Chapter 423 Calculation
When he heard someone calling him uncle, Li Qi immediately realized something. He straightened his appearance, coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then said, "Huh? Is it Geng Sang?"
Geng Sang, full name Geng Sang Ye, Geng Sang is his surname.
At present, he is the person who has recently contacted Li Qi in Luofu Mountain. He is a sixth-level Taoist, has good combat power, practices inner alchemy, and has a solid foundation. He is also decent, flexible, and trustworthy, so he is Granny Mei was sent to contact Li Qi.
As for Granny Mei herself, Li Qi has never met this old woman until now.
She is still at Wushen Mountain, it is not easy to see her, and Li Qi is not free for the time being.
But judging from the other party's actions, Granny Mei... should have no problem with her. After all, she personally extracted the aura and took action.
Thinking this, Li Qi looked at Geng Sangye: "What's wrong?"
This Taoist priest is dressed very classically. He is wearing a Taoist robe. He looks about thirty years old and has a goatee. He looks smart and capable. He is slightly taller than Li Qi and has clear eyes.
Geng Sangye stepped forward and said: "Uncle, this batch of Holy Flames has arrived. There are 40 million in total. The increase in production is much more than the production of the Southern Continent this season. The main reason is that the population of the Holy Flame Realm has recovered. Not bad. During this period, there have been more than 60 million newborns. Their agricultural production capacity could not keep up, so they chose to hold large gatherings and began to actively produce large amounts of holy flames, so they wanted to exchange these holy flames for some agricultural technology. Master Yang Ning has already agreed."
With that said, Geng Sangye handed over a sixth-grade cave heaven.
It's the one sent by Lingxiao Flower God.
Currently, this sixth-grade cave is responsible for Li Qi's truck, and all material exchanges with the Holy Flame Realm rely on this thing.
Of course, the running part was left to the people from Luofu Mountain.
As for Shen Shuibi, now that she has returned to Chang'an with Li Qi, the Holy Flame Realm no longer needs her to keep an eye on them, so they are currently living an ordinary life in Chang'an.
The affairs of the Holy Flame Realm have been completely handed over to Yang Ning.
Although she has a bad temper, Li Qi absolutely believes in her IQ and her heart for Luofu Mountain, so there is no problem in leaving it to her.
"Well, this kind of thing can be decided by Yang Ning himself. As for agricultural technology... what Yang Ning decides to use? Farmer's method?" Li Qi asked.
"No, the real person is going to use the art of praying for rain in exchange. The Taoist sect also has the method of praying for rain and controlling water. With this, places like the Shengyan Clan, where the only local practice is martial arts, should usher in a wave of agricultural output." Geng Sangye said.
"Okay, just ask Yang Ning to be careful and not to be too exploitative, otherwise it will only cause the Holy Flame World to become weaker and weaker. In the end, she will lose. Only a strong Holy Flame World can produce enough Holy Flame. This After the batch of newborns grow up, it will be easy for a continent to have hundreds of millions of Holy Flames in one quarter. If the Holy Flame Realm achieves external expansion, it will be possible to have one billion in each quarter," Li Qi warned.
"Real people also know these truths. Don't worry, uncle. If the things are delivered, I will leave first." Geng Sangye handed over his hands and prepared to leave.
"Geng Sang, walk slowly. By the way, how much have you earned during this period?" Li Qi asked again.
"In terms of income, there are probably three sixth-grade worlds, which is already a lot. After all, it has only been a year or two, and the benefits generated by the magic silkworms are still quite amazing, but... the tableware market is not big. If it continues, probably There will be no big breakthrough." Geng Sang thought for a while and said.
"That's right, then I understand." Li Qi nodded and watched Geng Sang bow and leave.
Li Qi weighed the cave sky, then put these holy flames into production, and then handed the empty cave sky to Geng Sangye.
Everything is so orderly.
Come in this direction,
This is life, everything goes well and there are not so many unexpected changes.
It’s just that the tableware market is already saturated.
Wizard Silkworm, with the help of the power of the Holy Flame and the Zajia's ideological indoctrination technology, has successfully expanded its production capacity by more than a thousand times, and can even continue to expand.
But the problem is that the essential reason why Wu Qi Silkworm can do these expansions is that ‘someone will buy it’.
