Chapter 228 228. Talents
The busy Golden East Sea Port, Shouan City.
The burly Rock Guards and laborers worked together to transport the goods into the cabin.
"I heard that the weather in the East Continent is very bad and cold, so remember to wear more clothes."
"A sheepskin cape should be enough. You don't need so much!"
"The coldness of the East Continent is comparable to hell! Don't underestimate the weather there."
The elderly mother handed a heavy package to her daughter. There were many similar farewell scenes at the port.
There are more than two hundred scholars who decided to go to Donggang City this time.
Considering the huge population base of the Eternal Kingdom, it is just a tiny and insignificant part.
Most of these people are ordinary people who have a lot of knowledge but can only stay at the bottom of society and have no channels for promotion.
The class and system have never changed. No matter how outstanding a mortal is, he can never enter the class of spellcasters.
The high-level knowledge of the spellcaster civilization cannot be learned or accessed by ordinary people.
Scholars from various major schools realized that they had to find another way out and seek change.
The emergence of Fulinbao gave them a visible hope.
Everyone can realize the revolutionary significance of paper, not to mention the many alchemical supplies. Each one is a creation that ordinary people can use, without the involvement of magic.
It's like opening another door.
Radical scholars are eager to travel to the legendary alchemical kingdom to find out what is going on.
It just so happened that Fulinbao was also interested in attracting more talents, and the two sides hit it off.
That evening, the ship set sail.
"According to the regulations, if we choose to join Fulinbao, we may not be able to come back."
"Do you think the Central Continent is bad? Why do you want to go to the Eastern Continent?"
"For thousands of years, the world remains unchanged. If no one seeks change, there will be no possibility of progress at the bottom of this world, and it will only be an endless cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death. All living beings can only become the soil for the prosperity of the civilization of the casters."
"I think with paper carrying knowledge, our knowledge can be easily accumulated and passed on, and sooner or later the time for change will come."
"Maybe, but paper was not invented by us. Can you imagine that a territory with a population of just over 100,000 people has surpassed our Central Continent with a population of tens of billions in inventions? What does this mean? Aren't you curious?"
Suddenly, all the voices disappeared.
The ship entered the inner world and sailed in the interlayer of space.
Donggang City has entered the long rainy season in March.
The whole world seemed to become wet.
People living near Moon Lake suffered from the humidity, especially the older guards and servants, who often complained.
Therefore, Lowe had to organize people to do cupping. Combined with drug therapy and magic therapy, the effect can be said to be immediate.
The bathhouse also launched a sauna project, which was very popular among citizens.
Spring ploughing slowly came to an end during the rainy season. This year, the majority of farmers still choose to plant wheat, and many people also choose to plant some cash crops to supplement their lives.
Various fruits are very popular, such as sugarcane, which has the highest yield per mu. Many people also grow other fruits and vegetables. After five years of variety improvement, the watermelon flesh had already turned a deeper pink color when it was harvested last year. The taste has obviously improved a lot.
Maybe in a few years, it will look like what I remember.
Bananas and grapes are still the mainstream fruits and are very popular among the people. Even the pandas don't mind changing their taste occasionally.
Fruits such as durian, pineapple, mango, and lemon can currently only be imported from Donglin City.
Due to the repair of the coastal roads and the improvement of vehicles, it now only takes three days to travel from Donglin City to Donggang City, and the exchanges between the two sides have become more frequent.
With frequent commercial activities, towns along the way have benefited greatly.
Vegetable cultivation in greenhouses has achieved unexpected success. Vegetables can be eaten in the cold winter, making the whole winter less difficult.
After discussion, everyone decided to continue with the greenhouse project. It is expected that a 100-meter greenhouse will be built this year.
The growing prosperity of Donggang City directly drives the development of the entire territory.
Changes have taken place in every aspect of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Fulin Department Store opened branches in various towns and cities, mainly supplying daily necessities such as salt, sugar, wine, and paper. Small commodities such as matches were also popular.
The further invention of the lighter prepared the process of industrialization.
The territory is like a giant water-absorbing sponge, constantly absorbing foreign populations.
In addition to development, Lowe is most concerned about health issues, and the situation is quite serious.
The closer the villages and towns are to Donggang City, the better the sanitary conditions are, and the opposite is almost ignored. This is the feedback submitted by the caravan.
Fulinbao directly and publicly announced that urban sanitation would be included as the first factor in measuring the ability of the rulers, and hoped that the sanitation of each town would change within a few years.
"Master, are you sure you want to promote toilet paper?"
"I'm sure it's better to use soft paper like this than hard leaves."
"But it's too expensive! How can ordinary people afford it?"
"As long as we start using it, it will eventually become cheaper, and eventually ordinary people will be able to afford it."
Toilet paper is made of wheat straw and rice straw. The paper is thin and rough, making it difficult to record text. In Lowe's opinion, it is the best choice for going to the toilet.
People say it's a luxury, but once they use it, it's hard to change the habit.
No matter how rough the toilet paper is, it is much better than large leaves.
As the use of toilet paper continued to increase, Fulinbao handed over the toilet paper manufacturing industry chain to nearby towns.
Toilet paper workshops have been built in Dongwang Town and Hunter Town.
Lovey inspects Donggang City every day. After five years of development, the city’s potential can be said to have been completely exhausted, with almost no room left.
If we want to continue to develop, we are seriously lacking in research and technical talents.
This kind of people can only wait for time to accumulate slowly and emerge from the next generation, or discover talents from the newly-belonged territory.
Industrial development has reached a bottleneck.
If this continues, technological development will reach its limit and we will not be able to enter the next stage of the Industrial Revolution even after a few hundred years.
The most critical hydroelectric generators, thermal generators, and automobile fuel engines are simply impossible for Lovey to research and conquer by himself.
Even a sample is difficult to do.
The concepts can only be written on paper and wait for later generations to study them.
"Is that the end?" Lovi placed his hands on the frame of the meditation mirror, poked his face out of the mirror, and his eyes showed fatigue.
His abilities are limited.
If it weren't for the meditation mirror, if it weren't for the assistance of magic, I'm afraid even the current development would not be possible.
In other words, he is not satisfied.
In fact, no matter who it is, everyone is satisfied with the current development.
In just five years, we have almost completed a multi-level civilization leap.
Many people realize that the development of industrial technology will bring intuitive help to life.
"Master, the fleet of the Eternal Kingdom has brought a group of scholars." The attendant reported.
"Let's go and take a look." Lowe's mind moved.
