Civilization spreads to another world

"Sorry." Earl Howard asked aloud, "The academy you are talking about is..."

Hearing this, the young man asked curiously, "Are you a tourist from Wangcheng?"

Seeing people stunned, the boy smiled: "There is no one in Chang'an Town who doesn't know about the academy, and only tourists will ask."

Earl Ward twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded and admitted, but he did not confess his identity, only saying that he was a servant of the noble lord.

The young man seemed to understand the strangeness long ago, and answered his question with a smile: "Academy is an academy, and there are more and more people in the town. My Lord God has built three new academies, but they will be called academies in the future... "

Although they don't understand why it should be changed.

——In fact, calling it Academy is just Shi Yu and Huo Ci's language habits, after all, the name Academy is rarely heard in the 21st century.

The two of them now seem to have the posture of an emperor with Tianxian in their mouths, and it is difficult to change what they say, so they simply called it an academy.

"...the ones that are under construction..." The young man pointed in several directions towards the void, "ah, I forgot, the work has been suspended for the Chinese New Year, but I heard from my teacher that it will be completed soon, my lord envoy the day before yesterday Let the district committee send a notice to every household, and after the Spring Festival, the college will officially invite students!"

When it comes to envoys, he is full of respect and worship.

Earl Howard recalled the news from his servants that Chang'an Town was indeed under construction, but because Chang'an Town had been repairing and repairing, it did not attract much attention, and the envoy did not spread the news of the construction of the academy.

Is it intentional concealment or waiting for the opportunity?

he thought.

The young man was drawn out of the conversation box, and he was at the age of showing off, and he had a girl he liked by his side, so he started talking endlessly: "...there are three new schools, one is the School of Grammar, the other is the School of Art, and the other is the School of Technology. ..."

He introduced the three colleges in detail, and the food didn't stop in the middle.

Earl Howard's heart was shaken when he heard it. He taught words and laws as well as skills. What did the envoy want to do?

He is not those nobles who are stupid and only know how to have fun. He clearly understands the importance of mastering words and knowledge. If one day the commoners are smarter and learn more than the nobles, what will happen?

He had almost seen what would happen.

However, he was not frightened, but excited from the bottom of his bones.

If true, great!

More than anyone else, he looked forward to seeing all the nobles die and cry bitterly.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid it can only be imagined.

Those gangsters in the temple are not fools, and the nobles are not all fools, let alone the envoys.

"Can people from outside Chang'an Town sign up?"

"Of course." The young man nodded, "My Lord God Envoy said that anyone who wants to come can come. My father has already discussed with my grandfather that all the children from my uncle, uncle and aunt's family will come."

really.

Earl Howard suppressed the regret in his heart, let out a smile, and echoed: "That's great, thank you for telling me the news."

"You're welcome." The young man smiled, and then curiously asked about their royal city.

Earl Ward chatted with him casually, and slowly, the girl on the side also joined in. After coming and going, he knew that the young man was not an aborigine in Chang'an Town, but a businessman who had settled in Chang'an Town after the mission came. Hukou and identity card, decided to settle in Chang'an Town.

The same goes for the girl, the two families are friends, so they are very close.

The two were unprepared, and soon they were told more words.

For example, the merchants' satisfaction with Chang'an Town, the details of the neighborhood committee and the police station, and the fact that there is a military area in the back mountain that specializes in training guards, etc.

The Lantern Festival and snacks in front of the boys and girls were almost finished, and Earl Howard finally asked the question he wanted to know most casually:

"Is the pathology true?"

"Of course it's true!" The boy's eyes widened, as if what the envoy said could be wrong.

"But the Holy See said it was the devil..." Earl Howard pretended to hesitate.

The boy immediately said: "The Holy See made a mistake, because God has left the world and they have no way to communicate with God. They don't know that God has made new discoveries, like these new foods and new festivals. God didn't tell us, we just don't know about it. .”

He swears, very firm.

Earl Howard's heart was shocked. It was the first time he heard someone say that the Holy See was wrong so openly. It was ridiculous. He looked around subconsciously and vigilantly, but found that no one cared about the boy's remarks. The girl next to him said that. That's right, that's the expression.

