"The people here are really thin..." Lin Qiaole sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the people below and muttered, "It's like the telegraph poles in Lancheng."
Not only thin, but also with a hooked waist, when walking on the side of the road, he bowed his head and passed quickly, staggering.
"They are all ordinary people." Ren Baqian said indifferently: "No matter what kind of society you are in, there are rich and poor, rich and poor, and it is difficult for the poor to find food and clothing. The dishes are not good, but they look healthy."
"If you have money to eat vegetables, why don't you eat more meat!" Lin Qiaole muttered and turned her head away.
Ren Baqian: ...
Well said!
If I grew up in Dayao's environment, I guess I would have to say "why not eat minced meat!"
Here, these words are not patented by those well-clothed and well-fed young masters.
The common people of the ancient tribe can say in amazement: "You can afford vegetables! Why don't you buy some meat!"
Just look at those people in the prisoner-of-war camp, regardless of their original background, now they eat meat until they vomit, and their eyes glisten when they see a root of wild vegetables.
But there are also many advantages. He eats meat until he vomits every day, and works as a coolie every day. His physique is much stronger. Compared with the city guards in Izumo, he looks more like an elite soldier.
It has been three years, and this time when I go back, I will start to issue paper gold coupons to them as salary.
On the one hand, let these prisoners of war have hope, and strive to leave a group of technicians after the end of the ten years, and on the other hand, they are also preparing to start reforming the currency.
After all, gold, silver and copper are too inconvenient to use as currency.
A large amount of copper was also consumed to circulate in the market as currency.
And copper is precisely a metal that Ren Yaqian desperately needs at present.
Electric wires, voltage transformer rheostats, telephone lines, just these few things, the annual copper output of Dayao and Izumo is a drop in the bucket compared to what Ren Baqian needs.
Copper alloy has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, castability and mechanical properties, and it can also play a great role in various bearings and mechanical parts.
Just like when we were on earth, how about the quality of many equipments, just check whether some internal parts are made of copper.
In any case, Ren Baqian could not tolerate this kind of metal with huge uses being circulated in the market as currency.
But to start this matter, I have to deal with the matter of Izumo first.
What is the situation of those sect masters who retreat or go out for wandering? More than half of the heads of more than one hundred sects actually made such a gesture... What are they doing? Or are you hiding
Let's wait and see the news brought back by Mr. Glutton. If not, just go and catch some sect masters and ask.
While Ren Baqian was thinking, a figure passed through the window and landed beside them. He was wearing patched clothes, messy gray hair and beard, and his face was full of wrinkles. It was the gluttonous man.
First, he grabbed the flagon and took a big gulp to his mouth before letting out a comfortable groan.
"Thank you, how is the situation? Any news?" Ren Baqian asked.
The gluttonous man stroked his beard, and his face was not very good-looking: "It's all in vain, and the people in the village have disappeared!"
"Strange, why did that guy leave? And all the people in the village have left? I checked, at least three months ago, and there is no sign of returning."
Ren Baqian frowned... Although he didn't have eyebrows, his movements were still the same.
This is not good news.
This also confirmed Zhan Changkong's words, some idle masters disappeared.
"What's his name? What strength?"
"Lin Ye, the last time I saw him was ten years ago. At that time, he was only one step away from the condensed divine weapon!"
The condensed magic weapon is already considered a top expert. As long as it is not the rare case that the magic weapon does not improve its strength, it is no problem to enter the top sixty or seventy in the world's master list.
There are more than 20 divine wheels in the land of Tianjing, and only a few people have condensed divine weapons.
There are only seventy or eighty god wheels in the whole Izumo, and there are at most a dozen people who condense the god soldiers.
There are more masters in Daxia. There are more than two hundred god-level masters with names and surnames, and thirty or forty people who condense divine weapons.
It is only one step away from the condensed divine weapon. It can be said that there are people with names and surnames in the whole world. Such a person suddenly disappears—plus those masters who are either retreating or wandering. No matter how you look at it, this thing is unusual .
Ren Baqian pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Yuanzhu and Gluttonous Man. The former had the same expression of thought, while the latter was unceremoniously chewing heartily. From his name, we can tell his preference.
"Not only is he missing, but many people are also missing." Ren Baqian told the two of them the news he had received from Zhan Changkong.
Mainly gluttons.
Although Li Yuanzhu was not in the house at the time, the sound of the entire inn could not escape her ears.
"Speaking of which, something serious has happened!" Glutton's expression immediately became serious.
"Two, let's divide into two groups!" Ren Baqian said in a deep voice. "Gluttony, go to contact Gujiu and Gao Yi's younger brother. If you don't get any results, you can take advantage of the situation to investigate the situation. Gluttony can make up his own mind. As for Li Zhenren—I have something to worry about!"
"That's it! Where do we meet?" The gluttonous man didn't delay at all, he reached out to touch the oil stains on the side of his mouth, and was ready to start again.
"After half a month, Yongjiang City will meet!" Ren Baqian's mind quickly flashed the map of Izumo, and there is the largest sect in Izumo - Luofu Mountain nearby.
"Okay!" The gluttonous man dropped a sentence, and the person disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
There were two tables of guests on the second floor of the restaurant. They had noticed this strange table of people a long time ago, and their eyes widened when they saw this scene, as if they had seen a ghost during the day.
A while later, Ren Baqian contacted Zhan Changkong again.
The other party knew that he was here, so he kept paying attention, and Ren Baqian left a mark for only a quarter of an hour before the other party appeared in front of him.
Ren Baqian inquired about the situation of the surrounding sects, and asked Zhan Changkong to investigate the news of Lin Ye, and then found Li Yuanzhu: "Really Li, there is a boat gang nearby. I am going to meet their leader tonight. What is Master Li's plan?" ?”
"He's in retreat, right? I'll go to see it with you at night, and I'm getting more and more curious!" Li Yuanzhu said lightly.
"good!"
"And regardless of whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes, if they know you are here, they will definitely not let you go. If you die, I am afraid that we will all die in this exile."
Ren Baqian smiled, although he thought he had a little ability to protect himself - mainly because Lin Qiaole, Xinzhe, and Lin Yue had the ability to protect him.
However, even the deputy governor of the Northeast Governor's Mansion and the two captains were besieged and killed on the same day, and the opponent's strength must be far superior to his own.
Of course, I can take a few people to run away at that time, and then come back and sacrifice the big baby directly!
But then there are many more variables.
