Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 346 I Really Want to Live Another 18 Years ()

Daming Palace, the grand court meeting at the winter solstice at the end of the year.

It can be said that more than 90% of the officials and nobles attending the court meeting this time were replaced, and they were all new faces.

“Great Celestial Venerable, nearly one million people have been exiled to Lingnan. At the same time, thanks to the protection provided by the Fairy of Yaochi, who provided various magical medicines, almost no one has died. It is expected that Lingnan will be able to be developed in the early spring of next year. The local natives have also been formally incorporated into the country with the help of many officials and the Fairy of Yaochi.

According to rough statistics, there are five prefectures in Lingnan.

The total population has reached nearly five million.”

"Great Celestial Venerable, there are currently 400,000 troops stationed on the northern border, with enough food and fodder to last the army for three years. There are also 3,000 Yaochi female fairies following them, and they can be ordered to set out at any time to attack and destroy the Later Turks and recover the lost territory."

“Great Celestial Venerable, we have already stationed 300,000 troops on the northwest border, and the same applies to the rest. They can also be ordered to set out at any time to destroy Tubo. If everything goes well, we can even destroy all the states under Tubo along the way.

For example, Pyu, Chenla and other states."

"Great Lord, if our northern border army can successfully destroy the Later Turks, we can also destroy the Mohe tribes, Shiwei, Khitan, Silla and other countries on the border."

……

Generally speaking, today's grand court meeting is the year-end report for officials at all levels, summarizing the achievements of the past period and reporting on future preparations. Any changes that need to be made will also be raised in a timely manner at the court meeting.

After everyone finished reporting, Bai Shengcai said:
"I will show you something, which you can call a map of mountains, rivers, and states, which has the effect of surveying the heavens and the earth.

The territory of the Great Zhou, and even places outside the Great Zhou.

All are included in this picture. "

While speaking, Bai Sheng had taken out a scroll and turned on the holographic projection function in the scroll, showing the images taken by the quantum satellite she launched into space some time ago.

Real-time panoramic view.

So what was displayed in front of all the civil and military officials in the court was a holographic world map, and it kept expanding as Bai Sheng turned it. He first zoomed in on Lingnan, then picked a crowded place at random to show them the land reclamation and labor reform of those children of aristocratic families, then he looked at the borders one after another, and finally returned to the capital.

In order to avoid causing panic among them.

Bai Sheng did not show the scene inside the house.

However, quantum satellites can actually observe the internal conditions of ordinary houses through ordinary buildings. At least the current buildings of the Great Zhou are not sufficient to shield quantum satellites.

"This is the Mountain and River Map. This map not only allows me to keep abreast of the situation inside and outside the territory, provides intelligence on various ethnic groups and disasters, but also predicts various natural disasters, basically three days in advance. It is also helpful for investigating cases. It can be said that there is a god above my head, and what I have done cannot be hidden.

I will make a new batch of official seals later, and distribute them probably after New Year's Day. The new official seals can barely be considered a magical instrument, which will allow you to directly communicate with the map of the area under your jurisdiction, check the map, check the weather forecast for the next few days, and check past records.

If a fugitive escapes from your jurisdiction.

You can also communicate with officials from other jurisdictions using official seals and collaborate on investigations.

There are many other functions, I will not list them one by one, I will print a special instruction manual and specification manual later, you can read it yourself. Which are illegal operations and which are illegal operations will also be explained in detail in it, and the relevant laws are being compiled and will be released at the same time as the official seal. So don't have a fluke mentality, you must operate according to the instructions.

In addition, the border troops also have it. Once the corresponding official seals are distributed, your border troops in various places can send troops to conquer the Later Turks and other barbarians. The official seals can help you locate the enemy's position in real time and determine the number of enemy troops. You can figure out the details later, but it should be very useful anyway.

This is the first thing I want to say.”

"The second thing is this. The white one is the Wenchang Stone, and the black one is the Wuyun Stone. They store all the knowledge I learned as a mortal from the Yaochi Langya Pavilion. There is also a wisp of my soul that is responsible for explaining the specific meaning of the knowledge in the Langya Pavilion. You can also think of it as my way of educating people.

Didn't we establish many county schools, prefecture schools, township schools, and even village private schools before? There was no shortage of house construction, textbooks, and other things. The only thing lacking was teachers. I even remember that many people suggested calling back the children of the noble families and letting them be responsible for teaching.

These two things are meant to solve the problem of insufficient teachers. Looking back at the statistics of students from all over the country, on average every fifty students can get one Wenchang Stone and one Wuyun Stone. A batch of instruction manuals will also be specially printed for the operation process and distributed along with these Wenchang Stones and Wuyun Stones.

