After Umbrella left unwillingly, Ji Changyun took out the list of gods with his backhand.
As the light moved, two phantoms appeared, and they were clearly Mr. Yan and Lan Yu.
"How is the situation in Xiyun Mansion recently?"
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, everything is fine."
Mr. Yan pondered and said: "In recent times, we have made certain improvements in engines, firearms, communications...all aspects."
"Because of the successful completion of our exhibition, we have established initial trust with all parties, so this new product was directly sent to deliver the photo stone."
"I believe that soon, the forces interested in buying will send people over, and we will have new orders soon."
Having said this, he paused.
After a while, Mr. Yan continued: "It's just that the Liansheng Sect of Congyun Mansion took away some of the craftsmen from our arsenal."
"After this period of preparation, they have set up a firearms production line and are using price cuts to compete with us for business."
Ji Changyun was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, the world is too big. Xiyun Mansion alone...can't possibly capture the entire market."
"Besides, although their prices are low, the quality of their products is shoddy. Our prices are high, but the quality and quantity are guaranteed."
"At most they can imitate some firearms, artillery and other low-end things, large instruments and cutting-edge technology... there is no way to imitate them."
"How much are firearms and artillery worth? What are really valuable are aircraft, battleships, and high-end technologies..."
Mr. Yan was suddenly enlightened and praised sincerely: "Master Marquis, I understand."
Ji Changyun nodded and looked at the phoenix shadow: "Lan Yu, where are you?"
Unexpectedly, after flapping his wings a few times, Lan Yu suddenly sighed: "You are so insidious, so sinister and cunning, with a heart like a snake and a scorpion."
Ji Changyun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Oh? Why did you say that?"
Lan Yu sighed: "I originally thought that you just wanted to make war money, but when I saw the situation in the world changing..."
Ji Changyun's eyes widened in confusion: "What do you see?"
"On the surface..."
Lan Yu said softly: "You are borrowing guns, planes and other war weapons to disrupt the world, change the shape of war, and seize war wealth."
"But in fact, your real killer move lies in people's livelihood... People's livelihood things are used for people, but the vast majority of people can't even read, so how can they learn to use them?"
"If people don't know how to use it, it will naturally not be popularized, and the efficiency of various industries will not be improved, let alone cultivate talents and develop their own research and development."
"So, if countries want to promote science and technology, they must improve the quality of their people, but this is exactly contrary to the aristocratic families and noble families."
"The aristocratic family hopes that the people will be as stupid as possible. It is best if they are illiterate, because only uneducated people will not think wildly..."
"Those who are kings must be based on the foundation of the country. Those who are noble must think of themselves. The two will inevitably have irreconcilable conflicts and eventually turn into hostility."
Ji Changyun narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally: "Keep talking."
Lan Yu looked at him deeply: "The power of science and technology has already become a deterrent to warriors. Most families are afraid of this."
"With the changes in the current situation, I can guarantee that... at least 90% of the world's aristocratic families, noble families, and local cowards will not be able to survive this disaster."
Other places are different from Xiyun Mansion.
At that time, Zuo Chongming first attacked local gangsters such as martial arts schools, aristocratic families, and sects.
Therefore, when Zuo Chongming later promoted science and technology, he did not encounter any resistance, because Xiyun Mansion was his one-stop shop.
Moreover, his implementation steps are step-by-step, starting with people's livelihood commodities, leaving ample time for the people to accept it.
And now the forces of Zheng and Hong, their understanding of technology is first of all weapons and equipment, and then people's livelihood...
Nowadays, most of these countries are caught in war and do not meet the conditions for the development of people's livelihood.
However, the development of Xiyun Mansion made the monarchs feel threatened, and they wanted to forcefully promote science and technology, but did not give the people time to accept it.
Under such a predicament, it is sheer nonsense for them to achieve independent development and independent research and development.
"well."
After hearing this, Ji Changyun put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "You have not lived in vain for so many years, you can even think of this step."
Lan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I originally thought that the reason why you are so cruel to the demon clan is because you are not from my clan, so your heart must be different."
"But now I have discovered that your cruelty to the human race is far greater than your ruthlessness to the demon race. Do you know how many people will die in this troubled world you are promoting?"
Ji Changyun tilted his head and calmly spat out a string of cold words: "Ten billions, hundreds of billions... maybe more?"
Seeing his understatement, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel frightened: "In your eyes, does life only have this much weight?"
"Life is gone, but it can be regenerated."
Ji Changyun said quietly: "But if the world is gone and civilization is gone, then it will be completely gone. Which of the two... do you think is more important?"
Lan Yu reacted quickly, and immediately thought of his purpose, he couldn't help but lost his voice: "You, what you are doing is..."
"Don't say it."
Ji Changyun smiled and interrupted just right.
