Behind me is the earth

The Jing Dynasty court prohibited people from going to sea. Although there was a port in Hufang, Xinpan Province, it was not used as a trading port. It only maintained a naval force there to deal with and deter the Jin people in the north.

Therefore, Dongyang County is the only sea port in Wuzhou Province and the only sea port in the entire north, covering the export business of more than a dozen provinces in the north of Jing Dynasty.

Before Ren Shengsheng had ever intervened here, even relying on Master Zheng's smuggling business, Yunmeng County was already one of the richest cities in Wuzhou.

After Ren Pingsheng took control of Dongyang County, it became an officially recognized treaty port. He even signed the Donglou Treaty with the Hai people, appointed Zheng Shaoguan, and officially issued policies to support going to sea, setting up customs offices, and reducing checkpoints in the province. , a series of actions such as annihilating hordes of living corpses in the province.

Coupled with the industrial products of Qingcheng Town, it has caused a dimensionality reduction blow to foreign countries.

Political stability, military strength, social security, and the loosening of business restrictions in Wuzhou Province have formed an extremely relaxed business environment, attracting investment from businessmen from almost all provinces across the country.

In particular, a large number of businessmen from all over the country came with huge amounts of real money. Their investment in Dongyang County created this prosperous commercial and trade city, making Yunmeng County extremely prosperous, and also became one of the tax centers of Wuzhou Province. one.

Located on Fuhai Street in Yunmeng County, it is the central street of the entire old city of Yunmeng County. This street is wide and prosperous, and the Dongyang Prefectural Government Office is located on this street. At this time, in front of the Prefectural Government Office, two soldiers with guns appeared. The policeman watched the motorcade stop at the door and hurriedly came to greet it.

"Your Majesty, my father has been sleeping in bed for several days. He cannot go out to greet him. He has lost the courtesy of a minister..."

A young man in his twenties, tall and strong, with a dignified appearance saw Ren Pingsheng getting out of the car and quickly knelt down to greet him.

"It's okay, get up."

Ren Pingsheng signaled the young man to get up.

At this time, the door was already wide open. Ren Pingsheng entered through the middle door. Before he reached the back house, Lin Qiao suddenly woke up because she knew that the prince was excited about his visit. At this time, she was being supported by others and was trembling. Weiwei came to the yard.

"How can I be so virtuous and talented as an old minister that I can get the prince to come and visit me personally..."

Lin Qiao's face was excited, she was moved to tears and was about to kneel down.

"Bo'an, you're not feeling well, so don't salute. Let's go inside and talk. Director Qin Wan is here this time, so I can give you a look."

Ren Pingsheng saw that his body was trembling and he could not find the strength to walk.

Lin Qiao looked very thin. His cheeks were sunken, as if skin were covered with bones, and his eye sockets were sunken deeply. His eyes were very cloudy and lifeless, and his skin was a little dark, as if he was wearing clothes. Mummy.

After entering the room with Lin Qiao, Ren Pingsheng could tell within a few words that his words were incoherent and his thoughts were a little confused. He became dazed when he spoke. After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer. The human spirit rapidly weakens.

Xiaowan flicked her fingers, and a green water line condensed in the air and was tied to Lin Qiao's wrist.

Seeing Xiaowan take action, Lin Qiao's family members' faces were filled with anticipation, and they were nervously waiting for the result.

After a while, Xiao Wan frowned: "The vitality in the body is withered, and all kinds of organs have been extremely weak. If he is still alive, he has someone to help him continue his life!"

As soon as she closed her hand, the green line disappeared.

Apparently he felt that there was no need for Lin Qiao to save him. This scene made everyone in Lin Qiao's house extremely disappointed, with sadness appearing on their faces.

"Take your master to rest."

Ren Pingsheng sighed.

Several servants supported Lin Qiao and walked into the inner room.

"Wait a minute."

Ruan Tang suddenly stopped him with words.

"What's wrong?"

Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.

Ruan Tang looked at Ren Pingsheng and said thoughtfully: "Based on my experience, I feel that the way Prefect Lin is acting now is probably due to exposure to ionizing radiation."

"radiation?"

Ren Pingsheng was surprised.

This word has become a hot topic in the hearts of the people of the earth due to the incidents of nuclear sewage discharged into the sea from the Radiation Island of many fish countries in the past two years.

