1. Start of trade (medium)

Although the city hall of the new Shanghai city has not yet been fully built, it is barely enough to greet the Emperor of the East China Sea. Han Wenzheng and Qiushui meet with the Emperor of the East Sea to discuss trade.

The Emperor of the East China Sea was very talkative: "Patriarch, I like the goods produced by your clan very much in the East China Sea, but I don't know if you Yanhuang Clan like the things produced in the East China Sea?" He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, at present, my Yanhuang clan does not have any special needs, but we are also very interested in the East China Sea, for example, all kinds of ores, as well as some special ores, etc., we are very needed, I will give you a map later, you can help me find these ores, I believe there should be a lot of ores on the bottom of the sea." ”

The Emperor of the East China Sea sighed in his heart, couldn't the dignified East China Sea find the things that the Yanhuang Clan needed except for ores? He didn't believe it, he took out a list and said, "Patriarch, this is something produced in the East China Sea, can you see what you need?" Han Wenzheng took it and looked at it, there were many things, pearls, agate, coral, materials on all kinds of marine demonic beasts, etc. are all very valuable things, but at this stage, the Yanhuang clan really doesn't need these things.

Qiushui said: "Your Majesty, in fact, we also need a lot of things from the East China Sea, such as this kind of seaweed called Golden Silk Seaweed, and this kind of seaweed called Qingyu Algae, as well as these things called jade, all of which we need very much, Your Majesty can provide us with a large number of things, no matter how many we want? ”

The Emperor of the East China Sea was stunned, he also knew this kind of golden silk seaweed, but there were many in the East China Sea, and he could find more than 10 million tons at will, and the growth was fast, a year down, I don't know how much Lu Dao would produce, I didn't think that the Yanhuang people would like these things, as for the green jade algae, although the output is much less than the golden silk seaweed, but it is still possible to plant one million tons a year, but these things will not be treasures, right? He asked: "Madam, what is the use of these things?"

Qiushui smiled and said: "These things are of little use to you in the East China Sea, but they are very useful after being purified by the special methods of my Yanhuang clan, as for what they are useful, I will not introduce them." The Emperor of the East China Sea also knew that the other party refused to say it, of course, this is a secret, no one will say it, he sighed lightly and said, "Then I won't ask anymore." "It's just that the depression in my heart is not to be mentioned. I have a treasure but I don't know the use of the treasure, this is the most depressing.

After the East China Sea Emperor said goodbye and left, Han Wenzheng asked strangely: "Shui'er, what is the use of this golden silk seaweed and green jade algae?" "It's not of great use, it's just that the golden silk seaweed can be refined into gold, which can be regarded as a special plant." Han Wenzheng was a little dazed: "You can't be joking when you refine the golden plant, right?"

Qiushui smiled and said: "Of course I'm not joking, you must know that there are all kinds of plants in the universe, and my sixth patriarch of the Yanhuang clan, Shennong, is a master of plants, he has grafted a lot of special plants, there is a plant called the steel tree is magical? This kind of golden silk seaweed is born with the ability, it will absorb the energy in the air, produce a special reaction in the body, generate gold, attach to the surface of the leaf, throw these seaweeds into the furnace, after the seaweed is burned, the rest is gold, purification is also very simple, of course, the yield is not very high, about a ton of golden silk seaweed can be purified out of a kilogram of gold. ”

Han Wenzheng was speechless, this is really amazing, the plants in the universe are really strange, he asked again: "What about the green jade algae, it can't be able to purify jade, right?" "You just think, there is such a cheap thing." Qiushui scolded with a smile, "Qingyuzao can be juiced from it, and what you get is a liquid called Azure Jade Juice, which has nothing special about this Azure Jade Juice, and has only one use, that is, it can increase the rate of alchemy." ”

Han Wenzheng almost choked to death from a sip of tea, he coughed violently a few times and hurriedly asked, "How much can you improve?" "It's not a lot, it's just one percent." "Han Wen is about to call the sky, Yicheng is not much, this is simply an anti-heaven treasure. He asked nervously again: "What is the proportion of Azure Jade Algae extracting Azure Jade Juice?" "It's not a lot, one ton can only extract three kilograms of Azure Jade Juice, and five hundred grams of Azure Jade Juice is used in a furnace of pills. ”

Alchemy is the ultimate mastery of the Yanhuang clan, non-disciples of the clan do not pass on, those who are not talented do not pass on, and those who do not have the right heart do not pass on, all because the science of alchemy really has the magic power against the sky, just imagine, an ordinary person, after taking a powerful pill, can have a strong ability, and a pill of poison can easily poison thousands of people, and can even slaughter the city and destroy the country, it can be said that alchemy is really terrible to the extreme, therefore, the Yanhuang clan has three rules that do not pass, no one dares to break this example for hundreds of millions of years.

