132. Energetic(1/2)

Originally, the selection of draft girls and palace ladies were usually done separately, and the selection process would be extremely cumbersome. However, Li Yongxuan was eager to hire people and did not like to follow routines, so the selection time was greatly saved.

Ten beautiful women formed a group and were examined and questioned at the same time.

From the time they walked in to the announcement of the selection results, the whole process took about half an hour.

The show girls took turns like a revolving lantern, coming and going, leaving and coming again.

When they learned that Li Yongxuan was doing the draft himself, they all worked hard to show their best.

Some were happy and some were worried. In three hours, Li Yongxuan met six groups of beauties and selected five.

Li Yongxuan had lunch and continued the draft.

It made him feel a little bit visually fatigued. There were so many beauties that he was dazzled by them.

In the afternoon, for four hours, Li Yongxuan looked at nine groups of beautiful women and selected seven.

He found that these beautiful women were all virgins. It seemed that the identification method really worked. This also showed that no one was using tricks secretly.

Li Yongxuan's prestige is too high, no one dares to engage in secret operations, and those beautiful ladies also dare not to challenge him.

He thought that beauty alone would be a vase, so he decided to add a talent competition, and all the top three beauties would be selected.

As a result, news spread that Li Yongxuan was going to compete in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry to select girls, which shocked both the government and the public in heaven.

This is the style that a wise king should have, unlike those lustful and foolish kings.

Li Yongxuan originally wanted to sing and dance, but after hearing this, he could only give up the idea.

In the evening, he first visited Xiao Longnu and the newborn prince, and then went to Cheng Ying's place to spend the night.

Now that he has set up a character, he cannot indulge in beauty and pleasure, and must give priority to the prince and princess. Li Yongxuan did not favor the top beauties who were paid tribute by Dali, Annan and other countries.

The show girl just selected today still needs training, not to mention.

The next day, after Li Yongxuan was busy with government affairs, he went to the draft again.

This time, he directly asked twenty show girls to come and choose together.

Twenty people lined up in a row, and then each stepped forward and walked around.

Li Yongxuan looked over it, and when he saw someone he was satisfied with, he asked a few questions and made a decision.

Although these beautiful girls are all very good-looking, there are still some differences. Without comparison, there will be no harm.

Soon, three days passed and Li Yongxuan passed through thousands of beautiful ladies.

In the end, he selected thirty-seven show girls to enter the palace, and more than a hundred unsuccessful ones volunteered to become palace ladies, and more than twenty show girls were ready to participate in the competition.

People who are willing to be palace maids have relatively ordinary family backgrounds.

There are not many choices left for them; failing the draft and becoming a palace maid is also a very good choice.

After all, Li Yongxuan was not like other emperors who were lustful and dissolute and had numerous harems. The smaller the number, the more opportunities there were.

Besides, being among the first batch of people to enter the palace will definitely be better than those who come later.

Many women would rather be concubines for rich and powerful people than marry poor people. This is the reality.

To say that the most powerful person in the world, besides the emperor, who else could be there?

As long as they have the means, it is not difficult to get the emperor's favor. At this time, the strict hierarchy is not very serious.

Soon, beautiful women from other places also arrived in Lin'an.

It took Li Yongxuan two months to select all the show girls.

There were more than 7,000 show girls who participated in the election, but only 95 were selected, one from a hundred.

Among them, 37 people live near Lin'an, accounting for more than one-third of the total.

It is true that beauties have been produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou since ancient times.

This also shows the importance of the Eastern Capital of the Kingdom of Heaven, which far exceeds other places in terms of population, economy and politics.

In addition, the top three in the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and poetry competitions, a total of 18 people were also selected.

Also, for those who failed to be selected as ladies-in-waiting, in this draft, a total of more than 700 women entered the palace.

Favoring two people every day without repeating it will take two years to complete.

The Kingdom of Heaven follows the Song Dynasty's hierarchy of harem concubines. When they first entered the palace, all the beautiful ladies were serving as imperial concubines.

From then on, according to their different performances, they gradually rose up: above the imperial concubine, there was the madam, and after the madam, there were talented people, beauties, Jieyu, and then they advanced to Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Wanrong, Wanyi, etc.

Advance concubines: noble concubine, virtuous concubine, virtuous concubine, Shu concubine, Chen concubine, etc.

Xiao Longnu gave birth to a prince, Li Yongxuan named her the imperial concubine, and Cheng Ying gave birth to a princess and named her the imperial concubine.

More than 700 beautiful ladies and maids came to the palace. As the Lord of Heaven, Li Yongxuan was very busy.

