Is this a godsend?

The so-called saying that after two years of water conservancy, you can have money to support the full-time population is purely a dream, and the increased food and population are not enough to open up wasteland.

In this era, as long as you can afford it, no matter how many people you have, you can consume it. Even if Zishou has some kind of cloning technology, you can clone hundreds of thousands of people. Just sprinkle it on the surrounding pastures, just like pouring water into the desert. The same, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When Bo Yikao's convoy stopped in the pasture and waited for the king of Shang to summon him, what he saw was that during the slack season, a large number of savages were working on the wasteland, and some of them were carrying a pack of savages. The logs headed south, where he saw the Lutai Garden under construction.

To be honest, regardless of his standpoint, as an older brother, Bo Yikao felt that this brother-in-law had done his best.

Although Lutai Garden did not really create any carved beams and painted buildings (the word was really created by Di Xin), the walls must be written (patterned), and the practice of transplanting exotic flowers and plants, but those fired pottery bricks, huge wooden The pillars and the fasteners made of thousands of catties of bronze all stunned the poor Xiqi people.

Xiqi is really poor. The prosperity of the Guanzhong Plain is the result of more than a thousand years of development through the Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties. As for the current Guanzhong Plain, it really can only be said to be indescribable.

If Zishou only needs to deal with the wooden stakes and rocks mentioned above, then Xiqi has to deal with the large rocks in the field for land reclamation, which are not as easy to clean as wooden stakes , You have to burn a fire for several days and nights, then pour cold water, and then use a wooden wedge to knock into the cracks to break the big rocks into several pieces, so that the farmers and slaves can clean up these smaller rocks.

If you think that Chengzhou moved to Xiqi to start farming and production, it means that they have started to have money, it is like Zishou thought that large-scale land reclamation at the beginning would bring a good harvest of grain in two years. Not to mention a few dollars, all the human resources he could recruit were evaporated at once.

The income has not been seen at all, and the wealth and slaves plundered before have to be filled in wave after wave, and this continuous flow of people also made Bo Yikao feel emotional, "Dayi merchants are really the best in the world." Great one!"

Modu, which is being expanded again, is repairing the new exterior walls, and wooden scaffolding can be seen everywhere. This thing was invented by Zishou, as well as pulley blocks and simple wooden lifters, which greatly reduced the amount of work for the slaves. .

Of course, the scaffolding is mainly produced by Zishou. Although you can't use the magic sword to blow up the infrastructure, but you didn't say that you can't use it to cut wood, right?Between Xiaolian's huge dissatisfaction and opinions, and the "I'm going to strike" almost written on his face, Hanguang is much cuter.

Not to mention the zero consumption, cutting wood is comparable to an industrial cutting machine. Zishou only needs to hold the log with one hand, and peel the bark with the other as if peeling an apple. Then put it on the shelf and cut it open with a knife. , and then cut out several long planks.

It made the Modu Palace look like a large carpentry workshop. Of course, other nobles were also ordered to use their abilities and family treasures to help build it. Of course, this order caused the nobles of Modu to complain, and the King of Shang summoned them to fight Everyone is brave, after all, there are military merits, fiefdoms, trophies, and slaves, but it is too much to call them to work like slaves.

But...who is going to talk to the Epilepsy King?

Besides, this is just a pain in the ass, and it does not threaten your family status and privileges, so it should be regarded as a special kind of sacrifice. After all, the merchants established their country with handicrafts, and the nobles not only have to be close to farming and mulberry (not just for show, they really have to do it) , to inspect the workshop, or even hold sacrifices, it is not uncommon to ask for sacrificial vessels to bless and assist.

To put it bluntly, they just think that this method is not dignified enough and cannot be distinguished from the untouchables. It’s not that they really don’t work at all. Sericulture and weaving.

You should be able to find that kind of boudoir lady in the Song Dynasty, but there were not many in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, from a socioeconomic point of view, it is understandable that women in this era have a relatively high status, because participating in production, as a family productivity An important member, but when foot binding and deep boudoir women began to be common, the status of women became lower as the time went on.

