Looking at the bustling sea market in front of him, where demon kings frequently came and went, Gou Jian couldn't help but think back on the development of the Yue Kingdom in the past ten years.
At the beginning, the Yue Kingdom only sold the monster corpses, spiritual root fruits, heavenly materials, earthly treasures and other treasures that had been saved over the years. Before the official sale, everyone was wondering whether it could be sold?
These monster corpses have basically accumulated for hundreds of years. (If the time is longer, the cost of preservation will be too high and not cost-effective. Therefore, the corpses of the great demons can be accumulated for a few hundred years at most. Of course, those whose family heritage is not included.)
The corpses of the Demon King have been accumulated for thousands of years.
After so many years of accumulation in Yue State, how much can Yancheng buy?
One hundred billion?
This is already a big number!
one trillion?
If Yancheng is held to death, it can only purchase one trillion yuan of goods every year, right?
However, the demon kings, great demons, spiritual root fruits, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures accumulated by the Yuehou lineage near the capital of Yue Kingdom alone are estimated to be worth tens of trillions.
This business is expected to last for decades.
If you add the savings accumulated by the nobles of the Yue Kingdom, this business might last for hundreds of years.
There is no way, who made the country of Yue so vast and rich in resources? Many powerful vassal states in the Central Plains are not as big as Yue in terms of area alone.
However, with an annual business of one trillion yuan, if you remove the cost of preserving the corpses of these demon kings and great demons, remove the casualties of killing and capturing demon kings and great demons, and remove the cost of finding spiritual roots, the country of Yue will be able to make a profit. Around 800 billion.
Originally, Yue's annual income was only a few hundred billion, but now it suddenly increased to 800 billion. Gou Jian was actually very satisfied. With these 800 billion, in a few decades, Yue will be able to train at least one Xuan-level Taoist soldier. With one Xuan-level Taoist soldier, Gou Jian will be able to tame 80% of the small and medium-sized nobles in the country.
As for the remaining 20%, 10% of them are local nobles, and the nobles cannot move lightly. The other 10%, their collusion with the Chu State is too serious, and they have become the Chu State's spies in the Yue State. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner and cannot be easily moved. Who makes the Yue State weak and dependent on the Chu State?
But I never expected that in the first year of trading, the government alone did 1.5 trillion in business, and the private sector also did 1.5 trillion in business.
By the second year, the government had done 2 trillion yuan in business, and the private sector had also done 2 trillion yuan in business.
More than ten years have passed, and this year has also reached the winter solstice. This year is almost over. So far, the official business has done 10 trillion yuan, and the private sector has done 15 trillion yuan in business.
If we get to the end of the year, Gou Jian estimates that the total business volume done by the government and the private sector this year will be as high as 30 trillion yuan. Of these 30 trillion, about 6 trillion are Goujian's direct profits, and about 2 trillion are profits from taxes. Taken together, Goujian made a huge profit of 8 trillion this year.
Gou Jian couldn't believe it when he thought of this number. He would often jump up happily when he was alone inside the palace.
Nowadays, the inventory of the king of Yue has basically been sold out.
All the nobles in the country, big and small, are also actively involved in this business: everyone makes money if they have money.
With Gou Jian's acquiescence, Wen Zhong organized an official fleet. Every year, he would take the country's nobles and nobles with some rare treasures to Yancheng to sell and make money, and by the way buy some Yancheng Xuanjia, talismans, The magic weapon is back.
The business between Yue State and Yancheng has become the lifeblood of the entire Yue State. At this time, if anyone dares to stop this transaction, it's hard to say what Yancheng will do, but Yue will definitely make this guy disappear from the world.
Today, Gou Jian came here to discuss business with Jiang Hua.
It's just that he never expected that Jiang Hua would choose this sea market in front of him as the trading place. At first, Gou Jian didn't understand why he chose this place, but after looking at it for a while, Gou Jian understood.
I have only seen monsters who come to trade with strange shapes, which is normal. There is no such thing as thunder calamity in the world today.
This is not a mythical place. Emperor Wa used the way of creation to create the thunder catastrophe of transformation, allowing all races to transform into human forms, and then unite all races with the human race.
This is just an extraordinary world. Perhaps one day in the future, when Qinglian becomes stronger step by step, he will be able to create a real transformation thunder tribulation, which can make all demons and monsters transform into humans, and then use the powerful power of the human race to assimilate them. Convince them and reason with them. By then, only the human race will be left in the world.
But at this moment, there is no so-called lightning disaster of transformation, and there is no saying that monsters can transform into humans after being struck by lightning.
