Chapter 754: Revenge!
Chapter 754: Revenge!
The birth of great things is not always vigorous, the world knows, and often happens quietly, while outside it is calm and does not make a single wave.
The birth of [Yuanqi Jade Pool], except for a few high-level people in Xiguo, the outside world knows nothing, and they would not have thought that on this day, a group of people will light a spark, and it will be a prairie fire in the future.
Yao Yun also didn't want to expose this secret too early, and during this time, he could make a big layout and accumulate strength.
On the second day after the birth of the [Yuanqi Jade Pool], Yao Yun ordered Hu Yi to open up more trade routes to the Western Wilderness countries, dumping the goods of the Xi Kingdom, and buying jade on a large scale.
Under normal circumstances, a caravan goes to the Western Wilderness countries to run a business, buy heavenly and earthly treasure-level jade and the special products of the Western Wilderness countries to bring back to the Southern Wilderness countries, it is very profitable, and the big caravan can earn thousands of gold or tens of thousands of gold at a time;
However, if you buy miscellaneous jade, it is a loss-making transaction, the supply of miscellaneous jade is far greater than the demand, looking at all parts of the Celestial Empire, there is no price to sell, the caravan is in pursuit of profits, and no caravan is willing to go all the way to the Western Wilderness to buy miscellaneous jade.
However, the large and small caravans under the command of Hu Yi are different, they are national capital, obeying the orders of King Xi's palace, they are not only operating for profit, but also serving the strategy of Xiguo, and profit is not their only pursuit.
Compared to a continuous trade route to obtain jade, a small loss of profit was nothing to Yao Yun.
In addition, if the trade routes are opened, the private merchants of Xiguo will also continue to pour in, and when the time comes, Xiguo and the Western Wilderness countries will still have a trade surplus, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose, but you will earn more and earn less, and it is a question of whether you will make a profit now or in the future.
Of course, Yao Yun did not put all the hope of the source of jade in the Western Wilderness countries.
In fact, there are jade deposits in all parts of the world, but the number is different, and there are jade deposits in the Middle Earth, the Southern Wilderness, the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness, etc., but the overall number is not as good as the Western Wilderness.
There are also jade deposits in Xiguo, Yao Yun simplified the supernatural power [Exploring Mountains and Seas] into a rune secret technique [Surveying Mountains] and taught it to Tianwen's disciples, ordering them to explore the mineral deposits in the territory of Xiguo, and found more than 30 jade deposits of all sizes, but only two small deposits have been mined so far.
In the current situation that Xiguo is in urgent need of jade, Yao Yun does not plan to mine it on a large scale, and his family's resources will be gone if they are mined.
The jade mines of the Xi Kingdom could not be moved, so Yao Yun hit the idea on the heads of the Southern Wilderness countries.
At the first time, Yao Yun exerted his magical power [Ten Thousand Ghosts Come to the Flag], taught the rune secret technique [Mountain Surveying Technique] to a group of ghosts, and ordered this group of ghosts to investigate the jade mines and gold mines of various countries in the Southern Wilderness.
On the seventh day of Yao Yun's expedition to explore the veins, the good news came that a small jade deposit had been discovered in Izumo Country.
However, it is a pity that this small jade mine is not in a deserted and remote place, there is a city Bailing City ten miles away, and there are many villages around, even if the ghosts are mined at night, it will not take long to be discovered, which will cause some trouble.
Although the miscellaneous jade is not valuable, but the best jade in the jade mine belongs to the treasure of heaven and earth, the value is very high, for the jade deposits, all countries are very important, generally will not be sold, held in the hands, it is forbidden to mine privately.
That being said, money can make the devil grind, and when wealth opens the way and interests are driven, many things will be simpler.
After Yao Yun summoned Hu Yi to the palace, the next day the Xiguo caravan rushed to Bailing City in Izumo Kingdom.
After the Xiguo caravan intentionally or unintentionally threw out the intention of buying a large number of jade, whether it was beautiful jade or miscellaneous jade, the local heroes and big clans in Bailing City became active.
If the caravan is willing to buy a large number of them, even if the price is low, only a little more expensive than stone, but the amount of miscellaneous jade is large, it is undoubtedly an unimaginable wealth.
The Xiguo caravan saw that Bailing City Haoqiang was moved, so he revealed the whereabouts of the jade mine to them, and asked Bailing City Haoqiang to sell all the heavenly and earthly treasure-level jade in the jade mine to the caravan, and for this reason, the caravan could buy a large amount of miscellaneous jade.
Originally, mining jade ore and selling good jade would make a lot of money, and it was worth taking the risk of opening a mine privately.
The Haoqiang clan of Bailing City was tempted by huge interests, and really did not report the news of the jade mine to Yunbo, but began to mine the jade mine privately and "friendly trade" with the Xiguo caravan.
After the successful case of "Bailing City", Yao Yun and Hu Yi were greatly inspired.
Yao Yunke remembered that when Izumo Bo remembered the treasure of heaven and earth in Xiguo, although it was nothing, but Yao Yun was also quite annoyed, if it wasn't for the second elder who gave up his old book for 800 miles to bombard Yunbo, Xiguo would have gone into a desperate situation.
In the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the status of the two countries has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the situation has also been reversed.
In the past, it was the Izumo country that remembered the heavenly treasures of the Kamiki country, natural mineral deposits,
This will be Yao Yun's eyes and hearts fluttering at the mines of Izumo Country.
As the so-called gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, Yao Yun simply put all the main exploration forces in Izumo Province, swept Izumo Province in a big way, and issued an order to "empty Izumo Province".
Those who can steal are all stolen, and those who can't steal collude with local tyrants to frantically plunder jade resources by means of trade.
In the next two months, when the countries of the Southern Wilderness were busy with spring ploughing, the army of explorers and ghosts successively discovered eleven jade deposits of all sizes in Izumo Province.
Among them, six jade mines are located in the deserted mountains, which naturally goes without saying, Yao Yun casually dispatched an army of ghosts to steal the mines.
There are also five jade deposits that are not easy to steal, so the Xiguo caravan concocted the same method and joined forces with local tycoons to mine them.
In this process, in order to confuse the public, large and small caravans of Hee inevitably entered Izumo Province in large quantities and traded with it, and a large amount of Hee capital poured into Izumo Province, making a great contribution to the prosperity of Izumo Province.
This situation was soon discovered by Izumo Kuni, which attracted the attention of Izumo Bo.
After hearing this news, Izumo Bo was a little surprised, the relationship between Izumo and Xi was like fire and water, and it stands to reason that the merchants of Izumo would not enter Izumo Province in a big way.
In the Izumo Palace, Izumo Bo was shocked and asked the Minister of State:
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by Xiyunhou?"
