When Jia Xingwen read the letter written by Zhao Xun, his eyes were filled with tears.
He forced himself not to cry, but Jia Xingwen was really moved.
Tears still flowed down unsatisfactorily.
Ming Yun was really nice to him.
Ming Yun was so kind to him that Jia Xingwen didn't know what to say at the moment.
I can only say that this is sworn brotherhood.
Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen and Wangcai once sworn sworn brothers with different surnames. They did not want to be born in the same year and the same month, but they wanted to die in the same year and the same month.
They are not the kind of fair-weather friends who can only share wealth and wealth, but close friends who can share hardships together.
In other words, they can dig into each other's hearts and block each other's arrows.
But the world is full of troubles, and they have to be separated into two places thousands of miles apart.
If it weren't for the existence of teleportation, it would have taken at least half a year for the two of them to contact each other.
Jia Xingwen was very helpless.
But now that the choice has been made, there is no possibility of going back on it.
No matter what, Jia Xingwen still wants to take root in the Anxi Army.
Liu Lin, the guardian of the capital, treated him well. Jia Xingwen must find an opportunity to repay the kindness of the guardian of the capital.
A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist.
If Jia Xingwen could not repay Liu Lin's kindness, he would always feel sorry for himself.
So this time Jia Xingwen also weighed for a long time before deciding to go to Chang'an.
On the one hand, of course, it was to complete the task assigned to him by Liu Lin, and on the other hand, it was also to be able to see Zhao Xun.
It can be said that there are really not many ways to achieve these two things at the same time and get the best of both worlds.
Since there was this opportunity, Jia Xingwen naturally wanted to seize it.
Now or never.
If this opportunity is lost, Jia Xingwen doesn't know how long it will take before he gets another chance.
"call"
At this moment, Jia Xingwen's state was completely aroused.
Zhao Xun's letters are so contagious.
Zhao Xun had a dream in which Jia Xingwen was buried by the yellow sand in the desert.
So Zhao Xun went to great lengths to write this letter and use teleportation to send it to Jia Xingwen, just to see how Jia Xingwen was doing and whether he was safe or not.
Jia Xingwen knew that using a teleportation spell was extremely expensive.
Jia Xingwen was really touched that Zhao Xun could do this for him.
Of course, there is a very serious and troublesome problem now, that is, Jia Xingwen has no way to reply to Zhao Xun.
Back when I was in the Protectorate, there were practitioners with very high levels of cultivation, and they could use the teleportation technique.
But now Jia Xingwen is in the vast desert Gobi, and there are no such powerful practitioners around him.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Jia Xingwen to reply the letter to Zhao Xun.
Even if Jia Xingwen knew that Zhao Xun lived in Zhongnan Mountain, even if Jia Xingwen knew that Zhao Xun was staying in the academy at this moment, he couldn't do it.
There is no way that the strength is not enough.
It is impossible for an eighth-level practitioner to use the teleportation technique.
So what should Jia Xingwen do now?
Although he received Zhao Xun's letter, he had no way to reply. So Zhao Xun must be very nervous and scared now, right?
What can I do to report that Zhao Xun is safe?
Jia Xingwen really didn't know. After thinking about it, he could only give it up for now.
That's all, put this matter aside for now. Let's reply to Zhao Xun after we arrive at the sandbank.
There are practitioners with powerful magic in Shazhou City who can use teleportation.
"Well, it's really troublesome to make this table of snacks. I really didn't expect that we would make so much food at once."
Zhao Xun touched the sweat on his forehead and said helplessly.
There was nothing he could do. In order to please his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, and to repay his grace for using the teleportation technique at all costs, Zhao Xun had no choice but to do this.
After all, his mentor had already named him for a big meal. If Zhao Xun couldn't even satisfy him, it would be unreasonable anyway.
"call"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan took a deep breath and said: "Good guy, I didn't expect that I would follow Taoist Qinglian. This meal looks very sumptuous. Very good, very good. Xiao
Junior brother, I think you are becoming more and more diligent now."
"Well"
Zhao Xun was noncommittal about third senior brother Long Qingquan's evaluation.
In his view, the word hardworking can be viewed from two aspects.
On the one hand, it may actually be a compliment.
But on the other hand, it may be mocking you as a big bastard.
After all, for Zhao Xun, the current state has actually lasted for a long time.
Zhao Xun has been so blind for such a long time, running around for three meals a day and fighting for all the people in the academy. He is indeed a big injustice.
"Well"
Zhao Xun was indeed embarrassed at this moment.
"Junior brother, don't mind it too much. That's actually what I said."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan said with a smile.
"It's okay, Third Senior Brother, I won't mind if you overthink it. Let's carry these snacks out together."
"Um"
Zhao Xun definitely did not use the word "carry" wrongly.
Because at this moment, a dazzling array of snacks has filled the kitchen table and eucalyptus board.
At this moment, they were forced to find a door panel and put all the snacks on it.
Zhao Xunzai and his third senior brother Long Qingquan lifted them up one after another and walked out of the kitchen.
If someone saw this posture, they would definitely scream in surprise.
Fortunately, Wangcai is not here at this time. If Wangcai sees it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhao Xun has seen the unprecedented power of Wangcai. Once this guy becomes ruthless, he will not be recognized by his relatives.
Zhao Xun was also quite frightened after seeing it.
So I tried my best to avoid Wangcai and make sure that while Wangcai was still sleeping in, he brought this table of delicious food to his mentor, Taoist Master Qinglian.
Otherwise, if Wangcai intercepted him on the way, he would not even be a scumbag.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, and he never likes exaggeration.
It is Wangcai who really has such fighting power.
To ensure the absolute safety of the ingredients, we must be extremely meticulous and meticulous, without making any mistakes or omissions.
Otherwise, I will definitely cry when the time comes
Generally speaking, the cooperation between Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan is quite perfect.
They quickly carried the door panel to the bamboo building where their mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi lived.
Since we are showing hospitality, we naturally need to show some sincerity.
Zhao Xun winked at Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan and motioned for them to carry it up directly.
Anyway, we have reached the last step, and the service is in place and delivered to your door.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan didn't say much about this.
Anyway, for him, this is just a free ride, so don't ask for so much.
Soon Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan arrived at the second-floor bamboo building.
Seeing that his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi was still picking his feet, Zhao Xun cleared his throat as a reminder.
Good guy, it’s just that his mentor is picking his feet in front of him, but his third senior brother is considered an outsider to him.
At this time, the teacher should still be careful to restrain his emotions and not act too arrogant.
After receiving the signal from Zhao Xun, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi immediately understood what it meant. He stopped picking his feet and returned to sitting upright.
Only then did Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan walk closer and put down the door panel.
"Teacher, our banquet has been prepared and brought to you. How is the service?"
"Well, not bad, not bad."
My mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi nodded with satisfaction and said: "You brat, you are really serious now. I am very pleased to be able to perform so well as a teacher."
I have to say that my mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi is also a real foodie.
