Chapter 72 Item Refining Competition
First update today
=======
"This weapon refining competition is a competition to select the Minister of Works."
"Minister of the Ministry of Works?" Liu Tianya was shocked when he heard this familiar name. But his face remained unchanged and he asked in a deep voice, "Is this a fresh word? Is it an official position?"
"Yes, it's an official position." The shop owner did not doubt that he had, and replied with a smile, "When the emperor just issued this decision, no one knew what position the minister of the Ministry of Works was. There was an explanation on the imperial list. After reading it, everyone realized that the minister of the Ministry of Works was the official in charge of all craftsmen. Whether it was a carpenter, a blacksmith or other profession, they were all under his control."
"That's not all. All the official constructions in the kingdom are under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Works. Guest, think about it, whether it is the fortifications on the border, the maintenance and repair of the county town, no matter what is it, it is not a fat or shortage. Now, it is left to one person to take charge of it, who is not jealous?"
Liu Tianya nodded. The errands like the Minister of Works have been stolen throughout the ages. Its popularity is second only to the Minister of Personnel who is in charge of the promotion of civil and military officials in the world. He is now able to confirm that there is also a person who is reincarnated from the earth like himself in this northern kingdom.
However, Liu Tianya was still puzzled by so many people who ran to Maple Leaf City to compete in the trial equipment. He asked, "There is only one minister of the Ministry of Works. Since even the master craftsman has come, what are those who are not master craftsmans? They must be unable to compete with the master craftsman."
There are no spare rooms in the store now, and the store owner is clean and tidy, so happy that someone chats with him. He laughed and said, "There is indeed only one minister of the Ministry of Works, but he is in charge of such a big business, so he can't be without helpers. Even if he moves the officials who are in charge of this business in the past, there are still many people missing. In other words, setting up the position of Minister of Works is equivalent to setting up thousands of new positions."
"So that's it." Liu Tianya smiled, "I would like to ask more questions. When will this weapon refining competition start and end? Where is the competition location? I want to go and see the fun."
The shop owner smiled and replied, "The weapon refining competition will start three days later. The competition location is on Jiufeng Mountain in the east of the city. As for when the competition will end, it is impossible to say. There are so many people who have to be divided into a higher level, so the time is not easy to determine."
The shop owner paused and then said, "But I advise the customer not to watch the fun."
"Oh, why is this? Because I am a foreigner?"
"That's not." The shop owner explained, "There are too many people who want to go to Jiufeng Mountain to watch the weapon refining competition. The mountain has been surrounded by people and has been sold for tickets. Now it is the same as the guest rooms in our inn, so it's hard to get a lot!"
"I understand, thank you for your advice from the shopkeeper." Liu Tianya smiled and bowed, and took Liu Tianying and Gu Lingshan to leave the inn.
"It seems that there are people who are reincarnated in my world, maybe they are from the same country as me." Liu Tianya said as he walked. He used secret words to spread the sound, and was not afraid that others would hear it. Now he is not sure which country the person belongs to. After all, there was more than one country in ancient times where the position of Minister of Works was held.
Liu Tianying asked, "In other words, the special weapons that Brother Hua mentioned were made by this person?"
"It's probably." Liu Tianya replied, "In our world, we focus on technological power and are good at making various tools. We have even developed offensive and defensive weapons that can be operated remotely. After these years, we may not be able to make fully automated weapons now."
"So powerful?" Liu Tianying stuck out her tongue and said, "Then aren't we very behind here?"
"You can't say that." Liu Tianya smiled, "If you talk about technology and the use of external objects, Qingming Continent is definitely not as good as that world. But for the exploration of the potential that people have, that world is far inferior to that world. If all the war weapons there are moved here, they will definitely be invincible in the world. But if Qingming Continent removes the restrictions, all the strong people can continue to grow and develop, whether they are cultivating demons, immortals or ghosts, as long as they have a group of super strong people, those war weapons will lose their effect."
Gu Lingshan interrupted and asked, "Brother Tianya, since that person is your fellow countryman, are you planning to help him or continue to help Brother Hua? Or don't help each other?"
"Of course I'm helping Brother Hua, that person has nothing to do with me." Liu Tianya smiled, "But, I don't think Brother Hua needs my help. No matter how powerful that person is, he will never be able to copy the weapons and equipment from that world from the Qingming Continent, and at best make some simple imitations. With Brother Hua's intelligence, he is enough to deal with it."
"Why is this?" Gu Lingshan asked in surprise, "Brother Tianya, haven't you ever said that you have weapons that can destroy the world? We don't have that ability here."
Since he made a breakthrough again by the Hongbo Lake and his mental state and cultivation have been greatly improved, Liu Tianya often likes to talk to his two women about the past life. This is not only to recall the joys of the past life, but also to explore some great ideas - whether it is here or the past life, whether it is cultivation or technology, it is all evolved from studying the great way of heaven and earth. It is just one resorts to external things and the other seeks oneself. Looking at the knowledge he has learned in the past life from a different perspective is also quite inspiring to his current cultivation.
Liu Tianya smiled and said, "That kind of powerful weapon cannot be made in our Qingming Continent. Whether it is in terms of craftsmanship or other aspects, we are far behind here. After all, the direction of development is very different."
Before Liu Tianya's reincarnation, most countries were not able to manufacture nuclear bombs, not to mention the Qingming Continent, which did not pay any attention to technological power, who could slightly integrate the road of heaven and earth into the manufacturing process, were noble masters. In Liu Tianya's eyes, if the things made by masters were replaced by assembly lines, they could be mass-produced on Earth, which was nothing.
"Is it impossible for our Qingming Continent to develop like that world?"
Gu Lingshan's simple question suddenly woke Liu Tianya up. He stopped and muttered to himself. Then, he slapped his head suddenly, and blamed himself: "Why am I suddenly stupid? Did that person have to be reincarnated with me? If he had been here for hundreds of years in advance..."
Liu Tianya became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He immediately changed the direction of his journey and turned toward the south of the city.
"Let's go find someone!"
