Chapter 310: Painting Cakes

Zhang Hao's inquiry suddenly made Zhao Dahe stunned and stunned.

He really didn't expect Zhang Hao to ask such a question. Isn't it usually all kinds of guarantees and the like - although everyone knows that it is fake.

After all, Zhao Dahe had a lot of experience, and he said with a humble attitude: "The old decay is running out, there is nothing else to ask for, if Young Master Zhang is satisfied with the old decay in the future, as long as Young Master Zhang can take care of my disciple in the future, it will be enough." ”

The young man held the cup in both hands, looked at Zhang Hao vigilantly and with some anger, and there was a faint helplessness in the depths of his eyes.

Zhang Hao smiled: "The seniors asked...... It's really too low. If you see how this goes, if the routes are opened up in the future, as long as the routes are opened under the guidance of the predecessors, the taxes of all ships on these routes in the future will have one percent of the predecessors, and they will be valid permanently.

For this one percent of the earnings, the predecessors are free to establish an heir. ”

"Ah......" Zhao Dahe was stunned by Zhang Hao's sudden change. I never thought that Zhang Hao was so harsh and cold at the last moment, and so generous the next moment.

Zhao Dahe knows very well what 'one percent of taxes' means. All ships, not one or two.

Based on the current approximate tax revenue of the country of Qixia, the tax is one-tenth of the transaction amount, and one percent of the tax is equivalent to one-thousandth of the transaction amount.

It is equivalent to every thousand boats, and the profit of one boat belongs entirely to Zhao Dahe. And the number of ships sailing on a route every year is definitely not a small number - the route in the inland sea is an example.

It's just that the price is too high?

Zhang Hao looked at Zhao Dahe's expression and was very satisfied. That's what you want. What is this called, this is called buying horse bones! And this is the same as the principle of patents.

If the country of Qixia, Zhangjia, and Dayang Group want to develop, they need a lot of talent; so how can they attract talent? Is it a deception with empty words and white teeth?

After all, the country of Qixia has been trapped for thousands of years, and if it wants to develop rapidly, it must absorb talents from the outside world as soon as possible; and if it wants to attract talents, it is necessary to give benefits, which can be seen and touched. And this benefit, for a long time - can not be paid in one go.

Through this way of dividends, talents can be firmly tied to the chariot of the country of Qixia.

Moreover, this can not only set an example, but also allow Zhao Dahe to take the initiative to use his network to recruit talents! Before, Zhang Hao did not dare to let those commercial houses and others recruit talents--those talents did not know whose talents were. But Zhao Dahe is an opportunity.

After determining Zhao Dahe's situation, Zhang Hao made a decision and gave Zhao Dahe a new hope and huge benefits.

It wasn't until Zhang Hao called several times that Zhao Dahe gradually reacted, "This ...... Young Master Zhang...... Are you serious?"

Zhang Hao smiled gently, faintly with the majesty of the superior: "Then Zhao Dahe, are you confident in your astrology? If not, then you can leave now." If so, then you deserve it!"

Zhao Dahe is in his infancy after all, although he has lost his temper by life, but at this time, he gradually met Zhang Hao's eyes, and gradually became confident in his eyes - that is confidence in his profession!

Although I have lost confidence in life, I believe in my professional ability.

Zhang Hao looked at Zhao Dahe's eyes and nodded slowly. "I'm glad you have that kind of confidence. However, the stakes are very high, and before sailing, I will also arrange for someone to test the seniors, so please forgive me. ”

"Understood. ”

"Then, these two pills, even if they are deposits, will be deducted from the income of their predecessors in the future. Zhang Hao took out two beautifully packaged pills - the Crossing Erjin Pill and the Life Creation Pill!

The packaging of the pill is extremely luxurious - gift-giving is a science, first of all, the appearance must be handy, enough grade! The example of buying and returning the pearl tells us that the true meaning of gift-giving is not in the content, but on the surface, and the sincerity must be revealed on the packaging - the surface is not good, who looks at what you have inside, everyone is very busy.

