At this time, the country was in a state of prosperity, and the country suddenly disappeared, half of the national fortune, and the impact was extraordinary. Some scientific research projects that were progressing smoothly suddenly failed in a mess, and some of the soon-to-be successful commercial cooperation, which was inexplicably terminated.

Of course, the biggest change is the weather. Some places are raining heavily, some places are violently windy, and some places even suddenly have earthquakes and traffic jams.

Although such a change cannot have much impact on the development of the Shang Dynasty, it still has an impact. The people urgently need the government to explain it. Obviously, this requires Li Xian to come forward.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xie Yuhua looked at Li Xian and was a little puzzled, but Xie Yuhua did not ask. Li Xian's actions were seriously injured by the national teacher, which must have had an extremely important reason, and Li Xian would definitely not hurt this country.

But even though he didn't ask, Xie Yuhua's eyes floated towards Li Xian from time to time, as if waiting for Li Xian to explain. The same is true for other officials around him.

Li Xian thought for a while, turned to look at Xie Yuhua, and Xie Yuhua immediately raised his ears.

But Li Xian said, "Xie Yuhua, I'm not surrounded by me for a while. Please help me arrange one... and arrange a few more."

Xie Yuhua opened his mouth and wanted to step on Li Xian. But now that he is the prime minister of a country, he can only resist this impulse, but rolled his eyes fiercely: "Great King, what a secretary is like, if it is a secretary of an ordinary official, I will certainly have no problem with my arrangements. But your secretary is afraid that he can't do it casually.

Look, looking at the six secretaries around you, except for the first five who grew up with you, Sun Haocai’s identity is not simple. Therefore, I suggest you directly select the secretary from the heroes, which is also a reward for some heroes.”

After Xie Yuhua finished speaking, many people at the scene suddenly had their eyes brightened. The secretary beside King Xian looked at the six secretaries around Li Xian. Six of them have been replaced in 40 years, but all six are now being reused. Going to Li Xian as a secretary is a real shortcut to the sky.

However, afterwards, everyone looked at each other and became alert. Although Li Xian's secretary was changed frequently, he did not change every day; but there were many heroes of Shang.

Li Xian frowned slightly. He originally wanted Xie Yuhua to arrange one, but he didn't want to involve these things. Li Xian was very clear that his influence was too great, and the secretary around him had an extraordinary influence.

Many times, the secretary around Li Xian represents Li Xian's will. For example, Sun Haocai and Sun Haocai went to Guangpingjie to establish Guangming City. Everyone knows very well that that is what Li Xian wants to do, and therefore it is a great way to Sun Haocai.

But this is exactly the problem that Li Xian wants to avoid; what Li Xian needs is a secretary who does business, who has no influence, but unfortunately, as long as he is a secretary around Li Xian, he must have overwhelming power. The servants who guard the prime minister's family are equivalent to a seventh-rank official, and the secretary who does practical things around the wise king has an influence that is close to the first-rank official!

Seeing the eyes of everyone around him and Xie Yuhua pointed out the word "meritorial", Li Xian had to sigh. He wanted to lift the ball to Xie Yuhua, but was kicked back by Xie Yuhua and added additional information. Xie Yuhua did it on purpose, and this woman became more and more lawless.

Li Xian snorted lightly, and everyone immediately stopped discussing and pricked up their ears. Then Li Xian said: "In the future, a public examination institution will be set up in the Prime Minister's Office. After the heroes of the fifth rank or above, descendants of officials of the third rank or above, outstanding students of the Star University, descendants of the winners of the Star Award, descendants of the top 300 merchants in the Shang Dynasty, and adults can take the exam.

The Prime Minister's Office is responsible and supervised by the cabinet. The three best candidates in each exam will be transferred to me for work. You can arrange the remaining ones who perform well as you please as appropriate. A charter must be drawn up and submitted to the cabinet for review. I will also review it.

That's it.

Such an exam is tentatively scheduled to be every three to five years, depending on the situation.”

When everyone heard this, although the competition was fierce, they were still very happy. You should know that Li Xian would admit three of them this time, and such exams will be fixed in the future, and everyone has a lot of opportunities. And everyone believes that after the heroes and officials, there should be extra points in the hearts of the wise king.

But before everyone could say anything, Li Xian turned to Yan Ze'an and asked, "Yan Ze'an, what's the situation of Yan Zhengqing's descendants now?"

Yan Zean immediately said: "There are three people who are quite good. They are ready to enter the army in the near future."

"Please choose the right one and transfer it to me."

"Yes." Yan Zean responded immediately, with gratitude and excitement flashing in his eyes. Finally, he had a reasonable explanation to the dead Yan Zhengqing. When the meeting ended, he would go to pay tribute to Yan Zhengqing.

After dealing with this matter, Li Xian finally talked about today's important matter: "Yesterday, the national teacher and I prayed for half of the country. The effect is unknown. How to announce this matter to the public? Let everyone share their opinions."

