The airship can be sent quickly on the earth, but the pilot cannot be sent, so Li Cong must do everything by himself. Li Cong also read some news reports from the Western Empire. Under the guidance of Dai Lin, the transportation network of the Western Empire developed rapidly. Coupled with the formation of ground freight, now if the Western Empire has a leading transportation industry, it is probably Li Cong’s. This reason made Li Cong's position in the Western Empire soaring. In the past, Li Cong had to discuss something with Prince Yulin, but now things are not so simple. Prince Yulin seems to be no longer his own food. In the past few times, Prince Yulin prepared some different gifts for the things he sent Prince Yulin back. Such things have never happened before. The things he sent in the past have never come back. This is definitely the first time that this kind of gift has appeared. This not only surprised Li Cong, but also surprised Dai Lin, who often interacts with Prince Yulin..

Prince Zheng has basically replaced the original position of Prince Yulin. Prince Zheng’s influence in the royal family can be said to be unprecedented, because the four empires together will only become a tenth-level fighter, which makes the Western Empire royal family. Among the royal families of several other countries, they are able to improve their own face. If nothing else, this is also very powerful. Prince Zheng can be said to be a great contributor, although Prince Zheng Some of Li Cong's ideas were not very supportive, but Prince Zheng believed in Li Cong very much.This also gave Prince Zheng a very generous income. This did not coincide with the birth of one of Prince Zheng’s grandsons. Dai Lin took this opportunity to send some very good things to Prince Zheng’s Mansion, even if he was used to seeing the rich. The expensive Prince Zheng is also a little off-point, this Li Cong seems to be really generous.

"Master, you shouldn't refuse this gift. In fact, we didn't get these things deliberately. You know, our master's master is a great alchemist, and these pills are nothing to the king. The prince is well accepted." Dai Lin said with a smile.This time, Dai Lin didn’t know exactly what it was. The total value of some things such as gold, silver and treasure was only ten thousand taels of silver. He was just able to go up to the threshold of Prince Zheng’s house, but Prince Zheng looked at the box. The black meatball in here was immediately stunned.Dai Lin is also considered a ninth-level fighter.But he didn't know what this thing was.

"Haha. Xiao Dai, you don’t know what this is. You should say that, but I have to say something more. This thing is Xueshen Pill. This thing is the best healing medicine in the four-pronged medicine. The battle between me and the black magic potionist is to be honest, until now, my body has a lot of problems, and now I can only play 60% of my previous ability. If this is to rely on my own breath adjustment at home, at least It takes more than 30 years to recover 10%, but this little snow ginseng pill can directly restore my injury to 80% of the strength. It can be said that it saved me 60 years. In the past sixty years, you said how much wealth I can create, and after using this snow ginseng pill, it will be beneficial to practice in the future. This thing can be said to be needed by anyone who has been seriously injured like me. Such a thing cannot be measured by silver.” Prince Zheng really likes this gift from Li Cong, but Prince Zheng has been alive for many years, and he must know the representative of accepting this thing. The significance of this book will be inseparable from Li Cong in the future, and other book friends are watching:.

"Snow Ginseng Pills? This thing is really unknown to the younger generation, but the younger generation has heard of this thing in some classics. It is said that it is made from snow ginseng in the frozen forest for thousands of years. I don’t know. Is it the same as this one?" When Dai Lin heard this, he was surprised. When he saw the gift list, he was a little confused. I felt that Li Cong was really stingy. This is really not stingy. It is estimated that if all the gifts given by these people outside add up, it is impossible to have the precious pill in front of him. This is definitely the most precious gift.

"Yes, the one you saw is this thing. Some people say that the best pill is actually golden. In fact, in my experience, no matter what the color is, this good pill is the most effective. Okay, just like this snow ginseng pill, let’s not say how much snow ginseng is needed. As far as I know, there are only two or three people in the world. Although there have been five pharmacists in history, But I dare to guarantee that there should be no fifth-grade alchemist. If you ask such a person to make a move, I think that the value is less than one trillion taels of silver. You must never speak, and these people will not help you with this. "Prince Zheng's words definitely don't have a half-line preface. These things are so precious, especially this snow ginseng. At most a dozen of these things come out every year, not necessarily all over ten thousand years old. You must know that this thing is naturally the older the year, the better. There are a group of people in the frozen forest. If they find ginseng, they will never be mined. They will write down the coordinates there and then Keep this thing around, and other people will contact the buyer in the outside world. If a buyer says what year they want to buy, they just sold the news. When you dig it out, it’s your business. When something goes wrong, I can’t afford the responsibility. The snow ginseng for a hundred years can reach millions of taels of silver. For a thousand years, it will be more than 20 times. As for the ginseng for more than ten thousand years, it will be a hundred times. More than that.

