After breakfast the next day, Han Yi personally came to the Outer Courtyard Hotel and invited Maier to visit the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The prophets of the Mingji people could not start a family, and the retinue of the prophets who wanted to become prophets could not start a family, so the group that accompanied Meier to visit the city was all men. In order to take care of Tian Zeguo's feelings, Maier also brought only a male entourage, not his family.

Before leaving the Outer Courtyard Hotel, Mel let everyone move freely, but had to return before dark. At dinner yesterday, Maier had already taught everyone some of the rules of the Mingji people, so that they would not have conflicts with the locals.

There are many laws of the Mingji people, but there are not many that are prone to conflict with foreigners. For example, there is a time limit for Mingji people to eat, a meal is at most half an hour, and they are not allowed to eat after the time - of course, this is also because the Mingji world in the past has radiation, and food will be toxic if it is away from water for too long, so it cannot be eaten.

Because of this, leftover rice can only be eaten after soaking in water - of course, most of the cooked food can not be eaten after soaking in water, so the Mingji people regard leftovers as a great waste. If you eat leftovers in front of Mingji, the other party will think that you are an extravagant and wasteful person, and thus hate you.

However, Mingji and foreigners do not eat at the same table, so it is difficult for the two sides to have conflicts in this regard. Generally speaking, as long as the foreigners do not take the initiative to talk to the Mingji people about the topic of faith, there will be no conflict between the two sides.

With Myer's permission, the group formed a group and left the Outer Courtyard Hotel. Everyone only walked around the city for less than half an hour before they got tired of it, because there was nothing to visit in this city.

The shops are all government-run, and there are only a few of them, which sell daily necessities, and there are very few types, so there is nothing to see at all. There are no snacks on the street, no groceries are sold, and there is hardly any difference in the houses on the street, except for the names on the house plates.

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the outer courtyard hotel one after another. People who are in a good mood are in a bad mood, and people who are in a bad mood are in a worse mood. Xiaoxiao saw that he had done something bad with good intentions, so he wanted to make up for the mistakes he made. She gathered everyone together, asked the servants to prepare the ingredients, and then led them to the outskirts of the city in a carriage.

Xiaoxiao found a vacant land with a good scenery in the suburbs, let the servants set up a temporary camp here, and let everyone move freely around the camp. When everyone was free, Xiaoxiao commanded the servants to start burying the pot and cooking, preparing to have a unique dinner with everyone in the wilderness.

The picnic boosted everyone's morale, but the fly in the ointment was that there was too little alcohol. Mingji people don't know how to make wine, because the world of Mingji can't make wine at all. In addition, the means of survival in the Mingji world before the cataclysm were already scarce, even if the people of Mingji could make wine, they were reluctant to waste food. The wine of the Mingji people is imported from foreign countries, and it will only be sold to foreigners in the hotel, because it is imported, so the quantity is small and the price is high. However, Han Yi has already greeted the hotel in the outer courtyard, and the accommodation expenses of Maier and his party are free of charge, and they can also take whatever they want in the hotel.

The people of Mingji will not drink drinks other than water, nor will they drink water that has been soaked in things, because in the world of Mingji, water that has been soaked is poisonous. The water in the world of Mingji is very magical, it can automatically purify the radioactive substances in the water when it is flowing, but it will absorb radioactive substances when it is stationary. Therefore, the law of the Mingji people also stipulates that the Mingji people are not allowed to drink "stagnant water", that is, still water, because such water is poisonous.

Before using water, the people of Mingji must first let the water flow for a certain period of time. But Mingji people can't just run to the flowing water source every time they use water, right? In order to make life easier, Mingji people had to use their brains to develop the "Mingji Water Wheel", relying on manpower to make still water flow.

The water in the Mingji world does not automatically purify the radioactive substances in the water when it moves, and if the flow rate of the water does not reach a certain standard, it cannot automatically purify the radioactive substances in the water. Most of the above-ground water in the Mingji world is flowing, with a flow rate of more than 4 m/s, while groundwater is a perennial flow of about 3 m/s. If the water truck moves, it can make the waterway flow at a speed of more than 3 m/s, which is enough to purify the radioactive substances in the water.

