PS: (It's 2016 in a blink of an eye, and the bottle is here to wish everyone a Happy New Year!) ）

After all, Minchan and Lu Lan had just experienced a long journey, and they were physically tired, so they were on the pillow, and when Cai Yan helped Minchan and Lu Lan arrange the house and then returned to Lu Ren, it was already late. When they returned to the room, they saw that Lu Ren was fiddling with a box that was usually hidden under their couch, and after glancing at each other, Cai Yan nodded lightly to Lu Ren and said, "Yihao, you can do it with peace of mind, I will go outside the door to help you guard." ”

Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You don't have to. In fact, I should have taught you how to use this thing a long time ago. To be honest, the letter written by Gao Shun also reminded me that you and I now live in Jingzhou as a guest in a foreign country, although I have so many talisman weapons on my body, but I am not afraid of 10,000 in case. In case something happens to me, Wen Ji, you will get in touch with Shirley in Yizhou as soon as possible on my behalf. If necessary, as long as I'm not dead, trust Shirley to save me. ”

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, nodded lightly and said, "It naturally doesn't hurt to be cautious." Yihao, listen to what you mean, are you going to teach me to use this thousand-mile microphone? ”

Lu Ren smiled and picked up the pendant on Cai Yan's chest and said: "The set of sound transmission jewelry I gave you before can only transmit sound to each other within a radius of more than two hundred miles, but Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Yizhou, if there is really anything, it is beyond the reach of the whip, so at least I want to teach you how to communicate with Shirley for thousands of miles in case of accidents." I'll take the Mile Microphone out in a moment, and I'll tell you how to use it, and you have to memorize it carefully. When I don't take you out, you have to keep it for me. ”

After saying this, Lu Ren probed out of the room and looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no problem, he closed the door and closed the window and put down the curtain, and then opened the box in front of Cai Yan and took out the Qianli microphone inside...... All right. This so-called "thousand-mile microphone" is not actually a Taoist magic weapon, but a very light set of radio communication equipment, which was brought by Shirley when she came in two years ago. And as the "Shirley" brand, it is much more advanced than the contemporaneous products of the earth, for example, the contemporaneous products of the earth also need satellites or signal towers, and this thing is not in demand within a radius of 30,000 kilometers.

Lu Ren used it once when he escaped from Cao Ying's camp and set a trap to tease Cao Cao a little. At that time, Cao Cao saw Lu Ren's "illusion" in the Shili Pavilion outside Xuchang City, as well as Lu Ren's self-proclaimed "Yuan Ling Out of the Body", in fact, it was for Shirley to hide the communicator under the eaves of the pavilion in advance, and then project the holographic image of Lu Ren on the Jade Bridge at the right time and talk to Cao Cao. And how could Cao Cao and his party understand these things? Naturally, they would think that this was Lu Ren playing Taoism. After Cao Cao's gang went away. Shirley, who had been hiding in the dark to remotely control the communicator, took back the communicator, and rushed back to the Jade Bridge with Lu Renhui on the anti-gravity board, and teased the traitorous male Cao Cao fiercely.

Later, Lu Ren arrived in Yizhou and decided to return to the Central Plains after making a decision, and one of the two sets of communicators brought by Shirley was with him, in order to facilitate remote control of the development and construction of Yizhou. But then again, if you just want to talk, you don't actually need a communicator, because Shirley also has a chip like Lu Ren, and the effective communication radius between them is 5,000 kilometers without the help of external forces. But for the sake of some intuitive data or data transmission. It is still necessary to bring a communicator. Or it can be understood in this way, that is, if the chips on Lu Ren and Shirley are compared to mobile phone handwriting, then this communicator is like a desktop computer connected to the Internet, and of course it is much more useful than a mobile phone.

In general, it's a bit like the difference between a conference call and a video conference in modern society. Imagine Shirley holding a construction plan. Or what was the scene when the newly found pearls, corals, or something that could be used to trade with the wealthy families in the Central Plains were shown to Lu Ren? How can you tell the story by talking on your mobile phone alone?

Without further ado, it was only said that Lu Ren took out the communicator and carefully explained how to turn on and use it, and how to use the solar charger to charge the battery when not in use...... Here is to say to Cai Yan, "How to use this object to gather the essence of the sun and the moon to restore the spirit of the magic mirror". Although it is a bit nonsense, I want Lu Ren to explain to Cai Yan what kind of scientific and technological topics such as the role of light energy. That would only make Lu Ren's egg hurt so much, not to mention that Lu Ren himself didn't know much about it. Instead of this, it is convenient to bring it with a few words of fantasy. Cai Yan said more acceptably here.

In short, after Cai Yan memorized the relevant operation methods one by one, Lu Ren asked Cai Yan to operate the communicator and connected to the video conversation with Shirley in Yizhou. And when Shirley's holographic projection appeared in the bedroom, although Cai Yan was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shocked and turned white, and only after a long time did he come back and said something that made Lu Ren a little crying and laughing:

"Sure enough, it's an immortal treasure!"

