Subsequently, Gu Chuan and Chuan's mother finalized the many characteristics of this non-existent person one by one to ensure the consistency of their "memories".

"Because he was seriously ill, and you and I were afraid that his disease was contagious, so we locked him in a separate room, and because of this, the rest of the village did not know the details of this Marco Polo. Then you don't even need to tell the people in the village that we made it up, just tell them that we picked up someone who is dying, and then strengthen their memories as you say. ”

The cautious and sensitive thinking of the Sichuan mother and the ordinary women of the feudal era can never be classified into the same category. She continued:

"What's more, Xiaochuan, the matter itself will become more and more crooked in the spread of changes, and it will not be clear to people until the beginning. There are also a lot of rumors in Sunset City, whether true or false. It's normal for everyone to know different truths, and it doesn't have to be all unified. ”

"That's good."

Gu Chuan was secretly surprised by Mother Chuan's thoughts, remembered the psychological content he had occasionally seen in his previous life, and nodded happily.

Things don't have to be clear, and some things have to be disagreed with each other, but there is a consistent and unmistakable fact, that has extraordinary ability to spread.

It's just that Gu Chuan became more and more puzzled about Mother Chuan's familiarity, and couldn't help asking:

"Mom, why are you so familiar?"

Have you done anything bad?

Mother Sichuan knocked Gu Chuan's head straight and smiled:

"It's a few years longer than you, and it's kind of insightful."

After finishing speaking, Chuan's mother reflexively went into the house and took out an old dress. This is one of the clothes left by Gu Chuan's cheap father Qingchuan in this life before he was served by the border people.

Gu Chuan was puzzled.

Mother Chuan sat back in her place, spread her clothes on the table, and said:

"I'm going to make some old ones and get some traces of this 'Marco Polo' back."

Gu Chuan didn't think of this himself, and he wasn't going to make it complicated. Because the essence of this matter does not lie in the truth with falsehood, nor does it lie in whether Marco Polo exists or not, but only in the reasonable explanation of the travelogue.

But if Marco Polo did finish his burial because of custom, then he did leave behind some of the clothes that were also buried.

"It's just that ...... Ogawa" After putting all this in order, Chuan Mu took the herbal paint while cutting, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you tell Sunset City such a Marco Polo thing?" ”

Mother Chuan couldn't understand Gu Chuan's thoughts, it was natural.

Because she has never been able to see a whole different world like Gu Chuan, nor has she been as disturbed as Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan walked to the window, pulled up the curtain again, and stood upright in the twilight in the window.

At that time, it was as if the sun had sunk to the other side of the water, and the burning clouds kept rising from the skyline like the tide of the sea. The riverbank and Shan Tao had already finished communicating with their parents, and came to find Gu Chuan, and from a distance, they had already seen this tall and handsome young man waving to them. They also waved their hands over there and called Gu Chuan's name.

The young man's crisp cry startled the egrets perched in the paddy fields. The egret flapped its wings and flew away along the ditch.

Gu Chuan gestured to himself to come over immediately, telling them to wait for a while.

Then he turned back and saw that Chuan Mu was looking up, observing him gently.

Gu Chuan in this life still has a pair of beautiful big black eyes. Black is not as gorgeous as blue or green, it is an elegant and solemn color.

He felt childlike shame in his heart, and on the surface he pretended to be indifferent and said:

"Mom, I told you, I want to know how big the world is."

And what the world is like.

Chuanmu lowered her head, thinking about what she should cook today.

"But my current strength is definitely not enough...... So I need to have as many 'social resources' as possible and as many 'help' as possible, and that's it! ”

Then he smiled lightly:

"Alright, I'm going to go out for a while and I'll be back right away!"

In the history that Gu Chuan is familiar with, heroes are as bright as stars, and there is no shortage of heroes who single-handedly lay the foundation. Focusing on the history of great men and incredible people tells us that the stories of those people are brilliant, while focusing on the experiences around us tells us that the most mortals still rely on the help of those around us and those who know us.

