Now there are more than 10,000 pieces of forged plate armor in the entire realm. In the next few days, as the forging workshop adjusted its direction, it began to produce a large number of agricultural tools and various tools. The speed of cultivating fields, logging and building cities in the realm was as fast as
Significantly improved.
Finally, the young men finished sowing the newly planted 100,000 acres. Wei Yuan looked at the ground full of life and the seeds began to germinate, feeling extremely at ease.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart. A strange motorcade was approaching the realm.
This convoy consists of more than a dozen trucks, but there are only more than a hundred people including the driver and the escort. The escorts are all capable, and they are not ordinary monks.
Several realm monks rode out on horseback and stopped the convoy. A middle-aged man walked out of the convoy and said: "We are the Six Realms Chamber of Commerce. We are here specifically to open up trade routes. We hope to pass on the realm master."
After a while, the caravan was led to camp in an open area outside Yong'an City, and Wei Yuan and Cui Yu hurried over.
The two parties sat down in the temporary tent. The middle-aged man called two girls in, set out the table and tea sets, and prepared tea. With a glance, Wei Yuan knew that these two girls were also Taoist monks, but they were hidden.
It's so good that most people can't even see it.
As soon as the tea was in his mouth, Cui Yu praised: "Good tea!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This cup of 'empty blue water', one cup can be used for a month of practice. I can only have this cup. I wonder how the world master feels?"
Wei Yuan looked calm and noncommittal, just nodded and said: "It's okay."
The middle-aged man's heart trembled, and he felt that Wei Yuan had indeed seen the world, and this cup of tea could not win his favor.
In fact, Wei Yuan thought the tea tasted okay, but the spiritual energy provided was too little. It saved Wei Yuan half an hour of hard work, which was better than nothing.
The middle-aged man said: "We are an exploration caravan under the Six Realms Chamber of Commerce. I am Xu Su, the manager of this caravan. We are here to establish a trade route to and from the realm, and we will prepare to build more trade routes in the realm in the future.
Open a semicolon, I hope the world leader can make it easier."
Wei Yuan remained calm, but he was a little surprised. Yuan Qingyan sealed the surrounding area like an iron barrel, how could this caravan still come in?
Cui Yu then asked: "The main roads in the south and east are blocked. I wonder how you got here?"
Xu Su smiled slightly and said: "We are an exploratory caravan, not an ordinary caravan. Blockade, haha, how about placing a military fortress a few hundred miles away? In our eyes, this type of blockade is full of loopholes. As long as there is no Dharma Master sitting in charge,
Naturally, I can pass through without anyone noticing. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Yuan for the blockade. If it hadn't been for him, I might have faced competition from many peers, and we wouldn't be the only ones here now."
Wei Yuan said: "I don't know anything about the Six Realms Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if Mr. Xu can tell us about it."
"Our Six Realms Chamber of Commerce is headquartered in the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, and is one of the two largest chambers of commerce in the Zhao Kingdom. We mainly deal in a large number of basic supplies, and we also deal in military supplies. If the realm owners have needs for special treasures, we can also discuss them in detail.
As for our strength, we can bring this caravan here intact, I think there is nothing to prove."
Wei Yuan said: "Your truck looks very special."
"The exploration caravans use specially designed trucks. There are magic formations on the vehicles, which can reduce the weight of the goods by 70%. When necessary, two Daoji monks can activate the formations and fly a hundred feet for a short time. With this kind of
Only with trucks can we have the confidence to cross mountains and ridges."
Wei Yuan said: "So what did you bring this time and what do you plan to buy?"
Xu Su smiled and said: "I heard that the Realm Lord had just established Qingming, but he was not liked by the Western Jin Dynasty. So this time we brought some meeting gifts, all for the Realm Lord, to represent the sincerity of our Chamber of Commerce. This is
Checklist."
Wei Yuan took the jade paper and scanned it with his consciousness. There were a large number of grain seeds, fabrics, and medicinal materials on the list. Although the quantity was not too large, the categories were complete, and many of them were specially suitable for planting in humid environments.
It is something Wei Yuan urgently needs.
This is a mortal thing, and the cultivation resources also bring some medicinal seedlings and medicinal seeds, about fifty or sixty kinds. In time, the various primary cultivation elixir realms will be self-sufficient.
Finally, Xu Su ordered someone to bring a heavily sealed box. After opening it, there were seven saplings about a foot long, all green and green, with strong spiritual energy. At first glance, they were no ordinary spiritual plants.
"These are seven saplings with empty blue water. When grown, each tree can harvest three taels of empty blue water every year, which is the tea we just drank."
Wei Yuan was finally moved, took the box and examined it himself, and finally confirmed that these tea saplings were all top-grade spiritual plants, only slightly inferior to the ruby ​​lanterns, but of the same grade.
Seeing that Wei Yuan liked it, Xu Su smiled and said: "I wonder if the Realm Master still likes this meeting gift?"
Wei Yuan said: "The gift is too heavy, I feel ashamed to receive it."
This meeting gift is worth ten thousand taels of immortal silver, enough to support ninety new disciples of Taichu Palace for a year. The seven tea seedlings alone are worth more than eight thousand taels.
Xu Su smiled and said: "This meeting gift is just a promise from the realm master."
"What kind of commitment?"
"The preferential treatment that the Realm Lord will give to other chambers of commerce in the future cannot be better than that of our Sixth Realm Chamber of Commerce. If there are indeed more preferential treatment, then whatever conditions the Realm Lord gives to others must also be given to us."
Wei Yuan immediately shook his head: "I can't promise you this. I won't accept the meeting gift. Please take it back, Mr. Xu."
