Chapter 276

Needless to say, Xiao Ming of the Ministry of Justice had luck so good it was outrageous; his case-solving speed was fast, and almost every major case could be solved in a short time.

His reputation in the Ministry of Justice was in full swing, and some even jokingly called him the "Number One Detective of May Tian Ce."

And the most brilliant performer recently was Lin Mo of the Ministry of Works.

Lin Mo had made outstanding contributions to rail construction.

He himself had outstanding ability, and coupled with his explosive luck, the tracks he laid, the planned operating routes, etc., were all done in one go without any mistakes.

This not only greatly saved the time for rail construction but also made the May Tian Ce Dynasty's transportation network more efficient and convenient.

Besides this, Lin Mo also participated in the research of floating rocks.

Floating rock is an extremely rare mineral that can float in the air and is a key material for building floating cities.

Under Lin Mo's leadership, the Ministry of Works' R&D team had already made breakthrough progress.

It is estimated that it won't be long before floating rocks are applied to military and urban construction.

Lin Mo even had a wild idea, thinking that if floating materials could be put on trains, perhaps it would be faster!

As long as floating rocks are developed, Li Chen's "Heavenly Court" plan and "Starry Sky Great Wall" plan can be officially launched.

Ten thousand nations coming to court is something that emperors of past generations had already achieved; what Li Chen wants to do is ten thousand races coming to court!

However, before that, they must definitely be well-prepared to avoid it being a disaster when the time comes.

However, not all Sons of Luck brought positive impacts to the May Tian Ce Dynasty like Xiao Ming and Lin Mo.

There were also some Sons of Luck whose existence brought trouble to the imperial court instead.

For example, the Son of Luck, Tang Shan.

Tang Shan was an extremely selfish person who believed that the world should operate according to his ideas.

No matter how well the May Tian Ce Dynasty developed, he felt it was wrong because he hadn't obtained a high enough status.

In his view, it was enough for him alone to become an immortal, while others remained on the continent to suffer; that could reflect his ability.

These mortals, why should they share resources with me? They only deserve to be my stepping stones!

Tang Shan prepared to use the power of the remnants of the Wang family to overthrow the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

At this stage, this looked like a joke, but he was working hard to do so; he felt that with his own talent and ability, coupled with luck, he could complete the great cause.

But what he didn't know was that there were quite a few Sons of Luck in the imperial court.

And Li Chen, this boss, had also returned to the imperial capital.

Inside the imperial palace, Li Chen checked the settlement of his mission this time.

He originally just wanted to complete the mission, but who knew that the Sea Clan would suddenly launch an attack, causing him to be away for a period of time.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the mission "Sword Tomb Inheritance," rewarding 10 Heavenly Grade Spirit-Nurturing Pills, and the martial skill "Thunder God Tyrant Body Technique."】

【Time-limited mission: Beast Tide Attack.】

【Mission requirements: The beast tide is very dangerous, but it can also yield huge gains; please host improve your cultivation and kill 10 Void Piercing Realm demonic beasts in the beast tide at the designated location, time limit 280 days.】

Heavenly Grade Spirit-Nurturing Pill: Contains pure soul power, can quickly repair the meridian damage of Soul Spirit Realm cultivators, improve meridian strength, and make the cultivator's meridians more condensed.

Thunder God Tyrant Body Technique: Uses thunder power to temper the physical body; the cultivator can possess a physique like a Thunder God, with thunder power circling the body, fists carrying thunder, and with one punch, thunder power pierces through the enemy.

Li Chen didn't need to ask about these rewards; the system's products were all top-grade, but it was this mission that made Li Chen a bit puzzled.

There were many sects within the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and the beast tide hadn't come for a long time.

Because the work of sect cultivators is to judge where there are more demonic beasts and "advance" to solve the beast tide.

"I understand; under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a beast tide, because many cultivators have gone to the eastern coastal region, so the reproduction of demonic beasts during this period is relatively fast, and the beast tide will descend."

Li Chen felt that there were still not enough cultivators in the May Tian Ce Dynasty; if they could achieve nationwide cultivation, these would all be small problems.

Those who organize the resistance against the beast tide will be sought after by the local people.

It is estimated that the system just wants Li Chen to gain the hearts of the people, increasing his chips for seizing the throne in the future.

But he was already the Emperor, so doing this was just icing on the cake.

Li Chen had just rested for a while when he saw Eunuch Cui come over.

