"Palace Master, are we going to the Imperial Palace directly?"
"Let's find a place to settle down and walk around," Zong Shang said lightly.
He was very interested in some of the current changes in Lan City. After passing through the road from the Yun Nation to Lan City, his interest had intensified and could even be said to be urgent.
Previously, he could only read about it from the dossiers, but now, he could finally see it with his own eyes.
After entering the city, Zong Shang looked at the electric poles on the roadside from time to time. It was said that these things made Lan City brightly lit.
Nowadays, many people in Great Xia had heard of Lan City's reputation as a Sleepless City.
However, it was hard for the people of Great Xia to imagine that such a name would appear in a place like Dayao, which was like a barren land.
Some people even speculated that Dayao had stolen a huge amount of kerosene from the Yun Nation and lit it up in the city overnight.
It was a very foolish guess, but outsiders would never be able to imagine what an electric lamp looked like. It was even difficult for them to understand.
On the other hand, the Temple of Heaven's dossier said, "Place thunder and lightning in a crystal ball, and the night will be bright."
After settling down, Zong Shang led a few people to walk on the streets of Lan City.
"I haven't seen many people fighting fiercely along the way. It's a little different from the rumors."
"It is said that Lan City has built eight arenas. Any disputes will be settled in the arenas. Otherwise, there will be heavy penalties," Jiao Pingsui said.
Zong Shang nodded slightly. This was a good idea. Not only did this maintain the aggressive nature of the aboriginals, but it also reduced disputes among the people.
Only a nation like Dayao, where strength was respected and the imperial court was filled with top-notch experts, could use this method. It was impossible for other nations to do so.
"What is this place? Why does it smell so bad? "
"It should be Jing Hua …" Jiao Ping guessed.
The well was a place to relieve oneself. It was usually a building that was slightly taller than an ordinary building, and one could go up the stairs from the outside.
Below it was a bucket filled with filth.
"Oh?" Zong Shang took a quick look at it. It was different from the common well spiders in Great Xia. It was much bigger, and there were no external stairs or doors. People could only enter from the side.
Normally, only one person could enter a well, but this one had many people entering, so it looked even messier.
After all, with his status, there was no way he would pay attention to this kind of thing.
Then, Zong Shang went straight to Jingyang Street, which was his destination.
Whenever he saw a shop with a sign of the royal family hanging on it, he would go in and take a look. After walking around, he saw quite a few rare items.
Especially the Royal Department Store. The table clock, toothpaste, wheat, vermicelli, soy sauce, and underwear were things he had never seen before. He especially liked the table clock and sugar, so he specially bought some.
Following which, Ren Baqian went to the glass shop, the condiment shop, and even the pastry shop and the bookstore to gain some understanding of the new products that had appeared in Dayao.
At present, it seemed that they were mainly focused on the livelihood of the people. However, this was also normal. The truly important things would not appear here.
However, he did buy a lot of books in the bookstore. He was very interested in these things.
As for the pastry shop, it had just been opened for a month. Every day, there was a tempting aroma coming from it.
There were not many types of pastries, only a few types of pastries and a few types of sugar. However, the taste was excellent, and there was even freshly squeezed fruit juice.
Although the price was not low, it was sold out every day after it was released.
Tong Lan was a regular customer here. She spent more than half of her monthly salary here, which made her rather resentful.
Zong Shang wandered in Lan City until it was dark and was finally satisfied. Lan City had indeed changed.
Along the way, he saw some non-aboriginals walking the same way as the aboriginals. Both sides turned a blind eye to each other, and the situation was much better than what he had heard before.
It seemed that the people of Lan City were also changing.
He only saw it after the street lights were turned on at night. If the literati of Great Xia were here, they might have left behind two poems that would be passed down through the ages.
It would have been even better if there were no white skeletons with little red flowers hanging everywhere that teased his nerves from time to time.
In particular, when the night wind blew, it was really chilly and ghostly wails and wolf howls.
…
The next day, Zong Shang requested to see the empress and Ren Baqian.
The empress did not give him a good look. In fact, it was already a form of tolerance that she did not make a move on the spot, and Zong Shang would not have any opinion on this.
However, Zong Shang's main purpose was to see Ren Baqian. In addition, he also wanted to see the child who had caused an uproar.
