Chapter 47, Receiving the Industrial Mecha Industry
Before Zheng Xiyuan set up the formation, he had already left all the armed robot troops he brought with him outside the formation to guard them and prevent the living from entering.
Although once someone enters the formation realm, the images of the four divine beasts will take the initiative to attack the other party. However, Zheng Xiyuan still does not want to kill innocents indiscriminately.
Outside the formation, it was Qinghe, Qinghe bowed and said, "My lord, Lord Gong Ting is awake." β
"Oh, I'll take a look. Zheng Xiyuan said, following the thunder.
Inside a tent, Qinghe stayed outside, and Zheng Xiyuan saw Gong Yuluo sitting on the bed.
I've been looking at her face carefully on the satellite for a long time, but where is the reality that it seems up close.
But I saw Gong Yuluo at this moment, and her jet-black hair splashed down like ink, hanging gracefully on the back of her head. If her hair is tied up, her face will look neutral. But at this moment, she seems to be a soft girl. The pale complexion that has not healed due to serious injuries is even more pitiful.
"It's a shame that a beautiful woman like you always wears her hair and armor and pretends to be a man. Zheng Xiyuan shook his head and smiled.
"Thank you for the compliment, please tell me Your Excellency's name, a big man like you is by no means an unknown person on the road, what kind of intentions do you have when you come to the Duchy of Luoyu?" Gong Yuluo looked directly at Zheng Xiyuan and said loudly.
"Then I'll be blunt, my name is Zheng Xiyuan, and I am the second son of the Zheng family. I came to this country to get this country, or rather, to become the future emperor of the Falling Rain Empire. Zheng Xiyuan said slowly, looking "unashamed".
"Emperor, the Duchy of Luoyu is just a small principality, I'm afraid it won't satisfy your Bobo bear heart. Gong Yuluo was obviously a little dissatisfied with Zheng Xiyuan's statement.
"You probably think I'm dreaming, but I'm going to use my power to change this country. I can make the citizens of this country earn more than a thousand gold coins a year, and I want to build a powerful army in the land of the Duchy of Luoyu, and eventually conquer the entire continent. Zheng Xiyuan said with a smile.
Gong Yu was stunned for a moment: "What about the good ideal, but, do you think it is possible?" Yes, in her heart, the Principality of Luoyu is a poor and weak country, even when her father was in power, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but the Principality of Luoyu was still poor.
"Hehe, you can go and inquire, the Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce I opened has already earned seven or eight billion gold coins in just half a month. Even if the money is divided equally among the people of the Principality of Falling Feather. Each person can get two hundred gold coins, right? In this way, you should be able to believe that I can make more money with the three million people of the Principality of Falling Feathers, right?"
"But it's impossible, do you want to try it with me?I need the full support of the people, and before that, it is very important to use the influence of your Gong family in the Duchy of Luoyu. Would you like to help me?" said Zheng Xiyuan sincerely.
Gong Yuluo was surprised, "The Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce, that Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce that sells Peninsula perfume is actually Your Excellency's property?"
Zheng Xiyuan said calmly: "It's more true than pearls, if you don't believe it, I can give you a hundred bottles of dark incense as a meeting gift at any time." The dark incense is now out of print on the mainland, but it is not something that can be bought with money. But if I wanted to, I could produce hundreds of cases at any time. It's just that I'm afraid of too much depreciation. β
Gong Yuluo fell into deep thought, she obviously believed Zheng Xiyuan's words, and after half a sound, she looked at Zheng Xiyuan and said, "Hehe, I admit that you have moved me, can you let me think about it?"
Zheng Xiyuan laughed, "Of course you can consider it, but you have no right to refuse, even without your help, I can control this country, but I'm not He Shuo's guy." One I am on top. All who oppose me will die. Include all your supporters. β
"You!" Gong Yu was furious. But she clearly understood that what Zheng Xiyuan said was the truth. He also has the power to execute.
The reason why Grand Duke He Shuo was able to rule the Duchy of Luoyu was only a little blessing left by the Yasis Dynasty. His army was able to defeat the rebels, but it could not be destroyed. But Zheng Xiyuan's robot army is different. Even any country on the mainland would never dare to underestimate this force. The ruined and backward Duchy of Feather could not raise an army capable of resisting them.
