Section 1925 Discuss Countermeasures

It can be said that the emperor of the Western Empire has been extremely depressed recently. No matter how good things are, none of them can get to his head. No matter what it is, as long as it goes to others, it is a good thing. I have encountered several bad things, and one is bigger than the other. In the past 50 years, the four empires can say that they are all good, but my life here is not good. I am the only one among the four empires. A country with a rebellion.

Well, this rebellion is nothing. I have already solved it very well, but I have also become the one with the lowest comprehensive national power among the four empires. Hundreds of provinces in the country have become a little bit worse because of this rebellion. Falling behind, this can be solved by myself, but just now I got rid of this problem, why did the problem of the black potion master appear, this is much worse than that rebellion, I still don't know how to deal with this matter know what to do.

People on the whole continent use two words when talking about black potion master, that is fear, what's wrong with him being the emperor, isn't the emperor afraid of black potion master, that is absolutely impossible, and he is also afraid What can I do if I'm going to die? If something like this happens on my own territory, why don't I have to convene people to ask what's going on? No, the meeting place is in the Western Empire It was held in the Qinzheng Hall of the imperial palace, but the ministers who appeared here today were not the former ministers, and they were not discussing some common affairs of the empire. They were discussing the appearance of black magic pharmacists in the Western Empire. Except for my uncle and a few General. The people who can enter here must be at least level 9 fighters. This magician can only come in with a level 7 Sorcerer's Stone, but most of the level 7 magicians do not speak when they come in. They just need to look at their master and talk. , This is what their master told them. Magicians have relatively simple minds and are not very suitable for holding such meetings. When they come in a lot, they come to listen. Today is the first day of the meeting. It's here. But the people from the Eastern Empire and the Southern Empire are still on the road because of the long distance. This is also because Li Cong sent his airship.

If there is no Li Cong's airship, it is estimated that people from the Eastern Empire and the Southern Empire want to come here. Even if they quickly cross the Warcraft Mountains to come here for a meeting, it will take at least half a year. This is still the speed of a ninth-level fighter. If you change someone else. Estimated to have a few years time. Everyone is very satisfied with Li Cong's generosity. Of course, the royal family of the Western Empire, as the landlords, has to express it anyway, although it is not confirmed that the base camp of the Black Magic Apothecary is in your Western Empire. But no matter what, we are all here to fight with you, and you have to show something. Li Cong became the first person in the Western Empire. The green light, for example, reduced half of the sailors, and gave the 20,000 new boarding ships on the Red River to Cao's firm. This is also a compliment to Li Cong's dispatch of airships to pick up people. Even we have a conscience, and we won't let everyone do it for nothing.

In the past, participating in such meetings was a paradise for magicians and warriors, but now there are also many potion masters and archers. Potion masters and archers can be said to be a neglected profession among all professions. It's because their functions are not so powerful. Many people don't even know about such a meeting. This time it's different. The opponent is not the Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains

It is those black potion masters, which shows the power of archers. Sometimes the power of archers may be much more powerful than warriors. Of course, there is no way for magicians to replace them. As for magicians Pharmacists, they were not qualified in the past, but black magic pharmacists are a type of magic pharmacists after all, even if the difference is clear, they should let them see what's going on, maybe they have new clues.

Although the emperor of the Western Empire is sitting on the throne as before, he can tell that these people don't respect him as the emperor. It's really because they are a group of warriors, and what these people admire most is their fists. Hard-boiled people, as for those high-ranking officials in power, let’s forget it, we don’t know you very well, and we don’t have so many etiquettes, so you don’t want to participate, let’s discuss it separately, in fact, those high-ranking officials The dignitaries played very little role in this meeting. The black magic pharmacists are least afraid of ordinary people. Tens of millions of ordinary troops also have a restraining effect on the monsters, but for these black magic pharmacists It's their food, I don't know when they might go up and eat these people.

On the official side of the Western Empire, Prince Zheng is still in charge, and His Majesty the Emperor is more of a decoration. In fact, the Emperor does not want to participate in such a meeting. Normally, he is one person under one person and above ten thousand people, but today It is no longer that there is a person who shows disdain for himself, and he has no way to punish them. These guys are now begging them, so it is not easy to do too much. Besides, they are also here to help the Lord, right? .