If it cannot transform into a human being, it will naturally have a strange shape.
I saw a large number of strange monsters coming over with a large amount of resources obtained from the depths of the seabed.
However, anyone who dares to do this is the Demon King.
For example, the demon king in front of you is a jellyfish. At this moment, each tentacle of the jellyfish is pulling the huge ore in front of you. At this moment, the jellyfish evolves into its true form, and its tentacles are even more than a thousand feet long. Thousand-foot-long tentacles wrapped layer by layer around the huge piece of ore in front of them.
Gou Jian took one look and knew it was gold ore.
For gold ore as big as a hill, Gou Jian felt that if calculated according to Yancheng's measurement units, one hundred thousand tons would definitely be more than one hundred thousand tons, and one million tons would not be enough.
A jellyfish, in the sea, uses the power of water and its tentacles to drag hundreds of thousands of tons of gold mine to trade. There are many demon kings who behave similarly to this jellyfish.
After a while, a Taoist priest came out to negotiate the price with the jellyfish. The Taoist priest first put his hand on the gold mine, and then said loudly: "Jellyfish fellow Taoist, your gold mine weighs 300,000 yuan." More than 1,600 tons.”
The jellyfish thought for a moment and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Jellyfish, the quality of your gold ore is very good. Each ton of ore contains about 200 grams of gold. It's not a small amount in total, but we also need costs to smelt these gold ores, so I'll give you a fixed price. One million taels of gold, one tael of gold is ten thousand dollars, your gold mine is worth ten billion dollars, what do you think?"
When the jellyfish heard this, its tentacles immediately moved up and down. Isn't this too dark?
I worked so hard to dig such a huge gold mine from the depths of the sea. I fought a lot of bastard monsters along the way. But when I got to you, I cut off about 30% of the gold mine with one knife. Don’t think that I don’t understand. math! I am also a high-quality monster who reads Yancheng Journal!
Looking at the excited jellyfish, the Taoist priest did not panic at all: "Jellyfish, don't be excited. Listen to me. These ores are indeed very valuable, but smelting them is also very labor-intensive. You have to know that there are impurities in gold ore. It’s a lot, and there are only 200 grams per ton. Doesn’t it take a long time to smelt?”
"And as long as you nod your head now, 10 billion dollars will be in your hands immediately. How much time and energy will be saved?"
"Jellyfish, let me tell you, for similar transactions in the future, we can change the method, that is, you determine the transaction location yourself. Next time you find a gold mine, you can hide the gold mine quietly, and then come over and sign a contract with us. , when the time comes, we will send people to mine, we will send people to smelt, and the profits will be divided 30-70 between us, you 30-70 and I will share 70-70."
"This way, you don't have to fight all the way along the road. If you weren't strong enough, tell me, wouldn't you have been killed by other monsters along the way?"
"In addition, 10 billion is a lot of money. Now a new batch of magic weapons have been released, and there are many top-quality magic weapons. Come and see if there is anything you like..."
After a while, the jellyfish left, not even taking away all the 10 billion money. She didn't even take away any penny.
Her 10 billion dollars only existed on paper from beginning to end.
In the end, the jellyfish happily took away a treasure gourd, which contained three billion worth of elixirs, and also took away a top-quality magic weapon, with three billion yuan left, which was temporarily stored in the sea market.
After witnessing this transaction with his own eyes, Gou Jian suddenly discovered that Yue State was not Yancheng's largest supplier at all.
The largest suppliers in Yancheng are these demon kings in the sea.
These demon kings can get everything they imagine in the sea market. There are too many elixirs and too many rare treasures in Yancheng, which can meet almost all their needs.
With the entire sea as its backing, and so many great demons and demon kings working hard to provide Yancheng with various resources, the status of the Yue Kingdom seems to be less important than previously imagined: Gou Jian originally planned to raise the price from the ground up!
Why can the corpse of the great demon that the Yue Kingdom has worked so hard to accumulate for so many years only have this price?
Isn’t it okay to raise the price?
At this moment, the sea city in front of him clearly gave Gou Jian a slap in the face.
Price increase?
Can you give it a try?
At this moment, Gou Jian suddenly thought of what might happen to Yue if the current transaction was stopped, and he felt a chill go down his spine.
If he, the Marquis of Yue, takes the lead in making trouble and the business fails in the end, will he suddenly die?
At this moment, a lot of history came to Gou Jian's mind, including many precedents of sudden death of princes and even monarchs in previous generations.
