A few days later, in the palace, Liu Xinyu looked at the new news at hand, with a bright smile on her face.
A series of events in the past almost pushed the Qixia Kingdom to the edge of the cliff. Liu Xinyu had to give the country's most important treasure and the last trump card, an orb that might be the Immortal Spirit Stone, to the Xuanzhen Sect in exchange for half a year.
Fairy Spirit Stone, this is a treasure that only exists in legends. Most people can't find a ray of fairy spirit energy to build a foundation (god transformation stage), but there is a fairy spirit stone here.
But now it seems that the previous efforts have paid off. With the return of the two warships of the Ocean Group exploring the south, all problems have been solved.
Just yesterday morning, Xinglintang officially registered a brand new business group, Xinglintang Group.
Xinglintang is registered as a group, which means that Xinglintang, which was somewhat similar to a sect in the past, is completely commercialized. This is a sign!
In the past, Xinglin Hall was one of the three pillars of the Kingdom of Qixia; now even Xinglin Hall has been registered as a business group, which means that the Kingdom of Qixia has completely industrialized and commercialized.
This morning, Xinglintang publicly sold a large number of pills, including Peiyuan Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, etc., which are used during the Qi refining period. And the price... is much cheaper again. The unit price of ordinary Peiyuan Pill has dropped to 0.5 spirit.
stone, which is 50 yuan! And this is 0.1 spirit stone lower than the port price of Oriental Commercial Bank.
Xinglintang has just been released and has caused a huge sensation!
To know:
Peiyuan Dan, Dongfang’s port prices are: 0.6 spiritual stones for ordinary, 1 spiritual stone for superior, and 2 spiritual stones for excellent.
The docking prices of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the East are: 50 spiritual stones for ordinary ones, 70 spiritual stones for superior ones, and 100 spiritual stones for excellent ones.
The port price does not include tariffs and other fees. Including various taxes, etc., the selling price of ordinary Peiyuan Dan in Eastern countries is also between 0.9 Lingshi to 1.2 Lingshi; a better Peiyuan Dan costs 2
A piece of spiritual stone, excellent ones can be sold for 5 pieces of spiritual stone. Foundation-building pills also have a premium of 50% to 100%.
However, the prices of Xinglintang and Peiyuan Dan are respectively: 50 yuan/0.5 spiritual stones, 90 yuan/0.9 spiritual stones, and 180 yuan/1.8 spiritual stones, which are just a little lower than the onshore prices in the East!
The prices of the Foundation Establishment Pills are: 4,600 yuan/46 spirit stones, 6,400 yuan/64 spirit stones, and 9,200 yuan/92 spirit stones.
All elixirs are sold at double prices, with banknote pricing and spiritual stone pricing. However, due to the convenience of banknotes, banknotes are now commonly used in Qixia.
The isolation from the outside world has actually promoted the promotion of banknotes in Qixia Country.
Xinglintang has built sales centers in all major cities in the Kingdom of Qixia, with unified pricing across the country. It went on sale simultaneously this morning.
The entire country of Qixia fell into an unprecedented carnival.
Just after the morning, the pills for sale in Xinglintang were placed in front of Liu Xinyu. There are more than a dozen pills commonly used during the Qi refining period, including Nourishing Qi Pill, Peiyuan Pill, Xiaoling Yuan Pill, and Five Elements Pill (five types).
, small heart-protecting pills, etc., all the way to foundation-building pills, there are quite a few of them.
Some precious elixirs, such as Xiaolingyuan Dan and Foundation Establishment Dan, are packaged individually; while most of the remaining elixirs are packed in a box of 10. The box is made of 60% black iron, which is very exquisite and stamped on it.
The logo of Xinglintang, the name of the elixir, ingredients, place of origin, production date and shelf life, etc.
The only flaw is that there is a small line of writing on the bottom of the box: Supervised by Dayang Group.
When you open the box, the first thing you see is the "Instruction Manual" printed on ordinary paper. The three big words "Instruction Manual" are very eye-catching, and you can't even see them.
