(Today's fire is big, and I took a courier through Shentong, but I lost it.) Today, I called customer service again, and I was blacklisted. When the phone passed, it was directly to go to the official website to leave a message and end the call, which was the case several times. ）

Standing on the high platform, Liu Xinyu looked ahead, and suddenly there was an indescribable emotion in his heart. In the past six months, too much has changed. These changes make Liu Xinyu feel a little incredible when he looks back on it now.

Looking at the audience of almost 200,000 people, looking at the simple exhibition halls and the booths of commercial banks shrouded in enchantments, Liu Xinyu suddenly showed a faint smile - although a lot has happened in the past six months, at least the country has become better, and this is enough.

In the midst of these changes, a new class rose to prominence and laid a new future for the country, eliminating the decaying aristocracy.

Because of this, Liu Xinyu's smile became brighter and brighter, and the smile was full of hope, this kind of heartfelt, empress smile, I don't know how many people were attracted.

Finally, Liu Xinyu spoke: "Hello to all the citizens of the country of Qixia. Before I came here, I was thinking about what I should say today.

For this, I also prepared all night. But when I stood here, saw everyone, and saw the booths one by one, I found that all the preparations were not as moving as I was now.

Yes, impressed. Thank you for your joint efforts in the past, so that the country of Qixia can be reborn and have a new future. This is a thriving new country.

I would also like to promise you today that this is just the beginning and will get better and better in the future!

In the future, the country of Qixia will be a country of legal system, a country of industry and commerce, a country of freedom, and a country full of hope. In this country, there are no nobles, no slaves, and the legal property and personal freedom of individuals are sacred and inviolable.

I hope that from now on, everyone will strive for a new future. In the future, we will become a big country of industry and commerce, and we will become a holy place for spiritual practice!

I believe that this future ...... Visible!"

Below, there was a scattered applause, followed by cheers like waves. Liu Xinyu didn't talk about Fengtian transportation or anything like that, but really said it in everyone's heart.

Not a word of falsehood!

After a while, the cheering stopped, and Liu Xinyu continued: "In addition, I would like to thank the surrounding countries for their participation, and thank you for coming from thousands of miles away. I assure you that as long as you abide by the laws of the Land of Qixia, your personal safety and property safety will be guaranteed. ”

And so there was another cheer.

Liu Xinyu continued: "What I am talking about today is the development of industry and commerce. In this regard, thanks to our duke...... Oh, it's Lord Iron Duke. ”

Liu Xinyu laughed when she said it, and the scene was suddenly full of laughter.

"Before, I didn't really understand what industry and commerce were, what benefits industry and commerce are for the country, what benefits are for society, and what benefits are for the general public. But after many contacts and discussions with Zhang Hao, I probably understood.

Industry and commerce, to be more precise, new industry and commerce that develop technology, are the progress of society.

In the past, we always kept a deep conscience about industry and commerce, always felt that industry and commerce were mercenary, and always felt that businessmen were villains. But we were so wrong. ”

"In the past, when we farmed, the annual yield of one acre of land was limited. No matter how intensively cultivated, it will not be infinite. But industry and commerce are different, and industry and commerce can properly get rid of the shackles that the land has placed on us, and we can pursue more.

More hope, more abundance!

In the past, Xuantie was very expensive, even if it was 60% purity, one pound could be made into 1,000 Xuantie coins. In fact, as far as I know, some families and nobles can create 1200 Xuantie coins.

But now, with the advancement of technology, 70% of the black iron is also common in the country of Qixia, and the black iron coins used by the people have also been replaced with 70% black iron. Nowadays, many ordinary people can also buy one or two cultivation tools to assist in their cultivation.

Why is there such a change? Quite simply, because technology has advanced. Technology is an important part of the new industry and commerce. ”

"Also, we have opened up the sea channel, and we have obtained the elixir directly from the sea in the east. Perhaps you have already discovered that the price of our pills is lower than that of the pills in the East. And we need to build steel ships, sail thousands of miles, and cross the green sea of death.

Our cost is so high, why is the price of our pills even lower than those in the East?

Any idea why?"

"I know!" an excited audience member raised his hand, "because of technological advancement! Our cost of Xuantie is lower, and our cost of trading Xuantie for elixir is also much lower!"

Liu Xinyu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, because of technological progress! And this is the industry and commerce of the new era."