Only his servant buried his head deeply, his body stiff and motionless.

But what is even more ridiculous is that the servant betrayed the Holy See early on, but he is still afraid of it.

"How could the Holy See be wrong..." He pretended to be panicked.

"Why can't you make mistakes?" The young man was surprised. "Everyone makes mistakes. If you make mistakes, you can just correct them. The God Envoy said that there is nothing wrong with making mistakes. If you make mistakes and correct them in time, you are still a good boy. Oh no, you are a good person." .”

He said it for granted.

Earl Ward did not speak for a while, and finally twitched the corners of his mouth as the young girl waved goodbye.

Seeing the person walking away, he put on his mask back and stood up with a cold expression: "You go back first."

"Master is in danger..." The servant turned pale with shock.

Earl Howard was bored and decided to replace people when he went back. One by one was stupider than the other. There were guards guarding every intersection on the street. There was a row of guards standing at the exit. From time to time, patrols passed by. What danger could there be?

There is probably no safer place in the world than Chang'an Town.

After dismissing the servants, he walked along the street carefully, taking everything in the commercial street into his eyes. After visiting the four main streets, he thought about the issue of cooperating with the envoy. He didn't believe that the envoy would only choose to cooperate with the Temple of Wealth. Sooner or later, he will find nobles, and I am afraid this time is the opportunity.

He must take this opportunity.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a bang, and huge fireworks exploded above my head. Everyone stopped in an instant, and everyone in the store ran out. Everyone looked up at the sky, admiring the beautiful fireworks, Cheers.

Even though he already knew that this was not magic, but something made by human hands, Earl Howard still felt incredible.

The gorgeous fireworks bloomed one by one in his eyes, which seemed to indicate the future that was about to change dramatically.

·

The Lantern Festival celebration lasted for four days, from the warm-up of the [-]th to the official end of the [-]th. After half a month of celebration, the town temporarily fell into a slump.

The festival celebrations are suspended, the holiday officially begins, and the gates of Chang'an Town are open. As long as you go to the district committee to register and get a pass, you can go out, travel and visit relatives as you like, and come back before the college starts to work in the factory.

As for never going back, apart from spies, Shi Yu and Huo Ci believe that no one will run away. For ordinary people, there is no better place to live than Chang'an Town, especially those who have just escaped from slavery. leave.

The fact is also the same. Almost no slaves took out their passports. They were all later merchants and former aborigines.

These workers who were promoted from slaves not only did not go out, but also chose to return to their posts to work overtime. They came later than the aborigines, and the savings they earned from the houses they lived in were far less than that of the aborigines. Some even became workers just before the Spring Festival. She still lives in a dormitory, and works overtime on holidays to get double job points. In order to start a blind date and successfully start a family, everyone has gone all out.

As for those who are still slaves who have not yet become regulars, they will work harder. They wish they could stay in the workshop 24 hours a day. Besides, as slaves, they do not have the right to come and go freely.

Although Shi Yu and Huo Ci sympathized with these slaves, they would never show sympathy excessively, otherwise they would only harm others and themselves.

Although the slaves are unwilling to go out, many merchants and aborigines are willing to register, but most of them go to the newly built Xiangkui City for a while, and plan to try their luck in a few nearby towns a little further away. There are still relatives and friends who have survived, and the only ones who travel are those businessmen who have come from far away.

"Do you want to go out and have a look?" Huo Ci asked suddenly.

Shi Yu was flipping through the registration form, and was taken aback when he heard the words: "Where are you going?" Then he shook his head, "Let's forget it, it's freezing, and besides, those noble bishops are still there, so let's go. What if something goes wrong?"

Huo Ci: "Don't go too far, let's go out of the city and look at the scenery along the road, and come back at night."

Shi Yu hesitated.

Huo Ci understood what he was thinking when he saw his expression, he laughed: "Afraid of accident?"

Shi·Yu Yu, a terminal patient with death delusions, said hard: "No, I think it's cold, it's so warm to stay indoors in the cold weather, why go out and suffer..."