Rizhao Village is Gu Chuan's indisputably strongest backing and foundation. That's why we need to go back to Rizhao Village.

"Whatever I do in Rizhao Village, no one will come to hurt me, and I don't have to be afraid of anyone. I don't need to worry about who helps me. ”

He thought.

In the field, the mountain peach and they all approached, Gu Chuan greeted them one by one, and asked:

"What do you all say about your family?"

Shan Tao was lively and said briskly:

"Okay, my parents asked me a lot about high-rise buildings, advertisements, jewelry, strange things, new houses, iron frames, Huaishui, and we live together, whether I was bullied by you, I gave you a moth bookmark, and when I was an apprentice, the teacher slipped stupidly and all kinds of things!"

There are some things that don't need to be said to know, but Yamamo's parents are doting on Yamamo. They always felt that they and their parents had come to open up this new land, and that they had been greatly wronged by keeping Shan Tao away from the town.

The riverbank is unhappy:

"That's okay, it's finally prevaricated. My parents asked me, "What have you learned about medicine, and can you cure dancing disease?" I said I hadn't learned there yet. ”

"You didn't explain that you were unemployed, did you?"

The river bank glared at Gu Chuan angrily, and said angrily:

"I didn't dare."

A group of people laughed carefree in the fields of their hometown, living as if they were children.

The little man Hongsha laughed at the big man's riverbank:

"Your big riverbank, according to the name, should be as immovable as the earth, let the water of this world wash away, how can you be so afraid of your parents!"

The water waves of the paddy fields at sunset ripple slightly, reflecting the colors of the clouds in the sky, showing a burning twilight.

The riverbank blushed:

"It's not a bad thing to be afraid of your parents......"

"It's not a bad thing."

Gu Chuan also laughed, but when he thought of serious things, he still hurriedly spoke and interrupted, otherwise this group of lively adolescent children would be able to talk about this matter until they were past this age.

"Don't forget what we're doing!"

"Where do you dare to forget!"

The faces of the young children became solemn, and they became anxious when they remembered their future in another country.

A series of various tools and components produced in the city that Gu Chuan had purchased had not yet been put away, and they were still stored in the caravan of the concave-faced merchants. Together, they returned to the concave merchant to pick up the goods. The long-term worker is responsible for counting according to the list.

Gu Chuan looked inside, only to see the concave-faced merchant in his tent, with his back to the exit, babbling something. I'm afraid this man is still pondering his "alchemy" and thinking about making a fortune.

Changgong Jiujin brought out all Gu Chuan's things, and after Gu Chuan confirmed that it was correct, he dragged it back to his home.

At that time, Chuan's mother forged evidence in the inner room.

The young men were fiddling with many of the parts Gu Chuan had acquired in the outhouse, which had very small gears and large wire spokes. Sunlight shines through the windows, and the metal glistens.

Strictly speaking, this is not steel, it is just a general product of Sunset City's cast iron process.

"Brother Chuan, where did you buy all these from?"

Shan Tao asked Gu Chuan curiously.

After Gu Chuan made up his mind, he used his savings to buy a lot of industrial products, which were wrapped in cloth in a rented house before, and now they are all brought back to his home in Rizhao Village and displayed them one by one, which amazed the young people.

Gu Chuan said:

"There's a story to tell, and you know I'm working with an encyclopedia scholar. That scholar's name is Mr. De, and he allowed me to bring some books back and read them with you, didn't he? ”

"Yes!"

"The contents of the encyclopedia compiled by Mr. De are divided into three parts: craftsmanship, history, and curiosities. When he hired me, the craft part was already finished, and he was working on the history part. It was just in the finishing stages that I was asked to run errands for him, and I met a lot of craftsmen, workers or independent craftsmen. ”

The opportunities are endless.

Gu Chuan explained.