In the past, we had a broom for ourselves, and there were many rules for passing on technology to men but not to women, but as a result, many technologies disappeared and even made mistakes.

I remember a conversation with Duke Tie before, and Duke Tie said something like this, which impressed me deeply: We talked about exercises, secret methods, alchemy techniques, refining techniques, etc., and often said 'ancient methods'.

This is very doubtful, why would people rather believe in the old exercises that were thousands of years old, or even 10,000 years ago, than believe in today's exercises?

Could it be that for thousands of years, we have not only not made progress, but have been regressing?

This incident made me uneasy for several days. What have we been doing for thousands of years?

Intrigue and intrigue! Don't want to make progress! Be lazy and lazy! Rest on your laurels! This is the true portrayal of the past few thousand years. ”

"But in fact, our creative power is limitless. Look at the six months that have taken us to complete the transformation of the whole country.

At today's exhibition, I saw a lot of new things. Iron ships, machine tools, locomotives, steam turbines, artillery, new alchemy furnaces, new magic weapon formations, new weapons of war, new life weapons, and tens of thousands of new commodities!

And that's just the achievement of the past six months.

A year from now, three years from now, ten years from now, and even thirty or fifty years from now, what will happen to the Qixia Nation?

I'm looking forward to this change.

I hope that all of us will work together to make progress together! The state will create the freest environment and the fairest law for this progress.

In order to protect this freedom and fairness, there will no longer be a true nobleman in the country of Qixia.

In the future, the country of Qixia will only have nominal nobles and retain noble titles. Titles of nobility are given to those who have truly contributed to the country and are praised by all, and are no longer hereditary. ”

After Liu Xinyu finished speaking, he took a step back, and then slowly turned around and left. After Liu Xinyu left, the scene suddenly erupted in shocking cheers. Liu Xinyu's words today are not just casual - this is the rule of the country of Qixia in the future!

Having a centralized system of imperial power also has its advantages. The words of the emperor cannot be changed casually, especially this kind of public speech. That's really a spit, a pit.

Liu Xinyu left, Zhang Hao and Liu Guang also came up to speak, but to celebrate the first exhibition and blessings, etc., and finally announced the official start of the exhibition, the first exhibition lasted for five days - the seventh day was the New Year, and all commodity transactions during the exhibition were tax-free. In this way, the price of many goods can be reduced by about one-tenth, or even lower.

On top of that, during this exhibition, many items that were previously closed to foreign countries were also sold. For example, bearings, such as artillery, such as simple machine tools, etc. There are also black iron that used to be limited and high-priced. And the steel can also be sold.

However, the tax exemption is the domestic transaction tax, and the customs duty on leaving the country is not exempt.

The exhibition entered the hot stage at the beginning. In particular, Zhang's steel ingots are the most popular in sales. With the fame of the steel battleship and the spread of the shock of the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, steel, a new material, has also entered the field of vision of countless people.

And most practitioners will be conquered by this material as soon as they see steel. Not only has the purity reached 99.7%, but the comprehensive performance far exceeded that of the same grade of Xuantie - except that the seal carving formation was a bit difficult. But since the material is so hard, shouldn't it be difficult to carve the formation?

Zhang Hao took a turn around the exhibition, made sure that there was no problem, and prepared to leave. But at this time, Wei Qiang, the person in charge of the Zhang family's exhibition, found Zhang Hao and said that there was a person who claimed to be an 'astrologer' and found the booth to see Zhang Hao.

"Astrologer?" Zhang Hao was shocked.

Ever since he heard about 'astrologers' and 'astrologers' from the Ming Xuan Daoist, Zhang Hao has been looking for astrologers everywhere, and even inquired about them from the Oriental merchant ships. The result was very disappointing - even in the Oriental merchant ships, astrologers were very rare, and they were never encountered.

According to the news I heard from the Oriental Trading House: the astrologer is a very embarrassing existence. Astrologers are mysterious, and astrology is just one of the essential skills of astrologers. Astrologers are more able to predict good fortune and misfortune through astrology...... This is where the word 'astrology' comes from.

But, but astrology...... A lot of astrologers put their heads on it, which makes astrology decline more and more. Talents, etc., naturally withered. Now astrologers are equal to rare animals.

And the sea routes, now there is no need for astrologers - everyone runs every day, and there is no danger in the inland sea, and there are experienced sailors, who are willing to raise a bunch of astrologers who don't do nonsense, and will be Shinto.

