Chapter 990

Ren 8000 carefully turned over several ancient volumes placed on the desk.

They are all brochures made of animal skin. I can't see what animal skin it is. After many years, it still hasn't been damaged at all.

At a glance, Ren 8000 confirmed that these brochures came from an era without records.

The two "records of earth dragons" are divided into two volumes, which are mainly records of rare animals, herbs and minerals.

These records are rarely the same as today's existing herbal minerals, and most of them are extremely rare and precious.

A water dragon chronicle is similar to the Earth Dragon chronicle, but the former is on land and the latter is in water.

The last book is the method of washing eyes with water, which seems to be a special method for cultivating eyes. Several kinds of different water are recorded in the annals of Water Dragons.

The name is simple, but the effect is not small.

It is said that after training, the eyesight can reach thousands of miles, which can be called powerful.

For people in this world, clairvoyance, proper clairvoyance, is a very powerful cultivation method.

But with a telescope, this method is of little significance.

What is really important is the two "Earth Dragon records" and "water dragon records", which record not only external killers, herbal minerals, but also a small number of water areas and mountains, which is of great significance for sending people to the outside world to find a hiding place for cultivation.

The previous phone call was only 200000 Liang silver, but the value of these three books is difficult to measure with money.

"Where was the grave found? What was the situation inside? What else besides these?" Ren Bayi asked with a straight face.

"Under the ancestral grave of a rich man, there is a simple stone chamber. In addition to these ancient scrolls, there is only one bone. And I have it buried well." Qinglian said with a smile, "I knew your highness would be interested!"

"You know?" Ren 8000 asked.

"A lot of famous experts, such as Ma Hongyu, sun and moon in the palm, XCMG ship, Zhengtian teaching Lin Dong, long and short guns and Gao Yi, have been very active recently!" Qinglian pursed her lips.

Ren 8000 nodded slightly. The rebels are now more powerful than the Xia court. The movements of these experts will inevitably be heard by them.

"Thank you very much. If there are the same things in the future..." Ren 8000 wanted to say that as long as I can get it, I can change it. When he said it, he thought it was too much.

"I see! These things don't work in our hands. Besides, I'm curious about some things. If your highness moves fast, maybe I can see them in my lifetime."

When Qinglian said this, her look finally changed. Some hope, some gloom.

Even an ordinary person can become an expert after becoming the sword master.

But the price is too heavy.

Can't practice, and life expectancy is shorter than ordinary people.

The life span of the sword owner is usually only 60 or 70 years old. If he does it less and has resources to support, he may live to 80 or 90 years old. This is the limit.

Qinglian was now in her twenties and eighties. If there were no accidents, her life would still be forty or fifty years.

That's why I said that if Ren 8000 moves fast, she might still see it.

With her intelligence, she can get a lot of information from water dragon and Earth Dragon. Combined with the trend of Ma Hongyu and others, she can guess half of the whole picture even if she can't guess the whole picture.

……

With the advent of the telephone, the storm swept through the cloud area, and it is becoming more and more intense.

The role of the telephone, according to this era, is comparable to an artifact.

However, compared with those anecdotes and legends, the telephone is accessible to many people.

Whether families, chambers of Commerce or various departments of each city, even many rich families began to plan whether to install a telephone at home.

Although there is no demand for the time being.

Most people in this age are still in their own one-third of an mu of land, and ordinary people can't even go out within a hundred miles.

You can show off a few dozen liang of silver and earn face. It's a very cost-effective business.

In this way, the upsurge brought by the telephone has never subsided.

Such an upsurge has also played a great role in the promotion of telephone.

Next, even without any publicity, the number of telephone users will grow steadily.

While the telephone boom continues, another new product appears in front of everyone.

A cargo truck.

A truck with a shape similar to liberation 141, but its performance is only equivalent to the standard of World War II.

The dead weight is 4000 kg and the load is 6000 kg, which is slightly lower than that of the tractor.

And the requirements for roads are much higher than tractors.

Except for going up the mountain and down the sea, the trafficability of tractors in most places is excellent, which can not be achieved by trucks.

This is also the reason why Ren 8000 was the first to take out the tractor. Its applicability is much better than that of a truck.

High price, low load, high requirements for roads.

Although there are so many defects, one advantage covers up all the shortcomings.

Speed.

The speed is twice that of a tractor and can reach 240 miles per hour, equivalent to 60 kilometers per hour.

