Great Song Xiongming City.

Xiongming City is among the tens of thousands of cities in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a top-ranked big city, but this historic southern city was once the capital of the entire Great Song Dynasty. Until 1,700 years ago, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty moved the capital to the north in order to better control the entire kingdom and dispatch the resources of the whole country to wage war with the Great Liao.

However, the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty and the mortal world of advocating monasticism have left strong traces in this former capital, and to this day, nearly half of this city of five million people are still monks.

In a city like Panyuan City, there are only 400,000 monks with two million inhabitants.

The huge group of monks created the largest Dafang City in the south of the Great Song Dynasty - Xiongmingfang City.

And the headquarters of Shengyuan shop is here.

Su Qi just met a few shopkeepers who came to the headquarters to report, and she was in a good mood, she settled a few shopkeepers in an inn near the headquarters, and rushed to the south of Fang City to check the situation of a shop there.

It has been two years since she went south to Shiguo to see the shop that rose in Weimo, and Su Qi sometimes remembers that the shop called Yincang Pavilion has developed rapidly relying on Zhongshan Lingzhuang.

The southern part of the Great Song Dynasty was the center of the Shengyuan merchants, and for 2,500 years, its operators focused all their efforts on the south.

Therefore, this shop is extremely cautious and sensitive to any competitors who may have zài, so the big shopkeeper Gu Sheng will only set his eyes on it at the beginning after discovering that a rather distinctive Yincang Pavilion has been stationed in the Great Song Dynasty.

At first, Gu Sheng planned to destroy Yincang Pavilion directly, but later found that it seemed to be a little troublesome, so Gu Sheng changed his strategy and no longer took care of Yincang Pavilion.

At the same time, they began to learn from it.

Sheng Yuan shop will not run Lingzhuang by itself. Kailingzhuang needs to invest a lot of spirit stones, and the sect behind the shop will not agree to take out so many spirit stones.

So Su Qi had no choice but to go to Lingzhuang, where they cooperated, and told them about this method, recommending them to start doing debt cobalt as well.

The Shengyuan shop, which is in good operating condition, is naturally the first choice for issuing bonds and cobalt, and through guò, the Shengyuan shop has received a large number of spiritual stone support, and immediately began to accelerate the pace of expansion.

As early as three months ago, the number of Sheng Yuan shops exceeded 1,000, and it all depended on the method they stole from a competitor who had not yet grown.

Thinking of this, Su Qi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Some time ago, I heard that Shikoku was unified by a demonic sect. Yincang Pavilion also moved to the Great Song Dynasty because of this, but he didn't know what the current situation was? Thinking of this, Su Qi decided to go back and take a good look at the recent situation of this opponent.

She slowly walked towards the headquarters of Shengyuan Shop, but she was still far away from the gate, and suddenly heard the voices of people in front of her, some people cheering and cheering.

She was a little stunned, raised her head, and saw next to Sheng Yuan's shop. A new shop was opened, and many people were gathering there at this time.

When a shop is newly opened, it is common to use some means to attract customers in order to create a popular scene. These are the methods that Su Qi has already used, and she is naturally not surprised.

But she suddenly felt angry and funny.

What kind of person is so bold to open a shop, and actually open next door to Shengyuan's shop?

She thought it was the arrogance of someone who didn't know the height of the sky. When she walked in front of the shop, she was slightly startled when she saw the name on the plaque she had just hung. There was some surprise.

"Silver Cangge ......"

Although Su Qi had vaguely foreseen the arrival of this day when he saw the worry and anxiety of the big shopkeeper Gu Sheng, but now, when Yincang Pavilion appeared in the next door of Shengyuan's shop in a real and swaggering manner, Su Qi still felt a little caught off guard.

On this day, Shengyuan Shop opened the 1,032nd shop, and Yincang Pavilion opened the 360th shop.

Fifteen or sixteen steps in front of Su Qi, in front of the gate of Yincang Pavilion, Wu Yang smiled and greeted the guests who came over.

Originally, there was no need for Wu Yang, the deputy pavilion master, to open a shop, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Sheng Yuan's shop had stumbled over Yincang Pavilion had already reached the ears of Wu Yang and others.

A behemoth such as Yuanbao Zhai is naturally not within the reach of Yincang Pavilion, but at this stage, there is an opponent with moderate strength like Shengyuan Shop, which is appropriate for Yincang Pavilion.

