Chapter 143 The name in my heart
Chapter 143 The name in my heart
Cecil originally thought it was a group of businessmen. After all, he had seen too much recently. At first, he wanted to meet, but later found that this kind of meeting was too time-consuming, and the words were similar, so he quickly got used to rejecting them all.
This time, it was Langdon who said they had to see each other.
As soon as they entered the door, there were seven people around the round table, men and women, all of whom were quite young and dressed normally, with magic clothes, cloaks, leather boots, and one of them was holding a staff, in line with the configuration of the adventure team.Every face was straight, and Cecil sat down at the conference table, waiting for these people to speak.
The eight people just stared at each other for a long time, and Cecil always felt that something was wrong. Even though he, the "king", did not act like a king at all, the audience was still in the conference room, and he didn't mind if others left behind. Sit down, but all the people who come to meet will be more or less polite, how can they stare at him without saying a word?
What the hell?Who will speak first?
When Cecil was full of guesses, a woman in an elegant robe spoke first: "You are really different."
Sure enough, you are not welcome. Cecil didn't say this, not only because of the attitude of the other party, but also because of the woman's dress.
The mainstream dress for women in this world is the big medieval dress with various complicated patterns. If you often fight, you can dress up like a man, with various armor and upper and lower body clothes, but this one is dressed like the earth The modern gown on the table was thin and close-fitting, with only one layer of clothing, and Cecil had never seen anything like it so far anyway.
Could it be that they came from the earth?
"Did you... uh, talk to Langdon?" Cecil asked.
The seven strangers exchanged glances with each other.
"No, we're just chatting." An older man said, "Talk about the future development of Moon City and the cooperation we will have."
"Really?" Finally talking about Cecil's "professional field", he lifted his spirits and said, "Which industry are you planning to invest in?"
The seven of them looked at each other with a secret glance.
"Table and chairs."
"Circle."
"Shop sign."
"door."
"City wall bricks."
"Jerky."
"pocket."
The seven of them took turns to report themselves, and Cecil was already in the fog.
What the hell is a round wheel?What is a pocket?There is also the gate, which is specially made for doors?The division of labor in this world is not so fine, right?Can you survive as a doorman?
Cecil wanted to keep his face expressionless, but his inner feelings had already betrayed the muscles of his face. He blinked constantly while listening to the seven people talking, as if he had ADHD.
"How do you feel about our industry?" Again the woman spoke.
"Uh..." Cecil wasn't sure if he should say it, but Langdon would never cheat him, "For tables, chairs and doors, I think we can consider developing in the direction of comprehensive furniture. After the process is mature, we can I have worked hard on the style and decoration, looking for different styles between minimalism and extreme complexity. I really don’t understand what a round wheel is. Is it a wheel? This is only one direction of development. Rubber, rubber is the basis of all wheels , go to the rubber tree, this is unavoidable. Of course, the jerky can add different tastes, such as salt and pepper, cumin, or sweet and spicy, etc., look for seasoning, oh, yes, there is also roasted The flavors of baking, roasting, and smoking are different. The signboard can actually be developed in the direction of advertising. Who stipulates that the signboard must be a small piece? It can also be a large piece, and the entire wall can be made into a signboard! As for the pocket, you don’t want it Tell me you specialize in pockets..."
"Pocket" actually nodded, looking expectant.
Cecil was stunned: "It's not necessary, is it? Can you make money by making pockets?"
"Everyone loves pockets!" said "Pockets." "And, no one ever thought pockets could be made on clothes!"
Cecil had to search for ideas: "Expand your business. I really can't make any tricks with pockets. Why don't you consider handbags. The women's bag industry has a broad space for development, but just like signs, first look for dyes, the richer they are." The better."
Hearing these words, the faces of the seven people glowed red, and they all showed undisguised expressions of excitement.
The more Cecil looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to ask, the woman who had been the representative said, "Thank you very much. No matter what festival you plan to celebrate, I wish you a happy holiday. I think we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
After finishing speaking, the seven people instantly disappeared from the seats like smoke.
Cecil was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up with a loud cry, and bumped into Langdon as soon as he rushed out of the meeting room, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.He grabbed Langdon's arm and said angrily, "You did it on purpose!"
"What?" Langdon still had that gentle smile on his face, "I don't understand what you mean."
"You did it on purpose!" Cecil exclaimed angrily, "These are all gods of civilization! All! Yes! You deliberately didn't tell me! What the hell did I do to you! You've been so busy lately and you're making trouble for me!"
