Real Cthulhu Running Game

   After tossing like this all afternoon, Liu Xing saw that the time was almost up, so he took Yin En back to Zhangjiamen, and made an appointment to come to the restaurant tomorrow to "work".

As for Ding Kun, who had already left the city, when he left, he said that he would not go back tonight, because the hunting team would conduct special training at night. After all, lanterns and oil lamps are used for night lighting these days, so the difficulty of night hunting is comparable to that in the real world. The height is too high, so special training must be carried out to ensure that the opportunity will not be missed when encountering the empty fire crow at night.

  After leaving the teahouse, the two of Liu Xing walked south along the road to take a look at the scenery in Boyang City, but it didn't take long for them to feel boring, because it was not much different from the streets in many costume dramas.

Fortunately, the Cthulhu running group game hall also "beautified" this street, because if it is 100% restored according to the real situation in ancient times, then Liu Xing and the two will not come to the mall. .

Although the street sanitation in ancient China was much better than that in the far west, at least the streets would not be full of yellow and white people, but many small corners were still smelly. After all, at this time there was no such thing as What kind of public toilets, and at that time, there were special people who would be responsible for collecting feces and selling them as fertilizers in the countryside, so the buckets of each household would be placed in the corner for the convenience of special personnel to recycle.

And in ancient times, illegal construction on the street was very common, especially those shops facing the street were basically expanded. The honest way is to build a shed, and the more ruthless way is to lay bricks directly outside, so many street plans are Five meters, in a few years, it will become enough to accommodate two people walking opposite each other. For this, you can refer to the night markets in many places.

   Therefore, the Cthulhu Running Group game hall did not restore reality in this regard, and Liu Xing felt that he still deserved a thumbs up.

   As for Yin En, he was looking around at this time, but his eyes were not on the shops on either side, but towards the ground.

   What's so good about this?

   Before Liu Xing could ask, Yin En said first: "Liu Xing, have you ever heard of a thing called a fish scale picture book?"

   Liu Xing thought about it for a while, and only thought that this fish scale picture book sounded familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember what it was.

Seeing that Liu Xing didn't answer, Yin En continued: "This fish scale atlas is a special atlas that appeared in the Ming Dynasty to record the number of fields. The main purpose is to determine how many fields there are in various places. The paddy fields are still worthless saline-alkali land, whether they are connected together or fragmented. In short, the role of this fish scale atlas is to facilitate tax collection and restrain land mergers; but Liu Xing, you should also know that officials and officials are two concepts , and although this official can’t go any further, many things are managed by the official, such as this fish scale picture book.”

"So there is a very strange situation in many cases, that is, officials who have just taken office will take the initiative to establish a good relationship with some local old officials, especially those old officials who have the picture book of fish scales, because this picture of fish scales The book is related to tax collection; the most important thing is that after several generations of hands, the fish scale at this time is like the code of some old-fashioned online games. If you teach it carefully, then it may be difficult for him to take over the job, not to mention that these codes don’t even have a comment.”…

"That's right, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, only the officials in charge of the fish scale atlas in many places could understand them, because the annotations above were comparable to passwords, and only the officials mastered the method of deciphering the passwords. , so if you are a local county magistrate, you can only rely on this official to receive taxes; of course, what I want to talk about now is not the fish scale atlas, but something as important as the fish scale atlas. , but I forgot its specific name, but its importance is no less than this fish scale atlas, which is the road map of the town's sewers."

"The sewers actually appeared after humans started to build cities, because no one wanted to build a city by themselves, and a heavy rain turned the city into a large swimming pool, right? But in the early days, or until modern times Before society, urban sewers were the sewer in our modern sense. There were very few sewers, and the quality of these sewers was not very good, so they were easily damaged after a few years; therefore, the road map of the sewers is also Just like the picture book of fish scales, it has become a family heirloom for some officials, because if there is a problem with the sewer, there will be many problems. ."

Yin En pointed to both sides and said: "It stands to reason that sewers should be installed in places like these, because this is also the prosperous area and commercial center of Boyang City, but we didn't see the sewers, or the sewer! So What does this mean? It means that the sewers in Boyang City may also be closed underground pipes. Therefore, if there is no road map for the sewers, other than the problem, you can only dig randomly according to your feeling. When you want to solve a problem, As a result, an area has to be dug upside down.”

   Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that Yin En must have a bold idea.

Looking at Liu Xing who was smiling, Yin En said with a smile: "Looks like Liu Xing, you have already guessed my idea! That's right, if we have a chance in the future, maybe we can find a way to make some fish scales in some places. The manual and the sewer route map were obtained. These two things can be said to be a kind of alternative killer in ancient times. If used well, they can bring a lot of trouble to the opponent; The alliance brings a lot of income, especially this fish scale picture book, the officials who master it are definitely not bad money masters, because this fish scale picture book is the rooster that lays eggs."

   "Uh, let's not mention whether the rooster will lay eggs for the time being. The main question is whether there is a fish scale picture book in this new dragon empire?"

  Although Liu Xing agrees with Yin En's idea, the problem is that there is no such thing as a fish scale picture book.

The appearance of the fish scale atlas is mainly for the convenience of tax statistics, and in ancient times, it was very time-consuming and laborious to measure the land. After all, just to determine the amount and ownership of the land in a township is enough for people to work for a few days, because many The land is irregular, so professionals are needed to calculate and draw; but now that the new dragon empire has a martial arts buff, it is not too easy to measure the land, and the enhanced version of Zhuzi Baijia will also take the new dragon Some aspects of the empire have been upgraded to modern and even future levels, so in Liu Xing's view, this new dragon empire should not need a fish scale atlas, or a similar atlas. …

As for the road map of the sewer, Liu Xing thinks it is very interesting, because as long as there is a road map of a city's sewer, it is too easy to damage it, such as destroying a sewer near a residential area, then Sewage will pollute nearby water sources, because in ancient times, not only every household had a well in residential areas, it was also a well shared by dozens of people around.

