Could This Be a Paradise?
The fuel used to light lanterns was usually lamp oil, but some used candles.
However, be it lamp oil or candles, they were not things that ordinary people could casually squander.
The commoners of the Great Song often used a type of oil lamp that saved a lot of oil.
Water was injected into the interior to prevent the flames from being too high and to make the lights weak, thus achieving the effect of saving fuel.
But in front of him…
These two rows of lanterns extended all the way up the mountain.
How much lamp oil would it consume?
"It must have been lit to welcome us.”
"That must be the case! Chief is really righteous!"
Yang Zhi and Shi Bao looked at each other and started to think.
Chong Lin smiled and said," Chief welcomes the loyalty of the two of you to Mount Liang. Of course, he is sincere. However, these lanterns are not specially prepared for the two of you. They are always available on Mount Liang."”
"Half a month ago, under the leadership of the boss, the relevant research team of Liangshan had already developed the technology to extract oil from animals. The villages affiliated to Liangshan now have many chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, and sheep.”
"Therefore, the animal fat extracted is a lot.”
"Lighting a lantern or something is too easy.”
"Isn't animal oil for eating?" Yang Zhi asked in surprise. Are you going to use them all to light up the lamps?"
"Isn't it too extravagant?"
"Other than animal oil for some food, everyone usually eats vegetable oil, the kind extracted from sesame and soybeans. Animal oil? They weren't poor, so who would eat that stuff!”Chong Lin pretended to be cool.
These words instantly stabbed Yang Zhi and Shi Bao's hearts.
The two of them often couldn't even eat animal oil. It turned out that their standard of living was even worse than that of poor people in Liangshan!
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull. They were silent all the way until they entered the hinterland of Liangshan.
Wanzi City.
Liangshan was a treasure land. Due to the diversion of the Yellow River many times, it had formed an 800-mile lake. The waterways crisscrossed, and the main mountain peak had many steep rock walls. The road to the top of the mountain was blocked by one man, and there were many barriers. It was a perfect military treasure land.
However, in the middle of the main peak of Mount Liang, there was a mirror-like flat land that was more than five thousand feet wide.
This piece of land was Wanzi City of Liangshan.
It was where most of the residents of Liangshan lived.
However, what surprised Yang Zhi and Shi Bao was not the majestic and steep terrain of the three passes surrounded by high peaks, but the brightly lit Wanzi City that was like a bright spark in the dark night!
Lights were everywhere, illuminating the ground as if it was daytime.
The houses were arranged in rows and rows, and all the streets were clean and tidy. The pedestrians walked hurriedly, but everyone could not help but smile.
This kind of smile wasn't the kind of emotion that one would only have when seeing something joyous or celebrating the new year.
Instead, it was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart and was filled with a positive attitude towards life.
Shi Bao was stunned by what he saw. A famous essay that had been passed down through the ages appeared in his mind.
"After walking another ten steps, I suddenly saw the light. The land is flat and spacious, and the houses are solemn. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboo trees. Crossing paths, chickens and dogs hear each other…"
Four words jumped into his mind.
"Shangri-La!"
No!
It was not just a paradise. This place was so bustling and lively, and everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
This was a f * cking prosperous version of Shangri-La!
He couldn't help but nudge Yang Zhi beside him with his elbow and whispered,""Envoy Yang, you have seen the world. Was it also this prosperous in Tokyo?”
Yang Zhi was also stunned at this moment. He said," In terms of prosperity, I've actually seen many better ones in Tokyo. After all, there are too many high-ranking officials and nobles in Tokyo…But…"
"How can a place where commoners live be so good?”
"How can it be so prosperous and lively?”
"Tokyo's night lights are amazing, but I feel that…it's not as good as here!”
Shi Bao secretly clicked his tongue.
Chong Lin was already smiling from the side." Please don't blame me. Chief has always felt that this place is not enough, so he has recently asked people to develop red bricks and cement. He said that it won't be long before bricks and cement can be mass-produced.”
"When the time comes, we will have enough steel to supply.”
"Soon, Liangshan will be renovated.”
"We still need to renovate it?" Hearing this, Yang Zhi and Shi Bao immediately jumped up.
"Naturally, it has to be renovated!" " In Chief's words," Chong Lin said resolutely," we'll build all six stories of small buildings. Each story can accommodate two families, and each family will have three rooms and one living room.”
"Three rooms and one living room. There must be a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, a sofa, and running water!”
" Other than that, there's also the construction of gardens, football fields…"
Lin Chong rambled on. Actually, he was also confused about some things, so when he spoke, he was confused. However, this did not stop Shi Bao and Yang Zhi from staring blankly.
As the two of them listened, the confusion on their faces became more and more intense.
Six floors?
Three bedrooms and one living room?
Kitchen, bathroom?
Football field?
What was that?
Why did it feel like this place wasn't a place for humans to live?
Was this the place where immortals lived?
After Chong Lin had finished speaking, a look of yearning appeared on his face as he said,"I'm also looking forward to that day. I really don't know how far our Liang Mountain can develop under the leadership of Chief.”
"I was too busy chatting and neglected the two of you."”
"You two must be hungry. Why don't we go to the cafeteria for supper?”
"Hahaha, speaking of supper, my Liangshan is definitely the best.”
Yang Zhi and Shi Bao actually wanted to hear what Lin Chong had to say about the future of Liangshan, although they did not understand what he was talking about. But it sounded very satisfying!
However, since Lin Chong wanted to bring them out for a meal, the two of them could not interrupt him. They just kept imagining what the future Liangshan would be like.
I'm looking forward to it!
When the three of them arrived at the canteen, Yang Zhi and Shi Bao realized that the canteen was completely different from what they had imagined!
In a huge wooden house, there were wooden tables placed in the middle, and each wooden table was equipped with four stools.
Behind the wooden table were small windows.
All kinds of delicacies were written on it.
" Egg Noodles,"" Noodles with Braised Meat,"" Pork,"" Eggs, Fried Rice,"" Small Hotpot,"" Ten Great Bowls of Liangshan..."
More than a dozen windows were lined up, and many people were waiting in line.
Yang Zhi and Shi Bao were extremely curious and went over to take a look.
He quickly returned to Chong Lin's side and immediately said,""Big Brother Lin Chong, um, I have a presumptuous request. I think these all look quite delicious.”
"I think so too." Shi Baokuang nodded.”
In fact, the two of them had already eaten a bowl of meat sauce noodles each at the restaurant at the entrance of Lijiadaokou. However, people these days were more hungry and could eat more. Now that they were hooked by the gluttony worm, they could not help but drool.
"Of course not." Chong Lin said with a smile.
" Brother Lin Chong, there's one more thing…" Shi Bao's face was full of embarrassment as he said,""Can you give me one of the treasured sabers used by those cooks?”
"I'm willing to go through fire and water for Liangshan, just for a treasured saber!”
