Chapter 869: Negotiation
Some people may think that it is not possible to take out 400 million gold coins and build another academy?
It's really not good, the things in the academy are all accumulated little by little, and if you spend money directly, it's not possible. Xia He himself has some things from the Dao Palace, as well as a large number of inheritances from the Taiyin Immortal Mansion, and his understanding of magic is quite systematic and profound.
People like him are not often seen in the empire.
A lot of this knowledge was put in a fantasy world, transmitted to students one-to-one, and was not printed into a book.
There is a bit of a door used inside, which is not enough for outsiders.
The professors of Asla Academy, Xia He are carefully selected and taught by hand, and there are also Taoist priests who make cameos to meet the needs.
Xia He's earliest seventy-two disciples were all successful, and none of them disappointed him.
These students are all good professors.
Although Xia He has been letting them train hard, most of the work at hand is still research. Accumulation, whether it is a magician or a Taoist, must continue to accumulate to make his own heritage more and more profound.
Xia He has been asking students like this, and has been accumulating his own heritage.
First-rate mages do research, second-rate mages go to battle, and third-rate mages do coolies.
No matter how many mages there are, under Xia He's hands, as long as they are core members, they have to keep learning. Under the nine colleges, the faculty of the dukedom is the strongest. So Xia He had the courage to ask for 400 million gold coins, and blatantly said that he didn't plan to pay it back.
The battle with Duke Jesu was at a stalemate, Duke Jesu was not a soft persimmon, and Snowvis's army didn't want too many casualties.
Xia He is not in a hurry, there is more important matter at hand now, that is, the construction of the Tenth Magic Academy.
There is a precedent for Asra Academy, and the territory of the Tenth Academy of Magic itself is large and good, and everything is not a problem. Now the northern nobles are all standing on the same front with the duke, and the original northern nobles have also been disabled, and Her Royal Highness the princess has been continuously corroded over the years and has become powerless to resist.
Xiahe can happily recruit students without worrying about anyone obstructing him.
However, there was nothing to say about the college, the lecturers and professors were dismissed, people were transferred from their own colleges, and some students were also dissuaded or transferred to other places. Xia He said a word, and no one could object.
Of course, all his subordinates were fired, and it was useless to oppose them.
It's really not good, Xia He can even do not want any students and start again.
However, some professors and lecturers, Xia He will be hired for the second time, and this time the collective dismissal is because Xia He is too lazy to say anything one by one. If you don't want you, you don't want you, and your own people won't have any grudges.
Everyone knows that the Duke is a person, and he has always been not mean to his family.
Even the people who were fired had enough money in their hands.
The princess and the prince of the county both sent a large number of people to the academy, and Xia He also sent Xia Ye to prepare for takeoff. The floating city of Xia He said that there is one biggest problem for him to fly in a year, and that is the heart of the Titans.
This requires a very, very powerful cultivation vessel, and Xia He will not make a Titan, but only a heart. The technology in this is not a problem, about the Titan, Daomen has also studied, it is something like a natural god, it is very, very powerful, if it is really created, even if there is no soul, Xia He can't control it.
The manufacture of this heart will cost tens of millions of gold coins and materials, and this is still under the condition that Xia He himself has the technology at hand and will not take a detour. If you study it from scratch, 400 million gold coins will not be enough.
Xia He also plans to create a species, that is, the elves' favorite tree of life and the ancient tree of war, these two things are not unique to the elves, but the elves like them the most.
He was in the Demon Worm Forest outside the mountain pass, and he was going to build a city, and around the rift, he planned to plant the War Ancient Tree. The city should look natural and harmonious, full of greenery. Since there are species specimens, Xia He did this by the way.
A few days after the war, Snowvis personally went to the New World to find Xia He.
Seeing Xiahe's Tower of Babel, Snowvis said enviously: "Asla, you are very powerful now, with this technology, how about helping me build one?"
Xia Hedao: "What do you want this thing for?"
"It's comfortable to look at in your own city. β
"Come on, His Royal Highness the King of the County, what are you running here for?"
"The matter on Duke Zhesu's side, I'm wondering, should I be ruthless, this kind of play now, there will be no progress in a few years, it's just consuming money every day. β
"Be ruthless, don't you care about the casualties of ordinary people?"
"I had this idea. Snowvis said seriously.
Xia He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I understand, science and technology world, you think I didn't help, I am not willing to suffer, and I want to find it back on Duke Zhesu's side, right." β
"How is it possible, Duke Zhesu's territory, I don't want a piece, it's all yours. β
"He still has a lot of worlds in his hands, don't you want it?"