Since the last time they spent the night together and faced each other naked, Cecil found that Langdon had started to go into "hypocritical mode" again. Work was still work, but every time he looked at his eyes, it was really hard to describe. It was like playing "You're a fool." "This sentence has to be accompanied by BGM.
"Aren't I just drunk? Is this something I can control?" Cecil said aggrievedly, "If you are dissatisfied, tell me!"
Langdon stared at the ground for a while, and seemed to finally see through or say "enough", and sighed, "You only dare to say that to me when you're drunk?"
"I said it when I was sober, don't change the subject!" Cecil narrowed his eyes, not fooled at all.
Langdon glanced at other places, and then turned his head with a gentle smile on his face: "If you were given a choice, to sleep with my prototype for a night or to sleep with me, which would you choose?"
Cecil opened his mouth reflexively: "Of course it's sleeping with...you!"
Langdon rolled his eyes: "Goodbye!"
"Don't!" Cecil knew what was wrong, and grabbed Langdon's arm. However, the power gap between the two sides was too great. As a result, he was dragged forward and begged for mercy, "I Wrong! I was wrong! The main cat is too soft, and it’s so cold in winter. Think about it, who doesn’t like things that are soft, thick and have a constant temperature! By the way, it’s all the fault of the kang, this year’s kang is so hot It’s not warm at all! Also, it’s too cold in winter! Listen to my argument... Bah, no, listen to my explanation!”
Langdon still didn't "forgive" Cecil after all, but he stopped making troubles and returned to his original "normal" style.He has been depressed for a while, always feeling that the sky is out of the question, and if this continues, it seems that the project of "masculine detachment" will never be realized.
"It's fine for me to make a fool of myself, but why are you making a fool of yourself when Langdon is by your side?" Russell, who was exhausted from the calculations, said so dissatisfied one day, "What are you doing? The bed is not going well?"
Cecil sighed, and casually talked about Langdon's reaction. Anyway, these people watched him get along with Langdon, so there was nothing to hide.
Sure enough, Russell uttered a disdainful voice after hearing this: "What's the matter, do you want Langdon to obey you?"
"It's not about following what you say, at least why you're angry after all?" Cecil said weakly.
Russell said calmly, "If you ask for attention, you still have to talk, what's the use of you?"
Cecil; "..."
"Besides, is he so bad?"
"Where is it good?"
"Wang Qi would not dare to do this to the king."
After Russell said these words, Cecil was stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly seemed to understand something. During dinner, he approached Langdon with a smile on his face and said, "Actually, you want to use this method to show that we are It will never be between the king and the king, right?"
Langdon showed a hint of surprise, and then curled his lips: "What are you thinking?"
"I understand, I understand." Cecil took the initiative to lean over and kiss Langdon on the cheek.
The next day, Russell was stopped by Langdon.
"Don't brainwash Sisi."
"Yo, you're starting to shout so affectionately? Then why are you putting on a face recently?"
"Desire to be dissatisfied."
"……what?"
Langdon glared at Russell angrily, and said, "Don't you understand if you are dissatisfied with desire?" and turned to leave.
What the hell is wrong with the teacher?Looking at the background of Langdon's departure, Russell thought silently.
Cecil took care of the - non-existent - Langdon before he remembered the seven gods who had come that day.
"What are those gods here for?" Cecil approached Langdon and asked, "Calling in?"
"You look familiar." Langdon's explanation was very down-to-earth, "You have reached the civilized level now, so they came to say hello in advance. After all, they are all minor gods and newborn gods, and they still need to work hard to build a good relationship with believers. "
Cecil recalled the "industry" names of those gods, isn't it? They are all gods with little climate, at least not now, and the wheels are expected to be continuously upgraded in the future, and the others are hard to say.
"Wait a minute, are the city wall bricks also little gods?" Cecil wondered, "The city wall is such an important thing."
"The city wall is a relatively capable one, but you have different city wall bricks here." Langdon said.
Oh, it was left by Mr. Great Wall, so it really needs to come to visit the pier.
Cecil still had a huge question in his mind: "What do you mean by civilization level? We are already a civilization now?" He thought about it, "I don't think there is any change."
"I advise you to take a walk in the city." Langdon said with a smile, with a little relief and joy, "I still want to relax once in a while, my dear king."
Now that my dear has said so, as a "Liver Explosive King", of course you must be good at accepting advice.
The weather is very sunny, and the snow on the roads in the city has long been swept away by the police and residents. The complete sewer system ensures that there will be no water accumulation when the snow melts. This sewer system has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Stone, Roman Concrete and metal pipes went into battle together, and it was hard to create such a unique drainage system in the world.
