Chapter 328: The Pearl Battleship
In a hurry, it was a few days later, and in the palace, Liu Xinyu looked at the new news at hand, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
The previous series of events almost forced the country of Qixia to the edge of the cliff, and Liu Xinyu had to give the country's most important treasure and the last hole card, a treasure bead that may be a fairy spirit stone, to the Xuanzhen Sect in exchange for half a year.
Fairy spirit stone, this is a treasure that only exists in legends. Ordinary people can't find a wisp of immortal qi to build a foundation (god transformation period), but there is a fairy spirit stone here.
But now it seems that the previous efforts have paid off. With the return of the two warships of the Ocean Group to explore to the south, all problems were solved.
Just yesterday morning, Xinglintang officially registered a new business group - Xinglintang Group.
Xinglintang was registered as a group, which means that Xinglintang, which used to be somewhat similar to the nature of a sect, has been completely commercialized. It's a sign!
In the past, Xinglintang was one of the three pillars of the country of Qixia, but now even Xinglintang has been registered as a commercial group, which also means that the country of Qixia has completely industrialized and commercialized.
This morning, Xinglintang publicly sold a large number of pills used in the Qi refining period, including Pei Yuan Dan and Zhuji Dan. And the price is ...... It's a lot cheaper again. The unit price of ordinary Pei Yuan Dan has dropped to 0.5 spirit stones, that is, 50 yuan! This is 0.1 spirit stones lower than the shore price of the Oriental Commercial Bank.
As soon as Xinglintang was released, it caused a huge sensation!
Be aware of:
Pei Yuan Dan, the shore prices in the East are: ordinary 0.6 spirit stones, high-grade 1 spirit stones, and excellent 2 spirit stones.
Zhuji Dan, the shore prices in the east are: ordinary 50 spirit stones, high-grade 70 spirit stones, and excellent 100 spirit stones.
The landed price does not include customs duties and other fees. Coupled with various taxes, the price of ordinary Pei Yuan Dan in the Eastern countries is also between 0.9 spirit stones and 1.2 spirit stones; the better Pei Yuan Dan costs two spirit stones, and the excellent ones can be sold for 5 spirit stones. Tsukidan also has a premium of 50% to 100%.
But the price of Xinglin Hall, the price of Pei Yuan Dan is: 50 yuan/0.5 spirit stone, 90 yuan/0.9 spirit stone, 180 yuan/1.8 spirit stone - just a little lower than the shore price in the East!
The prices of Zhuji Dan are: 4600 yuan/46 spirit stones, 6400 yuan/64 spirit stones, and 9200 yuan/92 spirit stones.
The price of all the pills is double-marked, with banknote pricing and spirit stone pricing. However, now because of the convenience of banknotes, banknotes have been widely used in the country of Qixia.
The isolation from the outside world has instead promoted the promotion of banknotes in the country of Qixia.
Xinglintang has built sales centers in major cities in the country of Qixia, and the price is unified across the country. It will be released this morning.
The entire country of Qixia has fallen into an unprecedented carnival.
Just after the morning, the pill that Xinglin Hall was on sale publicly was placed in front of Liu Xinyu. More than a dozen kinds of pills that are often used during the Qi refining period, including Qi Nourishing Pill, Pei Yuan Dan, Xiao Ling Yuan Dan, Five Elements Pill (five kinds), Xiao Xin Dan, etc., all the way to Zhuji Dan, there are many of them.
Some of the precious pills, such as Xiaoling Yuan Dan and Zhuji Dan, are individually packaged, while most of the rest of the pills come in a box of 10 pills. The box is made of 60% black iron sheet, which is very exquisite, and is stamped with the Xinglintang logo, the name of the elixir, the ingredients, the place of origin, the production date and the expiration date.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is a small line of handwriting at the bottom of the box: Produced by Dayang Group.
When you open the box, the first thing you see is the 'instruction manual' printed on plain paper. The three big words of "manual" are very eye-catching, so I am afraid that I will not see it.
