My golden finger is delicious

Chapter 130 Happy Song Dynasty

130

The first year of Divine Blessing begins.

For the people living in the entire Song Dynasty, it was really the beginning of heaven.

The bright future visible to the naked eye is laid at your feet.

Yanyun Sixteen States got it back.

The threat of Daliao still exists, and there are natural dangers that can be defended, so the investment of troops is not so urgent.

A large portion of the money consumed in the military budget budget can be diverted to domestic development of people's livelihood.

Plus war reparations.

A large amount of money fell from the sky, which made the Minister of Household Affairs burst into tears, and he almost passed away.

After the chaos of the war and the rescue, the minister of household affairs politely persuaded the officials and family members to withdraw.

He held on to his official seal and refused to give up.

"I know that I am getting old, my eyesight is dazzled, and my body is no longer strong, but I must let the veteran preside over a tax reduction!"

For a wise king, being able to reduce taxes during his term is an achievement that will last forever.

The same goes for famous ministers.

There is one sentence that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has not said: He has been "poor" all his life, so please let him spend his money vigorously.

Official: ...Okay, okay.

So the people happily held the extra money and food in their hands.

Listening in disbelief to his parents' announcement.

Here we need to build official schools, build water canals, build granaries, build roads, etc.

What? Corvee?

hehe.

Give money!

Seeing the shocked and disbelieving eyes of the people, the county magistrates did not show any concern.

"If you have leisure time in farming, are skilled in crafts, or have many people, please come to the Yamen to sign up when the time comes. The price... I guarantee that this amount will be available."

Listening to the cheers like a tsunami in my ears.

Look at the happy faces in front of you.

The parents and officials who announced these benefits, regardless of whether they were honest or competent, felt a sense of pride and happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, no matter whether it is common people, officials, or servants, the smiles on their faces are the same.

Everyone wants a better life, right?

However, tax cuts and policy commitments are only the beginning.

The focus is on the back

The grain brought out by Wu Ding has been grown for a year.

It’s ready for trial promotion.

It can be said that the official confidence in the promotion of new species is overwhelming.

It is a high-quality and high-yielding variety, bred in the world of mountains and seas.

For some ancient people who were satisfied with just one or two hundred pounds.

Whatever it is, it’s a harvest that’s easy to get heartbroken.

The current number is not enough to roll out one-time replacement across the country.

But large-scale trial planting is no longer a problem.

The government decree was issued, and each village arranged at least one piece of land to test the planting of God-given seeds.

There is no need to wait for the seeds to fully mature.

The germination rate and heading rate alone are enough to make experienced farmers feel prosperous and in a trance, feeling that their fields have been cultivated all their lives.

Ask, if every acre of land is planted with such improved seeds, what will be the consequences?

The simple old farmers calculated hard.

The final conclusion is.

After paying the tax, they had enough food left over to feed their whole family for every meal, for a whole year, and enough to fill a barn at home!

Eat until you’re full! ! !

What a word that makes people feel happy.

Such a good thing will happen next year, or the year after at most! !

Every household will have such a divine seed!

Can every household have enough to eat? !

People with quick minds are already thinking about the future distribution of their own land.

Since the yield per acre is so high, there is no need to use all the land. Some of the land can be reserved for growing fruits, vegetables, mulberries, hemp, and horse grass.

After people are full, don’t they just want to eat well and wear warm clothes?

With enough food, warm clothes, and leisure time, go to the county to find a man to do some part-time work, or do some small business.

Save some money, buy a house, and then buy some land.

In the future, it can also be used for children at home to study or practice martial arts.

What a day it was.

Better days are ahead, and a happy future is not far behind.

The spirit of the entire Song Dynasty suddenly changed.

Even though the current life is still rough, the look of exhaustion, despair, helplessness and pain has been swept away.

However, that's it!

It’s still not the end!

News of the cement road spread like wildfire.

Wu Ding had already given him the rough formula of soil and cement.

The Ministry of Industry has been sending people to adjust various ratios.

Those who build roads, those who build bridges, those who build walls.

Even different climates need to be taken into account.

Especially when building roads, different climates, different soils, and different uses need to be taken into consideration.

It’s not just thermal expansion and contraction that needs to be considered. More consideration should be given to pressure-bearing capacity.

Without the help of modern testing tools.

The Ministry of Industry of the Song Dynasty could only use the most primitive methods.

Use hammers to hit and vehicles and horses to physically crush the paved concrete roads.

After being crushed back and forth by carriages of different weights every day for several months, you have to survive at least two seasons of summer and winter before you can be considered barely qualified.

So far, the Ministry of Industry has come up with at least five road versions of cement formulas.

But there is still a long way to go before promotion.

In addition to being cautious about quality, the production volume cannot keep up and the cost is also an issue.

Speaking of costs…

The old and young foxes in the Song Dynasty Hall narrowed their eyes.

The aristocratic families, powerful people, and wealthy businessmen trembled.

The landlord's family doesn't have any food left, right? The national treasury has just become abundant, and the cost of building roads is not much lower than fighting a war.

Since it was promised that the people would receive benefits…

Then let’s follow the old rules and get the wool from the original one.

What? Any objections?

After this road is built, how far can the people go without cars and horses? Aren’t you the ones who use it the most?

Don’t want to pay?

That’s fine, anyway, there is a sequence in road construction, and cement production is not increasing at present, so we will start with those who are willing to pay.

The government didn’t even urge them.

They just built a few roads in the royal gardens, and then invited people to experience it.

