Chapter 412 Going to Sea Again

In the early morning of this day, Zhang Hao was in a trance. Many people looked at Zhang Hao, full of doubts—Minister Zhang, you have been distracted the whole time today, did you encounter any problems?

This is not like you! You were so excited in the past, even the queen listened to your words.

Today is... boiled?

This morning, Zhang Hao didn't pay attention to what everyone was discussing at all, and his mind was completely occupied and shocked by Liu Xinyu's words in the imperial study.

Liu Xinyu didn't point it out, but she specifically blocked the left and right and only said to herself, which couldn't be more obvious.

But there was really no rush for this matter, Zhang Hao didn't answer on the spot, and Liu Xinyu didn't ask. But since Liu Xinyu asked this question, it also proved that the empress had made up her mind.

During the entire early dynasty, Zhang Hao only listened a little bit, but it was Liu Xinyu who rearranged the economic blockade.

This time, with Zhang Hao's suggestion, Liu Xinyu's economic blockade became more 'modern'.

For the greedy country of Taihua, Liu Xinyu adopted a very ingenious method - exchanging resources for pills! Want the elixir from Qixia Kingdom, right? Alright, let’s exchange resources!

Under Zhang Hao's guidance, Liu Xinyu became smarter—there are actually plenty of spirit stones! But some medicinal materials and precious spiritual materials are rare. If there is more here, there will be less there, and the national strength will be affected!

And since it is a raw material, the price is naturally pushed down hard.

As for the price of the elixir, on the surface it remains unchanged, and so does the tariff; but because of the requirement to use resource transactions, the value has been virtually increased.

However, in order to maintain the face of both parties, Liu Xinyu said: During the transaction process, part of the Lingshi transaction can be used, but the proportion should not exceed 50%.

As for the country of Qingyun, it does not accept spirit stones at all, only resources. The price of the elixir... the tariff has been raised a bit, not much, it's really 'a little bit': directly doubled! This is learned from Zhang Hao. But doubling is only a 20% tariff. Industry and commerce these days are, after all, relatively simple.

But even so, the Qingyun Kingdom can't help it. The country of Qingyun is a completely landlocked country. If you want to do business, you have only three choices: the country of Qixia, the country of Taihua, and the country of Shaoze!

Needless to say, the Kingdom of Qixia, the Kingdom of Shaoze is now honeymooning with the Kingdom of Qixia; the Kingdom of Taihua... Both countries have brains out, and the Kingdom of Taihua has killed half of the elites of the Kingdom of Qingyun. The grudge is gone.

After all the calculations, the Qingyun Kingdom can only buy pills from the Qixia Kingdom.

Of course, there is also a "Land of Long Forest" to the southeast of the Kingdom of Qingyun—that is, the Xuanzhen Sect. But now there is flirting between Xuanzhen Sect and Dayang Group, and between Qixia Kingdom. As a result, Xuanzhen Sect only sold some low-priced pills symbolically, but it was a drop in the bucket.

As for Dayang Group's largest export products - various types of machine tools, various types of steam turbines, steel, excellent bearings, etc., they are also open to surrounding countries.

Liu Xinyu has realized that it is not a good national policy to withhold and not sell. The best national policy is to sell them in exchange for the enemy's resources, and suppress the enemy's market, economy, technology research, etc. by the way.

Because it involves a brand-new concept of economic warfare, today's morning court is very lengthy, and the final key discussion even only left senior officials above the third rank.

In the end, Liu Xinyu made a conclusion, "We want to sanction other countries, but the premise is that the interests of our country cannot be harmed.

The reason why we want to sanction other countries, the reason why we want to go to war, etc., is essentially for the national interest, which is the fundamental starting point.

Well, that's it for today. If there is a problem, we will discuss it again. "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - this morning was too weird. The queen suddenly changed her usual strategy, Zhang Hao was distracted the whole time, everything seemed so weird.

Zhou Jue's eyes were the brightest. He kept scanning Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu, feeling that something was going on between them. But I'm too embarrassed to ask about it.

After the morning court, Zhang Hao left the palace as if fleeing, and immediately got on the train to return, closing his eyes and resting his mind. When he opened his eyes and arrived at the Zhang family, Zhang Hao still inspected the properties of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group with a somewhat erratic expression.

Now the hottest industry is none other than machine tools. However, the machine tool technology belongs to the Zhang family, not Dayang Group.

The current Dayang Group is more like an industrial complex, and each family (shareholder) under it has its own business. But except for Dayang Group, almost 70% of the interests of the other shareholders come from Dayang Group.

At this moment, Zhang Hao is wandering around the property of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group like a ghost. He seems to be inspecting, but actually runs away...

Finally, Bai Yutang found out that something was wrong with Zhang Hao, and came to inquire.

"Ah..." Young Master Zhang sighed, "It's nothing, I just encountered something bad myself."

Young Master Zhang waved his hand and left gracefully.

After returning, Zhang Hao simply went into seclusion, the outside world...was too disturbing.

Zhang Hao retreated, but the Green Boat Bank of Dayang Group became popular again-the war bonds issued more than a year ago, some of which had a one-year term, had already expired. After re-counting, Oasis Bank withdrew all the war bonds and exchanged the promise.

