Chapter 225 Nanling Central Transportation Project
"Xu Fan, what are you doing!"
Yan Shifan, who was already unhappy and angry, immediately started to scold.
Everyone else present also cast a dissatisfied look at Xu Fan.
Just as the Emperor is about to distribute year-end bonuses, you stand up and say you have something to report. What's the matter? Does that make you look bad?
Well, it was mainly this scene that left a psychological shadow on Yan Shifan and others. When they were conferring the title of immortal officials upon everyone, Hai Rui did this and almost caused them to lose their immortal official status.
This time Xu Fan came again, and at the critical juncture of distributing the "year-end bonus". What if something goes wrong, or it affects the distribution of everyone's "year-end bonus"?
Of course, some people felt that Xu Fan's move was a bit sensational and were dissatisfied, while others were quite satisfied with it, such as Hai Rui?
Looking at Xu Fan, a man with a square face, a stiff neck, a righteous expression, and a stubborn temper that refused to admit defeat, Hai Rui seemed to see his own shadow in him.
Yes, the court needs such upright ministers who do not put their own interests first, but put the court's affairs at heart.
Xu Fan, Xu Luqing, very good!
"Since Lord Xu has something to report, then go ahead." Jiajing also stopped giving rewards to everyone, and looked at Xu Fan leisurely, glancing over and motioning him to continue.
Now that the emperor had spoken, everyone could only quiet down and turn their eyes to Xu Fan, waiting for his memorial.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor did not blame him, Xu Fan bowed respectfully.
It's not like he hadn't thought about talking about this matter after bestowing the rewards, but what he proposed this time could be said to be asking the court for money again. If the emperor gave too much reward to everyone, would there be any surplus food?
It would be better to say it in advance and get the "funds" he needs first, and then it will be none of his business after that.
Xu Jie, who was sitting next to his son Xu Fan, slowly raised his head and looked up at his son who now had special abilities and could stand on his own. In his deep eyes, there was relief and a hint of trance.
Over the years, he has maintained contact with his son Xu Fan almost every month, and with the continuous iteration of the Spirit Falcon, its speed has become faster and faster. It only takes half a day to travel from Yingzhou Prefecture to the capital.
It can be said that if you send a letter in the morning, you can receive it in the afternoon.
Xu Fan's growth over the years is almost visible to the naked eye, but Xu Fan seems to have embarked on another path...the path of a capable official.
Since ancient times, there have been countless ministers in the court, but they can generally be classified as wise ministers, good ministers, powerful ministers, lonely ministers and capable ministers.
A wise minister is known for his virtue.
Such ministers not only have outstanding abilities, but also have noble character and are able to serve the country and the emperor loyally.
A wise minister usually takes the world as his responsibility and is committed to the prosperity and stability of the country. For example, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, recruited many wise ministers and created the prosperous situation of the Zhenguan Reign.
A good minister is one who values both ability and loyalty.
Not only are they outstandingly capable and competent in handling various government affairs, but they are also loyal to the country and the emperor and are committed to the long-term stability of the country.
A good minister is similar to a wise minister, but he focuses more on the combination of ability and loyalty. In addition to ability, he also has a bit of blind loyalty?
Powerful ministers control the country's military and political power, and if they encounter a weak monarch, they will even become ministers who threaten the imperial power.
Of course, this does not mean that when the monarch is strong, there will be no powerful ministers in the court. If the monarch is strong, there will also be powerful ministers.
In this way, the powerful ministers will become pawns in the hands of the emperor, looking down on everyone, and the court will become more and more powerful and aggressive.
A powerful official may be a capable official who can govern the country or a person who brings disaster to the country and the people, such as Huo Guang, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, etc.
There are many lone ministers, but they can be roughly divided into two categories: capable lone ministers and incapable lone ministers. The incapable lone ministers are isolated and helpless in the court and even not valued.