In the past, Zhao Xun didn't feel it was too obvious, but after getting along for a long time, Zhao Xun found that this was clearly reflected.
Teacher, teacher, you must remain reserved.
After all, you are also a senior. If you look too ugly in front of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, not only Zhao Xun will feel a little embarrassed, but you yourself will also be embarrassed.
"Come, come, let's all eat together. I'm sure I can't finish it all by myself."
Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.
Good guy, my mentor doesn’t really think that all the dishes on this table are prepared for him alone, right?
Even the big eater and the rice eater would not be able to eat so much.
So say
It is still necessary to try his best to ensure that all the dishes on this table can be eaten within a reasonable range. Otherwise, Zhao Xun is really afraid that his teacher will have some problems if he eats alone.
"Thank you, mentor."
Zhao Xun smiled, picked up the kuaizi and ate a vegetarian meatball.
I have to say that Zhao Xun is very affectionate towards Su Wanzi.
After all, this is his childhood memory and the taste of his childhood.
As for the third senior brother Long Qingquan, he prefers French fries.
My mentor, Taoist Master Qinglian, was a bit heavy-handed and I started eating several pieces of stinky tofu at once.
Judging from his attitude of eating stinky tofu, he is like no one else.
Zhao Xun even felt that his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi was born just to eat stinky tofu.
A person who loves stinky tofu so much is actually rare in this day and age.
"Teacher, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Zhao Xun saw his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, looking like he was devouring food, and for a while he didn't know what to say.
"Delicious"
At this moment, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi was completely immersed in the state of eating.
A foodie, a foodie soul, everyone is a foodie.
Maintaining a pure state of eating was the only thing on Wu Quanyi's mind at this moment.
Zhao Xun couldn't say much at this moment.
After all, my mentor has been busy for such a long time, so it is appropriate to enjoy a delicious feast.
Let him eat to his heart's content next.
"Come on, come on, Master, please try this cold noodles again."
It has to be said that preparing a feast is quite meaningful, at least in a short period of time Zhao Xun no longer has to choose.
There are so many snacks and so many delicacies, you can eat whatever you want.
Why do adults do multiple-choice questions?
Sorry, I want them all!
After eating and drinking, they naturally went back to their respective homes to rest.
It turns out that rest is quite important.
Especially taking a rest after eating a full meal can put people in a completely comfortable state.
Zhao Xun has always had the habit of taking a lunch break, and at this time he fell asleep without any hesitation.
This time Zhao Xun did not dream, but slept until he woke up naturally.
It wasn't until Zhao Xun woke up that he realized Wangcai had been sitting here for quite a while.
"Uh, Wangcai, why are you here?"
"Brother Mingyun, do you know what kind of state the current situation has reached? Journey to the West has become so popular that it's crazy. Everyone is very interested in Journey to the West, whether it's Journey to the West or not.
The novels, extras, peripherals and adapted scripts have all gained popularity. Under such circumstances, there is no problem in saying that the current Chang'an City is ruled by Journey to the West."
"Uh, is it so exaggerated?"
Zhao Xun found that Wangcai was really excited at this moment. He had rarely seen Wangcai so excited. It seemed that Journey to the West had reached a certain level of popularity.
Normally speaking, if you want to make money, you should be quite calm.
But this is obviously not the case.
The fat on Wangcai's face was trembling now, and Zhao Xun could clearly feel that Wangcai was going crazy.
"Hahaha, good thing, really good thing. Can I be lazy and update a little slower?"
But who would have thought that as soon as he said this, Wangcai rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Mingyun, I didn't come to you just to hear what you said. I came to you to hope that you could cooperate with me more comprehensively and write Journey to the West."
Bigger and stronger."
"Um?"
Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard this.
In his opinion, the peripherals that can be developed for Journey to the West should already be under development.
Anything else missing?
Zhao Xun was really confused.
"Wangcai, if you think there is room for further development, why not mention it."
I don’t know what Wangcai was thinking, but Zhao Xun felt that he really tried his best.
Almost everything that can be developed has already been developed.
From what Wangcai meant, is there anything missing?
"Oh, brother Mingyun, I think these are just small moves. If we want to come, we will make a big move, the kind that will make a lot of money."
Wangcai's appetite is getting bigger and bigger now, and this is considered a small move.
Zhao Xun called him an expert in his heart.
However, for Wangcai, the most important thing is to maintain the growth of profits at the moment.
The popularity of Journey to the West is so high at this moment, and from the perspective of a businessman pursuing profit, he will definitely not let it go.
So for Zhao Xun, the most important thing now is to cooperate with Wangcai to think about whether there is any place that is good for development. If there is, don't miss it.
"Well, your suggestion is to make a big move. Then I think we may have to invest in building a theme park."
"Theme Park?"
When Wangcai heard these four words, his eyes widened like cowbells.
It was obvious that he had never heard of this word, but in fact he was already accustomed to some new words popping out of Zhao Xun's mouth from time to time.
From Wangcai's point of view, this is perfectly normal.
Anyway, Brother Mingyun will definitely explain this term when the time comes.
What he had to do was to have a passionate discussion with Brother Ming Yun after he explained the term.
As expected, Zhao Xun opened his mouth and said.
"The so-called theme park is a type of park. But this kind of park is not a park in a general sense, but has a theme throughout. With a theme, everyone can adapt to everything perfectly.
As for this theme, everyone can play around this theme. Of course, this will also make you feel quite happy."
"Well"
Wangcai didn't seem to understand because of this, and was still confused.
"Brother Mingyun, according to your statement, this theme park should be built in the most prosperous area."
"good."
Zhao Xun's heart and wealth are worthy of his talent for business, and he can tell at a glance.
"Due to the unique attributes of theme parks, if they can be built in the most prosperous places, they can often play their greatest role."
Zhao Xun paused and said: "To put it bluntly, places like this have the largest flow of people, attract money the fastest, and make money the fastest."
Since prosperity requires the pursuit of maximum efficiency in making money, since it must pursue the fastest speed of making money.
Building a theme park is the only way.
"Moreover, this theme park is not just about playing, but a one-stop service of eating, drinking and playing. We can let the guests experience whatever they want. For example, we want to build a Journey to the West theme park,
You can build Daughter's Kingdom, Pansi Cave, Flame Mountain and other scenic spots. Basically, each scenic spot can be narrated as an independent story. This will definitely be popular."
Zhao Xun's vision in this aspect is still much higher than Wangcai's.
The plans he proposed to boost wealth had never been heard of before.
However, Wangcai did not respond immediately after hearing Zhao Xun's thoughts, but analyzed them carefully.
For Wangcai, he is good at calculation and likes to calculate.
In his opinion, if he can calculate perfectly, he can ensure the maximization of interests.
He rarely makes money-losing trades.
As long as there is an opportunity, Wangcai will implement all means to make money to the maximum extent.
The theme park plan proposed by Zhao Xun is indeed quite good in his opinion, but the investment will definitely not be small.
"Brother Mingyun, how much money do you estimate it will cost?"