"Um."

Ruan Tang nodded, glanced at Lin Qiao, who had cloudy eyes and tilted his head, and asked the servants of the Lin family: "Has Magistrate Lin had symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, fever, diarrhea, etc. before? "

"Ah, yes, yes, sir, these are the symptoms!"

The maid in charge of taking care of him said quickly.

"During the time before Magistrate Lin fell ill, did you get any strange objects?"

"Strange object?"

Several boys looked at each other.

"Is there anyone else in the house who has the same symptoms as Magistrate Lin?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Several boys shook their heads.

"Where is Bo'an's book boy?"

Ren Pingsheng suddenly asked.

"correct!"

When Ren Pingsheng asked about the book boy, a boy suddenly said: "I remembered that at the end of last month, the master's book boy was sent home to recuperate because of physical discomfort!

At that time, he had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. "

"Go to the study and have a look!"

Ren Pingsheng said.

The group of people followed, led by the servant, and walked towards the study.

There are two big characters written on the lintel of the study: "Jingzhai".

As soon as he reached the door of the study, Ruan Tang stopped: "I found it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the window glass shattered with a bang, and a pair of paperweights floated in front of everyone's eyes. This is a pair of crescent-shaped paperweights. They are black as a whole and have sparkling lights on them. They look very beautiful.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Ruan Tang has sealed it with supernatural powers, preventing its radiation energy from penetrating.

When Ren Pingsheng used his telekinesis to explore, he could still see particles of radiated energy moving around irregularly, continuously emitting energy in the shape of pulses, impacting the air, and then being bounced back by Ruan Tang's superpower blockade. .

"I remembered!"

A boy said: "This thing was picked up at the beach last month when I went to play.

It was evening, and an iron bump shone with lavender light on the beach. The master said it looked like a deep galaxy in the night sky, and it was very beautiful.

The master said at the time that this thing was a meteorite from the sky. After he picked it up, he couldn't put it down and made five pairs of paperweights with his own hands. He kept this pair for himself and sent the remaining four pairs to four friends. . "

"Has it been sent yet?"

Ren Pingsheng frowned: "This thing is the culprit that caused Lin Qiao's illness. The yamen immediately built several lead boxes. The lead boxes can prevent the energy emitted by this thing from harming people. They sent people to recover these paperweights. Don’t let it harm others outside.”

"yes!"

When the prince spoke, the people below had extremely high execution ability, and some people immediately took action.

Ruan Tang also put away the pair of paperweights and asked curiously: "How did you know that these things would be in the study?"

"The rest of the people in the house are asymptomatic, so it is unlikely that they are in the bedroom or other places. And I heard that Lin Qiao is a book addict. As long as she is in better health, she will definitely be in this study.

After the treatment, the foreigner fell ill repeatedly, which may be the reason why he often came into contact with this pair of paperweights. "

Ren Pingsheng explained.

The radiation source has been taken away, and Lin Qiao has finally walked out of hell this time, but whether his body can completely recover depends on him.

"Xiao Wan, send someone to the beach to check whether any meteorites have landed on the beach outside the city recently."

Ren Pingsheng felt that he had to investigate in the end before he could rest assured. It could not be ruled out that someone deliberately planned to kill Lin Qiao.

"good."

Xiaowan nodded in agreement.

After understanding the reason here, Lin Qiao was still sleeping and it was getting late. Ren Pingsheng left the government office with the courtesy of the Lin family.

After coming out, it was already the time when the lanterns came on.

Gas lanterns were hung on Fuhai Street, illuminating the street brightly. Ren Pingsheng also saw Ningxiangzhai's shop. There was an LED light sign on it. The colorful fonts outshone the surrounding shops. Many people in front of the shop were attracted by the lights, and some were well-dressed. Gentiles queue here to buy soap and perfume.

They have strong body odor. After buying these soaps and perfumes, they can make a lot of money from the nobles by selling them.

However, the high-end goods in Ningxiangzhai will not be shipped in large quantities to foreign countries. In order to engage in hunger marketing, the top-quality soaps and perfumes purchased in the store are purchased in limited quantities per person.

If foreigners like them want to buy, they can only bring goods. Everyone comes here every day and queues up to buy some. When the merchant ship returns, they can take it back to the country and make a fortune.

