The Qiong room was very depressing. Di Xin was sitting on the throne without showing a smile. Su Hu just knelt in front of him and had no intention of getting up.
Shen Gongbao, dressed in a dark flower robe, walked into Qiong's room and saw Su Hu kneeling.
He smiled softly, looked at the human king, and began to speak.
"Shen Gongbao, a second-generation disciple of the original sect of Chanjiao, is also known as the Lord of the Human Race."
Unlike Jiang Shang who concealed everything, Shen Gongbao was much more high-profile. His thin appearance, combined with his unique temperament and his exposed identity, made Di Xin's pupils shrink immediately.
At this time, Shen Gongbao was no longer hiding anything, and looked like he was aloof and powerful, which immediately made it difficult for Di Xin to take action.
"It turns out we are from a famous family. I'm glad to meet you! I'd like to offer you a seat!"
Di Xin, who had long been accustomed to seeing these Qi refiners, showed no expression other than surprise.
Shen Gongbao did not look at Su Hu who was kneeling next to him, but sat carelessly on the soft cushion with a smile on his face.
"Human King, Pindao came down from the mountain this time to assist the king, but I don't know what the king wants?"
Shen Gongbao completely broke the traditional rules for Qi practitioners to enjoy wealth and honor in the world, and asked directly from the King of Humans. You must know that whether it is to explain the teachings or to intercept the teachings, if you want to serve, you must first be recommended by the powerful people of the human race, and then the King of Humans invites you.
And according to his ability, he was placed in a suitable position. Even Taishi Wen Zhong enjoyed a high status in the court step by step.
Shen Gongbao had previously approached Zhu Peiniang for this right of recommendation, but the king was disgusted. Although Shang Rong was by his side, Emperor Xin refused to conquer, so the conquest was in vain.
It stands to reason that Shen Gongbao can still get an official position if he goes through formal channels, such as finding the representative of Chanjiao, Si Tiantai Du Yuanxian.
It's just that Shen Gongbao didn't play his cards according to common sense. He first asked Su Hu to seduce Di Xin, and then directly came out to ask for an official position. This was obviously against him.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Shen lives in a famous mountain, and everything he thinks is determined by heaven, which makes me envious. Since Fellow Daoist Shen is willing to assist me, please come and bring me the imperial decree."
When Shen Gongbao heard the decree, his pupils suddenly shrank and he wanted to refuse, but it was too late.
Emperor Xin brought a blank edict and wrote it down with cinnabar.
"I order Shen Gongbao to be the Yin of the Royal Palace, and I admire this!"
Di Xin threw away the big pen and stamped it with the black bird seal. Suddenly, a ray of national destiny was directly injected into Shen Gongbao's eyebrows.
Palace Yin is an official position reserved for the king to inquire at any time. It is also a type of internal service official. The official position is not big, but it is very prestigious. Legend has it that the famous minister Yi Yin held this position before.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Now that things have happened, Shen Gongbao can only hand over his hand, which is regarded as recognition.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It's just that although this palace prince has a noble status, he has no real power. It's obvious that the king is deeply wary of him.
[Due to obtaining the official position, Shen Gongbao’s loyalty increased to 10%, and the national fortune and Yin merchants shared 1%]
The instability of the national destiny immediately frightened Emperor Xin. Fortunately, Shen Gongbao was not negative now, and the overall national destiny remained unchanged. However, Shen Gongbao's national destiny was shared with the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Obviously, this was a borrowing of luck and a forced connection with it.
"What a vicious exposition!"
Emperor Xin secretly resented that Shen Gongbao was forcibly connected to the destiny of the country, and as Shen Gongbao's loyalty increased, the proportion of this sharing would become higher and higher. Killing him at the wrong time would cause the Yin Shang to lose most of it. Sure enough, a
A good deal.
There was never a moment when Emperor Xin did not want his ministers to increase their loyalty, but now Shen Gongbao did it.
But now that Chan teaches playing chess, Di Xin will follow suit.
…
"Your Majesty, Su Hu has been kneeling for a long time."
Shen Gongbao looked at Su Hu who had been kneeling for a long time and said bluntly.
"Let him kneel down and let him give away those pigs!"
When mentioning those pigs, Di Xin became very angry.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Su did this because I taught him to do it. This is also for the sake of Your Majesty."
After saying this, Shen Gongbao actually looked proud.
"Oh? I hope Mr. Shen will explain the reason."
Emperor Xin smiled and looked at the newly appointed Palace Yin in front of him to see what he could say.
"I have three strategies for prosperity and strength, and I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at them!"
"Oh? Submit it!"
Shen Gongbao also knew that he had to bring something out, otherwise how could he gain a foothold in front of the human king.
Di Xin opened the three strategies, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, for one, build Chidao with Chaoge as the center."
Due to the backwardness of productivity, the actual control of the Yin Shang was very small. They only occupied the prosperous Central Plains area. However, the Yellow River flooded every year, leaving many people homeless. Even the capital was relocated several times. This is related to the Yellow River.
Inseparable.
It was precisely because they were too busy to take care of themselves that the four princes were needed to guard the four directions. However, kings in the past generations all defended the passes along the way with heavy troops, like a country within a country, isolating the entire prosperous Central Plains.
There are no border battles, and at the same time, the most food can be grown. This is like an ostrich. It is only a matter of time before the Sifang Bohou becomes bigger.
Di Xin has cement in his hands, so building Chidao is a top priority. Whether it is launching a war or ruling the surrounding areas, it has a powerful role.
Looking at Shen Gongbao who was chatting hurriedly, Di Xin asked, "Why do you know about cement?"
Cement was a top secret in the palace, and even Su Hu didn't know about it. However, Shen Gongbao, who had just arrived, actually mentioned cement in his policy statement, which had to attract Di Xin's attention.
Shen Gongbao was not in a hurry, but took a letter and gave it to Di Xin.
This letter is a home letter, written by Master Wen to his wife Zhu Peiniang. In the letter, he praised Emperor Xin for bringing some special products and introduced two things, one of which was cement.
"I heard that Taishi knew everything!"
This was meant to be private, but such an important thing actually appeared in the family book, which immediately aroused Emperor Xin's dissatisfaction.
Shen Gongbao divided the world into nine strips, extending in all directions, taking the meaning of Jiuzhou.
"If we build Chidao, it may lead to civil unrest."
How could Emperor Xin not know the benefits of building Chidao? Even if there is a sharp tool like cement, if hundreds of thousands of people are mobilized, even if there is money to open the road, it may still cause a civil uprising.
"This is my second policy, which is to open up wasteland!"
Shen Gongbao's second strategy was to open up wasteland. All human beings, regardless of whether they were slaves before, could claim a piece of wasteland.
The Central Plains region is rich and prosperous, but there are still large areas of mountains, swamps, and lakes. These are all unclaimed lands, and there are even many that have become hunting grounds for nobles.
Even the nobles did not want these ownerless lands. It was better to let the vast number of landless slaves cultivate them.
"I have measured the mountains and rivers. If they are fully cultivated, they will be able to feed a million people."
"Um?"
Even Emperor Xin couldn't help but be shocked at this time. You must know that the real combat power of this era is not other things, but population. Whoever has population will be the master of the world.
The reason why the four princes are rebellious is because of the population. Now as long as this land reclamation order is issued, the effect will be absolutely earth-shattering.
