Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the fifty years of one hundred families.

On a vast plain, Yuan is really working hard to carry out today's work.

Yuan Zhen is a qi practitioner and a real person. He was originally just a wild man, but by chance, he was discovered and cultivated by Zhao Ying, and later sent to Luoyang Academy to study.

When he returned from school, Yuan Zhen was already a feather scholar.

Later, Yuan Zhen has been serving the Zhao family, and so far, it has been more than 6,000 years.

About 4,000 years ago, Yuan Zhen became a true person by virtue of the Tao and Nature. However, in order to repay Zhao Ying's kindness to him, Yuan Zhen has stayed in the Zhao clan's territory to serve the Zhao clan over the years.

And Zhao Ying provided Yuan Zhen with all kinds of goods and provided a lot of resources. Without Zhao Ying's cultivation and the large amount of valuable resources provided by Zhao Ying, Yuan Zhen would not have been able to become a real person.

This kind of life has always been very good, and Yuan Zhen also thinks it's good. For each experiment, Zhao will provide sufficient resources. And you can also do experiments and observe the world with peace of mind.

Until fifty years ago, when the Yancheng periodicals spread all over the world, at the beginning, Yuan Zhen was happy, because there was a place to talk about the Tao, Yuan Zhen even personally wrote a letter to the heaven-level journal, and also published his latest achievements.

Yellow-level periodicals can be bought everywhere, sold all over the world, as long as you have money.

Xuan-level journals, when it comes to buying, it is a little difficult.

Prefecture-level periodicals are no longer paper-based, but pieces of artifacts, in which the content of prefecture-level periodicals is preserved.

As for the heaven-level periodicals, each heaven-level journal is a magic weapon, or a special magic weapon for recording information, it is said that it is specially researched by the Yancheng School Palace, which can store spiritual power, personal observations, personal feelings, and even the depths of your heart can evolve for you.

Daily-level journals have always been expensive and expensive to produce, so not everyone can buy them. Generally speaking, with the exception of Yancheng's allies, only those who have published articles above the heaven-level journal can buy it.

At the beginning, Yuan Zhen was really happy, at that time he felt that the future of the Taoist people was bright, and often praised Jiang Hua when reading periodicals, saying that he did a great job.

At that time, Yuan Zhen commented on the articles in the heaven-level journal, and the most common sentence was: "This article is really good, although it is just an idea, but at least it saved me ten years of hard work." If I were alone, I might have to work hard for ten years to figure this out, but at the moment, just one article inspired me and saved me at least ten years. ”

"The quality of this issue is not good, all of them add up, and it only inspires me once, saving me five years at most! Who is the editor-in-chief of this issue? This wrote to him for a bad review. ”

"This issue of the journal is good, the old man actually had an epiphany once, and gave the old man six inspirations, and the before and after added together saved the old man at least a hundred years."

If Yuan Zhen calculates, he will find that the fifty issues issued by the heaven-level journal so far, together before and after, have saved him at least more than a thousand years.

Cultivation at the real level is generally difficult to progress. However, thanks to the exchange of these periodicals, Yuan Zhen was able to make progress in 50 years that was almost 1,500 to 1,800 years old.

So, from the bottom of my heart, Yuan is really grateful to Jiang Hua.

To be precise, from a personal point of view, Yuan Zhen is very grateful to Jiang Hua.

And from other perspectives, Yuan Zhen hates Jiang Hua a little.

His research is often wasted because of Jiang Hua, and often because of Yancheng. For example, at this moment, Yuan Zhen is conducting research on Lingmi.

The importance of Lingmi is clear to almost anyone with a brain.

However, Yancheng has slowly occupied the majority of the Lingmi market through a series of means such as advanced varieties, advanced soil treasures, and advanced planting methods.

In the past, Lingmi rarely went abroad, it was a strategic material, and the Lingmi of the country was digested by the country.

Eat spiritual rice and drink spiritual springs every day, and then send them to Yancheng School Palace to study seriously for ten years, and the probability of giving birth to mana can be as high as 90%.

But if it is replaced by a full meal, then if it is sent to the Yancheng School Palace to study seriously, the probability of generating mana is only 20%. The rest will either eat a Tsukidan and help them give birth to mana, or they will not do it in the right way and become an ordinary person.

