Chapter 30 Balance of Interests

The final conclusion that everyone gave Xu Yi was that this son was mercenary and insatiable. But no one reprimanded him, and many of the nine patriarchs nodded secretly. The reason why the nine major clans coveted the new thing of explosives was actually clear about what was behind it.

One is that this thing is very powerful, the weapon is strong, and the use of the spirit is even more powerful, if the nine major clans can hold this thing, the power will be more stable. The Duan clan, the Huang clan, and the Chang clan tried their best to share it with the nine clans, because they were worried that once the Li clan swallowed this thing alone, the Li clan would be even more powerful, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to catch up.

Second, if this thing is a sharp weapon, it is bound to be used in large quantities in the army, which has always represented huge interests, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. For the sake of momentum and wealth, there will be a farce just now. It's just that they didn't expect Xu Yi to expose it for profit, and he said it in a high-sounding way.

Cheng Yi also nodded secretly, but thought in his heart: "Although this son is insatiable, he doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about power, he and the third brother seem to be close, or they can make friends." ”

Li Yan touched his nose and smiled: "Village Chief Xu, your idea is inevitably too greedy. ”

Xu Yi said with a straight face: "Lord County Guard's words are wrong, greed is the driving force for our human race to move forward, if everyone has no greed and is content with the status quo, when will we be able to counterattack the Sand Demon Man? Moreover, in Donghai County, if there are a few more people like me who are willing to work hard to create new things, I am afraid that it will not be long before we can kill the enchantment, I think that our human race is this kind of measure to encourage innovation!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a while, but they couldn't seem to find a way to refute Xu Yi's words. ”

Xu Yi continued: "I am not the only gold-based spirit in Donghai County, and there are countless gold-based spirits who can use alchemy to refine minerals, but why am I the only one who created this thing? If the Magistrate could issue a patent decree to protect the interests of those who innovated, I think that in the future, our human race will surely set off a wave of creating new things. Regardless of whether the new creation can be used for armament or civil affairs, in short, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. That's why I want royalties and transfer fees, which are called profit-driven, and it's all for the sake of the future of our human race!"

Luo Ming secretly held his forehead, only thinking that Xu Yi was too shameless, obviously he was insatiable, but he was so quibbled by him, as if he was selfless and for the good of everyone.

Unexpectedly, after everyone heard this, except for Li Xiang, who scolded Xu Yi for being shameless in his heart, like Luo Ming, the rest of the old and serious patriarchs fell into deep thought, and Cheng Chao muttered: "Profit-driven?"

Li Yan smiled and stroked his palms: "Okay, since what you said is reasonable, according to your request, for every pound of explosives made in the future, you will be divided into one dollar of patent fees, and you will be given another 100,000 yuan in transfer fees." ”

Xu Yi was overjoyed, and secretly laughed that people from other worlds don't understand the market, you must know that if this patent is given a transfer fee, it will be a one-time buyout, and if the patent fee is shared, you can't ask for a transfer fee.

Seeing Luo Ming looking at himself helplessly in the blink of an eye, Xu Yi was suddenly a little lost, what is the use of making so much money by himself? Even his wife has to follow the expedition, if anything happens to the expedition, who will leave such a large sum of money? Or hurry up and give birth to a son?

After a chaotic morning, there was finally a judgment on everything, and at that moment Li Yan announced that after lunch, he would invite Cheng Yi, Duan Fei, Huang Yan, Li Qian, Cheng Chao, and Xu Yi to talk about explosives in detail in the county guard's mansion.

Li Xiao held a banquet in the county guard mansion to entertain everyone, and everyone wanted to finish eating early, so they quickly listened to Xu Yi's introduction to the explosives, and they were all done hastily by eating. After the meal, Li Yu instructed Li Xiang to take Luo Ming to the house where Xu Yi was rewarded to settle down, and he left Xu Yi to discuss the matter of explosives.

Li Xiang didn't want to settle the house for the liar, but first, his father's life was difficult, and secondly, he finally met Luo Ming and had a common language, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Sister Luo, your man is really brazen. Li Xiang couldn't help but pout and complain when he left the gate of the county guard's mansion.

Luo Ming frowned slightly, although she was telling the truth, but after all, Xu Yi was her lifelong person, so he Luo Ming was also a little unhappy, and just said lightly at the moment: "Actually, what he said also has some truth." ”

Li Xiang sighed, looked sideways at Luo Ming and said with a smile: "Sister Luo, why haven't you seen you for more than ten days, and your tone has changed?

Luo Ming said angrily: "How can there be? I'm just telling the truth." After a pause, he said, "Actually, don't be angry with him anymore." The prescription he gave you last time was indeed made by him, but after you left, he thought of a more powerful recipe, not because he deliberately deceived you last time. ”

Li Xiang snorted and said, "I don't believe it, in just ten days, he can create such a powerful explosive, unless he has thought about it early in the morning." ”

Luo Ming spread his hands and said, "You don't believe it, wait for him to come back and ask him yourself." ”

The two girls talked about it, and when they came to the post house, Yin Xian, Jiao Za and the four Luohe villagers who carried Xu Yi to rest and wait in the post house.

