Chapter 235 War National Debt, Part 2
Jiang is still old... Thick-skinned, Zhang Hao can only explain the blueprint of the artillery first. To be precise, each new unit is explained.
Liu Dingshan nodded: "It seems very simple, just such a thing can bring huge damage to the enemy?"
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing. It sounds simple, but it is not so easy to produce.
The production of artillery requires very sophisticated technology. Otherwise, it would be too normal for the shell to get stuck in the barrel. Any technical equipment is not a simple 'copy'. Data can be plagiarized, but production experience can only be explored.
However, Liu Dingshan only wanted to know about it. The real production——the country of Qixia only needs to issue 'bonds' to the Zhang family. Using future wealth to purchase current equipment, the country does not need to invest in new research and personnel. As far as we can see, this is an effective measure.
Then Liu Dingshan didn't talk about the Vientiane Promise Formation, so he dragged Zhang Hao to discuss war bonds. With the wisdom of an old man, Liu Dingshan corrected many of these fallacies.
The idea of War Bonds is great, but different worlds have different rules and there will always be some changes that need to be made. For example, this world really cannot ignore nobles, aristocratic families, etc. They have plenty of masters,
For example, Su Ming, Minister of the Household Department, who was appointed by Liu Xinyu as the second deputy director of the Administration of Industry and Commerce, is a representative of the aristocratic family. However, Su Ming's family is a typical transformation after the rise of business, and it has a deep understanding and recognition of business.
Not all families are ignorant. They would rather watch the country fall and be stingy. There are still many families worthy of unity.
After discussing these, Liu Dingshan finally talked to Zhang Hao about the issue of 'Hunyuan Jingjin'.
Liu Dingshan didn't say anything, he found a small box from the corner of his study, and took out a stack of 'cards' from the box.
Zhang Hao looked curiously, but saw that the so-called cards were pieces of wood; there were simple gossip symbols in the center of the wood pieces. The wood chip looks ordinary, but the gossip symbol is golden in color.
Liu Dingshan arranged them one by one in a simple gossip shape. With a wave of his hand, he sent a piece of true energy to this gossip formation. But seeing that the gossip formation was instantly activated, the formation slowly floated up, and tiny true essences flowed between the symbols of the gossip.
Liu Dingshan didn't stop, once again arranged a small gossip shape and activated it. Then the two gossip shapes attract each other and circle each other. A little bit of spiritual energy was attracted from all around.
Liu Dingshan arranged a total of eight gossip shapes in one breath, and the pile of wood chips has been exhausted. The eight gossip small formations are circling, but they seem to be in a mess. About the height of a person.
Liu Dingshan smiled, and there seemed to be some kind of nostalgia in his eyes: "Boy, look after it! I have changed it now, and changed it into a simple spirit gathering array!"
Liu Dingshan moved lightly, but seeing the eight trigrams array suddenly disintegrated, it turned around and reassembled spontaneously. The real energy that Liu Dingshan injected into the formation grew a driving force. But seeing sixty-four pieces of wood quickly formed a spirit-gathering array, and the surrounding spirit energy was gathered.
Liu Dingshan spoke again: "I will create a magic formation for you."
He moved the formation again, and the spirit-gathering formation suddenly disintegrated, and sixty-four wooden goddesses surrounded Zhang Hao like scattered flowers. Zhang Hao didn't move, but saw pieces of wood flying around, and fog gradually appeared around, Zhang Hao opened his mouth wide in surprise the next moment.
He is now standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by misty clouds and mist, and there is no one inhabited.
Zhang Hao carefully took a step towards the edge of the cliff, suddenly felt that his foot was in the air, and he fell down.
From the outside world, Liu Xinyu could see clearly. Zhang Hao was engulfed by the formation and flew up to the height of one person; there was a cloud under Zhang Hao's feet. Zhang Hao stepped out, just stepped out of the edge of the floating clouds, and fell down; then fell directly out of the range of the formation, and fell to the ground.
Liu Dingshan sneered coldly: "Boy, remember from now on, don't yell at the old man!"
You are so narrow-minded! Zhang Hao got up with a black head, but looked thoughtfully at the formation above his head. "Senior, can this Vientiane Promise Formation be changed at will?!"
"Yes! This is the power of the Vientiane Promise Formation. But unfortunately, it is still very tasteless."
