Chapter 1959 Li Er’s changes
He was more interested in the fact that there was a piece of land at the end of the sea, which was somewhat difficult for him to understand.
At the end of the sea, shouldn't that be the residence of the gods?
Putting down the tea cup, waving his hand, interrupting Fang Jun's "speech", he asked with bright eyes: "Since you have crossed the sea, have you ever discovered the legendary three fairy mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou?"
< br>
Fang Jun: "..."
We've been talking about feelings for a long time, but you're only thinking about this?
This emperor seems to be quite shrewd. Could it be that once the power in the world has reached its limit, no matter who it is, they will long for the illusory road to immortality and sainthood?
Depressedly said: "No!"
His Majesty Li Er did not believe it: "Those three fairy mountains have been recorded in countless classics, and they are definitely not fictions. Since the fleet you sent crossed the ocean, how could it not be discovered? Hum, or Ru Yin Hiding the truth about the discovery of the Immortal Mountain, lest I indulge in the way of cultivating immortals, or you are just telling nonsense. The fleet has never crossed the ocean, and the so-called New World is just nonsense..."
He knew that Fang Jun had always opposed his cultivation of Taoism and immortality, and his fierce opposition was actually the highest in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty. He asserted that those were just deceptive techniques spread by false rumors, and that there were no gods in the world. Therefore, if Fang Jun really discovered the three immortal mountains, It is entirely possible to conceal it and not report it.
With this thought in his mind, a pair of tiger eyes gradually narrowed, staring at Fang Jun with an unkind look.
As an emperor, he holds the supreme power in the world. Apart from making great achievements and becoming the "Eternal Emperor", he has almost no other pursuits. Since he has become the supreme being in the world, it means that he is the proud son of the emperor who is destined by heaven. He is the person closest to the immortal Buddha in the world. As long as he finds the way and takes one step, he can transcend the secular world and become an immortal and a saint. Heaven and earth are immortal together!
If this kid dares to lie to himself... His Majesty Li Er feels that this is an even more unforgivable thing than conspiracy and rebellion.
The soil of the New World is fertile and the territory is vast. There are high-yield grains all over the mountains and plains. There are endless gold and silver all over the rivers and ridges. There are no gods riding cranes, no fairy dew, no Ganoderma jelly, only sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and peppers. ...Listen to what these names are, they are so boring, but where is the slightest bit of fairy spirit?
The most unbearable thing is that not only are there no gods, but there are also primitive aborigines wearing bark, with bird feathers on their heads, and using sticks and stones as weapons...
Mother!
Are you trying to smash the best longing in my heart to pieces with a stick?
Being stared at by the emperor with such murderous eyes, Fang Jun's heart trembled. Sure enough, the way of the gods is the reverse scale that all emperors cannot touch...
Fang Jun sighed, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, not to mention that Wei Chen does not have the courage to deceive the emperor, it is possible that Wei Chen is making nonsense. Those grain seeds that definitely do not belong to any part of the Tang Dynasty have been stolen by Wei Chen. The ministers are piled up in the greenhouse of Lishan Farm, so it can’t be fake, right?”
His Majesty Li Er stared at Fang Jun suspiciously, trying to find some clues from his expression.
But he was destined to be disappointed... Or Fang Jun really didn't lie to him, nor did he hide the fact that there was no fairy mountain on the sea.
Is it possible that there are really no three fairy mountains in the sea?
So where do the gods live?
His Majesty Li Er felt a little disappointed. As a proud son of heaven and an emperor on earth, he was so sincere in seeking immortality. Why could he not be favored by the immortal family and given the art of becoming an immortal?
If you cannot become an immortal or a saint, even if you are more successful than the Three Emperors and surpass the Five Emperors in virtue, you will eventually die with the grass and trees. How can you show that you are extraordinary?
Is it possible that the so-called emperor is not the son of God at all, and the so-called Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the so-called Sakyamuni are all nothing?
It's a little hard for him to understand, and even harder to accept... He doesn't even care anymore when he hears that there is gold and silver all over the New World. A warehouse full of gold and silver is no more than external possessions. A vast mansion with ten thousand rooms can only sleep three feet apart. How can it compare to becoming an immortal and becoming a saint with the sun and the moon? Tonghui, immortality with heaven and earth?
Sighing, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand dejectedly: "Since we have never discovered the overseas fairy mountains, then why are you running to the palace? Are you causing trouble for me? Get out of here, I'm bored just looking at you!"
< br>
Fang Jun glared, "God damn overseas fairy mountain, aren't we reporting to you that we have obtained high-yielding grain?" Come on, look at the emperor's depressed and lost expression. Either he doesn't believe it at all, or he thinks he is talking nonsense. Anyway, he doesn't take it seriously at all...
I feel extremely depressed.
