After more than a month of training, super strength refining, flexible adaptation and reducing the consumption of fighting qi are several key points, Yu Xuewei played the best in this competition, Tan Gang mainly attacked with fierce fire attribute fighting energy, and his water attribute fighting energy strength was not enough to hit hard, and he flexibly dodged the edge at the beginning, using small skills such as water shield and water rope to attack Tan Gang's lower plate, causing him trouble, making it difficult for his attack to work. Tan Gang's martial arts consume a lot of fighting energy, which is not suitable for fighting, so before starting the fight, Yu Xuewei planned to use such a tactic, first consume him, and then counterattack. /p
This method really worked, and after half an hour, Tan Gang's attack was unsustainable, and Yu Xuewei took the initiative and quickly defeated him, scoring seven points after the seventh victory, and competing with his teammate Liang Bin, who won the other group, for first place. It was announced on the field that Yu Xuewei and Liang Bin would compete for the first place an hour later, but Yu Xuewei stood up and signaled to admit defeat, so that Liang Bin won the first place. /p
"Stinky fish, what do you mean? Let me?" Liang Bin was not satisfied. /p
"Xiao Binbin, your body is known for being quick and light, and your fighting spirit is stronger than mine, am I looking for abuse?" Yu Xuewei said with a hippie smile. /p
"Don't call me Xiao Binbin!" Liang Bin, who is tall, said dissatisfiedly, "I always feel that it is a bit ...... to be the first to be the first like this"/p
"Don't worry, I'll beat you all over the ground in two months!" Yu Xuewei said with a grin. /p
"Don't get cheap and sell well, go back and recover quickly, and prepare to break through!" Chu Lingyu said to Liang Bin. /p
He saw the fluctuation of Liang Bin's fighting spirit, and believed that Yu Xuewei also saw it, he took the initiative to admit defeat, not because he must not win the game, but because he was worried that his teammates would break through in the competition, and took the initiative to admit defeat. Chu Lingyu nodded, and praised Xuewei's approach, in the contact day by day, everyone has established a sincere friendship, which will be the most valuable wealth in the life of this group of people. /p
In the evening, Chu Lingyu attended the banquet in the palace, this time not only several princes of the royal family and the little princess Lan Lan participated, but even the old king Lan Shicheng, who had long since withdrawn from the court, also participated, he is the grandfather of the current king, he lived in seclusion in the palace more than ten years ago, and has not appeared in public for a long time, which surprised the officials of the kingdom, is it for this newly crowned General Huwei? General Huwei of Wupin is not a big official, but the thirteen-year-old General Huwei is the only one in the country, so it will not be so important, right? Everyone thought about it secretly, and went back to tell their families to try their best to befriend Chu Lingyu, who was the identity of an alchemist, which was enough to attract attention. /p
Chu Lingyu was comfortable in such a social situation, and after giving full play to his social talents and learning a lot of useful information, he was invited to the king's inner hall by an internal guard. /p
"Your Majesty the King!" Chu Lingyu bowed and saluted, fortunately, there was no habit of kneeling in this country. /p
"General Chu, please take a seat, please come mainly for the matter of the land you applied for. Lan Zhenting said straight to the point, "As far as I know, that land is desolate and barren, there are no mineral deposits in the nearby mountains, and you don't have many family members, which makes this king puzzled, can you make your thoughts clear?"
"Your Majesty, the mansion in the inner city is not something that a person with a thin family like me can enjoy, and the fertile land outside the city has already belonged to it, and it is difficult to obtain. Weichen wants to pioneer farming, gather a group of scattered households outside the city, they live hard outside the city, why don't I make some compensation, let them pioneer and farm, although the income is meager, they can make a living, and they don't have to sell their sons and daughters in the famine years. The wasteland outside the city, the state has to invest a certain amount of money every year to manage it, which is just in line with my idea, and it also saves the kingdom this investment here, hehe, isn't this a matter of killing two birds with one stone?"/p
"Nothing else?" Lan Zhenting asked. /p
"Your Majesty, that land isn't even a chicken rib in the eyes of the kingdom, I just think it's cheaper. Chu Lingyu explained. /p
This reason is also smooth, after all, the fertile fields outside the city are in the east and west parts of the city, Blue Feather City is located in the east of the entire kingdom, to the east is the new Blue Kingdom under the jurisdiction of a dozen large cities and a hundred and ten small cities, each city is surrounded by fields for cultivation, the ground to which the city belongs, more or less far or near the distribution of villages and towns, are naturally formed by the terrain where they are located, according to its characteristics, the common people live by fishing, grazing, and planting. People paid a certain amount of goods, gold and silver to the precinct as a tax, and also contributed a part of their harvest to the royal family. /p
"Then such a large piece of land, though cheap, and of no small total value, why would you not accept it as a dowry for the princess? Lan Zhenting deliberately showed some anger. /p
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but Weichen and the princess are too young, I don't know what their temperament will be in the future, if the princess doesn't like Weichen when she grows up, isn't she mistaken for the princess?" Chu Lingyu explained, thinking to himself, I don't want a pampered princess to be a daughter-in-law, with so many responsibilities on her back, who has the kung fu to coax the child? /p
"Since you think so, then let's talk, how much are you prepared to pay for this land?" Lan Zhenting suddenly turned into a shrewd businessman. /p
"The minister wants to hear the price offered by His Majesty. Chu Lingyu said calmly. /p
"1 million golden horns!" Lan Zhenting opened a really low price, this price really can't buy a good mansion in the inner city, "but there is another request......p
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Chu Lingyu knew that he would not get this land so easily, and secretly hummed in his heart: "This old fox!"
