Chapter 295 State Funeral

The whole port was cheering, and even the most calm people couldn't help but smile.

Liu Xinyu stood at the port, watching the giant ship approaching, watching the waves rolling, watching Zhang Hao walking step by step, the corners of his eyes were moist and excited.

When Zhang Hao opened his mouth, Liu Xinyu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Zhang Hao's hands. The excitement in his eyes could no longer be concealed: "Thank you, thank you!"

At this moment, with Liu Xinyu's strength, he couldn't think of anything else to say. She could only hold Zhang Hao's hands tightly excitedly, full of gratitude.

Liu Xinyu's strength and methods may also be called ruthless, but she was able to ascend to the throne and become emperor step by step not only because of her methods, but also because of her ability and mind. She is very clear about the past situation of Qixia Country, and also very clear about the significance of Zhang Hao's actions this time.

The number of "635 tons of pills" echoed in her mind. This is twenty times the treasury reserves of Qixia Kingdom in its heyday!

Moreover, most of the treasury reserves are Peiyuan Dan, and they are still low-level. Liu Xinyu believed that what Zhang Hao brought back this time would definitely not be some low-level Peiyuan Pill.

"Ahem..." Beside, Hu Yinglan carefully reminded. Your Majesty, you are the queen after all, so be careful.

Liu Xinyu was generous, but there was still a little unnatural flash in her eyes. She put down Zhang Hao's hands, took the scroll with both hands, and slowly unfolded it. The details of this transaction are densely recorded above.

The transaction records of more than 60 boxes of precious medicinal materials taken out from the treasury are very detailed, and each medicinal material is recorded.

Then there are pills exchanged for Zhang family's black iron and steel.

A total of 635 tons, of which 217 tons belonged to the royal family. How to divide the pills in the later stage, of course, needs to be discussed carefully. This is something.

The most important thing right now is to cheer!

This is a victory, and this kind of victory is completely different from a victory in a city or a place, different from a victory on the battlefield. It's a victory for survival.

From now on, Qixia Country will truly control its own destiny.

More importantly, it's a victory for business and industry. No one knows how much pressure Liu Xinyu has endured for the decisions he made before.

Choosing industry and commerce is actually a helpless choice. Because Liu Xinyu saw the end of the traditional rule; but Liu Xinyu didn't know what this new industry and commerce could do.

But now, Liu Xinyu knew. The industrial and commercial class of the entire Qixia Kingdom knew about it.

This simple voyage and extraordinary success opened up a new era.

So Liu Xinyu held Zhang Hao's hands excitedly, and everyone was only envious, but didn't feel that there was anything wrong. If Liu Xinyu's indifferent handling is the problem.

Today is a day of cheering. Liu Xinyu simply ordered and celebrated on the spot; we will talk about it tomorrow.

The tentacles of the octopus made a contribution again. Under Feng Zhiling's heartbroken eyes, Zhang Hao pulled out a tentacle more than 30 meters long, and held a seafood feast on the spot.

The rest of the seafood is of course obtained from the sea. I just bribed King Yinjiao, and it's okay to just fish some ordinary seafood. In the eyes of sea monsters, these ordinary seafood are like weeds in the eyes of humans—not even coarse grains.

The lights on the shore lasted all night, and the lighthouse that had just been lit not long ago cast colorful lights on the shore. Colorful rays of light shot straight into the sky. At night, it can be seen clearly from hundreds of kilometers away. A rainbow of light pierces straight into the sky like a sharp sword, which is extremely eye-catching.

That night, representatives from more than 30 commercial firms from the east also gathered together to enjoy the cheers from the Qixia Kingdom. Feeling the joy of the Qixia Kingdom erupting.

Zhang Hao was so busy that he didn't touch the floor, and there were toasts everywhere; even if Zhang Hao only dipped a little for everyone, he was still drunk in the end and walked like a flutter, and was thrown by Zhou Jue to Zhou Xueyao's side.

Seeing her lover being treated so rudely, Zhou Xueyao glared at her half-drunk brother who was also drunk.

Zhou Jue's cultivation was advanced and his skin was thick, he continued to drink with a smile. The current Zhou Jue is also the shareholder representative of the Dayang Group, the chairman of the Artifact Refining Association, and the head of the country's household department.

The country of Qixia has just begun to change, and there are many imperfections. This can only be changed slowly.

It wasn't until after dawn that Zhang Hao opened his eyes in a daze, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Xueyao meditating next to him, taking care of himself all night. There is a small barrier around him, and there are five boxes of pills under him. There is also a hill made of boxes behind it, which is more than 600 tons of pills from this transaction.

Zhang Hao looked around, there were still people cheering, and from afar, he saw Feng Zhiling was still looking for someone to fight for a drink, and he was drunk to the sky.

