"Congratulations to the host, the number of believers has reached 100 million, unlocking the Divine Skill Mirage."

This sound came from the system's prompt, which meant that Liu Qing's believers had broken through the 100 million mark.

The increase in the number of believers to 100 million is a matter of course for Liu Qing, who has expanded his territory.

As long as we do not give up the purpose of serving the people and give more benefits to those poor families, we will be able to gain a large number of believers.

He worked so hard and consumed a lot of incense value, so it was normal for him to get so many believers.

The Divine Skill Mirage unlocked this time made him very interested, and he felt that it was really a good skill.

This magic skill can be said to be an upgraded version of dream-making, and the use scene is no longer limited to dreams, but can directly act in the real world.

It is more convenient to manifest the spirit in this way.

Of course, it was just an illusion, just to make his target see what he had created, and it wasn't really happening like that in reality.

The coverage of skills is also related to his divine power, the stronger the divine power, the more people it can influence, and the wider the coverage.

At the same time, it is also related to the mental power of the target object.

There is no problem at all with such a magic skill against ordinary people.

It would be very difficult to deal with cultivators.

After unlocking this magic skill, Liu Qing tried to use it on some cultivators.

Then he found that at present, at most, it could be used on the monks of the Yuanying realm, and it could confuse their minds and create illusions in front of their eyes, and they couldn't tell the difference.

This is still the result of concentrating the power of one or two hundred clones.

Dealing with the monks of the Transformation God Realm can only confuse the other party, and it can't produce much effect.

This is the case in the early stage of the god, needless to say in the middle stage of the god, it is even more useless.

However, his target is not those cultivators, and it has no effect on cultivators, so it is not a very important thing.

It is too difficult to influence cultivators with strong willpower, and it is much more difficult than to influence those who have money and power.

To deal with those cultivators, he will only domesticate them, and use coercive means to make them self-purify by brainwashing the true scriptures.

With the help of those cultivators, his plan to develop industry in this world did go a lot smoother.

With the help of those cultivators, the country in the mountains had convenient transportation, and life was much better than that of the world outside the mountains.

Liu Qing also has several doppelgangers who travel the world in search of various food crops and minerals.

In terms of grain and vegetables, more varieties have been introduced, making the people's dinner tables more abundant.

And the discovery of various minerals has also promoted the industrial development of this world.

This includes all kinds of fertilizers.

Such as potash fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, etc., and then let the Liu family go over to enclose the land to build a factory, and use the storage magic weapon of the cultivator to transport it.

What surprised Liu Qing the most was the discovery of oil in a large desert, and it was also a large oil field.

There is no oil extraction technology and refining technology in this world, but it doesn't matter, Liu Qing knows.

The Creator Godhead is still very useful.

After discovering that large oil field, he mobilized 3,000 cultivators to rush to that large desert, set up several teams, and used empowerment techniques to infuse the leaders of those groups with relevant skills and knowledge, and then asked them to make magic tools for extracting oil, refining oil, and storing oil.

The first oil workers in this world were all cultivators.

With this thing of oil, cars can appear.

Even airplanes can appear.

It's just that Liu Qing is not looking to build an airplane now.

What he prefers is to build a fast and convenient ground transportation network.

Waterways, roads and railways.

The cost of aircraft transportation is too great, and it is more suitable to do these low-cost ones.

If there are no cultivators, there are some places

The cost of opening up waterways or building roads and railways is not necessarily lower than that of airplanes.

But there are those cultivators who come to do coolies, whether it is to clear the river of silt or open up a canal, or to build a bridge on the water, or to open a tunnel in the mountains, the cost is not much.

With those infrastructures in place, the cost of water and land transportation is much lower than that of air transportation.

After the new emperor of Daqian ascended the throne, in the first half of the year, some Liu Qing's followers were promoted to important posts in the imperial court.

Half a year later, the Imperial Council was convened and a large-scale transportation plan called "Revitalization of Daqian" was launched, which aimed to build both water and land transportation in Daqian within 10 years, so that no matter which province Daqian was in or which province Daqian was going to, it would be possible to reach it within five days.

At this time, Liujia Commercial Bank has undertaken the project of the Ministry of Industry, built several cement hardened roads in the capital, and also built a railway from Jinzhou Mansion to the north of the capital, and a large number of goods are transported to the capital from the north every day.

The speed of the train can be seen by the bigwigs in the capital, and it is not very difficult to pave the railway to meet the emperor's requirements.

However, that would require the construction of a lot of railways in the country.

The railway from Jinzhou Mansion to the capital was built by the Liu family, and how much money it cost, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China all know.

Seventy percent of them were paid by the Liu family, in exchange for the right to operate the railway for 50 years.

The imperial court only paid 30%, but those 3 achievements drained the treasury.

-- This is still under the condition that the cadres and agriculture are developing in an all-round way and taxes are being raised by a large margin.

In the past, the treasury would not have been able to come up with that amount of money.

Now the emperor has put forward such a big transportation plan, not a waterway or a highway, but a railway, and in order to meet his requirements, the length of the railway that needs to be built is at least 100 times that of that railway, otherwise it is impossible to connect every province of Daqian.

The time proposed by the emperor is within ten years.

This made the Hubu Shangshu shout on the spot that it was impossible, and calculated an account for the emperor, calculated the current treasury income for a year, and calculated how much investment was needed to build such a long railway.

It was concluded that even if all the taxes collected by the imperial court were spent on this, ten years would not be enough to build such a long railway.

And that's just the railways.

The emperor did not panic, and said to him, "You don't have to worry about the cost, I have talked to the people of the Liu family trading house, they are willing to raise funds for the construction of the railway, and the imperial court only needs to give convenience in terms of land."

Hubu Shangshu was stunned, he didn't expect a commercial bank to have such courage to do such a big thing.

At the same time, a thought arose in his heart: "How rich is their Liu family? If you copy them, how many people will you have to fat?"

But that's just for thought.

Another question was quickly asked: "What are they willing to pay so much and what do they want?"

"100 years of transportation rights." "This includes railways, roads, and waterways."
