Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 218
In addition to the palace, when the wires were laid, some electric lights were installed along the way.

Therefore, after the electricity was turned on, the imperial palace and a small part of the roads in the capital were lit up.

This is the first time that people in this era saw so-called electric lights.

Many people came out to watch and point.

"This candle doesn't look like a candle, and the lantern doesn't look like a lantern. What the hell is it?"

"I heard that His Majesty made something, so naturally we can't understand it."

"Hey, isn't today the emperor who copied the house, and he can still do this."

"The matter of the emperor is not something we can discuss at will."

"But don't say it, this thing is really bright. The key is that it won't go out when the wind blows over it."

"Could it be the means of the gods?"

"There are no gods in this world, stop dreaming."

……

The palace is also brightly lit, and the main palaces are brightly lit.

Gu Jinge still lives in Xianghua Palace, the two have been together for a long time, and their relationship is very good.

Especially with the addition of Shen Zhining's here, they cook delicious food at every turn, and life can be nourished.

Tonight, looking at the lights, the two eat hot pot together.

This hot pot has been around for a long time, but Shen Zhining specially designed and manufactured a mandarin duck pot.

Smokeless charcoal is burning under the copper pot, and the soup, which is spicy on one side and not spicy on the other, is bubbling and bubbling.

The ingredients are very rich, such as thinly sliced ​​tender sirloin, live shrimp, abalone, king crab and so on.

After all, as a cultivator, it is very easy to catch some fish and shrimp in the sea.

With the addition of electric lights, the ingredients are illuminated with a layer of light, which is not comparable to candle oil lamps.

But plastic has not been invented yet, so the light switch is a very primitive kind of manual pull.

Cuizhu and Zisu had never seen an electric light before, they had been researching it, and even tested the current flow.

"It's amazing. Although we cultivators can also create lightning, we didn't expect to be able to emit light."

"I thought His Majesty was using electricity to make weapons and deal with immortal cultivators. Looking at this thing now, it's not powerful enough."

The two muttered and discussed.

That's all for Shen Zhining over there, but Gu Jinge couldn't help looking at her: "Sister, you really made this light bulb."

Shen Zhining was brushing the beef, she nodded: "Of course, I used some fairy arts, it's not too difficult, sister, do you want to learn it?"

It would be good to master one more skill, Gu Jinge agreed: "There is still this electricity, what else can I do."

Shen Zhining is from modern times, she smiled: "There are many things you can do, such as induction cooker, air conditioner, refrigerator, car and so on."

Then she began to explain.

Gu Jinge was taken aback when he heard it, but he didn't expect it to have such a broad application.

In the end, she made a conclusion: "Your Majesty is not worthless."

She had to admit that Xu Mochen still had a little sparkle on him.

There was a commotion in the imperial palace and the capital, and the prime minister's mansion tonight was also full of courtiers.

To be honest in the past two years, several loyal ministers in the court have been killed by the emperor, and the future of Daqian depends on the efforts of the rest of them.

But Hunjun is not incompetent, at least the research and promotion of hybrid rice is recognized by Shifang World.

No one thinks too much food.

They are also very concerned about the hydropower station that His Majesty has recently built to generate electricity.

Today finally ushered in the results. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the lights and tested the electricity.

So they all gathered at the prime minister's house to celebrate, and each of them had a good time talking and drinking.

"Hahaha, His Majesty has mobilized so many craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and heard that they spent a lot of money. The officials thought that electricity was something amazing, but this is it?" an official sneered.

"Electric light? I'm dying of laughter. It's used for lighting. Look at the night pearls on the surrounding walls. I really don't know what to spend all my time on electricity."

In the hall of the prime minister's house, for the sake of the banquet, the surrounding walls have long been filled with night pearls the size of basketballs, illuminating the room brightly.

"Needless to say, what treasures can there be in His Majesty's palace, without the luminous pearl, naturally thinking about electric lights."

"My lords, I have tried it, and the lightning might not even kill the immortal cultivators who have entered the Qi Refining Realm. There is nothing to worry about."

"Using so much money from the national treasury and doing this with such a great momentum, if it weren't for the presence of our loyal ministers, the country would have perished a long time ago."

