Ronglou and Poxian said respectfully, "I obey."
After Ji Xia dealt with the matter of paying compensation to the relatives of the soldiers who died in battle, he glanced at the ministers and said, "Let's take turns."
Fang Lu, the master of the Pharmacist's Mansion, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Pharmacist's Mansion has moved into the new mansion, and the servants have been able to skillfully complete many prescriptions bestowed by the King, but... Tai Cang is very short of many medicinal materials and spiritual herbs. It cannot be refined in large quantities."
"I have my own solution to this matter, and the Pharmacist's Mansion will work hard to study the elixir."
Fang Lu should be respectful.
Another senior Yin Luyu came out and said: "The Taicang reform proposed by the king last time has been studied in detail by Wang Ting, the two governments and many other officials, and many regulations have been established."
"Many casting masters in the Craftsman's Mansion and Gu Xuan, the master of the Spiritual Weapons Pavilion, worked together to cast four currency spiritual weapons. Now it is only necessary for the king to set the currency style and materials, and then Gu Xuan slightly changes the spiritual weapons."
Ji Xia sat up and asked, "Have the candidates for the household government been selected? The household household is in charge of finance, official salary, land, household registration, currency and many other matters, so we can't be careless."
Lu Yu's face froze and said: "The person in charge of land and household registration has been selected, but the person in charge of finance and currency... Your Majesty, Taicang really does not have the talents who are proficient in arithmetic as the King said."
Ji Xia rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will seal up the four currency spiritual weapons and let no one touch them. I will discuss it after I confirm the person who will be in charge of the household."
Lu Yu saluted respectfully.
The farmer's mansion, Gu Shu, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the entire Jiugou, 20 souls, have been massacred. The blood in the Jiugou City has flowed into rivers, and the stench is suffocating. Countless cattle, sheep and livestock of many tribes have all died! Tai Cang's meat supply can only last for one month, if there is no meat supply within one month, Tai Cang will have no meat to eat."
Ji Xia nodded and asked, "What can the Palace Master do?"
Gu Shu bowed and said, "After the solitude of the day, I brought back thousands of cows and tens of thousands of sheep from Jiugou, and sent people to Jiugou to learn the methods of animal husbandry in case of accidents."
"Now that the doves and dogs are extinct, it happens to be based on these cattle and sheep to breed livestock, but it still needs the work of the Craftsman's Mansion and Tianfu Pavilion to build cattle sheds and sheep sheds, and distribute warm stones, so that in the future, there will be no need to be afraid of livestock. Frozen to death, and then look for Tai Cang’s people, and teach them how to raise them systematically, within three years, Tai Cang will no longer have to worry about the problem of not having enough meat.”
Hearing this, Ji Xia praised: "The Master of the Gu Palace is a great talent, naturally sheds must be built, and more sheds must be built, but you can't just raise cattle and sheep."
Gu Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, now I have no other livestock except cattle and sheep."
Ji Xia smiled and said: "Build the shed first, and then there will be livestock."
When Gu Shu retreated, many ministers continued to play a role, and proposed strategies and methods for discussion by all ministers.
At the end of the court meeting, Ji Xia stood up and said, "Send someone to deliver a letter to the dense forest of the Southern Forbidden City, and ask Wenye to send monsters to Jiugou to burn all the corpses, so as not to spread the disease to Taicang along the wind."
"The Yunyuanling rice planted will take four months to mature. The Farmer's Mansion must keep an eye on the rising trend and not be negligent."
"The construction of the new city will continue. Although the Qingyangyuan part of the new city has not yet been inhabited, we must do our best. The population of Taicang is small now. When the population increases in the future, it will be of great use there."
"My lords, is there anything else to play?"
The head of the ceremony came out, full of vigor, and bowed to Ji Xia: "Now the king is called the king, and he still needs a title. I have discussed with the master for a long time, and I will present the selected title to the king. I also ask the king to rule."
