county government,

"Establish a sect?"

Putting down the brush in his hand, young Magistrate Li thought for a while before speaking with uncertainty.

"Brother Li Yu, did you come here just to entertain me?"

"Do you want me to punch you three times?"

Li Yu looked up to the sky helplessly, because he needed help from the county magistrate for many things in the future, so he was not allowed to come here and enjoy the other person's "idiotic" look.

"But the court..."

Magistrate Li spoke hesitantly. He has not been idle during this period: he has divided and attracted, coerced and lured, and has initially gained control of these hundreds of people. Especially after seeing that Shan Zhu was obsessed with Du Sanniang, he promised Du Sanniang and

The status of her tribe in Leyuan County stabilized Shanzhu, an unstable factor.

"I know that if you want to establish a sect, you need first-class strength, as well as accumulated contributions to obtain the 'Sect Order'."

Li Yu opened his mouth and told the reason for the other party's hesitation.

Zhou Dynasty certainly welcomes warriors and monks to join the imperial court. But if you want to establish a sect, it will be very difficult.

Those who dare to establish a sect are usually powerful people. Even the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot manipulate them at will; and if such a person gathers a group of disciples, he will definitely become a powerful force. In the long run, he will probably only

Knowing the teacher and having no regard for kingship, it has evolved into a 'state within a state'.

At the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, many sects just listened to the instructions but not the propaganda, and they had a leisurely attitude of "sitting back and watching the rise and fall of the dynasty, laughing and talking about the various developments in the world."

Even in the troubled times of the 'Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms', when people had stupid brains, few people in power would provoke these powerful sects. Without him, it's not worth it.

It's a pity that the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born in a young age and rose up in the ranks. He didn't accept this trick at all. He could either serve as a guardian of peace, or get out of the Great Zhou Dynasty and go to the wild land! The treasures of heaven, materials, and cultivation resources cannot be used to raise a group of people.

The aloof 'god'.

Naturally, the monks and sects were not happy, and the result was that Taizu, who possessed the founding dragon spirit, personally led his troops and killed them to death. Those who disobeyed would die!

Even the Shinto of Mountain Gods and Lands, which flourished in the Tang Dynasty, was destroyed and turned into the "City God" system that now protects the common people.

All I can say is that the founding kings were very fierce!

"Brother Li Yu, you need to think twice about this matter."

County Magistrate Li seemed hesitant to speak. He really wanted the 'Taoist Priest Qingxu' who had just left to come back and show Li Yu. He didn't know if those ordinary people had any problems, but this brother Li Yu obviously did something wrong.

The tendency to 'daydream'.

"Listen to me first,"

Waving his hand to interrupt the county magistrate's dissuasion, Li Yu pointed outside the hall.

"You know that I asked 'Taoist Priest Qingxu' to treat the entire county."

"I naturally know that,"

Since they were talking about official business, young Magistrate Li immediately straightened his clothes and became serious.

"In addition, in the previous battle in Baozhou, the weapons were damaged and the ammunition was exhausted. To put it simply, I have no money now."

No matter whether Magistrate Li could understand the word "ammunition", Li Yu spread his hands: It is refreshing to shoot zombies with incendiary bombs, but in this world, aluminum is a precious metal that monks only occasionally make, and with all kinds of consumption, then

It is the true saying of 'a cannon fires, and a thousand taels of gold'.

"This... I am also..."

After hearing Li Yu's words, the county magistrate didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Besides, the 'craftsman making way' consumes a lot of money, so I need most of the people in Leyuan County to be workers... ahem, apprentices to help me create goods for sale."

"Like those needles?"

County Magistrate Li slowly came to his senses and realized that Mr. Li Yu did not really want to 'establish a sect', but needed a large number of apprentices to help him. He was also... and the 'workshop' that was rumored to be beginning to flourish in Jiangnan East Road.

similar.

"But what about farming?"

"Huh? We're all industrialized...cough, the problem with food is that it's brought in from outside."

Since Li Yu dared to come to the county magistrate for discussion, he naturally made full preparations and considered all aspects.

"We have good weather during the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Guannei, Hedong, Shannanxi and other roads have good harvests every year, and the price of grain has dropped to the price of one bucket or five cents. Buy grain directly from there, instead of digging mountains in this poor and remote country?

"

This is all information that Li Yu obtained from the Gao family, a wealthy businessman in Qianzhou City, before he returned.

