Chapter 57 Maybe This Is the Truth
System? What does that mean?
Emperor Jingxuan frowned and looked at the ministers below.
Several people pondered over it, and after a while they shook their heads, "I don't understand its meaning. I guess this word was only coined later, and now I really don't know what it is."
Emperor Jingxuan was a little annoyed. Why did they leave? He looked at the two little brats in the sky who were already holding tools to dismantle the car, and his teeth began to itch.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, so he could only look away, rub his forehead with his hand, and said to everyone, "Let's go to the front hall."
When the ministers arrived one after another, Emperor Jingxuan asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think of what was just said on the sky curtain?"
"Your Majesty, since the people on the sky curtain are our descendants, then the things they are using now must be able to be manufactured. I implore Your Majesty to summon talented people from all over the world to jointly discuss the manufacture of the tools on the sky curtain." These are the words of Yu Kangsheng, the Minister of Works.
He no longer hid, and took two steps forward excitedly, "Some things are really useful. For example, if Daqi can have a flat road, it will be very convenient for traveling and transporting goods. Also, other things may be complicated, but the faucet from the other day has already been made by a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry."
The structure of a faucet is not as complicated as that of a car sweeper or a washing machine. After everyone brainstormed and discussed for an hour, we came up with an idea, and after some modifications, we now have a prototype.
At this moment, the two children on the skylight were dismantling the small car. He had just told the people below not to miss any details and to see how the car was made. If they knew how to make it, they would also be able to own such a magical device that could travel a thousand miles a day.
Just thinking about it, Yu Kangsheng's face turned red with excitement. There were so many good things on the sky.
"Your Majesty, think about the elevator that can take people up and down the stairs in a moment, think about the door lock that can be opened by just pressing a finger without a key, think about the light that is as bright as day. These are all good things."
Emperor Jingxuan was so excited by what he said, wasn't he? He was very envious of all these.
So he nodded, but before he could approve it, the Minister of Agriculture spoke first, "Your Majesty, these are external things, so there is no need to worry. The most urgent thing is the sweet potatoes that produce 10,000 catties per mu. If Daqi has such a high yield of grain, it will be a blessing for your majesty, the people, and Daqi."
The Minister of Revenue followed up and agreed, "I also think that finding the sweet potato is the top priority now. Last year, there was a severe drought in Jiangbei, and the people had no harvest and were displaced. Your Majesty was sympathetic. After the court provided disaster relief, they also exempted their taxes for two years. But in the first half of the year, there was an earthquake in southern Shanxi, and the court also exempted taxes in the disaster area and dispatched emergency supplies. But even so, there are still a large number of people who have no food to use and have become refugees. Now the treasury is empty, and if we don't find a way to make money, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to allocate money. Now we know that there is a grain that produces 10,000 catties per mu. If we can find it, it will be a blessing for me."
Yu Kangsheng was a little unhappy. "Then building roads is also a major event that benefits the country and the people. If the roads are unblocked, it will be much more convenient to transport goods from the south to the north, which will also generate revenue for the national treasury. Besides, Tianmu said that sweet potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty. Now we don't even have a shadow of them, and we can't make them by imagination. Tianmu refused to reveal more clues, so the yield of 10,000 catties per mu is just empty talk."
The Minister of Revenue said, "The national treasury is out of money, and Lord Yu still wants to build roads? Doesn't it cost money to build roads? You also said that goods from the south should be transported to the north, but that means all the roads from south to north must be built. Where will so much money come from? You can't cut the expenses of the soldiers in the Ministry of War."
My goodness, just one sentence dragged the Ministry of War and the generals who were originally indifferent and just watching the joke into the water.
"Your Majesty, I think finding sweet potatoes is the most important thing."
"Your Majesty, although the sky curtain did not reveal where the sweet potato is, it must be there now. As long as we send more people to search for it everywhere, we will definitely find it. Everyone in Daqi has seen the sky curtain and knows what the sweet potato looks like. It should be much easier to find it."
"I second the motion."
The ministers were arguing, and Emperor Jingxuan was very troubled.
Today's sky finally has a lot more information, but at the same time, this clue is only half, which is very sad.
Jinfeng Villa.
Jian Yunsang and the other two waited until the two children had gone far away before they started talking about Ah Shan with serious expressions.
"Is what Chao Chao is talking about the system?"
In today's information explosion society, even someone like He Nanzhou who doesn't use his phone much, after watching a few science fiction movies, knows the concept of cyberpunk, and the imagination of artificial intelligence and future technology. What's more, there are talents in this field among the He family. Even Song Zhen knows some concepts about what a system means.
Therefore, after doubting the fact that Chao Chao traveled back to ancient times, it is not impossible for another system to come up with one.
However, the thought of this possibility made them even more uneasy.
"Chao Chao said that after Ah Shan sent her back, she never showed up again." Jian Yunsang said, "It needs to accumulate energy to send Chao Chao back, so after it sent her back, does it mean that it ran out of energy and shut down?"
He Nanzhou nodded, "It's very likely. It said that it needs to do good deeds every day to accumulate energy. At least this shows that it has no malicious intentions."
"When Chao Chao disappeared, was it also the one who sent him away?" Song Zhen clenched her hands, her voice trembling. "Why did it send Chao Chao away instead of others? Will it send Chao Chao away again in the future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them fell silent, their bodies became tense, and they all exuded a low pressure.
This is exactly what He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang are worried about.
Yes, this system comes and goes without any warning. Who knows what its purpose is and what it will do.
He Nanzhou took a deep breath. "In fact, if you think positively, it may have good intentions towards Chao Chao. Two years ago, if it hadn't suddenly sent Chao Chao away, Chao Chao's life would have been in danger under the circumstances at that time."
Song Zhen asked, "Why did you send him back after two years? Chao Chao went to that Shangliu Village and suffered so much."
Jian Yunsang guessed, "Perhaps, the energy is exhausted?"
The three of them fell silent again. They actually felt that this might be the truth.
"What should we do now?" Song Zhen looked worriedly at Chao Chao who was dismantling the car enthusiastically not far away.
