The grass in the factory should be plucked

The western army successfully took over the city of Kucha, and the remaining cities were no longer a problem.

After this battle, the Dzungar Khanate retreated behind the Tianshan Mountains and dared not cross the border to cause trouble again.

After listening to the reports from those nobles who escaped death, the Dzungar Khan broke out in a cold sweat. How could the Great Chu have such an elusive "war fortress"?

With such a magical weapon, who would dare to provoke him?

Nangong Qinghe received a secret report from Jiang Li and learned that the Tianji Camp had a new powerful weapon - the war fortress. He didn't know what to say.

With this magical weapon, it is only a matter of time for the Great Chu to take over the entire Western Regions.

He discussed with Cui Jue and Feng Wuhu and decided to change the annual spring examination to one in spring and one in autumn, and to add business, mathematics, engineering and agriculture subjects, so that talented people in the world, regardless of their background, could serve the court.

As soon as the decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar. So, the lower-class people who were originally unable to take the imperial examinations also had a chance to turn things around?

As the saying goes, "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans", workers and merchants have always been at the bottom of society. Since the rise of Longmen Commercial Bureau and Longmen Tiangong, the social status of these two classes has improved. If you cannot pass the imperial examination, you can also apply for Longmen Commercial Bureau and Longmen Tiangong to create a path for yourself and your family to rise.

Now that the imperial court has issued an edict, can they also take part in the imperial examinations?

For a time, Longmen Academies everywhere were overcrowded.

To take part in the imperial examination, you must first be able to read and write!

In the name of the queen, Zhang Wanwan called on the students of the women's academy to set up "charity schools" to organize literacy classes for poor people who could not afford tuition, and teach them to read and write for free.

The people of Da Chu were all excited. With such a wise monarch and a virtuous queen, as well as capable ministers and generals like Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo, Da Chu would surely be peaceful and prosperous.

Xie Changan stayed in Tianji City, while Jiang Li left first with the two children.

She also has to arrange for Jiaolong and Xiaohuo to meet each other.

Mo Sanlang stayed in Tianji City and refused to leave. He wanted to think carefully about how to arm this city to the teeth.

The dragon egg had already returned to the Dragon Palace in Poyang Lake, and only then did the dragon know what the "great joy" that the dragon egg was talking about was.

The fairy and the master actually found a fiancée for him!

The dragon's huge head suddenly turned red.

Although he had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, he was devoted to cultivation and had never paid any attention to the pythons in the mountains. When he heard that he was going to meet the fire python, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"That fire python girl is only two hundred years old, but she swallowed a fire crystal the moment she emerged from her shell. She has already developed intelligence and is worthy of you, the Four Rivers Dragon Lord."

The dragon egg laughed and said, "After you two get married, you can take turns incubating the egg, and I will be able to hatch sooner."

Jiaolong Black Line, so this is what you were thinking.

"I will leave it to your majesty to decide."

"well!"

The dragon egg was very happy. If it hatched soon, it would be able to officially take over the throne of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and rule the four seas!

After Jiang Li arrived at Aigan Lake, he notified the fire python, dragon egg and dragon to come over.

The fire python finally received the message from the fairy and was immediately overjoyed. While it was still dark, it quietly left the Flaming Mountain, suppressed its anger, and quickly headed towards Aigan Lake.

Not long after, the dragon and the dragon eggs arrived.

It has to be said that the matchmaking by Jiang Li and Long Dan was very successful. Both parties were very satisfied with each other. Jiang Li then asked Long Dan to find a good day for Long Jun and his wife to get married, and the new house was set up in Aigan Lake.

The Fire Python cannot leave the Flame Mountain for too long at the moment, as it has to guard the Fire Lotus for Jiang Li. Anyway, Aigan Lake is under the jurisdiction of the Four Dragon Kings, so he can come here at any time.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Li took Xie Buli and Xie Buqi back to the capital.

The two children will continue to study with Master Chang. She is more than four months pregnant and is already showing signs of pregnancy.

In February next year, the twin boy and girl will be born. Aunt Lian ordered her to take good care of the fetus at home and not to run around!

Jiang Li originally wanted to go to Donghai again, but Aunt Lian said with a fierce face, "Miss, your uncle is not at home. If anything happens to you or the baby in your belly, how will I explain it to him?"

Liao Wuyong also advised: "My daughter, if there is anything, just ask Zhufeng to pass on the message. It's just about integrating the team. Admiral Yuan has experience. Just rest assured and take care of your baby."

Jiang Li thought so too. Why should he do everything himself and tire himself out?

She then asked Nangong Qinghe for permission to integrate the Fujian Navy with the East China Sea Detachment of the Tianji Camp to cooperate with the East China Sea Detachment of the Tianji Camp to carry out secret missions.

The secret decree was delivered to Xiaoou by Zhufeng, and then Xiaoou conveyed it to Mingzhu and Yuan Shouhe respectively.

On the main ship of the Fujian Navy, Yuan Shouhe looked at the Mermaid King Mingzhu sitting opposite him and was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

He had been stationed at sea for decades and had naturally heard countless legends about mermaids. He never imagined that he would actually sit down face to face with the Mermaid King to discuss important matters!

Yuan Shouhe stared at the Mermaid King opposite him, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously.

Mingzhu wore a black robe that covered the blue fish tail, and her long hair was tied up with a silver crown. If it weren't for a few shiny fish scales exposed around her neck, Yuan Shouhe would have thought that she was a handsome man with unparalleled appearance.

Mingzhu twirled a conch whistle between her fingers, the final note frivolous: "Admiral Yuan's expression is as if he had seen a yaksha in the water."

Yuan Shouhe hurriedly said, "I was so overwhelmed by the Mermaid King's grace that I forgot my composure for a moment. Mermaid King, please forgive me."

His eyes fell on the bronze token hanging around Mingzhu's waist. The token was engraved with the word "Tianji" and was the token of the Tianji Camp of the Dingguo Army.

Mingzhu suddenly leaned closer, and the salty sea breeze blew in her face.

"I'm sure Admiral Yuan knows the reason for my visit."

Yuan Shouhe stepped back subconsciously. "Yes, I have received the secret order from the emperor. I wonder how the Mermaid King wants the Fujian Navy to cooperate with your operations?"

Although this Mermaid King was so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, he knew very well that he was a powerful demon!

He was extremely impressed that Prince Jing'an was able to subdue these sea monsters and use them for the imperial court.

"The fairy has reported that the rebel king Nangong Xihe, who the imperial court wants to arrest, is also the evil cultivator Nan Xi, who is being pursued by the Taoist sect. This person has taken the evil cult of Dongying under his wing and proclaimed himself the leader of the Nine Lotus Sect."

Mingzhu said slowly.

"He returned with a defeat at the Central Plains Dao Sect and is likely to take the East China Sea route back to Japan. The fairy has ordered us to intercept him. Please ask Admiral Yuan to dispatch the navy to cooperate with our operation."

Mingzhu was speaking slowly when he suddenly blew a short whistle. The sound of flapping wings came from outside the cabin. A silver fish with wings on its back swam in from the window, landed in his palm and spit out a water bag.

The moment the water bag burst, Yuan Shouhe saw countless shadows swirling in the mist: countless mermaids holding coral spears, and giant sea turtles carrying bronze cannons...

"This is the defense map of the Tianji Camp's East China Sea detachment. The mermaids have set up seventy-two outposts around the East China Sea."

Yuan Shouhe said solemnly: "Okay."

He collected his thoughts and discussed everything with Mingzhu.
