Great time travel

Chapter 6. It’s so easy to earn points

"...In other words, there are more than 200 Japanese in the 21st century here, who escaped from the doomsday world covered by nuclear pollution, and want to settle here in ancient Egypt? But, why don't they go to your side? What about the future world? Mr. Robot?"

Carol asked with some confusion, "...For modern people, er, no, for future people, it must be more comfortable on your side!"

"...His Royal Highness, what you said is indeed correct. But as you know, any modern country treats illegal immigrants very repulsively, and Japan and China, which are already seriously overpopulated, are even more so. We basically don’t accept large-scale foreign immigration... Maybe a few people can think of a way, but this is more than 200 people, which is really beyond our ability!"

Doraemon replied with a bitter face, "...if we throw them in our world casually, we will immediately face a series of desperate problems, such as not being able to obtain official household registration, not being able to go to a decent school, finding Without a regular job, unable to buy a legal house, you can only live in the most dilapidated place in the city, working illegally for generations, and maybe you will be deported... And we also have to bear the crime of organizing smuggling It's gone!"

"...But I also have troubles here." Kyrol frowned his pretty eyebrows, "...if there are a few people, or a dozen people, I can arrange some easy errands for them in the Egyptian court But you have to send more than 200 people in one go, which is a bit troublesome! You have to set up a village for them, and you have to allocate land to them... But it's not a big problem, I just ask for one Feishi, he will definitely agree... The real question is, can the future human beings of the 21st century really be able to bear the treatment of the subjects of ancient Egypt?"

"...Can you tell me about the treatment? If they are naturalized in Egypt." Sister Nan Lixiang raised her hand and asked.

"...Well, first of all, since this is ancient Egypt under slavery in the [-]th century BC, don't think about votes, human rights, freedom, etc. Secondly, if you work, Egypt has practiced similar to the Soviet Union since ancient times. Most of the workshops and mines are owned by the state and temples. Private individuals are generally not allowed to set up workshops and mines. If they are engaged in farming, ordinary people must not only obey the state’s land allocation, but also at least submit to the government every year. Pay one-sixth of the grain harvest, and occasionally some sporadic miscellaneous taxes. But this is not the point, the most important thing is that military service may be waived, but three to four months of labor service every year , in ancient Egypt, almost all the people were unanimous, and you can’t avoid it no matter what. Even if I am a princess, I can’t let a large group of ordinary foreigners enjoy super-national treatment for no reason..."

Carol replied, "...don't look at me as if I am very popular here, but the Egyptians of this era are actually quite exclusive. After all, they have just come under the colonial rule of the Asian invaders, the Hyksos. It didn't take long to break free...so hard labor must be served."

"... Labor? Is it building a pyramid?" Doraemon's round face also wrinkled, "...It's really a bit forced."

In the minds of Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Nan Lixiang and others, such a picture suddenly appeared - the hot sun was falling on the golden desert, and a long winding river brought green to the dry land. And life... On the banks of the Nile River with a temperature of [-] degrees Celsius, a large group of thin-skinned and short-sighted Japanese otaku are being driven by the fierce Egyptian overseers with whips, sweating profusely with ropes Dragging huge boulders to build towering and tall pyramids... Hey, this will definitely kill people, okay!

"...Ahem, there is no need to build the pyramids! It is now the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. Because tomb robbers are too rampant, the Egyptians have long stopped building pyramids and instead built secret royal tombs underground. But The problem is, from the perspective of labor, digging canals, building temples, quarrying stones, and building obelisks are just as hard! In addition, ordinary Egyptians have to provide free labor for every priest and noble who passes by. Service, especially the need to kneel down and salute, otherwise it is a capital offense—is this kind of treatment acceptable to the Japanese in the 21st century?"

Archaeologist Kairoll shrugged his shoulders, "... If you think this is okay, I will order the stewards of the Royal Manor to disperse them into various villages and workshops to ensure that everyone has enough food to make ends meet. Work. But if you want to cut a piece of land on the Nile River and establish a free city state belonging to the Japanese... I really can't agree to this. Don't forget, I am also an American, about the Mayflower and Thanksgiving I still know some of the stories. I don’t want me and the descendants of Memphis to become Indians commemorated on Thanksgiving..."

