The Emperor of Yue was in a very good mood today, very, very good, beyond imagination. He finally found the weakness of the Shang Dynasty, and now the Shang Dynasty was helpless - at least that was the case.
This sudden attack by experts caused serious damage to the Shang Dynasty. Although the Shang Dynasty destroyed many facilities of the Yue State and planes continued to fly in the sky, the Yue State had already taken the initiative - at least the emperor of the Yue State and all the civil and military officials thought so.
As long as they persist, the Shang Dynasty will inevitably be dragged down. And in fact, it seems to be the case. The Shang Dynasty, which has been developing rapidly, suddenly broke out into an economic crisis. Li Yuanming personally gave a speech to explain the specific situation.
This is good. The fast-developing Shang Dynasty is like a carriage that hits a mountain and has begun to collapse. Haha, maybe it's time for me to prepare an elite army of masters to rob the Shang Dynasty and capture its technology, talents, etc.; if I can capture Li Xian, that would be a surprise.
In contrast, the Emperor of Yue State did not care about the destruction of domestic industries, docks, and transportation hubs. This was how they had survived in the past, and now they were just temporarily losing them. Moreover, the technology, key talents, and infrastructure were all there, so it would not take long to rebuild.
Everything is so beautiful!
…
The Emperor of Yue was dreaming of a great future, but the merchants of Yue were the first to feel the crisis. The one who felt it most clearly was the head of the largest group in Yue—Yue Zijing.
The largest group in Yue State is the 'Biyuntian Group', which is controlled by the Yue royal family; and the person in charge of this group is Yue Zijing, the adopted son of the Yue emperor.
Using adopted sons to control a large group without worrying about usurpation or loyalty is a common method used by the royal family. In fact, as long as the emperor himself is not too stubborn and is carefully selected and trained, most adopted sons are trustworthy. Yue Zijing is one of them.
Ever since he quietly took over the Biyuntian Group that year, Yue Zijing has been hiding behind the scenes. The outside world doesn't even know that the Biyuntian Group belongs to the Yue royal family. And Yue Zijing has been expanding the Biyuntian Group to the limit without even making use of his power.
Before the Shang Dynasty attacked Yue, Biyuntian Group's production capacity accounted for almost one-tenth of Yue's total; in terms of arms supply, it accounted for almost 20% to 30% of Yue's arms supply. The group controlled more than one million related personnel. According to the standards of the Shang Dynasty, the total assets of the group were estimated to be around 15 billion yuan/100 million taels of gold.
However, when the Shang Dynasty launched an attack on the Yue Kingdom, Yue Zijing was the one who could feel the changes most.
In just a few days, Biyuntian Group was almost paralyzed. But at the beginning, Yue Zijing was not too pessimistic, but as optimistic as the Emperor of Yue - we have so much accumulation, as long as we move a little later, we can recover.
However, just two days later, Yue Zijing frowned, feeling that he seemed to have overlooked something, as if a huge crisis was waiting for him.
This morning, Yue Zijing was thinking when there was an urgent knock on the door. The person who came in was Zhang Dexiu, the official president of Biyuntian Group.
