Chapter 739 What’s Wrong with This Society?

Lu Yao was puzzled: "I remember that the last time I saw Wei Qixiang was only two months ago? What's the matter with time here? How come it's been more than ten years in a flash?"

Song Shiyi explained this question: "The Great Qin Empire is different from the Earth. It is a continuous virtual and real world. The specific calculation method is very complicated, and the continuous movement is not uniform... Every time we come here, we need to recalibrate."

"In reality, the time experienced by the Qin people is faster than ours. They are closer to the virtual universe. However, because of the alternation of virtual and real world, they have a long lifespan. I remember that the data given by the Great Qin before showed that the average lifespan of the Qin people was 801 years old - or that's the case here."

"But if everyone lives for a long time, it will also affect the vitality of the entire society. The class solidification is serious, and people's willingness to have children continues to decline."

Song Shiyi ate the last bit of the cake, wiped her mouth with the wet tissue she brought with her, and handed one to Lu Yao and Isabel each.

"From this perspective, Qin Shihuang's adoption of the imperial feudal system is actually a strategy. Through the most direct land benefits, he stimulated everyone to expand the territory, sent more people to the frontier, and made these people rich through military merits to stimulate the whole society. Then he encouraged more people in the country to continue to join the army and drive the empire forward through the military merit system."

"People are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality. Military merits will always stimulate many people to join. Combined with the emperor's national policy of conferring gods, as long as the soldiers are promoted all the way, they can eventually become the actual controllers of the world. This is still very attractive."

She lifted a strand of hair hanging down from her ear: "The information we have shows that after Qin Shihuang issued the decree, the entire Qin Dynasty was thriving for a long time. The development speed was extremely fast. People actively joined the army and opened up wasteland, and used trade to drive the digestion of production capacity in various industries, ushering in a golden age. "

"However, any laws and policies have the limitations of the times. As time goes by, it has become increasingly difficult for the Qin Empire to expand. Although it is still conquering one world after another, these places are basically of low value and no one cares about them. Strategic and resource-rich places are occupied by other civilizations or gods of the same size. "

"There are only two ways for the empire to go, either continue to expand or reform the past system. But the reforms have failed one after another, and it is difficult to turn around..."

"So the goal of the Qin Empire can only be to point to the border zone and continue to launch expeditions."

Lu Yao already knew what happened next.

The appearance of the virtual mirror brought a strong turbulent tide, causing the feathered people to create a black tide and give the Qin Empire another set of continuous heavy punches.

The economic crisis can no longer be suppressed.

...

Lu Yao asked Wei Qixiang for his address.

"You're going to Wei Qixiang's house? Don't you never meddle in other people's business? Mr. Huang, they are left with only orphans and widows." Song Shiyi's face was filled with shock and nervousness.

Lu Yao: "..."

Damn.

It's not enough to be a good person occasionally.

What's wrong with this society!

Can I eat them if I go there?

Lu Yao said: "I'm optimistic about Wei Qixiang, so I'll make a personal investment. If he can escape in the future, then this favor will be very valuable."

"I see."

Song Shiyi showed a relieved expression: "I said, Mr. Huang, you can't be... not that kind of casual person."

"..."

Lu Yao's forehead veins popped.

In your eyes, what kind of person am I?

Isabel suddenly said: "Can I have another Siyi cake?"

"It's delicious, right!" Song Shiyi was immediately excited.

"Delicious." Isabel gave a thumbs up.

The two girls exchanged local delicacies, ate and walked along the way, and then took a horse-drawn carriage - there are horse-drawn carriages, iron cars, human-drawn carts, and bamboo wheel carts that need to be pedaled by yourself in Xianyang City, so there are a wide range of choices.

The carriage ran all the way, and the driver was a suspected Indian wearing a feather hat and a naked muscular upper body.

He swung the reins and played the flute to accompany the whole way. His breath was very steady and the flute sound was not bad.

It took more than forty minutes to run.

The carriage stopped outside a long wall.

Song Shiyi took out a wallet and took a banknote from it and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you, beautiful lady, I wish you good luck and health."

"Please be careful, the security here is not very good, please don't stay here at night, then, goodbye."

The driver drove the carriage away.

Lu Yao asked for a banknote to come over and observe.

The pattern in the center of the banknote is a copper coin with a round outer circle and a square inner circle. The four characters "Daqin Yuanbi" are written on the copper coin from left to right and from top to bottom.

The face value of "12" is printed in the central square hole, and there is a line of small characters on the bottom edge representing the banknote number. The other side is printed with a black bird totem with its wings spread, representing the black bird, and the four sides are surrounded by the black bird.

"This is the legal currency of the Great Qin, the Great Qin round coin."

Song Shiyi introduced: "The power of faith is the gold of this world, and the power of faith is circulated in "Xuan tickets". The exchange rate between the round coin and the power of faith will fluctuate, but it has been fluctuating around 8:1 in recent years."

She handed over a black card.

Lu Yao saw that there were golden numbers of 4,005 on the Xuan ticket, and Arabic numbers 4005 were displayed below.

He tried to inject the fire of faith, and the numbers on it suddenly changed to 4105.

It is indeed convenient.

When he came back last time, Lu Yao did not touch the money. Hua Tiaoer and Zhao Zhenzhu paid for it, and he just ate. This is how he really understood the currency of the Great Qin Empire.

