Chapter 127: Pill Workshop
On the second day, Li Chen and his entourage came directly to the conscription registration place very early, after all, the main purpose of this trip is, of course, to join the army, so this is the most important thing.
At this time, the square here is still crowded with people, and the entire square is full of warriors one after another, and there is almost no room for practicing turning, all of which really verifies Yu Chigong's guess.
After all, there are no less than 300,000 people who come to sign up for the army this time, and many people are simply scrambling to be the first, after all, many people have come to Weidu from many places just to sign up for the army.
So basically, I couldn't wait, so I was ready to sign up on the first day.
At this time, it was just early in the morning, but this place was almost crowded, and it can be seen that the fanatical mood of the warriors who came to sign up for the army was basically unwilling to wait for a moment.
Fortunately, there are many sergeants in the square to maintain order, otherwise this situation will only be more chaotic and difficult to control, after all, there are too many people who come to sign up at this time.
The strength of these sergeants on the scene is extremely powerful, all of them are dressed in uniform black armor, they look majestic and solemn, they maintain order and no one dares to make trouble.
Although signing up is an important matter, they are not in a hurry at this time, so when several people saw this situation, they quickly and directly exited such a crowded square, otherwise it would be difficult to squeeze out after a while.
After all, as time goes by, more and more people slowly begin to gather here, which will only make the place impassable, so you can only take a look and leave directly.
Li Chen also secretly praised Wei Chigong's correct judgment, after all, his prediction saved them a lot of trouble, after all, it is best not to join in the fun in such a crowded crowd.
It was not easy for a few people to squeeze out of the crowded crowd, and after they came out, Li Chen said to Yu Chigong: "It is the correct judgment of Brother Yu Chi that allows us to save so many things, otherwise I am afraid that the whole day today will be wasted here." ”
Zhang Yunxi on the side also nodded, after all, it was not a wise move to join in the fun at this time, there were too many people.
At this time, Wei Chigong smiled and said: "Taking this opportunity, we can just go to this Weidu City, after all, Weidu is one of the three major capitals of the Han Kingdom, and there are many pill workshops and weapon workshops, just so we can open our eyes." ”
It was the first time Li Chen had heard of the concept of the Pill Workshop and the Weapon Workshop, after all, Li Chen had never seen these things before, after all, it was impossible to have these things in a small mountain town like Kuishan Town, so Li Chen's concept of these things was almost blank.
But as soon as he heard such a title, he knew that it must be a place to sell pills and weapons, which was also very attractive to Li Chen, after all, weapons and pills were rare materials for martial artists.
Li Chen's previous contact with the pill was only learned from the Lingyuan Shangxian, and he didn't know much, so Li Chen was full of interest in the pill workshop and weapon workshop that Yu Chigong said.
Not only Li Chen, but also Zhang Yunxi was also full of interest, after all, weapons and pills were extremely important materials for martial artists, and they were extremely scarce materials in battle.
Good pills and weapons are often available but not sought, Li Chen is just that his master gave him this Xingyun Sword, so that he can have such a sharp weapon, but not every martial artist has such luck.
For many warriors, a suitable weapon is often a scarce resource that can be met but not sought, and many warriors are crazy about a weapon that suits them.
After all, weapons also have different attributes, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, which are also suitable for warriors with different habits and means of attack, and a suitable weapon is a warrior who can increase the attack power of the warrior in actual combat.
At critical moments, it is the key to saving lives, after all, inferior weapons are often vulnerable, if the strength is equal, but the gap between weapons is too large, it is bound to be defeated.
But Li Chen can also think that good weapons must be extremely valuable, and the price is naturally expensive, so the price of the weapons sold in such an armory workshop is naturally extremely high.
But for Li Chen, I still want to go and see it, after all, heroes love swords, and of course Li Chen is also full of interest in swords.
For the elixir, Li Chen was even more curious, after all, the elixir with different attributes is basically very different in terms of the actual effect, and the actual effect that can be performed is also very different.
Before Li Chen and Niu Jingchun together, accompanied her to refine the elixir, although Li Chen still mainly practiced, but Li Chen still knew a lot about the elixir, after all, he had already mastered a lot of it after many years of hearing and seeing.
But Li Chen had never been to such a pill shop, and Li Chen had never known the true value of many pills, so Li Chen was also eager to try.
When Li Chen and Zhang Yunxi heard Wei Chigong say this, the two of them were obviously interested, and they were almost about to light up.
After all, it is difficult for any martial artist to resist the attraction of weapons and pills, and it is even more rare to be able to watch many kinds of pills in a concentrated manner like this.
Wei Chi Gong saw that the two of them were interested, so he continued: "This pill shop and weapon shop are only available in the three major capitals, after all, the price of pills and weapons is extremely high.
Ordinary warriors can't afford to buy it, but it is only the big families who are really among the three major capitals, or the royal family and nobles can consume it, so there is no need to set up a store elsewhere.
There are weapons and pills in this Weidu City, and it is also a place where many warriors linger, after all, pills and weapons are extremely rare and scarce materials, which are pursued by many warriors.
The pill shop and weapon shop in the Han Kingdom were all monopolized by the royal family, after all, such a profiteering industry, and things related to the country, were basically monopolized by the royal family.
