250 A billion
After Jiang Li finished sighing in the Imperial garden, he sorted out his mood and walked to the Imperial Kitchen.
Although the great Xia Palace was really deserted, Jiang Li didn't change his mind. He didn't even plan to recruit Palace maids.
If it was deserted, then so be it.
Ensuring his own safety was the most important thing, and everything else could be put aside.
Was that why the strong were all lonely?
I don't know. Jiang Li suddenly thought of this, but he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. It was a waste of time.
it was useless.
In the Imperial Kitchen.
When Jiang Li walked here, he smelled the fragrance of porridge. He pushed open the door of the Imperial Kitchen and saw du Xiaohua busy cooking porridge.
Your Majesty, why are you here?
Jiang Li. du Xiaohua turned around and saw Jiang Li. He was a little flustered.
I'm fine.
Jiang Li smiled. He suddenly realized that du Xiaohua was the only one who could stay by his side all the time. She was the maid ma han bought for ten taels of silver. I just came to see you. Are you used to being alone? Do you want to find a few people to help you?
No, there's no need to.
Du Xiaohua shook her head. I can take care of Your Majesty's daily needs by myself. I don't need anyone else's help. I can take care of it by myself.
Alright, he said.
okay. Jiang Li nodded.
Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. The congee will be ready soon.
Du Xiaohua said.
Alright, he said.
okay. Jiang Li nodded again.
Azure Dragon Palace.
Morning court.
Jiang Li sat on the Dragon Throne.
Below.
Hong Tianqi, han Liqi, and the others reported their tasks to Jiang Li one after another.
the acquisition of steel and iron had been accelerated, and the national policy of planting medicinal herbs and elixirs had been implemented and promoted.
however
Hong Tianqi's purchase of steel' went very smoothly. After all, he had real gold and silver in his hands, and with the support of the Commandery princes and castellans, he had purchased a large amount of steel materials.
it would probably take less than seven days to meet the requirements for the construction of the army base'.
However
The promotion of the National policy of planting medicinal and spiritual herbs' was not going well.
The reason was simple.
The cultivation of medicinal and spiritual herbs required a lot of manpower, resources, and time. In addition, the great Xia Dynasty had just been established, so it did not have enough prestige in the hearts of the people.
In other words.
The entire country's people were worried that they had spent a lot of effort and labor to grow medicinal herbs and spirit herbs. What if they couldn't sell them? What if they bought it at a lower price?
One had to know.
This was planted all over the country.
the first batch of medicinal herbs and spirit herbs would mature by a huge amount. other than the imperial court, who else would be able to consume so many medicinal herbs and spirit herbs?
Even though
Great Xia's imperial court had made a promise that they would purchase it at the original price.
But what if the Imperial court broke their promise?
Or what if the great Xia Dynasty was occupied by the great Qian dynasty?
This was not impossible.
There was more.
The planting of medicinal herbs and spirit herbs was not an easy task. It was very likely that all kinds of natural and man-made disasters would occur, which would lead to the destruction of the planted medicinal herbs.
there were too many things to worry about.
Therefore
In the eyes of the people of the country, it was better to grow grain than to open up medicinal fields and grow spirit herbs. At the very least, even if the grain could not be sold, it could naturally be stored up and would not starve to death.
han liqi, do you have any good solutions on how to better implement the policy of herb planting?
Jiang Li suddenly asked.
This bi an
han liqi and the others looked at each other.
Your Majesty.
Wu Zong stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Li. at present, it's difficult to implement this policy, mainly because people all over the country are worried that the herbs and elixirs they grow can't be sold or will be purchased at a lower price, causing them to lose all their money and starve to death on the streets.
this kind of worry is very difficult to resolve in a short period of time. only after the first batch of medicinal ingredients has matured and the imperial court has purchased them all at their original prices can the imperial court's prestige be established in the hearts of the people of the country.
This requires time.
other than that, the people in the country are also worried that great Xia will not be able to withstand the pressure from the great Qian dynasty. In the end, great Xia will still be occupied by the great Qian dynasty.
All in all, I don't trust the great Xia Dynasty.
Your Majesty, I don't think we can rush this. We need time to slowly make the transition.
Han Liqi said.
That's right, Your Majesty,
For now, at least all the cities and villages in the great Xia province have begun to cultivate the medicinal fields, pang kui nodded and said.
it's also starting in jinwang county.
I believe that in a few years, it will be able to be planted all over the country.
But I don't have the patience.
Jiang Li said.
This bi an
Han Liqi and the others lowered their heads.
Xu Ya.
Jiang Li said.
Your subject is here.
Xu Ya bowed.
pass down my decree.
I'm not sure, Jiang Li said. all the princes and lords in the Xia Dynasty must fully cooperate and support the policy. For those who don't want to open the herb fields, send the Army and suppress them with force. Force them to open the fields and plant the herbs.
If you're still unwilling and disobey the decree, kill them on the spot as a warning to others.
This bi an
Your Majesty, this is not very good.
it will cause public resentment.
it's very likely that there will be a civilian riot!
Han Liqi, Hong Tianqi, and the others said one after another.
Public resentment? A riot?
