Chapter 27
Mind Calling Slate
A phantom with a mottled vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Wang Ge.
【Wang Song】
[Soul Strength: 1.3]
【Stone Fetish Monkey】
[Soul Strength: 1.4]
Through the stone slab, Wang Ge divided his original 2.3 units of soul strength into 1 unit of soul, injected it into the stone-born monkey, and turned it into his second body.
"My main body has only 1.3 units of soul strength left, but the stone-born monkey, with the nourishment of luck, has grown from 1 unit of soul to 1.4 units in three weeks.
Tsk, it is indeed a kind of god and demon. It is really hard to imagine how powerful it will be when it fades from the stone body and is born two or three hundred years later. "
Wang Ge sighed.
Under the influence of this mysterious and ancient stone slab, one of his consciousness has two sets of souls and two bodies.
Because after traveling to this world, Wang Ge was born as a human being, so he habitually called his human being his "body" and the stone-born spirit monkey his "clone".
This is just a habit of calling. In fact, Wang Ge's two bodies have no difference between the main body and the clone, and both bodies are him.
It is the same consciousness, and whether it is a stone-born monkey or a human Wang Ge can call out the existence of "Slate".
"Slate" is bound to Wang Ge's consciousness, that is to say, even if Wang Ge dies as a human body of King Yue, his consciousness can still continue to exist as a stone-born spirit monkey, and he can still summon people who use "Slate" ability.
"I have two lives. It's just that the stone-born monkey is still a fetus that needs nutrients to develop. I have the status of the king to provide nutrients. As the status is more than the king, I also need the supernatural talents provided by the stone-born monkey to make me last forever." Control the country of Yue.
The fate of these two bodies can be said to share weal and woe. If one is missing, the other will have a very difficult life. "
This is Wang Ge's judgment on the situation of his two bodies.
Seemingly two lives, but actually one life, now these two bodies cannot be separated from each other.
"The development of the stone-born monkey is too slow. Although it can provide me with magical talents, I don't think it is enough. If there is a third clone, a third clone that can provide new talents, to help me grow
After all, some feudal lords have rebelled now, and the Daxuan Empire has also sent troops to suppress it. This is just the beginning. It is hard to say whether the future situation is safe or dangerous. Only by allowing yourself to grow faster and master more power will you be more confident settle down. "
Wang Ge thought to himself.
King Anyang's rebellion stimulated Wang Ge's sense of anxiety. He had a strong urge to make himself stronger, whether it was martial arts practice or strengthening the national power.
Wang Ge remembered the conditions of use of the slate.
In addition to the necessary soul injection, it is also required that the object of the clone must be a rare and rare beast with a special body, and the beast must be in an embryonic state that has not yet been born.
"Exotic beasts, exotic beasts, what kind of exotic beasts can serve as clones and provide powerful talents, and where should I find them?"
Wang Ge was thinking about this while the maid was clearing the dishes.
After the maid left, he had an idea in his mind:
"The country of Yue is not a small place. Mobilize people to inquire around, ask the people below to make a list and submit it, and then I will choose one by one."
This is Wang Ge's idea. They are all kings of Yue. Of course, they have to make the most of the resources they have.
"Let the matter of raising manpower be handed over to the Secretary of the Shaofu, and let him use the money from his internal funds to do this matter." Wang Ge thought.
After the maid removed the bowls and chopsticks, the servant brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as today's memorial.
Wang Ge first drew up a pen to draw up an edict, and made a plan for the requirements for collecting rare and exotic animals, and then asked the servant to pass the edict to the Minister of Shaofu.
"This matter is considered to be arranged. Well, will there be rumors in the court that I, the king of Yue, raise strange beasts, and spend a lot of money to snare everywhere, waste money and energy, and spend extravagantly?"
Wang Ge thought of this possibility, and then smiled:
"Putting money in internal funds will not give birth to babies. I spend the money, but it creates jobs.
