[231] Bright Road

The next day, May 7th.

Outside the main city.

Twenty driver instructors are training the newly selected drivers.

It’s not difficult to learn how to ride a motorcycle, just like starting a car with a half-clutch.

And now that we are learning from three-wheeled motorcycles, we don’t need to build a bicycle first to train our balance. All we need to do is master the gear shifting and have hands.

"Start in first gear, with the highest torque. You, you, you... the eight of you come up and watch my demonstration."

The old master got on the bus and called eight more people to climb onto the back of the truck.

As the engine roared, with almost no effort, the car body swayed slightly and started running forward.

Countless people in the venue exclaimed.

Not far away, the onlookers were even more stunned.

"Eight people... no, nine people in total can run so easily?"

"The most powerful war horse in the cavalry army, it will be difficult to carry two people!"

A group of war group leaders who stayed behind in the Kingdom of God were shocked, and among them, even a little kid was about to leak out——

"This, isn't this more fun than war horses?"

"Dear uncles and uncles, have you ever thought that if everyone in the army replaced this 'land sacred weapon', they could easily travel hundreds of kilometers a day without getting tired."

"One vehicle can carry 9 people, and now 500 of them will be assembled one after another..."

"Fifty-nine and sixty-four, that's a total of 6,400 people!"

When Zhou Ruoyu was excited, a cold voice sounded in his ears, "How much is five-nine?"

"Six...six, five?" Zhou Ruoyu raised his head and looked at Xiaohua with a sad face, "Third sister, I forgot."

"Forgot to watch the excitement here? Go back to study!"

Zhou Ruoyu slipped away in ashes.

A group of war group leaders smiled apologetically and asked, "Xiaohua, is it really possible for this sacred weapon to replace the war horse in the future?"

Xiaohua is not sure either.

But she knows that war horses can march regardless of most terrains, but this land sacred weapon needs a certain road foundation.

Even if it is not the stone road paved in the 10 cities of the Kingdom of God now, it still needs to be a smooth dirt road.

In addition, the war horses only need to be raised on grass when going on an expedition, using local materials.

What about the Mechanical Sacred Artifact?

Gasoline transportation is a problem, and iron cans containing gasoline must be mass-produced.

The tires of tricycles are all created by our Lord.

However, Xiaohua knows that it is a rubber compound. As far as the current equilibrium is concerned, it has neither natural raw materials nor can it be extracted artificially.

Compared with war horses, mechanical holy weapons are very expensive to use.

And expand your imagination.

One day, the road will really penetrate the earth, which also means that the glory of equilibrium has enveloped every corner.

Will there still be wars by then?

Oh, yes, there is a bad land full of sin on the other side of the ocean, waiting for the purification and baptism of balance.

Thinking of this, Xiaohua said: "As long as the people of the Kingdom of God do not disobey our Lord and True God, and practice hard to balance the scientific divine power, not to mention this land sacred weapon, one day, when you go out to conquer the ocean, you can ride on a huge ship that breaks the waves.

Or climb to the realm of the sky and look down at the suffering sentient beings..."

As for now.

By using a fleet of machinery to increase transportation capacity, Xiaohua is confident that by the end of the year, the roads in 10 cities will be connected and heading towards the big city of Hohokam No. 11.

Our Lord has issued a decree.

In the next year, a total of more than 4,000 mechanical sacred artifacts will be blessed.

After the large-scale development of the east, the east and west of the Kingdom of God will be connected and continue to the south. Resources and minerals from various places will be gathered, and the industrial age will truly come.

It's approaching noon.

My Lord and the Witch have come.

The group boarded the Sacred Artifact of Balance and flew to the No. 2 city, Sacramento.

The Sacramento River is now not covered by water conservancy projects and has abundant water.

A ferry terminal has been built in Ayutthaya No. 2.

When everyone arrived, the craftsmen of the people were carrying supplies to the ships, and there were countless fully loaded ships going down the river.

Destination——

San Francisco.

"The main health city has begun groundbreaking. 5,000 people have been dispatched to No. 2 City to start construction. It is expected that in about two months, a large city with a capacity of 100,000 "temporary residences" can be built."

After hearing the report, Zhou Li'an nodded and expressed satisfaction.

It is designed for temporary residence first, and there is no need to consider one house per house, it is all designed for collective residence.

The time is just right.

It will be put into use in mid-July, when people return from Africa and can start vaccination and quarantine for the entire population.

After the quarantine is over, Ayutthaya will continue to be put into use.

It seems that China is constantly redeploying manpower, and there are vacancies in every city...

Forty thousand cavalry went out to fight.

On the 12th, the great city was established, and another 40,000 people moved.

Subsequently, Xiaohua has come up with a support construction plan for the "Eastern Development"...

