When the sun rose again, the fleet had arrived at Dongning Island. This time, everyone could have breakfast directly on the island, and even rest for an hour before setting off for their respective towns.
Jiang Hua also followed the crowd and headed to a certain town. This time Jiang Hua plans to stay in person for two days and conduct an on-site inspection of the achievements of Dongning Island in the past few months. Although I have seen a lot in the crystal projection, what I saw and what I actually encountered are always two different things!
Of course, Feng Yi did not forget to take out the projection crystal in time to record this scene.
"The method of earthly courtyard building!"
Jiang Hua felt a little strange when he heard a certain alchemist shouting loudly and then slapping his hands on the ground. A scene of a courtyard appeared on the ground.
"Alchemists have limited mana, so they are more complicated when casting spells. In many cases, shouting it out directly helps to improve concentration. This is the oral secret among the three secrets. Combined with the visualization in the mind and the fingerprints on the hands, it can be done at most An increase of 60% from the original basis is already remarkable, so the improved Taoism gradually spread."
Jiang Hua nodded to express his understanding.
As for alchemists, their magic power is thin, and their control over magic power is far inferior to that of warlocks. It is normal for them to do a great dance before casting a spell, such as singing and dancing. Nowadays, it is just a shout, and there is no need to prepare casting materials, talismans, peach wood swords, etc. It has been a great improvement compared to the past.
"Nowadays, many Taoist methods have been improved." At this point, Qu Wu also glanced at Jiang Ju and Qi Xin on the side, and then looked at Jiang Hua, as if asking: Is it appropriate for them to know this information? ?
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "There's nothing I can't say."
At least for now, these can be said and can be known to the world.
And, in other words, both Kong Sheng and Mo Sheng gave away so much knowledge that could not be bought outside. The value of this knowledge itself is many times greater than that in Yancheng today.
They are so sincere. At this time, they just want to see how Yancheng is developing and how the concept of Taoism entering life is being implemented. Jiang Hua will naturally not stop them.
And it can’t be stopped!
If you stop someone from giving you face and come to visit in a serious manner, what can you do if they don't give you face and come quietly to observe next time?
Even with the cultivation level of Mo Sheng and Kong Sheng, if you sit at home and count with your fingers, you can basically calculate 99% of the secrets of Yancheng today. There is no way to stop them. In this case, then invite them to come and see them openly. one look. Anyway, most of the things on Dongning Island are nothing to keep secret.
As for aristocratic studies, Jiang Hua is really not afraid!
Everything in Yancheng today is a change in the overall system, not a simple technological lead.
The plagiarism of the great nobles is like a certain Qing Dynasty in the past history that fell behind the times and learned skills from the barbarians in order to control the barbarians. Simply learning other people's techniques is not enough. Deeper system changes are He didn't learn at all and pretended to learn for decades. As a result, he couldn't even defeat the small country of Zuo'er and paid hundreds of millions of taels of silver in compensation...
Even if the great nobles knew about the system changes in Yancheng, could they learn from it?
Do they have enough people to build so many junior and intermediate academic palaces?
Are they willing to share everything in their territory with Taoists?
Are they willing to rule the world with Taoists?
If these fundamental problems are not solved, no matter how many nobles imitate Jiang Hua, they will not be afraid.
But can these fundamental problems be solved?
If it is solved, will the great nobles still be great nobles?
Therefore, Jiang Hua has a very open mind. If you plagiarize, just plagiarize. I will show it to you openly, but do you dare to plagiarize? Dare you?
If you don’t dare to copy a few technologies, just copy them slowly in the future. There will only be more and more new technologies in Yancheng in the future, and the effects of plagiarism will only become less and less ideal.
However, Jiang Hua only thinks about these things in his heart and will not say them out at all. Just like he said to Qi Xin before: Actions are always more effective than words.
"Since the Lord established the concept of Taoism entering life, many alchemists, warlocks and even Taoist priests have been practicing this concept seriously."
"In the beginning, it was the immigration ships we took. The quality of the ship itself was not up to standard, the water leakage was serious, the design was also faulty, and the manufacturing was very crude. Without a warlock who understood the true meaning of water, such a ship would probably It will capsize and sink in a few hours.”
