Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times
Chapter 739
The person who can really appreciate the benefits of Xiao Yun becomes a rain fairy at this time.
She''s been a little too comfortable lately.
Feel the meat around your waist. It seems that there is more meat.
For a moment, he frowned.
For so many years, I seem to have fat for the first time.
Seeing her look lonely, Xiao Yun naturally ran over to ask.
The rain fairy couldn''t speak. Now she didn''t dare to write. She had to pinch her belly and sigh.
Xiao Yun also stretched out his hand and pinched her stomach.
Then he asked innocently and seriously, "what''s the matter?"
When the rain fell, the fairy''s face turned red.
Although the two had met each other sincerely before, they had been in close contact.
But after all, many days have passed, and the strength of that habit has long gone.
Now Xiao Yun''s ambiguous action naturally makes it very difficult for the rain fairy.
But there''s nothing I can do.
The rain fairy retreated and asked for the second place. She could only express her concern about getting fat with an expression.
Xiao Yun smiled.
"A little meat is actually good. It''s not good to be too thin. People are too thin and too fat. It''s best to be in the middle. This is the golden mean and the capital for everyone to settle down."
He also showed his muscles and bones.
As a result, Xiao Yun is really thin.
Sahu is not a useful man now. He can''t be used by others. Xiao Yun has changed from two to three people who need to wait on him. Although there is so many people to eat, he still needs to work harder.
In addition, as soon as Xiao Yun has time, he runs to the side to practice his original energy. One come and two go, which consumes more body, so he really doesn''t have any fat at this time.
It looks like a great craftsman.
Xiao Yun pinched a thin layer of skin on his belly. It was very elastic. He couldn''t pull it up.
I can only smile bitterly and say, "now I''m a little too thin. In fact, my body is unhealthy."
What does rain fairy care about health?
Xiao Yun''s behavior seemed more like showing off to her.
I couldn''t help but have evil thoughts. I made plans and didn''t eat dinner.
As a result, Xiao Yun made cassava cake with meat
Smelling the fragrance, the rain fairy could only convince herself again and again.
It''s not bad anyway!
……
There are no more twists and turns along the way.
Tuoba tianer was familiar with the road and deliberately went to avoid some towns. It was a stop for them.
Between cities, it''s not a city.
There are no excellent roads like those in previous lives.
There is a whole piece of desolation.
Not even farmland.
This reminds Xiao Yun of his previous life.
Walking through cities, you will always see scattered trees and endless farmland on the roadside.
Finally, it''s not farmland. It can only be mountains.
On the hillside, we can still see traces of human civilization and some cash crops.
People in previous lives have already used everything they can use.
Any visible resource is rarely wasted.
Passing by a pond, needless to ask, it must be a fish pond. If it is natural, it will also become a rare tourist area.
And this world is really barren.
There are no people for thousands of miles on the trail.
As if walking in a vast ocean.
Will doubt whether they are going in the wrong direction.
Even Xiao Yun often has the illusion that if he goes on like this, he will come to the end of the world.
But it is said that the end of the world did not come. They came to a big city.
A big city built near the mountain.
From a distance, you can see countless buildings stacked on the hillside, and you can also see an artificial river flowing down from the hillside to the foot of the mountain, and then to the city wall.
The towering city wall, dozens of feet away, is a dense forest.
It seems that the city wall is an absolute barrier between human civilization and nature.
Xiao Yun immediately had two doubts in his mind.
Also asked directly.
"Didn''t you want to hide from the city before? Why do we take the initiative to find it now? And where is it? Why is there such a high wall? It''s obviously inland. What is the wall guarding against?"
Tuoba tianer sighed and didn''t know which question to answer first.
"The city wall was built a long time ago. In fact, you should be able to see that it is an ancient city. It is said that it used to be a country, so it is not normal to have a city wall? The city is only rebuilt based on the former site of that country."
"Oh... So it is. No wonder the city wall gives me a very new and old feeling. It used to have a city wall, and then it has been repaired... But why not dismantle it? Instead, repair it? I''m afraid it will cost a lot to repair this kind of city wall."
Tuoba tianer was stunned.
Blinked.
He also turned to look at the city wall and whispered: "there is a rumor that the function of the city wall here is not to resist foreign enemies, but to prevent animal tide. The king''s court doesn''t believe it and has never allocated any money here. Unexpectedly, they are really continuing to repair and think it is a trick of local officials to cheat money... Alas, ghosts and gods say that they kill people."
Xiao Yun blinked, looked around, and then said with a smile: "in fact, it''s not impossible. Animal tide has nothing to do with ghosts and gods. There are mountains and forests nearby, and there will be a lot of wild animals inside. It''s not impossible to run out and hurt people."
"Maybe."
Tuoba tianer said indifferently.
After all, she felt that such things could only be done by foolish people.
With a cold hum, he answered the next question.
"It''s called Surabaya city. It''s said that there were four rivers here. It''s in the place where rivers converge, so it''s of high military value. It''s rumored that this is the last line of defense before the king''s court."
"Rumors?"
"Yes, it''s just an erroneous statement. If a foreign enemy invades, the south of the king''s court is an open plain, the west is the largest official road in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there is an ancient road to go in the north. Anyway, the title of the last defense line can''t come here. Any intruder can easily bypass here, so the walls here are just placed That''s all. "
Xiao Yun lost his smile.
"It seems that you have a lot of complaints here," he said
"Yes, after all, this is one of the biggest holes in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Countless money is spent here every year. In our opinion, the money is just floating."
"Since it''s useless, why invest money here?"
Tuoba tianer sighed and said, "just because of the legends I said before, no one believed that kind of thing, all civil and military officials, and the whole Wenzong. But before his death, the leader of the state believed it and set a dead rule. Instead of collecting taxes here, he sent a lot of money and materials every year."
"Er..."
Xiao Yun didn''t know what to say at once.
There are few foolish kings, but not none. Even Xiao Yun has seen quite a few.
"Then why are we here?"
Xiao Yun was afraid that Tuoba tianer would forget his question, so he asked again.
Tuoba tianer said, "because of its particularity, it has also become a place for major families to hoard their own power. After all, there is no tax here. As long as the money of large families turns around and gets a hand here, they can avoid a lot of taxes."
"So... You Tuoba family also have an industry here?"
Tuoba tianer sighed and said with a bitter smile, "to be exact, half of this city belongs to our Tuoba family. That''s why I am qualified to be a saint, and the Tuoba family will be feared by the royal family. My father wants to make contributions and maintain a balance."
