Chapter 914 Footprints
In Haozhou, in the Dragon Tooth Empire, a three-party negotiation is in progress.
Negotiations among the Dragon Tooth Empire, the Five Elements Spirit World, and the four major sects are progressing in a difficult and even muddy way. The Five Elements Spirit World discovered the particularity of the Dragon Tooth Empire, and the four major sects worried that the Dragon Tooth Empire would fall to the Five Elements Spirit World; and the Dragon Tooth Empire had its own calculations. This negotiation was a wonderful one.
Negotiations were ahead, but Long Aoyun, the emperor of the Dragon Tooth Empire, walked into the "Aoyun Valley" of the Dragon Tooth Empire with a faint, mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
The technological level in the Aoyun Valley is already close to that disclosed by the Shang Dynasty; many technologies have even surpassed the Yue State, which is now recognized as the most technologically advanced country outside the Shang Dynasty.
The reason why the Dragon Tooth Empire has developed so fast is of course the support of the Shang Dynasty; but the Dragon Tooth Empire itself is also very competitive.
More than any other country, this country, which struggled to build from despair, cares about the 'power of war'.
The chief person in charge of Aoyun Valley is "Bone Shadow", the Minister of Science and Technology of the Dragon Tooth Empire. In addition, Bone Shadow is also in charge of military affairs. And the person who assisted Aoyun Valley to operate was Huangfucai, the Minister of Industry and Commerce (Ministry of Economy and Industry) of Aoyun Empire, a woman.
Other countries may underestimate women, but the Aoyun Empire will not underestimate women. The Aoyun Empire is learning everything from the Shang Dynasty, so it is very clear that the power of women can also hold up the sky. Yun Feihong of the Shang Dynasty did not know that everyone was overwhelmed. A woman supported the sky of the Shang Dynasty and even the human race.
Long Aoyun walked slowly in Aoyun Valley.
Here, there is already pure, liquid evil spirit after compression. It is generally believed that evil spirits are dark red, weird and dangerous; however, pure evil spirits are emerald red, pure, translucent, and extremely beautiful. This kind of evil spirit is simply a different kind of treasure.
However, only the people of the Dragon Tooth Empire dared to process the evil spirit in this way. The Spirit Gathering Formation absorbed the rolling evil energy from the heaven and the earth, and the workers, technicians, and scientists of the Dragon Tooth Empire entered and exited the evil energy without any protection.
This alone makes it impossible for other countries to master the production technology of evil spirits—not even the Shang Dynasty. Because of the serious evil spirit, it can even affect the operation of formations and so on. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty did not need evil spirits, and of course they would not study related technologies.
However, in addition to evil spirits, Dragon Tooth Empire also produces liquid spiritual energy. However, the liquid aura of the Dragon Tooth Empire is not used for cultivation, but for industry, war, etc., and is used as energy.
Fuel and other energy may be good, but in the environment of Xianyu, liquid aura is the best fuel and energy, and can explode the greatest power. Only the military industry with liquid aura can truly threaten the masters.
Long Aoyun inspected little by little, and saw the black iron, red copper, etc. that were being produced, and also saw the supersonic aircraft that belonged to the Dragon Tooth Empire, which was under research and development, and even saw the spiritual power driven by liquid aura. Cannons, engines, bombs and more.
In the Dragon Tooth Empire, many studies can even be said to be "extreme". The scientific research of the Shang Dynasty focused on the whole and went hand in hand, focusing on scientific research and benefiting the country and the people; supplemented by war. But here in the Dragon Tooth Empire, all the research is aimed at war.
This kind of extreme research thinking allowed the Dragon Tooth Empire to make rapid progress in one direction and reach its limit.
After inspecting around, Long Aoyun found the bone shadow that got into the research room, "How long will it take us to reach the first stage goal?"
Bone Shadow did some calculations and gave a timeline: "The goal of the first stage will take 15 to 18 months. The goal of the second stage will take another 10 to 12 months. At most, we will be able to achieve it within 30 months. goal achieved."
"Okay!" Long Aoyun nodded. After leaving Aoyun Valley, Long Aoyun immediately went to Prime Minister Duan Longquan, "No matter what, you have to squeeze out three years for me.
During these three years, you can use negotiation, or commercial means. "
"Understood! It's only three years. It's normal for a negotiation to drag on for five or six years. Moreover, the Five Elements Spirit World will cooperate with us to delay the time. They hope to delay the time even more." At the end, Duan Longquan, the prime minister of the Dragon Tooth Empire, laughed Yes, also laughing a little mockingly.
The Five Elements Spirit World and the Four Great Sects all thought they were good, but they didn't know that they were all being used by the Dragon Tooth Empire. The establishment time of the current Dragon Tooth Empire is too short, and the scientific development is seriously insufficient. So, timing is key.
Just as the Shang Dynasty repeatedly emphasized the need for three years of rest and development, the Dragon Tooth Empire now also needs three years of development. After extensive rapid progress, any country needs a period of adjustment.
