Chapter 468 Going South

"What needs 200 million taels of gold?" All the representatives of the Yue Kingdom are a bit stupid. One item needs 200 million taels of gold, what a blackmail!

Gou Yuanli was silent for a while: "A complete set of oil refining equipment! It is the equipment that can extract underground turbid gas. This set of equipment can refine oil every day...Shang Kingdom called underground turbid gas oil, in short, it can refine about 1,000 tons of oil every day. Yes A small set of equipment.

But with this device, we can imitate and imitate.

At least half of the strength of the Shang Kingdom is based on oil; as long as we can build our own oil refining equipment, we can at least replicate one-third of the industrial strength of the Shang Kingdom. "

After Gou Yuanli finished speaking, she waited for the prince to speak. To be honest, this negotiation was quite unexpected. At the end of the negotiation, Fang Shijing actually offered to sell a set of oil refining equipment to Yue. Although this set of refining equipment is of the type eliminated by the Shang Kingdom, it has complete functions and comprehensive technologies, and can refine and decompose 90% of the components of underground turbid gas.

What is left is spiritual energy, magic energy and other messy breaths, which cannot be separated. More, Fang Shijing didn't say.

Gou Yuanli thought for a long time, and finally made a judgment that this set of equipment must be obtained; otherwise, large steel ships, locomotives, and airplanes would be useless.

Of course, Gou Yuanli also understands that this oil refining equipment can only refine oil, and the mixture of aura, magic, and monsters behind it is also the most essential part that cannot be separated, but this is enough.

It is only the price of 200 million taels of gold, to buy a bunch of half-old equipment, this decision must be made by the prince. And this is one of the reasons why the prince will come to this negotiation.

Yueming closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, "Go and tell the people of Shang Kingdom about half of Wu's territory. That's the price!"

Using other people's land to ask for a price, this decision...is too much. But when Gou Yuanli heard this, she turned around and left without hesitation!

…………

In the south of Anyang City, on the top of a 100-meter-high building, Sima Xuan, Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom, is leading the Prince of Jin to look into the distance.

"Your Highness, please look, there is the shipyard of Shang Kingdom, and it is also the shipyard of Brilliant Star Group. It has been a year and a half since I first saw this shipyard.

In one and a half years, the area of ​​the shipyard has expanded more than ten times. The tallest building has increased from a height of 30 meters to the current height of more than 80 meters; here, 30,000 tons of super warships can already be produced!

At 30,000 tons, the steel consumed by a warship is equal to the total steel output of Jin State in a whole year!

The number of railways leading to the shipyard increased from two to eight within a year and a half, and endless supplies were sent from all over the Shang Kingdom to the shipyard.

Now, the shipyard can build five 10,000-ton warships and two 30,000-ton warships at the same time.

For warships below 5,000 tons, 12 ships can be built at the same time.

In addition, 10,000-ton commercial ships can be built at the same time. "

Just as they were talking, a train came from a distant railway and headed for the shipyard; the trailer behind this train was full of steel ingots.

Sima Xuan continued: "There are trains like this almost every 20 minutes, transporting materials from all over the Kingdom of Shang to the shipyard.

In fact, such trains have already begun to form a network in various parts of the Shang Kingdom, transporting all the materials for the Shang Kingdom. "

Jin Yuantai, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, looked at the shipyard quietly, and kept looking back at the distinctive An'anyang City, at the skyscrapers, at the orderly traffic, at the criss-cross viaducts and roads , frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Sima Xuan said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to make up your mind. You can't give the Shang Kingdom any more time to develop. Even if the loss is heavy, you must... strike!"

Jin Yuantai nodded slightly, "I'm going back to my country first. The task of contacting other countries will be handed over to the Prime Minister."

"clear."

Soon, Jin Yuantai left the Kingdom of Shang and returned to the country; while Prime Minister Sima Xuan began to visit missions, representatives, ambassadors, etc. from various countries, inviting representatives to attend meetings in the Kingdom of Jin.

Sima Xuan didn't cover up these actions at all, they were such aboveboard actions, and even reporters took pictures. I don't know if it's self-confidence or arrogance.

After Sima Xuan arrogantly greeted the envoys from all over the world, he left the Shang Kingdom, leaving only one ambassador with no rights in the embassy.

