Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Xiao Yun and the drunkard had been fighting for a long time. Apart from making the pavilion look cooler and more chaotic, there was no winner or loser in the battle.    

Finally, they were tired of fighting. The clothes on their upper bodies had also become messy, and it was detrimental to their manners.    

On the other hand, the two of them were also worried about the opposite party's sexual orientation.    

So they quickly stopped fighting.    

They asked the brothel keeper to bring a few new sets of clothes and choose to wear them.    

The two of them sat there and drank tea again.    

Xiao Yun said, "Actually, we don't have to eat one of them. Either you eat it or I eat it. The risk is too great. It's too unreliable. We can totally change our way of thinking. Let's deal with this matter. "    

"What kind of way of thinking?"    

The drunkard curled his lips.    

Xiao Yun said, "In the north, near the border of the northern border, there is a desert, a half desert region, but this is also a very important stop on the trade route of the northern border that I have planned."    

" Oh? But the Nanpan Dune? "    

"That's the name given by the Northern Wei. The Qin Country calls that place the Valley of Death."    

The drunkard nodded and said, "It really is that region. That place is really desolate. To be honest, even people like me don't want to get close to that place. And I don't want to go too deep into it for the residents who still live there... I admire them."    

He then asked curiously:" Why did you choose that place? That is definitely not a very good choice"    

"You also know about business?"    

"People have lived for a long time, so they naturally know more about various things"    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "We have to choose that place. Its position is very good. Just like the place we came from, there is an ancient river. It is very easy to build a trade route, and the distance is also very good. It's even better that when a trade caravan is at its most exhausted, it appears... This makes it very easy to make a deal. "    

"Why is it so easy to make a deal?"    

"If we get closer, and the merchant group still has enough stamina, then they will think... I can go further, no matter how much food I eat and drink. It will save money, and the goods will be sold at a higher price. Then the deal would become very difficult, especially when the goods had no pricing to begin with. They will definitely ask for the price, and then find someone with a higher price to sell it. "    

"That is true."    

Xiao Yun said, "If they go further, they will be in danger if they go a bit further. At the most desperate and exhausted time, it was also troublesome to sell goods. They will think that they have survived such a difficult time. If the goods were sold at a cheap price, wouldn't they be at a loss? It will affect the success rate of the deal. "    

" Hmm... it seems to make sense. "    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "That is to say, the distance is just right. They are in a period of extreme fatigue. He thought in his heart that as long as he could sell the goods earlier and sell them earlier, he would sell them earlier. In exchange for money, we can end this trip earlier. In this way, the success rate of the transaction would be much higher. And it just so happened that they were willing to spend a high price to fix it, even if they didn't sell the goods on the spot. They will also be willing to spend money on food, food, and accommodation. This is the foundation of the operation of the city."    

"So that's how it is! Hehe, regarding this kind of control over the human heart, even if I have lived for so many years, I still can't catch up to you. You are really very strong."    

Xiao Yun chuckled.    

However, the drunkard said, "Although I understand all this, the natural environment there is really not suitable. No one knows whether the breathing earth will grow or not. But the desert will expand, and the neighboring area will soon become a desert. At that time, a sandstorm would probably drown the entire city. That's definitely not a very suitable trade route. "    

Xiao Yun said, "Then what do you think is the reason for making that place a desert? You know about the history of the North Wei, especially some of the ancient history. You should also understand it, right? "    

The drunkard nodded and said, "That place was indeed not a desert, but a forest. There was good wood in there, but because of the excessive decapitation of the North Wei, especially in the chaos of war, to build fortifications, or to be baptized by the flames of war. It caused the forest to disappear and eventually turned into a desert... But this is what I saw in the ancient books. Have you read those ancient books? "    

Xiao Yun shook his head and said," There's no need for that. I found out through my analysis. "    

"Analysis?"    

"According to the information from the people below, I know that the ancient river there is not the kind that has dried up for tens of thousands of years. It has only dried up for a hundred years, and that place is still in the state of the desert. There is even a very vast forest around, of course I can think of it... That place has become like this because of excessive chopping and animal herding."    

The drunkard heavily nodded his head and sighed: "Kid, your brain is indeed different from ordinary people. No matter if it's the Imperial Court or the Jianghu, no matter where you are, you will always have an extremely high position"    

Xiao Yun smiled and suddenly asked, "Then do you know what kind of policy I am implementing over there?"    

