Age of mythical princes

Chapter 277

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it will be 50 years of Baijia.

On a vast plain, Yuan Zhen is working hard on today's work.

Yuan Zhen is a Qi trainer and a real person.He was originally just a savage, but by chance, he was discovered and trained by Zhao Yang, and later sent to Luoyang Academy to study.

When he came back from school, Yuan Zhen was already a Taoist priest.

Later, Yuanzhen has been serving the Zhao family for more than 6000 years.

About 4000 years ago, Yuan Zhen followed the law of nature and became a real person smoothly.However, in order to repay Zhao Yang's kindness to him, Yuan Zhen has stayed in the Zhao family's territory to serve the Zhao family all these years.

On the other hand, Zhao Yang provided Yuan Zhen with various goods and a large amount of resources.Without Zhao Yang's cultivation and without the large amount of valuable resources provided by Zhao Yang, Yuan Zhen could not have become a real person.

This kind of life has always been very good, and Yuan Zhen also thinks it is very good.Zhao will provide sufficient resources for each experiment.And I can also do experiments and observe the world with peace of mind.

Until 50 years ago, when Yancheng journals spread all over the world, Yuan Zhen was happy at the beginning, because there was a place to discuss the Tao, Yuan Zhen even wrote letters to the top journals and published own latest achievement.

Yellow-level periodicals can be bought everywhere, and sold all over the world, as long as you have money.

It is a bit difficult to purchase a mysterious periodical.

The prefecture-level periodicals are no longer paper, but pieces of magical instruments, in which the contents of the prefecture-level periodicals are preserved.

As for the heaven-level periodicals, each heaven-level periodical is a magic weapon, or a special magic weapon for recording information. It is said that it was specially researched by the Yancheng Academy. You evolve.

Sky-level periodicals have always been very expensive, and the production cost is relatively high, so not everyone can buy sky-level periodicals.Generally speaking, except for the allies in Yancheng, only those who have published articles on the heaven-level journals can buy it.

At the beginning, Yuan Zhen was really happy. At that time, he felt that people's future was bright, and when he was reading periodicals, he often praised Jiang Hua, saying that he did a great job.

At that time, when Yuan Zhen commented on the articles in the Tian-level periodicals, the most common sentence he said was: "This article is really good. Although it is just an idea, it has saved me at least ten years of hard work. If I am alone, I may It took ten years to figure out this problem, but at this moment, just one article inspired me and saved me at least ten years."

"The quality of this issue of the journal is not good. All together, it only inspires me once, and saves me five years at most! Who is the editor-in-chief of this issue? Write him a bad review."

"This issue of the journal is good. The old man unexpectedly had an epiphany once, which gave the old man six inspirations. Adding up the front and back, it saved the old man at least 100 years."

If Yuan Zhen does the calculations, he will find that the 1000 issues of the sky-level journals so far, added together, have saved him at least [-] years of time.

It is generally difficult to improve the cultivation level of real people.However, relying on the mutual exchanges in these journals, Yuanzhen has made progress in 50 years that can only be achieved in about 500 to 800 years of hard work.

So, speaking from the bottom of my heart, Yuan Zhen is very grateful to Jiang Hua.

To be precise, from a personal point of view, Yuan Zhen is very grateful to Jiang Hua.

From other perspectives, Yuan Zhen hated Jiang Hua a little bit.

His research is often in vain because of Jiang Hua, and often in vain because of Yancheng.For example, at this moment, Yuan Zhen is researching Lingmi.

The importance of Lingmi is clear to almost anyone with a brain.

However, Yancheng has gradually occupied the bulk of the Lingmi market through a series of means such as advanced fine seeds, advanced soil treasures, and advanced planting methods.

In the past, Lingmi seldom went abroad. It was a strategic material, and the Lingmi in the country was digested in the country.

Eating Lingmi and drinking Lingquan every day, and then sending them to Yancheng Academy to study hard for ten years, the probability of birthing mana can be as high as 90.00%.

But if it is replaced by a full meal, and then sent to Yancheng Academy to study hard, the probability of birthing mana is only 20.00%.For the rest, either eat a foundation-building pill to help him generate mana, or do not use the proper method and become an ordinary person.

