Chapter 9: To the Imperial City
Half a month passed in a flash, and Zhao Long also came to Wang Yan's residence on time. The soldiers are neat and never in arrears, and they don't even drink tea and go straight to the point.
Wang Yan wanted to adjust his appetite, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.
Take out a palm-sized black "brick", which is the Nokia "brick machine" on the earth, with a long standby time, it can still be used as a brick, and the key is that it can continue to be used after soaking in water and drying.
"City Lord Zhao, please look," Wang Yan pointed to his mobile phone and said, "Each mobile phone has a different number, and you can contact that mobile phone by dialing the corresponding number." ”
As he spoke, he pressed the number of the mobile phone in Zhao Long's hand, and then the mobile phone made a crisp ringtone.
Wang Yan wanted to see Zhao Long's surprised expression when he heard the bell, but unfortunately Zhao Long was very calm and quiet.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Wang Yan's voice came from the phone.
Zhao Long looked liked, and called a personal soldier to hand over the mobile phone to him: "Take it, ride out of the city, run as far as you want!" This is to test the effective distance of the mobile phone, and it is really calculated.
Wang Yan had already prepared to install a signal tower on the nearby mountain, and the signal network basically covered Black Rock City and its surrounding towns. However, he also said in advance the approximate range of the mobile phone and the role of the signal tower.
"City Lord, I've left the city, and now I'm galloping in the direction of Tianyang City!" The voice of Zhao Long's own soldiers came from the mobile phone.
"Okay!" Zhao Long was completely relieved and his face was happy, and his original suspicions disappeared.
Wang Yan took out a few portable signal towers and said, "City Lord Zhao, the range of this signal tower is about ten kilometers, and one on the back of each army on the march can ensure that the whole army can communicate without barriers. ”
In fact, this is similar to the transmitter used in the war on the earth, and the satellite cannot afford to buy it, so it has to be used temporarily.
"Hmm" Zhao Long stroked his beard, as if imagining the scene of the war, his face was full of red light, "Quickly descend this thing to the imperial city, let the emperor see it." ”
Under Wang Yan's guidance, several pro-soldiers quickly learned how to use it, just in case the instruction manual was included. As for electricity, there will be a shortage of electricity in the imperial city, who doesn't know that the power station that Li Feng first built was outside the imperial city.
After getting the royal deal, Wang Yan can be regarded as an imperial businessman. Suddenly I had the feeling of becoming the CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and stepping on the pinnacle of life. It's a pity that before he was fluttering for a while, he was woken up by a sentence.
"If you don't receive the will of the Imperial City, this thing is kept secret and cannot be sold to the outside world, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
Wang Yan scolded in his heart, and was thinking about selling it to the outside world to make money, but Zhao Long saw through it. However, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he said kindly: "City Lord Zhao, don't worry, I still understand the big right and wrong." ”
"Hmph! This thing is very important, I hope you will do it yourself!" Zhao Long finished speaking, turned his head and left.
Eh~~ Why do you make me feel good about myself, the big guys like this tune? Wang Yan is full of black lines, it seems that his strength is still very important, but this waste material body is estimated to be unable to cultivate.
Shaking his head, Wang Yan returned to his restaurant and continued to ponder how to operate the game recharge business point.
Five days later, Zhao Long came again, and brought the holy decree. The decree is written very officially, which probably means that Wang Yan has made meritorious contributions to Sheji and went to the imperial city to receive rewards and popularize the use of mobile phones.
"Hey, it seems that I have to put aside the legendary mall plan for the time being" Wang Yan sighed, and asked Da Hei to carefully arrange the relevant things for him in restaurants and Internet cafes.
A few days ago, Zhao Long's personal soldiers arrived in the imperial city with their mobile phones, and Zhao Ying, the emperor of Great Xia, was full of praise for this thing.
The emperor of one dynasty naturally had a far-reaching vision, and immediately discovered that mobile phones could not only be used in the army, but also in order to command local officials. How efficient it is for his orders to be heard by officials of all sizes across the country in an instant, and when he thinks of this, he can't wait to see Wang Yan immediately. As for whether he can talk to so many officials at one time, it is not within his consideration, I asked you to make it, you have to make it.
