Chapter 050: The General Trend of the Song Kingdom
The next day, Ye Xing returned to the city and discussed in detail with the master about the transfer of textile technology.
Li Xuantong didn't understand, "You have worked very hard to develop new textile technology, and now is the time to make a lot of money, why don't you do it yourself, but transfer it?" ”
Ye Xing said, "Master, have you thought about it, if I do it alone, first, it is not big, and secondly, it is memorable, so what is the use of Donghai County?" If several companies are transferred to do textiles at the same time, this is the most developed place for sea canal transportation, then it will immediately make Donghai the textile center of the Song Kingdom, and even the textile center of the world. In this way, Tokai County immediately had an endless source of taxes. ”
"The new textile equipment is built by us, so this equipment technology is in my hands and can only be purchased from me."
"I'm at the mercy of the price of the equipment. The equipment needs to be repaired, then only my people can be invited. Textile technology began to need guidance, so I had to hire someone with a high salary. Then the core of the technology is in my hands, and I don't care about the sales of the cloth, but I always enjoy the benefits. ”
"I'm going to develop new ships that can be driven by machinery, so that the East China Sea will become a shipbuilding center, a shipping center. Textiles are ultimately to be sold, and they have to be shipped. The key technology of shipping is all in my hands, which is another financial route. Shipbuilding will become a new industry in the East China Sea, and this is a never-ending business. ”
"Navigation will definitely need security, our city guard can be put into use immediately, set up a security team, provide services for the Chamber of Commerce, charge a certain fee, we immediately expand the army, Tibetan army in the people, with the people to support the army, immediately can expand the army ten times without any cost."
"These core technologies are in our hands, but we can't do them all, we must join hands with people, let people benefit, in order to become bigger and stronger, and we are hidden behind, not from people's attention, and its benefits are not harmed. Therefore, let the master choose the partners to work with, preferably with big forces with backgrounds, and they will all benefit, so that Donghai County will become a place that everyone has to protect. And the Qingyun Sect would actually be more advantageous. ”
The last sentence was deliberately added by Ye Xing, because Ye Xing knew that Li Xuantong had grown up in the sect since he was a child, and he was extremely protective of the sect, as long as it was beneficial to the sect in the end, he would definitely agree in the end. After all, Donghai County is at least the territory of the Qingyun Sect, and half of the income is from the sect.
Li Xuantong nodded, "I completely understand." In Donghai City, there are all the major forces, as far as I know, our Qingyun Sect is friendly with the Baji Sect and the Elixir Sect, and has a close relationship with the Song family of the clan, so we must do it with them, and don't leave any of them behind. ”
"There is no conflict with the Holy Spirit Sect, but it is better not to cooperate with them when it comes to the aspects involved in business. The Purple Moon Sect has nothing to do with us, and it doesn't exist much in the world. The Holy Spirit Sect, the Spirit Beast Sect, the Sword God Villa, and the Phoenix Villa are all radical people, so try not to enter their industry first. ”
Ye Xing frowned and said, "I don't know what industries they are involved in in the East China Sea?" ”
Li Xuantong said, "Textile, shipbuilding, and shipping are now not in conflict with any forces, and they can be regarded as new industries." Qingyun Sect and Purple Moon Sect are basically cultivators, not involved in too many secular industries, and some are also secret, and there is no overt appearance, and the main income comes from half of the taxes of the counties under their control. The Qingyun Sect and the Purple Moon Sect each control 4 counties. ”
"The Song family of the clan is in charge of the Song Kingdom, so the children basically do not participate in business, and all serve as treasury officials in various places. There are also 4 counties, including the national capital Daliang City, a total of 9 counties, which are under the control of the Song family. ”
"The Elixir Sect occupies the industry of herbal medicine, alchemy, and medical treatment, and all such transactions in the Song Kingdom are under its control. The 3 counties in the Central Plains of the Song Kingdom are the most abundant places, and they are all under the control of the Elixir Gate. ”
"Bajimen is engaged in all kinds of restaurants, winemaking, wine selling, casinos, every township in the Song Kingdom has its power, and there are some black secret transactions. also controlled 1 county where the Eight Extremes Gate sect was located. ”
"The Holy Spirit Sect is known as the Demon Sect, no matter what industry it is, it has its shadow, it is not visible, it is all underwater. Bandits, pirates, casinos, and flower buildings are mostly involved. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Sect is also the de facto lord of the 6 counties in the northwest, just because of the powerful power behind the Song family, otherwise it would have become an independent country long ago. ”
"It is also because the Tang Empire outside the northwest is extremely powerful, which also makes it dare not establish a country. In fact, the force behind the Holy Spirit Sect should be the Tang Dynasty. ”
"There are 4 counties in charge of the Spirit Beast Gate, and 3 counties are in the north, adjacent to the Great Yuan Empire, mainly engaged in cattle trafficking, horses, and sheep, and there is a shadow of the Spirit Beast Gate behind all such industries. The Yunhu County north of the Ziyun Mountains in Donghai County is also controlled by them, and behind them is the Great Yuan Empire. Of course, there is the strongest guard of the Song Kingdom stationed in the north, so the Spirit Beast Gate only controls this area, but it does not dare to come nonsense. ”
"The Sword God Villa occupies a county in the middle of the Song Kingdom, and it is not too obvious that it is engaged in any industry, and it is rumored that many killers are from the Sword God Villa. Phoenix Villa also occupies a county in the central part of the Song Kingdom, where various top-quality jade are produced, and the jewelry and jade produced in Phoenix County are the most favorite items of women. ”
"The two counties are adjacent to each other, so they are closely related, they are semi-allied, and they are in the middle of the Song Kingdom, and there is basically no influence from foreign forces."
