Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

The mottled road, the shabby business road.    

It was not easy to see a relay station. When he got closer, he realized that it had been abandoned for a long time.    

Only some messy beds could bear witness to the former prosperity of this place.    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "Although it's a little shabby, it can still be rested. Do you live here, or do you live in a carriage?"    

"It's still in the carriage."    

Tuoba Tian'er sighed.    

She said, "This is the change you brought to the North Wei. How is it? Do you still like it?"    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. He touched his nose and did not say anything.    

Tuoba Tian'er was even more annoyed when she saw him like this.    

She directly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Seeing this scene, you don't have anything to say?"    

Leng Yueling at the side felt puzzled and puzzled.    

She walked over and pulled Tuoba Tian'er down and asked, "What is the matter? They were still fine before, why are they quarreling now?"    

Tuoba Tian'er said helplessly, "This place used to be a very important trade route. Thousands of people depended on this trade route to live, but because of the Gold Hidden Pavilion... This place gradually became deserted, and more and more people left this place. A trade route that had existed for hundreds of years, and it had existed since the beginning of the year. And just like that, it disappeared."    

Leng Yueling was puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with the Gold Hidden Pavilion?"    

Tuoba Tian'er patiently explained," The trade route is very particular. Businessmen always seek profits. The Gold Hidden Pavilion uses the convenience of the trade routes in Qin Country to the northeast of Qin Country. To the southeast of North Wei, a small remote country built a commercial town that was connected in all directions. From then on, all the merchants in North Wei went there. This trade route was not taken by anyone. Naturally, it was abandoned. How many people lost their homes? It could be said to be a tragedy in the human world! "    

Leng Yueling was stunned for a moment.    

She turned to look at Xiao Yun and asked," Is that really the case? "    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It is generally like this."    

"Sigh..."    

Leng Yueling sighed and said to Tuoba Tian'er, "There are many changes. There are also many industries in Qin Country that are related to the Xiao family's workshop and Gold Hidden Pavilion. There is no way for them to survive, but what can they do? Could it be that everything must remain the same? To remain the same forever? Changes will always happen."    

Tuoba Tian'er shook her head and said," Those merchants, these relay stations, and the people living around them, should they be unlucky? They should be homeless and abandoned by this revolution? "    

She said it with some excitement.    

Leng Yueling did not know what to say for a moment.    

Xiao Yun smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and said, "That... Tian'er, who told you all this? What did they say? You have never seen it with your own eyes. You only heard it from hearsay and heard it from one side. That's why you're angry and even furious. Anyone who has a little sense of justice should be like that. That's how you are. You have justice in your heart, so even if you have such a good relationship with me, you clearly know that it is meaningless to say it out loud. But you still said it, this... is also what I think you are good at."    

"Hmph!"    

Tuoba Tian'er's face turned red and she turned her head away. In her heart, she was making plans. Even if Xiao Yun said sweet words, she would definitely not forgive him so easily. At least... she had to sunbathe him for two days.    

As for the method... it was to not speak when eating!    

Xiao Yun blinked and suddenly said, "But you have a fatal flaw, that is, anything. You always listen to the words of one side, but in fact, it doesn't matter what it is. Even if it happened in front of you, even if you saw it with your own eyes... You shouldn't have made such a conclusion so quickly, because it's very likely that it's wrong."    

"This... What else can be wrong with this?"    

Xiao Yun sighed.    

"You really think too highly of the people."    

"Hmm? What do you mean?"    

"The people are tough, and they are stronger than you think. They are very strong, even the entire world doesn't give them a chance to survive. They will try to survive, not to mention... I gave them a great opportunity! What you heard is that they are homeless, but you didn't hear... What you should see is their happy life right now."    

"What... What do you mean?!"    

Tuoba Tian'er was confused by Xiao Yun's words.    

Xiao Yun scratched his head and said, "Don't you know how to hide your feelings? It must be that your superiors saw through something, so they tried to slander me as much as possible in front of you. They even framed me, but you can still tolerate it until now. That's really not bad, but... it can't be that you only remembered this matter after seeing these relay stations, right? "    

"No... No! I... I was the one who held back my words before. Un! "    

Xiao Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

He sighed and said, "I should not have explained it to you. It made me feel like I need to explain it to you, but you are a bit stubborn..."    