Incompetent and isolated officials may be ostracized for their loyalty or be unable to effectively display their talents due to their remote location.
As for capable and independent ministers, they are well versed in the ways of the world, and even intrigues and schemes. These people are smart, but they refuse to go along with the crowd. However, they are the emperor's favorites.
The emperor needs such a lone minister to monitor the court and the world, such as Hai Rui.
There have been many people like Hai Rui in the development of the Ming Dynasty, but only Hai Rui has achieved his current status, because these lone ministers are either talented but not valued, or too rigid and lack tact.
Hai Rui was different. He was quick-witted and extremely upright. Sometimes he did not mind using any means to achieve his goals.
Such a person is the bad guy and troublemaker in the eyes of all the officials in the court, but he is the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand!
The last type is capable ministers.
A capable and talented minister.
This kind of person can handle government affairs effectively and work silently for the emperor and the country.
However, a capable minister is not the same as a loyal minister.
Capable ministers pay more attention to the display of personal abilities and the realization of life goals, such as Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Sheng, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.
This type of person sees self-improvement as a goal.
When using such people, the emperor must put them in the right position, and this position must be consistent with his political ambitions and goals.
In this way, they will work hard until they die!
At this moment, when Xu Jie looked at his son Xu Fan, he saw the shadow of a capable minister.
Xu Fan did not have the brains to be a powerful official. Given the Xu family's situation in the court, he was even less able to be a wise official like a good official who could handle all kinds of government affairs, let alone a lone official.
Therefore, he could only rely on a book called "Records of Immortal Craftsmen" to bring his talent as a craftsman to its fullest.
The emperor naturally saw this clearly, so he placed this minister with the potential to be an capable official in the Ministry of Works.
As for Xu Fan's life goal, in addition to exerting his abilities to the fullest, he also relies on this business to help his father return to the court and re-enter the cabinet!
He can't do anything else, this is all he can do.
Among all types of ministers, only lone ministers and capable ministers cannot enter the cabinet.
As for the current situation and future development of the hall, there is only one kind of minister who can enter the cabinet, and that is the powerful minister!
The emperor is a unique emperor throughout the ages. What he needs in his cabinet is a group of brave and capable ministers. Any one of them can manipulate the mortal dynasty at will!
Xu Jie's mind raced, and he glanced at the cabinet members sitting at the table. In fact, he already had an idea in his mind.
Now is a period of recuperation and stable development for the Ming Dynasty, so the cabinet is naturally calm. However, when the Ming Dynasty enters the third and fourth stages of land reform, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou will have to resign from the cabinet. Among the New Party, only Hu Zongxian can be considered a wolf.
But this wolf is used to maintain balance, and he is also not suitable to stay in the cabinet permanently, so... Thinking of this, Xu Jie lowered his eyebrows, but he knew in his heart that they would still belong to the cabinet in the future.
Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou are undoubtedly famous generals, but they are not suitable for the court after all. When their prestige in the army is sufficient, they can lead the army to expand outward, or even rule the star world.
I think these are the real reasons why the emperor allowed him to join the cabinet. The emperor has such a far-reaching plan that he would not do useless work.
It can only be said that Xu Jie is worthy of being Xu Jie. Although this old fox is not in the court, his keen perception and insight into the court affairs still makes him the top figure in the Ming Dynasty.
While his mind was racing, Xu Fan had already submitted the proposal he had prepared for several years.
"In the past seven years, the Heavy Industry Institute's 'Earth Treasure Wheel' has begun construction in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. In addition, the court's forging industry and firearms technology are also constantly improving..."
"The national policy of 'Xianming Heavy Industry' proposed by me in the 52nd year of Jiajing has been put on the right track. Therefore, I propose to carry out the second phase of development based on 'Xianming Heavy Industry'."
Jiajing took a quick look with his spiritual sense and naturally read the contents of Xu Fan's memorial, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Unexpectedly, this honest and loyal man Xu Fan had the potential to become a pioneer of science in the Ming Dynasty.