According to incomplete statistics, tens of thousands of people have died in the hands of the Black Medicine Apothecary in the Western Empire since the discovery of the Black Medicine Apothecary. Tens of thousands of people are completely insignificant for a large empire with a population of more than 200 billion. What, but the social panic caused is definitely very serious. Now many villages are empty, and their fields have begun to go barren. They would rather go to some big places as refugees than Those who return to their hometown may not see anything for the entire empire in the short term, but it will not work in the long term. In the long run, the economy of the Western Empire may collapse.

Although Li Cong didn't know the person who came from the Northern Empire, he had heard of it. The one who came was the fifteenth son of the Emperor of the Northern Empire, a standard martial idiot. He was only less than three hundred years old, but he was already A ninth-level fighter, and two tenth-level fighters behind him are also from the royal family of the Northern Empire, of course. He can only represent the official power of the Northern Empire. As for those folk powers, he is not capable of representing them. Li Cong and His Royal Highness Huang Zi still showed a good relationship. The little princess has a good relationship, and she sent a lot of gifts on her birthday, but at that time Li Cong was afraid of having anything to do with the princes in the capital, so he politely declined. This meeting was very good.

There are only a hundred or so people in the entire hall, but there are seven tenth-level fighters among the hundred people, and more than half of the tenth-level fighters from the Northern Empire and the Western Empire are here. A team of 30 magicians came from the Northern Empire. There are also fifteen ninth-level archers, and the lineup is still very strong. Originally, they thought that a team of this size would have no problem dealing with those black potion masters, but when they heard what Prince Zheng had said, after the process. These people no longer have so much confidence in their hearts. They also retreated a bit at this time. Damn, it is said that there are only two black potion masters for such a powerful being killed like that? If it all comes out. The number is definitely not small, and these people may not belong to that opponent.

The Northern Empire Magician Union is led by a ninth-level magician, but this guy didn't say anything after he came. He told Li Cong when he entered the door just now that Li Cong was responsible for everything about the Northern Empire Magician Union this time. Yes, and this guy also said that during the meeting, such a young person is responsible for all the actions of a magicians union in foreign countries, which is also very responsible, but for Li Cong, it is more important than this burden It's not that we haven't done more important things, and what we have done is also very good, so we don't have too many excuses for the appointment of Li Cong. They have all heard of Li Cong's Warcraft Legion just now. This group of magicians also believes in strength more. As long as it is your ability, no one will say that you are not good, and they will not cheat behind your back. After the Northern Empire magicians came, not only did they not resist Li Cong's command, on the contrary, boasted to the magicians of the Western Empire.

As for some other folk powers, they also sent people to participate, and their ideas are also very clear, that is, these damned black magic pharmacists must be eliminated quickly, otherwise it may cause greater damage in the future. They also said that all things can be decided at this meeting, and they just obey. Although this is a bit irresponsible, it can be seen that this time the matter is really too big, and no one dares to To bear this responsibility, maybe this is a matter for human beings for the rest of their lives. If it is in my hands that human beings suffer a lot, I will be a fool in the future, and no one will refute it.

"Everyone, be quiet. I have already said these words just now. Now I want to ask everyone, is there any way for us to deal with these black magic medicine masters?" Prince Zheng left half a message for everyone. Hours of time to discuss, these people are some martial arts, they are not very good at this.

"His Royal Highness, it's okay for us people to kill monsters, but we can't do much when it comes to using our brains to figure out a way. If you have something to do, I think you can just say it. All of us If you don’t have any good feelings for the Black Potion Master, it will be a matter of time before you kill them.” A ninth-level fighter said, what he said was the same as most of the fighters wanted to say, his prestige is still very good, this After the guy said that, the rest of the people couldn't say anything. They all looked at Prince Zheng, and really hoped that the old prince could say something.

"Everyone loves me so much. In fact, I think we older people may not have any new insights on this matter. Now I will introduce a person to you. This person is the Western Empire Magicians Guild. Mr. Cao Ke, a tall student, if Mr. Cao Ke hadn't brought his team to this scuffle, we old guys might not be able to come back. I think Mr. Cao Ke should have his own ideas. "Prince Zheng pointed to Li Cong and said, Li Cong didn't expect that the old prince would push himself out. Now that he has reached this opening, he has no way to shrink back, and that is not his own style.

