Winter goes to spring

Time soon came to the spring of the fourth year of Baijia

Huiji County

Gou Jian personally came to a certain island, which was only a hundred miles away from Huiji County, and it was also the agreed trading place between Yancheng and Yueguo. Looking at the large fleet slowly approaching in the distance, Gou Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally here, and I don't know how much they can buy. In the past, the meat of the big demon, the wealthy merchants of the Chu State could be reduced to fifty yuan a catty, which was really not a son of man, this was bullying me and the Yue Kingdom could only be sold to the Chu State. ”

Selling to Chu State can still make a little money, and selling it to Wu State is a pure enemy.

Wen Chong's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, the fleet in Yancheng has come, should we notify the nobles in the country and let them participate in it, once the nobles know about this kind of thing, they will be dissatisfied." ”

Hearing this, Gou Jian snorted coldly: "Those people don't need to be bothered, they are dissatisfied, when they found the treasures of heaven and earth in their territory, did they ever think about paying tribute to Lone?" When there was a great harvest in their territory, did they ever think about paying some taxes to Guduo? ”

"If they are unkind, then loneliness is not unjust."

"Moreover, in this first batch of fleets, there are tens of thousands of sets of Xuanjia, and these Xuanjia armors cost three million yuan, which together is three billion dollars!"

"According to the list given by Yancheng, in addition to Xuanjia, this first batch of goods also has a large number of Yancheng cabbage, I heard that this kind of cabbage is a kind of spiritual root, which can grow where there is aura, and the water is spiritual, it can be eaten raw directly, and it tastes better wrapped in meat."

"The most important thing is that this kind of Yancheng cabbage can be eaten every day, and it will not be like an elixir, and it will be useless when you eat it."

"In addition to these cabbages, there are also a large number of spiritual rice, and these spiritual rice and Yancheng cabbage are what Gu values the most."

"With these, Lone will be able to immediately train a Yellow-level Daoist soldier who is absolutely loyal to Lone. The deterrent power of a yellow-level Dao soldier is often stronger than that of the prime minister. ”

"What's more, this is just the first fleet, and the total price of the cargo on it is about 100 billion dollars, which is just to test the water. Yancheng is really wealthy, so many materials, directly sent over, the lonely goods have not been given yet, it is really broad-minded! ”

Wen Chong thought for a while and said: "Yancheng does have a lot of money, and the minister thinks that the main reason is that the way of thinking is different. ”

"In Yancheng, it is normal for Fang Shi to work. Long before the Dao Destroying Order was issued, the Fang Shi began to work. It's just that at that time, Fang Shi mostly worked for himself. ”

"After the Dao Destruction Order was issued, Yancheng began to vigorously build the School Palace, allowing the warlocks to take up positions in the School Palace, granting the position of teaching, and hiring warlocks to work by issuing research tasks and combat missions."

"Up to now, the Taoist priests in Yancheng don't have any shelves, and they are all used to going to the Academy Palace to receive combat missions or research tasks."

"And after the hundred schools of thought contended, Wei's son-in-law also began to release tasks in Yancheng Xuegong, and later Han's son-in-law issued production and life tasks in Yancheng for a long time, directly letting the Taoists in Yancheng round up the agriculture of Hexi County."

"The practice of the two sons has inspired many great nobles."

"Since then, many big nobles have quietly issued various research tasks in the Yancheng Academy."

Speaking of this, Wen Chong took out a jade slip and handed it to Gou Jian: "Your Majesty, this is some information collected by the minister. ”

"For example, a new minister of Wu State, who was already a lot of age, was a doctor who was about to age, but he made a successful breakthrough overnight, and the external saying is that he was reborn in ruin, found life in death, and finally broke through."

However, in fact, he spent a lot of money to release a research task in Yancheng, and finally made a breakthrough with the help of the research results of the Taoists. Although he spent a full two billion dollars plus half of the demon king's corpse before and after, and even the ancestral property was sold by him, he succeeded, he was already the prime minister, and he successfully unified the entire family! ”

"There are not a few people like this new prime minister."

"Among this jade slip, there are seven of them. These seven are all from Wu Guo, Xu Guo and our Yue Kingdom. ”

"In the past, the nobles didn't trust the Taoists, and the Taoists didn't trust the nobles, and both sides always felt that the other party would harm them. But now, with Yancheng as a guarantee, many nobles are willing to spend money to buy the research results of the Taoists. ”

"Therefore, slowly there are a lot of anonymous tasks in the school palace in Yancheng."

