Civilization spreads to another world

The first Cycling Tour of the Principality ended successfully amidst cheers.

Spectators who saw this kind of competition for the first time were very satisfied.

The players who received the medal bonus and were honored and surrounded by cheers were very satisfied.

The nobles who felt the charm of competition for the first time were also very satisfied.

Of course, except for those who bet on failure and lose money.

As the hosts, Shi Yu and Huo Ci were more satisfied. The topping task, which had been delayed for more than a year, had finally made great progress. Although only the main roads of the various territories were built at present, they finally connected the entire Mijin Kingdom.

Even in the modern new century, some remote mountain villages still have dirt roads. In a place with a low level of science and technology, it is already quite remarkable to complete such a large project.

With this road, with bicycles, tricycles and new horse-drawn carriages under development, information will soon become unimpeded, caravan travel will become more and more convenient, and the scope of item transmission will become wider and wider...

A series of chain reactions are coming.

It may be a bad thing for some people, but it is definitely a good thing for promoting the development of the whole society.

The road is connected, Shi Yu and Huo Ci can finally take the next step.

"Publish the newspaper."

Shi Yu made the final decision.

Starting a newspaper is what he wanted to do the day paper was made, but it wasn't the right time at that time, and now after more than two years of deliberation, he can give it a try.

Huo Ci did not object, but suggested that he should not do it overnight.

"...I think what we have to do is to guide. We can't take out ready-made plans for everything, which kills their thinking. What is the difference between them and the nobles of the Holy See? Let them start from scratch a little bit, themselves It makes more sense to build."

"In addition, journalists and editors need training, and new departments need to be recruited. Everything needs time to adjust."

Come on, one set after another, what else can Shi Yu say, you talk a lot, listen to you.

Tucao to Tucao, he also knows that Huo Ci is right, giving them ready-made things is indeed a kind of strangulation invisibly.

Just like building a house, when the construction team went to Xiangkui City and the two opposite cities to help, the houses built completely copied the appearance of the houses in Chang'an Town, losing innovation and development.

And they can't produce detailed drawings, such as furniture, such as clothes, even if they draw a sample, thousands of people can understand it, and the craftsmen come out with all kinds of new products one after another.

The same should be true for newspapers. They only provide a guide and give a big framework, and they fill in the rest by themselves.

So this competition is an opportunity.

After seeing the situation of the regional competition in May, Shi Yu asked the competition office to send out a call for papers. The content of the papers was a description of the finals. Anyone could sign up and submit papers, regardless of status or age.

At that time, the five best works will be selected and printed on paper and sold all over the country like storybooks.

As soon as the notice was released, many people signed up. Of course, it was more because of the remuneration attached to the bottom of the notice.

Among them, there are the most college students. They don't care about the remuneration, but for the signature of the article. No one knows how well the story books in Chang'an Town are sold. Every literate person in every territory has a copy, especially the nobles. mean what?Fame!

Famous all over the country, envied by everyone, who doesn't like it.

Especially the aristocrats, who have no shortage of food and clothing, and their favorite pursuit is fame.

Those who were about to submit their manuscripts immediately widened their eyes, wishing they could engrave this last scene in their minds.

Just like the previous regional competitions, the champion, runner-up and third runner-up stood on the podium under the guidance of student volunteers, and the orchestra played live music, which was cheerful and solemn.

The step of raising the flag is temporarily omitted. First, the principalities do not have a clear national flag, and the family emblem is barely counted, but the nobles will not hand over the family emblem to the common people as representatives. Second, the principality is just a principality, and it is a complete country together. , Maybe in the future, other countries around the country of Mijin will participate in a flag-raising ceremony.

During the music, Shi Yu and Huo Ci showed up and presented trophies—they were medals in the regional competition, but in the finals they were replaced with more luxurious trophies, made of pure gold, very beautiful, the three contestants were very excited, and the No. [-] player who won the championship It was so trembling that I almost couldn't hold it.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... Thank you, Master God Envoy..."

A look of sincerity and fear.

The long hand representing the Blue Neck Principality looked ashamed, he only won the third place, and muttered: "I'm sorry..."

Shi Yu comforted him with a smile: "Well done, you are the pride of Chang'an Town."

His eyes were red with long hands.

