The demon world I designed

"My lord, is there news from the capital?"

Chen Ying found Chen Qing who was observing the barrier in Daqing Mountain early in the morning.

Shen Yuan took away part of the energy of the Qinglong Array when he left. Although the energy of the Qinglong Array is now continuously replenished by the power of the mountain god and is stronger than before, Chen Qing is still a little worried about rashly extracting so much energy. , after all, there are two very deadly people imprisoned here.

"Yeah." Faced with Chen Ying's anxiety, Chen Qing could understand it and didn't show off. He said directly: "Shen Lao Qi has received a letter. The plan is going well."

"Where's the master?" Chen Ying asked quickly.

Chen Qing shook his head: "Shen Qi went to the Duke's house on the first day he came to Beijing, but... no one was there!"

"No one is gone?" Chen Ying was stunned.

"Yes." Chen Qing nodded: "There is not a single living person in the huge Duke's Mansion. The so-called piranha flowers made by people in the mistress' garden that your master mentioned before are also gone. And you are there." Master him"

"What happened to my master?" Chen Ying asked nervously.

"Don't worry." Chen Qing comforted the other party and found a seat to sit down: "Master You just disappeared. According to Shen Qi, your master has no clues about coming to the capital. He probably returned to the capital quietly and went to the Duke of Guo. The government found that they could not find their relatives, so they probably went after the Lu family. "

Chen Ying's heart tightened upon hearing this, and her uneasiness continued to rise.

"Don't worry." Chen Qing quickly comforted him: "Shen Qi has set up the Thousand Eyes Formation in the capital. From now on, our information about the capital will not be as vague as it is now. An existence as big as the Lu family cannot disappear silently. , I believe there will be new clues soon.”

Although Chen Ying was anxious when she heard this, she could only nod and said: "Excuse me, sir."

"The family doesn't talk about this." Chen Qing said with a smile: "And Shen Qi's formation is also to facilitate us to understand the situation in the capital."

The water in the capital is very deep now. There is no news about Wang Ye. There is no one in the Lu family now. Even Mu Hongqing disappeared without a trace without any news. Chen Qing does not dare to set foot there easily now. Through force penetration, we can understand the situation there.

"By the way, my lord, when I came here I heard that many shopkeepers here in Jiangnan are paying high prices for scholars to go to the capital."

In the south of the Yangtze River, arithmetic, calculation of objects, medicine, astrology and divination were collectively referred to as Neo-Confucianism, and there was no such thing as miscellaneous science!

"Of course." When talking about this topic, Chen Qing became more relaxed and whispered: "There is news from the capital. The family has begun to release goods from Jiangnan. The rune stones have recently been sold at sky-high prices!"

"Why is this?" Chen Ying was stunned: "Wasn't it strictly blocked before?"

"The previous strict blockade was partly because we wanted to research things from Jiangnan as soon as possible. Secondly, it was because we were afraid that we in Jiangnan would monopolize business!" Chen Qing said with a smile: "But that's right, Jiangnan's current technology far exceeds that of the Central Plains. Once trade is fully opened, Just because of the dimensionality reduction attack, countless industries of those aristocratic families have gone bankrupt, but it is different now. They have the opportunity to learn from us, so they naturally start to pave the way. "

"Preset paving the way?"

"Yes." Chen Qing nodded: "First sell out a small amount of goods, speculate them at sky-high prices, earn back some of your capital, and then warm up the market. When your children return from their studies, they will start to seize the market."

"That's it." Chen Ying nodded, but then asked doubtfully: "Since the Lord knows this, why do you still want to leak the technology?"

"The cake is too big for one person to eat!" Chen Qing shook his head and said: "Compared with commercial value, it is the right way for our Jiangnan academics to be recognized by the world faster. This is called cultural invasion. You see, isn't it right now for aristocratic families? Have you started to rush for science teachers?”

"Everyone in the world is profit-seeking." Chen Qing sighed: "The reason why Jiangnan is able to promote science and engineering so quickly is because of the strength of the Shinto stream, and the second is because Jiangnan encountered the living corpse incident, and many orders were overthrown. Starting over, I have the opportunity to quickly establish new rules, but this set of rules will not work outside. If I want the world to quickly recognize it, I must throw out heavy profits. Those warlock families are now relied on by the literati to resist the martial arts. As long as After even they accepted the importance of Neo-Confucianism, the entire scholar class had to change even if they didn’t want to change!”

