Chapter 738: What's Wrong with This Society!
Lu Yao was puzzled: "I remember, the last time I saw Wei Qixiang, it was only two months ago, right?" What the hell is the time here? Why is it more than ten years all at once? ”
On this issue, Song Shiyi explained: "The Great Qin Empire is different from the earth, it is a virtual and real continuity, the specific calculation method is very complicated, and the continuity of movement is not uniform...... Every time we come over, we need to recalibrate as well. ”
"In reality, the people of the Qin State have experienced faster time than us, and they are closer to the Void Universe. However, because of the virtual and real reasons, they live a long life. I remember that in the data given by Great Qin before, the average life expectancy of Qin people was 801 years old - or in this case. ”
"But everyone lives for a long time, which will also affect the vitality of the whole society, the class solidification is serious, and people's fertility willingness continues to decline."
Song Shiyi ate the last bit of bread, wiped her mouth with the wet tissue she brought, and handed Lu Yao and Isabel a slice each.
From this point of view, Qin Shi Huang's adoption of the imperial feudal system was actually a strategy. Through the most intuitive land interests, we will stimulate everyone to expand their territory, send more people to the frontier, let these people become rich through military exploits, and stimulate the whole society. Then drive more people in the country to continue to join the army, and lead the empire forward through the military merit system. ”
"People do not suffer from inequality, and the realization of wealth through military merit will always stimulate many people to join. Combined with the emperor's national policy of enshrined the gods, as long as the soldiers are promoted all the way, they can eventually become the actual controllers of a world, which is still very attractive. ”
She lifted a strand of hair hanging down from her ears: "The information we have shows that after Qin Shi Huang issued the decree, for a long time, the entire Great Qin was thriving and developing extremely fast. People actively joined the army and pioneered wasteland, and used trade to stimulate the digestion of production capacity in various industries, opening a golden age. ”
"It's just that any decree and policy has the limitations of the times. With the passage of time, it has become more and more difficult for Great Qin to expand, although it is still conquering one world after another, but basically these places are of low value and no one cares about them, and strategic places and resource points are occupied by other civilizations or gods of the same size. ”
"There are only two paths before the Empire, either to continue to expand or to reform the system of the past. But the reforms failed one after another, and it was difficult to turn around......"
"Therefore, Daqin's goal can only be to point to the bordering zone and continue to carry out expeditions."
Lu Yao already knew what was going on.
The appearance of the Void Mirror brought a powerful turbulent tide, causing the Yuren to create the Kuroshio and give another set of continuous heavy blows to the Great Qin Empire.
The economic crisis can no longer be suppressed.
……
Lu Yao asked Wei Qixiang's address.
"You're going to Wei Qixiang's house? Aren't you never idle! Mr. Huang, they only have orphans and widows. Song Shiyi's face was both shocked and nervous.
Lu Yao: "......"
Depend on.
It's not okay to be a good person once in a while.
What's wrong with this society!
Can I still eat them in the past?
Lu Yao said: "I am optimistic about Wei Qixiang, so I will make a personal investment, if he can escape in the future, then this favor will be very valuable." ”
"I see."
Song Shiyi showed a relieved expression: "I'll just say, Mr. Huang, you can't ...... It's not just a casual person. ”
“……”
Lu Yao's forehead was bruised.
What kind of person am I in your eyes?
Isabel suddenly said, "Can you have another four-cake cake?" ”
"It's delicious, isn't it?" Song Shiyi was immediately excited.
"It's delicious." Isabel than thumbs up.
The two girls exchanged local food, ate and walked all the way, and then took a horse-drawn carriage - there are horse-drawn carriages, iron cars, manpower trailers, and bamboo wheeled vehicles that need to be stepped on by themselves in Xianyang City, and there are a wide range of choices.
The carriage ran all the way, driven by a suspected Indian wearing a feathered hat and a naked muscular upper body.
He flicked the reins, and he was still playing the flute accompaniment all the way, his breath was very steady, and the flute sound was good.
I ran back and forth for more than forty minutes.
The carriage was parked outside a long wall.
Song Shiyi took out a wallet, took out a banknote from it and handed it to the other party.
"Thank you, beautiful young lady, and I wish you luck and good health."
"Please be careful, the security here is not very good, please don't stay here at night, then, goodbye."
The coachman set up the car and walked away.
Lu Yao asked for a banknote and came over to observe.
The pattern in the center of the banknote is a copper coin with an outer circle and an inner square, on which the words "Daqin Yuan Coins" are written from left to right and from top to bottom.
The square hole in the center is printed with the face value of "Pick Er", and a line of small print on the bottom side represents the banknote number. On the other side, there is a blackbird totem with wings spread, representing the Xuanniao, and on all four sides are the seedlings surrounding the Xuanniao.
"This is the legal tender of Daqin, the Daqin Yuan."
Song Shiyi introduced: "The power of faith is the gold of this world, and the power of faith is circulated with "Xuan Ticket". The exchange rate of Circle and Faith Power fluctuates, but it has been around 8:1 over the years. ”
She handed over a black card.
Lu Yao saw that there were golden numbers on the Xuanzi and the Arabic numeral 4005 below.
He tried to inject the fire of faith, and the number on it suddenly became 4105.
It's really convenient.
When he came back, Lu Yao didn't touch any money, he paid for it with Hua Ji'er and Zhao Zhuzhu, and he just ate it. Only then did I really understand the local currency of the Great Qin Empire.