Dugu Junjie is the most distinctive. This guy is lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, holding a wine jar on his chest, and the ground is still wet. Next to him, Chen Yansong was coolly guarding with his long sword in his arms, and he didn't know how to find a wooden plank, quilt, etc. for his young master to cushion. Looking at Zhang Hao, his teeth ached for Dugu Junjie.

Drunk people were everywhere at the seaside, only Liu Dingshan and Taoist Master Ming Xu were suspended in mid-air, covering the audience and playing chess by the way.

Zhang Hao turned over and lay on his side, looking at Zhou Xueyao steadily. Since she began to study chemistry and made achievements, Zhou Xueyao began to restore the elegance, nobility, and confidence that Zhang Hao had when she first saw her.

A simple, white dress is enough to set off the faint youth, just like a snow lotus.

There is a small alchemy furnace in front of him, mist of mist appears in the alchemy furnace, and a little bit of fragrance floats.

"Wake up." Zhou Xueyao slowly opened her beautiful eyes, avoided Zhang Hao's fiery eyes, lowered her head, a little joy and tenderness appeared in her noble figure, "I made you some soothing soup, you have a taste."

As Zhou Xueyao said, she took out a small jade bowl and poured out half a bowl of amber-like crystal clear liquid from the alchemy furnace. "Stayed up in the middle of the night, just right. You drank alcohol in the middle of the night just after returning from the sea, and it will have some impact on your body."

Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Xueyao, and watched Zhou Xueyao holding the jade bowl, but Zhang Hao held Zhou Xueyao's hands. Zhou Xueyao blushed instantly, her hands were hot.

"Others... are watching..." Zhou Xueyao murmured softly.

"Ahem..." A reminder came from outside the barrier, and Zhou Jue stood beside him with a cold face.

Zhang Hao laughed, picked up the jade bowl and drank it, a warm spring flowed into the internal organs, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away. Zhang Hao lowered his head and whispered in Zhou Xueyao's ear, "Thank you, lady."

Zhou Xueyao's face turned redder, but there was a little joy and happiness in her eyes. She lowered her head and slowly tidied up the jade bowl and the small alchemy furnace.

When Zhang Hao left the barrier, he saw Zhou Jue's sour eyes. The brother-in-law snorted coldly: "Zhang Hao, take it easy. You are the first person the empress looks for this early in the morning!"

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, what is this all about. Shouldn't Liu Xinyu look for her? You must know that although all the pills and so on have been moved ashore, they still haven't been allocated.

Liu Xinyu waited until now to speak, which is already commendable.

When Zhang Hao came to Liu Xinyu's side, Liu Dingshan also came. Seeing Zhang Hao nodded to Zhang Hao. As the Supreme Emperor of Qixia Country, he should be called 'Emperor Zeng' now. Liu Dingshan also has a good impression of Zhang Hao. It was Zhang Hao who saved the country of Qixia and opened the road of hope for the country of Qixia.

When Zhang Hao saw Liu Xinyu, there was in front of Liu Xinyu the scroll that Zhang Hao sent yesterday, and Liu Xinyu was carefully checking it. There are still many officials around who are busy.

At the time of the auction, Zhang Hao uniformly priced according to top-grade spirit stones; later, he used spirit stones to purchase the elixir; there was a process of conversion in the process. Therefore, the pills purchased were all mixed together.

There are a total of 635 tons of elixir, and Liu Xinyu needs to pick out the 217 tons that the royal family should have. This selection process has been going on overnight. Liu Xinyu looked at those high-grade pills, her eyes revealed... possessiveness!

After Zhang Hao arrived, Liu Xinyu showed a bright smile on his face, and asked with some concern: "Do you have a headache? Seeing so many people toasting you last night, I'm a little jealous."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. In fact, they also wanted to toast to His Majesty, but they dared not approach him because of His Majesty's majesty." Zhang Hao smiled lightly. There was a small trap in Liu Xinyu's concerned words. But Zhang Hao can already deal with it proficiently.

After a short pause, Zhang Haocai continued: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, from today onwards, Qixia Kingdom will no longer be confined to a corner. The whole world has already unfolded before us.

This time, representatives from 32 commercial firms came with the boat, and most of them came from outside the Fertile Soil Continent. "

"Hmm..." Liu Xinyu put down his work, thought for a while and asked, "Are these people here to take a look, or to establish a stable business relationship?"

"Based on what we've seen so far, they still want to open up a new business route. Many medicinal and spiritual materials in our country are what they need.

But they are still a little worried for the time being, and want to see if our country has the ability to maintain the route and even develop it. "

Liu Xinyu nodded: "Do you have any suggestions and plans?"