At that time, all the students in the world will be taught by me.

Everyone in the world is my disciple.

In addition, each of you officials will be given two coins to study on your own, because I will make major changes based on the knowledge in Langya Pavilion.

If you all stop moving forward, you will soon be out of touch with the times. Don't blame me for removing you when the time comes. Those who have not committed any crime but are not capable enough or cannot keep up with the times will all have to go home and retire.

If you want to make progress, you have to learn along with me.”

There is no doubt that after putting away the Shanhe Sheji Tu, Bai Sheng took out two pieces of stone, one black and one white, which were two projection devices that were essentially not much different from the Shanhe Sheji Tu. Of course, the teaching video inside was not made by Bai Sheng. He simply made a top-level teaching artificial intelligence system core, and then an artificial intelligence controlled all the Wenchang stones and Wuyun stones. At the same time, the image projected by the holographic projection was Bai Sheng's current image, which was equivalent to putting on Bai Sheng's skin and starting a national education project.

If her half-step innate true spirit wants to transform into a complete innate true spirit, doesn't she need more faith in the Queen Mother of the West? So she can only change her original plan of finding an image of a Yaochi fairy to act as a mentor, and replace it all with her own skin, and she will personally carry out the education and popularization work.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

She is both a deity and a monarch, and now she is also a master. If she goes back to the past, she can barely make up the list. She alone has four of the five universal values ​​that people in the world need to respect. Are you still worried about not having enough faith in the Queen Mother of the West? Her future is definitely limitless!
After collecting the two black and white stones, Bai Sheng did not continue to take things out, but still spoke:
"In addition, I will hold a Yaochi Banquet in the afternoon of the New Year's Day. All ministers and officials can bring their families to participate in the outer meeting, and only those who have made contributions can participate in the inner meeting. At that time, I will reward them according to their merits and grant them the Life Creation Pill. Those who have not reached the standard but are about to reach the standard can work harder in the next month or so. If the gap is too big, then try harder next year."

"Is there anything else to start?"

After saying this, Bai Sheng waited for nearly a minute. Seeing that no one stood up to speak, he waved to Shangguan Wan'er beside him, and then Shangguan Wan'er stood up and announced the adjournment of the court!
At this point, the grand court meeting ended.

However, King Ying, Prince Xiang, Princess Taiping and their children were kept by Bai Sheng. In addition, their wives and other children who did not attend the grand court meeting were also summoned to the palace for a family dinner.

After the meal, Bai Sheng directly gave each of them a Shengsheng Zaohua Pill and urged them to take it on the spot.

After everyone had finished eating and felt it, he said:

"This is a special case. If it weren't for the fact that some of you are dying, it would be unfair to give one pill to each of you individually. But this is the only exception. From now on, whether you or your descendants want to obtain the Life-Saving Pill again, you must make meritorious deeds. This applies to both men and women.

In addition, I am not afraid to tell you. If your body is not damaged, take one pill at the age of 60, one pill at the age of 90, and one pill at the age of 120, and you will probably live to about 140 years old. But if you want to exceed 140 years old and live to 200 years old, you have to take Xihua Taimiao Lingdan.

One pill of Xihua Taimiao elixir can extend one's life by sixty years.

No Limits…

As long as you take one pill every sixty years, you can live forever, so how long you will live in the future does not depend on me or fate, but on whether you can make contributions. Of course, if you are assassinated or poisoned in the middle of your life, there is nothing we can do about it.

I am talking about the case where there is no accidental death.

If you want to live a long life, you should either work hard to study the knowledge in Langya Pavilion and find ways to use that knowledge to contribute to the people, or take the imperial examination to become an official and govern an area, or join the army.

From then on, the royal family did not enjoy any other preferential treatment except the title. They could not avoid taking the imperial examinations and directly become a county governor or a general just because they were royal family.

In addition, all other restrictions have been lifted. If you want to stay in Shendu, you can stay in Shendu. If you don’t want to, you can go anywhere else. It doesn’t matter. There is no restriction on what profession you want to do. You can be a beggar or an opera singer.

I will never interfere, let alone prohibit it.

But the prerequisite is that it cannot violate the laws of the Great Zhou.

In other words, from now on, as long as you do not violate the laws of the Great Zhou, you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want. There will no longer be the previous restrictions, and the newly established marriage law will also apply to you.

If anyone doesn't like your husband and doesn't want to live with him, or feels there is no future without children and wants to find someone else to have children, just go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and apply.

Those who had married before should try to negotiate among themselves, and they are not allowed to take concubines in the future, and princes are no exception.

