The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

Su Xuan was not in a hurry to return to Xianyang, but took Yu Lingxin on a journey to experience the customs and habits of different places.

The two men rode the horses they bought from the market and traveled to Chengdu County, Pi County, and Fan County under the jurisdiction of Shu County.

Most people in Shu are good at raising silkworms and fishing. This is related to the founding king of Shu, Cancong, and Yufu.

Cancong was good at silkworm breeding and led the tribe from primitive society to agricultural civilization. Yufu was good at fishing and hunting and was the third generation king of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Of these two founding kings, the most impressive work is Li Bai's The Road to Shu is Difficult.

The bronze crowned mask with vertical eyes and the golden scepter carved with fish and birds discovered in Sanxingdui in later generations are the relics of the two.

Of course, there is also a saying that it was created by people in later generations in appreciation of their achievements.

After arriving in Jiangyuan County, the two found an inn to rest. As soon as they entered the inn, they heard people whispering.

"Hey, have you heard? Recently, the county magistrate is planning to set up a weaving bureau and recruit a large number of skillful weavers. The monthly salary is actually 100 coins!"

"Brother Li, your news is true. I'll have my wife register in advance. If it's too late, we won't get this good thing."

"I don't know if the Textile Bureau accepts men. I am actually quite handy."

"Pfft, Brother Wu, don't worry. In addition to the Weaving Girl Bureau, the county is also planning to build a machinery factory. It is said that it will produce ironware and bicycles. You are so clever and handy, it's just right for you to use them."

......

Yu Lingxin drank her tea while quietly listening.

After a few days, she had a general understanding of the prices. The annual income of an ordinary farmer's family of five was about 1000 coins. Although it was enough to meet their basic needs, there was often not much left over at the end of the year. Once they encountered disasters or family changes, they would often be stretched to the limit.

But if one person had that much income, the situation would certainly improve a lot.

Yu Lingxin was also very interested in the textile machines they were talking about. If the efficiency could be increased tenfold as they said, then their Shushan clan could also buy a batch of them.

Whether for personal use or for production and sale, it will surely improve the lives of the tribe.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Su Xuan. As the Prime Minister of Qin, he should be very familiar with these things.

Su Xuan really knows a lot about these things because he is the one who is in charge.

The curved plow, the spinning jenny, and various inventions were all designed to liberate labor.

The purpose of liberating labor is to rapidly develop technology.

Otherwise, it is pure daydreaming to expect a group of people who can't even afford enough food and clothing to develop and create.

Another purpose is to dump goods on neighboring and overseas countries, reap wealth wantonly, and use the wealth of various countries to provide for the people of our Great Qin.

After several years of recuperation, when the country is prosperous and the people are strong and other countries are impoverished, it will be natural for conquest to come about.

Seeing Yu Lingxin's curious look, Su Xuan stretched out his hand, and conjured up the phantoms of a textile machine and a bicycle in his palm, and introduced to her the usage and functions of these two things.

"When we get to Xianyang, I'll give you one too."

Yu Lingxin's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Brother Su Xuan."

As the two of them traveled around the world, they changed the way they addressed each other. If they were to show off and announce their identities, it would be meaningless.

The two men rested for a night in the inn and set off the next day to travel around the country and see the scenery of various places. They also performed several chivalrous deeds.

When passing by a village called Niu Fo Village, the villagers were worshiping the river god. They placed the prepared three kinds of animals and five kinds of fruits, money, and several tied-up young women on a raft, praying for good weather, no diseases and no disasters every year. The raft was delivered to the river god by the messenger of the god himself.

It is worth mentioning that it is this messenger who delivers sacrifices to the river god every year.

Needless to say, all the things given to the river god were gladly accepted by the envoy. Su Xuan and Yu Lingxin followed the envoy all the way to his residence. When they went in, the envoy was sitting with his legs crossed, surrounded by beautiful girls. He said that he had brought back several sisters for them, and they would taste them later.

Yu Lingxin's eyes widened with anger when she saw this scene. She immediately showed up and used the Teng Nuo fighting technique to beat him until he became paralyzed. However, this messenger of God had been able to fool the people for years without being exposed, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve. Although his martial arts were weaker, he had rich experience in fighting and they were evenly matched for a while.

"Lingxin, you step back first." Su Xuan reminded from behind, and then took out the pistol he developed himself.

"Brother Su Xuan, what is this?" Yu Ling stepped aside to Su Xuan's side and looked at the thing in his hand with puzzled eyes.

hidden weapon?

"Boy, you don't think you can deal with me with this thing?" The messenger thought he had the upper hand and approached with a sneer, wanting to take down the two men in one go.

boom! boom! boom!

The air was filled with smoke, and the smile on the messenger's face came to an abrupt end. His forehead was pierced by a bullet, and his chest was covered with bullet holes.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan had emptied the magazine.

It perfectly illustrates what it means that the gun is fast from seven steps away and both fast and accurate within seven steps.

Yu Ling was stunned and looked surprised.

Those young women were pale, at a loss, and trembling.

"This thing is called a pistol. No one below the Grandmaster level can resist it, except for those who are good at Qinggong and those who have reached the level of copper skin and iron bones in the outer power technique. Even if a Grandmaster or above has no prior preparation, there is a high probability that he will die from this thing." Su Xuan put it in Yu Lingxin's hand, "I'll give it to you for self-defense."

"Brother Su Xuan, this thing is too valuable, I..."

Yu Lingxin was about to politely refuse, but Su Xuan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't mind it.

"It's just a gadget, and it won't be long before guns become common in the military."

When Yu Lingxin heard this, her eyes suddenly froze and she was secretly shocked.

No one is invincible below the Grandmaster level, and everyone holds a gun. Isn't that equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Grandmasters?

Add to that a volley of gunfire, even those who are at the highest level of heaven and man would be unable to resist!

If this is the case, will anyone still practice martial arts in the future?

After practicing hard for half a lifetime, he is still unable to resist an external object. I am afraid that his spiritual heart will collapse!

"If this kind of weapon becomes widely used, don't you worry about your own safety?" After pondering for a moment, Yu Lingxin couldn't help but ask.

Everyone is equal in front of guns. In the past, assassins still needed to assassinate at close range, but with this weapon, enemies can be killed from a long distance, greatly increasing the threat.

Would the Qin nobles and the King of Qin allow such a weapon to appear?

"Then have you ever thought about another question?" Su Xuan asked back, "If this weapon was invented by other countries and equipped in large quantities, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be?"

"Powerful weapons are the tools that make a country strong. What affects our safety is not the weapons, but the people with evil intentions."

"Banning it for these reasons would probably be fulfilling the wishes of those people."

"Besides, do you think this kind of weapon can pose a threat to me? A powerful cultivator can move mountains and fill the sea, pick up stars and the moon, and shatter the void with his martial arts."

Yu Lingxin opened her mouth into an O shape, "Are these really things that humans can do?"

Su Xuan shrugged and said nothing.

The two men then took these young women back. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, Su Xuan summoned the local county magistrate, explained the whole story to him, and ordered him to properly place these women and crack down on deviant activities. He said he would pay close attention to the matter, and if he failed to handle it well, he would lose his job.

After hearing these words, the local county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.

So after Su Xuan and the other two left, an unprecedented campaign to eliminate feudal superstition was quickly launched.