Liu Xinyu opened it and looked at it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She was instantly struck by this brand new 'manual'.
The instructions are very detailed, including the ingredients of the pill, the source of the herbs, the recommended time to take the pill, the contraindications, the scope of application of the practice, and the preservation of the pill.
For example, it is recommended to take ordinary Pei Yuan Dan before the third layer of the Qi refining period, and at most five layers during the Qi refining period;
And especially remind that the content of ordinary Peiyuan Dan is relatively large, and it should not exceed 5 pills per month. Also, because the medicinal materials come from the earthy continent, compared with the northern medicinal properties are slightly hot, if you feel hot after taking it, you can take spiritual tea to recuperate, and it is not recommended to drink alcohol.
Finally, there is the collocation relationship between different pills.
Liu Xinyu read the manual twice, opened other boxes, and found that there were similar instructions, but the instructions were different, but they were all the same careful.
After getting such an elixir and having such an instruction manual, Liu Xinyu suddenly had an indescribable, faint touch and trust in his heart.
After looking at it for a while, and checking the quality of the pill, Liu Xinyu was surprised to find that the quality of the pill in his hand was a little better than the pill from the east!
"Okay!" Liu Xinyu couldn't help but admire.
She admired not only Xinglintang, but also industry and commerce. The benefits to the country from Xinglintang's transformation into industry and commerce are obvious. The cooperation between Xinglintang and Dayang Group has directly compressed the price of domestic pills to the lowest point.
Under the blockade of the surrounding countries, the country of Qixia completely relied on industry, commerce and navigation, and not only persevered, but also carried out a profound change.
Faintly, Liu Xinyu even had a feeling that the blockade of the surrounding countries was only afraid that it would have the opposite effect. Under this blockade, it accelerated the transformation of industry and commerce in the country of Qixia.
In order to survive, the country had to transform quickly, because of external pressures, it was possible to become more cohesive and united internally.
Looking up at the map, Liu Xinyu's eyes swept to Ninghe County, which has now been marked separately, and this is the fief of the Zhang family. In fact, giving Ninghe County to the Zhang family was also a decision that Liu Xinyu had to make after careful consideration.
The recent development and changes in the country of Qixia are all brought by the Zhang family. In this case, if the state continues to collect taxes - others will complain. Why do you collect taxes, do the Zhang family and Dayang Group still have little help to the country!
In order to take care of these, and in order to tightly confine the influence of the Zhang family to the scope of industry and commerce, Liu Xinyu must be rewarded. In order to set an example for other industrial and commercial classes, Liu Xinyu must also be rewarded.
After careful consideration, he could only give Ninghe County to the Zhang family.
Although there is no real power aristocracy in the country now, Zhang Hao, the Zhang family, and even the Dayang Group have made so many contributions, if there is no additional expression, it will make others feel cold.
The development of the country is nothing more than human affection, and the governance of the country cannot rely entirely on the law! Liu Xinyu profoundly understands this point.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xinyu doesn't care about the gains and losses of 'one city and one place' now. Now, the empress's gaze slowly swept to the surrounding areas and countries: Next, it is time to seek the entire western part of the Fertile Land Continent!
Compared with the whole West, only a small Ninghe County is divided, but it is a bit stingy.
Lowering her head, Liu Xinyu continued to look through other information.
Railroads are being built, new artillery with a range of 20 kilometers is being fully deployed, and the army has spread the use of steel weapons and armor, powerful ballistas made of steel, and some powerful weapons of war, etc., and is arming the entire army of the land of Qixia.
Invisibly, the legions of the country of Qixia have been transforming to mechanization. Oh, to be exact, a shift to 'large-scale weaponization of warfare'.
The country of Qixia, which is now blocked by the surrounding countries, is like a silkworm cocoon, and at this time, this 'silkworm cocoon' is in the process of 'turning into a butterfly'. But this butterfly is made of steel!
Then Liu Xinyu checked the environment of the surrounding countries - in the case of the country of Qixia taking the initiative to export influence, even if the surrounding countries blocked it, it would not be able to block the news from the country of Qixia.