Huo Ci had the expression that you said I listened to you.

Shi Yu choked.

Huo Ci took the form from his hand and pulled him up: "Go, don't worry, I won't let you get cold, and I won't let you have any accidents, I promise." He raised his hand and made a swearing gesture, "You If I slip and fall, I will support you underneath, and if you fall, I will carry you on my back, even if the carriage is startled, I promise to protect you as soon as possible, okay?"

Having been together day and night for a year, he has already fully understood how serious Shi Yu's death hallucinations are. For a person who would fantasize about choking to death after eating a nut, he can only take the initiative to force him to act.

Sure enough, although Shiyu muttered, he still got up and followed out the door.

For him, he would not take the initiative to "die", but he would not refuse when others called him.

It's not that he refuses to tell the truth, but that he himself lacks courage and will have death fantasies. It would be better to have someone to accompany him.

So the two envoys who had been working hard for a year left the business for the first time and quietly left the city in a carriage.

Speaking of traveling for a year, they actually stayed in Chang'an Town all the time, and they never went to Xiangkui City at the farthest. If they were other time travelers, they might have changed the map long ago.

However, with the level of transportation in this era, the two of them didn't have the slightest expectation of traveling far. Apart from being a little interested in the said to be very prosperous Wangcheng, they didn't care about going to other places.

You may see a lot of natural beauty, but compared to safety and comfort, it's better to stay in Chang'an Town. You can see how uncomfortable traveling is when you look at the nobles who have traveled thousands of miles.

Okay, why bother to suffer that.

Anyway, Shiyu made up his mind that unless the cement roads are covered with trains in the future, he will definitely not engage in any other world travel.

There are a lot of carriages leaving the city. Ever since the concrete road between Xiangkui City and Xiangkui City was built, Chang'an Town has added a carriage workshop.

Shi Yu discovered that when it comes to the enjoyment of nobles, the technology tree of this world will always grow super long, such as four-wheeled carriages. In the same period in China, two-wheeled carriages are still the main ones. This world has actually developed a steering device. Four-wheeled carriage.

This is a good thing, it saves Shi Yu and Huo Ci from sending people to study it, but Shi Yu remembered that the problem of spring damping was mentioned in a novel he had read, so he proposed an idea for a carriage builder to experiment, and it turned out that he was a professional. Give it to the pros, and it's done in no time.

As soon as the new carriage was released, it was very popular. The credit Shiyu gave to Leonis who had been busy all the time, and dedicated it to Emperor Mijin in his name. This time when the nobles came, they took the new carriage. In addition to the shock absorber, there is also a shape.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci don't know how to manufacture, but they have seen many shapes of carriages, ranging from Chinese to Western styles. They searched and drew all the memories and handed them over to the workshop, and made them together with the shock absorber.

They are now riding one of them. In order not to be eye-catching, they chose the most common Western-style type. It is not big and can accommodate up to four people. The door is opened on the side, and glass windows are installed on the left and right. No one can see inside when the curtains are drawn.

Huo Ci peeled an orange: "I regret it."

Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Huo Ci: "I shouldn't have chosen this one just now, I should have chosen the one next to it."

Shi Yu followed his gaze, looked at himself and then at him, couldn't help laughing, the seats in the western-style carriage were facing each other, and they happened to be on one side, separated by a table in the middle.

And just next to it is a Chinese-style carriage, and you can sit together when you enter.

Seeing Huo Ci's resentful eyes made him even happier.

Huo Ci looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

This was their first date, and he hoped to leave a good memory, not all kinds of death fantasies.

There are many horse-drawn carriages out of the city, and it is not expensive to rent a horse-drawn carriage. Since the start of tourism, merchants and aborigines have saved a lot, and the trip is a family unit, so most of them choose a bigger and more luxurious one. Their small carriage is mixed with None of which attracted the slightest attention.

The driver was the bodyguard of the two people. As the population of Chang'an Town increased and the scale grew, the two people's safety concerns for themselves also gradually increased.

Specially selected capable and loyal guards as exclusive guards to protect their safety 24 hours a day.

The guards, wearing overcoats and hats and masks, were not afraid of being recognized.