Xiao Yun waved his hand helplessly and said, "Then let's get on the carriage first."    

After bidding farewell to the abandoned relay station, the small carriage continued forward.    

This trade route was deserted.    

However, the road was still a road. Even if no one had walked on it for a long time, it was still a road. Even if there were weeds growing on it, the road in the middle that was pressed too hard would not be able to produce grass seeds.    

The traces of humans were actually not that easy to disappear.    

Whether it was good or bad.    

"In the beginning, they didn't want to abandon this place. That's why business was getting worse day by day, and they were still persisting. However, it was also because of their persistence that they caused trouble. You have to know, the people who live on a trade route... Not only those merchants and relay stations, but also bandits and bandits, their profits decreased... Naturally, they point the spearhead to the station. On this trade route, there were more than 40 stations of different sizes, 16 of which were official stations. The rest were formed by the people, official relay stations. The bandits did not dare to provoke them, after all, there was still a certain number of troops stationed there. So they pointed the spearhead at the private camps. Their appetite grew bigger and bigger. The strength of the snatching also became fiercer and fiercer, and the resistance also became more and more intense. Thus, a dispute occurred here and there. In the end, even the official relay station became the target of the bandits. They joined forces and sent a distress signal to the North Wei Imperial Court. I hope that the Imperial Court will send troops to save them... You should know about this, right? "    

Tuoba Tian'er nodded and said," There was indeed such a thing, but it seems to be a small matter. "    

"A small matter? Yes, to the huge North Wei, the rise and fall of this small trade route is naturally a small matter. Of course, but to the people here, it is not a small matter."    

"That's not right!"    

Tuoba Tian'er was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked, "How do you know so much about this place? "    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Do you know? Or do you not know? "    

"I..."    

Tuoba Tian'er indeed did not know this information.    

She was completely stunned.    

She only knew a rough outline, a frame, and even a few nouns inside, adding up to less than ten words.    

But Xiao Yun clearly stated the data within.    

She suddenly felt a sense of shame.    

Xiao Yun shrugged and said with a bitter smile, "I said before that you were very concerned about them, but in fact, you don't know anything. It's just that when others call you, you have to follow them."    

"You! You call me a dog? "    

Tuoba Tian'er tried to use a rogue to fight back.    

Unfortunately, Xiao Yun did not fall for her tricks.    

He asked directly, "Actually, the chaos here is no longer a small matter. When the post offices are united, how can those bandits not join forces? There are more than ten thousand people in total. It can be considered as a rebellion. This is not a small matter. "    

"This... over ten thousand people? Of course this is not a small matter, but... but why is it that the report is just a small matter? I thought it was just a small matter of a few hundred people..."    

Tuoba Tian'er broke out in cold sweat.    

Xiao Yun said, "Because they don't want to send troops, because the North Wei is still in a state of internal strife. Everyone wanted to protect their own strength, and no one wanted to come to this desolate wilderness. Fight a prolonged tug of war with more than ten thousand local snakes, and wait for them to finish. If the important matters of the Imperial Court were settled, how would they have the chance to get a piece of the pie? Hence, the chaos regarding the trade route was forcefully suppressed into a small matter... Hehe, to put it bluntly, the things that you can hear in the capital city... Those are all things that the officials below want you to hear, even if you personally go and take a look. What they want you to see is just what they want you to see. "    

Tuoba Tian'er could not refute.    

Anyone who had been in the court for a long time would know this.    

But even if they knew, so what?    

Could they change it?    

Can he manage it?    

How is that possible?!    

This kind of thing, even in the world of Xiao Yun's previous life, even if the media was developed to the point where everyone became a media, what the citizens could see was only what others wanted them to see.    

What they saw were all things that others had spent money to let them see!    

Xiao Yun sighed and continued, "The one who really solved these things happened to be the person you were cursing at previously."    

"You?!"    