Yancheng also needs ordinary people!
This is also a matter of no choice. A monk can list seventy or eighty kinds of advantages at random, but the disadvantage of a monk is also obvious, that is, weak fertility.

These days, there are not a few Qi refiners who are single until they die.

Many qi refiners, who became alchemists, wanted to marry an alchemist wife.

However, the number of female alchemists accounted for less than half of the total number of alchemists.

And many female alchemists would rather become concubines and concubines of warlocks and Taoists than marry poor male alchemists.

Many male poor alchemists will marry mortal women only after accepting the reality.

This is quite obvious in the past.

Alchemists and alchemists are married, and the childbearing period is generally ten months, but many alchemists are unwilling to have children, or they are unwilling to have too many children.

The reason for this is very complicated, and I can't explain a few sentences clearly, but the reality is that the speed at which monks give birth to children is far from being comparable to that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people have a generation in 20 years. If they live well, they can have three or four or even five or six children in each generation.Such a birth rate is unmatched by monks.

With such a birth rate, a large grassroots population can be provided.

With a large grassroots population, more alchemists can be trained.

As long as the country can afford it, there will always be more alchemists in the next generation than in the previous generation, and there will be more warlocks in the next generation than the previous generation. The same goes for Taoist priests and Taoist priests.

Even in the extraordinary world, a large population is still a symbol of a strong country.

Therefore, Lingmi has always been a strategic material, the kind that is prohibited from being exported.Of course, the nobles can ignore the laws of the country and smuggle at will, which is also the unspoken rule of the countries.After all, the rules are formulated for the purpose of agreeing with the subordinates, not to restrain the superiors.

As for being a master, you have to use Zhou etiquette, which means that you can't be a doctor if you are punished, and it means that everyone is a decent person.

However, the emergence of Yancheng broke this point.

In the past, smuggling of fine iron was strictly prohibited.

But now, the price of refined iron all over the world has dropped from a hundred yuan a tael in the past to thirty yuan a tael.

Mainly Yancheng's production and living magic tools, which are sold everywhere.

Many large-scale iron smelting artifacts, just put the ore in, and iron ingots made of refined iron will automatically come out one after another. The whole process is a fool's operation, so convenient.

When iron ore is needed, slaves are used to dig it. If there are too many slaves dead, it is not enough, so go to the wild to catch savages. What's the big deal?
Ever since this fool-like large-scale iron smelting artifact was available, the price of refined iron in the world has been continuously decreasing.

Lingmi is also Yancheng's flagship product today.

Lingmi in Yancheng undergoes a replacement almost every year.

Today's Yancheng Lingmi is divided into many types according to the category.

The most widely sold ones are the ones in front of you. As long as you have spiritual energy, enough earth treasures and water, you can harvest them like leeks.

However, this is just an external statement.In fact, after the first crop is cut, some special secret recipes are definitely needed. Use some unknown things to treat these Lingmi rhizomes. After the treatment, use other secret recipes, even the spiritual energy. Only in this way can the second crop grow.

It is said that today's Yancheng has been able to harvest seven stubbles in a row.

Therefore, although the land area of ​​Yancheng is not large enough, the Lingmi of Yancheng has gradually become a high-profile product. This is a temptation that no prince or noble can refuse.

No one will refuse Lingmi!

And Yuan Zhen's task is to study this kind of Lingmi carefully, how to deal with it between the second crop and the third crop.

As for how to deal with the problem between the first crop and the second crop, it has been resolved.

But the problem in front of him made Yuan Zhen pull his hair, it was too difficult.

After researching and studying, the little disciple ran over and shouted as he ran, "Master, the Lord invites you to come over."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

Many times in the past, Zhao Yang called him to come over like this.After passing by, tell him that the research in front of him can be stopped first, blah blah blah...

As for the reason, sometimes it is because Yancheng announced the secret.

For example, the formula between the first crop and the second crop of Lingmi was announced by Yancheng on its own initiative.

At that time, in order to research out the relevant formula, Yuan Zhen took several Taoist priests and dozens of Taoist priests to study it day and night for five or six years. As a result, when a breakthrough was about to be made, Yancheng suddenly announced the relevant formula, and even began to make it public The recipe is sold.

