Chapter 604

Now Qin Yue can be regarded as taking a shortcut, accumulating a large amount of wealth through sea trade. By the time these giant chambers of commerce reacted, it was already too late.

The Western Song Dynasty can be said to be a commercial power now, and Xizhou, where the Western Qin is located, is certainly an important market for the Western Song Chamber of Commerce. But those merchants in the Western Song Dynasty knew in their hearts that only thirty percent of the market in the Western Song Dynasty was in Xizhou, where the Western Song Dynasty was located, and seventy percent was in the other four states.

The reason why this situation can be caused is entirely because the Western Song Dynasty has reached a perverted sea trade, and in terms of sea trade, only the Western Song Dynasty, and the Northern Yan, which is far away, can catch up with the Western Song Dynasty a little.

But Beiyan is just transporting goods from Beizhou to Xizhou, which is harmless for the entire Western Song Dynasty.

But Qin Yue is different, Qin Shuang knows very well that Qin Yue, once he makes a move, he is definitely the kind of killer. If he is allowed to play sea trade, it is estimated that the first one will be to use the Western Song Dynasty to open the knife.

And Qin Shuang had already guessed where Qin Yue was going to start, the first port was in Western Qin, but the second port was the grassland.

Before, the Shadow Chamber of Commerce had sent people to the grassland, but I don't know what happened now.

Qin Yue knew Qin Shuang's thoughts, and he might laugh out loud, after all, he had never sent anyone to the grassland, and in his opinion, there was no money to be made in a place like the grassland.

But if Lan Zhanhe knew Qin Shuang's thoughts, then a cold sweat would break out from his back.

The idea of a shortcut to sea trade was the one he came up with. After all, once as the big treasurer of the Lan Chamber of Commerce, he knew very well how difficult it was to grab a certain market share from those big business tycoons.

Without enough funds, this game is really not playable, but now there is a shortcut to take, and that is sea trade.

As long as the sea trade is opened, then the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will have enough funds to encroach on the domestic share of Western Qin, and it can even be said that they can no longer look down on the domestic share of Western Qin.

And in this process, the most important step is to directly open the sea channel, the passage to the grassland.

This place in the grassland, in the eyes of the Western Qin, Western Song Dynasty, and Southern Tang Dynasty, is a tasteless food and a pity to abandon it. After all, this place is a good grazing area, but the area is too large, and it is impossible to build a city on it.

And the herders are completely in a state of wandering, and when the grass in one pasture is gone, they will go to the next.

For the three dynasties in the agrarian society, such a place is simply difficult to control. So up to now, the way that the three dynasties have thought of is to slowly encroach.

However, it often takes three or five years to build a city, and in three or five years, a large army must be sent to garrison it.

The Western Song Dynasty had suffered losses before, and the cities that had just been built were robbed by the cavalry on the grassland not long after, and now these cities have become the passes of the grassland to deal with the Western Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the attitude of various countries towards the grasslands after that was the salt and iron embargo.

This attitude directly stifles the possibility of the rise of various tribes in the grassland. Without salt, the human body will lack strength, and without iron, let alone building iron weapons, even building iron pots will become a luxury.

Qin Yue didn't mind breaking the salt and iron embargo regulations, after all, only Western Qin did not ban this matter.

Because of the status of the border between Western Qin and the grassland, there are not very many. Moreover, it has been developed into a vassal state by Western Qin, and if necessary, a large area will instantly become part of Western Qin's territory. Then Western Qin would use this place as a pedal and directly attack the grassland.

This pedal is what the predecessor and the former King of Western Qin have been working hard to make. Now, Ying Xiaoyue, who is sitting on the throne, is also very aware of the importance of this pedal.

And Qin Yue, what he has to do is to deliver the necessary materials to the grassland. Naturally, it is impossible for the materials transported by a chamber of commerce to make the grassland rebel, after all, even if the sea trade is counted back and forth, it is two trips a year, that is, four times passing through the port of the grassland.

If in this case, the patriarchs of the various tribes in the grassland can grit their teeth and save the materials for the rebellion, then Qin Yue feels that the people on this grassland are really fierce.

However, there is zero chance of this happening, and if the steppes are really ready to start a rebellion, the first thing to solve is the problem of civil war. After all, there are various tribes of all sizes on it, and it can be said that there are many mountains.