Yancheng also needs ordinary people!

This is also something that cannot be helped, the advantages of monks can be listed in seventy or eighty kinds, but the shortcomings of monks are also obvious, that is, they have weak fertility.

In these years, there are not a few Qi Refiners who are single to death.

Many qi refiners have become alchemists, and they all want to marry a alchemist's wife.

However, the number of female alchemists is usually less than half of the total number of alchemists.

And many female alchemists would rather become the outer chambers and concubines of warlocks and Taoist priests than marry male poor alchemists.

Many poor male men will marry mortal women only after accepting reality.

This was evident in the past.

When a priest and a priest get married, the childbearing time is generally ten months, but many monks are reluctant to have children, or they are not willing to have too many children.

The reasons for this are complicated, and it is not clear in a sentence or two, but the reality is that the speed at which monks have children is far from being comparable to that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people have a twenty-year generation, and if they live a prosperous life, each generation can give birth to three or four or even five or six. This rate of fertility is unmatched by the monks.

With such a rate of fertility, it is possible to provide a large number of grassroots populations.

With a large number of grassroots people, more alchemists can be cultivated.

As long as the country can afford it, there will always be more monks in the next generation than in the previous generation, and there will be more warlocks in the next generation than in the previous generation, and the same is true for Taoist priests and feather priests.

Even in the transcendent world, a large population is still a symbol of national strength.

Therefore, for a long time, Lingmi has always belonged to the strategic material, the kind that is prohibited from being exported. Of course, the great nobles can ignore the laws of the country and smuggle at will, which is also the unspoken rule of the nations. After all, the rules are formulated to agree on the people below, not to restrain the people.

If you are a master, you have to use Zhou etiquette, which is about not being a doctor, and about everyone being a decent person.

However, the emergence of Yancheng broke this point.

In the past, smuggling of fine iron was also strictly prohibited.

But now, the price of fine iron in the whole world has been reduced from 100 yuan and 1 tael in the past to 30 yuan and 1 tael.

It is mainly the production and life magic tools in Yancheng, which are sold everywhere.

Many large-scale iron-smelting tools, just put the ore in, you can automatically come out one after another iron ingots made of refined iron, the whole process of fool-like operation, how convenient.

When you need iron ore, you use slaves to dig it, and if the slaves die too much, you can't use it, so you go to the wild to catch wild people, how big is it?

Since the advent of this fool-style large-scale iron-smelting instrument, the price of refined iron in the world has been decreasing.

And Lingmi is also Yancheng's fist product today.

The Lingmi of Yancheng will undergo a renewal almost every year.

Today's Yancheng Lingmi is divided into many kinds according to categories.

The most widely sold is the kind in front of you, as long as you have aura and enough earth treasure and water, you can harvest it stubble by stubble like cutting leeks.

However, this is only an external statement. In fact, after the first stubble is cut, there must be some special secret recipes, use some things that don't know what it is to treat these spiritual rice rhizomes, and then use other secret recipes, and even the aura must be appropriately changed, so that the second stubble can grow.

It is said that today's Yancheng has been able to harvest seven stubbles in a row.

Therefore, although the land area of Yancheng is not large enough, the spiritual rice of Yancheng has gradually become a fist product, which is a temptation that no prince or any big nobleman can refuse.

No one would say no to Lingmi!

And Yuan Zhen's task is to study this kind of spiritual rice, how to deal with the second and third stubble.

As for the question of how to deal with the first and second stubble, it has been resolved.

But the problem in front of him made Yuan Zhen can't help but pull his hair, it is too difficult.

After studying and studying, the little disciple ran over, shouting as he ran: "Master, the Lord has invited you to come over." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zhen suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

Many times in the past, Zhao Ying called him like this. After I passed, I told him that the research in front of me could be stopped first, balabala......

As for the reason, sometimes it is because Yancheng has announced the secret.

For example, the formula between the first and second stubble of this Lingmi was announced by Yancheng on its own initiative.