I can harvest clones to strengthen myself, and the common people can generate income. This is a win-win situation!
As for a little stigma, well, on the basis of cultivating immortals and harming the country, it seems appropriate to add that raising animals hurts wealth. "
The corner of Wang Ge's mouth rose. After arranging this matter, Wang Ge focused on the memorial.
After Wang Ge did not come to the court, the memorials of civil and military officials were processed by the prime minister and Sikong, and then submitted to Wang Ge for review.
The memorials piled up a hill on the table.
Just reading so many words and a bunch of scattered memorials related to the operation of the country made Wang Ge feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, his innate talent was strengthened by the stone-born spirit monkey. He could understand the contents of the memorial, and it was quite easy to understand.
After drinking ginseng tea with blood from his mouth, Wang Ge picked up the memorial:
"Cultivating fields and opening up wasteland, building canals and bobbins to facilitate farming, requires the treasury to spend 300,000 yuan."
This is the memorial presented by Prime Minister Zhang Yan. After Wang Ge read it, he looked up at the beams of the palace.
A golden light burst out from the pupils, and the eyes of Mingling's eyes penetrated the palace, seeing the changes in the future celestial phenomena.
"Three hundred thousand, the newly added facilities are not enough. There will be less rainfall in the spring next year, so we need to repair some water conservancy facilities."
With a swipe of his pen, Wang Ge added 100,000 to the 300,000.
He's not too worried about the fiscal deficit.
Under Wang Ge's guidance, the loss of the first batch of grain this year was very small, and he predicted that the weather will be good in the future, and the second batch of rice is likely to be harvested.
The memorials that Wang Ge wanted to focus on were roughly these, mainly related to people's livelihood, and he didn't care much about other things. Anyway, Sikong Han Deng was in charge of worrying.
But at the end of the government affairs, Wang Ge sighed:
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The foundation of my rule of Yue lies in the hearts of the people, and the luck of supporting the stone-born monkeys also lies in the hearts of the people. But according to the experience of my hometown in Lanxing, the rise and fall of the feudal kingdom basically depends on the people's hearts. 'Land annexation'."
The land is limited, and will be gradually annexed by local tyrants and landlords over time, and controlled by a few people, but the population growth continues. When most people have no land to plant, are displaced, and suffer from hunger and cold, the uprising will come.
According to the experience of my hometown, the shortest time for land annexation is 50 years, and the longest is 300 years. "
One of Wang Ge's worries, logically speaking, the more people he controls, the more luck he can get, and the faster the stone-born monkey will grow.
But the population is too large and the land is not enough to support so many people.
Those who don't plan for the world can't plan for a moment. The king's vision must be long-term. Wang Ge sees that not only the rebellion of the immediate vassal kings, but also the possibility of future peasant uprisings.
"I have two solutions now. One is to adopt militarism in the future. It can not only consume the excess population through foreign wars, but also grab new resources through plunder to extend the life of the kingdom."
But things like war are still relatively risky. Wang Ge has another way of thinking:
"Increasing productivity, developing industry, creating jobs, and converting excess population into workers can not only maintain population growth, but also improve the quality of life of the people, and greatly improve my luck."
Wang Ge groped his chin, thinking about this possibility:
"For at least fifty years, let me try industrialization."
Thinking of industrialization, Wang Ge immediately thought of textile machines and steam engines.
"It's time for me to recruit some craftsmen and figure out how to develop these production machines."
Thinking of this, Wang Ge recalled those craftsmen who followed him to Yue.
So he drew up another imperial edict to recruit craftsmen, prepare funds, and develop tools.
After asking the servant to convey it to the young minister, Wang Ge suddenly thought of it:
"Cultivating immortals to harm the country, talking about ghosts and gods, snatching rare beasts, and then engaging in ingenious and obscene tricks?"
"I am a fool, it seems that it is a certainty?"
Wang Ge laughed at himself.
