Chapter 1229: Mechanical puppet technique, creating a realm gate!
The city building plan of Fangshan City was abandoned.
The adjacent boundary gate is a lively scene.
Normally they are all high-ranking and well-educated scholars with wide robes and long sleeves, but now they are all wearing short clothes, wearing straw sandals, sweating like rain, carrying bricks, and working.
The peasants who kept coming to deliver materials were quite surprised and stood by, refusing to leave.
"With these muscles and long legs, I really didn't expect them to be a group of great scholars. I thought they were so shriveled under their robes..." ??
But with this big and round figure in front of me, those who didn’t know better thought he was a fierce general on the battlefield!
"Nonsense, otherwise, why would people say that civil servants are strong!"
"That's not necessarily true. Mr. Chen Hou, who came to our Youzhou, was also born in Wuxun. He beat a group of civil servants and made them cry for father and mother. Have you forgotten?"
A group of civilians were chattering away.
Bai Qi and three Mohist half-sages, who were in charge of supervising the work not far away, were watching the busy scholars with no intention of taking action.
"These great scholars are easy to use. With a little training, one person can be as powerful as hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people. It would be great if they could be used like this in the future..."
A Mohist half-sage said with emotion.
The key point is that Confucians and Mohists have never dealt with them, but being able to command and control these Confucian scholars, for him, the joy in his heart is naturally indescribable.
Bai Qi glanced at him and said: "If you work harder, you may not be able to try to learn the machine puppet technique. By then, you can make any useful helper, so why use people!"
The half-sage of the Mo family curled his lips and said: "I am not you, Mr. Bai! You collected ancient books and studied them for more than a hundred years, and only then did you extract the 'Infinite Dolls' sacred treasure. How can you use the dolls to do everything on your behalf?"
Is it something we can match?"
You must know that in literary and Taoist cultivation, because of the lack of cultivation in a settled environment, one starts as a great Confucian.
Therefore, when they reach the stage of great Confucianism, even though they begin to master extraordinary powers, they cannot increase their life span. At most, they can only live longer than ordinary people.
If the ban had not been lifted now, Bai Qi might have died. It can be said that he devoted his whole body and soul to the puppetry technique to achieve today's achievements.
Even now, they have become semi-saints, but they are not willing to spend so much time and energy practicing the puppet art.
After all, in today's Mo family, Guancheng and Guanjia are the current mainstream.
The huge battlefield machinery, the giant machine city, the machine beast, and the machine armor that can be worn and run around, how can it be compared to the relatively fragile machine doll!
"That's right, Mr. Bai's ability is beyond our comparison!"
The half-sage of the Mo family next to him hurriedly responded, but the conversation changed and he talked about other things, "Mr. Bai, my reading at night has been quite monotonous recently. Can you make a custom-made lady doll for me, which should be more realistic..."
"You can choose your own materials, and the crafting fee will be charged separately."
Bai Qi made a very skillful quotation, "You are responsible for providing the various dimensions of the doll, and I will adjust the detailed proportions appropriately."
"make a deal!"
The Mo family's half-sage's eyes lit up and he agreed without hesitation. Then he quickly wrote down a series of numbers and handed them to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi glanced at the numbers and showed a look that every man could understand.
"Okay! However, you need to prepare more materials."
"no problem!"
The majestic Half-Saint was actually playing with a puppet. It was a disgrace to the Mo family!
When another half-sage of the Mo family saw this scene, he couldn't help but cover his face and shouted in a low voice as if he was ashamed: "
I want one too! Add more money and expedite it!"
"It's all there, no rush, no rush, just pay the deposit first and everything will follow."
Bai Qi grinned and showed a happy smile.
In the past, he was secretive, but now after picking up the divine treasure, he urgently needs supplies, so he can no longer care about so much, and has almost filled up the internal market of the Mohist family by himself. ??
After all, the Mohist school is composed of a group of bachelors who specialize in mechanical arts and science. They lack people to take care of them on weekdays. His mechanical puppet can be of sufficient use.
The key is verisimilitude.
In addition, he will basically make them less durable. In this way, coupled with subsequent maintenance and constant repurchase, he can continuously obtain resources.
And this scene naturally fell into the eyes of Yang Fan, who came to inspect the construction of the border gate.
"What's so good about the machine doll..."
He pouted, no matter how realistic it is, how can it be as good as a real person?
Looking past Bai Qi and the others, he looked at Zhang Wenlong and a group of great scholars. After more than ten days of construction, the boundary gate had taken initial shape.
A huge circular arch with a diameter of one hundred feet, and underneath is a three-foot-high platform. Every piece of material is engraved with dense carvings, giving it an ancient and clumsy look.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is a faint divine light flowing through the circular arch, as fine as a net, and it seems to be connected to some mysterious space.
"good."
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, a woman wearing armor suddenly appeared here.
Her facial features are exquisite and her beauty is astonishing.
It was actually Chu Lianxin.
She just arrived here yesterday. Because of Li Zhengxuan and Wang Dongchen, there was a fierce quarrel in the court, especially
In particular, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, angrily rebuked Yang Fan, the director of the West Factory, for not knowing the etiquette and law, and for being unworthy of the Ming Dynasty!
In particular, Yang Fan's strategy of receiving foreigners has attracted a lot of criticism.
Of course, there are many people who support Yang Fan.
Among them, the main ones are nobles and generals.
They despise the so-called enlightenment and appeasement strategies of civil servants the most. On the contrary, Yang Fan's method is more recognized by them. After all, how can a group of foreigners deserve the same treatment as us, the people of the Ming Dynasty?
As the newly promoted Chu Hou, Chu Lianxin naturally supported Yang Fan unequivocally.
Moreover, Mrs. Chu, as a frequent reader of the Ming Times, also published an article about the difference between closeness and distance, and the difference between inside and outside.
The content directly points out that foreigners are not our people, and they have no significant contribution but they need special treatment. This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Ming Dynasty. It seems to show the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it contains evil intentions!
The final result was naturally that Zhu Gaozhen spoke and supported Yang Fan's approach, and no matter how dissatisfied the Minister of Rites and others were, they could only suppress it.
After all, the most important thing currently before the Ministry of Rites is to prepare for Emperor Ming's birthday.
It was at this time that Chu Lianxin was arranged by the Ministry of War to come to Youzhou to prevent the people of Fangshan Ancient Realm from causing rebellion. When critical, he could directly lead the army to suppress it.
Of course, she also had to be controlled by Yang Fan, the factory supervisor of the West Factory.
Therefore, on the first night when she led the army, she was personally called to the main tent by Yang Fan, the director of the West Factory, who gave her a good experience of what it means to crush someone to death at the first level of an official.
