Although it was not the first time he had visited Chen Yi's office, Iyar Koo was still curious about the room with floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides. [Full text reading]

When viewed from the outside, this huge eye-popping glass is a reflective mirror, but when viewed from the inside, the beautiful Xijiang River has an unobstructed view.

The vast surface of the river is covered with plain white waves, the green trees on both sides of the river are green and melodious, and the fish and dolphins in the river occasionally jump up and spray water, forming a beautiful picture.

The setting in the room is also from the hands of famous masters, Huā took a lot of effort from Yu Weichao, and the chief priest of Iyar especially likes the new Eight Immortals Table, and praises it when he opens his mouth: "Since Your Excellency the Divine Knight came here, this place has simply become a temple on earth. Pretty, so pretty. ”。

He stroked the carver on the table of the Eight Immortals with his hand, and nodded his head twice from time to time. The knight has a stable hand, and the carved things are also full of craftsmanship, which is not as good as the literary and artistic youth who pursues art. The workmanship of this new Eight Immortals Table is exquisite, and the materials are thousands of years old, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a waste, and the furniture created from this is graceful and luxurious, which is most in line with the aesthetics of the priests.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Yi smiled and said, "If the Lord Priest doesn't dislike it, this set of tables and chairs will be given to you." ”

"That's okay."

"You can adhere to the principles and responsibly maintain the sanctity of the contract, what is a set of tables and chairs, a real gift, I haven't taken it out yet."

The priest of Iyar was pleasantly surprised, and said that he did not dare.

Chen Yi laughed, patted Huahua's shoulder cordially, and said, "From today onwards, I am ready to give you a five-ten-thousandth percentage of all the materials sold to the temple, which is equivalent to your shareholding in my Chen family."

I don't have a contract for you, though. ”

The magic knight has a promise, why do you need a contract.

The priest of Iyar was overjoyed, and said with a dry mouth: "Your Excellency Chen Yi's words are more true than the contract, how can you sign it." It's 5 out of 10,000, which seems to be a little more. ”

Aren't today's temple materials the same materials in the Temple War? It was a racial scuffle of tens of millions of people. And that's not counting the servant armies and mercenaries of those barbarian tribes, as well as the numerous transport logistics troops. With the amazing production capacity of the Xijiang city-state, what kind of rich man does a 5/10,000 commission mean?

The priest of Iyar was stunned, wanting but not daring to ask for it.

Chen Yi pretended not to see his gaffe, and said with a smile: "It's best if you can understand." We have been friends for a long time, and five ten-thousandths is nothing, as long as the Iyar Priest can continue to maintain the sanctity of the contract and safeguard the interests of both of us, I will not lose five ten-thousandths.

In fact, even if he didn't give Iyaar a penny to the priest, because of the superiority of power, Iyar would not dare to be slow for a while. But he can't just look at the present, the situation of material crunch is caused by a twofold structure, the influx of materials from the earth has just begun, and the temple war is not over yet.

There is a change in the twofold structure, and now the seller's market will change, at that time, if you want to win over a temple sacrifice, Huā's money is only a lot more, and Chen Yi needs to win over a temple sacrifice after all, and if you choose Iyar, you can make profits for the Chen family from now on.

At the same time, it also put an end to the attempts of other families, including the Chen family, to get involved in the power of the Western Continent. Chen Yi doesn't mind that they make money in the Western Continent, this is the best way to unite people's hearts, but he will not give up the political power of the Western Continent in a short period of time.

A temptation like Zhang Jing's is exactly what he wants to crack down on.

All religions can share weal and woe but not prosperity, and Iyar's success as a presiding priest is absolutely bad, just like other religious figures and politicians.

He didn't dare to get money from Chen Yi before, which doesn't mean that he doesn't have a hobby in this area.

A more realistic reason is that he needs to sit down in his current position first.

When he sat down in this position, if Chen Yi didn't give him the benefits, Iyar would definitely have an opinion in his heart. And I will definitely try to bring it up in every possible way.

Instead of that, it's better to move from reactive to proactive.

The Priest of Iyar was almost happy to find the north, and reassured Chen Yi of gratitude: "Accepting the care of Your Excellency, I will do my best to protect your interests." ”

This sentence can be called red luǒluǒ, but it is exactly what Chen Yi wants.

He is defending the interests of Chen Yi, not the Chen family, not the Chen family, not the earth, not the temple.

Chen Yi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup, moistened his thirsty throat, and said, "From this time the spear of the magic knight, the price is still according to the original agreed price." ”

The spear earns a long-term income, with high profits and low gross profits, but what Chen Yi promised was gross profits, so the priest of Iyar didn't care at all, and instead contributed: "Actually, I know that there is a merchant surnamed Liu in your Xijiang city-state who is talking to the speaker of the Mara City Senate about medicine, Gasayeh. ”

"Medicine?"

"It's called an antibiotic, and it is said that if you take three pills, you can save a soldier's life."

Oral penicillin.

Chen Yi suddenly came to his senses.

He used to think that penicillin injections were too troublesome, not only because bottles and cans were difficult to transport, but also because users needed to have a certain amount of medical knowledge. But thinking about it another way, why should the natives of the Western Continent use injectable penicillin at all, the dose of oral penicillin is large enough.