Zhang Hao looked up, at this time the formation was changing again under Liu Dingshan's control, it turned into a small trapped formation, and then turned into a small Tianshensha large formation.
Zhang Hao frowned: "This is a very powerful formation, why do you say it is tasteless?"
"This involves the practicality of the formation. The more the number of the Vientiane Promise Formation, the more powerful it is. It is undeniable that this is a very powerful formation. In theory, as long as there are enough formation bases, it can change endlessly.
But if you want enough array foundation, you need a lot of Hunyuan Jingjin; and the production of Hunyuan Jingjin is not a simple matter, the most important thing is that the production of Hunyuan Jingjin is extremely costly.
With these costs, several formations with the same power can be achieved.
However, the mixed essence gold cannot be recycled; the materials used to create other formations can also be recycled.
Also, manipulating so many formation bases is very poor in actual combat, and requires a lot of energy to control the formation. In contrast, the general formation is much simpler.
If it were you, how would you choose? "
Zhang Hao nodded thoughtfully, but then Zhang Hao asked an important question: "Senior, how efficient is the formation of the Vientiane Promise Formation?
To put it simply, compared with the spirit gathering array of the same power, how long does it take to consume a spirit stone? "
"Hey... I haven't tried this yet."
"Then try it."
Liu Dingshan nodded, set up a small spirit-gathering formation, and then used the Vientiane Promise Formation to transform into a spirit-gathering formation, both of which were powered by eight ordinary spirit stones.
Billowing spiritual energy gathered from all around, and soon split up. The Vientiane Promise Formation actually snatched more spiritual energy, and its spirit-gathering effect was almost twice that of ordinary spirit-gathering formations. One must know that the ordinary spirit gathering array that Liu Dingshan set up will not be too 'ordinary'.
Liu Dingshan catalyzed the formation, causing the spirit stones to be exhausted quickly. After about two moments, the ordinary gathering spirit formation was the first to run out; after another moment, the Vientiane Promise Formation exhausted its aura.
Liu Dingshan's eyes brightened immediately. Without waiting for Zhang Hao to open his mouth, he set up another spirit-gathering formation, this time an intermediate-level spirit-gathering formation, using a full 64 spirit stones; But the result remained the same, the Vientiane Promise Formation won!
Liu Dingshan said hesitantly: "I didn't find this before. But it doesn't matter, anyway, this Vientiane Promise Formation is just a tasteless one. It consumes a lot of fine gold, mithril, red copper, black iron, etc., and it must be of high purity. Yes, the kind with a purity of more than 99%.
And these materials are enough to refine spirit treasures. Refining this damn Vientiane Promise Formation is really a huge waste! "
There was a flash of light in Zhang Hao's eyes. What Zhang Hao saw was not waste, but 'money'! Of course, Young Master Zhang would not tell the truth. Zhang Hao said: This effect is what we want. The foundation of the Vientiane Promise Formation is bonds... ah, the best carrier for banknotes.
Not afraid of imitation, because the cost of imitation is too high; and not afraid of consumption, because its only use is the Vientiane Promise Array.
But before that, Zhang Hao had to study the production method of the Hunyuan Jingjin to see if there was any way to reduce the price and cost.
Finally, Liu Dingshan gave Zhang Hao a jade slip, which recorded all the information about the Hunyuan Jingjin and the Vientiane Promise Array, even including his research materials back then.
For Zhang Hao, a young man, Liu Dingshan liked him from the bottom of his heart—he was capable, and he almost brought back the decline of Qixia Kingdom by himself.
After Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu returned to the palace, Zhang Hao immediately started to arrange the national debt issue and the slave issue. Under the tremendous external pressure, everything was initially successful in just three days.
Hundreds of thousands of slaves were looted in less than a day. Businesses, families, and even villages and towns tasted the "sweetness of war" for the first time.
This is an industrial and commercial attempt, a perfect start. And the sale of slaves also made all kinds of rumors come to an end.
Immediately afterwards, the Administration for Industry and Commerce completely surfaced. The war bond is officially on sale.
After that, Zhang Hao didn't intervene in the matter. After all, the Administration for Industry and Commerce was a state agency, and Liu Xinyu was on guard, but Zhang Hao's goal was Dayang Group.
Seeing that everything was on the right track, Zhang Hao set off on his way home with the information of Hunyuan Jingjin and Vientiane Promise Formation.
At this time, Zhang Hao returned home like an arrow. Currency reform, dawning.
