In the following year, Fang Zheng devoted himself to farming.
Although this was a bit of a waste of time, Fang Zheng didn't care. Because in the dog food book, the external time was suspended. So no matter how long Fang Zheng stayed in this dog food book, it would not reduce the maintenance time of the God's Domain. Once Fang Zheng returned to the main world and time began to flow, his God's Domain would immediately start to operate, thus maintaining the consumption of many magical girls in the magical girl world.
So Fang Zheng made up his mind and decided to wait until the entire book of dog food was soaked and enough firewood was collected before leaving.
Fang Zheng was not actually worried about whether he could adjust this world. After all, his country was an agricultural society before the war. To put it bluntly, the lives of most people there were almost the same as those in this copy. However, it was able to transform from a backward and underdeveloped agricultural country to a major mechanical manufacturing country in just a few decades, so it is even more so now.
As time went by, the situation in Miaojiang improved. Fangzheng carried out a number of reforms, which greatly improved the lives of the people in Miaojiang and even some neighboring areas. Although there was no Internet, television, telephone or fax in this world, through word of mouth, people all over the country soon knew that Miaojiang had become a paradise on earth.
Of course, the details are basically just hearsay.
Naturally, this "strange news" also reached the ears of the emperor of the time.
"Gu Qing."
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Song Dezong looked curiously at the minister in purple in front of him.
"Recently, I've often heard about Miaojiang. It's said that it's prosperous and beautiful, like a fairyland... Have you ever heard of it?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zong naturally lowered his head in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. In fact..."
Having said this, Gu Zong hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"In fact, I have personally visited Miaojiang to verify this matter. But in my humble opinion, Miaojiang today is very different from before... It can be said that the title of paradise on earth is by no means an exaggeration."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Song Dezong couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"How does it compare to this imperial city?"
"This...please forgive me for not speaking nonsense."
"hehe."
Although Gu Zong did not explain it directly, the emperor was obviously not a fool. Seeing him like this, he already knew the answer. But this did not make the emperor angry, but made him more curious.
"I have heard that Miaojiang is a wild and barbaric land with no culture or etiquette. How could such a change happen in just a few days?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zong bowed again.
"Your Majesty, the Miao region in the past was indeed as you said, wild and remote, with no etiquette. However, the Miao region now is completely different. I have seen with my own eyes that people in the Miao region do not travel in carriages, but on ships that sail in the clouds. It is fast and convenient, and no matter how high the mountains are or how deep the water is, it is no problem. Moreover, there are three harvests of rice a year, and there are all kinds of magical things, which I have never heard of or seen before."
"Oh? There is such a thing?!"
Hearing this, the emperor finally couldn't help it. You know, although he was the emperor, he never mentioned God!
And now, a bunch of barbarians actually went to heaven before him? !
How can this be tolerated?!
"Why didn't Miaojiang deliver this?"
At this point, the emperor was already feeling a little resentful in his heart. Such a good thing, you guys play with it by yourselves without taking me with you? Do you still take me, the emperor, seriously?
Facing the emperor's questioning, Gu Zong lowered his head again in fear and trepidation.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, a few months ago, Miaojiang sent people to the capital to discuss the opening of a shipping route."
"route?"
"It is to steer the Feiyun boat to transport people and goods between Miaojiang and the capital..."
"Oh? That's a good thing!"
Hearing this, Song Dezong suddenly became happy. As an emperor, he was not a fool. Of course, he knew how convenient this flying boat would be if used to transport people and resources. At present, the country was facing the threat of the Jin Dynasty. As an emperor, he naturally cared about everything that could enhance the country's strength.
"So, when will it be done?"
"This... Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work."
"……Why?"
"Because... there are many rumors that in Miaojiang, humans and monsters live together, and there is no difference between the two sides. Some officials believe that these flying boats may be some kind of evil magic. Once introduced into the capital, it may cause trouble..."
"Humph, this is outrageous!"
Hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly turned serious.
"Is there any basis for this statement?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty... Miaojiang has indeed issued laws to allow humans and monsters to live together, and many monsters have already gone to Miaojiang..."
"oh?"
When the emperor heard his minister say this, he became curious.
"Are there really ghosts, gods, demons and monsters in this world?"
"I have seen it with my own eyes..."
"Um……"
Hearing this, the emperor became more and more eager to learn. As the saying goes, everyone has a curiosity, and the emperor is no exception. Not only that, because the emperor has lived in the palace for a long time, he is even more curious about the outside world. Now that he heard his ministers talking about the Miaojiang situation, he immediately became itchy.
"How about this, Gu Qing, send someone to give the order, and I will go to Miaojiang in person... No, no, those people will definitely not let me go."
Halfway through his words, the emperor himself realized that this approach would not work. After all, generally speaking, in order to show the emperor's majesty, it was the leaders of those wild lands who came to the capital to pay homage to him. If he, as the ruler of a country, went to Miaojiang with such fanfare, it would obviously be wrong. Not to mention that according to his ministers, Miaojiang allowed humans and monsters to mix. The emperor had never seen monsters, but he could also guess that if he wanted to travel, those ministers would definitely hinder him on the grounds that monsters were dangerous and scary.
But if he said he didn't want to go... he couldn't bear to do it. After all, after hearing so much, the emperor was also eager to make a move.
"Gu Qing."
Thinking of this, the emperor also made a decision.
"Is the Miao border safe?"
"To be honest, although it's not as bad as not picking up things on the road and not locking the door at night, it's pretty close."
"very good."
After hearing Gu Zong's answer, the emperor immediately made up his mind.
"In that case, please go with me incognito to Miaojiang. I want to see where this place is that can be called the fairyland on earth!"
