Chapter 419: Something I Expected

The reason why the Five Sects promised Yuqingzong that they would send people to help Yuqingzong participate in the construction work after the rail transit construction reached their sphere of influence seemed to be for the merits that Ye Zan said. www.biquge.info However, merit cannot be seen or touched, and they are not like Ye Zan, who has a merit tablet to determine how much merit they can obtain. To them, this is just a one-sided statement by Ye Zan, and they are afraid that they are not even suspicious.

In fact, the Five Sects would have such a promise, on the one hand, because of the strength of the Yuqing Sect, and on the other hand, it was also based on the benefits of the Spirit Rice. With the current momentum of the Yuqing Sect, the five Yuan God-level powers are in charge, and there is also the support of the top sect Arctic Sword Sect behind them, and the five sects are looking for trouble, but they don't dare to really tear their faces with the Yuqing Sect. What's more, the Yuqing Sect did not give them a way to live, not only did they make concessions in recruiting disciples, but also gave a lot of benefits in the spiritual rice, so they naturally had to express it.

However, when the five sects really want to send people to participate in the construction of rail transit, the five sects may also send one or two ancestors over to mean it. The main thing is that they just show their attitude, as for the so-called merits, at most they have the intention of beating rabbits with grass, and it is best to mix the merits, and it doesn't matter if they can't mix them. In short, they would definitely not do this with blood like Yuqingzong.

At least the five cases can still be meaningful, but if the scope of this rail transit construction is further expanded, it will go further than the five cases. When it comes to other countries and other sects' spheres of influence, I'm afraid that other sects won't even be able to mean it. After all, on Ye Zan's side, it is impossible to seduce people with spiritual rice without restrictions, and if everyone really gets the same benefits, then the attraction of this benefit will be gone. What's more, in terms of spiritual rice, Yuqing Sect and Tianbao Sect have cooperation, and Yuqing Sect gives other sects preferential treatment here, isn't this a platform for dismantling partners!

In addition to the problem of lack of "human resources", in fact, Ye Zan will face another very important problem in the future. A group of primordial ancestors ran into the sphere of influence of other sects, even if they were just building for the country of secular mortals, I am afraid that those sects would not be happy. It's like sending an army to another country in a country, even if you really don't do anything, but the other party will not allow your army to enter just from the face of it.

Although the monastic sect is not a state, it has many similarities with the state. If it were the Yuqing Sect itself, it would not allow the cultivators of other sects to do things on their own territory with great fanfare. Therefore, it is completely conceivable that in the near future, for the construction of this rail transit, Ye Zan and Yuqingzong will have to spend considerable energy and pay a lot of price in negotiations with various sects.

On the other hand, however, this kind of problem that can be resolved through negotiation and a deal at a certain cost is not a problem. And the problem of "human resources" is not so easy to solve, after all, it is impossible for Ye Zan to mass-produce "parallel goods" Yuan Infant Ancestor like the mysterious sect. Don't say that Ye Zan doesn't have that ability, even if he really has that ability, he doesn't dare to really do that.

Bringing out this group of Primal Ancestors from the small world of the Immortal Palace has already made the sects quite wary of the Yuqing Sect. If it is really like the mysterious sect, and another batch of primordial ancestors come out, even if it is just a group of parallel goods, it will definitely make the Yuqing Sect the target of everyone, and it will not tolerate both the good and the devil.

It's like playing an online game, you quietly use a plug-in, you get cheap and steal fun, and then give others some benefits, and others won't say anything. But you have to spread it around, and you use plug-ins to seriously disrupt the balance of the game, others are still in the novice village, and you directly show off everywhere wearing god costumes at the full level, not to mention that the game dealer can't tolerate you, even other players will want to kill you.

Perhaps, this is one of the important reasons why the mysterious sect has always been hidden in the shadows even when it has such means.

If the Yuqing Sect dares to disrupt the balance like that, it will definitely attract the full force of the two realms of righteousness and demons, maybe they also want to get such a means, maybe it is simple envy, jealousy and hatred, in short, they will not let go of the Yuqing Sect. At that time, on the side of Yuqingzong, no matter how many benefits were given, it was impossible to let the other party's subordinates show mercy.

But what else can be done to solve the problem of human resource shortage other than this approach?