Although the Shang Dynasty hadn't had much time to rest, Li Xian also kept making adjustments. A National Assembly almost eliminated all the crises of the Shang Dynasty. And the Dragon Tooth Empire still needs to work hard.
After returning to the palace, Long Aoyun quietly looked into the distance, his sharp eyes swept across the map of Haozhou!
The first goal of the Dragon Tooth Empire: national industrialization; the second goal: the military can keep up with the pace of the Shang Dynasty.
…………
Dongsheng Shenzhou, a huge aerospace aircraft carrier slowly appeared in the west of Yongchang County in the early morning, accompanied by the rising sun.
Early in the morning, many cultivators who were exhaling discovered the "black spot" that appeared from the eastern sky. Then, under the attention of countless people, the "black spot" gradually enlarged, and finally half an hour later, it was completely exposed above Yongchang County.
Two huge aerospace aircraft carriers came across the sky, causing a huge commotion in Yongchang County. Everyone took off one after another, some wanted to watch, and some were wary, but without exception, almost everyone either opened their mouths or stared.
You have never seen such a huge aircraft, let alone an aircraft flying at such a high altitude. Even a master of the Mahayana period, or a Sanxian, would not fly so high if he is idle and has a cramp in his head.
Peng Shaohui, the governor of Yongchang County, who had been notified earlier, had already led his personnel to the suburbs to wait. Seeing an aerospace aircraft carrier appearing in the distant sky, he immediately led his soldiers to activate the formation, and four white rainbows rose into the sky. In the middle of the white rainbow was an open space about 1,500 meters long and wide.
The white rainbow rising into the sky, He Zhiguo and others saw it, and the people gathered in Yongchang County naturally saw it too.
Immediately, someone yelled: "It's Baihong again, it seems that he came here by invitation, and it was invited by Ziyuan Shenting. Let's go, let's go over and see who is here this time. Okay Great battle!"
"Yeah, let's go and have a look!"
The crowd was disturbed and flew to the outskirts of the city.
After a while, the aerospace carrier came above the beam of light and began to fall slowly and vertically. It seems that a piece of sky is slowly pressing down.
Below, countless people looked up and watched in shock. Then they felt the heavy aura pressure, and then they saw the aerospace carrier slowly falling to the center of the field. Finally, they saw Linghu Zhenwu fly up from the air carrier.
"Did Linghu Zhenwu personally invite you here?"
"Hey guy, where did this come from? The pattern of bright yellow above, dark blue below, and purple Big Dipper seems to be some kind of symbol."
"The word 'Shang' doesn't seem to be a common font for us, but it can be barely distinguished. Could it be that it came from another Shenzhou?"
"Look, the people on the aircraft are dressed completely differently from us."
"I'm more curious about this aircraft. How is this thing made? And to be able to fly so high, the aura consumed must not be a small number. Now that resources are scarce, where do they get so much material? Where do they get so much aura? "
Everyone was discussing, Linghu Zhenwu flew up and spoke loudly: "Dear friends, let me introduce a group of friends from far away.
They came from Yingzhou, which was 70 million miles away, and from a country called 'Shang Dynasty'. They came this time to explore the civilization and cultural center of the human race and the place where the human race rose.
The Shang Dynasty was a country based on 'industry and commerce', and the whole country attached great importance to commerce. The king of the Shang Dynasty himself was a big businessman. Therefore, most of the items here in the Shang Dynasty can be traded, as long as everyone can afford the price.
Today, everyone in the Shang Dynasty will take a short rest and tidy up their residences. Starting tomorrow, the Shang Dynasty will officially start exchanges. Everyone should be prepared in advance.
Let me secretly tell you that there are many good things here in the Shang Dynasty, which are definitely beyond your imagination. Okay everyone, goodbye. See you tomorrow morning. "
After finishing speaking, Linghu Zhenwu flew away, apparently in a hurry.
On the other hand, Peng Shaohui, the governor of Yongchang County, commanded the soldiers to temporarily block the surrounding area, while he himself entered it, visited He Zhiguo, and had preliminary exchanges—exchanging the rules of Yongchang County, understanding the purpose and needs of the Shang Dynasty missions, and so on.
Every place has its own rules, and He Zhiguo also understands this, so he puts the transaction and real communication on tomorrow.
Peng Shaohui, the sheriff of Yongchang County, is a master in the period of returning to the truth, but this person is not old-fashioned and has a wooden face. On the contrary, he talks and laughs happily and is very funny. He can easily talk about things and anecdotes about Dongsheng Shenzhou.
But it was these anecdotes that allowed He Zhiguo to have a deeper understanding of the rules, customs and customs of Yongchang County. This Peng Shaohui is also a wonderful person. He actually explained all the precautions of Yongchang County by telling stories and making metaphors.
Not only will such a statement not be boring, but it will fill the two sides with talk and create a friendly atmosphere.
In the end, He Zhiguo also gave out a form - which listed in detail the items that could be traded in the Shang Dynasty. Including liquid aura, a small amount of imperial liquid, a very small amount of fairy aura, as well as a large number of finished high-quality magic weapons, exquisite industrial products, and so on. Finally, of course, there is the exchange of ideas.
