116 Fallen West City
"You...... You...... It's just too deceitful! Master Zheng pointed at An Kang while spurting blood.
An Kang smiled: "I'm afraid it's not me who deceives people too much, but you, Lord Zheng." Master Zheng and I are not guilty of river water. You take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. I don't understand why Lord Zheng did such a black hand to me. If it weren't for this Dapeng Goldwing, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I would have been able to get out of here today. ”
Master Zheng rested in his chair for a while, but his finger pointing at An Kang never rested. It's just that at this time, he was busy spurting blood and was speechless.
An Kang floated away in the angry gaze of Lord Zheng.
After An Kang and his entourage and their carriage left the field of vision, Lord Zheng glared angrily at Hong Sanye and the others.
Hong Sanye hurriedly explained: "Lord Zheng, you also saw it. Even you have nothing to do with him, let alone us. ”
Although Hong Sanye said this, he became more and more determined in his heart to follow Ankang to learn skills.
How much ability Ankang has, in fact, Hong Sanye, the crooked-necked officer and others don't know. They only know that those teenagers who take Ankang as their master and as their eldest brother are either amazing in martial arts or amazing in magic in just a few dozen days, whether it is the practice of martial arts or the cultivation method in the world, where is there such a fast?
Today, Ankang used his Dapeng Goldenfinch Bird to teach the three powerful magicians brought by Master Zheng, and he couldn't see Ankang's means. But that day in the martial arts arena, An Kang defeated the priest Shen Yang with his bare hands.
Who was Priest Shen Yang? Although he is not the top martial arts master, nor is he the top magician, he is the head of a sect after all. He was one of only a few priests in the Great Song Kingdom. Where would ordinary people be his opponents.
However, he was defeated by Ankang's men, and he also heard through the grapevine that the priest was courteous to Ankang.
As soldiers, Hong Sanye and the crooked-necked officer knew very well what the courtesy of Priest Shen Yang to Ankang meant. The soldiers do not respect the enemies they defeat, they really respect the enemies who defeat them, and even hold them in place and rub them together. The strong will always be the object of worship.
The well-being of returning to the new city is very complicated. On the one hand, I can indeed feel the energy of the Force on the meteorite; On the other hand, I have no idea what such a force represents.
The tricky matter of falling meteors was completely solved, but then it was even more tricky, if not impossible.
Nangong Man, a Force Awakened Person, is still helpless, let alone himself.
If Nangong Man really made a difference, then the scene that Ankang saw in this era was definitely not what it is now. Technology is still very primitive. Humanities are still very backward. Not only are there disputes between countries, but even between counties, towns, and neighbors are fighting over trivial matters.
In this case, how can you fight against the coming alien high-tech forces?
In the past month, all of Ankang's time and energy have been focused on solving the falling meteorite, and there has been no further communication with Nangong Man.
Now that the matter is over, Ankang decides to discuss it with Nangong Man. What's more, after Nangong Man fell into a coma, he also needed to go to Taizhou Sect to visit.
An Kang originally wanted to tell his father An Tianhan about his preparation for a long trip, but An Tianhan told him something that gave him a headache but was happy for his father.
At noon, the lord of the city, Song Yande, summoned the main officials of the new city to meet the king's edict in his camp.
In addition to appeasing the people living in and around the new city, and requiring officials at all levels to use all their strength to resettle the people, the edict also had an important appointment. Song Yande, the city lord of Gushan City, was no longer in charge of the new city, but renamed the new city "Falling West City", taking the meaning of the west of the meteorite falling ground.
And the city lord of Falling West City is An Tianhan.
Since Song Yande stepped down as the city lord of Shenxi City, he took a group of officials and people to Gushan City.
Song Yande's departure was actually a big blow to Falling West City. Because although many of the city's citizens have lived in the city for generations, the city has been completely destroyed. It's harder to repair a city than to build a new one.
Therefore, many people moved to Gushan City with Song Yande. Although Gushan Castle has been in disrepair for a hundred years, most of the buildings in the castle are still there, and various facilities in the city are still there. All you need is time to make repairs and you can start your normal life in no time.
An Tianhan was at a loss for the people to leave. The people are gone, and the short-term effect is that there is no labor force to rebuild the city. The long-term effect is that the city has lost most of its vitality. Cities are places where industry and commerce gather, and if they lose their vitality, industry and commerce will go with them, and a vicious circle will be created as a result.
Long-term impact, Ankang thinks that he has no good solution, but he can still help his father solve the short-term impact.
"Oh? You mean you can find enough labor? An Tianhan listened to An Kang confidently say, a little unconvinced. But my eldest son has surprised himself too much this month. I really don't know if he has any other unexpected ideas.
"What do you see what that is?" An Kang pointed to the armored carriage he had modified outside the tent.
"You mean, with your steam engine?"
An Tianhan has seen the power of the steam engine installed in the carriage, but isn't this steam engine just like a horse or a scalper with greater strength? Even if you send a hundred scalpers, it's a drop in the bucket. What's more, the cost of a steam engine is not unexpected.
An Kang nodded: "Yes, just use the steam engine." ”
"But ......"
An Kang smiled: "Dad, I know what you're worried about. The steam engine is still a very backward thing, but it can be used countless times more than you might think. ”
"But there's not much money left in the treasury of Fallen West City." An Tianhan almost bankrupted his family in order to help An Kang build his modified carriage, so he naturally knew how much copper a steam engine needed.
"First of all, the improved steam engine didn't need to use as much copper. Besides, the treasury of Meteoric West City is not enough money, and I still have a lot of money here. In addition, since the Falling West City has suffered natural disasters one after another, then the Great Song Kingdom should also use the treasury to support it. ”
An Tianhan listened to what An Kang said, and was both happy and worried: "I'm afraid the treasury is not much." Years of war have drained the treasury. ”
An Kang smiled: "The treasury doesn't have much money, so you can raise donations." ”
"Fundraising?"
An Kang nodded. In the 21st century, whenever and wherever natural disasters occur, fundraising is an excellent means of disaster relief. Sometimes, money alone is not enough.