"Ring ring ring... ring ring ring..."

Outside the bicycle shop, there were dozens of bicycles. The owner was sitting boredly at the door, silently ringing a bell that should have been on the handlebars. The clear sound echoed, setting off this person who fell into the afterglow. Looking down at the already dim city, I feel a little lazy.

"Sell newspapers. At noon tomorrow, the big ship in the dock outside the city will go into the sea!"

"Wuzhou Weekly, two copies per copy!"

Outside the car window, the sound of a newsboy selling newspapers could be heard.

Nowadays, with the scale of newspapers, the cost has also dropped. The overall cost of a newspaper is about 1.6 yuan. In addition, the advertising business in the newspaper is the main source of money. In this way, not only the costs have been covered, but also the newspaper can earn a lot of income.

The sound of the newsboy hawking attracted Ren Pingsheng's attention. He raised his head and looked outside. The motorcade happened to pass by a grand building.

This building is already located on the west side of Fuhai Street in Yunmeng County. It is a new-style building, with an overall height of five stories. There is a square outside. There is a fountain on the square, with several water jets spraying out at neither high nor low, illuminated by spotlights. Dye into colorful colors.

Behind the fountain is the 18-meter-tall statue of King Qi standing there. The light shines on him, reflecting the sacred and brilliant golden color. He presses the abacus in one hand and holds the holy sword in the other, looking up into the distance.

Ren Pingsheng covered his forehead.

It must be said that the completion of these statues did bring a lot of spiritual strength to Ren's life.

According to the theory summarized by the Yiren Academy, it is very difficult to improve Ren Shengsheng's telekinesis power, which is more difficult than Ruan Tang's electromagnetic power and Xiaowan's water power. The reason why he is still so far ahead of others in the world under such difficult circumstances is that in addition to the large amount of resources invested in himself, it is the blessing of these powers of faith.

This is also the reason why Ren Pingsheng’s statue of King Qi appears in densely populated places in many big cities in Wuzhou Province.

Because there are shipyards and related supporting industries here, all of which are large consumers of electricity. It is somewhat difficult to supply the electricity generated by Yunmeng County. When the shipyard is given priority, the amount of electricity supplied to the city will be relatively small.

But this building is extravagantly equipped with numerous spotlights, which shine on the facade of the building, making it look solemn and luxurious.

Looking inside through the glass, it is also brightly lit and splendid, and there is a smell of money everywhere.

"Is this the Dongyang County Exchange?"

Ren Pingsheng lowered the window, and the noise suddenly spread into the car.

"right."

The co-driver, Young Officer Zheng, nodded and said: "This is the information exchange. Businessmen from all over the country gather here every day. Some people from foreign countries also like to come here to conduct transactions here through the information marked on the big screen inside. , which usually does not lead to fraud, is now the leading source of information about goods from all over the world.”

"Stop the car, let's go in and take a look."

The exchange, in Ren Pingsheng's heart, is also an important part of Wuzhou's economy.

After parking the car in the square, Du Kai quickly came over with a flattering smile on his ugly face, making people want to call him with the sole of his shoe.

"When you get in, don't make any noise. Let's take a look inside."

Ren Pingsheng ordered.

"clear!"

A group of attendants behind him responded.

Du Kai looked at the clothes he was wearing and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was reminded by Master Zheng that he did not wear official uniform today, otherwise he would definitely not be able to accompany the prince.

After opening the door and entering the hall, it is a very wide hall. The floor, paved with marble, is polished to a discernible shine, reflecting the large chandelier on the roof. Looking up, facing the door is a huge electronic screen, which is playing information about the products, output, prices, contact information, items listed for trading in Yunmeng County and other information from various places in Dajing.

This information is worth thousands of dollars to these businessmen in the building!

In the past, if you wanted to broker a deal, you would either need a middleman, or you would have to go through a lot of hard work to find a buyer or seller, or you would have to form a certain network of contacts through a long period of industry experience. These all require real money, a lot of energy and wisdom.

And now this information is openly placed here without charging any fees. In the eyes of businessmen from all over the world, Prince Qi is simply a living Bodhisattva in their hearts!

In the eyes of the "Living Bodhisattva", these businessmen wearing silk clothes and holding women in their arms were more like "golden pigs" shining with golden light. (End of chapter)
