The grass in the factory should be plucked

Xie Changan frowned. These methods were simple in the upper realm, but extremely difficult to achieve in this mortal world!

There is no need to think about elixirs. Just by hearing about the Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pill and the Mind-Concentrating Soul-Restoring Pill, one can tell how many spiritual herbs and plants, as well as natural treasures, they would take to make them. It is estimated that there would also be requirements for the furnace and spiritual fire for alchemy. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice!

There is no need to even think about forming a pact with a divine beast. The most powerful divine beast in this world is still an egg and is completely useless!

But how can one break through the realm in this world where spiritual energy is scarce?

As for the thousand-year-old jade and soul-purifying grass...

Jiang Li shook her head: "Unless the Mirror Spirit can help us find it."

She bargained for a long time and finally got the Mirror Spirit to agree to help her find the five elements spiritual plants. How could that stingy Lord Tiandao still be willing to help?

"Do you know the Soul Purifying Formation and the Nine-Turn Soul Purifying Technique?" Xie Changan raised his eyes and looked at her.

"You also know that I am a pure spirit body. Do I need to practice these spells to purify my soul?"

Xie Changan sighed and could only respond as the enemy attacked.

Shen Muchun saw the two of them flirting with each other, not knowing what they were talking about in private, and rolled his eyes: "Since you want to discuss this with me, what are you two talking about in private?"

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Shen, as long as you don't ask me too much and ask me why I know, I will tell you everything."

"I promise not to ask any more questions! Okay?"

Jiang Li then told him the methods to cure the soul poison one by one.

"Brother Shen, which of these methods do you think is feasible?"

Shen Muchun was dumbfounded. Is this something a mortal can do?

"Brother Shen, have you heard of the Millennium Spirit Jade and the Soul-Purifying Grass?" Xie Changan looked at him again.

"I've never heard of this!" Shen Muchun said angrily, "I know that you two are immortals who have been banished to the mortal world. How can the mortal world have things from your immortal world?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "At least I have given you some ideas. How to detoxify depends on our Divine Doctor Shen! You are the hope to kill the mirror monster and save the people!"

Shen Muchun frowned: "According to what you said, if I can't figure it out, I should die as an apology!"

"Haha, how dare I do that? I'm afraid my sister-in-law will chase me with a kitchen knife!"

"My wife is gentle and kind, not as fierce as you!"

Seeing these two people starting to fight each other again, Xie Changan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

"Brother Shen, don't feel burdened. Just do your best."

After forcing Shen Muchun to continue working like a slave, Jiang Li went back home to catch up on his sleep.

In the early stages of her pregnancy, she was still very sleepy. The affairs of the General Administration of Commerce basically fell on Li Jie's head. He would only send someone to ask Jiang Li if he couldn't make a decision.

The negotiations with Mongolia were also left to Cui Jue, who had just returned from a long journey. However, she had already reached a preliminary agreement with Mongolia, so the negotiations went very smoothly.

Mongolia ceded the Greater Khingan Range to Da Chu and set up trade markets along the border and in the Heilongjiang River area, allowing the people of Da Chu, Mongolia and Jurchen to interact with each other in a friendly manner and trade freely.

Similarly, Da Chu took on the construction of infrastructure for the trade. The docks and shops were all funded and built by the Longmen Commercial Bureau, and a branch of the Longmen Academy was opened in Mongolia.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project within the territory of Da Chu also attracted a large number of strong Mongolian laborers to work there.

How could these young and middle-aged people from the Jurchens and Mongols be willing to go back after seeing the prosperity of the Great Chu?

The Chu government also distributed land to those who were willing to become citizens. These people were overjoyed and didn't even remember whether they were Jurchens or Mongols.

When the Mongols and Jurchens discovered that a large number of young and strong people had left their country, it was too late to regret.

The ports along the Heilongjiang River and the trade between the two countries were crowded with merchants and were very prosperous. They had become the main source of income for the Mongols and Jurchens, from the royal family to the common people.