Liu Xinyu opened it and looked at it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She was immediately impressed by this brand-new 'instruction manual'.
The instructions are very detailed, including the ingredients of the elixir, the source of the medicinal materials, the recommended taking time of the elixir, contraindications, applicable scope of practice, and the storage of the elixir.
For example, ordinary Peiyuan Dan is recommended to be taken before the third level of the Qi refining period, up to the fifth level of the Qi refining period; after the fifth level, it is recommended to switch to a superior Peiyuan Dan.
Special reminder: Ordinary Peiyuan Dan has a lot of impurities and should not exceed 5 pills per month. Also, because the medicinal materials come from the land of Taotu, the medicinal properties are slightly hotter than those in the north. If you feel hot and dry after taking it, you can take Lingxin.
Tea is used for conditioning, and drinking alcohol is not recommended.
Finally, there are also the matching relationships between different elixirs.
Liu Xinyu read this instruction manual twice, and then opened other boxes and found that there were similar instructions, but the instructions were different, but they were all equally careful.
After getting such a pill and such instructions, Liu Xinyu suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of touch and trust in her heart.
After looking at it for a while, she checked the quality of the elixir again. Liu Xinyu was surprised to find that the quality of the elixir on her hand was even better than that of the elixir from the East!
"Good!" Liu Xinyu couldn't help but praise.
She admired not only Xinglintang, but also industry and commerce. The benefits that Xinglintang’s transformation to industry and commerce brought to the country were obvious. The cooperation between Xinglintang and Dayang Group directly reduced the price of domestic pills to the lowest level.
point.
Under the blockade of the surrounding countries, the country of Qixia relied entirely on industry, commerce and navigation. Not only did it survive, it was also undergoing a profound change.
Faintly, Liu Xinyu even had a feeling that the blockade by the surrounding countries was counterproductive. Under this blockade, it accelerated the transformation of Qixia Country's industry and commerce.
In order to survive, the country had to change quickly; because of external pressure, the internal could become more cohesive and united.
Looking up at the map, Liu Xinyu glanced at Ninghe County. Today's Ninghe County has been marked separately. This is the fiefdom of the Zhang family. In fact, it was Liu Xinyu's deliberate decision to grant Ninghe County to the Zhang family.
decision made.
The recent development and changes in Qixia Country are all brought about by the Zhang family. Under such circumstances, if the country continues to collect taxes, others will complain. Why do you collect taxes? The Zhang family and Dayang Group are helping the country.
Still less?
In order to take care of these, and to tightly limit the influence of the Zhang family to the industrial and commercial field, Liu Xinyu must be rewarded. In order to set an example for other industrial and commercial classes, Liu Xinyu must also be rewarded.
After careful consideration, the only choice was to grant the title of Ninghe County to the Zhang family.
Although there are no real powerful aristocrats in the country now, Zhang Hao, the Zhang family, and even Dayang Group have made so many contributions. Without a little extra expression, it will make others feel chilled.
Favor is nothing more than favor, and the governance of a country cannot rely solely on the law! Liu Xinyu understands this deeply.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xinyu no longer cares about the gains and losses of 'one city, one place'. Now, the queen's eyes slowly sweep towards the surrounding areas and countries: Next, she will seek to conquer the entire fertile continent west!
Compared to the entire West, only a small Ninghe County was entrusted, which is a bit stingy.
Lowering her head, Liu Xinyu continued to browse other information.
The railway is under construction; brand-new artillery with a range of 20 kilometers is being fully deployed; the army has popularized steel weapons and armor, powerful crossbow beds made of steel, and some powerful war weapons, etc., and is arming the entire Qixia region.
country's army.
Invisibly, the army of Qixia Kingdom has been transforming towards mechanization. Oh, to be precise, it should be transforming into 'large-scale war weapons'.
The country of Qixia, which is now blocked by the surrounding countries, is like a silkworm cocoon, and at this time, this 'cocoon' is in the process of 'turning into a butterfly'. But this butterfly is made of steel!
Then Liu Xinyu checked the environment of the surrounding countries. With the Qixia Kingdom actively exporting influence, even if the surrounding countries block it, they cannot block the news from the Qixia Kingdom.