As for allergies and other issues, it is not a big problem for a foreign continent where human life is not valuable. With a little attention, soldiers who are easily infected and die are still willing to take antibiotics.

"How many do they order? The little "aristocrats are still experimenting." However, I heard that they prepared 10 large boxes and gave them to the Heno of the 1st Cavalry Regiment.

"yes, I see." Chen Yi's expression was indifferent.

Iyaar seemed to feel that he had not been able to wield it, and said, "Your Excellency the Divine Knight, although I can't decide what kind of medicine the nobles buy, if it is really useful, I can buy it in the name of the Water Dragon Temple......"

Antibiotics in the Cold Weapon War are extremely useful, and medicine products are also a very profitable business, but Chen Yi said with a smile: "Forget it, it's not easy to produce antibiotics, let them do it first."

He reorganized the Chen Group, sold the PC industry and the electronics industry, and bought a pharmaceutical company. However, the latter is mainly a biopharmaceutical company developed for the purpose of cloning mounts, which is not the same as a traditional medicine company. For example, in a war on the scale of the Western Continent, if you want to make money, you have to make batches of "medicine" products, and the Chen family has no strength in the health department, nor does it have production capacity, so instead of building from scratch to encroach on other people's territory, it is better to save energy and focus on the key points.

You have to let someone else earn something.

Equalization of interests is the main principle of maintaining the body nose, and the Liu family has thought of it. The idea of taking antibiotics, then you are eligible to make this money.

There was no effect, which made the priest of Iyar a little restless.

Before he spoke again, Chen Yi got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, and said with a smile: "Priest, look at the scene outside." ”

Iyar was inexplicable, looking at the surging river, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful!" ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "If you can let the Xijiang River extend in." That's even better. ”

"Derivative?"

"Expand the Xijiang Wharf all the way to the location of the former Yun Village." Chen Yi stretched out his arm, he had this plan, and it was not a day or two.

Even with the current train transportation, it is difficult to exceed the standard of 400,000 tons of materials per month, which is already twice the previous volume.

But if it is replaced by water transportation, the capacity can be increased by more than 10 times.

The ocean is the best gift that mankind can get. As early as 1999, 900 million tonnes of goods were transported by sea in the world. As for the self-righteous airlift of mankind, Truman in 1948 used the power of the whole country, or rather, the power of NATO to complete the first feat in human history, and the air aid to West Berlin only maintained the livelihood of 2 million people.

However, the problem of water transport is also obvious, that is, there must be suitable geographical conditions. The water depth of berths above 10,000 tons is often at the level of five or six meters, or even 10 meters. This means not only that the landing ground must be 10 metres deep, but that at least one waterway is deeper than it.

This kind of natural condition is not possessed by the Xijiang city-state itself, but it is possible to achieve it if it is dredged and transformed.

The Xijiang waterway in front of you is a large inland river that is wider than the Amazon.

Its water is so abundant that if a waterway can be dug directly to Yuncun, the freighter coming out of the subway passage will be equivalent to mooring on the extension of the Xijiang wharf.

And, of course, there is the issue of boating in the subway passage.

on this. Chen Yi's solution is very simple: the floor is lubricated, and the front is covered with a magic knight plus a power scroll, pull!

The land boat is not Chen Yi's creation. Historically, in order to capture the impregnable Constantinople, the Turkish king Mehmed II used thick wooden planks to make a ship trough, coated it with beef and sheep fat, and hauled 80 warships to the Golden Horn at the other end of the city wall in one night, thus giving modern Turkey the historical city of Istanbul.

The Wizards are not inferior to the Ship Motivation in terms of strength, and the only thing to consider is how to convince a large number of Wizards to be Slender Men with peace of mind.

Once the waterway is built, the need for a magic knight is not one or two, just a day or two.

Iyar was thinking about the sheer volume of the waterway, how much earth would have to be dug up for the nearly 10-kilometer long to be able to sail the boat.

He didn't know that what Chen Yi wanted to pass through was a giant ship that was dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters deep, otherwise he would definitely not want to think about it.

However, this was Chen Yi's first formal request, and Iyar had no intention of refusing, only saying: "With the ability of Mara City, I am afraid that such a project will be weak." Perhaps, we will dig two kilometers of waterways first, so that we can park one more boat. ”

The last ship he was talking about was a river boat of several tons.

Chen Yi laughed and said, "Lord Priest, I have seen the map of the Western Continent you drawn. If you follow the Xijiang River into the sea, cross the strait, and reach the temple battlefield, the sea distance is more than five times closer than that of land transportation. As long as the temple is willing to dig the waterway, I will build and buy the ship, and they will be free of shipping for a year. ”

"There are giant beasts in the sea, and you have to have a magic knight to cross the strait, this"

"I'll provide the Magic Knight as well."

Without any further hesitation, the Priest of Iyar patted Xiōng and said, "I must report to the High Priest of the Temple as it is." ”

"Before we do that, I have to ask you to explain to Mara City and the surrounding city-states, and ask them to agree to our construction."

"It's a good thing, how can anyone disagree."

"I'm afraid it's going to be noisy." Chen Yi meant something.

Thinking that he was talking about a large number of slaves, Iyar agreed: "Then I will go on a trip myself, and I will not let people talk nonsense." ”

Expanding the docks means selling more goods, and His Excellency the Celebrant is also enthusiastic. @。