A palace guard presented a volume of jade slips, Ji Xia opened it and saw three titles of kings written on it.
"King Gaohao, King Hanzheng, and King Jiayang."
After each king title, two people quoted scriptures and explained in detail.
Seeing these three titles, Ji Xia lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "These three titles are not very good."
Both Chang Feng and Zhao Qu said in panic: "Why not?"
Ji Xia said: "It doesn't sound good."
Chang Feng and Zhao Qu were all taken aback, bowed their heads and remained silent.
Ji Xia casually put the jade slip in his hand aside, thought for a while, and said softly: "The name of the king, let's call it Taichu."
Chang Feng and Zhao Qu looked at each other, thought for a while and said, "Too is the most and extreme; the beginning is the beginning. Taichu is indeed very good!"
Ji Xia nodded, ignored the important ministers kneeling down, congratulated the "Prince Taichu", waved lightly and said, "Disappear."
Chapter 221 Cultivation, Strength
Ji Xia left the court meeting, returned to the king's bedchamber, and sat down casually.
The so-called king's bedroom is a pavilion not far from the military tent. Thanks to the glazed blue tiles newly produced by the kiln, this pavilion looks very beautiful and luxurious.
Ji Xia practiced in this spacious pavilion on weekdays.
Not long after he sat down, Guan Xi brought him food and drink.
Ji Xia's diet now is very different from when he first came to Taicang.
Ji Xia still clearly remembered that when he was the crown prince, he only had a bowl of rice, a small plate of vegetables, and a small plate of animal meat to eat.
But now, the three maids brought by Guan Xi are all holding a stone plate carved with patterns, and each stone plate has several dishes.
"Your Majesty, everyone in Su Yao has prepared ten dishes for you today.
The pre-dinner snacks include: crispy rice cakes, mille-feuille; meat dishes include smoked pastrami, roasted chicken, and steamed lamb; vegetables include: assorted seven beans, jade mushrooms, and green cabbage green vegetables; Nine vegetarian milk pot. "
Guan Xi placed all the dishes on the table and bowed to Ji Xia.
There are a total of ten dishes, and the best parts are all selected and presented on small plates.
Ji Xia smelled the smell of the dishes, and praised in her heart: "Su Yao's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the delicacies I ate at the banquets I held in Dafu Emperor's Palace were not so delicious."
In fact, according to the current cultivation base and physical strength, as long as he can swallow his spirit energy, he doesn't need food at all.
But Ji Xia is in this world, apart from practicing and handling government affairs, food is his greatest hobby.
So even in his busy schedule, Ji Xia has to eat a meal every day.
Ji Xia also doesn't think it's a waste of time. The whole journey of cultivation is about understanding the mind and not stagnant in the spirit. If you have to give up even such a small hobby, how can you talk about understanding the mind.
He chewed slowly and ate all these dishes, Guan Xi immediately ordered someone to come to clean up.
Ji Xia nodded slightly, thinking: "This is the lord of a country, otherwise the kings of the wild tribes will live better than me, the king of the beginning."
After he ate, he settled down to practice.
He majored in the Jinwu Yuansheng scriptures, and did not divide the levels according to the realm of practice. Now Ji Xia has triple supernatural powers, and he has practiced the first level of the scriptures to the peak.
If he only has the first level of skills, he can still practice forever, but the power and speed of practice are not as good as the second level of skills.
Moreover, each layer of Yuansheng Zhenjing exercises has a special method, and it also comes with extremely powerful supernatural powers.
For example, in the first level of exercises, there is a special method called Spirit Fire Calcination, which casts Ji Xia's golden spirit wheel.
The powerful supernatural power is the Golden Crow Xuanyan finger engraved on the spirit wheel by Ji Xia, its power is extraordinary, stronger than any supernatural power Ji Xia has seen.
Now that the first level of Ji Xia Yuan's holy scriptures has almost been completed, it only needs a little understanding to practice the second level of exercises.
