Regarding Zhao Huan's desire to cultivate immortality, Li Gang and Zhuang Chengyi felt that it was not incomprehensible.

During the Song Dynasty, there were schools all over the country and a library in every county. Literacy was vigorously promoted and education was achieved. Officials should be the first among the emperors in the past, right?

In terms of martial arts, the surrounding vassal states have all become the chief envoys of the Song Dynasty. The Western Regions have also been captured by the mad dog Yelu Dashi. The European side has to wait for the Roman Empire to take action, even if it wants to expand its borders.

Where should the soil expand? In the sky? Or underground?

As far as the civil and military skills of the official family are concerned, everyone in the world will submit to them. If he doesn't cultivate immortality, what else can he do?

But then again, understanding is one thing, but it is another matter for officials to really want to become immortals.

Qin Shihuang once sent Xu Fu to the east, Liu Yezhu once doted on the alchemist, and Li Er once took drugs like crazy. But what happened? The First Emperor died of taking drugs, Liu Yezhu killed his son, and Li Er took drugs and killed himself like the First Emperor.

If these three emperors are relatively far away from the Song Dynasty, then there is also a negative teaching material of the official father, Emperor Zhao Jixiang, who calls himself the leader of the Taojun Emperor, and has people collate and compile it into the "Zhenghe Wanshou Taoist Canon". What is the result? The Song Dynasty

The country was almost surrendered to others, and he himself ended up being a ruthless calligraphy and painting creation machine.

Countless historical lessons have proven that cultivating immortality will not end well.

So, how should we advise the officials?

Zhuang Chengyi and Li Gang quietly winked at each other, and then secretly looked at Zhao Huan, but couldn't see any desire for immortality on Zhao Huan's face?

This is so wrong!

If an official really wants to cultivate immortality, shouldn't his face reveal his desire for immortality?

What the hell is this normal expression on his face?

Or is he so sure of the existence of Penglai Island?

Zhuang Chengyi was thinking about it in his mind, and suddenly he felt an enlightenment, like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind.

The officials don’t want to cultivate immortality at all, but they want to use cultivation as an excuse!

He just wanted to make trouble, but he was afraid that he, the Minister of Revenue, would say that the treasury had no money, so he first said that he wanted to become an immortal, so as to force himself to give in!

Officials have such vicious thoughts!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Chengyi, who thought he had seen through everything, bowed and said: "Are the officials asking for a way to live forever? If so, the officials should issue an edict to let Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain come to the palace to see your majesty."

After Li Gang and Zhuang Chengyi secretly looked at each other, they also "understood" like Zhuang Chengyi, and then bowed and said: "I also recommend Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain."

Don't you want to make an issue of cultivating immortals? Let's just go with the flow and not stop you, let you cultivate!

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang and Zhuang Chengyi in confusion.

When did I say that I wanted to cultivate immortality and seek immortality?

Is it not fun anymore to lead troops to build a temple in Beijing? Or is it that the concubines in the palace are not beautiful anymore?

Li Er took drugs, which gave all the descendants of his family a bad start, so that several emperors of the old Li family died of taking drugs; Jiajing, the shady cultivator, was almost strangled by the palace maid.

Death, why the hell do I have to think so hard that I would go to practice immortality and seek immortality?

Zhao Huan's face darkened and he shouted: "This is nonsense! When did I say that I wanted to cultivate immortality and seek immortality?"

He is anxious! He is anxious!

Zhuang Chengyi's Tao of Heart is just as expected. Once we don't stop you from cultivating immortality and seeking immortality, you won't be able to bear it anymore!

Now I will see how you sing in the next play!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Chengyi simply bowed and said: "I just heard from the officials that they were talking about Penglai Prefecture. Don't they want to send envoys east to Penglai to get the elixir of immortality?"

Zhao Huan laughed angrily, pointed at Zhuang Chengyi and said, "What kind of mess is this?"

"The Penglai Prefecture I am talking about is a continent located in the far east of our Song Dynasty and in the far west of Europe. In terms of area, it is almost the same as our Song Dynasty. In terms of origin, it is the hometown of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. There are

I plan to send people there to retrieve the seeds of high-yielding grains such as corn and sweet potatoes. Why did Zhuang Qing connect this matter with cultivating immortals and seeking immortality? It’s simply... simply..."

Zhao Huan resisted and did not say the word "ridiculous" directly. After all, Zhuang Chengyi was considered an old minister, and he had carefully scrutinized the treasury for so many years, so he still had to give him some face.

It's just that Zhuang Chengyi also knew that what Zhao Huan was trying not to say was definitely not a good thing. It was either ridiculous or complete nonsense.

But Zhuang Chengyi no longer cared whether Zhao Huan was holding back two words or four.

Zhuang Chengyi was more concerned about the high-yielding grains that Zhao Huan mentioned.

No one understands the importance of food better than Zhuang Chengyi, the Minister of Household Affairs.

If you open the history book and read it carefully, you will find that the four words war and cannibalism are written crookedly everywhere in the whole book, and there is only one word behind these four words, and that is "hungry".

Hungry.

No matter how much land there is, there never seems to be enough. No matter how much food there is, there never seems to be enough to eat.

War after war, especially the change of dynasties, the most fundamental reason is the problem of land distribution. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that there is not enough food to eat, which leads to war. The essence of war is to consume the population, thus

Complete the redistribution of land and means of production.

As for how Zhao Huan, an official, knew Penglai Prefecture, why it was said to be the hometown of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and how he knew there were high-yielding grains such as corn and sweet potatoes, Zhuang Chengyi did not care at all and did not doubt its authenticity.

sex.

When the official came to earth, whether the real emperor came to earth and knew it from birth, or whether the official found it out of some unique ancient book, anyway, what the official said before about the silver mines in the Japanese country came true.

The news that people say there are a lot of copper mines in Myanmar has come true. Now it seems normal to believe him even more?

Moreover, the officials just said that it was the hometown of the Yin Shang. Does this mean that there are a large number of Yin Shang survivors there?

It would be fine if those remnants of the Yin and Shang dynasties were easy to talk to and discuss. If they did not recognize us as relatives of the Song Dynasty, would we have another batch of workers in the Song Dynasty?

"Treasury..."

Zhuang Chengyi said tentatively: "The national treasury can still take out...50,000 Song Dynasty treasure notes can also be taken out, but I don't know if it is enough?"

Zhao Huan laughed loudly and mocked: "Isn't your treasury always so empty that it can run like a rat or a horse? Why do you have fifty thousand guan of treasure money now?"

Zhuang Chengyi's face darkened and he said he would not slap people in the face when they hit him, and he would not expose his shortcomings when he scolded people. Why is this official just trying to poke holes in people's hearts?!

Seeing Zhuang Chengyi's dark face, Zhao Huan didn't feel sorry for himself. Instead, he said with a smile: "The reason why I summoned Li Qing and Zhuang Qing to the palace is not just to integrate the fleet to go to Penglai Prefecture to collect seeds.
