"I'm not angry, but calmly strive for the greatest interests, they gave me a chance to meddle in Phoenix Continent, I don't take it, that's not sorry for myself. Wang Qinian was thinking about how much income he had this time, whether he should dump some products, first military products, and then industrial and handicraft products into this place.
Xiaoshuang saw Wang Qinian's eyes shining, and couldn't help asking, "What bad idea do you have?"
"Nothing, I think about the current military industry in Yi'an, agriculture can not be lost, industry is not developed enough, it seems that we must vigorously develop industry, combined with commerce, should use machinery and equipment to complete industrialization, the textile industry listens to the claw said that it is better, there is a surplus of production capacity, at present cloth to be exported, other industries have just started, Yi'an has few people, only more than one million people, I don't know if there is an increase now. Wang Qinian said.
"Your thinking is really jumping. Xiaoshuang didn't react, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Wang Qinian's thinking.
Tina reacted, "You want to sell cloth and stuff here?"
"Yes, the present era will usher in a global era, products will appear like fountains, and then whoever occupies the market will have the final say, and the army will have to serve this purpose, and in this tide, people have not yet realized this, I have taken the lead, a new style will appear, the rule of the aristocracy will collapse, religion, especially the monotheism of Tessy and New Munsi, will also be impacted, and we have to face the reality, in this tide, we have to lead the trend. In accordance with the will of the people, I feel that my path has been shown, I understand that faith is not the only one, this is also a kind of faith, and I may take advantage of this wave to become a god. Wang Qinian had a flash of inspiration, and it seemed that a bright future was in front of him.
"Lich, you've figured out your path, and my little pair has already booked it. I do the archangels. Angel Xiaoshuang!" "Xiaoshuang jumped and flew up.
As soon as Wang Qinian stretched out his hand, a gravitational force came from his palm, pulling Xiaoshuang down, and Xiaoshuang sat on his shoulder: "I just saw the way." Didn't feel how to do it. It's still early. ”
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you're a lich and a legendary mage, so you'll have a long lifespan. But what about Sister Tina?" Xiaoshuang suddenly remembered Tina.
"It doesn't matter, I have obtained the formula of the Philosopher's Stone, it is still easy to use the power of a country to collect materials, Tina is still very young, and when I refine the Philosopher's Stone, she will be immortal. Wang Qinian obviously had a plan.
He has long been collecting the philosopher's stone formula and establishing a country, one of which has a purpose, which is to collect materials for himself, at first he didn't think of becoming a god, but the road came over, he found that becoming a god seems to be good, but he is a little afraid in his heart, he is afraid that after becoming a god, he will lose his personality, so he transferred the power of faith to Xiaoshuang.
After communicating with Houtu, he consumed this scruple because he had found a way, and although he could not see it clearly, the road had already been stepped on.
They returned to the ship, and the two sailors had returned, followed by a group of porters, carrying a thousand pounds of light stones to the ship.
They paid, the porter dispersed, and after a while Opipus came, and Wang Qinian took him to the ship, and as soon as he got on the boat, he was amazed, especially when he saw the sailors' guns and knives, and his eyes showed an eager light.
The boat traveled along the coast, under the leadership of Opipus, for more than ten days, and the shore gradually turned into a cliff, and there were obviously no people here, and after a few days, the terrain began to flatten, and the Gobi Desert began to appear, and the cacti began to multiply, and they grew very tall.
As the boat went on, there was greenery in front of it, and a great river flowed out of the desert and into the ocean, and Opopus said: "It is an intermittent river, which can only be seen during the two months of this time of year, and many explorers do not know that there is a river in the desert." ”
The boat was docked at the river, and several small boats had sailed out of the upper stream, apparently having been waiting here for several days, the river was not deep or too large for the Modesti to enter, and the people on the boat were tanned by the sun, and were basically wearing only trousers, and they were strong, and they rowed the boat to the side of the Modesti.
When Opepus saw them, he cried out for joy, and waved his hand hurriedly, and the natives cheered.
The boat stopped beside the big boat, and Opepus said, "Distinguished guests, please come aboard." ”
Wang Qinian commanded, took Xiaoshuang and two guards on the boat, the boat began to go to the depths of the desert, less than half an hour, an oasis appeared in front of it, the water surface also opened, on the shore, the native boys and girls danced a dance, welcoming Wang Qinian's arrival.
