Chapter 648

Wei Yuan waited at the border early. I saw smoke and dust rolling in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, with great momentum. The roar of giant beasts was like thunder, coming from afar, one after another.

The volume could be heard from dozens of miles away, this is clearly a Dharma Form giant beast, and it is a group.

The Azure Void defenders have all seen big scenes, and immediately stood ready in the bunkers, preparing for battle.

Amidst the roar of giant beasts, a steel chariot rushed out of the smoke and dust, slamming into the ground like a mountain, even if Wei Yuan stood far away, he could truly feel the tremor.

With a high-pitched and wild roar of a giant beast, the chariot covered with barbs on the outside lifted up, and twelve thick and powerful hairy legs stretched out from below, then swung their strides and ran away!

The chariot was like a real giant beast, running wildly all the way to Wei Yuan, the hairy legs stepped on the ground to brake, but the huge inertia still pushed the chariot forward for more than ten zhang, and the thick hairy legs plowed deep grooves on the ground, only then did it barely stop.

The raised wild sand instantly swept over the fortifications of the Azure Void guards, and gave the defenders inside a dirt bath.

The top cover of the chariot opened slowly, Tianyu probed his upper body, waved to Wei Yuan excitedly, and then his huge body rose into the air, twelve little beautiful Shamans carried him and jumped out of the chariot, landing steadily in front of Wei Yuan.

Tianyu opened his mouth and said: "How about this new mount of mine with twelve drives?"

Wei Yuan was speechless and asked back: "Are you talking about that big guy over there, or these little beautiful Shamans under your butt?"

"Hehehe, it's all the same, no distinction!" Tianyu smiled honestly. At this time, another earth-shattering roar of a giant beast came from the chariot, pulling the momentum to the full.

Only then did Wei Yuan discover that the beast roar came from a Desolate tribe warrior with an exceptionally loud voice. He was sitting behind the chariot body, specifically responsible for roaring.

Tianyu explained: "This car, to be enjoyable, it must have sound waves, speed is not important. This is my professional-level sound wave, that guy is usually responsible for battle roars in the tribe, it's not cheap a day!"

Before Wei Yuan could evaluate, he heard Yu Zhizhuo praise from afar: "Good car!"

In the blink of an eye, Yu Zhizhuo came to Tianyu's new chariot, circled around the chariot, watched the details carefully, and specially reached out to pinch the chariot's big hairy legs, his mouth making sounds without stopping.

Tianyu was so happy that he immediately regarded Yu Zhizhuo as a soulmate, although he did not know who this person was.

After watching carefully for a long time, Yu Zhizhuo said: "Good idea! I have been worrying, those mechanical parts, engines and the like are too delicate, no matter how you deal with them, a little magic power shock will not work. And the power is soft, there is no strength at all.

Now that I have seen this car, I understand that we cultivators are the best engines, we don't need those mechanical things at all!"

Wei Yuan knew that this uncle's old problem had committed again, so he let him study, turned to look at Tianyu, and asked: "What good things are there this time?"

Tianyu said happily: "The ancestors in the tribe said that you are now resisting the monster from beyond the sky in the Hidden Cold Realm, that is our own Shaman. So I specially brought a seed of an ancient mysterious plant as a congratulatory gift!"

As soon as Wei Yuan heard it, he had a big head.

Tianyu had sent so many spiritual plant seeds before, only one seaweed seed survived, and the rest were completely motionless. For example, that stone had been proven by Yu Zhizhuo to be a stone. Although it was once an immortal plant seed and still retained a trace of rhyme, in the words of the world beyond the sky, it should be called a fossil now.

Seeing Wei Yuan's disapproving look, Tianyu hurriedly made up for it: "This time it's really different, this was taken from the ancestor's private treasure house!" Then, Tianyu asked people to carry over a stone ball the size of a tabletop.

It's a stone again...... Wei Yuan thought in his heart, knowing that he should not have too much hope for ancient things. Even immortals cannot live out of ancient times, how can these things without spirituality?

However, trade is the big thing, these can only be regarded as small episodes.

Tianyu brought a thousand warriors, carried hundreds of cargo trucks, and brought a total of ten million catties of goods. Wei Yuan also prepared wine and hundreds of thousands of pieces of brocade.

Just when both sides were busy moving goods, Tianyu said: "There are plenty of gray stones, and a new mine of thunder sand has been discovered. And the spiritual wood you want, a tribe ten thousand miles to the west produces spiritual wood, they are very willing to exchange spiritual wood for brocade. These will be sent to you soon, the elders asked me to ask, what else needs us to do?"

Wei Yuan calculated the recent and future trade volume and said: "I think it is necessary for us to build a road between the two clans."

"Build a road? What is that for? Our warriors don't need roads, where can't they jump?" Tianyu was full of doubts.

Wei Yuan explained: "Thunder sand, gray stones, and spiritual wood are all very heavy, your warriors are limited in number, and the cost of letting them move things is too high. After the road is built, cargo trucks can pass, and then let ordinary Shaman people transport goods."

Tianyu's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes! Ordinary lower people don't cost much money, and slaves are enough to give them a bite to eat! These goods don't require strict transportation time, just transport them slowly! The money to hire a Dao foundation warrior is enough to hire five hundred ordinary lower people."