"At the beginning, this kind of ship was a bit different. Compared with traditional ships, there were flaws everywhere. The quality was not good, the materials were not good, nothing was good."
"But later, some warlocks made suggestions: Since making traditional ships is too time-consuming and a waste of manpower and material resources, let's just make some ships specially suitable for water-bending warlocks! This ship does not need to consider the wind speed or the direction of the water flow. You don’t have to think about too many issues, you only need to think about one thing, and that is how to maximize the advantages of the water warlock!"
"The sorcerer's concept was quickly accepted by everyone, and a day later, new ships were born. These new ships initially had sails, and they were thought to be useful when the wind was favorable, but later they became It was discovered that compared to the Taoist methods of the water magicians, the sails did not provide much assistance, and such a large sail would require a long piece of wood to be erected there, seriously affecting the operation of the entire ship, and then began to revise the version. …”
"The ship we took yesterday has no sails..."
Jiang Hua recalled the ship he took yesterday. It was no longer a traditional sailing ship. Its appearance was similar to a modern coal-fired steam ship. It's just that steam ironclads burned coal and relied on steam engines as power, but today's immigrant ships rely on water magicians to cast spells and mobilize the power of water everywhere in the ocean.
How fast the ship goes depends on how much water power the warlock can mobilize.
As for draining the water power from the sea, this is impossible!
"After the ships were improved, some people also studied the method of water magicians to control the power of water in the sea."
In the past, this kind of thing was regarded as the basis of the basics. No one would make great efforts to study it: water magicians can sense the power of water in the sea and activate the power of water. Does this still need to be studied? Isn’t this just a matter of having hands? Those who have understood the true meaning of the water element can learn it without being taught, and those who have not understood it will have a hard time learning it even if taught.
"Last month, there was an issue of a yellow-level journal that specifically talked about this issue. It also designed a set of conceptual methods and a set of captain series magic tools. Each one is an ordinary small magic weapon. But when combined, it can have the effect of a top-notch magic weapon, which can double the work efficiency of water warlocks and make ships faster."
At this point, Qu Wu laughed happily: "Although these changes seem very inconspicuous, they are all very basic and basic things, but it is these inconspicuous basic gadgets that have made our immigration frequency change from three to three. One round trip a day has become one round trip a day, and the efficiency of immigration has also increased from one million people a month to one million people now."
"With such a transportation speed, even if it is used to transport various daily necessities, it is extremely efficient! It is said that someone has begun to design more suitable ocean-going ships. By then, a safe route will be opened directly along the coastline to Kuaiji and Yue. Do business!”
Today you can do business with Yue, tomorrow you can do business with Qi, and the day after tomorrow you can do business with all the vassal states with coastlines.
It sounds very exciting!
"Today's Siheyuan method has been improved many times, and there are also large-scale land plowing. In the past, everyone focused on how to make the spell more powerful, how to make the spell less expensive, and how to cast it faster. In terms of magic, now that my thinking has changed, I have discovered many new ideas.”
"For example, reducing the consumption of Taoist magic by extending the casting time."
"For example, this kind of standard courtyard house, now, the entire area on Dongning Island that was once reclaimed is almost full."
Hearing this, Jiang Hua said curiously: "Huh? How could it be possible? When I first arrived on Dongning Island, the territory had already been reclaimed by those uncles (originally the big demons collected by the Jiang family on the island). Yancheng is not too big, with at least two counties, and after development, there will be at least twenty-five or six counties."
Qu Wu shook his head seriously: "My lord, if Yancheng is still the Yancheng of the past, then these lands are indeed enough. Thirty counties can be developed even if they are squeezed, but now we have moved a large number of common people and savages , the total population of Dongning Island today is almost four million. The food we accumulated in Yancheng in the past was only enough to feed them for three years. If we had not obtained a large amount of food from the nobles, there would have been almost no food left. .”
"These nearly four million people are now working to open up wasteland."
"Most of these four million people had a poor life in the past, and there were very few able-bodied men. So except for some who are slightly talented, the rest are slowly opening up wasteland and recuperating. In order to allow them to recover, we even give them Each person has prepared a quota of three bowls of spiritual spring in the first year, just to prevent them from being exhausted or collapsing."