Jiang Li glanced at han Liqi and the others. since you don't want to follow my orders and can't create value, what's the point of keeping it? the disobedient people are worse than the monster and barbarian slaves.
at the very least, the monster slaves and barbarian slaves can't disobey any orders from their contracted master'.
There's more,
tell Jin murou and the others that if I find any village in the county they're in charge of that hasn't been cultivated, tell them to come and see me. Jiang Li said.
I accept your orders.
yes! Xu Ya nodded respectfully.
Soon after.
Xu Ya then reported to Jiang Li about the situation of each county and the positions of the officials. Jiang Li only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.
Time passed.
The morning passed.
Xu Ya, Hong Tianqi, han Liqi, and the others all left.
His Majesty's Code of Conduct is simply a cruel and merciless tyrant.
Hu Dong said.
Lower your voice.
Wu Zong glared at Hu Dong.
however, if we want to implement the policy of opening up medicinal fields' as soon as possible, Your Majesty's plan is indeed the fastest and most effective plan.
Han Liqi said, cut the Gordian knot.
complete His Majesty's orders as soon as possible. Then, we won't have to be so worried.
Hong Tianqi said.
Inside the Azure Dragon Palace.
master, No. Zh02 has led the mech Army to transport all the resources of the wuzu sub-League back to the capital. They are currently waiting in the barracks.
QX01 walked into the hall and reported the situation to Jiang Li.
To the military camp.
Jiang Li stood up.
yes.
QX01 was walking in front.
myl01 and ynjs01 followed closely on both sides of jiang li. they were only half a step behind jiang li.
A few minutes later.
In the military camp.
Jiang Li had arrived.
Chief sovereign.
Jiang Li. zh02 and zh03 saluted Jiang Li.
Yes.
okay. Jiang Li nodded.
my Lord, all the medicinal herbs and spirit herbs have been unloaded from the truck. These are all ordinary medicinal herbs, and these are spirit herbs.
Zh02 said to Jiang Li.
Where are the spirit crystals?
Jiang Li asked.
It's all here.
Zh03 pointed to a place not far ahead. The Jade boxes were arranged into a small mountain.
Open all of them.
Jiang Li said.
Yes.
the meches walked over and opened all the jade boxes. the lower spiritual crystals in the boxes caught jiang li's eyes.
Have you counted the number of crystals?
Jiang Li asked.
The statistics have been tabulated.
there are 100 Jade boxes in total, zh02 replied. each Jade box contains 100 lower spiritual crystals. That's 10000 lower spiritual crystals in total.
Oh.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
Jiang Li was prepared when he saw the number of spiritual crystals. He knew there would be a lot of them, but he didn't expect there to be 10000.
One had to know.
Jiang Li had spent a lot of effort to extort 10000 lower spiritual crystals from Chi Mei. There were 10000 spiritual crystals in the treasure vault of wuzu sub-League.
However, after thinking about it carefully
The monster fog soldiers planned to build a half-Monster Kingdom, so they had accumulated a lot of wealth. It was normal to have 10000 lower spiritual crystals.
Shua!
[ discovered item that can be converted into energy points. Do you want to convert it?! ]
crystal. Jiang Li reached out and touched the crystal. A notification popped up.
Yes.
Jiang Li confirmed.
Whoosh!!!
A white light flashed.
The 10,000 lower spiritual crystals disappeared into thin air.
conversion successful. you've received 100000000 energy points!
A notification popped up.
I've got 100 million energy points.
Jiang Li was overjoyed.
Continue.
Soon after.
I'll take it. Jiang Li walked to the place where the ordinary herbs were kept, reached out his right hand, and touched them.
[ discovered item that can be converted into energy points. Do you want to convert it?! ]
It was the same notification.
Yes.
Jiang Li confirmed.
Whoosh!!!
An area of white light flashed, extremely dazzling.
An ordinary medicinal herb that was worth one billion taels of gold was equivalent to one hundred billion taels of silver. It could be said to be a huge number.
Because there were too many herbs, Jiang Li couldn't convert all of them at once. He had to convert them in batches.
conversion successful. You've received 102070000 energy points!
conversion successful. You've received 100000000 energy points!
conversion successful. You've received 99270000 energy points!
Ten times!
it took jiang li ten times to convert all the herbs. each time he converted, he could get about 100 million energy points.
In the end.
After converting the one billion taels of gold worth of ordinary herbs, he obtained a total of 1025000000 energy points, which was a total of one billion and twenty-five million points.
the number of energy points has exceeded one billion!
jiang li took a deep breath and clenched his fists in excitement. with so many energy points, as long as i can find a way to get a level-three soul tinder, i'll be able to activate the mech navy and mech air force.
In fact.
One billion energy points.
On the surface, it seemed like a lot.
But in reality.
However, it was not as smooth as he had imagined.
one had to know.
Building a perfected-stage level three mech required 1.5 million energy points, while building a perfected-stage level four mech required 150 million points.
This was the calculation.
one billion energy points was not even enough to create ten perfected-stage level four meches.
Of course.
jiang li hadn't unlocked a level four troop class yet. for now, one billion energy points were enough. even if he could build all the perfected level three troop classes, he could build nearly 700.
700 mayflies
It didn't seem like much.