On non-rest days, you can see "office workers" standing at the carriage station, stomping their feet and waiting for the bus. Passenger carriages are equipped with carriages and stoves. Although it is a bit dangerous, the simple carriages are actually leaking from all sides, and there is a danger of carbon dioxide poisoning. Not high.The current horse-drawn carriage passenger transport system is still not profitable, and still needs Cecil's financial subsidies. Apart from researching and developing new technologies, his other income has been filled into infrastructure and public systems, which is simply a bottomless pit.
Going to the toilet has become a habit. If someone finds defecating indiscriminately, the saliva and contempt of other people alone can make defecation difficult. I have to say that women are more natural than others in this regard. Men are much more polite, except for the chart woman... Anyway, Cecil is very happy to see that the city is not submerged in excrement, and he also found a person carrying a bucket to the public toilet. Sure enough, as long as there is a market There are products, and the toilet should be born in accordance with the times.
The city lacks greenery, but instead has more stone. When large-scale greening begins next year, this city will really become a garden city, which is no less than the capital of Tambunita, Yarji.
Cecil walked and looked all the way, wondering what was the difference, when he suddenly found a newly opened restaurant next to a carriage stop.
In this world, ordinary people don't have the concept of food shops, some are just taverns serving adventurers, because ordinary people don't spend money on food at all, ordinary people with a little money eat magic bread, and people in the magic world just eat it. Not to mention.The tavern is not a shop in the ordinary sense either. Most of them provide dry food for adventurers who are unwilling to use magic bits on magic bread and water. There is no wine at all, and the name is just "traditional".
This restaurant sells buns, soy milk, soup dumplings, noodles, etc. The buns are packed in paper bags, and customers bring their own bamboo tubes to pack soy milk. It is very convenient to eat and walk around. It is close to the bus station in the morning, and the business is booming. squad.
What attracts Cecil is not the visual scene, but the signboard of the store, which is the kind of Western-style signboard that hangs out, but there is a line of Chinese characters written on it: Lianlian Chidian.
Cecil confirmed it several times, and even rubbed his eyes.
How could it be Chinese characters?The owner of this store is a time traveler?No, this grammar does not feel like a Chinese, but the feeling of a foreigner learning Chinese characters.He walked a little farther and took a look. The owner of the shop was indeed a local, so what the hell happened?
The matter is not over yet.
When Cecil entered the divided commercial area, he saw many stores that were about to open. To his surprise, the signs were all written in Chinese, and most of the names were quite normal.
Cecil was full of doubts. Finally, he came across a store that was installing a signboard. The owner of the store seemed to be a couple. The husband stood on a stool and gestured with a signboard, while the wife kept correcting her position below.
"Go to the right, go to the right, go to... pass, go up, it's almost there!" In the weather after the heavy snow, his wife's cheeks were flushed from the cold, but her face was filled with happiness, "That's it!"
This is another food shop, but it is for dinner, specializing in all kinds of barbecue, and through the half-open door, you can still see a pile of hot pots that have just been made.
"Excuse me..." As soon as Cecil spoke, he got two kneeling subjects, "Get up, I don't like kneeling, you can just nod or bow."
They probably have been residents for a long time, and the couple knew more or less the nature of their Majesty, they stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you coming to eat?"
Cecil hurriedly said: "No, there is something I don't understand. Why do you write this kind of text on the signboard? Don't you write your own text?"
"We don't have writing." The husband replied, "We are from the opposite country ¥*[email protected], our country has no writing, and I don't want to use Tanbunita's writing. Mr. Guang just said that he can write you for us. The writing on it is the same as the writing on the gate of Yuecheng, this is really a big help!"
Cecil: "...who?"
"It's Mr. Guang, your attendant." The wife said.
Cecil:? ? ?
Where's my waiter...huh?
Cecil suddenly realized that he really "sort of" had attendants. The three wild children left by Luther, he entrusted the children to Mrs. Klass. , and entrusted the child... to whom?
Mrs. Krass's house is very lively now, and her natal family who have not yet found a place to live is gathered together. Her two older sisters and elder brother came first, and her parents are still floating on the sea to save money.Before Cecil entered the door, he was spotted by a sharp-eyed child, who yelled, "The king is coming! The king is coming!", and he always had the illusion of entering a fairy tale book.
"Good day, Your Majesty." Madam Klass hurried out, "Why are you here?"
"I came to ask you... ah, here you are!"
Cecil had already seen a familiar face. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. The child ran away very quickly, especially after getting enough nutrition. The wild child in front of him had grown to his chest.
"Good day, Your Majesty the King." The wild boy said, in decent Chinese, "Long time no see."
