Chapter 497: The Eight Directions Come to the Dynasty (Part II)

Fifty years is not suitable for human beings and all life. Here's the answer for a few people.

After listening, the Flame Emperor is okay, it's not the first time he's heard of nuclear bombs, Zhang Zheng did it once a few years ago, that place is now dead silent, even animals won't set foot on it, many plants that were only affected at that time, and didn't die for a long time in the later time, all died slowly.

In the past few years, he has been to the scene several times, and every time he goes, he can't help but feel chills in his heart.

And the Empress and the Iron Emperor were not so calm.

As soon as Zhang Zheng finished speaking, the Iron Blood Emperor exclaimed in a low voice

"What, that weapon is so domineering? It's not enough to destroy everything in an instant, it can affect fifty years ago, it's terrifying, right?"

The empress was palpitating and puzzled at the same time

"City Lord Zhang, I don't understand, since the territory laid down with this weapon cannot be occupied, what is the use of such weapons?

Listening to the empress's question, Zhang Zheng was silent for a moment, and then smiled, for this world, the nuclear bomb is really like what the empress said, it has no effect except killing people, and the bombed place has almost no use value, what is the purpose of the war, isn't it just to expand the territory, but what is the use of the territory that cannot live and cannot create wealth, no matter how large the area is?

After thinking about it, Zhang Zheng explained

"I think Your Majesty misunderstood, in fact, the role of the nuclear bomb is not to explode everywhere, it is a strategic weapon, a kind of powerful weapon to calm the country, and its main role is to stabilize the national system and appease the people. ”

"Stabilize the national system and reassure the people"

After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, the three of them recalled these words, and after a while, the three of them nodded at the same time and agreed

"I see, this weapon does deserve the title of the great weapon of the town. ”

After speaking, the Flame Emperor began to shine brightly, Zhang is the person of his Flame Empire, Zhenguo, isn't it his Flame Empire, the power of the nuclear bomb has been seen all, he believes that after the battle of Zhang Zheng's Temple, now looking at the entire Brilliant Continent, absolutely no country dares to come to him to argue.

The town is not only the country, but also the enemy country!

It can be seen from the visit of the Iron and Blood Emperor that the surrounding countries are afraid, at this moment, the Flame Emperor is full of spirits, there is a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and he can't help but straighten his waist, and the domineering on his body is getting stronger and stronger.

From now on, in this glorious continent, the Flame Empire will be the most powerful nation, and he, the Flame Emperor, will be the greatest emperor, and everyone else, including the lords of the other two countries, will all depend on his face.

Defy?

Hmph, the emperor will destroy you with a finger.

Thinking of this, the Flame Emperor was full of pride, but when he saw Zhang Zheng sitting at the end, the pride in his heart suddenly felt like cold water had been poured on his head, and he instantly withered a lot.

In the final analysis, he is also a fox and a fake tiger, the young man below is the most terrifying existence in the entire Brilliant Continent, if he wants to rule the world, he must first find a way to get Zhang Zheng's support, without his support, everything is empty talk.

No, the Flame Empire has finally reached its current status, and it is necessary to tie him and Tianxin City firmly to his chariot, no matter how big the cost is, it will not hesitate.

The Flame Emperor quietly clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

When an emperor, who doesn't want his country to become a unique and powerful empire in the world, who doesn't want his country to become the hegemon of the world, however, if he wants to do this, his strength alone is obviously not enough, and Zhang Zheng let him see the dawn of hope, no, Zhang Zheng gave him more than just the dawn, Zhang Zheng has paved a way for the Flame Empire, as long as he steps on it, with the east wind, the realization of his ideal is just around the corner.

The Flame Emperor made his own little calculations, the Empress and the Iron Blood Emperor were not idle, the two also had their own thoughts, compared to the Flame Emperor, their conditions were much worse, the Empress was a little better, she had several contacts with Zhang Zheng, and the two sides were acquaintances, even friends.

With this level of relationship, it will be much more convenient to cooperate in the future, but if you want to keep up with the footsteps of the Flame Empire, I am afraid that the relationship with friends alone may not be enough, and if you want to get Zhang Zheng's full support, I am afraid that the relationship will have to be closer.

Thinking of this, the empress secretly looked at herself a few times, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, not knowing if she was a person with enough money to win over.