"Well, what His Royal Highness said is good. The situation at that time was extremely urgent. Cao Ke, I think you have a way of doing things. You can just say it directly. Anyway, you are still very young. , even if we say something wrong, we won’t take it seriously.” The elder of the Cao Gang also said at the same time, there are several tenth-level fighters in this room, and there are two people here who expressed their support. Because they saw Li Cong's true strength.

"Hehe, my brother-in-law is indeed not an ordinary person. Brother-in-law, since everyone has said that, you can just express your opinion." said the fifteenth son of the Emperor of the Northern Empire. Li Cong nodded with a smile. Everyone said that. If he still shirks, he will not serve the common people all over the world. Although such an outline is not popular yet. But if it is not guaranteed, someone will say it.

Li Cong stood up slowly. First, he went to the middle and gave a not-so-standard salute to His Majesty the Emperor, which made the old emperor of the Western Empire really feel relieved, if it wasn't because he was still begging these people. I really want to stand up and educate these people well, to see what you are doing, to see how Cao Ke handles things, why is there such a big gap between you and others, everyone knows that the emperor should be surnamed Li first Yes, you people don't take Lao Tzu seriously at all. Although his salute is not very standardized, he still has that gesture anyway, and he has given Lao Tzu face.

"Hehe, Mr. Cao doesn't need to be too polite. Let's talk about how to deal with those black magic medicine masters. I believe Mr. Cao's method should be effective." It is necessary to reciprocate and say a few words, but other people have no feeling at all about the emperor's words.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for being so considerate of the boy. In fact, I have also observed some of these black potion masters. They are just like what the elders said. They are very weak. We can actually use them all over the country To build a huge alarm mechanism within the range, of course, this cannot be built in a short period of time, I have a plan, that is to build a number of beacon towers in big cities across the country, as long as the Black Potion Master is found The whereabouts are directly ignited the beacon tower, and at the same time immediately dispatched a fast horse to report to the capital. In this way, the news can be spread in a very short time. My airship express also has its own points in some cities across the country, and you can also directly Send the news to me, my airship will put aside all business and immediately transport the news to the capital. I plan to leave two speedboats in the capital to transport everyone directly to the area where the black potion master was found. From here It is very convenient to go to all parts of the country. I believe that with the speed of the airship, they will not run very far after we get there. This is in the areas where there are airship express points. I didn’t think of a solution, this is just my humble opinion, and what I said is not very good, it makes everyone laugh.” Li Cong said with a smile, his point of view is also very clear, I can do things, but I need a certain amount of time. The condition is that there must be Lao Tzu’s airship spots all over the country. This is the best. The emperor on the stage is the first to understand. He secretly scolded Li Cong for being slippery, but established a perfect warning mechanism This is a little lower, and the most important point. At present, this is also the most effective method.

"Actually, this matter is very simple. I think the Western Empire government can support it on a large scale. If all counties and cities have such airship spots, I think those beacon towers can be saved completely. Come on, the empire's finances can be reduced a lot." Prince Zheng thought for a while and said, the empire also has a lot of things like beacon towers, and if such beacon towers are built everywhere in the empire, it will definitely cost people and money , for the current Western Empire, it seems a bit unfinished. Although Li Cong's method allowed his strength to spread to the entire empire, but under the current circumstances, if he doesn't do that, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end. For the government, what would the government do without the people? If there are more refugees, the government will have nothing to do.

"Yes, what Mr. Cao said is right. Mr. Cao's airship can't be taken out for nothing. These are all costs. Although it is the business of all of us to deal with the black magic pharmacist, we can't let it go. People do things for nothing." Other people also came out and said, these people are really capable, they are all martial arts, so naturally they can't think of so many things, the emperor is depressed, damn it. I have to exempt the other half of the boy's tax.

"Everyone, everyone, in fact, this contribution is a very normal thing. You don't need to give me anything more. If you want to take care of my business, you can go to my firm to do more business." Li Cong said in a timely manner When they came out to advertise their own trading firm, these people naturally agreed with their mouths. You must know that the people here are all ninth-level fighters, and they have many subordinates. Li Cong can make money for his trading firm at once. To a lot of customers.