——Well, these words really hit the nail on the head, the words are sharp, and the effect is outstanding!

Miss Carol Lido, when did you become so shrewd when you are supposed to be innocent and kind? !This unscientific! ! !

"...Uh, please rest assured, Miss Carroll, we are here for peace and friendship, absolutely without any malice. Our airship is not the Mayflower that travels through time and space—it needs to be placed in this time and space There are only this group of more than 200 Japanese immigrants in total, and there will be no more modern people coming here... They are really just some poor people who want to ask for a place to live."

In order to clear up the misunderstanding, Wang Qiu hastily explained, "...in fact, in order to avoid violent conflicts with the aborigines, we never planned to set up settlements in the densely populated Nile River Basin from the very beginning, so that these Japanese refugees and the Egyptians Instead of vying for this fertile land of ownership, they intend to make their new home in an open space outside the civilized world of the Middle East, in no way encroaching on the traditional territory of this country.

However, building new homes for these doomsday refugees requires a lot of money, and we are actually very tight now.So I hope to get the permission of the king of Egypt, let us do business in Thebes and other places in Egypt, so as to raise the necessary money..."

"...This trivial matter is completely fine. I can agree on behalf of Memphis. You can also send someone to greet the officials in charge of the market, and you will be exempted from taxes for this transaction."

Carol answered readily, but then frowned again, "...By the way, are you planning to sell these modern world commodities to the Egyptians?" She pointed to the Coke, French fries, Snacks, silk robes and small mirrors and other small gifts, so asked.

"...Yes, we are going to sell all kinds of modern industrial products to this country, such as more comfortable cotton and silk clothing, more beautiful glass and ceramic utensils, more convenient stationery and paper, as well as mirrors and cosmetics that women like, Sweets, treats and more for kids
In addition, you see, we can also provide the Egyptians with a lot of novel crop seeds that have not appeared in the Middle East at this time, such as those fruits and vegetables native to the Americas, so that the recipes on the table of you and the Egyptians become It is more abundant; the Egyptian army can be equipped with stainless steel swords and protective clothing that are ahead of the times, making it easier for your husband to win the war; in addition, there are more advanced medical services, such as vaccinations and antibiotic injections, so that the Egyptians People can enjoy the level of medical treatment after more than 3000 years, and stay away from all kinds of common diseases..."

Just like those missionaries who went deep into the wilderness in the age of great voyages, Wang Qiu tried his best to use his three-inch tongue to describe himself as an angel who brought the gospel, "...In addition, would you like to give this palace How about installing a power system to make the night brighter and the summer cooler? Don’t worry, the power supply can be generated by clean and pollution-free hydropower or solar power, and we guarantee proper service and fair charges..."

As soon as he heard that these visitors from different time and space were going to teach the Egyptians advanced technology and bring about huge changes to ancient Egypt, Kairoll, who is an archeology fanatic, suddenly subconsciously resisted.But...Look at the long-lost French fries and Coca-Cola in your hand, as well as the ketchup and chili sauce on the plate, think about how you have flooded Assyria in recent years, then burned Babylon, and let the king of Egypt fight for yourself With so many battles, it is tantamount to digging a lot of big holes in history. If you want to say "you can't change history", you really don't have enough confidence.

What's more, she really misses the ice cream, air-conditioning, electric lights, and Hollywood movies in the modern world, and... well, it seems that because of drinking too much Coca-Cola, Kyrol suddenly felt a burst of pain in her bladder. An unbearable urge to urinate.

She couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and was about to stand up and leave the table halfway, but suddenly thought of something, so she turned around and said to the travelers, "...Guests, since you are so reasonable, I completely agree with your request in principle , I believe that Memphis will not refuse. However, I have some personal matters and would like to excuse me, may I ask if you have brought... um, that toilet paper?"

——When Carol said the word "toilet paper", her fair little face seemed to have a layer of blush.

Regarding this, Wang Qiu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but then he took out a small pack of napkins from his pocket, and the court lady handed it over to Kyrol... Seeing the back of Kyroll grabbing the napkin and rushing away, everyone present The traversers exchanged glances, and couldn't help showing a knowing smirk.