Seeing Luo Ming coming back, several people greeted him. Luo Ming told the reward of the county guard's mansion, and Yin Xian, Jiao Za and the others all cheered.

Luo Ming selected some wealth from the gifts received along the way and rewarded them to the four villagers who carried Xu Yi, asking them to return to the village as soon as possible, so as not to delay the spring ploughing due to the family's busy farming. The four of them were enslaved by Xu Yi all the way, and finally got some benefits, and they went with a thousand thanks.

Then Luo Ming instructed Yin Xian and Jiao Za to bring some luggage, and then followed Luo Ming and the county guard to settle down in the rewarded mansion with the vegetable worms.

Out of the post house, walk through Baiyang Street, cross the Donghai Bridge, and walk two more streets, come to a block where big clans live, only to see this block, the street is wide, there is a small stream on the side of the street, two rows of big trees on the side of the road, at the end of a small stream meanders in, and finally joins the Donghai River in the city.

Everyone came to a house, only to see that here is between a row of green bamboos behind the stream, surrounded by a red wall, the wide bluestone arch bridge flies across the stream water, and there are unicorns, lions and other beasts on the stone railings, which look very mighty and very charming.

Walk across the stone bridge, an antique vermilion gate on the bluestone wall stands there, there is a side door on the left and right, the nine hundred and eighty-one copper ingots are inlaid on the vermilion lacquer gate in the middle, there is a pair of huge stone lion town houses on the left and right sides, a majestic momentum is coming.

Don't say Yin Xian and Jiao Zha, even Luo Ming opened his mouth wide, this mansion is too luxurious.

"This place was originally built by my father for my eldest brother to live in, but my eldest brother has been reluctant to move out and open a mansion alone, so it has been empty, so my father gave this place to Xu Yi. Li Xiang gagged her small mouth and finally whispered: "Father and eldest brother are really, such a good place was given to that villain." ”

Luo Ming heard it at the tip of her ear, but only smiled slightly, this girl's resentment is a little deep, but the bell must be tied to the bell, and she will only be separated from her when Xu Yi comes back.

Yin Xian and Jiao Za were very surprised, and they ran inside, and the vegetable worm was also very excited, and ran towards the vermilion gate.

Everyone walked into the vermilion gate, the eyes suddenly opened, the wide front yard, the main hall is wide, there are six wings on the left and right sides, the courtyard flower garden, strange mountains, fake stones, streams, ponds are dotted, all the buildings are antique mountain roofs, it is really worthy of the big mansion built by the family, it is really magnificent.

Yin Xian and Jiao Zha, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looked around curiously, and some seemed timid, they were really stunned by the luxury here, and they felt a little ashamed of themselves.

Luo Ming was better, and asked Li Xiang to introduce it around, knowing that this is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and there are a total of thirty-six rooms in the front yard, middle courtyard and back yard.

"With so many rooms, where can a few of us live so much?" Luo Ming exclaimed, but soon realized that she was wrong.

Before they could settle down, Xu Yi came back with a sad face, followed by Cheng Chao and a large group of people.

"Cheng Lao said that he didn't deal with his eldest brother, didn't want to go back to Cheng's house, and planned to live with us. Xu Yi gritted his teeth, this old man is here to take advantage.

Luo Ming immediately welcomed with both hands, but before he applauded a few times, he found that there were more than a dozen people behind him, both men and women.

"These are the Dongfu spirits sent by the county guard to learn how to make explosives from me, and they will also live here until they learn it. Xu Yi said with a sad face.

Luo Ming sighed, and before she could speak, she saw a man and a woman led by this group of people come forward to salute her, and the man said: "Huan Yi, the spirit of the East Mansion, the spirit of the gold system, this is the spirit of the water system of the East Mansion. ”

This Huan Yi is only in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome. And that Chang Ling is also a beauty embryo, with apricot eyes and moon eyebrows, but her face is like frost, and she looks cold. More than a dozen people behind them were also Dongfu spirits, and they came forward to salute each other and reported their names, there were too many people Luo Ming didn't remember for a while, only slowly got acquainted with it.

After a while, the house was lively. The spirit of the East Mansion was not polite, so they each went to the east and west compartments of the front yard to choose their own rooms and settle down. Cheng Chao unceremoniously slipped into the backyard and instructed Yin Xian and Jiao Za to put his luggage in the west wing of the backyard, opposite the east wing where Xu Yi and Luo Ming lived.

Li Xiang saw it, blinked and said to Xu Yi fiercely: "You deceived me last time, no matter how you explain it, I won't listen, I will also live with you this time, if I don't learn the art of explosives, I won't leave!" After that, he called a spirit man and ordered him to go back to get his luggage, so he honestly and unceremoniously went to the middle courtyard to choose a room.

Xu Yi's eyes widened, and he said to Luo Ming: "Daughter-in-law, what is this matter? Is the Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms?" Luo Ming pursed his lips and snickered: "Wouldn't you have taught them earlier?" Xu Yi sighed and said: "It seems that the 100,000 transfer fees and patent fees are not so easy to get." ”