"I see, in other words, I don't have a choice, right? My existence is just the icing on the cake for you to rule the Principality of Falling Feather by using the prestige of the Gong family in the Principality of Falling Feather. Right?" Gong Yuluo sighed and said as if resigned to his fate.
"You can understand it that way. Zheng Xiyuan smiled. "However, I can assure you that while you only have one choice, the outcome of this choice is definitely what you want to see. β
"Well, then I don't have to think about it, we'll make a marriage contract right away, and you'll be my fiancΓ© from now on. β
"FiancΓ©?!" Zheng Xiyuan was stunned, has his charm reached such a strong point? Wang Bazhi's anger has been released to the point of letting the beauty promise each other? This is too nonsense, right?
Gong Yuluo looked at Zheng Xiyuan's frightened expression for a moment, which one knew that he wanted to be crooked. His face flushed: "Don't get me wrong. I will confess my identity as a daughter to the people, and you will be justified as my fiancΓ©. Wait until things are done. You can break the marriage. β
"In that case......" Zheng Xiyuan said hesitantly. You must know that the marriage contract is set and then dissolved, which is a great damage to the reputation of women on the mainland. After all, why lift, this is a topic that can make people have infinite associations.
"It doesn't matter, if it's for the country, I'd do anything. I swore to my brother Gong Ting before he died, and until the moment before I died, I would do my best to protect this country on his behalf and my father. So, Zheng Xiyuan, if you betray this country, I will also want you to take revenge endlessly. No, even if you become a demon, I won't let you go. Gong Yuluo's eyes glowed with determination.
Zheng Xiyuan smiled. He regarded the Principality of Falling Feather as his own inheritance, and would anyone sell his inheritance? The answer, of course, was no. Looking at Gong Yuluo's beautiful and delicate face, such a pretty little beauty, wouldn't it be a pity if the marriage contract was dissolved at that time? Zheng Xiyuan felt that he could think about this issue carefully.
Coming out of the tent, Zheng Xiyuan saw Qinghe persuading a few middle-aged men with a bitter face.
"What's wrong?" asked Zheng Xiyuan.
Qinghe patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, said something, and then walked over to Zheng Xiyuan and said, "The people around have kindly sent some food over, which can be regarded as a temporary solution to the current crisis of our army's lack of food, but Lord Gong Ting has to ask me to send this food back." Alas...... That He Shuo is simply a brute, in order to buy those mecha troops, he scraped the people even more, and more and more people starved to death across the country. I want to come to Lord Gong Ting, and I am also worried......"
"Let's return the food first, and I'll solve the problem of military rations. Zheng Xiyuan said with a smile.
Agreeing to return in fifteen days at most, Zheng Xiyuan Imperial Sword headed towards Obsidian City. And in the Principality of Luoyu, there are also a lot of trivial things that need to be stabilized.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Zheng Xiyuan saw his cheap father Zheng Tianhua getting off the carriage.
"Daddy. Zheng Xiyuan said respectfully, because of his mother, he didn't have a cold to this man, but Zheng Xiyuan felt that he still had to respect him, after all, it was not a matter of Faste (the first homonym of English) to use his name to deceive in this world.
Zheng Xiyuan himself is not weak, and he does have some means to make money, but many times, the name of the Zheng family is the reason why his partners trust him. Otherwise, who would believe you, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid?
Zheng Tianhua glanced at Zheng Xiyuan, and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "Are you back?"
Zheng Xiyuan heard that although there was blame in his tone, he was not angry, and knew that he was not angry, so he said: "The child has some things to deal with, so he didn't go home." β
"Well, don't think I don't know anything, the Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce that has risen in the wind and rain recently was created by your kid, right? Hmph, you kid is calling my name everywhere to do things, do you think the Zheng family's signboard is very useful?" Zheng Tianhua looked dissatisfied, but there was a lot of smile in his eyes. If his son is promising, how can there be a father who is unhappy.
"The Zheng family's Megatron Heaven Yuan Continent, no one knows, no one knows, and the child is also very proud as the heir of the Zheng family. Zheng Xiyuan hurriedly said.
