Chapter 180: The Establishment of Ximeng City
With the decisive victory on the Western Front, Qin Hao finally calmed down, and his main task next was to plan Ximeng City. For the construction of such a huge city, Qin Hao planned to let the craftsmen of Xicheng and the city lord of Xicheng come over to discuss, after all, he had no experience in this area.
It's just that Xicheng is too far away from Ximeng City, and it takes four years to fly non-stop, so the construction of the teleportation array is imperative. Although Yang Zi can build teleportation balls, she still doesn't have enough experience in building teleportation arrays.
So Yang Zi called Qu Ren Yan Yi to negotiate how to build a teleportation array, Yan Yi deserved to be a formation master, under his suggestion, a teleportation array was built soon, but the cost of construction was really amazing, a total of two billion high-grade spirit stones were spent. When Qin Hao heard this number, he couldn't help but drip blood in his heart. However, he knew that if he wanted to get rich and build roads first, if there was no advanced means of transportation, Ximeng would soon be forgotten.
Qin Hao now had nothing in his hands other than pills and weapons and equipment that seemed to have much attraction to cultivators, so he decided to do something new. Before, there were spirit beasts in the Jiang family on the earth, but now there is not much danger on the battlefield on the Western Front, so raising spirit beasts is simply the most ideal place.
In addition to spirit beasts, Qin Hao also planned to expand the sowing range of the elixir, so that there would be no worries about the lack of elixir at all.
In addition to the elixir, Qin Hao also thought of technology, and many people were not optimistic about this kind of thing, but Qin Hao believed that Yang Zi would do things well.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Two years later, the city lord and craftsmen of Xicheng rushed to Ximeng, and Qin Hao led a large group of people out of the city to greet him.
"Qin Hao led the people of Ximeng to meet the city lord of Xicheng and all the craftsmen, and then I hope that you will not be stingy with your ideas, and I thank you for coming on behalf of the people of Ximeng."
The city lord of Xicheng first congratulated Qin Hao and the Western Front Corps on the final victory of the decisive battle, and then motioned to Qin Hao to say his thoughts first for everyone's reference.
Qin Hao said: "Lord Xicheng, the construction of Ximeng is not something that can be said clearly in one or two sentences, let's talk about it slowly while eating!" I've already had the food and drinks ready, so please don't be polite. ”
"It's okay too!" The city lord of Xicheng smiled and motioned ahead to lead the way.
Qin Hao led the people into the city, and then came to the banquet and sat down in turn. Soon the wine and food were served, Qin Hao beckoned everyone to eat and drink well, and after the three rounds of wine, Qin Hao told the city lord of Xicheng and the craftsmen his thoughts.
After listening to Qin Hao's plan, the city lord of Xicheng gave his opinion and said: "Qin Dashuai, your idea is very good, our craftsmen will give you a more precise proposal after the specific planning, let me tell you my thoughts first:"
"First of all, since it is a city, there must be a gateway and a city wall, as the so-called gentleman is easy to defend, and villains are difficult to defend. Only in this way can those villains be afraid, otherwise who will apologize for the loss of the property of the people in the city? ”
"Secondly, after having a city, there must be no less guards, if there is no guard, after the city is built, it will be useless like a shell;"
"Again, the price of Ximeng needs to have a unified standard, after all, there must be a standard for doing business, if you sit on the ground and start the price, who would dare to come to Ximeng?"
"Finally, and the most important point, that is the issue of ownership, after the completion of the Ximeng, the land and houses here must always have a belonging, if the city lord's mansion does not stipulate ownership, it will inevitably cause a competition for ownership, so Qin Dashuai must think twice."
After hearing this, Qin Hao felt that he had benefited a lot, and immediately expressed his gratitude. He asked Lu Tiancheng to write down the four points raised by the other party, and then asked people to quickly inform them. Next is the layout of Ximeng, including four major areas: administrative district, military district, commercial district, and science and technology district.
In addition to these four areas, the craftsmen also proposed to establish agricultural areas, animal husbandry areas, aquatic areas, tourist areas, and so on outside the city, and soon the general layout of the Western League was settled.
