"That's ...... then," Lao Jiu said with a deep groan, "I took out 350,000 spatial rings from the imperial inventory and asked the seven of you to sell them as consignments." However, for the sake of the long-term operation of your business, I still recommend that you bundle it. ”

"That...... Xiao Jiu, can I ask first, the price of this space ring? At this time, Yukun looked at Lao Jiu and asked cautiously.

"Hehe, we're all our own people, I'll tell you the truth." Lao Jiu smiled, and then said very calmly, "The cost price of a space ring is only about fifty gold coins, if you use it well, you won't earn a little." ”

"What? What did you talk to Huaxia about? Yukun looked at Lao Jiu with a shocked face and shouted.

"Hey...... We have this thing at the moment, and the price is naturally up to us! Lao Jiu smiled proudly, "But you just know, in the future, we can adjust the price appropriately according to market demand." ”

"Who would say such a thing!" Murong Feng glanced at Lao Jiu angrily and said, "You kid will lose money if you don't do business." So how much are you going to set the price on? ”

"If you start a business, it's set at five hundred gold coins." Lao Jiu said casually, "We can't let Huaxia feel a loss at the moment. Besides, scarcity is expensive, and when we sell it at that time, we also need certain means. ”

"Of course, I'm more of a hate for hunger marketing. Therefore, our main income in the early stage is the gold coins of those rich people, and after meeting their needs, we will significantly reduce the price and win the favor of players. ”

"You kid, this is obviously a cheater!" Yukun shook his head and said with a smile.

"I did it all voluntarily, and I didn't force them." Lao Jiu rolled his eyes and said.

"Now that we have the bottom in our hearts, if there is nothing else, we will go back first." Baili Huaxian said at this time, "I believe that everyone will hold a family meeting and make a reasonable plan for future development." ”

"Okay, you guys go back and discuss it first, we still have some internal matters to discuss, so we won't leave you to eat." Lao Jiu looked at the representatives of the various families and said.

After a while, the people of several major families left one after another, leaving only Lao Jiu and a few daughters, as well as Yi Xuozi. Now that the foundation of the Empire has been completed, the next step is to continuously strengthen the foundation of the empire, and then have the strength to participate in the real world war.

"Yuyu, how is the construction of the coastal city wall in the current Xiaoyao Empire?" After the people from each family left, Lao Jiu frowned, looked at Bai Ruyu and asked.

"The finishing touches have already begun, and it can be fully completed before the Kirin trading base opens. What's wrong? Bai Ruyu looked at Lao Jiu puzzled and said.

"It's nothing, it's just thinking about how to distribute the empire's military power when the time comes." Lao Jiu said casually, then turned to Yu Shengxiang and asked, "Xiangxiang, what is the current number and strength of the empire's army?" ”

"Now not counting the sailors, the total strength is controlled at three million." Yu Shengxiang thought for a moment and said, "Among them, the last group of soldiers has the lowest rank, with an average rank of less than fifty, about 300,000. ”

"And the soldiers from the fifty to the sixty levels are the most numerous, with one and a half million. There are about a million soldiers from the sixty to the seventy levels. Finally, there are warriors above level seventy, after your stimulation, in just half a year, the number of our level seventy fighters has directly exceeded nearly 200,000! ”

"This can be said to be a miracle in the game. At present, I am holding a selection event, and I will conduct special training for the fighters who are stuck in the sixty-ninth level. I believe that in another half a year, the number of our level 70 warriors will be more than doubled. ”

"According to the current situation, it is expected that by the end of the year, the number of our seventy-level soldiers will reach 500,000. And the soldiers in their 60s or more can break through 2.2 million. The rest of the soldiers are all at least fifty-five or above. ”

"Do you have any ideas about the replenishment with the army? After all, we are not currently in a large-scale war. If war breaks out in the future, the depletion of the number of troops is inevitable, and how will the troops be replenished at that time? Lao Jiu asked with a frown.

"The soldiers in the game, temporary replenishment will definitely not work." Yu Shengxiang looked at Lao Jiu and said, "But these three million soldiers are all regular. In addition to them, our empire also has logistics troops, miscellaneous servants, militias and other irregular formations. ”

"And these people also have daily training, etc., although the level rises slowly, but they can replenish the military strength at a critical time. The number of personnel serving these three million fighters alone is more than five million, so we don't have to worry about the replenishment of troops at all. ”

"Cher, how is the current cost of our army?" Lao Jiu looked at Baili Piaoxue again and asked.