Watching one piece after another of the fired large pottery bricks being pushed by the winch by dozens of slaves, and being pulled up the slope of the mound with the creaking sound of the thick hemp rope, and sent to the top of the wall, Bo Yikao silently pushed Xiqi back to the top of the wall. The time of Shang was pushed back another 20 years.

"As long as this king of Shang is in power, Xiqi will never turn back!" He was not shocked by productivity, but by financial resources.

Because of the "hemp rope", why the pulley block cannot be popularized in this era, because it is very simple, bronze is expensive, and hemp rope is more expensive, but it really needs to be retting, and then break the fibers, and then hundreds of women hold small spindles a little It is spun into thread for you, and then wound into rope, basically, it is equivalent to cloth.

Ordinary straw hemp rope can't withstand this kind of pulling force at all. If you have to use it, it needs to be soaked in oil, otherwise it will be very easy to break and wear, and this thing also needs a little bit of rubbing by a special rope maker. It can only be a little cheaper than that expensive fine hemp rope, but it's not much cheaper.

And on this construction site, a large number of such materials were used to save manpower and the workload of slaves, and to avoid too many deaths of slaves. In the eyes of Bo Yikao and all the foreign nobles of this era, it was undoubtedly pure waste of money. Ropes, ropes, and wheels are all money, and some are even made of "money".

However, Bo Yikao didn't know, why didn't Zishou let his slaves chop wood and cut wood squares?The reason why he didn't invest a lot of manpower is because he ran out of money again.

Of course, just after the money is spent, there is still food, so there will be no big troubles.

"Your Majesty, Boyi Kao has come to see you."

"Oh, let him in, I'll go right away." Zi Shou inserted Hanguang into Chengying casually, restored Chengying sword, and walked towards the palace. 【Hanguang is hidden in Chengying sword body】

In the backyard, there are piles of wooden squares cut out by Zishou, which makes him seem to have returned to the era of gray men. When you ask why the gray men still cut wood and install scaffolding, this question is like asking, the civil engineer at the construction site Horses and oxen, there are some fucking things that don't have to be done.

Of course, there is another key reason. The wages of civil engineering workers are not as high as those of carpenters and masons on the construction site-a big worker costs seven to eight hundred a day!

Therefore, for the sake of the pink, thin, and soft rectangular paper, he has learned a lot of crafts that are not available. Of course, he is still far from a real carpenter, so he can only do At the apprentice level, with the help of tools, it is barely possible to flatten the wood or cut the log into wooden cubes.

And in this era, as a king, he has more free time to use his strange power to try something, so now he can not only do simple carpentry, but also forge iron, and even do masonry. Considering this strange power, he can move bricks. Even more powerful, a person can hold a brick that is taller than others and go up the tower in a few steps.

Let future generations see it, and everyone will have to praise: What a cow and horse!

"Xiqi Bo Yi Kao, refer to the King" Bo Yi Kao bowed down according to the etiquette, as a foreigner to see him, naturally he can't be messed up like other people, and the proper etiquette needs to be in place.

"Well, so, did your father send you here, or did you ask for a delay?" Zishou didn't give him face, so he just looked at Bo Yikao. If the attitude is not welcoming, the other party will be confused for a while.

"The young girl is weak, and the father just pities her. Since the king can build the garden of the deer terrace, he must also think so. Why is there such a rush? The king is in good health, and it will not be too late." Bo Yikao said without hesitation. Open your mouth and say.

"Furthermore, the motorcade is long and there are many belongings. If there is a mistake on the road, it will be the king's fault. My father sent me here with pearls, jade and dollars behind him. Why should the king worry?"

"Hahahahaha, well said!" Zi Shou squinted his eyes, this Bo Yi Kao is really talented, with good eloquence, and the ability to distinguish the environment and situation, but unfortunately, he is not courageous enough or decisive enough.

Tsk, it seems that the plan needs to be adjusted slightly. Of course, it doesn't affect anything, because the more talented he is, the more he can think about Tong Jichang's future actions.

On the contrary, a guy who has no intentions, just a guy who sullenly believes that his father and younger brother have no bad intentions, Zi Shou will really have a headache, and Bo Yikao like this... that's just right.

