Chapter 257: Great scholar entering the city (2/2)
Another worked suddenly interrupted, “What are you worried about?Miracle Commerce has just invented the airship and there are only three in the world.Even if it can’t right now, couldn’t it do so in the future?”
“You’re right, you’re right.”
“What can’t Miracle Commerce do?”
While the workers were talking to each other, their faces were filled with worship towards Miracle Commerce.
Gu Qianqiu fell into silence.This airship actually had quite a bit of significance.Although Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce were filled with evil, they did have some skills!
Gu Qianqiu took this opportunity to ask, “I heard that Central State was recently filled with chaos, what happened?”
“Chaos?Bullshit!”These workers all stared at him, “Central State was filled with chaos before, with the nobles pressing down, making it hard for us to breathe.After Miracle Commerce eliminated the three great families, Central State has become much calmer and even the small and middle sized nobles are all nicer now.In just half a month, our wages increased three times!”
“That’s right!My son can now go to Central State Academy all because of the stipend the Miracle Commerce charity fund provides!”Another middle aged uncle’s face filled with joy, “The school fees are taken care of by Miracle Commerce and all the money earned belongs to us, so our lives have become much better.Once my son finishes his education, he will go work for Miracle Commerce, bringing honour to our family!”
“Old mister, we still have work to do.If you have nothing else, then we’ll be on our way!”
“That’s right, that’s right.Miracle Commerce has given us such high salaries, we need to work hard to repay them.”
Gu Qianqiu was a bit stunned.
From the eyes and expressions of these workers, their words were from the bottom of their heart.
It was completely different from what Gu Qianqiu expected!
The Central State chaos had casualties in the tens of thousands and the three great families were destroyed.With the balance of power destroyed, Central State should be filled with panic right now.The various powers should be fighting with each other for control and Central State should be in chaos.
Not to mention the fact that Chu Tian brought pirates into the city!
These pirates had occupied the Four States Lake for a long time, killing and plundering, having no morals.Would they commit no crimes after entering the city?Wasn’t this just nonsense!
Who would have thought that Central State City would not be filled with chaos and would even be more lively.There was no disturbance with the citizens and their quality of life was even better.
Could there have been a discrepancy with the information provided?
No matter what, Chu Tian let the pirates into the city and caused Central State to fall into chaos.He destroyed the three great families and even crippled the Imperial City envoy!This was enough for him to die a hundred times!
He also insulted my, Gu Qianqiu’s disciples and my name itself.This was nothing more than provocation towards the great scholar!
No matter what, he had to be caught before things were discussed!
Cao Bao has already moved out, so they’ll be able to catch Chu Tian soon.The Western Marquis will reach Central State soon, so I have to take this chance to gather evidence!
Gu Qianqiu no longer wandered around outside the city, but entered the city to gather evidence.
At dusk, Central State City began to dim.
Strange, why were there no crystal lamps?
When Gu Qianqiu swept over the large streets and small alleys, he found the crystal lamps in the Main City was gone.They had all been demolished and replaced with a strange pole like object.
The pole was three meters tall and had a large glass ball in it.
Did Central State City not have lamps?
Humph, good Chu Tian, even breaking the lamps.Wouldn’t that make it unsafe for the citizens?He clearly did not care about the citizens!
Write it down, write it down!
Actually for a flaw with the city, how could it be related to Chu Tian.Wasn’t this the mayor’s job?Gu Qianqiu thought that it was Chu Tian harassing Central State City, so he destroyed the public equipment, which counts as being related to him!
Before Gu Qianqiu wrote it down.
Suddenly, light surrounded him.The entire Central State City lit up, lighting up all the streets like it was still daylight!
Gu Qianqiu moved ten meters back in fright, “What is this?”
“Ha, ha, where did this country bumpkin come from!” An adult was walking with a little girl through the streets.The little girl was quite amused by Gu Qianqiu’s appearance, “Not even knowing an electric lamp, so embarrassing!”
The adult revealed a look of disdain, but still said, “Little girl, don’t you know how to be polite?You have to respect the elderly, don’t you know this?It’s not as if every place has electric lights.”
Gu Qianqiu revealed an awkward expression, “What are these electric lights?”
“This is something Miracle Commerce invented and is very inexpensive.Other than South Sky City, it is Central State that has the most.”This citizen proudly said, “Ir order to change the citizens’ lives, Miracle Commerce will install five thousand lamp posts in the city.Even the common citizens have them.Our lives are much easier now.”
The adult and child disdained talking to this country bumpkin, so they continued their walk.
Gu Qianqiu stood there in a daze.This bright light that lit up the city actually came from the glass ball in the tall towers.This light was much brighter than the crystal stones and was much more stable in comparison!
Electric light, a completely automatic illumination tool?
Gu Qianqiu could not find any signs of how it was operated, but he was certain that it was started based on the intensity of light.Not simple, this really wasn’t simple…..When did Central State City have so many interesting things?
But, this was no use at all.
This was just a replacement for the crystal stone lamps!
Gu Qianqiu did not believe at all that with Chu Tian’s large crime, he wouldn’t be able to find a trace of evidence.
There had to be one!
