Chapter 640 Be a Happy Little Turtle

After a while, Xia Qingqing helped Li Xian up, "How is it? It's time."

"It's much better." Li Xian gently hugged Xia Qingqing, and didn't have time to wash it normally, so he hurried to the hall after cleaning with a few small spells.

In the main hall, all the officials had arrived long ago, and they were waiting for Li Xian. During this period of time, the Kingdom of Shang was extremely busy, and every day was a big court meeting.

Li Xian sat down, and Wang Cong called out next to him, and Xu Ren immediately stood up, "I want to tell King Xian, recently, people have written letters one after another, requesting to expand the city lord's mansion into a palace. Xu Ren sorted out more than 30,000 requests last night.

Today, the Shang Kingdom is stable enough that we have enough financial resources to build a new palace.

The royal palace is the expression of a country and the expression of political maturity.

The royal palace is also a representative, a representative of the prosperity of the country.

The royal palace is an example. A royal palace that conforms to national conditions and national policies can become a spiritual symbol of the people and arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

Ask the virtuous king to order to expand the palace. "

Xu Ren's sudden proposal stunned all the officials—although everyone wanted to talk about expanding the palace, no one dared to open it. Expanding the palace is not a simple sentence, it is a major political event!

Location, size range, style and features are all the top priorities; what's more, the national conditions of the Shang Kingdom have added countless difficulties to the construction of the palace.

What's more, Li Xian never revealed a word, which made Baiguan dare not speak. Generally, when other countries want to expand the imperial capital, or establish a companion capital, etc., the king will always talk a little bit.

For example: Hey, the hall seems a bit short;

For example: last night the sparrows in the common people's house flew into the palace...

and so on. Then all the officials will "suddenly realize", oh, the king's palace is too small.

But Li Xian never revealed such a tone, not even a little bit of expression, which made the officials dare not speak indiscriminately.

It should be said that the folks have indeed had such voices for a long time, but no one dared to convey them. Don't think Li Xian doesn't care much, but a king is a king, who dares to mess around.

Unexpectedly, without any warning this time, Xu Ren actually proposed to expand the palace.

Under everyone's attention, Li Xian did not refuse immediately, but after thinking about it for a while, Li Xiancai pretended to say: "Nowadays, there is a lot of waste in the country, and there are still countless people who are hungry. Let's postpone the matter of the palace for now." .”

Huh? The officials immediately sensed that it was a postponement, not a refusal; also, Li Xian specifically mentioned the common people, not the state treasury.

Those who can be ranked in the imperial class are always extremely intelligent. Several officials looked at each other and immediately understood.

Later, Xu Ren mentioned the envoys from various countries in the center of Yingzhou who had come.

"Let them visit the country for half a month first." Li Xian said naturally. It is almost the practice of the Kingdom of Shang to let the mission visit for half a month before negotiating. If they just talk about it, the two sides will have nothing to talk about. After all, Shang Kingdom is too special.

Xu Ren retreated, and Li Yuanming stepped forward, "Xian Wang, the dual-channel railway between Wuya Mountain and Wuya Mountain was officially completed in the early morning. According to the plan, a large number of engineering teams will go to Yuanci Residual Mine today to start digging."

Li Xian immediately said: "Excavate regardless of the cost, dig all the ore back. Pile up behind Qingyun Valley.

Fang Shijing, you prepare an open space behind Qingyun Valley, which can hold the ore of the entire Yuanci vein. It is expected that there will be two hill positions. "

"It has been prepared a long time ago. The railway has already been connected. The relevant loading machinery, refining and screening equipment have been prepared in advance."

Li Xian immediately stopped: "Don't refine the Yuanci remnant ore. We can't let the Yaozu know about this. We have to wait until the entire Yuanci remnant ore vein is hollowed out. The most urgent task is to concentrate all efforts to excavate the Yuanci remnant ore vein. .

Regarding the Nascent Soul stage armor set for the Yaozu, half of it will be delivered first, and the rest will be paid after the Yuanmagnetic residual ore is emptied, so as to prevent the Yaozu from repeating. "

"Yes." Fang Shijing withdrew.

Liu Leigang came out again, "Your Majesty, during the process of bidding for the construction of the main artery, some companies want to invest in the main artery. I wonder if they agree?"