The wealthy businessmen who have experienced the cement road: ……… Well, it smells really good.

They can all imagine what will happen if they don’t pay.

Other people’s cars and horses are twice as fast as their own, and the comfort level is ten times higher. They feel refreshed after getting off the car.

Even if they are riding horses, they are neatly dressed and spotless.

Will you repair this road?

Will you pay?

Very good, you pay? !

Well, then pay for the school together.

If you pay more... you know the priority.

Recalling the many benefits when the decree was issued before.

The wallets of each family are dripping with blood.

It is the sound of the bloody copper coins that makes the cement road, which has not yet been built, as famous as the divine seed in front of them.

The common people were sitting around the "divine farm" and imagining a prosperous future.

Then they heard such a big news.

The ground is so big.

A road as flat as a mirror? A road without a trace of dust? A road that can be easily built.

It's just a lie.

What? XX family has already paid? !

Another good thing that is just around the corner?

Good things that may not come once in hundreds of years, all gathered together.

The strong sense of unreality makes people feel... as if God is really blessing them.

Based on the fact that the royal family wants to do something.

They always like to talk about "warnings from heaven", "auspicious signs from heaven" and "divine blessing".

The common people are simple... just listen to it.

The level of seriousness is not as good as that of Lao Wang next door who saw a white dress floating by when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night.

But this time is different!!

There are real things planted in the fields!

Such good seeds can't be stolen from Xixia and Liao.

It is impossible that someone is hiding it.

The government said "God's gift", so this time... is it true?

Guarding the good seeds in the fields and looking at the green seedlings.

The people who already believed in the gift of God were hit by the rumor of "cement road" again.

Now there is only one question.

Which god gave it?

Should they worship the Three Pure Ones or the Buddha?

Is it the Jade Emperor or the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman?

Is it Nuwa or the Yan Emperor Shennong?

Some people have even started to write the Ten Thousand People's Book and the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella to petition.

Faced with such a boiling public wish, the grassroots officials who know nothing can only report it.

The high-ranking officials who knew the truth: ………It’s so uncomfortable to hold it in, but I can’t say it.

Yes, I can’t say it.

After Yelu Munro died, Wu Ding made a special trip back to Bianjing.

The key point was: Don’t tell us his identity.

Don’t tell us who took out the seeds.

The high-ranking officials of the entire Song Dynasty almost choked on this request.

After Wu Ding’s good seeds were transported back from Xixia.

The entire Song Dynasty was holding back on this breath.

When the grain is planted, there will be solid evidence.

Pick a good day and announce Wu Ding’s good deeds to the world.

And write a book and biography for him, build a temple and a monument, and create a golden body.

“Is it because we didn’t do well enough?”

Why refuse our thanks?

Why refuse our offerings?

What did we do wrong? Are we not even worthy of transmitting your kindness?

Because he didn’t pay for twenty years of life and immortality.

He only took out his own golden finger.

The construction of the imperial platform is enough to be considered a thank you gift.

The remaining inner gratitude is enough.

If he is really worshiped by this world... he is afraid of shortening his life.

If he really wants to thank me, then wait until I save the world.

Now.

Really not, really not.

Wu Ding also understands that he exaggerated the price to increase credibility before.

Now he can only say...

"Not publishing, not spreading, it is good for me."

Renzong turned to ask the professionals: Really?

State Master: No, I don't know.

Other cultivators: No, I don't know...

I really don't know, they haven't ascended.

How do they know what the rules are.

Wu Ding has lost his immortal status... maybe he can ascend again!

Maybe after he dies this time, he can live in the immortal world as an ordinary person?

Maybe Wu Ding has left some backdoor!

So they can't thank their benefactor in any way?

Can only... hold it in?

Wu Ding nodded mercilessly: Yes, hold it in.

The consequence of holding back is that the construction of the imperial platform has become more and more luxurious.

How stingy the Song Dynasty was before, how extravagant the construction of the imperial platform is this time.

Even though Wu Ding provided a large amount of core materials. (Using the excuse of robbing)

The Song Dynasty still put the most effort into the construction of the imperial platform.

All craftsmen must be recruited from the best, from all over the country.

All materials that need them to provide must be the best.

All construction deadlines are closely tied to the imperial platform.

It is said that the emperor opened the private treasury and the national treasury, and all the rare treasures are available for use.

It is said that the Queen Mother took the pearls from her phoenix crown and decorated a small wooden sculpture in the imperial platform.

It is said that many immortal cultivators took the initiative to help this imperial platform.

When the top leaders kept silent about the truth.

This grand project seemed to be an obvious hint.

This imperial platform built in Jizhou.

While it was still under construction, it attracted the surrounding people to burn incense and worship.

Gradually, more and more people came.

Song Dynasty: I didn't say anything!

Two years later, this imperial platform that strives for perfection was finally completed.

On the day of completion, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the phantoms of dragons and phoenixes flew into the sky, singing together, and the entire imperial platform was shining and magnificent.

After this wonder, the hidden formation of the imperial platform was activated and disappeared from the sight of ordinary people.

The people happily witnessed the miracle.

And the cultivators found that Wu Ding was gone.

There was no him in the imperial platform, and there was no him in the entire Song Dynasty.

There was no him in the neighboring Xixia.

There was no him in the opposite Liao Dynasty.

Return to the immortal world?

Impossible, so many cultivators have seen it.

He is as mysterious as when he came.

It is not that he left without saying goodbye.

Almost all the familiar friends received the letter left by Wu Ding.

They agreed to meet again soon.