Ye Xing asked, "Which 4 counties does our Qingyun Sect control?" Li Xuanzong said, "Qingyun County, where Qingyun Mountain is located, is the Donghai County in the south, and Ningyuan County and Dongyuan County in the north. Only Tokai County is a land of abundance, and the other three counties are all barren. Therefore, the sect attaches great importance to Donghai County. ”
Ye Xing said, "If textile, shipbuilding, and shipping are still industries that no forces pay attention to, we Qingyunzong can operate exclusively, but if we don't have management talents, it's useless, if possible, we just have technology shares, and the core things are in hand, let other forces operate, and we only do dividends, so that they can be tied to us." I just wonder if the sect will have an opinion?"
Li Xuantong thought for a moment and said, "The sect has no management talents at all, and I think you are the only genius in this regard." I fully understand what you mean, but, yours is your personal, not the sect's, if you are included in the sect, there will be countless troubles in the future, and you can't explain it clearly. You just do it, and Tokai County can collect taxes. ”
Li Xuantong's face turned gloomy, "Although the sect master trusts me, this position is actually coveted by many people. I can't promise what will happen in the future. You and I are masters and apprentices, but others are not necessarily, if I change my hostile side in the sect to take charge of this county, I will definitely suppress you in the future. ”
Ye Xing said worriedly, "Master, could it be that the sect's vision is so short-sighted?" ”
Li Xuantong said, "After you worshipped me as a teacher, I never wanted you to enter the sect to cultivate, so I asked you to stay away from the center of the battle in the name of training a new army here." I know that the people in the sect, countless people are coveting the interests here. Countless people are behind the scenes trying to take my place now. ”
"Master, what's going on with the sect?" , Ye Xing thought for a while and asked.
Li Xuantong said, "Your skill is too low now, the first thing is to break through the innate nature, don't pay attention to other things!" Your business, take your time and don't rush it. We must have strength in order to develop vigorously. You take it one step at a time, as long as I'm still here, no one can bully my apprentice. ”
Li Xuantong looked at Ye Xing a little confused, and explained, "For hundreds of years, the Qingyun Sect has not stopped fighting, and its strength has decreased a lot instead of increasing, and the ability of the sect masters in recent years is not outstanding, and they have been restrained by the elders of several factions in the sect, so if it goes on like this, it will definitely not be good!" You're just my disciple, not a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, understand! ”
Ye Xing looked at the master gratefully, and now he fully understood what the master meant.
Li Xuantong patted Ye Xing's head and said, "You are my only disciple, and the master has no marriage and descendants, your business is my business!" Elder Lin didn't declare you as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect either."
Li Xuantong meant that Ye Xing was his personal disciple, not a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and what Ye Xing did did not represent the Qingyun Sect or serve the Qingyun Sect.
Sure enough, the master, who grew up in the Qingyun Sect since he was a child, was actually not optimistic about the future of the sect, and he didn't want Ye Xing to be involved, he only wanted the apprentice to be a person without a sect.
Accepting individual disciples like Li Xuantong is not a case of sect disciples, and it is not very special, in fact, as long as the resources of the sect are not used.
This can also be determined that Li Xuantong really loves this disciple and doesn't want Ye Xing to fall into unpredictable things, and even Ye Xing is not in the list of disciples of Qingyun Sect at all.
