It was clearing up after the rain on the grassland. There were still some dark clouds in the sky, casting large dark shadows on the ground. There were patches of light red sky between the dark clouds, and sunlight penetrated through the western sky.
The herdsmen looked at the grassland and saw two slender snow-white dragon shadows quickly breaking through the sky, shuttling between the clouds and the sun. It was picturesque under the sunset. After this beauty, they were shocked. Many herdsmen couldn't help but kneel down: "Dragon King bless...
God bless you..."
When you are at high altitude, you feel the air whistling in your ears, and you are facing the moist and warm wind. Below you can see the green or dark green grassland, sometimes patches of green and yellow farmland, with many colorful patches on the earth.
Carry the clouds and water over the mountains, disperse the rain, and then return...and carry it...and return...
The daily life in Shuifu is like this. When you are free, you will have nothing to do all day long, but when you are busy, you will never be idle for a moment. It feels a bit like raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a short time.
However, for the dragon girl, it is no longer a big deal to experience the strong winds and waves of the earth and ocean, and her strength is several times stronger than when she first took office as the water master two years ago.
It used to take twelve hours to turn around, but now it can be done easily in one day. Cultivation can directly increase production in the Shuifu system.
By evening, the task had been completed ahead of schedule. On the way back, two dragon shadows crossed the highest ridge of the Beimang Mountains in this area. The sky immediately darkened, and the rain poured down, getting bigger and bigger, until finally the sky and the earth were completely gray.
, Hengyun felt much colder.
"With this watershed, the gap is really big..." Jingyu said from behind, she was a little worried: "Will Wei have an advantage in grain production in the future?"
Hengyun recalled the recent exchanges with several female monks from the Qingmu Sect, and said: "But the Dongzhou side is not bad, it is close to the source of astronomical tides, but there are no such heavy rains. My husband hopes to open up that side, which will be the main source of grain production in the future.
district……"
The dark clouds above suddenly generated pressure, a white light lit up the sky and the earth, two dragon shadows dispersed instantly, thunder and lightning passed through it, and there was a roaring sound. The high temperature evaporated the rain, and the white mist carried a fishy smell - this was only possible on a thunderstorm day.
There will be a taste.
"We flew too high just now." Jingyu said, and gave a safe suggestion: "In the evening, the astronomical tides mix with the power of the black stars in the outer world. There is no need for us to be in such a hurry on our return."
Hengyun said "Hmm", she actually didn't pay much attention to the thunder and lightning just now. She came back from the soil and her strength has greatly improved. Even if she was hit, it would be no big deal.
But now as she progresses in her practice, she gradually stops showing off, and the two of them descend together.
For a moment, the mountains opened up, and the world was composed of relatively flat fields, rivers, workshops, and the blurry details of the rain curtain, making the vast background of the entire sky, earth, and human world stand out. They could feel the aura rising from the ground network in the heavy rain.
Concentrate towards a certain center.
The entire vast background slowly shifted in their eyes, and after a few breaths, a hill full of spiritual energy appeared in front of them - Nanlian Mountain had arrived.
Finding a familiar aura, the dragon's shadow flashed towards the front of the political hall, and transformed into two girls in a pavilion. He glanced at the young man talking to someone in the hall, waved to him, and asked him to continue his work.
The two sisters were playing with the chessboard in the pavilion, with their slender hands, and the black and white pieces fell on the chessboard, slowly entertaining themselves... They were probably the most comfortable people living in the Hanhou Mansion.
Not only his status, but also his life philosophy of being able to entertain himself all the time, which may be inseparable from Jiaolong's long lifespan.
The wind was much lighter, the rain was dripping quietly on the eaves, and the abundant water spirit between heaven and earth covered the two girls with a veil, making people's hearts flutter.
Ye Qing withdrew his admiring gaze and nodded to Ji Caizhu: "Continue talking."