On the contrary, the stricter the lockdown, the faster the news spreads.
The industrial and commercial classes of the surrounding countries are very yearning for the environment of the country of Qixia. There is no aristocracy, no exploitation and oppression, and the country is founded on industry and commerce as never before, which is the "land of hope" for the industrial and commercial class!
In the past, there was no such country, and everyone continued to live with their heads down. But now it is different, for the industrial and commercial class of the countries, the current country of Qixia is like the sun in the sky, although this sun is temporarily covered by dark clouds, but it still brings hope to the industrial and commercial class.
This person is afraid that there is hope, and the intelligence officers from the country of Qixia have a little control, and it has caused a great repercussion in the surrounding countries.
So a strange atmosphere was formed in the surrounding countries:
The reason why the countries want to blockade the country of Qixia is that they see the difference in the country of Qixia, worry about the spread of the influence of the country of Qixia, and worry about affecting their own ruling base;
However, the more they worry, the more unstoppable it becomes, and the more the lockdown becomes, the more 'restless' the domestic business class becomes.
Intelligent life has an instinct to pursue freedom! Therefore, it is often the following words: The more I am not allowed to do anything, the more I want to try! The blockade of the country by various countries has led to unexpected results.
"The mouth of the people is more important than the river!" Liu Xinyu put down the information, a little proud, "This river can't be blocked, otherwise it will get higher and higher until the embankment bursts;
Dare to block us, the show has just begun, let's see!
Don't let me catch you, or ...... I will let you know the consequences of the blockade of the land of Qixia...... It's not something you can afford!"
Liu Xinyu slowly got up and stood in front of the huge map. I recalled Zhang Hao's words in my mind: Your majesty will not only spread in the country of Qixia, but also spread to ...... The whole known world!
"Is the whole known world?" Liu Xinyu's eyes were a little misty, she felt that this was Zhang Hao painting a cake - she could only see it, but she had to say that this had an immeasurable temptation for any monarch, and Liu Xinyu was no exception. Every time I think of this, I feel my heart beat faster.
While thinking about it, Hu Yinglan quietly came in and whispered, "Your Majesty." ”
"Huh?"
"Zhang Hao sent an invitation, saying that the third battleship is about to undergo sea trials......"
"There's no time!" Liu Xinyu was a little arrogant. The first two visits were due. If you go back to visit for the third time, what is the majesty of the royal family?
Hu Yinglan paused for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, Zhang Hao said that the new battleship will be named 'Mingzhu' and presented to Your Majesty. He also said that His Majesty's birthday would be in two months, and the Ocean Group would send the new Pearl to His Majesty in a beautiful manner.
This time, I invite Your Majesty to visit because I want to hear Your Majesty's opinion. ”
"Hmm......" Liu Xinyu turned around, her eyebrows slightly furrowed and thoughtful. Why did Zhang Hao suddenly want to give himself a warship?
According to Liu Xinyu's understanding, although Zhang Hao is generous on the surface, every time he gives something, there is a purpose.
Zhang Hao's biggest gift was to give the empire 5,000 tons of dark iron, but Zhang Hao pulled Wu Fanghai as his father-in-law, and he also got the care of the state. During that period of time, the Zhang family was able to develop unscrupulously, and no one went to find trouble! At that time, the family of Han Yue, the imperial historian, wanted to reach out his hand, but Zhang Hao directly cut off this hand, and the Han family did not dare to retaliate head-on, so they could only play tricks.
So why did Zhang Haoyou give himself a warship this time? A warship is not cheap, all of them are made of steel, and according to the current market price, the value of a steel warship is simply an astronomical amount.
With the strong production capacity of the Ocean Group, it takes about two months to build a warship, and only two warships before brought hope to the country of Qixia!
So, this gift ...... It's a bit precious!
Liu Xinyu thought for a long time, until Hu Yinglan reminded her again, and Liu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "When?"
"This time Zhang Hao said, it depends on His Majesty's schedule. ”
"Then tomorrow at noon. ”
