The Forest of Four Sacred Trees means more resources and opportunities. The lake water of the Central Tree Lake alone can allow an additional 200,000 troops to enter the New World.
The stone on the island in the middle of the lake has been preliminarily tested, and it is indeed a metal that can change its shape. It is not very hard, but it is extremely malleable and extremely strong. This also means that if its properties are added to new alloys, it will be possible to develop tougher armor plates. From battleships to individual soldiers, the defense will be qualitatively improved.
What restricts the development of large-scale war weapons in the Eternal Night World is not only technology, but also materials. Especially when it reaches the fortress level or above, it is necessary to obtain a series of characteristics by adding special substances. However, most of these special substances have no production scale at all, and many of them are discovered by accident, and the extraction process cannot be replicated.
In other words, the total amount of a certain type of special substance that people find in the world may only be enough to make one or two fortress weapons. If you want to make weapons of the same level next, you have to find other methods. Lines need to be changed. Therefore, the discovery of any high-end new materials is of great significance, and perhaps a new fortress weapon will come out.
The beast itself is a resource, and how to use the nest center needs to be studied. At the same time, the proportion of various raw ores in the forest has greatly increased. Almost every stone in the nest is a different type of raw ore. Maybe the strange beasts have the habit of collecting raw ore, maybe these minerals are beneficial to them.
All in all, almost every stone here is a treasure. So far, Qianye used the raw dark gold ore to pay the loan. Because of the exceptionally large supply, the price of the dark gold ore in the entire empire dropped.
Even if the price has dropped, the unit price is still very high, and Qianye's raw ore is basically picked up, so when Song Hui reminded him to consider the market supply and price factors, Qianye still sold a large amount without hesitation. In exchange for a large amount of arms and ammunition.
Now the ammunition consumption of Qianye's troops is extremely high, and often a single battle can wipe out the annual consumption of ordinary non-frontline legions.
Such a large amount of ammunition cannot be produced by Yonglu, and the black market is completely unreliable. The only stable purchase channel is Daqin, which makes a lot of families and firms engaged in the arms business happy.
On the one hand, they worked overtime to meet Qianye's needs, and on the other hand, they kept saying good things for Qianye inside and outside the court, in exchange for permission to sell certain sensitive equipment and ammunition, and to get more export quotas. The current Qianye is simply a black hole, no matter what kind of weapons and ammunition, as long as there are, he will take them all.
It wasn't that there were no voices of opposition in the court, and many people worried that Qianye's success would be detrimental to the empire. As for how many of them are simply worried about the rise of a new geopolitical power and impact on the existing structure, or are they secretly worried about the delicate relationship between Qianye and the empire, it is unknown.
However, these voices of opposition and questioning were drowned out by the turbulent waves in a blink of an eye. No matter what era, it is not ordinary people who can do arms business. They are extremely powerful, their relationship is intertwined, and they support each other. They have long been an extremely huge force. For example, the Yin family of Yinma, the Kong family, and even the Zhao clan are all representatives. There are even more numerous other small and medium-sized aristocratic families.
Since Yonglu's orders came in like a tide, the entire military industry system of the empire has benefited a lot from it. Although Zhao Jundu and Yue Lu also needed a lot of munitions and supplies, and the floating land was also a bottomless pit filled with unevenness, how could supplying the empire be as profitable as supplying Qianye? What's more, Qianye paid with rare ore, which is much more popular than gold coins.
That's all for Zhao Jundu, the progress in the New World is considered smooth, and he can also get rare minerals in return, but not as much as Qianye. But Yue Lu's side is a complete mess. The families have been beaten to the brink of misery, and they can't even pay the military salary. How can they afford the military equipment? They can only ask the empire for help, and they can only owe the money first.
This is not to say that several aristocratic families do not have private treasuries, but that they can pay on credit, so who would take the money out? Anyway, it has already been beaten like this, and the empire will be saved sooner or later, and it will not be worse.
As a result, those munitions tycoons naturally looked down upon the people from Yuelu and gave countless blank glances. Only when the liaison coordinator of the Imperial Army was in a hurry, would he forcefully stuff a batch of old goods to deal with the matter. Their most advanced workshops and the most skilled craftsmen are working overtime day and night, fighting non-stop for Yonglu's orders.
Naturally, the aristocratic families on Yue Lu were dissatisfied, so they also joined the ranks of attacking Qianye, but this time was different from the past, they received not only sympathy but also ridicule in the eyes of them in the court.
Losing land is a big mistake that shakes the foundation of the family. If it weren't for the special background of the new world, they would have been downgraded long ago. Besides, in front of Qianye and Zhao Jundu's achievements, it is impossible to say that natural disasters and manpower are impossible, and the word of obvious incompetence is placed on their heads, so the right of speech of the aristocratic families is naturally greatly reduced. After several times, the Yuelu family gave up the unnecessary struggle.
The so-called poor people have short ambitions, nothing more than that.
As for the white man, his attitude is intriguing. Qianye Ningyu Mansion became famous in the first battle, it stands to reason that the Bai clan should hate him to the bone and make things difficult for him. But the strange thing is, whenever there are matters related to Qianye, the white clan is noncommittal and doesn't say a word. This made many people who jumped out and hoped to get the support of the elites were puzzled.
All kinds of reasons were added together to form a huge wave of voices. After thousands of nights of various benefits, he regarded his pioneering in Yonglu as a great move that can be compared with the battle of Fulu. For such a feat, it would be unacceptable not to sell the equipment of dozens of divisions to Qianye.
The attitude of a group of arms tycoons in order to make money stunned many people. Even the Song Clan, who was famous for their merchants back then, also had to be elegant and calm, and their food was not so ugly.