"I'm going to wait a few days for them to visit the Zhang family's shipbuilding base. In these two days, I will temporarily evacuate some important technical equipment. Huang Mingshan told me last night that the keel of the second giant steel ship has been The laying is done.

This giant steel ship under construction should be able to build strong confidence in them.

Time...after the state funeral. "

Liu Xinyu nodded. Suddenly asked again: "Zhang Hao, you said these pills...how should we divide them?"

Zhang Hao has black lines all over his head. This is probably due to the greed of the little girl. Liu Xinyu's words are full of greed and malice. However, Zhang Hao had already prepared: "Your Majesty, according to the current marine development support plan, no tax will be collected for sea transportation for the time being. Besides, this is also the territory of the Zhang family.

In addition, Dayang Group needs to charge one-third of the service fee for the pills that His Majesty entrusts Dayang Group to consign.

But... the first time I tried a transaction of a nature, I canceled the one-third service fee on behalf of Dayang Group. "

Liu Xinyu stared at Zhang Hao, a certain light flashed in his eyes. But Zhang Hao looked at each other calmly. What belongs to one's own interests will never back down.

Zhang Hao must use his influence to lay a solid foundation for the future of the Qixia Kingdom-the monarch's rights must be restricted and unbridled greed must not be allowed.

After a while, Liu Xinyu calmed down and snorted softly, "Zhang Hao, Duke Zhang, I was wondering if I was being too lenient to you? Should I call you 'Iron Duke'?"

Zhang Hao broke into a cold sweat: "No, it is because of His Majesty's tolerance that the people are more active. This is everyone's favorite monarch."

"Hmph. Then, you divide this pill!"

Zhang Hao didn't take the scroll, and said directly: "Your Majesty, if you want me to divide, I will sort out all the pills, and then divide each kind of pill according to the proportion. Dayang Group gets 418 copies, and Your Majesty gets 217 copies." .

Some rare and precious medicines are distributed according to 2:1. Your Majesty may be at a disadvantage in terms of proportion, so I plan to allocate a few more Infant Transformation Pills to Your Majesty. "

Liu Xinyu didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's division is quite satisfactory, but it is obviously not satisfactory to Her Majesty the Empress. What I want is not standard.

Zhang Hao added with an unchanged expression: "However, considering the needs of the country's development, on behalf of the Dayang Group, I will take out half of the precious elixir and exchange the original price for some medicinal materials in the treasury. Please allow your majesty."

"Yes!" Liu Xinyu made a decision very simply, with a smile on his face.

In fact, there are too many pills traded this time, especially many high-end pills, which must be controlled, which is related to the foundation of the country. And Zhang Hao didn't plan to keep many, neither the Zhang family nor the Dayang Group can use so many pills for the time being.

Besides, it is very easy for the Zhang family and the Dayang Group, who have mastered the sailing qualifications, to get the pills, just exchange a batch of black iron. There will be plenty of trading opportunities in the future, and there is no need to be unhappy about this right now.

Zhang Hao has roughly figured out Liu Xinyu's temper: overall, he is still a monarch with ideas and achievements, but it is inevitable to have a little temper sometimes-after all, he is still a woman, or should be said to be a girl. She is only eighteen years old, and after more than a month of Chinese New Year, she will not be nineteen.

It is said that this girl loses her temper, just coax her. The queen loses her temper...you have to handle it carefully.

Liu Xinyu left at noon. Tomorrow is the state funeral, so she needs to go back in advance to prepare.

But the division and trading of the pills lasted for a whole day.

The most lively part of the scene was probably the dividends within Dayang Group.

The dividends within the Dayang Group made the outside VIPs look thoughtfully, and it also made the large and small commercial firms in the Qixia Kingdom, as well as some family sects that made changes, etc. - when the Dayang Group was established , Why didn't they think of participating. At that time, it was open to join, but now I want to buy shares...it's too late!

But as the parties involved, the large and small shareholders of Dayang Group, everyone was a little cautious in their excitement. Dayang Group's dividends are somewhat responsible, and Zhang Hao has to sit in charge himself.

First of all, the profit of this voyage needs to be carefully calculated; and the battleship Zhiyuan has 20% of Liu Dingshan's shares, and this profit needs to be divided.

Also, Daoist Mingxu and Chen Yansong, who were on board the boat, also needed to express their opinions. Although neither of them said anything, if Dayang Group didn't say anything, it would be too incompetent.

After consideration, Zhang Hao gave Daoist Ming Xu 6% of the profit and Chen Yansong 4% of the profit. The difference comes from the identities of the two.

Taoist Master Mingxu has the Xuanzhen Sect behind him, and Zhang Hao is still a disciple of Taoist Master Mingxu; in contrast, Chen Yansong is alone. Moreover, during this voyage, Taoist Master Mingxu made more moves than Chen Yansong.

