Chapter 371 Dark Wave
Qi State is provoking a war, but Anyang is not quiet either!
Last night, the battle in Qingyun Valley and the sound of shell explosions were clearly heard in Anyang City. To be precise, Anyang City now includes more than 20 kilometers of suburbs, Qingyun Valley has been swallowed by Anyang City.
In short, you heard about the battle last night. So early in the morning, the streets and alleys, inside and outside the city.
The battles that took place in Qingyun Valley, you can understand what happened with your knees. In fact, the battles that took place in Qingyun Valley were endless, but this time it seemed to be even more violent, and even the artillery was used. Even the explosion of fireworks can be seen near Qingyun Valley.
Not only the people in Anyang are waiting to watch the fun, but also the business travelers from all over the country, as well as representatives of states who have not taken action, cultivation organizations, etc.
For example, Jidao Sect did not take action. To be precise, Jidao Sect lives in the garrison of the "Mo Feitian Mercenary Group"; and Mo Feitian Mercenary Group is also one of the peripheral forces of Jidao Sect.
Although Wen Xiaowei was just the young sect leader, he did not act jealously last night. Feng Buying's incident a few days ago made Wen Xiaowei personally feel the loose outside and tight inside.
Although there are no city walls in Anyang and no army or other swimming on the streets, Anyang is by no means "open, free, and has no ability to resist" on the surface. On the contrary, since Anyang dares to hold a cultivation conference, he must have absolute preparation, defense, etc.
Sure enough, after dawn, the well-informed Mo Feitian Mercenary Group came with a rough news. The news was relatively vague. Anyang has always kept the situation in Qingyun Valley secret, and there is very little that the outside world can know. However, by visiting the surrounding residents, some rough information can be known.
For example, there were at least 25 explosions last night, and Li Xian's voice was heard at the scene - there should be four masters in the God Transformation Stage. In addition to the masters in the God Transformation Stage, the remaining masters in the Nascent Soul stage basically only the Nascent Soul escaped and the body died.
"You can discover the masters of the God Transformation Stage, and let none of the Nascent Soul Stage masters run away intact... Anyang's water is very deep!" The elder of the Jidao Sect, Chi Mo, was thinking. "Natural Soul Stage masters are not Yi and you can give up your body and your Nascent Soul is out of your shell. The battle at that time must be very fierce."
Wen Xiaowei was silent. As the young leader of the Jidao Sect, Wen Xiaowei knew too many things. For example, the "Nin Xiang" of the Nascent Soul Stage master has just taken shape and is not very stable. Once he leaves the body, it will slowly dissipate. Moreover, the fragile Nascent Soul has no way to practice like the body, absorb spiritual energy, and can only rely on external forces to protect it.
But the method of keeping the Nascent Soul is very expensive - special elixirs, spiritual medicines, and even just stay in an environment with abundant spiritual energy.
There are three choices for the Nascent Soul who leaves the body: first, to become a cultivator of the scattered immortals; second, to seize the body; third, to reincarnate the secret method.
To transfer to the cultivation of the Sanxian, you need a lot of resources; in this era, if you want to protect the Nascent Soul practice until you become a Sanxian, the Jidao Sect cannot afford the consumption. Moreover, every time you advance, you have to overcome tribulation, such as heavenly thunder, evil spirits, harsh wind, yin wind, heavenly fire, yin fire, karma fire, etc., tangible and invisible disasters are continuous, and it is basically a dead end.
The consequences of taking over the body are mostly limited to the cultivation of the body during the body, and the inner demons are plagued by resentment; occasionally they will encounter justice or be surrounded by relatives and friends. Some people even hunt such Nascent Souls openly as pills and practice materials.
The secret method is to burn the cultivation of this life before the Nascent Soul dissipates, and to turn it into protection to protect the soul. This will make the qualifications in the next life better and even have some memories of the previous life. But the success rate... forget it, I won’t talk about it.
In a word, although the Nascent Soul master of the Nascent Soul stage can escape, it is almost an alternative "drinking poison to quench thirst". Once the flesh and body die, the Nascent Soul will soon decline.
If the Nascent Soul master can abandon his body and escape from the Nascent Soul, the battle will inevitably be very tragic!
After a while of silence, Wen Xiaowei suddenly looked up, "Uncle Master, didn't Li Xian say he would meet the four masters in the God Transformation Stage today? How about we go to watch the fun?"
"Go to the hair!" Chimo Zhenren snorted coldly, "No one will go to Anyang Mansion today. Whoever goes to is a fool!"
"Why?"
"Today I went to Anyang Mansion and told Li Xian clearly that some of us went to Qingyun Valley last night. Do you think Li Xian would write these people, countries, sects and others on the blacklist? I stayed honestly today and didn't have to go anywhere.
In fact, I guess no one will go to the Anyang City Lord’s Mansion today!”
"So that's it!" Wen Xiaowei nodded and suddenly stood up, "Uncle Master, we don't have to stay honestly. This matter has nothing to do with us. We will continue shopping today!"
…………
The Chimo Zhenren said it well, but the reality is always a bit wonderful. Li Xian didn’t make any preparations at all, but someone really came!
It’s no one else, it’s Lu Qiyuan, the prince of Lu State!
When Li Xian received this message, he was extremely surprised. Someone was coming; but since someone was coming, of course he had to meet him.
After sitting down, before Li Xian spoke, Lu Qiyuan went straight to the point, "King Xian, I have been in Anyang for a long time and finally made a decision. I would like to ask, is it feasible if I come to Anyang to do business?"
"What?" Li Xian's eyes widened. You, a prince, want to be the emperor in the future, are you going to Anyang to do business?
But then Li Xian's eyes lit up. It's great. If a prince could come to Anyang to do business and hype it up, it would be a perfect advertisement: Look, even the prince is going to come to Anyang to do business, and he won't be the emperor!
