Ruins of the past

Looking at the flesh and blood slowly growing out of the blood pool, Chen Gang and Qiao Zhi couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces. Apparently, this flesh and blood tool still caused them some psychological barriers.

Chu Qiguang didn't feel this way at all. After seeing their expressions, he said: "Don't treat them as living things. These are dead things, just like the fur coats and cotton clothes worn by people. They are also from animals." , extracted from plants?”

"The tools made by Blood Pond look a little evil, but they are essentially the same as other tools made by humans."

Chu Qiguang looked at the surging blood in the blood pool with some joy, and said to Wang Cailiang on the side: "You have done a good job. You can definitely follow this idea and make more tools."

Chu Qiguang added: "But I also want to give you some advice. Have you ever thought that the size and size of each of your tools are different?"

Wang Cailiang asked strangely: "The sizes are different...is there any problem?"

Most of the tools in this world are handmade, and differences in size are simply normal and are taken for granted by most people.

Chu Qi smiled and said nothing. He knew that the concept here could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences. He just said: "You can try to use the blood pool to create more things next."

"See what the biggest one can make, and what the smallest one can make."

"Let's see how to control the size. Can the size be maintained at a uniform size? How can the accuracy be guaranteed?"

"Try again to see if you can make... a moving tool..."

Chu Qiguang said a lot, and Wang Cailiang remembered them all in his heart. In the end, it was too much... Chu Qiguang simply found a pen and paper and asked him to write it down.

After finishing speaking, Chu Qiguang smiled as he looked at Wang Cailiang's half-comprehensive look: "Don't be anxious. This is just a long-term task I have arranged for you. You can do it slowly."

"You can also think about and try it out with other monsters in the village. Don't do it alone behind closed doors."

If Chu Qiguang wanted to develop his power, naturally he couldn't do everything himself, so he had to train talents like Wang Cailiang and Jin Ji, train the two fox demons, and recruit craftsmen...

He just wants to develop the subjective initiative of his men, not only squeezing their physical strength, but also draining their brain power. Only in this way can the entire Yaoyin Village thrive and gradually become his backing.

‘Originally... what I wanted to do was to develop the technology learned on Earth and create some products that transcend this era. ’

'Even after accumulating some technology, I will try to build a steam loom in a few years...'

But Chu Qiguang didn't remember much about the doorways inside the steam engine, and always felt that there were many levels to overcome.

Waiting until the steam engine is developed and finally put into practical use on a large scale... I don't know how many years will pass. It is too slow for him.

And in this world where there are martial arts, Taoism, gods and religions, the promotion of steam engines may not be easy.

But after these days of practice and study, until he saw the scene of the blood pool making tools today, Chu Qiguang suddenly had new ideas in his heart.

‘Maybe… combining and complementing the earthly knowledge in my mind with the martial arts and Taoism of this world is the fastest way to develop. ’

After watching the blood pool, Chu Qiguang and Wang Cailiang returned to the village. Chen Gang followed step by step, like a guard.

Chu Qiguang asked: "I heard from Qiao Zhi that the Wu family and the Taoist temple have been uneasy recently."

Wang Cailiang smiled bitterly, how could a second-generation ancestor like Wu Wei... the children of a wealthy family, and the group of money-grubbing Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, see the huge profits from the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, shares, and cotton textile industry, and be content with it.

It was okay at the beginning. They just watched the stock price rise with joy every day, imagining that the wealth in their hands continued to appreciate.

But soon the simple rise in stock prices could no longer satisfy their increasingly greedy desires.

These upper classes, accustomed to relying on their power to extract money, soon began to use their usual tactics.

Wang Cailiang sighed: "After you left last month, they began to continuously put people in the chamber of commerce, trying to buy high and sell high, and manipulate the stock price."

"I tried to persuade them at first, but they didn't do it at all. How could they listen to me?"

"The Chamber of Commerce is now in a state of chaos. People who sell their left hand to their right hand, people who have their own small accounts, people who buy and sell information..."

Chu Qiguang nodded. Wu Wei was the second son of the chief minister of the dynasty, and Chen Zhu was the abbot of the Tianshi Taoist Temple. How could he listen to Wang Cailiang? And once the two of them take the lead in committing a foul, the slaves, stewards, Taoist priests, and handymen under them will also intensify their efforts.

Wang Cailiang continued: "Then things got even worse. They started to buy and sell some common people's shares by force, just like they had occupied land before."

"Recently, Wu Wei even said that he would issue new shares, but other shareholders disagreed... But if he insists on doing this, his family probably won't be able to stop him in the end..."

At the end of the sentence, Wang Cailiang's face was full of worry: "Wu Wei and Chen Zhu... especially this son of Wu Shoufu, he is simply short-sighted and crazy, and he doesn't care when he exploits them."

"If he continues like this, he will make a lot of money, but if he continues like this, the stock price of the entire Qingyang Chamber of Commerce will collapse sooner or later. By then, the county will probably be in chaos, and I don't know how many people will have their families ruined."

The more Wang Cailiang comes into contact with the wealthy families in these counties these days, the more he understands and is shocked by the excessive exploitation and greed of these wealthy families.

The good impression of the wealthy young master in my mind was completely gone.

Chu Qiguang nodded: "It doesn't matter. You can exchange all the shares in our hands for silver or elixirs."

Wang Cailiang said: "Then we will no longer care about the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly: "I will take care of it. No one will be ruined or hanged."

"It's just not the time yet, they're not crazy enough yet."

"Anyway, you first exchange all your shares for silver and elixirs. The silver will be stored in Yaoyin Village."

"You can exchange the elixirs for body refining ointment and Qibao Pills."

"You and Chen Gang should use the body refining ointment separately, and try to improve your martial arts realm as soon as possible."

"Keep all the Qibao Pills for me. I need them for studying."

"As for Wu Wei and Chen Zhu... you continue to collect information, and there is no need to fight them." Chu Qiguang looked towards the direction of the county and smiled slightly: "Then let them continue to go crazy, and we will clean up the mess when the time comes."