Snow ginseng pellets require at least ten 10,000-year snow ginseng at a time. There is no other way. After all, this thing does not have any other raw materials, so it must be used in a larger quantity. It is only the medicine money for refining once. It is more than five billion taels of silver. This thing can be said to be impossible to succeed once. It takes at least three preparations of materials to succeed. With the skill of a pharmacist, this will definitely cost trillions of silver. No wonder Prince Zheng felt that this gift was a bit heavy.Of course he knew that only he had this, and naturally there was no such thing as the Great Elder Caobang. Not everyone could have such a baby..

"This thing is actually of no use to us, and we have not been seriously injured. Our young master has his idea when he gave this to you. You are the pillar of our empire. If a black potionist appears. You still need your old man to fight, so you should keep it for the people of the world." Dai Lin's slogan is really gone. With a few words of effort, this matter has risen to the height of the survival of a country. Said this.If Prince Zheng hasn't eaten it yet.This is a bit of an unavoidable responsibility for the common people in the world. Such words can be said by the upper echelons.

"Haha, that's fine, I am old and am eager to compete. In the past, I thought I might rarely meet opponents. This time I suffered such a big loss from these black magic potionists. If I don’t find this place to come back, it’s a very difficult idea in my heart. I have to finish all these things, and I will suffer from your stuff.” Prince Zheng laughed. Said.Dai Lin also smiled and nodded and said, but Dai Lin still felt that Prince Zheng seemed to have something in his words. How could he be so sure that there is no pharmacist above Rank 5 in this world, and that he said this as if he was a dying talent. That said, although Prince Zheng suffered a lot of trauma in this incident, it shouldn't be like this. He can recover within a few days after taking Xueshen Pills.

"I heard what network your Cao family firm is currently operating, and what is that?" Prince Zheng thought of some new information about the Cao family firm that the butler had told him recently.

"Hehe, prince, this is actually an idea of ​​our young master. Our young master sees that the current circulation of goods in the empire is actually at a not very advanced level, so our young master wants to build a whole empire. The transportation network is like we are in the capital now. If we want to go to other places, we can only go there by ourselves. This is no problem for the capable people, but for some ordinary people, they simply can’t do it. Yes, even the communication between the county and the county is impossible. Our young master wants to connect this with a carriage, an airship, and a merchant ship." Dai Lin briefly said about this, Prince Zheng I understand a little bit. Although the expression on his face still hasn't changed, the shock in my heart can't be expressed in words. This kid is really too brainy. You can think of things like this. If this is manufactured, it would have so much benefit. Li Cong does things that no one else can do. At least he hasn't seen other people can do this. Other book friends are watching:.

"Very good. If this wish can be realized, I think the whole society will be greatly changed." Because there are still many people who want to say something to Prince Zheng, Dai Lin didn't say much, so he went on. .

The Western Empire transportation network, this thing can be said to be a brand new thing. Many people, including people like Prince Zheng, don’t know what it is, but today Dai Lin talked to Li Cong about the transportation network. Prince Zheng knew what was going on. This thing is indeed a new type of thing, but it has a huge impact on the society as a whole. In the past, there were official posts, but they were only able to deliver some letters. Yes, there is still no way for big things. Besides, the official post is basically to transport some imperial things at a very fast speed, but that’s fine for private things. Those things are just for you by the way. The fees are very expensive, and security or anything cannot be guaranteed.

How are things transported between private individuals? We have to deliver them by someone. Not only is this a waste of manpower and material resources, but the most important thing is that there is no time delay. The logistics network created by Li Cong can be said Fundamentally, these problems have been solved. Although not many people know him yet, everyone will soon be familiar with this thing. Li Cong’s transportation network has spread to all parts of the Western Empire. It sounds good to be all the places, but most of the 1054 provinces in the Western Empire are still areas where airships fly. This land transportation has not yet started.