"It depends on where you are going to buy land. Are you going to buy land in the West Market or in the East Market? Are you going to buy land in Leyouyuan or in Qujiangfang? The prices in these places must be the same
It's different. Of course, you can also rent it for a long time. But I don't recommend that you rent it. Because if you rent it, the price of the land may increase at any time, and you have no way to do it. So it's best to buy it all at once.
The land required. Although I have not done a careful calculation, but a rough calculation, from the time you buy the land to build the entire theme park, you should need at least a hundred thousand taels, and as much as a few hundred thousand taels of silver."
I behaved well.
Wangcai was shocked when he heard this.
Good guy, brother Ming Yun really dares to say it.
Hundreds of thousands taels, hundreds of thousands taels
This silver coin is definitely a lot of money.
You know, the annual tax of the Zhou court was only a few million taels.
If building a Journey to the West theme park requires spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it can't be considered a small amount of money.
But it seems that Brother Mingyun doesn't think there is any problem with this.
After all, for Brother Mingyun, he doesn't need to pay.
Giving money is definitely a matter of prosperity.
Therefore, prosperity must be measured carefully.
If it was more than a hundred thousand taels, he could still raise it.
But if it's several hundred thousand taels, even if the Wangcai family sells their house, they probably won't be able to raise it.
"Will this require too much money?"
"The land price in Chang'an is so expensive, and if you want to build a theme park in a prosperous place, it has to be at this price."
Zhao Xun helplessly spread his hands and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. As long as we can get some of the money, we can then raise it. For such a large project, it is almost impossible for a family to finish it alone.
We definitely need to find partners. The first purpose of finding partners is to relieve financial pressure. The second is to share risks.”
“Share the risk?”
"Of course, although I predict that this Journey to the West theme park will become popular once it is established, you still have to be cautious about everything. I think there is a very small chance that it will make a loss initially. But it should eventually turn a profit.
of."
No matter what, Zhao Xun still wants to instill this concept in Wangcai.
Investment is risky and needs to be considered with caution and prudence.
Even if it is the hottest project, the most popular project still needs to be fully investigated before investing.
Ensure that the entire project is within a relatively controllable scope.
Otherwise, accidents are still very likely to occur.
"Um"
Wangcai obviously fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He must be responsible for his family's money and the money of his partners.
Although the Pan family is considered a wealthy businessman, their wealth is huge and rivals that of the country.
But the money they earn is also earned through hard work.
Therefore, you must plan appropriately to ensure that there is no risk before investing money.
"Brother Ming Yun, how long will it take to build this theme park?"
"Ah, this. I don't think it's very good. If it's fast, it should only take a few months. If it's slow, it might not be completed in a year. Again, the key is to see what kind of quality you want to build.
It’s different from the scale. The quality is different from the scale, so of course everything is different.”
Zhao Xun spread his hands and said: "But I think that given Wangcai's requirements for quality and scale, it must be above average. So I think it will take at least half a year to build the Journey to the West theme park.
Is it barely enough to watch?”
"Well"
Wangcai fell into deep thought for a while.
For Wangcai, half a year can be said to be quite a long time.
Few of the projects that the Pan family has invested in before require such a long investment cycle.
It can only be said that this Journey to the West theme park is indeed a quite large project.
Can he really eat it in one bite?
Wangcai is a person who rarely hesitates, but at this moment he really hesitated.
"Brother Mingyun, I am a little worried that this Journey to the West theme park will lose money. This is not a small number. If I invest hundreds of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it is equivalent to putting my entire family into it.
If I can make money, I’ll be fine, but if I lose money, I’ll really want to cry without tears.”
"call"
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"So I can actually only give you one suggestion on this matter. You still have to consider whether you want to do it or not."
Zhao Xun said helplessly: "Anyway, I actually have quite little money on hand, so I can't give you much help. Wangcai, you should still think about what to do."
Zhao Xun must not encourage Wangcai at this time, he must be allowed to think clearly on his own.
Otherwise, Wangcai will inevitably complain about him in the future, and the relationship between the two may even have problems.
Therefore, Zhao Xun must give Wangcai sufficient time to consider.
Only in this way can we ensure that there will be no problems.
"Well, let me think about it again."
Wangcai was really scared at this moment.
For him, everything at the moment needs to be carefully considered.
Zhao Xun could only give him one suggestion.
The final decision can only be made by himself.
"Brother Mingyun, if we really build this Journey to the West theme park, will we have to invest a lot of money in publicity?"
"I'm afraid it is necessary at the beginning. The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. By the way, it brings wealth. In fact, you can use Journey to the West itself to promote it. For example, promote this theme at the end of the novel Journey to the West
Paradise, wouldn’t this be able to keep costs down?”
Zhao Xun still pays great attention to the so-called details.
Some seemingly inconspicuous details, if done well, can basically give people a lot of benefits from the beginning.
Wangcai is a very clever person, so he will definitely understand what Zhao Xun means.
"Well, that's a good idea."
After Wangcai thought about it carefully, he felt that this method was indeed worth trying.
"I thought about it and realized that I really could give it a try, but I just need to bring in a few more people to share the risk. In this way, if one family can pay about 100,000 taels, the pressure will not be too great."
Zhao Xun agrees with Wangcai's argument.
Ensuring that allies share risks is very important in business cooperation.
After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds, but from hard work.
Everyone will consider the issue of financial return.
If you can pay back as scheduled, then it will be a good job.
If there are some problems in terms of returns, if several companies share the responsibility, the pressure will be much less.
If only Wangcai's family had to bear this risk, Zhao Xun could imagine the pressure that the little fat man would feel when the time came.
This is really not a pressure that ordinary people can bear.
If by that time the smile is no longer visible on Wangcai’s face, then it will really be a loss that outweighs the gain.
Of course Zhao Xun didn't want the situation to come to that point.
For him, prosperity is truly good.
So sharing the risk is an excellent solution.
"But there is one thing, Wangcai, I still want to make it clear, that is, we would rather have fewer partners enter the market, and we must ensure that all partners are reliable. The reason why I say this
It is because we have considered that Emperor Xianlong, who is not a son of man, may appear at any time, and he is likely to deal a heavy blow to us. If the Dog Emperor is allowed to seize the opportunity, he will definitely not be merciful."
Zhao Xun's reminder is just right and very crucial.
Wangcai must also understand this.
Before, they suffered no less from the imperial court and from the dog emperor Xianlong Emperor.
Every time I have to bear it and start the vest again.
But at that time I was writing a book, so at worst I could just change my vest and start writing again.
There is no way to change vests in this theme park.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of real money were invested, and that was all hard-earned money.
If it is really taken away, it will be like crying without tears.
Therefore, when choosing allies and investment partners, Wangcai must keep his eyes open and ensure that every cooperative ally is absolutely reliable.
If it is unreliable, then no matter how much money he has, he cannot ask for it.
"Well, I understand what you mean."
Wangcai nodded and said, "Brother Mingyun, what kind of people do you think will come to our theme park to spend money?"
"This is a bit interesting."