"We have waterways all over the city, and the canals on the beams of the houses bring flowing water to every house."

On the walls of the city, Han Yi proudly introduced the waterways in the city to Meier. He raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the city, where there were four Mingji waterwheels connected in series.

"That's our waterwheel, and the water comes out of the river and into the city's waterways, providing us with flowing water. A hundred years ago, each waterwheel needed 30 strong men to work properly, and if it started early in the morning, it would have to be replaced by noon, which means that each waterwheel needed 60 people a day. But now, we have learned new technology from the Ira, and now each waterwheel can work with only twenty men, and each waterwheel only needs forty people a day. ”

Maier smiled politely, not commenting on Han Yi's words. In fact, as early as the 15th year of the new calendar, the Mingji waterwheel has been imitated by various ethnic groups, and after the integration with the technology of the ethnic group, the work efficiency of the new waterwheel has been greatly improved. The wind-powered water wheel improved by the Leiding people no longer even needs manpower to operate.

However, after a hundred years of development, after learning the technology of the alien race, the Mingji people only reduced the manpower requirement of the Mingji waterwheel to two-thirds of the original, and other aspects remained unchanged. From Han Yi's proud tone, Maier deduced that these waterwheels must have been improved after he took office, which means that the Mingji people had not made any kind of improvement to their waterwheels before that.

Maier felt that he finally had an intuitive understanding of the inertia of the Mingji people, but Han Yi's next words almost didn't make him choke on his own spit.

"But the biggest change we have made is to extend the waterways to the farmland!"

In the eyes of the vast majority of races in the New World, if they had invented a tool that could make water flow, it would have been used to irrigate farmland. However, the Mingji people used their waterwheels for the water supply of the settlement, and farming was still the most primitive "relying on the sky to eat".

This is because there is abundant rain in the Mingji world, and crops will not be short of water even if they are not watered. At the same time, the crop yield of the Mingji world is very low, the seed necrosis rate is very high, and the growth cycle is four to five times that of the new world. After the Cataclysm, the crop yield in the New World was slightly higher than that in the Mingji World, the racial necrosis rate was slightly lower, and the growth cycle was greatly shortened. The people of Mingji are used to a low-yield life, so after the cataclysm, they are much more relaxed.

What the? It hasn't rained this month, and it's out of production? It doesn't matter, we have food reserves and it will be fine next month.

What the? Didn't rain next month? Extinct again? It doesn't matter, look at next month, if it is still out of production next month, then rely on manpower to water.

In this way, under the contentment of Mingji people, their technology is developing rapidly.

Seeing this, everyone should have already discovered it. The "cataclysm" in the eyes of foreigners is not a "cataclysm" for the Mingji people, but it makes their lives better. The reason why they call the cataclysm is because the other races call it that, so they call it that.

In fact, when the cataclysm just happened, the people of Mingji moved everything they had into heaven because the living God fulfilled His promise. The vanished settlements and the people of Mingji were labeled as "unworthy of heaven and eternal life", and the people of Mingji celebrated with great fanfare.

However, it didn't take long for an old man to die of natural causes, which means that the people of Mingji did not receive eternal life. Since there is no eternal life, then the new world is not heaven, because in the eyes of the Mingji people, eternal life and heaven are "bound and cashed". In this way, the alien races that suddenly appeared around the land of the Mingji people did not receive heaven and eternal companions from the living god with them, and the attitude of the Mingji people towards them became cold.

"After that, our harvest increased several times at once! There is so much grain and cotton and linen that I can't use it up! Han Yi excitedly pointed to the contiguous warehouse area in the city and said, "Look! Mistress Meyer! We build new warehouses every day, but even then, there are still too many resources to fit! Piled up in the clearing! ”

Hearing this, Maier already understood the reason why Tian Zeguo was rich.