"Yes, all of this is due to the leadership of the adults. Let's toast to the adults together."

The prime minister's expression was calm, and he raised his wine glass as a signal, and everyone drank together.

Unlike other people's excitement, the Prime Minister was already very wary of Xu Mochen in his heart.

He looked at the courtiers who were drinking and drinking, and secretly scolded these stupid pigs in his heart. They had already been sold by the Yunshang Realm without knowing it.

That being the case, he didn't mind pushing back and looking at His Majesty's hole cards by the way.

"Next year will be the imperial examination held every three years," the prime minister put down his wine glass, "it will also be the first imperial examination system held after the unification of the world.

This is a good time to elect talents for us. Your Majesty is stupid and likes to use electric lights to promote farming.

But in the final analysis, it must be a good minister who supports the foundation for thousands of years. "

Entering this topic, all the courtiers also corrected their attitudes.

That's right, the imperial examination system is the foundation of a country.

Immortal cultivators make use of the dissemination of cultural knowledge, imbue it with a seal, and spread it among mortals, providing them with an endless stream of belief and immortality.

This is a real national event!

In the troubled times of the past, on the one hand, there were discrepancies in culture among various countries, which made it difficult to achieve unified implantation.

But it's different now. China is already a country, and what they want is to take this opportunity of the imperial examination to further strengthen their cultural rule over the human race.

"Your Excellency is worthy of saying that you are old enough to seek the country," the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up and bowed, "Talents are the foundation of a country, without talents, technology is just icing on the cake.

As important ministers in the court, we must correct His Majesty's overkill and help Daqian get on the right track. "

"That's right," an official echoed, "The hybrid rice and hydroelectric power stations that His Majesty has launched are just temporary solutions but not the root cause.

In today's world, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars still rank first and cannot be shaken. "

"Your Excellency is still wise. Without your dedicated assistance, this great effort would have perished long ago."

Everyone said yes.

"This time, all parties will pay attention," the prime minister smiled. "It is the Ministry of Rites's job to dominate the imperial examinations. The two adults of the Ministry of Rites must do their best."

The Minister of Rites and the Minister stood up to take orders.

"The first imperial examination," the prime minister continued, "I am sure that people from all directions will come, and the Ministry of War must also inform the Wucheng Bingma Division to ensure the safety of the capital.

And everyone, you have to tell the sect when you go back, the world of the ten directions will come when it comes, but don't cause trouble. "

Those who come to take the exam must be immortals, and those who get good grades will naturally become one of them.

The imperial examination is not only a good opportunity to find officials of the human race for Dagan, but also a good opportunity to supplement officials of immortal cultivators.

Before the reunification, all countries also had imperial examinations, and they all operated in this way.

Generally, those who rank in the front are all cultivators.

In terms of mastering knowledge, immortal cultivators are faster than ordinary people. More importantly, the content of exams and textbooks are originally formulated by immortal cultivators for the human race. They have a fundamental advantage.

The key to this is that everyone understands it.

In particular, he might be able to take advantage of this imperial examination to regain control of the previously lost departments in his own hands.

One by one, the small thoughts began to become active again.

The situation in the capital changed quietly, and Xu Mochen didn't know about it.

After dealing with the main problems of the Lanzhou Hydropower Station, taking advantage of the situation to make plans for the pharmaceutical factory, steel factory and other projects, Xu Mochen returned to the capital.

Looking at the electric lights in the imperial study, he was quite satisfied.

"The firefighters must follow up," Xu Mochen instructed, "Our technology is not in place now, and it will cause a fire after a long time."

Most of the buildings in the palace are made of wood and are easily destroyed in case of fire.

Of course, with Xu Mochen and other cultivators around, the fire wouldn't be able to burn.

He is worried about the future use of private electricity.

Tang Derun wrote down the matter, and handed over a bunch of memorials by the way: "Your Majesty, this is a matter recently reported by the courtiers, and all important minor officials have been singled out.

Next year, the imperial examination will be held every three years, and talented scholars from all states will participate. "

Imperial examination?Xu Mochen is no stranger.

But after knowing the cultivator, his attitude towards the imperial examination changed.
