Saint Immortal Way

After [-] miles to the south from the territory of the Mongolian people, it is the territory of the Heishui people.Its territory extends to the South China Sea and into the sea.

The terrain in the south is relatively low, with brown soil plains, primeval jungles, and many swamps and lakes. The scout team attacked from three sides to find a way to reach the front.

In the back, hundreds of thousands of soldiers walked and stopped, and they had been marching here for more than half a month.

Ever since they first encountered a group of thousands of Blackwater tribes and destroyed them in one go, the army of the Blackwater tribes has disappeared without a trace.

Along the way, I can occasionally see some Heishui tribes and civilians. They are the aborigines who have lived here for generations. When they saw the Southern Expedition Army coming, some were frightened, and some dared to come forward, trying to use them The shells in his hand were exchanged for the supplies of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

"Camp camp!"

The army responded and began to camp on flat terrain.

Sweeping the flame prison wasteland is a grand strategy set by Princess Shouyang and other high-level officials. Therefore, wherever they go, the army camps and starts logging, building camps, repairing barracks, and so on.

Along with the army came a large number of big businessmen. They started from the development of the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland and gained great profits from the army's southern expedition.

For example, the army needs to eat and drink. In addition to the supply in the army, the sale of merchants accompanying the army is also an important way.

When the army passed by, many seized materials, whether military or civilian, as long as they were not needed, they would usually be packaged and sold to military merchants at an astonishingly cheap price, and let them operate. They often took some time to change hands. You can get rich overnight.

All the merchants accompanying the army are very rich, but the danger of accompanying the army is also great. In the process of hostilities with the Tyrants, there were several times in the process of hostility with the Tyrannical Clan. Killed.

However, the huge profits made them crave for it, especially the Southern Expedition Army in the Flame Prison Wilderness War Zone has always been invincible, and wherever it passes, it is full of gold.

Hundreds of miles away behind the army, the road-building militia composed of farmers, slaves, and craftsmen were working in full swing.

Pill stoves are mounted on huge wooden carts, and each wooden cart is pulled by four durable dragon horses. The craftsmen direct the farmers and slaves to dump baskets of sand, lime, rock fragments and river water Enter the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy boy fired a fire to smelt cement in the alchemy furnace. With a bang, a furnace of cement was poured onto the designated road. As soon as the ten-foot log was rolled, the cement was immediately flattened.

In this way, after one day, the cement will become extremely strong after it dries and cools, and it is not afraid of wind and rain, let alone trampling.

This is the latest way of road construction. The quality of the road is stronger than that of mud roads, gravel roads, and stone roads, and it can be guaranteed to withstand more than ten years of use.

A road-building militia of 5 to [-] people, just like this, wherever the southern expedition army points, such roads will be built all the way, and a large number of barbarians will be forcibly recruited along the way.

The gravel merchants on the nearby rocky mountain brought their buddies and brought lime from all over the place. They were negotiating with the material procurement officer who built the road. As long as the truckloads of gravel and lime were brought in, they would be taken away and exchanged. Get baskets of cash.

Countless Kyushu businessmen and ordinary citizens smelling fishy smell, as well as barbarians from the North Flame Prison wasteland, as long as they have a little way, they will come here after hearing the news. , They will hire the nearby barbarians to dig with all their strength, smelt it into lime, and send it to the road construction militia nearby in exchange for silver.

In this way, after half a year, countless people have made a lot of money.

At the beginning, the road construction militia required them to prepare road construction materials by themselves, but later on, there was no need at all, because there would be merchants who would deliver goods to them at the mountain gate. As long as they prepared the stone refining furnace, craftsmen and slaves, Roads can be built quickly.

The huge road construction required a huge amount of money, but the money was allocated from the bank controlled by Princess Shouyang, Lu Yang and others.

The role of banks is to regulate the circulation of money. The faster the circulation, the more wealth will be generated.

In this way, ten road construction militia groups were established in half a year, and the road construction speed was very fast.

As the Southern Expeditionary Army points south to the southernmost point of the Great Wilderness of Flame Prison, the speed of road construction by the militia is only a little behind the marching speed of the army. If the Southern Expeditionary Army set up camp and eat more books, they may be able to pass immediately after their barracks are completed. good way.

The military merchants hid on the mobile huts outside the military camp, counting the money in their hands, and thinking about who would own the camp built by the army.

Many of the former army camps have now developed into large bazaars, and materials traveling from south to north must pass through these bazaars.

There are a large number of undeveloped resources in the south, such as ores, furs, precious woods, medicinal materials, wild spices, exotic forging materials, etc., and a large number of precious things are sent to the north by car and car, passing through the entire Great Wilderness of Flame Hell, digesting them on the road. , and then flow into Kyushu to earn rich rewards.