"Allowed. But it must be noted that investing in the main artery can give them certain rights and profit dividends; but the initiative of the main artery must be in the hands of the state."

Ling Zhifeng came out again: "Xian Wang, can the review criteria of the Spark Award be made public, and the winners should be screened now?"

Li Xian thought for a while, "Li Yuanming, together with Ling Zhifeng, you are temporarily in charge of the review of the Spark Awards. Fang Shijing, you will temporarily transfer people from the Brilliant Star Group who have relevant award experience. Focus on the Spark Awards first. matter.

If the time is too late, the year-end bonus within Brilliant Star Group is temporarily postponed; the postponed year-end bonus can be increased by 5% as compensation.

In addition, Ling Zhifeng, you need to form a department dedicated to the Spark Award. The Spark Award is made into an open, social liberal organization department. There are a few core staff members, and the rest of the honorary members are screened from all levels of society, and a meeting is held at the end of each year to screen the list of winners and so on. "

After ordering one thing at a time, the sun was rising before I knew it. Finally everything is resolved.

Finally, it was Li Xian's turn to assign tasks. Everyone looked at Li Xian, waiting for orders.

"The last time I asked you to think about practice, how did you think about it? The ancient practice can no longer keep up with the requirements of the development of the times, what do you think?"

This is a small problem left a few days ago, but the meaning of the small problem is not small. There is no conflict between the traditional cultivation problem and the current development of the Shang Kingdom, but at least it can be said that it is a bit out of touch .

Today's Shang Kingdom is developing faster and faster. Big businessmen rely on the luck brought by wealth, and their cultivation can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

But there is a huge problem in this - all traditional practice requires retreat, cultivation of mind, state of mind and so on. But obviously, just talking about "retreating" is not in line with the current situation of Shang Kingdom. Even if you rely on luck to practice, you still need to retreat to understand the practice and Taoism.

What the Kingdom of Shang needs is a brand-new way of practice that is faster, more accurate, doesn't care about resource consumption, but cares about time extremely. Note that you don't need to care about resource consumption, but time.

The officials present understood the situation Shang Kingdom was facing. However, the new practice does not mean that there is one. The traditional way of practice was accumulated after millions of years, how could it be possible to change it at will!

Seeing that no one said anything, Li Xian turned his gaze to Fang Shijing.

Fang Shijing's scalp became numb, but he lowered his head and acted like a little turtle. If there was a shell on his back, Fang Shijing might shrink his head back.

Li Xianzhen didn't know if he was in a state of dumbfounding at the moment. "Fang Shijing, you are in charge of Qingyun Valley now. You are the person present who knows the most about science and technology, so you don't have any ideas?"

This is Li Xian's question, but there is also a reminder. Science and technology... Science and technology... This reminder is obvious enough!

But Fang Shijing said embarrassingly, but with a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I am dull. I believe that the contribution of science and technology to the material world is unparalleled. But for the world of practice, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything for the time being."

After Li Xian heard this, he had to sigh. Fang Shijing's words made sense, and the temporary scientific development was indeed too rough. Obviously, Fang Shijing and others do not believe that science can replace practice for the time being. The science recognized by everyone lies in "using machines to send people to the fairyland".

Almost everyone believes that the development of science can assist some things that practice cannot do; but practice itself, science is still powerless.

Seeing that almost everyone looked like this, Li Xian knew that it was time for his "cosmic explosion" again.

After coughing a few times and attracting everyone's attention, Li Xiancai said slowly: "I don't know if you have noticed, but technology is developing, and we are always exploring the essence of the world.

Because we understand the essence, we have the sky fire bomb.

The internal combustion engine came about because of the understanding of the nature of heat and combustion. And then there are the rockets.

Everything in the Shang Kingdom is based on scientific exploration.

Since matter can be explored, can the human body also be explored? Everyone only knows how to practice step by step, but they don't think about why the human body can practice.

Why do some people practice fast and some people practice slowly? Why is there a division of yin and yang and five elements?

There are differences in many things in practice, so what causes the difference? "

After a short pause, Li Xian said seriously: "As the elite of the Shang Kingdom, I ask each of you to ask one question—why! After encountering something, you must explore the essence instead of staying on the surface."