Of course, the value of the Erjin Pill and the Shengsheng Creation Pill is also enough, if these two pills are calculated according to the market price in the East, they will cost at least more than two thousand top-grade spirit stones-almost one cubic of high-grade spirit stones, even if the Transformation Period takes out so much wealth, it will be heartbroken. And such elixirs are all nowhere to buy if you want to buy them, and they are typically priceless.

The box opened, revealing the breath of two pills. Zhao Dahe looked at the two pills, and the corners of his eyes quickly moistened. These two pills mean life to Zhao Dahe!

Although this is not a pill designed to prolong life, the combination of these two pills can at least restore the dark wounds in the body, delay aging, and promote the progress of cultivation.

As long as you make progress in cultivation, you will be able to gain a lot of life.

In fact, these two pills were prepared by Zhang Hao for Wu Fanghai - originally prepared for the New Year's greetings after the exhibition ended. But it doesn't matter, just go back and prepare, now there are some top-notch pills like the Zhang family. It's working well at the moment.

Zhao Dahe stared at the pill and hesitated for a long time, and finally took it with trembling hands. "Thank you, Young Master Zhang, this is indeed what the old man needs. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and smiled: "You rest here first, and then we will take the train back to Zhang's house later." When the time comes, I will ask Master Mingxu Daoist to show you. Oh, my master is in the Enlightenment Period. ”

"That'...... Thank you...... Thank you......" Zhao Dahe only felt that happiness came too suddenly, he had suffered for a lifetime, and suddenly saw hope, or the kind that was radiant.

"You just wait here for a while, and I'll go out for a while. ”

"Okay, okay. Zhao Dahe actually got up to send it off - a Yuan Infant got up to send a foundation building period, and when Zhang Hao left, he sat down in a daze, looking at the two pills in his hand a little dazed, and had a feeling of unreality.

Zhang Hao's two pills are very particular about giving them - it is not only what Zhao Dahe needs, but also a promise of Zhang Hao: there is a way to say that there is no basis for words, no matter how good it sounds, it is not as good as two pills;

Originally, Zhao Dahe thought that he had only a few years left, so he found Zhang Hao with the intention of gambling. Now it seems, the bet was right, and the future seems to be bright. One percent of the tax on the airline is permanently valid! It's exciting to think about.

Consider the tens of thousands of ships in the inland seas, and the amount of supplies they transport every day is incalculable, and the tax revenue is also astronomical. Even one percent is enough to make the Holy Land excited.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the country of Qixia can't control all the routes, only some of the routes, it is enough.

And since Zhang Hao said so, there should be no fakes - otherwise Zhang Hao could have called a specific offer. Of course, before coming, Zhao Dahe actually investigated Zhang Hao and others.

Gradually, Zhao Dahe became excited, and he grabbed his disciple's shoulder: "Xiao Ke, the teacher has finally found an excellent future for you!"

"Master, we won't have to be looked down upon in the future!" Zhao Ke nodded fiercely. He is not very old, and because of his life, he follows his master around, and his cultivation is not high at a young age, but he knows that people's hearts are warm and cold.

Zhao Dahe put the elixir in the storage ring and took out the basic book, which was about astrology-navigation. Zhao Dahe and Zhao Ke began to study with their apprentices. If you want to find your way on the unfamiliar sea, astrology is essential, but there are really not many people who really understand this technique these days.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhao Dahe's master who never forgot when he was dying, if it weren't for Zhao Dahe's bad at drilling, and if it weren't for the cold wind spreading around, Zhang Hao wouldn't have seen Zhao Dahe.

Everything is amazing!

Zhang Hao walked out of the booth, looked at the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - surprise! I was about to give up, seeing that the second steel battleship, the Iron Duke, was about to go south to find the west coast of the Continent from the open sea, an astrologer jumped out.

Of course, Zhang Hao is still vigilant about this Zhao Dahe - it is too timely to appear. After thinking about it, Zhang Hao quietly contacted the branch of Yeyuelou and asked Yeyuelou to investigate Zhao Dahe's situation.

Now Yeyue Tower is already part of the Ocean Group, responsible for intelligence, assassination, counter-assassination, etc. It is an extremely important part of the Dayang Group, and it has always been unknown to outsiders.