At that time, in order to research the relevant formula, Yuan Zhen took several Yushi and dozens of Taoist priests to study day and night for five or six years, and when the breakthrough was about to be made, Yancheng suddenly announced the relevant formula, and even began to sell the formula publicly.

Not only the formula related to Lingmi, but also many other key technologies.

Whenever someone is about to break through, or has just broken through, Yancheng will swipe to announce a big price reduction or simply announce the formula directly, in the name of benefiting the public and seeking well-being for the people of the world.

This kind of thing has happened to Yuan Zhen twice, and the first time he just felt that he was unlucky, and he didn't think it was Yancheng's routine. But the second time, Yuan Zhenqi didn't eat for three days. As for the moment, Yuan Zhen suddenly had a bad premonition, this may be the third time!

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen couldn't help but scold: ***********

After Yuan Zhen spoke, the other disciples were stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then scolded together.

However, after scolding, life has to continue, thinking of this, Yuan Zhen went to Zhao Ying's mansion a little depressed.

"My lord, the minister is here."

The lord in Yuan Zhen's mouth is none other than Zhao Ying, a tall and personable man, and sitting here makes people feel good. However, only a few people can see Zhao Ying's smile, and Zhao Ying, in the eyes of most people, is a serious and unsmiling person.

"Yuan Zhen, you take a look at this news first."

Yuan Zhen took the official newspaper of Yancheng handed over by Zhao Ying, glanced at the title, and couldn't help but be angry: "Hehe, it's really nice to say, in order to benefit all the people in the world, Yancheng took the initiative to disclose the general principle between the second and third stubbles, and then only needs to spend 100 million money to permanently obtain the relevant principles......"

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Back then, in order to study the secret between the first and second crops, countless manpower and material resources were used before and after......"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying silently calculated in his heart, if all the manpower and material resources are converted into money, it will be about one trillion yuan, which is already a lot. There are only more than 100 counties in the Zhao family, although these more than 100 counties have been operated by the Zhao family for many years, the leylines inside have already been sorted out, and the aura inside has long been marked with the mark of the Zhao family, and every grass and tree in it has been sacrificed and refined by the Zhao family.

The entire Zhao clan has become a whole, and within this whole, the power of the head of the Zhao family has reached a higher level, which can be described as easy.

Even in every county, there are a large number of spiritual fields and spiritual springs, which are far from being comparable to the poor mountains and bad waters in the south.

But even so, a trillion dollars is not a small amount for the Zhao family.

The bigger the territory, the more power, and the more money you have to spend.

The income of each county of the Zhao family, the grain income is not much, on average, a county is about 40 million acres of fertile land, even if the use of Yancheng's good seeds, soil treasures, advanced planting technology, now the average yield per mu is only 15 stones, it is said that Yancheng has 20 stones.

A county produces 600 million stone of grain a year, that is, 60 billion yuan, but after removing many costs, the final amount is only 30 billion yuan. If you divide it with the local government, it will only be about 20 billion yuan if it is handed over to the Zhao family's center.

Zhao's total annual grain income is about 3 trillion.

Although the Zhao family and other Central Plains countries have had a long time of land development, and there are many spiritual fields and spiritual springs, these incomes may be six or seven trillion yuan.

Even if you add other miscellaneous and unsightly income, as well as the income from breeding and selling war horses, the total income of the Zhao family in a year is at most twenty trillion.

It sounds like a lot, but this year is already the fifty years of the hundred families, and this income is not even as good as the Yue Kingdom with the strong support of Yancheng, let alone compared with Yancheng.

Twenty trillion sounds like a lot, but how much money can be spent on researching new technologies?

At the beginning, I studied the secret between the first and second stubble of Lingmi, which was equivalent to spending a trillion before and after, but in the end, it was directly lost......

"Now, in order to study the secret between the second and third crops, countless manpower and material resources have been spent before and after......"

It's also about a trillion, Zhao Ying thought silently.

"There is also the Xuanjia that was studied at the beginning, and now the Xuanjia of Yancheng has been developed to the eighth generation, this eighth-generation Xuanjia is very light and thin, and it is like wearing a gauze on the body, and it is very soft and glutinous, and it is also the same as the sari in this regard, and even some small spells are attached to it......"