Zhao Xun thought to himself: "Basically, everyone who comes to our theme park has read Journey to the West. And those who have read Journey to the West are generally scholars. The life of a scholar may not be so luxurious, but it is definitely a good life. Except for a very small number of poor people,
Scholars, these people generally don’t have spare money to buy novels. So I conclude that middle-class or upper-middle-class scholars in Chang’an City may come. Of course, it may not be just them, they are still very likely to bring them
Their relatives and children. If they bring their relatives and children with them, the power of consumption will be different."
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Seeing that Zhao Xun's words were clear and logical, Wangcai was extremely surprised for a while.
Good guy, brother Ming Yun is really powerful.
"Well, from this point of view, the prospects are actually very good. As long as more than half of those who have watched Journey to the West come to our theme park, we will be able to make a lot of money."
"Well, then there is the issue of pricing. The ticket price can determine many things. Maybe if you set it too high, people will not come. If you set it too low, it may be difficult to recover the money. So this must be done as much as possible.
If possible, do some market research."
Zhao Xun said very seriously: "For example, you first need to understand the source of income of the scholars in Chang'an City, how much their income is, and how much of their income they are willing to spend. Of course, different people have different consumption concepts.
It’s also different, we can take an average value.”
Zhao Xun paused, swallowed and continued: "So only by clarifying these, can we respond in a targeted manner. Otherwise, we are actually deceiving. It's okay if we are right, but if we are wrong,
That would really mean losing all your money.”
"Well"
Wangcai thought about it carefully, and found that there was really a lot of knowledge and teachings in it.
It's really not easy to think calmly. At the moment, it really requires all-round thinking.
"Yeah, so we still have a lot of work to do. The preparation period should be quite long."
"Anyway, I think we need to prepare for at least a month. In this way, we can get as much information as possible. Only in this way can we ensure that everything is under our control. Otherwise
If so, it could really overturn at any time."
Zhao Xun must explain all the risks to Wangcai clearly, so that Wangcai will not make decisions blindly.
Building a theme park is definitely a big move.
If you can become popular, you will definitely be making money every day.
"Well, I will arrange for someone to do the research right away."
"One more thing, Wangcai. Do you want to arrange accommodation in the theme park of Journey to the West? If you want, then you can eat, drink, have fun and live in one train. If you want to stay, you need to build a theme inn. This is another comparison.
Additional income. But I think if possible, we should add the inn. The inn makes a lot of money."
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said: "For example, you can decorate the inn room completely according to the style in Journey to the West. For example, you can decorate the inn into a set as much as possible. When recommending, you can also design it according to the guests.
Recommend according to their preferences. For example, some people like clean style, and some people like brighter ones. We recommend different inns to them according to their different preferences. I believe no one would not like this kind of exquisite and accurate service.
"
"Well"
Wangcai was completely obsessed with hearing this.
Zhao Xun's views on theme parks are obviously consistent. This cannot be something he came up with on the fly. It is likely that he has already thought about it from the beginning.
So Zhao Xun wanted to build a theme park a long time ago?
Wangcai felt very excited for a moment, gearing up and said: "Brother Mingyun, this theme park of yours should have always been a dream, right?"
"Well, it can indeed be regarded as a dream, but we are short of money and cannot afford to build it."
Zhao Xun spread his hands and didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.
"So I have to rely on you this time. Wangcai, you are the son of the top wealthy businessman in Chang'an City. If you don't have this power, I think it will basically be difficult to do it."
Zhao Xun knew the importance of flattering Wangcai at this time.
This will make you feel prosperous and immersed in it.
As long as Wangcai can immerse himself in it, Zhao Xun's goal will basically be achieved.
"Yeah, I'll think about this carefully."
Wangcai thought that once he picked up this theme park, it would be a cash cow.
As long as you keep operating and operating, you can continue to attract money.
Maybe it won't be long before wealthy people can become truly wealthy as a result.
There are millions of taels of silver piled up in the warehouse at home, but they are piled up like a hill.
If Wangcai is willing, he can still swim in and enjoy the mountains of gold and silver.
This is indeed extremely wonderful.
It is indeed extremely attractive
In fact, Zhao Xun has always believed that theme parks are a very reasonable marketing model.
It's just that I haven't brought it up yet because the time hasn't come yet.
After Wangcai asked suddenly, he took the initiative and said a few words to help the situation.
It can be said that Wangcai has definitely opened the door to a new world.
As for what Wangcai will do next, Zhao Xun hasn't thought about it for a while.
But it is obvious that Wangcai will seriously analyze the rationality of establishing a Journey to the West theme park.
Perhaps Wangcaihui thought it would be too expensive to build such a theme park and eventually gave up.
Maybe Wangcai will finally make up his mind.
These possibilities all exist, and these possibilities are all there.
Zhao Xun will not make any other judgments based on these possibilities.
But there is no doubt that he will respect Wangcai's decision.
Regardless of whether Wangcai ultimately decides to build a theme park or give up building a theme park, Zhao Xun will definitely choose to respect Wangcai's decision.
This is mainly because this project is so big.
Even the Pan family may not be able to eat it directly.
This requires too much courage.
Even if Wangcai does not do well, Zhao Xun will not laugh at him.
Of course, it would be best if it could be built.
After all, Zhao Xun also hopes to do something in this era that can be remembered and change people's lives.
To be honest, although Chang'an is prosperous, there are too few entertainment activities. At night, when the gates are closed, the only entertainment activities that can be thought of are basically listening to operas in the Liyuan and listening to music at Goulan.
This is really boring.
But if this theme park could exist, it would definitely completely change the living habits of the people in Chang'an City in different aspects.
Even those who cannot afford a theme park may set up a lofty ambition or a small goal because of this. They want to work hard for it, want to get ahead because of it, and one day be able to enter this theme park.
among.
If this goal can be achieved, then Zhao Xun will feel that his advice to make money is not in vain.
Of course, Journey to the West may not be the only theme park.
If Zhao Xun publishes a new book in the future, he can also create a new theme park based on the popularity of the new book.
As long as the consumption habits of the people in Chang'an City are cultivated, the rest is actually very simple and will just fall into place.
However, cultivating consumption habits is not as easy as imagined. It requires a lot of energy and a lot of money.
In short, there must be early investment, and early publicity is even more sufficient, and it is best to be overwhelming.
As soon as marketing becomes a thing, it will definitely make people want to try it subconsciously.
Maybe some people were not that interested in this Journey to the West theme park at first, but they were just a little curious.
I went to look at the scenery out of curiosity, but I immediately became addicted to it and couldn't extricate myself from it.
This possibility is definitely possible.
The creation of the entertainment system itself is a large and systematic project, which cannot be completed by one or two people in one or two years.
In particular, he wanted to change people's habits left over thousands of years in a feudal era like the Great Zhou world.
This will of course take a long time, and you will likely experience a lot of labor pains.
But Zhao Xun believes that as long as he is willing to make a decision, he will be able to achieve his goal in the end.
