Chapter 36: Grain
Chapter 36 Grain
Of course, Ye Wen won't ask Zheng Ying to tinker with any battleships, not to mention how troublesome it is to manufacture, if it is really built, its effect may be limited, unless Tianji mén can increase the power of the battleship's naval guns by n grades - but in that case, I am afraid that what needs to be considered is whether the world can withstand it.
In short, Zheng Ying of the Shushan faction has a strong hands-on ability, and he knows how to make most of the electrical appliances and machinery on the earth, if Tianji Mén is really willing to cooperate with the Shushan faction to transform some of these things, and then become something that the immortals can use and are willing to use, then the Shushan faction finally has a stable source of property.
For now, the things that are more suitable for immortals are weapons and means of transportation, especially for many people, young monks below the earth immortal level have a lot of unchanged because they can't fly long distances, and if they are driving, they will be very happy to think about it.
After all, no matter how strong these people's bodies are, no one will be willing to walk and walk all the time, and with easier and more convenient tools, then no one wants to use that troublesome way.
Laziness is the nature of people, and although the monks have gradually departed from the category of people, they are still cultivated by people after all.
Of course, there are many problems that need to be solved, such as the engine and energy problems, and as for the metals, those who can refine the magic weapon of the strong and horizontal, can't there be a substitute for the aluminum alloy plate?
It's really not good, this Cui Jun can still be pulled out and used for it, at least this old man is more familiar with these things, and he has a high status in his own faction, so he can use the power of the heavenly machine.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Wen gradually fell asleep, and when he got up the next day, Cui Jun had already arranged for four disciples, and several of them even packed their packages, as long as Ye Wen came together, they would set off.
"Why is Senior Cui in such a hurry?"
Cui Jun looked excited: "Ye Zhangmén, you don't know, since I went to the earth a few decades ago, I have been very interested in those mechanisms and equipment made by mortals, but unfortunately I couldn't stay in the world for too long at that time, and I didn't get too many things, so the idea in my heart has never been realized." ”
"Now it's providence to let me meet Ye Zhangmén!"
Cui Jun had already started the idea of those things, but he didn't understand the structure, although he also brought some things back, but it was always the most inefficient way to explore alone, so he has not been able to turn his ideas into real things.
Now that there is Ye Wen, a person who knows how to do (?), I believe that many of his ideas can be realized.
"By the way, when I saw that there is something called TV on the earth, which can allow people thousands of miles away to see pictures and hear sounds, I thought that this thing can be used to talk to people thousands of miles away, both of them are sitting at home, and they don't even need mana, they can chat and relieve boredom, how good it is, but many of them don't understand, so I always ......"
Ye Wen was surprised, and then said: "This kind of thing already exists on the earth, it's called a telephone!"
"Telephone? That thing seems to only be able to talk, right? And it has to be connected to a line, which is very troublesome......"
As soon as Cui Jun said this, Ye Wen understood that when the old man went, there was no mobile phone or anything like that, and there was no video phone, so Ye Wen had to roughly explain the development trajectory of the phone later, and Cui Jun was excited when he listened.
"So, if we can solve the signal problem, we can popularize the phone to the fairy world?"
Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, he had the idea of making a lot of things, but he really hadn't thought about this call, but if you think about it carefully, this thing is the biggest bewitching power for immortals, right?
"This ...... When I returned to Shushan, I asked Zheng Ying to have a good chat with my seniors, and my disciple knew more about these electronic devices!"
Cui Jun nodded: "Very good!" Then he insisted on urging Ye Wen to set off, and even his own disciples didn't bother to introduce him, dragging Ye Wen directly away from Tianji and heading straight to the west.
These disciples led by Cui Jun are all disciples who can cross the realm of earth immortals, although they can fly, but the speed is not very fast, Cui Jun is very anxious at this time, how can he endure such a slow speed? So he was ruthless, and directly urged the mana, and the big gourd that sat down became several times larger, and a group of people sat on the gourd, and then used a fairly fast speed to go to Shu Mountain.
Ye Wen stood on the gourd and took a look, and after touching it in his heart, he felt that this speed was not necessarily much faster than the plane, but the plane was much more comfortable than this thing.
"Do you want to study the airplane yourself?"
Traveling along the way, Ye Wen didn't know how many thoughts he had turned in his heart, anyway, now in his opinion, there is no shortage of 'funds' needed for the future development of the Shushan faction, at least these luàn messy things are enough to ensure the future income of the Shushan faction.
However, after returning to Shushan, Ye Wen didn't have the heart to continue to pay attention to these things except for calling Zheng Ying over and then throwing them to Cui Jun, because there were other more urgent things for him to solve.
This matter is to quickly raise the strength of the disciples of the Shushan Sect to above the Earth Immortals, otherwise Ye Wen's headache now is not a headache of things like pills and magic weapons, but how to solve the food problem of these hundreds of people.
There are now hundreds of people on Shu Mountain, and only a few people can open the valley, including Li Xuan, who has to eat normally for three meals a day.
