Chapter 294 State Funeral(1/2)
The entire port was cheering, and even the most composed people couldn't help but smile.
Liu Xinyu stood at the port, watching the giant ship approaching, watching the waves rolling, watching Zhang Hao walking step by step, her eyes moistened and even more excited.
When Zhang Hao spoke, Liu Xinyu suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Zhang Hao's hands. The excitement in her eyes could no longer be concealed: "Thank you, thank you!"
At this moment, Liu Xinyu was so strong that she couldn't think of anything else to say. She could only be excited, holding Zhang Hao's hands tightly, and she was filled with gratitude.
Liu Xinyu is strong, and her methods may be called ruthless, but she was able to ascend to the throne and become emperor step by step not only because of her methods, but also because of her ability and mind. She is very aware of the past situation of Qixia Country, and she is also very aware of Zhang Hao
The significance of this action.
The figure of "635 tons of elixirs" echoed in her mind. This was twenty times the treasury reserves of Qixia Country in its heyday!
Moreover, most of the treasury reserves are Pui Yuan Dan, and they are still low-level. Liu Xinyu believes that what Zhang Hao brings back this time will definitely not be some low-level Pui Yuan Dan.
"Ahem..." Hu Yinglan reminded carefully next to her. Your Majesty, you are the queen after all, so be careful.
Liu Xinyu was generous, but there was still a little unnatural flash in her eyes. She put down Zhang Hao's hands, took the scroll with both hands, and slowly unfolded it. The details of this transaction were densely recorded on it.
The transaction records of more than 60 boxes of precious medicinal materials taken out from the treasury are very detailed, and every medicinal material is recorded.
Then there are the elixirs obtained in exchange for the black iron and steel from the Zhang family.
The total number is 635 tons, of which 217 tons belong to the royal family. How to divide the elixirs later will of course need to be discussed carefully. This is a topic for another time.
The most important thing right now is cheers!
This is a victory, which is completely different from the victory of a city or a place, or the victory on the battlefield. This is a victory of survival.
From now on, the Kingdom of Qixia can truly control its own destiny.
More importantly, this is a victory for industry and commerce. No one knows how much pressure Liu Xinyu suffered from the decisions she made before.
Choosing industry and commerce was actually a helpless choice because Liu Xinyu saw the end of traditional rule; but Liu Xinyu didn't know what this new industry and commerce could do.
But now, Liu Xinyu knows. The entire industrial and commercial class of Qixia Country knows.
This simple voyage was an extraordinary success and opened up a new era.
So Liu Xinyu held Zhang Hao's hands excitedly, and everyone was only envious, but didn't feel anything was wrong. What if Liu Xinyu's cold handling was the problem.
Today is a day of cheers. Liu Xinyu simply ordered to celebrate on the spot; we will discuss anything tomorrow.
The octopus monster's tentacles made a contribution again. In Feng Zhiling's heartbroken eyes, Zhang Hao dragged out a tentacle more than thirty meters long and held a seafood feast on the spot.
The rest of the seafood is of course obtained from the sea. I just bribed King Silver Horn, and it’s nothing to just catch some ordinary seafood. In the eyes of the sea monsters, these ordinary seafood are like weeds in the eyes of humans, not even coarse grains.
.
The lights on the shore stayed on all night. The lighthouse that had just been lit not long ago cast a colorful light on the shore. The colorful light shot straight into the sky. At night, it could be seen clearly from hundreds of kilometers away. A colorful light was like a sharp sword.
They usually stick straight into the sky and are particularly eye-catching.
On this night, representatives of more than thirty trading firms from the East also gathered together to enjoy the cheers of the Qixia Kingdom and feel the burst of joy from the Qixia Kingdom.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was busy keeping his feet on the floor, and there were people toasting everywhere; even if Zhang Hao only drank a little for each person, he was still drunk in the end, walking with a dangling hand, and was carried by Zhou Jue and thrown next to Zhou Xueyao.
Seeing her lover being treated so rudely, Zhou Xueyao glared at her half-drunk brother who was also drunk.