But having said that, the Yin family and the Kong family are also one of the top-ranking families, their origin and inheritance are not bad, and they also cherished their feathers in the past. They all jumped out to speak for Qianye desperately, and even put on a look that they would bite anyone who disagreed. Those who opposed Qianye could not get any benefit from opposing Qianye, so they naturally died down and stopped making a sound.
Ever since, the whole court was full of praises for the development of Yonglu. Of course, the greatest credit should go to Emperor Hao. It is only thanks to the sageness of the Son of Heaven that such an unworldly minister as Qianye can be born.
As for the thoughts of the supreme being on the throne, the courtiers don't know. Emperor Hao treated this matter with the same attitude as most of the time when he made decisions on court affairs. Since the court meeting had a relatively clear conclusion, he ordered it to be directly recorded and handled.
And since Lin Xitang resigned as Marshal and the imperial military region was redrawn, the suppression of the Zhao Clan both inside and outside the government and the public has also weakened a lot. The eyes of many important figures all fell on Cheng Engong Zhao Weihuang.
With three generals in one family, such a grand occasion can only be compared with King Qingyang, the king of heaven in his prime who is still advancing by leaps and bounds.
But Zhang Boqian has no direct heirs so far, and Zhao Weihuang's children already have Qianye and Zhao Jundu two god generals, and Zhao Ruoxi's mastery of Manshushahua is even more special. In addition, the three brothers Zhao Junyi, Zhao Junhong, and Zhao Junsu all have excellent talents, especially Zhao Junhong, who is expected to break through the sky in the latest evaluation.
It can be seen that Zhang Boqian can't keep up with Zhao Weihuang in terms of children's achievements. Originally, before Qianye appeared, a large part of the achievements of the four brothers in Cheng En Gong's Mansion belonged to Princess Gaoyi. After all, Princess Gaoyi was rich in imperial blood, her mother clan was prosperous, and she was also a genius. However, the appearance of Qianye and his equally outstanding talent can clearly explain the problem. The source of his blood lies in Zhao Weihuang.
Therefore, no matter whether he wants to or not, Zhao Weihuang can take the title of the first breed of horse in the empire.
During this period of time, the number of people who came to the Zhao Clan to seek marriage suddenly increased. Zhao Junyi is already married, that's all, Jun Hong Jun Su only has a marriage contract at present, Xiao Ding has never done it publicly, so it is still possible to dissolve it. Zhao Jundu is naturally very popular, his basic damage is caused by external factors, his own bloodline is still the top, and his descendants must be very good. And Zhao Ruoxi has many suitors, and she is so annoyed that she hides in the yard every day and dare not go out.
Some quick-witted ones, seeing that the children are too popular, simply hit the source of their ideas, and actually wanted to persuade Zhao Weihuang to take a concubine! Of course, this is only private and cannot be made public, otherwise Gao Yi's face will not be good.
Behind sending money to their daughters, each family has only one request, that is, to send one of the children born in the future, regardless of gender.
This is simply blatantly treating Cheng'en Gong's mansion as a stud mansion, and Gao Yi is so angry that he is half dead. However, every family is full of smiling faces, and the small actions are private, and the number is too many. As the eldest princess, she can't open it up, so she can only politely refuse one by one. However, the fire had nowhere to vent, and it all came out on Zhao Weihuang's head.
Cheng Engong's face was serious, his heart was filled with joy, and he said to everyone in private: "What's the use of the king of heaven? These children, even if they really trade the king of heaven with me, I will definitely not change it!"
These words really offended all the heavenly kings inadvertently, so some chatterers immediately spread the word.
King Dingxuan and King Beiyue have closed their doors together recently, no one knows their whereabouts, so that's all. After Zhang Boqian heard the rumors, he stood still on the cliff and just nodded his head to show that he knew. These days King Zhiji has some free time, he listened carefully to the whole cause and effect, as well as the grand occasion of Zhao’s clan, but he didn’t comment, just stroking his beard and smiling, unfathomable, and made the courtiers who came to slander him terrified. Say goodbye quickly.
Until he left the palace, the court official was still pondering the smile of King Zhiji in his heart. After thinking about it, he always felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in Wang Zhiji's smile, and that feeling seemed to be happy and proud.
Happy? proud? The court official couldn't figure out why Zhao Weihuang was so happy that he was awarded the title of the first breed of horse in the empire.
But he didn't know that as soon as he left, the King of Zhiji ordered his servants to close the door of the mansion and thank the guests behind closed doors. size tool.
This set of soft armor is extremely small, and it is afraid that only newborn babies can wear it, but its workmanship is extremely exquisite, and every material used is extremely rare. The whole set of soft armor is composed of small arrays connected in series to form a large array.
Putting it on the table, the surrounding force will gather by itself, the pure dawn force will remain, and the turbid and dark force will be spit out, just like breathing, and the inside of the whole set of soft armor will gradually be filled with pure force.
Such an array can be called uncanny workmanship!
Zhiji Wang took out a nail leaf, picked up a tool as delicate as a needle, and began to engrave the array on it. This nail-leaf, which is no more than the size of a fingernail, is densely packed with many runes. With the power of Zhiji King, it took a full half an hour to complete the array.
He carefully put the last piece of nail leaf on the soft armor, stroked his beard and said complacently: "It seems that the craftsmanship of my youth has not been lost. With this fetish, my great-great-grandson of Ji Wentian will be able to practice immediately after birth." , You will be able to make some achievements when you are one year old. At this time, other dolls are still breastfeeding! Humph, Zhao Weihuang? Humph!"
But after thinking about it, King Zhiji finally felt a little unreasonable, shook his head, and said to himself: "Forget it, even Zhao Weihuang has some credit. Bah, a few points are too much, one point is enough."
