Chapter 504: Cultivating Blood Essence
Lan Xian's brows furrowed, and he said very unwillingly: "The Scarlet Church has been hiding the recipe of the purifying blood, and is unwilling to tell us the secret of the blood healing, but secretly it is secretly transporting goods with the Far Eastern Dynasty, and now the supply of materials is not available, and the ball is kicked to us again... It's just maggots sucking blood from the tarsal bones! ”
Edward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "The problem now is that there is no Blood Essence Grass, so can we just find a way to get the Blood Essence Grass?" Ah Bao is just the boss of Ah Bao's caravan, and if he dies, he will die, and we will send an envoy to negotiate with the Far Eastern Dynasty, and we can buy it with a lot of money. ”
Perseus snorted irritably, "How can it be so simple? Not to mention how to calculate the account after Po's death, why did the Far East suddenly cut off all trade with Dogulander? They said on the surface that it was because Po's death was unclear, and they had to investigate the cause first and temporarily suspend business. ”
"Actually, it was the Scarlet Church that leaked the news, and the Far East knew that their Blood Essence Grass was a necessary material for purifying the blood, and deliberately cut off the supply, wanting to see Dogurand fall into a dilemma!"
Everyone was silent.
There is no friendship between countries, only interests.
Previously, Doguland and the Far Eastern Dynasty were able to live in peace, but it was entirely because the Kingdom Army played a powerful role in the "Laurel War", which hurt the Far Eastern invaders, and the other party had to sit down and talk to you.
And now, Dogurland is facing the resurgence of the bestial plague, and the Far Eastern Dynasty has the lifeblood of the Blood Essence Grass in their hands, and they are kind enough to help you get through it? Wish for the moon!
I am afraid that the government and the opposition in the Far East are waiting for Dogurand to collapse, and then maybe the Far Eastern Army will take advantage of the chaos to make trouble and start another war.
Even if the Far East is really willing to lend a helping hand to Dogurand, it is definitely not gratuitous, and the price to be paid for this kind of negotiation that pinched people's lifelines, and Dogurland's subservience will be unimaginable.
"We don't seem to have a choice...", Balldian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, shook his head, "we can't afford to let the beast disease break out, we must find a way to get the blood essence grass... Send someone to negotiate with the Far East, and exchange the supply of their Blood Essence Grass for as little as possible, and the matter has come to this point and can only accept fate. ”
Yuan Wen sneered: "What do you mean by accepting fate? Directly slaughtered? Could it be that the Far East offered us to cede half of the country, and we agreed? ”
Bao Erdian did not show weakness, and secretly poked and poked and counterattacked: "Lord Yuanwen is well-versed in the past and the present, and he must be able to come up with a perfect plan for the kingdom, why don't you tell us what to do?" ”
"Ha, I'm just a scholar of the royal palace and a minister of law, and I have studied literature and legal codes, and this kind of crisis management is not my strong point." In this kind of meeting, Yuan Wen still looked lazy, he drank tea casually, and the conversation changed, "Of course, I do have an idea in my heart, but before I say it, I want to hear the other person's thoughts. ”
Yuan Wen looked at the second seat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said meaningfully: "Archon Chino, I am curious, as the person with the lowest official position but the most mysterious origin present, what good plan do you have for our situation?" ”
Chino was checking the exchange items for the Triple Shackles "Respect System" at this time, trying to find the Blood Essence Grass.
If you can redeem it directly with respect points, the problem becomes much easier.
However, there is no such thing as Blood Essence Grass in the Honor System.
Chino closed the triple shackles, took a sip of tea, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Yuanwen is so knowledgeable, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, why do you need to listen to my opinion?" ”
"You can turn the tide and exonerate yourself in the plenary meeting, and in a situation like this, I think you should have a way to do it." Yuan Wen looked at Chino with interest, and there was a bit of mystery in his voice, "How about this?" You and I write down our thoughts on a piece of paper at the same time, and then turn them over together to see if you and I agree on the same opinion. ”
Chino couldn't help but chuckle, this Yuan Wen is really an old naughty boy, and he has to sell Guan Zi to make this whole show at a critical moment.
Pertheus knew Yuanwen's character, but now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't afford to be leisurely, so he hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, although there are still four months left, time is like sand in your fingers, and it will disappear soon." ”
Chino didn't talk nonsense, picked up a pen and wrote four words on the paper, and then turned the paper over and covered it.
Almost at the same time, Yuan Wen also finished writing, turned the paper over and covered it.
The two pushed the paper into the middle of the table, met eye contact, and then flipped it open at the same time.
Two pieces of white paper, with different handwriting, but there are four words written without a single difference: Cultivating Blood Essence.
"Hahaha!" Yuan Wen let out a hearty laugh rarely, and directly crumpled the piece of paper he wrote into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, ignoring the meaning of others, and left straight on crutches, "Some people see the same thing, so I don't need to spend it here, let the young man deal with it." Your Majesty, farewell. ”
Persius was stunned for most of the moment, and didn't come back to his senses until Yuan Wen went out: "It's not... He's..."
Yuan Wen's temper is notoriously eccentric, and he has always gone his own way, and no one can stop him, and Perseus has no choice but to sigh and let him go.
Pertheus then took the piece of paper written by Chino on the table, and muttered, "Cultivating blood essence... What do you two mean that the Far Eastern Dynasty doesn't sell it, and we will grow the blood essence grass ourselves? ”
Chino nodded: "Blood essence grass, I have seen in books, this plant only takes two months from sowing to grass. Your Majesty, did the Crimson Church tell you how much of a shortfall they currently have in the need for Blood Essence Grass? ”
Pertheus said without thinking: "There are 12.54 million infected people in the epidemic areas in the kingdom, and according to the minimum specifications, 12.54 million purified blood is needed every month, and each purified blood requires half a catty of blood essence grass to refine, that is, 6.27 million catties of blood essence grass, 6,270 tons. ”
Chino put his hand on his chin and thought: "6,270 tons, according to the cultivation method and average yield of Blood Essence Grass, if you want to harvest it in full at one time, you need at least 100,000 hectares of fertile land. ”
Bao Erdian said tentatively: "The land of Doguland is vast, and it is not difficult to free up 100,000 hectares of fertile land. It's just like this..."
Lan Xian quickly picked up: "Seeds are not a problem, a few years ago, when we exchanged national gifts with the Far East, the other party gave us a lot of seeds of heavenly and earthly treasures as a collection, including blood essence grass, the amount is definitely enough." ”
Chino nodded and continued: "Then the difficulty now is the cultivation conditions of the Blood Essence Grass - this kind of natural material and earth treasure grows in the land of spring all year round, and cannot withstand the drastic changes of the weather; It can only be cultivated with fertile laterite, and no other soil quality is acceptable; Half of the daily light and half of the night's time, neither more nor less. Three conditions are indispensable. ”
Chino walked to the edge of the conference room, opened the hanging map of the kingdom's topography, and pointed to one place: "In the entire kingdom of Dogulander, there is only one place that can meet the above three conditions at the same time." ”
