The deceased

  "Finally figured out some clues, damn it, messing with this stuff is more exhausting than fighting that old tiger."

  Complaining to himself about the monotony of his desk work, Lin Xu stretched and got up to exercise.

  Although the divine body is far superior to the physical body and will not feel numbness in the limbs even after sitting for a long time, Lin Xu still maintains his past living habits, which may be a kind of human instinct.

  Even with the advanced display system of the divine throne to assist him, making data analysis charts wasn't complicated, but entering external information still had to be done through this human terminal. The method of inputting materials was simple, as long as Lin Xu read a whole book without missing a single word, it would be fine, but reading a bunch of books in a row was a big problem. Reading one book after another regardless of content, Lin Xu was now almost moved to tears by the number of books he had read, and he finally managed to come up with a statistical data model.

  Papermaking, movable-type printing, gunpowder, compass, steel casting and hydraulic machinery, these epoch-making technologies have appeared one after another in Lin Xue's virtual statistical chart.

  Based on these factors, it can be proven that the basic technological level of this film's world has more or less reached a level comparable to that of the Song and Yuan dynasties in the original world.

  If from the Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six states to the present day, it is only a little over 1,000 years. However, long-term peace and stability have led to an accumulation of social wealth and technology that far surpasses another China that was plagued by war and turmoil at the same time. If we consider the scientific knowledge recorded in books, which mainly came from scholars who were not diligent in their work, this kind of written knowledge is likely to be far behind the actual technical level mastered by skilled craftsmen of the same era. Lin Xu can almost certainly say that the social development of this region has reached the eve of the Industrial Revolution.

  Gazing at the virtual screen for a long time, Lin Xiang couldn't help but sigh and lament as he thought of the miserable scene of the doomsday dynasty outside the mountain, which was like a human hell.

  If it weren't for the successive appearance of a series of emperors who were not doing their jobs properly, causing the people of the Great Qin Empire to be unable to live in peace, this old empire would have had the opportunity to enter a brand new era of industrialization. However, as things have turned out today, who can be blamed? Is it a problem with the system? This can only make people clench their fists and sigh, saying that it is all about timing, luck, and fate!

  After completing the data entry work that had lasted for several days, Lin Xu began to wander around, venting his frustration from sitting still for many days. Unexpectedly, he had just walked out of the study when he bumped into Wang Liang, a deputy general who came to report on his work.

  "How did you get back? By the way, is there any news about that guy Huo Shan?"

  Facing Lin Xu's barrage of questions, Wang Liang was taken aback, then cupped his hands and said:

  "Reporting back to the master, I've brought the documents for your review. Please take a look, these are the approved residential land bases in Jiufeng Town this month, and here is also the location map of commercial shops..."

  After reading through these daily work documents, Lin Xu waved his hand and said:

  "Alright, just carry out these tasks as usual, no need to ask for instructions every time. By the way, what about that Huo Shan Jun? Hasn't he made any moves recently?"

  "This... subordinate has been investigating all along, just..."

  When Lin Xuan heard Wang Liang's hesitant words, he knew that the injured and escaped tiger demon Huo Shan Jun would not be found for a while. The heart of the disease is not eliminated, and it will surely come back sooner or later. Lin Xuan had a vague premonition about this.

  Alas, Mount Huo has always been known for its thousands of peaks and ravines, with a complex and ever-changing terrain. Since the previous Mount Huo God died suddenly outside, the temple had been on a downward slope for over 300 years, until recently, in the past three to five years, it had some improvement under Lin Xu's hands, but the actual control range is limited to the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain on the east slope and its surrounding areas. Currently, it is far from being able to control the overall situation. As long as Mount Huo God is smart enough, running a bit further, finding any secluded corner to rest and recover, who can find this vast Mount Huo? It's hard to track down, which is also understandable.

  At this time, Lin Xu could only sigh and say:

  "...I understand, as soon as there's news, remember to notify me immediately."

  "Yes, I will retire, I will retire!"

  A nine-story tower starts with a pile of earth. A tree that can be encircled by the arms grows from a tiny sprout.

  Having thoroughly understood the current level of science and technology, Lin Xu then carefully compiled a list of technological innovations that did not exceed the industrial era. He then transformed them into vivid graphic materials with divine power, printed them on paper, bound them into sample books according to different categories, and the remaining problem was how to use this knowledge to improve actual productivity.

  In this piece of land, the forces related to science and technology are no more than three families: Mo Men, Gong Shu Family, and Nong Family.

  These three, due to their different realistic needs, also developed an interest in scientific research. Although they each had a different focus, any one of them could be pulled out and would have quite profound attainments. If it's said that among the above-mentioned three families, the first is Moism.

  The founder of the Mohist school, Mozi, advocated for respecting Heaven and serving ghosts. He attached great importance to the power of ghosts and gods to intimidate people's hearts. He believed that only those non-human existences could stand on a completely fair position to supervise those who act recklessly, so the Mohists' attitude towards the earth gods was much stronger than that of the Taoist priests who proudly claimed to have grasped the great truth.

