Chapter 246 Jealous

Only five days later, the flying boat landed in Xingchang County again. Zhang Hao stepped off the flying boat and looked at the precarious but still strong battle line with a relaxed smile on his face.

Fu Yun stood on the flying boat, quietly looking down, with a relaxed look on his face.

If you want to fly over the dangerous zone of the Danyang Kingdom, someone must be in charge. This time the transaction is related to the common interests of the Qixia Country and the Canglan Country. The Canglan Country is so generous that it sent Fu Yun as the envoy of both parties to take charge of the transaction.

However, the field fee for a master is not cheap. For every transportation, Qixia Kingdom needs to pay Fu Yun 500 catties of 99.6% black iron.

Gu Xingdong, governor of Xingchang County, Zhao Donghe, general of Zhenxi in Canglan Country, and Zhou Shuhai of Xinglintang warmly received Zhang Hao. Of course, there are also representatives of Dayang Group.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Hao bought a full 200,000 top-grade spirit stone war bonds here in Xingchang County on behalf of the Dayang Group, paying in the form of pills. Bonds cover one-year, three-year and five-year maturities, rarely one-year, mainly three-year and five-year.

There are 200,000 high-grade spirit stone pills, and there are hundreds of millions of Peiyuan pills purely; of course, it is impossible to only use Peiyuan pills on the battlefield, and there are many expensive pills. For example, the elixirs used in the Jindan stage and Yuanying stage.

There are more than five million pills in total. These elixirs are enough to guarantee Xingchang County's war needs for half a year.

The Land of Canglan is indeed a big country, and the least bit of a finger is enough to bring the Kingdom of Qixia back to life.

For thousands of years in the past, the Qixia Kingdom was located at the 'bottom level of exploitation'. Items coming from the east would only arrive at the Qixia Kingdom after passing through the Canglan Kingdom and the Jinyang Kingdom. After thousands of years of exploitation, Qixia Country has run out of fuel.

But the Land of Canglan is extremely rich.

Zhang Hao stayed here for a while, and then set off again. This time Zhang Hao flew directly to the imperial capital of Qixia Kingdom, and when he reached the ground, Fu Yun asked Liu Dingshan to play chess. Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling went to the palace.

Seeing Liu Xinyu again, the 'Queen' looked a little tired. Zhang Hao was also straightforward. He opened his mouth and bought millions of high-grade spirit stone war bonds, all of which were three-year and five-year.

Facing the "pie" that fell from the sky, even Liu Xinyu was surprised and speechless.

Speaking of which, since the issuance of war bonds, the five million high-grade spirit stone war bonds prepared by Qixia Kingdom have been sold for about three million, but the follow-up has been weak.

A large number of families only buy a little symbolically, and then stop selling.

These families are thieves - we bought it, we supported the war of nations. However, we are also difficult.

Liu Xin's teeth itch from the rain, but there is nothing he can do. And a more important problem was in front of Liu Xinyu: the war bonds could not be sold, which actually affected the government's credibility and the country's confidence in the war!

And just in the past few days, another troublesome thing happened—the Jinyang Kingdom actually pushed out the second prince of the Qixia Kingdom that they had captured, and named him "King of Guangling" in the occupied area.

Guangling is the name of the imperial capital of the Qixia Kingdom, and the meaning of the two princes being named 'King of Guangling' is self-evident. Not only that, but there are also a lot of rumors floating around. These rumors are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but one point has been emphatically promoted:

Liu Xinyu killed his brother and seized power, a great rebellion.

In addition, there are more rumors. For example, Liu Xinyu did not hesitate to take off her clothes in order to secure her seat; in short, it was too filthy to be heard!

For a woman, the above two rumors are extremely vicious.

Well, we know that brother killing is true, but the news has been blocked from the outside world; but this does not prevent the Kingdom of Jinyang from spreading rumors. Liu Xinyu had already found out the previous matter, it wasn't that people around her leaked the secret, but that the matter of killing her brother couldn't stand scrutiny.

And undressing or something is pure slander. But for a woman, this rumor is too vicious.