After the Xicheng City Lord had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he casually took a look at Ximeng, and then left in the teleportation array.
As for the construction of the Western League, Qin Hao didn't take care of it, and handed it over to his grandfather Qin Zheng and his wife Lu Chengcheng to manage, and he buried himself in the alchemy room and became the shopkeeper.
With Qin Hao's early stage of advanced distraction, he planned to refine the third-order pill, and the easiest thing was the third-order lower-grade qi replenishment and blood replenishment pill. There are two difficulties in the third-order elixir, the first is the year of the elixir, and the second is the spirituality of the elixir.
After the elixir has been aged enough, the more spiritual they become, so the refining process is extremely difficult. The elixir will resist when it has spirituality, and if it is not careful, it will explode.
Therefore, many alchemists did not dare to try it easily until the merger period, but Qin Hao dared to be the first in the world. How could he solve the problem of the elixir's rebellion? I saw that Qin Hao directly and violently destroyed the spiritual wisdom of these elixirs, and then put them into the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir, the process seemed to be very smooth, but when the pill was condensed, there was a serious problem, that is, the quality of the elixir was not controlled, and there were only a very small number of third-order lower-grade qi and blood replenishing pills, and more were second-order pills.
At first, Qin Hao thought that the problem was in the control of the flames, but after refining several furnaces in succession, the problem still existed, which showed that the root cause was not a problem of spiritual intelligence.
Qin Hao reluctantly took out the master's "Dan Dao Record", he kept looking at the principle of the third-order elixir, and finally Biyou Daoist reminded the elixir above the third-order that it was not suitable to erase the spiritual wisdom of the elixir, which could only make it fall into a coma, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure the quality of the elixir.
Qin Hao did so according to the law, originally he thought that there should be no problem doing this, but there was still a problem when Ning Dan was condensing. I saw that when the pill was about to take shape, the pills exploded on their own.
What's going on? At this time, Qin Hao was circled, could it be that the master's record was a lie? However, Qin Hao thought that it should be impossible. If the master really didn't want to tell others about the Dan Dao experience, then there was no need for him to record the precautions for alchemy.
Since the master is not wrong, it must be himself who is wrong. Qin Hao turned off the stove and then thought about what the problem was. He pondered every detail of the alchemy one by one, and finally found that the problem was the process of extracting the essence of plants and trees.
Because there is no problem with the Ning Dan process, he has done it before, so he thinks that the problem is not big in the Ning Dan process, so the most likely place where there is a problem is in the extraction process.
In the process of extracting the essence from the elixir, although the essence was extracted, the spiritual wisdom of the elixir did not continue to be suppressed. They can be completely appendaged in the essence, which means that the spirit of the elixir is still an independent and sound existence in the essence.
What Qin Hao had to do next was to let the spiritual wisdom of these elixirs continue to sleep, perhaps only in this way could he refine the third-order elixir. Qin Hao did whatever he wanted, and quickly extracted the essence of the herbs and trees, just in case, he still suppressed the spiritual wisdom of the elixir when he was condensing the pill.
Sure enough, when the pill was formed, one by one the third-order lower grade blood replenishing pills were refined. Next, Qin Hao refined another furnace of Qi Replenishing Pill, and the result was the same as Qin Hao expected.
With his first experience, Qin Hao began to be bold, and then he refined a hundred copies in one furnace, but the result did not change much, and one thousand two hundred third-order blood replenishing pills were successfully refined.
Qin Hao's actions quickly attracted Lu Chengcheng's attention, she saw that Qin Hao had not left the alchemy room for a few days, so she came to visit him, and at this time, she saw him staring at the alchemy furnace stupidly, and said in her heart: "Qin Hao can't be stupid in alchemy!" ”
Just before Lu Chengcheng spoke, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Wife, look at my achievements in the past few days!" ”
After speaking, he took out all the third-order blood replenishing pills, and filled them with a lot, Lu Chengcheng couldn't see it, and said in surprise: "Husband, you succeeded?" ”
Qin Hao nodded and said, "Luckily the refining is successful, then I can refine it in large quantities, you let people prepare the materials, this is Danfang!" ”
Lu Chengcheng took the Dan Fang, and then put away all the third-order lower grade blood tonic pills, "Husband, you have worked hard, I will bring you delicious food to treat you later!" ”
After speaking, Lu Chengcheng kissed Qin Hao on the face, which made Qin Hao quite satisfied. He nodded, and then motioned for Lu Chengcheng to go and return quickly.