  The main body of Daoist priests, who were originally Fangshi from the pre-Qin era, took a standard upper-class route. They basically relied on their ancestral masters, who had ascended to heaven through religious sects, to apply for "licenses" from the heavenly officials in charge of various departments before taking office in the mortal world. With these permits issued by the heavenly court, Daoist priests would then turn around and order the local deities about. Bound by the hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates, the local deities had no choice but to accept the arbitrary orders of these Daoist priests, even if they were dissatisfied. The contradictions between the two sides cannot be fully expressed in just a few words.

  The Feng Shui cycle is turning, as the Heavenly Court's control over this piece of land tends to weaken, the Taoist priests' good days of pretending to be mighty are also coming to an end.

  Another phenomenon is that the number of earth gods has drastically decreased, such as Huo Mountain, which has not had a mountain god for over 300 years, until Lin Xu suddenly appeared to fill the void left for many years. The earth gods who have fallen into a survival crisis themselves do not have the heart to make things difficult for those Taoist priests who were once very annoying to them, and at most, they just ignore them.

  It is said that coming early is not as good as coming at the right time. Just when Lin Xu felt that everything was ready, Dongmen Qiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly came to his door.

  Dongmen Qiu explained with a red face and ears why he couldn't mention the support of Mo Xie in time to sweep away the Lanruo Temple, but as for the actual reason for the entire event, Dongmen Qiu remained ambiguous. Although Lin Xu felt that Mo Men's breach of promise was unthinkable, at this moment he also pretended to be magnanimous and expressed understanding for the other party's difficulties, thus the two sides made amends and the conversation turned to the main topic.

  "Dongmen Daoyou, have you read this set of books? What do you think?"

  At the sound, Dongmen Qiu nodded like a garlic press, his emotions were overly excited, and his ancient bronze-colored cheeks even showed a flush of red.

  After calming down a bit, Dongmen Qiu asked tentatively:

  "Alright, very well. I wonder if the honored deity can..."

  At this time, Lin Xu smiled slightly and pinched the page of the book, saying:

  "Haha, I know what you're thinking. You want to ask if this set of books can be transferred to your Mo Gate, right?"

  "To be honest, I have been thinking about this."

  The most revered idol in the Mohist school is undoubtedly the ancient sage king Yu, who practiced the idea of universal love with his own body. Next comes Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school.

  At all times and in every moment, they inspire themselves with the deeds of their predecessors. This is indeed the life principle of the Mohists. The idiom "adhering to established rules" is undoubtedly a high praise for these Mohist successors.

  To be blunt, among the pre-Qin hundred schools of thought, Mohism is also one of the most important ones that attaches great importance to science and technology, except for the Gongshu family who inherited the mantle of Lu Ban. Compared with the Gongshu family who likes to study practical objects and new gadgets, the Mohist school has risen from simply studying how to make tools to a theoretical stage where they classify and analyze the changes in the physical world, mechanical movements, and structures. However, due to the unfavorable social environment at that time, the theoretical research of Mohism was limited to small groups of enthusiasts with three or five people.

  Lin Xu had long been thinking about who could be a useful target. Dongmen Qiu's initiative to ask for these materials was exactly what Lin Xu wanted, and now he just laughed loudly:

  "Now that these books have been written, they are meant for people to read. Giving a set to the Mo family would not be a problem, but will you make any statement?"

  Upon hearing this, Dongmen Qiu immediately straightened his body and said with a serious expression:

  "What do you mean?"

  Seeing this, Lin Xu lightly waved his hand, signaling Dongmen Qiu not to be too nervous, and said slowly and calmly:

  "Jiufeng Town was established for too short a time, lacking qualified craftsmen and teachers. If the Mo School is willing to help solve this problem, what's the big deal about just one set of books?"

  Fighting and killing are absolutely the strong points of Xia Mo, but when it comes to craftsmanship and school teachers, they can only ask for help from Gong Mo. Therefore, Dongmen Qiu did not dare to take matters into his own hands and said cautiously:

  "This... I have no authority to decide on my own, I must report to Master Ji first before I can answer."

  He picked up his teacup and took a sip, Lin Xu smiled warmly at Dongmen Qiu and said:

  "Dongmen Daoyou, you might as well go back and discuss it with the others. I only hope that your actions can be a bit more swift this time, and not like the last time at Lanruo Temple when we were getting rid of the demon, where it dragged on to no avail."

  Upon hearing Lin Xu mention this shameful example again, Dongmen Qiu's face turned red with embarrassment. He fell silent for a moment before saying:

  "It is indeed not that I am unfaithful and break promises, but there are hidden circumstances that cannot be explained to outsiders, please forgive me."

  At the sound, Lin Xu's heart moved slightly, but he was busy with his own affairs and didn't have enough time to spare, let alone interfere with others' business.

  At this moment, Lin Xuan lightly changed the subject and said:

  "Oh, so be it, let's just forget about it then!"

  Dongmen Qiu perhaps felt that he had lost face in front of Lin Xu after the previous missed appointment, and no matter what, he couldn't let it happen again. His actions were swift and decisive. In less than ten days, Dongmen Qiu's side had already responded, and he directly brought a group of workers to Jiufeng Town.

  Since the Mo family had shown enough sincerity in cooperation, Lin Xu wouldn't be stingy with the teaching materials he had organized and immediately made a copy to give to the members of Gong Mo for their study.