After a lot of thoughts in his mind, Li Xian made a decision, "Welcome, Anyang opens his arms to welcome anyone to come and develop. As long as you abide by Anyang's laws, it is enough!"
But Lu Qiyuan was also the prince, and came to find Li Xian in person, not only to confirm Li Xian's words, but also to get some benefits. "Xian Wang, I have turned down the position of the prince and came here to do business. Don't you have any indication?"
Li Xian smiled, "No, no, no, you want to express your intention to go to the newspaper. As long as you make your affairs public, you will get a lot of partners.
As for the Anyang City Lord’s Mansion, we actually do not interfere in business. We only care about politics, industry and commerce, and the specific implementation of industry and commerce, we temporarily adopt the ‘free market’ strategy.
The so-called free market strategy means that the government is only responsible for a little guidance, or even completely let go, private industry and commerce are completely free to develop, and the government does not impose any restrictions."
"I dare ask, why is this?"
Li Xian waved his hand and asked the maid next to him to pour tea, and said slowly: "New things are very fragile. At this time, what I can do is to give enough growth space, give enough tolerance, and point out the direction. The government should not interfere too much before industry and commerce has completely stabilized.
Our only interference with industry and commerce now is nothing more than the laws on industry and commerce. It’s amazing to add a ‘bank’, but the bank is in an auxiliary position.”
"So that's it. Then what should I do if I want the newspaper to expose it? Please give me some advice."
"It's simple. You can buy a certain section of the newspaper and become your promotional position and promotional window. Hold a few more press conferences to announce that you have given up your position as the prince, specialize in doing business, and have the connections of Lu Guo, etc. As long as you do this, your business group will rise quickly.
In short, it's just two words: hype."
"that's all?"
"Yes, that's it! There are not many mystery in business matters. As long as you can hype and keep your trust, it's enough."
Lu Qiyuan thought for a long time and finally nodded, "Thank you for your guidance. But there is still a little thing to ask about. I saw Anyang publish all his military guiding ideology for sale. Why is this?"
Li Xian smiled as if the "Holy Mother" possessed him, "All knowledge is the most precious wealth of the human race, and Anyang will do as much as possible..."
"Ahem, wise king, I am also the prince. How about let's say something real?"
Li Xian smiled, smiling happily: "No, no, no, you have a simple and profound conversation. Why should I say this?"
Lu Qiyuan's eyes turned, and he stood up and clasped his fists: "I wonder if my brother Tai's name is Gao, my younger brother Lu Qiyuan, I'm lucky to meet my brother Tai today, so I'm lucky to have three lives."
Li Xian suddenly got a bump in his body, "Okay, okay, I said it's not OK."
Lu Qiyuan did not give up and asked: "Is it convenient for me to inform Daming?"
When Li Xian saw this, he suddenly felt a little admiring and funny in his heart. Finally, he stood up: "Let Li Xian beside him."
Lu Qiyuan laughed, "Now we know each other, it's time to talk about it."
"You really do whatever you want. OK OK, okay, I said it's okay?" Li Xian sat down, thought for a while before continuing: "Speaking of this, this is also a care for many countries that have just been exposed to arms. In this way, Yingzhou East can try its best to maintain the original fair environment, which is also an alternative protection for peace by Anyang.
Of course, this is just the first layer of meaning.
A deeper level is Anyang's industry and commerce. There is no difference in the strategic ideas of each country, so the only thing that can affect the war is arms. In this way, Anyang, the largest and most excellent export area of arms, will naturally make profits from it.
To put it bluntly, Anyang is still for business.”
"So that's the case, I thought there was a conspiracy. After all, Anyang still recognizes money but not people."
"You can think so, and I sincerely hope that everyone will view Anyang this way."
When Lu Qiyuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "If you use this to hide Anyang's ambition?"
"Anyang's ambitions don't need to be covered up!" Li Xian smiled brilliantly, "It is an open secret of Anyang to travel around the world and use commercial means to gather luck!"
"Uh..." Lu Qiyuan was stunned. After thinking about it, what Li Xian said was really like. Publicizing these combat ideas is a good fairness for countries that have just been exposed to the technology of arms, and Anyang has never concealed its ambition to "trade the world".
But why do you always think that this is just superficial information? But no one will tell his most core secret, and it is already very good that Li Xian can say this.
After saying goodbye to Li Xian, after Lu Qiyuan left the Anyang City Lord's Mansion, he stood on the street, looking at the road that was flowing like water, looking at the towering buildings, looking at the building that was still under construction in the distance, looking at the black dots flying in the distance, suddenly he felt a little confused, worried, and there was also an indescribable hope!
The black spots flying were a large number of civilian aircraft; Anyang finally opened air routes in several surrounding areas; currently they are all propeller aircraft, but the largest propeller passenger aircraft can carry 50 people and have a maximum load of about 15 tons.
With the assistance of practice and formations, technology exploded with unprecedented vitality, and even Li Xian was a little shocked. Once he passed the initial technical accumulation and technical research, there would be explosive development in the future.
As for the various emotions in Lu Qiyuan's heart, they were naturally influenced by this new development method.
The vitality shown in Anyang and the potential shown in industry and commerce have greatly affected the development of Yingzhou East. The Cultivation Conference is an opportunity. I don’t know how many people came to Anyang. The books here in Anyang, regardless of the collection of cultivation, law, or joint newspapers, etc., are almost all the publications sold out.
Before we knew it, Anyang had transformed from the birthplace of industry and commerce to the "holy land" of industry and commerce and ideological enlightenment.
But this change has greatly influenced Yingzhou's balance. The shadow is intensifying!
(Please vote for votes, I have been a big seal these days, so it’s good to have fun.)
