After a morning, the negotiations were over.

In the end, a total of 30,000 flintlock pistols and shotguns were sold to Zhu Kan at a price of twenty taels of silver each.

At the same time, there are no conditions for the manufacture of shotguns in Yanzhao, and they will be provided in the future, and they will be calculated according to one tael of silver and ten bullets.

In addition, Qi will build a military airfield in Yueyang City. Zhu Kan can purchase air raid and bombing services, dispatch a plane to bomb once, and according to the calculation of 10,000 taels of silver, the bomber can assist the Yan Zhao army in bombing specific targets according to the agreement.

The guns and ammunition alone were recorded in a million taels of silver this time.

In fact, Zhu Kan is very rich. Moreover, at this moment of life and death, it is very cost-effective for the entire Yanzhao Group to be able to exchange money for combat effectiveness.

Now, for them, there is almost no other way out than to fight the Daru State.

Like Zhao Fu, it is not possible to go to Qingcheng as a public servant.

Because Zhao Fu also fought until the last moment, and only after the defeat did he go to the wilderness with gold and silver treasures and go to the Qi country.

"In this way, it is beneficial for both parties and is conducive to achieving a win-win situation."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the final negotiation results.

"The Manufacturing Bureau and Qixing Group can use this money to update the production line and expand production.

Yan Zhao can also hold on to his turf and defend the war line through cooperation with us. ”

Through the arms trade, a large amount of gold and silver can be collected, and the central bank's silver reserves can be increased, and more currency can be issued to revitalize the private economy.

Now, with the establishment of Qi State, Wuzhou Development Bank officially changed its name to Qi State Development Bank, and began to open a large number of bank outlets in various provinces and counties.

Efforts should be made to publicize and popularize the use of banknotes in various places.

However, because of the silver standard, the officially issued currency is no longer enough, and there are still a large number of people in the newly occupied provinces who do not recognize paper money, and many of the older people have been affected by the treasure money issued by the prospect dynasty, and they have a natural distrust of paper money, and feel more secure with silver and copper plates in their hands.

This led to the shortage of silver reserves in the treasury and the insufficient money supply, which led to the inconvenience of payment transactions and also affected the economic development to a certain extent.

This problem can only be solved when the next summer grain tax is collected, when the grain tax amount is converted into paper money and collected.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ren Pingsheng summoned Zhu Qing again.

After some encouragement, the next day he sent a river steamer to escort the delegation headed by Zhu Qing and transport 30,000 rifles back to Zhuoya County, Zhaozhou Province.

It was fast forward to mid-November.

Perhaps because the weather is gradually getting colder, the armies on the eastern and western fronts of Daru have increased the frequency and intensity of battles.

On this day, Xiao Wan took a telegram and came to Jingxinzhai.

Ren Pingsheng was sitting under the eaves, admiring the goose feathers and snow in the yard.

Seeing Xiao Wan wearing a red hooded cloak and walking from the snow, like a touch of red in the plain white of the world, jumping in the snow, like a jumping flame, full of bright vitality.

"In the past few years, the weather has become colder and colder year by year, and in previous years in Qifeng County, it would not have been able to snow so much at this time."

Xiao Wan came to the eaves and shook off the snow on her body.

Qifeng County is traditionally a place where the north and the south meet, but it is usually classified as a south.

It snows but it's usually not very cold.

But in the past two years, it has been unusually cold, no warmer than the winter in Yuntai County.

However, the snowflakes in the south are not as dry as the snow in the north, and they appear a little sticky, often sticking to the clothes, and it is easy to wet the clothes after the snow melts.

Xiao Wan gently reached out and grabbed it, and the moisture on her clothes turned into wisps of moisture, and finally fell into her palm, which was gradually transformed into a crystal clear ring by her, and she wore it on her finger casually.

"Maybe it's the climate that's changing."

Ren Pingsheng vaguely remembered that when he was studying geography in middle school, there was something like the Xiaoice River period, and he couldn't remember it for sure, so he said casually at this time.

Xiao Wan took out the telegram from her cuffs, handed it to Ren Pingsheng, and sat next to Ren Pingsheng, naturally picked up the grapefruit on the table next to her, peeled off the thin layer of skin of the grapefruit for him, and only left the flesh in the fruit bowl, broken into a suitable size, and then sent to the young master's mouth.

While feeding the young master, she said, "According to the news from Zhongzhou, the living corpse has mutated and has been applied to the battlefield by the Daru. ”

"Is it a mutated living corpse being used on the battlefield by the Daru? Or did the Daru create mutated living corpses to use on the battlefield? ”

Ren Pingsheng asked.

