The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Shi Feiyang made arrangements for trade with Emperor Taichang and selected a place between the capital and Tianjin.

The emperor sent an eunuch and many craftsmen to meet with him. He told him the scale and purpose. The eunuch asked the craftsmen to draw the drawings and then use them for construction.

The money for land purchase and construction was all taken out of the emperor's internal funds.

After the explanation, Shi Feiyang asked the emperor to find him thirty craftsmen who could build large ships.

The craftsmen were all frightened when they were led over by the Jin Yiwei. When they saw Shi Feiyang, they quickly kowtowed and called him Master National Master.

Shi Feiyang said: "I want to take you out to sea. If everything goes well, it will take a few months, otherwise it may take a few years. You go back and make arrangements with your family. This is the settlement fee for you."

After that, give each craftsman a twenty-two-weight gold bar.

The oldest of these craftsmen was over fifty years old, with wrinkles all over his face. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a big gold bar, and he didn't dare to accept it.

Shi Feiyang stuffed the gold bars into their hands and asked them to send them home quickly and report back in the afternoon.

These people didn't know whether their future would be a blessing or a curse. They went back with the gold bars and called their wives, children, and children together. They burst into tears and said, "This is the money the Imperial Master gave us for our hard work! It is said that he will take us to sea. The mountains are high and the roads are far. There is a high probability that I won’t be able to come back…”

Every family cried and hugged each other. Finally, after explaining everything about the birth of their son and the dowry of their daughter, they said goodbye to their relatives in tears and came to see Shi Feiyang again.

Shi Feiyang used the method of microcosm in the bag of a thousand-mile house, waved his hand and spread out a piece of white light, covering everyone inside, the light flickered and moved away directly.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and imperial guards who were seeing him off were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Imperial Master is really a living god!"

Shi Feiyang left Middle-earth and flew to Little Antarctica with the craftsmen.

He specially passed by the Forty-Seven Islands and found that most of the casual cultivators on the islands here were drinking and having fun, and some were holding "uncovered meetings" in broad daylight.

After arriving outside the Aurora Fire, use Zhou Tianyu's disc to pass through three barriers and return to the Tianwai Mountain again.

As soon as he flew over, there was a big demon who saw him from a distance. When he saw it was him, he hurriedly reported it to the guard Zhuang Xiaoyun.

Zhuang Xiaoyun was supervising the construction of the big ship. After hearing the news, he hurriedly led the crowd to greet him. Hundreds of strange monsters flew in together. When they arrived, they bowed down in front of Shi Feiyang and said in unison: "My subordinates respectfully welcome the Dragon Emperor. May my emperor be with heaven and earth." Live the same life, the sun and the moon shine together!”

Shi Feiyang had a blue sky above his head and a clear sea beneath his feet. The middle land was comfortable, but there was no such majestic atmosphere.

He followed Zhuang Xiaoyun and flew to the golden court. The craftsmen's legs were weak when they were flying in the sky. They first supported each other, then hugged each other, and finally sat on Shi Feiyang's fairy light and hugged each other.

They fell to the ground, and none of them had recovered. Some wanted to stand up from the ground, but their legs were weak and they couldn't get up at all.

Previously, he asked Long Meng and Wu Longzi to come back and deliver a message to build three large ports, one on the west coast, north of the Guangming Realm Archway, and two on the east coast, one outside the Evernight City and the other right here.

At this time, the port has been built and many big monsters are building ships.

To be precise, they were making preliminary preparations for shipbuilding.

Shipbuilding is not a simple matter, especially building large ships. There are so many details. Thousands of years of shipbuilding experience must be accumulated. Otherwise, you will take detours and make them either unusable, unsatisfactory, or even useless. Have to rework.

The advantage that the great demons have over the humans in Middle-earth is that they are very strong. They can easily lift giant trees ten feet high, and can hoist, cut, polish, and transport them. Their efficiency in these aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But in terms of shipbuilding technology, they are not good at it. The optimal ratio of the length of the hull, the optimal curvature of the bow and stern, how to design the watertight cabin, how to arrange the movement of personnel...the monsters know nothing about it.

Because of this, Shi Feiyang brought thirty shipbuilders from China.

These mortals were frightened to death after seeing many monsters with wings on their backs and horns on their heads, or beaks, or fish eyes, and felt that they would be eaten later in the legendary goblin cave.

Shi Feiyang told them not to be afraid: "These are my men. I invite you here this time to help build the ship. The accommodation has been arranged. You just need to live in peace and have good food and drink." Don’t get angry in a hurry. When the ship is built and the first batch of goods is shipped back to China, you can go home with it.”