"Good, let's all take a look..." Jiajing said, and he activated his spiritual sense to project the contents of the memorial onto the stone table.
In an instant, the golden scroll was spread out, and everyone could see the contents of the memorial.
The first thing that catches your eye is the huge list of names on the music books.
"'The Ming Dynasty's Spiritual Era: Equipment Refining Techniques and Workshop Manufacturing Go Hand in Hand, Proposal for the Spiritual Industrial Era'...hiss!" Yu Dayou read it out word by word, then subconsciously looked at Wang Chonggu beside him. The meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear.
Can you write your real name at such a long length?
As a military officer, thanks to the cooperation between Prince Jing and Prince Yu, he can say that all government affairs and memorials are in the court of Prince Chonggu.
Anyway, it's not much different. After all, the military nowadays is all about development, development, and development, or military supplies and training. The content of the memorials is pitifully small.
Such a long, so... incomprehensible, but shocking name of Kanade, really made him feel like he had opened his eyes.
Compared to Yu Dayou, a low-level military officer, Wang Chonggu was once the Minister of War and a civil servant, so he naturally would not act so naive.
However... this kind of long name was the first time he had seen it. But even if it was the first time he had seen it, he would not show it in front of Yu Dayou. How could a man say that he was not good enough?
"Not bad." Wang Chonggu crossed his hands, leaned back slightly, and did not look at Yu Dayou, with a kind of mysteriousness.
You know what, this really frightened Yu Dayou, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was worthy of being a Beijing official.
Everyone was only slightly surprised by the extremely long title, and then their attention was attracted by the content above.
At the very beginning, there were a few big words written: "A Brief Introduction to the Industrial Age".
Industry? Seeing this familiar word at first glance, people think of many things, such as "craftsmanship"?
Of course, my first reaction is that Xu Fan’s use of one industry and one profession in the name of an era is a bit exaggerated and suspicious.
Of course, Jiajing, who had awakened his memories of later generations, was not unfamiliar with the words "industrial age", but he only had a general understanding of it. After all, in those twenty years of memories, he was just an ordinary person.
The reason why later generations became so developed and powerful is that every country has entered the industrial age.
Those wonderful technologies, organized into schools of "science", summarize the entire human world as scientific civilization.
When Jiajing first learned about it, he was deeply moved. At the same time, he drew inferences from it and naturally understood that if the Ming Dynasty continued to develop, it would inevitably become a "civilization of cultivating immortals"?
As for the "technological civilization", Jiajing, who cultivated immortality, no longer yearned for it. Can technology bring immortality? Obviously not.
At least, as for my memory of my past lives of more than 20 years, there is no such thing as technology increasing my lifespan, and it is not even as good as that of the Qi training stage.
However, as an emperor, he looks at things differently, and "scientific and technological civilization" still has its merits.
For example, industry, powerful equipment, cities like steel forests, electricity, the Internet, etc. are really good for the people.
As for the upper Ming Dynasty, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Isn't the teleportation array faster than airplanes and trains? The higher the quality of the communication jade slip, the more it can transmit sound and even images to the world.
So in comparison, the so-called "scientific and technological civilization" is, well, just a tool to improve people's livelihood.
What he didn't expect was that the four words "industrial age" were first proposed by Xu Fan in the Ming Dynasty.
Jiajing did not find it inappropriate or strange. This school of thought had been proposed by both the predecessors and the later generations of great talents. Why couldn't the Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty be such a talented person?
Not to mention that Xu Fan proposed a seemingly advanced concept and theory, even if one day, with the development of the Ming Dynasty and the exploration and discovery of nature, someone proposed something like the "atomic bomb", which would become a powerful weapon in later generations, it would be normal in Jiajing's view.
In later generations, talented people can lead the times. Why can't we, the Ming Dynasty, have talented people today? The people of the Ming Dynasty are no worse than others!