The second is to harass the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty, and harassing the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty is what the Western Qin is willing to see, because this means that the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty must put a large part of their troops around the grassland, help the troops at the border gates, and prevent rebellion on the grassland.

As for harassing the Western Song Dynasty...... Qin Yue was more willing to see it.

Because on the grassland, the salt and iron that can still sustain life are all brought over by those smugglers in the Western Song Dynasty.

These businessmen are willing to do anything for the sake of profit. The reason why the officials of the Western Song Dynasty didn't care was entirely because the grassland was quite peaceful now, and since it was too peaceful, it was the time to get the money.

But once a rebellion breaks out on the grassland, the consequences of these violations of the ban on salt and iron will fall on themselves, and such serious consequences, even if they have money, they are not willing to bear it.

Therefore, when the time comes, the trade of the Western Song Dynasty to the grassland will further shrink, and on the side of maritime trade, the Shadow Chamber of Commerce can naturally increase the share of trade. The best of both worlds, that's what I said.

It's just that Qin Yue himself doesn't know if he did it.

Now what he has to face is this terrifying thunder tribulation, if he can't even survive the thunder tribulation, then everything is false.

The third thunderbolt came as scheduled, and at this time, the second layer of the tortoiseshell shield's illusory shield didn't last long at all, and it was directly shattered, and then, the third side, the fourth side, at this moment, the four illusory shields of the tortoiseshell shield had been completely shattered.

"This is a spiritual weapon at the pinnacle of the human level, what is the Heavenly Tribulation you are facing?" Looking at the shield that was directly bombarded into slag, Ye Yingyao's heart was also a little scared.

"I'll leave this shield to you to repair," directly throwing the shield to Ye Yingyao, Qin Yue took out another tower shield.

This tortoiseshell shield, if you continue to use it, you can continue to block two thunderbolts. But Qin Yue didn't want this powerful defensive spirit weapon to be wasted for himself like this.

The moment Ye Yingyao took the shield, the moment her white fingers touched the shield, they instantly became charred, and the ghost qi inside even escaped.

"Fortunately, you took this shield down in time, if it was a little later, this shield would be completely hopeless. Looking at the shield in her hand, Ye Yingyao didn't feel any pain.

"The kernel in this has been infected by lightning, do you think there is still salvation?" Qin Yue also knew the state of the tortoiseshell shield, so he took down the tortoiseshell shield in advance.

It's just that he thinks that the tortoiseshell shield can only be repaired, and it can be regarded as completely abolished.

The problem is not very big, and even this time it can be re-forged with a thunder shield, Ye Yingyao said with great confidence.

This kind of spiritual weapon that survives from the west under the heavenly tribulation is equivalent to experiencing a heavenly tribulation, as long as it is cultivated with heart, it may be possible to recreate a spiritual weapon that is no less than the Xuan Rank. These spiritual weapons, in essence, are spiritual weapons that have survived the catastrophe.

If a person survives the catastrophe, his strength will rise to a higher level, and the same is true for spiritual weapons.

And at this time, the fourth Heavenly Tribulation also appeared, and at this time, a headless demon instantly appeared on the Ghost Face Tower Shield. This evil ghost directly wielded a mace, completely shattering this heavenly calamity.

"This Xuan-level defensive spirit weapon is different, I didn't expect that the weapon spirit can still attack. Qin Yue sighed and increased the output of spiritual power.

In this sky, thunder and lightning are like small insects, constantly being defeated by the Ghost Face Tower Shield.

Four thunderbolts were defeated in a row, and at this time, the Ghost Face Tower Shield suddenly collapsed. At the same time, Qin Yue, who was manipulating the Ghost Face Tower Shield, also spit out a mouthful of blood, feeling the power of thunder and lightning surging in his body, and his face changed suddenly.

Looking at the eighth and ninth thunderbolts in the sky, he slapped the ground directly, and nine hundred and ninety-nine spirit swords gathered in an instant, and a huge spirit sword sword qi directly slashed the two thunderbolts, instantly slashing into the clouds.

After doing all this, the Heavenly Tribulation could be regarded as stopping for a while, and at this time, the palace in the Cloud Tribulation had an extra trace of being slashed, but it was very faint.