"I see."

"As for the issue of loss of interests." Chen Qing said with a smile: "As long as we can always master the latest technology, we can always lead the market, and Jiangnan will become the new center!"

"The Lord has a long-term vision, and I can't wait."

"You've been spending a lot of time with that guy Zhou Hanyang recently, have you learned how to flatter him?"

Chen Ying smiled sheepishly.

"Don't worry about your master." Chen Qing promised: "As soon as there is news, I will follow up as soon as possible. If I need help, as long as it does not affect the overall interests of Jiangnan, I will do my best!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Ying smiled quickly.

Chen Qing smiled and nodded, but she was not very optimistic in her heart.

Mu Hongqing attaches great importance to Chen Ying. If he is going to track down the Shen family to do something dangerous, he will definitely prepare something for Chen Ying in advance. He will not disappear so decisively, or Mu Hongqing judges that he can solve it alone. Or it’s too late to react!

To be honest, since there is no news about Wang Ye, he has become more and more wary of the capital. Even Wang Ye, who possesses the Xiang technique, can't escape. The ghost in the capital is probably more troublesome than imagined. Mu Hong Qing. There is a high probability that something happened! ——

"Master, what's going on at this door?"

When Mr. Bai Hua, his old wife, and his ten-year-old son arrived at the door of Bai's house in the capital, they saw a surprising scene.

His son is a sixth-rank Beijing official. Neither his family background nor his own salary are enough to support him to buy a big house in a good area of ​​the capital. The house he lives in in Wutong Lane in the West City is a very small house, even though it is so poor. In such a small location, it is said that a month's salary for such a small house would cost the same as a son's salary.

As a result, the son's family has no money to hire a servant. This is why the old couple came to the capital as soon as possible, fearing that no one would take care of their daughter-in-law during her confinement period.

But it's such a small official's house, why are there so many visitors outside?

Bai Hua frowned. His child was still young and had not been an official for a long time. It was impossible for him to have so many connections. The butlers who handed out the name cards were very gorgeously dressed, and they looked like servants of big families.

"Shh, keep it down, let's go."

"Ah?" The wife was stunned: "Master, this is already at the door of the child's house, where are you going?"

"If I go in now, I'm afraid the child and his family will be in trouble." Bai Hua smiled bitterly. He probably guessed what was going on.

I heard on the way that many places in the capital were recruiting miscellaneous students, and my Bai family's reputation was probably being targeted.

"Then where are we going now?"

"Go to Shen's house!"

"The Shen family?" The wife was stunned for a moment: "Is it the home of Shen Yuan's child?"

"Yeah" Bai Hua nodded: "This time we are being plotted by that boy Shen Yuan!"

"What did the master say?" The wife rolled her eyes at the other party: "Why did they plot against you? I knew you were coming and was afraid that you would have no food to eat, so I even got you a job teaching the children of the family."

"Oh, then I really thank him." Bai Hua rolled his eyes at his wife.

He said before that the boy was so kind. It turned out that he had planned it long ago. He was really a little fox.

Sighing, Bai Hua didn't know what to say for a while.

When he came to the capital, he originally wanted to discuss with his eldest son and take his youngest grandson to Jiangnan.

After all, anyone who lives in Jiangnan with a little bit of insight will know that Jiangnan has a bright future, and the students in Jiangnan College will be the leading academic figures in the world in the future. Such a major event that is beneficial to Neo-Confucianism, originally, the Bai family, as a family of arithmetic, had a great advantage.

But this generation is unsatisfactory.

The eldest son is enthusiastic about scientific examinations and has no interest in the miscellaneous studies passed down by the family. In the past, scientific examinations were the mainstream and he did not force him. As a result, the eldest son knows nothing about this aspect. Now that he has become an official, he may have no time to study. .

The younger son is not very talented and has been taught by himself since he was a child, but his achievements are limited. The last time the academy expanded its enrollment, the younger son failed to pass the exam, which really shocked everyone around him and made him lose face.

But there is no such thing as talent. In fact, arithmetic requires more talent than accident. After learning that his youngest son had no hope, he turned his attention to his newborn grandson.

But now it seems that I am afraid that I am in trouble. If I are discovered by these aristocratic family members, it will be difficult for me to return to Jiangnan!

That brat Shen Yuan knew the situation but didn't tell him. He should be beaten! !