Because he paid enough attention to the enemy, this time the Xiongming branch was opened, and Wu Yang would come in person, and the signature silver shield talisman of Yincang Pavilion, Wu Yang brought 10,000 in one go.

As early as the foundation building period, the deity or doppelganger refining silver shield talismans could reach hundreds a day. Today, if you go all out in a day, it is not difficult to refine thousands of silver shield talismans at will.

Therefore, with one point and three or two doppelgangers, just refining some in his spare time, it is enough to supply the entire Silver Cangge Silver Shield Talisman.

Su Qi took a deep look at the plaque of the silver shield talisman and walked into the Sheng Yuan shop.

――――

Zhongshan Dockyard.

Standing on the shore in three parts, looking at the twenty-five-zhang long warship moored on the shore.

The three monks are teaming up to put the last of the windbreakers on it.

Wang An stood beside Fensan, his expression was a little excited, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he no longer had the ability to cope with it when he first came.

"It's finally done. Wang An said, looked at the three, and said with admiration.

"Hmm. Fensan nodded, revealing a smile, "But I haven't officially used it yet, so don't be too happy for the time being." ”

"Yes. Wang An restrained a little joy, "Senior Su San, let's go up." ”

The two of them flew on the warship together, looked back at the warship again in three parts, and said lightly: "You said earlier that this warship is more powerful than an ordinary twenty-five-zhang warship?"

"At least four times more, in terms of firepower and defense, it is comparable to a thirty-zhang warship, and in my opinion, in terms of comprehensive combat power, this ship can already be equal to a thirty-five zhang warship. And the most remarkable thing is that despite the increase in comprehensive combat power so much, the cost of the entire warship remains the same!"

Fensan nodded, "Also, the manpower of the warship." It was reduced to two-thirds of the original size. ”

"It's really remarkable. ”

"Let's go, try it out of town. ”

"Hmm. Wang An answered, signaling to the monks who had already prepared on the ship, and the warship immediately flew up and headed out of the city.

Wang An looked at Fensan's indifferent expression, and felt more and more unfathomable in his heart.

He didn't seem to realize how epoch-making what he had been doing in the past few months.

Originally, warships were associated with being expensive and clumsy, unless they were dealing with a live target that couldn't move, in a true master duel. The role of warships was minimal.

But now, what Su San has done, if he shortens a 35-zhang warship to 25 zhang, the speed of the warship is faster, and the power is not reduced, and the advantages brought by this will change dramatically. Now, although he knew the power of the warship under his feet, he didn't quite know how big this change would be, but he was fortunate enough to be involved in it. He was genuinely excited.

When they arrived outside the city, the entourage took out a 35-zhang warship, and the two fought, and finally the 35-zhang warship was defeated.

Watching the battered thirty-five-zhang warship being put away. Fensan said lightly: "Wang An, you now know how this kind of warship was built." ”

"Most of the process is known, but there are some places where seniors are still needed. ”

"I'll take care of my part. "It's divided into three parts. "Now, I'll give you plenty of resources and manpower, and then. I need you to build me twenty of these ships in three months. ”

"I will not disgrace my life. Wang Andao.

"Well," said after thinking about it for a while, "I plan to name the twenty-five-zhang warship Yuan'an, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Wang An was a little incredulous, and immediately said, "Thank you, senior!"

"Okay, let's go back. ”

The warship flew back, divided into three bows, and the mood was also good.

Some of Wang An's ideas are also known in three parts, and Wang An still thinks that this method of warships can be passed down and popularized.

But in fact, it is not, but it is divided into three and does not debunk this from the beginning.

Because all the key places in the transformation of this warship have applied rules, and the original cumbersome and redundant parts have been replaced by simplification or rough replacement of rules.

It can be said that without dividing it into three and letting Wang An preside over the construction himself, this Yuan'an-class warship could not be built at all.

You must know that before, neither the deity nor the doppelganger had ever been in contact with the construction of warships. It is impossible for Fensan to suddenly become a shipbuilder, and what he relies on is that he sees more than everyone else.

However, he doesn't intend to expose this kind of thing.

The ships are surprisingly well tested, powerful and flexible, and will make them more comfortable on the ever-changing battlefield.

With a 35-zhang level warship, it is enough to deal with the war of monks whose opponents are Jindan monks, but it is not enough.

