Chapter 235: Economic Secret War

Ye Xing pretended to be a young warrior with a long sword on his back, or a scholar with a polite manner, a day later, he came to Tianjing City, entered the city from the West Second Gate, and there was no obstruction, and when he entered the city, he saw that the time was still early, and he was not in a hurry to stay, so he went to Fang City first.

The outer city of Tianjing City, making full use of the natural space, the buildings are scattered, criss-crossing the streets, forming a huge city, but also according to the social class, various functional zoning, commercial buildings, residential buildings form a sharp contrast.

The inner and outer city is separated by a surrounding river, and there are only nine bridges in the middle, all of which are guarded by masters and formations, and ordinary people do not enter the inner city at all, Xiao Jingchen is already the fourth layer of the martial king, and he is not qualified to live in it, so he is not allowed to enter it.

The inner city is actually a number of manor-style buildings built at the foot of the three peaks, all of which are inhabited by high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, monks who have cultivated above the Jindan realm, and distant relatives of the royal family, that is, people of high status in the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial city is on top of the three mountain peaks, and it is also where the imperial palace is located, all of which are directly related to the royal family, as well as the place where the extremely important figures of the Li family live, in addition to the imperial palace, it is the secret place of cultivation, because it is the place where the aura is the strongest, and it is said that it is still arranged with a powerful formation.

It is said that the two ancestors of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty are on the mountain, and for the safety of the Li family and the protection of the Tang Dynasty, only one ancestor is in retreat, always keeping a person in a state of sobriety, with his powerful divine sense, always paying attention to the imperial city, and even the inner city.

As for the outer city, it's too big, and there are too many people, although the ancestor of the Yuan Infant Stage, although it can also be covered by divine sense, but if you scan them one by one, it will be too consuming of divine sense, and it is completely unnecessary, and it is estimated that it is not enough.

In addition to the residences and gardens in the outer city, it is the Fang City, there are 108 Fang City in total, the city is prosperous, the temple mansion is uneven, the street is wide, and the flow of people is like weaving.

The so-called Fang Market is actually an area where the industry is concentrated, such as Ye Xing's drug market now, it is an area where thousands of medicine shops are concentrated, of course, there are also medicine shops in other places, but most of them are concentrated near the West Second Gate, and they become a city, which is what it means.

Ye Xing himself is a great master of alchemy, and when he came to the medicine market, of course, he didn't want to buy pills, but in fact, he purely came to investigate, to see the level of alchemy in the Tang Empire.

Entering and exiting from one large pharmacy after another, Ye Xing is also quite recognized, Datang's medical level is very high, there are various grades of drugs, and they are quite rich.

It just surprised Ye Xing, there are all kinds of conventional medicines produced in Tianxing Kingdom, such as finished packaged drugs for the treatment of trauma and wind cold, which are completely different from the jade bottles stored in Datang, but are packaged in plastic, and the packaging box is in very small fonts in Song and Tang respectively, indicating the corresponding treatment of the disease, and the price is quite cheap.

Dozens of pharmaceutical companies in Tianxing Country have industrialized the production of a large number of drugs for daily use, and it can be said that they have accounted for more than ninety percent of the medicines needed by ordinary civilians.

This is the extraordinary thing about industrial civilization, and in just a few decades, Datang's pharmaceuticals have become aristocratic, and all the commoners use the drugs produced by the Tianxing Kingdom, and even the nobles trust the products of the Tianxing Kingdom more for common diseases.

In fact, it is also inevitable, because the development of medical science and technology in the Heavenly Star Kingdom has abandoned the tradition that has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and has begun to understand the human body in an empirical way, rather than imagination and reasoning, and the conventional drugs produced are directly symptomatic.

The most important thing is that the medicine of the Celestial Star Kingdom is no longer a traditional method of medicine, but a purely targeted pharmacology after analyzing the active ingredients and refining them.

For ordinary people, the most important thing is to solve the physical ailments immediately, and they have also accepted the new ideas from the Celestial Star Kingdom, rather than any conditioning or some mysterious divine blessing.

Ye Xing also heard that the countless small pharmacies in Datang had closed down, and there was no market for self-medicine at all, and Tianxing Kingdom was relatively cheap, rich in variety, and all kinds of drugs for symptomatic treatment were sold by large pharmacies, which had made it impossible for small pharmacies to survive.