Each city will select 5,000 people, and a total of more than 50,000 people will serve as leaders to lead the people of the south to open up wasteland.

At that time, not all the cavalry will return, and a certain number of manpower will need to be left to ensure the stability of the city-state alliance.

In other words, with a population of one million in the Kingdom of God, there will be a deficit of nearly 150,000 people.

However, this part of the deficit will be made up by the people of the city-state alliance, and even more large cities will be built one after another to accommodate residents.

Because not everyone is sent to the east for construction.

Some people still need to migrate to reach the 10 cities of the Kingdom of God. One is to fill the gap in productivity...

The California Valley is one of the breadbaskets of North America, and it now has a complete infrastructure. It is impossible to let it be abandoned, but it must continue to be built.

The other is to allow the New Balance people to integrate into the Kingdom of God as soon as possible and condense their faith.

Therefore, 150,000 people left and 300,000 new people came back to complete the ethnic and cultural integration with the old Hexiang people.

There is absolutely no need to worry about too much urban construction.

After a period of stability, the population will surely experience explosive growth.

After a round of inspection in Big City No. 2, and interviews with the printing research team and others, the H225 was created out of thin air and took off, overlooking the construction site of San Francisco City.

Finally, turn south to the oil plant area.

With the modern engine materials in place, the importance of fuel output has once again increased infinitely.

After a round of inspection, it was already dusk when we returned to the main city.

Returning to the present world, Zhou Li'an contacted Barbara to inquire about the vaccine output and asked her to rush the dash8 order again.

Everything is ready, but when something happens, the plane does not arrive, it would be funny.

Otherwise, if you miss this time, you will have to wait until 4 years later.



Tepanix.

A house in the urban area.

The Polybomar brothers looked embarrassed.

"Brother, tomorrow is the last day." The young man gritted his teeth angrily, "Why don't you let me kill him tonight?"

"Every city-state is in chaos, but I can always find a way to escape."

Poliboma shook his head bitterly, "If Telcante wants to rob my property, his brother must have given instructions. If something happens to him, will his brother let me go?"

"..." The young man remained silent again.

The two of them had a sleepless night.

Only in the early morning, the servants at home hurriedly came to report, "Master, Terkant is here!

"

Polypoma took a deep breath, his face full of compassion, "I understand, let them wait in front of the warehouse."

Wait until the slave leaves.

He looked at his cronies and said, "This matter is over. At least we have no losses and still have a lot of profits. If you can't control your emotions, don't go out."

After a night of inner torture, the young man finally accepted the fact, "I know, brother! I won't argue with him, I will go with you."

When the two came to the warehouse.

Terkant stood before them with more than a dozen people, and there was no need for any arrogant words. When he was led to the door of the warehouse, the outcome of the two sides was already determined.

He took out the parchment scroll again and said, "Polypoma, my brother, we will sell it at the market price as we discussed three days ago!"

"Okay! But I want to leave some of the food and herbs that I need." Polypoma stopped struggling.

Food for the family and the servants was left behind, and both parties began to inventory the supplies.

Telkant was the first to pay for a bag of "feather coins", which are large-denomination tokens circulating in the city-state alliance.

What's more, there are two boxes of copperware and jewelry.

These vessels, which are not easy to forge, are the hard currency among city-states and can be exchanged for extremely high value no matter where they go.

The transaction is completed.

One of them left with a smile on his face, while the other also showed a bit of relief.

Polypoma patted his confidant on the shoulder and said, "I haven't rested all night, so have a good sleep! When I repay the borrowed goods, I will give you what you deserve."

The young man smiled and said, "There's no rush! I want to go to the outer city first and pick up my mother! There will be chaos, and I'm afraid something will happen!"

Wait until the young man leaves.

Polybomas did not think any more, entered the room, and fell asleep.

But under the surface relief, the depression in his heart made him toss and turn, always in a state of half-dream and half-awake...

Not only was it unable to relieve the fatigue of the night, but it was like being suppressed by a dream demon. My whole body ached and I would moan in my sleep from time to time.

"Master, master..."

Calls and slaps wake him up.

He sat up almost instantly, threw the slave's hand away angrily, and then gasped for air while yelling, "You idiot with no long memory!"

"Didn't I say, don't bother me?"

Seeing that he was furious and sweating profusely, the servant looked ferocious. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and trembled.

Only then did Polybomar glance outside the house. Dusk was getting dark and it was about to be night.

Feeling hungry again, he looked at the slave and asked, "Is Oyer back?"

"The master's brother sent a message saying that he will not return until tomorrow."

Polypoma wondered, "What's going on?"

The slave said: "Someone wants to see the master."

"Who is it?"

"He wouldn't say his name."