Lu Yao asked: "Does every household have this card?"

"Wei Qixiang is a lieutenant general, so he must have one at home." Song Shiyi said.

She continued to lead the way in front, saying: "Teacher Zao came here once before. He wanted to find Lieutenant General Wei to learn about the recent situation of Xiji Palace, because Xiji Palace was blocked and temporarily prohibited from entering. I came here to find out that Lieutenant General Wei was punished and demoted to the expeditionary army..."

Wei Qixiang's home is in "Yanbianfang", where the houses are narrow and dense, and sheds of all sizes are scattered.

The sanitary conditions of the streets are also poor. Rats can be seen running around on the road. There are ropes with clothes and sheets hanging everywhere, and there are only narrow feasible paths.

There are several children with ropes and wooden boards hanging around their necks, selling things on the street. The goods they sell include boiled eggs, baked buns, skewers of unknown meat, thick matches, sugar pills, and some hand-rolled cigarettes wrapped in white and yellow paper.

Outside is a postmodern avant-garde cultural city where ancient and modern are intertwined, but this place seems to be a place missed by the times.

Residents of Yanbianfang wash their faces and mouths on the street, build stoves and cook, which is very lively and reminds Lu Yao of the town where he grew up.

That was nearly 20 years ago.

Wei Qixiang's family lives on the second floor of an old house. There are some rotten and blackened wood and broken bamboo piled in the corridor, which look like junk picked up by someone.

Song Shiyi knocked on the wooden door with a yellow talisman paper and wormwood hanging on it.

A small voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Sister Yu, I'm Xiao Song. I came here with Teacher Ding last time. I'm from the Heavenly Palace."

"Please wait."

The door was slowly opened, and inside was a sallow-faced woman. She was wearing a camel-colored sweater, her hair was tied up, and her face was haggard.

She glanced at Lu Yao and Isabel next to her: "Who are these two?"

"This is Mr. Huang Jia and Miss Mary, my colleagues and friends."

"Please come in."

The room is a one-bedroom apartment. Although the tables, chairs and cabinets don't look new, the floor and furniture are cleaned very cleanly. There was also a canvas schoolbag on the chair, with two books in it.

There was a child of seven or eight years old in it, who was cleaning with a broom. He glanced at the person who came, and then he went back to work.

"Wei Zhao, be polite." Yu said.

The child then said sullenly: "Uncle, hello, auntie."

Then he ran away again.

Yu said: "What are you two?"

Song Shiyi glanced at Lu Yao, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she said: "We participated in the mission with Wei Canjiang last time. We happened to pass by today and came to see. I hope it won't disturb you too much."

"No, no, I'll go make tea now. I'm so confused lying in bed today."

Yu stood up.

Lu Yao raised his hand and said: "No. I brought something for Wei Canjiang, and I brought it along this time."

He shook his hand and immediately picked up a sausage.

"This is [Stove Food·Sausage] made by [Kitchen God], but it can't be kept for too long." Lu Yao handed the sausage to the other party.

Yu was stunned: "But my husband didn't say this, women can't take it."

"This was the gift from the Kitchen God to everyone last time. I took this one from Admiral Wei and didn't have time to give it to him. Madam, please accept it. You'll know when Admiral Wei comes back."

Lu Yao also thought of this paragraph after holding back.

Yu hesitated for a while, and finally took the sausage. She immediately recognized that this thing was not ordinary: "This looks like a very expensive thing..."

Song Shiyi said on the side: "If Sister Yu can't bear to eat it, take it to pawn and sell it, so as not to waste it."

"..."

Yu looked grateful to Lu Yao: "Thank you, thank you."

"It's just on the way."

Lu Yao found that if he really wanted to give money, he couldn't give it away. Fortunately, there was this sausage in the props, which was relatively appropriate.

This is different from the simulator where resources are directly thrown at the faces of various gods and demons.

If you use money to give it to normal people, the other party doesn't seem to dare to take it.

It's enough to show your feelings. So he said, "Goodbye."

As soon as Lu Yao left, Isabel followed him, and Song Shiyi said, "Then we'll go first, take care, Sister Yu."

The three of them walked downstairs, and the young boy Wei Zhao came running all the way. He raised a small sack and handed it to Lu Yao: "It contains the peanuts fried by our family. Mom said that I'll give it to you to eat."

"Thank you."

Lu Yao happily took it.

Wei Zhao suddenly asked, "Is that sausage really from my father?"

Lu Yao nodded.

Wei Zhao said again, "My father never lets anyone send things to his home."

The boy took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Yao's pocket: "This is the rare card I won, for you."

After that, he turned around and ran away.

Although the boy didn't say much, Lu Yao generally understood what he meant. This child just didn't want to owe favors to others. At a young age, he had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Lu Yao looked at the thing in his hand.

This is a psychic encapsulation card, which has been opened, and a prop is encapsulated inside.

...

[Basic Interface Card]: Can add external interfaces to Type I and Type II devices. Only one card can be used for one device.

[External Interface (0/3)]

...

Obviously this is something made by the Eldar.

Interface card? External interface?

Can be used for Type I and Type II devices...What does this mean?

Lu Yao immediately thought of the [Mimetic Burial Box Type II] and [Spiritual Niche Machine Type I] in his hands.

External interface, can both devices be expanded and upgraded?

He started the test immediately.