Nowadays, production capacity has been expanded thousands of times, and costs have been suppressed. However, there is no point in continuing to expand. It will only cause the accumulation of products that cannot be sold.
After all, this is the only part of Chang'an's tableware market that Li Qi can rely on to occupy in a short period of time with the help of Flower God.
However, Li Qi was not prepared to make tableware all the time. Things like Wu Qi Silkworm should not always provide Shangyuan with plates and spoons. Sooner or later, they would have to do other things.
Li Qi had already made plans in his mind, waiting for his studies at Imperial College to come to an end.
Leaving quickly and walking a distance, Li Qi finally returned to the courtyard in Chang'an.
However, what is different from the past is——
There are people in the courtyard and there are lights.
"I'm back." Li Qi opened the door and said.
"Ah, you're back." Shen Shuibi was in the room, not standing up, but just looking up and smiling.
Two people talking meaningless words, it was just an ordinary day.
She was still compiling the formation in her hands, but she had no choice. This was a major project that was likely to last for hundreds of years, and she couldn't delay it.
Doing one thing continuously for a hundred years may sound simple, but when you actually start, you will find that it is actually quite difficult.
Li Qi rolled up his sleeves and took off his formal gown. He changed into a loose indoor home clothes and sat down: "It's getting better and better now. It's only been a short time. If you convert it, three sixth-grade worlds have been paid in. The efficiency is very fast, but there are some bottlenecks." Li Qi sat down next to Shen Shuibi and said.
"It's already very fast. There's no need to be so anxious. Many low-grade disciples have received your favor. At least... they are free now." Shen Shuibi stopped the work in her hands and said so.
This made Li Qi frown: "You paid off part of the debt and then... sent them away?"
After Luofushan had income, the choice was to pay off some of the debts of low-grade disciples and then send them away?
Luofushan still thinks that he will be wiped out, right? He has already left a legacy in advance.
"It's just insurance. There's nothing special about making a few preparations." Shen Shuibi said so.
"In fact, Granny Mei had this plan before, and wanted to start buying some property again, but we didn't do it before because of our awkward status and it was difficult to leave the cave. Now that we have you, we have a reason and won't be questioned." Shen Shuibi approached Li Qi.
Luofu Mountain is not a fool, and naturally knows what to do right, but without Li Qi, it is really difficult for them to start.
Even now, when they do things, they still use the name of "Li Qi", which is the banner of the Master of Wushen Mountain. They are working for a Master of Wushen Mountain, and this Master of Wushen Mountain is also the son-in-law of Luofu Mountain.
In this way, many things in Luofu Mountain are "natural" and there is no danger of usurping.
If they do these things alone without Li Qi, it will be unjustifiable and difficult to move forward in various places.
"Indeed, it is always good to make more preparations. I just hope everything goes well. By the way, regarding the recent bottleneck, I feel that it came too quickly. If it remains like this, it is simply nonsense to repay the debt, so I thought of a way." Li Qi said.
"There is no need to be so anxious, right? The efficiency is already very high now, and there is no need to pursue rapid expansion all the time." Shen Shuibi advised: "It is also good to develop slowly and accumulate foundation."
"But my idea basically has no threshold and does not require any investment. I feel that I can give it a try. What if it succeeds?" Li Qi said to Rabbit.
"No threshold...? I don't think there will be such a thing, but you should still tell me in detail." Shen Shuibi was slightly stunned after hearing it.
No threshold, no investment, and can continue to expand production capacity.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Rabbit did not believe it.
But Li Qi gently uttered two words: "East China Sea".
"East China Sea? What business opportunities are there?" Rabbit looked a little puzzled. She did not understand what Li Qi was planning.
"Tang State is fighting with East China Sea. What do you think about us supplying goods to the East China Sea front?" Li Qi said.
"Bidding is very troublesome, and it is difficult for us to provide enough products in a war of this scale. This is unrealistic." Shen Shuibi shook her head and pointed out the impracticability.
Compared with the magic weapon assembly line of the Mohist School and the Way of Reason, the production efficiency of the witch silkworm is not worth mentioning at all. The efficiency of that thing is so high that the magic weapons are pouring out in millions.
Only this kind of thing can arm the army of the Tang Dynasty. In a war of this intensity, the number of participants is "billion", and all of them are at least nine-grade to form a large army to be qualified to go to the battlefield. The battlefield is divided into "world groups".