On the contrary, the more severe the blockade, the faster the news spreads.
The industrial and commercial classes in the surrounding countries yearn for the environment of the Kingdom of Qixia. There are no nobility, no exploitation and oppression, and the country is based on industry and commerce as never before. This is the "land of hope" for the industrial and commercial class!
In the past, it was fine that there was no such country. Everyone kept their heads down and continued to live their lives. But it is different now. For the industrial and commercial classes of various countries, the current Qixia Country is like the sun in the sky, although the sun is temporarily covered by dark clouds.
, but still brings hope to the industrial and commercial class.
This man is afraid that there is hope. A little manipulation by the intelligence personnel from Qixia Kingdom has caused great repercussions in the surrounding countries.
As a result, a strange atmosphere formed in the surrounding countries:
The reason why the various countries want to blockade the Qixia Kingdom is that they see the differences in the Qixia Kingdom and are worried about the spread of Qixia Kingdom's influence and the impact on their own governance foundation;
However, the more worried they are, the more unstoppable this thing becomes. The more severe the blockade is in various countries, the more 'restless' the domestic industrial and commercial class becomes.
Intelligent life has an instinct to pursue freedom! So it is often: the more I am not allowed to do something, the more I want to try it! The blockade of the country of Qixia by various countries has led to unexpected results.
"It is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river!" Liu Xinyu put down the information and felt a little proud, "This river cannot be blocked, otherwise it will get higher and higher until it bursts; the public's opinions are the same.
If you dare to block us, the fun has just begun, we'll see!
Don’t let me catch you, otherwise... I will let you know that the consequences of blocking the Qixia Kingdom... are not something you can bear!"
Liu Xinyu stood up slowly and stood in front of the huge map. She recalled Zhang Hao's words in her mind: Your majesty will not only be in the country of Qixia, but will also spread to... the entire known world!
"The entire known world?" Liu Xinyu's eyes were a little vague. She felt that Zhang Hao had drawn a cake and could only look at it, but it had to be said that these words would be immeasurably tempting to any monarch, and Liu Xinyu did not
Exception. Every time I think of this, my heart beats faster.
While he was thinking, Hu Yinglan came in quietly and whispered: "Your Majesty."
"Um?"
"Zhang Hao sent an invitation, saying that the third warship is about to undergo sea trials..."
"No time!" Liu Xinyu was a little arrogant. It was right to visit the first two times. If you still go to visit for the third time, then where is the majesty of the royal family.
Hu Yinglan paused for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, Zhang Hao said that the new battleship will be named 'Pearl' and presented to Your Majesty. He also said that His Majesty's birthday will be in two months, and Dayang Group will give the new battleship the 'Pearl'
Dress up beautifully and send it to His Majesty.
I invite Your Majesty to visit this time because I want to hear His Majesty’s opinions.”
"Well..." Liu Xinyu turned around, frowning slightly, thoughtfully. Why did Zhang Hao suddenly want to give him a battleship?
According to Liu Xinyu's understanding, although Zhang Hao appears to be generous, he has a purpose every time he gives something away.
Zhang Hao's biggest gift was to give 5,000 tons of black iron to the empire, but Zhang Hao made Wu Fanghai his adoptive father and received the country's care. During that period, the Zhang family was able to develop unscrupulously, and no one came to find him.
Trouble! At that time, the family of Han Yue, the imperial censor, wanted to extend his hand, but Zhang Hao cut off the hand directly. However, the Han family did not dare to retaliate directly and could only resort to tricks.
So why did Zhang Hao give him a battleship this time? A battleship is not cheap. It is all made of steel. According to the current market price, the value of a steel battleship is simply an astronomical figure.
With the strong production capacity of Dayang Group, it takes about two months to build a warship; but before, only two warships brought hope to the country of Qixia!
So, this gift...is a bit expensive!
Liu Xinyu thought for a long time, until Hu Yinglan reminded her again, Liu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "When?"
"This time Zhang Hao said it depends on His Majesty's schedule."
