Chapter 324: Fortune Soars

The release of simplified characters and the dictionary soon exploded in Zhaoge City.

At the beginning, although it was sensational, it was limited to nobles, because those who were literate were basically nobles.

They all understood the value of simplified characters and the dictionary, and naturally were willing to accept simplified characters, because the current characters were too complicated, and each character was like a painting.

The name of pictographic characters came from this.

Even with paper, the speed of writing still couldn't be improved.

But simplified characters are different; they are neat and orderly in every horizontal, vertical, left-falling, and right-falling stroke, making them both concise and convenient to write.

In their view, the birth of simplified characters was no less than Cang Xie creating characters.

Of course, some old antiques felt that simplified characters were rebellious and lost the beauty and heritage of the current characters.

But such old antiques were ultimately a minority and did not affect the mainstream public opinion.

It was just that they hadn't had time to sing praises for Yin Qi when the imperial court issued a decree to promote it throughout the world.

At the same time, officials and clerks were clearly divided.

In coordination with the imperial court's decree, in Zhaoge City, Yin Qi arranged thirty-six jade pillars, just like the jade pillars in front of the two academies, where anyone could obtain the dictionary inheritance inside.

Now, the whole Zhaoge City was boiling.

"Woo woo, I really didn't expect that I had one foot in the grave and could still be a reader!"

"His Highness Prince Qi is truly benevolent and righteous, comparable to the Three Sovereigns!"

"His Highness is truly painstaking. In order to promote the dictionary, he actually specially refined this kind of divine tool for us!"

"Long live His Highness!"

……

Since ancient times, except for practitioners, readers have had the highest status.

Now even the most ordinary commoners can become readers, and they are readers with extraordinary knowledge. How can the people not be happy, how can they not be excited?

In the past, although Yin Qi's name for benevolence and righteousness was far and wide, it was actually too far away from them.

At least, Yin Qi's benevolence and righteousness did not benefit them.

In the past, they flattered Yin Qi, also following the mainstream public opinion, and didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it's different. Promoting the dictionary has allowed them to actually get benefits. Not only can they read, but they also understand many principles. These were things they couldn't imagine before.

Precisely because of this, they developed heartfelt gratitude for Yin Qi, and they worked harder to flatter him.

The whole Zhaoge City, public opinion is now one-sided.

As for Yin Shou.

Who is that?

Zhaoge's literacy campaign was orderly, and there were long queues in front of each jade pillar. It was estimated that it would take several days to complete.

As for outside Zhaoge, Yin Qi could only let the craftsmen of the Refining Hall temporarily put down other tasks and fully refine the jade slips of inheritance for literacy, increasing production.

Fortunately, the Refining Hall had completed industrial transformation; otherwise, not to mention supplying the whole world, even the Yin Shang itself would probably be busy for several years.

With Zhaoge as the center, pieces of jade slips of inheritance were sent to each prefecture and county, and then each prefecture and county took the jade slips of inheritance and went village by village to carry out literacy, and the efficiency was still very high.

……

"Popularize the dictionary, promote the progress of civilization, and add the blessing of human fortune!"

In his mind, a grand voice came.

Yin Qi's consciousness sank into the depths of his mind, and he saw the four-zhang-high fortune on the fortune altar suddenly soar, rising to fifty zhang, almost blinding his eyes.

You know, when he returned from the Yang God world, he only harvested fifty-five zhang of fortune.

It can only be said that the Primordial World is too big.

Any small thing that promotes the progress of civilization will be infinitely magnified.

This is just literacy. I really don't know how much fortune the sages who control the cultivation of the Primordial World have.

"Eh!"

Yin Qi was surprised. He suddenly discovered that the human merit, which was originally the size of a fist on the fortune altar, had expanded to the size of a basketball at some point, shining brightly.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it is normal. His literacy campaign and promotion of the dictionary are great merits for the human race. The human race's fortune will naturally reward him. This is a kind of positive feedback.

Merit is a panacea with infinite uses.

Yin Qi thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no urgent place to use it, so let's save it first.

"My current comprehension and root bone are both Heavenly Grade, possessing the potential to cultivate to the Golden Immortal. At present, it is enough, so I won't improve it first. There are too many places that need to consume fortune."

"For the sake of safety, I need to refine a battle armor similar to the Imperial Heaven Primordial Dragon Armor, which can exert the combat power of a Mysterious Immortal."

"Secondly, refine spirit rice to prepare for after ascending the throne."

Yin Qi pondered.

Although his physical body is already in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and all kinds of means are exhausted, it is no problem to fight the peak of the Heavenly Immortal.

Even facing the early stage of the Mysterious Immortal, escaping is no problem.

But as the movement he makes gets bigger and bigger, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties, so the trump card must be increased.

I think even if they want to kill him, they won't send a Golden Immortal.

Golden Immortal, immortal for ten thousand kalpas.

Even looking at the entire Primordial World, it is also a high-end combat power.

There is also spirit rice. He wants to use the existing Nine-Colored Immortal Rice as a template to refine a kind of spirit rice similar to sword rice.

The people take food as heaven.

If he ascends the throne and promotes spirit rice, he can not only stabilize the position of Human Emperor but also harvest endless prestige, and even fortune.

One of Shennong's greatest achievements was promoting rice.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi communicated with the fortune altar with his heart: "Altar, how much fortune is needed to refine such battle armor."

During the communication of thoughts, he transmitted the parameters of the battle armor to the altar.

This battle armor is based on the Imperial Heaven Primordial Dragon Armor, which can resist the attacks of the peak of the Mysterious Immortal, and at the same time can allow him to exert the combat power of the peak of the Mysterious Immortal, and can also travel through space, etc.

After looting the treasury of the Chiyi Ancestral Hall, Yin Qi is not short of immortal materials.

"Thirty zhang!"

Yin Qi frowned when he heard this. This is a bit much.

You know, refining three warships, each is only two zhang, and the Hunyuan Thunder Pool is five zhang.

However, he knew that the altar would never cheat anyone.

In other words, such a suit of battle armor truly requires thirty zhang of fortune.

Although the warship is only two zhang long, it can only exert the combat power of a mid-to-late Earth Immortal, whereas this battle armor can exert the combat power of a peak Mysterious Immortal; the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Moreover, the warship is so large while the battle armor is very small, so the difficulty of refining them is also different.

"Using the Nine-Colored Immortal Rice as a blueprint, how much fortune would it take to refine a spirit rice similar to sword rice?"

During the Shennong era, it is said that a divine bird carrying the Nine-Colored Immortal Rice flew past from the sky and happened to land in front of Shennong, which is how Shennong was inspired to start planting rice, allowing the human race to move away from fishing and hunting.

As for the Nine-Colored Immortal Rice, it is true immortal rice, and its planting conditions are harsh.

Even now, given the foundation of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, only about ten mu of Nine-Colored Immortal Rice are planted each year.

With a yield of two to three hundred jin per mu, it is mainly supplied to Di Yi.

As the eldest son of the Human Emperor, Yin Qi can only receive a reward of about a hundred jin each year.

At the moment of communicating with the altar, Yin Qi also proposed various parameters.

The new rice can adapt to various planting environments, resist pests, and grow by absorbing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon; the growth cycle is four months, and under intensive cultivation, the yield should reach two thousand jin.

Most importantly, the new rice must be free of impurities, and the energy it contains must be no less than that of dragon tooth rice.