——For most modern people, there is no toilet paper to wipe their ass, which is also one of the worst disadvantages of ancient life: You must know that in the entire Western world before the eighteenth century, there was no concept of "toilet paper" at all Even if you are a prince, minister, or wealthy family, you can only use grass leaves, wooden sticks, hemp rope, or a common natural sponge to wipe your buttocks. Wiping your buttocks with cloth is an extremely wasteful luxury.And in ancient Egypt, where paper was not even invented, it is even more insignificant.Um?You mean the papyrus used by the Egyptian civil servants?That thing is not so much paper in the modern sense, but rather a "secondary plywood" that is slightly thinner than plywood. It is hard and rough, and it feels like sandy leather when rubbed on the buttocks...

Hehe, thinking about the delicate ass of a wealthy young lady like Carol, I'm afraid she has been tortured unbearably in the past few years!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Princess Carol came back from the toilet with a relaxed and happy face, Wang Qiu seriously mentioned the third important thing besides doing business to make money and resettling immigrants in the last days - to find the newcomer who disappeared from the infinite world. , Comrade Zhang Daniu from China.

"...Three years ago, a 21st-century Chinese named 'Zhang-Da-Niu' also came to ancient Egypt in this era?"

Princess Carol frowned and repeated the name word by word. Because she couldn't speak Chinese, her pronunciation was obviously a bit weird, as if she had bit her tongue, "...So, he and I It’s almost time? But I’ve never heard such a rumor!”

"...That's right, he should have come to this ancient era almost at the same time as you, maybe even earlier..."

Wang Qiu nodded and replied, "...As for why no news about him was found among the Egyptians, to be honest, we are also very confused. But what we can be sure of is that only a few days ago, he had appeared Near the city of Thebes..."

After some exchanges, Kyroll easily agreed to the request, saying that she would soon ask Memphis to use the power of the Egyptian royal family to help them find the missing Mr. Zhang Daniu—after all, The appearance of the yellow race in East Asia will definitely be very conspicuous in Egypt at this time.Besides, since this Mr. Zhang Daniu hasn't made much noise in the past three years, he presumably won't cause any trouble in the future.

Seeing that the meeting seemed to have initially achieved a complete success, Wang Qiu and others got up and resigned in a sensible way, and went to the post arranged for them by the Egyptian royal family to stay. Memphis Wang Qingqing, I, I...

However, when Wang Qiu opened the "Book of Time Traveling" by chance, he found that his group had scored points before they had done anything!
——"...disrupted the diplomatic state banquet of the Egyptian court, aborted the poisoned drinking incident of King Memphis of Egypt, and obtained 1000 reward points..."

Well, it wasn't until this time that he suddenly remembered that according to the progress of the original manga, tonight, the Egyptian court should have a big banquet to entertain the envoys from all over the world and accept their gifts at the same time.And one of Kyrol's fanatical admirers, Prince Marisha of Abyssinia, out of jealousy that Memphis could have the daughter of the Nile, took advantage of the chaos of the feast held in the Egyptian court that night, and quietly sent someone to Memphis was poisoned in the wine he drank, and the drug overturned the unlucky Egyptian king on the spot, causing a huge crisis and disturbance...

But at this moment, due to the astonishing intrusion of the traversers driving the giant airship, the reservation schedule of the Egyptian royal family has been completely disrupted, whether it is the state banquet originally scheduled tonight or the diplomatic activities to receive foreign envoys, Both were postponed or canceled by Prime Minister Imhodb.As for the Abyssinian prince Marisha, in the face of such upheavals, I am afraid that he will no longer put his mind on the daughter of the Nile... So, King Memphis escaped unharmed because of this, and also Let Wang Qiu get the first points after entering this world.

Well, from this point of view, in the world of "Daughter of the Nile", it is even easier to earn points than in the world of "School of the Dead"!

With a trace of inexplicable melancholy, Wang Qiu's classmate Jiong closed the "Book of Time Traveling" with spirit, thinking so.

But in the next step, he will find out even more embarrassingly, that there are really many ways to easily earn points in this world!
