Tens of millions of disabled people in my Zhou Dynasty

, deaf-mute people, who are naturally weak, who would give them spiritual stones to supplement themselves? The spiritual stone consumed by a Peiyuan Pill is 100 grams, and one such pill can save lives, and one spiritual vein can save lives in a month.

Save 10,000 people.”

"We must not only promote the practice, but also not kill people, and we also need someone to help us take the blame. How can there be such a good thing in the world? What are you doing sitting in this position?"

He asked three questions in succession: first about the foundation of the country, then about the people of the world, and finally about the responsibilities. Everyone was stunned from the beginning to speechless. For a while, no one dared to look up and look directly at this prime minister who had few plans and few decisions.

I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the Prime Minister today. It was the first time in the past few years that I saw Pan Jun, who always had a kind smile, get angry.

In my impression, this prime minister was promoted by the previous prime minister. He did not have much foundation or backing. Although he had the position of prime minister, he did not have the power of prime minister. The outside world even jokingly called him the bench prime minister because he would sit on the bench during meetings.

He said nothing. Perhaps his greatest achievement was that he suppressed the main war faction back then and did not completely fall out with the reincarnation, but adopted a soft policy.

So he got the reputation of the Lord of the City Guard, but it was still not majestic enough.

It is not enough for a local leader to be simply kind, especially in this turbulent era, people are more eager for a leader who is as iron-blooded as a flying general.

Prime Minister Pan Jun stood up slowly, like a giant dragon waking up from his sleep. His calloused and wrinkled hands suddenly fell down and hit the sandalwood with a thud, not caring about the blood splashing.

"I'm angry that 165 citizens died tragically and we knew the perpetrators but didn't dare to bring them to justice."

Boom!

On the second drop, the finger appeared a little red.

"I am very angry. Parents and officials in the world dare not fight for their people's study."

Practice is like opening people's wisdom, practice is like studying, and practice is like liberating the mind.

The public practice method is to make all people literate and enlightened, so that knowledge is no longer the privilege of scholars.

Prime Minister Pan Jun thought so. He raised his right hand high as if in salute, and then suddenly dropped it. The blue and white porcelain worth thousands of gold on the table shook, accompanied by their violent heartbeats.

"The people of China will always enjoy the sacred and inviolable territorial rights of China. This is what our fathers and our ancestors fought for 100 years ago. The people of China enjoy the right to use the spiritual energy of China and the ownership of the spiritual veins of China. This is ten years.

We fought for it with our peers."

"Please remember, please remember, we can die, but we cannot surrender. We can give up benefits to the people, but we cannot give up benefits because the people are killed. They were murdered, and those who murdered them must

Bring him to justice!”

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The room fell into complete silence, with only one male lion standing straight and looking around at everyone. No one dared to look at Prime Minister Pan Jun. They were silent, they were afraid, and they were still weighing the pros and cons.

He exhaled slowly, his voice no longer as high as before, only calm, unquestionable calm remained.

"The Ministry of War orders all armies to enter a state of first-level combat readiness, orders all monks to enter a wartime state, and orders all nuclear warheads to enter silos. Continue to vigorously promote the public practice method, promote the rehabilitation plan for the disabled, and promote the inclusion of spiritual stone elixirs in the medical insurance plan.

All the spiritual stones previously promised to them will be cancelled, and put into people's livelihood and civilian use."

Everyone was suddenly startled, and finally raised their heads, looking at the Prime Minister with astonishment on their faces.

This is no longer a delaying tactic, but is determined to make enemies of the reincarnations all over the world. Isn't he afraid of death? Those reincarnations are not timid people, and each of them has a lot of lives on their hands.

And forcing them will only lead to crazy attacks and killings in the end. None of the prime ministers who advocated the red line of spiritual veins survived. That's why they are so afraid. These people are not ordinary people and can be manipulated at will.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid they will continue to kill people like this." Yang Lichuan, Minister of War, said. "If you push them into a hurry, it may cause chaos. With our current power at the monk level, even with the cooperation of the Shangqing Palace, it will be difficult to control the situation."

"I will bear all the responsibilities." Prime Minister Pan Jun has never been so tough, and he has never been so straight-backed.

"Whoever's territory has a dead person, he will be ordered to search for his soul. If he resists the order, he will be arrested. If he resists arrest, he will be killed."

"But."

"I am the prime minister and this is an order."

The two looked at each other for three seconds. Yang Lichuan, Minister of War, finally stood at attention out of his duty as a soldier, straightened his back and saluted.

"yes!"

The Minister of War strode out of the conference room, leaving everyone else stunned, as if they had been suddenly attacked before. Everything developed too fast, and everything was beyond everyone's expectation and control.

Last time someone secretly added fuel to the fire, but this time it was the prime minister who took the knife without permission.

His attitude is tough, his words are iron-blooded, and Xiaozhi uses reason to move his emotions, making it impossible for anyone to refute.

"Hubu, how many spiritual stones are there in the treasury?"

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not give up, but turned his attention to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. Just one look made him sit up straight.

The Minister of Household Affairs replied respectfully: "There are still 100,000 catties."

"Put 60,000 into the Jiuding." Prime Minister Pan Jun said in a light tone, as if he was throwing not a spiritual stone but a pile of sand.

All? The Minister of Household Affairs was stunned. Half of the spirit stones were taken out. Industries related to spirit stones will reduce production and suspend production. I am afraid that by then there may be a shortage of spirit stones used to supply monks for practice. Those in the medical industry

Not to mention the elixirs, which are basically going to be discontinued.