Next, it is planned to build another type of warship in three parts, which will be used to deal with the Yuanying Monk.

I don't know why, after a few days of contact with shipbuilding, I found that I was slowly starting to enjoy it.

――――

"The first ship over there has been built. Fenyi smiled and said to Chen Zhuoyun.

The two of them were drinking tea in a teahouse opposite the door of Yincang Pavilion at this time.

"Some people have been recruited, but I'm afraid they won't be enough. Chen Zhuoyun said.

"How many?"

"More than eight hundred. ”

"Enough, twenty people in one boat, enough to move forty ships. He took a sip of tea.

"Twenty people in one boat? What kind of ship is that? Twenty feet?"

"Twenty-five zhang. "Say it in parts.

"This kind of warship is okay to deal with the Zhuji monks, but it is a little difficult to deal with the Jindan Zhenren...... Chen Zhuoyun said subconsciously.

Fen Yi shook his head, "This kind of warship is built by ourselves, and the improved warship has a lot of power compared to the ordinary twenty-five-zhang warship. ”

"I'll do my best to recruit as many people as possible. "Chen Zhuoyun knows the style of doing things separately, and since he has made up his mind, the power of this warship is naturally not bad.

"Lingzhuang, what's going on?" asked one by one.

"Some trouble. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The interest on cobalt is too high, and as soon as we came in, we were hit hard. In this case, it is a question whether Zhongshan Lingzhuang can survive, and the discerning people will not come to buy cobalt again. ”

"So you need to give them confidence?"

"The fundamental problem lies in the Lingzhuang on the side of the Great Song Dynasty. From the behemoth Lingzhuang to the Lingzhuang limited to a small area of twenty or thirty square markets, although the interest they give fluctuates to a certain extent, the difference is not large. Now Lingzhuang is learning from us to do debt cobalt, but the interest is also controlled in a certain way. ”

Fen Yi silently, "In this case, we will not do it in the Great Song Dynasty first, but will do it in the neighboring small countries first." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that in this way, the development of Zhongshan Lingzhuang will definitely be greatly affected." ”

Debt cobalt is the pillar of Zhongshan Lingzhuang, without debt cobalt, Zhongshan Lingzhuang will be like a foot cut off.

And its other foot is the Silver Cangge.

"That's a question, I'm thinking about it too. Chen Zhuoyun said, "During this time, I have come into contact with some people from Da Song Lingzhuang. ”

"Huh?" said Fen Yiyi, with an interested look.

"I suddenly discovered that the cobalt issued by each Lingzhuang is different. ”

This is common knowledge that every monk knows, and he didn't speak, but he was more curious.

"For us, the value of the spirit stone is fixed, how much spiritual power a spirit stone has, and the spiritual power is useful to us, no one can change this. ”

"Cobalt is different, cobalt itself has no value, but now it is stipulated that 10,000 spirit stones are exchanged for black cobalt, 1 million spirit stones are exchanged for silver cobalt, and 100 million spirit stones are exchanged for gold cobalt. Chen Zhuoyun said, took out a handful of various cobalt and put it on the table, because the Lingzhuang built is different, these cobalt, although the name is the same, but the appearance is different.

"If a spirit village is maintained normally, after a period of time, the price of cobalt will increase, and there will be a formation mark in the cobalt, and this matter will be confirmed and cannot be changed. ”

Chen Zhuoyun paused, glanced at each other, and separated the cobalt in front of him one by one.

"However, if a small Lingzhuang suddenly comes to the news that it is going to close, can its cobalt price maintain its original price?"

Fen Yi's curiosity gradually became clear, and he smiled: "Zhuo Yun, I really admire you, you can think of this, but how to do this?"

What Chen Zhuoyun said was roughly understood.

For example, a small Lingzhuang with a scale of only hundreds of billions of dollars, any wind and grass may make it close.

Then someone has ten pieces of black cobalt from this Lingzhuang in his hand, plus interest, which is worth 110,000 spirit stones.

However, Xiaolingzhuang is about to close, and the door is full of people waiting in line every day. At this time, in order to reduce the loss as much as possible, maybe someone will be willing to sell the black cobalt with 80,000 spirit stones.

This qiē is simple to say, and it is also human nature.

But what Chen Zhuoyun thinks at this time is obviously not so simple, behind this, there is a lot to be done. (To be continued......)