Not only the formula related to Lingmi, but also many other key technologies.

Whenever someone is about to make a breakthrough, or has just made a breakthrough, Yancheng immediately announces a big price cut or simply announces the formula directly, in the name of benefiting the public and the well-being of the world.

This kind of thing happened to Yuan Zhen twice, the first time he just felt that he was unlucky, and didn't think it was Yancheng's routine.But the second time, Yuanzhen was so angry that he didn't eat for three days.As for now, Yuan Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling, this might be the third time!
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen couldn't help but scolded: ************
After Yuan Zhen spoke, the other disciples were taken aback for a moment, then they came to their senses, and then scolded them together.

However, life will go on after scolding, Yuan Zhen went to Zhao Yang's mansion a little dejected when thinking of this.

"Master, the subject is here."

The lord that Yuan Zhen talked about was Zhao Yang. He was a tall and handsome man. Sitting here made people feel good about him.However, only a few people can see Zhao Yang's smile. In the eyes of most people, Zhao Yang is a serious and unsmiling person.

"Yuanzhen, please read this news first."

Yuan Zhen took the Yancheng official newspaper handed over by Zhao Yang, looked at the headline, and couldn't bear the anger: "Hehe, it's really nice to say, Yancheng has taken the initiative to disclose the second to the first in order to benefit the people of the world. The general principle between the three crops, and then only need to spend [-] million yuan, you can permanently obtain the relevant principle..."

"It's like this again!"

"It's like this again!"

"Back then, in order to study the secrets between the first batch and the second batch, countless manpower and material resources were used back and forth..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang silently calculated in his heart. If all manpower and material resources were converted into money, it would be about one trillion yuan, which is quite a lot.The Zhao family only has a total of more than 100 counties. Although these more than 100 counties have been managed by the Zhao family for many years, the land veins inside have already been sorted out, and the spiritual energy inside has long been stamped with the Zhao family's imprint. Yimu was sacrificed and refined by the Zhao family.

The entire Zhao family has become a whole. Within this whole, it is easy for the Patriarch of Zhao's power to rise to a higher level.

Even every county and county has a large number of spiritual fields and spiritual springs, which are far from comparable to the poor mountains and rivers in the south.

But even so, one trillion yuan is not a small amount for the Zhao family.

The bigger the territory, the more influence, and the more places to spend money.

The income of each county of the Zhao family is not much, and the grain income is not much. On average, a county only has about 4000 million mu of fertile land. Even if Yancheng's fine seeds, soil treasures, and advanced planting techniques are used, the average yield per mu is only [-] It is said that there are already twenty stones in Yancheng.

A county produces 600 million shi of grain a year, which is 300 billion yuan, but after removing many costs, it only gets 200 billion yuan in the end.If it is divided with the local government and handed over to the Zhao family center, it will only be about [-] billion yuan.

Zhao's annual grain income is about three trillion yuan.

Although the Zhao family and other countries in the Central Plains have developed land for a long time, and there are many spiritual fields and springs, these incomes may only be about six or seven trillion yuan.

Even with the addition of other miscellaneous and shady income, as well as the income from breeding and selling war horses, the total annual income of the Zhao family is at most 20 trillion yuan.

It sounds like a lot, but this year is the 50th anniversary of Baijia, and this income is not even as good as that of Yue, which has strong support from Yancheng, let alone compared with Yancheng.

20 trillion sounds a lot, but how much money can be used to research new technologies?

At the beginning, researching the secrets between the first crop and the second crop of Lingmi cost the equivalent of one trillion yuan, but in the end it was a waste of time...

"Nowadays, in order to study the secrets between the second crop and the third crop, countless manpower and material resources have been spent..."

It is also about one trillion, Zhao Yang thought silently.

"There is also the Xuanjia that was studied at the beginning. Now Yancheng's Xuanjia has been developed to the eighth generation. This eighth generation Xuanjia is very light and thin. Wearing it on the body is like wearing a gauze, and it is very It's soft and waxy, it's the same as the gauze garment, and even has some small spells attached to it..."