"Brother Li Yu, this is a bad statement. The price of grain is indeed as cheap as water outside, but when it is transported to the middle road of Guizhou, it is as expensive as oil. It's not appropriate -"

"I'll take care of the transportation."

With such a small population in Leyuan County, a single trip by Flying Squirrel can sustain them for half a year. In terms of flight storage capacity, the blond loli can carry as much weight as a heavy transport aircraft alone.

Of course, when the number of workers increases, flying squirrels alone will definitely not be able to do it, so Li Yu simply plans to point out the 'airship' directly. The technology is not enough, so he can use magic to make up. Get a few 'fire ban talismans' and stick them on, and you can avoid it.

The biggest flaw of the airship is its spontaneous combustion and explosion.

"Then, how many people does Brother Li Yu need?"

Facing Magistrate Li's inquiry, Li Yu waved his hand domineeringly.

“The more the merrier!”

···Are you Han Xin?

————

Although the Central Guizhou Road is full of mountains and the traffic can make people desperate, it is very rich in resources: not to mention various trees and medicinal materials, there is also no shortage of coal, ore, etc. Since Li Yu is planning to engage in 'industrialization',

It would be best for the entire Leyuan County to stop farming and work for him as workers... no, apprentices.

"Mr. Li Yu, although this is the Western Continent isolated by the 'fog',"

"But if you really plan to develop the steam industry, you will definitely attract the attention of the 'God of Steam and Machinery'. Unless you believe in Him, it will be difficult to predict the other party's attitude."

When Li Yu returned to the blacksmith shop, Winnie, who was guarding the pot camel machine, came up to him and raised her concerns.

"I don't know what the 'God of Steam and Machinery' is!"

He shook his head subconsciously, but since this guy is called a god, he should be somewhat capable, so Li Yu patiently explained to Winnie:

"The steam engine is only used as primary power. I have already imagined the follow-up advanced power. If the plan goes well, it can even change this world with extraordinary power. So I have no conflict with the 'God of Steam and Machinery', so naturally I don't need to

Pay attention to him."

The 'pot camel machine' made by Li Yu has the advantages of not being picky about food, easy operation, installation and maintenance, reliable operation, simple manufacturing, and low cost. Of course, it also has a disadvantage, that is, the power is only 15 horsepower.

The limit of a normal steam engine is 100 horsepower, which is nothing in this extraordinary world: for example, the pot camel machine made by Li Yu, he can easily stop the rotating flywheel with his bare hands!

"No, Mr. Li Yu, this is more dangerous."

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Winnie's face became more serious.

"If you really have the ability to create a power source that far exceeds that of a steam engine, it is equivalent to being qualified to challenge the 'God of Steam and Machinery', and He will not let you go. If it weren't for the fact that this is the Western Continent, now

Has anyone with the 'Machine Heart' come to your door?"

···

"Isn't this God too stingy? He still needs to take care of this?"

Li Yu felt bad all over, but Winnie nodded as a matter of course.

"Mr. Li Yu, maybe you don't know. But there is a saying in the circle of extraordinary people, 'When you choose your own path, you also choose your enemies and allies.'"

???

"Well, that means that if I continue on the 'Takuma Path', sooner or later I will have a conflict with the 'God of Steam and Machinery'?"

Li Yu, who was originally just planning to engage in production and make money, was speechless. What kind of world-breaking thing is this? There are so many restrictions.

However, using gods as opponents?

"So what if that's the case, if he blocks my way, I'll have to do something about it later!"

"And it's too far away to say this now. According to the magic potion sequence, I am just a sequence 7 transcendent. How can I enter the eye of the gods?"

After listening to Li Yu's words, Winnie thought about it and had to admit that this was indeed the case.

It stands to reason that all extraordinary beings will have a hostile relationship with the 'gods' at the end of this path. But in fact, how many people can really reach the level of 'angels' and challenge the gods?

Moreover, this is the Western Continent, and extraordinary people rely on "exercise" to become stronger. It is difficult to say whether the rules from "home" apply here.

"Winnie, help me move the 'metal drawing machine' out."

"Okay, Mr. Li Yu."

Having made up her mind, Winnie stopped thinking about future problems and began to assemble the 'metal drawing workshop' according to Li Yu's instructions.

From now on, the idyllic Leyuan County will be broken by the sound of steam, the clang, clang, clang of flywheels, and the constant rising and falling of hammers. The people here will also usher in earth-shaking changes.
