At the beginning of March, the outside of Qingyang City was in full swing, and the entire periphery of Qingyang City was like a large construction site, and hundreds of thousands of laborers from the emperor's tomb were deployed to strengthen and build Qingyang City Defense.

In the Zhangtai Palace, the new Jiuqing Shaofu Li Zhao is reporting to the emperor on the recent construction progress, he used to be the Shaofu Zhao Shu when he was in office, the subordinate officials of the Shaofu, the imperial order, responsible for the weaving in the palace, when it was both a subordinate of Zhao Shu, and the same Yuedi Township Party, the two have the same suit, when the former left prime minister Huo Zheng was in power, Zhao Shu was demoted out of the capital, Li Zhao was also expelled from the capital, many officials like him who were excluded from Beijing in the past were basically transferred back to the imperial court by the emperor's edict and entrusted with important tasks, Now the old superior Zhao Shu has returned to Beijing and has been promoted to the right prime minister, so he recommended Li Zhao to take over the post of Shaofu.

Li Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the entire amount of repair of Qingyang City is not large, it can be completed in three months, the main progress of the project is to widen the moat, build an urn city in the city, increase the height and strengthen the original city defense system, Qingyang City is too big." In the past in the era of the nations, the Kwantung countries have never been in the Guanzhong situation, since the domination of the world, Qingyang city defense has not been repaired for nearly 60 years, most of the city defense weapons are seriously aging, many can not be used, and now Weichen is redeploying craftsmen to reorganize the city defense weapons. ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly, and finally put his mind at ease, he kept recalling the history of the defeat of the Great Qin Empire in his mind, and kept telling himself in his heart that he must not let down his vigilance, he didn't want to be the second Qin II, although the same history may not be repeated, but it is always right to be prepared.

Mu Sheng asked, "How is the repair of the gates guarding the main transportation roads in various places?" ”

Li Zhao didn't look at the jade wat board in his hand to remember, fortunately the old superiors recommended, Li Zhao is now proud, the new official took office, he wants to show the emperor's achievements since taking office, he has long memorized the things the emperor wants to ask.

Li Zhao calmly said: "Your Majesty, the border defense area is the focus of the imperial court, and the passes are fully armed, and the city defense only needs minor repairs and minor repairs." However, the inland passes are indeed in disrepair, and since the unification of the world, the military value of these inland passes is no longer high, and the key military defense of the imperial court is mainly concentrated along the Great Wall. ”

Li Zhao paused and asked: "Your Majesty is so mobilized to overhaul the city defenses of various passes, but why is it?" ”

Mu Sheng said: "I just think that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and after a long time, I am afraid that some weapons are slack, and we have to pay attention to it." ”

Li Zhao said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Shaofu Lizhao presented another wooden box, pushed open the lid of the box and took out a piece of paper, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the paper that Weichen handed over to Shaofu according to your recipe, this thing is indeed wonderful, the handwriting is clear, the weight is light, the cost is low, and it is easy to carry." ”

Mu Sheng took the pale yellow paper and stroked it for a long time, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, very good." ”

He understands too well that cheap paper has a huge role in promoting a civilization, and he came here to point out this most critical technology tree in advance, with cheap and cheap paper, printing technology can be developed, and book knowledge will become readily available, which is convenient for the inheritance of civilization, and can also allow many studious people from poor backgrounds in the world to get the opportunity to read, and the imperial court can also select more scholars to become officials in the court, which can break the monopoly of knowledge by the family to a certain extent, and then monopolize the possibility of official positions.

Now the situation of the country has this kind of signs, the left and right hands around them, the left minister is high, the right minister Zhao Shu is from the family, their ancestors were all famous families, choose to choose, the officials can only choose those descendants of the scholars, and only they have the money and leisure to read and write, which leads to the poor family is difficult to produce noble sons, after a long time, it is inevitable to degenerate like the later Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the politics are extremely corrupt, and the court is in a miasma, which is not the result he wants to see.

The promotion of this papermaking technique is for the next stage of governance, to promote the imperial examination system, no matter in any era, relying on the examination to become an official, it is always 10,000 times fairer than your father is an official, you can be an official.

After Shaofu Li Zhao retreated, Mu Sheng retracted his thoughts, he involuntarily paced to the national map, remembering what Li Zhao asked just now, and wondered if he had overreacted?

Will there be a rebellion? The historical trend of this different world is also a black eye for Mu Sheng, he wants to know who the potential traitor is, and sending the Tsing Yi envoy to arrest people directly is enough to change the direction of history. Now, you can only rely on speculation in your heart to prevent problems before they happen.

At this moment, Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, stepped forward into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the great patriarch asks to see you." ”

"Announce quickly." Mu Sheng knew that as long as this woman took the initiative to see him, she would definitely make something.

Ahlami stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the concubine's body is made of spirit crystals to make a flying kite. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Okay, take me to have a look." "Good guy, since Tianque can't be used, he can't fly around like he used to, he can only use his body, and now there are flying kites.

Ahe Lammy accompanied the emperor to the square in front of the Four Seas and One Palace, and many palace people were already watching at the outermost part of the square, pointing and pointing, and guessing what strange thing this was.

