Chapter 54
Mo Zizai has an accelerator in his hand, and he is confident that he will cultivate an invincible army in the future. In addition, the growing intelligence agency of the Yuzhisi, even in the Little Ice Age, Mo Zizai feels that there should be no problem for him to preserve the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But what he had to do was not only to protect the Great Zhou, but also to protect the people of the Great Zhou.
In his previous life, he had roughly checked the materials from the Little Ice Age for writing reasons. What impressed him the most was that the population of the first three Little Ice Ages dropped sharply by 80%. The fourth time occurred in the late Ming Dynasty. The situation was relatively better, but he also lost 50% of the population.
The current population of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about 40 million. Even if it is optimistic, Mo Zizai can suppress the war and minimize the losses of disasters. However, due to the significant reduction in grain production, the Great Zhou Dynasty will still lose more than 20% of the population.
Twenty percent means eight million people will die, which is already more than the total population of many small countries that Mo Zizai knew in his previous life.
"If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world."
Mo Zizai let out a sigh of relief. As half of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was already the highest-ranking person. There was no reason to watch the eight million subjects under his rule froze to death and starve to death.
"Sure enough, being an emperor is not a good job."
I thought that I could be a free prince, but I would be a cruel official who would do whatever I want. I never expected that I would help the country to manage disasters.
It seems that his father is really foresighted. He named him Mo Zizai, but he really didn't have the wrong name. He shouldn't think about being at ease before the Little Ice Age was completed.
Mo Zizai found a stool and sat down, and began to recall in his mind about the information he had read about Xiao Binghe in his previous life.
The Little Ice Age brings not only severe cold, but also seven other common natural disasters, such as earthquakes, droughts, locust plagues, etc. So the first thing Mo Zizai has to do is to find ways to deal with these natural disasters.
Secondly, it is to store grain. Before the worst cold disaster has arrived, stock up as much as possible, the more the better.
Finally, this disaster will definitely not be targeted only in the Great Zhou country, and other countries will definitely have disasters. If it were just Wei, Lu, and Zheng, it wouldn't matter. If there was a disaster, they would definitely fall into civil strife.
But the problem is that there is another barbarian in the north. They are serious nomadic peoples and have always been used to robbing them if they don’t have food, so there is a high possibility of a war with them at that time.
In addition to these, there are also foreign races in the Western Frontier. However, the Great Zhou piled up troops there every year to strengthen defense, so there is no need to worry about it.
After confirming his ideas, Mo Zizai quickly had a rough plan in his mind, but he had to discuss the specifics with his wife. In terms of the overall situation, Tang Weiyi, as the empress, is much better than him.
As soon as Mo Zizai opened his eyes, he saw the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Prison standing in front of him in a daze, and his whole body seemed to have grown a lot older.
"Supervisor, what's wrong with you?"
"Prince, is the disaster really coming?"
As the one who understands the most in this era except Mo Zizai, Ni Zushou knows more than anyone what this disaster means, so he is in a panic now.
"The supervisor doesn't have to worry too much. You can observe the weather with peace of mind. If you can predict when the coldest season will come, it will be a great achievement."
Mo Zizai spoke and comforted him: "As for this disaster, Your Majesty and I will deal with it."
After instructing the supervisor not to leak the matter, Mo Zizai took Zhou Qi away from the imperial prison and headed straight to Shangyang Palace.
In Shangyang Palace, Tang Weiyi had not come back from get off work. Although the court meeting was over, Tang Weiyi still needed to discuss with the cabinet and finalize all the details of the matter. Therefore, Mei Shuying was the only one in Shangyang Palace at this time.
"I've seen the prince."
When Mei Shuying saw Mo Zizai now, although her attitude was a little better, she was still very cold, making Mo Zizai a little confused.
I have never seen her before, let alone offend her, so why did she have such a big prejudice against herself?
However, although Mei Shuying's attitude is cold, she is impeccable in terms of etiquette, so Mo Zizai is also very rude. For the past three years, Mei Shuying has been taking care of Tang Weiyi's daily life. He can't just cause trouble for Mei Shuying's bad attitude.
"No gift, take me to Shangyang Palace."
"Yes, Prince."
Mei Shuying, wearing a palace outfit, is tall. After she stands up, she is only a little lower than Mo Zizai. According to Mo Zizai's visual observation, the lowest height of this woman must be around 175.
The most important thing is because of his height advantage. Mei Shuying's legs are slender and slender, and her figure is quite well-proportioned. In her previous life, if Mo Zizai had sisters Tang Weiyi now, he would have guaranteed that he could play with these legs for the rest of his life.
However, although Mo Zizai is not very loyal in terms of feelings, he is not a scumbag. Since he has sisters Tang Weiyi, he doesn’t have much thoughts about Mei Shuying, and just observe it with an appreciation attitude.
After all, everyone has a love for beauty, but if you want one, you will be a bit of a bastard.
After arriving at Shangyang Palace, Mei Shuying personally opened the palace gate for Mo Zizai, and then said, "Prince, the things you asked Chen Ying to send you before have been placed in it as you told me."
"Yeah, OK."
Mo Zizai nodded and said, "Take everyone away, I'll stay here for a while."
"Yes, Prince."
Because of the orders of the empress, Mo Zizai's status in the palace was almost the same as that of the empress, Mei Shuying directly withdrew all the maids without any hesitation.
Originally, she was with the Empress in the cabinet, but this time she came out to get food for the empress to go to the kitchen and get something. If she hadn't happened to meet Mo Zizai, she would have already brought the meal to the cabinet with her.
After they all went out, Mo Zizai came directly to the things Chen Ying gave him.
There were more than a dozen large boxes, full of gold.
When Mo Zizai asked Chen Ying to search the house before, he secretly told him that if the amount of money was too much, he would let him lose some of it.
After all, his accelerator needs to be upgraded. If the money is entered into the treasury, it will be difficult to withdraw it again.
[Current VIP level 2, do you choose to increase the VIP level?]
"promote!"
"promote!"
Mo Zizai increased twice in a row, and the VIP level suddenly changed from level 2 to level 4, and the accelerator speed increased from five times the original to twenty times.
The price was that the gold in more than a dozen boxes was almost empty, leaving only the gold in the last two boxes not taken away by the accelerator.
The gold that Chen Yingmei has dropped is worth a total of 3 million taels of silver. Now Mo Zizai has used 2.5 million taels to upgrade the accelerator, and the remaining 500,000 taels, he plans to hand it over to Zhou Qi to use this money to strengthen Yuzhishi's intelligence power.
No matter what era, intelligence is the top priority. As long as the intelligence work is in place, no matter what Mo Zizai wants to do, it will be much easier.
PS: I plan to fix the update time. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be updated at 5 pm in the future.