But even with a 4% profit, Chen Yansong was extremely pleasantly surprised. A 4% profit is about a quarter of the 16.72 tons of pills... 4 tons of pills.

Profit needs to exclude costs, including ship costs, navigation costs, black iron costs, combat costs, and so on.

And when it comes to Dayang Group's internal dividends, there is no need to calculate the cost - because Dayang Group was jointly established by everyone. However, within Dayang Group, "development funds" need to be considered. Some interests must be transferred to ensure the expansion and development of the group.

After discussion and a joint vote at the shareholders' meeting, Zhang Hao distributed one-fifth of the remaining elixir; the rest will be sold to the outside world in exchange for funds and resources to develop Dayang Group.

In a growing group, it is easy to reach a development consensus internally. Dayang Group was on the shore, and sold the remaining 310 tons of pills, and a large number of large and small businesses and families gathered on the shore grabbed all the pills.

The price at which Dayang Group sells the elixir is 150% of the transaction price. There are various costs involved.

But even so, it will have a great impact on Qixia Country.

In the past, the Peiyuan Pill in the Qixia Kingdom was once priced at 100 spirit stones; but now even if ordinary Peiyuan Pills are sold at 1.5 times the original price, the most common Peiyuan Pill is only 0.9 spirit stones! Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills are only 75 spirit stones—while the Qixia Kingdom’s Foundation Establishment Pills once increased in price to 1,500 spirit stones!

The madness caused by this gap is unimaginable. The country that has been bullied by the Land of Canglan and the Country of Taihua for thousands of years has finally ushered in its own hope and glory, and began to control its own destiny.

It's a celebration! Everyone brandished crates of high-grade spirit stones and competed for the pills.

Fortunately, everyone is crazy but rational. Everyone lined up, and Zhang Hao tried his best to let every business and family buy some.

As for everyone in Dayang Group, they devoted themselves to this transaction with 120% enthusiasm and the enthusiasm of the masters.

The business representatives from the east watched the scene in front of them silently, feeling deeply moved for a while.

Leng Qingsong of the Seven Stars Firm looked at this scene, thoughtful: "I seem to have seen the future of Qixia Country. This country has been trapped for thousands of years, but these thousands of years have also created their tenacious character!

They... are like steel! Thousands of years of tempering have already made them unique.

Suffering is a fortune. All it takes is a suitable opportunity, and suffering will turn into the most solid foundation to support the sky! "

Some people agreed, some shook their heads, and some didn't care.

Leng Qingsong watched everyone's performance, shook his head slightly and said nothing more. But he has already made a decision in his heart - to cooperate with this country of Qixia!

For a country that has struggled against adversity for thousands of years, what kind of power will explode once the road of hope is opened? Leng Qingsong is not very clear either. But looking at the bustling beach, he felt a tremor inexplicably in his heart.

Eastern countries such as the Land of Canglan swept over the wealth of this country. However, they inadvertently shaped the tough soul and unyielding spirit of this country!

I don't know what kind of answer the country of Qixia will give to the world?

…………

The excitement always ends. At dawn the next day, before the sun came out, Zhang Hao, Zhou Jue, Liu Jingming and others changed into plain clothes and headed for the imperial capital.

Today is a state funeral!

The war has been over for more than two months, and it has been more than five months since the war started and the Jinyang Kingdom invaded; and until now, the coffins of the emperor and the prince have not been buried.

There are also loyal and brave men who died in the war, such as Su Jianzhong, who was Wu Fanghai's deputy general, have not yet paid homage to them.

By the time Zhang Hao and his party arrived at the imperial capital, the city was already completely empty.

Because the new imperial capital temporarily located in Jianwu County has not yet been built, the temporary office of the empire is still in Guangling City; a relatively affluent and well-established Fangshi on the outskirts of Guangling City has been requisitioned as a temporary residence.

In the evening, the team set off; Liu Xinyu, dressed in plain clothes, personally supported the spirit, and sent the coffins of the emperor and the prince into the royal cemetery. Hundreds of thousands of people came to see him off, and many of them were businessmen.

In the send-off team, there were representatives from the Eastern Business Group, as well as representatives from the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Zhoushan, and the Kingdom of Zhongshan.

In particular, Prince Zhao Huaiyun, the representative of the Jinyang Kingdom, finally admitted defeat and pleaded guilty on behalf of the Jinyang Kingdom.

In the end, amidst the cries of "kneel down" from hundreds of thousands of people, Zhao Huaiyun...slowly knelt down in front of the emperor's tomb.

(Two updates, but the total is 10,000 words. You should be able to ask for votes.)