The next step is to see if he has ambitions in his mind. Zishou believes that most talented people have ambitions, otherwise, they would have gone to live in seclusion a long time ago. Why did they come to take care of this mess.

"The widow will order you to drive for the widow. Come here, and give Ji Bokao's mansion, frame, and beautiful clothes badge." The badge here does not refer to the seal but the pattern on the clothes. Here it refers to the belt given to Boyi Patterned clothes, not plain clothes.

Why do you have to propose clothes with patterns separately? Because the jacquard loom was not invented at this time, the patterns had to be embroidered by the weaver girl bit by bit, and the dye was even more terrible. Thousands of shells were needed to dye a piece of cloth red, and the shells were the most important thing. Yi paid tribute and merchants went to Dongyi to exchange things. In the Central Plains, shells can even be used directly as money.

Therefore, in this era, a black and red dress with patterns is basically equivalent to clothes sewn with 100 yuan bills in later generations, and may even be sewn with at least 10 denomination checks. For the son of princes and kings like Bo Yikao, it was quite a luxurious reward.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Boyi Kao thanked En on his knees, politely waiting for further instructions from his son, "It's nothing, you can go down, your mother, Tai Si, has old family history with the widow, you might as well find an opportunity to visit." The child throws the first temptation and bait.

Of course, it's not a bait, no matter how stupid Bo Yikao is, he wouldn't openly collude with Jiang's wife's family on the first day he came to Modu. Besides, what bargaining chip can he give Jiang?

The prerequisite for Ji Fa to be able to give the Jiang family a bargaining chip is that Daji came to power, and the grandfather was also the Jiang family. Therefore, after the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, all members of the Jiang family were enfeoffed in Qidi, which was already very large and preferential treatment in terms of the size of the feudal country.

But now, Mrs. Jiang is alive and kicking, and under Zishou's suggestion, she reduces the amount of exercise a little, and lets the fox take care of some sacrificial matters, and raises herself a little fatter to prepare for pregnancy.

From a technical point of view, Zishou couldn't alleviate Jiang's childbirth difficulties, but she could make more adequate preparations. Of course, the most adequate preparation was to wait until she was 24 or 26 years old to conceive, and [-] years old was the best time to give birth.

However, from a biological point of view, this time is the best age area for human mothers to give birth. However, judging from the nutrition and aging speed of this era, it is considered an advanced age mother.

Therefore, the only way is to increase the nutrition of the mother’s body. On the one hand, it can withstand the demands of the fetus during pregnancy. The development, the next time the problem is not big.

As for the other members of the harem, according to Yushu, Zishou has taken contraceptive measures, basically just filling a feeding bottle instead of a water bag. She is indeed a bit young. If she is pregnant, her physique is not as strong as that of Queen Jiang, and her vitality is tenacious. It is estimated that it is a dead end.

As for the fact that Su Bin and other aliens are simply unable to conceive, the difficulty of pregnancy is a bit high. After all, human embryos have to be implanted in the uterus, and it is possible that a foreign woman like Su Bin will have a very strong immune response or it may be The villi in the uterus are very dense.

As a result, even if the embryo is generated, it cannot be implanted smoothly. It is more likely that it is like eating a lot of antibiotics in the early stages of pregnancy, which directly kills the embryo that has just implanted.

"Subordinates should obey their orders" Since he was appointed as a master, Bo Yikao took advantage of the situation to become a subordinate. It's not easy to be a proton. A good proton is certainly a resume. After all, he is fighting for his life. But to return home alive, the right time, place, people and one's own ability and attitude are indispensable.

"Hahaha, let's go, and by the way, you can take a look around the capital." After Boyi passed the exam, Zishou's face became gloomy, "Come on!"

"Your Majesty?" The short man who was new to report appeared in front of Zishou, "Sun, go and keep an eye on Bo Yi Kao, even if he plays throwing pots with a few women at night, he will write it down for me!"

"Yes!" The man named Sun was promoted by Zishou from the construction site. It is rare that there is no strange treasure, but the ability is very strong. Well, in Zishou's eyes, a strong foreigner has two abilities. One, one is to control the small group of soil, and is a first-class brick maker in the pottery brick workshop.