"In ten years, you will have to pay taxes on this land like any other city, and you will pay 10% of the income. Lan Zhenting thought for a while and said. /p
"May I ask Your Majesty, what if I don't manage well and can't make ends meet?" Chu Lingyu asked again. /p
"That's right...... This is also a problem, hehe...... "In Lan Zhenting's heart, he really didn't think that there would be any benefit here, it was just a child's whim." /p
"Can Your Majesty do this? We will start paying taxes in ten years, for fifty years, and pay a certain amount each year, and after fifty years, we will no longer pay taxes in this territory. Rather, when they are exported to other kingdoms through the purchase and sale of trade goods, how about being collected by the new blue tax as a tax?"/p
"It makes sense. Lan Zhenting was said to be moved, no matter how you look at the kingdom, it will not suffer, even if it can't collect any taxes, it's just like now, and it also saves the state a nursing expense. /p
"Your Majesty, this is a good and harmless thing, Wei Chen can't think of any reason for you to refuse?" Chu Lingyu continued to tempt. /p
"Okay, then it's decided, how about 50,000 gold horns a year for fifty years of taxation?" Lan Zhenting said briskly. To know the development of this land a few years later, he regretted stomping his feet, regretting that he had underestimated the benefits of this land. /p
"Thank you, Your Majesty, then Your Majesty, do we also want to discuss the payment method of this money?" Chu Lingyu said with a smile like a little fox. /p
"What? Didn't you take out 1 million gold horns and buy it?" Lan Zhenting said suspiciously. /p
"Your Majesty, you think too highly of Weichen, where do I have 1 million golden horns? If I have, wouldn't it be better to buy a wide land in the outer city, and then put a few acres of thin fields outside the city, and live in comfort?"
"Then what are you going to do?" Lan Zhenting began to walk at his pace. /p
"Pay in installments. Chu Lingyu spat out a new term that the king had never heard before. "That's right, Your Majesty. I pay 100,000 a year for 10 years. Isn't it great to pay an additional 10,000 yuan a year as interest except for the first year, which can alleviate the difficulty of not being able to take out so much money at once, and also enable the country to get an additional 90,000 yuan?" /p
"Hehe, Your Majesty also knows that I will practice some potions, if these potions are rationed to our army, the combat power will inevitably increase significantly, if Your Majesty is willing to replace the first year's land payment with medicines, I am willing to pay at a price of 80% off the market price, depending on Your Majesty's will. Chu Lingyu threw out another big temptation. /p
Because the medicine is not easy to refine, the price is very high, especially the medicine for healing wounds is in great demand in the army, the normal 100,000 gold horn can buy 1 million bottles of low-grade medicine or 300,000 intermediate medicine or 100,000 bottles of high-grade medicine, and it will all be consumed in a war. /p
"Hehehe, that's good, just pay the bill with what you said, use the potion!" Lan Zhenting said happily, with these potions, our casualties will be much less, and we will slowly become stronger. /p
"Please send someone to give Wei Chen the name and quantity of the potion needed, and pay the first installment with the potion this year. Chu Lingyu achieved his goal, and said with a smile: "I forgot to explain to Your Majesty that Weichen only delivers high-grade medicines, and the master does not allow me to sell medicines below high-grade grades, there is no problem with this, right?"
"Of course that's not a problem!" /p
Then Weichen retired. ”/p
The next day, he signed the sale and purchase documents, and clearly wrote the terms discussed between Chu Lingyu and Lan Zhenting into the documents, and after he delivered the medicine, this land would belong to him. So Chu Lingyu took a month's leave and began to frantically refine the medicine, except for the 100 bottles that must be given to Hui Tong every month, the rest of the various medicines are mainly paid for the bills, so that with the efforts of more than ten days, 1500 bottles of body refining elixir, 3000 bottles of debridement elixir, 3000 bottles of gas-enhancing elixir, 2000 bottles of antidote and 2500 bottles of Tongmai elixir were delivered, which should be regarded as a deposit of 10,000 gold horns in advance, which is still a lot worse than the 100,000 yuan owed this year, if only there was a helper. It's still necessary to make money as soon as possible or find a way to mass-produce the potion, and now there is no way to invest too much energy in research, so let's wait a while. /p