"Hehe, you're getting more and more slippery now, but if you think the name is useful, you have to contribute something to him. Come to my study, I have something to explain to you. β
Zheng Xiyuan was stunned, Zheng Tianhua rarely explained anything to himself so seriously, last time he wanted to duel with Zheng Dongyan for himself, what is it for this time?
In Zheng Tianhua's study, a stack of papers was thrown in front of Zheng Xiyuan. Zheng Tianhua said: "Take a look, this is the information report of a Zheng family's industrial mecha manufacturing factory. I'm going to put it in your hands!"
Zheng Xiyuan glanced at it roughly, a number on the first page made him flutter cautiously, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously at Zheng Tianhua: "Such an industry worth more than five billion gold coins will be handed over to me?"
But I saw that at the top of this stack was written "Zheng's battlefield mecha manufacturing industry".
The so-called battlefield mecha is the lowest level of mecha, and it is said to be used in the field, that is, to build fortifications in war, or to build city walls or something, which is equivalent to hard labor in the era of cold weapons. You have to know the walls of a small place like Obsidian, that's just the meaning. If the walls of the Imperial Military Town are to be in line with the size of the War Mecha. Otherwise, if you build a city wall of dozens of meters, a mecha will kick it with one foot, then you will make a woolen thread, and you don't need to repair it at all.
However, if you want to build a fortress hundreds or thousands of meters, manpower will definitely not work. That's why there's an option called a battlefield mech. Of course, sometimes this kind of mecha also builds palaces and mansions for big shots.
This kind of mecha has a simple structure, is very cheap to build, and the profit from selling it is not high. But the victory is in small profits and quick turnover. The scale of the Zheng family's industry is quite large. Therefore, it can also bring two or three billion gold coins to the Zheng family in a year.
Zheng Tianhua saw that Zheng Xiyuan was very unproductive, his face was red and panting, and he was a little speechless: "It's not for you, it's just for you to manage." β
"Huh...... Then what's in it for me?" Zheng Xiyuan had a noncommittal cold expression, but a pair of thief eyes secretly glanced at Zheng Tianhua. If the little Jiujiu in his heart had made a draft, the waste paper used would have been counted in tons.
"You!" Zheng Tianhua was furious, "You must know that although these factories are not our family's main industry, this income is also very important to the family, and I will hand it over to you, it is an opportunity for you!" Zheng Tianhua was very angry. His words also stopped there, as for what the chance, he didn't believe that the youngest son of the thief spirit would not understand.
Zheng Xiyuan didn't understand what Zheng Tianhua meant, it seems that some of his recent actions have made this father really start to weigh the direction of the head of the family. Letting yourself take charge of the battlefield mecha manufacturing factory can be said to be testing how much ability you have. If he did it himself, he would also have an excuse to pass on the position of head of the family to himself.
You must know that the Zheng family has been inherited for more than a thousand years, except for Zheng Xiyuan's grandfather Zheng Yueshan, who is a sect family, other branches and branches can also be said to be very numerous. Although Zheng Tianhua is currently in charge of several large military factories, the middle and high-level of military factories and some other industries are all in charge of separate families.
These people had regarded Zheng Dongyan as their heir a few years ago, and Ye Yun relied on the relationship of the Ye family to win over a lot. This is also the reason why Zheng Tianhua obviously prefers to like Ying Xiayan and favors Zheng Xiyuan more, but he has already identified Zheng Dongyan as an heir since he was a child. After all, the Zheng family is not his hall of words.
However, he found that Zheng Xiyuan, the second son, seemed to be a little more promising, it should be said that it was not a little, but a lot. Then he also made up his mind, as long as Zheng Xiyuan could make some achievements in this factory. Then if he lets Zheng Xiyuan be the heir, no one will say anything. Who doesn't want to earn more with someone who has the ability.
Regarding the Zheng family's tens of billions of assets, Zheng Xiyuan said that it was false to say that he was not impressed. However, he has been short of money lately, so he has to make some profits. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pretend to be a little embarrassed.
