Xuan Ming thought to himself.
He now had a major client for elixirs.
However, the raw materials were far from sufficient.
This was naturally unacceptable!
“The extra-territorial worlds once ruled by the Southern Demon Domain have not been touched for a thousand years. They should contain many medicinal herbs, even some divine medicines. Now that Sword Saint and Wuming have advanced to the God-Demon realm, and the Saint-realm legions have emerged, it’s time to initiate extraterritorial warfare.”
“Also, the Azure Domain, with its thirty thousand years of heritage, must have considerable reserves of medicinal herbs. They can be collected, along with the civilizations surrounding the Azure Domain!”
Xuan Ming stroked his chin as he thought.
In an instant, Xuan Ming devised multiple methods to gather medicinal herbs.
“Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Personnel request an audience.”
The palace guard carefully stepped forward to report.
“Let them in.” Xuan Ming was slightly surprised, but in an instant, he realized their intentions.
As three of the most important officials in the court, such a major change in the Southern Continent...
The memorials submitted from all over the imperial dynasty were probably piled up like mountains.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the three ministers not to come.
The palace guard retreated, and soon the figures of the three ministers appeared in the Xuanhuang Hall.
Coincidentally, they all noticed the existence of Lingmu.
Each of them revealed a look of astonishment.
The vitality emanating from Lingmu's body was something they had never seen in their lives. Coupled with the faint but terrifying pressure in his body, this silver-haired old man was definitely not an ordinary person!
“Could this person also be a member of the mysterious organization controlled by His Majesty?”
The three ministers were shocked.
Naturally, after discovering traces of civilization north of Kaiyang County.
The three ministers, and even other court officials, realized that His Majesty controlled a powerful force behind the scenes.
Although the three ministers did not dare to investigate, the orders issued by the Emperor during these days, as well as the memorials reported from some regions, allowed the three ministers to vaguely determine several locations.
One was the Tianlu Forest! The other was Bianlang County!
The figures stationed in these two places were absolutely terrifying.
Because, before this, they had found that a large number of ferocious beasts around the Wanyao Mountains wanted to invade the Southern Continent.
However, only Kaiyang in Beixu Prefecture and Nanjiang and other counties in Nanzhao Prefecture reported beast riots.
Tianlu Forest and Bianlang County had always been safe and sound.
According to the memorials submitted by the county governors of the two places, the ferocious beasts in that area seemed to be deterred by some kind of force, and were confined to the mountains and forests, making them realize that there must be something powerful existing in these two regions.
As for what it was.
According to their observations during this period.
There was no need to say more.
The peace behind these two places must have His Majesty's figure.
And now, they saw Lingmu.
They instantly realized Lingmu's extraordinary nature!
............
Mwah, mwah, ask for gifts, baby.
Chapter 120: Establishing the Pill God Hall, Assessing the Three Ministers
............
“Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects.”
The three ministers retracted their minds from Lingmu, took a deep breath, and respectfully saluted.
“Rise.” Xuan Ming said slightly.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The three ministers stood up.
As soon as he got up, the Minister of Revenue immediately stepped forward to report:
“Your Majesty, memorials from all over the five prefectures of the imperial dynasty state that thunderous phenomena have appeared in various counties. After a spiritual rain, the spiritual energy is abundant, and spiritual mist has appeared in a few areas, shocking the world.”
“After the spiritual rain, strange events occurred everywhere. More than half of the martial artists who have been trapped in bottlenecks for a long time have broken through to new realms. In addition, some elderly people have begun to rejuvenate after absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual rain.”
“Many people have reported that their old uncles, who have been paralyzed in bed for many years, suddenly leaped over eaves and walls after the spiritual rain and have disappeared to this day...”
The Minister of Revenue told all the things reported from the localities.
They already knew through the Emperor's image in the sky.
The Southern Continent's changes were led by His Majesty.
They must know some of the results after the changes.
But as court officials of the imperial dynasty, they needed to fulfill their duties, explaining to His Majesty the changes in each prefecture and county, so that His Majesty could clearly grasp the situation in various parts of the imperial dynasty.
“Your Majesty, after the spiritual energy of the Southern Continent is revived, the number of martial artists in various places will inevitably increase. In the past, the power of the local government could still suppress them, but after a long time, some turmoil will inevitably occur in various places. It is necessary to suppress the Jianghu forces that may be turbulent in advance...” The Minister of War reported.
