Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 631: Alien Races in the Small World of Japan
Nowadays, the island of Japan has changed a lot. The steam machinery improved by the dwarves has become more and more common. In addition to steam ships, the first railway running through the main island was opened two years ago. Now it has penetrated into all aspects of life. Even in the palace, there are many sophisticated steam engines replacing manpower.

In addition, there were many changes that surprised Yan Xu.

Some familiar old faces looked haggard. After all, they did human work during the day and dead people's work at night. If they didn't die now and go directly to the underworld to work full-time, they would have chosen to die long ago.

Yan Xu was embarrassed to show up. After all, they were all old acquaintances. What if they asked for leave? Wouldn't the work then fall on others? So for the sake of others' health, he quietly left Kyoto without disturbing anyone.

Not far outside the city is the station that connects Kyoto and Amano Castle. It covers a vast area and not only has a convenient platform and a fully functional train repair shop, but also a warehouse area large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of tons of cargo.

The railway paved with sleepers and rails is like a thick artery. The steam-belching locomotive pulls the long carriages, blows the whistle to enter the station, and delivers goods from afar.

The porters, who had just taken a break, immediately swarmed up and carried the goods tirelessly. They had to take advantage of the time when the train was adding water and coal for maintenance to unload the goods from the carriage as quickly as possible. They could not delay the train's departure again, because every round trip of the train could bring huge profits, so they had to move quickly, which was the only requirement for them.

The transported goods will be stored in warehouses or shipped directly to the city to supply the huge city of Kyoto for consumption. This is not a small number, so every day is very busy.

However, despite being busy, everyone has a smile on their face that comes from hard work and wealth, because no one here dares to delay wages, not to mention that if the gang succeeds, they can get the full amount, so no one feels tired and everyone has plenty of energy.

With the construction of the third railway, the price of tickets has dropped a lot, and the number of people choosing to travel by train has gradually increased, making the platform no longer a decoration.

However, the price of train tickets is still unaffordable for ordinary people, at least not the first choice. This also makes taking the train a very respectable thing, at least they can brag about it for a long time after returning, so they will try their best to make themselves appear more in line with this elegant way of travel, such as changing into bright clothes, putting on heavy makeup, and speaking in a theatrical tone that does not sound like a human voice.

In Yan Xu's opinion, this was simply crazy, but the people here looked at these elegant passengers who got off the train with envy, until they got on the Japanese car outside and drove away in a pretentious manner, completely unaware that this set of clothes cost them half a year's savings. After all, this set of clothes was not cheap.

Shaking his head, Yan Xu continued his journey. He wanted to see more to prove that his efforts had not been in vain.

After leaving the prosperous circle of Kyoto, the surrounding areas returned to agricultural life. Due to the lack of plains, the cultivated land on the main island is of different shapes and uneven, but this does not prevent farmers from carefully tending to the crops, because it is related to the food and clothing of the whole family.

Because of the unification of Japan, Yan Xu fixed the tax rate at 50%, which was a kindness that the farmers who had experienced the Warring States Period could never dream of, because apart from this part of the tax, they did not need to pay any additional taxes, including labor.

At the same time, due to the promotion of high-yield seeds, even if half of the grain was paid, the rest could not only fill their stomachs, but also be sold in exchange for salt and cloth.

However, the literacy rate among the people is still very low, and Yan Xu has no intention of promoting it, mainly because there is no need.

The technological laws of the small world of Japan are missing. Before they are completed, promoting education will be meaningless except for causing trouble.

What's more, what he needs are honest working cattle and horses, not intelligent and terrifying upright apes.

The samurai class still remained, and they were allowed to hire farmers to cultivate the rewarded farmland and only had to pay 30% tax, so that they had enough time and money to practice martial arts.

When it finishes its training, it will become a good hunting dog that will be eager to work for him.

Since the Warring States Period ended, life everywhere has become much more peaceful. Even the newly born ghosts tend to play pranks rather than eat people.

It's not that there aren't any, but they were destroyed before they could live to commit all kinds of evil. Do you really think that the Guandi Temple and Mazu Temple everywhere are just for show? Even if the priestesses in the Mazu Temple don't wield naginata, they are not much inferior in a real fight, not to mention the bunch of Yin-Yang masters who are bored. Yan Xu had thought of separating humans from ghosts before, but it was not realistic. The underlying rules can be modified but not cancelled, so hundreds of ghosts are still born on the main island.

But most of them were harmless, and since many shrine maidens and onmyojis had nothing to do, he didn't bother to care.

In addition to the hundreds of demons, some non-human races have also appeared in the Japanese world.

These non-human races came from several other world fragments and came here accidentally.

As his control over the small world of Japan deepened, and after opening up the reincarnation of several world fragments, Yan Xu began to work on the restoration.

To repair it, at least a few fragments of the world must be pieced together first.

Yan Xu not only did it himself, he also mobilized a big one, using the small world of Japan as the core to attract the fragments of the world that had long been separated to attract each other closer.

This is not an easy job. First of all, the force required to move the fragments of the world is simply astronomical. If it weren't for the fact that Big One could use the power of the strange sea, it would probably not be that simple.

Secondly, the movement cannot be too big, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the world fragments, such as a flood destroying the world.

Even though Yan Xu had tried his best to be careful, as the distance got closer, problems such as space compression and cracking still occurred.

That is to say, matter or organisms from several world fragments may appear in other world fragments at any time, which is called time travel.

Material things were fine, but biological things were a bit troublesome. When elves and dwarves appeared on the main island, they caused quite a stir.

Fortunately, some veterans of the alien expeditionary force recognized that they were elves and dwarves, so they reported them immediately. Then Princess Fukushima gave instructions to treat them equally.

As a result, the main island of Japan had some new residents from alien races. Anyway, they would be able to go home after the fragments of several worlds merged with each other. As for the waiting time, it was nothing considering the lifespan of the two races.

Because of the Tianxin consciousness, language is not a problem, but clothing and food are still the problems that need to be solved first.

The dwarf picked up his old craft and became a blacksmith, or helped repair and manufacture steam engines. Except for the sake that was not to his taste, everything else was fine, especially his height. It was rare that he found confidence in this aspect. The only problem was that the woman who came to him was too thin and had no beard, which was not good.

Compared to the dwarves who are closer to life, the elves still choose to stay in the forest and keep their distance, but the elves' handicrafts are quite popular, and some female elves choose to become witches.

They are very interested in this profession, and it is obviously only a matter of time before the belief in Guandi and Mazu spreads to the elves.

But another alien species is very powerful, and that is Uma Musume.