Zhuang Xiaoyun got Jinxunu's instructions on various matters in person, and had already prepared all the houses. On the south slope of Jinting Mountain, there were a total of thirty wooden houses. They looked simple, but because the monster soldiers were large, the houses were not built. De is also big, stupid and crude, and looks like it was built for a giant who is more than two feet tall.

Shi Feiyang asked the demon soldiers to bring them food, which were all kinds of seafood they caught in the sea, such as lobsters, crystal fish, fire crabs and turtles. The demon soldiers usually eat them raw, and the more sophisticated ones cut them into thin slices and put them on the plate. , eat it with the sauce, otherwise you would bite it hard. Now that it is cooked, the technique is very poor, but the raw materials are good and it still tastes delicious.

The craftsmen had enough to eat and drink, and had a place to stay, so they rested for a night... just slept for a few hours. There was no night in Tianwai Mountain. After they slept enough, their worries finally settled down.

Shi Feiyang asked them to guide the demon soldiers in building ships.

Mortals are weak and can break their legs if they fall from a height of more than ten feet. If they fail, they will be injured and die. Shi Feiyang does not let them work and only uses his mouth to give instructions.

The craftsmen have never seen the wood from Tianwai Mountain, which is as short as more than ten feet long, and as high as more than thirty feet. Some of the wood is like black iron, making a tinkling sound when struck, and some is crystal clear, as if it is carved from crystal jade. .

After looking around, the craftsmen were a little dumbfounded, and cautiously came back to report to Shi Feiyang: "If it were in the middle-earth, the temperament, texture, and grain of these woods, such as pine, cypress, elm, birch, oak, pomelo, etc., would be well understood by this young man. , I know what kind of wood should be exposed to the sun, what kind of wood should be shaded, what kind of wood can be used for the sides, and what kind of wood can be used for the mast. Now, the little old man has never seen these woods, and he doesn’t know how to use them to build a ship. , please forgive me for this..."

Shi Feiyang had already thought of this and was not in a hurry. He asked them to familiarize themselves with these woods first. Not only wood, but also various metals, they had to experiment repeatedly to become familiar with them. Leaving the craftsmen behind in Jinting Mountain, he went to the Evernight City again, where Jin Xunu and Yuan Hua led hundreds of officials to greet him.

Shi Feiyang first asked about the government affairs he had left in the past few years. Both Jinxunu and Yuan Hua had handled it very well. As a heavenly official, Jinxunu represented "governing by doing nothing". He did not directly participate in the governance of the country. He was responsible for observing The heavens formulate the calendar, and then formulate the rituals based on the calendar.

Rites are before the event, telling the people what to do; law is after the event, punishing the people who have done wrong and evil.

It was the team led by local official Yuan Hua that truly governed the country according to the calendar.

Although Yuan Hua came from a different background, he loved "taking the crown as a monkey". Especially after being subdued by Shi Feiyang, he became more and more like an old scholar. He loved reading all kinds of books. He had already read the Four Books and Five Classics a hundred times, and he was very familiar with Confucianism. He wears a Confucian crown, is meticulous in his work, and is almost rigid. He often talks about Hengqu's four sentences: "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and create peace for all generations." "

He also made a ruler out of crystal jade and used it to beat people. The one who got beaten the most was the little ape he had at that time. Over the years, the little ape has grown into a big ape, and the little ape has become a monkey head and a monkey brain. Many human beings were beaten on their hands and heads with a ruler.

When Shi Feiyang talked about the trade with China and Turkey this time, he asked Yuan Hua to send special people to operate the fleet. Those who want to trade with China and Turkey in Tianwai Shenshan should apply to him. After passing the application, they can go to sea with the ship. .

The biggest problem here is currency.

The key point is that the citizens of Tianwai Mountain have little use for silver and copper coins.

In fact, the "silver standard" system established in the middle and late Ming Dynasty had a fatal flaw, that is, the local production of silver in the Ming Dynasty was insufficient and had to be imported from overseas, and overseas trade was controlled by local capital groups...

Shi Feiyang decided to mint a kind of "immortal coin" to destroy the current "silver coin". He first obtained the "minting power" of the entire Ming Dynasty, and then redistributed it to the big landowners, big bureaucrats, and big business groups. A spoonful of it!
Shi Feiyang selected a jade mountain and excavated it. He first took 10,000 kilograms and used magic to cut it into a jade bi that was about an inch in diameter and had a hole in the middle.

This jade is so hard that even steel cannot cut scratches on it. Shi Feiyang sent them into the treasure furnace used to refine the five-color sacred sand, and smelted them with the five elements of true fire for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. The appearance melted, and he created a series of magic formulas on the outside, drawing lines on each jade, with four talismans on the front and nine dragon patterns on the back. Then he injected the five elements of spiritual energy and continued to smelt.

