Chapter 311 Chapter 310: Painting Cakes

Zhao Dahe was stunned and stunned by Zhang Hao's inquiry.

He really didn't expect Zhang Hao to ask such a question. Isn't it usually all kinds of guarantees and the like-although everyone knows that it is fake.

Finally, Zhao Dahe has a lot of experience, he said with a humble attitude: "I don't have much time, I don't need anything else. If Master Zhang is satisfied with me in the future, as long as Master Zhang can take care of my disciple, that's enough."

Holding the cup in both hands, the young man looked at Zhang Hao vigilantly and angrily, with a touch of helplessness deep in his eyes.

Zhang Hao smiled: "Senior's requirements... are really too low. Look at this, if the routes are opened in the future, as long as the routes are opened under the guidance of the seniors, the taxes of all ships on these routes will be 100% from the seniors. One, and permanently effective.

For this one percent profit, the predecessors are free to establish heirs. "

"Ah..." Zhao Dahe was stunned by Zhang Hao's sudden change. It never occurred to me that Zhang Hao showed such a harsh and cold face at one moment, and so generous at the next moment.

Zhao Dahe knew very well what "one percent of the tax" meant. All ships, not one or two ships.

Calculated based on the current approximate taxation of the Qixia Kingdom, the tax is one-tenth of the transaction amount, and one percent of the taxation is equivalent to one-thousandth of the transaction amount.

For every thousand boats, the profit of one boat belongs entirely to Zhao Dahe. And the annual number of ships on a route is definitely not a small number-the route in the inland sea is an example.

It's just that the price is too high, isn't it?

Looking at Zhao Dahe's expression, Zhang Hao was very satisfied. What I want is this effect. What's this called? It's called buying a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold! And this is the same as patents.

If Qixia Country, Zhang Family, and Dayang Group want to develop, they need a lot of talents; then how to attract talents? Is it a deception with empty teeth?

There is a saying that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; after all, the country of Qixia has been trapped for thousands of years. If it wants to develop rapidly, it must absorb talents from the outside as soon as possible; and if it wants to attract talents, it must give Benefits, tangible benefits. And this benefit will last for a long time-it cannot be paid in one go.

Through this method of dividends, talents can be firmly tied to the chariot of Qixia Kingdom.

And doing so can not only set an example, but also allow Zhao Dahe to take the initiative to use his network to recruit talents! Before, Zhang Hao didn't dare to let those commercial firms wait to recruit talents-the talent didn't know who it was. But Zhao Dahe is an opportunity.

After confirming Zhao Dahe's situation, Zhang Hao acted decisively and gave Zhao Dahe a new hope and huge benefits.

It wasn't until Zhang Hao called out several times that Zhao Dahe gradually realized, "This...Master Zhang...are you serious?"

Zhang Hao smiled very gently, showing the majesty of a superior: "Then Zhao Dahe, do you have confidence in your astrology? If not, then you can leave now. If so, then you deserve it!"

After all, Zhao Dahe is in the Nascent Soul stage. Although he has lost his temper due to life, he gradually met Zhang Hao's eyes at this time, and gradually gained confidence in his eyes——that was confidence in his profession!

Although I have lost confidence in life, I believe in my professional ability.

Zhang Hao looked into Zhao Dahe's eyes and nodded slowly. "I'm glad you have such confidence. But the matter is very important. Before sailing, I will arrange someone to test the senior. Please forgive me."

"clear."

"Then, these two elixirs will be regarded as a deposit, which will be deducted from the senior's income in the future." Zhang Hao took out two beautifully packaged elixirs--Du'e Golden Pill and Sheng Sheng Hua Pill!

The elixir packaging is extravagant - gift giving is a science, first of all the appearance must be decent and classy! The example of buying a box and returning pearls tells us that the essence of gift-giving is not in the content, but in the surface, and the sincerity must be revealed on the packaging-the surface is not well done, who will look at what is inside, everyone is very busy.

Of course, the value of Du'er Jindan and Shengshenghuadan is also sufficient. If these two pills are calculated according to the market price in the East, they will cost at least two thousand high-grade spirit stones-almost one cubic of high-grade spirit stones, even if they are in the stage of transformation. Take out so much wealth, but also heartache. Moreover, there is no place to buy such pills if you want to buy them. It is typical that there is no market for the price.

