After Xu Mochen dealt with the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Domain, he obtained the real golden body from the ten steps, and returned to Middle-earth with everyone.

This time, they landed directly on the outskirts of the capital, and as soon as they landed, they found many different places.

Daqian was originally only a small country in the north, and the capital was located in the plain, but the area was not very large.

In the era of cold weapons, most of the cities were enclosed with high walls, and in the case of the capital, the walls were several layers.

Now Xu Mochen stood on the cliff and looked at it, but saw that the outermost part of the original city wall of the capital was still preserved, and some of the inside had been demolished.

Mainly the buildings in the inner city, which have also changed a lot.

In the past, it was mainly made of wood, but now it has gradually become a house, which can only be done by using reinforced concrete.

Naturally, these houses are not very high, most of them are about eight floors.

The development of science and technology does not mean that a single raw material can be quickly upgraded.

Just like this construction, you also need to know architecture.

Architecture, then, needs the support of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other knowledge systems.

So, it's not like you have reinforced concrete and you can build a skyscraper right away.

But such a gradual improvement is also very eye-catching.

In addition, it is the periphery of the capital.

In the past, the periphery was dominated by farming and the like.

But now, what Xu Mochen sees are roads extending in all directions.

On the road, in addition to pedestrians, there are also vehicles.

Naturally, this vehicle also looks like a very early riser.

Most of them are mainly industrial vehicles, and private cars and the like are very rare.

Xu Mochen can also surmise that the popularization of vehicles still takes time.

And then in the surrounding area, a lot of factories were also built.

It is not a heavy industry or anything like that, but a light industry or a technology-related industrial park.

These industrial parks, if you look at them now, have a very good level of construction and facilities.

After all, Daqian was developed from the "ancient agricultural civilization," and the relevant science and technology are somewhat lacking.

Looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, Xu Mochen was very satisfied.

Tang Derunqianling and the others behind him also widened their eyes.

As the Sect Master of the Natural Sect, she understands the role of science and technology better than others.

Of course, an "ancient person" like Tang Derun was very surprised.

Mi Luo snorted: "It's good, but if you use immortal arts, wouldn't it be simpler."

The house looks much stranger than before, and I don't know if it will fall if I hit it. ”

Xu Mochen couldn't help but glare at her: "This is built by the Terran's own strength, and it has nothing to do with immortals."

It's definitely not okay to resist immortal attacks, you don't want to mess around. ”

Mi Luo pursed her lips: "Got it."

So what are you doing with letting the Terrans tinker with this? ”

In this regard, Xu Mochen did not answer, and motioned for everyone to move forward.

After getting closer to the capital, I saw more changes.

First of all, the clothes of pedestrians, in the past, the common people wore ancient costumes such as long shirts and sleeved robes.

Nowadays, it is a lot more simplified, a bit of the style of the Blue Star Republic of China era.

This kind of clothing, not to mention the aesthetic feeling, but it is very convenient for daily wear when it is active.

Naturally, these should have been changed by order of the imperial dynasty.

The clothes were convenient, not as heavy as before, and they were neatly dressed, and they were quickly accepted by the people of Daqian.

In addition to the use of electricity and machinery, textile factories were also established, which made the production speed of cloth cloth greatly improved.

This promotion is also not achieved overnight, the textile industry needs raw materials, and raw materials are related to the planting industry.

Therefore, although the development of science and technology is fast, the promotion of the planting industry takes a longer time.

Today's Daqian, fabrics made of natural textile materials, etc., are more advanced, and they are still only enjoyed by the upper class.

However, with the advancement of industrial technology, natural chemical products have also come out.

In these cases, mass production can be achieved to a certain extent.

So ordinary people, middle and lower classes, the clothes they wear are all such products.

In terms of appearance, there is not much difference.

Then the appearance of the people, judging from their faces and physique, also improved their physical health.

With the introduction of public facilities such as showers, there have also been changes in hygiene.

Ordinary people, with their yellow muscles and thin bodies in front of them, have become a thing of the past.

From the bottom of the life, you can see the improvement of the overall standard of living.

Entering the capital, this change is more intuitive.

There were pedestrians everywhere, and the road became more wide, and Xu Mochen actually saw the railroad tracks.

The railroad tracks, which extend to the outskirts of the city, are a railway station.

The appearance of the train, Xu Mochen is not too big, after all, it is a product of the steam era.

And Daqian has entered the electric age, so naturally there will be no shortage of trains.

There are also shops on both sides of the street.

In the past, the business of Daqian was a bazaar.

This bazaar is to trade all kinds of agricultural and animal husbandry products.

There are also merchants, and the trading products will be a little richer.

But nowadays, the form of the store is more diverse.

Not only luxury goods, but also daily necessities, consumables, snacks, etc.

This shows that the people of the capital have been liberated from agriculture and turned to work in the light industry and food manufacturing.

The development of related industries has led to the emergence of more products, which has led to the emergence of various business models.

Then the people have a stable income and no problem with food and clothing, and then they will buy other things.

It's all interlocking, and it's indispensable.

Although it has not reached the level of which era Xu Mochen came from, it is also very good.

I asked the time, and it took five years to go to the Heavenly Demon Domain this time.

Five years, in ancient society, is actually quite a long time.

Especially in the era when medicine was not developed, maybe one day a cold could be fatal.

It's just that now, five years, for them, can only say a small part of life.

As the overall standard of living improves, the average life expectancy will naturally increase.

Calculate the time, it has been more than ten years since Xu Mochen was in power.

When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I was also over the age of thirty.

Of course, he is now an immortal cultivator, and this age is nothing.

The group watched it with relish, and even Mi Luo, who had always loved to complain, now closed his mouth.