The current Tianyu is quite sensitive to costs, Wei Yuan misses the silly and easy-to-cheat force Shaman back then. Wei Yuan said again: "Our trade is becoming more and more frequent, there is no need to wait for both sides to be ready before trading. We can set up an account book in our two places, and we can agree on a quantity for various materials. Below the limit, you can transport them to me, and I will do the same. Then we only need to reconcile the account once a month and settle the equal part, and the excess part will be transferred to the next month, what do you think of this method?"

"Very good!" Tianyu's eyes shone, and he instantly saw the huge business opportunity in it.

"Then how much brocade do you intend to want?" Wei Yuan asked.

"The more the better!!" Tianyu answered without hesitation. Then, Tianyu asked back: "How much gray stone, spiritual wood, and thunder sand do you want?"

"The same, the more the better." Wei Yuan responded with a smile.

At this point, both sides were happy.

Then, Tianyu and Wei Yuan discussed the details of road construction. The trade route will lead to the Red Sand Oasis, and to allow ordinary cargo trucks to pass smoothly, it must bypass some dangerous places, so the total length is nearly four thousand miles. Excluding existing roads, one thousand five hundred miles still need to be built. Tianyu waved his hand and directly contracted one thousand miles of road construction, and Wei Yuan only needed to build five hundred miles.

This matter was discussed, and Tianyu suddenly said: "After the road is built, the Shaman army can quickly reach the Azure Void. You must build defensive fortifications in advance, our Desolate Ancestor is just a small tribe, and there are some things we cannot be the master of."

"Rest assured." Wei Yuan reached out and patted Tianyu on the shoulder, although Tianyu was carried by little beautiful Shamans at this moment, the shoulder position was at a height of one and a half zhang.

At this time, Tianyu did not understand that the road does not naturally belong to one side, whoever has stronger military force, it belongs to whom.

!

After sending Tianyu away, Wei Yuan decided to build fifty new workshops to double the production capacity of machine brocade.

Now that the monster from beyond the sky is pressing on the border, Wei Yuan must accelerate the integration of resources from all sides to improve the overall strength of the Azure Void as much as possible, and this requires a lot of manpower, both mortals and cultivators are indispensable.

Under the existing system, mortals have no value in the Nine Kingdoms, but the Azure Void has a manpower gap of at least several million. Relying on refugees to come spontaneously is far from enough. Wei Yuan decided to push Western Jin again to induce more refugees.

After returning to the Azure Void, Wei Yuan opened a special map.

There are several lines drawn by Wei Yuan on the map, each marked with different numbers. With the Azure Void as the core, the first line represents the area where refugees can spontaneously walk to the Azure Void. This line is one thousand miles east of Hanyang Pass, which is the farthest distance refugees can go out of the pass. The second line is the range where the Azure Void caravan can collect refugees on a large scale, currently extending to six thousand miles east of Hanyang Pass.

Within the range of the first line, after a series of operations by Wei Yuan, grain prices have risen by 50%. Although grain from other areas has flowed in, according to the calculation of earthly fireworks, the overall grain supply in the area has decreased by 20 million catties per year.

Calculated by 200 catties of grain to support one person in extreme cases, 100,000 refugees will be added each year. But in fact, refugees will not leave their hometowns when they are about to starve to death, so the actual number of refugees produced will be more.

Due to the increase in grain prices in this area, grain in the area within the second line will flow into this place, so a large number of refugees will also appear within the second line, and the Azure Void caravan will collect more refugees.

Although this method is a long-term plan, it is relatively slow to see results at present. The fastest way at present is to buy refugees from the powerful people in the Jin and Zhao countries.

As long as there is profit to be made, local officials like Cui Shutong will naturally come up with various ways to create countless refugees, as many as they want.

This method requires a lot of immortal silver, and Wei Yuan has been thinking about what to use to earn immortal silver. Brocade will make a lot of money in the future, but it won't work now. After the new workshop is built, Wei Yuan plans to increase the number of brocades sold to the eight counties of Ningzhou by double, and the price will be set directly at the cost line of the Great Brocade Firm, making those Great Brocade Firms fall into a dilemma of whether to produce or not.

The ultimate goal is to sweep away all the Great Brocade Firms, so that these places only produce mulberry silk and become the raw material suppliers of the Azure Void.

As for other money-making industries, in fact, looking at the halls of the Tai Chu Palace, it is nothing more than Feng Shui, elixir, magic tools, spiritual plants and spiritual pets, and those who fight with dead strength are the poorest.

After thinking for a while, Wei Yuan wrote the words "magic tool" on the paper. In this world of great contention, cultivator fighting is the most critical. No matter how poor a cultivator is, he can not eat medicine, can not have a Dao companion, but must have a handy weapon.

For a good magic tool, many cultivators are even willing to smash pots and sell iron.

After the plan was decided, Wei Yuan calculated the time, left the Azure Void, and went straight to the Northern Shanmen.

This trip is to pick up the senior sister to the Hidden Cold Realm, and secondly to ask the Ancestral Master Xuanyue for ways to deal with the monster from beyond the sky. The threat of the monster from beyond the sky is not a matter of one person or one place, since there is such a big thick leg as the Tai Chu Palace, how can Wei Yuan not hug it? Besides, it is easier to find obscure records about the Heavenly Abyss from past predecessors if Ancestral Master Xuanyue comes forward.

The journey was smooth, Wei Yuan relied on enough spray tubes, eight sprays on his body, the speed exceeded the Imperial View, and he arrived at the Northern Shanmen in just one day.
