Lord of the Earth

Chapter 158 Business Planning, Preparations for Fangshi

Xia Tian personally brought Xue Baochai and his party to the territory.

And after entering the bluestone wall, the change of the territory made the ten white soldiers who had only come here five days ago couldn't help but click their tongues!
"Look, isn't that the kind of city defense crossbow that we saw when we came last time that can kill the 'Blue Scaled Pterosaur'? There are a few more. Could it be that it is not a strange thing, but made by humans? weapons..."

"In this territory, there are several miles of walls and an army of more than 1000 people?"

"In the territory, everyone can get merit points, which can be exchanged for cultivation techniques of the mortal level!"

The newcomers were even more curious and surprised.

You know, the total number of people in their territory is barely a thousand, and even the number of troops in Xia Tian's territory can't match.

Moreover, those who can practice are limited to the army.

After all, although a person's body and spirit are indeed stronger after cultivation, the corresponding daily consumption of resources also increases accordingly. A person of the ninth rank of the mortal rank consumes ten times as much food as an ordinary fifth rank person in order to maintain his cultivation. times.

Not to mention the requirements of monks at the shattering level for meat, spirit stones, etc. Ordinary territories simply cannot afford too many troops!

What's more, it is already very good to have a silver hero who can lead troops in most of the territories!
And in Xia Tian's territory...

"Commander Wu Song, is it possible that he is the head of Wudu who was drunk and beat a tiger in Jingyang Gang?"

"Commander Hua Rong, is Liangshan Shooting Goose, Hua Zhizhai known as 'Xiao Li Guang'?"

"Changbanpo enters seven times and exits seven times. General Zhao Zilong, the savior in danger, is that horse the legendary Zhaoyeyu Lion!"

"General Gao Shun..."

To Xia Tian's surprise, besides Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, Xue Baochai recognized Wu Song, Hua Rong and others, and even knew the life stories of each other.

How could a person from the "Red Chamber" know about the outstanding deeds of the "Water Margin"?

However, Xia Tian remembered later.

Unlike most historical novels, although the background era of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is "overhead", it mentions a large number of historical figures before the Qing Dynasty, and even various literary figures.

In other words, Xue Baochai does understand the history and development of the entire China except the Qing Dynasty in theory!
In addition, the book called "The War of Currency" in her hand is more obviously from modern society.

There is a high probability that the lord of the territory he belongs to opened it from the "resource treasure box", just like Xia Tian once opened "Maotai wine, Liushen toilet water" from the treasure box.

This also means that the girl in front of her not only has an understanding of ancient historical figures, knowledge of hundreds of schools, etc., but may even have an understanding of modern management concepts and some knowledge of later generations.

"Baiyujing? Baiyujing in the sky, twelfth floor and five cities. Immortals caress my top, tie my hair and receive longevity... This poem by Li Taibai, the little girl thought it was just a fiction, but today I saw a picture scroll of Lord Xia Only after suppressing the mountain ghost did I realize that perhaps Lay Qinglian had really seen a fairy..."

And when passing by "Bai Yujing", Xue Baochai, who was holding a scroll in his hand, stopped even more, with an expression of "as expected" on his face!

"May I ask, Lord Xia, is this 'Baiyujing' a 'Strange City' that can exchange materials in the void?"

Then, he turned his head and looked towards Xia Tian.

"Ok?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised, Xue Baochai, as a hero, actually knew so much about the functions of "Fangshi"?
"Because, the lord of my family also has a square city in his hands... and once had a deal with Lord Xia!"

Xue Baochai held the scroll in her hand, and said with a smile on her white teeth.

"Xiu'er's shop?"

After Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood.

Because the number of strange buildings like "Fangshi" is still very rare.

Within a certain range around, there are still only two fangshi at present, which are the green quality "Baiyujing" in his own territory and the blue quality "Xiuer Xiaopu" that appeared first.

Therefore, it is self-evident that Xue Baochai and Qin Liangyu are the lords of the territory.

He had actually asked Wang Wu about their lord's situation before.

But the other party's language is unclear, but now Xia Tian understands, it is probably because their lord is rather special.