These are two different concepts with very different impacts.

"It's a mutated living corpse created by the Daru."

Xiao Wan replied.

"What a despicable bunch of brutes!"

Ren Pingsheng scolded.

The telegram clearly described the scene in the siege of Taiming County, Guo County.

"In the early morning of the 9th of November, the Daru people suddenly let people attack the city, and hundreds of besiegers screamed wildly, as if they were crazy, and they were called crazy.

Its manpower is infinite, the speed is extremely fast, can make weapons, after kicking the city, wielding a knife to kill, anyone who is contaminated with the "crazy blood" of the madman, will be infected in a moment, with extremely strong aggression, and do not distinguish between friend and foe. ”

This is a description of a living corpse.

Ren Pingsheng remembered that on the side of the multi-fish country, the research on living corpses also had some results.

At that time, it was an idle move, and now it has some eyebrows.

The virus of the living corpse has been studied and analyzed, like a bacteriophage, which is the kind of virus that is like a nanobot. After being rooted in the cells of the human body, the six symmetrical legs are like landers landing on a small planet, piercing the cell wall downwards and injecting their own genetic material into them, constantly replicating themselves.

However, it is different from ordinary viruses.

They are extremely lethal and can kill people in a matter of hours. At the same time, when they come together, a certain consciousness is formed—this consciousness is the consciousness that actively spreads.

After infecting the host until they die for a period of time, they are able to spread themselves by reactivating neurons and controlling the host's body to bite other people.

In the research of the multi-fish country, the infection rate of this virus has been greatly enhanced, so that the virus can complete the infection and manipulation of the host in a very short time after invading the host.

Moreover, when the host's body is still fresh, it has extremely fast speed and great strength, and these are because the human body has lost its self-protection mechanism, and under the control of the virus, it is completely driven at the cost of the body's collapse, and all the potential of this body is realized.

What's even more amazing is that after these viruses are cultivated in Jingguo and multi-fish country to form aggregates, they will even inherit many muscle memories of human beings, and even some of the shallow memories in the brain.

Now, the description of the living corpse in the telegram is almost identical to the content of the multi-fish country's research on the living corpse virus.

"O fiery roots of humanity."

Ren Pingsheng sighed.

There's nothing to say about it, it's a matter of interest.

Even on the earth, aren't the major powers also studying bacteriological warfare and virus warfare?

It's just that the virus that originally harmed countless people was studied in the laboratory, and its infectivity and harm were strengthened again, and then released to hurt and kill people, how ironic! What a violation of human moral consensus! But how realistic!

"A living corpse virus that scared human beings back then has now been played by human beings themselves."

Ren Pingsheng threw the telegram in his hand on the table.

"Forget the book, you go to the secretariat and ask Huang Wenguang to pass this telegram to the Ministry of National Defense, so that the whole army can strengthen its vigilance against it."

"In addition, the barbarian army has approached Yuntai County, and 50,000 regular soldiers are sent north to Guo County and Boming County, and the barbarian army must not be allowed to approach Yuntai County."

Ren Pingsheng ordered.

Forget the book nodded and hurried away.

Today, although there is no major war in Yuzhou Province. However, outside of Yueyang County, Shishan County and Jiangfu County are active with a large number of Daru spies and a large number of cavalry, and there are constant frictions day by day, and conflicts often break out on the other side of the Wenchang River.

There are casualties on both sides on an almost daily basis.

On the Yanzhao battlefield on the Western Front, with the support of the Qi State, the Yanzhao army once advanced dozens of kilometers. But then, the Daru offensive intensified, and they learned to dig holes and trenches without a teacher, and as soon as they saw bombers coming from the air, they immediately jumped into the holes.

Without the momentum of Qi State's saturation bombing, the damage that can be done is relatively limited.

Zhu Kan was also at a disadvantage again, losing a large area of land.

"Young master, Hai Dongqing will be back soon."

Xiao Wan said again.

"Hai Dongqing?"

Ren Pingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who Hai Dongqing was.

This is the escort of Lan Feng's father and son, who he nominally sent to protect the Lan Clan's martial arts hall in Qingcheng Town, to Suling Mountain to listen to the preaching of Qing Hui Zhenren, but in fact, they are the people who learn the scriptures for themselves.

However, later, with the appearance of Qingyuan Daoist and Su Qianyun, the scriptures and meanings of the exercises have been left to be picked up, and the preaching of the Qinghui Zhenren has lost its meaning to him. At that time, Hai Dongqing, the leader of the night cat organization, was gradually forgotten by him in the corner.