In addition, Shushan is now floating in the air, and there are only a few people who can go down the mountain, and the people who practice martial arts have a big appetite, if it weren't for the fact that Shushan itself carried a lot of stored grain when it soared, and the jī ducks, pigs and sheep in captivity on the mountain were not missing, plus the vegetable garden on Shu Mountain has been expanded several times, and it is not small at this time, and it can basically meet the living needs of the disciples in the sect.
"But if we continue like this, it won't be long before we have no food in the mountains, and hundreds of people will be hungry?"
After Li Xiaoyao led Ye Wen around the grain depot, vegetable garden and livestock pen of the Shushan faction, he told Ye Wen about the current situation of the Shushan faction.
"These days, Shi Niang, Shi Uncle, and those of us who can skip meals have all run out of food, but even this is only a slight delay in the speed of consumption, after all, there are too many disciples on the mountain, if this continues, I'm afraid that white bear will be the next object to be used as food!"
When he said this, Li Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly glanced to the side, and there was a hint of murderous aura in his eyes, but this murderous aura seemed to reveal: "Finally, there are bear's paws again!"
I don't know if it happened or how, the white bear who came to the fairy world with Ye Wen was full of excitement, and then shook his head and waved his hand at Ye Wen, and then made a very funny action - he tiǎn his big bear paw, and then immediately made a nausea yù vomiting action, as if he had eaten something particularly unpalatable.
“......”
Ye Wenxin said that this bear is becoming more and more clear, and then said to Li Xiaoyao: "Is there a solution?"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head: "There is nothing to do for the time being!"
Ye Wen was aggrieved for a while after hearing this, and said secretly: "The living are about to be suffocated to death by Niào, and I don't know how Heavenly Court and other mén factions solve the food problem! At least I haven't seen these mén factions have a headache over the food problem." ”
He didn't know that among those mén factions, the big ones naturally had their own means to deal with such problems, and the small mén families had only two or three kittens, and they could live even if they only hunted, so they naturally didn't have to worry about food.
Li Xiaoyao saw that the master had a headache, so he said, "Why don't you take some things and sell them in the town, and exchange them for some money to buy some food?"
Zhou Zhiruo and the others were also beside them at this time, and they also felt reliable when they heard Li Xiaoyao's suggestion, at least for now, the Shushan faction could only rely on purchasing food to solve the problem of eating.
It is said that since Ye Wen gradually built the Shushan faction, the industry of the Shushan faction has become a complete blood supply system, and the villages at the foot of the Shushan faction are all tenant farmers of the Shushan faction, they have hardly worried about food in the decades since Ye Wen left, and even in the harvest year, the grain of the Shushan faction is too much to eat, and it has to be transported to other places to be sold.
Of course, there were a few years when Zhou Zhiruo instructed to donate grain to the imperial court, which could be regarded as indirectly helping Wei Hong, because at that time, the imperial court used troops everywhere, and Wei Hong had always refused to levy more taxes, so the food of the imperial court was quite tight at that time.
Although the food of the Shushan faction can't solve too big a problem, it can at least stabilize the battle situation in Pingzhou, so that he can breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Hong is quite grateful, since the Shushan faction really treats him as his own family to help, he naturally will not treat the Shushan faction badly, just because of this reason, now he has been given the opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm.
At this time, Ye Wen had a headache, Wei Hong bowed down and said, "Master, since Heavenly Court intends to let our Shushan faction sit in the Western Frontier, then it will be a little expressive, right? Even if it can't be supported on the surface, this grain shouldn't be a trouble for them!"
Ye Wen nodded, this is also a method, but he himself doesn't like this. Always asked Yang Jian to support him, the Shushan faction almost became a pawn in the hands of others, what he hoped for was a mutually beneficial way of cooperation, not this kind of survival under the control of others.
Wei Hong came to Ye Wen's side and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master, those who seek great things must endure for a while, as long as our Shushan passes this difficulty, there will naturally be a time for us to rise in the future!"
"Save for the teacher!"
Ye Wen nodded, and agreed to this suggestion, as for who went to Yang Jian to ask for food, Ye Wen decided to go out in person, and at the same time let Guan Luyan and Guan Shuying accompany him, after all, he happened to go to Guan Yu to bring the person who knew the formation layout to Shushan, and the two things happened to be done together.
Li Xiaoyao originally wanted to go down the mountain to do the work of buying food, but Ye Wen finally invited someone to teach alchemy and making tools, Li Xiaoyao, as the deputy manager of the Dan Yào Pavilion, naturally couldn't leave casually, Ye Wen sent him to learn how to make alchemy.
As for the purchase of grain, Ye Wen arranged for Xu Xian to go, considering that this is a border place in the west, and there are frequent frictions with the west, so Chris and Tommy and others were not sent out, and they were honestly left in the mountains to practice.
Immediately followed by Ye Wen took Guan Luyan and Guan Shuying away from Shushan and flew north, the place where Guan Yu was stationed was just north of Shushan, the distance was not far, just rushed into the sky, and it didn't take long to see it.
Compared to the fortress where Yang Jian was stationed, it seemed to be smaller here, but the city wall was higher and looked stronger, although there were not many people standing guard on it, but Ye Wen could vaguely feel that the defense here was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Don't look at the fact that there are not many soldiers and horses to defend, but if there is an attack, it can immediately burst out with very terrifying combat power - most of the combat power is hidden in the shadows, and whoever does not see the situation and attacks in vain is simply asking for trouble.
