Chapter 242 Unify the World (Part 2)
When Li Ye arrived at the Haihe Yamen Dock in Guangzhou, Liu Zhiyan, who received the notice in advance, was waiting outside the gate, but there were no one next to him. This was the result of Li Ye's special order. After seeing the ceremony, Liu Zhiyan immediately said: "The masters have gathered in the meeting hall, just waiting for His Majesty to come."
Li Ye, who was wearing a white fish and dragon suit, nodded and walked slowly in front of him, observing the current situation of the dock. Li Ye had high hopes for the Haihe Yamen and was very concerned about it on weekdays, but that was mostly because he listened to Liu Zhiyan's report on the situation. He had not been here for a long time.
The current dock is strictly impossible to call it a dock. Not to mention that the scale has long been expanded due to repeated expansions, it has long become a city connected with water villages. Just various workshops are very different from ordinary docks.
Various magic weapons are no longer powerful tools to fight enemies here, but tools in the hands of craftsmen, and their popularity is no different from hammers. Fortunately, the Tang Pu practiced the exercises for many years, and now there are so many monks, otherwise they would not be able to meet the needs of the ship city.
At present, all the craftsmen in the ship city are monks. Moreover, their cultivation level is not within the Qi training stage, and they can only do some miscellaneous tasks of transporting materials and put on hard work. Only Qi training monks can control essential magic weapons and truly create magic weapons and warships.
For example, cruisers, important components of Chang'an ships, and magic circles are only qualified and capable of participating in the real-life cultivators.
In short, with the development of the Tang Dynasty's cultivation civilization, monks are no longer worthwhile. For this country, this means a huge improvement in production capacity, a great increase in national strength, and a leapfrog progress in civilization.
When we arrived at the conference hall, there were more than a dozen masters standing in two shifts in the spacious room, with drawings on the carpet in the middle.
The order Li Ye asked for the construction of a flying warship had long been issued to the Haihe Yamen. After more than a year of hard work, Liu Zhiyan and the master craftsmen finally came up with a feasible design plan. Li Ye came to listen to this today.
After Li Ye gave up the gift from everyone, he did not sit in the main seat, but stood in front of the drawings and asked these most talented masters of the Tang Dynasty: "The relevant matters have been introduced to me. I am here today, not asking about the details, but wanting to know, to solve the current problems, what do you need me to do for you?"
The emperor said it directly, and the masters looked at each other without hesitation. Peng Zushan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to various resources, Immortal Realm monks also need the cooperation of immortal realm cultivators!
"Flying warships are different from Chang'an ships and cannot be manufactured by the standards of making magic weapons. Whether it is material refining or magic array engraving, they must be cooperated by the great monks of the Immortal Realm!"
Li Ye was not surprised by this request.
Flying warships have already left the category of magic weapons and belong to magic weapons. Just like in the technological civilization, it is impossible to build aircraft by hand. Now, the construction of flying warships by Haihe Yamen cannot rely solely on ordinary monks.
Simply put, in terms of production capacity, the great monks in the Immortal Realm of Cultivation civilization are equivalent to high-precision machinery in the scientific and technological civilization factory.
Cultivators in the Immortal Realm can also refine magic weapons, but they have always only refined weapons for personal use, and have no relevant knowledge reserves for flying warships, such as giants that require collective control of monks.
Let the immortal realm monks cooperate with the master craftsmen of the Haihe Yamen complement each other.
In Li Ye's view, the methods and levels of ordinary immortal cultivators' refining magic weapons are still very different from those of Haihe Yamen. The former is extensive, while the latter is intensive. The utilization rate of resources of the two cannot be the same, and the knowledge level required is also different.
Letting the Haihe Yamen create flying warships can save much more resources than letting the immortal realm cultivators create magic weapons, and it can also turn the limited cultivation resources in this world into more and stronger combat power.
Although immortals are immortals, they are also cultivated by mortals. They use techniques from thousands of years ago to refine magic weapons. How can they compare with the current level of manufacturing technology in the Tang Dynasty? The civilization of the Han and Tang Dynasties has been improving to this day.
"In three days, five hundred immortal realm monks will come here and obey your orders." Li Ye generously gave many immortal realm monks. If the immortal army was not fighting the west, this number would have been much higher.
Peng Zushan was immediately overjoyed and bowed excitedly on the spot, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
He originally thought that it would be a great thing to have twenty or thirty immortal realms to help. After all, the other party is an immortal, and the status of a mortal is very different. Unexpectedly, Li Ye was so generous, and he clearly stated that the immortals would still follow their orders.
"No need to thank you, this is what I should do." Li Ye waved his hand and signaled that Peng Zushan would not be flattered.
The situation outside the border is severe, and he needs the Haihe Yamen to speed up the progress. Moreover, in his eyes, the Immortal Realm is not much different from the Tang army soldiers.
Amid the stubborn thanks from everyone, Li Ye glanced at them and suddenly frowned slightly.
He turned to Liu Zhiyan, who was also very happy, and said, "I think the cultivation of the masters is basically in the real world. They are the humerus of the Haihe Yamen and the core of manufacturing magic weapons warships. If their cultivation is low, it may be disadvantageous. Later, you will go back to Chang'an with me and go to Xianyaofang to receive two bottles of 'Xianyuan Dan'."