Cecil's eyes widened, and he said straight to the point: "Who taught you Chinese?"
"You." The wild child said, "Before there was no city here, we followed you, and we understood after listening to you every day."
Wild children cannot interpret magic, because their way of thinking is different from ordinary people, similar to children raised by wild animals. Even if interpreting magic has the characteristics of translation based on consciousness, it cannot make them understand other people's words, so what they hear is true Chinese.In the past, when Luther was there, he imitated the secret-like conversations between them. After Luther left, he even thought about teaching them Chinese, but then he became more and more busy and had to give up.
"The Mr. Guang that those stores said is you?" Cecil was even more surprised, "You named it yourself?"
"No." The wild child said a little shyly, "After the last battle of gods, His Royal Highness the great paper book took it for me. He played with us for a while. He said that we should all be surnamed Guang, saying This is your will."
Fuck, I didn't know that guy was here all this time? !
But in this way, it also explained why these children could write Chinese. During the conversation, the other two children also came out. Only then did Cecil realize that one of them was a girl, and her dark face was full of shyness and expectation.
"Why are you going to write the signboard for the store?" Cecil still asked this doubt.
"This is Moon City and your country, why don't you write your words?" The tallest boy said as a matter of course. civilization!"
Cecil suddenly understood why those little gods came to visit, and why Moon City had suddenly risen to the civilization level.
Characters are the foundation of a civilization. The way of human reproduction determines that characters will occupy a fundamental and critical position. It represents the inheritance and record of civilization, and also represents the characteristics of civilization. What's more, the long history of Chinese and the powerful The interpretation function is also enough to disdain many civilizations.
As long as they have completed the elementary school courses, children can also feel the feelings of poets 2000 years ago, learn the strategies of famous generals 3000 years ago, and appreciate the prosperity and decline of a family thousands of years ago.
Cecil was inexplicably moved, and pressed the shoulder of the wild child and asked, "What are your names?"
"Guangshu."
"Guangwen."
"Guangzhi."
Cecil: "..."
Why does Nima act like the illegitimate child born between me and those three gods?
shameless!
In any case, Cecil had no reason to object to this matter. He happily returned to the meeting room, and when he saw Langdon, he jumped up and down and said it all over again.
"Happy?" Langdon leaned his elbows on the table and listened quietly. "This is an inevitable process."
"It just felt a little sudden." Cecil giggled, "You said, we are all civilized now, shouldn't we also have a country name... huh?!"
Langdon suddenly moved closer and covered Cecil's mouth, and said solemnly, "The city wall on the first ring may be fine, but with the name of the country, are you sure you can hold on to the city wall on the second ring?"
Cecil knew instantly that he would keep his mouth shut without Langdon covering him.
Almost had an accident!In this winter, if the second ring city wall fails, it will be really fun!
"What does the second ring need to be built?" Cecil couldn't help discussing it even though it couldn't be built right now.
"The blueprint sent by His Highness the Great Wall is good," Langdon said.
Fuck, what year and month will that be built!
Cecil grinned when he heard this, thought about it, and decided to add a few more layers of bricks, or improve the quality of the bricks?Ah, speaking of which, brick kilns should also spread out. Can we start thinking about white porcelain?
White porcelain, textiles, clothing, silk, cotton cloth, banquet service, Damascus steel, you can plate it casually, and you will be greeted with small money, so you don’t have to worry about Russell’s stepmother’s face anymore!
The more Cecil thought about it, the more itchy and unbearable he was, suffering from the severe winter and unable to do anything, so he had to talk to Langdon about his mouth addiction.
"You can consider the name of the country, just don't say it." Langdon nodded Cecil's forehead, "Your naming standards are really not that good."
Cecil's mind immediately drifted away, and a super fun name quickly came to mind.
The name of the country in the current era on the earth is still unnecessary, and it is a bit unlucky to use the previous country name or dynasty. After thinking about it, he thought of an interesting name: the Middle Kingdom.
Cecil suddenly looked forward to the expressions of other people hearing the name of this country. It must be very exciting. However, he still has a lot of things to do right now.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, you can't do things outside, so let's do things in the room!
Like...an auction.

Regarding the progress, it is impossible to write at this speed all the way to modern civilization. A few million words will not be enough. Moreover, social upgrading is getting faster and faster. Once steam power is developed, it will be much faster to enter the electrical age.
With the current progress, I estimate that about two cups of milk tea can read the full text~
However, it is always a pity that I cannot drive. I saw someone driving in a special way on Weibo. If I have a chance, I will try it (?°???°)?
