Chapter 136 Talking about others
One is a real God, and the other is an illusory God. It is obvious how to choose.
Except for a few die-hard believers, the registered disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak would perform magic once or twice or directly use their inner strength to show their power wherever they went, which was enough to shock and win over countless people to convert to Taoism.
After the Roman Empire was destroyed, a large part of the Qin army, the people of the Dayuezhi tribe, and a part of the registered disciples of Yinxian Peak were left behind to preach.
The remaining people are still continuing to spread and conquer many small countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.
By the time the Roman Empire and its surrounding territories were gradually under stable rule, the Qin Dynasty was still developing steadily and rapidly.
The speed of steam locomotives was increased. The newly produced steam locomotives could reach a speed of two hundred miles per hour. The number of carriages increased to 15, and the rails were laid outside the Hetao area and to the north of the Yinshan Mountains.
In this way, huge amounts of meat and furs could be transported to the Central Plains.
From Hetao and other places to Xianyang City, it is more than 1,400 miles away. In the past, even if you rode a good horse, it would take seven or eight days to get there.
If it were a horse-drawn carriage, it might even take more than ten days to arrive, and the wind, sun, and weather along the way would have a great impact.
But now, it can be delivered in just a few hours.
Although Xianyang City is farther from Sishui County, the meat can be transported to Sishui County and other inland areas in one day, and they are all fresh and alive.
As a result, the price of meat in all parts of Daqin suddenly dropped sharply. Many poor families who could not afford meat before could now eat meat every now and then.
In addition, a large number of goods from around the Central Plains can also be sold to places outside the Hetao area. Commodity trading has an additional channel and is becoming more and more prosperous.
"The next step is to build railroads across the western territories and completely bring those places under formal rule."
After seeing that the opening of steam locomotives outside the Hetao area provided huge benefits to the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng suddenly became more enthusiastic about laying future railway tracks.
The railway running across Asia and Europe will bring great convenience to the Qin Dynasty's rule and also support its more vigorous development.
There are also steam locomotives in the south, which are now not only in the three counties of Lingnan, but also in Southeast Asia outside Xiang County, where they are being built in full swing.
A large amount of land was reclaimed, and rice and other grains were continuously transported inland. At the same time, a large amount of commodities rushed into Lingnan and Southeast Asia, and the scene of bustling development was everywhere.
As people's lives have generally improved, the fertility rate has skyrocketed in recent years, especially in the past two years. There is no need for government urging, and men and women of marriageable age are very enthusiastic about getting married.
"Everyone should be more active in having children. Daqin will depend on them in the future."
Ying Zheng looked at the statistical data handed over by Li Si and couldn't help but slap his thigh happily. This was great news.
Now, with the help of the disciples of Yinxian Peak, Daqin is expanding its territory everywhere, almost to the end of the sky.
Such a large territory requires a large number of Qin people to participate, and it would be best if the population could be increased by more than ten times to several hundred million.
Fusu, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but have his eyes twitching. When his father was speaking just now, he clearly glanced at him.
In recent years, under the urging of Ying Zheng, Fusu has been very active in having children. He has taken in several concubines, and each of them has given birth to children.
What's wrong? It seems that Father is still not satisfied and wants me to continue?
Fusu couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.
But thinking about his dozens of brothers and sisters, it seems understandable that his father is not satisfied with his current child-bearing efficiency.
And now, thanks to rapid advances in medicine, the survival rate of infants and pregnant women has greatly increased.
In addition, if anything happened to the bloodline of Fusu and others, Ying Zheng would naturally not stand idly by. The power of true essence was enough to solve many disease problems.
Princes like Fusu must have more children and take the lead..."
Thinking of the rapid growth of the Qin people, Ying Zheng's eyes could not help but glance at Fusu on the side. Not to mention hundreds of millions, at least breaking 100 million should not be too difficult, right?
“It is indeed!”
Fusu soon noticed his father's eyes scanning him again.
Suddenly I couldn't help but laugh or cry.
However, in this era, encouraging childbirth is the basic national policy of the court. The more births there are, the stronger the national strength will be, and the more land can be opened up.
Therefore, in ancient times, there were often punishments for single people. If they did not get married after reaching a certain age, they might even have to pay taxes.
Now the society of Daqin is developing rapidly, people's livelihood has been greatly improved, and people's desire to have children is easier to realize than before.
Daqin has a population of tens of millions. In a dozen years, it won't be difficult to exceed 100 million.
At this time, on the top of the Hidden Immortal Peak, the power of thoughts of all living beings, as vast as the rivers and seas, continued to emerge, and then was swallowed up by the many star gods transformed by Ye Yu's thoughts.
The star power absorbed by the many star gods is also rapidly transformed into magic power, improving Ye Yu's Yang Shen realm.
In addition, there was the vast sea of clouds of spiritual matter from the Hidden Immortal Peak, which also rolled in when Ye Yu was practicing. It was so heavy that it almost turned into liquid, covering all directions.
During this period of time, the Hidden Immortal Peak has grown to more than two thousand meters high. The mountain is majestic and towering, reaching into the sky.
It has surpassed any of the Five Great Mountains and has become the true number one mountain in Qin.
The huge mountain stands on the earth like a pillar reaching the sky. As the spiritual matter becomes more and more abundant, the spiritual birds and beasts on the mountain change more and more, and gradually show some magical abilities.
It is evolving more and more into a mythical creature.
In addition, there are countless spiritual plants and immortal herbs growing. During this period, Ye Yu relied on his extraordinary enlightenment to comprehend many elixirs and immortal recipes, which he passed on to Qi Xianyu, Lu Ling, Yu Ji and others.
They refined quite a few, and the one with the highest talent in alchemy was Master Aunt Qi Xianyu.
They can use the high-level pills for themselves, and the low-level ones can be used as rewards for registered disciples in the future.
Not to mention the registered disciples, even Gai Nie, Ying Zheng and others in the inner sect would be very happy if they could get low-level elixirs.
After all, inner disciples also have family and friends, and extraordinary items like elixirs are not enough no matter how many they have.
"Master!"
At this moment, a cute and soft girl's clear voice sounded not far away.
Then you can see a crystal white, slender and noble white dragon rushing out from the clouds and coming in front of Ye Yu.
Its huge dragon head drooped, and its dragon eyes were majestic, yet clear and simple, showing an innocence of the world.
Yes, this is Ao Bai.
During this period, apart from its slightly larger size, there were not many other changes.
Also, as its cultivation became stronger, it could actually speak human language.
Among all the magical birds and beasts in the entire Hidden Immortal Peak, only it has undergone such a change. The black tiger, the second most magical beast, can only howl and roar until now.