The more than fifty provinces in the south have basically opened up land transportation problems, which allowed Li Cong to recruit tens of millions of people as his employees.They are all very confused looking at the employee contract in their hands. In the past, the people here worked for the landlord’s family. Even if you were a long-term worker, it was your salary when you worked. If you didn’t work, it would be. If you don’t have anything, how could there be such a saying that you will be pensioned, but Li Cong’s enterprise has such a situation. From the day you start working, until you are 60 years old, you have There are two options, either to give you all your salary.As it is now.You will retire directly when you can’t do it, but at that time, the firm will give you one-tenth of your salary every month as your pension. The other is that now you just receive 70% of your salary, the firm will give you 70% of your salary when you are 60 years old.Of course if you can continue to work at that time.All the money will be given to you.The money you go to work will be calculated separately for you. This kind of thing makes all the staff dumbfounded, they can't believe that there will be such a good thing.Many people are still working when they are 70 years old. There is no way if they don't work. What do they eat?

The new policy has been implemented for four months. During these four months, most people have participated in the first type. It seems that it is impossible for the pension system to be promoted here. Many people do not. I believe that at that time, I did not create wealth for the Chamber of Commerce. How could they still give themselves money? Besides, if you deduct 30% of your own money every month, this is a bit too much, so you should not try such new things. , Do your own work, just take your own money, I don’t understand other things, and I don’t want to try, but most people have signed another five-year contract with the Chamber of Commerce They all feel that it’s good to find such a long-term stable job. They are all tenants in the countryside, and they don’t own land. If they do well every year, they will have a few ounces of silver left. Don't just look at these few ounces of silver. For them, a few ounces of silver are already considered not small. If they work well for these five years, they may have money to buy three or four acres of land..

In this society, Li Cong can understand what a small peasant economy is. Although these empires did not emphasize agriculture and suppress business, the status of merchants is not very high. Of course, they are different from large merchants like Li Cong. The status of such big merchants is much higher than that of some nobles. Most of the common people either have to take exams to gain fame, or they just clean up a few acres of land in their hometowns and live a good life. This land can be forever It’s your own. Doing this is the best thing. Many people think so, including the employees recruited by Li Congxin. They basically think so. They think so for five years. Many people think The thing is that this firm takes care of almost everything. During the five years I have been here, I can save more than half of my salary. This kind of work is definitely possible.

For example, for an ordinary horse-drawn carriage driver, his monthly basic salary is 500 coppers, which is five bucks. For other migrant workers, this amount of money is not a lot, but there are still a lot of miscellaneous incomes. Everyone on the road will have some fixed routes. If you have a short distance once a day, you will get 20 copper plates every day. If you work for 26 days a month, you will also get 100 copper perfect attendance awards. If you count it, you can get this one month. There are more than one or two silvers, and the firm stipulates that anyone who has worked here for a full year can receive an extra one or two silvers. The salary for the next year will increase by 10% from this year's basis, and the maximum is 50%. Other book friends are watching:.

This can be said to be the people with the lowest salary in the entire transportation system, and some high-end prices can be higher, such as those who take long distances or the person in charge of several vehicles. They are all very relevant or It is said that people with skills, if their income is more than three times that of ordinary employees, there is another reason why they come to Li from here is that Li Cong will give out some opportunities every year, so that they all become first-level fighters. Opportunity, this depends on their work performance. Of course, this will not be said to the outside world, just give them some hints. As for the extent to which they understand, it depends on their own brains.

In terms of inland shipping, the Chamber of Commerce mainly began to intervene in the Red River transportation. There are no merchant ships from Cao's Commercial Bank hanging on other rivers. This is not what Li Cong did not want, it is not so easy to do.Even if it becomes a partner with Caobang, it is not so easy. Among the millions of ships on the Red River, Li Cong already got one-fifth of the cooperation. Although most of them are contracted, for Li From the point of view, as long as you can drive up, this is a great success. No matter how you do it, you can make money anyway. Some communities along the Red River have begun to move closer to them. After all, some goods are needed. Smuggled.Smuggling on this land is really too difficult.It’s the best in inland waterway shipping, but Li Cong didn’t accept their surrender. At the beginning, it was a terrible thing to mix with these people. If they were chased out, he would be the only one who said no. clearly.It's better to be honest at the beginning.