"Hey, Liu Xing, don't you know? When I was discussing with other players in the teahouse what industries our alliance should engage in, someone mentioned that Boyang City is preparing to re-measure some fields recently, because In the past two years, a heavy rain caused a landslide, which buried many original fields. There are also new settlements formed by foreigners living together like the Junxiang we visited before. It is on the picture book, so when I collected taxes before, I could only collect a rough amount! So I discussed with some players and thought that we could earn the first pot of gold in the alliance through this fish scale picture book, and even get a good piece of it. Union station."

Hearing Yin En's words, Liu Xing immediately became excited, "Oh, this is a good idea, because the importance of this fish scale picture book is self-evident, and the official who mastered it should spend a lot of money to buy it back. , but how did you use it to get an alliance station?"

"The situation is like this. The fish scale atlas of the Xinlong Empire is actually more complete. In addition to recording the field information, it will also record the forest, wasteland and other information in the book, so this fish scale atlas is more like a A map with complete information, so if we want to find an alliance station outside the city in the future, unless we learn from those bandits and bandits to build camps, we must deal with Zeng Jin, who is in charge of Boyang City's Fish Scale Atlas; this Zeng Jin It is an old man in his 60s. In recent years, he is preparing to teach the fish scale picture book to his apprentice, which is actually his son, because the various secret words on the fish scale picture book are only known to those who wrote him. What do you mean, so Zeng Jin has three apprentices in name, but he taught his son the code table."

"So our breakthrough point this time is Zeng Jin's son, Zeng Rong. Zeng Rong is now in his thirties. He usually hangs around in Boyang City. After all, he is now essentially an unemployed person. Jin also ordered his other two apprentices to do things; so people like Zeng Rong like to drink and gamble for money, and his alcohol intake is not very good, often directly drunk in restaurants! That's right, Meng Fugui's previous The restaurant is where Zeng Rong often goes, and Meng Fugui’s other friend, Lai Zi, is Zeng Rong’s wine and meat friend, so we and Lai Zi figured it out, and it’s not difficult to know the location of the fish scale album from Zeng Rong’s mouth.”

"This brings us to the distilled spirits we have considered before! Although some restaurants have been able to make low-quality distilled spirits, that is to say, the alcohol content has been raised to about 30 degrees, but going further up requires more Professional equipment, and whether this high-quality liquor is our liquor or foreign whisky, it needs to be cut from the beginning and the end, because the liquor at the beginning contains a lot of impurities, and drinking too much will cause problems; therefore Now there are a lot of distilled wines on the market, but the reputation is not very good, because there are often various problems, but the taste is not comparable to those of low-alcohol wines, so there is still a certain market.”…

"Although Zeng Rong can't drink much, he is good at it, so we can prescribe the right medicine, develop a real distilled wine, and then use this wine to calculate Zeng Rong and find a way to get the information of the fish scale atlas. You must know that the players in this restaurant are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Among them, there is a player named Zhang Xin who used the character card before, but he is a real psychology expert, so he is confident that Zeng Rong is drunk. Obtained information, and then another player named Shi Yi was randomly assigned to the profession of a gentleman on Liangshang."

   "Oh? There is such a talent." Liu Xing said with a smile

   "The origin of this stone art is not simple. His master is the first master of the Wusheng Temple. Of course, the Wusheng Temple here worships not Erye Guan, but Zhang Yu, the first general under the New Dragon Emperor.

I guess the person who wrote the module sewed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together to create such a general named Zhang Yu. His deeds can really be understood as the second master Guan and the third master Zhang. As for this Wusheng Temple, although it is a place dedicated to Zhang Yu, it is actually the site of the beggar gang, because the beggar gang in this martial arts module is also divided into the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction, among which the clean clothes Pai took over the post of Temple Blessing of Wusheng Temple, so the beggar gang could settle down near Wusheng Temple. "

"Shi Yi was born as an orphan and was raised by his master since he was a child, and his master is also very interesting. He suddenly came to Boyang City to join the Beggar Gang more than 20 years ago. Miao Shou Kong Kong soon became the elder of the Boyang City Beggar Gang, and now he is a temple blessing of the Wusheng Temple. The reason why he adopted Shi Yi was because he felt that Shi Yi’s hands were very suitable for inheriting his professional skills; so Shi Yi felt His master should come from a certain professional sect that is good at hands-on, but these professional sects are now collectively called side-by-side, they belong to the kind that cannot be on the table, and once they are discovered, they will be hunted by Wutai."

"Obviously, this Shi Yi, like Zhang Jingxu, may belong to the player who has triggered the exclusive quest, because I think he is also handsome, and his appearance is comparable to mine in the real world, and he is really in his hands now. Technology, my wallet really changed from the left pocket to the right pocket unknowingly. You must know that I was sitting opposite Shiyi at the time; in short, I believe that as long as there are no accidents, this Shiyi will be fine. Take the fish scale album from Zeng Jin! You can even get the road map of the sewer, because Zeng Jin is responsible for managing the various albums of Boyang City!"

   "Well, that's a good idea, but how do we negotiate the price with Zeng Jin? I don't think Zeng Jin will give up."