Because they had already been instructed by Guan Yu, Ye Wen and the others went all the way unimpeded, and followed a soldier who led the way to the very center of the fortress, which is the command post of the fortress here, a very spacious hall.
"General Guan!"
"Ye Palm mén!"
There is no one else in the hall, except for the Guan family, only Ye Wen, and because of such a relationship between the two, they are not strictly speaking.
Guan Yu heard that Ye Wen was coming, and specially arranged a banquet, and after a few words of greeting, the two went directly to the seat to drink, and chatted with them.
As for the people arranged by Yang Jian, neither of them mentioned this matter, because this matter is like that, Ye Wen will directly lead people when he leaves, and Guan Yu will not have any obstruction, this matter is different from his refusal to return the four counties of Jingzhou back then, there is no need to force a monk to stay in formation.
What's more, the Shushan faction is now also its own family, and he also has descendants in the Shushan faction, Guan Yu still has to take care of one or two.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Guan Yu then asked about Guan Luyan's situation, and frowned after knowing that Guan Luyan was only Ye Wen's registered disciple, but when he heard that Guan Luyan was dozens of years old before he was able to worship Ye Wen, his brows loosened again.
At the same time, Ye Wen also talked about the situation in the Earth Cultivation Realm, and the little dissatisfaction in Guan Yu's heart disappeared completely, but he was very satisfied with Guan Luyan.
"In such an environment on the earth, you can still step into this path at the age of dozens of years and come to the immortal realm, but it really does not disgrace our Guan family's prestige! It's just that your name ......"
In the Han Dynasty, a single name was precious, and Guan Luyan's name was two words, which made Guan Yu quite unhappy, even if he had long known that the custom of a single name was long gone, but his heart was somewhat of a pimple. I had the intention to change the name of my descendant, but I felt that it was a bit unreliable to do so, so I stopped thinking about it and talked about something else.
"By the way, General Guan has been coming to Heaven for a long time, and he doesn't know what he can know about the various immortal factions in the Immortal Realm?" Ye Wen thought of the troubles faced by his mén faction, and he really wanted to know how those mén factions in the immortal realm solved the food problem.
The methods used by the Mén faction in the Kyushu Ding World and on the earth now don't know whether they are suitable for this world or not, if it is feasible, it can save him a lot of worry.
In the world of Kyushu Ding, the Shushan faction is closely connected with the world, and even became a local big landlord, this method he feels is not very reliable at present, and the mén faction in the fairy world does not seem to have much contact with the laity.
However, the methods of the various mén factions on the earth can be referred to, that is, to set up a secular mén sect under the Shushan faction, and then the Shushan faction itself is hidden in the dark, and all affairs, including disciples, are supplied and handled by the mén faction in this world, this method is very in line with the situation of this fairy world, the trouble is that Ye Wen does not know what the situation of the mén faction is in this world, if there is no such existence at all, what should he do? Is it possible to simply support a force to be a prince in the world?
"Well, that's a way!"
Guan Yu didn't know that Ye Wen was thinking about the possibility of dominating the world, and heard Guan Luyan explain, saying that because the Shushan faction had just come to the fairy world, it was completely unclear about the situation, and now it was facing a crisis of insufficient food, so he wanted to ask other factions how to deal with this problem, so he could learn more.
"Food!" Guan Yu stroked his long hair, his eyes narrowed: "In fact, in the fairy world, the land is fertile, and the population is not particularly large, so this grain has never been a problem. ”
"But where your faction is located, far away from people, it's a bit troublesome, it seems that you can only grow it yourself in the faction!" Guan Yu thought about it, and there was no good way: "But I heard that the grain and grass needed by the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Court are all cultivated with the help of the immortal family's spells, and I think there are spells that can solve the food problem, but Guan doesn't know it!"
Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the immortal family, and the immortal family's methods were much more wonderful than the ones he had encountered at the beginning, and the methods were also much more complicated, and the spells were definitely not just used for fighting!
This fairy world has existed for I don't know how many years, and I don't know how many old monsters have lived for thousands of years, no one can guarantee whether these guys will come up with some strange spells when they are bored, even if there is really a magic that can make food ripen in a day, it will definitely not be a strange thing.
"Sheben is the end!"
Ye Wen smiled bitterly: "I only thought about those ordinary methods, but I forgot that there is still this stubble, but I don't know who knows this kind of spell, wait until I go back and ask that Cui Jun!"
Bidding farewell to Guan Yu, and taking the formation 'master' of the Shushan faction assigned to him by Yang Jian in advance, Ye Wen went straight back to Shushan. Guan Luyan and Guan Shuying did not come back, they were left behind by Guan Yu, saying that they would teach and teach in person, and let them go back to Shushan in a few days, so there were three people when they went, and there were only two people when they came back.
After returning to Shushan, he arranged the person's residence, Ye Wen went straight to find Cui Jun and asked about the spell of that land, but Cui Jun made Ye Wen stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
"What about mén spells, I'll do it!"