The drunkard slowly shook his head. This was no longer considered a trade secret, but a matter of national policies. An outsider like him really did not know.    

Xiao Yun said, "The wood over there, I use them to make chopsticks. They are light, of poor quality, but very easy to carry. They can be used to make disposable chopsticks."    

"Huh?!"    

The drunkard widened his eyes and said, "Do you have any enmity with that place? Do you want to cut down all the trees there and turn that place into a desert? "    

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I want to use that place to do big things. I want to make big money. I want them to persist for a long time, even decades or centuries. Of course I won't let them disappear."    

"This..."    

The drunkard tilted his head and said, "But what you did and what you said, it does not match at all. Do what you say? You don't want this kind of person either."    

" Hehe. "    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "That's why your way of thinking is still a little lacking. Changing your way of thinking is very important to you."    

The drunkard frowned and said, "But no matter how I change my way of thinking, it is still not possible! This is the matter, what is the use of changing my way of thinking?"    

Xiao Yun said, "That's because you can't."    

"Bullshit! No one can think of it! This is nonsense. Just say something contradictory!"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "You don't believe me? It's just that you can't. "    

"Other people can't either. No one can. This is a twisted logic!"    

"You can go and ask someone else."    

"Hmph!"    

The drunkard walked out of the pavilion and went to Leng Yueling and Tuoba Tian'er's side. He told them what Xiao Yun had said.    

Then he asked, "Do you guys understand? This is nonsense, right?"    

Tuoba Tian'er thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I also don't understand why he did this, but I keep feeling that if he can say such things, then this matter might be true. Who can say this well?"    

On the contrary, Leng Yueling thought for a while and then said, " Oh, I understand. If we do this, it can indeed make that place better."    

"Ah?!"    

Both of them were shocked.    

Tuoba Tian'er even more so said, "I know. No matter what that brat says, you will feel that it is right. But this matter is really nonsense. You definitely can't understand. You just blindly trust him too much."    

The drunkard also said, "That's right. Girl, you can't trust him that much. If you believe too much, he will lie to you that there is no cost at all. Sooner or later, he will sell you. In the end, you still don't know what's going on. "    

Leng Yueling helplessly smiled bitterly.    

She walked to the side and patted the small tree planted in the courtyard. The tree trunk made banging sounds.    

She then said, "This is really possible. And... it is precisely because Yun used this method that perhaps this is the only way."    

"What do you mean?"    

Both of them became curious.    

Leng Yueling said, "Actually, trees and trees are different."    

"Trees are different? What do you mean?"    

Tuoba Tian'er knitted her brows tightly. To her, she would definitely be able to think of the things Leng Yueling could think of!    

Leng Yueling's strength was within the army formation and above martial arts. So previously, one of them escaped and the other chased. Even if Tuoba Tian'er lost, she was also willing to lose.    

But this kind of management technique, plotting against the Imperial Court, was her advantage. If she still lost, she would probably not want to live anymore.    

The drunkard's head buzzed.    

He was curious and worried that the other party would really say it. Wouldn't that make him seem very dazed?    

Leng Yueling naturally did not consider their thoughts and would not give them a way out.    

She only wanted to protect Xiao Yun's reputation.    

"Chopsticks. They usually use special good wood. It is better than ordinary furniture. After all, it can be used for many years. They also need to be used every day. However, if it was only used once, or simply used a few times to throw it away... He could use some wood that was not that solid. Especially in the north of Qin Country, south of the north of Wei, there was a type of tree called Ten Pit growing in that area. Do you know why it is called Ten Pit?"    

Tuoba Tian'er naturally knew and hurriedly said, "Because that kind of tree is very easy to grow insects. Insects can eat a ditch in it. Usually when the tree is split open, the inside is full of tunnels dug out by insects. It is a crooked path, so it is called Ten Pit. That is a kind of garbage. "    

Trash is indeed trash.    

There aren't many trash in this world.    

Because no matter what kind of wood it was, it would always be able to find the most appropriate way to use it.    

But ten pits... at least for now, they were worthy of being called useless people.    

Because even if it was to burn, because it would burn too quickly, it needed to be filled in the furnace and not be seen by the people.    

Simply put, chopping firewood once and working for a day could normally burn for three to four days. In the end, if ten pits were replaced, it could only be burned for one or two days. Who could bear this?