In the evening of that day, ambassadors from various countries sent messages back to their home countries.

…………

Listening to the information reported by Chen Jinbing, Li Xian just smiled faintly, with a lot of disdain in his smile, "A bunch of scattered sand can't make a climate. When we first developed, they didn't unite; when we established a country, they didn't unite either." ...they united after we got a firm foothold?

What did you do early! "

Li Xian has no worries about the surrounding countries. The general trend of the Shang Kingdom has been established; especially the beginning of the Industrial Revolution means that the Shang Kingdom has been on the right track. At this time, if outsiders want to disturb the development of the Shang Kingdom, before Li Xian can speak, those businessmen, entrepreneurs, etc. will have opinions.

Today, the Shang Kingdom's industrial and commercial system, which focuses on arms, has basically controlled at least 30% of the country's political trends. Not to mention anything else, if a war really breaks out, the Kingdom of Shang can definitely provide assistance to the countries behind these countries; it can even play the trick of combining vertical and horizontal.

If there were only two countries around the Shang Kingdom, Qi and Jin, the development of the Shang Kingdom would be very restricted.

But if there are so many countries in the Shang Kingdom, it will be difficult for these countries to unite. With a little provocation, Shang Kingdom can win over its allies. Throughout history, politics has sometimes been "idiots", knowing that it is wrong, but people continue to repeat wrong actions.

Just thinking about this, Gou Yuanli, Prime Minister of Yue Kingdom, came to visit again.

"Hello King Xian, our Crown Prince is willing to use half of Wu's territory to buy a complete set of oil refining equipment at a price of 200 million taels of gold.

In addition, we are preparing to leave for Vietnam this afternoon. "

Pay with someone else's land? Li Xian couldn't stop laughing. As soon as I thought about the ridiculousness of politics, someone sent me such a joke.

At last, Xu Ren had a keen reaction and saw Li Xian's color. He immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Gou Yuanli, we in the Shang Kingdom do things without any principles. Do you know this?"

"Understood. What our Highness means is that after conquering Wu, half of Wu's territory will be used to pay for it."

"That's fine. We're not going to be in any wars, we're just making money. That's our bottom line.

And one thing must be made clear to you, we are just a businessman, and you can regard the entire business kingdom as a super business group; therefore, no matter who can provide wealth and respect our business rules, we are willing to cooperate with you transaction. "

"I understand!" Gou Yuanli replied sullenly.

Xu Ren's words were obviously telling Gou Yuanli: We are very dissatisfied with the way you paid half of Wu's territory in advance, so we want to beat you a little bit.

There is also a hidden warning - you have to abide by our business rules, if you don't, be careful and bear the consequences.

And the business rule of Shang Kingdom is - if the price offered by Wu Guo is good, we may cooperate with Wu Guo. Businessmen are profit-seeking, you have to understand!

With so many "warnings", it's no wonder that Gou Yuanli responded with a sullen face. What Li Yuanming said was pointing his nose and saying - you must be obedient!

Anyone who encounters such a situation will feel uncomfortable! This is a bit disrespected, and even looks at people with their nostrils.

But the reality is... Yue State itself is not authentic; it is a bit absurd to pay with the land of Wu State.

Li Xian was watching from the side, he was in a reasonable mood, but he couldn't laugh or cry - this is politics, look, everyone is acting, and everyone is challenging the bottom line of morality; although it is said that he is benefiting By. Every "qualified" politician is still in society and must suffer moral condemnation.

After Gou Yuanli left, Li Xian thought for a while, and finally thought of Fu Minghui. Open the Lingtong Baojian and directly contact Fu Minghui, "Governor Fu, how is your training going?"

Li Xian was not joking, he was very serious.

Fu Minghui is on the warship. "The training has been completed. The soldiers have been able to fully control the warship and adapt to life at sea."

"That's good, get ready, go south when you're ready, go to Wu Yue.

Remember, there is a rotation every five years; five years does not count as travel time. Don't return for five years, let the soldiers get ready.

In addition, you are the first ocean-going colonizer in the Kingdom of Shang... Ahem... Governor of Public Security, pay attention to record the problems you find, etc. If you encounter something irresistible, remember to protect the soldiers first. "