He Zhiguo even said that the Shang Dynasty will also hold an "ideological and academic job fair". This job fair has no quantity limit, no time limit, and no identity restrictions; as long as it passes the test, the Shang Dynasty will issue a solemn invitation. Even if you don't go to the Shang Dynasty, you will get rich rewards.
Peng Shaohui didn't say anything, but left after finishing the statistics of the information. After coming outside, Peng Shaohui immediately made the information public, giving everyone a clear direction.
Needless to say, after the information was released, it attracted a lot of exclamations, but even more contempt:
"Damn it, Diliujiang? Immortal spirit? Is it real or not?"
"A magic weapon? A high-quality magic weapon? You can even show it. All we exchange here are spiritual treasures! Sure enough, people from a small place don't have much knowledge."
"What kind of ideological and academic exchange conference? Why does this name sound so awkward! How can there be such a good-sounding 'Discussion Conference', 'Fa Conference', 'Cultivation Conference', or 'Ascension Conference'."
"What is a computer? It costs 3.5 million taels of gold?"
"You want gold? What kind of Shang Dynasty trading magic weapon, you want gold? People in small places just have shallow knowledge. But it's okay, gold, there is plenty of it!"
Everyone had a lot of discussion. After seeing that in the end, all transactions in the Shang Dynasty only accepted gold, everyone was immediately moved - the most important thing for a cultivator is gold!
Well, let us first declare that on Dongsheng Shenzhou, gold is still only circulated among ordinary people, and the communication between cultivators is more based on barter, or spirit stones, etc. as currency.
Everyone knows that gold trading can transfer luck, but because people use it seldom, or even not practical at all, they don't have a deep understanding of this effect. And the so-called "no shortage of gold" that everyone thinks is just a subconscious mind without thinking.
From the point of view of cultivators, there is plenty of gold, and if you dig in the mountains, you don't know how much it is—of course, this is just what practitioners take for granted.
In fact, although there is no shortage of gold in Xianyu, it is only relative. Gold is still a relatively rare precious metal.
But no matter what, the practitioners present were immediately excited when they learned that all transactions here in the Shang Dynasty only needed gold. No matter how expensive he is, if he can exchange common things like gold for treasures, no matter how expensive it is, it will be a good deal!
Therefore, after confirming the information, the cultivators dispersed immediately to collect gold. They feel that gold is everywhere.
…………
At noon, Liu Jie, Gongshu Mingke and his party came to a small town. The town is relatively remote, but also relatively simple; but at the same time, relatively poor. This is a small town for ordinary people. The person with the highest cultivation level in the town is a Nascent Soul Stage old village elder who is already dying. It is hard to say whether he can exert one-tenth of his strength.
The arrival of Liu Jie, Gongshu Mingke and his party did not cause much shock. But there were still quite a few children gathered around. Because of the remoteness of this town, few people came here. The children were curious and timid. They surrounded Liu Jie and his party, but they didn't dare to get close.
Seeing this, Liu Jie smiled; a smile is the best words, no need to say anything, the children immediately began to gather around.
"Uncle, uncle, are you a master from outside?"
"Uncle, why did you come to our town? Are you here to accept apprentices?"
"Uncle, how about my qualifications?"
...
Liu Jie is dressed in a slightly worn clothes, a slightly vicissitudes, a gentle scholarly atmosphere, which makes people feel good.
The children crowded around excitedly, very excited; while Liu Jie was infected by these children, he also sighed a little-these children wanted to practice, and many of them had good aptitudes. Infants are still fine.
However, because of the remoteness here, and because the town is relatively poor, they missed the best age for practice—before the root bones are initially finalized, that is, before the age of ten.
Thinking of this, thinking of the goal he had just set, Liu Jie decided that this is his starting point.
Immediately, Liu Jie said in a loud voice: "Children, wait, wait. I am a traveling scholar, and I will not accept students for the time being. But I can explain some cultivation knowledge and solve some small cultivation problems for you here. difficulty."
"Oh..." The children immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly, cheering endlessly.
Seeing this, the old village elder staggered to the side, and bowed to Liu Jie: "Thank you, senior."
Liu Jie smiled slightly: "It's just a matter of convenience. So how about it, I'll start there in half an hour. Everyone hurry up and get ready."
Liu Jie pointed to a sycamore tree in the center of the town. At this time, the sycamore tree was already a little yellow, but it was still flourishing. The sycamore tree is very thick, almost seven or eight feet in diameter, and it may be three or two thousand years old.
Standing under the parasol tree, Liu Jie recalled the words of Gongshu Mingke last night: learn Confucianism, give lectures publicly, and build a broad public base—of course, this requires confidence in one's own ideology.
And where to start? The meaning of Gongshu Mingke is - start from the bottom, step by step!
But the ultimate goal is to point directly to the well-known thought exchange center in the east of Yingzhou: Yongchang County.
