Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 244 Chapter 244: Because of the existence of imperial power, the Internet cannot develop!

A dozen big cities with a population of millions are enough to make people feel breathtaking!

In other words, the combined population of these ten or so cities with a population of several million is equal to the population of the entire Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period!
Fang Xiaoru and others never expected that just on the first day after traveling three hundred years later, they would feel what it means to be shocked one after another!

If this state lasts for a whole month, they will doubt whether their hearts can withstand such stimulation!
At this moment, bursts of cheers and shouts came from a small square ahead, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!

The group of people came directly to the small square, only to find that a street arm wrestling competition was being held here!
Although there are no specific restrictions on participating in the competition, as long as you are confident in your wrist strength, you can sign up, but those who actually sign up to participate in this kind of competition, just looking at their head and muscles, are not comparable to ordinary people. of!
All I can say is that just by looking at their appearance, these contestants are really quite bluffing!

This also aroused Lan Yu's competitive spirit!
Can anyone sign up?
Then he wants to try it too!
He also wanted to see how capable this person would be more than three hundred years later.
"Master, do you want to come with us?"

Lan Yu was ready to make a move, turned to look at Zhu Xia Feng, and took the initiative to invite.

"Forget it, if you're interested, just try it yourself!"

Zhu Xifeng waved his hand without interest.

If he ends up, these ordinary people will not be able to be tortured by him with one finger!

"This business building was actually built in the 31st year of Hongwu. It has undergone two major repairs during this period. It is still almost the same as before after three hundred years!"

Lan Yu didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Zhu Xifeng was not interested, he decided to sign up and give it a try himself!

Everyone became interested after hearing this, and the group walked directly towards the Shuntian Business Building!
After more than ten minutes, a group of people walked up to this huge business building, but there was no way to enter it directly!
To put it simply, today's business buildings in Sunchon City are just like high-end clubs in modern society, and they are also membership-only clubs. Ordinary people cannot enter at all, unless you are a member here!

Zhu Xifeng even snorted disapprovingly.

"It's actually a business building in Shuntian!"

Another example is Zhu Xifeng, who looks strong and strong. Those who don’t know may think that he also comes from the gym. But this guy has a real physique and is not grown by taking hormones!
"There's nothing interesting to see in this bustle, let's go ahead and take a stroll!"

Soon, Zhu Di was attracted by a stone tablet on the small square outside the business building!

Lan Yu finally understood that such a brave person as Zhu Xifeng would no longer be interested in such excitement.

However, it didn't take long for Lan Yu to lose interest and leave. She was not even interested in the gym membership or time card rewards, and she didn't even want the prizes!

"But you were right at the time. Shuntian Mansion didn't have the capital and confidence to support the construction of a commercial building. Even if it were built, it wouldn't be of much use!"

"Didn't I tell you about the construction of a commercial building when I first arrived in the northwest?"

And the person in charge of the construction was actually King Zhu Di of Yan!
“Have you already planned to build a commercial building in Sunchon?”

And the last time he traveled to modern society, he discovered that these seemingly strong men in later generations were actually so weak that he didn't even notice. This level of competition did not arouse his interest at all!

Because the stone tablet is engraved with some things that happened in Sunchon Commercial Building from its construction to the present!
When everyone heard this, they were all refreshed!
Thirty-one years of Hongwu?
The Hongwu Dynasty has now reached the 29th year of Hongwu!
In other words, after they return, it will take more than a year at most before the construction of the Shuntian Commercial Building will begin!

Although Lan Yu looks thin and tall, and does not look too oppressive, his explosive power is extremely strong, at least there are few opponents among ordinary people!

"Did you see that tall building over there?"

"Nowadays, these men look quite strong, but why are they all like embroidered pillows, and none of them can hold a breath in our hands?"

There are various conditions for becoming a member here. In short, those who can enter and exit this business building are definitely rich or noble!
In this era, the imperial power was still at its peak, and the class hierarchy was even more strict, not to mention that among their group, except Zhu Yuanzhang, the rest of them didn't even have an ID card!

At this time, Zhu Di pointed to a looming Shuntian Business Building in the distance with a large signboard, and greeted everyone.

Nowadays, these killing skills and martial arts seem to have slowly withdrawn from the stage of history!
"Hmph, it's just some muscle gained by eating some muscle-building powder or something like that. It's just a good idea but not useful!"

Zhu Yue asked with a smile.

"We still need to develop the economy of Shuntian Mansion first before the commercial building can be used!"

"According to what this stone tablet says, in the thirty-first year of Hongwu's reign, Shuntian Mansion should have been qualified to build commercial buildings!"

"This also shows that I have developed Shuntian Mansion well in the past few years!"

Zhu Di showed a proud look on his face!

"What a pity. Even if you built this commercial building, we can't get in now!"

Zhu Biao looked at the Shuntian Commercial Building in front of him and sighed helplessly.

Of course, this means that they are still undercover. In this era, except Zhu Yuanzhang, no one else has an identity!
If they get in touch with the royal family, they will naturally be able to enter this business building whenever they want, and sleep in it every day!

"By the way, Lao Jiu, didn't you contact the royal family?"

"When will they come?"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Yue at this time.

"It should be evening, let's go shopping first, then go find a bathhouse to take a bath, and wait for that boy Zhu Zhiqin to lead the people to pick us up!"

Zhu Yue said with a smile.

"Bathhouse?"

"Last time I stayed in an Internet cafe all night, now I want to change to a bathhouse?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he was immediately speechless.

"It doesn't even take one night. After dinner, I can experience the bathhouse's bathing service. I guess the royal family will be here too!"

Zhu Yue waved his hand noncommittally.

"Huh? Isn't that a computer?"