The reason why Zishou discovered it was that when he was working on the construction site, he was almost hit by a carriage inspected by Zishou. No one noticed the person standing on the muddy ground, including the horse, so after discovering this ability, they gave him Promoted to work in the palace.

Of course, Zi Shou is not worried that this guy will put a hat on himself or make troubles, because the Modu Palace has solid wood floors and ceramic tile floors. Not to mention that Hanguang is really sharp, the chipped board is as smooth as a mirror.

"Tsk, Xiqi is probably going to do some insulting diplomacy next? I reckon this guy has noticed it too, so he has done a good job in attitude. If his attitude changes suddenly, he can save his life with his father's life. "

Who is Zishou? The big brother of P company, I have never seen such a big treacherous evil, send the son he doesn't like to be a servant of other nobles, and then insult diplomacy, this son will be gone, and by the way, he will start with a reason for declaring war. He only needs such a vicious idea Just snap your toes and there you go.

"Then if Xiqi loses, it's because the father is incompetent and the younger brother is playing tricks, so he can return to the country as a hostage to preside over the overall situation, and he also expected that I would win him over, so he didn't refuse at all, and took over so quickly, because Only in this way will I believe that he is already my own, so I can let him go back with peace of mind."

"If Xiqi wins, if he doesn't die, he will have the power to deal with it. Plus, he is the eldest son, Ji Chang can't find a reason to change his heir, let alone..." Zishou curled his lips, "However, That’s okay, who would have thought of this kind of straight hook fishing, really think I’m Ji Chang, and I’ll be caught by this kind of thing?”

"My lord, if Xiqi..."

"Simple, furious, make a move to kill Bo Yikao, make Xiqi happy, come on and contact the princes." Zishou surprised the fox, since you guessed it all, why did you jump into the deepest pit? ?Could it be that the king's "today's wise" time has passed, and has he seamlessly switched to the state of madness?

"In this way, wouldn't it be clear at a glance who is the loyal one and who is the second-five boy?" Zishou waved his fingers, fishing, and I grabbed the fishing line, and everyone tore it off.

"Then Boyi Kao Zhizhi must do his best to mediate, claiming that the emperor's father was indiscriminate, or the villain was bewitched, in order to save his own life, and then contact the princes of Shang, sit and watch, and plan for the future." Shou opened his mouth and continued.

Therefore, the original Emperor Xin was inferior. Although he did break the game and directly chopped up Bo Yi Kao and gave it to Ji Chang to eat, but it was too violent, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Bo Yi Kao's plan, and Ji Chang and Ji Chang The plan was successful.

Killing an SR and replacing it with a UR opponent, what kind of broken plan can a fool come up with?

"And the widow followed Bo Yikao's words and said that the inheritance of the eldest son is the unshakable foundation of the country. Naturally, the widow will help him Bo Yikao, let him fight Ji Fa, and give him a thousand merchants. Come to protect him and return to his fiefdom of Boyi, summon the vassals, and the Qing Dynasty will side." Shang has no room for war, but it is not wrong to let other people fight their own civil war.

"Then what if Boyi loses the exam?" "Then wouldn't the granary troops stored in him be consumed? The best situation is that the two sides will confront each other until October, perfectly missing the spring plowing and summer harvest, and starving in the coming year."

As for when you are hungry in the coming year, Zishou still has a thousand-year-old rich landlord's trick to make a fortune--Is it hungry, my father-in-law said, I have some dried fish here, can I lend you some?

And when the time comes, neither of the two sides in the confrontation will withdraw their strength at this critical moment, but will only frantically mortgage the chips in their hands, hoping to defeat the opponent, and after succeeding to the throne, they will slowly plan for it.

Whether it is reneging on debts or finding a way to beat the barbarians, it is a way to let the big merchants reward them to offset their debts. It is even possible that they will not even think about how to pay back the money at that time.

After all, when you owe the bank 100 million, you can't sleep, and when you owe the bank 100 billion, the bank can't sleep, right?

"If Boyi wins the exam, then he will have to send his sister here according to the agreement, and then cut off the three lands of Tang, Chong, and Taiyuan. At that time, the eight paths of Taihang will be in the hands of the widow. To understand, when Zhou's daughter gives birth, he will be enshrined in Jin, and then he will come out from Cheng Zhou."