Liu Xinyu's current pressure is really huge. To bear the rumors, to integrate the turbulent country strongly, to organize the Eastern Expedition, and to deal with this "King of Guangling" who suddenly appeared.

Don't look at the second prince as just a puppet, but there are quite a few people who turn to him. In particular, some families were worried about the collapse of the Qixia Kingdom, but they took refuge in the 'King of Guangling' in advance - they knew very well that this Guangling King belonged to the Kingdom of Jinyang.

In addition, there are also some people with water in their heads who want to welcome the second prince back to the throne.

In short, the current country of Qixia is a mess, and the whole country is crumbling. At this moment, Zhang Hao reappeared, offering a war bond of 1 million top-grade spirit stones.

At that moment, Liu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. The first batch of five million war bonds was finally almost sold out.

Even Liu Xinyu couldn't help but say thank you to Zhang Hao at this time.

Adding these elixirs, plus the bonds of black iron and artillery purchased by the Zhang family and the Dayang Group, the Zhang family and the Dayang Group purchased a total of more than 2 million, which almost supported half of the country of Qixia.

Millions of high-grade spirit stones and pills piled up like a mountain, and the guards were too busy to touch the ground. Zhang Hao came to Liu Xinyu, who was still a little excited, and smiled softly: "Your Highness, keep going. The Zhang family's first real ironclad ship is expected to be completed within three months.

When I go back this time, I will do my best to supervise the production of the ironclad ship.

As long as the ironclad ship is completed, we can build our own trade routes from the sea. "

Liu Xinyu immediately stood up excitedly, but soon she had a new question: "Even if the ship can be built within three months, the time to open up the trade route is still uncertain!"

"The time for the commercial route..." Zhang Hao's face became firm. "We plan to sail for the first time along the coastline to the Land of Canglan. The estimated voyage is 8,000 kilometers, and the round trip is 16,000 kilometers. The estimated time is one month.

We plan to intercept the caravan coming from the east directly on the sea and complete the transaction at sea.

After repeated derivation, the first transaction is expected to be very sufficient in one month. "

Liu Xinyu shook her head: "You are too optimistic. Even if everything goes well in the sea, the final transaction may not be smooth. The ships coming from the east have established long-term cooperative relations with the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Langya. The time should be agreed with. It may not necessarily be traded with you."

Zhang Hao's face became serious instantly, yes, he actually forgot to think about this. After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao said slowly, "I'll go back and discuss this with everyone."

After bidding farewell to Liu Xinyu in a hurry, Zhang Hao landed the last elixir worth about 800,000 high-grade spirit stones to Dayang Group. Zhang Hao didn't go home directly with these pills.

As the president and largest shareholder of Dayang Group, Zhang Hao must show a sufficient sense of responsibility. Otherwise, this nascent Dayang Group will face the danger of disintegration. Before the first big voyage, before making a full profit, Zhang Hao needs to carefully maintain the stability of Dayang Group.

The eight hundred thousand top-grade Lingshi's 'cheap pill' landed, and the entire Dayang Group erupted in an instant.

"Everyone be quiet!" Zhang Hao roared. Everyone calmed down immediately.

At this time, Zhang Hao was leaning against a small mountain—800,000 high-grade spiritual stone pills, plus a simple packaging box, it was really piled up like a mountain.

But now, Zhang Hao is standing at the foot of this mountain, pointing the country.

"Everyone, there are a total of 800,000 high-grade spirit stone pills here, but these pills did not fall out of thin air. Dayang Group needs to provide Canglan Kingdom with 20 cannon barrels and eight tons of 99.6% pure iron. "

Everyone's faces brightened instantly. These things... only the Zhang family can provide!

Zhang Hao continued: "Dayang Group is a whole, and it is also a large group higher than family and business firms. Dayang Group has the style of doing things of Dayang Group.

Later, Dayang Group will purchase cannon barrels and black iron from the Zhang family at an agreed price, and each shareholder needs to distribute the elixir according to their respective shares.

