Yuan Shen: After the emperor abdicates, I will be in charge of Liyue

Although she was taken aback, Ke Qing quickly packed up her posture and bowed solemnly: "I have seen Zhenjun."

Ai nodded, and looked at the other two people: "The Qunyu Pavilion is going up from here, right, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go."

…………

"Pumice stone technology, it's really nostalgic."

"I remember that I also wanted to make a pumice stone spectacle. It was [-] meters long and [-] meters wide. I built twelve of them to form a fleet. It was used as a spectacle to inspire people's hearts when it was not in use, and it was used as a battleship and air command during wartime. I was scolded by Morax, saying that it was a waste of money."

"No way, I have no choice but to settle for the next best thing, implement the second plan, and requisition the floating pavilion given to him by Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing Wind, so that it will not waste people and money."

"..."

When the people on the side heard these words, they didn't know how to respond.

Didn't your second plan really come up with revenge?

Fortunately, Gan Yu is still here, and she has a say in these matters.

"I heard Zhenjun Liuyun borrow the wind about this matter. She said that during that time, the emperor had the desire to avoid the world. You must see that the emperor has to work on his own when he can be idle, so he proposed this plan because he was dissatisfied."

Ai Yi showed a mysterious smile: "Oh? Then what do you think I think?"

==

Gan Yu didn't speak, but it could be seen from her eyes that she believed this statement a little bit.

"Then it seems that Zhenjun Liuyun borrows the wind to understand me better, and he can see my true purpose at a glance."

"That's right, I just think he's too free and want to find something for him to do. Whoever told him to leave a sentence saying that he has a specialization in art will go to fish for it. If he doesn't know internal affairs, he can learn it. In the end, he is conservative and mine. Being aggressive is enough for him to learn for a while, but he is just lazy, it’s not that he can’t learn.”

"You see, my plan worked. In the end, Morax was able to learn internal affairs. Now that I've been wandering around for so long, this guy doesn't manage Liyue in an orderly manner."

"..."

Now even Gan Yu couldn't answer the conversation, after all, she was still a child of hundreds of years old at that time, and she didn't have such a deep understanding of these matters.

They didn't even think about the lazy emperor or something before.

But it seems to be quite emotional.

"However, let me say that although this floating stone technology is easy to use, the consumables are too precious. Such a large floating stone is rare in the world, and it is not universal at all."

"I remember that I sorted out the knowledge related to steam engines before. If that thing is built, it can replace some manpower. Why do you feel that there is no shadow at all?"

Keqing asked suspiciously: "What is a steam engine?"

Keqing has the most say about these strange skills, because she once tried to reform the transportation industry, but after a long time of hard work, she was unable to find a new source of power that was cheaper than human transportation, so she had to put it on hold. .

"Water turns into gas when it evaporates, and it increases in volume, you know that."

"Naturally."

"And what happens if you trap this vapor in a container?"

"The container will probably burst."

"If the container is strong enough and has a vent, what will happen to the pressurized water vapor coming out?"

Ke Qing figured it out immediately: "It will become a new driving force!"

In fact, the steam engine is not a superb technology. Tivat also has a technology far superior to the steam engine. After all, it is an extraordinary civilization.

However, these technologies more or less involve elemental reactions, resulting in a greatly reduced popularity.

However, low technical content does not necessarily mean that it is useless, just like the principle of leverage will still frequently appear in people's daily life even if humans enter the electrical age.

A simple principle does not mean backwardness, but a simple principle must mean cheap.

Due to the existence of extraordinary power, the level of Tivat's technology has been greatly increased, but its popularity has decreased, and its cost cannot be reduced.

But the steam engine is different. This thing is a pure physical machine. It is something that ordinary people can mass-produce. Compared with the extraordinary technology, its cost cannot be said to be greatly reduced. More.

Such things are useless compared to top technology, but they are perfect for improving people's livelihood.

It turns out that the new motivation I have been looking for for a long time is by my side...

Ke Qing remembered that when she drank tea, the boiling hot water was poured into the pot, what ordinary people noticed was the fragrance, but what the knowledgeable people noticed was the rising water vapor.

There is a slight difference in performance between the two, but the realm is worlds apart.

The former is just a momentary enjoyment, while the latter really has a long way to go.

So high and far away, is this the realm of a fairy...

Keqing was in a trance for a moment, but then she cheered up again.

Even if the realms are far apart, Keqing will still try her best to pursue them.

She is the Yuheng star, and she wants to overcome obstacles for human beings and open up a Yuheng star that can survive without relying on gods!

"Looking at your expression, it seems that this technology has the potential to be popularized?"

Ning Guang noticed the change in Ke Qing's expression, so she asked.

She is not a boudoir lady who doesn't eat grains, and she has learned a lot from her childhood experience. Although she didn't understand Ai Yi's meaning at the first time, Ke Qing's new motivation still made her very happy. He reacted quickly.

"The specific experiment has not been done, but according to my experience, if the corresponding technology can be popularized and mastered, the efficiency of many existing industries can be increased by at least three times."

Keqing hesitated for a moment, and said a relatively conservative figure.

Ning Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, she had already smelled Mora's scent.

In fact, Keqing also knows that she is being conservative, because Liyue is completely sparsely populated. To the west of Tianheng Mountain, to the south of Qingce Village, Lisha Suburb, Qiongjiye, Bishuiyuan and other places, there are large tracts of land without people develop.

If the steam engine can be popularized, then the freed manpower can be used to develop other places, and the income brought by this will not only be three times, but dozens of times may underestimate the richness of Liyue's land.

