Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Of course, they don't have such things.    

For example, the layout of a village.    

According to the best method, it should be placed in an open area, which would maintain a certain distance from the forest. As for the beasts in the forest, logically speaking, they wouldn't rush out of the forest.    

Therefore, an open space meant safety.    

Moreover, open space could also be casually lit, so there was no need to worry about directly burning the forest.    

But in fact...    

It was the opposite.    

An open space in the forest was not a place for wild beasts to stop.    

Coincidentally, he had an idea.    

Instead, it was a "public area."    

It was like a water source in the jungle.    

Yes.    

Beasts are not fish!    

It was not that they could not get away from boiling water, but there was a precise dividing line.    

When a beast leaves the forest, it can run faster and jump higher.    

Therefore, a village without tall walls needed some trees around it to maintain a certain environment.    

Moreover, they would leave their 'scent' in the surroundings.    

The beasts in the forest all had a sense of territory.    

They would invade and then be beaten away. They wouldn't easily cross that border.    

Living and thinking were two completely different things.    

And human life required firewood.    

So they could only run very far away to chop firewood. This inevitably led to them entering the areas where other beasts were active. It was very risky.    

The firewood in the village was not enough to support such a large stove. It burned here every day.    

Xiao Yun smiled.    

He then reached out and pulled the village chief to the side.    

He said with a smile, "Village chief, how are you going to spend the money when we get it back?"    

The village chief was stunned for a moment and said, "Just spend it like that..."    

Xiao Yun laughed out loud.    

It attracted the villagers' attention.    

It made the village chief feel extremely awkward.    

He also did not understand what Xiao Yun was laughing about.    

Xiao Yun stopped laughing after a long while.    

Then he said, "This matter... You see, I will give you an example. I heard that you promised everyone in the village. When the time comes, you will buy a lot of things. Then, you will find a familiar merchant. The peddler didn't think much of buying things from them in the beginning. But when you buy things too correctly, he can't help but be curious. Why did you suddenly have so much money? If it was a smart one... You will carefully investigate without revealing your emotions. If you are not smart, you will be asked directly... Can you tell me? Tell me that I suddenly got a lot of money? If you don't say it, he will be even more curious, and the people in this big village... The adults can keep secrets, but can children keep secrets? Especially some of the children who were not sensible. They would coax them a little. They will say everything. When that businessman finds out that you suddenly get so much money... Do you think that he will not have any... special thoughts?"    

"This..."    

The village chief was stunned for a moment.    

Then, he frowned.    

He wasn't that rich.    

And he had never owned so much wealth before.    

Therefore, he would not know how to hide it or how to keep a low profile!    

When he heard what Xiao Yun said and thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. He started to panic.    

"Then... Then what should we do? Could it be that we can't spend the money with us?"    

"It's not that we won't be able to spend it, but if we don't do anything... You can only spend it a little, and you still have to hunt and hunt... You have to tan the skin, and you can't delay any work. As for that money, it can only make your lives a little less."    

"This..."    

The village chief could not stop the bitterness on his face.    

If that was the case, this money... It didn't seem to have much meaning to it.    

Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Of course it's not just that. It's good that the time is short. Everyone has the same heart. And they all thought that they already have so much wealth. My heart is beautiful. We also have the strength to work, but if the time is too long... When they realized that this money seemed to be useless, they would think... Why didn't the village chief spend the money? The money was just a pile of useless metal. If the human heart was in chaos, anything could happen. They would steal it, be discovered, and then risk their lives. There would even be all kinds of lawsuits for human lives, and there would be people scheming... It could be said that they were doing everything they could. After all, in their opinion, he had so much money that he could do nothing at all. He could even squander for several generations. "    

"Alright... I think it will be like this."    

Xiao Yun said, "Moreover, even if we take ten thousand steps back, the things that we were worried about would not happen. You can spend the money however you want. Then... you can easily buy food and drink, and enjoy an outstanding life. Then do you still work? Do you still need to hunt? You are people who play with poison and raise poisonous creatures. When the time comes, do you still need to raise them?"    

