Chapter 215 Expansion

The effects Cecil imagined were basically realized smoothly, but the cost was much more than expected.

No one understands electric wires at all, Cecil is also half-knowledgeable, and has no practical experience other than theoretical knowledge. Moreover, no matter how big a hand-cranked generator is, it can’t move the light bulbs in the city. The power plant is about the same. Thinking about it, there is only one way to achieve the effect of lighting up the lights in pieces: build many hand-operated generators, a small piece of each generator tube, and then arrange a sufficient number of people to wait for the signal to generate electricity and turn on the lights.

Both manpower and material resources need to invest a lot, is it worth it?Cecil asked himself for a long time.

Face is a factor. Face counts as a fart at the level of civilization, and nature will wipe out every minute, such as infectious diseases and natural disasters; at the national level, sometimes face is very important, and sometimes face is just a wipe. Situation; at the personal level, it seems that face has become a very important thing, and it is necessary to maintain it desperately.

"This is the first step for us to go out, shouldn't we value face more?" Tifa insisted.

"The price is too high." Russell frowned tightly, "If you have to hire so many people, these things will be useless after that."

"Do you like it?" Langdon said softly, "Just do it if you like it, and you won't go bankrupt just once."

Cecil felt that Langdon would definitely raise a fool.

At this moment, Qiao Li came in from the outside, glanced at the lit bamboo bulb on the table, and said in surprise: "Wow, what is this? Hey, why did it go out?"

"If no one shakes it, it will go out." Cecil lazily said.

"Oh?" Jory walked up excitedly and shook the handle a few times, watched the light bulb turn on again and released a detection magic, "Isn't it magic?"

"Of course not." Cecil said weakly, "There's nothing so strange about magic."

Jory smiled and said: "That's right, magic is not uncommon."

This made Cecil stunned for a moment, looked at the generator on the table, and asked, "Is it something special that glows?"

"It's really strange, especially if you don't use magic." Langdon heard the string and knew it, "So, you've decided?"

Cecil smiled: "I've decided, let's do it."

In this way, there was a stunning opening of the Expo of Everything. The lights under the eaves lit up one after another, the light balls formed by the small bright spots wrapped around the theater and the stadium, and the light bulbs hanging on the wires formed a net in the sky, like the falling stars. to the earth.

"No magic?" Someone asked in surprise.

"Really not!" The out-of-town guests stood under the eaves and looked at the light bulb,

"What the hell is this?" Someone reached out to touch it, and exclaimed after being burned, "It hurts!"

"How did you do it?" The young man circled around the light bulb and observed it for a while, "I can't imagine!"

The dreamlike scene lasted for 10 minutes and ended. During this period, the people of Moon City were busy lighting up their oil lamps. Cecil felt a little regretful watching the stars go out one by one. Way to go.

"Brother, have you entered the electrical age?" After Cecil stepped off the stage, Amber was the first to come over and said, "Amazing, brother!"

"It's early." Cecil sighed, "Why are you here?"

"Idle is idle." Amber immediately vomited bitterly, "It's so boring, this world is so boring! You don't know what the ministers say about me all day long, what kind of mess, what? Today this minister has a change, tomorrow that minister has a change, the whole thing is a change, what is this called! Being a king is so boring!"

Cecil looked at the fellow helplessly: "Can you find something to do..."

"I thought too, no! I have everything, and I don't have to do anything!" Amber slapped her thigh, then came over mysteriously and said, "This time is rare, I brought you a gift."

Following Amber's line of sight, Cecil saw two girls who looked like pure little flowers—really they could only be called girls, and there was even baby fat on their young faces.

Cecil's expression changed immediately, and he said, "What are you doing?"

"Brother, how can you live with all the men?" Amber hugged Cecil's shoulders, "I see that there are indeed many men in your city, and the rest are either Tuhai women or Secil Ms. Lin, let me tell you, the women in the magical country are exquisite. I have never seen such a beautiful woman on earth. Tsk tsk, I will give you a few to try. Guaranteed virgin, just 14 years old, not even a man's hand I took it."

Can you think of something else in your fucking mind?

Cecil said: "No blessing to enjoy, you..."

"Don't do that!" Amber pulled Cecil hard and almost staggered him, "Come on, men can't have as much fun as women!"

"No, I'm too tired, really..."

Amber suddenly stopped talking, stared at Cecil for a while, and said, "You're not really gay, are you?"

Cecil was also tired, and simply said: "What? Can't you?"

