Chapter 235: The Road to the Pill
Zhang Hao was usually busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he really didn't notice the family's pills. But in Zhang Hao's impression, the family's pill reserves should be a lot.
Since the Zhang family began to officially sell the special dark iron for alchemy, the Zhang family's pill reserves have always been the top priority, how could it suddenly be insufficient?
Zhang Shengde shook his head slightly, and sighed with some emotion: "Now the price of a Peiyuan Dan in China has risen to more than 100 spirit stones, which is almost the price of Zhuji Dan in the East in the past.
Now the price of Zhuji Dan here has also increased to more than three thousand, and sometimes five thousand spirit stones may not be available.
Now that everyone buys our Xuantie and the like, they would rather pay for spirit stones than pills.
And our family is a thriving family, with more than 5,000 main family members, and a large number of pills are needed every moment.
Now it can last for half a month, which is already good. Now many small and medium-sized families, etc., have no pills available. ”
Zhang Hao's heart tightened: "The situation is already so serious?"
Zhang Shengye nodded and sighed: "Since the beginning of the war, the eastern trade route has been completely blocked, and the country has experienced several fluctuations, coupled with a large number of purchases by the state regardless of cost. Now the pill market in the country of Qixia is crumbling.
Domestically, it is almost impossible to obtain pills anymore.
And within our family, there is another very serious issue, and that is: rewards.
Since you started using the elixir as a reward, the family now has almost one-tenth of the elixir being rewarded. Although the pill reward system has greatly promoted the development of the family, it has now become the biggest burden on the family.
Especially Huang Mingshan and others, the pills at home are said to be all over the ground. Do you want Huang Mingshan and the others to take out the unneeded pills for emergency purposes first?"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Second uncle, the rewarded things can't be returned." And even if we want to come back, at what price do we buy back? at the original price? or at the current price?
The strict reward system is the foundation for the Zhang family's recent vigorous development. This one, you can't touch it!"
As he spoke, Zhang Hao took a deep breath, but his eyes began to be firm: "If there is a lack of elixir, it must be open source." Judging from the current situation, we can only open up a new road of elixir!
Half a month...... The steel megaship under construction is clearly too late. Then you can only ...... For the time being, I bought it from the country of Canglan, and tried my best to support it until the steel giant ship went to sea. That's the real hope!"
Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye glanced at Zhang Hao, and finally nodded together. Now the main person in charge of the Zhang family is Zhang Hao, but Zhang Shengde will still pay attention to the dynamics of the Zhang family and check and fill in the gaps. Zhang Shengye is mainly responsible for family security and other issues. However, this pill crisis has comprehensively endangered the safety and development of the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Hao did not rush around, but came to the 'Dayang Group Headquarters' in Ninghe County to discuss the situation of Dayang Group with the representatives of all parties left here.
As expected, the pill problem is also the most serious problem of Dayang Group. Or that the pill has become a big problem in the entire Qixia Country.
For cultivators, without the elixir, it is equivalent to four dishes and one soup for three meals a day, and it becomes leftovers for two meals a day, although the cultivation can still be carried out, but this is absolutely unacceptable.
It's not just a matter of frugality, it's also a matter of the overall progress of the practice. If the whole practice of a region is opened, then it is a very dangerous thing in this world of practice.
For example, the country of Qixia may not be able to stop the attack of the country of Jinyang - although it is also difficult now, at least it can still hold on.
After discussing for a while, Zhang Hao proposed: "I am going to represent the entire Dayang Group to go to Gu Xingdong in the country of Canglan and personally go to the country of Canglan to discuss the procurement of pills with the country of Canglan." ”
As soon as Zhang Hao's words came out, everyone suddenly calmed down, and a light flashed in their eyes. But Mei Qianyun was more careful: "Zhang Hao, it seems that the country of Canglan is not having a good time now, it is said that their port has also been robbed by the country of Langya." ”
Zhang Hao nodded, got up slowly, walked to a copied and enlarged version of "The Elephant of the Bracket", and said slowly: "This news should be true. But we just need to get a few elixirs from the land of chaos and survive the current crisis.
It is expected that in three months, the first steel giant ship will be launched. Nowadays, the craftsmen hardly sleep and need a lot of pills to support.