"A few talented people have now joined the army. The rest are working to open up wasteland. Of course, children and teenagers are sent to junior schools. The schools raise them for the family, which can be regarded as saving a lot of time for the parents. and energy.”
"So many people are opening up wasteland, and there are many alchemists and many teachers from the academy who will help open up wasteland when they have nothing to do. In some places, it is too difficult to open up wasteland. The Prefecture will release some tasks in time to make it easier for the Taoists. Cast spells to open new rivers, or cast spells to dredge rivers, build reservoirs, etc.”
“Today’s Dongning Island is under construction almost everywhere!”
"Although the seniors (Dangkang, Dryad and other great demons and demon kings) have worked very hard, the land they have occupied now is indeed almost completed."
"Is there any explanation here?" Jiang Hua was still pretending to be stupid.
Feng Yi immediately answered: "These sites have been plowed by Dangkang and other seniors in the past, and some places have even been plowed more than once. Therefore, there are fewer monsters and ghosts inside, and the losses during the land reclamation are not great. At present, it is nearly Four million people opened up wasteland, and only more than 400 people died at the hands of monsters and monsters. This is an almost unreplicable miracle."
"Moreover, the land veins of the past site have been sorted out long ago. At a glance, it is all a large plain. There are only occasional hills and occasionally a forest, but overall it is very suitable for reclamation. Therefore, it is not difficult to open up wasteland. , So far, less than a thousand people have died due to various reasons during land reclamation."
"But the rest of the land is full of monsters and monsters, and the terrain has not been sorted out. No one knows how many monsters are hidden in any place."
"Well, then let's issue a mission and let the Taoists go solve the demon problem. It just so happened that Seniors Mo Sheng and Kong Sheng sent a large number of classics. Let's speed up the research and open some classics appropriately. We won't worry about no one accepting the mission." Jiang Hua said innocently.
Feng Yi put on a sad face: "However, these monsters and the terrain are actually just a small problem. The real big problem is that there are also monster kings on Dongning Island, and there are more than one!"
"Ah, how could this happen..." Jiang Hua's acting skills were very exaggerated, but no one came to expose him.
"Ten thousand years ago, most of the demons on Dongning Island were the aquatic tribe. Ten thousand years ago, Senior Mo Sheng came to the East China Sea. Since then, a large number of islands have gradually surfaced, and the aquatic tribe has slowly disappeared."
"Over the past ten thousand years, the demons on Dongning Island have developed rapidly. Now there are seven demon kings. If there are only one or two demon kings, we can catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared. We can collect intelligence in advance, formulate relevant plans, and even use a beheading tactic. , and then slowly open up wasteland, but among the seven demon kings, even if we conduct a raid, we can only kill one or two, and we have no way to deal with the remaining demon kings."
"What's more important is that the frontline is still facing off and the war is still going on. Senior Peng and Senior Changkong cannot leave the frontline for too long, otherwise they will be discovered by the enemy and the ministers will be dispatched directly. The army will be finished and the defense line will be finished!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown, and after a moment he looked at Jiang Ju and Qi Xin.
"Two Taoist friends, you have also seen that Dongning Island has indeed reached its limit today. What is left is not that we are unwilling to develop or continue to develop, but that our strength is limited."
Having said this, Jiang Hua looked at Feng Yi: "Let's do this. When this battle is over, we will think about how to deal with these seven demon kings."
Hearing this, Jiang Ju snorted coldly and took out Fei Gong directly: "Old man, did you hear that? They are complaining that we can't do anything, so they are looking for help from you, the master!"
"As a master, it is not appropriate for you to intervene in the internal war of the Chao Kingdom, but now facing the Demon King on Dongning Island, isn't it appropriate for you to take action?"
Before he finished speaking, Fei Gong disappeared from everyone's eyes. Almost in a breath, Fei Gong was back in Jiang Ju's hands again.
"Okay, all seven demon kings have been dealt with..."
"Thank you Master, thank you Senior Sister, Junior Brother, I can't help it. Next, I will take you to visit the core and most important academy system in Yancheng!"
Mozi and others do not interfere in the domestic affairs of the nest, but they fight monsters overseas. Is it normal?
