Wei Ying was very satisfied. Old Qin was willing to dispatch the old army of Yongdu, which shows the importance of this battle. Everyone knows that the strongest military power of Qin was not in Liyang, but in Yongdu, because after Yiqu annexed the northwest Rong, the whole country led from the Longxi Plateau to Longdong to build a city and expand the country. At one glance, the foundation of Lao Qin was in the Wei River Basin and the Shandong countries. The Rong tribe, who both farm and pastoral, was the most terrifying. They would establish bases and could ride horses at the Central Plains at any time, and even Wei would have a headache. In order to ensure the fundamental land, Qin did not mobilize this semi-professional army even during the Battle of Hexi.

The old army of Yongdu is the most elite warrior in Qin. They do not need to be produced and raised by serfs. They have distinctive armor and weapons, and do not need to prepare themselves. Many of them are from old clans and have a natural sense of belonging and honor for Qin. They will bully Yongxi's serfs fiercely, and even treat them as humans, but will shed the last drop of blood for Lao Qin at a critical moment.

The military investment required to mobilize this elite is extremely large, basically three times that of the "garrison of troops". One month of war, it will cost millions. Old Qin is not ready to live? Wei Ying looked at Ying Lian in confusion. What he was worried about was not that Old Qin was poor, but that Old Qin hid a treasure that he did not know. On the surface, he was bitter and cold, but that he was rich in the world. Duke Mu of Qin was once one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, so he must be guarded.

"The King of Wei doesn't have to look at me like this. In the battle of Hexi, Old Qin spent a lot of money. Now, unless I am willing to issue a 'recruitment order', I will not be able to raise millions of military funds..."

Ying Lian looked at Wei Ying with a smile. This old opponent looked very much like the old Marquis of Wei Wu. The more you say you are poor, the happier he will be. You can't help but show your demeanor. Anyway, Wei is not short of money. After becoming a general, the madman Pang Juan fought some meaningless battles everywhere and never saw that he was poor. He was a fool who didn't pretend to be poor.

When Wei Ying heard Ying Lian call him poor, Wei Ying laughed. It turns out that no matter how powerful your old Qin beast is, it is useless. A poor ghost is a poor ghost. In front of the Zhou angels, I still have the upper hand: "Duke Qin, since it is an alliance, Wei will naturally have the responsibility to help his allies. Let's do this, Wei will pay 500,000 yuan. Don't worry, you don't need to return it. I have always been kind, how can I bear to see the Qin soldiers on the battlefield with bare legs?"

"Haha, how can 500,000 be enough? Thirty thousand elite troops attacked Longdong, facing the elite soldiers of Yiqu. This battle will take at least more than a month, and it may take three million military funds to be enough."

"Duke Qin...Don't be greedy, 500,000 can't be more than 500,000. Although Wei State is rich, there is no endless gold and copper mountain to be excavated. Unless it is..."

Wei Ying looked at Bai Dong: "I have started to use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of Dr. Bai Wu. I have read the book "Youth Jungle" and it is all good things. But the best thing is 'printing'. It's a pity for Lao Qin to be limited to this method. If I can exchange it, it's worth it, not to mention three million, even five million yuan."

Bai Dong was slightly stunned. Wei Ying wasn't stupid? He could actually see the huge kinetic energy behind printing. This thing is not just about making money. If he monopolized this technology in one day, he could grasp the voice of this era in one day. If a hundred schools of thought want to publish books, which one should not seek the Bai family? Now the Bai family is strong and has to set up open and secret whistles every day. Even Jingjian mobilized many masters to protect him secretly, just because he was afraid that various countries would have different intentions and wanted to spy on printing technology. Fortunately, although Lao Qin was not a strong country in the world, he was not weak. Even a powerful country like Wei Qi, he could not even imagine what he could see with a secret spy.

"The King of Wei is out of here. Our country has promulgated the "Invention Patent Law". The printing technology is obtained by the public losers. Then it is transferred to the Bai family for free, so even I cannot spy it at will unless it is agreed by the doctor Bai Wu."

Seeing Wei Ying looking at him, Bai Dong smiled and said, "Wang Gong. Dong heard that a true gentleman would not take away what others love. Printing is what Dong loves, so he will not be used for exchange. Moreover, the Wei Kingdom has a strong academic style and talented people have come out on behalf of others. Such a means of promoting literary affairs is more suitable for staying with Lao Qin; but if the king is willing to give tens of millions of military resources, Dong will give something to the king." As he said that, he took out a small sheepskin bag from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Ying, which contained the purified salt.

Wei Ying took the bag in confusion and asked the guard to take out some of the non-toxic tests before picking up some and putting them in his mouth. Just as Lao Ying Lian first saw the fine salt, Wei Ying was not very promising. When the fine salt was in his mouth, his face suddenly shook and he was extremely excited to send the fine salt to Gongshu Zhu: "The doctor is here to taste it too!"

Gongshuzhu and other ministers tasted it separately. Except for Pang Juan, who was only interested in fighting and killing people, the rest were all excited. Gongshuzhu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, these wonderful things are really worth tens of millions!"

Bai Dong glanced at her husband and uncle and was indeed not wrong. Wei was used to being a superpower. When encountering this epoch-making technology, he would only think about how much benefit it would bring to him. He would never consider the reactions of other countries, nor would he be worried about becoming the target of public criticism. Who has Wei ever been afraid of?