Everyone expressed very good kindness to Li Cong's generosity. They all feel that this kid is a person who does great things. Everyone happily made friends with Li Cong. Li Cong naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. He had no connections in the Western Empire except Prince Yulin. So many people came here in an instant. contacts. It will definitely be a very good help for my future development. Don't look at the fact that many people may not even have a chance to speak here. But these people are all people who can change the world by stomping their feet on their one-acre three-point land, so there is absolutely no harm in making good friends with them.

"After talking about some big directions, there are still some small aspects that need attention. We still have to rely on the power of His Majesty the Emperor." Li Cong said when everyone was a little quiet. The emperor on the stage saw that he had nothing to do with himself at all. The matter, the self-esteem in this heart has been hit quite a bit. When I heard Li Cong say that, I was about to fall asleep, but I immediately regained my energy. It turns out that I am still useful, showing off to ordinary people My own rights are something I have been doing since I was a child, and there is no pleasure at all, but if I show my rights to these people, that is a happy thing. You are very powerful, and each of you is even better than yourself. Great, but I also have things that you don't have. You can say that your servants are doing things for you, but I can say that people in the entire empire have to do things for you. Of course, everyone here can only refer to ordinary people. His servants are dead, and it is better not to expect these masters to listen to him.

"I don't know where I can help everyone. I am also very enthusiastic about dealing with these black magic medicine masters." His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile. Many people here have seen His Majesty the Emperor. When will they speak? So amiable, it seems that this kid is very good at life, and everyone here is optimistic about him.

"Your Majesty can do too many things. One of the most important things is to establish an early warning mechanism. Your Majesty will issue an imperial decree to let local officials pay attention to the bizarre deaths in the nearby area. As long as more than five people die together There is reason to suspect that although we all have some strength, we may not have enough strength to pay attention to these things. This is better done by the emperor. The whole empire is your majesty's news. The most well-informed, it’s just that His Majesty has to deal with this matter specially, otherwise the news may not be so fresh with the way the government operates.” Li Cong said, and everyone laughed after the next few words. They all know the efficiency of the government's work, and the emperor's face is not radiant, but the old boy Li Cong said is very happy. Indeed, such a thing can be done by himself. They are all useless.

"Okay, this is no problem. After the meeting is over, I will ask the local officials below to do it. This should be done as the top priority. I just feel that if everyone stays in the capital, will there be some resources? It's a waste, I think so, no matter where they are, the capital city is a bit far away from these places, the capital city is close to the north, if they are in the south, it seems a bit slow for you to pass, it's better like this, let's These people can be divided into two groups, one group will continue to wait in the capital, and the other group can disperse to a large city in the south with convenient transportation, do you know my opinion? What do you think, Uncle Emperor?" His Majesty's words were flawless Yes, but Li Cong still understood what this old guy was thinking, and Prince Zheng on the side seemed to understand it all of a sudden.

Of course they can deal with a few ninth-level fighters entering the capital, but with so many ninth-level fighters and even tenth-level fighters here, they can't handle it. Those magicians don't need to worry about it. , It’s all about the Magician’s Union, and they won’t have any interaction with ordinary people. The most terrible thing is these fighters, if they are all in the capital. There will definitely be conflicts with some dignitaries in the capital, and it will be me who will be in trouble at that time.

"I think your Majesty's words are reasonable. If all of us are in the capital, although the speed of the airship is very fast, this thing often delays time. If our starting point is near there, it can save a lot of money. It's time." Prince Zheng was also the first to stand up and express his agreement. Although some other people saw it, most of them still didn't see it. They also thought that the emperor's words were right. Although Li Cong could see it. But he still agreed, and he also praised this matter well. I have to please these warriors, and I have to please the emperor.

"The matter can basically be settled like that. Mr. Cao. I heard that your trading house has many magic arrows placed by magicians. There are so many archers here, and they are also the main force to deal with black potion masters. Do you know if Mr. Cao can give them some discounts?" Just as everyone was about to leave the palace, an archer came over and said. His words also caused some senior archers around to stick their heads over. Li Cong glanced at this guy with some displeasure, damn it, in the public, if I said no, the good image I maintained just now is not enough. I know what you people will say.

