After a day of chaos and frequent accidents, Lin Ziran still didn't feel much sleepy at night, even if he lay down, he still slept very lightly, and at the same time, he was thinking about many things in a daze.

There are all kinds of people or things on the earth, good and bad.

But more often than not, there is fear of the future!

Yes!

Even if he is calm in front of outsiders during the day, but as a newcomer, even if his psychological quality is strong, he will inevitably be more or less afraid.

By the dawn of the next day, Lin Ziran woke up from his dream in a cold sweat.

In the dream, he dreamed that he led a group of bandits under his command to attack everywhere and grew rapidly, but he was surrounded by the officials and soldiers, and finally surrounded.

The army suffered a crushing defeat, and the officers and men killed him and fired a volley of guns at him!

So much so that after he woke up in his dream, he involuntarily touched his body!

Fortunately, there is no blood, no bullet holes!

He's alive!

After waking up from the dream, Lin Ziran sat for a moment before taking a deep breath, suppressing all the panic in his heart, and then said loudly: "Someone!" ”

From this moment on, he became a bandit leader again, a bandit leader who pretended to be an officer!

After taking a hot bath, Lin Ziran felt that he had regained his good mental state, and after a simple breakfast, he went to the top of the city.

The city wall of Qingshan Town is only more than three meters high, which is not too thick, and the top of most of the city walls is only one meter wide, and only the area around the city gate tower has a relatively wide top.

Standing on the head of the city and looking into the city, because the city wall is relatively low, you can't see much in fact, but Qingshan Town is small, so you can barely see most of it.

Outside the city, there are large open spaces, which are not wilderness, but mostly arable land.

When Lin Ziran was looking inside and outside the city, Luo Mazi also ran to the city wall, came to Lin Ziran's side and said, "Big boss, the one surnamed Wang is here again!" ”

"What is he doing here?" Lin Ziran did not look back, but continued to stare outside the city.

There were already many farmers working outside the city, and just looking at the farmland outside the city, the low brick houses inside the city, and the smoke from the cooking, it was impossible to tell that this was a world that had entered the period of the industrial revolution.

Luo Mazi on the side said: "I brought someone to send fruits and vegetables, but I didn't leave, and said that I asked to see you!" ”

"Oh!" Lin Ziran said: "Since he is here, let him come!" ”

Lin Ziran planned to stay in this Qingshan Town for a long time, although he had the preparation and confidence to control violence, but if it was not necessary, Lin Ziran did not plan to do so for the time being.

If you really fall out with the town guard, or find out that these people are fake, it will always bring a lot of trouble at that time.

And Lin Ziran!

Hate the trouble!

After a while, Wang Jinqian was brought up, and he was a little obese and wore an official uniform with wide sleeves and long robes, which was very in line with the image of an official in Lin Ziran's impression.

Wang Jinqian said respectfully: "The lower officials meet Lord Lin!" ”

Lin Ziran hummed, and after a pause, he continued: "Come here so early, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Ziran didn't want to cause trouble, but he needed to maintain his image as a Shangguan, and arrogance was a must.

Lin Ziran was not polite, he said directly, and Wang Jinqian on the side didn't seem to feel any abruptness or offense, but continued to smile and said: "My lord, Xiaguan received news a few days ago, saying that there are bandits more than ten miles north of the city!" ”

He continued: "I should have told my lord yesterday, but my lord was confused for a moment and couldn't tell me in time, so I ask your lord for forgiveness!" ”

After saying this, he quietly raised his head and looked at Lin Ziran.

Lin Ziran, after hearing this, just whispered, and then came to 'know'.

What kind of bandits, they are bandits themselves!

However, after finishing speaking, Lin Ziran felt that this was too perfunctory, and immediately added: "When I turn around, the official will send someone to check, once the bandit traces are found, it will definitely be hit with thunder, and the people of Qingshan Town will be a bright one!" ”

Hearing Lin Ziran's answer, Wang Jinqian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these officers and soldiers of the Fifth Patrol Battalion would treat Qingshan Town as a fat sheep, and then they would not leave.

Immediately said with joy on his face: "In this way, the lower officials thank Lord Lin for eliminating harm for the people!" ”

Since this Lord Lin will send someone to check, when they find the bandits, they will naturally take people to suppress the bandits.

As for the bandits' den more than ten miles away, it was naturally the information that Wang Jinqian gave them for free, and the people in the bandits' den did not deal with Wang Jinqian very well, so they just borrowed the hands of the officers and soldiers to destroy them.

Such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, but Wang Jinqian thought about it for most of the night before he came up with it.

It's a pity that he doesn't know Lin Ziran's true identity, let alone what Lin Ziran thinks.

But at this time, Wang Jinqian listened to Lin Ziran again: "Is there a steam engine in the town?" Is there a machine factory? ”

Hearing this inexplicable question, Wang Jinqian was a little embarrassed, isn't this still talking about suppressing bandits, why did he jump to the steam engine and mechanical workshop all of a sudden.

Naturally, he knew about the steam engine, wasn't it just a big guy who burned coal, and this thing was not unusual, there was one in the town, which was used to carry water from the river outside the town.

And the machinery factory, how can there be any factory in the small place of Qingshan Town, at most there is a small-scale machinery workshop, with a small amount of machinery to make farm tools and ironware and the like.

Although he couldn't figure out why Lin Ziran asked, he still replied: "There is a steam engine for carrying water in the town, and if there is a mechanical workshop, there is only one iron workshop in the town!" ”

Lin Ziran became interested after hearing this: "Oh, let's go, take the official to have a look!" ”

From the memory of the original body, Lin Ziran already knew that this world used a steam engine powered by coal.

Pindan, the county next door to them, was a large coal-producing county, almost all of the coal mines already used steam engines, and there were also short railways between the mines to transport coal.

The coal is transported by railway in the mining area to the inland wharf in the county seat of Pingdan County, and then transported and sold by steam paddle ships.

Just from the coal industry and transportation in Pingdan County next door, Lin Ziran can basically judge that the industrial level of this world is already equivalent to the middle of the first industrial revolution on the earth.

However, this is just a memory of the original!

Lin Ziran hoped that he could see the relevant evidence with his own eyes, so as to confirm his judgment.

Although he didn't understand why Lin Ziran was interested in steam engines and ironwork workshops, Wang Jinqian still took Lin Ziran to see it.

Fortunately, Wang Jinqian and they have been in Qingshan Town for half a month, and they have worked hard to get money in every corner of the town in this half month.

Otherwise, Wang Jinqian really doesn't know where to go.

It didn't take long for Lin Ziran to see the steam engine used to carry water in Qingshan Town in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the city!
