Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 433

Cao Zhengxiang gave a brief account of the expenditure during the recent period.

In fact, overall, the cost required is still relatively large.

All the materials needed for the construction of Fengjiang City are relatively expensive.

For example, some defensive formations to stabilize houses and courtyards, or high-level Dingshan Talismans attached to beams in the courtyards of every household.

These all need to spend money, and some large gate stations are purchased.

According to Shen Mu's previous requirements, the things in Fengjiang City, especially this kind of infrastructure, must not be careless.

So what Cao Zhengxiang bought was basically high-end top-level materials.

In addition to the construction of the altar of the Four Elephant Formation, the money spent here was two or three times that of when Gu Shouzhi built the academy.

Because above the altar statue is the eye of the ancient flying sword, which needs to be warmed up.

And there are four in a row.

Therefore, every altar statue needs some specific materials.

Old man Zhu also mentioned it to Shen Mu before.

But although it is more expensive, the benefits are stronger.

The flying swords raised by these four altars are like moving sword towers. When the formation of the four generals is truly opened, in addition to the strength of their beasts, they also have the four-handed flying swords combined with the four-element sword formation.

The power of this sword array is another level.

So no matter what, Shen Mu had to purchase all these things.

Fortunately, in the blessed land of the cave, Shen Mu made a lot of money.

In addition, various income items in Fengjiang City, the secret realm of the ghost gate trial, the sale of magic tools and Tianyin talismans in the shop, and so on.

So at present, it can still be flat.

But if you want to add new items, I am afraid that there is not enough spare energy.

The currency system of Fengjiang money has now reached the second stage, and it is not yet time to cut leeks.

Moreover, many sects have already purchased from Cao Zhengxiang the mutated Dragon Ball Grass that can produce Fengjiang coins.

And this benefit is cyclical.

And it needs some operational components in it, and it has to be built slowly.

Shen Mu looked at Liu Changfeng: "Helan Jianzong's golden body fragments and trophies should be able to sustain your research and development for a period of time, right?"

Liu Changfeng nodded when he heard the words: "Well, the money for smelting should be enough for the time being. The mass-destructive celestial demon green fire is indeed too resource-intensive."

Shen Mu didn't question it, and also admitted what Liu Changfeng said.

This does require a lot of money.

The cost of trial and error is too high.

He wanted to compress such a huge celestial demon karmic fire into the iron, and it was controlled by talismans on the outside, so that it could be launched perfectly.

This whole series of processes is not easy.

This is not like the bullets developed before, because it is small, so it is easy.

With the cooperation of several talismans, it can be formed.

But to release the celestial demon green fire on a large scale and cause terrifying damage, it is necessary to re-study the launch method.

In the previous life, we could rely on technology, calculate and achieve some precise matching.

And this is completely different in the world of practice.

Shen Mu also wants to make an atomic bomb, but the rules of heaven and earth are different.

So there is no shortcut at all right now. When you have an idea, you can only keep trying to explore it, and spend a lot of resources and vitality to stabilize it.

Shen Mu thought for a while: "It seems that we still need to find ways to increase our income. The current resources and money can only be maintained. Once a new situation arises, we will be in a hurry."

Liu Changfeng nodded, but Lu was a little worried. He said: "Shen Mu, although making money is necessary, I think, should we first think about how to face the southern Xinjiang army? Once Xue Jingkang breaks through the Dali border, what will be the first one?" It's us, if we can't deal with him, then there's no point in talking about it later.

The disciples of Wuliang Mountain have sent back news that the battle situation on the border is still very difficult for Dali, not only in terms of resource allocation, but also in terms of combat power. It is estimated that it will not be too long to lose the border. "

Shen Mu actually knew what Liu Changfeng said.

On Cao Zhengxiang's side, he had already found out the situation on the border.

In fact, he was really not that afraid of Xue Jingkang.

After all, he has the invincible card in his hand.

The reason why Shen Mu didn't respond immediately was that he had other calculations.

This situation is rare.

At the gate of his own house, the two dynasties started a national war.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money.

Shen Mu thought for a while and said: "I think... the war between Dali and Nanjing is better to last longer. If it can't be very long, we will help."

"!!!"

"???"

The few people present were stunned when they heard this.

Then something seemed to come to mind.

"Shen Mu, you don't want to...distribute the wealth of the Dali Dynasty?" Liu Changfeng asked.

Cao Zhengxiang, who was on the side, had already laughed.

This is completely in line with the image Shen Mu has always had in his heart.

Since this battle is going to be fought, it is definitely not a loss to make some profit from it.

If it's just to solve the hatred, there is no benefit.

That was really not exciting.

Just like killing Helan Pingyun before, it was obvious that he could be killed directly, but in the end Shen Mu opened the gamble and sold the tickets.

With the above experience, everyone understands now.

Shen Mu is ready to do the same.

Cao Zhengxiang suddenly said, "According to what your lord wants, do you want to do business with the Dali Dynasty?"

The only one who knows me is Master Cao!Shen Mu smiled knowingly: "If this war is one-sided, it will actually be very unfavorable to us. To be honest, we don't need to confront the Nanjing army head-on. Since there is a Dali army, why not help and let them help solve?"

Shen Mu took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:

"This war must not be short. It's better to fight for a year or so. It's a tug-of-war. In this way, I can help them provide food and grass. I can increase the eight-fold increase in vitality rice before. ! 16 times! If it is really not possible, 30 times the increase is fine, not only vitality rice, I can also provide them with a 30 times increase in quenching pills! Nayuan Dan! These pills are widely used in wars, It could change the whole situation of the battle.

By the way, we can also provide them with new types of weapons, as ammunition!Do you understand?Where there is war, there is opportunity to make a fortune, of course.The demonic green firearms definitely won't work, but the flashing talisman and smoke talisman, including the fighting styles trained by the monks in the borderlands, can be taught to them. Anyway, it's a business, and the price is negotiable.

With these, I think this war can last longer, and if it lasts longer, they will need to continue to buy military supplies from us, and when we earn a lot of money, we will come out to harvest the battlefield, Resolve grievances. "

Liu Changfeng: "..."

Cao Zhengxiang: "!!!"

"..."

The people present fell silent after hearing Shen Mu's words.

I have to admire, it really is the material to be a city lord.

This trick is too ruthless.

Borrowing a knife to kill, others have to give you money, while helping you thousands of dollars, while helping you block the knife and kill the enemy, and then wait until the end of both sides, you come out to pick up the head, and finally settle the grievances...

The more I listened to it, the more I felt that the emperor of the Dali Dynasty was a big injustice.

Shen Mu didn't care what they thought, he looked at Cao Zhengxiang: "Old Cao, send someone over to lay the groundwork, and then secretly tell Xiao Nanhe, Gu Shouzhi, and Wang Beixuan to beat the Emperor Dali. [-]% to them."

Cao Zhengxiang responded with a smile: "Understood."