In comparison, the most disturbing thing is the Iron Blood Emperor, what does he want, it doesn't matter, the second has no capital, he doesn't know where to start if he wants to win over Zhang Zheng, this time he came to the Flame Empire to pretend to be a grandson, especially after seeing the Flame Emperor's villainous face, it made him even more unhappy.

Originally, he wanted to leave the Flame Emperor and contact Zhang Zheng directly, but he was afraid that if the Flame Emperor knew about it, he would provoke his revenge, after all, he was not sure about the relationship between the Flame Emperor and Zhang Zheng before he came, in case Zhang Zheng obediently gave him a few nuclear bombs for the Iron-Blooded Empire, he couldn't cry at that time, and the bloody example of the temple was there, he didn't dare to take the risk.

Facts have proved that now it seems that his decision was right, judging from Zhang Zheng's attitude towards the Flame Emperor, the Flame Emperor cannot be provoked.

Since you can't provoke it, you can only pretend to be a grandson, and the Iron and Blood Emperor is so bitter in his heart that he can't do it.

After saying that, Tianxin City intends to carry forward the knowledge they have, this is a good opportunity, no matter what, they must seize it, but they can't let the Flame Empire be predominant.

The three bigwigs had their own thoughts, and Zhang Zheng secretly observed the three of them below, and at the same time laughed secretly in his heart, it seemed that he had dropped the nuclear bomb right this time. The three of them already had an idea, and the next thing to do was for them to put it into practice.

Struggle, compete, what are the requirements, what needs to be mentioned, don't give me face!!

Zhang Zheng laughed secretly a few times and decided to push again,

"I don't know what else is going on with the three Majesties? If it's okay, the lower official wants to retire first. ”

The Flame Emperor was suspicious

"City Lord Zhang, the banquet is not over yet, why are you in a hurry to leave?

Zhang Zheng nodded and replied helplessly

"Back to Your Majesty, Xia Guan doesn't want to leave, but helplessly, now is the time for the rapid development of Tianxin City, Xia Guan, as the city lord of Tianxin City, naturally has many things to do personally, and ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng showed a look of embarrassment

"Moreover, after the battle just experienced, Xiaguan's pockets are now about to be emptied, so I have to hurry back and find a way to get some money, otherwise, Xiaguan's group of soldiers will not be able to open the pot. ”

After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, the three of them smiled, no one took it seriously, but when they heard Zhang Zheng say that they would find a way to get some money, this attracted the attention of the three of them, and the Flame Emperor immediately asked curiously

"It turns out that the city lord Zhang is for money, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask, the emperor is very curious, I don't know how the city lord Zhang returned to Tianxin City to get a large amount of money, the emperor knows that the money needed to support such a special city as Tianxin City is not a small amount. ”

After the Flame Emperor finished speaking, Zhang Zheng's face showed embarrassment, as if there were some words that were difficult to speak, and his expression hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind

"To tell you the truth, Tianxin City is currently in a stage of high-speed development, and the money needed is simply astronomical, and the tax revenue in the city alone cannot solve the financial pressure, and there is no good way for the lower officials, the only way is to go overseas to make money. ”

"Overseas?"

"Do you have a lot of money overseas?"

The three of them pricked up their ears at the same time, feeling that they had just learned an amazing secret, and the Flame Emperor asked while the iron was hot.

Speaking of money, Zhang Zheng was immediately interested, and stood up directly excitedly, first slapped his thigh, and then looked at the threesome with excitement on his face

"Of course there are many, Your Majesty doesn't know, don't say anything else, take the Goddess of Nature Continent as an example, there are beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and more importantly, the industrial level over there is very poor, the most ordinary commodities on our side, when you get there, they are all luxuries, not to mention the price, not to mention that it is not enough to sell, a shipload of goods, it will be gone ashore. And there are some things that we don't have here, and naturally they are also rare, and the price is also gratifying. ”

"This is just normal business, not counting all kinds of minerals, what gold, silver, copper and iron, their technology is not related, they can't mine it at all, especially the Dark Continent, although the environment is not good, but because of its unique environment, precious metals and minerals are simply everywhere, and those are all money. ”

"Finally, there is a piece of extreme southern land, which is located in the southernmost part of the world, and it is also the edge of the world, which is icy and snowy all year round, and no one has been there for the time being, and it must be equally rich in resources. The lower officials are going to send someone over to take a look in a few years. ”

After speaking, Zhang Zheng looked at the three of them quietly, and the three of them were also looking at him, all with yearning in their eyes, who doesn't want money, why don't you use money. Since Zhang Zheng came back from the first time he went to sea, they knew that this world was very big, and on the other side of the sea far away from the glorious continent, there were many different scenery and people, but they didn't expect that there would be so much money over there, no wonder Zhang Zheng couldn't wait to go back, if it was them, they were also anxious.