Just kidding, Taihang Eight Paths and Tongguan were stuck dead. Chengzhou is the real western barrier of Dashang. As long as there is a little turmoil, he will enter the Guanzhong Plain from Tongguan, and he will not be able to beat Chengzhou in three months. The lonely city of Xiqi counted his son as a loser.

[Tongguan is located in the eastern section of the Guanzhong Plain, and Qishan is located in the western section of the Guanzhong Plain]

Trapped in an isolated city, the outside is the Guanzhong Plain and Pingchuan. That Zishou can perform too much for Ji Chang's family. If it weren't for Cheng Zhou, it would be the first line of defense against the barbarians. Their capital is in the westernmost section of the front. It shows that Chengzhou is not a place of singing and dancing, but a war frontline where wars are fought every day.

Its logistics supplies all come from production in the Guanzhong Plain. When the time comes, the egg bag will be pinched in Zishou’s hands, as if he is Qi Houqi. If he is told to go west, he will not dare to go east, and then the Guanzhong Plain will be divided into several countries. Dividing the princes of the Ji family and dividing their family power will allow these feudal states to continue to transfuse blood for Xiqi and withstand the counterattack of the barbarians.

It's a pity that this work has to wait for his son to do it, and Zishou feels that he must tell him to split up the princes, push En inside, king of the Outer Fortress, and the princes inside, mainly push En, and split them into small feudal states. , and externally, the king of Sai is the main one, with sufficient hematopoietic ability and combat effectiveness.

However, there is also a worry in this way, that is, if the king of Sai rebelled, and his brothers and princes were not strong enough, the small feudal states in the interior would not be able to withstand it at all-however, how can there be a perfect and perfect policy in this world Woolen cloth?Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Xiqi, Wen Wang Jichang, who was caught by a straight hook, is facing Jiang Ziya or Lu Shang's madness. I guessed Zishou's plan, but at least half of it, about Zhou's daughter's son, and Bo Yikao's plan.

In his opinion, this is simply passing the knife to King Shang.

"Your Majesty, this is really against the throne!" Lu Shang was heartbroken, what a fucking bad idea, "Your Majesty's concern lies in the present, not the future! Now that Shang is strong and Zhou is weak, if Shang How about cracking the land of the Zhou Dynasty and sealing it with the excuse of the young master!?"

When Lu Shang saw this plan, his mother thought of it. If the King of Shang didn't fall for the trick and didn't kill Bo Yikao, but directly entrusted Tang to Bo Yikao and Jin to him, then what should we do?

default?By default, the King of Shang can confer Bo Yi Kao, but which of the concubines cannot, so what about you, Xiqi?

No acquiescence, no acquiescence, can the father and son do it directly?That would be great fun.

Lu Shang didn't think about the barbarian barrier either. In his eyes, they are almost barbarians. As long as the Central Plains is unified, the barbarians are not something that can be killed if they are killed.

"The widow is taught, why do you teach the widow?"

"The top priority is to resume production, stick to Tongguan, stop contacting the princes of Shang, cancel all the bad ideas you had before, honestly send your daughter to marry, and then recall Boyi Kao's son, and replace it with a bastard who has no inheritance rights. past."

Now the system of prostitutes has gradually become popular. It is not that Zishou and Ji Chang do not want to choose capable sons to succeed to the throne, but that all nobles are beneficiaries of this system because they are all prostitutes.

If Zi Shou and Ji Chang choose to use their concubine as the first son, then the successor may face the scene of "the world is against each other". The land is divided after death.

This is not the way modern people play games, choose character cards, and only care about the value. If you really do this, you will die when you are alive. King Zhao Wuling has already demonstrated this method of developing paper people in mobile games to everyone. It's over, no matter if it's the posterity or the predecessors, don't learn from it.

As long as the concubine is exchanged and the concubine is sent over, then the King of Shang's plan will be broken in half. However, Lu Shang thinks so, but Ji Fa doesn't think so. When Bo Yikao comes back, he will be cold cold?

Therefore, Ji Fa is also in action at this time...

[PS1]

Today is an update, because of the power outage, this is the amount of two chapters.

