Traveling through the universe, starting with obtaining the Marvel Ten Rings

After watching the first episode of Journey to the West, both of them were stunned for a long time.

"This...what is this?" Luo Ming and Zhu Mingxi asked, pointing at the TV.

"This is such a strange and clever trick, I don't think big brother is interested in knowing it." Luo Mingyue took a sip of tea.

She had long been tired of watching Journey to the West.

However, for most people in Kaiyuan County, they have only heard that this thing exists on cruise ships.

In order to watch the complete set of Journey to the West, some young men and women would charter a cruise ship every now and then.

If you don't watch it eight or ten times, you basically can't finish watching the entire Journey to the West.

Luo Ming felt that his sister was very hostile towards him.

I should have had a good relationship with her in the past.

"Luo Mingyue, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"What can I be dissatisfied with you?"

"Yeah, there's more to come." Zhu Mingxi changed the subject again.

Luo Ming also turned his attention back to TV.

While Journey to the West was playing on TV, the cruise ship waiters brought a variety of dishes and fine wines.

Luo Mingyue and Zhu Mingxi sat nearby, eating and drinking while chatting.

What Zhu Mingxi talked about most was his three children.

Either they are naughty or they have no ambition.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you leave the children in Kaiyuan County and I'll find someone to teach them. Even if I can't make them well-versed in literature, at least I can make them know etiquette."

Luo Ming and Zhu Mingxi's eldest son is now eighteen years old, but when it comes to studying, he really can't compare with Luo Ming.

Luo Ming passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer at the age of sixteen. Of course, luck also played a role in his success.

"That won't work. Yu'er wants to enter the Imperial College. If he stays in Kaiyuan County, he will have to take the examination for a student first to take the imperial examination. There are not many good teachers in Kaiyuan County." Luo Ming interrupted at this time.

The eldest grandson of the Luo family is named Luo Yu, also known by his courtesy name Wenxi, and is now eighteen years old.

Luo Mingyue naturally knew Luo Yu. When he was in the capital, Luo Mingyue often took Luo Yu out to play.

It is true that he has no ambition to make progress. Luo Yu is definitely not a good student.

But he is not a bad person, and he has never done anything illegal.

"Top Scholar, you are also from Kaiyuan County." Luo Mingyue said with a bit of coldness in her tone: "Besides, it is impossible for Zhu Di's lineage to let your child enter the court now. It is better to stay in Kaiyuan County. There will be no twists and turns like in the capital. Even if something happens, there will be family members to protect you."

Luo Ming couldn't refute Luo Mingyue's words, and this was the truth.

Even if Luo Yu studied well, he would not have any future in career.

Although he has a title now, it is just a title without substance, and is even less useful than the identity of a royal consort.

"Yu'er has an engagement in the capital."

"It's not like we don't want him to get married. Let him get married in Kaiyuan County. I, as his aunt, won't treat him badly. When he gets married, I'll prepare a betrothal gift of 100,000 strings of cash for him and a red wedding dress for the bride. Can you prepare these for him in the capital? Our Luo family's collection of poetry, books and ancient scrolls is richer and more complete than the collection in the palace, and is not worse than that of the Imperial Academy. Moreover, he can stay here and help me run some of the family business. Staying in the capital and playing with cats and dogs every day, is what you want?"

Luo Ming was speechless again. Their Luo family had nothing else, but these books were indeed as numerous as stars.

However, he was so shocked by what Luo Mingyue said about the betrothal gift of 100,000 strings of cash and the ten-mile red dowry that he could not close his mouth.

How much property does my sister have now?

"Please give your brother a few days to think about this matter. We will stay here for more than a month anyway, so don't make a decision in a hurry." Zhu Mingxi tried to smooth things over again.

"If you ask me, you two should stay here too. No matter how good the capital is, it is not the land of our Luo family. If you or Yu'er run into any trouble in the capital, I can't do anything about it. Stay in Kaiyuan County, or even Kaifeng Prefecture. I can give you a few words no matter what happens."

In fact, Luo Ming was also tempted by what he said. Not to mention the conditions in Kaiyuan County, their life in the capital was not going well.

He had everything he needed for his daily life, but his father and mother didn't love him. Everyone who saw him, an old official from the previous dynasty, kept their distance from him.

To put it bluntly, he was isolated by those people in the capital.

If it weren't for Princess Hanshan Zhu Mingxi, he would have been bullied to death.

Especially what Luo Mingyue said, no matter how good the capital city is, it is not a blessed land for his Luo family.

"I'll think about it for some time."

In the following days, Luo Ming, Zhu Mingxi, and their three children were really shocked by all the new and interesting things in Kaiyuan County.

There are all kinds of strange and weird things here, and all of them are made with the tricks that Luo Ming used to despise.

But there are some things they still don't know.

Luo Mingyue didn't dare let them know until they decided to stay.

The food, entertainment, and accommodation in Kaiyuan County were all beyond what Luo Ming could imagine.

Even ordinary families here have achieved the freedom to eat meat.

Here, the people have benefited a lot and naturally have a sense of superiority, and they look down on people from other places.

It’s very similar to the sense of superiority that people in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have over people in other regions in later generations.

What Kaiyuan County lacks at present is not technology, but resources.

Take the fuel engine for example. With the technical support of the Red Queen, the first and second generation fuel engines have been successfully developed.

But fuel is a huge problem, and the industrial chain required for fuel is also a big problem.

Mining, transportation, and crude oil refining, each step requires the support of an industry.

The steam engine also faces this problem. The steam engine needs to burn coal, which is available in the Central Plains, but the coal-producing areas also need to be occupied.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to go straight to the point and develop a fuel engine.

As soon as Luo Mingyue left Luo Ming's residence, he went straight to the old house.

"Dad, I've decided..."

As soon as Luo Mingyue stepped into the forbidden area, he found a huge snake head in front of Rosen. Looking down along the snake head, he saw a giant snake coiled into a hill, nestling in front of Rosen.

"Mingyue, why are you here again?"

"Dad... this... what is this?"

Rosen patted Lord Sky's head and said, "This is a dragon. In the future, it will have the opportunity to shed its mortal body and transform into a real dragon."

"You usually ask me to bring so much meat here, is it just to feed it?"

"Yeah." Rosen nodded: "What did you decide just now?"

"I plan to control the entire Shanxi Province. As long as we control Shanxi Province, we can connect to the grassland. By then, our territory and the population under our control will be further expanded, laying the foundation for our advantage in entering the Central Plains."

"It is not easy to control the entire Shanxi Province. Now is not the best time to start a rebellion."
