Chapter 431 Master Mu Xiu is charging——

Time flies by, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For some interested people, Junfu Castle, a steampunk city, should theoretically be the final form of other cities, and it serves as a very important reference.

Because everyone actually has the corresponding technical foundation, but they just don't know how to combine them to make a reasonable use, and they are all crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Suddenly, the complete form of such a self-sufficient and extremely aggressive steam city appeared in the eyes of everyone, almost like a lighthouse on the dark ocean, clearly pointing out a clear path for everyone.

You must know that there is not really a big gap between them, because as long as you make up your mind and gather all the resources such as manpower and material resources, it is also possible to transform a city first.

There is absolutely no reason to say that other people have completed the first industrial revolution, but I am still at the level of talking about the country.

In fact, the situation is not that far apart. The reason why the other countries were left far behind by the Imagawa family is that the other Ji Damings are all uncertain, and they are just groping in the dark, for fear of bumping into them. Even one accidentally fell into a ditch.

After all, it is even more difficult to build a new city from scratch, and they cannot do it.

Therefore, everyone unanimously chose to carry out renovation and expansion on the basis of the existing city.

However, although the transformation of the old city is also experimental, it needs to be more cautious. The problems in the transformation are gradually formed during the long-term development and evolution of the city.

It involves historical, political and economic reasons, such as various layout disorder, dilapidated houses, crowded living, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, etc., etc., which affect the development of the city.

It’s not about saying that the technology is advanced, it’s necessary to adopt some technology without thinking, and it’s more necessary to consider matching the overall rhythm, otherwise, if the internals are out of touch, there will definitely be bad results instead of good ones.

It is precisely because everyone is not stupid, in fact, they are all the lords who rule a city and a country——

Don't take it for granted. You must know that being able to manage twenty or thirty people well at the same time, this "talent" can already be called management ability.And if talents who can truly manage a city and a country well, that kind of leadership is absolutely extraordinary.

Regardless of whether they are good at diplomacy or specialize in internal affairs, anyway, any decision made by this kind of person will definitely not lack careful consideration of all aspects.

This cannot be blamed on them, because none of them have the ability to foresee the future, let alone the ability to save and read files directly if they screw up.Although there is not only one chance, once it is messed up, the lost manpower and material resources will be extremely painful for any force.

If you fail many times in a row, you will basically never get up again.

Under such circumstances, no matter who you are, you will only be careful little by little, test and deduce within the controllable range, and use such stupid methods to promote the progress of the construction of a more advanced civilization, instead of being careless and mindless Reckless wear.

It's just that the Imagawa family is purely playing tricks, which can't be compared at all.

But even if they don't know that the Imagawa family is cheating, and if they know, there is no way to report it, but this does not prevent people from other forces from using Junfu City as a reference template.

Starting from the design and laying of steam boilers and steam copper pipes, starting from the aspects of urban road planning and drainage systems, starting from the aspects of railway tracks and steam empty tracks...

That's basically it. Anyway, as long as you understand the overall layout of all aspects of the city, it is already very valuable.Maybe they just followed the script and couldn't understand the design concept.

But the current question is like taking an exam, as long as you copy the answers on the paper first, and get the good grades in your hands.As for the knowledge itself, you can make up for it later, but if you fall behind in your grades, you may never be able to catch up.

And it would be even better if we could further explore the mysteries of this steampunk city on this basis.

……

……

The world is completely different from what it was two years ago, an example of which is——

Caravan.

In the past two years, commerce has prospered, which has greatly increased the number of merchants, and the countries have also used this to exchange what they have and what they need, promoting prosperity and prosperity.Basically, as long as the two countries are not at war, business behavior will not be affected.

Especially now, everyone urgently needs more resources to build a new form of civilization. If you want to fully rely on the official power of the old era to integrate those needed materials, it is simply a drop in the bucket and a waste of time...

In addition, the manufacturing process of golem puppets has gradually become popular. In the foreseeable future, a lot of manual labor will no longer require human burdens, so no matter what force it is, naturally it will be even more difficult to attack caravans easily.

Only in this way, the resulting changes are also somewhat interesting, for example, espionage activities began to frequently use caravans to cover up.

For another example, due to the sharp increase in the rate of personnel circulation between countries, there have gradually appeared in many cities special "hotels" for foreigners to stay in, and even official post stations for information transmission. They all began to accept mail applications from ordinary civilians...

Generally speaking, it is an era of the sixteenth century, but it has already shown some characteristics of the British Victorian era in the nineteenth century, and even has some magic in some aspects.

The conversation took place in a certain "hotel"——

"Sure enough, not only superficial things need attention, but also policies and even people's living habits, all need to be closely linked..."

The strange girl with snow-white skin, long silver hair, and red eyes that resembled a rabbit said calmly, and gently tapped the floor next to her with the green bamboo in her hand.

