With the continuous increase of the number of people in Yuxi City, many things can no longer be done by Li De himself.
But the current Yuxi City cannot be completely separated from Lide for a long time, because there are many things here that only he can play.
For example, now Lide spent a lot of money to buy out all the "devil's blood" from Nanyang merchants-that is, the black viscous liquid that made people completely confused about the use of their minds. Since the priests in the temple determined that this kind of thing is related to demons and is an ominous thing, mining in Nanyang has also been completely suspended. It wasn't until Yuxi City promised the merchants how much they would charge, that many merchants who were not afraid of death began to smuggle such materials into Yuxi City.
Most people are afraid to avoid the blood of the devil, so this thing is very cheap in Nanyang, but because the distance between Nanyang and Yuxi City is relatively long, the cost of transporting this batch of goods is not uncommon. As buckets of devil's blood piled up in eighteen warehouses in the northern industrial base, Yuxi City was also spending money like water during this period.
He Yue complained to Lide twice, but she didn't stop Lide's wayward behavior. Li De said he wanted to buy it, and He Yue would mobilize all the working capital on hand to do it. What Heyue was thinking about was how to lower the price, and how to connect this matter with Anbu, so that the Nanyang merchants' delivery of goods to Yuxi City would be kept as secret as possible.
After all, large-scale acquisitions of extremely evil things that have been rumored to the outside world will not only damage the reputation of Yuxi City, but may also attract the attention of other territories. It's not that easy anymore.
Under He Yue's meticulous arrangement, Yuxi City's move did not cause any disturbance. Many people even thought that those merchants were dealing with the demons, and Yuxi City was just a gateway to collect tolls. The blood of the devil can only be used by the demons, and this explanation seems reasonable.
So what is the use of these black viscous liquids that are piled up in the warehouse of Yuxi City
When Heyue signed a long-term contract with the merchants and Yuxi City had a stable supply, the Chief Minister of Internal Affairs, who had recently spent money and was distressed, couldn't help but took Lidra to his room and sat opposite him. Ask in a low voice.
Seeing that Lide looked serious, he looked around carefully to make sure that no one was eavesdropping; then he went to the corner of the wall and blew out the candles in the room. In the end, he sat back beside He Yue in the dark, rolled his hands up as a microphone, and said leisurely in a voice that only two people could hear beside He Yue's ear:
"I don't know~"
He Yue was so angry that she couldn't help throwing Lide to the ground, sitting on him and pinching his face frantically.
In the end, Lide's cheeks turned red from being pinched, and he added a sentence after a long time:
"Just kidding. Although I know something, I don't really want to talk about it. The specifics need to be studied at the North Industrial Base. If the research is clear, these things are endless treasures. If the research is not clear, these things are useless at all. What I can do for them is to prepare these things in advance, and how much value they can bring out depends on them. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.”
Although she didn't particularly understand, He Yue accepted Li De's statement.
She trusts Lide very much. Although Lide is not a good person on weekdays, he never really jokes about the interests of Yuxi City.
As for Lied, he knew exactly what he was doing. What he gave to the northern industrial base was a set of research methods, and at the same time pointed out a research direction for them. If the northern industrial base cannot achieve the desired result under such circumstances, then Lide will not directly throw this result to them. This is the same as raising one's realm. Eating all kinds of natural materials and earth treasures is indeed helpful for raising one's realm, but if it is only supported by these things outside the body, it will not take long for the realm bubble to appear, and it will all collapse once it collapses.
Especially in this extremely critical technology, Lied hopes that researchers can make breakthroughs themselves.
He believed that one day those guys would be able to do it, so he ranked Yuxi City's most elite troops [Xuanjia Battalion] in the second battalion, Wangdong Battalion was the third Battalion, Shaoyu Battalion was the fourth Battalion , the first battalion at the forefront has never been finalized. This point also caused speculations in Yuxi City. Only Lide knew in his heart that the name of the first battalion had been chosen long ago, but he had never had a chance to use it.
It was a name that was once known to every household in Li Deyuan's world, [Shenji Camp].
When he first came to this world, he had analyzed how useful firearms would be in this world. At that time, he felt that the effect was low, so he was too lazy to do it. The reason is very simple. There are mainly two types of protection for soldiers in this world, one is the protection of the territory, and the other is the protection of the military formation. weapons. This has led to a result. Although firearms are useful in small-scale team battles, when encountering thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy troops, the opponent's armor has been stacked very high, and it is difficult for muskets as long-range weapons. It caused effective damage, and the effect was not even as good as the magician's round of bombing.
But after he took charge of Yuxi City himself, Li De still had the idea of making firearms a few times.
Not to mention that weapons such as incendiary bombs and artillery can cause damage far beyond the scale. In terms of the richness of arms, arming such an army can also achieve various unexpected effects. Coincidentally, oil was extracted in Nanyang this time, and Li De simply bought a lot of it in one go, and handed it over to the northern industrial base for research.
If it is successful, it will be the credit of the northern industrial base. If it is not successful, let Fang Shisan continue to expand the army step by step according to the old method.
In the darkness, He Yue gently rubbed Lide's cheeks, Lide was acting good-looking after taking advantage of it, lying on the ground crying for pain and unable to get up. He Yue could only lean forward to blow on the pinched and sore place on his cheek. But in the dark, He Yue couldn't see the distance between the two of them clearly. Li De moved a little, and He Yue's lips touched Li De's cheek.
Obviously both of them felt it, but neither of them moved, tacitly maintaining this posture.
There was a faint fragrance coming from He Yue's body.
After a long time, Lide could hear He Yue whispering:
"Going to Lingwu this time is more dangerous than the last time you went to the king. Be careful, the most important thing is that you live, and there is still a lot of work waiting for you to do."
He paused, then said:
"Also, although the other women are pretty, don't just hang around there, remember to come back and be with us."
It took Lid a lot of effort to understand who she was talking about, and he almost laughed out loud for a moment.
Although he had never met Lord Lingwu and didn't know why Bai Huang's eyes lit up every time he mentioned that woman, he felt that he would never have any further relationship with that woman in his life. The reason is very simple, although he often wants to hug his thigh, but the purpose of hugging his thigh is to make himself live comfortably, which Lord Lingwu can't give him at all.
