"Boss, two bowls of tofu pudding! Two trays of steamed buns. "Ren Baqian and the empress attracted a lot of attention when they walked into the breakfast shop.
It would be normal to see such a woman in a five-star hotel, but it was strange to see her in a small breakfast shop.
"Sweet or salty?"
"It's salty!" Ren Baqian answered matter-of-factly. There's even savory tofu pudding in this world? Can that thing be eaten?
"Sweet!" The empress couldn't understand other words, but she could understand this "sweet".
Ren Baqian and the empress looked at each other.
After a while, the tofu pudding was served. The empress frowned when she saw the thick braised soup. However, she still took a sip and found that the taste was pretty good.
After breakfast, when they were driving past the plaza, the empress suddenly said, "How about building two such plazas in Lan City?"
Yesterday, she walked around the square with Ren Baqian. The ordinary people there were either exercising or having fun. Their leisurely attitudes and satisfied expressions made her feel that having such a place in the city wasn't bad.
"That's possible, but it doesn't make much sense. In fact, the infrastructure of many cities is more important. I see that many places in the city are still dirt roads, and there are puddles of water everywhere after the rain. The drainage system in the city relied on the ditches, and if it rained heavily, the ditches would often flood.
Currently, it was difficult to transform Lan City. It was even more troublesome than rebuilding a city. Why don't we build a new city like this after we earn money? "
Ren Baqian pointed to the surroundings.
"Then, we'll gradually transform the old city into Twin Cities. The prerequisite is that we have to make money first. " Ren Baqian turned his head and said. The more he talked, the more he deviated from the topic. Unknowingly, he changed the topic from building a plaza to building a new city. Both of them actually didn't find anything wrong with it.
However, Lan City was a remnant of the former Hao Nation, and its facilities were too backward. It was much easier to build a new city than to renovate it.
Furthermore, they could plan all kinds of facilities from the very beginning.
Especially after making cement, it would be very easy to build a city. It was no longer like before, where they had to cut out rocks from afar to grind and transport them over a long distance.
The only problem was the Imperial Palace. It was not easy to rebuild the Imperial Palace, especially those gardens.
Of course, this was just a city and didn't have much significance to Dayao as a whole. If he wanted to rapidly improve the infrastructure of Dayao, he would need an astronomical amount of money.
To change Dayao as a whole, there was still a long way to go. It wasn't just a matter of money.
After he went back, he would create a comparison table between Chinese characters and Dayao characters within a short period of time. Then, he would recruit a few people to translate some basic scientific knowledge into Dayao characters and train a batch of students. After a few years, this batch of students who had learned some basic physics and chemistry would be the spark.
If everything depended on him, he would die earlier than Zhuge Liang. He would die of exhaustion.
…
The two of them wandered around the Earth for three days and finally returned to Yangxin Palace Hall with bags of various sizes.
Two drones. He had bought five drones in a short period of time. Even the boss of the specialty store knew him.
As for the solar energy storage battery, he brought along two small storage batteries. Ren Baqian was actually optimistic about a type of storage battery that could store 3.6 kWh of electricity and the supporting equipment. It would be sufficient for the lighting, electric fans, and other equipment in Yangxin Palace Hall. It was a pity that it was too heavy. The entire set, including the packaging, weighed 70 kilograms. He could only bring it next time.
This time, he brought 20 walkie-talkies with him. It would be convenient for him to communicate with others.
For example, if the empress wanted to look for Ren Baqian, she could directly use the walkie-talkie. It could be used as a mobile phone within a short distance.
This time around, he wasn't using the mass-produced walkie-talkies. This time around, he was using a branded walkie-talkie. It could be used as a mobile phone within a short distance.
After returning to Yangxin Palace Hall, Ren Baqian first adjusted the two specially prepared walkie-talkies. These two were the most expensive and had the most powerful functions. They could even monitor other channels. He handed one to the empress and carried the other one. At the same time, he left a solar energy storage battery with the empress. Only then did he get someone to carry the bags back to Pingle Park.
Ren Baqian went back to his room and lay on his bed for a while. He took out the walkie-talkie and called the empress. When he heard some noise coming from the other side, Ren Baqian spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Your Majesty!"
After a while, the empress's voice came from the other side, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, Hong Luan and Qing Yuan, who weren't far from the empress, widened their eyes and looked at the small orange box in the empress's hands. Furthermore, it was Deputy Prefect Ren's voice?
Ren Baqian pondered for a while. He was just bored and teasing the empress. If he were to speak the truth, he would probably get beaten up. Hence, he said, "I tried to use the signal. Now that I have tested it, good night, Your Majesty."
The other side immediately switched off the walkie-talkie.
Ren Baqian grinned and placed the walkie-talkie aside. He first entered the [Visualization of Water] to cultivate. After a while, he woke up and fell asleep on his bed.
Meanwhile, in Yangxin Palace Hall, the empress stared blankly at the walkie-talkie in her hands. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
It seemed that this palace hall wasn't that cold and desolate anymore.
She waved at Qing Yuan and Hong Luan, "Both of you can leave now."
After placing the walkie-talkie aside, she lay down on her bed.
Early the next morning, Ren Baqian brought along a stack of papers that recorded the craftsmanship of cement and the characteristics of various ores. He left the palace and headed to the Ministry of Works. Ten tall and strong imperial bodyguards surrounded him. Ren Baqian's small body was immediately submerged in the crowd. It was as if he was surrounded by a wall.
The guards of the Ministry of Works had a deep impression of Deputy Prefect Ren, who was assassinated the moment he left the Ministry of Works. Furthermore, Tong Zhenye had specially taken care of Ren Baqian. Ren Baqian was invited in the moment he arrived at the door. Tong Zhenye had already been waiting in the room when he received the news.
"Sir Minister!" Ren Baqian cupped his fists and greeted.
"The things that you mentioned previously have been brought back. Let's go and take a look first." Tong Zhenye impatiently pulled Ren Baqian out. He had been waiting anxiously for a long time. At this moment, he didn't even want to say a word of nonsense.
Tong Zhenye pulled Ren Baqian all the way to a room at the back of the Ministry of Works. Then, he stopped, pointed to the front and said, "The things that you want are all here."
Ren Baqian didn't know what the room in front of him was used for previously. Now, it was completely empty. There were piles upon piles of all kinds of things. There were limestone, gypsum stones, clay, feldspar, dolomite, and there was even a pile of coal at the side.
Ren Baqian didn't really understand these things previously. He could only rely on the things recorded on the papers in his hands to distinguish them. It seemed like there wasn't any problem. He hoped that the ores in this world weren't too different from those on Earth.
"Do you have iron ore?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked.
"How much do you need?" Tong Zhenye asked in a deep voice.
"Just a little. One cartload will do," Ren Baqian said. Iron ore powder was needed to make cement. However, this material could be produced at the Mount Liucui iron mine. He didn't mention it previously, but now that he was going to make it, he needed it.
Now, the first thing he had to do was to burn some of the cement according to the formula that he had obtained from the internet. He wanted to see if there were any differences from those on Earth. If there were any problems, he would have to try to adjust the formula bit by bit. That would be a little troublesome.
When there were no problems with the cement formula, he could prepare for the large-scale mining and transportation of materials for production.
"Yes."
"Is there any place in the city with clay kilns?" Ren Baqian asked again.
"There aren't any in the city, but there are some outside the city," Tong Zhenye replied while stroking his beard.