Zhou Jue had advanced cultivation and thick skin, so he laughed and continued drinking. Now Zhou Jue is the shareholder representative of Dayang Group, the chairman of the Weapon Refining Association, and the country’s Minister of Household Affairs. This Minister of Household Affairs has been transformed from the Secretary of the Household Department.
Those who come here are not responsible for population, but responsible for finance.
The country of Qixia has just begun to change, and there are many imperfections. This can only be changed slowly.
It wasn't until dawn that Zhang Hao opened his eyes in a daze. He turned around and saw Zhou Xueyao meditating next to him, taking care of him all night. A small barrier was placed around him, and five pills were placed under him.
box. There is also a hill made of boxes behind it, which contains more than 600 tons of elixirs from this transaction.
Zhang Hao looked around and saw that there were still people cheering. From a distance, he saw Feng Zhiling still looking for someone to fight for a drink, drinking till the sky.
Dugu Junjie is the most distinctive. This guy is lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, holding a wine jar on his chest. The ground is still wet. Next to him, Chen Yansong is holding a long sword to protect him, and he doesn't know how to find a piece for his young master.
Boards, quilts, etc. were used as cushions. Zhang Hao's teeth were sore for Dugu Junjie just looking at him.
There were drunk people everywhere on the beach. Only Liu Dingshan and Taoist Master Mingxu were floating in the air, covering the whole place, and playing chess.
Zhang Hao turned over, lying on his side, and looked at Zhou Xueyao intently. Since he started studying chemistry and made achievements, Zhou Xueyao began to regain the elegance, nobility, and confidence that Zhang Hao had when he first met him.
A simple, white long skirt is enough to set off the faint fragrance, just like a snow lotus.
There is a small alchemy furnace in front of him. Misty water mist often appears in the alchemy furnace, and a little fragrance floats.
"Wake up." Zhou Xueyao slowly opened her beautiful eyes, avoided Zhang Hao's fiery eyes, lowered her head, her noble figure showed a little joy and tenderness, "I made you some soothing soup, you can try it."
Zhou Xueyao said as she took out a small jade bowl and poured out half a bowl of amber-like crystal clear liquid from the alchemy furnace. "Stay up half the night, it's just right. You just came back from the sea and drank half the night of wine, which is bad for your body."
There will be some impact.”
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Xueyao and saw Zhou Xueyao holding the jade bowl, but Zhang Hao held Zhou Xueyao's hands. Zhou Xueyao's face turned red instantly and her hands were hot.
"Others...are watching..." Zhou Xueyao murmured softly.
"Ahem..." A reminder came from outside the barrier, and Zhou Jue stood beside him with a cold face.
Zhang Hao laughed, picked up the jade bowl and drank. A warm spring flowed into his internal organs, and the fatigue of the past few days was wiped away. Zhang Hao lowered his head and whispered in Zhou Xueyao's ear: "Thank you, madam."
Zhou Xueyao's face turned even redder, but there was a hint of joy and happiness in her eyes. She lowered her head and slowly put away the jade bowl and the small alchemy furnace.
Zhang Hao came out of the barrier and saw Zhou Jue's sour eyes. His brother-in-law snorted coldly: "Zhang Hao, please take it easy. The first person the Queen is looking for this early in the morning is you!"
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, this is nothing. Shouldn't Liu Xinyu look for him? You must know that although all the elixirs have been moved ashore, they are still not distributed.
Liu Xinyu waited until now to speak, which is already commendable.
When Zhang Hao came to Liu Xinyu's side, Liu Dingshan also came over. Seeing Zhang Hao, he nodded to Zhang Hao. As the Supreme Emperor of Qixia Kingdom, he should now be called the 'Emperor Zeng', Liu Dingshan also had a good impression of Zhang Hao. Yes.
Zhang Hao saved the country of Qixia and opened a road of hope for the country of Qixia.
When Zhang Hao met Liu Xinyu, Liu Xinyu was in front of the scroll that Zhang Hao had given her yesterday. Liu Xinyu was carefully checking the boxes. There were many officials busy around.
During the auction, Zhang Hao priced the elixirs based on high-grade spiritual stones. Later, he used the spiritual stones to purchase elixirs. There was a conversion process. Therefore, the purchased elixirs were all mixed together.