The resource consumption of Mingji people is very low, and under the condition that the output has been unprecedentedly increased, the remaining means of survival will naturally be too much to the point that they cannot be stored. The means of subsistence that Mingji people get rich out of are mainly grain and cotton and linen, the latter can be reprocessed to increase the value, but the handicraft industry of Mingji people is very backward, and the production efficiency is outrageously low.

Hanyi wants to increase the output of cotton and linen products by increasing equipment and practitioners, but the production enthusiasm of Tianze people has been greatly reduced, and most people feel that it is a very stupid thing to work hard without worrying about food and clothing, and only a few people have nothing to do, so they responded to Hanyi's call. But the support of a few people is just a drop in the bucket for Han Yi, he needs more labor - to be precise, he needs more consumption to stimulate Tian Ze people, so that they feel that the current production capacity may not be able to meet Tian Zeguo's consumption, so that they can have a sense of urgency and stimulate their enthusiasm for work.

However, Han Yi still thought things too simply. It is natural for the Mingji people to work to feed the Mingji people, but if they are allowed to support hundreds of thousands of foreigners in vain, it will be purely whimsical. Besides, outsiders can also work, and their production efficiency is not known to be higher than that of the Mingji people, except for the time when the wasteland is cleared, they don't need the Mingji people to support them at all.

Most importantly, there is a fundamental difference in the way of life of the two parties. Foreigners generally pursue a higher quality of life, while Mingji people just want to be content with the status quo and do not want to make any changes. There are irreconcilable contradictions on both sides at the level of consciousness, and once the population of both sides reaches a certain number, contradictions will inevitably erupt. And the population of the Leting and Mingji people in Tianze has obviously exceeded that critical value.

While Maier was frowning, thinking about whether he should have left Tian Zeguo with the team earlier, Han Yi was talking about the wealth and strength of Tian Zeguo on the side.

At the same time, somewhere in the country of Tazawa, in the council chamber of the outer courtyard of the sanctuary.

More than a dozen prophets from the country of Tazawa are holding secret meetings here. The news that Han Yi wanted hundreds of thousands of foreigners to settle in Tian Zeguo had already spread among the prophets of the various settlements. Just as Maier had feared, they were dissatisfied with Han Yi's approach, believing that Han Yi was luring the wolf into the house.

"I have long said that Han Yi is unreliable!" A tall and lanky prophet said angrily, "If everyone had chosen me to be the Great Prophet, how could so many things have happened!" ”

The Thin Prophet was one of Han Yi's rivals at the time of the Great Prophet's election, and he was a typical conservative, so Han Yi's progressive ideas were described by him as "a change that would bring disaster to the country." However, Han Yi's reforms in his own settlements had already demonstrated the benefits of developing productive forces, so his arguments did not enjoy the support of the people.

"Hmm...... The same cannot be said either. A prophet with a Chinese face said, "Lord Hanyi's reforms have given us plenty of supplies, but what's the use of us having so many supplies?" The scriptures say, 'Contentment is the way,' and it says, 'The word is truth,' which means contentment is the truth. I think that Master Hanyi's reform intentions are good, but he has deviated from the truth, and we need to correct his mistakes. ”

"Not being satisfied is greedy." A chubby prophet sighed softly, "The scriptures say, 'Fight for greed,' that is, there can be no fight without greed." We can't afford to let the mistakes go on any longer. ”

"Han Yi's claim was wrong from the start! That's why it's wrong again and again! The tall and lanky prophet suddenly raised his voice, "He now wants the Gentiles to live among us!" Didn't he know that doing so would bring the scourge of war?! ”

Although the tall and thin prophet has been targeting Han Yi, he did not mean to provoke everyone, but really felt that Han Yi was hateful, and then just said what was in his heart.

"We have to stop him." A long-bearded prophet said solemnly, "And it must be as soon as possible!" ”

"You mean a re-election?" A goatee prophet asked tentatively.

"Even if all the prophets except Han Yi agree to a new election, he can still exercise the powers of the Great Prophet until the election is over!" The tall and thin prophet immediately objected, "If he takes advantage of our election to persuade that group of foreigners to settle in the country of Tian Ze, it will be too late!" ”