After these nine hundred and ninety-nine spirit swords returned to their positions, the spirit stones placed beside them dimmed in an instant. At this time, there was a hunting sound inside the spirit flag, and many ghost servants appeared, replacing all these spirit stones, and they were busy for a while.

Qin Yue has no time to take care of him, the ghost face tower shield is fine, but the core of the ghost face tower shield is actually all the thunder and lightning power he has received is fed back into Qin Yue's own body.

Originally, this was nothing, after all, his strength had not yet reached the point of manipulating Xuan-level spiritual weapons. This level of backlash is already considered light. But the problem is that Qin Yue's physical fitness originally didn't react, but after being stimulated by the Heavenly Tribulation, this time has been long, and the spiritual power is not running smoothly.

Fortunately, the spiritual power of the Nine Heavens Palace is strong enough, and the spiritual power brought by these heavenly tribulations has only one consequence, and that is surrender. After a big Zhou Tian operation, all these spiritual powers became Qin Yue's own, and the momentum on his body strengthened a little.

"This guy is really a monster, who can survive the catastrophe as luxuriously as him. Qin Shuang admitted that he was a little red-eyed, so many defensive spiritual weapons, he still didn't have them, and everyone had to be red-eyed.

You must know that the value of a low-grade defensive spirit weapon at the human level is comparable to that of an offensive spirit weapon at the upper level of the human rank.

Moreover, in the defensive spirit weapon, the price of the armor is twice that of the shield, and the moment Qin Yue was counterattacked just now, a trace of light appeared on his body, covering the whole body, which was obviously a soft armor covering the whole body.

"You have to ask, who can invite such a powerful heavenly tribulation when they are in the Imperial Spirit Realm. Xue Tianhan looked at the thunder tribulation in the sky, "It is estimated that he is also the first one who dares to directly smash the thunder tribulation." ”

It was at this time that Qin Yue opened his eyes and looked at the palace in the sky.

He also wanted to know what would happen if the vision was cut to pieces. If he passively bears the catastrophe, he is likely to not survive the end, not that he has no confidence in himself, but the severity of this catastrophe is too scary.

This is only the first round, and if you continue to get stronger than the next, you really won't be able to make it to the end.

Thinking of this, he directly used the spirit technique, and the thirty-six consecutive slashes of the storm slashed towards the clouds in mid-air as the spirit wings unfolded. The Windblade's target is obvious, a vision in the sky.

And the Thunder Tribulation seemed to know something, and the tenth heavenly thunder directly enveloped the might of the ten thousand armies, directly defeating Qin Yue's spiritual skills. However, the Storm Thirty-six Consecutive Slashes are also the secret techniques of the Storm Demon Wolf Clan, and one slash is stronger than one slash, and it can be said that in a very short period of time, the Thunder Tribulation was defeated.

Although there were only three wind blades slashing towards the palace of the Heavenly Tribulation, a crack had already appeared on the palace of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Qin Shuang looked at Xue Tianhan with a long mouth, she really didn't expect that what Xue Tianhan said, Qin Yue really did it. Before, she thought that Xue Tianhan was ridiculing, so she didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that Xue Tianhan is not ridiculing, but seriously.

Although Xue Tianhan on the other side said that she was calm in her heart, her heart was not as calm as it seemed to be, she only had one thought, that is, Qin Yue really dared?

And after Qin Yue saw this scene, he also took a deep breath and directly took out his cold iron spear.

I don't have defensive spiritual weapons, but I don't lack offensive spiritual weapons. Since everyone wants to compete with each other to consume, it depends on whether you have more spiritual power or more spiritual weapons.

"All the team members, prepare to form a formation and help the president through the calamity. Rail said suddenly.

Originally, those shadow guards who had completed the tribulation all drew their long swords at this time. In an instant, there were more than 600 team members, including more than 400 Imperial Spirit Realms, some of the rest, more than a dozen people were in the Ning Dan Realm, and the rest were at the Qi refining level.

"Give me the qi refining level, if I don't let you go up, you are cannon fodder. Rail said directly.

Although he really wanted to help Qin Yue survive the tribulation, he also knew that Qin Yue's current situation was cannon fodder at the level of qi refining, so it was better to let them wash and sleep well.

And at this time, Qin Yue's face was also a little soothed, and the spiritual power in his body was full, which gave him a little confidence.