In the next few days, it seemed to be very peaceful, and Ye Zan almost stayed at home in Yuquan Peak. However, Ye Zan is not idle, in addition to studying the exercises suitable for Xiao Lori and Xiao Baxia's cultivation, he also has to consider ways to solve the "labor shortage" of rail transit construction, and at the same time, his own practice cannot be delayed.

In these days, the rail transit construction plan of Datang Kingdom, with the help of the magic tools of those construction machinery, has also been completed and opened to traffic. However, Cheng Liangqi and the others didn't care about returning to the sect, so they went straight to Daning in the north of the Tang Kingdom and began to build rail transit for Daning.

To be honest, after getting the news, Li Shude, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, felt like he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head because of the joy of the completion of the domestic rail transit construction, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After appreciating the benefits of this rail transit, Li Shude really hopes that this kind of artifact to enhance national strength can only be possessed by his own country. But there is no way, although he is the lord of a country, he can't control the head of Yuqingzong, and it is impossible for Yuqingzong to only do things for him in the Tang Kingdom.

Fortunately, Datang Kingdom has rail transit first, not to mention that it can get benefits earlier than other countries, but more importantly, this "name". Just like the previous Qianli Chuanyin, the Tang Kingdom has another name of "eating crabs first", at least Li Shude will be able to leave a strong mark in the history books in the future.

Besides, Cheng Liangqi and others left the Tang Kingdom and came to the territory of the Daning Kingdom, and immediately received a grand reception from the lord of the Daning Kingdom. Looking at his neighbors, he has begun to enjoy the convenience of rail transit, and the lord of Daning is really looking forward to Cheng Liangqi and others.

The benefits of rail transit, there is no need for Cheng Liangqi and others to say more, the border of Daning has already collected a lot of relevant information through the detailed work sent to Datang. Therefore, the understanding of rail transit, from the lord to the minister, is probably no worse than those in the Tang Kingdom.

Daning Kingdom is considered the territory of the Vientiane Sect, so at the banquet to entertain Cheng Liangqi and others, the Vientiane Sect also sent people over as promised. It's just that, just as Ye Zan expected, the Vientiane Sect only sent one Infant Ancestor to participate in the construction of this rail transit this time.

A patriarch is not so much to help the construction of rail transit, but to monitor Cheng Liangqi and others.

After the banquet, turning the day, Cheng Liangqi and others presented the rail transit plan formulated by Ye Zan for Daning to the lord of Daning. After all, the construction of this rail transit is not only in the wilderness, but also involves some land occupation problems, which requires the cooperation of Daning.

The lord of Daning Kingdom is surnamed Jia, named Jia Yue, took the plan and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed an expression of wanting to say something.

Cheng Liangqi arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any questions?"

"This ...... Immortal Chief, I do have a little doubt, I heard that the Tang Kingdom has built a total of ten rail transits, why did I arrive in my Daning Kingdom, but there are only eight?" After all, the other party is the ancestor of the Yuanying, even if he is dissatisfied with this, he doesn't dare to show too much.

"Oh, so that's it. Cheng Liangqi nodded with a smile, and then explained to the other party: "The Lord of the Kingdom doesn't know, how many rail transit lines are built here, which is the result of careful calculation by Elder Ye of my sect. The territory of Daning Kingdom, although it is comparable to that of the Tang Kingdom, is slightly narrow and long, so the length of this line that runs through the east and west is actually equivalent to the length of the two routes of the Tang Kingdom. ”

Datang Kingdom, because the national capital is almost located in the center, so the rail transit network is centered on the national capital, which looks like a "m" shape. On the one hand, the country is not in the center, and on the other hand, the shape of the territory is a bit narrow and long, so the rail transit network designed by Ye Zan is similar to a "Feng" shape.

In fact, no matter what shape it is, the standard of Ye Zan's design is to cover the territory of a country to a certain extent with the least number of lines. Therefore, it is not that this country has built ten rail transit lines, but other countries will also build ten. After all, Ye Zan has to take into account the problem of manpower shortage, which can be regarded as a way to alleviate this problem a little.