Li Qi has only read about such a war in books and has never seen it in reality.
But just imagining it can give you the answer.
Countless worlds sounded the horn.
The top strategists who are wise and strategizing play against each other, mobilizing hundreds of millions of people to run around.
Taking world groups as units, hundreds of thousands of world groups are connected by powerful people in the void to form a battle line calculated in light years.
The flames of war ignited between the stars, and one world after another was annihilated. Even from the far distance outside the endless domain, one could see clear traces of light in the darkness outside the domain.
The seemingly insignificant traces of light were actually the most terrifying battle in the entire outside domain. Even if ten million suns exploded at the same time, it would be difficult to reach one percent of this light.
Li Qi was not worthy of participating in such a battlefield. He and his witch silkworm were not even qualified to supply goods.
Billions of magic weapons would be shattered in it every minute and every second. With Li Qi's production capacity, it would be more appropriate to stay in Shangyuan to sell tableware and lanterns.
Not to mention, he still needs to bid, with performance, production capacity, and price.
His cost is much higher than that of the magic weapon assembly line. How can he win the bid?
So Shen Shuibi didn't think Li Qi could supply the front line at all.
"No, my lady, you are thinking about it. Who is going to supply the Tang Kingdom? Why don't we supply the East China Sea?" Li Qi said with a smile.
Shen Shuibi's pupils shrank and her expression changed suddenly.
She understood what Li Qi meant.
Smuggling? !
How dare he? !
If he sold to Donghai, he definitely would not sell the witch silkworm, because Li Qi must have known that Donghai did not care about the witch silkworm at all, so it would be useless to sell it to Donghai.
In the final analysis, the witch silkworm, which was not efficient and could only produce the seventh-grade magic weapon at most, was not suitable for use in such a large-scale war, and neither side would use it.
Therefore, if he went to supply Donghai, he would definitely not supply the witch silkworm.
Then Li Qi's purpose is clear at a glance.
Use the excuse of supply to smuggle!
Is this called no risk? This is simply asking for death. If this matter is exposed, will the magic weapon silkworm business in Chang'an continue? I'm afraid I will be banned on the spot!
"How can this be done? If this matter is confirmed, our business in Chang'an will probably be wiped out. The Tang State will never tolerate duplicitous people." Shen Shuibi immediately objected.
"What are you thinking about? Do you think I will be that kind of person? Besides, even if it is smuggling, we can't hide it from Chang'an. What I want is to 'visit' the East China Sea." Li Qi said.
"Visiting the East China Sea?" Rabbit tilted his head, confused.
Visit what?
What's worth it...
etc--
She seemed to understand.
Rabbit was not a fool. Looking at Li Qi's expression, she seemed to have thought of something.
"Eat both ends...? You should wake up, the water is too mixed, something will happen if you step in." Rabbit's expression became more worried, and he grabbed Li Qi directly.
On Li Qi's side, he nodded.
Yes, this is his plan.
Be a spy, or... a double agent.
"I just let everyone think that's it. I go alone and don't need to do anything, and someone will come to buy the magic weapon silkworm. This is what I said, tacitly, there is no risk, and no investment is required. "Li Qi said with a smile.
His plan was simple. He would go to the East China Sea and then do nothing.
Naturally, many people will begin to doubt and test.
Whether it is Chang'an or the East China Sea, someone will come to test Li Qi, and testing naturally requires bait. As the saying goes, throwing a stone to ask for directions, what Li Qi wants is this 'stone'.
For those who are qualified to get involved in this war, the bait alone is enough to fill Li Qi's stomach.
Li Qi didn't have to do anything. If he did, it would be a mistake. As long as he traveled there, he would be able to eat this food naturally, and no one could criticize him.
What a wishful thinking.
However, Shen Shuibi sighed:
"Cheating and cheating is not the right path, and you will definitely pay the price." Rabbit shook his head and said with a serious expression: "It seems like you don't have to pay anything, but it is more dangerous."
"There is no way. The current production capacity cannot be expanded, and the formations that can tear apart the world groups are not available for the time being. It is impossible to expand its power outside the territory. We have to do something, or else just wait for time to pass?" Li Qi said.
Rabbit didn't understand: "What's the harm in waiting? It's only a hundred years at most. These hundred years will pass by in a blink of an eye. There is no need to go to the East China Sea to take risks."