At this time, the three flying kites stopped at the west end of the square, only to see that the shape of the flying kite looks a bit like a large wooden bird, and its two wings are fixed wings, carved into the shape of bird wings, Mu Sheng stepped forward and took a closer look, this huge wooden wing is actually very aerodynamic, the shape is a bit like a glider, but there are too many useless gorgeous decorations.

Ahlami is also a product of a reproduction of the Kunwu Divine Kingdom, which is not her invention, and she does not necessarily understand the principle of flight.

Mu Sheng circled around the flying kite a few times, and couldn't help but be amazed, it seems that the ancient monks of the Kunwu Divine Kingdom era have developed a set of mature divine civilization, or it can also be called a magic civilization, this is obviously something that can only be figured out when the civilization reaches a fully mature state, but how did such an advanced divine civilization decline inexplicably later?

Ahlami pointed to the flying kite and stepped forward to introduce: "Your Majesty, this kind of small flying kite can only carry the weight of one person, only enough for a single flight, and there is a large flying kite that can carry up to three people to fly, but the large flying kite is too difficult to make, so it can only be used for this small experiment at the moment." ”

Ahlami pointed to a complex and small metal magic weapon on the tail of the flying kite, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the power source of the flying kite, and every time it flies for five hours, it needs five high-grade spirit crystals. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was eager to try it, and he couldn't wait to get on the flying kite and soar immediately.

"Your Majesty will show you how the flying kite flies, and this flying kite can be piloted by ordinary people, as long as you follow the flight rules."

Ahlami beckoned, the two test pilots sat on the two flying kites, after the test pilots operated, the flying kite tail to provide the power of the magic weapon suddenly shook, a huge invisible air wave from the tail of the flying kite sprayed out, the flying kite flight mode is similar to the airplane, after taxiing in the square for a distance, the flying kite with the test pilot flew into the sky, rushed to the clouds.

Mu Sheng was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the spirit crystal could be used? Not only can monks be used as energy bars to replenish spiritual power, but they can also be used as a power source for transportation? This is too powerful, such as the development and utilization of various energy sources in later generations, whether it is a steam engine or later nuclear power, in the final analysis, it is just boiling water with steam to provide power.

In addition to Mu Sheng, who has seen the world later, the other onlookers who watched the flying kite take off were so shocked that their jaws were about to fall to the ground, how could they have seen such an amazing scene, and the legend says that only immortals can fly into the sky, when did an ordinary person drive a wooden bird to fly into the sky in broad daylight?

Two or two flying kites flew around in the sky like birds flying freely, and the two flying kites also performed with each other, as if the two big wooden birds in the sky had come to life.

Almost all the onlookers in the square knelt on the ground and prayed to the two big birds in the sky, as if they had really seen a fairy.

Even Yang Jin, the head of the inner court who followed the emperor and never left him, was at a loss for a while, he looked at Ahe Lami's eyes full of awe, he didn't expect this woman to be too able to live, she used to help the first emperor to refine the pill, and now she helps the emperor to fly, she is indeed not an ordinary person.

Mu Sheng was extremely satisfied and asked, "Ah Jiu, how does this flying kite fly?" I want to fly up and have fun, too. ”

When Ahlami heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty, you must not, you are the king of a country, you can't easily get into danger, the flying kite is very difficult to control, it takes time to train, someone improperly controlled it and was seriously injured when it was flying in the previous experiment, these two boys have been practicing for more than three months to be able to fly so freely, and when the concubine makes a large flying kite that can take people to fly, Your Majesty you are trying." ”

Mu Sheng seemed to feel that he was resurrecting a civilization that had long since declined, and he said happily: "Okay, very good, Ah Jiu, you say, I will reward you with whatever you want." ”

When Ahlami heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you have already given me a lot, Ah Jiu just asks Your Majesty to support the study of the concubine's body." ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "No, this is not good, I have to reward you with something." Mu Sheng thought for a while and suddenly said: "Such a merit must be made a marquis, so let's do it, I will make you the marquis of Nanyang, and the same rank will be the same as the candidate, and I will officially give you the house of Changping Jun in the past." ”

Seeing that the emperor was quite high-natured, it was not easy to refuse, and said, "Your Majesty, can the Central Plains still knight a woman?" ”

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "Of course you can, no matter how long it is a man or a woman, as long as it has merit in the country, you can be a marquis and a king." ”

Ahlami said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”

Mu Sheng remembered something and said, "By the way, Ah Jiu, how is the spiritual furnace in the Taiji Palace built?" ”

Ahlami said: "Your Majesty, if it is completely completed, it will have to wait at least until the year after tomorrow, and now it is only to complete the construction of three spirit furnaces, one spirit furnace output, producing ten high-grade spirit crystals per week, and it will take nearly two years to complete the construction of the subsequent nine spirit furnaces." ”

Mu Sheng nodded again and again when he heard this, the construction of this large spirit furnace is equivalent to the establishment of a spirit crystal production factory, and if this is repaired, it can basically use the spirit furnace to resurrect some of the civilization achievements of the primeval era to a certain extent.