Those who are not married yet will practice monogamy.

And Taiping, there were indeed some political factors in letting you marry the boy from the Wu family. It was my fault. If you have feelings for each other, then continue to be together. If you don’t have feelings for each other, you can divorce. It doesn’t matter.”

Bai Sheng's move was actually telling them that in the future, apart from enjoying the salary obtained from their own titles, they would no longer have any other privileges. If they wanted to become an official, they had to work hard on their own, and there would not be so many restrictions accordingly, such as not being allowed to leave the Divine Capital for fear that someone would use them to rebel.

All restrictions have been lifted.

Of course, it was not just them, but other clans as well. After all, the privileges of aristocratic nobles were abolished, and the privileges of aristocratic nobles to be officials through influence were also abolished, so the royal clans were no exception. Retaining their titles and granting them salaries, and ensuring that they would not starve to death was already a good treatment, and even their salaries were no longer allocated from the national treasury, but from the royal treasury.

In fact, it is a bit like a family fund, providing subsidies to family children, and it is not a privilege.

From now on they will be the freest royal family.

It is also the royal family with the least privileges.

After hearing this, although King Ying, Prince Xiang and Princess Taiping were somewhat dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything. After all, Bai Sheng obviously did not discuss it with them, but informed them directly. They did not think they had the ability to refute it. All the aristocratic families were easily destroyed by their mother.

What kind of waves can they create?
"Grandmother, do we still need to arrange marriages in the future? Can we just fall in love freely according to the marriage law?"

Although she was a little nervous, Princess Zhangyang still plucked up her courage, raised her hand and asked directly because she really didn't want to marry a dark, fat and ugly man from the Wu family.

"No, you can fall in love freely. If you are under the age limit or don't like someone, your parents can't force you into marriage. But it is still necessary to investigate the other person and think carefully before marriage. Don't be deceived. Although you can get a divorce even if you are unhappy after marriage, you are the one who gets hurt after all.

I will send someone to find some cases and make them into stories later.

You guys should look around more often. Don't really think that you can just go out and find someone randomly for free love. You have to keep your eyes open."

Bai Sheng explained in detail and continued:

"The marriage between the Li and Wu families cannot be stopped, but there is no need to force it. If the child doesn't like it, cancel the engagement. Anyway, I won't die in the next three to five hundred years, and I won't leave this place.

There is really no need for marriage or not.

By the way, I plan to use the cabinet system in the future. The cabinet chief is basically equivalent to the vice emperor. After a few years, the reform will be roughly completed. I may not frequently handle government affairs anymore. Most of the government affairs will be handled by the cabinet chief. So if you want to be the emperor, or want to be in power, you can try to compete for this position.

Recent years have seen both change and great opportunities.

If you want to become the Prime Minister of the previous cabinet, you have to try to do more work and make more contributions.

I have not announced this to the public yet. Currently, only you know about it, which is considered a privilege for you. Do you have any questions now? If you have any, please tell me. The next time we gather together like this, we will have to wait until the Yaochi Feast on New Year's Day."

Afterwards, Bai Sheng's descendants began to raise many questions one after another. Some asked if they could divorce their husbands, some asked if they could not marry, and some asked if they could carve up land overseas and be crowned king.

Most of those who asked questions like divorce and not getting married were worried that their parents would not agree. But today, if they asked Bai Sheng in person, Bai Sheng would agree.

Their parents didn't dare to disagree.

It's a bit clever.

The one who asked if he could carve up territory overseas and become a king was Li Longji. This guy was indeed very ambitious. Bai Sheng, after thinking about it, gave a negative reply:
"It's definitely not possible to split the land and become a king. After all, you can't conquer a piece of land by yourself. Do you have the money to hire civilians and soldiers? Those civilians and soldiers are the people of the country. Why do you call them into service?

Even if you are given the power to mobilize, isn't it the court that has made the greatest contribution? Why should we allow you to divide the land and be crowned king?"

Bai Sheng, who possesses various high-tech means and will have the ability of the Queen Mother of the West in the future, does not have to worry about the problem of too large a territory being difficult to govern, so naturally there is no need for him to engage in any operations to split the land and become a king overseas.

On the new map, Bai Shengdu had already divided the nearby areas that had not been conquered, plus the original territory of the Great Zhou, into 36 states within the sea, and the rest of the land into 72 states overseas. There was no room for people to be crowned kings overseas. The total of 108 small states within the sea and overseas was just enough to recompile the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

By then it will really be like this since ancient times.

After a round of questions and answers, when everyone got answers that were either satisfactory or unsatisfactory, the family dinner ended.
