Chapter 318: Public transport agencies benefit the country and the people
"Hahaha, National Preceptor, I am here to thank you for your guidance that day."
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. Gongshu Qiu trotted all the way into the Imperial Prefect's Mansion with his legs that were not very flexible.
His son Gong Shuyi could only follow helplessly, constantly reminding him, "Father, please slow down, slow down."
"Now I have to say goodbye to Gongshu." Lu Yan walked out of the house and greeted Gongshu as a greeting as a joke.
"Oh, your Majesty, the Imperial Master, has disgraced me. If it had not been for the enlightenment of the Imperial Master that day, our father-in-law and his family would not be as successful as they are today."
"Haha, you have improved agricultural production tools and greatly improved agricultural production efficiency. The civilians in Guizhou Province have saved more time and energy in their work, and their work efficiency is higher. This is your own credit. It doesn't matter what I say. Just relying on my words, the people
But there’s no food to eat.”
"Master National Preceptor has a lofty realm and is honored by me."
Lu Yan bowed to him generously and said with a smile, "You came here specifically just to express your gratitude to me, right?"
Gong Shuqiu grinned, "To be honest, I came here to ask for advice shamelessly. This has already happened when the Imperial Master asked me to do the first step. How will I suppress the Mo family in the next step?"
"Hahaha, you old man is really impatient."
It is understandable that Lu Yan is anxious about Gongshu's hatred. After all, it is very rare that the Gongshu family can surpass the Mo family in terms of reputation.
"You still need to eat one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Nowadays, the public losers are only famous in the hearts of the people of Qin. If you want to directly suppress the reputation of the Mohist family, it is not enough for the time being."
When Gong Shuqiu heard this, he became a little anxious, "That's why I came to ask the Imperial Master for advice on what to do next."
"Don't be hasty. Reputation comes from fermentation and requires management. Nothing can be achieved overnight. Just spread these eight words, public transportation agencies, benefit the country and the people, together with new farm tools, to all countries without leaving a trace.
, it won’t take long before everyone in the world will feel that the public losers are still above the Mohists.”
"Master Imperial Master, how long will this take? When I think about the Gongshu family's centuries-old wish being realized in the hands of their enemies, I really feel... Well, Master Imperial Master, please forgive me."
Gong Shuqiu seemed to know that he had behaved badly, and turned to Lu Yan with a red face, which made him really embarrassed.
Lu Yan shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter. It can take as little as half a year, as long as a year, and the words "benefiting the country and benefiting the people" will spread throughout the world. "
"In order to thank the Imperial Preceptor for being so kind to me, I don't know how to do anything else. I only know how to make mechanisms. I made a small thing for the Imperial Preceptor. Please don't refuse. Yi, why don't you give me the thing?"
Presented."
"Yes, father. Master Imperial Master, please."
Gong Shuyi then took the unknown object wrapped in a long red cloth that he had been carrying on his back and presented it to him with both hands.
Lu Yan opened the red cloth and found a long and exquisite wooden box, with various beautiful patterns on it, beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and dragons and phoenixes singing together.
"What is this?"
Lu Yan just touched it lightly, and two more holes appeared in the wooden box with a "click" sound.
Gongshu Qiu said from the side: "I have heard for a long time that Master Guoshi is a rare master of two-handed swords in the world. He has a Qinggan sword with profound poetry and profound talent, and an unknown fire attribute sword. I specially made this sword box.
It can accommodate up to three swords at the same time. It is disrespectful to let Liao Liao think."
"Interesting." Lu Yan played with the mechanism twice and roughly figured out how to operate it.
Lu Yan instantly pulled out the three swords in his hand from the system space, and the three swords were instantly contained in the sword box.
"Sword comes~"
Lu Yan jumped out of the courtyard, roared softly, and the three swords flew out of the sword box one after another. After taking turns to release the sword moves in his hand, they flew back to the sword box.
"Hmm~ It's okay to use it for display and collection, but its practical use is greatly reduced. But I still want to thank Mr. Gongshu, so I'll accept it."
Gongshu Chou said with a smile on his face, "As long as you can get into the eyes of the Imperial Master, Qiu has been bothering you for a long time, so I won't waste your time anymore. Farewell."
Gongshuyi also bowed to say goodbye.
"Go well, I'm sorry you can't send me far away."
After the father and son left, Lu Yan put the sword box on the shelf behind his study and muttered, "It's a useless thing, but it looks pretty good, so let's just put it here."
As for the three swords, there is system space to save them, so there is no need to bother with them.
Putting down the sword case, Lu Yan raised his head and glanced at the parrot outside the window, gathered his mood and said, "Come in."
Before he finished speaking, a figure in a dark green cloak appeared, "Yingge has met the National Preceptor."
"How is it? What progress has been made in the past few months?"
"All business transactions under the leadership of Lord Anling of Wei State are under Yingge's watch, but no suspicious traces have been caught."
Lu Yan frowned upon hearing this, "A force that mainly focuses on business can actually not be exposed at all. It seems that the Iron Blood Alliance can see the current situation clearly."
Yingge asked: "Sir, are you saying that the Iron Blood Alliance has sensed the danger and Lord Anling has been abandoned?"
"It's very possible that it's a bit difficult to catch the Iron Blood Alliance's tail." Lu Yan couldn't help but think of the fish intestine sword, "Mr. Anling can put it away first. The Wei market is here.
After Lord Ling falls, we will investigate the successor. You first go to Jianghu to collect information on the Xu family, a famous sword-making family in Chu State, the sooner the better."
"Yes, sir." Yingge disappeared immediately after saying that.
The Iron-Blooded Alliance can sense the danger from the feudal princes competing for hegemony, and must also be able to see clearly the direction of the general trend of the world. In any case, the Iron-Blooded Alliance cannot be tolerated by the big powers.
Lu Yan's eyes narrowed, "Let me see how long you can hide."
…
The new agricultural tools that appeared in the Qin State during the spring planting season soon began to spread to other countries in Shandong. Since agriculture was the lifeblood of this era, the monarchs of various countries also quickly paid attention to it and imitated the Qin State in improving agricultural tools.
In this process, the agricultural tools of public losers went to shops in various countries through commercial circulation, and were transferred to farmers all over the world.
"Do you know? This is an improvement made by the Gongshu family to help poor farmers save time and effort."
"Have you heard? Mr. Lu Yan once commented that public transportation agencies benefit the country and the people."
"You are all behind on the news. These new farm tools can flow out of Qin at low prices. It is said that the Gongshu family persuaded the King of Qin in order to benefit the people of the world."
"New agricultural tools also appeared in the Yan Kingdom. They are said to be more useful than those of the public losers. I heard they were made by the Mohists."
"The Mo family is shameless. If the public losers hadn't taken the lead in thinking about our farmers, the Mo family probably wouldn't have taken out these good things in their next life."
"That's right. They are both famous for their machine skills, but there is a huge gap between the two families' ambitions."
"I heard that the reason why Gongshujia has such a bad reputation is that the Mo family is working behind the scenes!"
"Really? The Mo family is really bad."
"Otherwise, what good things do you think the Mo family has done over the years? You can't think of one at all."
…
Don't worry, let your reputation ferment for a while.
