Pioneering

Chapter 259 The Cloud of War

New Chang'an City, which has gone through two rounds of reconstruction and expansion, with a permanent population of 300 million, gathers the North Continent, and may be the most advanced level of productivity in the entire Zoya world.

The business is prosperous, the industry is prosperous, the surrounding areas are rich in agriculture, and the newly built colleges represent the only complete education chain in the North Continent.

In the east of the new third ring road, Huijin Mall, a medium-sized boutique.

After the closure of self-produced tailors and the coming and going of new garment stores established by factory owners, fashion stores that only sell ready-to-wear are now the final supply-side form of the textile industry.

"How much is this coat, ma'am?"

A handsome-looking young man, with a calm and prestige air in his brows, tried to use the most peaceful tone to inquire with the salesperson in front of him.

"40...no no, 20 silver dollars." The proprietress carefully looked at Zhong Ming with a charming but weathered face, and retracted two of the four outstretched fingers.

"Only 20?" Zhong Ming's expression was a little gloomy.

The proprietress also got into the mood, chattering pointing at this silk maternity dress to sell:

"Yes, look, this silk, this handwork, and this gold trim.

This is a new style from the Royal Weaving Bureau, and I managed to find the source of the goods.

Young man, let me tell you, you really didn’t lose money when you bought it. A year ago, the price was 2 gold dollars.

Your wife must look very pretty in it. "

Beside Zhong Ming, Lavinia had a protruding belly and her face was a little blushing.

It's been three years, and Nezha, the great god of the Santan Haihui, can come out. The child of Zhong Ming, who is pregnant with Lavinia, still has no sign of giving birth.

Not only her, but Kesha Lena and Shana who were pregnant later have been pregnant for more than two years, and they can't survive.

But in perception, the fetus is still very healthy.

Some fetuses with special bloodlines returning to their ancestors will have an abnormal embryonic period, but generally speaking, people in the world of Zoya still accept the concept of pregnancy in September.

If it is too short or too long, it is easy to be regarded as a monster by ignorant people, and it may be burned to death.

Of course, after Zhong Ming's unremitting efforts to implement the "Yaxia Law Code", a large amount of money has been invested in the training of government personnel, and the behavior of burning others at will has almost disappeared.

Naturally no one questioned Zhong Ming's status.But this pregnancy time is indeed too long, and the three girls are a little bit guilty when they grow up.

Fortunately, Zhong Ming tried his best to comfort him and often took time to accompany him, so he didn't feel depressed.

Zhong Ming has already promoted Kesalena, Shanna, and Lavinia to the golden species through the golden apple and divine power to guide and bless them.The three daughters also tried the practice of a wizard, and Shanna, who is the lowest now, is also an intermediate wizard apprentice.

However, at this level of life, even if there is a golden apple that provides a lot of vitality and breeds the demigod descendants of the gods, it is normal for it to take a long time.

Zhong Ming glanced sideways at Lavinia, and seeing her move, he raised his hand and bought three pieces of different sizes and asked them to wrap them up. ——One share for each of the three women, focusing on fairness.

Seeing Lavinia's heart fluttering, the proprietress immediately understood who was shopping, and boasted a lot, what a natural beauty, a goddess on earth,...

Successfully made Zhong Ming pay 22 gold dollars and 80 silver dollars. According to the current exchange rate of Yaxia gold dollar and silver dollar 1: 11, it is equivalent to 322 silver dollars, which is the current half-year income of ordinary working-class families.

Zhong Ming put the clothes into the space props, and the proprietress's eyes flashed with awe, but she was not particularly scared.

After all, in the past two years in New Chang'an City, with the erection of wizard towers on the northwest side of the city and the influx of a large number of students from the wizard academy, the mysterious wizard has broken through the terrifying veil and revealed itself to the citizens.

Even with the graduates of the School of Political Affairs who also minored in meditation and entered the grassroots of Yaxia, the public class yearned for better and more powerful wizards who were rumored to be better paid, and looked forward to having a wizard in their homes.

Could the most powerful wizard run wild in New Chang'an City?

In the long-term excellent public security environment, the citizens of the capital have cultivated an unspeakable confidence, and they have an unspeakable confidence towards Yaxia and Zhong Ming.

The Weaving Bureau is actually a textile company similar to a state-owned enterprise that Zhong Ming set up at will. The main task is to make the modern clothing that Zhong Ming came up with, register the image patent, and then authorize the sale of the right to use it.

Underwear, stockings, short-sleeved shirts...

"Ma'am, how come the price of clothes has changed so much? If it was a year ago, with so many clothes, it would be impossible without seven or eight hundred silver dollars?" Zhong Ming chatted.

This sentence seemed to open the chatterbox of the proprietress, and she poured out to Zhong Ming:

"Sir, you don't know, that group of goddamn people don't know what to do. When they see something that makes money, they rush in. The clothes they produce are more and the prices are lower.

As a result, we all have to keep lowering the price, otherwise we won’t be able to sell it at all, and if this continues, we’re afraid we’ll all have to drink the northwest wind..."

Zhong Ming's eyes flickered: "Is it so serious?"

The proprietress sighed, with a hint of anger and expectation in her eyes:

"Then it's still fake? The group of foreigners who are intensively raised in the land have blocked the way of our Yaxia's foreign trade. The domestic market is so big, how can it accommodate so many textile factories?
It would be great if Your Majesty could lead us to teach those bastards a lesson, and make a way for us, it would be much easier..."

Zhong Ming laughed: "I didn't expect that, ma'am, you are not very knowledgeable."

"Of course, sir, don't look at me because I don't know much. My daughter has entered the Wizarding Academy, and she often tells me some reasons.

And this has spread all over the streets and alleys not long ago, who in Chang'an City doesn't know about those foreigners..."

After another chatter, Zhong Ming led Lavinia into the four-wheeled magic car back.

After all the agricultural machinery was produced, Zhong Ming simply opened the Yaxia Royal Family Automobile Store, and after the patent was registered, it was awarded to outside manufacturers at a lower price.

But unfortunately, at the level of the private industry that has just started, there is no downstream parts supplier that can undertake it, and only some lists for car interior decoration can be produced.

So basically the royal family contracted the entire industrial chain of the automobile industry, and the finished car brands sold—high-end King Long and mid-range Pegasus—were deeply loved by domestic nobles and lords and emerging industrial bourgeoisie.

The current price of cars is not affordable for ordinary people, and we can only wait for the increase in production capacity and the influx of more capital.The most important thing is gasoline production capacity, which cannot support the further promotion of automobiles.

Of course, the car that Zhong Ming is sitting in now is driven by magic energy. It consumes half a magic stone for a thousand miles. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and has no exhaust gas.

"Lavinia, how do you feel about shopping today?" Zhong Ming asked while looking at the distance outside the window.
