Chapter 1250 A lord who loves his people like a son
After all, the horned python symbol of the Hu Guohou family has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Ding Kui has a close relationship with the dragon clan, so he will not call the incarnation that is often stepped on the soles of his feet a dragon.
Regardless of whether it was a dragon or a horned python, the people only knew that it was the symbol of the lord. They were even more excited to capture the lord alive, and some actually cheered.
"You are quite popular." Ruan Xingzhu showed a sweet smile, and the people cheered for their beloved.
"I am worthy of them, so they naturally love me." Ding Kui was used to this kind of scene.
In the history of Juyang City, Zhang Xun was a responsible city lord, and Ding Kui was a lord who created miracles!
Zhang Xun gives the giant sheep their backbone, and Ding Kui gives the giant sheep their wealth and fame. There is no difference between the two, but in terms of popularity, Ding Kui is better.
The Giant Sheep people will always remember Zhang Xun, but they will never forget Ding Kui.
The name of the City of Miracles has begun to spread. Everyone who has just arrived in Giant Sheep City cannot believe their eyes. There are so many novel things here, and the legends about this city cannot be finished in a few days.
Being a subject of Ding Kui is an honor. Every Juyang man will pat his chest and say: "I am from Juyang City."
"My people! The person who is working for you is the famous Master Tian Man! The senior brother of your third wife!"
Ding Kui's voice spread across both sides of the Chunlu River, completely drowning out the cheers below, showing the overwhelming strength of the dominant knight.
"Thank you, Master Tian!" "Thank you, Third Lady!" "Thank you, Lord Lord!"
"Lord, I love you!" The cheers were mixed with a bold confession.
"I love you too!" Ding Kui groaned with a smile.
"Shameless!" Ruan Xingzhu cursed quietly.
I don't know whether he was scolding Ding Kui or the woman who was shouting below.
Ding Kui flew close to Tian Man, winked at Li Fei, and stopped quietly, watching Tian Man cast a spell.
After greeting Ruan Xingzhu, Li Fei said to Ding Kui: "It's almost ready. Your apprentice is personally directing the work below. It's very efficient. The original ten-day project can be completed today."
"Well, actually this reinforcement was an oversight on my part. The original plan did not calculate the impact on the bridge piers during the flood season. Qingyangzi only discovered the problem when the foundation of the bridge piers was completed. Master Tian was a big help."
Ding Kui underestimated the power of the Chunlu River's water flow and designed the bridge pier foundation to be circular. Qingyangzi found the problem and lengthened the bridge pier and changed it to an oval shape parallel to the water flow. This greatly enhanced the bridge pier's ability to withstand floods.
.
People in this world rarely build bridges on rivers hundreds of meters wide, and even fewer can pass rail cars. The Chunlu River Bridge is the first, so some problems can only be discovered in practice.
"Senior brother has always cared about the people and would not see anyone working during the New Year. This time it was mainly to help the people working in the river." Li Fei said a few words to Tian Man.
"I'm here to help, too." Ruan Xingzhu flew upwind, his hands waving white dots of light.
A knowledgeable person will know at a glance that she is directing the wind direction, allowing the cold wind to bypass the construction site in the river.
The audience on the shore could immediately feel the change in the direction of the wind, and there was an endless stream of cheers, but no one dared to express their feelings to the beautiful magician. This is another place where men and women are not unequal.
Girls will not get into trouble if they confess to Ding Kui, and no one will look down upon them because of it; boys will be asking for trouble if they confess to Ruan Xingzhu, and will most likely get into trouble, and they will definitely be treated as fools.
The residents on both sides of the ferry were eye-opening. Two forbidden magicians performed free of charge to control the elements. One controlled the water element, and the other controlled the wind element. It was also an extremely effective promotion of magic, making more people yearn for themselves or their children to become a magician.
division.
"Okay, okay, climb up! Come on, come on, line up, don't fight!" Qing Yangzi organized workers to evacuate at the construction site of one of the bridge piers.
Seeing all the workers climbing to the top of the bridge pier, Tian Man removed the whirlpool, and the river water quickly flooded the bottom of the bridge pier.
"Commander Ding won't blame me for being nosy, right?" Tian Man's expression remained unchanged.
Continuously casting spells for several hours, although the magic output is very low, the mental energy consumption will not be small. It is difficult to do it as easily as him without a deep foundation.
"Master is joking, you have helped me a lot. I won't say much to thank you. If you have something to do in the future, don't be polite to me. I will definitely handle it for you." Ding Kui admired Tian Man's strength and personality.
The ferry sent a boat to pick up the workers, and Ding Kui ordered the wind-powered railcar to wait until all the workers had boarded before driving back to Juyang City.
"This rail car is indeed smooth and fast. It has a dedicated line and is very safe. How did you come up with it?" Tian Man asked Ding Kui curiously.
"I have been to the Far North Icefield and discovered a strange moving tool..." Ding Kui made up a story, lying that he saw someone using a sled, so he came up with the idea of building a railway.
"Interesting! I also want to go to the Far North Icefield. I heard there is a mysterious sect there." Tian Man looked yearning.
"Are you talking about the Ice and Snow Palace? It doesn't matter, they all know the identity of my sister-in-law."