Lu Renxin said that the home of the fairy fart, the treasure of the hairy device! If Cai Yan knew that in Lu Ren's original era, a better copycat mobile phone could make video calls, and he might be surprised. But it's okay to think about these unrelated things, because at this time, the video call has been connected, and Shirley has already spoken: "Senior brother." ”

Don't think that Shirley's "senior brother" is just a casual call, Lu Ren will let Shirley change her words like this, which is also due to many considerations. For example, Lu Ren left Shirley in Yizhou to engage in development, and Shirley, as a leader, must have a corresponding identity. If Lu Ren is still called "master", with the social class system and concepts at that time, Shirley's identity will become a lowly maid, and she is not qualified to give orders. If Lu Ren is present, it may be fine, but when Lu Ren is not there, it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble.

But if it is Lu Ren's "junior sister", it will be completely different. You must know that Lu Ren originally had the title of "Immortal Master", so Lu Ren's junior sister must be a "fairy" anyway, and it has a certain deterrent effect psychologically alone. In terms of identity, as Lu Ren's junior sister, she is basically equivalent to being on the same level as Lu Ren, and she is qualified enough to give orders......

Don't think this is nonsense, if you don't pay attention to these in that era, you are messing up, otherwise why would Zhuge Liang borrow a sword and a seal from Liu Bei when he was preparing to burn Bowang? In fact, to put it simply, there is a reason to be able to control people, and Lu Ren is also a person who has been mixed with officialdom for several years, and Lu Ren is very clear about the Tao here.

Looking at Shirley's "little junior sister" after saying hello to Lu Ren, she said hello to Cai Yan beside Lu Ren. Cai Yan was no longer so surprised at this time, so he owed to Shirley's projection: "Sister Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time." Is it always good to be in Yizhou? ”

Shirley said: "Sister Cai, please rest assured, everyone is fine." ”

Cai Yan couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Shirley at this time, but his hand couldn't touch the entity after swiping back and forth in the image several times, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Lu Ren's behavior towards Cai Yan was expected, and he didn't feel strange or funny. After smiling casually and pulling Cai Yan's hand back, he said to Shirley: "Shirley, you tell Gao Shun and them tomorrow first, and tell them that the fleet has arrived at me safely this time." Ah Xiu and Xiaolan have already stayed with me, and Mi Zhen has some business to deal with in Xiangyang City, so she plans to come to me a few days late. ”

"Well, I made a note of it."

Lu Ren asked again: "I've been busy during this time, and I haven't been in touch with you. What's going on there now? ”

"Senior brother, please wait a moment."

Shirley's image disappeared for a moment, and she reappeared with an extra stack of paper in her hand: "To be honest, the situation is not optimistic. According to the information I brought, although Yizhou is rich in all kinds of resources, the productivity is very low because of the extremely backward technology......"

Lu Ren laughed and said: "I know this much better than you, I already told you when I was still in Yizhou, don't measure this place by what we did at that time." Accordingly, we have to be flexible and take what we can use in our time. Isn't it for the sake of this to a large extent that I keep this kind of voice transmission with you? ”

Regarding this issue, Lu Ren understood it very early. If there are scientific and technological materials that are ahead of the times, but there is no corresponding productive force at hand, then these scientific and technological resources are equal to nothing. As a simple example, in modern farming, it is a chemical fertilizer, pesticide tractor or something, but where can you find these in the Han Dynasty? If you want to engage in pesticides and fertilizers, you have to build the corresponding chemical plant or something, which is already very unrealistic, and the most important thing is where do you find the relevant talents?

Shirley smiled, flipped through the information in her hand again, and said, "According to Senior Brother's meaning, things like resource development can be done step by step, and they are not very urgent. Regardless, our primary problem remains that the population base is too small. ”

Lu Ren said: "How many people do we have now?" ”

Shirley said, "It's pitiful. ”

It's really pitiful. When Lu Ren and Mi Zhen made a plan to move to Yizhou, they just wanted to find a place for Lu and Mi to live and work in peace and contentment, so Lu Ren didn't think about any construction and development at that time, coupled with the changes caused by many factors in the plan, when Lu Ren fled from Cao Ying and arrived in Yizhou in the sixth year of Jian'an, the land opened up by Lu and Mi only had a population base of less than 10,000 people, and it was just the standard of a large village at that time.

Moreover, in this population base of less than 10,000 people, there are many displaced people from the Qing, Xu or Jiangdong areas who boarded the Xuzhou Mi Ship Regiment or the Lu Wu County Boat Regiment in order to escape the war. Otherwise, just with the direct and collateral descendants of the Lu and Mi clans, where can they get together nearly 10,000 people in Yizhou?

In fact, if it is just to avoid war and live and work in peace and contentment, the scale of this large-scale village of nearly 10,000 people is already very large, but what Lu Ren wants today is not this, Lu Ren has a higher goal in his heart.

Therefore, before Lu Ren left Yizhou, he instructed Xue Li and others to still move displaced people from Qing, Xu, Yangzhou and other coastal areas to Yizhou in the way of absorbing and avoiding turbulent refugees. However, with Lu Ren's current strength at hand, his ability to absorb is still very limited. It's like more than a year has passed now, and the population base on Shirley's side has only risen to fifteen or six thousand...... (To be continued.) )