The key is to see how Wangcai makes the decision. He feels that with Wangcai's character, it shouldn't take long to make up his mind.
"Brother Mingyun, I have already discussed it. The Zhang family, the He family, the Liu family, and the Wei family plus our Pan family will all spend one hundred thousand taels to invest in this Journey to the West theme park project!"
At this moment, Wangcai still showed a unique momentum.
He completely stood up in front of Zhao Xun.
"Uh, have you thought about it?"
Zhao Xun felt somewhat surprised.
After all, for Zhao Xun, everything happening now can be said to be like a dream.
After all, half a million taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if a top wealthy businessman like Wangcai wants to come up with it, it is not a simple matter. Instead, he needs to find a partner to get it together.
From this point of view, Wangcai definitely made this decision after going through an extremely fierce ideological struggle, right?
No matter what, Wangcai is a courageous person.
At this moment, Zhao Xun still wanted to give him applause.
But the premise is, has he really thought about it?
Is it just a momentary impulse, or is it a decision made after intense thinking?
Zhao Xun must understand this.
He can't watch Wangcai do stupid things, let alone watch Wangcai do stupid things without knowing it.
It would be too tragic if Wangcai regrets it in the future.
"Well, I have thought about it carefully. After I went back and analyzed the suggestions given to me by Brother Mingyun, I think this is the best time to invest in theme parks. Because Journey to the West is now in the stage of explosion. At this time, invest in themes
Paradise, hot money can come in and is willing to come in. If you wait until Journey to the West becomes less popular, then it will be much more difficult to find people to invest."
Good guy, Wangcai is indeed a person with business talent, his understanding is different.
Zhao Xun didn't even need to say anything to him, Wangcai could appreciate it just right.
It's simply too strong.
certainly
Wangcai's current state is also a reaction after taking chicken blood.
Whether the three-minute popularity can be maintained forever is what Zhao Xun is more concerned about.
Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Wangcai, there are some things I shouldn't have said. I'm afraid that it will dampen your enthusiasm. But if I don't say it, I'm afraid you will take a detour. After thinking about it, I still
Say it."
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, so he will not be too entangled on this issue.
Whatever you say is the best thing to do.
At this moment, Zhao Xun really hopes to make Wangcai truly understand the risks of investing in Journey to the West theme park.
"Wangcai, can you continue to maintain your current enthusiasm? Or will everything change after a while?"
"this"
After Wangcai thought about it carefully, he said seriously: "I should be able to maintain it continuously. Don't forget the original intention. Isn't this what you have always said, brother Mingyun? Since we are going to build this Journey to the West theme park, then we must
I hope this theme park can be completely improved."
"Well, if you can keep persisting, then I think you can do it."
After knowing that Wangcai could persevere, the stone in Zhao Xun's heart could finally be put on the ground for the time being.
"Then the partners you got are really reliable, right?"
"Of course it's reliable. These are all family friends of my Pan family, and the relationship is not generally good. After the cooperation, it can be said to be a perfect match, a strong alliance. Not only can we guarantee the investment of funds, but we can also use the resources of each family to improve Journey to the West."
The theme park will be integrated to ensure that the entire Journey to the West theme park is always in perfect condition."
"Um"
Zhao Xun's heart is so clear that he can already see things so far away.
If it were Zhao Xun, he would definitely not be able to see so far at once.
But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter even if you only get a close look. As long as you are willing to invest money and make rational and sustained investments, this Journey to the West theme park will definitely be built.
Moreover, Zhao Xun believes that with the popularity of Journey to the West Theme Park, it will become the most shining presence in the entire Chang'an City in quite some time. And it will have almost no rivals.
With the Journey to the West theme park, the lives of the people in Chang'an City will be completely changed.
That kind of change from top to bottom is the easiest way to make a complete change.
"It's a great way to make money, and we must ensure that the government won't suppress you. You have invested so much money this time, and you must not let it go to waste."
Five hundred thousand taels, this is five hundred thousand taels of silver.
This amount of money is not a small amount. This amount of money can easily make people lose their minds.
Therefore, to make money, you must learn to control your emotions and be able to think rationally.
Never be impulsive unless absolutely necessary.
"Well, don't worry. I have invested so much money, and I will naturally be responsible for the money I invested. Brother Mingyun, just don't worry."
"Um"
After hearing this, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I'll leave the theme park planning to you. After you come up with the plan, I can help you improve it."
"good."
desert.
Jia Xingwen held the horse's rein with one hand, and held the compass given to him by Zhao Xun in the other hand.
The compass is really useful in the desert.
This can at least ensure that they are on the right path, and at least it can ensure that they will not be too seriously affected.
Without a compass, you would most likely be spinning in circles in this vast desert.
The pressure brought by this is not ordinary.
"call"
Jia Xingwen was already a little tired at this moment.
But he knew that he couldn't show it in the slightest at this time.
Because countless soldiers of the Anxi Army and the members of the Western Regions envoy caravan they were escorting were all staring at him.
If Jia Xingwen showed such emotions, the emotions of these people would definitely show up as well.
Once the emotions of a group arise, it is very difficult to control them.
So no matter how difficult it feels, Jia Xingwen must grit his teeth.
No matter how difficult it feels, Jia Xingwen must endure it.
"call"
It is not easy to control emotions. It is very difficult to control emotions.
But as a person in a superior position, as a leader, it is very important to grasp these key points.
"General Jia, look, there is a lake over there."
A lake suddenly appeared in the vast desert?
When Jia Xingwen heard this, his first reaction was disbelief.
Isn't it a ghost?
The possibility of ghosting in the desert is quite high.
What they saw were actually objects from other places and then projected into the desert.
In fact, it is not located in this location in the desert.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen was not sure, and said in a deep voice: "Let's send someone to have a look first. If it is really a lake, we will go there to rest first."
Walking in the desert for a long time will cause a person's spirit to collapse. Often the body also collapses together with the spirit.
Jia Xingwen hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time.
But he felt that if he continued to persist, this feeling would eventually come before long.
After all, it had been a long time since they left the abandoned city, and the water had hardly been replenished during this time.
The water in the water bladder has reached the bottom. If the water source can no longer be found, it is likely that the entire army will face countless situations where there is nothing to drink.
If you really find a lake at this time, it will really save your life.
"Woo"
At this moment, Jia Xingwen's condition is still quite good.
He desperately hoped to see a real lake, so that at least the crisis would be resolved in a short time.
After a while, the scout reported back that there was indeed a lake ahead.
At this time, the rock Jia Xingwen was hanging on could finally fall to the ground.
"Go down with the order and go to the lake to camp and rest."
This is a crescent-shaped lake. The area of the lake is not large, but it should be very deep.
In such a desert area, if the lake is very shallow, it will not take long for it to evaporate.
According to Jia Xingwen's judgment, the water source of this lake should be groundwater.
He tried it and found it was not salty, but watery.
very good.
This can really be regarded as life-saving water.
With this fresh water, Jia Xingwen can take a perfect rest.
Not only could he rest, but the entire Anxi army and the entire envoy caravan could rest.