Jiajing still has this confidence. He keeps polishing his natal object, blessing all living things in the world. Is it difficult for him to become an outstanding genius?
Xu Fan naturally had no idea what his emperor was thinking, so he continued to explain to everyone.
"The so-called 'industry'," Xu Fan said eloquently, presenting the 'industrial age' he had summarized over the years, a new theory that could lead an era and even rank outside the Hundred Schools of Thought, "refers to taking the materials of heaven and earth, using the ingenuity of man, and using machines to assist, to manufacture tools for civilian use or to meet national needs."
"For example, a farmer tills the field to get grain, which is agriculture. A craftsman uses wood, stone, and metal to make utensils and houses, which is industry."
As Xu Fan began to speak, the imperial seal suddenly spun around, cooperating with him and condensing into several little golden men farming on the stone table.
Then, next to the golden fields, people appeared using tools to build houses, and in the blink of an eye, a tribe appeared, followed by a town and a city.
When Xu Fan saw this scene, he cast a grateful look towards Jiajing. Knowing that this was the emperor encouraging him, he became more confident and immediately continued to speak.
“Industries can be classified into light and heavy categories.”
"Minor activities, such as weaving cloth and making porcelain, are necessary for people's livelihood; major activities, such as smelting steel and casting weapons, are the foundation of the country. The two complement each other and are indispensable."
“The development of industry can increase the strength of the people, enrich the country and strengthen the army.”
“The people have no worries about food and clothing because of industry, and the country is becoming stronger because of industry.”
"The above is an overview of the industrial age!" After introducing what industry is to everyone, Xu Fan paused.
At this time, everyone, including Yan Song, realized that the "industry" Xu Fan was talking about was not a simple craftsmanship.
Rather, it is a national policy that starts from a higher level, similar to cultivating immortals, and benefits the entire Ming Dynasty?
However, everyone present was a prudent person and would not jump to conclusions based on a simple industrial overview.
They could all see that Xu Fan must have made sufficient preparations for this. In addition, the emperor must have already used his spiritual sense to look over all the contents above and let everyone see it together. This meant that what Xu Fan was going to report today was not groundless.
For a moment, everyone quieted down and suppressed their thoughts about the "year-end bonus".
If the "Spiritual Energy Industrial Era" proposed by Xu Fan is really approved by the emperor and implemented in the Ming Dynasty, it will be closely related to the interests of everyone present.
"In order to better illustrate my plan, I will divide the spiritual energy industry era into four stages." Xu Fan bowed to Jiajing, then turned his gaze to the scroll on the stone table.
"Agriculture awakening spirit," At this time, as everyone focused their eyes on the scroll, Xu Fan also started to introduce, saying: "This is the first stage of the spiritual energy industrial era." "The main purpose is the spiritual energy enlightenment," Xu Fan paused slightly, first bowed to Jiajing, and then said:
"Initially, my idea was as follows... The Immortal Method would start from the Cabinet and then teach the common people simple methods of spiritual energy cultivation, encouraging farmers to use spiritual energy to improve their lives."
"This move also perfectly fits the current development direction of Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, everyone understood why Xu Fan bowed to Jiajing when he said this.
Because in essence, the interests of the upper class must be guaranteed first, and then the lower class, layer by layer. This involves the construction of the Ming Dynasty's "Tower of Power", and this thing is the will of the emperor!
Everything, as long as it involves the emperor, must be treated with caution and respect. Things like the Tower of Power, which has never been shown in public but is known to the central government and capable people, are generally not allowed to be discussed in public.
Even the slightest involvement, the most superficial one, could be an offense to the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor did not look displeased but instead nodded in encouragement, Xu Fan and Xu Jie both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Song and others, who were most adept at observing people's words and expressions, nodded slightly, without expressing their opinions, but quietly waiting for Xu Fan to continue.
At this time, Xu Fan continued to introduce his ideas to everyone.