Xu Su was immediately stunned and said: "World Lord, our conditions are not excessive, we just have to be the same as others."
Wei Yuan said calmly: "If you want to settle things once and for all, forever, this alone is far from enough, and I don't intend to make such a promise. I'm very happy that you can come, sir. I can press the goods on the car."
I’ll buy it at market price. If we have anything here that Mr. Fancy likes, we can take it away.”
Xu Su gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Realm Lord refuses to agree, then this proposal will be dropped. We want to open a semicolon here in the future. What do we think of the Realm?"
Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Of course you can! And I have already chosen the place for you. If Mr. Xu has nothing to do, you can go see it right away and pick out the land you like first."
Xu Su looked serious and said, "I wonder how much the deed tax here is. Is it the same as in the Western Jin Dynasty?"
This is a very critical issue. The Western Jin Dynasty's commercial tax collection value is 30%, and there are many domestic checkpoints, many of which are exploited. Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "Just hand over 20%."
"Twenty percent of the income? That's okay..." Xu Su nodded. They traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to transport goods and had to pass through numerous blockades. In fact, it cost a lot of money. This tax ratio is no longer light, but it is still acceptable.
However, Wei Yuan said: "No, it's 20% of the net profit you earned."
Xu Su was shocked, stood up and said, "Are you serious about these words?"
"That's it." Wei Yuan said.
After receiving confirmation from Wei Yuan, Xu Su was instantly overjoyed. The difference between 20% of income and 20% of net profit was not even a tiny bit, it might be seven to eight times or even ten times worse! With this, the difference between what he promised just now and what he promised has changed.
It's not important anymore.
He immediately said: "Okay! The world lord is so generous. I will report it to the big shopkeeper after I return. The Six Realms Chamber of Commerce will definitely support the world lord!"
At this time, Cui Yu suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, your chamber of commerce can be the first to arrive here. Not to mention its strength, it shouldn't just do normal business, right?"
Xu Su smiled and said: "This should be Cui Yu and Cui Shaoxian. People from high-ranking families have different perspectives. Yes, we do do some gray business, it depends on what the world leader wants."
Wei Yuan said: "What if I want someone to die?"
Xu Su was startled, then smiled and said: "Most people have a price. It depends on how much the world owner wants to pay and who he wants to die."
Wei Yuan said: "The governor of Ningxi, the family members of Yuan Qingyan, are limited to direct children."
Xu Su frowned and said: "It concerns the real person of Fa Xiang and the county guard. This..."
Wei Yuan said calmly: "Why are you afraid of a mere Dharma minister who has no way forward?"
Xu Su gritted his teeth and said: "Our Chamber of Commerce has never done this kind of thing before. According to the official system of the Western Jin Dynasty, the families of high-ranking officials who are sent to foreign lands must live within a hundred miles of the Jin capital. I will report it when I return.
It’s just that the price… I’m afraid it won’t be too cheap.”
Wei Yuan's expression softened slightly and he said, "Do I need to pay in advance?"
"No! We believe in the credibility of the realm owner. After this is completed, we will give you a price. You can also pay the immortal silver at that time, or you can deduct it from the taxes we should pay in the future. I don't know if the realm owner will pay you back.
What are your requirements?"
"Two small things. One is to put a mask on the scene after this is done. Any kind of mask will do. The other is that the children don't have to be killed. Their memories are wiped and sent to the south. Find them an ordinary farmer's family, poor.
Just live your life."
"This matter is easy to handle. The south is mountainous, and many Li villages in the mountainous areas have no contact with the outside world. Once they are sent to the village, they may not be able to travel fifty miles in this life."
"Very good. Now I'll take Mr. Xu to see the land."
At this time, the area planned in the realm was not around the main hall where Qing Ming was placed, but moved to Yong'an City. Xu Su went back to the caravan to get the Feng Shui array measuring tools. Wei Yuan and Cui Yu were waiting outside.
While waiting, Cui Yu asked: "Why do you suddenly plan to attack Yuan Qingyan's family members?"
Wei Yuan said: "He is using a plan to wipe out every household. If he really succeeds, there will be starvation and death everywhere in the realm. For this one thing, it is not an exaggeration to wipe out his whole family! It does not mean that just because his plan did not succeed,
I feel that he has done no evil. If this is an opportunity, I will play a trick and collect some interest first. But maybe the children may not have much weight in his heart, and they may be worth nothing."
Cui Yu frowned and said: "There is always an unwritten rule in the court that misfortune does not harm the family, and the crime will be eliminated by death. If you do this, I am afraid you will violate a taboo."
"That's because the hatred is not deep enough. What kind of harm can't be done to the family, the crime of death is eliminated, the disputes in the temple are widely implicated, and there are not enough murders in the wild? Da Tang alone is a major case that has implicated more than 100,000 people in the past three hundred years.
Nine times. The reason why these rules are unwritten is because they cannot be stated clearly and are not reliable at all."
Wei Yuan paused and then said: "Yuan Qingyan is called a mad dog, but he is not really crazy. I touch his family, firstly, to see if he is afraid or not; secondly, to let him know that the only bottom line for me is that I have no bottom line.
.”
Cui Yu sighed: "You are going to achieve great things in the future, and your reputation is also very important. Yuan Qingyan will definitely mobilize a group of officials, and the scolding will be very unpleasant, and your reputation will be ruined."
Wei Yuan laughed and said: "Don't worry about your reputation! If one day we have a large army and dominate the world, when we enter the pass, there will be a great scholar who will debate the scriptures for me."