If a person keeps tightening his nerves, he won't be able to hold on for long.
If a person keeps tightening his nerves, he will not be able to resist for long.
If a person never rests, he will collapse sooner or later.
Jia Xingwen is very clear about this.
So although he decided to run the army strictly.
But when it's time to rest, he won't hesitate and will definitely let the soldiers get the rest they deserve.
"General Jia, how long does it take for us to reach the sandbank now?"
"It's hard to say. How long has it been since we left the Protectorate? A month?"
"It should be less than a month, about twenty days? It should be more than twenty days."
"It actually didn't take long. I think it will take at least two months to reach the sandbank."
Jia Xingwen's judgment was based on the fact that they did not take the wrong path and did not encounter sandstorms, bandits or other emergencies along the way.
If there is a natural or man-made disaster, the time will definitely be extended even further.
At present, everything is developing relatively well.
If they could reach the sandbank smoothly, Jia Xingwen felt that they were completely safe.
Because starting from the sandbank, basically a series of cities were firmly in the hands of the Zhou court.
They only need to move forward along the Hexi Corridor, and they only need to keep moving forward to reach the preset place.
Chang'an! Their destination, Chang'an!
Jia Xingwen was born and raised in Chang'an, so he is extremely familiar with Chang'an.
But some people in the Anxi Army came from all over the Zhou Dynasty, and they may have never been to Chang'an, let alone these members of the envoy caravan from the Hu State in the Western Regions.
Most of them have never been to Chang'an.
So this time is also the first time in their lives.
Since it was my first time, I was naturally full of curiosity.
Since it was my first time, I was naturally full of excitement.
Many times people subconsciously realize that Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world.
This is probably the result of long-term effects.
After all, to everyone, Chang'an is like an extremely magical wonderland.
Since it is a fairyland, it is natural to feel that it is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Since it is a fairyland, many people feel that they will never have the chance to touch it in their lifetime.
But for Jia Xingwen, he knew that Chang'an was not as beautiful as these people imagined.
Chang'an is very prosperous, but Chang'an still has shack areas where poor people gather.
There are rich people in Chang'an, but there are still poor people in ragged clothes.
Every situation is relative and there is no absolute.
Any situation needs to be compared, and only after comparison can we understand where to go.
What life originally brings to people is an almost idealistic hope.
With hope, people feel that life has a head start.
With hope, people feel energetic.
But in fact, not all hopes can eventually become reality.
Real life is not as beautiful as they first imagined.
But no matter what, for Jia Xingwen, he must bring this army to Chang'an safely.
Because this is his promise, it is his promise to Protector Liu Lin
Zhongnan Mountain.
The face of the Demon Sect's high priest was solemn.
In the past few days, the Academy's array has been consuming more and more slowly.
Wu Oris was very frustrated for a while and came to ask more than once what the problem was.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect responded that there was actually no big problem, it was just that the academy added more energy when charging.
The academy uses their personal energy to fill up the consumption of this formation. The mana consumption of the academy's formation has reached a point where it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
For a moment, the High Priest of the Demon Sect was at a loss.
call
These guys are really ruthless, and they are willing to use their own personal cultivation skills to supplement the entire magic circle.
Not everyone can have such determination.
You must know that it is not enough to fill in the holes this time. You need to fill in the holes continuously.
It would be okay if you only fill one hole, but if you need to fill holes again and again, it will take a lot of courage and determination.
The question is, can anyone provide this courage and determination?
The current performance of the disciples in the academy is okay.
But can they stay the course?
For this question, the High Priest of the Demon Sect cannot give an answer now.
So he suggested Wu Oris to continue to persevere. It would be exhausted anyway.
If we give up at this time, all the previous efforts made by the Corruptor Alliance will be in vain, which would be a pity.
Therefore, the High Priest of the Demon Sect felt that he must bite the bullet no matter what.
As long as they can persist, there will always be hope.
Hope itself is not a great thing, but hope can keep people motivated to forge ahead.
Even the Corruptor needs to have hope sometimes.
Another somewhat serious issue that the Demon Sect High Priest needs to consider now is, at the current rate, how long will it take for the academy's protective formation to be completely dissipated?
How long does it take?
The High Priest of the Demon Sect didn't know.
"Well"
If it takes a long time, can the Corruptors be able to endure it?
The reason why the Corruptors have barely been able to hold on until now is because they still have time.
But what if we are close to the deadline set by Satan? What should we do if we reach that time? Can they still be able to endure it?
Wu Oris and Jeff Lun have very different personalities.
Wu Oris has a hot temper, while Jeffron is relatively calm.
But neither Wuolis nor Jefflen can keep calm all the time, right?
For them, changes in mood may lead to overall loss of control.
How should the High Priest of the Demon Sect respond at that time?
It should be said that from the moment he joined the Corruptor camp, the High Priest of the Demon Sect began to seriously consider this issue.
In his opinion, he and the Corruptors have the same or similar positions on certain issues.
For example, successfully summon the God of Darkness.
Of course, the Corruptors call the God of Darkness Satan. But this is just a difference in terminology. The High Priest of the Demon Sect feels that this does not have much to do with it. The key is whether their common goal can lead to success.
They were completely twisted into a rope and formed a complete synergy.
If possible, it can definitely be considered a good thing.
If it doesn't work, then the High Priest of the Demon Sect will have to find another way.
All in all, he had to make the two leaders of the Corruptors realize that they were in the same boat.
Only in this way will Wuoris and Jefflen not reset the card again for the Demon Sect High Priest.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect is very skilled in spying on the heavenly secrets. But just relying on the spying on the heavenly secrets does not seem to be enough to prove anything.
Because the secret you glimpse is only the result of what you saw at the time, and the secret may also be biased due to some objective things.
Therefore, what the High Priest of the Demon Sect saw may not be what actually happened in the end.
He must ensure that the Corruptors believe in the value of what he sees.
Otherwise, his position in the Corruptor Alliance camp would be very embarrassing.
"Well, it seems that we need to try to increase our strength next. We can't let the people in the academy continue to be so comfortable."
Although the protective shield is not completely damaged yet, its defensive power has dropped significantly compared to before.
So if you want to invade at this time, it is actually a very good time.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect himself had invaded the academy more than once before, and his target at that time was Zhao Xun, the only soft persimmon in the academy.
Zhao Xun was so weak that the High Priest of the Demon Sect could trample him to death with just one kick.
But Zhao Xun's luck was so good that every time the High Priest of the Demon Sect took action, his group of brothers, sisters and even the mountain chief would rush over to save people.
I wonder if Zhao Xun will have such good luck this time?
"Brother Ming Yun, this is all the plans we have made for the Journey to the West theme park. Take a look and see if there is anything that can be modified."
I have to say that Wangcai's personal strength is quite strong, and his execution ability is also quite strong. He basically does what he says without any sloppiness.
"Well, let me take a look then."
Basically, Zhao Xun can still be on the same channel as Wangcai. This can be seen in previous cooperation.