However, if you want to go to Kunlun Continent to find out the news, you will not be able to do it for a while, but before that, Zhang Hao decided to cultivate and trust Zhao Dahe with all his might—for the time being, it is still credible.

Zhang Hao took a turn in the exhibition, and then explored the situation of the Zhang family and Dayang Group, and made sure that everything was going well, so he returned to the VIP room and took Zhao Dahe's master and apprentice to the station. And here, there are already a large number of people queuing.

At this time, a passenger train had just stopped, and the passengers walked out of the carriage with large bags. After more than two days of operation, the people have begun to accept and enjoy this new thing, and many people use it as their means of transportation.

The conductor made sure that nothing was left on the train, the car closed the door, turned around in front, changed railroads after a while, and stopped at the station again.

Zhang Hao looked at the train at hand, thinking about what else could be improved—on the basis of meeting the current conditions. The flight attendant is male, so that's all for the time being. The carriage may be able to depict the formation, but it is already a little cold in this winter.

Oh, thinking of the weather, Zhang Hao looked around, there was a freezing rain last night, but there were no snowflakes. Winters in the land of perched clouds don't seem to be particularly cold.

Zhang Hao took Zhao Dahe and Zhao Ke to a separate private room, and the first train belonged to a high-class carriage, which was specially set up for people with status. The temporary price is 10 yuan per person, while the ordinary car is 1 yuan per person.

Here one yuan is equal to 10 black iron coins, and two black iron coins can buy one pound of brown rice. 10 yuan is not a small number for ordinary people.

But here at the exhibition, high-end cars are still in short supply. Everyone wants to experience it.

Sitting in the box, Zhang Hao took out a handful of '10,000 yuan bills' and arranged a small soundproof formation.

"This is the banknote?" Zhao Dahe was a little curious.

Zhang Hao took out a handful and stuffed it into Zhao Dahe's hand: "Take these, you can't go to Ninghe County without banknotes." Now everyone in Ninghe County doesn't use spirit stones to trade much. ”

Xuantie coins are bulky, and the value of spirit stones is too large, and the number is too large, so now in Ninghe County, banknotes are very popular. In particular, most of the salaries issued by Dayang Group, Zhangjia, etc. are banknotes, which also promotes the exchange of banknotes.

Zhao Dahe was also not polite, and accepted it after thanking him.

Zhang Hao spoke: "Senior Zhao, let me ask a question." Have you ever wondered why astrologers are being sidelined after the opening of the shipping routes?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dahe's face turned angry: "What else is the reason, the typical is that the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden!"

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "Senior Zhao, since we are our own people now, I will say some things directly." It may be a little unpleasant.

In fact, the reason why an industry is eliminated is that it should first find its own reasons!

Because, no matter how much you resent others, you can't change your situation, but it will only get worse. On the contrary, if we can continue to improve and always become useful people that society needs, we will not be left behind.

There are two reasons why astrologers are eliminated in the later stages. One is that society no longer needs the abilities you used to have, but you still don't know how to keep up with the times. Second, I've heard that many astrologers have fallen so badly that their overall reputation has suffered. ”

Zhao Dahe wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word. Truth...... I really don't like it.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face - he said this to foreshadow the following words. Zhang Hao's current responsibility, identity, and status all determine that it is impossible for him to simply dig out his heart and tell the truth.

So Zhang Hao continued: "Predecessors, no matter whether the world is getting better or worse, history is always advancing. And on the way forward, there will inevitably be eliminated and new ones.

History is truly utilitarian, and if our predecessors read history books, they will find that those who can really leave traces in history are 'useful' people - they are pushing history forward. And useless people can't even leave traces.

That's the reality!"

Zhao Dahe's face changed for a long time, and finally sighed and lowered his head.

"But now there is an opportunity, the country of Qixia is ready to explore the open sea, and it will inevitably use astrologers and the like. But senior, have you ever wondered if the exploration of the open sea is completed, or if we will not be able to continue exploring one day in the future, will astrologers decline again in the future?"

"This ...... This ......" Zhao Dahe began to struggle. This master of the Yuan infant stage was unconsciously led by Zhang Hao.