When Liu Zhiyan heard the three words "Xianyuan Dan", he shook his shoulders.
Li Ye continued: "You and the masters took one. The talented people in the ship city will promote a group of people according to their previous achievements and reward them with one."
After a while, Liu Zhiyan and the master craftsmen came to their senses, and they all trembled and thanked each other, and were all very excited.
The Immortal Yuan Pill is an auxiliary pill to help the realm of the realm of the Immortal Realm, each pill is of extraordinary value. The entire Immortal Pharmaceutical House currently produces less than ten bottles per year. Its effect is very significant. Anyone who is a cultivator of the realm of the Yangshen Realm of the Realm of the Realm of the Yangshen can achieve the realm of the earth after taking it!
It is certainly difficult to make the Jinxian cultivator become the Daluo Golden Immortal, but to make the Yangshen True Man realm reach the local fairyland, for Li Ye now, it is just a matter of moving his fingers.
The reason why it was difficult for mortal cultivators to ascend to immortality before was that the Taoist Immortal Court deliberately controlled it to highlight its own status.
However, the barriers between immortals and mortals have not been eliminated yet, and the Kunlun law still exists. When the immortals arrive in the mortal world, their cultivation will still be suppressed, but they are always much stronger than the real person realm. When the starship of the wall faces the starship will lift the barrier of this world, the immortals and mortals will be completely integrated. At that time, there will be no barriers between immortals and mortals, and the Kunlun passages and laws will automatically disappear.
By then, there will be many more immortal cultivators under Li Ye’s command.
King Qi, Da Shao Siming, Chu Nanhuai’s master and apprentice, and others will inevitably become outstanding representatives.
As for the queen, she herself is in the Immortal Realm.
"Within a year, a flying warship will be presented to Your Majesty. If the matter is not done, I will come and see you!" Liu Zhiyan, Peng Zushan and others used the act of establishing a military order to express their sincere gratitude to Li Ye's envoy.
Leaving Haihe Yamen and returning to Chang'an, he gave Liu Zhiyan a command to ask the other party to go to Xianyaofang to extract the immortal Yuan Dan by himself. Li Ye returned to the palace city by himself. When he just entered the city gate, Li Ye received a report from the Qingyi Yamen: A riot occurred in Kaifeng City.
This made him feel very bad.
When he arrived at Hanyuan Palace, Li Ye asked Li Zhen, Cui Keli and relevant officials to come together to explain the reason for the incident.
This is the first time that the people's riots occurred in the Tang Dynasty, and it was when the Tang Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented prosperous era, and Li Ye believed that the world was peaceful and the people lived a prosperous life.
According to the Qingyi Yamen, the riot involved thousands of people. Kaifeng Yamen used violent suppression methods, but not only did hundreds of people injured, but three others died on the spot.
On the battlefield, not to mention three lives, even if the Chang'an Imperial Army died in battle, Li Ye would not frown. But in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, three people were beaten to death by officials in the street, which was a shocking case.
"My people have always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could they be in chaos this time? Let's talk, I listen, explain well." Li Ye, who was high in the imperial case, looked down at the several officials worshipping in the hall, and his eyebrows were full of majesty and danger. Even if Li Zhen and Cui Li were among them, he had no good face.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have found out that the chaos in Kaifeng people is all because of the excessive price increase in the past six months, especially the mutton in daily necessities, so many people have deep grudges. The Kaifeng Governor failed to deal with it in time, which eventually led to the people gathering in the governor's office to ask for an order."
Li Zhen was the position of a censor and had the power to supervise all officials, so he should reply first, "But the reason why the soldiers in Kaifeng Governor's Office had conflicts with the people was because the people attacked the yamen first. In order to maintain the authority of the yamen and protect themselves, the soldiers failed for a while, which caused casualties."
The Kaifeng Governor kowtowed and apologized, "I am unable to maintain local stability and deserve ten thousand deaths. Please punish me!"
Li Ye's eyes were lowered, and the cold air in his eyes was like a sword. He said coldly to the governor of Kaifeng: "Do you think your guilt is because you have failed to maintain local stability?"
The Kaifeng Governor trembled all over when he heard this, and he lay on the ground and did not dare to look up. He just kept shouting for His Majesty to forgive him.
Li Ye asked again: "Kaifeng is located in the heart of the Central Plains, with wide connections and prosperous business. However, prices have risen by 30% in half a year. Most of them are related to the basics of food and clothing, and the price of mutton has increased by nearly three times! What did you do during this period?"
The governor of Kaifeng said tremblingly: "I have explained the reasons to the people many times and are planning them in many ways, but... but they do not understand the painstaking efforts of the government. They were fine when they couldn't eat enough, but now they dare to attack the government because they lacked meat. They are really unruly..."
Seeing that the Kaifeng Governor could not say the key point, Li Zhen helped him and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, the great affairs of the dynasty have been promoting practice and expanding territory. This is why the country can have its current appearance.
"The government is not energetic about farming, so it is inevitable that it is negligent. However, Zhongzhong was not suitable for large-scale grazing of cattle and sheep. Now there are too many monks, and everyone wants to eat meat, so naturally they cannot supply it..."
After Li Zhen finished speaking, the Kaifeng Governor quickly agreed, "Yes, that's it. Now the people are thinking about practicing, making achievements, doing business and making money. Not many people have to raise cattle and sheep..."
