Qingxin Palace Hall. Nothing seemed to have changed here.
There were only two people in the huge hall. One of them was Librarian Lin, who had a fake cough, and the other was Lin Qiaole, who was always sleeping.
When Ren Baqian walked into the courtyard, he saw Lin Qiaole lying on her back, sleeping soundly, and basking in the sun.
Compared to when he first saw her, she seemed to be more daring. Back then, she had always been sleeping in Qingxin Palace Hall and would get a shock every time someone came.
But now, not only was she openly lying in the courtyard, but she was also unshakable.
Ren Baqian walked around her and pushed open the door of Qingxin Palace Hall. After walking a dozen steps, he opened the door on the left and saw piles of secret manuals.
Speaking of which, the harvest from this trip to Tianjing Basin wasn't small.
Finally, he searched the rebellious sects and warlords' residences. After counting the gold, silver, and jewelry, he found at least 100,000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to a million taels of silver. The empress's annual income from the gold mine was only 120,000 taels of silver. A million taels of silver was already a huge sum for Dayao.
Unfortunately, this income eventually went to the national treasury.
The secret manuals in this house belonged to the empress. There were more than 13,000 secret manuals. Excluding the duplicates, there were at least 6,000 of them.
There were different levels of people, and so were the secret manuals. If they were classified according to the high, middle, and low levels, 80% of them could be classified as relatively shallow, 18% as intermediate, and close to 2% as high-level.
Less than 0.1% of the secret manuals were top-notch. For example, the treasures of the eight major sects could be classified as top-notch.
In addition, there were other miscellaneous things, such as face-changing. At first, Ren Baqian was rather interested in it, but after looking at it carefully, he realized that it wasn't much different from modern makeup. It was just that due to the materials used, the makeup would last longer on the face. It wasn't like in novels where a human skin mask would immediately change one's identity.
There were also some methods of making medicine, the secret methods of taming snakes, insects, war elephants, monkeys, and birds, as well as some other miscellaneous things.
One of the small sects had an interesting formula called the marching pill. If it was made according to the formula, the size of a fingernail would be enough to feed an ordinary person a meal.
Even for aboriginal warriors, the size of half a fist would be enough.
With this thing, a soldier could carry half a month to a month's worth of rations at a time. They could completely abandon the heavy logistics and long-distance raids.
The only problem was that many of the ingredients were produced in the Sixty Thousand Mountains, and there weren't many of them. They were expensive, so it was difficult to promote them to the entire army. They still needed the medical bureau to find something to replace them.
Ren Baqian picked out more than 500 low-level secret manuals, 50 middle-level secret manuals, and three high-level secret manuals.
The next step was to convert these secret manuals into simplified characters.
The ancients once said, "When there is a problem, the disciple will help. When there is wine and food, the teacher will serve. Is this filial piety?"
The ancients also said, "A filial son who has deep love must be amiable; amiable must be pleasing; pleasing must be graceful; pleasing must be gracious; pleasing must be gracious; pleasing must be gracious. When it is time to tell a story, the only thing that is difficult to listen to is lust; serving is not enough to be filial.
What it meant was: If there's a problem, the disciple will do it. There was wine and meat for Teacher to eat.
Furthermore, the disciple had to be amiable and happy. Even if you did it, if you didn't do it happily, that wouldn't be filial.
The next day, Ren Baqian gave them homework with a smile on his face. "From today onwards, each of you will take 12 secret manuals back and convert them into simplified characters. Write one and hand in one. If there are any mistakes, do you see the flagpole outside? I will let you flutter in the wind and let loose! If you don't finish writing, not only will you flutter in the wind for a day, but you will also receive bullets! "
When the students from the Black Bamboo Academy heard this and looked at the stacks of secret manuals that Ren Baqian asked people to move into the room, their faces turned green.
Each of them had to be responsible for 12 secret manuals for seven days. In addition, they had to attend classes in the morning. As a result, the lights in every student's room remained lit every night.
Seven days later, 49 students with panda eyes and gritted teeth stacked the secret manuals in one room. Seven days! During these seven days, everyone slept less than four hours a day!
After seven days, they began to doubt their lives.
The only good thing was that after seven days, their simplified Chinese characters were even better than Ren Baqian's. After all, he had been using a computer for so long that he almost couldn't write.
"Three days off. All of you have read about the steam engine in physics class. After three days, you will start learning how to build the steam engine!" Ren Baqian smiled as he took back more than 500 secret manuals and gave everyone three days off.
It was time to build the steam engine. The steam engine could be said to be the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Although the technology in this world hadn't developed to this stage, it would be very fast with its own impetus.
After the steam engine was built and had its own thrust, the development of technology would take a leap forward in a short period of time.
After hearing this, everyone directly lay on the table and didn't even have the energy to cheer. Their brains were almost emptied, and the steam engine was no longer in their consideration.
That night, Ren Baqian returned to Earth with the secret manuals. The six winged cavalry warriors and the tutor, Ding Jie, were drinking there. The six of them were mainly drinking, and Ding Jie was holding a glass of water and slurping it.
Two of them were bragging about how they had experienced storms and rainbows while the other four looked envious.
Ren Baqian grinned. Those two idiots. After he left, they went to look for a prostitute and ended up destroying her place! Then, they smashed her drug den. However, the physical fitness of these winged cavalry warriors was indeed too strong. Soft drugs like ecstasy and K powder basically had no effect on them.
That's right, they smashed the drug den because the ecstasy and K powder sold to them weren't effective. They felt cheated. They didn't know what it was and only heard that it felt like they were flying after using it …
"Lady boss!" Seeing Ren Baqian, the six tall and burly winged cavalry warriors stood up to greet him. Ren Baqian picked up a decorative ornament and threw it at them.
"Boss!" Only Ding Jie obediently called him boss. After all, an honest child was the most lovable.
"It's Second Boss!" Ren Baqian grunted, went upstairs to change his clothes, and called Yang Sen. He asked someone to move the secret manuals into the car and called a winged cavalry warrior to follow him out.
When he arrived at the underground garage of the Messier 87 department, Yang Sen was already waiting there with his men.
When he saw that the back seat and trunk were full of manuals, Yang Sen was immediately shocked! The members of the Messier 87 department behind Yang Sen all gasped in unison.
Although Ren Baqian had promised them before and had already called them in advance, he still didn't expect there to be so many.
One had to know that these were cultivation manuals! They weren't cabbages!
Previously, when Ren Baqian sent them the original version of the secret manuals, they usually stored them in a safe.
Although they knew that these things weren't very rare for Ren Baqian, they were still shocked to see him pulling a car full of them as if they were cabbages!
Ren Baqian was really generous this time! With these secret manuals, the deduction speed would be faster, and more types of martial arts could be deduced to suit different people. At the same time, they could better understand the cultivation system and the characteristics of each level through these secret manuals.
When Ren Baqian returned, he gave Ding Jie a secret manual that had been improved by the nation, which was the kind that Ren Baqian had given to his parents.
"This is for you. This is easier to learn and won't cause problems, but remember, don't spread it. If it spreads, you know the consequences. You will harm him and yourself. "
Ding Jie had always felt regretful after Ren Baqian stopped him from learning martial arts from the winged cavalry warriors. He would feel lost in bed at night, so it was a huge surprise to receive this secret manual from Ren Baqian.
"Boss, I will definitely do my best!"
