Chapter 136 Oasis Mansion

The Fengyu Empire is originally composed of aristocratic families, not to mention the various aristocratic families, even the emperor's family is already preparing to retreat.

"Forget it, these are not things we can care about, let's take care of our own affairs with peace of mind." Ren Daoyuan shook his head and said, feeling very helpless in his heart.In his opinion, Qingzhou is not that bad. Although there is not enough supplies, the noble family lives a luxurious life. As long as everyone works together and spares no expense on the family property, it may not be impossible to recruit millions of legions .

But in fact, no one is willing to take out their own things. The aristocratic family would rather use this financial resources to find a way out for themselves and continue to live in other safe state capitals than to use it to live and die with the entire Qingzhou.

To put it simply, the aristocratic families in Qingzhou have a very poor sense of belonging to Qingzhou.The main reason is that Qingzhou is too barren.If it weren't for the family's lack of strength and the family property and power that they were reluctant to get, they would have gone to live in a better place long ago.

After the rest, they continued to head west. The previous news made everyone feel bad. Even the interest in swimming and playing in the water disappeared without a trace. They just kept their heads down and hurried on their way.

Ganquan City, in the eastern part of Qianzhou, is only two days away from Ruicheng Dezhou, so it can barely be regarded as a border city.With a population of more than [-], Qingzhou is considered a big city, but in Qianzhou, it can only be regarded as a small city.

In such a small town, there are also two martial arts families.Yunfeng's family, the Yun family, and the Qi family.The strengths of these two aristocratic families are similar, and there are some in-law relationships, so although there are two aristocratic families in one family, they live in peace.In the commercial field, there are many cooperations.

Regardless of the small population of Ganquan City, it has a large area, not much smaller than Yanqing Mansion in Qingzhou.The inner city has a radius of more than ten miles, which can only be regarded as ordinary.Outside the city are warehouses and bazaars stretching for dozens of miles, full of people and horses from morning till night, very lively.

Entering the territory of Ganquan City, Yunfeng was obviously a little excited, the young and old left home and returned home.When he left, Yunfeng was just an ordinary martial artist of the low rank of the earth rank, but when he came back, he had already stepped into the star rank.

Xingjie is naturally not a great figure in Qianzhou, but in a small prefecture like Ganquan, he can be considered a number one figure.Regardless of whether it is the Yun family or the Qi family, the highest powerhouse is only a mid-level star rank.

"Teacher Ren, please take a look. This is the Ganquan Daji. It stretches for dozens of miles and is extremely spectacular. Every day there are no less than [-] people, thousands of cars and horses, and tens of thousands of warehouses." Yunfeng said excitedly.

"Oh? What kind of big event is this?" Ren Daoyuan asked while looking at it. The road was indeed full of cars like running water and horses like dragons. People shouted and neighed constantly. The wide road was almost blocked by cars and horses. Bring up the speed.

"This is a mineral market. Our Oasis Mansion is not far from Dezhou. It is one of the gateways from Dezhou to Qianzhou. The mountain roads in Dezhou are difficult, and many large vehicles are impassable. They can only be transported by small cars. From Dezhou will After the refined minerals are transported to Ganquan Mansion, they will be transported by carts, which can increase the speed and increase the volume of transportation. In addition, there are many short-footed traders who are unwilling to travel too far. We only do business from Dezhou to Ganquan Prefecture, transport minerals from Dezhou to other places, sell them directly to those who demand them, and go back and forth. This large collection of minerals is one of the main sources of income for Ganquan Prefecture..." Speaking of the outside of Ganquan Prefecture There was a large collection of mineral products, and the clouds were endless, and they talked for half an hour in one go.

Ren Daoyuan and Huo Yujia sighed secretly, this is the gap.Qingzhou also has minerals, but there are very few minerals. The minerals in the western part of Kyushu are mainly concentrated in Yunzhou, Guangde. Qingzhou is not only barren, but also not rich in minerals.Most of the weapons and equipment used by the army and the minerals needed are purchased from Texas.

Of course, Qingzhou is very poor, so I can only go to Dezhou to buy it by myself, and then send it back to Qingzhou little by little.From the east of Kyushu to the west of Kyushu, the road is difficult, the roads are not clean, and there are many bandits. Only a little more than half of the supplies can be transported safely.Coupled with the fact that people eat and feed horses, when they arrive in Qingzhou, the value of minerals that were originally not expensive has doubled.

"Mr. Yun, how many minerals are traded here every day?" Ren Daoyuan asked.

Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and said: "It's hard to say, on average, there should be millions of catties per day, and at least they are all rough-refined minerals."

Minerals are raw materials for processing civilian metal utensils and military equipment.The most basic thing is ore. The quality of ore is different, and the amount of metal contained in it is also different.Dezhou's minerals are not only large in quantity, but also of extremely high quality. The worst is [-]% metal, and the high one can even reach [-]% metal.

Even if the quality is high, it still contains a lot of impurities, and the roads in Texas are difficult, so it is naturally extremely uneconomical to transport ore directly.However, there are not very good craftsmen in Dezhou, and the number of craftsmen is limited. Therefore, it is relatively more cost-effective to carry out rough refining first, remove most of the impurities, and then transport them out for trading.

After rough refining, there will naturally be refining, and after refining, there will be second refining, third refining, ten refining, hundred refining and so on.This kind of fine processing depends on the level and ability of the iron supervisors and craftsmen of each empire.