The box was opened, revealing the breath of the two pills. Zhao Dahe looked at the two pills, and the corners of his eyes quickly became moist. These two pills mean life to Zhao Dahe!

Although this is not a elixir specifically designed to prolong life, the combination of these two elixirs can at least restore hidden wounds in the body, delay aging, and promote the improvement of cultivation.

As long as the cultivation base improves, you can gain a lot of life span.

In fact, these two elixirs were prepared by Zhang Hao for Wu Fanghai-it was originally planned that after the exhibition is over, they can celebrate the New Year. But it doesn't matter, just go back and prepare, now there are some top-notch pills like the Zhang family. So far it works great.

Zhao Dahe hesitated for a long time staring at the pill, and finally took it with trembling hands. "Thank you, Young Master Zhang, this is indeed what this old man needs."

Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile: "You rest here first, and we will take the train back to Zhang's house later. I will ask Master Mingxu Daoist to show you. Oh, my master Mingxu Daoist is Huashen due."

"Then...thank you...thank you..." Zhao Dahe just felt that happiness came too suddenly, after a lifetime of suffering, he suddenly sees hope, the kind that shines brightly.

"Just wait here for a while, I'll go out for a while."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Dahe got up to see each other off—a Nascent Soul Stage got up to send off a Foundation Establishment Stage one, and after Zhang Hao left, he sat down in a daze, looking at the two pills in his hand, a little tingling. Confused, there is a feeling of unreality.

Zhang Hao's delivery of these two pills is very particular - it is not only what Zhao Dahe needs, but also Zhang Hao's promise: there is no truth in words, no matter how nice the words are, it is not as real as the two pills. ; Such an expensive elixir will be given as soon as it is offered, are you still afraid that what I said is false?

Originally, Zhao Dahe thought that he only had a few years left, so he found Zhang Hao with the intention of taking a gamble. Now it seems that the bet was right! And the future seems bright. One percent of the airline tax is permanently valid! It's exciting to think about.

Think about the tens of thousands of ships in the inland sea, and the daily delivery of supplies is incalculable; taxation is also an astronomical figure. Even one percent is enough to make Holy Land's heart flutter.

Taking a step back, even if the Qixia Kingdom cannot control all the routes, only some routes are enough.

And since Zhang Hao said so, there should be no falsehood—otherwise Zhang Hao could have called for a specific quotation. Of course, before coming here, Zhao Dahe actually investigated Zhang Hao and others.

Gradually, Zhao Dahe became excited. He grabbed his disciple's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ke, I have finally found an excellent future for you as a teacher!" '

"Master, we don't have to be looked down upon anymore!" Zhao Ke nodded fiercely. He is not very old, and because of his life, he ran around with his master. At a young age, his cultivation level is not high, but he knows the warmth and coldness of people's hearts.

Zhao Dahe put the elixir in the storage ring, and took out the basic book, which is about astrology—navigation. Zhao Dahe and Zhao Ke, master and apprentice, started to work and study. If you want to find your way in the unfamiliar sea, stargazing is essential, but there are really not many people who really understand this technique nowadays.

It can be said that Zhang Hao would not have seen Zhao Dahe if it hadn't been for Zhao Dahe having a master who would never forget him even when he was dying, if it wasn't for Zhao Dahe not being good at drilling camps, and if it wasn't for the cold wind spreading everywhere.

Everything is amazing!

Zhang Hao walked out of the booth and looked at the sky with a smile on the corner of his mouth—surprise! They were about to give up. Seeing that the second steel warship, the Iron Duke, was about to go south to search for the west coast of the Terrestrial Continent from the open sea, an astrologer unexpectedly jumped out.

Of course, Zhang Hao is still vigilant about this Zhao Dahe - it's too late to appear. After thinking about it, Zhang Hao quietly contacted Yeyuelou's branch and asked Yeyuelou to investigate Zhao Dahe's situation.