"For some tasks, not only the publisher is anonymous, but also the Taoist who connects to the task must also be anonymous, and it is also necessary to sign a contract to prevent leakage, and the content of the task is kept secret from the beginning to the end."

"Nowadays, there are so many tasks in Yancheng every day, only about one percent are released by Yancheng locals and Yanjun Mansion, and the remaining ninety percent are all released by outsiders."

"The most important thing about these tasks is to help find money and help dig for wealth."

Hearing this, Gou Jian couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What did you say?" ”

"For example, there is a Xu Guoshi who is the prime minister of the Xu family, and his ancestor was a certain Xu Hou, and he is also from a public family. However, the age is too long, and now it has little contact with the Xu Guo clan, and it has little to do with it. ”

"Xu's fiefdom happens to be a pivotal place, of course Chu State will not let it go, the place has been occupied, and now the war between Xu State and Chu State is preliminarily over, and there are only more than 120 counties left in Xu State, and other counties are occupied by Chu State."

"For the Xu family, the fief is completely irreversible, and the old head of the Xu family died in the war, so the young family master simply came to Yancheng with a small number of family members."

"In the past, the Xu family buried a lot of treasures in and near the fiefdom, which was originally used when the family was declining and making a comeback. But now the entire fief has become the territory of the Chu State. These treasures, with the ability of the young master of the Xu family, it is difficult to go back. Even if it is really dug up, once it is exposed, it is very likely that even people with treasures will be served by the Chu State. ”

"So he simply issued a mission and asked the Taoists to help him dig up the treasure."

"At the beginning of this mission, it was an anonymous and confidential mission."

"Later, all the treasures of the Xu family were dug up, and it is said that they contain a large amount of golden sand, a large number of second-generation prime ministers, three corpses of the demon king, a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures, and one of the ten thousand years of spiritual roots."

"Later, the young master of the Xu family took the 10,000-year-old spirit root as a gift, and found a school palace sacrificial wine for his youngest daughter with the best qualifications as a master, which can be regarded as taking root."

Later, the news spread. And then slowly, there were all kinds of strange tasks. ”

"Some people entrust Taoists to save people, because many people's fathers participated in the rebellion, and in the end the rebellion failed, but the father asked his sons to bring money in advance, and the sons entrusted Taoists to save those marginal people, brothers and sisters."

As for parents, it is too difficult, and most people do not take on this kind of task.

"Another example is that some nobles, although they have declined, when they come to Yancheng, they have nothing, but they have a lot of secrets hidden in their minds, they sell secrets, or simply hire Taoists, or even cooperate with Taoists to explore a certain secret place together."

"Today's Yancheng is indeed vibrant, giving people a sense of competition for everything."

Gou Jian thought for a long time and said, "Doctor Wen, you said, I want to go and see it. ”

"It's a pity that as a lone Marquis of Yue, I can only stay in Huiji County, at most I only go around the country, and I can't leave Yueguo at all."

Wen Chong said with a smile: "This is simple, there are many secret methods in Yancheng, just like Yanjun, who is now seriously injured, and his body doesn't know where to hide to heal his injuries, but he uses secret methods to make a projection." This projection is either dangling around Dongning Island every day, or meeting ministers from all walks of life in Yancheng, or hanging around in the four southern counties and six northern counties. ”

Every time he traveled, he sat in a rocking chair and let the guards carry him, not hiding that he was seriously injured, but also letting everyone know that he was still alive and well. This move also made many nobles, many ordinary people, and many Taoists see his appearance, which can be described as quite close to the people. “”

"Your Excellency, you can refine a magic weapon, make a magic weapon incarnation, and let this avatar go to Yancheng to observe and observe instead of you."

"Chen thinks that it is still necessary to go to Yancheng today to observe it in person."

"Whether it's the various Taoisms there, or the many novel ideas, it's necessary to get to know them up close."

"Especially the twenty counties occupied by the Taoists and nobles, almost every county has its own characteristics, and we must have a reference if we want to reform the country in the future."

Gou Jian nodded slowly, and said to Wen Chong: "The guests are coming, how are our goods prepared?" ”

"This time, we have prepared various goods with a total value of one trillion."

"Among them, there are as many as twenty corpses of the demon king."