The problem is that these ports and trades that bring in huge amounts of money are firmly controlled by the Longmen Trading Bureau. In other words, the economic lifeline of Mongolia and the Jurchens is firmly in the hands of the Great Chu!

As long as the Emperor of Great Chu is unhappy, the Mongols and Jurchens will have to tighten their belts and live a frugal life!

Every year when they came to pay tribute to the Chu State, the Mongols and the Jurchens would plead with the Prince of Jing'an, asking the Longmen Commercial Bureau to lower the tax rate this year and not to increase taxes, otherwise their Khan and Emperor would be left starving!

In order to prevent the Chu from raising taxes, Mongolia and Jurchen declared themselves vassal states. How could they dare to send troops to attack the Chu?

Even if we want to send troops, there are no soldiers to recruit!

Besides, the Great Chu has the god of war, Duke Dingguo, and the valiant and skilled Dingguo Army, so they can’t defeat them!

Of course, this is a story for later. At present, the Mongolian and Jurchen officials are still unaware of the "sinister intentions" of the Great Chu. They are all smiling, thinking that they have gotten a great advantage.

Don’t they think about it, is it so easy to take advantage of Jiang’s actions?

After the peace treaty between Mongolia and Jurchen was successfully signed, Jiang Li took advantage of the fact that she was not yet pregnant and asked Nangong Qinghe for an imperial decree to confer the title of Da Diao and his wife as mountain gods of Greater Khingan Range, and to build a mountain temple in Greater Khingan Range for the people to worship.

The next thing Nangong Qinghe has to do is to make a major replacement of officials in the court!

When Liang Shoufu and other old ministers heard that Jiang Li refused to join the cabinet, and saw that she had been staying away from the court and was only focused on expanding the territory for the emperor, they were convinced that she had no intention of competing for power with them.

For a while, the new and old forces in the court became harmonious.

On this day, Nangong Qinghe secretly summoned Jiang Li, Cui Jue, Zhang Huai, Li Jie, and Lu Meiyi's cousin, Lu Hongguang, the current vice minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Everyone discussed for half a day and drafted a list.

The next day, at the court meeting, Jiang Li was taken out of bed by Xie Changan early in the morning, dressed in the royal robes of a county king, stuffed into a carriage, and went to the morning court.

When Prime Minister Liang saw that Prince Jing'an actually attended the morning court for the first time, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He was not someone who never attended court, so why did he come today?

He was sensitive to the atmosphere of impending storm.

Prime Minister Liang cast a questioning look at Lord Chang, who shook his head. The two of them looked at Lord Shen, only to see that he looked calm and composed, as if it was none of his business.

Prime Minister Liang couldn't help but feel annoyed. Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne and Jiang Li and others emerged, his control over the court became weaker and weaker, and he often felt powerless.

Something big is going to happen today! I just don't know what it is?

He signaled to his trusted followers to act with caution and not let any evidence fall into the hands of Prince Jing'an and others.

The bell and drum department began to play music and the emperor arrived at the imperial gate.

"Welcome to the Holy Emperor——"

After the Jinyiwei whipped their whips three times, Nangong Qinghe, accompanied by Yuanbao and Yinjiu, ascended the throne.

All the ministers knelt on the ground and performed the ritual of bowing once and kowtowed three times.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Everyone is safe."

Nangong Qinghe looked around at all the officials and saw Jiang Li standing at the front row with a serious look on his face, and he couldn't help but smile.

He raised his hand to signal, and Yuanbao stepped forward, unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it.

This is the imperial decree allowing Lord Shen and Lord Chang to retire and return home!

It was like a bolt of lightning, and the court was in an uproar.

Prime Minister Liang's face suddenly changed. He turned his head to look at Lord Chang, only to see that his face was ashen and he was shaky.

Although he is not young anymore, he is still several years younger than Lord Shen.

Lord Shen had repeatedly submitted petitions requesting to retire and return home, and he just followed suit, thinking that the emperor would definitely not approve it, but unexpectedly, he actually agreed!
