Chapter 652

This is economics!

Only through circulation can prosperity arise!

Goods must circulate, and currency must circulate too.

So whether it's silk or porcelain, production never rises too high, because the Mengying Society controls output, always maintaining high profits!

Meng Ying and the fox girl Qing Ling now think things through with remarkable thoroughness.

The two of them—a human girl and a fox girl—though young, are already two highly competent queens.

And also the most worthy holy maidens!

The first cart of silk has already caused a sensation.

Immediately after, the cover of the second cart was lifted.

More silk!

But this cart of silk has some differences.

Soon, these people learned where the differences lay.

The distinction in weaving techniques when processing raw silk.

Different weaving techniques produce silk with different effects, each with its own unique character.

The third cart, fourth cart, fifth cart… all the way to the fourteenth cart, all were silk.

A full fourteen carts of silk!

And the weaving techniques of these fourteen carts of silk were completely different.

Some silk clearly suited for making dresses for girls.

Some clearly suited for men.

Some looked exquisite.

Others looked somewhat ethereal.

Still others were vividly colored, stirring the hearts of many women watching.

"How many gold coins would it take to buy this?"

Someone murmured.

One chi costs one hundred thousand gold coins!

And here, there's no telling how many chi of silk there are!

Of course, these fourteen carts of silk won't cause silk to depreciate.

The silk market is enormous.

In the Eternal Night Empire, a viscount's estate typically holds several million gold coins; some even reach tens of millions, rivaling the former Snow Earl of the Xiling Kingdom.

Nobles of a great empire are simply this wealthy.

Even a baron, if he grits his teeth, can afford a single silk garment.

Of course, given silk's limited production, a baron might not even get one.

But the Eternal Night Empire has no shortage of nobles.

The former Xiling Kingdom had several thousand nobles.

Based on Xiling Kingdom's population, one noble existed for every three thousand people—roughly the ratio in most human kingdoms.

This ratio is also a safe one.

The Eternal Night Empire is smaller, but how many people does it have?

The number of nobles in the Eternal Night Empire is immense.

Moreover, many merchants and officials are also quite wealthy, making them potential consumers.

Thus, the silk market is, in fact, enormous.

Even at such high prices!

Not to mention fourteen carts—even one hundred and forty carts wouldn't cause depreciation, because the market is always here!

But fourteen carts of silk have already stunned the surrounding crowd.

Immediately, the fifteenth cart was opened.

Inside were vast quantities of porcelain!

These porcelains formed an entire series.

That is, identical patterns and colors, appearing not only beautiful but also, due to their uniformity, offering a distinctly different experience in use.

"Porcelain! So much porcelain!"

The crowd erupted again in shouts and exclamations.

"Look! These porcelains are even more exquisite than Duke Victor's—oh my, where did they come from?"

A noble observed with meticulous attention.

Immediately after, the sixteenth cart was opened.

Again, porcelain—but a different series.

The previous series was the Flower Language series.

This one is the famed Blue-and-White Porcelain series from Lin Yan's previous life.

Blue-and-White Porcelain exuded elegance and grandeur, unmistakably superior; many nobles stared, spellbound.

To own a full set of such porcelain would be such a powerful display of status.

Moreover, such porcelain stirred genuine affection.

At this moment, these nobles suddenly found their own gold-plated tableware utterly unappealing.

And immediately, the seventeenth cart was opened—again porcelain, but yet another series: the Ink-Wash Painting series.

Then came the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth cart...

A total of ten carts of porcelain, each cart carrying a different series.

The ten carts of porcelain made some nobles unable to resist stepping forward to ask the price.

Fortunately, they remembered these were He Li for the Emperor — not for sale.

"So beautiful, I wish I could own a set. If I could buy such a set of porcelain, even spending a million gold coins would be worth it."

A viscount said, rubbing his hands.

This showed how extremely excited he was.

Because he had finally found something to display his identity, status, and refinement.

To bring out such a set of porcelain when entertaining guests — how glorious it would make him look as host!

Beside him, Duke Victor wore a bitter smile.

He had gone to great lengths to acquire just one set of porcelain.

Yet others had simply brought ten different series.

And in beauty, they far surpassed his.

His spotlight was completely stolen.

Though his spotlight was stolen, Duke Victor could only accept it.

Duke Victor did not know of the Flame Empire.

But the airship flying overhead, bearing the flame symbol, already revealed the ownership of these forty carts.

It was a gift from a being at least of Legendary rank, given to the Emperor as He Li.

Though he was a grand duke, Duke Victor's family had no Legendary being.

Some Gao Jie magicians held noble titles, some did not, for they might not care.

But one thing was certain: most Gao Jie magicians were richer than dukes.

"I wonder what's next?"

The onlookers watched with great delight, eagerly anticipating the next carts.

Then the twenty-fifth cart opened.

"Whoa!"

Those around him let out another cry of astonishment.

For on that cart lay a massive diamond!

The diamond was extraordinarily large — nearly the size of a fist.

"Is that a diamond? It's too big!"

Many cried out in shock.
