At the same time, the Ip Man Mountains traverse the north and south of the Star Luo Empire, and to the south are a large number of low hills, and further down the hills are the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

In this way, the Ip Man Mountains are the natural and last barrier of Xingluo City.

Since it is a barrier, it is naturally set up with a fortress, and there is a pass in the middle of the Ip Man Mountains, called Star Luo Fortress, which is located in the middle of the Ip Man Mountains, which is the only relatively low and flat area in the entire mountain range, if you don't go here, you have to go east or west around the sea to enter the south of the Star Luo Empire.

The entire fortress guards the north-south communication arteries of Xingluo, and is a veritable "throat", because the location is too important, plus there are a large number of iron ore, copper ore and other metal mines, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire stationed here all year round.

Qian Nawei watched quietly, and after reading a page, she turned the page with a "bang" and turned to the next page.

This page is about the cultural customs of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire is located in the south of the Douluo Continent, the climate is mainly subtropical and tropical, except for the Ip Man Mountains in the middle, the whole country is either low hills, or alluvial plains between rivers.

These hills and plains are fertile and all of them are dominated by the cultivation of rice, with rice as the staple food.

The starch content in rice is less than that of wheat, plus there are not many grasslands, less cattle and sheep are raised, and less milk is drunk from cows and sheep, so the residents of the Star Luo Empire are generally low in height and size, and they are much smaller than the human race of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Among them, people like Dai Mubai are completely exceptional, the average height of adult males in the Star Luo Empire is about 1.7 meters, and those who can grow to more than 1.7 meters are considered very good.

Because the climate of the Star Luo Empire is mainly subtropical and tropical, therefore, the Star Luo Empire is hot and rainy all year round, and the rainy season accounts for more than half of the year.

Because of the abundant rainfall, there are many rivers and paddy fields, and there were originally many swamps, but they were all reclaimed into paddy fields to grow rice.

In the Star Luo Empire, all rivers originate from the Ip Man Mountains and flow in scattered shapes to all parts of the Star Luo Empire, and finally flow into the sea.

Therefore, the Star Luo Empire has developed water transportation, the shipbuilding industry far exceeds that of the Heaven Dou Empire, and so does commerce.

Seeing this, Qian Nawei couldn't help but think, since water transportation and commerce were so developed, why was the scientific and technological level of the Star Luo Empire as low as that of the Heaven Dou Empire?

The level of science and technology of the Heaven Dou Empire, not to mention the Blue Star that Qian Nawei traveled through the twenty-first century, even if it is compared to the Tang Dynasty, where the Tang Sect originated, it is like comparing children to adults.

Vulnerable, fragile like a blank sheet of paper.

With this question in mind, she continued to flip through it.

According to the book, because of the developed commerce of the Star Luo Empire, its water transportation profits and commercial profits were too profitable, so that the royal family directly controlled all commercial channels and did not allow private individuals to do business across borders at will.

Not only are private cross-border businesses not allowed, but bulk commodity trading, as long as the amount exceeds 1,000 gold coins, must be sold to the royal family or large merchants designated by the royal family, and then converted to sale by the royal family or designated personnel.

Bureaucratic monopoly!

Qian Nawei's eyes instantly froze.

This kind of behavior is obviously the same as the shipping in the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road was extremely developed and commercial profits were extremely high.

At that time, if the rapid development of shipping continued, the rapid exchange of economy and culture between the East and the West, and the transmission and dissemination of various science and technology, it would only take a period of time for the Ming Dynasty to become the most powerful dynasty on the Blue Star, and there was no one.

However, the windfall profits of maritime transport and cross-border commerce have attracted bureaucratic covetousness.

They forbade ordinary people to participate in the Silk Road, and had to leave it to the government or the government's designated merchants.

In this way, the government has indeed made a lot of money, but without the participation of the people, there is no great exchange between humanities and culture, and science and technology cannot be transmitted and disseminated.

Since then, science and technology in the Western world have developed rapidly, and the government of the Ming Dynasty has been complacent and corrupt with the huge profits it has obtained.

After that, everyone knows that the corrupt Ming Dynasty could not even pay the army's salaries, and the peasant uprising regime of Dashun occupied the city of Beijing.

Li Zicheng, the self-proclaimed king, used torture tools to force the officials of the Ming Dynasty to pay gold.

All the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very rich, and Li Zicheng squeezed out nearly 10 million taels of gold in one day!

The later Qing court perfectly inherited the mantle of the Ming Dynasty, and all shipping continued to be handled by the government, which made huge profits.

Seeing this, Qian Nawei understood Xingluo's situation.

Obviously, the low level of science and technology in the Star Luo Empire is generally related to the mentally handicapped, and it is largely related to the royal family.

Of course, the prosperity of soul masters, and the study of strong soul masters' martial arts is also one of the important reasons.

Qiannawei continued to read quietly until dinner time in the evening, when she finished reading the book.

During this time, she ate lunch in the library, which was brought by Iron Fist outside.

Finally, after reading the book, Qian Nawei closed the book and exhaled.

"Whew~"

She stood up, returned the book to its original shelf, and walked out of the library.