The rest of the final distribution, or some pills that are not enough to be distributed, will be auctioned at the shareholders' meeting in the form of auction.

What do you think? "

Immediately, someone asked in a low voice: "Master Zhang...er...President Zhang, can we increase investment and shares now?"

Zhang Hao smiled: "I don't care if I say this, it needs to hold a general meeting of shareholders."

In his heart, Zhang Hao was a little dissatisfied: he didn't invest at the beginning, but now he sees the benefits and reinvests, it's too late. Even if this matter is put at the general meeting of shareholders, it is 100% impossible to pass it.

Now, a single Peiyuan Pill can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones in the outside world, and the supply exceeds demand; while the Peiyuan Pill here is still 20 spirit stones, which is enough to make them regret it.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, some people mocked: "If you want to increase the shares, I think it will be after the war. There are so many things at the moment, so don't bother."

Zhang Hao has set the charter, and the board of directors is responsible for the rest. Everything executes smoothly. Of the 800,000 high-grade spirit stone elixirs, the Zhang family alone obtained 60% of them—almost all of these elixirs were divided according to shares.

In addition, these ammunitions were all discussed by Zhang Hao, although everyone was greedy, they didn't have any opinions.

In the next two days, Zhang Hao held a shareholder representative meeting to reorganize Dayang Group. Includes auctions for some surplus and rare elixirs. In addition, a public vote was held to address the request for additional shares from some families and commercial firms.

The result of the vote was 96:4, and some people's request for additional shares was resolutely cancelled.

After the meeting, Zhang Hao convened another board meeting. At the board meeting, Zhang Hao shared Liu Xinyu's concerns. Everyone discussed for a long time, and Bai Ye decided to send Yeyue Tower's intelligence personnel to investigate.

The intelligence personnel will start from the north, pass through the country of Zhoushan and Zhongshan, then go south through the country of Taihua, enter the country of Shaoze, and then arrive at the country of Canglan.

After such a large circle, the round trip was nearly 30,000 kilometers. But for the sake of intelligence, it had to be done. Hundreds of elites from Yeyue Building set off that afternoon.

After dealing with everything, Zhang Hao finally stretched his waist and returned home. From now on, Zhang Hao keeps his ears to the outside world and concentrates on building his own giant steel ship.

Occasionally, he will improve scientific theories with Huang Mingshan and others, and study chemical systems with Zhou Xueyao.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and under Zhang Hao's guidance, Zhou Xueyao had already begun to produce complex chemical reaction maps. For example, common carbon, oxygen, iron, copper, sulfur, salt, alkali, water, etc. have been analyzed more accurately, and a chemical reaction diagram has been established.

Especially after Zhang Hao only made the simplest battery, Zhou Xueyao started to electrolyze water and got a preliminary understanding of the chemical composition of water.

The battery is very simple, just use copper and iron sheets, and add sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is obtained by heating malachite. At the same time, Zhou Xueyao named the new gas discovered as 'hydrogen'. Because this gas is very light, a new character was created from the word 'light'.

Unknowingly, Zhou Xueyao's place has become a huge chemical research base, and the number of assistants around her has increased to hundreds.

In addition, Zhou Xueyao also created a kind of "chemical symbol" with the help of the Zhang family's mathematical symbols, as well as the traditional practice talisman seals and formation symbols. After many repairs and Zhang Hao's guidance, the chemical symbols are now very mature.

Time passed quietly, and it was another evening. After a busy day, Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao snuggled up to the beach, watching the magnificent sunset by the sea.

Zhou Xueyao leaned lightly on Zhang Hao's shoulder and murmured to herself; "I never expected that this world would be so mysterious. Water is actually composed of hydrogen and oxygen combustion. The components in the air have been clearly defined including oxygen and carbon dioxide; charcoal burning Not completely, it can still produce carbon monoxide, which is still highly toxic."

"But no matter how mysterious it is, it can't escape Fairy Zhou's palm."

"Really?" Zhou Xueyao sat up suddenly and looked directly at Zhang Hao: "Then tell me, Liu Xinyu or I, who is better?"