For example, a small piece of gemstone from a barbarian tribe in the south, after being transported back to Kyushu through the Great Wilderness of Flame Prison, its value doubled by a thousand times.

Of course, not everything can double in value.

The food, bows and arrows, knives, guns and spears transported from Kyushu and Beiyan Prison can often be doubled and sold.

In the huge military tent that had just been built, all kinds of furniture were available. Princess Shouyang and Saint Huangji sat on chairs, carefully tasting the wild tea they had just picked from the nearby Yunwu Mountains.

A small claw tea, about one or two dollars, has been roasted by the tea masters in the army. It is worth a thousand dollars, and it is only available to people with very prominent status and status like Princess Shouyang. I have never seen a really good tea.

Lu Yang sat beside him, sniffing the fragrance carefully. A wisp of fragrance entered his nose and immediately penetrated his whole body. in the Qingquan.

"Your Highness, this tea is roasted in an alchemy furnace, otherwise it would not be so fragrant, and the essence contained in it would not be so pure and rich!" Lu Yang put down the teacup and laughed.

"This is baked by a tea master in the Shouyang Palace of the main hall. It is called Yunwujing tea. A cup of it can cleanse the blood, increase energy and vitality, and it can clear the liver and eyesight. It has many magical effects. If it can be used for many years Taking it, I dare not say longevity, but you can still do it with beauty skills!"

"It's really good tea!" Lu Yang nodded. He recently heard that in the city of Yujing, the capital of the gods, some talented alchemists who like to drink tea on weekdays had a whim, using special alchemy furnaces and gentle The slow fire roasted green tea made them bake out the best tea with excellent quality.

As soon as this news was spread by good people, it immediately caused a sensation in the capital of God, and quickly spread to Kyushu. Now, this news has spread to the original place of the Flame Prison Great Wilderness.

"The method of roasting tea with an alchemy furnace and alchemy technique is very fresh. Those few people said that they have met in this hall, and they have some relationship. The tea that was baked at first is golden in color and lingering with streamers. It is very strange and has the name of Golden Willow. I heard that a big businessman used a hundred taels of red gold, so to speak, bought three taels, unexpectedly, as soon as he changed hands, he sold it for 300 taels of red gold, and even courted a dignitary, this has been rumored For the anecdote..."

Princess Shouyang explained the ins and outs of the matter, and said again: "I have asked the masters of Jindan Yipintang to start studying the method of roasting Jingcha in the Dan furnace, and soon we will be able to launch a series of top-quality teas. For the imperial palace, the major palaces and noble officials."

Sage Huangji shook his head and said helplessly, "Shouyang, you really are..."

"Auntie wants to say that I got into the eyes of money?" Princess Shouyang frowned.

"Well, as practitioners like us, wealth and land are important, although money is important, but it is not the most important!" Saint Huangji taught.

"Auntie, I don't like to hear that!" Princess Shouyang shook her head and sighed: "I'm only now more and more aware of the wonders of money. In the past, as a princess, although I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, Curry also had some money. I have extra money, but compared to now, it's just a drop in the bucket!"

Princess Shouyang took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and continued: "It is precisely because of the real wealth that I discovered the fact that I used power and money to control the Great Wilderness of the Northern Flame Prison. Even Kyushu In the land, my control has penetrated into every aspect, which was hard to imagine in the past!"

When Lu Yang heard it, he smiled, thinking that Princess Shouyang finally understood the purpose of money. I believe that in any human world, there is such a saying that money can turn ghosts, which has nakedly demonstrated the importance of money. magic.

"When I used the two big sticks of power and money to control the entire Flame Hell Wasteland and held it in my hands, I realized that I am the bread and bread of many people, and I am also the creditor of many people. , I can still make many, many people look up to me piously! As long as I say a word, without needing a sword or a soldier, I can cause an earthquake in the entire Flame Prison Great Wasteland, and can make many people go bankrupt!"

"You could do it before!" Huangji Shengren said.

"That's different. The energy used to be small, but now the energy is huge. It's no longer the same!" Princess Shouyang shook her head.

Lu Yang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Your Highness has grasped the lifeblood of the world's great power, choked the throat of the world's great power, so you can It will play with the region in this way and operate freely!"

Princess Shouyang pondered for a while, then nodded and smiled, "Haha, yes, I like to hear that!"

The sage Huangji was thoughtful, and said: "I am a person in the holy way. I cultivate myself and govern the country to bring peace to the world. In the final analysis, it is to benefit the people and make the people rich and strong. In this way, the country will be strong, and the country will be strong with proprieties. It is Tai Min An An!"