Moreover, they are more anxious than Zhang Zheng, because Zhang Zheng has the ability to run around the world now, but they can only watch with envy from the sidelines.

Listening to what Zhang Zheng said, overseas is not only rich, but also full of gold mountains, how can this kind of good thing be monopolized by him, and he has to share a piece of the pie to say anything, and the faster the better, the longer it drags on, the greater the loss, but the big ship is needed to go to sea, where does it come from, at the same time, the three of them thought of the drawings of the sea ship announced by Zhang Zheng before.

That kind of wooden big ship can indeed sail, but the disadvantages are too great, one is the limited carrying capacity, the other is not very strong, it is easy to destroy the ship, some time ago, the glorious continent blew a burst of sea fever, the three empires have sent fleets to the sea, but less than two percent can come back, the others are either buried in the sea or hung up in the fight with those monsters on the dark continent.

It can be said that the losses are heavy, although the returning ship did bring back a lot of valuable things, but the three bigwigs felt that the effort was not proportional to the gain, and since then they have not launched similar actions. Only those warriors who are not afraid of death are still moving forward.

If the three of them don't do it, it doesn't mean that they don't want to do it, it's just that they can't find the right tools, and they are not Zhang Zheng, they are steel ships bigger than mountains at every turn, and there are warships with powerful firepower to escort them, if they have such powerful equipment, they will go every day.

Now, they could only look at it with envy, and at this moment, the Flame Emperor suddenly looked at Zhang Zheng, and his eyes were shining

"This emperor thinks that it is not very wise for you to go to sea now, Tianxin City is now the time when you are needed, can you leave easily? Aren't you short of money, do you think this will work, or you sell a batch of iron ships to the country, won't this solve your problem perfectly?"

After speaking, the Flame Emperor was afraid that Zhang Zheng would refuse, so he hurriedly added

"Don't worry, the emperor doesn't have high requirements, he doesn't need a warship with strong firepower, he only needs the cargo ships you sell to those merchants, of course, you still can't save the defensive weapons for self-protection, you have them on those merchant ships"

Hearing what the Flame Emperor said, Zhang Zheng showed a very excited look, pretending to think about it seriously, but the Empress and the Iron Blood Emperor on the side were bright-eyed, just now the Flame Emperor gave them a wake-up call, and almost forgot, the person in front of him has everything, no boat, just ask him to buy it.

Immediately, the two also expressed their desire to buy, at this time Zhang Zheng also thought about it, nodded and agreed to the deal, the three of them were overjoyed, and each person ordered more than a dozen on the spot, each of which was at the level of 100,000 tons, with a total price of tens of billions.

Then, Zhang Zheng took advantage of the situation to put forward his own request, which cannot be said to be a request, he mainly thought about the three of them.

"Three Your Majesty, the ship is actually just a trivial matter, the important thing is the port, you think, there must be a place to dock with a ship, and another one, the ship is so big, if a dozen large ships are full of goods, the general small port can not solve it at all, after the goods are landed, there are also supporting transportation routes, such as roads, railways, cars, trains and even airplanes, and so on......"

"Also, everyone has begun to go to sea, and the exchanges with overseas will only become more and more frequent in the future, and it won't be long before the people on our side will go there, and the people over there will also come, not only limited to the official, but more importantly, to promote people-to-people exchanges, think about it, if there are tens of thousands of ships of all sizes shuttling between major countries every day in the future, how big a port should the empire need to complete such a busy task?"

Next, Zhang Zheng tried his best to paint an extraordinary and prosperous scene for the three of them, and the three of them were dry-mouthed, and asked Zhang Zheng the following, from the banquet to the study, from noon to dark, until late at night, a few people dispersed.
