Zhang Damiao looked at the old housekeeper in the man's arms. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"What's going on?".
The honest man walked straight forward without raising his head.
Zhang Damiao subconsciously moved out of the way, but soon, he regretted it.
Those good citizens who had rewarded the righteous soldiers became angry one by one when they saw the honest man, and no longer had the timid and submissive look before.
They threw stones, swill, and even feces at the man's body. These things gathered on the man's body and formed a puddle of indescribable things that flowed down the man's clothes.
The man wanted to cry, but was blocked by a breath and couldn't cry.
Seeing this, Zhang Damiao shouted angrily:
"What are you doing! Don't throw it away, go back quickly!"
The people dispersed in a hurry, and in an instant only the soldiers and this dirty smelly man were left on the street.
Zhang Damiao brought a bucket of water and handed it to the man.
"Give him a wipe.".
The man cried "Wow", his cry reaching his heart.
Zhang Damiao frowned slightly and said to the man:
"Find a good place and bury him. After burying your father, is he your father? After burying him, he came to the city gate to find me. I need to know something."
The man didn't answer, he just wiped the old housekeeper's body quietly.
After a while, he carried the old housekeeper to the Lord's Mansion. He passed through a group of guards, climbed to the roof with his father with difficulty, and calmly said to the old housekeeper:
"Take another look, you'll never see it again."
The man sat for a while and then led the old housekeeper to a cliff.
This is the cemetery that the old housekeeper had chosen long ago, and the old housekeeper's father is buried here.
Zhang Damiao paid for a coffin and a set of clean clothes and gave them to the man.
The man didn't say anything, he just silently changed the old housekeeper's clothes, and then started digging a hole.
Everyone helped him dig, but he didn't refuse.
After the old housekeeper was buried, the man spoke:
"Thanks.".
After the man finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a plop.
Zhang Damiao was immediately at a loss. He had never experienced such a situation.
The man turned around, glanced at the grave with nostalgia, and then ran away.
Zhang Damiao shouted angrily:
"stop……".
Before Zhang Damiao could finish speaking, the man jumped off the cliff.
Zhang Damiao was silent. He didn't know what the meaning of this person was, for a lord who didn't regard them as human beings at all? And for other reasons? Is the foolish loyalty of a fool loyal or deceived?
Zhang Damiao didn't know that he was in a bad mood.
"Tell the people, no one is allowed to destroy this tomb, otherwise, you will be against me."
Zhang Damiao took the horse and galloped towards Mushroom Ridge. He knew that only Xu Kuang could answer this question.
After listening to Zhang Damiao's report, Xu Kuang remained expressionless.
Zhang Damiao looked a little anxious and asked:
"Can you give me an answer?".
Xu Kuang looked at Zhang Damiao calmly and said only eight words:
"His honey is my arsenic."
Xu Kuang stood up, walked to the window, and said to Zhang Da Miao:
"You don't have to worry anymore. You have done everything you can do. There is no need to continue to be depressed for the sake of the enemy."
Zhang Damiao finally recovered a little bit of his energy.
Xu Kuang said again:
"If you really don't know the answer to the question, you can wait until we capture Forio and ask him personally."
Zhang Damiao rejected Xu Kuang and just said to Xu Kuang:
"No, I don't need to know the answer anymore. I've let the old housekeeper go away decently. At least he wasn't disturbed. As his enemy, that's enough for me."
Xu Kuang nodded, his expression still calm:
"In this case, you go back and tell Zhou Jin that the military camp will be stationed nearby these days and there is no need to withdraw."
Zhang Damiao took the order and left.
Xu Kuang looked at Zhang Damiao's back and sighed.
In this era of strong predators and intrigues, the father and son can be considered to have noble moral character if they have such qualities.
Xu Kuang withdrew his gaze and came to Ryan's office.
Ryan asked:
"Master, is something wrong?".
Xu Kuang asked:
"How much money is left in the private treasury?".
Ryan looked down and said:
"There are more than 1.6 million left.".
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Ryan:
"Give me a million."
Ryan looked at Xu Kuang in shock and asked:
"What are you going to do? How come you need a million?".
Xu Kuang just laughed, but didn't say why.
He allocated this million for three purposes:
The first use is that Xu Kuang believes that long-distance communications should be established now. He wants to put more effort into researching radio stations, especially the development of high-power radio stations. He wants to decentralize radio stations to company-level units and establish an effective communication network.
The second purpose is that Xu Kuang wants to build a single-cylinder tractor production factory, hoping to build enough transport tractors before conquering Xiangcheng Town.
Before the road network planned by Xu Kuang was built, transportation tractors were the best vehicles. They had large cargo capacity, strong passability, and fast speed. Xu Kuang could make money by selling tractors, or he could make money by selling oil after selling the tractors. , all in all, a good deal.
The third purpose is that Xu Kuang will build a deeper intelligence network from now on. He deeply understands that good intelligence networks are built by burning money.
Xu Kuang said to Ryan:
"Don't worry, just call me."
Ryan nodded and approved a note to Xu Kuang.
After Xu Kuang got the money, he immediately started organizing people to purchase various materials. At the same time, teams of intelligence personnel were sent to various places through the road network and water system.
There was a door that seemed to gently open a crack for Xu Kuang, allowing Xu Kuang to see the next era through this crack.
…
Xu Kuang led the scientific researchers to study the radio station day and night. He said that there was a group of scientific researchers, but in fact it was just Xu Kuang himself.
Xu Kuang understood the transmission principle of the radio station, but these people were different, so Xu Kuang was not studying, but teaching, to a group of low-level alchemy priests.
Soon, the first two radio stations went offline. After dozens of tests by Xu Kuang, the furthest transmission distance was fixed at more than 600 kilometers.
This data has greatly exceeded Xu Kuang's expectations, but it is an embarrassing value. If it is too high or too low, it still needs improvement.
Soon after, the second batch of radio stations went offline. This time Xu Kuang used a large amount of rare materials and the transmission distance was extended to 20,000 kilometers. However, the cost of building these two radio stations was a hundred thousand gold coins. Comply with the rules of mass production.
At this time, a trainee alchemy priest told Xu Kuang:
"Teacher, why can't we add a wave-increasing array? This can not only reduce costs, but also provide a unique encryption method."
Xu Kuang's doubts were suddenly cleared.