Lu Yao asked: "Does every family have this card?" ”
"Wei Qixiang is a general, there must be one at home." Song Shiyi said.
She continued to lead the way in front of her, and said in her mouth: "Teacher Soap came here once before, and I originally wanted to find General Wei to learn about the recent situation of the West Pole Palace, but because the West Pole Palace was blocked, it was temporarily forbidden to enter. When I came over, I learned that General Wei was punished and demoted to the ...... of the expeditionary force"
Wei Qixiang's home is in the "Bianbianfang", where the houses are narrow and tight, and there are many large and small shacks.
The streets are also unhygienic, with rats running around on the roads, ropes with clothes and sheets hanging everywhere, and only very narrow feasible paths.
A few children with ropes and planks around their necks were hawking along the streets. They sell boiled eggs, grilled steamed buns, skewers of unknown meat, thick matches, sugar balls, and some hand-rolled cigarettes wrapped in white and yellow paper.
Outside, it is a postmodern avant-garde cultural city where the past and the present are intertwined, but here it seems to be a place that has been missed by the times.
The residents along the border are washing their faces and rinsing their mouths on the side of the street, building stoves and cooking on fires, which is very smoky, which reminds Lu Yao of the town in his hometown when he was a child.
That was nearly 20 years ago.
Wei Qixiang's family lived on the second floor of an old house inside, and there were some rotten and blackened wood and broken bamboo piled up in the corridor, which looked like someone had picked up the rags.
Song Shiyi knocked on the wooden door with a piece of yellow rune paper and wormwood.
A small voice came from inside: "Who?" ”
"Sister Yu, I'm Xiao Song, I came here with Teacher Ding last time, from Heavenly Court."
"Wait a minute."
The door slowly opened, revealing a sallow woman inside. She was wearing a camel-colored knit sweater, her hair was pulled up, and her face was haggard.
She glanced at Lu Yao and Isabel next to her: "Who are these two?" ”
"This is Mr. Huang Jia, Miss Mary, a colleague and friend of mine."
"Come in, please."
The room is a one-bedroom apartment, and although the tables, chairs, and cabinets don't look new, the floors and furniture are clean. There is also a canvas bag on the chair with two books in it.
There was a seven or eight-year-old kid in it, who was cleaning with a broom, and he glanced at the people who came, and then he was bored again.
"Wei Zhao, polite." Yu said.
Then the child said sullenly: "Uncle, aunt is good." ”
Then he ran away again.
Yu Shi then said: "What are the two of you?" ”
Song Shiyi glanced at Lu Yao and saw that he didn't speak, so she said: "We participated in the mission with General Wei last time, and we happened to be passing by today, so let's take a look, I hope it won't bother too much." ”
"No, no, the woman will go and make tea, and she will be in a daze on the bed today."
Yu got up.
Lu Yao raised his hand and said, "No." I'm bringing something for General Wei, and I'm stopping by this time. ”
With a flick of his hand, he suddenly picked up a sausage.
"This is the [Stove Food, Sausage] made by the [Stove God], but it can't be stored for too long." Lu Yao handed the sausage to the other party.
Yu was stunned: "But the husband didn't say this, and the woman can't take it." ”
"This is the gift that the Stove God gave to everyone last time, and I took this copy of the Wei Staff, and I didn't have time to give it to him. Madame, please accept it, and you will find out when the guard general comes back and asks. ”
Lu Yao also held back to come up with such a paragraph.
Yu hesitated for a while, but finally took the sausage, and she immediately recognized that this thing was unusual: "This looks like a very expensive thing......
Song Shiyi said on the side: "If Sister Yu is reluctant to eat, she will pawn it and sell it, so as not to waste it." ”
“……”
Yu looked grateful to Lu Yao: "Thank you, thank you." ”
"Just drop by."
Lu Yao found that he couldn't send money if he really wanted to send it. Fortunately, there is this sausage in the props, which is quite suitable.
This is different from smashing the face of the gods and demons in the simulator.
If you use money to send a normal person coldly, the other party doesn't seem to dare to ask for it.
Just show a little bit of affection.
So he said, "Take your leave." ”
As soon as Lu Yao left, Isabel followed, and Song Shiyi said, "Then let's go first, Sister Yu take care." ”
The three of them walked downstairs, and the young Wei Zhao rushed all the way, he picked up a small burlap bag and handed it to Lu Yao: "Inside are the peanuts fried by our family, my mother said, give it to you to eat." ”
"Thank you."
Lu Yao happily took it.
Wei Zhao suddenly asked, "Is that intestine really brought by my father?" ”
Lu Yao nodded.
Wei Zhao said: "My father never let people send things to the house. ”
The young man took out something from his pocket and stuffed it to Lu Yao: "This is a rare card I won, for you." ”
With that, he turned around and ran.
Although the young man didn't talk much, Lu Yao generally understood what he meant, this kid just didn't want to owe favors, and he had a strong sense of self-esteem at a young age.
Lu Yao looked at the thing in his hand.
This is a psionic encapsulation card, which has been opened and contains an item.
……
[Basic interface card]: You can add external interfaces to type I and type II devices, and only one device can be used.
[External interface (0/3)]
……
Apparently this is something made by the Spirit Clan.
Interface card? External interfaces?
Available in Type I and Type II installations...... What does this mean exactly?
Lu Yao immediately thought that he had the [Mimic Deep Burial Box Type II] and the [Shrine Machine Type I] in his hands.
External interfaces that can be expanded and upgraded for both devices?
He immediately took the test.