Seeing this fellow, Li Chen had a headache; after all, he must be here to urge him to handle the memorials.

He hadn't been back for a while, and the memorials were estimated to have piled up like a mountain.

The only thing that could make Li Chen feel a headache was this.

Inside the Imperial Study, Li Chen first opened those more urgent memorials.

Among them was one from a small country on the coast next door, the Zhenla Kingdom. The national strength of this country was not very strong, and in the face of this Sea Clan attack, it had lost half of its territory.

The Sea Clan was launching a large-scale attack on the continent, not just hitting the May Tian Ce Dynasty, but other coastal countries were also being invaded.

It was just that here in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, they were being farmed as materials by cultivators, while in other countries, it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

So the Zhenla Kingdom sent envoys to ask for help; it wasn't just their country, but two other small countries as well.

This was easy to handle; Li Chen felt that the Prince of Zhennan was idle anyway, and since you told me you were loyal, I'll let you handle it.

Just as Li Chen was preparing to write the imperial decree, someone outside requested an audience.

After obtaining his permission, the Prince of Anxi, Li Ji, walked in.

Looking at the Prince of Anxi kneeling on the ground, Li Chen frowned: "What is it this time?"

The Prince of Anxi smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, didn't the investment lose money again? I heard that the situation on the coast is tense, so I want to mix some military merit to continue developing."

According to him, he really didn't mess around with this investment; he went to ask industry insiders and also conducted investigations.

!

So he invested all the wealth he obtained from the Western Conquest into the fruit tree planting industry, which had good sales and high yields.

But the problem came; he spent money to ask industry insiders, thinking that only he knew this news, but the industry insiders didn't tell others.

As a result, there wasn't just one industry insider, and many people asked, so many places in the May Tian Ce Dynasty were planting, leading to overproduction; if there were no accidents, Li Ji lost money again.

He could only come over to mix some military merit and continue to turn the tables.

After Li Chen finished listening, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

How come you catch up with all the good things? You have no business sense, can you not do this!

If Li Ji weren't his brother, Li Chen would definitely kick him out.

"Since that's the case, you take this imperial decree to the Prince of Zhennan and fight the Sea Clan with him."

Saying that, Li Chen threw the imperial decree ordering the Prince of Zhennan to solve the coastal problems of other countries to Li Ji.

Li Ji looked at it for a while and roughly understood what had happened.

"Obey the order, then Your Majesty, how many soldiers and generals should I lead from the Ministry of War to be appropriate?"

"You go alone."

"Ah? I go alone?"

Li Ji widened his eyes, as if he had heard something incredible.

The Prince of Zhennan relies on military power; wouldn't it be very dangerous if I don't bring some soldiers and generals?

Li Chen nodded and said: "That's right, not only do you go alone, but your status is above the Prince of Zhennan; supervise and order him to handle matters, then most of the military merit will count as yours."

Li Ji: "."

Now Li Ji was even more dumbfounded; I am alone, and I am going to step on the Prince of Zhennan's head to shit? Snatching his merit, he wouldn't beat me to death?

Although I am also a Prince, I have no real power.

Li Chen expressed: It doesn't matter; as long as he dares to beat you to death, I can justifiably beat him to death.

As long as he still wants to mix in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, he will definitely be obedient.

Just like you said, if I change to someone else to supervise the Prince of Zhennan, if the status doesn't match, he definitely won't be convinced; you are at least a Prince, what are you afraid of?

Are you trying to find that kind of simple, crude, high-merit work?

Thinking beautifully, go work for me; I don't raise idlers.

Is this work dangerous? Nonsense, why would I let you do work that isn't dangerous?

Risk and return are proportional; it's not like you don't know.

Li Ji really wanted to say something, but seeing Li Chen's expression that allowed no discussion, he had to take the order and leave.

Regarding the Prince of Zhennan, he was still relatively afraid; when he was a Prince before, the Prince of Zhennan was the former Emperor's confidant, and his status was very high; he had to be respectful when he saw the Prince of Zhennan.

And regarding marching and fighting, Li Ji wasn't very good at it; what if the Prince of Zhennan set a trap for him? Maybe he would even impeach him for delaying the war opportunity.

Don't let the military merit not be mixed, and even lose his own throne.

Thinking for a while, he decided to find the fifth brother, Li Ran, to discuss countermeasures.

Having experienced the Western Conquest together, their relationship was indeed much better.