Shi Yu patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.

Huo Ci also gave a smile.

Although the players from Chang'an Town were the first to learn how to ride a bicycle and have home court advantage, they also had the least pressure.

The Chang'an Town Event Office has been promoting friendship first and competition second, and vaccinating the townspeople, which has subtly relieved the pressure on the long hand. In addition, he has already received a reward of [-] gold coins, and his motivation has also decreased.

The other contestants are different. With the lords using both rewards and punishments, they all put in a desperate posture. In this atmosphere, it is already very good for the long-handed to win the third place.

The purpose of Shi Yu and Huo Ci's competition was not to win the first place. In fact, from the perspective of publicity, it would be better if the championship was taken away by other territories.

The onlookers picked up a pen and wrote vigorously in a small notebook to record this scene.

After the trophies are distributed, it is the bonus link that everyone loves to see.

This time it wasn't a plate, but it was pushed over with a decorated trolley. The champion had [-] gold coins, the runner-up [-], and the third runner-up [-].

Just as the sun was setting in the west, the sunset glow of early summer shone on the cart, dazzling everyone's eyes with its golden light.

"Wow--"

"hiss--"

Everyone's eyeballs were about to protrude, and they wished that they were the ones who got the bonus.

For the contributors, this is a very good picture, and it was recorded decisively.

The civilians cheered happily, and the gathered nobles were also affected by the atmosphere, and clapped their hands accordingly.

Prince Green Needle shot especially loudly, and his mood was so excited. Green Needle Principality has always been inconspicuous among several principalities, and he is not outstanding as an heir. .

Standing among the princes, he instantly felt a little taller.

I thought to myself that I must find an opportunity to ask Lord Angel, when is the next bicycle race, since it is said to be the first, there must be a second and third.

If you can always win the championship...

What Prince Green Needle thinks is also what other princes think.

Before they came, they didn't take this competition very seriously, it was just a little fun, and they were more curious about Chang'an Town.

As the eldest son heirs, they rarely leave the territory. The last time the younger brothers came back on behalf of the mission, they told them a lot about Chang'an Town, and they were very moved. They really wanted to see it with their own eyes, but unfortunately they never had the chance.

Afterwards, all kinds of new things came out, food, drink and clothing... followed by pathology and colleges, going to Wangcheng at the end of the year, listening to other nobles chatting about Chang'an Town, They couldn't talk at all.

This time they finally got the king's permission, and all their attention was focused on Chang'an Town, which they were about to meet along the way, but they didn't expect that this match would give them a big surprise.

What the envoys held was completely different from what they held when they were in the territory!

Not to mention the competition process, what surprised them most was the awards ceremony.

When the contestants from the Green Needle Country walked onto the championship platform, the princes clapped their hands on the surface, and complained bitterly about the shit luck of the Green Needle Country in their hearts, especially looking at the proud and smug look of the Green Needle Prince, with a smile on his face. Laughing, my teeth itch.

When the Green Needle Prince came to the stage to lift the trophy together with the champion, and was surrounded by people from the Green Needle Country, when the audience applauded and cheered for them, he wished that time could turn around and go back and grab his own players, no matter threats or rewards, make them win the championship .

"...The grand occasion of this competition will be recorded in detail afterwards, published as a newspaper, and sent to all parts of the country..."

The competition committee came to the stage to make a final summary.

Doesn't this mean that he will also be written into it?

Prince Green Needle was overjoyed, and clapped his hands together, making a fuss.

The other princes were out of jealousy.

It was an annoyance in my heart.

It's a pity that it's a done deal, and those who are smart quickly think about the next session.

When the princes came to inquire, Shiyu was very happy to introduce the detailed concept of the sports meeting to them, and asked them to distribute the prepared brochure of the first National Cup to them. Not only the princes, everyone present had a copy.

Come, come, learn about football.

As early as the first year of their time travel, they developed football. After two years of promotion, everyone from nobles to commoners are playing it, and basically everyone understands the rules.

The development of rubber in the research area is not limited to tires, conveyor belts, shoe soles, pressure water pipes, can lids, erasers, rubber cords, etc., and various derivatives are constantly being manufactured.

Naturally, football has also been improved.

Although it is not as refined as modern times, it can be used in competitions in this era.

