731 New Abilities: Disciples

After receiving a series of good news, I left the academy satisfied, and turned to the commercial street to find Nie Xiaoqian.

Now that the business of the shopping street is done, won't my happy life be half completed?

At least once the shopping street is really up and running, I don't have to worry about gold reserves. After another accident, I don't have to go all the way to Datang to 'loot'~ Ah, it's to make money!

In fact, when I came back from Tibet this time, I felt as if I had caused some trouble again. But no signs have been found yet.

So my original desire to run around and loot is getting fading away. Maybe it's a hunch! Because when I ransacked the residence workshop of the great nobleman in Tibet, I was actually seen by many people. Although I had a transposition at the time. But many people still recognize me from my accent that I am from Datang...... Therefore, there will be many people who will deliberately look for trouble in the future. The reason is that when I ransacked the great nobles and the palace on the top of the hill, I took some books in addition to gold. At that time, I just took it with me, and the purpose was to take it back and put it in the future library of the college as a collection.

It's just that those books~ In fact, they are extremely important 'literature' and some treasures for Tibet!

That's all for later.

When I came to the construction site of the commercial street outside Chang'an City again, on the land specially allocated by His Majesty the Emperor, it was under construction. I found that the speed of the project here is actually not fast.

Probably because of the lack of funds and the need for building materials to be dismantled. There may also be manpower issues. So I came back from a trip west. I found that on this construction site, a suitable foundation has just been dug up. And only more than half of the building materials were demolished.

So when I reappeared, especially when I handed over a large sum of gold to Nie Xiaoqian, the commander-in-chief who had been making do, all along. She was so excited! After all, for Nie Xiaoqian, who was born in Lubanmen, the slow progress of the project will make her extremely uncomfortable. And those things that dismantle second-hand building materials are also very troublesome. Among them, bricks and other building materials are easy to say. The main thing is that the wood such as the main beam that is dismantled is more difficult to deal with.

Now, with sufficient funds, Nie Xiaoqian can completely give up the remaining houses that have not been demolished, and directly spend money to buy enough building materials from Chang'an City to gather enough people.

So Nie Xiaoqian, who was in a good mood, also assured me: Now that the manpower and funds are sufficient, then she will definitely build all the shops on the commercial street all day before the end of this month.

Of course, those special size houses don't count. After all, there are still technical difficulties in the two buildings of "theater" and "large entertainment city".

I looked at the date and realized that this month has just passed ten days. It took more than 20 days to build a street out~ In fact, it is more difficult. Especially now that it's the moon of Layue. I suspect that it will be difficult to gather worker helpers at this time! After all, it's almost the New Year!

However, I still underestimate the industrious appearance of people in this era. As long as the salary is doubled, not only thousands of people from near Chang'an want to help, but there are also people who come from near Luoyang City just to earn wages!

I estimate that if it weren't for the other directions, the traffic would not be as convenient as the transportation between Chang'an and Luoyang City. It is estimated that people from all over the world will rush over to help! It seems that as long as the wages are sufficient, the people of this era do not regard manual work as a thing at all.

As a result, Nie Xiaoqian and I, who suddenly became wealthy, directly hired a full 10,000 people as workers. Therefore, the shops in this entire street were built in just seven days after the building materials were sufficient. It's really easy to get things done.

At that time, the 10,000 workers on the construction site were directly divided into two shifts and started work overnight. Fifty shops were built directly in one street! Anyway, we only planned to build 20 shops. Now that we have enough people, we have literally built an entire street out.

And the whole street is paved with bluestone slabs. Each house has a two-story structure with a mixed brick and wood façade. Because each room is assigned to dozens of people working at the same time. So when the goods were repaired, even the painting and interior decoration plus some wood carving decorations were all done. I was blown away by the speed of construction!

However, after the completion of the product, the construction of two large buildings, the theater and the entertainment city, became difficult. Moreover, those workers refused to leave after repairing their shops because their wages were paid on a daily basis. So I had to arrange for them to dig a ditch and a culvert by the way. In addition, I saw that these people were very diligent. So I also arranged for extra manpower, and installed water pipes and sewers in all 50 shops, and built a toilet in each shop......

In fact, the water pipeline is very easy to complete. After all, there are still a lot of pipes in the mall. I only saved up two days and got enough water and water pipes to install.

However, when the water pipes and sewer pipes of each shop were installed, faucets, sinks and toilets were built. As for how to make the tap water flow smoothly into the pipes~ This has become a big problem.

The sewer is fine, as long as it is connected to the culvert dug under the bluestone slabs in the street. The culvert was also made of bluestone slabs as an aquifer. Speaking of which, when I built this culvert, I originally wanted to save a few more days of cement, and then use cement to make the culvert waterproof! As a result, when the culvert was dug, I learned that there was a sewer system in this era. Moreover, it was arranged with stoneware pipes similar to those of later generations. After using bluestone slabs to pad the bottom, and then installing stoneware pipes that can be purchased directly from the market inside, and using clay in the middle to prevent leakage. The sewer was thinner than the later ones. There is no leakage at all!

However, the problem with the water pipes was difficult for me for many days. In the end, the girl who occasionally came over to join in the fun came up with a good solution...... It was to build a water tower only three stories high to store water. Finally, the water from the water tower is pumped into the water pipes!

