For the next year, Fangzheng immersed himself in farming.
Although it was a bit of a waste of time, Fangzheng did not mind. Because in the Dog Food World, time to the outside world was suspended. Therefore, no matter how long Fangzheng stayed in the Dog Food World, it would not reduce the duration of the Divine Realm. Once Fangzheng returned to the main world and time began to flow, his Divine Realm would immediately start to operate, thus maintaining the consumption of the many magical girls in the Magical Girl World.
Therefore, Fangzheng made up his mind. He might as well wait until the Dog Food World was used up and collect enough firewood before he left.
Fangzheng was not worried about whether he could manage this world well. After all, his country was an agricultural society before the war ended. To put it bluntly, the lives of most people there were almost no different from those in this Dog Food World. But even so, it could transform from a backward and underdeveloped agricultural country to a large machinery manufacturing country in a few decades, let alone now.
As time passed, the situation of the entire Miaojiang became better and better. Fangzheng carried out many reforms in succession, greatly improving the lives of the people in the entire Miaojiang and even some neighboring areas. Although there was no Internet, TV, telephone, or fax in this world, through word of mouth, people in the whole country soon knew that the current Miaojiang had become a paradise on earth.
Of course, as for the specifics, it was basically hearsay.
And this "strange news" naturally reached the ears of the current emperor.
"Minister Gu."
Song Dezong put down the memorial in his hand and looked curiously at the minister in purple in front of him.
"Recently, I've often heard about the Miaojiang. Rumor has it that the place is prosperous and magnificent, like a paradise … Have you ever heard of it?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zong naturally lowered his head hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, it is true. In fact …"
Gu Zong hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"In fact, I personally went to the Miaojiang to investigate this matter. But in my opinion, today's Miaojiang is very different from the past … It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call it a paradise on earth. "
"Oh?"
Song Dezong narrowed his eyes.
"How does it compare to the Imperial City?"
"This … please forgive me for not speaking rashly."
"Hehe."
Although Gu Zong didn't say it directly, the emperor wasn't a fool. Looking at him, he already knew the answer. However, not only was the Emperor not angry, he was even more curious.
"I have heard that the Miao Tribe is a barren land that does not understand etiquette and culture. How could there be such a change in just a few days?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zong cupped his hands together once more.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Miaojiang of the past was indeed as Your Majesty had said, remote and uncivilized. However, the current Miaojiang was completely different. This official has seen with my own eyes that the people of Miao Jiang do not travel by horse carriages, but by boat instead, travel through the clouds. It was fast and convenient. No matter how high the mountain was or how deep the water was, it wasn't a problem. Furthermore, the rice there is harvested three times a year, and there are all kinds of miraculous things that this subject has never heard of or seen before. "
"Oh? Is there such a thing?! "
Hearing this, the Emperor could no longer hold it in. Although he was the Emperor, he had never said anything about the Heavens!
But now, a bunch of Barbarians had actually ascended before him?!
How could he tolerate this?!
"Why didn't the Miao Tribe send this item to me?"
At this point, the Emperor was already feeling a little resentful. Such a good thing, and you're playing with it yourself instead of bringing me along? Do you still have any respect for me, the Emperor?
Faced with the Emperor's question, Gu Zong lowered his head in fear and trepidation.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, a few months ago, the Miao Tribe sent someone to the capital to discuss the opening of the sea route."
"Sea route?"
"That is, to use the flying boat to transport people and goods between the Miao Tribe and the capital …"
"Oh? That's a good thing! "
Hearing this, Song Dezong was instantly elated. As the Emperor, he was no fool. Of course, he knew how convenient this kind of flying boat would be for transporting people and resources. Now that the country was facing the threat of Jin Dynasty, as the Emperor, he naturally cared about anything that could strengthen the country.
"So, when will it be done?"
"This … Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be done."
"… … Why?"
"Because … there are many rumors that humans and demons live together in the Miao Territory, and that there is no distinction between the two sides. Some officials believe that these flying ships are probably some kind of demonic sorcery, and that once they are brought into the capital, they may invite trouble …"
"Hmph, how preposterous!"
Hearing this, the Emperor's expression immediately turned serious.
"Is there any basis for this?"
"There is, Your Majesty … … Miao Tribe has indeed issued a law that allows humans and demons to live together. Moreover, many demons have already gone to the Miao Tribe … …"
"Oh?"
The Emperor was also curious when he heard his subject's words.
"Could it be that there really are demons and demons in this world?"
"I have seen it with my own eyes … …"
"Hmm … …"
Hearing this, the Emperor's heart itched even more. As the saying goes, people have a curious mentality, and the Emperor was no exception. Not only that, because the Emperor had been living deep in the palace for a long time, he was even more curious about the outside world. Now that he heard his subject talking about the Miao Tribe, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
"How about this, Minister Gu, send someone to order me to personally go to the Miao Tribe … … No, no, those people won't let me go."
Halfway through his words, the Emperor understood that this method wouldn't work. After all, generally speaking, in order to display the Emperor's prestige, it was the leaders of the savage lands who came to the capital to pay a visit to him. If he, as the ruler of a country, went to the Miao Tribe with such great fanfare, it would clearly be wrong. Not to mention that according to his subject, the Miao Tribe allowed humans and demons to live together. The Emperor had never seen demons before, but he could guess that if he wanted to go, those subjects would definitely use the danger of demons as an excuse to stop him.
But if he said no … … he couldn't bear to. After all, after hearing so much, the Emperor was also itching to go.
"Minister Gu."
Thinking of this, the Emperor made a decision.
"Is the Miao Tribe safe?"
"To tell you the truth, although it's not to the extent that we don't close our doors at night, it's not far from it."
"Very good."
Hearing Gu Zong's answer, the Emperor immediately made up his mind.
"If that's the case, then I invite Minister Gu to go with me to the Miao Tribe. I want to see just what kind of place it is that can be called a world of immortals!"