At this moment, Zhu Xifeng suddenly saw a printing shop on the roadside, with an excited look on his face! Zhu Yue and others also turned around and saw that there was indeed a printing shop opposite, hanging sheep heads and selling dog meat!

In this era, there is no such concept as an Internet cafe, but in this era there are large-scale monitors. It is normal to have more than ten or twenty computers in a print shop like this!
Because these computers will have some very simple stand-alone games, and there are definitely no online games. At most, they are just stand-alone games connected to a local area network!

Zhu Li remembers that the concept of Internet cafes, even in the original time and space, only gradually emerged 20 years later. In the s, you could get a large computer in such a black Internet cafe and play a few single-player games. Games are already considered a very good entertainment!
There is also a sign hanging at the door of this printing shop, which states the price of using a computer, which is 1 dragon yuan coin per hour.

According to the current purchasing power of 1 dragon yuan coin, which can buy half a catty of meat, this price is quite expensive!

So there were not many people playing inside. There were more than 20 big-head computers, and there were only a few young people sitting there playing unknown stand-alone games!

"I thought there were no computers in this era and I couldn't play games. I didn't expect there would be computers three hundred years later!"

Brothers Zhu Xifeng and Zhu Xiaqiu immediately became excited.

Since the end of their last time travel, the two brothers have been forced to quit their Internet addiction. Now that they have the opportunity to play on the computer again, it is absolutely great news for them!
"Don't be too happy too early, you will be disappointed!"

Zhu Yue reminded Zhu Xifeng and the others that he could probably imagine what was going on in the dark Internet cafes of this era.

As for Fang Xiaoru, Lan Yu and others, this was the first time they came into contact with a new thing like computers. They didn’t understand anything at all and could only stare!

In addition, only Zhu Yuanzhang had an ID card, so Zhu Xifeng could only beg Zhu Yuanzhang to open a machine directly.

The scene of more than a dozen people guarding a machine seemed a bit strange. Fortunately, the boss was given an extra 10 dragon yuan coins and he didn't say much. Anyway, there weren't many people coming to play!

Soon, Zhu Xifeng started to operate the computer, but he immediately looked disappointed.

Whether it was the display effect of the large monitor or the roughness of the operating system, he felt very disgusted!

Not to mention the few stand-alone games installed in this computer, most of which are mainly small puzzle games, such as the large-scale online games in modern society, which are not available at all!
Zhu Yue had already expected this result, and there was a look on his face that said it was indeed the case.

When he thought about it, computers had not yet become popular in this era. Unlike in later generations, basically every household had a computer, so there was no comparison at all!
The environment created by online games has not yet been formed, so there is no such concept at all!

"There's not much news available online, right?"

"What kind of websites are these? The layout is too simple, and the news they send out is all the same current affairs information!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xiafeng after browsing several websites, and suddenly showed a lack of interest.

"It's normal. This is also the result of imperial power control!"

"In the era of imperial power, the Internet was completely supervised by the court. Even what each computer did could be monitored by the relevant departments of the court. They only show you the information they want to see!"

"At this time, the computer only serves as a platform for the public to receive information, and it is also a platform for unilaterally receiving information."

“It is simply impossible for ordinary people to put their own things online!”

"In this era, not even a social software exists yet! People can't communicate in real time online through computers!"

Zhu Yue was analyzing slowly on the side.

The existence of imperial power is doomed that the era of Internet explosion will never come!
Unless the era of imperial power ends one day, perhaps this aspect will usher in real rapid development!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The existence of imperial power will indeed have a huge conflict with the Internet age.

First of all, it is impossible for the court to allow free speech on the Internet to happen. There are too many uncontrollable factors!
"If nothing else happens, the development of the Internet in this era will be the slowest, and it will even remain in this state for a long time, maybe one or two hundred years!"

"Unless one day, the imperial court is willing to open up restrictions on the Internet, so that ordinary people can access the Internet and use the Internet to do what they want to do!"

Zhu Yue also sighed helplessly.

However, although the Internet information in this era is scarce, some mainstream information can still be found on the Internet!
You can still find some videos, songs or movies online!
It’s just not comparable to modern society!
Of course, you can also see some information on the Internet that the court is willing to disclose to ordinary people, such as the history of the Ming Dynasty, etc., you can find it!

Of course, there will only be more hidden information that cannot be seen by ordinary people!
These are also the effects of imperial power!
……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhiqin, who is in his thirties, is currently wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, listening to an old Taoist priest who has just entered the palace, reporting to him the news of the death of ancestor Chengwu!

"You said that Ancestor Chengwu came out of the Emperor Soul Tower? And you were asked to contact me?"

After listening to the old Taoist priest's report, Zhu Zhiqin's eyes suddenly widened!
Emperor Chengwu Zhu Yue is the most mysterious among the many ancestors of the Zhu family, and Zhu Zhiqin has never seen him before!
And according to his guess, Patriarch Chengwu should not be dead yet!

But the old Taoist priest actually said that Patriarch Chengwu came out of the Emperor Soul Tower!
This sounded incredible to him!

"Are you sure the person contacting you is really Ancestor Chengwu?"

After reacting, Zhu Zhiqin couldn't help but confirm again.

"That's right, there is no need to doubt the identity of Patriarch Chengwu. No one in the Ming Dynasty dared to impersonate him, and no one can impersonate the Patriarch in front of the old Tao!"

The old Taoist priest nodded with determination.

"Is it just Ancestor Chengwu alone?"

Zhu Zhiqin asked again.

"From what Ancestor Chengwu said, there should be other ancestors!"

The old Taoist priest explained slowly.

"Quick! Inform all the royal children in the capital to come back immediately and welcome Ancestor Chengwu back to the palace!"

Zhu Zhiqin did not dare to hesitate and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.
