Ruins of the past

Chu Qiguang put on a mask and walked with a group of people on the field ridge of Yaoyin Village.

Wang Cailiang was reporting to him the current situation in the village.

"The latest statistics show that the number of monsters in the village is 1,052, and the number of farmers is 3,011..."

At Chu Qiguang's request, Yaoyin Village made very detailed statistics on various data in the village.

For example, in terms of population, whether it is a newly arrived monster or a newly born little monster, all information such as name, age, breed, etc. must be registered.

Although the statistical task increases the workload of the village, it also makes the management of Yaoyin Village more effective, and various tasks and policies can be implemented on the head of every villager.

Nowadays, the number of monsters in Youyin Village has reached a new high, but because of the presence of farmers, only a small number of monsters are needed to complete agricultural work.

A large number of monsters were liberated from the land, so under Chu Qiguang's instructions, the village began to add schools and offer various courses.

In addition to basic thinking, literacy, numeracy, and martial arts, the content also includes craftsmanship classes.

The purpose is to train these monsters into qualified workers so that Yaoyin Village can have more workers, craftsmen, administrators, teachers...

Chu Qiguang came to the school, looked at the monsters who were practicing martial arts on the school grounds, and nodded slightly: "Martial arts training requires some selections. If they don't have much martial arts talent, they can actually be allowed to work in the direction of craftsmen, administrators, teachers, etc. develop."

Wang Cailiang nodded aside, and at this moment the vice principal of the school came out and began to introduce the current situation of the school to Chu Qiguang and others.

The vice-principal's name is Hu Sanshui, and he is also a fox demon, but because he is an innate species, he has a human form when he is born.

The human form at this moment is that of a rather decent-looking middle-aged man.

He was originally the steward of Thirteen Niang's family, and he escaped with Thirteen Niang and the others.

After Shisanniang decided to completely surrender to Chu Qiguang, he also began to work for Yaoyin Village.

Because of his quick mind and good literacy, after being trained in the labor camp, he went to work in a school and began to teach literacy classes to other monsters.

Because of his good performance along the way, he was gradually promoted to vice principal.

As for the principal of the school, Qiao Zhi naturally serves as the principal.

Because apart from Chu Qiguang, only Qiao Zhi in the whole village knows best what kind of demon talent he wants to cultivate.

Even Qiao Zhi knows better than Chu Qiguang how to teach, how to learn, and what courses to offer...

After all, these are things that Qiao Zhi has experienced personally.

Qiao Zhi thought to himself: 'What we are opening now is the technical school that Chu Qiguang will open in the future. ’

Looking at the school in front of him, he seemed to recall his previous difficult schooling experience.

Planting cotton in the countryside... Later, I went to the city to work in a factory... I went to school every night...

The only difference is the ideological class.

Qiao Zhi thought to himself: 'Speaking of my last life, I remember that the country's land clearing was completed, Chu Qiguang later became the chief minister of the cabinet, and the court also promoted new crops. Under these circumstances...many people no longer need to farm and gradually go to cities to work. ’

'As for technical schools, it was only later that after the steam loom was developed, there were more and more factories, workers' demands became higher, and the imperial court began to promote the opening of monster schools... Humph... Who could have imagined the growth of demon dyeing? Next...the imperial court will start using monsters...'

'But now...it's different again. ’

Qiao Zhi looked at the school in front of him, at Yaoyin Village, at the elevated blood vessels in the distance, at the farmers working in the fields... His thoughts were ups and downs in his heart: "Everything is different. What will happen to this world?" What has it become?”

Chu Qiguang is quite satisfied with the school's curriculum: "Yes, in the future Yaoyin Village, every monster must be literate, be able to count, and have a special skill."

Liu Yao followed Chu Qiguang, amazed in his heart since entering the village.

In his opinion, farmers become a strong army if they have weapons.

In his opinion, the monsters in the school can become a group of subordinates who can be used to settle accounts and do work with a little training.

The cleanliness and tidiness of the entire Yaoyin Village were beyond his expectation. To him, this was a kind of terrifying discipline and obedience.

'The monsters in this village can form a strong army if you pull them out. Even if you train these monsters, I think they can be enough to manage several provinces...'

‘The ambition of this organization is indeed not small. ’

In particular, he felt a vigor and efficiency in the monsters here that was not found in the outside world.

Liu Yao was even more surprised when Chu Qiguang brought him to the Yaoyin Village workshop.