An old man with the appearance of an elder, there were several people standing beside him, one of them was wearing a feather crown on his head, they were all barefoot, and the skin on his body was brown, and when he saw Wang Qinian's arrival, the old man held a bowl of wine and said: "The eagle flying in the sky, the distinguished guest of the Taya tribe, you are like an eagle soaring in the sky, like a dazzling rainbow in the sky, come here with friendship and enthusiasm, please dry this bowl of wine first." ”
Although Wang Qinian had never encountered it, he also knew that this was a kind of etiquette, so he stepped forward to take the wine bowl, raised his head, and drank the wine bowl dry: "Thank you for the enthusiasm of the elders and the Taya tribe, I am here for our friendship." ”
The old man laughed, "I am the sorcerer of the tribe, Supacher, and this is our chieftain Vatana. ”
Wang Qinian greeted them with a smile, and the three of them walked in front, followed by the others, and walked into a hall made of grass huts.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that you have the intention to buy our Ground Light Stone?"
"Yes, the Earth Light Stone is a magic material, not only do I buy it, what else do you have here, I want to take a look, maybe we can work together. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
Chief Vatana signaled, several natives held a plate made of wood, on the plate were placed crystal, chloris lazuli, lapis lazuli and a plant seed, the plant seed is like a dark red gem, which contains magical energy, but it is the energy of fire and earth attributes, Wang Qinian looked at the crystal first, and he found that it was actually a magic crystal, a substance that can amplify spiritual power, and the two plates of green lazuli and lapis lazuli are both magical substances and conventional substances.
The plate was dark red, and Wang Qinian felt that it was from the same race as the plant seeds.
They watched Wang Qinian pick up these substances separately, sensed them, and put them down again, saying: "These items are good, are there any more, this wooden plate is good, what kind of tree is it made of?"
"It's made of blood-exhausted wood, and the plant seeds you see are the ones that bear on it, and we call them blood-exhausted seeds. ”
"I want all of these, how many of you have?"
"We have mined well, there are more than 500 catties of light stone, about 100 catties of crystal, there are not many green lazuli and green stone, only more than 20 catties, we have collected more than 200 catties of blood, but there are not many blood-exhausted wood, there are only three complete ones, we have not mined more, after all, we can't sell it, there are many underground. Sorcerer Supacher said.
"I want all of these, what do you say for a price?" Wang Qinian said, but the little pair on his shoulders looked around with his eyes open.
"Can you get some arms or something?"
"We don't have arms on board, I have some on me, but not much, but they are all high-quality products, and the price is relatively expensive. Wang Qinian said.
"How many you have, we want them all. Chief Vatana said.
"I have some cold weapons, but I don't have hot weapons with me. Wang Qinian said.
"Cold weapons are cold weapons, you must know that we are amateurs in iron smelting, and we are not afraid of your jokes, many soldiers still use bone weapons. The chief said.
The weapons on Wang Qinian's body are actually the war knives he refined on a whim, and he was also refined when he was a pirate at sea, and there were forty or fifty more, and later, the establishment of the Yi'an State, although the army used his blade, but it was all unified industrial production, Wang Qinian forgot about it, and today I think about it, there are still a few handguns, but they are front-loading guns.
Anyway, his storage space is extremely large, and he put it in it for a while, but now that he thinks about it, he says it, and sees that the other party is very thirsty for metal blades, he doesn't know, it is Daxia, and they are also controlled by strategic materials, and they really want to get these metal weapons.
He took out his swords from the rings, one of which was about two cubits long, that is, more than three feet, and glittered with cold light, forty-six of them, and a few firearms, but not much gunpowder.
As soon as the knife appeared, the chief's eyes lit up, and he picked up a knife, although it was not a magic item, it was also thick and sharp, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the corner of the table in front of him was cut off.
"How much does a knife cost?"
"A piece of crystal or a handful of lazuli. Wang Qilai opened his mouth widely.
"Okay, it's up to you, these three seem to be firearms, how to use them? I've seen the Great Xia army use them, and with a bang, a cloud of smoke came out, and one person fell to the ground. The chief said.
Wang Qinian couldn't help but regret it in his heart, he had known that it was higher, but that's it, he made a lot of money, seeing him ask about the firecracker, he smiled and loaded gunpowder and projectiles, aimed at a small stone outside, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the stone was blasted.
The chief's eyes lit up: "This is what you call a thermal weapon?"
"Yes, these guns are just short guns, the range is very short, as long as the hand is lightly clasped, you can kill, but you need gunpowder and projectiles. Wang Qinian said.
"How much does it cost?"
"It's the same price as a sword. Wang Qinian said.
They were bargaining for a price, and just then, a native face came in anxiously and said to the chief, "Chief, we have found the scorpion, several dozen in all, heading towards our oasis. (To be continued......)