It seems that Dacao got inspiration from the water tower in a small town in a certain 'western movie'. It seems that Dacao, who watches movies every day, is already more like a time-traveler than me! Trina

As for how to fill the water tower with water, there are many ways. Nie Xiaoqian alone proposed dozens of ways. In the end, we chose the easiest way to accomplish, which was to build a watermill. It was Nie Xiaoqian who did it herself, and it took two days to make a keel waterwheel out of good wood. It's still the kind of double stampede. In this case, just hire a few people to keep an eye on the water in the water tower's water storage tank, and then when you find that the water is insufficient, you can use this keel waterwheel to 'truck' the water up from the newly dug canal...... The only regret is that the water is all river water, so you can't drink it directly. So a few more wells were dug out of this commercial street......

Actually, I also thought about using well water to fill the water tower tank. And it's even better to be able to filter it.

In fact, there are also 'submersible pumps' of general power and various water purifiers in the mall. It's just that those things aren't just a hassle to set up and install. The main reason is that there is no electricity in this era! You can't pull a car out and burn oil to power it! That's not just a lot of money. And even if it is the most powerful garbage truck, the current power it brings is not enough.

So before the people at the academy were working on a generator that could generate electricity stably. Let's use river water as tap water! At least it's more than enough for each shop's restroom to wash hands and flush the toilet.

It's just that after these things are dealt with, it will be the root of the year. Because there were three days to go before the New Year, the workers still returned to their homes one by one. This will have to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before they will come out again to continue their work.

So don't think about opening this shopping street before the year.

They are also the two most important buildings on the shopping street, and they are also the most popular. The theater still has difficulties in the construction of the entertainment city, and now I am ready to call everyone in the family to discuss it together.

Oh yes, actually, our family is going to have a new year. And just before the twenty-third day of the lunar month. The students in the academy were also arranged to go home for the Chinese New Year during the holidays.

What surprised me was that the people from the eleven sects had all left the academy and went back. And as I was leaving, I realized that these people had left in the same way that I had brought people back to the warehouse...... This is true of all ten sects except the Daomen.

If it weren't for the fact that this scene was captured by cameras installed all over the academy, I really wouldn't have known that this kind of scene with people disappearing was not my patent alone. Each of those sects has a person who will turn people into disappears in a strange way.

After listening to the explanation of the duck on the side, I realized that in each school of sects, the last person left behind was the person who left in the small courtyard assigned to them by the academy after everyone else disappeared, and he was the 'disciple' that the duck had said several times! The same kind as the grass.

It's just that Dacao is more special, she can only transfer inanimate items to the space outside the mall, when she awakens the ability of 'disciple'. And we can also take out the items we put in.

After listening to the duck and popularizing some knowledge to me, I realized that there are many kinds of disciples' abilities. Some people use it as a gate to a 'hidden place'. She estimated that those who remained in the academy were disciples of this ability...... The others had all left the academy and returned to their own sect through his abilities.

"That's why these people suddenly appeared in Chang'an City unnoticed? As long as that disciple can rush to Chang'an City, it means that everyone else can enter Chang'an at will? I asked curiously.

However, the duck shook his head and explained: "Actually, it's not that convenient. Although it's the same as you said. As long as the disciple could go anywhere, he could take the people of their sect wherever he could. However, there is a limit to the number of people. Not all of us can summon the 'door' through the 'disciple' ability! Therefore~ each sect can only send a small number of people. ”

Now I feel more and more that these abilities are amazing. It seems that there are various ancient sects in this inheritance~ They are full of unbelievable black technology in their hands! These~ can't all be magic, right?

I'm beginning to doubt the nature of myself and the abilities of these sects. In particular, the magic of the inheritance really shocked me again!

Since the college is on holiday, the construction of the commercial street has also been halted because the workers have rushed home for the New Year. So I took the rest of the group back to my home.

Of course, the academy isn't completely empty. Each sect also left one person in the academy. And the people in the Daomen are more strange, and I don't know if it's the divine doctor Sun Simiao who has recently researched something. All of them stayed in the academy and refused to leave, and they were busy with experiments every day. I heard the uncle butler who had just returned from the academy say that since the students had left, the small courtyard of the Daomen was now wafting a pungent smell every day. And it's still not inside, and there is an explosion sound. There were even a few times when the little Taoist priest was carried away for treatment because of serious injuries!

It seems that the divine doctor has completely indulged in all kinds of chemical experiments...... I just don't know if they remember it, but their most important purpose should be to research the antidote to that particular poison first.

Judging from the current information, these people can't be obsessed with experiments similar to 'alchemy'! It's all because the new book given to them by Dacao is mixed with some home remedies of ancient Western alchemy...... Dacao's intention seems to be to let the Daomen people go through all kinds of wrong alchemy according to the process of chemistry in the ancient West, and then 'verify and study' some basic chemistry knowledge from these experiments.

I really don't know what kind of movie Dacao watched to make this kind of thought. It seems that a similar routine is used for other sects. Anyway, I found that in the school that is good at medicine, the books given by Dacao are mixed with some microbiology research knowledge. There is also a set of microscopes.

This is true of other schools of thought.

Obviously, none of the textbooks given to them are complete, and most of them are of the basic type. But the existence of routines is mixed into it. Dacao, this girl won't become a sperm! Since she became the acting dean of the academy, her behavior has become more and more strange! Now it seems that this girl is less and less like an ancient person. On the contrary, I want to be a time-traveler more than I do!
