Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 38 Establishing a Station
After the emergence of the country, the government set up a communication agency specially for the transmission of official documents and military information, which has a history of 3,000 years, and its construction and operation costs are an important expenditure of the national finance.
Post station has an important position and role in China's ancient transportation, in the case of very primitive means of communication, the post station is responsible for a variety of political, economic, cultural, military and other aspects of information transmission tasks, to a certain extent is also a part of logistics information, but also a specific network transmission and network transportation. Although the forms and names of the ancient post stations in China are different, they are closely organized, hierarchical, and complete in formalities. The feudal monarch relied on these post stations to maintain information collection, command issuance and feedback, in order to achieve the goal of feudal rule control.

This is the most incredible thing Tu Shi has ever seen:
Yi Wuya held the bare hilt of the sword, piled up the iron pieces, and when he mentioned it again, he actually lifted a sword!
It is not very accurate to say that it is a sword, but it should be said that it is a "sword-shaped iron sheet polymer", and the iron pieces seem to have magnetism between them, and they are closely united with each other to form a long sword. Tu Shi saw clearly, this was done by the master, and he didn't use the paste at all, could it be that the hilt of the sword was made of magnets?
As if seeing through Tu Shi's thoughts, Yi Wuya's hand shook, and the sword scattered into pieces and fell back into the pile of iron pieces. He turned the hilt of the sword and handed it to Tu Shi: "You try?" β
Tu Shi obeyed, but he couldn't absorb the fragments, so he knew that the hilt was a simple metal hilt, and it was not magnetic.
"You keep the hilt." Yi Wuya pointed to the six scabbards and five sword hilts placed on the desk, and then pointed to the pile of fragments: "When you pick up the six swords, when will you be considered a master." β
"Huh? This is the sword you gave me, master?! It's too stingy! β
"Don't be noisy, you are still not satisfied with giving you a divine soldier!"
Tu Shi hurriedly left the left wing, not wanting a single "divine soldier". He went to visit the right master Haiqing Zhenren again. After sucking a furnace of white elephant water lily lotus seed essential oil with [Dragon Breath], Tu Shi got straight to the point: "Master, Master Zuo is too hateful, and he is reluctant to send me a sword!" β
Haiqing Zhenren: "Taoist priests don't use murderous swords, only magic swords, which is convenient for sacrificial practices." Do you want a peachwood sword, or do you want a money sword? β
"Those messy swords can't even kill a chicken!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When at To's Restaurant......
Looking at the liar's Ning Ding expression as he tasted the air one after another, Tu Shigui asked in a daze, "Do you use a sword?" β
"Occasionally."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tu Shi remembered this verse and shouted, "Master, where is your sword?" I want to see it! β
"Heavy treasures should not be easily revealed."
"Oh, I'm not an outsider, I'm your student, don't be so stingy!"
Haiqing Zhenren sighed: "How did I accept a lazy scoundrel like you as a disciple?" As he spoke, he spread his hands flatly, and the golden light flashed in his hands, and an extra sword appeared. The whole body of this sword is dazzling with golden light, as if it is made of gold, and the whole sword is formed in one piece, from the hilt to the sword shaft to the sword body, it is actually made of the same material. The shape is particularly peculiar: the width of the sword is an extraordinary sword, and it is the length of a palm; The sword body is long and round, the sword spine is slightly raised, and there are countless fine lines extending from the sword spine to the sword blade, densely packed. What is rare is that the lines do not intersect with each other, and I really don't know what kind of heavenly skills it is to create. Not to mention that the style of this sword is very different from the Middle-earth sword, even this radioactive sword pattern has never been seen before...... However, the style of this sword is a little familiar?
Da Luo: ????γ Sword weapons, Physical Attack 120-150, Spell Attack 130-160, Light Attribute Damage +30, Critical Strike Chance +10%, Air Movement Speed +30%. [Dharma Mastery] +2, [Qi Training] +1, comes with [Dragon Elephant Power]. The load is 20, and the durability is 100%. Requires 50 intelligence. Requires the equipment to be a Taoist, a monk, or a bird monster, and requires level 70. He has confessed to the Lord Hai Qingzi.