Before, when he traded with that lord named "Xiu'er", he could feel that the other party was not very old, and even his tone was obviously a little immature, and some conversations seemed to be taught by others.

If he guessed correctly, the person who actually manages and develops that human territory is not the lord named Xiu'er, but the "Chief of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling".

It can also explain why Xue Baochai was able to realize her potential and was rated as "golden" by the will of the earth!
"Little girl, can I ask Lord Xia a question?"

After observing the "Fangshi" and found that there was no one inside, Xue Baochai's eyes flickered under his glasses, as if he spoke after making a certain decision.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I don't know, how does Lord Xia plan to make a deal with our territory?"

"Of course it's barter!"

This is currently the most common trading method.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a spirit stone mine in your lord's territory, right?"

The girl was noncommittal.

With a smile on his face, he continued.

This point Xia Tian is not very surprised, because it is not difficult to speculate.

Without Lingshi Mine, ordinary human territories would not dare to raise so many mortal-level troops!
"Bartering is certainly feasible, but with different territories and various resources, it is inevitable to be cumbersome and lengthy to trade with each other. And this Baiyujing, as a rare item city, is so idle, it is a pity!"

"Since your lord's territory has spirit stone veins, why not use these spirit stones as an 'intermediate currency' and provide them to different territorial teams through resource pledges, allowing them to trade through spirit stones... At the same time, make this 'Bai Yujing' 'Open, allowing foreign territory personnel to trade freely in it, and draw a certain management fee..."

"In this way, not only can you obtain the supplies you need, but it can also provide a real communication channel for all the surrounding ethnic territories."

Xue Baochai looked at Xia Tian, ​​with a smile on his face, talking eloquently.

"Lingshi currency, square market, channels..."

After hearing the words of the golden hairpin girl, Xia Tian's heart moved.

His previous idea was indeed just to attract the surrounding lords through the "vision of the secret realm of the human race", trade special products and resources with each other, and exchange what they have!
But Xue Baochai's words undoubtedly provided him with a broader idea...

That's right, relying on one's own spirit stone veins and establishing a real "Fang City" in the territory, not only can one continuously obtain income, but even gain a huge reputation among the surrounding human races soon.

Although it seems that the so-called reputation is very empty and has no practical use, but it is not the case for him.

Among other things, just talking about the strange building of "Golden Terrace", it needs to rely on the transmission of reputation to play the characteristics of attracting talents to vote.

The only question is, is it too soon to be involved in "business" or even vaguely "financial"?
Moreover, there is no shortage of various craftsmen in his territory, but there is indeed no outstanding person who is proficient in business. It may not be so easy to establish a "Fangshi" as Xue Baochai calls it.

"Miss Xue's proposal really touched my heart. Just to build such a square city, I am afraid that a lot of spirit stones will be needed... My territory may not be able to support it... In addition, I am more curious, why does Miss Xue want such a good idea?" Inform me instead of implementing it in your own territory?"

Xia Tian looked at Xue Baochai.

What the other party said just now seems to be a bit "compassionate"!

"We really wanted to build a 'Fang City' by ourselves. But firstly, there is no Lingshi mine, and secondly, after encountering two mountain ghosts today, we realized that the high-level alien race is more powerful than imagined!"

"Building a square city and bringing together human races from all directions is a benefit and a risk at the same time... At present, I am afraid that only Lord Xia, who has many outstanding people and thousands of troops, can establish and maintain it!"

And Xue Baochai did not hide it, and told the truth.

"If the lord is willing to establish the 'Fangshi', we are willing to be the first 'territory' to settle in, and trade some of the 'exotic treasures and strange things' we have obtained through the Fangshi!"

In the end, Xue Baochai added something even more.

"Let me think about this matter for a while before giving Miss Xue an answer."

Xia Tian did not directly agree.

"By the way, speaking of it, there is a 'citizen' of Ms. Xue in our territory. Besides, Ms. Xue should know her... I don't know, but are you interested?"

Then Xia Tian remembered something and said to Xue Baochai with a smile!

"Oh, really?"

Xue Baochai raised her head abruptly, the golden phoenix hairpin above her head was swaying, and there was a bit of curiosity on the goose egg face!

"Qingwen, look who this is!"