Amber retracted her hand like an electric shock, and said with disgust on her face: "Fuck, you said it earlier, fuck, you are not afraid of getting sick?"

Cecil rolled his eyes and simply left. He had enough troubles. The speech just now obviously offended many people. The ministers of several magical powers all showed displeasure, but it was only in the way Yu Qingmian didn't leave immediately, and didn't contact Cecil after the show ended, but disappeared after paying respects from a distance. For them, this was already considered polite.

Activities at night in summer are naturally popular. In an era without air-conditioning, it is not bad to go to the night market accompanied by cool wind and mosquitoes. Besides, people in Yuecheng like to use ice, and many businesses put ice in front of large fans. The room is closed and the temperature is much lower than the outside, which is very comfortable.

The booths of the guests were relatively simple, but the third ring road introduced a canal, the running water reduced the heat, and the booths on both sides of the river were quite comfortable. Cecil changed clothes, and Langdon and the two mixed in the crowd. Not being able to use magic to dress up is a bit of a risk, but as long as Langdon changes his appearance, he's not that conspicuous.

The two of them walked around for more than ten minutes and found nothing useful, so they couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Worried about Amber?" Langdon leaned into Cecil's ear and asked.

"Not only him, but also people from other countries." Cecil whispered, "Am I too anxious?"

"You're pretty calm." Langdon smiled, "Don't worry, it will happen sooner or later."

"Sooner or later?" Cecil was a little confused.

"One day, you will fight magic." Langdon laughed.

Cecil suddenly felt embarrassed: "What do you remember?"

"Of course." Langdon only touched Cecil's forehead with his head. "That's when I thought, this little knight has a big tone, but he's cute."

The two laughed lightly.

Suddenly, Cecil caught sight of a yellow object out of the corner of his eye. It was a bored boss hiding in a corner. He leaned over to have a look, and said, "What is this?"

"Sap can stick to things." The boss cheered up and said enthusiastically, "Our local product."

"Did it flow out when the bark was cut?" Cecil asked.

"Yes, yes, have you been to our place?" The boss smiled.

Where is the sap, rubber!

Cecil suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said, "Where are you from?"

"...to the west, uh, a place in the southwest corner." The boss whispered, "a small place."

Langdon leaned closer to Cecil with a smile and whispered, "Mayo."

Nima, do you still dare to come?

Cecil took a few glances at the boss, and seeing that he was still looking forward to him after evasive, he couldn't help admiring him: "How much?"

The boss was about to speak with a look of surprise, when suddenly a person came out and shouted, "I want them all!"

Cecil looked at the person inexplicably, he didn't know him, and there was nothing special about his attire, a decent mage's robe, but there were similar people in Moon City. After a long time, seeing the boring expression on the boss's face, he knew that there was no business. As soon as he bought it, he suddenly jumped out and tried to steal his love. Could it be those businessmen who stared at him?

"Cheng Yaojin" jumped out and saluted Cecil generously: "Good evening, Your Majesty."

The voice of His Majesty attracted the attention of many people, so Cecil had no choice but to leave. When he reached a place where there were few people, he looked at Langdon and got the answer: "Great people."

Cecil cursed in his heart, "Damn it", the others are fine, if it is Gretel, there must be a problem, thinking of the conversation with Amber today, he can't help but feel a little annoyed, after explaining this matter to Langdon, he After hesitating for a while, he said, "You said that I'm going to explain to Amber, is it useful to say that I have no interest in him at all?"

"It's useless." Langdon laughed. "That's not why he's against you."

"What is that because of?" Cecil certainly knows about homophobia, but he thinks that straight men's thinking is probably because they are afraid of being pursued, that is, they are generally afraid of "chrysanthemums falling". Dude, he was wronged, how could Amber compare with Langdon in appearance?

Langdon smiled and said, "You know that the Tuhai woman has a bad reputation in the Middle Kingdom, right?"

Cecil, who was used to acting like a teacher, replied bluntly, "I know."

"I once asked a man, Tuhai women can make money, some are very beautiful, and they don't mind sleeping with you, you can hook up casually, why are you unwilling to sleep with them? You don't want to get married It's understandable, but it's a bit strange that you don't even want to go to bed." Langdon said with a smile, "Guess what they said?"

"Didn't the Tuhai woman say that she only chooses those who are good in bed?" Cecil said.

Langdon patted Cecil on the head: "That's one reason, but the person I asked is said to have a good reputation in this regard, and he even had a night with a recognized beautiful Tuhai woman. Do you still want to knew?"