Strike while the iron is hot, Shi Yu and Huo Ci intend to take advantage of their own enthusiasm and take advantage of the popularity of the bicycle race to promote the football game.

When it comes to football, the princes are very familiar with it. They have played it a lot, and several of them have abandoned their original hunting and riding and are completely addicted to it.

Dang even went to consult with the competition committee with great interest about how to form a team.

At the same time, Jin Yi, the interim minister of the Ministry of Finance, led the department officers to go to the masses, especially among the businessmen who got together, and introduced the competition sponsorship project.

Do you want your caravan's name to appear on the field?Do you want the whole country to know about your products?

think?

Then sign up!

Find out about sponsorship fees.

From the layout of the venue to the surrounding area of ​​the football, no matter whether it is a local businessman in Chang'an Town or a foreign businessman, as long as they are willing, they can come to bid.

Mr. Bao is satisfied, and he is innocent.

With his subordinates working so hard, Shi Yu also approached the Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth and talked about the new canned food business.

With rubber, the sealing of cans is no longer a problem. Chang'an Town has established two canning factories. After three months of trial operation and running-in, the canned food in Chang'an Town has reached saturation, and it can be considered to develop outward.

This development is not only for export, but also for the acquisition of fruits.

Chang'an Town is so big, except for the pears that can be supplied in unlimited quantities, other fruits need a long process to expand and cultivate, and not all fruits can be made into cans, most of them should be fresh eat.

So it has to be acquired.

In the past two years, Chang'an Town has continuously spread new planting concepts and agricultural tools. With the endorsement of the Holy See and Emperor Mijin, the six grand dukes agreed to improve the agriculture of the territory. After all, there is no need to refuse something that is beneficial to them.

Since last year, each territory is no longer just a single planting, and the land has been fully utilized.

Once the lord speaks, the actions below are also very fast.

There is more and more food, except for those who are stingy and tyrannical and prefer to accumulate food and moldy, most of the lords have given the serfs their due rewards. At least the serfs are no longer hungry. After all, compared with the past, planting and harvesting in a new way Their food has been doubled several times, even if the lord took [-]% of it away, the rest is enough for them to eat.

But it was only enough to eat, it was too early to have a surplus in the granary, and the serfs in some territories were still starving.

The war did not stop because of their arrival, and the famine that once happened in Xianggui Town still happened everywhere.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci have no choice. They can preach peace, but they cannot force others to believe.

Therefore, we can only increase food production as much as possible and spread the method of long-term food storage.

Canned food is.

In addition to the high-end cans specially provided for the nobles, the price of the ordinary ones is kept very low, taking the path of small profits but high sales, so that the common people can eat them as much as possible.

The purchase of fruit can add another food category to the serfs - when the merchants buy it, the lord will inevitably let the serfs plant it.

Just like the hawthorns used to make candied haws, the hawthorns in the territory near Baishan are basically rounded up by the merchants.

In addition to canned fruit, there is also canned meat, which also needs to be purchased from the surrounding area.

"Since it can't be preserved for a long time, maybe we can try to cooperate and set up factories in other territories?" The archbishop of the Temple of Wealth listened to the canning process and said after thinking about it.

Shi Yu smiled: "If the price can be unified, then of course it can."

At first they also had this intention, intending to spread some methods of benefiting the people after the development of Chang'an Town on track, but after fully understanding the situation in each territory, they dismissed this idea.

Once each territory sets up its own factory, the lords will definitely control it in their own hands. At that time, the same piece of paper may be bought for one copper coin in this territory, and five copper coins in that territory.

The flow of people is different, and the land is limited. Most of the citizens stay in the territory all their lives and rarely go out. The entry and exit of merchants must be approved by the lord, and they will not do business at a loss.

To some extent, a territory is equivalent to a framed island.

Don't count on the Holy See. The Holy See's headquarters is in Wangcheng, and the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. The temples assigned to the territories still occupy the land of the lord, and the right to speak is not so strong.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth obviously knew about this situation, and he sighed regretfully. For him, having money and not being able to earn it was even more uncomfortable than making him say dirty words about the God of Wealth.

It would be nice if everything could be formulated in unison.

An idea inevitably popped up in my heart.
