Ren Baqian carefully flipped through the several ancient scrolls placed on the desk.

They are all booklets made of animal skins, and it is impossible to tell what kind of animal skins they are, and how many years have passed without the slightest damage.

At a glance, Ren Baqian was sure that these booklets were from an era that was not recorded.

The two "Earth Dragon Chronicles" are divided into upper and lower volumes, and the records of some rare beasts, herbs, and ores are mainly on them.

Very few of these records are the same as those of today's extant herbal ores, and most of them are extremely rare and precious.

A copy of "Water Dragon Chronicles" is similar to the Earth Dragon Chronicles, but the former is on land, and the latter is in the water.

The last book is "Borrowing Water to Wash Eyes", which seems to be a method for cultivating the eyes, and several different kinds of water required are recorded in the "Water Dragon Chronicles".

The name is simple, but the effect is not small.

It is said that after practice, the eyesight can reach thousands of miles, which can be called powerful.

For the people of this world, clairvoyance, proper clairvoyance, is quite a powerful cultivation method.

However, it is hoped that the telescope is there, and this method is of little significance.

What is really important are the two "Earth Dragon Chronicles" and "Water Dragon Chronicles", which record not only murderers and herbs and ores from the outside world, but also a small part of the water and mountain maps, which are of great significance for sending people to the outside world to find a hiding place to cultivate later.

The previous phone was only 200,000 taels of silver, but the value of these three books is difficult to measure in money.

"Where did you find the grave, what is the situation inside, what else is there?" asked Ren Baqian with a straight face.

"Under the ancestral grave of a rich family, in a simple stone chamber, there is only one skeleton except for these ancient scrolls. And I also let the bones be buried. After Qinglian finished speaking, she smiled and said, "I knew that His Highness would be interested!"

"You know?" asked Ren Baqian rhetorically.

"A sum of money Ma Hongyu, the sun and moon in the palm of the hand, the Zhengtian Sect Lin Dong, the long and short guns Gao Yi, these famous masters, they have been very active recently!" Qinglian pursed her lips.

Ren Baqian nodded slightly, the rebel army is now more powerful than the Great Xia Imperial Court, and the movements of these masters will inevitably reach their ears.

"Thank you. If there is the same thing in the future...... "Ren Baqian wanted to say that as long as I could get it, I could use it to exchange it, but when the words came to my mouth, I felt that this was too much.

"Got it! These things don't help us much, not to mention that I'm also curious about some things, if Your Highness moves quickly, maybe I can see it in my lifetime. ”

When Qinglian said this, her expression finally changed a little. Some expectations, some gloom.

Even an ordinary person can become a master of the sword after becoming a sword master.

But the price is too heavy.

He can't cultivate, and his lifespan is shorter than that of ordinary people.

The lifespan of a sword master is usually only sixty or seventy years old, and if the number of hands is small and there are resources to support it, he may be able to live to eighty or ninety years old, which is the limit.

Qinglian was twenty-seven or eighteen at this time, and if nothing else, her lifespan would only be forty or fifty years.

That's why she said that if Ren Baqian moved fast, she might still be able to see it.

With her intelligence, she can get a lot of news from "Water Dragon Chronicles" and "Earth Dragon Chronicles", and combined with the movements of Ma Hongyu and others, even if she can't guess the whole picture, she can guess half of it.

......

With the advent of the telephone, a storm swept through the Izumo region, and it became more and more intense.

The role of the telephone, according to this era, is comparable to an artifact.

However, compared to the legends in those anecdotes, the telephone is accessible to many people.

Whether it is a family, a chamber of commerce, or various departments in every city, and even many wealthy families have begun to plan whether to install a phone at home.

Although there is no demand for it for the time being.

Most of the people in this era are still in their own acres and three-points of land, and ordinary people can't even walk out within a radius of 100 miles.

But for a few dozen taels of silver, you can show off and earn face back, which is a very cost-effective deal.

In this way, the craze for phone calls has never subsided.

Such a boom has also played a great role in the promotion of telephone.

In the future, even if there is no need to do any more publicity, the number of telephone users will grow steadily.

And while the phone craze is still continuing, another new product appears in front of everyone.

A type of cargo truck.

A truck that looks like the Liberation 141 but has the same performance as a standard World War II truck.

The weight is 4,000 pounds, and the load is 6,000 pounds, which is slightly lower than that of a tractor.

And the requirements for the road are much higher than for tractors.

Tractors almost except for going up and down the mountain to the sea, most of the places have excellent passability, which is beyond the reach of trucks.

This is also the reason why Ren Baqian was the first to take out the tractor, and the applicability is much better than that of the truck.

The price is high, the load is low, and the road requirements are high.

Despite all these flaws, one advantage hides all the disadvantages.