Tuoba Tian'er was shocked.    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "What is it? Doesn't look like it? The reason why I know so much about this place is naturally because I am in charge of the matters here. Of course, it's just a little bit. I can't possibly dispatch an army to annihilate these bandits. What I did was to ask the Gold Hidden Pavilion to bring some experts from the pugilistic world here. On the other side. While dealing with those bandits, I told those relay stations and merchants... I've already built a small city, which is now empty. But the roads were wide and wide, and any trade caravans could trade within. Not only the trade between the Northern Wei and Qin Country, but also the Northern Wei and the Sun Moon Country. There were also many small countries that could trade with each other through that place. If they wanted to go, the Gold Hidden Pavilion could send out guards. Send them there. "    

"Did they follow them?"    

"How could they all follow them? They only walked 80%, and there was still 20% left. They still had hopes for this region. I won't bother with people like them. Opportunities are right in front of me. It might only happen once in a lifetime. People who really can't grasp them... It's perfectly normal for them to be eliminated by the world. Therefore, they should just let them go. It could not be said... There has to be some sacrifices, right? "    

"Then... what's the result?"    

"You dare to believe? After the result came out, I felt very surprised."    

"What result?"    

"There is no need to talk about business. All those who can leave have really left. In the newly built city, they owned their own shops. The merchant group originally headed in that direction. A prosperous city was quickly built. It was now the largest transit station between the Northern Wei and Sun Moon Country. Of course, it was also the largest transit station. Compared to the freedom of the past, that city has a name. "    

"Your name? "    

"Hehe, well, it's just their reverence. It's not good for me to erase their passion, is it?"    

"Hmph!"    

Tuoba Tian'er said in a deep voice, "In other words, almost all the businesses in the Northern Wei and Sun Moon Country are under your control now?"    

"It's like this on the surface, but I don't care about the details. They can do whatever they want."    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and said with a smile, "So it is all my subordinates who are in charge. My business is too big. Why would I care so much? They will only think of ways to find me when something big needs to be done. After that, get a letter and directly approve it."    

"Hmph, isn't this just like an emperor?"    

"Er... this... This is just a management method, don't be so formal."    

"Hmph!"    

"The ones who really surprised me are those bandits. "    

"What's wrong with the bandits? They weren't all killed?"    

"What's there to kill? When they pick up their weapons, they're bandits. If they put down their weapons, they would be ordinary people, not be charged with a crime on their heads. To be honest, in this world, who doesn't have a moment of impulse to kill someone and commit a crime? It was just that the vast majority of people could only endure it. They were just those who could not endure it. But they still held it in. As long as they were given a chance... Of course, there were also some fellows who could not stand up at all... As for those people, I don't need my men to do anything. They will kill themselves. I still have the confidence to do so."    

"What exactly is going on?"    

"It's nothing. It's just that they have become the bodyguards of the Security Bureau and the City Guards."    

"Ah?!"    

"The guards were shocked. Then... wouldn't that mean that they would steal from others? They were bandits to begin with..."    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "People always change. Give them a chance. They have indeed proven themselves. There are indeed those who steal from others. If they were given a chance, they would think of a way to get something for free. Sneaking or doing something even worse, but... the ones who understood them the most were their companions. We don't have to care about them at all. They will deal with their own people. They were ordered to stay in the police station. They will bleed, the blood of their former brothers. To put it bluntly, it is a conflict of interest. Some people still want that kind of free life. Some people wanted a stable and stable life, people with different ideals. They were working together again. So what if they were brothers? At that time, there were more than 9,000 people who were enlisted. After a few months, this number dropped to more than 4000. The rest of the people had all died at the hands of their own people. Clean and tidy. "    

Xiao Yun said it in a light tone.    

However, Tuoba Tian'er could still hear a hint of ruthlessness, cold-blooded, and cruel in it.    

It must have been hell for some people during that period of time.    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and suddenly turned his head to ask, "So what I do for this business path is to let them be reborn from the ashes. Your life is better, and besides criticizing me here, you also have to blame me. What else have you done? I am from the Qin Country, but you are from the North Wei. And you have a very high position. Isn't that so? "