Ren Baqian did not care about this.
It could be said that Qi Yuqing had an extremely high status in the hearts of these experts.
In the future, when she walked out of the land of exile, this child would probably be the top fighting force of the human race.
After seeing the little fellow, Zong Shang looked at Ren Baqian and asked, "Can I see her condition? The muscles on her body seem a little unnatural. "
Ren Baqian nodded.
In fact, he also knew what was going on with Qi Yuqing's muscles.
Back then, she absorbed too much essence blood from the empress's body, and the power was too great for her. As a result, she was born with muscles.
As she gradually grew up, the energy stored in her body would gradually be absorbed, and she would return to her normal body size.
However, it was hard to say whether she could develop a body of muscles again …
Zong Shang's conclusion after seeing her was the same as what Ren Baqian had learned before.
As for the speed of recovery, it was difficult to calculate. This was because it still depended on her martial arts talent and the speed at which she transformed essence blood.
In the past, there were cases of Spirit Wheel experts giving birth to children. Although the descendants of Spirit Wheel experts were usually more talented, there had never been a situation like Qi Yuqing's. As a result, no one dared to easily measure it.
However, Ren Baqian did not care.
Even if she grew up to be a body of muscles, with her status, there was no need to worry about not being able to get married.
After that, Zong Shang stayed in Lan City for half a month and saw the steam train. He was greatly impressed by this tool.
If the human race wanted to get out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains, it wouldn't be possible with just a few people. They would need a large number of experts, a strong army, a large number of supplies, and a steady stream of follow-up forces.
It would also be difficult for so many people to cross the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
Back then, the average strength of the last 100,000 people was much stronger than it was now. There were almost no old or weak people among them. However, only half of the 100,000 people were left.
Previously, when he heard Ren Baqian say that there was a tool to fly in the sky, he also thought about it.
However, after seeing the train, he immediately realized that this tool could send the human race across the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
Of course, enough tracks had to be laid.
However, as long as there were enough materials and manpower, this could be achieved.
A few days later, the first batch of tractors would be sold, and Zong Shang would be able to see this new steel monster with his own eyes.
After four months, Ren Baqian finally saved up 200 tractors, which was already the full production capacity.
However, the experts had made adjustments to the production line, and the craftsmen were more familiar with it. In the future, the production speed should be much faster.
Previously, most of the people in Lan City had heard of this kind of metal monster that could walk on its own. When the five tractors drove into Lan City, the entire city was in an uproar. Countless people crowded on both sides of the streets just to catch a glimpse of this kind of metal monster.
Next, it was the newly opened royal Geely Tractor 4S shop. Someone explained the parameters and functions of the tractors in front of the shop. Of course, most people couldn't understand and were just there to watch the excitement.
However, when the sales started, 200 tractors were sold in a flash, and more than 500 were reserved.
Of course, some of these people were from the various departments, and some were arranged by Ren Baqian himself. What surprised him was that the Zhang family and a few other merchants from the Yun Nation had reserved nearly 100 tractors.
It had to be said that these families had a really keen sense of smell.
As for the commoners …
When these tractors sped through the roads and fields of Dayao and the Yun Nation, the commoners would clearly see the difference between this new machine and the previous manpower and animal power. Naturally, they would know how to choose.
He was also prepared to publish chicken soup for the soul in the newspapers for a few days. The story of an ordinary person who paid off his loan within a year after buying a tractor and then reached the pinnacle of his life and married a fair, rich, and beautiful woman.
…
"Do you really not want Great Xia? You have to know that there are tens of millions of people, a vast land, and countless mines. It should be able to achieve your goals faster. "
On the second day after the tractors entered the city, Zong Shang brought up the old matter again.
He now felt that this land was the best in Ren Baqian's hands.
Ren Baqian could change this land.
The things that he could do couldn't be done by others.
"I've said that I'm not interested!" Ren Baqian waved his hand. Did he want to tire himself to death with the addition of Great Xia?
"Besides, the changes in this world are gradual and affect each other. The changes in Dayao will eventually bring changes to Great Xia and the Chen Nation. I just need to hold the rope and let them dance with me. "
First, set a small goal. For example, remember in 1 second: Bookseller's Mobile
