I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 987 The Lost and Found Golden Hairpin
In the next few days, accompanied by Ning Yuke, Wei Changtian went to Tiangong Bureau and Datong City successively.

As the latter said, the development of the steam engine has now entered the "perfect" stage.

In other words, the Tiangong Bureau has been able to manufacture a machine that "can convert water vapor into kinetic energy", but there are big shortcomings in terms of stability, conversion rate, service life, etc. , need further improvement.

When will it be improved and a steam engine that can be put into use will be developed, Wei Changtian doesn't know.

But anyway, he promised a big reward in public, promising that once the research and development is successful, all the craftsmen in the entire "steam engine workshop" can enjoy all the treatment of the third grade.

The third grade is equivalent to the vice-provincial level in the previous life.

Although there is only salary and no official position, this is definitely an unprecedented feat.

You must know that these craftsmen are ordinary people without any fame or cultivation. Normally speaking, let alone the third rank, even the youngest rank nine has no chance for them.

So this is completely a soaring class transition.

Of course, such a promise will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some "conservative" officials, who feel that no matter how important the steam engine is, Wei Changtian should not destroy the official system like this.

Song Pu said that he never received any official information from Lingmen Temple, but he heard from a close friend in the temple that Chu Xianping seemed to have left Lingmen Temple and took several second-rank eminent monks with him.

Suddenly, Comrade Xiao Xu's voice stopped abruptly, and his movements also paused.

The smoke at sunrise, the lights at sunset, the street vendors, the bustling teahouses and restaurants, everything you should have is here.

Even according to what Liang Zhen said, it seems that the spies in Shuzhou City have recently evacuated part of them.

This is roughly the case with Chu Xianping.

Then she saw her pick up a beautifully crafted gold hairpin, and looked back at Wei Changtian in a daze.

And after getting along with each other for a long time, everyone discovered that these transformed monsters are actually no different from human beings.

As for whether the concept of "coexistence of humans and monsters" can be extended in the future, and whether human beings in other places can accept it as calmly as the people of Dashu, Wei Changtian is not sure.

But even if there is only the city of Datong, it is enough from a certain point of view.

"Where am I sneaking around?"

"What are you doing?"

Therefore, Wei Changtian just joked with a smile:
"The big ghost snatched it away secretly."

After all, why did Hao Hao suddenly withdraw the spies?
Could it be that he is no longer worth following?

It's not surprising that Chu Xianping left.

At the very least, people like Wu Tianqing and Yun Lian no longer need to hide in isolated islands, but can walk on the earth openly and aboveboard.

Wei Changtian was awakened by the smell of meat.

Wei Changtian couldn't figure it out even more.

Love and hatred, all kinds of worldly states, everything that can be felt can be felt here.

So far, Wei Changtian has fulfilled the promise he made to Qingxian at that time, and he has really established a city of "the great harmony of the world".

"Huh? Are you awake?"

After Li Zimu left, there was no news back, but Qingzhou sent a message to Wei Changtian, saying that a group of people had arrived at the border of Qingzhou and went out to sea by boat.

Presumably, he wanted to use the teleportation array in Qingzhou to go to Dachu, and then to Lingmen Temple.

In this way, Wei Changtian, who resisted all opinions, left the Tiangong Bureau after announcing the reward, and then went to inspect the second "key project" of Dashu, Datong City.

"I don't believe it! You, you stop!"

The first day of December, the winter solstice.

Time passed quickly, when Wei Changtian returned to Shuzhou City from Datong, it was less than half a month before the twelfth lunar month.

After all, this hairpin is her most precious one.

"Just clean it up"

But how could he borrow so many masters from Lingmen Temple?What are you going to do with such a group of people?Wei Changtian really couldn't figure it out.

And other than that, they are all scattered and trivial things, which are not worth mentioning here.

And Qin Zhengqiu's side is even simpler, there is still no letter, and no force has come to Wei Changtian.

shouldn't
In short, no matter what Wei Changtian thinks makes sense, this is how the situation develops.

Sometimes even more like a "human" than a human, at least when doing business with Yaozu, you never have to worry that the other party will not keep their promises.

"Believe it or not, let's go and have breakfast."

According to the customs of Shuzhou, mutton is eaten on the day of the winter solstice, so there is a strong smell of meat inside and outside the mansion early in the morning.

Perhaps the answer can only be obtained after Li Zimu investigates.

After all, he was well aware of the epoch-making significance of the steam engine.

Wei Changtian muttered and got out of bed and began to put on his clothes: "Why are you sneaking around?"

Not because of how expensive. Of course, this is one of the reasons.

Now it is less than two years since the completion of Datong City, and naturally every aspect of the whole city cannot be compared with a thousand-year-old city like Shuzhou City.

Leaving the dream path, he yawned, slowly straightened up and sat up.

Under the effect of public opinion propaganda that "if you are not of my race, their hearts are not necessarily different", more and more Dashu people have gradually accepted the Yaozu.

So the last time Wei Changtian sent a letter to ask her to find the hairpin, but she couldn't find it, so she was really crying.

Comrade Xiao Xu glanced back, and then continued to take things out of the cabinet: "We're going back to the capital tomorrow, I want to pack up."

"Huh~"

Although there are still quite a few, it is definitely not as much as it was half a month ago.

"But where did you find it? I obviously searched the whole house at that time."

But Wei Changcai didn't care about these, and even felt that it wasn't enough.

As soon as Wei Changtian turned his head, he saw Xu Qingwan, who had woken up early, stealthily rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, just like a thief breaking into a house.

And there are many demons who have transformed into shapes.
The peaceful coexistence of monsters, if this matter was put three years ago, it would have sounded like a fantasy to anyone.

Speaking of Lingmen Temple, Wei Changtian went to Song Pu again after he came back and asked about the recent situation.

However, due to the extremely generous "immigration policy", there are already tens of 10 people living in the city.

Comrade Xiao Xu certainly didn't know what kind of "wonderful and tortuous" journey this hairpin went through before it returned to her hands, and of course Wei Changtian would not say, "Someone stole it from you and wanted to threaten me with it." "The truth.

The big pot is stewed for six hours from morning to night, and then you can have an authentic Shuzhou mutton soup for dinner.

"That can be the same!"

"Big ghost. How is that possible! I hid in the secret compartment!"

Imagine if someone in the previous life could produce controllable nuclear fusion, let alone the sub-provincial treatment, I'm afraid it would be directly offered as a national treasure.

From talking about it, to having concerns, to gradually accepting it, and then getting used to it.
When people living in Datong City will no longer secretly talk about who is a demon, the city will finally become worthy of its name.

"It's impossible. The ghost is smart now. I heard from Qiaoling that he would go to the kitchen to steal meat all day long."

Just holding the hairpin in front of his chest, Comrade Xiao Xu's tone was rapid, and he could see that he was very excited about this loss.

In ancient times, the winter solstice was generally regarded as a big winter festival, and there was even a saying among the people that "the winter solstice is as big as the year".

Xu Qingwan muttered in dissatisfaction: "I'm not afraid of being noisy."

But the most important thing is because this is the one she wore when she married Wei Changtian.

Now that such a precious object is back, Xu Qingwan is naturally very excited.

But now this has become a reality in Datong City.

Wei Changtian looked up and said with a smile, "I put it in the closet when I got back, and I forgot to tell you."

"Oh, so didn't I find it for you?"

"Isn't this hairpin lost? I remember you sent a letter to ask me, but I couldn't find it at that time."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wei Changtian's laughter and Xu Qingwan's yelling became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared in the clear morning wind.

The warm room was quiet, every place was the same as when Wei Changtian left a year ago.

Still so familiar.
