Bayang probably didn't know that there was such a thing as kicking a ball. He simply understood the freedom of love to mean that the mushroom had the right to decide, so he rejoiced. Later, when I talked to Yuan Xiao about more details, I also made some other requests.

Soon after, Yuan Xiao completed the negotiation and Xingchong rushed to report to Lin Ji.

At that time, Lin Ruins was in the palace, testing the newly laid lighting equipment.

There are two sets of lighting fixtures in the palace. One is a glass-enclosed oil lamp fixed in various places, and the other is an electric lamp.

Although there is no shortage of whale oil nowadays, the brightness of oil lamps can be comparable to that of candles. However, for the forest traces that are accustomed to electric lights, the use of oil lamps is not as good as electric lights in any case.

Because it is based on the drawings of a later station, the overall structure of the palace is hollow-shaped. In front is a mountain-shaped high gate tower. On both sides are corridor-style buildings, connecting the back. The location of the open space in the middle, the forest trail is intended to be designed as a garden. The latter part was converted into a living dormitory by the forest ruins.

Except for the gabled-shaped gatehouse, which is made of concrete and steel, the corridors and dormitories at the back are made of stone.

Because the stone is not polished, the buildings behind it look a little rough. Everywhere there are round arches like stone arches and thick columns.

In fact, Lin Ji is still quite satisfied with the stone buildings in the back. It is said that a reinforced concrete building will collapse within 200 years due to oxidation, but a stone building can survive for thousands of years if it does not survive disasters such as fires and earthquakes.

Lin Ji felt that after 10,000 years, the archaeologists found here and dug up the stone polished with manganese steel, which should also be a very happy thing.

The dormitory behind the royal palace is also more than half of the area being renovated, because the part of the light test is only the front gatehouse and the corridor on one side and less than half of the dormitory.

In fact, in the ceremony, only this part of the area is planned to be used, and the rest is handed over to the craftsmen to slowly decorate and polish.

The first floor of the gatehouse is three meters higher than the square, and there are rows of freshly set oil lamps on the bluestone-paved steps.

Lin Ji asked the workers to light the oil lamps on the stone steps in rows, and he watched from behind, Po Tu Fa Arc and others followed him, and Yuan Xiao reported the results of the negotiation to Lin Ji at this time, and he knew: "There is basically no problem with the line from the Huai River to the Qinling Mountains, but there are several branches of the Mao tribe on this line, and he is unwilling to let these tribes move away...... Moreover, he wanted dozens of elephants and a few boats to add to his head. I promised to give him five sampans, as I did not agree. He also said that he wanted to visit our elephant house......"

When the bright yellow lights are lit, the palace at night once again shows a different view. The leaders behind Lin Ji were a little stupid. Where is the beautiful scenery here?

"It's still a little ......dark," Lin Ji commented, following the lighter up the stairs and into the hall of the gatehouse. There are more oil lamps in the door than outside, but the effect of lighting it is still the same as the light of Western court dramas. Lin Ji was not very satisfied.

Turning around, Lin Ji asked Yuan and smiled: "They don't have an elephant themselves?" ”

"I'm afraid not. Mingyu seems to have said that they are also catching elephants. But Mingyu only received a lot of elephant fur over there, and didn't see any living elephants. ”

Lin Ji said: "In this case, then give them one or two hundred deer." If he really can't do it, he will give him dozens of baby elephants under the age of five. Just tell them that baby elephants are easy to get along with. Let not let out the elephants in the west of our city, for those who can be tamed will be tamed, and those who cannot be tamed will be killed. ”

Last year, 3,000 elephants were released to go north, and by now, less than half of the remaining ones have already been caught in the city by the people of Chaolin City. I have caught 10,000 elephants before, and it is really easy to deal with these more than 1,000 heads. It doesn't matter if you want to tame or kill, there will be no pressure.

Yuan smiled: "Isn't it okay to give the baby elephant?" ”

The dolphin said in the back: "Just give it to the baby elephants, and I'll pick them when I turn around, and keep them to their satisfaction, but they can't take advantage of it." ”

The baby elephant is obedient and easy to get along with, but the baby elephant grows slowly and is squeamish. When I was young, I couldn't do except to be ridden by the tamers. Baby elephants, on the other hand, need to be fifteen years old to reach adulthood, and if they are infected, they can die in minutes. The Mao tribe doesn't even have scissors for shearing, and it is estimated that few of them will survive to adulthood when they bring them back.

"Since there are no elephants for them to catch, you can also take him to see the elephant house, but there can't be many people, at most ten people......

Lin Ji and Yuan Xiao talked about the details of the subsequent negotiations, and the broken teeth behind them asked, "We don't have to be so accommodating to this Mao tribe, right?" Wouldn't it be better for us to prepare for three or two years, and then conquer them like we conquered a deer? ”

"It's a question of giving and returning, costing and prioritizing development." "At present, we have too few literate people, and it is too laborious to manage a larger tribe. Therefore, even if we defeat and conquer the Mao tribe, we may not be able to manage them efficiently and provide us with benefits, if we can't get enough benefits, then the soldiers sent will become a burden for us here. And if we annex the small tribes south of the Huai River and the Yangtze River valley now, and at the same time cultivate enough talents internally, then we will not only be able to conquer the Mao tribes more easily, but also quickly absorb them in an all-round way, which will benefit us. ”

Lin Ji nodded in approval of these words, and at the same time said: "They are a barbarian tribe, even if they start learning from us now, can they learn what we are today in ten or twenty years?" Give us ten or twenty years, we can't just revert to the ground, right? ”

"In the past 20 years, it is best for us not to start a major war, so as to maintain our internal stable development, encourage more births and more breeding, expand the size of the population, increase the cultivation of talents, and when the time comes, let alone a Mao tribe, the whole world will be ours." Lin Ji's tone was relaxed, drawing a big cake.

"Your knowledge of the world is still too little, and your vision is still too limited. I'm going to look at something different today. You don't have to keep saying that my lectures are like bragging. ”

Lin Ji said this, and then confirmed the problem with the other craftsmen who had been trained separately. After getting a few people patting their chests and saying that there were no exposed wirings anywhere, Lin Ji snapped his fingers: "Develop the motor." ”

There was a loud bang in a room in the corner, and as the workers who installed the wires flipped the switches one by one, some lights that were several times brighter than oil lamps lit up from inside and outside most of the palace.

Several decorative lamps were installed on the roof of the gate building outside the palace gatehouse, which was actually one-third the size of the original station building. But it still made the entire gatehouse suddenly light up from the prehistoric wilderness.

There are only a few lampposts on either side of the stairs, and the light tiles on them are not too high, but when these lights are lit, they still give the impression that the steps and the square outside are "like daylight".

Coupled with the light that came out of a few rooms, from the other directions of the city, the palace seemed to have suddenly risen as if a sun had suddenly risen, and it was also like a god descending and shedding golden light here. This made the people towards Lin City unconsciously rush in this direction.

Lin Ji led people to the outside of the gatehouse, and then looked at the effect of the lights at this time, but the tears were about to fall at this glance.

If you put a few billboards on the outside of the wall, it will be not much different from the afterlife. Unfortunately, this diesel generator is meant to burn oil, and there isn't much diesel in the town.

Seeing that more and more people came to see, Lin Ji ordered: "Let the palace guards maintain order, and the people in front will leave after reading it, and let the people in the back take a look." Centurion and above, can enter the hall to watch TV. ”