In the face of Cheng Liangqi's explanation, Jia Yue, the lord of Daning State, and those civil and military ministers could not say anything to refute. In fact, they are not stupid, although they have not really seen this rail transit, but they also know that this truth is actually similar to the cultivation of official roads. Whether it is rail transit or ordinary official roads, it is to benefit as many people as possible, so that the utilization rate of the road can be maximized, and it is impossible to build an official road for a remote village.

Moreover, more importantly, it is now Daning Guo who asks Yuqingzong to build rail transit, not Yuqingzong has to come. Although, from Ye Zan's side, it is really necessary to come, but these people in Daning Kingdom don't know. Therefore, even if there is a little dissatisfaction in his heart, from the lord of the country to the ministers of civil and military affairs, they dare not worry too much about Yuqingzong, lest Yuqingzong be angry and provoke.

Since they all had no objection to the plan, Cheng Liangqi and others did not delay time, and immediately started the construction of rail transit in Daning.

In addition, in the construction of rail transit, there is a difference between Daning and Datang, that is, Daning needs to pay some price. Of course, Ye Zan didn't plan how much benefit he would earn from Daning Kingdom and the subsequent countries, but he just needed some raw materials from various countries. After all, for Ye Zan , the main purpose of doing this is to earn a lot of merit.

This time, Daning paid for several copper and iron mines in the country. They don't need to mine, Ye Zan will let Ye Xiao, Cheng Liangqi and others use mining magic weapons to mine the ore. Then, Ye Zan uses these ores to refine metals to meet the needs of rail transit construction.

"There is a shortage of manpower!"

Yuqing Sect Yuquan Peak, Ye Zan got the information from Ye Xiao and knew that the Vientiane Sect had unexpectedly sent only one Yuan Infant Ancestor to participate in the construction of rail transit. Although it was expected, it still made him feel quite disappointed, the five sects were still like this, not to mention the other sects in the future.

At the end of the day, it's up to you!

Ye Zan is not completely out of the question, for example, the planning and design of Daning Kingdom has reduced the amount of work to a certain extent, which is equivalent to saving manpower. In addition, he was also going to study some more magic tools for engineering, preferably one that could allow Grandmaster Jindan to participate in the construction of the project.

Why did the previous projects, including the current projects in the Daning Kingdom, only be done by Cheng Liangqi and other Yuan Infant Ancestors? The reason is actually very simple, that is, the Yuan Infant Ancestors had enough mana to be able to drive magic weapons for a long time. After all, the magic weapon itself does not have much mana reserves, and almost completely depends on the user's mana to exert its power. Moreover, even if it is a magic weapon, there is not infinite mana that can be driven by others, and if all the mana in the magic weapon is exhausted, this magic weapon will be useless.

Let's just say that the few pieces refined by Ye Zan, the magic weapons specially used for engineering construction, if the shield machine is driven by Grandmaster Jindan, I am afraid that even a one-kilometer tunnel will not be able to penetrate. Therefore, such a big project as rail transit construction can only be done by the Yuanying Ancestor, and the little mana of Grandmaster Jindan can't hold it up at all.

If you really let the Jindan Grandmaster do these things, I'm afraid that what a Primordial Ancestor can accomplish, it will take a dozen Jindan Grandmasters to complete in turn. Moreover, in terms of construction efficiency, more than a dozen Jindan Grandmasters came in turns, and they must be far less than a Yuan Infant Ancestor.

Ye Zan once envied the mysterious forces' means of mass-producing parallel imports. After all, that parallel import is also a Yuan Infant Ancestor, and doing these simple jobs that only cost mana may not be worse than the real Yuan Infant Ancestor.

It's a pity that Ye Zan won't do that kind of means, and even if he can, he won't dare to do that. However, when he was exploring in Asgard, Ye Zan had packed up a few mysterious forces sent to calculate his primordial infants, and had already taken out their primordial infants to deal with them. Those primordial babies no longer have their souls, and they are completely the source of mana in the form of primordial infants. Moreover, due to some characteristics of the Yuan Infants, even if those Yuan Babies do not have a divine soul, they will absorb the aura as if they were cultivating, but the efficiency is much slower.

So, Ye Zan thought of an idea, since he didn't know the means of the mysterious forces, he didn't dare to mass-produce any primordial infants like the mysterious forces, but what if he combined those few primordial infants with construction machinery?