Airship transportation can be said to be the fastest growing in the Western Empire.Each of the fifty largest cities in the Western Empire now has an airship takeoff point.For the dignitaries in these cities, they all like this thing very much. The greatest pleasure of their life is spending money. It is not known how many people dream of flying in the sky.In fact, only they can afford the expensive air freight. Just like two county towns in a province about 500km apart, if they were transported by land, it would take more than five taels of silver for more than ten days. The time is fine, but if you use an airship, you can get there in more than an hour, but the price is more than a hundred times that of land transportation. It only costs 1300 taels of silver. This is still a public seat, and some VIP seats are even more Expensive, you can get twenty taels of silver to transport a letter, not to mention a person, things can also be transported, of course, all must be collected according to weight, express delivery on the earth is fiercely competitive, and still earn There is not much money, but in this place, express delivery is one of the most violent industries, almost no different from grabbing money. At present, this is also the most profitable among Cao’s commercial firms.

Since the establishment of the Caojia Commercial Bank’s transportation network, the first big deal that Prince Zheng took over was to transport a large amount of tax and silver located in the entire empire to the capital for free. This kind of work was for Li Cong. The loss was huge, but the advertising costs were completely saved. People in the entire Western Empire knew that Cao’s commercial firm’s transportation was absolutely fine. If there were any problems, how could the Imperial Household Department escort the money? Give it to them, this one also made the Western Empire emperor very happy. In the past, half of the empire’s annual tax revenue had to be transported to the capital, and the remaining half were all in the warehouses of several big cities, good fellow Yes, this transportation fee alone has to cost billions of silver each year, and all this has been saved, and Li Cong also said that if something goes wrong, he will be compensated.

For them, this may be very troublesome, but for Li Cong, it is not a big deal. It is possible to use space rings to solve this problem. Now Li Cong can make hundreds of space rings almost instantly. , The space can be up to 300 cubic meters. If you make one separately, tens of thousands of cubic meters will be no problem. Each cubic meter of silver is 10.49 tons of silver. One cubic meter is 204,900 taels of silver, and one contains 300 cubic meters. A meter of space ring can transport more than 60 million taels of silver, which is definitely not a small amount.

For the imperial court, this thing can be said to be difficult to transport, but for Li Cong, it is also very simple. Of course, people who do not take genetic medicine should never wear this ring. Rings with a few cubic meters of space Li Cong doesn't want to take a risk if he can have hundreds of millions of dollars. When the time comes, the person who loses money is his own, so this seemingly heavy-duty business is nothing to Li Cong.

Although Li Cong was very happy to have won the deal, Dai Lin did some of the finishing touches. It is good to win the deal. You have gained benefits, but some of the original vested interests have lost a lot of money. Interested, people need their own subsidies. Originally, hundreds of thousands of officials from the Ministry of Households and the Upper and Lower Divisions came to do this. There were hundreds of thousands of escort officers and soldiers on the way they were transported. Now there is nothing to do. At least one hundred thousand people depend on this work to support their families. Now that the court no longer needs them, it has directly sent 800,000 people home. The remaining one hundred thousand people are enough to run this thing. It's just the central one, other book friends are watching:.At least tens of millions of people in the localities have been affected to varying degrees because of this incident. Most people have no life. They dare not spread this grievance on the court, but they dare to spread this grievance on Cao. Some people’s activities against Cao’s House of Commodities have appeared in various places. Fortunately, Dai Lin’s timely remedy, anyway, Cao’s House of Commerce needs a lot of accounting and so on, so I just treat them all. I have been hired to work in a business, and these people are still good at doing things, if you look for it outside.It may not be possible to find someone similar to them.

The treatment is better than before.Naturally, they don't have so many ideas. Although they are not happy one by one, they also have to eat. In the past, although the treatment was not good.But no matter how we are from the court, we are not.The treatment is better now.But they have become businessmen's buddies, but these people just have a little bit of grumbling, and there has been nothing for a while.They have to work hard. No matter how much they complain, they can't eat as food. They all have to take care of the overall situation. They don't just talk about it. There are still many people in the family who need to eat.