"Millions of catties..." Even Huo Yujia, who is always calm, gasped. Even if the ore was only roughed by a single process, such a huge amount is unimaginable. You know, this is only one day in Oasis Mansion. Trading volume.

After refining, the quantity will naturally decrease, but even if the final product is [-]-refined refined steel, these millions of catties of ore are enough to equip thousands of heavily armored knights.

Yunfeng seemed to guess what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "Master Ren, in fact, the quantity of these minerals is not too much. Almost all the cities bordering Dezhou have such bazaars, and there are at least a dozen ore mines. The total number of daily transactions is difficult to count. But these are not all used in the military, nor are they only used in Qianzhou. In fact, not only [-]% of the ore in Kyushu passes through here, but also the overseas islands are traded from here. Therefore, the number is not large. Most of them are used for people’s livelihood, and only a small part is used for military affairs.”

Ren Daoyuan nodded, with a forced smile on his face, no matter how Yunfeng explained, the truth was right in front of him, Qingzhou was far behind.

As one of the two aristocratic families in Ganquan Mansion, Yun Mansion should be magnificent and vast in Ren Daoyuan's mind. In fact, Yun Mansion's area is not that big, and its population is not too large. The area is even less than half of Ren's family. .On the contrary, it shows the ancient charm everywhere.In contrast, the Ren family feels a bit like a nouveau riche.

The enthusiasm of the Yun Manor was far beyond Ren Daoyuan's imagination. The clean water was splashed on the street, the loess paved the road, and the middle door was wide open. Headed by the owner of the Yun Family, Yun Shang, with Yun Lei at his side, they greeted them a few blocks outside the door.

"Master Ren, this is Yunfeng's father, Yun Shang, the current head of the Yun family."

"Master Ren, this is Yunfeng's uncle."

Yunfeng introduced both of them, and among the members of the Yun family, only these two were introduced. Ren Daoyuan couldn't see their cultivation, and knew that these two should be strong above the star rank.

"Master Ren, come here, the Yun family is full of splendor." Yun Shang took a few steps forward, bowed, and actually bowed to Ren Daoyuan first, which made Ren Daoyuan return the salute repeatedly. A junior, an earth-level martial artist saluted, which he couldn't afford.

After the banquet, under the guidance of Yunfeng, Yunshang and Yunlei walked into the courtyard where Ren Daoyuan lived.Ren Daoyuan's heart trembled, he knew he had something to discuss.The enthusiasm of the Yun family is not only because he succeeded in finding a star for Yunfeng, which gave the Yun family an extra star.

The matter of searching for stars is a transaction. Ren Daoyuan helped Yunfeng succeed in searching for stars, and Yunfeng also paid a sufficient price.

Take a seat and serve tea.

"Master Ren, Yun Shang is here to thank you for your action. You have added another star master to the Yun family, and it is an extremely rare twin star." Yun Shang said.

Ren Daoyuan said a few words politely, he knew that this was just a superficial talk, don't take it seriously.

Sure enough, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Yun Shang's face next: "Master Ren, it's rare to meet a star-seeking Taoist like you. Yun has something to ask, and I'm afraid of taking the liberty."

Ren Daoyuan cursed secretly in his heart, are you afraid of being presumptuous and still say it?You don't need to ask, you know, there must be someone in the Yun family who has reached the top level of heaven and needs to ask a Taoist teacher to find a star. I am sending it to my door on my own initiative, and Yun Shang will naturally not let it go.

Originally, Ren Daoyuan was very interested in the matter of searching for stars. Every time he searched for stars, it was an improvement in Taoism.Seeking stars seems to have nothing to do with tool making, but it is watching people and watching stars, and the combination of people and stars. The truth contained in it is even stronger than the research on tires in tool making.

But ever since he found out that very few Taoist masters can successfully find stars and become masters of stars, Ren Daoyuan became interested.Whether this phenomenon is related to the Taoist's search for stars, he is still unable to judge for the time being.Before I can't figure out the reason, I really don't want to look for stars for others.

"Patriarch Yun, how old are you?" Ren Daoyuan asked instead of answering the conversation.

Yun Shang's face was astringent, he sighed softly and said: "Yun spent ninety years in vain."

He is 90 years old, which doesn't look like much, but after thinking about it, he knows that Yun Shang's age is not outrageous if he can reach the mid-level star rank.You know, Master Xing has a lifespan of five hundred years, and it is not too late to reach the mid-level star rank in 90 years.

Of course, this speed is calculated based on ordinary fighters, so monsters like Gong Zifeng and Huo Yujia don't need to be counted.One is a natural cultivation genius with a fifth-grade spiritual body, and the other is even more exaggerated, directly a ninth-grade spiritual body. Compared with such a monster, it will make people feel desperate.

"Patriarch Yun is well-informed, how much does he know about Taoists?" Ren Daoyuan asked, the knowledge of Qianzhou people is much higher than that of Qingzhou people. You can try to find out from Yun Shang. After all, Yun Shang is a star-level powerhouse and has lived for nearly a hundred years.

"Taoist?" Yun Shang was slightly taken aback, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.This Taoist Ren is too weird, you are the Taoist, okay, you actually asked me a warrior, how should I answer this question?
"That's right, it's the Taoist." Ren Daoyuan was so full of thoughts that Taoists couldn't find stars to advance, he didn't notice Yun Shang's weird expression at all.