"...Emperor Wa of central Hunan has rushed back. This morning he and Sanqing drove away a Zhenjun ship, but the ship went to Xiangyin Cave Heaven again."
Ji Caizhu caught a glimpse of movement in the pavilion out of the corner of his eye, and did not dare to be distracted. He only reported: "It is said that the fleet group has been unable to attack for a long time, and encountered a large number of immortal snipers. It has suffered heavy losses. It is estimated that it will be over."
Ye Qing touched the stubble on his chin and said: "Zhang Weicun got a ride, but he will lose a lot of points in the Fire and Virtue lineage. There are many princes in the three lines of Fire, Earth and Metal.
The competition is fierce...what's going on with Prince Qing?"
"A few days after our mission had just withdrawn, the Prince of Qing led his men to intervene in southern Hunan and besiege a foreign ship. As a result, the main force of our army in northern Hunan returned to central Hunan yesterday and threatened Fengliang City... The troops of the Prince's Palace had to withdraw.
Fengliang City now has to guard against our army and has no time to spare... Of course, it has not crossed the border and invaded our counties..."
Ye Qing was not surprised. The Zhuxian Sword Formation had been stationed in central Hunan recently, and the expulsions were in place. Without foreign ships, how could they dare to take the opportunity to "help in the suppression"?
"This is because people are incompetent and snakes swallow up elephants. Even if Hunan is still not enough, I bet that I can't resist the pressure of the court. I bet on the control of the lower reaches of the Qianjing River. If I want to go to the Eastern Wasteland, I must compromise and give up Xiangbei..." He
He made such casual comments without paying much attention.
Ji Caizhu nodded. He knew that the lord and the Lord of Wei had reached a secret alliance and borrowed a way. Thinking of it, his face looked strange: "By the way, for this reason, the Marquis of Xiang specially sent a letter, accusing the prince of reneging on his word. Please don't believe this."
people."
So just?
Ye Qing was surprised for a moment, then laughed out loud: "This is asking us to fight against the imperial court, help southern Hunan, attract hatred and firepower... Zhang Weicun, this old and cunning guy..."
"How do we reply to the letter?"
"Just say..." Ye Qing straightened his face and said seriously: "I strongly condemn the unrighteousness of the Qing Commandery and express my deep sympathy and condolences to the allies in southern Hunan. We will continue to carry out economic soft aggression... Oh, it's humane and righteous.
Rescue.”
Ji Caizhu swallowed his saliva and said to himself - who is more cunning?
He took a quick note in his notebook, decided to copy it like this, and continued to report: "The last thing is that the Northern Wei handover mission sent back news this morning, and signed a series of commercial and trade agreements and futures contracts with the Wei Palace to clarify the resources and futures contracts between the two parties.
The terms in the market are all subject to negotiation."
"Deposits for some raw material futures were delivered, and deposits for some military supplies from the Northern Wei Dynasty were obtained... and the first batch of iron materials and yam raw materials were already on the way back. Due to time constraints, Li Shaofu asked whether to expand production in advance...
…”
"Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll go to the workshop area later and tell Li Huaiji directly."
Ye Qing said casually and glanced at Ji Caizhu: "Diplomacy can be more low-key recently. Forging iron requires one's own strength. Next, our focus will be on internal industry development and external trade. We will be ready to divert to the East China Sea via the Beihai Sea.
Reclaiming the Eastern Wasteland to gain strength to complete the Green System strategy avoids direct conflict with the eastern states. There should not be many foreign wars. Please pay more attention to diplomacy and let me know if there is any news."
"Yes, I will retire." Ji Caizhu put away the notes and left quickly.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry to go to the workshop area and walked towards the pavilion where Long Nu was sitting. Watching them play Go, he casually pointed out: "Go here... here... Hengyun, you are going to be eaten..."
"Ah... you are just giving blind advice, husband." Hengyun became angry and pushed Ye Qing out: "Don't interrupt."