At the beginning, the forms of war bonds were different, such as elixir, medicinal materials, various magic weapons, and so on. And the prices for these things were very different back then than they are now. For example, black iron, now ordinary black iron is everywhere.

There is also Peiyuan Pill, whose price was raised to seventy or eighty or hundreds of spirit stones at the beginning, but now the price is only 0.5 spirit stones.

At the beginning, everyone was very worried, not knowing how Lvzhou Bank would calculate it. As a result, Green Boat Bank converted it into Lingshi according to the value at that time. All, one-year war bonds, perfect payback success.

For a time, Lvzhou Bank became famous.

Taking this opportunity, Lvzhou Bank once again promoted banknotes, loans, and deposits, and expanded its business to the Land of Canglan and the Land of Shaoze along the railway.

Dayang Group is stepping towards capital oligarchy step by step.

Banknotes, this new thing, are gradually becoming the common currency of the West in Fertile Land.

It was not until 18 days later that someone finally knocked on the jade bell in Zhang Hao's retreat.

Dayang Group's new, a total of six steel warships, all tests have been completed. Including the 20,000-ton Zhenyuan and five Iron Duke-class warships.

A few days later, the sea blew violently. I don't think it's already winter.

But at this time, there were 14 steel warships in the port. Fourteen warships lined up side by side, and the majestic momentum made the seaside silent.

Dayang Group, Ocean Fleet, a 20,000-ton Zhenyuan, and five Iron Dukes.

The Kingdom of Qixia, the Pearl Fleet, and three Iron Duke-class warships.

Xuanzhenjiao, Weihai Fleet, five Iron Duke-class battleships—the two that sank before have been repaired, but at a heavy price.

The icy sea wind howled and rolled up the flag on the battleship. The Sea Eagle flag of the Dayang Group, the Phoenix flag of the Pearl Fleet, and the Jinyun Ziyang flag of the Weihai Fleet are buzzing.

Fourteen battleships lined up, each battleship was more than 500 meters apart.

The waves were rolling, but the battleship was hardly bumpy.

On the shore, an unknown number of people were observing this unprecedented event.

Of course, smart people may be able to discover more - these powerful warships are all produced by Dayang Group!

Liu Xinyu is here, to bid farewell to the fleet.

Xuanzhen Sect sent Hong Yunzi as a representative to watch the ceremony and go out to sea with the boat.

The elder of West Kunlun, Dong Guo Mingyun also came, and he stood beside Zhang Hao, his face full of emotion and shock. But my heart became more and more determined-we must establish a friendly cooperative relationship with Dayang Group!

Now the steel warships on the entire Fertile Continent are all produced by Dayang Group. Other countries, such as the country of Langya, can only produce 'black iron warships' now. Dong Guo Mingyun has seen it, and the technical gap is not even a little bit. They couldn't even match the first-generation warship technology of Dayang Group.

Now, Dayang Group has started to produce the second-generation warship, with a full load displacement of 25,000 tons, like a land on the sea!

More than two hundred meters in length! Made entirely of black iron. Dayang Group published an offer in the newspaper - 110 million top-grade spirit stones!

On the battleship, there were four people who had transformed themselves into gods—Liu Dingshan, Hong Yunzi, Ming Xuzi, and Fu Yun from Dayang Group.

In addition, the swordsman couple, as well as a large number of late Yuanying and peak masters will also go to sea.

This time, it was to slay the dragon!

Standing under the lighthouse, Zhang Hao's voice spread mightily. With the help of the added magic weapon, Zhang Hao's passionate voice spread to every battleship and every corner of the shore:

"A year and a half ago, I left a sentence here: This is where the land ends and the sea begins.

A year and a half later, the total length of the navigation lines drawn on our map exceeds 100,000 kilometers! We have opened up more than 20 large and small ports on the green sea of ​​death! "

"A year and a half ago, the Qixia Kingdom was struggling in despair, and the national war could not even produce strategic materials worth five million high-grade spirit stones. But at that time, the price of a Peiyuan Pill unexpectedly increased to fifty low-grade spirit stones, and more."

"But a year and a half later, Dayang Group created a miracle with a net profit of tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones per ship. The price of Peiyuan Pill was reduced to 0.5 low-grade spirit stones, so that every commoner can afford it!

In this short period of one and a half years, the density of domestic practitioners tripled! From the past, one out of ten people at the sixth level of Qi Refining has increased to one out of three people at the sixth level of Qi Refining!

These are all miracles and brilliance created by everyone! "

"The green sea of ​​death is nothing more than that! No difficulty can stop us from moving forward."

"This time, we want to...slay the dragon! We want to tell all the sea monsters in the Green Sea of ​​Death that Dayang Group will never compromise in the face of any provocation!

Set off! "

The whistle sounded, and the 14 steel warships started slowly.

At this time, the Zhenyuan, with a full load displacement of 27,000 tons, took the lead and tore open Haibo.

This time, all the battleships did not carry any cargo, but all of them were ammunition! This time, it's not for a deal, just for... slaying the dragon!

Mirage's actions have offended all the vested interests - Dayang Group, Qixia Kingdom, Xuanzhen Sect!

As an astrologer, Zhao Dahe stood proudly on the bow of the Zhenyuan ship, with sharp and firm eyes. This once depressed old man is now full of energy. He wants to lead an unprecedented steel fleet to slay dragons!