When he was watching from a distance, Liu Yao hadn't noticed any abnormalities in the air and blood vessels.

But now that he got closer, he looked at the air and blood vessels growing out of the blood pool, and found that this thing was actually alive, and even beat from time to time.

‘What the hell is this? ’

Then he followed everyone into the workshop connected to the air and blood vessels.

I saw that the workshop in front of me was huge and brightly lit, and every craftsman was wearing the same kind of cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

The pipes that passed all the way from the blood pool began to branch here, turning into more than ten thin tubes, which grew to different locations in the workshop.

Some pipelines are connected to a large pool. As Qi and blood circulate in the pool, new bone tools can be seen being born in it from time to time.

Some pipelines are connected to the bottom of a mule machine, which is bringing power to the machines.

There are also some pipes that look like a mess, vaguely forming human shapes.

Chu Qiguang said: "Let me introduce you."

Wang Cailiang called the person in charge of the workshop and introduced them one by one.

The person in charge is named Zhu Fashan, who was originally a blacksmith in a village in Qingyang County.

After being forced into bankruptcy by the corvee, the family of four had no choice but to go begging in the county town to make a living. Later, they were kidnapped by Wang Cailiang.

At first, he was afraid of Yaoyin Village and thought about escaping all day long.

It wasn't until the whole family was subjected to the Heavenly Demon's Foundation Building Technique that they gave up.

But after staying for half a year, he gradually got used to life in Yaoyin Village.

After all, there are no corvees, no taxes, and all food and drink expenses are distributed according to work. On the contrary, his life is better than that outside.

Zhu Fashan led everyone to the large pools, pointed to the qi and blood vessels connected to the pools, and said: "The qi and blood from the blood pools pass to the workshop, and we found that it can also be used to make bone tools..."

"We use the qi and blood in the qi and blood vessels over there to pull the mule machine... But this qi and blood must both come here and go back to form a cycle..."

"But it was too troublesome to dig all the way, so we erected the pipeline and arranged patrols to patrol and protect the pipeline..."

Wang Cailiang and Chu Qiguang whispered next to him: "Digming pipelines underground is really too time-consuming in terms of manpower and material resources. In comparison, the cost of erecting pipelines and setting up a patrol team to patrol them is less than one-tenth of the cost."

Zhu Fashan led everyone to the group of gas and blood vessels that vaguely formed a human shape, and introduced: "The gas and blood vessels here are the most complicated, and they were all designed by Miss Huang and Miss Zhou."

Miss Huang is the thirteenth mother, and Miss Zhou is Zhou Yujiao. After hearing this, she immediately jumped out and introduced her own ideas.

"The qi and blood in the blood pool are also qi and blood. If the blood pool can also perform martial arts, it will be even more powerful!"

Although it was Zhou Yujiao who came up with this idea, she did not know martial arts, so the specific design of the circulation route of the qi and blood vessels was done by Shisanniang, a fifth-level warrior.

Thirteenth Niang introduced at this moment: "After all, this pipeline is just a pipeline, and it does not have a matching physical body. I followed some crude martial arts methods of qi and blood circulation and inserted it into the pipeline. Currently, it can only be used to accelerate qi and blood. ."

Chu Qiguang looked at several sets of test tubes, but thought in his heart: 'If all the effects of martial arts can be achieved using blood pools...'

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He looked at Thirteenth Niang and said, "Let the five realm warriors in the village come over to help design the Qi and blood vessels."

"The route of each trial must be written down, and the results must also be written down."

"You should think of more ways to see if you can reproduce the effects of various martial arts using the Qi and blood vessels."

Zhu Fashan on the side looked at Chu Qiguang who was talking eloquently, hesitated for a moment, and finally said bravely: "I'm afraid it can't be done, Your Majesty."

Chu Qiguang frowned and looked over: "Why can't you do it?"

Zhu Fashan was originally just a blacksmith in the village, but now that he was glanced at by Chu Qiguang, he immediately hesitated.

Chu Qiguang said: "You can feel free to speak out and tell me any difficulties you have. I won't blame you."

Zhu Fashan then said: "Although the strength of the blood pool is still growing, it is increasingly insufficient for us. It is useless no matter how many people come to help. The more people come, the worse it will be..."

Chu Qiguang listened to the other party's ramble, and a hint of understanding gradually appeared in his eyes, but his brows wrinkled again: 'The power of the blood pool is not enough? ’