Zheng Tianhua saw that Zheng Xiyuan was still lacking in interest, so he came up angrily, slapped the table and said: "Why, you are still not satisfied, hmph, you want benefits, right? If you want benefits, you can do it, then rely on your own efforts to do it." The income of these factories in my hands last year was 260 million gold coins, and I am not afraid to tell you that some small businessmen have also developed this area in recent years, and our income is declining. If you can earn 300 million gold coins in the coming year. Or more, then I'll give you all the part after 300 million. What do you think?"
Zheng Tianhua didn't believe that Zheng Xiyuan could earn 300 million gold coins at all, after all, this industrial mecha industry can be said to be a relatively honest industry. It's not a trick, how much money you put into it, it gives you a certain percentage of the return every year. I won't lose you, but I don't want to make more either.
After all, this thing is not as technical as a military mecha. With enough money, anyone can invest in this. Others only sell your mecha when they see the face of your Zheng family. You set the price high, and some of them are cheap and waiting for others to buy them. That's how you are embarrassed.
"It's a deal. β
However, to Zheng Tianhua's surprise, Zheng Xiyuan slapped his thigh and agreed,
Zheng Xiyuan said confidently: "Dad, it's better for us to gamble a little bigger, during the period when I control this factory, you can't interfere in any of my decisions, a year ago, if I can't earn two billion, the insufficient part will be made up by my Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce." But if I make two billion gold coins. I'll pay 5 billion gold coins, how about you sell that factory to me together? β
"You kid, it's not a few months before the end of the year?" Zheng Tianhua said suspiciously.
Zheng Xiyuan smiled and said: "Once the word is spoken, it is difficult for the horse to chase, if my father doesn't believe it, we can make a note." β
"If you say it, it's hard to chase the horse, and if you say it well, we'll make a note. Zheng Tianhua has always had a heroic smile on his cold face.
Out of Zheng Tianhua's study, Zheng Xiyuan returned to the courtyard, and asked An Xi to find Xue Ruolan, and told Lin Yuxun about his imminent recovery of the Duchy of Luoyu.
When Zheng Xiyuan talked about the grain, Lin Yuxun frowned and asked, "You mean you want Miss Xue to buy this batch of grain?"
"What's the matter, is there a problem?" Zheng Xiyuan asked strangely.
"The Xue family will definitely not be involved in this industry, due to the natural magic, the grain has a high yield no matter where it is, so the price is not high. Merchants are reluctant to run this kind of business, so this piece is retailed by the state to the people. β
Zheng Xiyuan fell into a deep groan, originally he thought that this problem was easy to solve, but now it seems that it is easy to buy grain, but if such a large amount of grain is lost to the Principality of Luoyu, it will inevitably attract attention, can he still keep the secret of the Principality of Luoyu?
Lin Yuxun obviously also thought of Zheng Xiyuan's difficulties, and chuckled: "Have you forgotten me and Lin Yuan?"
Seeing that Zheng Xiyuan was still confused, Lin Yuxun said: "I have already made contact with my family a while ago, and because of the relationship between the Zheng family, the Shenyin Empire is also looking forward to your weapons." Said he wanted to get some samples as soon as possible. And don't forget, although the Divine Hidden Empire is not good at alchemy. But the economy is very developed, and the output of grain, cotton, silk and so on is very high. Now that you are ready to reign in the Principality of Falling Feather, and the Principality of Falling Feather is very close to the Divine Hidden Empire. Why don't you just trade directly with the Shenyin Empire? Moreover, Mr. Lin Yuan is the martial god of the Zhenguo in the Shenyin Empire, and according to himself, he also has some connections with our family. It would be better to have him come forward to negotiate with the Shenyin side. β
"Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Zheng Xiyuan said with a twinkle in his eyes. Hurriedly called Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was also quite happy with this task, according to his own words, this old boy had traveled on the mainland for hundreds of years with his immortal cultivation. Recently, because of Zheng Xiyuan's myelin cleansing pill, his skills have finally broken through the bottleneck of many years, and he originally planned to return to China to show off his old friends. Now I am naturally happy to travel at public expense.

This chapter is 5,000 words, because I stayed up late to write this chapter before, my brain was confused, and there were many mistakes, so I changed a lot. It's a little late, forgive me, hehe, there's another chapter before dinner. I'll try my best to make three changes