From Lancheng to Pingdu, it takes ten to fifteen days to use an ox cart, three days to use a tractor, and only one and a half days to use a truck!

This alone has attracted the attention of many businesses.

Moreover, this new product called truck is much more comfortable than tractor.

At least there is a shelter cab, which is more stable and not as bumpy as a tractor.

Two thousand of these trucks were booked as soon as they were launched.

Many people are even going to use it as a means of transportation for daily travel.

The only restriction on the promotion of such trucks is the road.

However, along with the trucks, there was another news that more than one million labourers would be recruited to build roads in chuyun.

With the constant flow of daily caravans on the road from Lancheng to chuyun, a large number of materials are transported to the two places. Lancheng is becoming more and more prosperous. Prices have dropped a lot compared with before, and the income of business tax accounts for an increasing proportion of the revenue of the state treasury. Even Tuwan, a penniless Iron Rooster, agrees with Ren 8000's saying "build roads before you get rich".

Ren 8000 always said, "have more children and plant fewer trees!"

Moreover, with the return of Yanchang iron mine to the imperial court and the income of the commerce department, the income of the National Treasury has more than doubled compared with the past. The batch of gold and silver looted from the clouds are still in the national treasury.

Instead of decreasing, there is an increasing trend.

Therefore, this time we enlisted labor to build roads, and we did not encounter any resistance in the court.

It took only three days from the proposal to the agreement, and the will was passed down and sent to all cities in the clouds.

"City order, prepare quickly. A government order has been sent." Sanhe chengling was resting in the mansion. Hearing the servant's report, he hurriedly dressed and ran out.

When we arrived at chengling mansion, we met three ancient Han people, all dressed up as sergeants.

"It's the order of the city to jump the dragon and martial arts. But the three sent the order?"

"You are the city order? Take it!" One of the big men took out a paper roll from his luggage and stuffed it directly into long YUEWU's hand.

"The decree came and we left!" The three did not wait for his reply. It seemed that they had never considered that he would refuse to accept the decree and would leave when they sent the paper roll.

"If you have nothing important, why don't you have a rest in this city?" Long YUEWU hurried.

"No time! There are other cities to go!" The three big men turned away without giving him a good face.

Long YUEWU has a move in his heart and wants to go to other cities. I don't know what's going on this time.

"These barbarians are very unreasonable." A young scribe came out from behind the door and said.

"Don't let me hear the word barbarian in the future." Long YUEWU was a little unhappy.

"It's a slip of the tongue." The scribe's face changed slightly and bowed his head.

"And they are not necessarily a bad thing." Long YUEWU said again. Whether it's delivering decrees or anything else, the news comes without delay.

Unlike the previous cloud, if there are Imperial Envoys who lavish hospitality, they have to give gifts.

Before, I rushed the ducks into the battle to be the city order. I just wanted to ensure that the people in this city could live.

As for the taste of the city order, I didn't dare to think about it at all.

Unexpectedly, in recent years, my city order has been stable.

The ancient people would hardly give him any trouble. The miasma that had not yet emerged saved him a lot of worry.

So he really likes the style of the ancient people.

Long YUEWU turned his mind, opened the paper roll and glanced at it. His face changed slightly.

"What is it, my lord?"

"The imperial court will recruit one million labourers to build official roads!"

"A million servitudes?" The scribes were also moved.

"Good! The city needs 28000 labor!" Long YUEWU said in a deep voice.

They were not surprised by this figure. They were surprised that it was labor, not corvee.

You know, corvee is not paid. In previous years, it was corvee to build roads and cities.

Labor, however, requires money.

"One or two silver a month!" Long YUEWU said again.

Not less, but more. This is the normal income of ordinary people.

Some of them are in a worse situation. They don't even have this income.

You know, it's hard labor. Each city must provide enough people. It's a little mandatory. Even 800 Wen is a lot of money.

It's generous to pay one or two silver for food.

So the two people were surprised.

Long YUEWU has mixed feelings in his heart.

When I took office, I had planned to be stabbed in the back.

As a result, the ancient people not only didn't exploit the cloud, but always used the gentle means.

Since he is Huairou, he doesn't have to say anything more and do anything more. He can do things according to the will of the imperial court.

In the past few years, there have been some thin names.

If you think about the emperor who favored Yongxiang at the beginning and the prime minister who is still fighting against the enemy, long YUEWU has mixed feelings in his heart.

Long YUEWU held the paper roll in his hand and told the scribe, "go and call Chang Shi and Sima."