So the mysterious and noble astrologer in the mouth of the head of the Ming Xudao and the less popular astrologer in the mouth of the Oriental Trading House circled in Zhang Hao's mind. In the end, Zhang Hao gradually believed the statement of the Oriental Trading House, and gradually stopped looking for astrologers.

didn't want to reach the end of the year, Zhang Hao almost gave up this idea, and suddenly an astrologer came and took the initiative to find it.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, with a little instinctive vigilance in his heart, but he still came to the booth and greeted the other party with the most enthusiastic attitude.

This is a man who looks to be in his sixties, his hair has turned gray, his figure is a little rickety, and the aura of the Yuan infant does not seem to be unstable - this is a symbol of aging, he is older than Wu Fanghai, at least Wu Fanghai's aura is still strong.

He was followed by a teenager, who was still a little ignorant.

However, the two of them were dressed very modestly - they were the clothes only civilians worn. As a Yuan infant, but wearing such simple clothes, it can be seen that they are very poor.

is also, in such an old infancy, I am afraid that even if there is a little capital, it must be hidden and as low-key as possible. This world of spiritual practice...... Sometimes it's brutal.

However, it must be admitted that seeing such a dress made Zhang Hao a little more confident. Especially the old man with a complex and exquisite compass in his hand.

The compass was very large, almost a foot, which was completely different from the compass that Zhang Hao usually saw and could hold in his hand, it was not a gossip figure, nor a compass, but a star map.

The stars seem to be embellished with star pure gold, and they are linked with pure gold with each other, vaguely forming a Zhou Tian Star Dou diagram. At this time, there was a strange aura surging in the array, which made the breath in Zhang Hao's body faintly active!

In short, just one glance can understand that this is not something simple!

And Zhang Hao could still see that there was apprehension in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to have the last hope.

With just one glance, Zhang Hao looked at the old man for seven or eight points. A bright and sincere smile immediately appeared on his face, "Hello senior, I am Zhang Hao." ”

"Duke Zhang...... "The old man actually wanted to bend down to meet him."

"No! Let's talk inside. Zhang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man and walked towards the VIP room.

After sitting down, Zhang Hao poured a cup of spiritual tea for the old man and the young man with a smile, and then asked, "Dare to ask the seniors what to call them?"

"They are all old and decayed, and they can't be their predecessors. Old Zhao Dahe, when the master said that I could find the stars in the sky, so I named it Dahe. Ay...... It's been more than 500 years, and I haven't even seen my own path clearly. Seeing that half of it is in the ground, it can't even inherit the sect. ”

Zhao Dahe said, with emotion on his face.

Zhang Hao was very calm: "Then Senior Zhao, how did you find this place, and where did you hear about it?"

"I was originally from the Kunlun Continent in the East and the Shangyao Kingdom in the West, close to the Fertile Earth Continent, and close to that contradictory trading firm. Some time ago, when the Contradiction Firm returned, a ranger named Leng Feng who followed the ship of the Contradiction Firm, began to say bad things about the Zhang family and the Dayang Group everywhere, and I paid attention to it.

Later, I went to the contradiction firm to inquire about it, and only then did I know the exact news. That's when I found this place.

Astrology, where to survive in Kunlun Continent...... Not so good. It is true that a small number of astrologers have been reused, but in fact they are ostensibly astrologers, but in fact they are strategists, and even some unscrupulous people. True astrologers, are not welcome.

Lao Yu also tried to do something else, but what the master entrusted him before his death, Lao Yu did not dare to forget it. I just saw that half of it was cut into the ground, but I didn't have a chance until I heard about the situation of the Zhang family.

I heard that the Zhang family was going to explore the open sea and find astrologers, which gave Lao Yu hope. ”

"Actually, a long time ago, astrologers were brilliant. It was the era of the expansion of navigation in the inland sea. But as the course matures, astrologers ...... It gradually lost its effect!

Hey, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooking, and the birds are hiding with a good bow......"

The old man sighed, and his words were full of firmness.

Zhang Hao asked softly, "I feel that you have some resentment in your heart?"

"Can there be no resentment? It is we who lead the way for the Great Voyage. But...... Now we are abandoned!" Zhao Dahe's tone was a little high-pitched.

Zhang Hao sat up straight and looked directly into Zhao Dahe's eyes: "Then what do you think the Zhang family will do to you if the new route matures?"