It is not like the monopoly of the Xinshui family on all operations on the water, nor is it like the Yuanta family, which originally monopolized the construction industry. Industry, crafts, manufacturing, and other industries flourish in Sunset City, and each district is different, and no inner city family has ever been able to monopolize it.

"Some craftsmen have made some tools or their own tools, and they will show me that I am leaning on Mr. De, and behind Mr. De stands the family in the inner city, and I can still speak. In this way, I can buy their work at cost price or at least a low price below the market price. ”

In some workshops or factories, craftsmen will bring back the "goods" of those workshops or factories from their respective centralized work sites, and this kind of thing is not prosecuted by the people, and the old-fashioned workshops or new factories are not strictly investigated. These "goods" then become their "extra income".

Gu Chuan has no moral purity in this regard, and in his opinion, this extra income is not at all comparable to the risks and rewards that this industrial job entails. For him, there are only benefits, when there are a few more channels.

"These channels are very useful. Every time Mr. De asked me or him to visit a craftsman personally, I wrote it down in a small notebook. I looked at Mr. De's past search records, and if I found a suitable one, I would find time to search for it again by myself, and then write it down in my notebook. In the future, if you want to buy these things, you don't need to go to the market, you don't have to look for factories, you don't have to worry about having money and no way, you can directly find these people and buy what I want at a low price. They can provide small batches, but that's exactly what I need. They are worried that they will not be able to sell, and they are happy that I will find them. So they earned their hard-earned money, I got the goods, and everyone had a bright future. ”

Shan Tao was ignorant, but Hong Sha stepped forward and asked Gu Chuan in a low voice about the book that recorded those channels.

"You want to start a small business of reselling!"

Gu Chuan scolded with a smile.

Hong Sha touched his head and said with a sneer:

"I'm just curious! Brother Chuan. ”

"Don't be obsessed with this low-level benefit, what we have to do is a hundred times bigger than this."

Gu Chuan unpacked the things he bought one by one and spread everything out in front of the young people.

"What is this going to do?"

Gu Chuan said seriously:

"We have a lot to do together in Rizhao Village. Now, together we are going to invent something that will remove some of the obstacles to our plans for wealth. ”

Invention...... It's a mesmerizing word that makes the river bank and others refresh.

"What is it to invent and create something?"

Gu Chuan opened his bag, revealing a bag full of papers. Every piece of paper was filled with things written by Gu Chuan. Mr. De's work is not oily or watery, except for paper, which is provided in unlimited quantities by the publishing house of the Round Tower family.

He pulled out three of them, and he reluctantly drew the design drawings after recalling them repeatedly.

"That's it, you can take a look."

Gu Chuan handed the blueprint to the riverbank.

Riverbank and the other young people rushed to look at it, only to see two circles of about the same size, one in front and one behind, and in the circles were dense steel wire spokes from the center to the circumference. The two circles and the gearing are connected to each other. Most specially, there is also a long flat ellipse that crosses the front and back circles, which Gu Chuan carefully enlarged along the dotted line with engineering quotation marks, showing that this is a kind of chain resting on a gear, and it is installed with something similar to a pedal that can be turned.

The first thing to note is that this design is not perfect.

Because Gu Chuan was not in that industry at all in his last life, and he was not a university scholar, he naturally couldn't be perfect.

But he didn't need to be perfect in the first place.

The craftsmen of this world are not all fools. Gu Chuan's head may not be as good as the head of these craftsmen!

Originally, he wanted to find the craftsmen in Sunset City to work together to perfect the design, so that he could save some leg effort, not run so tired, and maybe make a little money.

It was only after he lost his job on the banks of the river that his thinking became more radical.

So Gu Chuan chose to return to Rizhao Village and ask several craftsmen from Rizhao Village for help.

"What is this?"

The teenagers were puzzled.

Gu Chuan said:

"The name of this thing is a bicycle, a bicycle, a means of transportation, a means of transportation that is ridden on and saves the strength of the legs."
