Why is the outside world still the same after the monk is out? Because local advantages and non-development are better than development, local advantages make the society rely on the original way to solve problems, although not the most scientific and effective, but the most experienced, everyone has the highest degree of acceptance.

It is better not to develop than to develop, and maintaining the status quo allows the monarch to maximize his power, so why risk development? When it develops, do you want others to fall on it?

In such an environment, unless there is an external force to intervene to break the local advantage and the situation that no development is better than development, it will be difficult for those born in it to change the situation, and the elite of this group is not willing to make changes.

That's why the monks came out of retreat for thousands of years to see that it was still this system, it was still this taste, it was still this method.

Therefore, the monk should lose his own surplus and avoid falling into the trap of local advantage.

Because Yun Yao crossed to bring new ideas, Zhu Cheng has been developing, and after earning the monk's elixir and exercises, he lowered the threshold for cultivation, let ordinary people also cultivate together, developed cheap cultivation methods that ordinary people can also use, and replaced expensive magic weapons with rune paper to improve the utilization rate of medicinal materials. He also combined the ability of monks with production, increased crop yields, and developed mana tools, which built Zhucheng into a good shape within five hundred years.

Yunyao brought the concept of development to take root in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and now the residents of Zhucheng know that development can bring a lot of convenience and allow people to overcome natural disasters, so everyone accepts development.

But for the surrounding countries, the big countries of Qi and Chu, what Zhu Cheng did in Lu was simply a bad manner, because the monarch of Lu had already abdicated and made way for Xian, and now Zhu Cheng is managing Lu on his behalf, and Lu has completely fallen into Zhu Cheng's sphere of influence. At the same time, the border of Zhucheng has expanded to the border of Yue and Chu, and the reason why it is so huge is because the local advantages of small countries are small and cannot withstand blows, so they have thrown themselves into the arms of Zhucheng and accepted the management and convenience of Zhucheng.

But the big countries would not accept Zhu Cheng's development theory, so there was a matter of Chu recalling students. At the same time, in the country of Qi, it was because some students learned the great principles of development, and when they returned to the country of Qi, they began to engage in the east and west, which made the monarch of the country of Qi tireless, and he only felt that these students also wanted to follow Zhu Cheng to overthrow the monarch, so they could only order to stop development.

The development of Zhucheng is obvious to all, and the big countries also admit that Zhucheng is indeed very powerful, but Zhu Cheng does not want to change other big countries. They are living a good life, but they don't want to be overthrown for no reason. As for whether the countrymen and savages in their own country have the need for development, the monarch does not care, anyway, they just want to keep the status quo, as long as they maintain the status quo, even if the countrymen and savages want to develop, it will not help, and the monarch can join forces with the nobles to suppress these trends.

If you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't make progress, you will be reactionary. Trying to maintain the status quo, not accepting development and progress, and vainly trying to maximize one's own eternal interests is reactionary.

After listening to the conversation at the next table, Lu Ban was even more curious about the first mortal world, and couldn't help but ask the ghost: "Is the first mortal world similar to the second mortal world?" ”

"It's far away, where you live, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods don't dare to make trouble. But in the First Mortal World, it has been rumored that cannibalism can increase cultivation since hundreds of years ago, so there are often little demons attacking the human race, and they need to be protected by monks' swords. Let's just say that there are many lurking demon clans in this Zhu City that may erupt into cannibalism at any time. ”

Lu Ban was startled by the ghost's words, he didn't expect that there were man-eating monsters in such a prosperous city.

"I didn't lie to you, you should also pay attention to safety when you study here in the future, and try not to go out alone at night." The ghost asked: "Next, I will take you to the place where you live, and tomorrow I will take you to apprentice, I will find you a mechanic master, who specializes in building mechanical parts, and after you learn it, you can go back to Chu to build a stronger war machine." ”

Although Lu Ban was curious and asked why such a powerful monk was looking for him, he didn't speak. Because the most important thing is to have the opportunity to learn, it doesn't matter what else, anyway, I'm just a mortal, and there are not many things that can be deceived by the other party. It's better to go with the flow, learn the technique, and then continue to work with the other person. You must study hard, Lu Ban is determined to integrate into Zhucheng as soon as possible and master the skills.

Lu Ban is a person with strong self-control, and since he has decided, he will practice it immediately.

The next day, Ghost Wen took Lu Ban to a private technical school, and the teacher inside saw that Lu Ban was in his thirties, and he was not very willing to teach, but in the end, Ghost asked what he said before he reluctantly accepted the other party.

Then the ghost asked to go first, he wanted to go back and pretend to be Lu Ban, lest everyone think that Lu Ban was missing.

Luban began the arduous road of study, first of all, to learn mathematics, it is really too difficult, but it is difficult to learn, he rests for two hours a day, and reads books the rest of the time. Lu Ban found that Zhu Cheng's writing was recorded on a kind of paper as light as a cicada's wings and as thin as silk, rather than a bulky bamboo slip, and everyone wrote with a kind of ink-absorbing brush, which also had different hardness, and the masters used soft pens, while novices used hard pens.

It's hard to learn, but it's not for nothing that the ghost asked to choose Lu Ban, Lu Ban is a little bit familiar with mechanical knowledge, and he draws inferences from one another.

Yun Yao has traveled through five hundred years, and it is very clear that the IQ of the ancients is actually no worse than that of modern people, but the ancients could not receive enough education. The genius among the ancients is a genius, and if you stand at the same starting point as modern people, then ancient geniuses can definitely make modern people out of reach.

Lu Ban is an ancient mechanical genius, what he lacks is enough knowledge, and now the opportunity to make up for it has come, Lu Ban is like a sponge absorbing knowledge, and the door to a new world has opened, and Lu Ban also used the money left by the ghost to buy various machinery-related books, knowing that machinery needs energy to move. The most used in Zhucheng are steam and electricity, and both of them are developed with mana true fire.

The car I saw on the street without a horse was a steam car, which was propelled by real fire and boiling water. And electricity is also boiling water to push the generator to get stable electricity.

When Lu Ban first heard that electricity was lightning in the sky, he was frightened, obviously not expecting that mortals would have a moment to master the power of heaven.

However, lightning is not the most remarkable, and now Zhu Cheng is talking about the 'Star Drawing Talisman Machine', which is the latest generation of Talisman Drawing Machine, which can draw very, very small talismans, but although the area of the talisman is small, the function is extremely powerful, although Lu Ban doesn't know what these things are used for, he only knows that they are very powerful.

In fact, it is equivalent to a chip, which is used to process data. Rune paper has been developed for five hundred years, and in addition to being used for casting spells and setting up formations, it has actually developed to the same level as magic weapons.

The magic weapon is so powerful that it can process all kinds of information and give feedback. The process of refining the magic weapon of the monk is actually the same as drawing a talisman, which is to burn the lines of mana in the magic weapon, but the efficiency of this kind of manual refining of the magic weapon is not enough, and even a senior immortal may miss it, resulting in waste.

The star drawing rune machine is to use the machine instead of manual processing of high-precision rune paper, and the rune paper created is a level of magic weapon, and then as long as the rune paper is pasted on the weapon, you can quickly get the effect of high-quality magic weapon. The significance is extraordinary, from now on, there is no need for a professional refiner, you only need to buy a rune paper chip, you can quickly get the magic weapon, maybe the quality is not as good as the refiner's refining, but the effect is stable, there are many styles, for the increasingly broad world of cultivating immortals, mass production of magic weapons is an inevitable thing, because the market is large enough.