But Keqing didn't dare to say it, because just a three-fold increase in efficiency can make Ningguang's eyes look fierce. If so, Ningguang would tear down Qunyu Pavilion on the spot and make a big investment. .

At that time, Ningguang will be Liyue's largest businessman, and no one can restrict her.

This will not work.

Thinking of this, Ke Qing couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Ai Yi, this person must understand what she understands, so she has to find a way to keep him from talking about it.

Ai Yi looked at Ke Qing with a smile, and nodded slightly.

Everyone was immersed in the impact of the steam engine, but it was Gan Yu who discovered the blind spot:

"Then why was such an important thing not popularized in the first place?"

Ning Guang and Ke Qing also reacted, and the two hearts raised at the same time.

Is there a technical problem?Come on, this is a huge profit!

"It may be because of policy issues. Liyue's initial policy was commerce and crafts, but in fact it was supposed to be commerce and machinery, but due to some incidents, machinery was supposed to lead the way to death, and many pre-technologies were lost. It couldn’t be perfected, and I was going to travel far away, so I downgraded the machine to a craftsman.”

"But what I meant at the beginning was to wait for the skillful craftsman to develop for a period of time before upgrading to a machine. Obviously Morax didn't understand what I meant. This mechanical idiot has already told him to learn when he doesn't understand. He is still too lazy. When I get my assistant back, I must beat him together."

Gan Yu thought of the time she didn't want to recall, and hesitated to speak: "The mechanical guide...could it be..."

Ning Guang saw Gan Yu's hesitation, and said, "If it's inconvenient, it's okay not to talk about it."

Ai Yi smiled: "It's not inconvenient. Only those who look at the past can move forward to the future, but it seems that we have reached the station, why don't you go in first, and I will tell you in the story later."

Chapter 8 History of Liyue

Everyone entered the Qunyu Pavilion, and at this time the Qunyu Pavilion was emptied, leaving only Ningguang's three little followers.

In the past, Ningguang also did this when dealing with important business affairs. Everyone in Qunyu Pavilion was familiar with it, and the efficiency of clearing the venue was extremely high.

Everyone took their seats on the deck outside the gate of Qunyu Pavilion Palace. The weather was still rainy just now. With Ai Yiyi waving his hand, in an instant...the rain became heavier.

A transparent barrier appeared above the Jade Pavilion, preventing the rain from getting everyone wet, but the air purified by the rain was unimpeded.

"Don't mind everyone, this is... um... This is the teacher's hobby. The teacher likes rainy weather the most. In the past, when he was dealing with official duties, the teacher would deliberately choose cloudy and rainy days to show up. Sometimes it didn't rain for more than a month, and he didn't see it for more than a month. Work until Dijun can't bear to watch him and drag him out."

Gan Yu hesitated to call Ai Yi for a long time, and calling her title directly felt a bit outdated, and Gan Yu didn't like this feeling, but it was too shameful to call her brother, and in the end she still felt that she used to call Ai Yi whom she was not familiar with. At that time, the "teacher" used was the most fluent.

Everyone has no objection to this, it's just the weather, whatever you want is fine.

Ke Qing's focus is rather strange: "Is Master Dongxu Guanhuo your teacher?"

"I have learned a little time from Zhenjun before."

As soon as Ai Yi mentioned this, he became interested: "You don't know, Gan Yu was beaten by me every day at that time..."

Gan Yu appeared behind Ai Yi in an instant, put her hand on Ai Yi's shoulder with a smile, and said kindly:

"Sir, sit here."

"Oh." Ai Yi felt the strength on his shoulders, and felt that it would be better for him to sit obediently.

As soon as she was seated, Ke Qing said vigorously, "I don't know why the real lord called us here this time?"

After the steam engine incident, Keqing's dissatisfaction with Ai Yi's meddling in personnel affairs as a fairy has all dissipated, and what he wants to say to Ai Yi has become much more serious.

Ai Yi smiled, lying comfortably on the chair with the back of his head in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry. Before I get down to business, let me briefly introduce myself so that you can understand what kind of person I am."

The crowd nodded.

"My name is Ai Yi, and my real name is Deng Telian. I used to be the Demon God of Heart, and now I am the True Monarch of Dongxu Guanhuo. Authority, the Demon God of Heart, authority is naturally to read minds and modify other people's consciousness."

Although everyone had already guessed in their hearts, they were still a little apprehensive when they heard the word "reading the heart".

And there is also the ability to modify the consciousness of others. Although it is not clear what this ability is, it is definitely not a good thing to put the two words consciousness and modification together.

"Don't worry, there is a sign before my ability is activated, that is, my eyes will glow."

As Ai Yi said, he activated his ability.

But seeing his eyes suddenly become much deeper, the blue eyes, like a lit ice cave, made everyone feel cold.

"And you are all holders of the God's Eye, and you are determined. You should have some feelings about my spying."

"As for modifying consciousness, I won't show it to you. It requires a collision of wills when it is used. People whose willpower is not as good as mine can easily be crushed, which is a bit dangerous."

"By the way, my eyes can actually change color."

Everyone watched Ai Yi's eyes glowing and changing from red to orange, green, blue, blue and purple, the chill in their hearts gradually dissipated into speechlessness.

However, Ye Lan immediately became vigilant. This seemingly harmless intimacy was actually a way to win favor.

Ai Yi looked at Yelan, and nodded in satisfaction: "He is very crisis-conscious, as expected of a secret agent, and I will pass on some experience to you later, so you can be regarded as the successor of Supervisor Tiansi."