There are 635 tons of elixirs in total, and Liu Xinyu needs to select the 217 tons that the royal family should have. This selection process has been going on all night. Liu Xinyu looked at those high-end elixirs, and what was revealed in his eyes was... possessiveness!
After Zhang Hao arrived, Liu Xinyu showed a bright smile on her face and asked with some concern: "Do you have a headache? Seeing so many people toasting you last night, I was a little jealous."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. In fact, they also wanted to toast to His Majesty, but they did not dare to approach because of His Majesty's majesty." Zhang Hao smiled faintly. There was a small trap in Liu Xinyu's caring words. But Zhang Hao
I can now handle it skillfully.
After a short pause, Zhang Haocai continued: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, starting from today, the country of Qixia will no longer be trapped in a corner. The whole world has already unfolded in front of us.
This time, a total of 32 trading firms came with the ship, most of them from outside the Fertile Continent."
"Hmm..." Liu Xinyu put down her work, thought for a moment and asked: "Are these people coming here to take a look, or do they want to establish a stable business relationship?"
"From what we have seen so far, they still want to open a new trade route. Many of our country's medicinal and spiritual materials are what they need.
But they are still a little worried for the time being and want to see whether our country has the ability to maintain routes or even open up routes."
Liu Xinyu nodded: "What suggestions and plans do you have?"
"I'm going to wait a few days to let them visit the Zhang family's shipbuilding base. In these two days, I will temporarily evacuate some important technical equipment. Huang Mingshan told me last night that the keel of the second steel giant ship has been
It's laid.
This giant steel ship under construction should give them strong confidence.
Time...after the state funeral."
Liu Xinyu nodded and suddenly asked: "Zhang Hao, how do you divide these pills...?"
Zhang Hao has a black line on his head. This is the greed of the little woman. Liu Xinyu’s words are full of greed and malice. But Zhang Hao has been prepared: "Your Majesty, according to the current ocean development support plan, ocean transportation
Yes, no tax is collected for the time being. Besides, this is also the territory of the Zhang family.
In addition, for the elixirs entrusted by His Majesty to be shipped by Dayang Group, Dayang Group needs to charge one-third of the service fee.
But...for this first trial transaction, I will cancel one-third of the service fee on behalf of Dayang Group."
Liu Xinyu stared at Zhang Hao, a certain light flashed in her eyes. But Zhang Hao looked at each other calmly. He would never flinch from his own interests.
Zhang Hao must use his influence to establish a solid technological monarch for the future of Qixia Kingdom. His power must be limited and unbridled greed cannot be allowed.
After a while, Liu Xinyu's face calmed down and she snorted softly, "Zhang Hao, Duke Zhang, I'm wondering if I'm too tolerant to you? Should I call you 'Iron Duke'?"
Zhang Hao broke into a cold sweat: "No, it's because of His Majesty's tolerance that the people are more active. This is everyone's favorite monarch."
"Hmph. Then, you can divide the pills this time!"
Zhang Hao did not take the scroll and said directly: "Your Majesty, if you want me to divide it, I will sort out all the elixirs, and then divide each elixir according to the proportion. Dayang Group will get 418 shares, and Your Majesty will get 217 shares.
.
Some rare and precious pills will be distributed according to 2:1. Your Majesty may suffer a bit from the ratio, so I am going to allocate a few more Infant Transformation Pills to Your Majesty."
Liu Xinyu didn't say anything, and just looked at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's classification was quite satisfactory, but it obviously did not satisfy Her Majesty the Queen. What I want is not quite satisfactory.
Zhang Hao added without changing his face: "However, considering the needs of national development, on behalf of Dayang Group, I will take out half of the precious elixirs in exchange for some medicinal materials in the treasury at the original price. I also ask for your permission."
"Yes!" Liu Xinyu made the decision simply, with a smile on her face.
In fact, there were too many elixirs traded this time, especially many high-end elixirs, which must be controlled, as this is related to the foundation of the country. And Zhang Hao was not prepared to keep many, whether it was the Zhang family or the Dayang Group.
To be continued...