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the three million regular army." Baili Piaoxue looked at Lao Jiu and said, "A month's military salary is about 20 million gold coins, food consumption is about 3 million gold coins, and daily necessities are about 2 million gold coins. ”

"Since the system has been updated, the equipment below the artifact has a durability, that is, daily wear and tear. And in a month, the maintenance cost of the equipment alone is as high as 15 million gold coins. Therefore, the consumption of these three million regular troops in a month is more than 40 million gold coins. ”

"And for the three million troops, the logistics and other departments consume more than 20 million gold coins a month. This is only a small part of the cost of the empire, and now you know that to keep the entire empire running, it costs billions of gold every month. ”

"So much? Looks like we're going to find a way to make more money! Lao Jiu paused for a moment, and then said with some distress.

"What do you think? Now the empire is just beginning to grow, and it is almost impossible to make ends meet every month. Baili Piaoxue rolled her eyes and said, "Fortunately, the Qilin base is about to open, which is a good opportunity to increase our empire's income." ”

"What are your plans for the opening of the Qilin base to boost the empire's economy?" Lao Jiu looked at Baili Piaoxue and asked.

"I'll tell you about this." Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu and said, "Our plan is actually very simple, that is, to use the Qilin Trade Base to attract foreign aid. Let more people come to invest in the Empire. ”

"By the way, how are you negotiating with the major empires?" Hearing Long Sifeng say this, Lao Jiu seemed to remember something, looked at her and said with some embarrassment, "I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the Indian Alliance last time, so I ......"

"I know you can't be trusted!" Long Sifeng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, after I published my paper on the Internet, many empires have expressed interest in the Qilin base." I still need to have a few online talks in the next few days, and I believe that I will be able to attract many empires to join by then. ”

"However, our current trade base is still a bit insufficient. Space equipment alone is not enough to attract customers in the long run, so we need to do a lot for long-term trade development. ”

"You can take your time." Lao Jiu said very calmly, "What we are currently mainly providing is a platform for safe transactions, as long as it is recognized by various empires, then in the future, he will become a real international trade center." ”

"Not to mention our current leading space equipment manufacturing, that is, other supplies, we also have certain advantages. Don't forget, we also have a Huaxia behind us. What they really value is the 5,000-year-old historical heritage of China. ”

"Needless to say, ceramics and silk. In this antique game, there are many things that China can learn from various empires. And what many empires lack most now is the technology of making weapons and armor. ”

"They can get what they want through this platform, and then make their empire strong quickly! And what we really want to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money. ”

"Bao'er, which of the space equipment we are currently making is the most suitable for commercial use?" At the end, Lao Jiu looked at Mi Baoer and asked.

"The larger the space equipment, the higher the purity requirements for gold ore." Mi Baoer looked at Lao Jiu and said, "At present, the best commercial space equipment we have made is the storage bracelet. ”

"It resembles a gold bracelet in appearance, and has a camouflage function that changes color and hides the light. And its space is also very huge, reaching 500 cubic meters, a bit like a real warehouse. ”

"With an area of 200 square meters and a height of more than two meters, it is a real mobile warehouse. It's just that the cost of this kind of space bracelet is very high, and the cost of each one has reached about five thousand gold coins. However, these storage bracelets are the best artifacts of the caravan. ”

"If the production of space rings is halted for the time being, how many of these storage bracelets can we make before the Qilin trading base opens?" Hearing Mi Baoer say this, Lao Jiu asked with bright eyes.

"If this batch of colored copper ore is all purified to make storage bracelets, it is estimated that at least about 3,000 can be produced!" Mibael thought for a moment and said.

"Then let's all make storage bracelets first." Lao Jiu thought for a while and said, "Only by seizing the merchants and the Qilin trading base can we continue to develop for a long time." With nearly a month to go, we must be fully prepared. ”

"That's for sure!" Zhu Erpang looked at him and said, "Since the construction of the Qilin Trade Base, we have been preparing. At present, the goods hoarded by the empire have reached a terrible number, and I don't know how much it will be able to sell by then. ”

"Oh? What do you have in store? Lao Jiu looked at her and asked.