This may be because the pill that Li Cong sent over has its own use. If it weren't for the pill, it is estimated that Prince Zheng would not be so helpful. Prince Zheng also received the effect he needed. He did not often People who spoke at the court, now because of Prince Zheng’s words, the court has saved billions of silver and freed up so much labor. Many people thought that Prince Zheng was pursuing power for personal gain. At the beginning, they did not think that Cao Cao The people in the home business can do things much faster than those in the household department, but now it seems that they are really good. At this time, Li Cong’s income will also come. Yes, this is the word of mouth. The words spoken here are not the same as the words spoken by others. The words spoken by the common people may not have any credibility, but the words of the imperial officials are absolutely credible. The big families and some businessmen also started out one after another. Hand over your own transportation business to Cao’s house. For a while, Luoyang Migui, Cao’s house’s business was immediately full. Many people still need to find a relationship to get in, especially airships and inland waterways. Many people who go there in the month do not hesitate to give money to the people of Cao’s business in order to have a chance. In terms of land transportation, because of the low-price competition of the traditional escort, it is not so fast for a while.

Prince Hagen and a few people who wanted to do the right thing with Li Cong were doing bad things during this period of time. They teamed up with some people in the Caobang to give Li Cong a little bit more power to the inland waterway vessels. They have suffered enough. They never thought that Li Cong's fleet was all traveling in large formations. It is not so easy to pretend to be a pirate or something. If you hire a master to commit the crime, it is likely to be. It was obvious at a glance that they also wanted to use local officials to stop them, but Prince Hagen’s power was not that big, and the other three were even less powerful. Their interception plan took less than a month. Time is laboring for the people and money. In the end, Prince Hagen had to say that this is the end of this matter. We have no ability to stop the rise of Cao's House of Business. The Cao's House of Business is already a huge monster in the Western Empire.

The Cao’s House of Business has risen, and this can quickly expand their business. Many merchants with ships in the Western Empire began to feel depressed at this time. How could they understand the secrets of the Cao’s House of Commerce? It runs so fast. From the outside, it seems to be no different from ours. But why can people run? When there is no wind, they run faster than when we have wind. Such a thing It’s illogical at all. How did these guys do it? They don’t understand this, but their reaction is indeed the fastest. Now they are ready to sell their ships, and their ships are all dilapidated. Yes, it can’t be sold for a few dollars, but their procedures are very valuable. Now the ships of Imperial Shipping are fixed and will not increase easily, so their procedures are all valuable and started. At that time, it was just a hundred to sell. It was not slowly increasing. Dai Lin also felt that the money in his hand was not enough, so he quickly asked Li Cong to give him money.

Good guys, they charge 600,000 taels of silver for a boat. If a good boat can reach one hundred thousand, these one hundred and ten boats can still be dealt with. Now it is said that all the boats that want to sell to Cao's house There are tens of thousands of ships, and the money is definitely not a small sum.It’s no wonder that Dai Lin didn’t have enough money. Li Cong’s instructions came when he bought five thousand ships. We stopped the acquisition because we didn’t have so many transactions. We bought them twice a year on a regular basis. If you want to buy through an auction, this auction will not bid for a high price, but a low price. Anyone who has been checked can enter. The low price is 600,000 taels of silver, and the price is reduced by 5,000 taels each time. .At the beginning, many people felt that Li Cong was joking.They have never heard of such a thing. Most people at the auction have been there, but they all call high prices. They have never heard of low prices.Even Dai Lin felt that this method might not be attended by anyone.But Li Cong also gave this guy a peace of mind.These people still have some work to do, so naturally they don’t rush to sell the boats in their hands, but when they have no work to do, they have to support nearly fifty people on each boat.At that time, they might sell 400,000 silver, otherwise they would not be able to live. It may only be 300,000 in a few months, and maybe even 200,000. All of this Time and the market have the final say. Are you unwilling to sell?I don't want to buy it yet.