In addition to him, two carriages followed far behind, just in case.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci didn't intend to go to Xiangkui City, so they asked the guards to slow down and walk slowly, admiring the scenery on both sides while walking.

On the right hand side is the stretching Baishan Mountain. The forest at the foot of the mountain is densely covered, and it spreads to the side of the road until it becomes sparse. It is winter, and everything is withered. The leaves are falling and only dead trees are left, covered by ice and snow.

Before the road was built, there were often wild beasts running around in the mountains. When building the road, in order to avoid wild beasts in the future, almost all the trees on both sides were cut down, leaving only a few sparse ones for greening. can see.

In order to further ensure safety, Shi Yu and Huo Ci suggested that Leonis send people to plant a lot of flowers and plants that wild animals don't like on both sides, and after two years they will grow wildly, and they will be even less afraid.

Furthermore, in the future, the expansion of Chang'an Town will gradually develop in the direction of Xiangkui City, and sooner or later both sides will be developed.

Shi Yu looked at the terrain and was already thinking about what building to build on it.

"The Temple of Heaven can be placed there." He pointed to the right side and said.

Baishan is very similar to the mountains on both sides of a modern Swiss town. It is not steep, and it rises in a gentle manner, and it feels easy to climb up.

Especially the section that spreads towards Xiangkui City, because it is not the main peak, it is not very high.

In spring and summer, it is covered by green grass, and it is very beautiful with the blue sky and white clouds that have not been polluted.

If you have a camera, just take a picture and it will be a screensaver.

What Shi Yu was referring to was a platform that just protruded, and a piece suddenly appeared horizontally on the gentle mountain, like a natural altar.

"Look, the height is just right. When the altar is built, you can go straight out of the road without turning."

"It's very suitable." Huo Ci agreed, and then said helplessly, "It's rare to come out to play, so let's put work aside for now, okay?"

Shi Yu avoided his gaze and coughed dryly: "I just think about it casually, if you don't like it, I won't say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was taken aback by his coquettish tone, and his dry cough became a real cough.

I didn't expect such a tone from a big man like myself, goosebumps all over my body.

No, it's not his problem, it must be Huo Ci's fault.

Huo Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with his tone at all, thinking that he was really choking, he immediately opened the lid of the cup and handed him water.

"Drink slowly, be careful and choke again."

Shi Yu felt guilty for a moment because of his concern, and immediately put aside the complaint just now, took two sips of water, suppressed it, and said, "Okay, I don't want to talk about business, what do you want to talk about?"

Huo Ci took back the water glass and put the lid on it, wanting to say that he didn't want to talk about anything, just wanted him to relax and enjoy the scenery, but seeing Shiyu's serious expression, he changed his words: "Anything is fine, I will listen to whatever you want, except for business matters , of course you can also ask me."

Shi Yu: "Anything is fine?"

"It will be all right."

"You..." Shi Yu hesitated for a while and asked, "How many exes do you have?"

Caught off guard, he didn't expect him to be so direct. Huo Ci said a little too late: "If I remember correctly, I told you on New Year's Eve that this is the first time I like someone."

His eyes were gloomy, as if accusing him of forgetting.

"I haven't forgotten." Shi Yu hurriedly said, muttering, "I like to socialize with people without conflicting."

Huo Ci's eyes showed surprise, as if he hadn't expected him to have such an idea, and his tone was a bit unbelievable: "How can you date if you don't like it? Could it be that in your heart, I am the kind of person who will associate with people casually?"

A look of disbelief.

"Of course not!" Shi Yu immediately said, "I didn't think so, I was just curious, and you know that our circle is relatively open, and this kind of thing is not unusual, you should know..."

This kind of thing was not uncommon when he discovered his sexuality, not to mention young people, even his parents were very avant-garde, and sometimes they would discuss this kind of issue with him on Weibo.

On the contrary, the people in the circle seem to be imprisoned, and there are very few people who keep themselves clean.

He has met people who are not dating because they like each other, and there are not a few of them. Some people can even date several people at the same time, and some of them even know each other.