"Who is this dear friend?" Li Cong said a little puzzled, he seemed to have nothing to do with this kid, and he didn't know him, so he just said that?

"Hehe, it's no wonder you don't know him. He's the consort of the empire, and he's on the same level as you. This guy is a ninth-level archer and has the reputation of being the number one archer in Tiannan." Embarrassed, Li Cong's senior brother who came from the Northern Empire quickly exhibited and said, although he was not happy with this guy talking to Li Cong like that, but after all, this is a matter between the two empires, and the master also explained it when he came. What is wrong needs good help.

"It turns out to be the number one magic arrow. It's really powerful. My younger brother admires you archers the most. As you said, most of the magic arrows are consigned to me by magicians, and I can't make decisions for them. , but everyone is for the elimination of the black potion master, everything can be discussed, we have time to talk about it in detail some other day." The senior brother has already come forward, Li Cong naturally has to give face, and see the senior brother It looks like this guy has a background. Li never told the matter to death. Naturally, such a business cannot be discussed at the gate of the palace. There are many archers here. If these things are offered at a discount, other The people in this group must also be given this discount. The loss before and after this is not a little bit, and the loss will be huge by then.

You must know that these ninth-level archers consume the most magic arrows. If they are in the Warcraft Mountains, they may have dozens of them every day. Even in normal times, they will adapt to all kinds of magic arrows. Low-level archers There is nothing compared to them. Now they are all looking at the mixed magic arrows from Li Cong. Most of them are mixed magic arrows of ice and fire. The price of such magic arrows in Li Cong's shop It is as high as 5.5 million taels of silver. If they control it well, one can kill a seventh-level monster. For these advanced archers, it is simply a huge benefit, and the consumption is also huge. If they want to get 7 million taels of silver, their daily expenses of hundreds of millions are a bit too much, so let's talk to Li Cong.

"What's there to discuss about this matter? I'm going to buy 500 pieces. I wonder what price Mr. Cao can give me?" The kid said with a smile, not giving Li Cong a chance to avoid it at all. People are really rare, even Li Cong's senior brothers are a little uncomfortable at this time. Damn, my senior brother has already given you a lot of face, and I have already said that I want to go back and talk about this matter. Why don't you know yourself? A few catties and a few taels have to have one result.

Li Cong has always been a person who respects me a foot and I respect you a foot, but if you deceive others too much, then don't blame me for being sorry for you.

"It's not that I don't care about business matters. I remember that the price has increased to 7 million taels of silver. I think it's 1 million taels cheaper for you. After all, what you want But there are many." Li Cong said, without a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very serious, after all, Li Cong said first, he didn't know much about business affairs, and everyone understood this. The business of Cao’s House is so big, who would know the price of one of the products? Other fighters are not very familiar with the price of magic arrows. They understand that it’s 1 million taels cheaper at once, and 500 is 500 million. Two silvers, this is definitely not a small amount, and everyone feels that Li Cong really gave this kid a lot of face, but the other archers don't think so. Is this Li Cong just dumping people? price. But in most areas, it can still be bought for 5.5 million taels of silver. But after thinking about the things inside carefully, it seems that Li Cong hates the No. 1 Arrow in Tiannan, and the No. 1 Arrow in Tiannan also showed a not-so-good expression on his face, as did the other archers. Discussed with this kid. But seeing Li Cong's face. They still don't show up. Can't do it.

The No. 1 Divine Arrow in Tiannan is just a name, imperial son-in-law? There are hundreds of son-in-laws in the empire, isn't it because this kid has some skills in his hands. But the archer profession has not been looked down upon by many people, magicians simply look down on them, and some fighters sometimes look down on them.

Li Cong didn't wait for this guy to finish before he finished speaking, and he left with his senior brothers. This guy is really annoying, and he really doesn't want to talk to him. Li Cong is in the limelight now. Several archers have made an appointment with this No. 1 Arrow in Tiannan to talk to Li Cong about this matter together, but seeing that this guy is deflated, it is hard to move forward. These people all want to be themselves If it was Li Cong, he might not agree. After all, he has already suffered a lot from the attack on the black magic pharmacist this time. If he is asked to pay so much, he will probably be dissatisfied with anyone else.