In Zhao Ying's view, Wang Yan has revealed unlimited refining potential through thermal power stations, computers, and mobile phones, and he is from a family of cultivators, so he may invent powerful secular weapons in the future. Isn't this how the current cannon evolved from the spiritual crystal cannon in the cultivation world? Even if a talent can't cultivate, he must firmly control it in his own hands. So Zhao Ying waved his royal pen, named Wang Yan a big official and asked him to come to the imperial city to receive the reward.
Wang Yan received the holy decree and guessed the emperor's calculations based on the novels and movies of his previous life. It's a pity that his political consciousness is not high, and he doesn't think deeply. After all, he has been in a society governed by the rule of law for most of his life, and the government there has a supportive attitude towards businessmen, so he didn't think much about the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", and he didn't know that he would not be able to come back if he left.
And Zhao Long is naturally towards the royal family, of course, he will not break it.
So the two sides reached a consensus, OK!
Black Rock City is still a little far from the Imperial City, and it only takes three days to take the official road and whip the horse, but it will take half a month to take the civil road, dry food, carriages, and accompanying guards are indispensable. You have to ask why you don't take the official road? Is it a highway that transmits government documents, and you can afford to be responsible for blocking it? Zhao Long took a group of personal soldiers and supplies to "escort" Wang Yan and went on the road.
It is said that it is "charged", in fact, it is not the case, Wang Yan's treatment is not bad, he has his own independent carriage and fruit supply, but the food is a little worse, if there is a servant girl who waits, it will be perfect.
In the carriage, Wang Yan opened his notebook and fought in the legend, and he felt very happy with a plate of fruit next to him. The fly in the ointment was to place a signal tower on a remote and uninhabited hill every time he walked, so that Blackrock's computer could connect to the server in his head.
If players in the legendary world suddenly can't connect to the server, who knows if the players in Black Rock City will riot.
Zhao Long didn't say much about this, as long as Wang Yan honestly followed him to the imperial city.
Along the way, he also passed through many cities, and whenever he went to change supplies, Wang Yan would inevitably sell computers. Because of the Holy Decree Emperor's order, he also took advantage of this to sell extremely well. Zhao Long did not interfere in this matter, as long as it did not affect the itinerary, he would let it go.
After twenty-five days, the group finally arrived at the imperial city. Along the way, the number of netizens has increased to more than 10,000, and Wang Yan's accumulated energy points are about to exceed one million. The Kowloon Continent has a vast landscape and a large population, but it is a pity that the stay time on the road is too short, otherwise the number of players can be increased tenfold.
"There is a chance to cooperate with the royal family to popularize online games" Wang Yan had a sweet dream in his heart, once the mall was opened, how much gold and how many energy points would there be, and he felt hot all over his body when he thought about it.
The Imperial City was naturally not comparable to the Black Rock City, and the 500-meter-high city wall alone stunned Wang Yan. 500 meters is equivalent to the height of a building of more than 160 floors, is it necessary to make such an exaggeration?
"The Imperial City is very good, it's not worse than your original family," Zhao Long looked at Wang Yan's stunned expression and said proudly.
Wang Yan was despised, and his head was full of black lines. However, the door wall of the Wang family's house also appeared in my memory, and it seems that it is about this high. The residence of a family is comparable to an imperial city, and how big is the city where the family is located.
In fact, the most important thing in the Xianxia world is land, and a spiritual vein often stretches for millions of kilometers, and the family builds on this basis. The movement of people in the cultivation world is measured in kilometers, so that height is really nothing. If Wang Yan knew that the mountain gate of the large sect was 100,000 meters high, it was estimated that he would be frightened into convulsions.
In the depression, I entered the imperial city, and the noise came to my face. The main road leads directly to the palace, and on both sides there are auxiliary roads on the left and right leading to the houses. On both sides of the main road are stalls, and all kinds of cries are endless. The main road is far away, and you can't see the end, which shows how big the imperial city is. In the past, in the Black Rock City, Wang Yan walked for most of the day to finish, and it took a carriage for half a day to arrive at the palace.