After all, these things, their immortal cultivators never thought of getting them out.

Quite simply, they can fly away on their own, eat and drink without worry.

You don't need a car, or anything like that.

Stepping on a flying sword, you can fly around the entire Middle-earth, and you don't need an airplane.

Xu Mochen didn't care about the thoughts of the few people behind him, he walked away and soon came to the entrance of the palace.

This palace still looks the same as before.

It's just that the guards guarding the entrance to the palace used to carry swords or something, but now they carry guns on their backs!

That's right, it's with a gun on your back!

This firearm, but a rifle, is not as advanced as a more advanced weapon, but it is also very eye-catching.

It is estimated that the power of the guns has been verified, and no one around these guards dares to approach at all.

However, Xu Mochen knows very well that if the Western foreign countries do not say it, it is absolutely impossible to implement the words of the great cadres at present.

One is that less than 20 years after the great unification of the world, they had descendants who survived the dynasty that destroyed the country.

Even if it is not a direct line, there are royal relatives.

These people, under the centralized system, have no chance of getting ahead.

If you are too liberal, it is equivalent to giving the other party the initiative to climb up the ladder and climb up along the way.

In addition, the intervention of immortal cultivators has not been completely eliminated.

In the past, only the emperor was the only one, and the immortal cultivators supported the emperor, and the line was single.

But when the ruling power is separated, there are more choices for who they support.

As immortal cultivators, they are actually symbols of military strength.

Therefore, if there is no centralization of power, it will cause serious civil strife in the upper echelons of the entire cadres.

Xu Mochen just took a look at it and knew the pros and cons.

Now is not the time to talk about this, it is better to enter the palace first and find out the specific situation.

Tang Derun stepped forward and handed out the waist card, and the guard recognized it, so he turned around and went in to report.

They were unaware and thought that the emperor had been in the palace all along.

This also shows that Zhao Lingbo has done a good job.

Soon, a palace maid came out and respectfully invited Xu Mochen and the others in.

By the way, with the progress of society, those palace attendants will naturally be gone.

Now inside, most of them are maids and palace maids, and there are no idle people.

Xu Mochen's harem structure is also very simple, and he has no heirs, so he doesn't need anyone to serve.

So the whole palace, looking empty.

Entering the palace, Xu Mochen obviously felt that the breath of national fortune was very strong.

This directly affirms the development of the great cadres.

Zhao Lingbo, Shen Zhining, and Gu Jinge were already standing at the door of the main hall waiting, watching Xu Mochen walk in and salute together.

This parting is five years, so naturally there is something to say.

Shen Zhining and Gu Jinge are okay, five years is a blink of an eye for immortal cultivators.

But Zhao Lingbo and the proper human race are now about thirty.

Because of taking the elixir for many years, she is in good physical condition and maintains the best youth at the age of twenty.

Xu Mochen has not been there all these years, and she is handling the affairs of the court.

After a few words of chatting with each other, they entered the main hall and sat down in their own ranks.

In the five years of development of the Great Qian, Zhao Lingbo has a very good habit, and he has made excerpts and remarks on major events.

There are also small things, after all, it is also very important to govern national defense.

She has political talent, but she is not as good as Xu Mochen after all.

Xu Mochen took it with a smile, and his divine sense swept it, and it was basically clear.

He has seen the progress of the capital, but the entire Daqian is vast, and in fact, many places have not yet radiated.

On the contrary, the roads connecting the key points of the prefectures and prefectures across the country have all been upgraded.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Lingbo waited for Xu Mochen to finish reading the information, "If it continues to develop at this rate, it will only take about ten years for the cadres to improve in an all-round way."

As a result of progress in all aspects, the demand for labor has also increased, so recently we have deduced the birth policy. ”

"We have assessed this," Shen Zhining nodded on the side, "Middle- and upper-class people, due to their living conditions, family cultural background, and relatively rich resources, we encourage them to start from them."

But in response, the system of confinement was gradually abolished and replaced with a modern system of monogamy.

In this way, the problems that arose in the past will be slowly eliminated.

It's just that it's still in the early stages, and the upper class is not very willing to develop in this direction. ”

Although the imperial state is dominant, not all policies can be immediately effective.

Xu Mochen understood after a little hesitation: "There is a problem with the ratio of men and women in Daqian?" ”

"Yes," Shen explained, "we didn't notice that at the beginning.

There are national demographic statistics, but the composition of the number of women is not well reflected.

In the past two years, information has developed, and we have redone the statistics and found that the proportion of women is seriously imbalanced in the distribution of the population of Daqian. ”

In the era of male respect, most people still emphasized inheritance.

Selective birth has become a social phenomenon.

This has led to an increase in the proportion of males and a decrease in the proportion of females in the births.

If concubinage continues, it will not only be a matter of respect for women, but will lead to many adult men who cannot find a partner.

In this way, it will give rise to other social problems.

Therefore, after Shen Zhining and Zhao Lingbo found out, they immediately launched a new policy.

Xu Mochen thought for a while: "It's a little difficult.

In this way, with me as an example, first set a time for the people.

Before this time, the concubinage system was considered legal.

But after that, it's illegal.

Civil affairs departments can be set up to fully supervise the development of policies. ”

Zhao Lingbo recorded it carefully, and she couldn't help but clench the pen in her hand: "Your Majesty is preparing to dissolve the harem?" ”

"That's not true," Xu Mochen shook his head, "But just make an order, in the future, there will be no draft to enrich the harem."

Then it is necessary to revise the law, and from the perspective of the law, comprehensively restrain all the cadres, including the emperor's clan. ”

This is also a means of transition. (End of chapter)