γDragon Elephant Powerγ????γ Passive skills can be toggled on and off. When activated, the Intelligence of any number of points can be reduced, and this value can be transferred to Strength. Consumes 7 HP per second.
This...... The name of this equipment flashes dark gold! Since the game was launched, where have you ever seen something of this level?!
Tu Shi couldn't help but reach out and touch it. Hai Qing Zhenren was quick-eyed, pinched a magic decision to turn the Da Luo Sword into nothing, and warned Tu Shi: "Don't approach anything that is beyond your ability, so as not to bring disaster to yourself." β
Tu Shi thought to herself: The right master is more stingy than the left master, if you don't touch it, you have to reprimand yourself!
After being kicked out of the door by Master You, Tu Shi looked at the sun, and it was almost lunch, so it was not good to go out to fight monsters, so it was better to go to the City Lord's Mansion to hand in a task.
The City Lord's Mansion only opens a service window for players, and it is here that Tu Shi takes over the task of "Territory Mapping". Because of his efforts, the geography and hydrology of the cave field have been explored and can be recorded. Then there is the "Exterminate Poison Ivy" task, exchange the tail hook for a bounty, but this bounty is lower than the price of the late season, it seems that the tail hook is sold for sale, which is much more cost-effective than taking it for the task. However, he noticed that completing the tasks issued by the City Lord's Mansion would give him something called prestige, so he asked the steward, "What's the use of prestige?" β
The steward replied: "The prestige value is high, it is more convenient for you to act, maybe you will be favored by the nobles, and the official will be promoted, and the transfer requirements of some sects also include prestige points, especially the famous factions, which pay the most attention to this." You can get reputation for helping others or completing tasks assigned by the government, but if you violate the law, your reputation will be deducted, so be careful. β
Tu Shi felt that this thing was useless, and it wouldn't be cheaper to buy things. He looked at his reputation again, about 500 more, I don't know if it's more or less, so he simply ignored it. He looked at the requirements of the task "Establish a Post Station", estimated that he had met them, and said to his master: "Master, I have swept the wilderness of the cave, and I can establish a post station." β
"Great! After I tell the city lord, I will immediately gather the men and horses to walk with the strong men! β
In ancient times, productivity was low, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build a post road from scratch, let alone build a post road. The Cave Wilderness is in crisis, and Yibeicheng sent many people to try to establish a post station, but they couldn't succeed, and Tu Shi helped them solve this problem. A team of more than a dozen craftsmen, a group of soldiers, and two players (the other is Lu Lingchuan, who was recruited) set off from the City Lord's Mansion, passed through Hongdou City, and finally left through the South Gate, attracting many eyes along the way. The Xuanyuan Moon Demon, who received the news, also arrived. However, the military discipline of the soldiers in Yibei City is very strict, and players are forbidden to get close to talk, so the Moon Demon did not have a chance to communicate with Tu Shi.
When Xuanyuan Moon Demon watched the group walk farther and farther, Xuanyuan Dragon God rushed over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, why did you suddenly call me over?" β
"That Yu Qingfeng led people to establish a post station. Is his ability like this? He's only level 13, can he beat poison ivy? The Moon Demon's gaze kept turning to that side, never wavering or shifting: "I fought with Poison Ivy, that kind of monster system is set to level 15, but weapons below level 15 can't break the defense at all." Not all monsters can skip the challenge. β
"You're talking about the time you died the day before yesterday, and I'll tell you how you capsized in the gutter. Since poison ivy is so powerful, level 13 people will definitely not be able to beat it, so I brought 5 NPC soldiers. β
The Moon Demon shook his head: "It always feels a little strange. β
"You're thinking too much. I've seen all of Yu Qingfeng's skills, he doesn't have any attack skills, and he's two professions, he can't be upgraded to the level, and his account is useless-"
"What? None of them? The Moon Demon turned his head.