Heaven Dou City was brightly lit, and the pedestrians on the streets came and went, endlessly, and it was more lively than during the day.

Nightlife, has begun.

With an iron fist, Qian Nawei walked for a while, walked through the crowded crowd, and returned to the Heaven Dou Palace, the palace where her cousin Qian Fei'er was, Xuelin Palace.

In the main hall of Xuelin Palace, Qian Fei'er, Qian Linjue and others were dining.

The concubines of the palace eat in their own bedrooms, and only the next person will go to the big restaurant.

Qian Fei'er and Qian Linjue and other six people sat on a small round stool, with their backs to the door and facing the long sofa.

On the sofa, there are many dishes.

Originally, the maid served food to everyone's room, but Qian Fei'er preferred the atmosphere of the dinner, so she asked the maid to bring all the dishes to the main hall, that is, her own room.

But...... 123 Literary Network

Whether it is the main hall or the side room, the tables are too small to fit a meal shared by several people!

There was no way, Qian Fei'er had to put the dishes on the long mahogany sofa, and then sat on the small round stool by herself and waited for others to eat the vegetables together.

Because the small round stool is slightly taller than the long mahogany sofa, this creates a peculiar spectacle: six people pouting their butts and leaning down to eat.

"Poof!"

Qian Nawei couldn't hold back for a moment, covered her mouth on the spot, and laughed.

Qian Fei'er found that her cousin was back, got up, turned her head, and smiled softly.

"Navi, are you back? Come over for dinner. ”

"Okay, Sister Fei'er."

Qian Nawei smiled softly, moved lightly, took a small round stool, sat on the side, and dined with her cousins.

Dinner was quickly served, and after eating, everyone went back to their rooms.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a period of time, a long-nosed, straight-mouthed, sturdy figure, accompanied by several maidservants, rushed into the Xuelin Palace.

Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Snowy Night!

Xueye broke into the small courtyard of Xuelin Palace, and before he entered the main hall, he hurriedly shouted: "Love concubine, love concubine?" ”

He couldn't wait to open the door of the main hall of Xuelin Palace, and saw Qian Fei'er sitting on a chair in the front hall, smiling sweetly at him.

"Your Majesty."

The next moment, as soon as the snow night was in front of him, he and Qian Fei'er lay on the bed.

He leaned down impatiently and had a fun time with Qian Fei'er.

And in the hallway of the bedroom of the Sherin Palace, a figure with a red ribbon in her hair was watching all this, her ruby pupils glowing faintly.

The owner of the Visionary Thunder Angel Martial Soul, Qian Xinyu!

Qian Xinyu blushed, looked at it, and then quickly turned around, walked out of the main hall of Xuelin Palace, and carefully closed the door.

Closing the door, she turned and walked down the hallway, to the left compartment.

opened the door, and there were two girls in the door, one was Qian Yueqi, who had a frosty face and an eternal look on her face, and the other had a pair of squinting eyes, her figure was extremely plump, and the difference in chest circumference between the upper and lower breasts reached an astonishing twenty-eight centimeters.

It's actually Qian Fei'er!

When Qian Xinyu saw Qian Fei'er, she blushed and nodded.

"Sister Fei'er, I've already let Xue Ye do that."

"Okay, good work."

Qian Fei'er smiled and nodded.

Qian Xinyu replied with an "um", took two steps forward, and sat next to Qian Fei'er.

Qian Fei'er turned her head to look at her red-faced cousin, and asked jokingly: "Xin Yu, are you very shy to see men and women?" Feeling unsightly? ”

Qian Xinyu waved her hand quickly and shook her head with a blushing face.

"No...... Well, giving birth to a child is not a shameful thing, if you don't experience some things, the child can't be born, and human beings ......"

Speaking of this, Qian Xinyu's face became serious.

"Humanity may become extinct!"

"Poof!"

Qian Fei'er covered her mouth and laughed, and only stopped after a few seconds.

Then, she looked at Qian Xinyu again and smiled softly.

"Xin Yu, I'm going to trouble you again late at night, and I will apply a visual illusion to Xue Ye, no problem, right?"

"No problem, Sister Fei'er, I promise to complete the task!"

Qian Xinyu swore with a firm face.

Qian Fei'er nodded with satisfaction and turned her gaze back to the table.

Her slender jade hand swiped on the soul guide bracelet on her wrist, and a thin wire appeared in her hand.

This wire is pale silver, but it is not iron wire, but ...... Tungsten!

Qian Fei'er bent the tungsten wire and put it on two small iron wires, and then wrapped the two small iron wires in two pieces of paper so that they did not directly touch her hands.

After doing this, Qian Fei'er didn't feel particularly relieved, and used a little soul power to cover her hands.

At this point, she turned around slightly, faced Qian Xinyu, and smiled lightly.

"Xinyu, get a little electricity and connect it with both hands."

Do you have electricity?

Qian Xinyu blinked twice, she couldn't figure out what her cousin was going to do.

However, she still listens to Qianfei'er very much, and most of what Qianfei'er says is beneficial to her and will not harm her.