In fact, his heart was beating fast with excitement when he thought about riding the wave of the Ming Dynasty's spiritual energy era and ushering in an unprecedented industrial era.
Although he could not deduce and improve the national policies of the Ming Dynasty like the prime minister of the cabinet or people like Zhang Juzheng who had great talent for reform, he had his own way to make the Ming Dynasty stronger.
Moreover, he has a bigger goal in mind, which is to make the Xu family stand up again and help his father return to the cabinet!
"Of course, the premise of everything is to start with a pilot project on a small scale, and this stage has actually ended." When saying this, Xu Fan glanced at his father Xu Jie.
"The Ming Dynasty already has Nanjing City, a natural pilot city, because it is a great city for cultivating immortals."
"With those tens of thousands of cultivators, it can be said that the experiment of the spiritual energy enlightenment stage has matured."
"Based on the information I have collected over the years, the development of Nanjing City perfectly matches the first stage of the 'Aura Industrial Age'."
"Then the next step is to sense and collect spiritual energy."
"As we all know, the source of spiritual energy is the spiritual vein." After Xu Fan finished speaking, Emperor Xi also cooperated on the stone table to form a dynamic three-dimensional picture of the spiritual veins flowing to various places in the mountains and rivers of Daming.
And inside these golden mountains and rivers, transparent spiritual veins run through, and then streams of air seep out from them, penetrating into the soil of the mountains and rivers, then rising, spreading across the mountains and rivers and the land, diffusing in all directions.
A simple and intuitive image of laying the spiritual vein, the spiritual vein infiltrating the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy beginning to appear, and the diffusion is completed.
"And the first step in implementing the 'First Stage of the Spiritual Industrial Era, Agricultural Spiritual Enlightenment' stage is to collect spiritual energy."
"The Immortal Artifact Pavilion is going to forge basic spiritual energy sensing and collection tools, so that ordinary people can use tools to initially sense and collect spiritual energy... The space scroll is mentioned in the 'First Attack of Natural History'."
Jiajing was naturally familiar with the "space scroll".
Those who were present and had participated in helping Jiajing complete the laying of the capital's spiritual veins also saw the space scroll of that year.
"But this item is too valuable, and the materials used to make it may not be available in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, as a second choice, I propose a plan."
"This plan is called 'Nanling Zhongshu'," Xu Fan said, taking a deep breath, "Let the weapon refiners forge a pipeline and add a forbidden magic array to connect it to Nanjing City."
"Then, we will let the spiritual energy be introduced into the farmlands in other parts of Daming through pipelines, and then use the spiritual energy to ripen crops, improve the soil, and increase the yield and quality of crops."
"In this way, the national strength will inevitably rise again."
Xu Fan naturally knew that when the emperor came out of retreat and was discussing politics in Yuxi Palace, he rejected the intention of the military led by the New Party to lay spiritual veins in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
He began to wonder the reason, but who could blame him because his father Xu Jie was standing behind him?
Then he suddenly realized that the emperor did not want the "Tower of Power" to have a leap-level phenomenon, so his "Nanling Zhongshu" plan came into being.
It has long been verified that spiritual energy has an effect on vegetation. Ordinary wild beasts will mutate after absorbing spiritual energy and become pseudo-spiritual beasts.
Ordinary plants and crops, after absorbing spiritual energy, will not become spiritual resources, such as spiritual rice.
However, it can double the original yield of "Golden Grains" of about 12 shi per mu, and 24 shi per mu is no problem.
For example, the other two of the three new grains, the 'sweet potato' with an output of about 70 dan per mu, and the 'yellow taro' with an output of about 50 dan per mu, can both be doubled. The Ming Dynasty's granary will double within one season!
Even though the Ming Dynasty has now entered the Immortal Dynasty, it is still limited to areas such as the court, the capital, and Nanjing City.
The rest of the people are still mortals, and with the population explosion, these ordinary foods will never be eliminated.