The first is weapons, which are related to the stability of the overall situation of the Han Kingdom, and the dispersion of too many weapons and weapons to the people may cause many unpredictable dangers, which is related to the overall stability of the Han Kingdom, so it is controlled.
After all, if you encounter extremely high-quality, high-power weapons, they will be directly enjoyed by the royal family, and will not be exiled to the people, and excellent weapons will not be bought with money.
After all, only the royal family can enjoy more and higher quality weapons, which basically forms a monopoly.
Moreover, the weapons industry is a profiteering industry, which is basically a million profits, and it is difficult for many warriors to get a weapon that really suits them in their lifetime, after all, the price is extremely high.
After the high price, what is hidden is a huge profit, and such a large oil and water royal family will directly monopolize all of them, which is also the fundamental reason why the royal family is the most rich and powerful.
Because they control the country and control the rules of the country, they can use the rules they make for their own benefit, concentrate all the wealth in the world, and become the richest family.
As they get richer, they are more comfortable controlling the country, and the cycle repeats itself, making it a giant machine that runs for them.
They became the controllers of this huge machine, and everyone was a part of this huge machine, driven and enslaved, and constantly exploited, and finally wealth and power were concentrated in the hands of the royal family.
And all the treasures of this pill shop are controlled by the royal family, but also because of the scarcity and rarity of the pills, because the alchemists in the earth spirit world are extremely rare, compared to the majority of martial artists.
As a kind of cultivation, alchemists are extremely scarce, and alchemists are scarce, and with them comes an even more extreme scarcity of pills, even something that can be encountered but not sought.
As you know, most of the alchemists in the Han Kingdom were basically concentrated in the Burning Heaven Sect, and the leader of the Burning Heaven Sect was the Great Master Yin Long, that is, the highest alchemist recognized by the Earth Spirit Realm.
Therefore, the vast majority of alchemists in the Han Kingdom were directly controlled by the royal family, and the Burning Heaven Sect was almost all served by the imperial family, so naturally, the pills were all controlled by the imperial family.
Basically, all the elixirs were first enjoyed by the royal family, and then they were distributed to the military rivals of Weidu and Lingdu, but only the leaders of the extremely high status could enjoy these precious materials.
The other pills will be sold directly by the royal family through the pill shop, and then get a high profit.
In fact, although the pill is precious, it is far from the price in the pill shop, which is also the disguised exploitation of ordinary warriors by the royal family to obtain high profits.
After all, most of the pills in this country are monopolized by the royal family, so ordinary martial artists can only be exploited, after all, there are basically no alchemists among the people.
After all, for the cultivation of alchemists, the cost required in the early stage is too high, far less simple than the cultivation of martial artists, spiritual grass, elixir, and alchemy furnaces are extremely rare materials, so there are basically no alchemists among the people.
But in the Burning Heaven Sect, there is basically a complete system, under this system, every alchemist and every pill that is refined will be strictly controlled.
Therefore, it is almost difficult for the people to produce alchemists, and even if they appear, they will be attracted by the clans, after all, such alchemists are extremely rare whether they are high-grade or low-level, and only in the clans or royal families can they really be useful, otherwise such a high cost is not affordable by ordinary warriors.
Therefore, all the pills and weapons of the Han Kingdom were firmly controlled by the royal family, and this pill workshop and weapons workshop were also strictly controlled, and we were just addicted to it in the past. ”
When he said these words, Li Chen obviously saw the deep helplessness in Wei Chigong's eyes, after all, this is also the most real reality, and it is also the helplessness of every ordinary martial artist, the helplessness of reality.
But at this time, Li Chen was full of curiosity about the so-called pill workshop and weapon workshop that he had never seen before.
The three of them were chatting like this, and slowly followed Yu Chigong, although several people had not been to Weidu City, but Wei Chigong had already prepared the map, so both of them followed his footsteps.
Li Chen also saw that in the Weidu City, the road surface is wide, the streets are also extremely clean, and the roads in the entire city are all neat and uniform, which looks very magnificent.
The wide road leading from the city gate extends all the way to the city, and the road is basically a uniform width, and the shops, wine shops, restaurants, and trading houses on both sides are full of people.
In the entire Wei Capital, it is not the same as the solemn majesty of the outside world, but is full of fireworks, and the degree of economic development is almost visible, Li Chen secretly sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being one of the three major capitals.
Its scale, momentum, and economic development are far from being comparable to ordinary towns, and Li Chen is also extremely happy about the prosperity in front of him.
After all, there has been no war for many years, and the original militarized town has also become a prosperous town.
Li Chen accompanied Zhang Yunxi and Wei Chigong to visit it, and the continuous running and fatigue in the past few days were basically swept away, and the whole person also changed a kind of spirit.
After all, the registration will only start tomorrow, and Li Chen also decided to relax himself, after all, after a few days of running, Li Chen still can't help but feel extremely tired, and he is not iron-clad.
The group of three finally saw a crowded shop in front of them, which is different from restaurants and commercial houses, far more lively and prosperous than ordinary shops, it is simply hot!
Li Chen saw that there were only three words on the signboard at the door: Dan Medicine Workshop!
