At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 509: Wang Laoguai's Shock
There are shops on both sides of the street that sell alcohol, silk, jade, grain, side dishes, rice, flour, meat, and even seeds, electrical appliances, and weapons.

There are also many snack bars with a wide variety of choices, almost everything available.

"Old man, would you like to come in and take a look at the electrical appliances?"

"Old man, would you like to see the jade we just brought in from the Western Regions?"

The shop assistants stood at the door and shouted loudly.

Old Monster Wang walked into an electrical appliance store and looked at the dazzling array of electrical appliances inside with curiosity on his face.

The clerk brought hot tea and asked, "You are not from here, are you?"

"No."

He shook his head.

"Then you must take a good look at it."

The clerk began to introduce it in a torrent of words: "This is an air conditioner produced by Xiliang County Electric Appliance Workshop. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is very comfortable. Many wealthy families in Xiliang City use this air conditioner."

After saying that, he plugged in the power supply, and suddenly a gust of cool air rushed out from the air conditioner and blew on his face, which was extremely refreshing.

"How much silver?"

Old Monster Wang asked.

"One hundred taels of silver."

The clerk said, "It's a bit expensive, but it's durable. It's only for three years. If there's any damage, we'll fully guarantee it."

One hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person in Xiliang to cover a family's expenses for several years.

However, for the people of Xiliang, it is only a few months' expense, and many people can still afford it if they grit their teeth.

"I'll take a look."

Old Monster Wang really wanted to buy it, but when he thought about his own Wu Di City, it seemed that he had no power and no love, so he couldn't use it.

"Old man, if you think it's too expensive, there are electric fans produced by Xiliang Electrical Appliance Room. They are also easy to use and have a five-year warranty."

The clerk continued to introduce.

"And flashlights, radios, and bicycles."

"It doesn't matter if we don't sell it. If you want to buy it in the future, just come to our store and I'll give you a discount."

The store clerk has a very good attitude.

In the past two years, a large number of electrical appliance shops, iron smelting shops, automobile workshops, etc. have sprung up in every state capital, county and prefecture, like mushrooms after a spring rain, and a hundred flowers are blooming.

Competition among various factories can quickly drive down the prices of these things and promote technological updates.

Half an hour later, Old Monster Wang was wandering aimlessly on the streets of Xiliang City with a bottle of sour plum wine in his hand.

The second best in the world finally couldn't resist the hawker's offer.

"I'm not dreaming now."

He recalled the scenes just now and felt that it was extremely unreal.

"Old man, where are you going?"

A car stopped on the road. A young man in the car waved and called out, "Would you like a ride?"

“Liu’s beef noodles.”

Wang Laoguai asked, "How much?"

"How about forty cents?"

The man made an offer a year ago, "If you think it's a good deal, get in the car."

Old Monster Wang got into the back seat of the car, closed the city gate, and the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.

"Old man, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find where you went."

"Liu's Beef Noodles was originally on the main street, but now it has moved to Baihu Street, which is not very close."

Young men strike up a conversation.

“I haven’t been here for several years.”

Wang Laoguai sighed: "It has changed so much."

"Yes."

The man nodded: "If you had come a few years later, the changes would have been even greater."

"How much is a car?"

Old Monster Wang suddenly asked.

"It's not cheap." The man said, "I spent five thousand taels of silver to buy this car. There are better ones above that, and they are more expensive."

"Where can I buy it?"

Old Monster Wang asked again.

"Old man, do you want to buy a car?"

The man looked back.

"Ah."

Old Monster Wang nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you to the Xiliang Auto Shop."

Half an hour later, an extremely handsome streamlined sports car was speeding on the streets of Xiliang. Old Monster Wang was sitting in the driver's seat, feeling the powerful speed, and his face was full of joy.

My heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

within a short period of time.

He had some understanding of the technology developed by Xiliang, which could make the lives of ordinary people better and more convenient.

People no longer have to live the life of slash-and-burn farming, rely on the weather for food, ride horses when going out, or endure the bitter cold in summer and winter.

Not only ordinary people can enjoy the benefits of technology, but warriors can too.

After eating beef noodles, Wang Laoguai drove out of Xiliang City and headed towards the past along the Xiliang Jizhou Highway.

The fierce wind was howling, there were still many cars on the road, and towering iron towers stood tall.

The sky gradually darkened and the dusk fell. The street lamps on both sides lit up, emitting bright light. In the distance, the villages and towns were brightly lit and noisy sounds could be heard faintly.

Driving from Xiliang to Youzhou, then to Yongzhou and Liangzhou, to Jibei Bow and Crossbow, all the way north.

Really turned upside down.

What he saw and heard along the way once again shocked the second best man in the world.

The clean and wide roads lead to all directions, and there are various county roads, prefecture roads, state roads, and intersecting railways.

We arrived at the northernmost part of Xiliang, played there for a few days, then drove south, and finally returned to Xiliang City.

Old Monster Wang already has a general understanding of the current situation in Xiliang.

If he were to ask himself honestly, he didn't seem like going back to Wudi City.

He felt that it would be more interesting to stay in Xiliang, so the second best man in the world bought two hotels in Xiliang City.

I drive my own car around every day.

I would visit Wudi City from time to time.

And at this time.

Xiao Han and his group also returned to Shuiyun Mountain. They practiced martial arts with the women for a few days, until they killed them and made them kneel down and beg for mercy. This time they would not stop.

The sky gradually became cooler, the grass and trees turned yellow, and sparse snowflakes fell. Inside the main hall, Xiao Han was listening to opera on the radio.

"Husband."

Ning Xi walked in, holding a memorial in his hand, and said, "This is a draft of the telegram to be sent to various places. Take a look at it so I can have them send it out."

He took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "Send it like this."

"When the ice and snow melt in the spring next year, we will march into the Central Plains."

"When the time comes, I will personally take charge and command the central army."

Now in Xiliang, messages are sent by radio instead of the 800-mile express.

He left the table and walked away.

He closed his eyes and thought in his mind.

At present, the 500,000 elite troops of Xiliang have completed the initial transformation.

It's time to take over the world.

At least Xiao Han felt that the time had come. If he continued to delay, the gap in technological levels between Xiliang and Central Plains would become increasingly larger.

All winter long.

Xiliang is preparing for the upcoming war. The various factories under the Industrial Manufacturing Bureau are producing various firearms, cars, artillery, and hand cannons day and night.

Batches of weapons were transported by train to garrisons in various places.

There were eight hundred camps, black armor army, tiger and leopard cavalry, huben camp, liangzhou camp, youzhou camp and yongzhou camp, a total of nine cavalry units and the Liaodong navy, totaling 500,000 elite troops.
