When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Shi Youtian decided to do something, so he dedicated his own "Agricultural Policy Complete Book of Youtian" to the emperor.

By the time this book reached Li Shun's hands after many layers of communication, it had already been signed by countless names. Of course, the author has not changed, but everyone who handles it will mark his name on the memorial, which means clearly that he discovered this talent.

It is a great pleasure to meet the emperor. They know that the emperor employs talents in an eclectic way, so they will definitely pay attention to this person.

After Li Shun received the book, he flipped through it a few times. It was indeed a good book that recorded a lot of practical agricultural knowledge.

This reminded Li Shun that although there have been people writing books from all walks of life for thousands of years. However, compared to those who edited and annotated the Four Books and Five Classics, they were pitifully few.

Since you use examinations to select talents, you must have standards, and it is necessary to compile some basic examination materials.

Li Shun replied to Shi Youtian's note with great interest: "I am very pleased that I love you because you care about agriculture. I can print this book and spread it around the world, so that everyone will know your name and understand your meaning. I love you as one." The County Agricultural Director hopes that I will bring peace to the people and prosper agriculture so that the people will have enough food and clothing."

Li Shun's reply was sent to Shi Youtian. After reading it, he bowed to the north and said, "Long live my emperor, I am willing to do my best."

The emperor understood his heart, and he dedicated this book not for promotion and wealth, but for the sake of the common people in the world.

Li Shun was not promoted because of the experience gained from being in power for so many years. It is not a good thing to encourage others. From the lines of this man's words, it can be seen that he is pure and idealistic. However, being an official is different from being a scholar. You don’t have to do it yourself to kill someone in the officialdom, and you don’t even need to see blood in person.

He is already a relatively mature emperor, and he understands that different people are different. Let him experience it first. If he can understand the way of being an official and maintain his original intention, he can then entrust him with important tasks.

On September 9, the seventh year of Shengtong, in Haicheng, the eastern capital, Zhang Mao, the prefect, knelt in front of the emperor's dragon, sweating and nervous.

Recently, he has been so busy that he has not been home once for half a month. Since Haicheng was promoted to deputy capital, his status has also increased. He was originally promoted from the fourth rank to a third-rank minister. Pressure also followed. Not to mention that after the relocation order was issued, clans, relatives and aristocratic families came one after another from various places. None of these people were easy to get along with, so it took a lot of trouble to arrange them.

Fortunately, the emperor took the lead in implementing official system reforms in the five capitals, resulting in more yamen and more manpower. The functions of each department and office have been clearly defined, and work efficiency has been greatly accelerated. However, there are always some people who think they are special and have some connections, and come to him through the back door for their own petty profits.

Most people were turned away by him, and there were some who couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only receive them, and then send them away with a casual perfunctory response.

Later, the emperor ordered that all cultivators from all over the world should be united in Haicheng, the eastern capital. This major event involved venue selection, accommodation arrangements, public security and many other matters, which made him very busy and dizzy.

Most importantly, the construction of the emperor's palace.

Although the emperor said that there is no need to build a new building, just find a large house to renovate. However, the emperor's food and accommodation were regulated.

How dare he dare to violate the rules?
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?

Did the emperor really mean it was casual when he said it was casual?

If the old man is not happy, he has to use his hat or head to be happy.

He could only follow the regulations of the imperial court to expropriate and merge the houses of several wealthy households with superior geographical locations and exquisite decoration in the city. It took several months to complete the construction of the palace. By the time the emperor came in person, in just a few months, his hair had turned from black and green hair to gray at the temples, and he had become so thin that he was out of shape. This official was really not appointed by anyone. He turned out to be the prefect of Haicheng, the largest economy in the east. Not only was he fat-bellied, he was also very shiny. Anyone who saw him would have to praise him for his good fortune! Unlike now, he is just a skinny monkey with no hair.

"I, Yin Zhangmao of the Eastern Capital, pay homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Li Shun looked at the governor of Dongdu in front of him with a look of disgust on his face. He was such an ugly official with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. For those who didn't know, he thought he was Bima Wen.

The heartless emperor despised the hard-working ministers who worked hard for him, and sternly scolded: "Haicheng is an important economic town, and as the leader, no matter how upright and honest you are, you should not wear an ill-fitting official uniform to face the emperor! Are you putting on a show for me? Or do you want to tell the world that I treat officials harshly?"

Zhang Mao was extremely unjust. God has mercy on him. He was so thin and busy that he didn't have time to change his clothes. An hour before the emperor came, he was still decorating the venue for the conference.

However, he could not cry out for injustice, he could only plead guilty: "My lord, I lost my manners before the Holy Emperor. Please forgive me."

Li Shun felt the grievance coming from Zhang Mao and clicked his tongue, quite curious.

He rarely uses the spirit thread on mortals. If he relies on the spirit thread to read memories whenever he encounters emotions that he cannot understand, what fun is there in being a human being?
The whole person will become a pig, just like typing on a computer for a long time and forgetting to write. If you use a calculator too much, your mental arithmetic ability will weaken. If the brain is not used, people will be stupid. These are all the same.

Li Shun felt his breath. His breath was short, caused by overwork. Then he looked at his clothes. The clothes were wide, but the places where the shoulders and elbows were worn were very accurate. It was either not his, or his figure had become thinner, and finally his body was cut off. In late autumn, in the cool breeze, he was still sweating, which seemed to be weak.

All right! He thought that he had been assigned too many tasks recently and admitted that he was preconceived.

Li Shundao: "Okay, I'm not blaming you, I just want you to know that no matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to your body."

Zhang Mao suddenly burst into tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I have this word from the Emperor, and it is worth dying for me."

Li Shun carefully selected the governors of the five capitals. They were all capable ministers. There were personnel changes in the other four capitals. Only in Haicheng, the former governor Zhang Mao was able to do things well and had a good official reputation. Corrupt officials will remain in office.

Li Shundao: "Zhang Aiqing, please get back on your feet, I am going to the palace."

Zhang Mao stood up and led the way.

The emperor's Eastern Capital Palace was built according to the specifications of the capital city. It was located on the central axis, facing north and south, with high walls and deep courtyards, and there were no tall trees around it.

The buildings in Haicheng are different from the gardens in the Jiangnan water towns. Because the offshore is windy and the foundations are deep, the building materials are also based on the standard of being able to withstand strong winds. Stones are mostly selected to be strong and durable.

When Li Shun came to the palace, everything he saw was luxurious: "I have heard for a long time that the people in Haicheng are rich. I wonder whose house this is? How can it be so big?"

Zhang Mao was sweating again: "Your Majesty, these are several wealthy merchants' mansions selected by the ministers combined into one."

Li Shun understood what he was thinking and did not want to be too harsh. He nodded and said: "You are able to complete the construction of the palace in a short time. You are really diligent..." (End of Chapter)