"Otherwise, even if the entire city is copied meticulously, it will only be an empty shell, which will not work at all or the efficiency will be far behind the original city."

While whispering such a conclusion, her eyes have been watching the scene on the street outside, and she hasn't looked away for a moment.

This petite and beautiful girl is the incarnation of the god of war and Bishamonten, "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin.

She was originally named Nagao Jinghu, and she was born in the Nagao family, the guardian generation of Echigo, and is the main figure of the Uesugi family.

There is another girl in the room, Naoe Kanetsugu, who admires Uesugi Kenshin's general Hime.

She didn't care about the things the owner said at all, she just knelt down on one knee respectfully and sincerely, and said to Uesugi Kenshin by the window:
"Well, let's put these things on hold for the time being! With all due respect, Your Highness Kenshin, you are the head of the Uesugi family. It is too reckless to go deep into the enemy's territory and take risks."

Uesugi Kenshin didn't turn his head, and said quite flatly: "If I don't follow, I would be reckless. If this is a trap, are you really sure to escape from Imagawa Yoshimoto's hands?"

"..." Naoe Kanetsugu was speechless. Although she had a naive personality, it didn't mean she was stupid.

"Besides, I also have a reason to come here on my own." The girl whose skin seemed to be colorless turned her head and lowered her eyes, "This is the decision I made after listening to Bishamonten's "voice". "

"..."

Regarding this, Naoe Kanetsugu could only continue to be speechless.

It has been like this since before, praised as the incarnation of the military god and Bishamonten, any strategic decision of the Uesugi family is made by the head of the family alone, and it is difficult for others to interfere.

She is a rare general who eliminates territorial desires, but she is victorious in every battle.

Her vassals, of course, did not fight to increase the territory in the battle, but to fight for free, fighting for years.

To be honest, Kanetsugu Naoe had expected this for a long time. Who made the Imagawa family inexplicably convulse and want to carry out the religious reform of monotheism, and the gods they created are said to be glorious masters with military gods?

Self-proclaimed as the incarnation of the military god and Bishamonten, Uesugi Kenshin's reaction to such a question is probably the most intense among many Hime daimyos.

After all, this is a very simple logic problem——

Monotheism, as the name suggests, is a religion that is completely opposite to polytheism, a religion that believes that there is only one personal god and worships it.Compared with polytheistic belief, it means believing and acknowledging that there is only one supreme or main god in the universe, such as "Jehovah" in Christianity and "Allah" in Christianity.

In the teachings and myths and legends of monotheism, the only god generally created the world and all things in the universe, created all things and surpassed all things.

Looking at human history, the gods of various religious beliefs generally have several forms such as natural gods, clan gods, functional gods, supreme gods, and unique gods. The development of the gods and spirits basically follows this process...

And monotheism is a religion that has developed to the final stage, and it directly denies the existence of other gods.

It is conceivable that this is no less lethal to Uesugi Kenshin than the country that directly attacked her, or even worse.And for her who once regarded herself as a god, no matter whether the statement is self-proclaimed or serious, she must respond to such provocations.

However, she didn't choose to rush directly to demolish the temple with her bare hands, but also adopted a more prudent method, that is, she wanted to see what the Imagawa family was hiding.

……

……

And at the lodging place of the castle tower in the city, the conversation is also taking place at this moment——

"...Master Yoshimoto is very strict and strict with the newly promulgated laws and regulations of the territory under his jurisdiction, restricting almost all aspects, even down to the size of the street... Cough, things like throwing garbage everywhere must be targeted Provisions."

Because of the tradition of the Matsudaira family whose ancestors worshiped raccoon dogs, the girl wearing raccoon ears and raccoon tails and glasses is sitting on the tatami in the center of the room, looking very puzzled.

"In the past few days, I have seen many people caught and whipped in the street, and those who refused to mend their ways were even thrown directly into the mountains to mine or log. What's the point of such an approach? Master Yuan wants to engrave the rules and regulations into the bones of those civilians through such behavior?"

Matsudaira Motoyasu just felt puzzled, but considering what he had seen and heard in this city during this period of time, he suddenly felt that he had vaguely grasped the key context.

This steam city really challenged people's imagination. Her first impression was that she had gone to the wrong place. This was not a kindergarten at all... Oh, no, it was not Junfu City in her impression!
The city where the gods live?
The whole city feels like a huge precision machine, with various gears, bearings, pistons, chains, etc. meshing with each other and running, never stopping from morning to night.Even the residents of the city are part of this huge and sophisticated machine.

Therefore, strict laws and regulations are needed to integrate them into the city and make them a part of maintaining the operation of the city.

In this case, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.

"..."

The other person in the room, Hattori Hanzo dressed as a ninja, didn't say a word, just kept silent.

He is just a loyal ninja, but he is not a politician, so he can only see the appearance of many things, and he doesn't know the reality under the appearance.But he didn't need it, because he knew that his Patriarch didn't really want to discuss with him.