Although it was already detrimental enough, in order to speed up the acquisition, Li Cong immediately discussed with the royal family of the Western Empire for a short period of time. The royal family of the Western Empire can receive three billion silver consultant fees each year, and the condition is one , They have to set up a quality inspection department to specifically inspect some ships on the river, and let some not-so-good ship owners replace their ships within a time limit, otherwise the license empire will be taken back, which can remove those holding ships. The boss was frightened. They used to hope that they could keep the ship and see if it could sell for a high price in the future. They thought that as long as they were living in, they could be sold well in the future. Now the Empire Such a law has been introduced. They are gone. If they don’t sell it, they will have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a new ship. If there is a major return on the investment, they will naturally do that, but Looking at it now, there is absolutely no such thing. Although the number of people in the Imperial Quality Inspection Center is small, they are very troublesome. They are all aristocratic children. They will definitely ask for Li Cong's hundreds of thousands of silver tickets. Li Cong said, as long as they can get a ship to be replaced, they will immediately give them 3000 taels of silver. A ship like this on the Red River has to be worth one hundred thousand dollars. Isn't it a fortune? Money that is unimaginable for a lifetime. Every one of them is very hard to do. Not to mention that you are forced to sell your children and daughters. That’s pretty much the same thing. For a time, these ship owners are all idiots. Jumped.

These noble children may not be very good at doing other things. Of course, this thing is not absolute. Look, what people did in the Imperial Procuratorate was very good. Those who participated in the Li Cong auction on the first day The number of people has increased from 6,000 to 15,000, and the second auction will have to be opened the next day. In half a year, Li Cong has mastered more than 80% of the shipping on the Red River. These noble children It can be a great contribution. Without their help, it would take Li Cong at least nearly five years to complete this task, and it may not be done so well. Shipping can be done with the airship in half a year. It's even better than the airship. This is something Li never expected. The thousands of noble children also have what they need. Among them, the least money has to have hundreds of thousands of silver. There are at least a thousand people who can get Li Cong’s one hundred thousand dollars. These people can also be regarded as establishing a good cooperative relationship with Li Cong. Each of them can be said to have benefited a lot. The family behind them A lot of hard work was put into doing things this time. When he was on the planet rty, Li Cong knew very well how important it was to bring these noble children into his camp. Now it is really realized, their ability to do things. Very good.

It can be said that the Cao Gang is the organization that has suffered the most damage due to this incident. If there is no friendship between Li Cong and the elders before, I guess they might really have a fight with Li Cong. Li Congye I personally went to the Western Empire to discuss the future with the Great Elder. The Great Elder knew Li Cong, and he was very clear about what this would happen. Li Cong knew very well about his behavior, and he would definitely give himself an explanation. Before, many court officials came to Caobang to discuss future matters with the great elder. They all hoped that they could rely on the great elder’s Cao gang to curb Li Cong’s strength development, but the great elder rejected them. On this day, the senior officials of the Caogang saw Li Cong’s airship slowly coming over. They were envious. It was said that they were still in the Northern Empire a few days ago, and this is the Western Empire. Such things were never thought of before. Dare to think, if this is from the Western Empire to the Northern Empire, it will take a few months to go as fast as possible. If this is the furthest distance between the two empires, it will be possible in a few years, relying on yourself. His legs may not be able to go to other people's side in a lifetime. Now that he has the airship, he can do it in ten days. Such a speed is really unprecedented. People can achieve what they are today. , Is also the skill of others.

Something like Caogang can be said to be a non-governmental organization, or it can be said to be an unofficial organization similar to the official one. The main purpose of Li Cong's coming here now is to want Caogang to cooperate with him and to destroy Caogang in one fell swoop. It’s impossible. The Caogang has a big business. Although there have been many problems before, the influence still exists. During this period, there are also several Caogang opponents who want to replace them. All preparations are required. They were all dumbfounded, and they didn’t know how to do this. They knew Caobang, but they didn’t understand Cao’s house, but they were all named Cao Ke. It's clear that things that two tenth-level fighters can't do, they can do it. Such a person is not so powerful. Can they provoke it?So those guys began to retreat one by one, and they didn’t do anything to the water gang, because now the inland waterway is not in the hands of the water gang, even if they risk this or that kind of danger to solve the water gang, in the end they can What happened?Nothing can be obtained, so Cao Ke can be said to be the savior of the Cao Gang.(To be continued...)