There was a whistle outside the car, the personnel were all in order, the locomotive began to ignite, a little bit of steel clanged and gradually the car began to accelerate.

Zhang Hao stopped talking, and after five or six minutes, the vehicle had already begun to speed and rush out of the range of Guangling City. The view flashed by quickly. The carriage was not glassed, but had a simple barrier - but not so transparent.

Zhang Hao suddenly pointed to the carriage procession not far from the road: "Senior, you said that with the appearance of the train, how long can the carriage last?"

Carriage...... It has served mankind for tens of thousands of years. But...... After all, it will still be eliminated. Maybe one day in the future, we will only be able to see the carriage in a separate exhibition hall. ”

Zhao Dahe looked at the carriage that was quickly thrown away in the distance, and his eyes were a little straight. Today, trains are running at speeds of 100 kilometers per hour, while horse-drawn carriages are studying at speeds of around 60 kilometers per hour, which is still stained with the light of highways. And the transportation capacity of horse-drawn carriages is obviously not comparable to that of trains.

After a series of explanations, Zhang Hao saw that Zhao Dahe was deep in thought, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned - the foreshadowing is enough, it's time for a big meal.

"Seniors, in fact, the world is always changing. The only thing that remains constant is the change itself! A thing that does not know the change and has no direction of development, even if it can achieve temporary success, it will not be able to last.

I think that the current state of astrology and astrologers may be a good thing. In this way, everyone can fully think about the new changes and directions. ”

"Because astrology is part of astrology, I also know a little bit about astrology.

Senior, astrology is not accurate, have you ever wondered why?"

Zhao Dahe shook his head slightly: "I've thought about it, but I'm not sure." I can only be sure that the stars in the sky and people do not correspond one-to-one. But more ...... I don't quite understand either. ”

Zhang Hao pointed to the nearby mountain: "This mountain is very big, right?"

Zhao Dahe nodded.

Zhang Hao pointed to the mountain in the distance: "The mountain in the distance looks very small, and it looks less than the size of a palm from a distance." The seniors think, which is bigger, that mountain or the mountain in front of you?"

Zhao Dahe frowned slightly: "Although it looks small, it is obviously big in the distance!"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Senior, at such a distance, the distant mountain looks very small." Have the predecessors ever thought that the sun, moon, and stars in the sky are ...... How big?"

"Hmm......" Zhao Dahe's eyes instantly brightened, and he looked at Zhang Hao with burning eyes: "What does Young Master Zhang know?"

"No, I don't know anything! Before, on the sea, when I returned from my first voyage, the first thing I saw was the light of the lighthouse, and only then did I see the land.

As I watched the Iron Duke's sea trials, I saw the hull of the ship disappear under the surface of the sea, and finally I could only see the black smoke from the chimney. And when the Iron Duke returned, it saw black smoke first, and then the hull.

This was true for several voyages. This is obviously not an accident!

So I have a bold, or rather deviant, bizarre conjecture: will the world under our feet also be ...... What about a star?

The sun in the sky is a star, and the moon is also a star, but it is very close to us compared to other stars.

And the stars seem to be floating in the endless void!"

"This ...... This...... This can't be!" Zhao Dahe opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, as if his breathing had stopped.

Zhang Hao stopped talking, and suddenly pointed to an eagle in the sky, "That eagle looks the size of a mosquito." That's still the distance we can see. Have your predecessors calculated how far away the moon and sun are from us?"

Zhao Dahe stopped talking, he quickly took out an old book on astrology and began to rummage through it frantically.

Zhang Hao looked at it, this book was only made of excellent gastrodia paper, but it had already yellowed and fluffed, and it was obviously very old.

Zhao Dahe looked at it for a while, and suddenly became excited, and his tone was very high-pitched: "Yes, yes, the ancestor ......"

"Stop!" Zhang Hao suddenly yelled, and then said slowly: "Senior, let's go back and discuss again." Beware of the ears on the wall!"

Zhao Dahe nodded excitedly, but he held the book in both hands and looked at it excitedly.

(Have a good attitude, roll before speaking, and ask for a ticket~)