“Your Majesty...” The Minister of Personnel reported.
Xuan Ming sat on the dragon chair, listening quietly.
“I have already considered what you have said.”
“Since the number of martial artists has increased after the spiritual energy in the Southern Continent is revived, then first improve the strength of the imperial court and local government officials, so as to stabilize the imperial dynasty.”
“As for how to improve, from now on, add two items to the salaries of court officials, local government officials, and military generals!”
“The first item is to distribute the corresponding elixir for improving cultivation according to the realm of those under the control of the imperial dynasty, with a quota of ten pills per month!”
“And the second item is to uniformly distribute a cultivation method called 'Earth Origin God-Demon Art'!”
Xuan Ming pondered slightly and ordered.
The revival of the spiritual energy in the Southern Continent was the first step in his plan to promote martial arts among all people and improve the imperial dynasty's martial arts.
This time, not improving the foundation of the imperial dynasty's official personnel first.
In Xuan Ming's view, it was not a problem.
Before the spiritual energy was revived.
The strength of the local governments in various parts of the imperial dynasty was not bad.
This time, improving the spiritual quality of the Southern Continent only improved the Southern Continent by several levels on the original basis.
In essence, the gap between the imperial dynasty's official personnel and the Jianghu forces was still there, but the speed of bridging the gap may be faster.
But the premise of this speed was that Xuan Ming did not interfere in the evolution of the localities.
Now, increasing the salaries of official personnel.
Whether it was the ten corresponding elixirs per month or the Earth Origin God-Demon Art, they were all cheat codes for official personnel to lead Jianghu forces, or even overtake in certain areas.
The Earth Origin God-Demon Art was obtained from Hengyu Heavenly God's lifelong inheritance, and it was a perfect earth-god realm extreme cultivation method.
This was several levels stronger than the Martial Dao Divine Canon, which was being prepared and ready to promote martial arts among all people.
In the future, even if the Martial Dao Divine Canon was distributed to any region of the imperial dynasty.
The benefits of official personnel far exceeded those of civilians.
In this way, it could also attract some martial artists among the civilians.
Voluntarily join the imperial dynasty's official system, or become a member of the army.
“This...” The three ministers looked at each other, their pupils shrinking.
Xuan Ming's words shocked them.
The second item, the Earth Origin God-Demon Art, was obviously a god-demon level cultivation method.
Although they were shocked, since His Majesty had spoken, he must be able to take it out.
But the first item, adding ten elixirs for corresponding cultivation to the salaries of official personnel every month, made them frown slightly.
You must know that the imperial dynasty's elixir industry was not developed.
The elixir production of folk alchemists and imperial dynasty alchemists combined was only about ten to twenty million pills a year.
This seemed like a lot, but that was spread out over the whole year.
But what His Majesty said was to add ten elixir salaries to each person every month!
This was completely disproportionate.
Although the entire imperial dynasty suffered heavy casualties in the beast disaster a hundred years ago, there were still two to three billion people. Among these two to three billion people, there were about several million people who were official personnel of the imperial dynasty, plus the armies and military generals in various places, the number was even greater.
Even if the entire year's elixir supply was distributed to these personnel for one month, it would not be enough.
Not to mention, the cultivation levels among them were uneven.
Houtian, Xiantian, and semi-saints all existed!
Once this imperial dynasty official welfare system was activated.
I am afraid that within a month, the entire imperial dynasty would be unable to make ends meet and drag down the development of the imperial dynasty.
And if there was no supply later, the officials of the world might not have any reaction.
But it would definitely cause serious damage to the prestige of the Emperor and the imperial court.
“Your Majesty, this elixir matter...” The Minister of Revenue thought for a long time, and did not think of what method the Emperor would use, and could not help but ask in confusion.
“It is normal for you to be familiar with all walks of life in the imperial dynasty and have some doubts about what I said.” Xuan Ming nodded. In the past, the Shenxuan imperial dynasty had a weak foundation, and many places were simply not enough to support the changes, such as the elixir industry.
Alchemists were a scarce orthodoxy throughout the entire Tianxu Realm.
Not to mention the Shenxuan imperial dynasty.