The current Yeyue Building is already part of the Dayang Group, responsible for intelligence, assassination and anti-assassination, etc. It is an extremely important part of Dayang Group, and has been unknown to outsiders.

However, if he wants to go to the Kunlun Continent to inquire about news, he will not be able to do it in a short time, but before that, Zhang Hao decided to train and trust Zhao Dahe with all his strength-for the time being, it is still credible.

Zhang Hao walked around the exhibition, and checked the situation of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group. After confirming that everything was going well, he returned to the VIP room and brought Zhao Dahe, master and apprentice, to the station. And here, there are already a large number of people queuing up.

At this time, a passenger train had just stopped, and the passengers walked out of the carriage with big bags and small bags. After more than two days of operation, everyone has begun to accept and enjoy this new thing, and many people use it as their own means of transportation.

The flight attendant made sure that nothing was left on the train, the vehicle closed the door, turned around in front, changed the railway after a while, and stopped at the station again.

Zhang Hao looked at the current train and thought about where he could improve it—on the basis of meeting the current conditions. The flight attendant is male, that's all for the time being. The carriage may be able to describe the formation, and it is already a bit cold in this winter.

Oh, thinking of the weather, Zhang Hao looked around, there was a freezing rain last night, but there were no snowflakes. The winter in Qixia Country doesn't seem to be particularly cold.

Zhang Hao took Zhao Dahe and Zhao Ke to a separate private room. The first section of the train belonged to the high-end compartment, which was specially set up for people with status. The temporary price is 10 yuan/person; while the ordinary car is 1 yuan/person.

One yuan here is equal to 10 black iron coins, and two black iron coins can buy a catty of brown rice. 10 yuan is not a small number for ordinary people.

But here at the exhibition, the supply of high-end carriages is still in short supply. Everyone wants to experience it.

Sitting in the box, Zhang Hao took out a handful of '10,000 yuan bills' and arranged a small soundproof formation.

"This is the banknote?" Zhao Dahe was a little curious.

Zhang Hao took out a handful and stuffed them into Zhao Dahe's hands: "Take these, you can't do without banknotes in Ninghe County. Now everyone in Ninghe County doesn't use Lingshi to trade much."

Black iron coins are heavy, and the value of spirit stones is too large, and the quantity is too heavy, so banknotes are very popular in Ninghe County now. In particular, most of the salaries issued by Dayang Group, Zhang Family, etc. are in banknotes, which also promotes the exchange of banknotes.

Zhao Dahe was not polite either, he accepted it after thanking him.

But Zhang Hao said: "Senior Zhao, I have a question. Have you ever thought about why astrologers are excluded after the route is opened?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dahe's face became angry: "Is there any other reason, the typical one is that the cunning rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and the bird is hiding!"

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "Senior Zhao, since we are our own people now, I'll just say something straight. Maybe it will be a little unpleasant.

In fact, the reason why an industry is eliminated should first find its own reasons!

Because no matter how much you resent others, you can't change your situation, but it will only make it worse. On the contrary, if we can continue to improve and always become useful people that society needs, we will not be eliminated.

There are two reasons why astrologers were eliminated in the later stage. First, the society no longer needs your past abilities, but you still don't know how to keep pace with the times. Second, I've heard that many astrologers have also fallen so badly that their overall reputation suffers. "

Zhao Dahe wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. The truth...it's really not pleasant.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao had a faint smile on his face—he said this to foreshadow the next words. Zhang Hao's current responsibilities, identity, and status all determine that he cannot simply speak the truth from his heart.

So Zhang Hao continued: "Senior, no matter whether the world is getting better or worse, history is always moving forward. On the way forward, there must be eliminated and new ones.

History is truly utilitarian. If the predecessors read history books, they will find that those who can really leave traces in history are 'useful' people-they are pushing history forward. And useless people can't even leave traces.

this is the truth! "

Zhao Dahe's complexion changed for a long time, finally he sighed and lowered his head.

"But there is an opportunity right now. The Qixia Kingdom is going to explore the outer sea, and it will inevitably use astrologers and so on. But senior, have you ever thought that if the exploration of the outer sea is completed, or if we can no longer continue to explore one day in the future, what will happen to the astrologers in the future?" Will the teacher fade away again?"