Ordinary people are the foundation of a country's development.
Therefore, agriculture must not disappear at any time and must continue to grow and develop.
Coincidentally, the purpose of the "Spiritual Industrial Age" he proposed was to strengthen the Ming Dynasty from the foundation.
"Nanlingzhongshu?" After listening to Xu Fan's introduction, everyone became interested and began to consider the feasibility of this move.
"Tell me, is the policy of 'Southern Spirit and Central Loss' proposed by Mr. Xu feasible?" Jiajing raised his hand, motioning Xu Fan to pause, and then looked at everyone present.
"Your Majesty, I think this is feasible!" At this time, the first person to stand up and speak was Hai Rui.
"Tell me." Jiajing changed into a comfortable sitting position, looked at Hai Rui comfortably, and motioned him to tell him his opinion.
"As Xu Butang said, if this is successful, the people's grain yield per mu will double. With the increase in population the next day, the demand for food will also increase."
"Not only that, the troops of the three major camps and the guards under the command of each military commander will also be increased."
"If the Ming Dynasty reforms its land system and starts the third and fourth stages, the population will probably continue to increase."
“Then there will be a greater demand for food.”
"As for the pipeline, given the current level of refining equipment at Daming Heavy Industry Institute, it shouldn't be a difficult task."
"Therefore, I think this method is feasible!" As the person in charge of Nanjing's political affairs, Hai Rui was naturally qualified to be the first to express his opinion.
And at this moment, Hai Rui began to admire Xu Fan more and more.
Among all the people present, apart from him, perhaps only Xu Fan could put the lower-class mortals first at this moment.
As everyone's cultivation gradually improves and their life levels continue to transform, there will always be people who become increasingly indifferent to mortal life.
Even Hai Rui, who was used to eating spiritual food, would find it hard to swallow mundane food, even the most famous restaurants, which offered delicious dishes and delicacies from land and sea.
This shows that he has gradually become accustomed to the world of immortal cultivators, and his instinct has made him separate himself from the mundane world.
Therefore, even though he is cultivating immortality now, he will still take his whole family to eat ordinary grains from time to time, to remind himself all the time that he was a mortal when he came here, and he must also keep in mind the heart of a mortal when he goes!
If he has to do this, what about those high-level officials who have always lived a life of luxury and do not even treat the lower-class people as human beings?
Hai Rui would naturally be the first to support such a good thing that benefits the country and the people and truly cares about the interests of ordinary people.
Others, such as Yan Song and others, listened to these words, thought about it, and felt that it did not conflict with their own interests.
Moreover, if the "Nanling Zhongshu" policy is implemented throughout the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the performance of local officials will be improved, and the factions and families behind them will also rise. Well, that's a good thing!
Even people like Yan Shifan thought of something deeper.
For example, once the spiritual energy of Nanjing is transported to the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being used to strengthen the spiritual energy of farmland, the remaining can also be used to allow one's own faction and the families of officials who have obtained immortal magic to begin practicing.
Although there is suspicion of embezzlement of spiritual energy, if it is handled properly and does not affect food production, it will not be a big deal.
Isn't any wealth accumulated bit by bit from nothing? The same is true for spiritual energy. Let those officials slowly get in touch with the practice first. One step faster will always be faster.
Small amounts add up to a lot, and when they develop into something big in the future, it can be incredible.
Well, there are many people present who think about this deeper chain of interests.
"In that case, let's vote by raising our hands." Jiajing naturally had no idea what everyone was thinking, and looked at everyone with a slightly relaxed expression.
Then everyone raised their hands.
Firstly, it will not harm the interests of his own faction, and he can even profit from it. Secondly, the emperor has been tempted, so how can he not support it?
Xu Fan was not surprised to see that the first step of the "Age of Farming Spiritual Awakening" he proposed was recognized by everyone.
He had been preparing for several years and naturally took all aspects into consideration. For the people present, as long as it did not affect their interests, everything would be fine.
