Giant Talisman Incantation Loom (13)

I know the benefits of taxes; I'm even more eager to implement a tax system than you are.

As usual, the old village chief gently patted Li Boyang's arm and continued to explain with a smile.

"To paraphrase a phrase you often use, this is called 'taking from the people and using for the people,' which can help Li Household Village and even the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range develop better and faster."

"But you can't just consider the whole picture. The Li Household Village you see is comprised of nearly ten thousand individuals with different ideas."

"They have their own ideas and their own choices."

"Unless you intend to force them to obey your orders, these things can't be rushed."

"Just like bronze coins, a tax system can only last if everyone accepts it willingly."

Li Boyang naturally understood the principle the old village chief had put forward.

He simply felt that Li Household Village now boasts a diverse array of merchants and markets, and it was time to push things forward further.

The principle of "doing nothing yet accomplishing everything" and acting in accordance with the will of Heaven are also among Li Boyang's philosophies.

"Never mind, I didn't come here to discuss these things with you."

"I want to expand the early childhood education center and transform it into a... shelter that can accommodate children of all ages?"

After carefully considering his choice of words, Li Boyang was unsure whether the old village chief could understand what he was saying.

Fortunately, the old village chief proved to be a wise man who had supported Li Boyang all the way.

He not only understood Li Boyang's statement, but he had even guessed what the other party was thinking.

"Is it for those three-eyed children?"

Ignoring Li Boyang's surprised look, the old village chief spoke with a kind expression.

"I have already given the instructions, and I plan to move the primary school outside the village as well."

"After all, the training ground that Qiwa is in charge of needs to be expanded. The Law Technique you had him teach are no longer suitable for practice in the village."

"My only concern right now is the safety of the children."

Seeing the old village chief's hesitant expression, Li Boyang knew exactly what the other party was planning.

"Okay! I understand what you mean."

"I'll talk to Chiru about building the school near the reservoir."

"That place is not only spacious and has a good environment, but with the protection of the Chiru, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Upon hearing this, the old village chief immediately burst into laughter.

The elderly sometimes play little tricks, not for any particular purpose, but for fun.

"Hehe, I knew you'd get it."

Mountain God Reservoir, near the textile factory.

The textile factory in Li Household Village is no longer the primitive workshop it once was.

With standardized assembly line operations and the assistance of waterwheels and windmills, this place has become a large-scale assembly line covering hundreds of square meters.

When Li Jingshu arrived here after a long absence, she almost didn't recognize where she was.

Are those... all textile machines?

Pointing to the giant textile machines powered by waterwheels and windmills, Li Jingshu's face was filled with surprise.

After several iterations, the textile machines in Li Household Village are no longer the small textile machines that can be operated by a single person, as they are found elsewhere.

Li Jingshu even saw traces of talismans on those giant spinning machines.

It's not just that the surface is engraved with symbols; the very structure of those textile machines constitutes a Maxims.

It's a combination of physics, structural mechanics, and the science of Maxims Talismans.

Although this combination is still quite crude at present.

However, it deviated from the framework that Li Boyang had initially set for the textile machine.

However, as Li Jingshu walked into the large textile factory, she realized that what she had seen was only the surface.

Near the central location of the textile factory.

A textile machine, which could already be called a "Law Treasure," is running continuously.

This Law Treasure weaves rocks, flowing water, and clouds into threads, which are then sent to other looms for further weaving.

The threads woven from the rock are incredibly strong, strong enough to defend against attacks from ordinary talisman launchers.

The silk threads woven by flowing water are incredibly resilient, making them impossible for ordinary swords to penetrate.

The threads woven from clouds have a transparent luster, giving them the ability to become invisible.

Li Jingshu simply couldn't believe that these things could be woven by ordinary people, let alone how magical the clothes woven from these silk threads would be.

"When did I create such a Law Treasure for you?"

Turning her head to look at Chen Yun, whose face was full of pride, Li Jingshu asked incredulously in a low voice.

"That thing wasn't made by your little brother; it's Talisman Incantation Loom that we created in collaboration with Hanging Silk Lady."

Shaking her head in denial of Li Jingshu's statement, Chen Yun made no attempt to hide her smugness.

"To persuade Hanging Silk Lady, I, your sister-in-law, have made countless trips to Yunmeng Marsh..."

Once again, Li Jingshu gaped in astonishment and quickly interrupted the other person, asking a question.

"Run towards Yunmeng Marsh?"

"Does my brother know about this?"

Although the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh have submitted to Li Boyang, Yunmeng Marsh itself is a very dangerous place.

For an ordinary person like Chen Yun to repeatedly travel to and from Yunmeng Marsh, an accident is bound to happen sooner or later.

"I didn't tell him, and Yunmeng Marsh isn't as dangerous as you all say."

"Aside from the effort it took to persuade Hanging Silk Lady, everything else went smoothly."

Upon hearing Chen Yun's words, Li Jingshu immediately understood.

It seems Li Boyang knew about this matter; otherwise, Chen Yun would never have been able to handle everything so smoothly.

[No, given Hanging Silk Lady's mastery of Maxims Talismans...]

Is it really possible to create such a perfect Law Treasure all by oneself?

Thinking of this, Li Jingshu once again turned her gaze to the enormous [Talisman Incantation Loom].

Having formed a preconceived notion, Li Jingshu could only see the [Talisman Incantation Loom] as something Li Boyang had done.

After all, Hanging Silk Lady's forte is Life Talisman Incantation.

But that [Talisman Incantation Loom] looks like the final product of a combination of various Talisman Incantation, with [Transformation Talisman Incantation] at its core.

Only [Transformation Talisman Incantation] can change the shape of an object without affecting the properties of the substance itself.

Most importantly, the Bronze Island where Hanging Silk Lady is stationed is rich in bronze.

However, this [Talisman Incantation Loom] was not made of bronze; instead, it used many biological materials.

Especially the main ingredient, the more Li Jingshu looked at it, the more it resembled the gourd vine that had nurtured Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

"Xiao Gui, doesn't that spinning machine look just like your mother's?"

While Chen Yun wasn't paying attention, Li Jingshu whispered to Xiao Gui on her shoulder and asked.

"How could this be my mother's doing?"

Xiao Gui, also carefully lowering her voice, successfully confirmed Li Jingshu's guess.

"Don't even mention my mother, even if you gathered all the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh together, they might not be able to replicate this spinning machine."
