In the Wei Dynasty, in the court hall, the monarchs and ministers were solemn.
In the past month of confrontation with Xining, we have suffered heavy losses. The only victory that can be praised was the first ambush battle. However, even with preparation and active ambush, it turned out to be just a tragic victory. More than 900 enemies were killed.
, I lost more than 500 yuan!
And that crazy explosion also damaged the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation! This is the formation of the Qinglian family. They originally spent 100 million high-grade spiritual stones to purchase the perfect Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation!
One hundred million. Although the Wei Dynasty was a superpower, its total annual fiscal revenue was only about two billion; the remaining net income each year was only three to two hundred million.
However, as a superpower, its income is naturally not only fiscal revenue, but also spiritual stone mines, trading houses controlled by the royal family, etc. But no matter what, 100 million high-grade spiritual stones is still an astronomical figure.
The most important thing is that now that the formation is abolished, the Wei Dynasty and the Qinglian family lack an important means of defense.
Especially in this situation, when the first decisive battle is about to begin.
The emperor and the officials were still discussing war arrangements, but the situation was not ideal. The timing of the attack by the Western Allied Forces was really outrageous. They launched the attack during the autumn harvest!
The key to autumn harvest is self-evident. Even rice and other crops are harvested in autumn. At most, the average harvest time is ten days and a half different from ordinary crops.
Also, the output of spiritual rice is only a small amount after all. If you want to supply the army, you need a large amount of ordinary grain and grass.
Although cultivators are very powerful, generally those in the Qi refining stage and above can go without food for one or two days; those in the foundation building stage can last for three to five days, and can last for half a month; and those in the golden elixir stage and above can last longer.
No time to eat.
However, this is not the case. There is a war, but you still can't make the soldiers well-fed and the soldiers willing to charge into battle? What's more, if you don't eat here, the other side is well-fed.
Especially for those in the foundation building stage and above, they must rely on various spiritual rice to replenish their consumption during fierce battles.
Various kinds of spiritual rice have the energy of five grains, which can just replenish the energy of the five internal organs of the human body. This can speed up the recovery of the body.
Of course, you can use elixirs, but that's too luxurious! It's okay for a day or two, but if the war lasts for several months, it can destroy an empire.
Someone suggested: "How about harvesting in advance? Although harvesting in advance will cause great losses and may not even save the seeds, there is at least one option compared to no harvest. The next year's crop seeds will be purchased from the Western Zhou Dynasty at worst.
Moreover, only the west and southwest were affected by the war, and the remaining areas can still wait for the crops to mature."
As soon as these words came out, there was immediate agreement.
When the official who proposed this suggestion saw it, he felt regretful. In fact, everyone understood it, but no one mentioned it! This suggestion offended the people so much.
When people talk about it in the future, they will say: It was so-and-so, the bastard, who made us harvest food in advance, and as a result, so many people starved to death.
Looking at the officials around him who started to become active, the official who made this suggestion fell silent. He suddenly understood that if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make more mistakes, and if you do less, it will be better!
This is the correct attitude towards life!
The officials discussed for a long time and made detailed plans, but when someone was finally asked to carry out the task, everyone shut up again. Then, everyone looked at the person who made the suggestion.
The emperor spoke: "Shang Shu's right servant shoots, Xu Bulu!"
"I'm here." Xu took a heavy step forward.
The emperor gave the order: "This time the grain harvesting work in the west, southwest, and even the south will be left to you."
"Yes." Xu Buwei responded, having no choice but to agree.
The emperor was very satisfied with Xu Bulu's attitude, gave him a lot of encouragement, and finally gave him a jade pendant. The jade pendant beside the emperor was equivalent to "the unofficial scabbard of Shang Fang's sword...".
There is only one jade pendant, Xu Bulu sighed in his heart. Only Shang Fang's sword can suppress such an important matter. But he only gave him one jade pendant. Obviously, the emperor was also trying to remove himself from this matter and let the people harvest food in advance.
No one wants to take over this matter!
Once it’s done, the people will complain!
If you don't do it well, you will die without a burial place!
In short, no matter how you do it, this matter will not please you.
Although some things have to be done, why do it yourself if you can let others do it... This is the Wei Dynasty now! There are too many smart people.
But at this time, Xu Bulu seemed to be ready to break the pot, and he spoke: "Your Majesty, I have an immature idea about repairing the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation."
Everyone's eyes suddenly came to focus. The repair of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation was a big problem. The Qinglian Family obviously wanted the Empire to pay for it, but the Empire didn't want to be taken advantage of; but the Empire's formations, weapon refiners, etc., were unable to
Perfectly restored.
Under countless gazes, Xu Bulu said slowly: "I heard that the products sold by Dayang Group have three guarantee certificates. Even if the three guarantee date is exceeded, Dayang Group will provide excellent after-sales service.
So, why not ask Dayang Group to repair it? Maybe the cost will not be too high!"
Everyone was stunned.
Go ahead, you have a great mind. We are confronting Dayang Group.
But when everyone thinks about it again, this idea is good. If Dayang Group does not repair, or the price is expensive, it will be just a discredit. If Dayang Group provides repairs, and the price is reasonable, then of course it is better.
So, who is going to do this? Although it was Xu Bulu who proposed it, Xu Bulu has more important things to do.
However, there seemed to be no danger in this matter, and all the officials asked for orders. Finally, the emperor ordered Shangshu Zuopu to shoot Lu Heng and take charge of this matter.
When Lu Heng and Xu Bulu left, the discussion was still going on in the court. The next thing to be discussed was strategic issues.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the front between the West and Xining. Everyone knows the situation there relatively well and has made the necessary preparations. The key point to discuss is the sea.