For example, the "Xianming Heavy Industry" that he had proposed before, once it develops, these people will be the ones who will benefit in the end.
Therefore these people have no reason to stop themselves.
"The second stage," Xu Fan suppressed his thoughts and continued at Jiajing's suggestion, "The embryonic stage of the spiritual energy industry."
Those who already understood what the industrial age was naturally understood the meaning of this second stage instantly.
"With the 'Southern Spiritual Transmission' project, the spiritual energy transported through these pipelines can be transported to the entire territory of Ming!"
"Then, through this transported spiritual energy, we will prepare to build an industrial base, such as setting up a 'gas filling station'."
"As the name suggests, it provides a constant supply of spiritual energy to things that need spiritual energy as a power source."
"For example, the use of the 'Earth Treasure Wheel' forged by my Ming Dynasty, which is specially used for mining mineral veins, digging canals, and flattening mountains."
"Once successful, whenever the Earth Wheel runs out of spiritual energy, you can refill it at various 'gas stations'."
"In this way, the entire territory of Ming Dynasty can use the 'Earth Treasure Wheel' to cultivate more farmland and dig mountains and mineral veins."
As Xu Fan continued his narration, Di Xi also wisely constructed a three-dimensional "model diagram" on the stone table.
On an unfolded golden map of the Ming Dynasty, with Nanjing city as the starting point, a huge pipeline is connected.
Then when arriving at the Daming Fudi, even starting from the capital, there is also a pipeline connection, and then they converge at the central location.
Afterwards, a "※" mesh pattern and a multi-interface pipeline network were formed, and the pipeline began to be transported towards the entire Ming Dynasty.
Then, one square "spiritual energy filling stations" appeared after another on the land of Daming.
The "Treasure Wheels of the Earth" roared one after another, each with different models and sizes and used for opening mountains, building roads and digging rivers.
"Boom." In the simulation map provided by Emperor Xi, huge mountains were flattened one after another.
Then, cities and farmlands appeared.
Looking down at this exhilarating and rapidly developing scene, everyone present couldn't help but smile.
Because they knew that this scene was not made up by Di Xi, but according to what Xu Fan said, once the "Southern Air Transmission" was successful, this scene before their eyes would soon be realized.
And the interests of all parties will increase accordingly.
For a moment, everyone's eyes towards Xu Fan softened.
This person will benefit everyone!
Even Yan Shifan couldn't help but nod slightly to express his affirmation to Xu Fan.
What is the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty as it enters the era of cultivating immortals? Talent!
Especially people like Xu Fan, who only know how to work hard, but the final results benefit everyone.
This is simply... so adorable!
"Not only that," Xu Fan, who was honest and loyal, smiled and continued, "Based on the 'Southern Spiritual Transmission' project, we can also open a spiritual energy workshop..."
At this moment, Xu Fan was like an entrepreneur who was presenting his "product" plan in front of all the "investors" and trying his best to obtain "investment".
Well, he had prepared too many visions about the "Aura Industrial Age". The most important thing was that none of these plans required too much investment in the early stages, because the emergence of Nanjing, a great city for cultivating immortals, had paved the way for him to start the "Aura Industrial Age".
The core of everything is the "Nanlingzhongshu" project!
Precisely because it does not require upfront investment, it will naturally not affect the interests of all parties. Once successful, it will even provide huge benefits and political achievements to all parties.
He had everything planned out, so he wasn't afraid that these people would disagree.
"The Ming Dynasty's Spiritual Era: Equipment Refining Techniques and Workshop Manufacturing Go Hand in Hand, a Proposal for the Spiritual Industrial Era", he is determined to get it!
As for the need to send more monks to the 'one pavilion and two academies' and increase immortal salaries before the plan is implemented, I believe they will agree, right?
"..."
Everyone, in the new month, please give me some monthly tickets, don't make the data too ugly, thank you~~~