"This... this..." Zhao Dahe began to struggle. This Nascent Soul master was unknowingly led by Zhang Hao.

The siren sounded from outside the car, the crew got on board, the locomotive started to ignite, a little bit of steel clanging came, and the car gradually began to accelerate.

Zhang Hao didn't speak anymore, and after five or six minutes, the vehicle had already started speeding out of Guangling City. The scenery outside the window flashed quickly. The carriage does not use glass, but a simple barrier—but it is not so transparent.

Zhang Hao suddenly pointed to the carriage team not far from the road: "Senior, how long do you think the carriage will last with the appearance of the train?

Carriages...have served humans for tens of thousands of years. But...will still be eliminated in the end. Maybe one day in the future, we can only see the carriage in a separate exhibition hall. "

Zhao Dahe looked at the carriage that was quickly thrown away in the distance, his eyes became a little straight. Today, the speed of the train has reached 100 kilometers per hour; while the speed of the horse-drawn carriage is about 60 kilometers per hour-this is still the light of the expressway. The transportation capacity of the carriage is obviously not comparable to that of the train.

After a series of explanations, Zhang Hao saw that Zhao Dahe was lost in thought, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised—the foreshadowing was enough, and it was time for a big meal.

"Senior, in fact, the world is always changing. The only constant is change itself! A thing that does not know about change and has no direction of development, even if it can achieve temporary success, it will not be sustainable.

I think that astrology, the state of astrologers, may be a good thing. In this way, we can fully think about new changes and development directions. "

"Because astrology is a part of astrology, I also have a general understanding of astrology.

Senior, astrology divination is not accurate, have you ever thought about why? "

Zhao Dahe shook his head slightly: "I've thought about it, but I'm not sure. I can only be sure that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the stars in the sky and people. But more... I don't quite understand."

Zhang Hao pointed to the nearby hill: "Isn't this hill huge?"

Zhao Dahe nodded.

Zhang Hao pointed to the mountain in the distance again: "The mountain in the distance looks very small, and it is no bigger than the size of a palm. Senior thinks, which one is bigger, that mountain or the one in front of you?"

Zhao Dahe frowned slightly: "Although it looks small, it is obviously bigger in the distance!"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Senior, with such a small distance, the mountain in the distance looks very small. Senior, have you ever thought that the sun, moon, and stars in the sky that day are... How big are they?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Dahe's eyes brightened instantly, and he looked at Zhang Hao with burning eyes: "What does Young Master Zhang know?"

"No, I don't know anything! I'm just guessing. I was at sea before, and when I came back from my first voyage, the first thing I saw was the light of the lighthouse, and then I saw the land.

While watching the Iron Duke's sea trials, I saw the ship's hull gradually disappearing under the surface of the sea, and finally I could only see the black smoke of the funnel. When the Iron Duke returned, he saw black smoke first, and then the hull.

This has been the case for several voyages. This is obviously not an accidental phenomenon!

So I have a bold, or deviant, unimaginable conjecture: Could it be that the world under our feet is also... a star?

The sun in the sky is a star, and the moon is also a star, but it is very close to us compared to other stars.

And the stars seem to be floating in the endless void! "

"This... this... this is impossible!" Zhao Dahe opened his mouth and eyes wide, as if he had stopped breathing.

Zhang Hao stopped talking, and suddenly pointed to an eagle in the sky, "That eagle looks as big as a mosquito. This is still the distance we can see. Seniors have calculated how far the moon and the sun are from us ?"

Zhao Dahe stopped talking, he quickly found an old book on astrology, and began to search frantically.

From what Zhang Hao saw, the book was probably made of excellent Tianma paper, but it was yellowed and fluffed, obviously very old.

Zhao Dahe flipped through it for a while, then suddenly became excited, and his tone was very high-pitched: "Yes, yes, Patriarch..."

"Stop!" Zhang Hao suddenly roared, and then slowly said: "Senior, let's go back and discuss it. Be careful that the wall has ears!"

Zhao Dahe nodded excitedly, but held the book in both hands, flipping through it excitedly.