During the time when Lu Chengcheng was preparing food for Qin Hao, Qin Hao began to refine one hundred third-order lower grade qi replenishing pills.
Lu Chengcheng came out of Qin Hao's alchemy room, took the vegetable basket and prepared to go to the vegetable market to sell some chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry for Qin Hao to eat, but he was bumped into by Jiang Lan, the eldest lady of the Jiang family.
"Sister Lu, are you going to go grocery shopping? I'm going to go grocery shopping too, so let's go together! Jiang Lan proposed.
Lu Chengcheng didn't think about it so much, nodded in agreement, and then came to the farmers' market with Jiang Lan. Although Ximeng is a city in the world of cultivation, Qin Hao did not completely build the city into a classical city, but a city that combines classical and modern.
There are also many farmers' markets in the city, and there are three closest to the castle lord's mansion, so it is very convenient to buy dishes. Lu Chengcheng came to the fresh poultry area, and then bought a chicken, a duck and a goose respectively, Jiang Lan saw that she had bought so many poultry, and said, "Sister Lu, have you finished eating?" ”
Lu Tingcheng smiled: "It's not a person to eat, of course you can finish eating!" ”
Jiang Lan asked tentatively, "Sister Lu won't make it for Brother Qin, right?" ”
Lu Tingcheng nodded and said, "Qin Hao has worked hard for many days, so make something delicious for him to replenish his body!" ”
After listening to Jiang Lan's joy, she immediately said: "Sister Lu really has a heart, if Brother Qin knows that you are so good to him, he will definitely feel very happy!" ”
"By the way, Sister Lu, I also want to buy some vegetables, so I won't wait for you! We'll see you later. ”
Lu Tingcheng nodded, and then watched her leave. Since then, she hasn't thought much about it, she just thinks that Jiang Lan is an innocent and good girl. When Jiang Lan and Lu Chengcheng separated, she came to the beef slaughtering area to buy a cow, which was not enough, and then she asked for a whole sheep in the mutton slaughtering area, and finally bought a 300-pound Blue Flag tuna in the seafood area.
After this operation, it cost Jiang Lan a whole thousand gold coins. This amount of gold may be an astronomical amount on Earth, but on the Western Front, it is nothing.
The most valuable thing in the Western League is the pill, and the City Lord's Mansion controls the sale of the pill, so the entire City Lord's Mansion is the richest place. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and the City Lord's Mansion has a large number of tasks every day, so many people can't find a job and go to the City Lord's Mansion to order tasks, which can not only solve the problem of eating, but also help the City Lord's Mansion solve a lot of troubles.
One hour, Jiang Lan and Lu Chengcheng met again, and then the two happily returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Although the Jiang family also lived in the City Lord's Mansion, the Jiang family did not eat and live with Lu Chengcheng and others. After returning to the accommodation, Jiang Lan called the cook, and then prepared to roast the whole beef and roast the whole sheep.
The cooks were all chefs invited by Jiang Lan from the earth, and these mortals never dreamed that they would one day be able to serve the cultivators. When they learned that this barbecue was for the purpose of serving the city lord, they all showed their housekeeping skills.
After 20 hours of careful roasting by these cooks, the cows and sheep were finally roasted. Jiang Lan came to Qin Hao's alchemy room with roasted whole beef and roasted whole sheep, and saw that Qin Hao had actually eaten it.
On the side, Lu Chengcheng was waiting, and when she saw that Jiang Lan was also here, she was puzzled: "Sister Lan, is there something wrong with me looking for my husband?" ”