The fleets of the Western Allied Forces sailing recklessly on the sea have initially led to the collapse of southern routes and commerce. It is only a matter of time before the distance completely collapses.
The most important thing is that until now, the Wei Dynasty and even the Twelve Families don't know where the Western Allied Forces will land. This is troublesome.
How to conduct strategic defense when you can’t even determine where the enemy landed?
…………
Putting aside the matters in the court for the time being, Shangshu's right servant shot Xu Bulu and left the imperial capital with heavy steps. He first headed to the west and ordered the grain to be harvested in advance.
After this order, the people immediately stopped working. The enemy has not yet attacked, so we have to cut off our way of survival first? Where is our army? Are they eating dirt?
At this time, it was just the grain-filling period, and the grain harvested at this time would be difficult to swallow because of the chaff and the grain content! However, Xu Bulu had to give strong orders and even mobilized local reserves and security forces to forcefully drive the people to harvest the grain.
However, most of the reserve forces and security forces were locals, and they were not very obedient. Therefore, Xu Bulu had to kill a few of them as a warning to others, and things progressed with difficulty.
But secretly, I don't know how many people hate Xu Bulu deeply.
But Shangshu Zuopu shot Lu Heng and went to the representative office of Dayang Group in Wei Dynasty leisurely.
Dayang Group also has a commercial representative here in the Wei Dynasty. It is not big, but it is well-equipped. The person in charge here is not only responsible for business, etc., but also responsible for intelligence and other work. Everyone knows about intelligence. But for now
, there really is no country that can refuse Dayang Group’s products.
Even the Wei Dynasty and the Twelve Families will maintain business relationships with Dayang Group. Even if Dayang Group now implements a technical blockade, there are still many things that the Twelve Families need.
The representative office of Dayang Group in the Wei Dynasty was not outside the imperial capital, but in a commercial city thousands of miles away from the imperial capital. It was a five-story building with a different style. The exterior was decorated with blue glass and was full of charm.
A modern atmosphere.
Lu Heng came to the representative office of Dayang Group and was personally received by Ji Songhai, the head of the representative office.
Lu Heng got straight to the point, he wanted to repair the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation. Then he looked at Ji Songhai nervously.
Unexpectedly, Ji Songhai smiled flatly and said, "This Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation must have been damaged at the end of last month."
"Yes. I heard that Dayang Group provides three-guarantee service and after-sales service. I wonder if this formation can be repaired? What is the price?"
Ji Songhai smiled and said: "Whether it can be repaired and what the price will be, I can't give an answer until I see the actual object."
"Can it really be repaired?" Lu Heng was a little dazed. Is Dayang Group really repairing it?
"Of course" Ji Songhai replied in the affirmative.
"The price..."
"This is a quotation!" Ji Songhai directly took out a quotation. To be precise, it was a quotation. "This is a maintenance price list uniformly printed by Dayang Group. It is mainly for non-disposable magic weapons, large and small maintenance.
There are thousands of projects. Even if they are not involved, they can be used as a reference.
In fact, there are very few that are not involved.”
Lu Heng took the quotation a little sluggishly. It was clearly listed one by one, as well as the printing time. The printing time showed that it was a year ago, so obviously there would be no temporary price increase.
There are four main maintenance directions above:
First, if there is a quality problem with the product itself, it will be replaced free of charge within 15 days from the date of purchase. Any losses caused by quality problems will be borne and compensated by Dayang Group;
If it exceeds 15 days but is less than 3 months, maintenance will be provided free of charge; if it exceeds 3 months, it is no longer a product quality problem, and Dayang Group will charge normal maintenance fees.
Second, man-made damage is mainly caused by fighting, etc., and the material cost and labor fee will be charged within three months; if it exceeds three months, the market price will be charged.
Third, damage caused by modification, dismantling, etc. will be charged according to the market price.
Fourth, the remaining supplementary maintenance provisions.
Below, there are specific maintenance items and corresponding prices; in addition, the more complicated the repair, the more expensive the manual labor cost. But everything seems to be fixed, and there is no possibility of asking for extravagant prices. And the repair price is very reasonable, even
Lower than the repair price in society.
Lu Heng was still a little surprised: "Really repairing it?"
"Haha... You are not the first to ask this. But I am still willing to explain, and I am happy to explain. In fact, Dayang Group is peace-loving. If possible, we hope that everyone can sit down and do business in peace and harmony.
We are a business group, and only by being friendly can we make money!
In this regard, I also strongly condemn the Twelve Families for arbitrarily provoking wars for their own selfish desires, without taking into account the wishes of the people, and without considering the development trend of society!
The Twelve Families are destined to fail, not because they are not strong, but because they are suspected of being rebellious and want to compete with the development trend of society.
President Zhang said that history is a big wheel, and anyone who competes with the historical trend will be ruthlessly crushed."
"Uh..." Lu Heng was stunned for a moment after being told this, but he still took out the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation.
Ji Songhai inspected it personally and said: "The damage is not big, it's just that some array patterns were broken because they withstood energy exceeding the limit. It's not difficult. However, if you want to repair the array patterns, especially the complete repair of the array, you need to use single crystal spiritual materials to repair it.
But don’t worry, it won’t take much single-crystal spiritual materials to repair the formation pattern. The estimated cost is initially estimated at 1 million high-grade spiritual stones. This includes the labor cost.”
"So cheap!" Lu Heng was really stunned. This was a super formation worth 100 million.
"Can I still lie to you?"
"How long will it take to repair?"
"This amount will be enough for about two days."
"Then let's repair it now!" Lu Heng was overjoyed.
