With points dwindling, and only 463 points remaining, there are only 4 more draws possible.
Moreover, there are many types of cars available, and Gu Mu didn't want to waste any more points.
After all, he still needs to save his points to exchange for dragon scales and chaos essence when he gets back. These two items are the products of the upgrade. He doesn't know if, after eating them, they will be like the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, where you only reach a certain progress level and need to spend more points to complete the process.
Having learned his lesson the hard way, Gu Mu decided to save some points for later use.
The official in charge of supervision whispered a few words to the technicians, then walked excitedly to Gu Mu's side: "Your Majesty, with these two large machines, the progress of our project will be greatly shortened. This trade route will be completed in less than two years."
Two years is already a very fast time. Before Gu Mu brings out excavators and bulldozers, it may take eight or nine years to complete the construction.
"Once it's completed, people can use this route to export cloth and grain. The trade route will be mostly direct, greatly reducing the time it takes to reach neighboring countries. Moreover, it has several branches connecting to several countries, making both importing and exporting very convenient."
Hearing the official say that, the working people worked even harder.
Not long ago, the price of the magical loom dropped significantly, and now almost every ordinary household has one.
Moreover, it seems that the Lord of Hidden City has received some kind of coercion from His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom.
The magical loom was sold only to the people of the South.
Gu Mu also issued a series of policies to strictly control the outflow of the magical loom.
As a result, the magical loom existed only in the south.
The cloth woven by the magical loom is smoother and silkier, and more efficient. It has already gained a small reputation in the world, and people in many countries prefer to buy cloth from the South.
Therefore, despite almost everyone owning a magical loom, the textile industry in the south did not experience internal competition.
Once this trade route is completed, exports will increase, and the workers' families will be able to earn more money by selling cloth.
Therefore, they not only get paid for their work now, but they can earn even more money as soon as the trade route is completed.
When Gu Mu heard the word "two years," he nodded. Although it wasn't fast, it was about right for infrastructure.
However, the Southern Kingdom is just a small place after all. If there were more excavators and bulldozers, the construction of this trade route would be completed much faster.
Moreover, Gu Mu's plans for the South were not limited to these.
In addition to trade routes, he also wanted to build several paved roads connecting the cities adjacent to the capital.
Then, he won't have to travel by carriage anymore; he can take Chen Ling out for a ride in an excavator.
After all, machines can never run as fast as horses.
So—he wants to restart his neglected career and earn more points.
Now he has more points, but he also needs more points than before.
"Your Majesty, having heard of your arrival, I have already arranged an inn for you. It is now time for dinner, so I will take Your Majesty there for your meal."
After the official finished explaining the construction of the trade route, he respectfully addressed Gu Mudao.
Several brand-new carriages drove up from not far away and stopped in front of Gu Mu.
The official was a thoughtful man. Knowing that Gu Mu's horse was exhausted after days of travel, he replaced it with a better horse and prepared a spacious carriage in advance.
The official knew that these were simply things he should do as a subject.
He didn't expect to earn a word of praise from the emperor through these details.
But at least, His Majesty should be pleased with his thoughtfulness, right?
The official lowered his head, a hint of pride creeping into his mind.
But to his surprise, Gu Mu didn't even glance at the carriage he had prepared. With a wave of his hand, just like those excavators and bulldozers that appeared out of thin air, a bright yellow electric vehicle suddenly appeared on the ground.
Although it's called an electric vehicle, it actually relies on solar power for charging.
The system is quite thoughtful in this respect, knowing that charging devices were lacking in ancient times.
The officials and workers stared in astonishment at Gu Mu's ability to conjure objects out of thin air.
He quickly realized, "It must be that His Majesty tricked him out of the Hidden City Lord again. Otherwise, why would the Hidden City Lord be chasing after His Majesty?"
Gu Mu stepped onto the electric scooter.
The official looked at the oddly shaped two-wheeled contraption, somewhat puzzled and confused...
This thing has only two small wheels and no horses pulling it, so how can it be faster or more comfortable than a four-wheeled carriage?
Could it be that His Majesty intends to put reins on these two wheeled contraptions and have the horses drag them?
But this looks easy to flip... Isn't Your Majesty playing with your own safety?
While the officials and workers were still puzzled, Gu Mu waved his hand: "Ling'er, come here!"
Shen Ling also looked curiously at the thing Gu Mu was sitting on. It was small and cute, and she was also very curious about what it was for.
But since she was wearing a skirt, she could only sit at an angle, and then she reached out and put her arm around Gu Mu's waist.
Gu Mu stepped on the gas, and the electric scooter roared forward.
The officials never expected that this little gadget, though unremarkable in appearance, could run on its own without being pulled by horses.
Two wheels are not only faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but even faster than a horse running without a carriage.
Moreover, although the carriage was bumpy, the little thing His Majesty was sitting in was very stable.
Gu Mu quickly drove away, leaving the officials and workers far behind.
Behind them, a group of guards galloped on horseback, trying their best to catch up with the Emperor and Empress, who were riding in an electric cart at full speed.
Perhaps because it was her first time riding an electric scooter, Shen Ling seemed a little nervous sitting behind Gu Mu.
She clung tightly to Gu Mu's waist, as if afraid of falling.
But being strong-willed by nature, she just bit her lip and didn't utter a word of fear.
The electric scooter accidentally ran over a rock.
Gu Mu and Shen Ling, who were sitting in the car, were both bounced up by Xiao Xiao.
Because she was sitting at an angle, her balance wasn't very good to begin with. When she bounced, Shen Ling felt a momentary loss of weight, as if she was almost thrown off the electric scooter.
She unconsciously shifted her body slightly, moving a little closer to Gu Mu.
She tightened her grip on Gu Mu's waist.
Gu Mu looked down at the two jade-like hands that were hugging him and crossed in front of him.
Because of the excessive force, my fingertips turned slightly white.