Minister of Commerce Lan Baolin stood up, "The wise king, don't know the detailed reason for the blessing, can we understand it? This may help us analyze the situation and guide national public opinion, etc.."

Li Xian nodded and signaled Ling Zhifeng, whose face was still pale, to explain.

Ling Zhifeng stood up, "I'll talk about this matter. Praying for blessings is a long-standing sacrificial activity that began as early as the era of the demon lord's earth.

Prayer is difficult to describe in detail in words, and involves a huge range of knowledge. In short, it is to use the luck of the country to bribe the way of heaven and even the great way.

We know that the great way is fifty, and the way of heaven is four or nine. In other words, we no longer have the great way, only the way of heaven. But the way of heaven is not complete, what should we do? The way of heaven also wants to be completed, so there are sacrifices and so on.

But the way of heaven is ultimately the way of heaven. A little sacrifice cannot attract the protection of the way of heaven. Therefore, sacrifices must be made larger.

The so-called national level prayer is a more absolute sacrifice, bribing the way of heaven with the luck of half of the country and obtaining some kind of protection."

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized.

But someone immediately wondered - has this protection taken effect?

Ling Zhifeng was suddenly embarrassed: "This is why King Xian and I didn't discuss with everyone. I can only guarantee that the sacrifice process was successful, but the effect was really not guaranteed.

Just like everyone will also sacrifice to heaven and earth to ensure the smoothness of practice, but no one knows whether it has really taken effect. It can only be said that some people have been successful, while others are still obsessed with it.

Now, the same is true.”

Everyone was speechless, how could they tell the public this way?

Xie Yuhua spoke slowly: "This can only be vague with the public. Just say that Shangguo has encountered some problems and crises over the years of development. For the long-term consideration of Shangguo, we have to do this."

When everyone heard this, they praised the Prime Minister for being so smart. There was nothing wrong with this. Just do this. Song Xing immediately began to organize people to write the article, and he must write this matter to earth-shaking.

Li Xian returned to the palace. Not long after, Yan Ze'an brought a student from Xinghuo University in his twenties to Li Xian and introduced him to Li Xian: Yan Zhengqing's grandson, Yan Wenzhong.

This time, Yan Ze'an chose three good descendants of Yan Zhengqing, but two of them were Yan Fei. Yan Yuan had the ability to command the military and had been arranged to the army; the remaining Yan Wenzhong had outstanding abilities in scientific research, literature, humanities and politics, and Yan Ze'an was also in the scope of arrangement. He happened to be sent to Li Xian's side, and Yan Wenzhong was Li Xian's secretary.

After hearing this, Li Xian looked at Yan Wenzhong, who was full of confidence in front of him, and nodded immediately: "Okay, stay here. Work with me during the day, and Yan Ze'an, please help me train it at night."

"Okay." Yan Zean agreed without hesitation. Speaking of which, Yan Wenzhong is also his own bloodline, so of course he will take care of himself.

…………

Lihuotian, the exploration in Ganyuan continues.

Along the way, the immortals of Xihe Palace were in a vast and powerful way. With the help of the Shang Dynasty's technology, Xihe Palace has 100,000 masters, and now Xihe has gathered at least 30,000 around him. Such a number can be said to have swept everything.

It’s fine for Zhurong Palace, but because he made a vow before, he was spared from being robbed. Xihe felt that he was at a disadvantage. Whenever he saw Zhurong Palace, Xihe looked bad.

When encountering other fairy halls, 30,000 masters from Xihe Palace rushed up, and the rest of the halls were so angry that they screamed, but they were powerless. The 30,000 masters swept everything along the way, and even if they encountered a pack of fire wolves like the beginning, they would still sweep over.

Xi and the immortals of the palace bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye - many experts said that the palace master had insufficient storage space!

Xihe was both surprised and sad at this time. It was the first time that he encountered such a harvest scene, but it was difficult to not have enough storage space.

At this time, Wang Cong, who had just become Xi and the Prime Minister of the Palace, had a bad idea: "Lord of the Palace, we can borrow from another palace. At worst, after leaving Ganyuan, we can return the storage space to them.

And if you encounter someone who is alone, just...send them back to heaven."

Xihe turned to look at Wang Cong, her beautiful eyes full of questions: "That's how you do things?"

Wang Cong replied very simply: "We must first consider the people in our country, then consider the royal family, and finally consider the situation abroad.

Judging from the current situation, we should do this.

When you encounter a large number of people, you will snatch their storage space and items and let them go, but you cannot leave them weapons!

If you encounter a small number, you will destroy it directly.”

Xi and his eyes narrowed: "I snatched their weapons and let them go. They can't survive in Ganyuan."

"But we let them live!" Wang Cong replied with a smile, "and it can also confuse the public and make the other halls suspicious of each other and unable to unite. The most important thing is to weaken the enemy's strength before the final decisive battle."

What else Xihe wants to say, suddenly a scout quickly returned: "Lord of the Palace, I saw the Fusang divine tree!"
Chapter completed!