"These demon king corpses, even if they are purely selling demon beast meat, start at a thousand yuan per catty. There is a demon king is a big whale in the sea, and the weight alone is as much as tens of millions of catties, although this whale demon king has no additional characteristics, but the flesh is the heaviest, and considering the demon king's essence blood and other things, this demon king's corpse alone can be sold for 20 billion yuan. However, demon kings like this are very few after all. ”

"Most of the demon king's corpses, even if they are preserved, they can't be so heavy, the total value is between one billion and three billion, and the specific amount depends on whether the other party needs it or not, whether it is urgently needed."

"In the past, we paid a lot of costs every year in order to preserve the corpse of the demon king. Those formations need money to operate, and the manpower needed to maintain the operation of the formations is also money. ”

"In the past, it was difficult to meet someone who just needed the corpse of the demon king, barter, and it was difficult to meet both parties who were suitable, and they were reluctant to buy it cheaply, and in the end many corpses of the demon king became chicken ribs."

"Now these twenty demon king corpses can be sold for at least 40 billion yuan together, and 50 billion is possible."

This kind of thing is definitely valuable, but if it falls into the hands of an alchemist, the value can easily increase tenfold. In the past, the natural treasure of the Yue Kingdom, that is, the cow chewing peony, was eaten directly when encountered, as for refining medicine and alchemy, this kind of advanced technology, it is too rare.

There is a mine at home, but there is no pioneering technology, this is the current situation of Yueguo.

When this batch of demon king's corpses was transported to Yancheng, after being processed by the Taoists, they were sold for trillions of dollars.

"In addition, there are thousands of corpses of the big demon, and as for the little demon, because it is the first time to trade, I didn't get it."

If the little demon also sets up a seal or formation to preserve, the price is a bit too great, and it is usually eaten directly.

"In addition, we have accumulated a large number of spirit fruits, and we can also sell them on a large scale this time."

"In short, the minister has prepared a total of 200 billion to 300 billion yuan of goods."

Hearing this, Gou Jian thought for a while: "Our Huiji County is 20,000 miles away from Dongning Island, and it will take three months to come and go. Doesn't that mean that there will be a maximum of four times of business this year? ”

Wen Chong knew that Gou Jian was worried that there were too few caravans and he couldn't buy too many resources.

"Don't worry, a few years ago, Yancheng came up with a series of methods for land reclamation."

"This series of Tao methods can continuously absorb the aura of water in the depths of the sea, and through the principle of the five elements (aquatic wood, wood fire, fire and earth) to generate a large amount of soil, it can create floating islands floating on the surface of the sea."

"These floating islands are not deep enough, but the surface area is not small, and they look like islands."

"With these movable islands, a large number of ships can stop halfway, so that the warlocks can drive their ships through the islands along the way, and eventually come and sell them with a shipload of goods."

"And this first fleet is actually a mobile island plus a large number of sea vessels. When the warlocks on the ship were tired, they went to the island to rest, and the warlocks on the island, which had already been repaired, took the opportunity to get on the ship and continue to cast spells to move the fleet forward. ”

"Therefore, the number of ships in the first batch is small, and a total of about 100 billion yuan of various commodities have been transported."

"After the construction of floating islands in the sea area of 20,000 miles along the way, there will be a transit station on the way, and at that time, the warlocks can participate in shipping, and our scholars from the Yue country can also participate in the national transportation. Isn't it the water attribute method? There is no shortage of water attribute scholars in our Yue country, they are all southerners, who doesn't know water? ”

"Even if there is no such perfect Taoism at the moment, we can learn it, and when we learn it, we can let our scholars also drive sea boats and sell them to Yancheng."

"Like now, the 200 billion to 300 billion goods we have prepared, if they arrive in Yancheng, they can be sold for at least 500 billion to 800 billion."

Hearing this, Gou Jian directly gasped, he was distressed!

"Doesn't this mean that we worked hard to kill demons, killed so many warriors, spent so much effort, and finally got only 30% of the profit?" Gou Jian slapped his thigh violently!

"It's just 30%, it depends on people's faces!"

"Just these three percent, or Yanjun wants to make friends with us!"

Hearing this, Gou Jian gritted his teeth and said, "We must stand and earn money!" ”

"We don't have a large-scale fleet now, nor do we have a batch of maritime shipping methods, but we can learn it!"

"After we learn it, when these floating islands are built, we will also organize a fleet, and this money will not be earned by these middlemen, we will earn it ourselves!"