"Think about it." Of course Cecil cheered, "Why?"

"He said that when he slept with that Tuhai woman, the other party always instructed him what to do and how to do it, and said what he liked and asked him to do it. He was very annoyed. He thought that this kind of thing should be dominated by men, women How dare you instruct him on this kind of thing. So he stopped doing it, and quarreled. He called women watery, and women called him a waste of chicken. When he got very angry, he did it, um..."

Cecil gasped: "Is he okay?"

"He was beaten until shit came out." Langdon couldn't hide his smile.

"Damn!" Cecil yelled, "I know this guy, isn't he a judge under Tifa, nicknamed Shit Man, I always thought he had diarrhea or something to get this nickname."

Langdon finished laughing and said, "So, get it? It's just a question of the right to speak. Straight men think that women should be docile and obedient. Women don't have the power to guide men. Once a woman has this power, such as Tuhai women, no matter what their nature is, straight men are not interested anymore, even if this woman can sleep casually. It's like gays to straight men. Straight men think gays treat them as prey, and men are proud Physical strength has no advantage over men who are also gay, that is to say, gays have the power to guide men physically and also have the ability to make them weaker sexually, so it is natural to hate gays.”

Cecil snorted: "There is a saying in our place, the deep cabinet means homophobia, which means that people who particularly hate homosexuals usually want to cover up their homosexual identity, that's all."

"Amber doesn't look like a gay man, but whether he looks like him or not, you have to be prepared that he will target you in the future."

Cecil smacked his lips, feeling very annoyed. To be honest, he really didn't want to make enemies with Gretel. After all, he has made a lot of enemies now, and the Middle Kingdom still needs time to develop.

"What did you want to buy just now?" Langdon asked.

"Rubber." Cecil pouted, "It is obtained from the rubber tree. It is a very useful thing that is used in many places."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we know where it is, we can look for it later." Langdon comforted, "As long as there are seeds."

"That's the only way to go." Cecil sighed.

Cecil's worried hostility soon appeared, but it was not what he thought. Rather, he had completely changed his mind after being away from the earth for too long.

The next day was the itinerary for business negotiations between the king of the central government and the visiting ministers of the magical power. Although the ministers were not happy at the opening ceremony, they were all present today. The two sides met in a calm and polite way. During the negotiation, a person suddenly broke in from outside the door.

Amber sat down on the empty chair with a straight face, and looked around coldly.

Gretel was not a scheduled participant, and Cecil's invitation letter was also sent to Amber personally. All the participants stood up and saluted in bewilderment.

Cecil asked blankly: "Your Majesty Amber, what can you do? You don't seem to need to do business with me. Gretel is doing well this year, right?"

"It's good, can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Amber snorted, "Is there anything shameful about you here?"

The ministers of other countries immediately pricked up their ears, seemingly indifferent on the surface and secretly cheered up.

"I..." Fuck you, Cecil swallowed the last part of the sentence, "Of course not, if you want to come and listen to us discuss business, as long as gentlemen don't mind, I don't mind either."

Anyway, it's just talking about numbers, you can listen to it if you want.

The ministers immediately took the bait and kept saying they didn't mind. Cecil raised his eyebrows and sat down to start talking.

The first is the method of planting potatoes. This is too simple. Cecil intends to tell them directly. As soon as he opened his mouth, Amber said: "I know this, you just ask me!"

Cecil stopped talking immediately, he was not dissatisfied with someone helping him.

Unexpectedly, the ministers immediately became vigilant.

"Your Majesty, do you need anything?" Alpha's envoy asked first.

"Me? No." Amber hurriedly said, "Split the potatoes in half and put them in the soil. It's absolutely fine."

There was a few seconds of silence in the meeting room.

Upon receiving the attention of the ministers, Cecil smiled and said, "Of course His Majesty Amber is right."

The words were very vague, and with the taste of "I don't want to deal with this guy", several ministers lowered their heads and twisted their bodies, as if the chairs suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"What else do you ask?" Amber asked, as if addicted.

"Uh, it's nothing." Roja Forest's envoy said.

Amber frowned: "No more? Aren't you going to buy a lot of things? Let me tell you, I will too. I understand everything he will, and I will tell you all for free."

"Really?" The Black Sea envoy's eyes lit up, "Do you know how to make suet white jade porcelain?"

"Of course, porcelain is fired from clay." Amber said immediately.

