Chapter 36: If you want to be rich, build roads first
What do you call this? This is called planting willows by accident and getting a good shade!
An official spoke with great force.
"Master Miao, you are so confused! If the people think that making money is easy and abandon their fields, it will be a disaster for Jing State!"
Miao Run burst into tears, she was a sinner.
She did care about the people, but she also harmed them.
"Your Majesty, I deserve death. Please forgive me. It is too late to regret!"
Miao Run is more troublesome than Yu Fen.
You could say she was greedy for money, and she was indeed greedy.
Although she was not greedy for money, she did deceive the people and almost caused a disaster.
Jing Chengji was anxious. Land and food were the lives of the people and the most important things for her Jing Kingdom. If someone really abandoned the fields, why had she never received any news!
[How can I put it? This is a blessing in disguise. The people who followed Miao Run weren't particularly evil. The people thought Miao Run just wanted them to save more money, but land was their lifeblood. Even if a few bad guys tried to persuade the people to give up their land, hoping to earn more money by bringing in more people, the people, though somewhat tempted, ultimately refused to agree!]
[Thankfully, this is Jing Country, where information spreads slowly, and without permission, many people can't leave their own territory, so no further damage was caused!]
[People only paid ten cents per village or town, and nothing more! In fact, that was the most they could do. The transfer of information was always limited, and Miao Run's influence was limited to the towns and villages he once ruled and the area around the capital!]
Jing Chengji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen.
But right now, we have to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Jing Chengji twisted the warm jade around his waist and had an idea in his mind.
"Miao Run, you may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. I demand that you leave immediately and return all the silver you swindled from the people. You must also admit your deception to them. If you return the silver and the people forgive you, you may return to Jingdu. At that time, I will punish you based on your performance!"
"Miao Run, can you do it?"
Miao Run shouted with trembling lips.
"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"
Although this period may take several years or even longer, it is the best thing for Miao Run.
[The person who tied the bell must untie it. This is indeed a good idea! ]
Jinghan called.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials followed suit and shouted.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Jinghan only realized it belatedly.
[Although I don't know the recipe for glass, I do know the recipe for cement! As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first!]
Jingcheng Ji paused and asked, what is cement?
Is it something used to build roads?
She thought carefully about Jinghan's six words.
She clapped her hands suddenly, "Great, that's great."
Isn’t that right?
If the road is open, it doesn’t matter whether people’s lives will be easier or not, at least it will be much more convenient for them to travel in and out.
Moreover, if there really is something that can build a flat road surface, then it will be of great benefit to the military with no harm at all!
All the civil and military officials in the court also wanted to know what this thing called cement was!
But how should I tell my mother? I can't tell her, "Mom, I was actually split in two, one half on Blue Star, the other half in Azure!" That sounds terrifying. How could someone be split in two and still not die? If I tell her that when I was on Blue Star, there was a cement field that could be poured to create a smooth road! My mother would probably think I was an evil spirit and kill me. Would she think I had taken over her daughter's body?! It's so difficult. Too difficult~"
Jing Chengji: Just tell me, I will believe you if you tell me, just tell me quickly~
All the civil and military officials in the court said: Don’t worry about this, just talk about it first!
[Host, I can make it old. You can write down the cement recipe on a piece of paper. After I make it old, you can give it to your mother!]
[Tongzi, you still have this ability?!]
The golden tabby kitten meowed in grievance, and the sound was like a clip!
Meow~ Meow~ Meow~
Jinghan was very happy.
The system is annoyed. Changing to this cat skin has this side effect. Sometimes I can't help but behave like a cat.
However, the system felt Jinghan's love, and she suddenly felt that this was also good.
[Okay, okay, I was wrong. Tongzi is the best!]
[Meow meow (That's)! ]
【Thank you, Tongzi! 】
You're welcome~
Jing Chengji rubbed his hands, feeling anxious. He didn't know when Han'er would give her the "ancient book". Time waits for no one!
Minister of Works Ge Da Wa had a beaming smile on her face; the spring of her Ministry of Works had arrived.
Officials from other departments: That’s not necessarily true!
I didn’t say that your Ministry of Industry must be responsible for it. When the time comes, whoever is capable will get the job.
Ge Da Wa looked around vigilantly, feeling that someone was targeting her.
This won’t do. No one can take her job from the Ministry of Industry!
However, all the civil and military officials in the court were still curious. They wanted to hear more about this cement and learn more about it.
Jinghan was happy just now, but now his face showed some hesitation.
"System, if I use technology that's different from this world, will it accelerate the course of history and be detrimental to Jing Nation?"
Jing Chengji and all the civil and military officials in the court felt a pang of fear in their hearts.
System 3657 subconsciously looked at Guoyun, who had been squatting invisibly beside the pillar of the hall.
Grandma Guoyun smiled and shook her head, then nodded, and then directly transmitted her meaning into the core of the system.
[Hmm? System? Why aren't you talking?]
[Host, I'm here. I was just deducing!]
[Host, don't worry. Everything you bring out will benefit the people. Besides, even if you want to bring out airplanes or cannons, this world's technological level is not enough to produce them!]
Flying chicken?
Big bubble?
What is it?
It sounds like it's very powerful!
"As long as this world can be created, it doesn't matter if I take some things out in advance. On the contrary, it will help Jingguo become stronger. Is that what you mean?"
[Yes, host! Don't worry. Besides, I can also deduce it. If there really is any problem, we can just not bring it out!]
Jing Chengji and others finally put their worries to rest and were looking forward to the changes in Jing State in the future.
[Okay, okay, then I want to eat more melons. Tongzi, come on, melons!]
As soon as Jing Han finished speaking, both Jing Chengji, who was sitting in the upper seat, and the civil and military officials in the hall, felt their buttocks tighten and everyone's eyes wandered.
"You can't choose me, you can't choose me, you can't choose me..."