Just in time, various delicacies were sent as tribute from various places, and Li Yongxuan began to show off his skills.

First fry with various cheeses until oily, then wrap them up and fry out the white ginger.

Li Yongxuan's favorite thing is to grab two braised heads, stir-fry them in a pot, and stir-fry them repeatedly using Xuannu's Eighteen Styles until they fly. Finally, put them on a plate, eat them and wipe them clean.

He is proficient in the art of collecting tonic, and he can control several women at night with ease.

In the next few months, he doted on most of the beautiful ladies in the palace, including many of them.

Diligent emperors like Li Yongxuan are rare in all dynasties.

Not only did he not collapse, but he became more energetic and energetic.

This innocent heart, even if it is not unprecedented or unprecedented, is definitely enough to leave a mark in history.

Many loyal ministers of the Kingdom of Heaven warned him openly and secretly, hoping that Li Yongxuan would put national affairs first and not be hollowed out by women.

Now, when the kingdom of heaven is prospering, they don't want anything to happen to Li Yongxuan.

A hero is sad when a beauty passes away, wine and sex hurt others...

Li Yongxuan looked embarrassed and had no choice but to agree.

Originally, he wanted to challenge the limit of how many women he could control at night, but then he thought that spreading the word would not be a good thing, so he gave up.

Later, Li Yongxuan focused his attention on construction.

In order to exploit Australia's mineral resources in large quantities to develop the economy, he recruited people from all over the country to sail to Australia on warships.

Mainly from various countries in Southeast Asia, there are also a few locals from the Kingdom of Heaven, most of whom are criminals or enemies.

Li Yongxuan not only mined minerals in Australia, but also built ironworks and manufactured guns there.

When it was made into artillery and muskets, he would use his backpack to send it back to his homeland.

Considering Australia's vast territory and sparsely populated population, Li Yongxuan decided to breed a large number of war horses in Australia, preparing to build a large cavalry team to compete with the Mongolian cavalry.

Although Dali, Sichuan and Chongqing also have horse-producing areas, they are still not as good as northern horses as war horses.

The most famous ones are the BMWs from the Western Regions. In order to breed them, Li Yongxuan specially sent people to buy dozens of BMWs from the Western Regions and sent them to Australia for breeding.

At the same time, Li Yongxuan was still training war elephants in the Angkor Dynasty and Sukhothai Dynasty, preparing to use them as cavalry against the Mongolian army on the grasslands.

As time went by, he became more and more sure of defeating the Mongolian army.

With artillery and muskets, you can be invincible.

With war elephants and horses, trained into an army, and artillery and musket attacks, Li Yongxuan was fully confident of defeating the Mongolian cavalry.

Now, the Mongol Empire's maritime system is asymmetrical and civil strife continues.

Li Yongxuan did not rush to lead his army in the Northern Expedition to prevent Mongolia from uniting internally to attack the outside world.

Mongolia cannot fight for the time being. In his opinion, this will be a battle of the century.

Even if the Kingdom of Heaven wins, it will probably pay a very heavy price.

Therefore, Li Yongxuan continued to accumulate strength and make full preparations.

In addition, he will continue to expand the power of the kingdom of heaven outwards.

Send a large army to attack the Mon people who are adjacent to the Sukhothai Kingdom, as well as Bagan and Arakan, which are adjacent to the Dali Kingdom.

In addition to land expansion, maritime conquests also continued.

Du Gao led his navy to conquer Luzon and Mayi. A few months after returning to Lin'an, Li Yongxuan asked him to lead his army to attack the countries to the west of the Sukhothai Dynasty, that is, the areas along the Indian Ocean.

Of course, we do not directly send the navy to attack, but first test the reality.

If those countries are weak, then find an excuse to attack them.

If the strength is relatively strong, we should negotiate first. After understanding, we can then look at the situation and decide whether to fight.

In short, Li Yongxuan does not want to waste his strength overseas, but only wants to increase his strength and influence for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Now, the economic, cultural and social development levels of the Kingdom of Heaven are at the world's advanced level.

The textile industry, shipbuilding industry, porcelain making industry, paper making industry, printing industry, firearms manufacturing industry, etc. have experienced great development.

Due to Li Yongxuan's southern expedition and his vigorous efforts to support the development of commerce, commerce in various parts of the Kingdom of Heaven developed extremely rapidly and on a huge scale.

The commercial tax revenue of the Kingdom of Heaven plus the monopoly income far exceed the agricultural tax revenue, which is unique in ancient Chinese history.