So much so that he went in with a longing for love, and came out with his nose pinched, deciding to develop his career first, and let matters of love follow fate.

And with Huo Ci's conditions, he didn't think it would be completely blank.

Huo Ci frowned upon hearing this: "What about you?"

His brows were drooping and he looked aggressive, as if he realized that he was too strong, he immediately slowed down his tone: "No, I have never dated anyone, and I have never liked anyone before you. If you really want to count, high school Does it count because the school grass discovers her sexuality?"

"How did you find out?" Shi Yu's heart tightened.

There was a smile in Huo Ci's eyes: "He came to confess to me, but I refused, but this incident made me realize that I probably don't like girls."

Shi Yu snorted, to cover up his nervousness just now, and said, "I haven't dated anyone before, but I don't have a school girl to confess my love to me."

Huo Ci: "That must be because you are the school grass."

Shi Yu: "..."

Huo Ci is innocent: "Isn't it? Could it be that there were people in your previous school who were prettier than you?"

Shi Yu was speechless: "Our school is not Elliston, and we can't finish our homework, so how can we have time to select some school grass?"

"Elliston is..."

Shi Yu was surprised: "You don't know Elliston? <Let's watch the meteor shower together> Haven't you heard of it?"

Although he hadn't watched it in its entirety, it was discussed in the class at the time, and he knew the plot even if he didn't watch it.

Huo Ci's expression was blank.

Shi Yu burst out laughing: "You always know about F4, <Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together> is the mainland version, come on, let me tell you..."

It turned out that when he was a teenager, Huo Ci was a cool boy who didn't follow trends.

Finally, he had something to show off, so he immediately got up and started talking cheerfully.

So their first date was spent in the plot of "Watching the Meteor Shower Together", and Shi Yu also taught Huo Ci the episodes in it.

Although he also only remembers the climax/tide part.

The two envoys recalled that when they were children, the residents who got the pass arrived in Xianggui City in a carriage.

The Bing family is among them, but they are not just here to play, but to find the aunt's family.

Bing's mother was not originally a citizen of Xiangkui Town. She lived in Hongye Town, which is relatively close to Hongxiang City. She was the cook of the Baron Hongye who was in charge of Hongye Town at that time. Her grandmother was a cook, and her mother was also a cook. She stayed in the manor since she was born, learning to be a cook with her sister and sister.

It just so happened that Baron Kashiwagi stayed at Baron Hongye's manor when he took office, and thought that Baron Hongye's food was good, so Baron Hongye casually pointed to Bing's mother and gave her to Baron Kashiwagi.

Mother Bing had to leave her family and followed Baron Cypress to Xiangkui Town.

But Baron Cypress brought his cook with him, and when he arrived in Xiangkui Town, there was also the previous cook who stayed in the original manor. Mother Bing was young at that time and was soon framed and expelled from the manor. She was already Baron Cypress. The people in the territory cannot leave the territory, they can only choose to marry.

At first, they thought they would never see their relatives again, but after the famine, an envoy appeared. The envoy took them in and asked them if they had any relatives, so they could write them down and help them find them.

Mother Bing registered excitedly.

It's a pity that the guards came back and told them that Earl Hongye was killed by serfs rushing into the manor. Almost all the servants in the manor ran away, and there were no relatives left behind.

Mother Bing was not discouraged and planned to keep looking.

The envoy did not let them give up, saying that the guards would help them pay attention, and even made a special booklet, which was distributed in various territories to search for it.

And in early winter, when the Sunflower City was established, they found it!

Nearly 20 years later, Bing's mother's parents have passed away, her elder sister died prematurely due to childbirth, her elder brother was killed when the serfs rushed into the manor, her younger brother was missing, and only her younger sister escaped the catastrophe because she was married and did not live in the manor. , but because of the famine, she followed her husband to Hongxiang City.

When the Sunflower City was established, they were sent here as a labor force.

Then I saw Chang'an Town's tracing handbook in Xiangkui City, and immediately registered.

After 20 years, there is finally news.

Bing's mother cried a lot, and when she learned that she could go out of the city to visit relatives, she registered her pass and brought her husband and children to Xiangkui City.