Of course, Zhao Xun still couldn't understand Wangcai's thinking on certain points.
But that doesn't mean that Zhao Xun couldn't understand everything. Most of them, the two still called.
"The Huoyan Mountain park is a bit too small. I think it can be expanded appropriately. The effect will be even better. The daughter country area is too close to Pansi Cave, which will affect the customer's perception.
and experience.”
Zhao Xun drew the outlines one by one with a pen and gave Wangcai some very reasonable suggestions.
In Zhao Xun's view, Wangcai's current situation is still under good control.
Some detailed problems are probably due to lack of experience and are not major problems.
As long as Wangcai can maintain his current status and hard work, Zhao Xun is quite optimistic that there will be a perfect result in the end.
Of course, the premise of everything is to ensure that Wangcai can continue to have enthusiasm.
From the current point of view, this should not be a big problem.
"Well, then I'll ask them to change these points and then make another version."
"By the way, Wangcai, I just looked over this rendering for a long time, why didn't I find a place selling peripheral products?"
"Well"
Wangcai was confused for a while.
"Peripherals? I seem to have forgotten to join them."
Zhao Xun was dumbfounded.
"How can that be done? The peripherals are the most critical. The sales of peripherals in the entire theme park can provide considerable profits. If this part is missing, then I am almost certain that your sales will drop by a large amount.
"
Zhao Xun, a business-minded person like Xindao Wangcai, should not have made such an obviously wrong judgment at this time.
"Well, I'll add him quickly."
"Wangcai, you must remember that the surrounding areas are where we can make the most money. Why do we want to build this theme park? Isn't it just to allow fans of Journey to the West to experience the world in the book up close? When they are in
Can you understand their mood when they are wandering around the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain in the theme park? Of course, the main purpose of doing this is to hope that they can spend money to buy peripherals. For example, we can make Journey to the West
Same style of clothes, bags and shoes.”
Zhao Xun felt that it was necessary for him to help Wangcai open his mind at this moment.
In fact, sometimes thinking is something that really needs to be sorted out.
Sometimes a person's thinking is limited to certain specific spaces and certain characteristic times. In this way, there will basically be no breakthroughs at all.
What Zhao Xun needs to do now is to help them open their minds.
The process of opening up your mind may not be as easy as you imagine, but it won't be that complicated either.
At least at this moment, Zhao Xun should have a complete set of ideas.
Don’t you have a lot of money? Then Zhao Xun will instill it in him. That’s enough.
After Wangcai listened to Zhao Xun's long speech, he felt as if he was enlightened.
For Wangcai, it was one thing when he heard Zhao Xun say it, but it was another thing when he did it himself.
When Wangcai heard what Zhao Xun said, he felt like, wow, how can it be so simple?
When you actually start planning your plan, you will feel that there are problems everywhere.
Could it be said that this reflects the gap in ability?
Or are you talking about some other details?
It is really difficult to describe the reason for Wangcai, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed not very optimistic.
Tsk tsk tsk
At this moment, Wangcai just wanted Zhao Xun to help him complete the specific details, so that he no longer had to rack his brains to think about these details.
But he knew that this was almost impossible. It was also impossible for him to do such a thing shamelessly.
So Wangcai could only take the advice Zhao Xun gave him and leave honestly.
Wait until he makes a complete plan before coming back
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong has been in a very good mood recently.
Because after learning that the Western Regions Envoy was coming to Chang'an to pay tribute, his appetite increased a lot.
In the past, he only ate one bowl of rice per meal, but now he can eat two bowls.
This Coke spoiled the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room. They thought it was their credit, and it was their superb cooking skills that made His Majesty the Emperor in the mood to eat more meals.
In addition to increasing his food intake, Emperor Xianlong also liked to go to other places in the palace to relax.
In the past, he always stayed in the Zichen Palace, never leaving the main door.
Today Emperor Xianlong summoned Master Huiyan and decided to go with him on a boat trip to Taiye Lake.
Taiye Pool is located on the north side of Daming Palace, adjacent to Shanglin Garden.
There is Penglai Island in Taiye Pool, and obtaining Penglai Immortal Island means getting it.
Compared to Qujiang Pool, Emperor Xianlong preferred boating in Taiye Pool.
The reason is that compared to Qujiang Pool, Taiye Pool is more private.
Although both are royal gardens, Qujiang Pool is open to the public, while Taiye Pool is completely closed and surrounded by imperial guards. This means that no one except the royal family can enter Taiye Pool.
Of course, except for guards, eunuchs and maids.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong and Master Huiyan boarded the dragon boat one after another.
The entire dragon boat is very huge, and there are countless people waiting and guarding it.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was in a good mood for a moment, looking at the vast misty waves.
"In the past, I always liked to shut myself in the palace, and it was easy to think about some weird things. Now it seems that this is my short-sightedness. If I can go out for a walk from time to time, even if it is just in this Taiye
Rafting in the pool can also make you feel good."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Master Huiyan followed Emperor Xianlong's words and said: "Your Majesty sits on the four seas, and the world belongs to your Majesty. If your Majesty is willing, you can go to the south of the Yangtze River, or even go to Sichuan to see the beautiful scenery. Of course, the scenery in the Western Regions is also excellent.
.”
"That's not necessary."
Emperor Xianlong smiled and shook his head and said: "Those places are too far away. If I go there once, I will feel quite tired. So the best situation is to stay in the palace and enjoy the beauty of the world."
Master Huiyan disagreed with Emperor Xianlong's argument.
Want to enjoy the beauty of the world while staying in the palace? This is simply impossible.
But at this moment, Emperor Xianlong said this, and he couldn't refute it.
Otherwise, Emperor Xianlong's face would not be at stake.
"Sometimes I think that if I have the opportunity, I can go to a place farther away, but this idea quickly dissipates. Because I understand that I am the emperor, and the emperor's duty is to rule from the top down."
Emperor Xianlong sighed with emotion: "If you want to go anywhere, how can you get there? The world is so big, and the world I rule is so big. Even if I stay in one place for one day, I can't even travel the whole country in one year.
.”
"Your Majesty, if we use teleportation, we may be able to solve this problem."
"Haha, Master Huiyan didn't tell me that I had forgotten that there is also teleportation. But if teleportation is used every time, it will consume too much national power, right?"
"That's true. However, since Zhou Dynasty's national power is prosperous, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Well"
Emperor Xianlong thought for a moment and then continued: "If you put it like this, there is nothing wrong with it. But"
Emperor Xianlong shook his head and said: "Even if I go there, what can I do? For example, I went to the Western Regions and saw the people and things in the Western Regions, but it is impossible to stay in the Western Regions forever, so I still have to return to Chang'an.
.So I am just a hurried passerby. Since I am a hurried passerby, I always feel that it has no meaning."
Emperor Xianlong looked at the problem from a completely different perspective than Master Huiyan.