At this moment, Gou Jian suddenly felt a little powerless: The Yue Kingdom had been bound to Yancheng without knowing it. In a sense, the Yue Kingdom had become a vassal of Yancheng?
But how is this possible?
The Yue State is a descendant of King Yu, with the noble blood of King Yu flowing in its body. It is also one of the powerful vassal states. However, Yancheng in front of us is just a small feudal lord. Even if he becomes a vassal, it is still a new one. The princes of Jin...
What's more, now I have used my income over the years to train a large number of Huang-level Taoist soldiers. Using these Huang-level Taoist soldiers, I have swept through twelve major counties. Among these twelve major counties, The monsters and monsters have become trophies and were sold to Yancheng to make a lot of money.
The money earned can be reinvested in military training and more counties can be cleared.
The more you clean up, the more monsters and ghosts you harvest.
The more you harvest, the more money you make when selling.
The more money you sell, the more troops you can train.
The entire Yue Kingdom has now formed a positive cycle, and twelve major counties have been fully developed.
Next, you only need to buy large-scale production instruments and farm well, and you will make a fortune and support the country of Yue. The future of Vietnam will definitely get better and better.
The Yancheng in front of us is a country that only cares about money. After all, he is the son of a doctor. His background is not noble at all, his knowledge is shallow, and his vision is short-sighted. Look at the people employed in Yancheng. Prime Minister Yu is just a son of the common people. General Yan is still the son of a common man. Xiao He, the son of a commoner, Wu Qi, the son of a merchant, Han Xin, the son-in-law (disparaging name)...
Looking at these people, you will know that there is not a single noble noble in Yancheng today. Naturally, they can only see the three-acre land in front of them and cannot see the distant future.
When the Yue Kingdom becomes great again in the future, Yancheng will be annexed by the way. Yancheng must be kept by then. This is a hen that lays golden eggs!
Thinking of this, Gou Jian instantly felt that the future was full of hope.
What Gou Jian didn't know was that in his vision, Yancheng would be a part of the Yue Kingdom in the future and would be responsible for making money for the Yue Kingdom. In Jiang Hua's vision, the future Yue Kingdom would also be a part of Yancheng, and the vast land of the Yue Kingdom would all make money for Yancheng.
It can only be said that the two of them wanted to go together at this moment. I don’t know if this is the so-called hero’s common vision?
Immediately, Gou Jian adjusted his mentality and said: "Mr. Yan, now most of the accumulation of the Yue State over the years has been sold to Yancheng. If the remaining accumulation continues to be sold, it can indeed last for some years, but people without foresight must There is a near-term worry, if you always rely on accumulation, you will eventually run out.”
Jiang Hua nodded slightly in agreement.
The territory of the Yue Kingdom is so large, it would be really wasteful to just pick up fruits slowly.
Moreover, in today's Yue State, most of the counties in the country are in an undeveloped state, which is too wasteful. So much land, so many forests, and so many monsters in the forest, all of which are money.
"I plan to issue bonds in Yancheng and use the reputation of the country of Yue as a guarantee."
"This bond is mainly used to renovate the land in the country, sort out the earth's veins, nourish the earth's veins, create a blessed land in the cave, and better plant spiritual rice and spiritual roots, cultivate spiritual springs, and then develop the entire Yue Kingdom."
Jiang Hua nodded from time to time. These projects are indeed very profitable. The premise is that Vietnam must be fully developed.
Take Kuaiji County, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, as an example. This county is very large. One county is as big as the seven western counties of Shangchao Kingdom.
But even today, this county has just cleaned up the forests, mountains, and rivers in the county for the first time.
However, if the earth veins are not sorted out, the water veins are not adjusted, and every bit of spiritual energy in the entire Kuaiji County is not refined and labeled as the Yue Kingdom, then it won't be long before new monsters and ghosts are born.
If you want to completely eliminate demons and ghosts, it is not just as simple as cleaning them up once. You need to clean them frequently, and you also need to completely solve them from the perspective of earth veins, water veins, and spiritual energy.
"Currently, Vietnam's annual income is several trillion yuan. Twenty years ago, Vietnam's annual income was less than one trillion yuan."
"So, Gu is thinking that in the next five years, ten trillion bonds will be issued every year, specifically for the purpose of reclaiming and building the country. The future will be bright, and the country of Yue will definitely be able to pay back the money."
Hearing this, Jiang Hua remained silent, but Lu Buwei, who was behind Jiang Hua, stepped forward and saluted Gou Jian. In an instant, Gou Jian's mood deteriorated.
This is a new book by the Grand Master. He is also an old author. The quality of the work is guaranteed. If you like this genre, you can read it.
