Chapter 4 The Emperor's Residence

The Great Xia chaos is coming, and for Ying Yi, there are only two roads ahead. The first is to explore the starry sky at the cosmic level where the Daxia Empire is located. The second way is to directly target other possible civilized worlds through humane search.

The first path seems clear, but it is confusing. In the vast universe, there are no stars, and God knows when it will take to find an opponent. You can persist for a hundred years, you can persist for a thousand years, but what about ten thousand years and one hundred thousand years?

The universe is too vast, and if we cannot find a clear goal for a long time, we will inevitably fall into despair.

Only the second path can follow in the footsteps of Hun Yi Xingchen and inject new vitality into Daxia.

If Ying Yi doesn't have a golden finger, he can only choose the first path. Because the level of the second road far exceeds the height of the first road, it is incredibly difficult. But if he has it, he will not abandon the basics and choose the aimless path.

Ying Yi chose Yizhou as the construction site of the portal. Yizhou will definitely become a military and transportation hub in the future.

Yizhou is in the sea and close to the mainland, so its geographical location is very suitable.

The construction of the portal is almost complete. Some of the builders are the old people of Yuanqi Palace ten years ago in the Chinese Era, but most of them are the new generation ten years later.

Since four years, Ying Yi has spent at least three months in Yizhou every year. In the thirteenth year, Ying Yi gradually relaxed and handed over the side details of building the portal to the new generation of geniuses. Ying Yi has become much more relaxed in the past two years.

The reconstruction of the Forbidden City and the construction of the portal are extremely energy-consuming tasks. Fortunately, the military and political affairs of the Great Xia Empire were already on track. Except for a few major strategic matters, Ying Yi almost no longer interfered.

The Forbidden City has greatly changed its appearance now, and its outline pattern is almost the same as the original blueprint. Moreover, the foundation of the Forbidden City has already been erected—the first step in transforming the Forbidden City is the foundation. In six years, the foundation had been rebuilt, and then slowly raised up under the influence of the Yishan Forbidden City. It is now more than ninety feet above the level of the capital, and is about to reach its expected peak.

Outside the capital, you can clearly see the Forbidden City. Facing the south, a Nantian Gate stands tall. Every day at 10 o'clock and 10 o'clock at noon, it will emit a bright red light. It seems weak, but it is very eye-catching.

In the eastern area of ​​the Forbidden City, there are faint forests, and occasionally the blue sky is steaming, reaching tens of feet into the sky.

In the western area, there is a brisk white sky, and the sound of the guards practicing can be heard every day.

The northern part is even more mysterious. It is clear that a waterfall cascades down, stops in mid-air, turns into clouds, and steams up again, covering half of the Forbidden City in clouds.

The changes in the Forbidden City are gradual. People see a little change every day, and now, it is no longer surprising.

Isn't it natural that the place where the emperor lives, close to heaven, has such mysterious things?

In June, the weather gets hotter. It was as warm as spring in the Forbidden City. Ying Yi handled some military and political affairs, and after having lunch, he accompanied Zi Niang to the Imperial Garden.

The Imperial Garden has small bridges, flowing water, intertwined corridors, and lush flowers and trees.

Today's Royal Garden is not the former Royal Garden. This huge garden is filled with all kinds of exotic plants that have been improved through the Diji Yi.

In recent years, the Earth Ji Yi has been developed to the fifth generation, and the transformation of plants and animals has reached an extremely advanced level.

The exotic plants in the Royal Garden are both ornamental and extremely practical. For example, many ginseng, polygonatum, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., which have extremely high medicinal value, are all newly improved products.

The daily staple food of the people cannot be changed after the third generation of Di Ji Yi. The main reason is that the Yuan Qi of the planet under my feet is not active enough. Even if Ying Yi and the monks of Yuan Qi Temple restored the blessed lands that had been destroyed by Liu Bowen over the years, raising the activity of Yuan Qi circulating between heaven and earth to a higher level, it would still not be able to support higher levels of improved crops. Survive.

Because the scale of crop cultivation is so large, once fourth-generation crops are improved, the energy activity of this planet cannot support them. Once they are planted, what will be left is a desert, which will take at least ten years to recover.

Therefore, after the improvement of crops for the third generation, they turned to the improvement of precious medicinal materials.

This is also a general trend and a demand. The improvement of the education system and the popularization of the "Martial Arts" have made the average physical quality of the people of Daxia rise step by step. By the seventh year of the Chinese Era, this trend began to slow down. The higher the level, the harder it is to go further.

Therefore there is a demand for foreign goods.

The use of Di Ji Yi turned to the improvement of medicinal materials.

Starting from the first generation of medicinal materials, it is now the third generation, and the Diji Yi has also been developed to the fifth generation. After the second-generation high-quality medicinal materials were successfully improved, the first-generation medicinal materials began to be opened to the public. At the same time, some prescriptions for strengthening qi and blood and increasing physical fitness have gradually spread among the people.

Of course, the main body of improving medicinal materials is still in the hands of Ying Yi. The restored blessed lands were all circled as a base for Ying Yi to grow fine medicinal materials.

Just like the popularization of Yuanqi, the core and profound ones must be in the hands of the empire. The divergent branches of the branches are open to the public. Therefore, up to now, private element factories and medicine shops have emerged in endlessly.

Basically, the daily components needed by ordinary people are produced by private factories. Most of the pills needed to practice the "Martial Classics" are purchased from various folk pharmacies.

The imperial industrial zones and medicinal material cultivation areas controlled by the empire mostly serve the army and officials and serve as national reserves.

"I don't know when this peach tree will bloom and bear fruit." The emperor and the empress stood under a large peach tree that looked like a canopy.

"I don't know." Ying Yi smiled and said, "This tree doesn't grow very fast, but it has to bear fruit..."

Zi Niang pursed her lips gracefully and chuckled, "Maybe it's a flat peach."

"Flat peach..." Ying Yi laughed loudly: "The flat peach in Journey to the West can make people immortal. This one, don't expect too much."

Zi Niang smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

In the process of modifying animals and plants, a very small number of mutant individuals will occasionally be born. But the vast majority of these mutated individuals are useless products, inferior to the most ordinary ones. But the peach tree in front of me is the only mutant individual with a benign direction.

People with strong souls can clearly feel the vast vitality contained in this peach tree.

It is more than ten thousand times that of other peach trees improved at the same level.

Biqi occasionally rises in the imperial garden, and its source is this peach tree.

So Ziniang's suggestion that it was a flat peach was not without purpose.

Under the peach tree is where the concubines often rest. Stone tables and benches are scattered randomly, giving people a natural beauty.

Ying Yi hugged Zi Niang and sat down, whispering small words. At some point, some concubines also came here and started singing and dancing.

The musical instruments used by the concubines are all Yuanqi-level instruments, all made by themselves. The plucked strings are blown up, and Yuan Qi is stirred up, forming a real phantom in the air. The mountains and flowing water are really mountains and flowing water, and the flowers and moon on the spring river are really the flowers and moon on the spring river.

The Empire has an all-inclusive civilization. Since contact with Europa, some wonderful things in Europa have also been annexed and integrated. Such as musical instruments.