"Your Majesty is wrong. When your Majesty goes to the Western Regions, he can bring the grandeur of the Central Plains and the vast prestige of the royal family. How can this be meaningless? Of course, Your Majesty will not be a passerby. Historians in the Western Regions are sure
It will be remembered vividly in history."
I have to say that Master Huiyan is really good at talking.
At least for now, what he said made Emperor Xianlong feel very comfortable and useful.
Those who have been in high positions for a long time naturally hope to be praised in all directions.
Emperor Xianlong was no exception.
Master Huiyan's praise of him was just right, neither harsh nor perfunctory.
"It's better to wait until the world is at peace before considering it."
Emperor Xianlong sighed: "Nowadays, there are constant wars. Even the door of my house is blocked by people. How can we sweep the world without sweeping one house?"
Emperor Xianlong’s emotion was not unreasonable.
Master Huiyan also knew what Emperor Xianlong was referring to.
In fact, the battle between the Academy and the Corruptors has been going on for a long time.
For a long period of time, the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, with each other winning and losing, but overall, no party had overwhelming pressure at all.
During the entire process, Emperor Xianlong was under pressure and ordered Master Huiyan to lead a forbidden army to help in the battle.
But the effect was not very good. In the end, Master Huiyan and the Corruptor Alliance fell out completely.
This result was something Emperor Xianlong did not expect, and it was also something he did not want to see.
But there is no way, there is no possibility of recovery at this point.
Emperor Xianlong didn't know what else to do except go all the way to the end and go to the dark side.
There is no way he could blame Master Huiyan.
After all, Master Huiyan is his biggest support at this moment.
As for the Corruptors, although they were allies in name, Emperor Xianlong did not trust them in his heart.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
What kind of good intentions can a group of demons from another world have?
Emperor Xianlong could even imagine that once a war broke out, the corruptors would definitely have some sinister thoughts.
After destroying the academy, the corruptors are likely to turn their attention to Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, it is unlikely that the dispute between the Academy and the Corruptors will come to an end in a short period of time. If Your Majesty wants to wait for this, you will have to wait for a long time."
Although he knew that this sentence was not pleasant, Master Huiyan still said it.
Because he knew that if he didn't say anything, the knot in Emperor Xianlong's heart would never be resolved.
The trouble should end it.
Since this incident happened because of him, Master Huiyan would have to make some remarks at this time.
"What does the holy monk mean by this? Is it because the Academy and the Corruptors are evenly matched?"
"Absolutely. The poor monk sees that the strength of the two is quite close. When the strength of the two sides is quite close, neither side will rush into action. They will only attack tentatively. An attack of this level is
There can be no result."
"Well"
Emperor Xianlong was stunned for a moment.
He felt that what Master Huiyan said was indeed very reasonable.
What we fight is for supplies, and what we fight for is consumption.
From this point of view, the academy is backed by the entire Zhongnan Mountain, so there is no shortage of supplies.
Not to mention the Corruptors, these are a group of immortal monsters that don't need to eat at all.
When neither side needs supplies, the competition is actually about hard power.
And the hard power of the two sides happens to be very close. In this case, it is normal that it is difficult to distinguish between them.
"Alas, I really underestimated them. Now it seems that attracting the Corruptors is like driving the tiger to devour the wolf. If the wolf is not swallowed by the time, the tiger will not be able to control it."
Emperor Xianlong was really helpless at this moment, but in Master Huiyan's view, the situation was not so bad that it could not be dealt with at all.
At least for now, the Corruptors and the Academy have always been at each other's throats.
Emperor Xianlong, on the other hand, sat firmly in the palace, watching the tiger fight from the mountain.
Isn't this a very ideal result?
What more?
"Your Majesty, if your Majesty is really worried, you can mobilize more troops. In this way, you can relieve your worries."
"Well, I also have this idea. The Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are countless frontier troops in various places. It is a pity that these troops are stationed there. I am going to issue an imperial edict and order them to come to Beijing to serve the king."
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong planned to repeat his old tricks.
As long as there was a slight disturbance, or Emperor Xianlong felt unsafe, he would usually issue an imperial edict, ordering troops from all over the country to come to Beijing to serve the king.
Even the Anxi Army from the Western Regions has been transferred back.
After all, in the eyes of Emperor Xianlong, Chang'an was the top priority, and the royal family was the top priority.
What does it matter if other places are invaded? The lives of people in other places are not as important as our own lives.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong's condition was basically stable.
"Then there is the question of seeking immortality. Wanting immortality is not a simple matter. I once asked Yuan Tiangang about this matter, but he did not give me a clear answer. This was the only time he took the initiative to donate elixirs.
, and also said that it can only prolong life, but cannot truly lead to immortality. I wonder if Master Huiyan has any other opinions?"
"Well"
Master Huiyan was stunned when he heard this.
Emperor Xianlong really asked a question that is difficult to answer.
Immortality has never been an easy thing.
The same applies even to emperors.
In fact, both Taoism and Buddhism have records about immortality, but the languages used in the records are different.
According to Master Huiyan, true immortals do not exist.
Those so-called immortals should all be fabricated. How can there be people who can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years at once?
If they really existed, they would be immortals in heaven, no different from the human world.
But who has actually seen the immortals in the sky?
There is absolutely no intersection between fairyland and the human world.
If there is a glimmer of opportunity, it is to ascend.
But how many people have successfully ascended through the ages?
I'm afraid there are only a handful of them.
And even among these few examples, there should be many that have no evidence.
so
Considering the question of immortality is itself a very illusory question.
But this question was asked by the supreme emperor in the world. Therefore, Master Huiyan could not completely ignore it.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of this poor monk, immortality may only exist in the fairy world, not in the human world."
Master Huiyan used a relatively euphemistic wording, hoping that Emperor Xianlong would hear it.
But it was obvious that Emperor Xianlong did not hear the underlying meaning.
"Well, if that's the case, is there any way for the holy monk to go to the fairy world?"
""
Master Huiyan was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't know how to answer Emperor Xianlong's question.
"Your Majesty, the only way to enter the immortal world is through ascension. There is no other way."
"Ascension?"
Emperor Xianlong's eyes shone brightly.
"What is ascension."
"The so-called ascension refers to the step from the human world to the fairy world. The realm of the most powerful cultivator in the human world is the super level. Those who reach the super level are called great masters. Super level grand masters are also among the few cultivators in the human world who have the opportunity to ascend.
To the Immortal Realm. But it does not mean that all super masters can ascend. This requires opportunities and depends on their own attitudes. Some people clearly have the opportunity but disdain to ascend. Some people clearly want to ascend but do not have the opportunity. In short
, only a very small number of people have the opportunity to ascend."
"Does that mean that if you want to ascend, you must at least reach the realm of a super-grade grandmaster?"
Emperor Xianlong had already heard it.
"good."
Master Huiyan nodded and said: "This is a condition that must be met, otherwise there is no hope."
Emperor Xianlong's expression darkened when he heard this.
He once really hoped that he would have the opportunity to reach the super level.
But now it seems almost impossible.
If he cannot reach the realm of a super-grade grandmaster, how can he talk about ascension?