Velocity.

The speed is twice that of a tractor, and it can reach 240 miles per hour, which is equivalent to 60 kilometers per hour.

From Arashijo to Pingdu, it takes 10 to 15 days with an ox cart, three days with a tractor, and a day and a half with a truck!

This alone has attracted the attention of many Izumo merchants.

And on the ride, this new product called a truck is also much more comfortable than a tractor.

At least there's a cab that shelters from the wind and rain, and it's more stable, unlike the bumps of a tractor that make you want to vomit.

As soon as the truck was launched, two thousand units were booked.

Many people are even ready to use it as a means of transportation for daily travel.

The only thing that restricts the spread of such trucks is the roads.

However, along with the truck, there was also the news that more than a million laborers were to be conscripted in Izumo to build Izumo's road.

With the daily caravans flowing on the road from Arashijo to Izumo, a large number of materials were transported to the two places, Arashijo became more and more prosperous, prices fell a lot compared to before, and the proportion of merchant tax revenue in the treasury revenue became higher and higher.

Ren Baqian always has another sentence on his lips: "Have more children and plant fewer trees!"

Moreover, with the return of the salt field iron ore to the imperial court and the income of the Department of Commerce, the income of the national treasury has increased several times compared to before, and the batch of gold and silver looted from Izumo back then is still in the national treasury.

Far from decreasing, there is a tendency to increase.

Therefore, this time the conscription of labor to build the road did not meet any resistance in the court.

It took only three days from the time it was proposed to the time it was agreed, and the decree was handed down and sent to the castles of Izumo.

"City order, prepare quickly, a government order has been delivered. "The city commander of Three Rivers City was resting in the mansion, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly dressed and ran out.

When I arrived at the Chengling Mansion, I saw three ancient men, all dressed as sergeants.

"In Xialong Yuewu, it is the city order of the city, but the three of them sent the government order?"

"You're the city order, take it!" one of the big men took out a paper roll from his bag and stuffed it directly into Long Yuewu's hand.

"The decree has arrived, and we are leaving!" The three of them did not wait for him to reply, as if they had not considered that he would refuse to accept the decree, and sent the paper roll and left.

"If you don't have anything important, why don't you rest in this city for a while?" Long Yuewu hurriedly said.

"There's no time to spare!!," The three big men didn't give him a good look at all, and turned around and left.

Long Yuewu's heart moved, and he had to go to other cities, and he didn't know what was going on this time.

"These barbarians are very unreasonable. A young scribe walked out from behind the door and said.

"The word brute, don't let me hear it again. Long Yuewu said with some displeasure.

"It's a subordinate who has lost his word. The scribe's face changed slightly, and he bowed his head.

And if they do, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Long Yuewu said again. Whether it was a decree or something else, the news came without any delay.

Unlike Izumo before, if there is an envoy of the imperial court, not to mention extravagant hospitality, but also to give a gift.

I used to drive ducks to the shelves as this city order, just to ensure that the people of this side of the city could survive.

As for what this city order is like, I don't dare to think about it at all.

Unexpectedly, in the past few years, his city order has been firmly seated.

And the Gu clan hardly gave him any trouble, and the black smoke miasma that had not yet come out of the cloud made him worry a lot.

Therefore, he really likes this style of the ancient people.

Long Yuewu's mind turned, he opened the paper scroll and glanced at it, his face changed slightly.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"This time, the imperial court will recruit a million laborers to build official roads!"

"A million servitude?" the scribe was also a little moved.

"Yes, this city needs 28,000 laborers!" Long Yuewu said in a deep voice.

The two were surprised not by this number, but by the fact that it was hard labor, not forced labor.

You must know that there is no salary for conscription, and in previous years, it was conscription to build roads and cities.

But labor is to be paid.

"One tael of silver per person per month!" Long Yuewu said again.

Not less, but more. This is already the normal income of ordinary people.

Some of the worse ones don't even have this income.

You must know that this is labor, and each city must have enough people, and there is a little compulsion, even if the salary of 800 wen is a lot.

The salary of one or two silver, and the food, this treatment is simply generous.

So the two were surprised.

Long Yuewu had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he took office, he was prepared to be poked in the back.

As a result, after the ancient clan laid down Izumo, not only did they not exploit it, but they have been using Huairou methods.

Since it is Huairou, he doesn't have to say anything, do more, just do things according to the will of the court.

In just a few years, he has gained some fame.

Thinking about Emperor Izumo, who favored the mediocre prime minister at the beginning, and the prime minister who was still excluding dissidents from the great enemy, Long Yuewu also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Long Yuewu rolled up the paper scroll and held it in his hand, and instructed the scribe, "Go and call Changshi and Sima." ”