" This... "    

" Wealth will make some people slack off. This is an indisputable fact. Just like a person who suddenly earned money that could only be earned a few days a day, he would immediately reward himself. He might as well have a good meal or rest for a day. After all, he is not an ascetic. There was no need to torture himself. Am I right?"    

"This... isn't unreasonable."    

Xiao Yun said, "But no matter how much money it is, put it in a village. But it will not take long to spend. Ten years? Twenty years? Spending money is getting more and more extravagant. I used to spend one tael of silver for more than ten days. Now? When I was in Beijing, a meal that cost less than one tael of gold was considered a frugality. How long do you think that money can be spent? When I have no money, it is easy to live frugally, but it is hard to live frugally from extravagance to frugality! Can they really live their lives in peace? Even the firewood had to be used sparingly. When they were sleeping, the blankets are so damp that they seem to be able to squeeze water out."    

"This... This is the valley, it is heavy with fog..."    

"So, when they are used to soft bedding, how can they sleep on that damp bed?"    

The village chief did not say anything.    

He really did not know what to say.    

He suddenly had a feeling.    

This wealth... might not be a good thing!    

In fact, it was the same.    

Just like what Xiao Yun had said before.    

Things like wealth, everyone's ability to bear it was different.    

It would be a bad thing if one exceeded their ability.    

This kind of thing that everyone likes, excessive poison.    

Xiao Yun looked at the troubled look on the village chief's face and suddenly smiled again.    

"Consider yourselves lucky. Now, there is a way to settle everything once and for all. It can solve all the problems that I mentioned earlier in one go!"    

"Impossible!"    

The village chief subconsciously shouted.    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Then... do you want us to make a bet?"    

"This..."    

The village chief stared blankly at Xiao Yun with a strange expression.    

After a while, he said, "Although this old man knows that this is impossible, why do I feel that if I bet with you, this old man will definitely lose?"    

Stupid Zhang.    

One. Names everywhere in the mountains and fields.    

The small name that he had casually given to make a living had turned into a big name because he found it troublesome.    

Of course, the ones who found it troublesome were his parents.    

As for himself, he hated this name very much.    

Because as the world he came into contact with expanded, he discovered that every village with the surname Zhang would definitely have a Stupid Zhang!    

Therefore, he preferred the villagers to call him by another name.    

Second Master.    

Master Second Zhang was a mysterious figure.    

He had the salt that was controlled by all three countries.    

He also had the refined iron that was controlled by all the countries.    

He had the most luxurious brocade cloth in Sun Moon Country, as well as the four most famous treasures in the Northern Wei.    

He also had the most popular things in Xiao family's workshop in Qin Country.    

Even the slender long blade hanging from his waist was the elegant blade of the Xiao family's workshop. Anyone who saw it would not be able to help but take a few glances at it.    

According to his subordinates, the gem on the hilt of the blade was enough to sleep all the beautiful women in the neighboring villages.    

He was Master Second Zhang.    

He was the most outstanding merchant in a region that did not care about anything. He was also the most respected person.    

From his childhood when he was poor to his current glory, he had relied on his legs that would never tire him out.    

Even though he had achieved success and made a name for himself, and his wealth was astonishing, he would still personally run into business.    

Some people said that he was addicted.    

If he didn't go to business for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.    

However, only he knew that as long as he didn't work, stopped, and rested for a few days, he would dream of that relatively tragic childhood every night.    

Then, he would wake up again and again from his sleep.    

But as long as he ran and got busy, he would forget everything.    

His merchant group mainly consisted of seven trade routes.    

His favorite route was the longest and most difficult one.    

This route would lead him to an extremely remote valley.    

His subordinates all knew that he had a very good relationship with an old and useless village chief in the valley.
