Super dictator.

Not to mention Gongshu's concentrated attention, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the more he watched it, the more he admired it, but Wei Jichen, who was standing by the side, fell into a dilemma.

Because just when Mozi recommended him to the King of Chu, Wei Jichen's voice rang in real time: "The choice of the plot, as soon as he becomes an official in Chu State, he will help King Chu Hui carry out reforms and successfully restore the status of Chu State." Hegemony will receive 50 points of meritorious service. Second, follow Mozi, perfect the Mohist thought, and become a generation of sages, and receive 50 points of prestige. Third, exit the apprenticeship system."

It turned out that the time in the teacher apprenticeship system had come, but the system gave a new choice instead of sending Wei Jichen out directly as before.

Little Dingdang's voice continued: "Choose plot 1 or 1, the time lapse of this parallel space-time and the real time will become 5 year to 5 day, and one year in parallel time and space, only one day has passed in reality. In real time, it costs [-] merit points and [-] prestige points a day."

Become a sage and restore Chu's hegemony? 5 points?

Wei Jichen was overjoyed at first when he saw the reward, and then sank when he saw the cost and mission goals. He was not prepared at all.

According to calculations, only if the goal is achieved within five years can the capital be guaranteed. If the time exceeds five years, 5 merit points and 5 prestige points will be lost every year, that is, every day in real time.

Not to mention that he doesn't have much merit and prestige now, even if it is enough, Wei Jichen doesn't have the confidence to make himself a generation of sages within five years. So easy to achieve.

Of course, you can't just look at the merit points and prestige points on the surface. If you choose scenarios [-] and [-], Wei Jichen's gains in other aspects will be immeasurable.

If you follow Mozi, you will be able to comprehend the essence of Mohism and learn the techniques of Mohism. If you become an official in Chu State, after five years, he will accumulate rich experience in how to govern the country.

Therefore, he entered a dilemma.

"Little Dingdang beauty, may I continue to choose after I quit the apprenticeship system and come back in next time?" Wei Jichen thought for a while, and said silently in his heart.

"Next time you come in, you can continue to choose." Little Dingdang said with a coquettish smile, obviously enjoying that beautiful voice very much.

"Well, I choose to quit the teacher apprenticeship system." Wei Jichen didn't think about it any more, since he could continue to choose, it's better to leave it for later consideration.

"The host chooses to exit, after five seconds, the host will return to the system, 5, 4..."

Wei Jichen closed his eyes, and felt the voices of Mozi, King Chu Hui and others talking, getting softer and quieter until they disappeared.

After returning, Wei Jichen opened his eyes and found himself in the system.

Entering the apprenticeship system this time, too many accidents happened, too many inconceivable things, which shocked Wei Jichen too much, causing him to stand for a long time in a daze.

Forget it, don't think so much for now!

Wei Jichen shook his head to wake himself up from the illusion.

It's better to enter the territory system to see what can be exchanged for. Even though he knew the role of Mozi beforehand, Wei Jichen still couldn't help looking forward to it.

There are so many kinds of crops that can be exchanged for the agricultural options in the territorial system. Needless to say, there must be more industries.

Not counting the entire three provinces in the Northeast, the Liaodong Peninsula alone is rich in mineral resources. Later generations have proven that there are more than 60 kinds of minerals such as iron, coal, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, phosphorus, diamond, boron, and jade. Now it is only possible to exchange the mineral resource distribution of Changxing Island from the system, but in reality it is still possible for people to explore around, it just takes a little more effort.

With so many resources, as long as we have machines, we can develop rapidly.

As for the agricultural industry, economic crops include cotton, peanuts, flue-cured tobacco, tussah silkworms, etc., all of which can be processed in factories and converted into a steady stream of silver.

As soon as he entered the industrial option, Wei Jichen's blood began to churn.

It is too strong, and at first glance, the machines of basic industries such as steel factories, power plants, machinery factories, cement factories, sand pits, and quarries can be exchanged. These are the factories needed for the production of road construction and building materials.

The geographical location of Liaodong is very good. There are ice-free ports such as Dalian and Lushun, which facilitate foreign trade. In the southeast, there are large water systems such as the Dayang River, Yingna River, Biliu River, and Changsha River, which flow into the Yellow Sea. Qinghe River, Xiongyue River, Fuzhou River and other relatively short water systems flow into the Bohai Sea.

There is a slogan in later generations, that is, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. In terms of water and sea transportation in Liaodong, what is lacking is land transportation. As long as the roads extend in all directions along the main railway lines, economic development will be just around the corner. Therefore, , Now road construction is also imminent.

The exchange of these machines can solve Wei Jichen's urgent needs.

Wei Jichen was dazzled by just looking at it. Fortunately, after a short while, he finally caught a glimpse of a pattern. Most of these large and small machines do not exceed the current technological level, and the required exchange value is roughly measured according to production capacity and economic value.