"Asla, you see, I have dispatched millions of people this time, and the cost is not small. "Snowvis didn't look embarrassed, and he came up to hook up with Xia He.
Thinking of his nickname, Xia He hurriedly pushed him away and said, "This is not good, if you don't care about casualties, I don't need you to get Duke Zhesu done." β
"War, how can there be immortals?"
"Your Highness, you are the royal family, and this country is nominally your family's. These ordinary people are also your people. They also have to pay taxes, so how can they sacrifice casually?"
Snowvis was speechless, and Xia Daodao: "Duke Zhesu is relatively poor, and there won't be a lot of the world at hand." β
"I'll help you fight, can't you have both?"
"I'll help you fight the tech world, and I don't have to divide half of it. β
"I didn't say I wanted half of it!"
"In case Duke Zhesu only has two worlds, if you divide one, it will be half, and if you divide two, it will be all. β
Snowvis said angrily: "Don't be so stingy, my million-strong army eats and drinks a lot of money every day!"
"Don't be like this, let's be reasonable. The reason why I want to fight Duke Zhesu is because he doesn't listen to me, and his territory is too close to me. In the future, after the battle is defeated, this place will definitely be occupied in its entirety, as a buffer zone between Rhodes Island and the mainland, and it will be impossible for other nobles to attack from this side of the strait. β
"I'm not going to hit you. β
"Then what do you want that place for? β
"Didn't I say that I don't want the territory of this world. β
"It's not the same, the world occupied by Duke Zhesu, the passage will be opened in this land, and the cost of opening it will be very high. β
"You still can't trust me. β
"Your Highness, the friendship between the two of us should not have said such things. The problem is that you are a royal family, and I can trust you personally, but what about your subordinates?
"Yes, but who dares?"
"You're much simpler than your sister. Xia He sighed.
"She's just simple, I've heard that she was cheated out of 400 million gold coins by you, is there such a thing?"
Xia He didn't blush, and said: "In this way, you help me fight Duke Zhesu, next time I will help you fight other nobles, the entire empire is in the civil war, and there are still many things to do." β
"No, I want an extra benefit. "Snowvis didn't give up.
"Okay, okay, what do you want?"
"I see that your army is well trained and well equipped, so why don't we?"
"Unified equipment? I really want to, but you're at a loss. β
"I know that the royal family also has a unique equipment system, but I still like you. Unified equipment, I may ask for some of your skills, but I guarantee that you will not suffer, some of the technologies you don't sell, I will buy products directly from you, this is the strongest alliance. β
"Then you have to take two paths, and the cost will be high. β
"Anyway, I want to unify the technology with you, and I will not give up other technologies, but I will only carry out technology accumulation and reserves, and will not do a lot of verification work. β
Xia He suddenly understood that Snowvis was not naΓ―ve, he didn't have any desire for the throne, even if his sister wasn't chosen, he wouldn't be in the mood to fight with others.
If he forms an alliance with himself, in the future disputes within the royal family, in addition to his sister, he has his own backup, and it is impossible for him not to save it.
And he is royal, and he can only ally with him, and it is impossible to annex it.
The territory of the royal family, only the royal family can occupy, and the nobles to occupy it is tantamount to rebellion. Well, the royal family has never had a sense of existence, but in fact, the level of strength is not lower than that of the nine magic academies.
"Then you think clearly, Angelina, she won't unify her technology with my army. β
"Sister is sister, I am me. Seeing that Xia He understood, Snowvis said calmly.
"Okay, you help me take down Duke Zhesu's territory, in addition to helping you fight others, I will also provide skills, help you complete the army's equipment replacement, and I will also provide various training. β
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Money can solve problems, never problems. β
"I don't want money, I want resources. β
"Resources: You occupy such a large land in the New World, and there are a lot of minerals on it, do you still need resources?"
"The scale of the war has expanded, I can't sit back and eat, I need some supplies, the list is for you, you can convert the price yourself, and then send it to Rhode Island. β
"Well, you just cheated my sister out of 400 million gold coins, and it doesn't look like you need money. β
"Your Highness, you can stay for a few days, let's discuss the matter of unifying the army standards, I can use some techniques for you, but some can't. And I'll have a secret weapon that can't be published, don't think I'm lying to you. β
Snowvis stayed at the Tower of Babel, and Xia He showed him a list of the techniques he could provide.
Snowvis chose a lot of things that he needed and could execute, and he finally provided a sum of money for Xia He to expand the Phantom Array Training Center in Daliang City for his army. It's not that he doesn't want to build it himself, but the technology in it, Xia He will not let go.
With his technology to build, the cost is again unaffordable for him.