Ye Qing laughed, exhaled, and went to the workshop area.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu led a group of guards behind them. Ye Qing did not hold an umbrella and walked alone in the rain. Along the white pebble road in front of the house, he quickly passed through the government buildings and arrived at a school ground. On one side of the school ground was a high school
There is a high wall, with iron roofs and red brick chimneys of continuous workshops on one side. You can also hear the sound of the train's steel wheels rubbing against the rails, and there is a soft sound due to the simple filtering of the wide-area sound insulation barrier.
In the immortal's consciousness, this industrial city is vast, ten times larger than when it was first built three years ago, extending twenty miles straight to the lower reaches of the Nanyu River, and completely submerging the Cao family.
I remember hearing my cousin talk about it two months ago. Usually when the female relatives came to visit, they would talk about trivial matters at home. Some time ago, many women complained to her, saying that they received a large amount of compensation for selling farmland. They were all happy at first, but then
After making money, men no longer want to work hard in workshops and become idle, gambling and drinking all day long.
This matter put Cao Baijing in a dilemma. She could restrain her family from doing evil things and couldn't care about the problem of self-motivation. Later, she consulted her husband over the dinner table and suggested that her relatives convert their residences into street shops. Each family ran a mom-and-pop shop, so there were fewer complaints.
A lot.
These memories...these memories of human events...were still very clear when I thought about them as immortals, but their meaning in life has gradually faded away, leaving only emotional marks and fetters.
Not just imprints, they are necessary for the survival of the entire system and the development of one's own immortality.
"And in fact, the adjustment of industry is ultimately the adjustment of people..."
Ye Qing thought about it, went all the way in, and found Li Huaiji in the innermost laboratory of the workshop area: "I'm sure you want to expand production, but it has to be built beyond the standard. There are several key points - based on several railways
The main artery is the axis of new and expanded factories, related factories of Lingshi and steel heavy industries."
Ye Qing stopped for a moment, looked at Li Huaiji and asked, "If there is anything else you need, just tell me."
"Now that the Gongfang District has enough manpower, and all construction materials and machinery are in place, there is no obstacle to expanding the factory." Li Huaiji was so busy that his eyes were darkened, but he responded with ease and confidence.
Ye Qing smiled and knew that it was not that he didn't want to expand, but that he lacked manpower - not only in quantity, but also in quality. Operational errors such as the brewery and weaving would only delay the work, while the mines and the Fire Spirit Workshop would be damaged.
Machines and human lives are lost.
In troubled times, there is a shortage of food. We must ensure that the local agricultural population does not engage in the British sheep-eating man-eating enclosure movement on earth...or in the future colonization of Dongzhou, the food is fully guaranteed and can be extracted at will. This condition is not yet available.
On the one hand, farmers need to be trained to become qualified industrial workers. It takes half a month to become literate, and it is even more troublesome to be illiterate... The report submitted by the Shaofu shows that Yingzhou cannot solve this problem.
It is only now that the difficulty of obtaining Xiangzhou's educated population and worker training has been greatly reduced, and the contradiction between industrial expansion and food red lines has been solved.
"Don't boast, do you dare to issue a military order?" Ye Qing smiled, remembering that back then, he was still a cynical and even somewhat anti-immortal young man, but now he is a person who is dedicated to taking root in technology.
However, if there are no immortals and gods who manifest their saints, industry and technology can still dominate, but if there are, there will be no chance.
With both the technology of the past life and the immortality of this life, Ye Qing can make this conclusion.
Without it, asymmetric ears.
The essence of technology is that it must be composed of hundreds of millions of parts (whether machines or people) to function.
Even if the Immortal God cannot be used as an atomic bomb, it is more than enough to destroy a key component - don't you hear that the moon landing rocket will set off fireworks with just one screw?
In the Death Comes series, every immortal knows it, so how can technology stop it?
Billions of parts and components can organize the essence of society and technology. Once a god appears, it will be like technology eliminating witchcraft. The manifestation of the saint will destroy technology.