"Oh, yes, yes, Princess Hua doesn't mind me saying more. The Ice and Snow Palace is the origin of the ice element. Being able to go there and gain enlightenment is a blessing for a water magician." Tian Man said clearly.
The Ice and Snow Shrine doesn't like others talking about them, and everyone respects their habits.
"That is indeed difficult. I heard from my sister-in-law that the Ice and Snow Shrine is not big and cannot accommodate a few people. It is unbearable for everyone to run there, so they rarely receive outsiders." Ding Kui did not reveal that he had been to Hantan.
Tian Man showed a regretful expression and said, "It's right to think about it. No sect would open their own holy land for cultivation. It's understandable."
Ding Kui's expression changed and he said: "Perhaps I can ask my sister-in-law to keep an eye on it. If there is a chance, I can let you try your luck, but I can't guarantee that it will work."
"Okay! With your words, I will accept your love whether it succeeds or not." Tian Man was very happy. Hua Juan came from the Ice and Snow Palace, so she must have more methods than others.
Hua Juan doesn't necessarily have to give Ding Kui face, but Tian Man's chances are much greater than before, and she finally sees a glimmer of hope.
"Can this sled be made for dry land?" Qing Yangzi finally took the opportunity to ask.
Ding Kui immediately thought of two rows of pulleys, but they couldn't be made with the current technology. "It's difficult and has too many restrictions. Building a pipeline can be used for people to play with, but it has no practical use." He shook his head.
"Well, indeed, there are requirements for roads, so it would be boring to become a toy." Qingyang Zi does not study toys.
"What you said reminds me that now that everyone is living a prosperous life, we may need some entertainment. It would be a good idea to build a sledding track in the scenic area." Ding Kui touched his chin.
There are no parks or paradise here at all. People's lives are too boring. A place where you can spend a little money to spend some time will definitely be very popular. I can try to build a hot spring paradise.
Li Fei joked: "I see gold coins in your eyes."
"Wow, me too." Ruan Xingzhu immediately agreed.
Ding Kui blinked and said, "Is it that obvious? It's a way to make a little money and make everyone's lives more fulfilling."
"Teacher is not only the god of craftsmanship, but my disciples think you are also the god of business. If you are promoted to the god of martial arts in the future, wouldn't you be the almighty god!" Qingyang Zi's unintentional words triggered Ding Kui's idea of making money, and he naturally admired him greatly.
"Sled sledding? Tell me." Tian Man was also aroused.
Slide sledding is very common on Earth, but it is definitely a novelty in the Shenyuan world, and it will definitely create a wave of craze.
"Oh." Tian Man was less interested after listening to Ding Kui's introduction, "Ordinary people can't fly, so they will be interested in this." The implication is that people who can fly are not interested in sliding sleds.
"Well, this is provided to ordinary people. The price should be set low so that everyone can afford it. If more people play, the profit will be considerable." Ding Kui did not design this thing for magicians to play with.
Advanced combatants have experienced the feeling of high speed and will not be interested in slide sleds, but ordinary people are different. A large number of ordinary people are Ding Kui's target customer group.
"Both adults and children can play. The teacher doesn't care about the level of skills, but only cares about people's feelings. He really loves the people like his own children, and the disciples admire him!" Qingyang Zi was actually ashamed.
At first he thought that making toys was a despicable thing, not worthy of a person of his level. After listening to what Ding Kui said, he suddenly realized that things for the public to play with and toys for personal play have different meanings. There is no nobility or despicability in entertaining the public.
It is meaningful if it can bring happiness to people.
Ding Kui's identity and status do not need to consider the entertainment of the lower class people at all, but he is willing to spend his time studying things that entertain the public. This state is what a craftsman god should have.
I just want to make some money. It is better to let people spend money on entertainment than to use it for gambling and prostitution. How can I have such noble feelings?
Ding Kui was ashamed, he didn't expect Qingyang Zi to lift him up so high.
"It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. When the people are happy, they will naturally be willing to listen to me. I'm not completely useless, let alone the useless ones. Do you think the craftsmanship of the slide sled is complicated?" He can plagiarize the work of his previous life.
Memory, but cannot implement it, it depends on Qingyang Zi.
"No, we need some manpower. Let's leave this matter to the disciples. We will definitely be able to make it before the eldest son is born." Qingyang Zi changed his previous idea and wanted to make the slide sled himself.
"Okay! I'll ask Grandpa Qian to allocate manpower and supplies for you. If you have everything you need, it wouldn't be a bad idea to celebrate the birth of your son." Ding Kui counted on his fingers and found that there were only a few months left.
"Aren't you a little partial in this way? Sister Yan may be unhappy." Ruan Xingzhu expressed her grievances for Long Yan.
"Jingjing has an 'artifact' to protect her. Others are envious of her. Xiaoyan is not as stingy as you think." Ding Kui began to miss Ao Yan.
He didn't know that Ao Yan had just received the summons from Ao Yu and was already practicing like crazy, and was unlikely to return to Shenyuan Continent in the short term.
The dragon clan has entered a state of preparation for war. They are different from humans. When fighting against the demon clan, every adult dragon is the main warrior. Ao Yan has the important task of inheriting the white dragon clan.