Ye Xing also found a few medical-related books in the medicine market, and what was surprising was that many of them were written in Song Wen, which were exquisite books printed by Tianxing Kingdom, but the books produced by Datang were extremely rough and blurry, and there was a huge difference between the level and the level.

Leaving the medicine market and coming to the grocery market next to it, Ye Xing of course didn't buy anything, just to shop, and what surprised Ye Xing even more was that all kinds of items in the grocery market, knives, farm tools, and household tableware were all produced by the Tianxing Kingdom with the logo.

According to the introduction of a small grocery store owner, in fact, in the big cities and towns of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of products produced in the Tianxing Kingdom are of high quality and low price, and they have occupied all the markets.

Under Ye Xing's inquiry, he learned that more than ninety percent of the various daily utensils in the market, even the smallest fruit knives, cutlery and plates, are basically from Tianxing Kingdom, and the handicraftsmen of Datang are all unemployed at all, and it is said that a large number of such handicraftsmen are secretly going to immigrate to Tianxing Country to become workers.

Now all the small items used by the residents in their daily lives are basically replaced by cheap products from the Tianxing Kingdom, and the people who sell these products are all large merchants, and the countless civilians in the outer city can no longer live, and all of them have left Tianjing City.

Because the Tang Dynasty is privately owned, the residents of the outer cities do not have their own land, so many civilians cannot survive in the town, and generally go to more remote places, or move their families to the Celestial Star Country.

Now the houses in the outer city of Tianjing City, to be honest, are no longer common people can live, all of them are merchants, the fang market is indeed still lively, but they are all temporary outsiders, the huge outer city, all of them have become commercial places, and countless kinds of medium and large shops and fang markets have been opened, and more than ninety percent of the sales are produced by Tianxing Kingdom.

Ye Xing also learned that the food produced by Tianxing Country now occupies the dining table of ordinary people, because Tianxing Country was originally the most suitable place for the growth of staple food in the world, and now it uses the means of scientific and technological agriculture, and the output is huge, and now a large number of exports are exported to dozens of neighboring countries, in addition to good quality, it is also relatively cheap.

And countless kinds of non-staple foods produced in Tianxing Country, such as preserved fruits and biscuits, occupy all the markets, because there are glass bottles or protective packaging boxes, which are clean and hygienic and delicious.

Of course, these are a little far away from the common people, and the price is still a bit high, so you can only eat them occasionally, and you still have to think for a long time before you can make up your mind.

Now, no matter who is in the middle and lower classes of Datang, they are thinking about enjoying the high-quality products of the Tianxing Kingdom, but the poor civilians are more miserable, because the handicraft industry used to be their means of survival, but now it is all gone.

Ye Xing laughed in his heart, the high-level of the Tang Empire has been indulging in arrogance and illusion, and they don't know at all that in fact, all the commodities of the Tang Dynasty have no room for survival at all under the dumping of industrialized and standardized production of Tianxing Kingdom products, and countless amounts of silver have flowed to the neighboring countries in the east like flowing water.

Of course, the high-level and people of the Tang Empire still don't understand that the Celestial Star Kingdom has started an economic secret war many years ago, and now it has destroyed all the daily production of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, while the high-level people are willing to enjoy all kinds of novel and high-priced commodities that are incomparable in the Celestial Star Kingdom.

Datang is a country of cultivation, most people are addicted to their own cultivation, including the Li family, the royal family of the rulers, who do not care about the survival of ordinary people at all, and they don't care about their life or death at all.

The economic warfare formulated by Ye Xing back then was used extremely skillfully and secretly by the high-level of the Tianxing Kingdom, and the most terrifying thing was that in the outer city of Tianjing City, the Tianxing coin had been widely circulated, and it was more credible and reliable than the silver tickets of the Datang Great Merchants, and it was no different from silver at all.

However, no one in the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty and the people knew what this meant at all, and the huge number of minds in the inner city and the imperial city, who were detached from the ordinary people, could not understand what this would be.

The Tang Empire has always been strong, and it is still very strong, but it is extremely difficult for more than ninety percent of ordinary people to survive, and they are displaced everywhere, but the high-level people turn a blind eye, because no one dares to resist, a high-level monk can kill thousands of ordinary people in an instant.
