After finding the little rhinoceros, Li Er went mad.

Jiang He stretched and looked at the group of ancient people in the sky who seemed to be on steroids, and felt a sense of satisfaction, like playing a simulation game.

"Alright, the beginner's tutorial is now complete. It's up to you to do your own thing."

He muttered something to himself and then stopped paying attention to the movements in the sky.

Governing a country is a tiring task; even being a cloud mentor requires a lot of brainpower.

He decided to relax and spend some time with the little guy who had just come back to life from watching the cartoon.

"Uncle, that... pink little house called Peppa Pig, why... can it talk and wear clothes?"

Little Sizi looked up with her delicate, porcelain-like face, her big eyes filled with a million "whys".

She had just finished watching two episodes of "Peppa Pig" and developed a strong curiosity about this pink creature that could talk, jump in mud puddles, and had a complete family.

In her little worldview, pigs are kept in pens and eaten, not like this, which can talk, build houses, and has a dinosaur toy.

"Because...because they are piglets from cartoons, and they are different from the ones we usually see," Jiang He explained patiently.

"Then...then are they also sheep raised by the immortals?" Little Sizi blinked, trying to connect what he had seen with the divine oracle that had just appeared in the sky.

Jiang He was taken aback, then amused by her boundless imagination: "Haha, you could say they are 'sheep' from the world of animation."

He picked up a box of children's crayons and a piece of white paper from the side and spread them on the coffee table: "Here, you might not understand just by talking, so Uncle will teach you how to draw it, okay?"

"Fafa?" Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up instantly; she had never encountered such a novel thing before.

Jiang He picked up a pink crayon and sketched a simple Peppa Pig outline on the paper in a few strokes, bringing the iconic, hairdryer-like profile to life.

"Wow!" Little Si exclaimed, his little hands eager to try.

Jiang He handed her the crayons: "Here, give it a try."

Little Sizi followed suit, picked up a crayon, and with her small body pressed against the coffee table, she began her creation with utmost concentration.

Her small hands lacked strength, resulting in crooked and uneven lines, but her expression was meticulous.

She seemed to want to draw Peppa Pig, but as she drew, she remembered Mr. Dinosaur from the cartoon, and then inspiration struck, and she began to create freely.

Jiang He watched from the side without disturbing her.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the little girl's fluffy hair and her puffed-up little face from straining too much.

A red crayon mark had somehow appeared on the tip of her nose, and her fair little hands had turned into colorful little cat paws, but she was completely unaware of it, immersed in her own artistic world.

The warmth and tranquility of this moment softened Jianghe's heart.

After a while, Xiao Sizi finally raised her head, held up her masterpiece, and proudly presented it to Jiang He, exclaiming in her childish voice, "Uncle! Look! I drew this!"

Jiang He took the masterpiece and almost burst out laughing.

The paper depicts a strange creature drawn with pink crayon.

It has a pink body like Peppa Pig, four short legs, but its head isn't a hairdryer; instead, it has a long, upturned nose, making it look more like a pink baby elephant.

"This is..." Jiang He suppressed a laugh, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"A pink auspicious beast!" Little Sizi proudly announced the name of her creation. "It can... talk, and it can even use its long nose to help Uncle carry things!"

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Jiang He finally couldn't hold back anymore. He scooped the adorable little inventor into his arms and kissed her paint-smeared face. "Our Sizi is such a genius!"

The praised little ox happily giggled in Jiang He's arms, its clear laughter sounding like the most beautiful music in the world.

All these heartwarming scenes were broadcast live, frame by frame, to the eyes of the Tang emperor and his ministers through the sky screen.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin, who had just finished court, still had an uncontrollable excitement on his face.

Instead of resting, he immediately summoned Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

"Both of you, my dear ministers, please be seated."

At this moment, the formalities between the emperor and his subjects in the imperial court have been abandoned, and it is more like three like-minded partners plotting a momentous event.

"The Immortal Master's teachings today, on 'raising sheep and supplementing,' I believe, are the guiding principles for our Great Tang Dynasty for the next ten, even a hundred years!" Li Shimin's voice remained impassioned as he paced back and forth in the hall. "I couldn't sleep all night, feeling only that the road ahead was bright! Xuanling, tell me first, how do you plan to begin this sheep-raising strategy?"

Fang Xuanling stood up, solemnly cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the key to raising sheep lies in ensuring that they can live in peace and reproduce."

Therefore, I have three suggestions: First, I request Your Majesty to postpone non-urgent projects and reduce corvée labor, allowing the people to return to the fields—this is like returning sheep to their pens. Second, with the Ministry of Revenue taking the lead, the land area throughout the empire should be re-established, and all newly reclaimed wasteland should be exempt from taxes for three years to encourage agriculture and sericulture—this is like expanding the sheepfold. Third, an order should be issued to all prefectures and counties to reward each newborn male with one dou of rice and one bolt of silk to promote population growth—this is the foundation for raising sheep!

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, his eyes gleaming: "Excellent! These three strategies perfectly capture the essence of the Immortal's method for raising more sheep! We will proceed with the plan immediately, according to your suggestion!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wei Zheng, who remained silent to the side: "Xuancheng, where do you intend to begin your patching-up spree?"

Wei Zheng remained expressionless, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward, his voice low but each word as firm as iron: "Your Majesty, the great leak in the vat is not in the corners, but in the heart. I request that you first examine the granaries of the Six Ministries, and then verify the expenditures of the imperial relatives."

Upon hearing this, even Fang Xuanling gasped in shock.

First, check the warehouse accounts of the six central ministries, then check the expenses of the imperial relatives.

This first strike went straight for the heart and most sensitive part of the empire!

This is more than just patching a leak; it's practically like lifting up the entire water tank and cleaning it thoroughly!

Li Shimin stared intently at Wei Zheng, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

After a long silence, instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Well done, Wei Xuancheng! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! What I wanted was this ruthless spirit of yours, willing to dig up everything!"

He slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice.

"I grant your permission!"

Go ahead and do it!

Anyone who obstructs me, regardless of their official rank or relationship with me, may be executed first and reported later!

"I want the immortals to see that we can definitely repair the water tank of our Great Tang Dynasty so that not a single drop of water can be leaked!"