Li Cong's Warcraft Legion found a military camp outside the city and placed them there. Li Cong's servants bought thousands of live sheep and pigs from some nearby markets and drove them away. They don't eat dead meat, and now they start eating like tigers and wolves. It's okay for them to go without food for a long time, and they will be full after eating once. The beef and mutton sellers around the capital of the Western Empire are terrible. It's considered rich, and I can't wait to see Li Cong's servants quickly every day. Usually, they can't sell so many things in a year. This is an opportunity given by God. They don't even talk about the price. I just said that it’s fine if there are no sick ones, and it’s best if they are alive and kicking. We absolutely have to satisfy them with this requirement. Besides, we all know that these things are eaten by monsters. If they know that they give them sick animals, This has to eat myself, so these people are the best things to send over.

Li Cong, his brothers, and the magicians from the Northern Empire all went to the residence arranged by the Western Empire Magicians Union. Li Cong lived in the official residence of an official in the past. He retired from the capital. After returning home, it was bought by the Magician Union to entertain VIPs. Just now, when a few people from the Western Empire Magician Union came to visit Li Cong, they knew that Li Cong had not yet had a residence in the capital, so they gave it to Li Cong. Li Cong, although this house in the capital city where every inch of land is expensive, is a great thing, but in the eyes of these magicians, Li Cong deserves this gift, no, Li Cong and Dai Lin are strolling around the house Check it out.

"Hehe, to be honest, I also have a lot of research on these places, and my family is considered rich, but I still feel a little bit spectator when I see this kind of house. Generally speaking, the whole house has the largest land Expenditures, but I think the biggest expenditure of this house is the things in this house." Dai Lin said with some envy, such a house cannot be bought with hundreds of millions of billions of silver, everything in this house Nothing is simple.

"Hehe, just kidding, the Magician's Guild has always been the richest organization. If their actions are very stingy, where will this face be spread in the future? Besides, the Western Empire and the Northern Empire's Magician's Guild They have always stood together, and they still have to fight against the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire's magician's union. Aren't many people saying that I am the next chairman of the Northern Empire's magician's union? What's wrong with sending such a house? "Li Cong said with a smile, Dai Lin also made the same sense when he heard it, anyway, people have sent it for nothing, and if it is really not used, it seems that he is a little ignorant.

"Look at these two pairs of porcelain vases, my dear. These are from the Jinghua period. It is more than seven hundred years since this time. It is really good that such workmanship is so well preserved. I dare say that if these two things If you get it from the auction house, 5 million taels of silver is no problem." The two walked to a room at the back and said, there were two valuable things that Dai Lin said were placed at the door, and they looked very special. That's right, Li Cong has no interest in these antiques. Can this thing be worth 5 million taels of silver? Things that can’t be eaten or drunk, that is, they are of such value in peaceful times. If there is a war, it is probably not as valuable as a little steamed bun. Seeing the light in Dai Lin’s eyes, Li Cong knew that this thing must belong to him. Just now I have to own several things. This kid loves this very much. He always takes out his uncle's airs and tells himself that this thing should be taken away and that thing should be taken away. Anyway, he doesn't know how to look at it.

"This thing is just in case. If you like it, you can just take it. I have no interest in this at all." Li Cong said.

"Hey, I really want to take it, but I have taken a lot of your things recently, so forget it, don't want it, if you want too much, I think that girl Manjia will come to me to settle the score , By the way, didn’t you tell him to buy iron ore with Yang Qiu in the eastern part of the Northern Empire? Is there any news?” Suddenly thinking of his niece, Dai Lin asked, Lu Manjia and Yang Qiu Qiu and the wives in the family are different, these two girls have too many adventures, "It seems to be very good, with the help of the Yang family over there, besides, our money is also good Yes, they are not fools, they can take advantage of the right time and place, and they will definitely be able to do good things." Li never wanted to tell Dai Lin too much about his Northern Empire, and the managers below had to have Where they are in charge, Li Cong feels a little uncomfortable beyond this limit. Whatever he asks you to do, you just do what you want, and you don't need to know too much about the rest.

Dai Lin didn't say anything, he also felt that Li Cong treated him differently during this period of time, as if he was not as caring as before. It's no wonder that people in positions of power seldom trust others. (To be continued..)