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, he didn't have any desire to understand Hai Dongqing.

Xiao Wan said: "Lan Feng is also coming back, and according to what Hai Dongqing said, Su Ling Mountain has sent a representative to come to Qifeng City to meet him. ”

"Surin Mountain?"

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand, and the snow in the courtyard outside the eaves was suddenly stirred by mental power, and a whirlpool was born in a whirlpool, and the snowflakes floated in and fell into his palm: "They want to come to our country to develop?" ”

Xiao Wan smiled: "Not bad." Now, Caiyun Province, where the mountain gate of Suling Mountain is located, has become the territory of our Qi country, and Suling Mountain is naturally anxious. ”

Moreover, the State of Qi conquered Caiyun Province, but regarded the Daoist Sect of the World as nothing, and never sent anyone to contact it.

After a long time, Su Lingshan was also anxious.

After all, this is related to the battle of the Dao line, and now the momentum of the Qi country is like cooking oil on fire.

As the most promising Qi country in the world, ignoring Suling Mountain, the good situation of Suling Mountain may disappear now.

"In this case, spread the news of the upcoming visit of Surin Mountain."

Ren Pingsheng made a small snowman in his hand and installed a nose and eyes on it.

"What does the young master want?"

Xiao Wan asked.

"One is to give the sky a sense of crisis. By the way, you sent someone to make up a ballad, and put the three words 'Great Immortal Garden' into it, and sang it around Shangshuifang, where Yunlongguan is located.

The second is to create some difficulties for Suring Mountain. The Tianyi vein, and even some forces under the water, will definitely not watch the arrival of Suling Mountain, so we can weigh and weigh its true color. ”

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Then do we accept the Taiyi represented by Surin Mountain?"

Xiao Wan asked again.

"Of course, it's easy to master when there's competition. Maybe with their competition, we can get more and more core information, I always feel that this world is not simple, and there may be some amazing secrets in it. ”

Ren Pingsheng gave the snowman in his hand to Xiao Wan, stood up and entered the meditation fasting behind him.

On the same day, there was news that the world's Dao Sect Su Ling Mountain was about to come to Qi Feng City.

Shangshuifang, after Qingyuan Dao Chang learned the news, he was furious.

"Su Ling Mountain, this is a bad rule! The Great Immortal Venerable is my Tianyi has long taken a fancy to him, why is he in Suling Mountain? ”

Tianyi has already made a lot of investment, and now Su Lingshan wants to come and pick peaches, and he is the first to disagree!

Although the king of Qi did not fully support Tianyi, he also gave privileges such as preaching, selecting disciples, and building temples, but there were restrictions in all aspects.

In the Jing Dynasty, the Dao system of Tianyi was suppressed by Taiyi represented by Suling Mountain, and the number and location of Taoist temples were clearly arranged.

Now, Tianyi can't see the hope of turning over, how can he allow Su Lingshan to stick a lever again and take away the interests that belong to them?

"Master!"

Just when the Taoist chief of Qingyuan was thinking hard about a good plan, the door of the Taoist temple was opened, and Xia Yuan ran back.

"You don't supervise the work at the foot of Yunmen Mountain, what are you doing when you come back at this time?"

Qingyuan Daoist glared at Xia Yuan, who was babbling, and said unhappily.

"Master, I heard a child singing a nursery rhyme, it seems to be related to the Great Immortal Court!"

Xia Yuan hurriedly said.

"What!?"

Daoist Qingyuan stood up suddenly: "What are you singing?" ”

"When night falls, the moon is bright, and there is singing in the Great Immortal Garden. The bright moon in the mountains shines on the fairy road, and the spiritual light flashes into the fairy dream······"

Xia Yuan hummed softly.

"The Great Immortal Court sang in the middle of the ······ It's not like an accident. ”

Qingyuan Dao Chang stared at his eyebrows and paced, his steps looking messy.

Xia Yuan knew this, and the master's qi cultivation kung fu was broken.

"Could it be Souling Mountain? Is it from Suling Mountain? Whether the Great Immortal Court is true or false has not yet been known, do they really dare to tell the Great Immortal Court plan? ”

Qingyuan Dao Chang muttered.

After a long time, Qingyuan Daoist suddenly stopped, and said with a solemn face: "Song Zhen, I want to go out in the past two days, and after I leave, the Taoist temple will be closed temporarily, and I will focus on the Taibai Shenjun Temple in Yunmen Mountain!"

Create a golden talisman as soon as possible. ”

"Good!"

Xia Yuan blinked and touched the back of his head again.