And after only three months, we should be able to go to sea smoothly, and then we will follow the coastline of the country of Danyang and the country of Canglan until we reach the country of Langya. When we got there, we did not dock and traded directly at sea with sea-going ships from the East. ”
Zhang Hao's fingers moved slowly on the "Elephant of the Ground", "According to the information we have gathered, and after preliminary calculations, it is about 8,000 kilometers to set off from the coast of Zhangjia's side and arrive at the coast of Langya Country.
Also according to the investigation results of Yeyue Tower, the merchant ships from the East mainly needed high-grade spirit stones, some high-grade medicinal materials, and high-grade spiritual materials such as Adamantine and Mithril.
The items we can trade with the East include high-grade spirit stones, top-notch alchemy iron, and steel.
According to the survey, the purity of the special black iron for alchemy from the East rarely reaches 99.7%, so we can trade with a purity of more than 99.8%.
There is also steel, and everyone has seen the excellent properties of steel.
That's all for now, what do you have to add?"
At a time when the country of Qixia is in danger of extinction, in this temporary headquarters, in this somewhat rudimentary conference room, everyone is discussing a trading plan that transcends the traditional meaning of the territory.
"I have a question. Mu Pengcheng spoke, "Now that the country of Canglan is more difficult, what do we use to impress them and make them willing to exchange precious pills?"
Zhang Hao didn't even think about it: "High-purity dark iron, steel, and ...... Artillery! especially artillery.
For the time being, the Zhang family is not ready to sell artillery directly, but is ready to sell the artillery to the Dayang Group first, and then sell it through the Dayang Group. ”
This is the result of Zhang Hao's careful consideration. Now Dayang Group still needs support, the most important thing is that everyone gets together and struggles together, Zhang Hao needs to tie everyone to his chariot through these means.
In addition, foreign transactions need to be done collectively. The Zhang family alone is a little lonely.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Hao spoke, everyone was immediately overjoyed. Iron, steel, and artillery were all provided by the Zhang family, and everyone was happy, but they were not stingy. Without the edification of the commercial explosion, everyone is still more or less simple.
The rest of the deputies said that some provided high-grade spirit stones, some provided medicinal materials, and some provided spiritual materials such as spiritual wood. Of course, Adamantite, Mithril, etc. are also indispensable. Even in the cultivation world, Adamantite Mithril is hard currency, innate currency, and equally rare.
After discussing for a long time, Zheng Shaojie, the young master of the Zheng family, spoke: "I think we have had enough contact with the country of Canglan, maybe we can try to contact the country of Taihua."
Previously, the country of Canglan had threatened Guan Zhengqing in the middle book, saying that the country of Qixia could only cooperate with them.
Now that we are communicating in the name of the Ocean Group, why don't we go to the country of Taihua?
We can't put all our eggs in one basket, and we can't just work with the country of chaos!"
Zhang Hao's finger slid on "The Elephant of the Bracket": "It's not that we don't want to, but it's inconvenient for the time being." If you want to go to the country of Taihua, you need to detour north, bypass the country of Zhoushan and the country of Zhongshan, and then you can reach the country of Taihua. And the result is still unknown.
In contrast, we need to pass through the country of Danyang from the south. And we can move closer to the desolate area by the sea.
The result of going to the country of vicissitudes was predictable, and the process of advancing was the least dangerous; Gu Xingdong and the others had already gone through it once.
Especially now that the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang has been transferred to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Qixia in large numbers, the resistance of the Kingdom of Danyang is much smaller.
Moreover, there are five flying boats coming over this time, which is the best means of transportation.
What we need now is to get through the most difficult three months. So I don't think it's time to take risks and add additional variety.
Only when we have opened up the sea channel can we truly grasp the initiative. ”
"I agree with Zhang Hao's plan!" Mei Qianyun said first.
Then everyone began to raise their hands to vote, and finally Zhang Hao won more than eighty percent of the support. The shareholders' congress once again exerted its strong vitality at this moment.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Then, let's temporarily open up a pill road and a temporary lifeline!"
(From the 25th to the 30th of this month, double the monthly pass.) )