Wei Ying laughed loudly, and walked off the throne, and kindly held Bai Dong's hand: "What a doctor Bai Wu, what a disciple of Qingxi... I am very happy. Five doctors, your senior brother Pang Juan is a minister under my seat. Why don't you come to Wei State? Brothers and brothers are facing each other day, isn't it a joy in life?" He is going to poach, and he is swinging a hoe in front of Lao Yinglian.

Pang Juan is not a great beauty, so what do I do with him day and night? The time to show my loyalty has come. Bai Dong looked calm and shook his head decisively, saying, "Your Majesty, Dong is a Qin person. It is the water of Jingwei who raised me, and it is the porridge that feeds me to grow up. So I was born as an old Qin person and died as an old Qin ghost. I will never mention this matter again!"

Just this passage, the touching old Ying Lian almost shed tears. Ying Quliang looked at Bai Dong, his eyes full of colorful lights, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The five officials are really loyal ministers of the country. What's the good fortune for the young master?" Wei Ying nodded repeatedly, still holding Bai Dong's hand and refused to let go: "How can you teach me such a method?"

"Just wait until Wucheng returns to Qin and tens of millions of troops enter Qin's territory, Dong told Wei that this method will never go back on his word!"

This conversation was about the method of refining salt, but it did not mention the word "fine salt". Bai Dong and the kings and ministers of the Wei Kingdom were neither stupid. The more confidential this method was, the more valuable it was. There was no need to let Han Zhaohou and Zhou Angel hear it.

***

In Wei Ying's view, the State of Wei will undoubtedly take a big advantage by changing the salt refining method of Bai Dong. With this weapon in hand, it will take less than three years to control the salt markets of Shandong countries. In another two years, even the State of Chu will bow its head. As for whether Yan and Zhao will jointly increase the basic salt price and make Wei have no salt to refine, in Wei Ying's view, this is not a problem at all. It is just a matter of dare to disobey the overlord of the world and let Pang Juan lead his troops to fight directly. Anyway, fighting is his biggest hobby.

Wucheng was going to hand over, and tens of millions of military funds were to be sent to Qin territory. Pang Juan and Yingquliang and others planned to attack Yiqu. This took a certain amount of time. Lao Yinglian and Gan Long and other civil officials returned to Qin first, but Bai Dong had to stay and wait for the Qin State to send the news to the salt officials of Wei State. According to this salt official, Wei State had begun to secretly build a large salt field and was preparing to mobilize tens of thousands of slaves and thousands of troops to refine refined salt.

It seems that Wei Ying is very anxious. At this moment, he is probably already considering the plan to unify the world after conquering Yiqu. Bai Dong even doubts whether he would have calculated it wrong. Wei State is too powerful. The salt refining technique must not be the last straw for Wei Ying to completely crush the countries. Thinking that the Wei State in historical records will be prosperous and decline, Qin Qi generals rose one after another, and then he felt relieved that this era is still the balance of the world. Although Wei State is indeed powerful, a salt refining method cannot help it break the balance of the world. I really thought too much.

Accompanied by the young master, Heheng brought its "Yu Sister" back to Qin first. Now it is the Wucheng Order, and the divine beast is enfeoffed, and a grand ceremony is to be held. In the future, the Wucheng Order will no longer be able to sleep in the grass nest. He has to build a mansion, and Bai Dong has already planned it. This money is forever to win. A city is not for you to earn for free. If you should express it, it must be expressed.

There has been no news in China. Bai Dong was very bored and participated in several "military meetings". He found that he could not speak in front of a contemporary famous general like Pang Juan, and occasionally expressed his opinions. He also made Junjie's face turn red and finally got driven out.

Forget it, if you don’t participate, you won’t participate. If you get 10 million military funds, your mission will be completed. In the future, follow the army to conquer, just make some military achievements and make Lao Yinglian feel too guilty. If you have this time, it’s better to stroll around. Mianchi is the junction of Qin, Wei and Han, and the city is prosperous and the business trips are like clouds. Here you can see many things that you can’t see in the court.

With Nie Zhu's accompanying and protecting, Bai Dong walked around Mianchiguan City. He was very satisfied that the Bai family's pen, ink, paper and inkstone had been passed here, even "The Jungle of the Young School", and the price was even higher than that of Wenhua Supermarket. This place is full of profiteers... Should we follow the example of later generations and open a chain supermarket or something? It's a bit more difficult. In this era, all countries can wear pairs of pants today, and they may turn against each other tomorrow. When encountering war, there are still riots and bandits, which is too troublesome.

Before noon, a rumbling sound suddenly came from Nie Zhu's stomach. This guy was blushing? Bai Dong laughed and pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said, "This restaurant is unique, and it actually has a signboard. Well... Fan's restaurant, has it been learned from our Trademark Law?"

"It shouldn't be, the sign is engraved with lotus patterns, which means that this is the belonging to the world-famous Fan family. The Bai family in Qin, the Fan family in Qi, and the Chen family in Lu, are all famous trading companies in the world. Before you implement the trademark law, the Bai family in Yongdu is like this Fan family, and they want to display the signs."

"So that's it. I heard that Fan Li did not join Qi, and would continue to be his big businessman. Could it be that the Fan family business was his descendants who presided over it?"

Nie Zhu nodded: "That's right."

"That's interesting. I'm very curious about the Fan Family Trading Company. Let's go in and see if there are any famous Yellow River carp in the store?"

Bai Dong smiled and looked at Nie Zhu. This guy was probably hungry long ago...