After seeing the majesty of the city wall, the palace is not so shocking, and the appearance is similar to the Forbidden City. After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Long led the way, and the two went straight to the main hall. On the way, Zhao Long didn't speak, and Wang Yan didn't speak, probably because of the rules of the palace. The buildings in the palace are not as luxurious and exquisite as the Forbidden City, and it feels like an upgraded version of a small city, but there are fewer people.
"What a failure!" Wang Yan complained in his heart, "Otherwise, get a few blueprints of the Forbidden City, make the emperor happy, and maybe get the official position of the chief architect of the country." Haha, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this.
"Silence!" Zhao Long turned around and said coldly, "The palace noise is going to lose your head!"
"Oh oh!" Wang Yan nodded, knowing that the palace system was one thing, but he didn't feel the horror of the palace at all. After all, it came through time.
After thinking, he stepped into the main hall, which is also known as the court. The civil and military officials stood on either side, and the emperor sat high on the dragon chair.
"Minister Zhao Long, I am ordered to bring Wang Yan back!" Zhao Long arched his hands and bowed 45 degrees and a half to the Great Xia Emperor.
Wang Yan was not a fool, he immediately knelt down and shouted while kowtowing: "Grass people Wang Yan knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The court was silent at first, and then laughed, and even Zhao Long on the side looked at Wang Yan strangely.
"Is it a mistake?" Wang Yan knelt on the ground, feeling a little embarrassed, "TV series kills people!"
"Haha!" Zhao Ying, the Great Xia Emperor who was sitting on a high level, smiled heartily, "You little leather monkey don't need to make this big salute, my bow to my parents is just to my parents and heaven and earth." In addition, I can't afford the word 'long live', which is the lifespan of only immortals in the Mahayana period. ”
"I'll wipe it, don't follow the script" Wang Yan slandered, and then the emperor should shout flat, and then he could stand up. What should I do next if I don't follow the routine?
"The minister is afraid, Wang Yan first came to the Dragon Court, he didn't know the rules of the palace, and he hoped that His Majesty would atone for his sins. Zhao Long understood and pulled up Wang Yan, but the emperor didn't want to bear this kneeling because he didn't want to ask Wang Yan to get up.
"This is the Great Xia Emperor Zhao Ying!" Wang Yan looked at the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, "How do you feel a bit like Chen Daoming, forget it, I guess I'm thinking too much." ”
Zhao Ying also looked at Wang Yan at the same time, and said in his heart: This person is so young, it seems that he can be cultivated. If he knew that Wang Yan's soul was a middle-aged uncle, he wouldn't think so.
There was silence in the courtroom.
"Wang Yan, you invented the mobile phone yourself?"
"It is the communication tool invented by the grass people for the Great Xia Kingdom", Wang Yan has no discipline and no lower limit.
"Okay!" Zhao Ying patted the dragon chair: "Can I use this mobile phone to talk to any part of my Great Xia Kingdom?"
Wang Yan is naturally full of confidence and boasted about Haikou: "As long as it takes one month, the signal towers will be all over the country, and the calls can be unimpeded anywhere in the country." "If there are satellites, you can talk all over the world.
"Come on, Feng Wang Yan will be the squire of the military department, and give a house and ten thousand taels of gold!" Zhao Ying issued a holy decree.
Wow~~~ The court immediately whispered, and even Zhao Long's eyes were wrong when he looked at Wang Yan.
"Thank you for your majesty's reward!" Wang Yancai doesn't care so much, he doesn't take advantage of the bastard, "The minister will live up to his holy hopes, and within a month, my Great Xia Dynasty will be covered with signal towers to ensure that mobile phones can be used throughout the country." ”
"Okay!" Zhao Ying stood up excitedly, "From now on, the personnel of the military department will be temporarily deployed by you, and the resources will be at your disposal, and in a month, I will let all officials in the country hear my voice." ”
Wang Yan's political consciousness is not high, and he is in excitement at this time, where would he think about the meaning of Zhao Ying's words.
All he thinks about now is that people all over the country use mobile phones, so how should I charge for them? Do I charge one tael of gold or two taels of gold a minute?