I just want to have someone to talk to when talking to myself, and I just need to do my duty as a listener.

Sure enough, Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't struggle with this for long, she shook her head quickly, and looked at Hattori Hanzo:
"Lord Yoshimoto entrusted me to help her with her affairs before she left, but she didn't tell me clearly what her plan is...Hanzo, have you found any useful clues during this period, such as spies from other countries? "

"I'm sorry, but there is no news about this. If it doesn't exist, it means that the person who came here is not an ordinary person and is stronger than me." The ninja leader immediately replied, "But in other respects, there is one thing worth noting."

"What is it?"

"It's about the retainers who came with us. They seem... to suddenly become more respectful to you?" Hattori Hanzo hesitated for a moment, as if he said with some uncertainty.

"What kind of statement is this, isn't it more clear?" Matsudaira Motoyasu frowned.

"It's because the subordinates didn't do enough to investigate..."

"Forget it, don't waste energy on them at this time."

He waved his hand and didn't let Hattori Hanzo continue, a strange light flashed on the glasses of the tanuki-like girl.

Recalling the matter that Yoshimoto-sama deliberately asked her to bring the "thorns" in the family together, contacting what Hattori Hanzo said now, although it is a bit unclear, but Matsudaira Motoyasu can confirm that it must be the country. what the Lord has done.

In this way, is all this really a game?
It's a pity that I haven't heard of any plans, so I can only wait until tonight to see the outcome.

Coincidentally, even Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't think there would be any problems with the sacrificial ceremony at the temple late at night today. She also thought according to normal thinking, and did not consider the possibility of the real existence of gods.

It was originally, that must be a cover, used by Master Yoshimoto to cover up something.

Thinking of this, Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded vigorously as if to make himself believe in this guess more.

What she didn't know was that if she hadn't interrupted Hattori Hanzo's words, if she continued to listen, she would find that her retainers and family always went to the temple to pay homage, and when they came back, they would wake up, change their minds, and start a new life .

……

……

Time soon reached midnight.

According to what has been decided long ago, there is no curfew tonight, anyone can wander around the city, and various shops can stay open until dawn.

It's just that in order to prevent any problems, a large number of golem puppets and city guards who haven't seen it for a while strictly perform sentry or patrol tasks in various streets and areas in the city.

——It just doesn't seem necessary.

Because Junfu City was quiet at night, no one would go to the streets or attend any festivals at this time.

There are probably two reasons. One is that the vast majority of ordinary people will not participate in nightlife. Their daily work is very cumbersome and heavy. If they don’t get enough rest, they will definitely be unable to support themselves. How can they lose their minds? Crazy to visit the shrine at midnight.

As I said before, most of them are pan-believers, and the attitude of faith is optional, but basically they are the kind of people who don't believe in the real existence of gods.

The second reason is that people in the feudal era generally distrusted the ruling class. They were actually very vigilant when abnormal things happened, and they were unwilling to touch them easily and defy the law by themselves.

Although it is said that the curfew has been lifted, who knows if it is fishing law enforcement?

Therefore, since nightfall, Junfu City has been quiet, except for the sound of steam roaring from all over the city, which has long been used to, it is very quiet.

In the square in the center of the city, a large group of people stood there in darkness, without anyone talking.

Just waiting for the bell to ring, led by the great priest, pushed open the bronze gate of the temple, and everyone entered in a very neat and solemn manner.

The huge temple looks very deep and quiet at night, and the solemnity of the temple of gods makes every clergyman suddenly feel very small, especially when looking at the statues of gods at the end of the temple——

The moonlight from the dome fell down and scattered on the statue of the god. He seemed to be staring at everyone who entered the hall indifferently.

God's power is like a prison, and God's grace is like a sea.

Divine power is stern and selfless, orders must be carried out, prohibitions must be stopped, violations will be punished, serious ones will be beheaded, and there is no mercy to follow.

Those who face prestige are like going to purgatory, and they will regret their crimes.

Divine grace is like the spring breeze, do not avoid relatives, do not avoid enemies, meritorious service will be rewarded, ability will be rewarded, and countless people will be forgiven.

The beneficiaries are refreshing and ethereal, and they are endlessly good.

——In the eyes of the world, this is a god.

　Sorry, I came up from my hometown today, starting at eight or nine in the morning and arriving at around seven in the evening - because the driver chose a newly built road in order to avoid the traffic flow of Qingming Festival, but because he was too unfamiliar, he took the wrong way on the expressway I went to the intersection twice, and then the navigation made mistakes a few times. Finally, the road was built near the destination to block the exit, and it was worth turning around a big circle. In the end, I was also taught to be a man by the traffic jam...

　　Well, at least the number of chapters has returned to normal, obsessive-compulsive disorder don't have to worry about it... (Wang Tian