Although alchemy is magical, it is not omnipotent, just like the problem of waste in alchemy, no one has been able to solve it for thousands of years, for example, a furnace of medicinal materials, if it can be turned into a hundred pills according to the conversion of energy, but even if it is a very clever alchemist, it is already a very great thing to be able to refine fifty pills, if you can refine sixty pills to be already a grandmaster-level alchemist, and the medicinal materials of fifty pills are wasted in vain, even the fourth patriarch Lao Tzu, who is known as the first in the universe in terms of alchemy ability, is only seventy percent of the energy of the medicinal materials, so, The Yanhuang clan tried their best to improve the success rate of alchemy, but the effect was very small, and only a few medicinal materials were found to have this effect, but now, Han Wenzheng suddenly heard that the azure jade juice had this miraculous effect, and it was strange that he was not frightened. You have to know that Yi Cheng doesn't sound like much, but if the number is huge, it is also a very amazing number, the number of alchemy pills of the Yanhuang clan in the heavenly realm is more than one billion pills every year, and if it is increased by one percent, it is also the number of 100 million pills, which is equivalent to increasing the amount of pill production by two percent, if the azure jade juice can be brought back to the heavenly realm, it will definitely not help the Yanhuang clan at all. It's just a pity, I can't take it back, but this alone also has countless benefits to the Yanhuang clan in the human world.

Han Wenzheng said: "I can't imagine that there is such a treasure in the East China Sea." "The ocean is a huge cornucopia of countless treasures. Since the Emperor of the East China Sea doesn't know the goods, we don't need to be polite to him, but let's give them a good price, don't take too much advantage of him. "Of course there's no problem with this, I still expect him to help me grow a lot of green jade algae?" Han Wenzheng snorted. The two husbands and wives looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Han Wenzheng ordered to post a list of more than two hundred special commodities before the exchange in the new Shanghai, all of which were purchase price lists of some valuable ores, the prices of these ores ranged from one hundred gold coins to ten thousand gold coins, in short, they hoped to use the power of the East China Sea Sea Clan to find more high-grade raw materials, the Yan Huang Clan now has limited manpower, even if they know that the new earth of the Lu Dao is full of good raw materials, they don't have the strength to find them, if they can find them with some money, then of course it is the best thing.

After nearly a year of preparation, the mint was finally built, a very large building, covering an area of 1,500 square meters, 15 floors high, from the appearance of the ancient Chinese palace-like structure, beautiful, the production of the mint does not need to be managed, as long as the gold and silver and other precious metals are all put into the warehouse on the second floor, and then determine the production, and after a certain period of time, you can get gold coins and silver coins and other currencies from the warehouse on the first floor.

There are two modes of producing money, one is to produce 20,000 gold coins per ton of gold, each weighing 20 grams, without consuming energy. The other is that one ton of gold produces 40,000 gold coins, which requires the energy of 1 crystal, so to speak, this mint is extremely dark, Han Wenzheng of course chooses the first one, no additional energy consumption, as for gold, that is not the most important.

For the choice of currency design, there are many opinions, some propose to use the ancient Great Wall of China as the main pattern, some propose to use the "Wangfei Bridge" as the main pattern, some propose to use the Three Gorges as the main pattern, and some propose the Forbidden City, etc., Han Wenzheng thought about it again and again, or decided to use the Three Gorges Dam in the Three Gorges as the main pattern, and the other side is to use the number to represent the value of the currency.

The gold coins produced are very exquisite, it can be said that it has reached the point of ingenuity, the mint is a little dark, but the quality is nothing, Han Wenzheng has nothing to say about it, the currency has finally stepped onto the stage of history, but then there is another question: "Shui'er, I used to read some time-traveling novels in the Earth Age, which said that there is a magic card, which can be used as a bank card, can you design it?"

Qiushui thought for a moment and said, "I can't design a magic card, but if it's a fairy card, I have a way." Han Wenzheng was overjoyed and said, "Let's hear it." "The immortal card, in fact, is a card-shaped storage tool refined by refining magic weapons, mainly after people drip blood to recognize the master, they can be used, there is a virtual screen, you can use consciousness to replace the information in it, however, you need to be equipped with a series of tools to be able to use, and you can't use it directly, these supporting tools can also be manufactured, just like the ATM of the bank in the age of the earth, which can be stored and traded, but you can't take out gold coins. "This immortal card doesn't need to consume too many precious materials, right?" This is the problem that Han Wenzheng is most concerned about.

Qiushui said: "This is not necessary, refining immortal cards is a very ordinary material, the cost is not high, and the matching immortal card machine produced is also very ordinary, of course, the things refined by our Yanhuang clan's method of refining magic weapons cannot be read and cracked by foreign races, and the security is also guaranteed, husband, are you sure you need to produce?" "Of course we need it, it's just, Shui'er, we may produce a lot of quantities, can you produce so many?" "This is not difficult." "Let's just produce, I'll call it Longka. ”