And why can I still code?Because I have enough houses, I moved directly to another place with electricity to write... Unfortunately, I used a mobile phone hotspot on Modenet.

Chapter 47 Cloud neutron tricks

The spring in Modu came later than usual. The cold air from the North Pole collided with the warm and humid air, and was gradually pushed back to the north, bringing light rain, which hit the tiles on the palace with a crisp sound of rain.

The water droplets merged into small streams along the blue and black tiles, and slid down from the eaves with the water bell, splashing the neat white stone steps in front of the door.

In this cold and humid climate, Modu unsurprisingly experienced intensive typhoid symptoms. The erratic weather combined with the humid living environment, starting from the slaves, caught colds one after another, and then quickly spread to each other. Influenza plague It began to spread from the slave shacks outside the city.

The witch priests lit up the herbs, trying to use the aroma to blow away the "miasma" in the air to stop the plague. There were also a series of human sacrifice activities at the temple. The sick were sacrificed—it was better to directly sacrifice the infected than to sacrifice healthy people and turn them into more serious plague corpses.

This is the simplest and most thorough solution to eliminate the plague after countless years of struggle between humans and diseases. Kill all the infected people, throw them into the fire and burn them to ashes, and there will be no plague.

However, this kind of plague that comes from the climate and seasons is difficult to completely stop in this way, so Zishou can only sit back and watch the number of patients in the city increase day by day, although he tried to get everyone to drink Banlangen (Isatis root ) soaking in water, drinking dandelion tea, and the Lan Tang (herbal soup) prescribed by the witch priests. However, many nobles still fell ill.

"Damn~" There is definitely no western medicine for colds at the moment, and antibiotics and salicylic acid have little effect on colds. The scariest story is that most diseases, including colds, are more common in this era than in modern times. Much deadlier.

The so-called modern people traveling through ancient times will bring a great plague is basically purely unfounded or self-important. Unless the traverser is infected with some modern high-speed infectious virus and he does not know it, otherwise it will not cause any major plagues at all. plague.

Because the daily miscellaneous bacteria and microorganisms carried by modern people are like the difference between sheep and wolves compared with the gadgets of this era. As for the so-called immunity, what should I say?

In fact, when you face these things, your immune system is not as effective as the ancients.Modern people actually live in an "too clean" environment most of the time, and specific immunity is time-sensitive and difficult to inherit.

The phenomenon of permanent specific immunity is actually very rare, not to mention the natural immunity acquired by the immune system every day, even if you get vaccinated, you can only manage it for a year or two at most.

In fact, on the contrary, the ancients traveled through modern times and would immediately bring a devastating plague to mankind. Otherwise, why are everyone worried about the frozen microorganisms under the Antarctic glaciers?

To give the simplest example, the modern smallpox virus has been extinct in nature, and the new generation has hardly been vaccinated with vaccinia. Once the ancients brought the smallpox virus, the scene would become very scary. Smallpox can attach itself to clothes and other things. Two years, still contagious.

However, if modern people wear clothes to the era of Zishou, they may die of plague or disease within five days. Why?Because there is Vibrio cholerae in the water body, mosquitoes generally carry malaria parasites and denden fever.

Not to mention that the bacteria carried by ordinary people at this time are much more lethal than those on modern people. This is why modern people go to the African rainforest without taking various antibiotics and medicines, and then eat and drink indiscriminately. Just have to send it.

Those viruses and microorganisms that have killed their hosts and become extinct in the long river of history are all alive and kicking at this time. Therefore, Zishou is almost helpless in the face of this disease that has begun to intensify.

He doesn't know herbal medicine, and he doesn't know how many herbs are in Xiaochaihu Decoction. These herbal prescriptions can't be used just by saying a few herbs, and need to add or subtract herbs according to the condition, constitution and other conditions.

The simplest solution to this disease cannot be popularized at all. The simplest way is to let everyone live in a dry house, and then it is best to take a hot bath immediately after going out in the rain, and then use Wipe your hair with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the gutters and houses at the same time, and maintaining personal hygiene, these can suppress the rapid emergence of new patients to a considerable extent. However, in this era, the cost of boiling water for bathing is not even affordable by the nobles .