It was not until a hundred days later that the jade bis came out of the furnace. Each jade bi was crystal clear, with five-colored clouds surging inside.

This thing contains five rays of spiritual energy of the five elements, which practitioners can draw out for practice. There are four talismans on the outside, which are taken from the four talismans in the Emperor's Zhoutian Golden Talisman that represent the winter solstice, summer solstice, vernal equinox, and autumnal equinox.

Shi Feiyang named this money Nine Dragon Coins, and then refined smaller Six Dragon Coins, Three Dragon Coins, and Dulong Coins, with an exchange rate of ten.

In other words, one Kowloon coin can be exchanged for a thousand Dulong coins, and he plans to exchange one Dulong coin for one tael of silver.

After the pattern was ordered, he asked the demon soldiers to go to the mountains to get the jade and then cast it.

His furnace was dug out of an entire mountain peak, and the space inside was huge. He first produced 100,000 Nine-Dragon coins in one furnace, then one million Six-Dragon coins, 10 million Three-Dragon coins, and 100 million Du-Dragon coins. .

One Dulong coin can be exchanged for one tael of silver. In China, one tael of silver cannot be used as the minimum currency.

He also took the leaves of dried Tianhuo Bamboo, a specialty of Tianwai Shenshan, to make leaf coins, and asked Yuan Huaxin to set up a department specifically to make money. The name was Tianwai Baobao. One yuan of Baobao is equal to one Dulong coin, and one yuan can be exchanged for ten jiao. , one dime is exchanged for ten cents, one cent is almost equivalent to ten copper coins.

The production of the treasure banknotes was left to Yuan Hua to complete. Shi Feiyang no longer intervened and only formulated the corresponding rules.

When money is made, it must first be circulated in the Tianwai Mountain.

Shi Feiyang first announced that the workers would be paid in Dulong coins. In addition to the original salary, ten years of bonuses would be added.

Then, Yuan Hua was asked to purchase large quantities from the people, including but not limited to, nuts, elixirs, shark silk, shark fiber, pearls, gems, crystal sand, metals, and various specialties from the mountains and sea.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in Shi Feiyang, Tianwai Shenshan has entered a period of peace. All species have grown freely and reproduced rapidly. The "population" has greatly increased. There are already more than three million registered citizens. Now a large amount of money has been spread to the people, and Hearing that the Dragon King was taking everyone to trade with China, those who were interested came to ask Yuan Hua for details.

Shi Feiyang told them in detail that those who met the requirements would write formal application documents, a total of eighty-five.

Shi Feiyang looked at them one by one and picked from them. First of all, the Shan family in the Shark tribe was a rich family and was good at spinning silk and weaving.

Shark ribbons are very famous in China and often appear in the books of the ancients. This must definitely pass and become a famous specialty of the Tianwai Mountain in the future.

Then there is another family called the Lan family, which specializes in growing corals. In fact, they are farming, but because corals look like trees, they just call them planting. This is not bad.

There is also the Zhen family of the Beng clan, which is a large clan that breeds pearls in the Tianwai Sacred Mountain. They can cultivate white pearls, black pearls, purple pearls, yellow pearls, green pearls, etc., and can also make multi-colored pearls.

After all kinds of things, Shi Feiyang selected twenty families and asked them to go back to prepare the products. He also sent tribesmen who could cultivate into human form to wait for the ship to be built and then go to Middle-earth with him to sell it.

In addition to these private transactions, Shi Feiyang also asked Yuan Hua to form an official caravan, which raised 20 million kilograms of grain.

The Heavenly God Mountain fell from the spiritual world, bringing with it a large number of animals and plants from the fairy world. They were also brought in when the Aurora Fire was weak, and they interbred with each other, eventually making a mess.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shi Feiyang changed the habit of eating each other so that his subjects could eat enough. He asked Yuan Hua to bring in crops such as rice, wheat, and beans from outside, and hybridized them with the plants here to cultivate many new and improved varieties. ...The main reason is that the climate here is good, with plenty of sunshine, high temperatures, humidity, and no wind, hail, low temperature and other disasters. Any cucumber can grow a vine as thick as an arm, more than ten feet long, and rice and wheat are even more abundant. It can be harvested five times a year and has an extremely abundant yield, twenty thousand jins of rice, wheat, beans, etc., a total of ten kinds.

Shi Feiyang told Yuan Hua that he would also order people to continue collecting all kinds of seeds for planting and improvement. (End of chapter)
