After Jiang Li finished sighing in the imperial garden, he straightened up his mood and walked towards the imperial dining room.

Although it was said that the Great Summer Palace was really deserted, Jiang Li did not change his mind and did not even plan to recruit any maids.

If it's deserted, let it continue to be deserted.

Keeping yourself safe is the most important thing, and other things can be put aside.

So the strong are all lonely?

Jiang Li suddenly heard this sentence in his mind, and then shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Thinking about these things was a complete waste of time.

Of no use.

Imperial dining room.

When Jiang Li arrived here, he smelled the aroma of porridge. He opened the door of the imperial dining room and saw Du Xiaohua busy cooking porridge.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Du Xiaohua turned around and saw Jiang Li, and suddenly became confused.

"fine."

Jiang Li smiled, and he suddenly realized that the only one who could really be with him all the time was Du Xiaohua, the maid that Ma Han bought for ten taels of silver. "I just came here to take a look, are you used to being alone?"

Really? Do you want to find a few people to help you?"

"No... no need."

Du Xiaohua shook her head, "Your Majesty's daily life can be taken care of by me alone. I don't need help from others. I can do it by myself."

"OK."

Jiang Li nodded.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the porridge will be ready soon."

Du Xiaohuadao.

"good."

Jiang Li nodded again.

…

Qinglong Hall.

Early morning.

Jiang Li sat on the dragon chair.

below.

Hong Tianqi, Han Liqi and others reported their mission status to Jiang Li one after another.

Steel is already being collected in an intensified manner, and the national policy of growing medicinal materials and elixirs is also being implemented and promoted.

only.

Hong Tianqi's acquisition of 'steel' went very smoothly. After all, Hong Tianqi had real money and silver in his hands, and with the support of the princes and city lords of various counties, he naturally acquired a large amount of steel materials.

It is estimated that it will take less than seven days to meet the demand for building a 'legion base'.

However.

The policy of planting ‘medicinal materials and elixirs’ across the country has not been promoted smoothly.

The reason is simple.

The cultivation of medicinal materials and elixirs required a lot of manpower, material resources and time. In addition, the Daxia Dynasty had just been established and its prestige in the hearts of the people across the country was insufficient.

In other words.

People across the country are worried that they have spent a lot of effort and labor to grow medicinal materials and elixirs. What if they cannot sell them? What if they are purchased at a low price?

To know.

This is grown nationwide.

The first batch of mature medicinal materials and elixirs will be a huge number. Who can eat such a large number of medicinal materials and elixirs except the imperial court?

Although.

The Daxia court made a promise to purchase it at the original price.

But what will happen when the court breaks its promise?

Or what should we do if the Daxia Dynasty is occupied by the Daqian Dynasty?

This is not impossible.

besides.

The cultivation of medicinal materials and elixirs is not an easy task. Various natural and man-made disasters are likely to occur, resulting in the destruction of the cultivated medicinal materials.

There are too many worries.

So.

In the eyes of the people across the country, cultivating medicinal fields and growing elixirs is not as good as growing food. At the very least, even if the food cannot be sold, it can be accumulated naturally and they will not starve to death.

"Han Liqi, do you have any good solutions on how to better implement the policy of medicinal plant cultivation?"

Jiang Li suddenly asked.

"this……"

Han Liqi and the others looked at each other.

"His Majesty."

Wu Zong took a step forward, saluted Jiang Li, and then said: "Currently, the reason why this policy is difficult to implement is mainly because people across the country are worried that the medicinal materials and elixirs grown cannot be sold, or are purchased at low prices, resulting in They lost all their money and starved to death on the streets.”

"This kind of worry is difficult to resolve in a short period of time. Only after the first batch of medicinal materials matures and the imperial court purchases them all at the original price can the imperial court's prestige be established in the hearts of the people across the country."

"This takes time."

"In addition, the people in the country are also worried that Daxia will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Daqian Dynasty, and Daxia will eventually be occupied by the Daqian Dynasty."

"All in all, I just can't trust the Daxia Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I believe that this kind of thing cannot be rushed and needs time to transition slowly."

Han Liqi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Pang Kui nodded and said: "For now, at least all the cities and villages in Daxia County have begun to cultivate medicinal fields."

"Jinwang County has also started."

"I believe that within a few years, it will be grown nationwide."

"But I don't have the patience."

Jiang Lidao.

"this……"

Han Liqi and the others lowered their heads.

"Xu Ya."

Jiang Lidao.

"I'm here."

Xu Ya salutes.

"Preaching Gu's will."

Jiang Li said: "All the princes and city lords in the Great Xia Dynasty must fully cooperate and support the policy of reclaiming medicinal fields. For those people who are unwilling to reclaim medicinal fields and plant medicinal materials and elixirs, we will dispatch the army and directly use them to cultivate medicinal fields." They used force to suppress them and forced them to cultivate medicinal fields and plant medicinal materials and elixirs."

"If you are still unwilling, disobey the will and kill them on the spot to serve as a warning to others."

"this……"

"Your Majesty, this is not good."

"It will cause public resentment."

"It is very likely that civilian riots will occur!"

Han Liqi, Hong Tianqi and others said one after another.

"Public dissatisfaction? Riots?"

Jiang Li glanced at Han Liqi and the others, "Since they are unwilling to obey Gu's will and cannot create value, what's the use of keeping them? Disobedient people are worse than demon slaves and barbarian slaves."

"At the very least, demon slaves and barbarian slaves cannot disobey any orders of the 'contract master'."

"besides."

Jiang Li said again: "Tell Jin Muyan and the others that if Gu finds that even one village in the county they manage has not cultivated medicinal fields, let them come to see you."