"Then you came to wake me up? You idiot!

"Polippo rode down to the ground and kicked the slave down hard.

Immediately, he walked out of the room.

The slave who fell to the ground had long been accustomed to all this. He stood up in an instant and chased after him. He said humbly: "Because I am not sure of his identity, I asked him to wait in the small room in the side hall."

Poliboma was too lazy to respond and just walked through the corridor, turned around and headed to the side hall.

He was also wondering in his mind who would come to visit.

Most likely, they were merchants who wanted to collect debts after the chaos in Tapdong.

But that's fine, it saves him another trip to the house.

But one thing is very firm in his heart——

Borrow and return goods.

He has made reservations in advance today.

Those who borrow money will naturally pay it back.

As for whether the current currency still has the purchasing power of the original, that is none of his business.

This is the nature of business, everyone must bear risks.

It has nothing to do with whether the other party reached out to help in the first place; if you don't get the business opportunity, you will lose money.

I have paid you the agreed interest, so you should be satisfied.

Otherwise, if I hadn't borrowed the money, you wouldn't even be able to earn this extra interest.

Poliboma adjusted his emotions in his mind, already raised his aura, and was about to get business done.

However.

As soon as he walked into the side hall, he frowned.

A figure from behind who was unfamiliar to him was playing with the decorations and utensils placed in the side hall.

Although they are all worthless...

But the problem is, there is no one left in the side hall?

What if this is a thief? Wouldn’t it be that the property in this house has already been plundered?

Poliboma was angry at getting out of bed and glared fiercely at the slave behind him.

When he regained consciousness, he let out a hearty laugh and strode forward, "Hahaha, my friend! I kept you waiting for a long time!"

When the man heard the sound, he turned around immediately, but he didn't look enthusiastic, but looked at Poliboma with a half-smile -

"friend?"

When Poliboma saw the appearance of the visitor, his expression had solidified, and his words became stumbling: "Big, big, big... Sir?"

It's hard to say these two words.

He trembled again, turned around and shouted: "Get out! Oh, no, go to the main hall to prepare food and drinks. I want to receive... distinguished guests!"

The slave fled as if he were being pardoned.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Poliboma no longer concealed his emotions and knelt down in front of the old man in front of him——

"Lord Qipoche!

"

"You, why did you come just now?"

Qiboche was quite surprised by his behavior.

Of course there is a hierarchy between the two of them. Qiboche is Tugo's housekeeper and his status is very important.

But the ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping has never happened before.

The relationship between the two is more like a cooperative relationship, but Qi Boche occupies the first and second place.

And from this move, it seems that a lot of things can be learned.

Qi Boqie didn't criticize anything, just listened to what he said.

When Polypoma got up, he asked Qi Boqie to take a seat, and then went straight to the point:

"Sir, I have hoarded a large amount of materials and goods according to your instructions, but there is a villain in this city. His brother is an official in the city, so he uses his power to oppress me!"

"Just today, he bought all the goods in my hand at the market price, and I am unwilling to accept it!

"

"Please, sir, make the decision for me!"

"If I can recover my losses, I am willing to give 30% of it as an offering to...Lord Tugo!"

Qiboche is just a housekeeper and servant.

Without the authorization of his master, it would not be enough.

So Polypoma knew that the focus was on Tugo.

However, he also understood very well that if he wanted Tugo to take action, he could only ask Qipoche.

Therefore, it is necessary to kneel down and worship just now.

And now...

Just waiting for Qi Bo to cut the price!

The promised 30% of the offering is for Tugo. As for how much Qiboche wants, the two of them can discuss it.

Polypoma's eyes trembled, looking at the old man expectantly.

However, seeing that Qi Boqie's expression remained unchanged and still half-smiling, he became even more anxious -

I thought to myself, could it be that this old guy deliberately delayed coming to the door and wanted to raise the price?

But in fact, he had already returned to the country of Tepanix, and he was only waiting for himself to be in trouble before taking action at the critical moment!

Because of his clear mind, it was not difficult for Polybomas to do anything.

Because instead of letting Telkante get rich, it would be better to distribute profits and dividends to Tugo and Tsipoche, which would allow him to earn more.

At the same time, I also have a background.

So he said seriously: "Sir, I know that the business opportunity I found this time depends entirely on your guidance, so you can just ask, and I should give you a full report..."

"But I just ask that you can say a few nice words in front of Lord Tugo so that he can support me and not be harmed by that evil person!"

So far.

Seeing the old man's smile getting thicker, Poliboma shook his head slightly and said, "If you are looking for someone to rely on and support behind, Tugo can't do it!"

"I can show you a brighter path!"

"Oh, yes, I have to tell you first..."

"Tugo——"

"Dead!