Seeing that the Moon Demon had finally paid attention to himself, the dragon god smiled and said, "Yes! But with two displacement skills, maybe he's going to rely on these two moves to escape and let the NPC kill the monster. I wouldn't find it strange that someone like him, who has a lot of intimacy with NPCs, can talk to NPCs for help. β
"Displacement Skill...... Hmph, no matter how strong the light work is, it is only light work, and it can't kill people. Let's go. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After lunch, Tu Shi continued to do the task.
NPCs are like children, and they have to be taken care of from time to time. The craftsman could always fall into the hole (which is why the poison ivy had to be removed beforehand), and the tuck man liked to rest lazily, and the soldier would not leave with a whip. Finally arrived at the land, all the craftsmen stayed to build the post station, half of the soldiers were in charge of security, and Tu Shi and the other half of the soldiers drove back to the city in empty cars to replenish the second batch of building materials.
Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin with his chin facing the sky also had to accompany him, saying that he was in charge of supervising the work. Tu Shi was a little puzzled, and went to ask the master, who explained with a smile.
Even if some players ruled out the danger of the wilderness, the post station itself still inevitably had a large amount of financial expenditure, so the government of Yibei City appointed a wealthy man to preside over the construction, and appointed him as the post officer (the highest governor of the post station), responsible for the management of the post station, the repair of the building, the reception and communication work, and the submission of its monthly report, and funded to make up for the loss of the post station. However, some nimble postmen take advantage of the social interaction of the pavilion to engage in commercial activities, which can not only achieve the purpose of "making up for losses with business", but also be profitable. The Qi family was in charge of the Cave Wild Station, and the steward came to supervise the work at the behest of the master. The housekeeper of the Qi family may be accustomed to calling people, and as soon as he comes, he will be arrogant, telling the craftsmen to be quick with their hands and feet, telling the soldiers to be vigilant, and asking Tu Shi to go around to investigate the poison ivy cave, so that no one likes him.
Lu Lingchuan secretly gestured with a hammer: "I really want to put a nail in his ass." β
"Do your job." Tu Shi left with his sword on his shoulder, patrolling around.
The work of the patrol is actually very simple, just go around in circles to see which caves still have the remnants of poison ivy. Tu Shi called poison ivy the big poison ivy and the small poison ivy respectively, the big poison ivy is dressed in human skin, know how to deceive people into the hole, the small poison ivy is an enlarged version of the tide worm, like to hide in the grass with its tail to prick people, once you have eaten a living person can transform into a big poison ivy. In the poison ivy cave that Tu Shi has swept, there will be small poison ivy stationed, so it must be checked regularly, and you can't feel that everything is fine just because you have swept it once. Poison ivy, like cockroaches, kills endlessly, and even if it takes a lot of effort to fill all the holes, the new generation of poison ivy will continue to dig holes and eat people.
"Have I been to this cave before? Forgot. Tu Shi walked to a cave, looked down, and happened to see a big poison ivy. He was shocked: why didn't this big poison ivy say a word? When I jumped down to take a look, I saw that this big poison ivy was bound by heavy silk threads, tightly constricted, and could only vaguely distinguish the shape, and there were empty eyes on its upturned face, and I didn't know what to express. Tu Shi tentatively poked with his sword, and the carapace of the great poison ivy shattered, crispy as a soda cakeβthere was only an empty shell left. Tu Shi remembers seeing this kind of scene herself.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Save the Season Late ......
Tu Shi poked with a sword, this insect had already died, and the originally hard carapace shattered as soon as it poked, revealing an empty interior, thinking that it was emptied by ants or wireworms.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Now it seems that it is most likely not the nematodes that hollowed out the poison ivy. Tu Shi carefully inspected the inside of the cave, the cave wall was piled with new soil, and there were long scratches on the walls, which were the marks of a fight, and the scratches were left by two different creatures, and the small scratches were in line with the claws of the big poison ivy.
So Tu Shi knew that there was a big guy near here who fed on poison ivy.
Hopefully it doesn't like to eat people.