But he can't leave yet. As long as the food is cultivated by himself, no matter how much His Majesty Li Er doesn't believe it at the moment, he will eventually realize what development opportunities the Tang Dynasty will get, how the people of the Tang Dynasty will sing their praises, and how this will be recorded in history. A great feat, and how he, the emperor, was favored by God!
But I must now win rewards for those soldiers who explore the ocean!
"Your Majesty clearly knows that those soldiers crossed the ocean by boat and endured countless hardships and dangers, and finally opened up a route to the New World for the Tang Dynasty. Not only did they obtain high-yield food that was enough to feed the people of the Tang Dynasty, but they were also able to continuously dispatch war fighters in the future. ship to get countless It is no exaggeration to say that such meritorious deeds such as gold and silver mines are shocking in ancient times and today! Your Majesty, please extend your kindness and reward us to show your achievements. This will not only reward those who have made meritorious deeds, but also encourage those who come after you to follow the example of brave men. Keep on the journey of exploring the world! ”
Those naval soldiers must be rewarded. How can they demonstrate their merits if they are not rewarded? And he must be rewarded heavily, with thousands of gold to buy horse bones, and make everyone in the world jealous, so that he can follow his example of not fearing the ocean and continue to explore new worlds.
His Majesty Li Er is not very concerned about this...
He was wholeheartedly immersed in the state of mind of cultivating Taoism and immortality, and thought that Fang Jun was exaggerating. The seeds he obtained might have a high yield, but how could they feed the people of the entire Tang Dynasty?
Haha...
Of all the anecdotes of the ages, none is more absurd than this.
Do you think you are Shennong? !
He stared at Fang Jun with an unkind look and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but ask yourself, do you believe what you say? How much food do tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty consume every year? At present, the country is In Tang Dynasty, most of the fertile farmland has been However, all the land has been developed and cultivated, leaving only the smoggy land such as Lingnan, Fujian and Guangdong, which is also full of mountains and few fields. How dare you speak so brazenly in front of me, saying that it is enough to feed all the people of the Tang Dynasty... Why don't you say that you Can you go to heaven? ”
Fang Jun: "..."
Well, without a picture or truth, this matter does sound a bit bizarre.
I have no choice but to say: "Facts speak louder than words. Next, I will cultivate high-yielding plants in the Lishan greenhouse. In just next year, these food crops will be cultivated. What will be the yield by then? Your Majesty Just take a look for yourself! At present, those soldiers who traveled across the sea to explore high-yield food for the Tang Dynasty are covered with scars. Many of them were buried in the sea with no bones left, and many of them were disabled for life and could not support themselves. I hope that your majesty will reward you to calm the hearts of brave men!"
His Majesty Li Er thought that he was trying to gain credit for his own men, so he waved his hand casually and said listlessly: "I have some merit, but if I want to issue a decree to commend him, it would be too much. It is within the authority and responsibility of the Ministry of War. , you can make your own decisions about power promotion and Lordship promotion.”
Fang Jun: "...here."
He was both extremely depressed and incredible.
Even though the high yield of food is a bit unbelievable, isn't exploring a new continent a very exciting thing for an emperor with lofty ambitions?
That means more territory, more people, and more achievements!
However, looking at His Majesty Li Er in front of him, he seems not to care about any of this... Aren't those soldiers who have risked their lives for the empire and achieved feats that shocked the past and the present not worthy of your imperial edict?
Feeling really aggrieved, Fang Jun looked calm and saluted, "In that case... I will leave for now."
"Well, go ahead."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand casually and did not notice any difference in Fang Jun's expression.
Fang Jun took three steps back, turned around, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw a chamberlain coming in from the door, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Huo wishes to see you."
His Majesty Li Er said with thick eyebrows: "Huh? King Huo is not in Xuzhou, why did he come back to Chang'an? Proclaim!"
"Here!"
The waiter bowed and exited, but Fang Jun did not stop and followed him out.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he walked across from a tall, thin young man in brocade robes with a pale face. Fang Jun looked at him, bowed slightly and stepped aside, and whispered: "Wei Chen has met His Highness King Huo."
He just looked familiar. After all, he had been to the fiefdom for many years. He had only met him before he traveled through time. He had some vague impressions in his memory. However, if he hadn't met here and now, and without the knowledge of the previous chamberlain, he would definitely recognize him. Not out.
After all, he is a royal nobleman, so greeting him is a must.
Unexpectedly, when King Huo came to him, he did not go straight into the Dragon Palace, but stopped and said in a rather unkind tone: "I heard that in Chang'an right now, the minister of the house is acting rampantly, and even the high-ranking saint Youlong , do you feel that you can’t let go of this Guanzhong? ”
"Huh?" Fang Jun looked confused. What's going on?
