In the end, Xia Yanyu still won the victory.

And the final amount was calculated.

All things considered, the cost of the bow and the hilt of the gun was about 28,000 taels of silver.

At Xia Yan's request, the standard of the warship was also raised, and the total cost was estimated to be about 35,000 taels.

In this way, the total cost of weapons and ships was sixty-three thousand taels.

So far, after this operation, there are only about 2,000 taels of silver left in the entire treasury.

Xia Yan still felt a little uneasy about this, two thousand taels seemed a bit much, and it happened that Yuan Liyang brought good news to himself.

It turned out that the production of playing cards has officially begun, in order to meet the output required by Xia Yan, the household department has accelerated the production of a batch of molds since yesterday's retreat, and it is expected that it will be officially put into use in the afternoon.

At that time, as long as there are no major problems, the household can produce at least 1,000 decks of playing cards a day from today.

Xia Yan heard that this is a good thing, a thousand decks of playing cards a day, that means it can cost a hundred taels of silver.

Now there are seven days left before the settlement date, and relying on this method can cost seven hundred taels of silver.

In this way, the treasury has only three hundred taels of silver, which is simply perfect!

"Uh, Your Majesty, what about the extra playing cards?"

Hearing Yuan Liyang's words, Xia Yan also fell into deep thought slightly.

It seems that there are only so many people in his army, and it is impossible for everyone to have playing cards.

But it's impossible for me to tell them to find a place to burn it, in that case, I'm afraid that it will be a violation again.

After thinking about it, Xia Yan had to speak, "You can sell it." ”

"How much should I sell?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan thought slightly, and finally said, "Ten taels of silver." ”

"it!" The seven old men in the court gasped one after another.

Good guy, you have to sell it for ten taels if you cost a hundred yuan, and it's also dark.

Okay, whether it's black or not, the price alone doesn't have any appeal.

You must know that the income of ordinary people is only three or four taels a year.

You have ten taels of playing cards, can this ghost buy them?

But Xia Yan refused to give in at all.

"It must be ten taels, and customers would rather lack this thing than overuse it."

Xia Yan's strong statement also made everyone doubt themselves.

Could it be that things are not sold as cheaply as possible?

Could it be that there is something wrong with my perception over the years?

Or is it that His Majesty's head is burned out?

But his recent policies have worked wonders......

Old...... I must be getting old......

After countless ideological struggles, a group of old men nodded in agreement with what Xia Yan said.

"Okay, then we'll price it at ten taels of silver."

Hearing this, Xia Yan also nodded with satisfaction.

Ten taels is the most reasonable price.

Because the making of playing cards is relatively exquisite.

Xia Yan is really worried that if the price is too low, it will sell a lot.

And ten taels don't have this problem.

There are only so many people in the country in total, and they have basically been looted by Xia Yan, who will buy it?

Thinking like this, Xia Yan felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and he retreated from the dynasty with joy.

And in a place that Xia Yan had never seen after retreating from the dynasty, Di Renjie and Zhuge Liang were talking while walking.

"Come, little brother Zhuge come to Genhuazi."

"Well, Huazi is good."

After swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, the two also officially entered the topic.

"Little brother Zhuge do you see that layer of His Majesty the Emperor's operation is at that level?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he silently took out two Huazi from his pocket and said silently.

"It's supposed to be in the atmosphere."

"Oh? What does that mean? ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Di Renjie's face was overjoyed, and then he showed an expectant expression.

"Brother Di, have you ever thought about why Your Majesty doesn't want to make playing cards cheaper?"

Seeing Di Renjie shaking his head, Zhuge Liang continued.

"That's because His Majesty wants to create a top brand that the world can't imitate."

"Top brands?"

"Yes, although Your Majesty didn't speak, but I have roughly thought about it, this brand is called 'Tianxia No. 1' poker."

Then, Di Renjie's two big eyes kept blinking, and he still seemed to be a little puzzled.

"Brother Di, listen to me slowly, the playing cards are simple and easy to understand, if you want to imitate them, it is very simple, and the cost of imitation is very low, right."

"Not bad."

Seeing Di Renjie nodding, Zhuge Liang's face was even more proud.

"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty does not want to make low-cost playing cards, there are thousands of poker in the world, and the eternal classic is 'the first in Tianxia'."

"I see, Your Majesty is making our poker irreplaceable!"

"Yes, the people of our country can buy cheap poker because of the poor conditions, so what we have to do is to quickly open up the foreign market, from today onwards the two of us should work together on this matter, and all the products produced in these days will be sent to other countries for sale."

Di Renjie nodded heavily when he heard this, "Well, sure enough, you young people are smart, so that's it!" ”

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Zhuge Liang shouted Di Renjie to stop, "In order to enhance the popularity of Tianxia No. 1 Poker, we need to unify the advertising words." ”

"Poker is eternal, and the summer is eternal!"

"Good, good! Wonderful! ”

Hearing this advertising slogan, Di Renjie also smiled instantly.

Soon, the two of them smiled and went to the household, and the sales of playing cards must be opened, so from today onwards the two will live in the household.

On the other side, Xia Yan obviously didn't know what was happening here, and he was still reading leisurely at the moment.

After a period of exercise, Xia Yan can now read for more than fifteen minutes every day.

Of course, as long as it takes more than fifteen minutes, the ending will naturally be the same, and you have to destroy a book.

And today, when Xia Yan was about to fall asleep again, Gonggong Luo outside the door came and knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, the girl at the beginning seems to have some eyebrows."

"That girl, you mean ......?"

"It's drip, it's that girl, our registered name is 'Su Yue'."

"Su Yue......" Xia Yan silently read the name, and then continued to ask: "Then you have news of her, you must have found her?" ”

"Of course...... Not anymore! ”

“……。”

"Not only that, but it is likely that we will not be able to find her in this life, because according to our inquiries, she should have left the Great Xia Empire, and her current whereabouts are unknown."

“……。”

Xia Yan wanted to scold your uncle, thinking that he couldn't find you to talk to me about a ghost, but soon Grandpa Luo continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, I told you this situation to tell you that people can't find it, so you better not be unrequited in love with a flower, turn over a card......"