Xia Tian took Xue Baochai into the lord's mansion.

Qingwen was rolling up her sleeves, stretching out her snow-white arms to pick the fragrant white lotus flowers in the pond of the mansion.

After it is ready to be dried, it will be processed as tea, and will be drunk when the lord is thirsty at night.

Although she is a maid, as the first batch of talents who joined, Qingwen's contribution in the entire territory is not strictly speaking inferior to many outstanding people.

In addition to the original mutated golden dragon marrow, just yesterday, by virtue of the "sun and moon essence" fused from the sun gold bottle and the moon god bottle plus her own "hibiscus flower god" characteristics, Qingwen bred another slough Fan level variation "Fragrant White Lotus Seed".

In addition to retaining the original characteristics, after eating, it can also permanently increase the "savvy" of creatures.

In time, if it can be further cultivated to become a real "spiritual plant".

Perhaps, eating just one lotus seed can make the beasts enlightened, know how to cultivate, and become demon cultivators!
"Ah, you are... Miss Bao?"

Standing in the pool with a flower in her hand, Qing Wen's face froze like a lotus fairy. In the eyes of ancient people, some foxy eyes widened, and some were not sure.

The main reason is that although Xue Baochai's appearance is still the same, her personal temperament is obviously different from the "Miss Xue family" in the Grand View Garden in her memory.

It's like a canary that has been freed after breaking out of the cage!

"Ah, Qingwen?"

Xue Baochai was also a little surprised, and immediately turned into a surprise.

Although the two are in the original world.

One is a young lady of a big family, and the other is a servant girl. Their status is very different, but Qingwen and her also meet each other often and are very familiar with each other.

What's more, being able to see an old friend in the vast eternal land.

The previous status is obviously not important anymore!
……

And when the two girls were in Qingwen's room in the backyard of the lord's mansion, they were talking about their respective experiences and encounters over the past month, and their mouths were filled with emotion.

Xia Tian also came to the meeting room in the front yard, and someone invited Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang.

"Fangshi? This is indeed a good idea."

"In this way, we can not only trade with the surrounding territories, but even influence the surrounding territories to a certain extent..."

After hearing Xue Baochai's words relayed by Xia Tian, ​​both Jia Xu and Li Ru looked thoughtful.

Then, the two discussed to build such a square city, what benefits can the territory get?

Even, discuss whether it is possible to control the resource output of other territories by regulating the "Fang City" in the future?

The question is, did the two counselors of the Three Kingdoms era see too far?

Xia Tian is going to build an ordinary "Fang City" to trade supplies. In the eyes of the two "poison warriors", there are all kinds of "strategic intentions"!
"Actually, Liang also wanted to suggest to the adults to set up a square city to attract outsiders to communicate, but he didn't think of the method of using 'spirit stone' as an intermediary. There are talented people from generation to generation. I don't want a little girl to be able to With this insight!"

Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion.

"It's because a few things that are busy with the territory, the energy is not here."

Xia Tian would not think that the outstanding people in his territory were not as good as Xue Baochai, but each had their own strengths.

Xue Baochai was born in a business family, so he would naturally consider business aspects, while the daily consideration of several outstanding people is the development of the military, farming, and people's livelihood of the territory.

The meaning of the existence of the Territory of the Human Race is also the gathering of talents and outstanding people, each playing their own strengths...

"Furthermore, the reserves of 'spiritual stone veins' in the territory are not too large, so it may not be able to support the construction of such a 'Fang City'. Besides, today these mountain ghosts have begun to intercept and attack outsiders... want to build a workshop City, I am afraid we must first solve the problem of the mountain ghost..."

Xia Tian's eyes were cold.

If it is another high-level alien race, it may not reach the level of "immortality" with the human race. After all, with the support of the will of the earth, the development of the human race's territory is very fast.

It will take at most one or two months, which should be enough to compete head-on with these high-level alien races, and the high-level alien races are not really afraid of life and death. Facing the rapid improvement in strength, and a "secret realm" that is about to open the territory of the human race, more should Will temporarily choose to wait and see!

But mountain ghosts are different. This kind of race that exclusively feeds on humans is destined to be unable to coexist with humans!
It's time to get this out of the way.