The higher the production capacity, the more the cost and the greater the economic value, which also requires a lot of prestige points.

As small as a machine for producing matches requires one or two thousand prestige points, as large as an open hearth furnace in a steel factory requires more than 1 prestige points, it really has everything and everything.

The match factories, cement factories, paper mills, printing factories, candle factories, sugar factories, flour mills, raw silk factories, glass factories, machine brick factories, and oil mills that were planned last time are due to some production capacity. For factories with little economic value, the machines are relatively cheap, and Wei Jichen's 9 prestige points are enough to buy them.

Uh, agricultural tractor factory, bicycle factory machinery, this is good, the land in the Northeast is flat and vast, and agricultural machinery just has a place to play, and isn’t the tractor just the prototype of the tank?Bicycles are also a novelty. Not only can they be sold at a good price, but they are also useful in the military. I remember that when the Normandy landing, the Allied forces were equipped with a large number of bicycles.

These two factories were entrusted to myself to set up.

The power plant is also indispensable. A power plant that provides 1000 million kilowatt-hours of power requires engineering materials, machinery and equipment, and a prestige value of 20. With the increasing population of Liaodong, Wei Jichen's prestige in Liaodong It's getting higher and higher, and Wei Jichen's monthly prestige point income has also increased to 5 points. Therefore, in principle, it only takes four months to accumulate enough to build a power plant.

This must be done, and it must be completed within half a year.

Wei Jichen discovered another phenomenon, that is, behind every type of machine, there are design drawings and technical structures to be purchased, and these design drawings are cheaper than buying the machine directly.

For example, a cement factory with an annual output of 10 tons of cement needs about 1 prestige points, but if you buy blueprints, you only need half the price.

But after thinking about it, Wei Jichen realized that although it was cheaper to buy blueprints, the follow-up investment would cost more, because there was no shortage of people in the Qing Dynasty, but what was lacking was talents, and from blueprints to real machines, no raw materials?

But in the long run, it is of course better to buy blueprints, so that you have the potential for subsequent development, otherwise you will always only know it but don't know why.

Of course, Wei Jichen has no choice at this stage, except to cultivate talents as soon as possible, that is, to buy ready-made machines.

Wei Jichen searched for a long time in the industry options, but he didn't see the military industry. It seems that it is in the military technology exchange system. After exiting the territory system, Wei Jichen entered the military technology system.

When even seeing under each weapon, manufacturing equipment and blueprints have appeared.

In the Army system, Mauser guns, grenades, Maxine machine guns, and Krupp cannons were originally purchased.

Now, machinery and equipment for producing these weapons have also appeared, such as steel factories, bullet factories, powder mills, cake and medicine factories, machines for making gunpowder and copper caps, cast iron, wrought iron, sawing wood, metalworking, wood factories, hydraulic presses, Machines such as cranes, lathes, etc.

Wei Jichen roughly estimated that if he wanted to produce guns, the purchase of this set of equipment would cost around 10 prestige points, well, 10 points should be affordable.

Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Tianjin Machinery Bureau, Hanyang Armory Factory and other arsenals were first requested by local governments to build them, and then allocated some silver taels from the Ministry of Households, and local governments prepared some silver taels on their own. The funds for Tianjin Machinery Bureau mainly came from the Huai Army. Therefore, if Wei Jichen wanted to build an arsenal in the three eastern provinces, in addition to asking for money from the Ministry of Households, most of it would be paid from the military expenditures of the three eastern provinces and the Dingliao Army.

In Wei Jichen's view, this arsenal had to be established, otherwise it would not be worthwhile to buy guns and ammunition from the system. It would depend on how much money he could earn from the imperial court. The Hanyang arsenal in Zhang Zhidong even bought 40 taels from the imperial court. If there are more than ten thousand taels of silver, I can't ask for less.

Well, let's do it like this, Wei Jichen showed a smile on his face, he has always taken it as his duty to poach the corners of the Qing Dynasty.

Entering the naval science and technology system, the machines needed by the shipyard can also be purchased. A small shipyard can only manufacture small cargo ships under 50 tons, and requires 10 merit points, but can build cargo ships and warships between 50 tons and 100 tons. The shipyard needs 30 merit points.

Ignore him for now, now the prestige and merit points are seriously insufficient, so I can only buy the army's equipment first.

It's time for Liaodong and Northeast China to enter a period of great development. Wei Jichen thought of this, quit the system, and stood up.

Outside the door, Li Yunfei and Wang Shizhen stood with happy faces. Wei Shuai said that he would come out in two days. Why didn't he come out when the time came.

From Wang Shizhen's point of view, Wei Jichen must be practicing some kind of internal strength.

"In order to cope with the pressure from Russia and Japan, the imperial court decided to expand the 32nd Battalion of the Dingliao Army. Wei Shuai will be happy to hear the news." Wang Shizhen murmured.