Cecil lowered his head. He was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing out loud. This kind of modern professional knowledge, if it is not someone who happens to be in this major, [-]% cannot be expressed, and it is impossible for him to explain it. Actually, Yuecheng’s technology cannot be regarded as given by him, he just pointed out the way, Helen, Cindy, Fred, Steel Ring, Keke, etc., people who will not even leave their names, experiment step by step from.

The Black Sea envoy who heard the answer perfectly controlled his expression, but his eyes still showed displeasure. For them, Gretel was not an ally, but a competitor to a certain extent. In contrast, he was polite and invisible The "lower" Middle Kingdom is much more normal.

Alpha's envoy cleared his throat pretentiously: "Your Majesty Amber, do you want to buy something from the Central King?"

"No need." Amber finally sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and said seriously, "I came here just to reveal the truth to everyone."

The envoys sat up straight and said seriously: "Please speak."

Cecil was ready for the guy to throw out "he's time-traveling" and "he's not local at all" and scrambling to explain it, Amber said loudly: "He's gay! He likes man!"

There was silence in the conference room for a full minute.

The Alpha envoy asked cautiously and slowly: "...then?"

"What then?" Amber suddenly became uncertain. "He likes men, as a man."

The kings of Alpha, Black Sea, and Roja Forest also have king riders, and Black Sea applied for it on his own initiative. The faces of the three envoys are not very good.

"It's just a king's cavalry." Alpha envoy said.

"He likes his king cavalry, I know!" Amber said unwillingly, "His king cavalry is even standing beside him, you saw it yesterday!"

This time, not only Cecil, but also a group of envoys bowed their heads one after another, and no one said anything.

The sudden revelation ended with Amber's calm exit, and Cecil called a cavalry meeting immediately afterwards. Langdon said that Amber's heart beat like a drum when she left.

"What is he doing?" This time, even Langdon couldn't figure it out.

"Well, how should I put it? On Earth, ancient Chinese rulers generally don't like scandals in their private lives. It's not a good thing to mess with a man or a subordinate's wife. It's easy to cause trouble." Cecil said with a smile , "Until my time, scandals in the ruler's private life are still very bad things, but they can be big or small. In any case, it is not a good thing. It is easy to be used by others. It would be better if this person has political opponents." He paused for a moment, recalling Amber's performance today, "I always feel that Amber has watched too many American dramas."

"I think he is inflated." Langdon said, "If according to what you said, he was just an ordinary person who suddenly became the ruler of a magical country when he came here, and you said that the rule over your side The former is a little different from here. The power is relatively small and it is not lifelong rule. He will be pulled down at any time. Then, it is easy to become irrational when he suddenly gains such a large power. Coupled with the superiority of the traverser, he is very It’s easy to become a person who doesn’t listen to others.”

Cecil frowned: "What is the sense of superiority of a traverser?"

"Oh, didn't you realize it yourself?" It was impossible for Russell to let go of such things as exposing scars, "Sometimes when it comes to things we don't understand, you always have a superior attitude of 'you don't understand'."

"Do I have it?" Cecil's eyes widened, trying to make an innocent expression.

"Yes." Oakes said.

"Sometimes." Jory said after hesitating.

"Just a while ago, when I asked 'what's the use of the train', how did you answer?" Tifa gloated.

It’s hard to explain it to you, Cecil recalled his answer at the time, and couldn’t help but argue: “I mean… I, I’ve explained it before, just… I don’t want to explain it again, anyway, you’re not in this business Damn... everyone, explain how I am going to live!"

The king riders all laughed.

"Honey, ignore him." Langdon took Cecil's hand to comfort him, "He just wants to see you embarrassed."

"However, it's a good thing that you are still embarrassed." Russell said meaningfully, "It shows that you are not that kind of king, although one day you will become that."

Cecil understood what Russell meant, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I will never become that kind of king, or I am not that kind of person. It is difficult for people to resist their nature."

The royal knights exchanged glances with each other, and after receiving Langdon's warning expression, they all said good things at the same time, embarrassing Cecil.

Rubber is Cecil's biggest harvest at this Expo of Everything. After walking around, he found some food, plants and mineral deposits, none of which can be used immediately like rubber.The market is very lively, not only the Middle Kingdom, other countries are also very lively with each other, there are even a lot of things from small countries and small civilizations, these people came here to pay the travel expenses of the Middle Kingdom, Cecil didn’t want to miss anything, this is another an expense.

Fortunately, none of this was in vain, and the fair went smoothly until Cecil received news of someone making trouble.