After some more chatting, he put away the list of gods, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
In fact, Lan Yu's idea is very correct. He really wants to take advantage of the general trend of the times to completely crush the cancers of aristocratic families, noble families, and sects.
Because these things are stumbling blocks to the progress of civilization.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
No matter how strong the sect or the family is, they are no different from ants in the face of the general trend. The only outcome that cannot adapt is destruction.
After the aristocratic family is destroyed and the monarch is centralized, we will enter an era... where the big fish eats the small fish.
The so-called war and chaos now are just appetizers.
…
Think for a moment and clear your mind.
When Ji Changyun was preparing to take a rest, Qingwen suddenly came to visit.
After she relayed what she had said to the Third Prince at the Jie Feng Banquet to Ji Changyun, she sat down to drink tea to sober up and wait for the other party's reply.
After a while, I only heard Ji Changyun say: "Did the Third Prince really say that?"
Qingwen recalled the situation not long ago and marveled: "I saw on his expression that he was very confident."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ji Changyun couldn't help but become interested when he heard what she said: "Interesting, really interesting. This leader is really intrigued by him."
Seeing his reaction, Qingwen couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You have expected it, right?"
"almost."
Ji Changyun didn't deny it either: "But what I originally thought was that he would come up with gold or treasures from heaven and earth, but I didn't expect an unexpected gain."
Having said this, he asked curiously: "By the way, who won the competition between the Red Sea Demon King and Qing Le?"
"have equal shares."
Qingwen put down the cup helplessly, spread his hands and said, "The body of Chihai is a viper, and its teeth contain poison that can seal its throat when it sees blood."
"Although Qing Le is slightly better in terms of cultivation, he doesn't dare to take risks easily. If he really tries his best, Qing Le will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Although she subconsciously said good things for her lover, Ji Changyun could still tell that the Scarlet Sea Demon King was at a disadvantage.
However, he did not dwell on this matter and said in a deep voice: "Let the Third Prince come over."
Seeing how urgent he was, Qingwen couldn't help but look surprised: "Aren't you going to rest? There's no rush at this time."
Ji Changyun smiled: "If you don't explain clearly, I won't be able to sleep peacefully. I really want to hear what he has to say about the offer that I can't refuse."
Qingwen clicked his tongue and stood up, walking out and saying, "It seems that the Third Prince's words really caught your mind."
Not long after, the third prince entered the palace.
Qingwen did not follow him, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly because he felt sorry for Chihai.
Ji Changyun stood up and signaled: "I've seen the third prince, sit down."
The Third Prince wondered: "I thought Master Ji had gone to bed after a long journey. I remember that Master Ji drank a lot of wine."
Ji Changyun smiled: "The wine in Dragon Palace is mostly fruit wine and spirit wine. Although it is delicious, it lacks a bit of alcoholic flavor, so that's okay."
As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle from the spiritual ring, which contained amber liquor.
"Now, this is the wine."
Ji Changyun shook his head and said with a smile: "May I ask if the Third Prince is still in a mood to drink with me?"
"When the leader invites you, you should accompany him."
The third prince followed suit and lifted his hem, sitting in front of the coral table: "Since there is wine, how can there be no meat? I will let..."
"It's okay, I have it here."
Ji Changyun took out several plates of raw meat with clear textures and several bottles of seasonings of different colors from the spiritual ring.
The third prince looked at these small bottles in surprise: "Huh? What...are these?"
"The prince will know later."
Ji Changyun smiled mysteriously and did not clarify it with him: "By the way, why did the Third Prince say with confidence that the leader will not refuse your offer?"
The third prince's smile faded and he said softly: "To be honest with the leader, I have seen something similar to the thing you rode into the sea."
"oh?"
Ji Changyun's barbecue movements paused slightly and soon returned to normal.
The Third Prince pondered and said, "Does the leader still remember what happened to the Ninth Prince at the Jie Feng Banquet?"
Ji Changyun nodded: "Of course I remember, he seemed to be sent to Yanlong Cave by the Dragon King?"
The third prince looked at his expression and continued: "Yes, the so-called Yanlong Cave is the place where a senior of our Dragon Clan died."
"The ancient catastrophe swept across the world, and countless strong men of our dragon clan fell. That senior did not hesitate to fight against the enemy in order to cut off his successor."
"In the end, he rushed back with his last breath, and then fell into the depths of the seafloor rift, and then the Yanlong Cave was formed."
Ji Changyun turned over the barbecue, narrowed his eyes and said, "So that's what happened, what do you think..."
The Third Prince took over the conversation and sighed: "The Yanlong Cave is the place where the Young Dragon Clan goes to gain experience. I was also lucky enough to go in there once."
"It was that time that I accidentally fused some memory fragments about that senior in Yanlong Cave."
"Although there are only some pictures, I saw... a steel creation that is very similar to the thing you rode on."
