When he arrived at Song Zheng's study, Lie Beitao said: "It's not a secret, there are some industries in my subordinates' families, one of which is related to Mao Zhengdao's brother. ”

"My subordinates heard Brother Mao mention that the adults have some thoughts about the beast cultivation?"

Song Zheng secretly scolded Mao Zhengdao with a big mouth, how can this kind of thing be casually told to others? Lie Beitao saw his concerns, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, what my Lie family is doing in Jingshi is the business of beast riding.

The Tiger, Insects, and Rhinoceros were all raised by our Lie family for the imperial court. ”

Song Zheng was surprised: "The secret of domesticating and breeding beast horses has always been in the hands of the imperial court." ”

"Nominally, it's still so. Lie Beitao said: "But the imperial court ...... Adults also know what the situation is. Appoint traitorous ministers and crowd out meritocracy. More than a hundred years ago, there were no monks in the imperial court who could raise and breed beasts.

Since then, almost all of the beast horses have been arranged by several families in Kyoshi, with the imperial court giving money, and we are responsible for breeding and breeding. ”

Song Zheng nodded, these things may not be known if they are not in Jingshi.

"How many yuan jade do your beasts ride?"

Lie Beitao heard that he had intentions, and immediately became interested: "The Dark Tiger Insect Beast has a jade head of three million yuan, if the adults have all the armor and equipment, add another million." ”

Song Zheng asked, "Is this armor just beast armor, or does it include human armor?"

"It's all included. Lie Beitao said: "This is a very good price." ”

Song Zheng nodded: "What about the armored dragon rhino?"

"The armored dragon rhino has four and a half million heads, and it costs six million to complete them all. ”

This was Song Zheng's first thought, and he couldn't help frowning. Even if it is a tiger insect beast, four million knights, a thousand people are four billion! He plans to equip all the 1,500 demon races in the human world with fighting beast cultivation horses, that is, six billion.

If you want to be more powerful, you need to add another three billion.

Lie Beitao observed his words and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to form a team of fighting beast cultivators?"

There are many dignitaries and nobles who do this in Beijing, although it is not polite, but the rules of the court have long been corrupted, and no one cares about them.

In and out of the pro-army team with fighting beasts and horses, it was very majestic to open the way. He heard that Song Zheng was overbearing in Jiangnan, and he thought that this was also his plan.

Song Zheng hesitated: "The price is too high......"

No wonder the emperor did not cultivate military equipment, and it did cost a lot of money. In the eyes of the emperor, it was better to stay and have fun by himself.

Lie Beitao said: "Can you let your subordinates take a look at the team that the adults are preparing to equip them, because of the relationship between the subordinates, they know a lot about fighting beasts and riding horses, and they can give suggestions according to the adults' soldiers, which kind of riding beasts are suitable for." ”

Song Zheng nodded: "It's okay, please come with this official." ”

He's a little unsure, and it's best to have professional advice now. When Song Zheng went out, he ordered: "Let Shi Zhonghe and them get ready." ”

By the time they returned to the school again, Shi Zhonghe had already lined up with the five hundred human demon clans of the Taoyuan Secret Realm.

Lie Beitao was taken aback: "Five hundred?

Before Song Zheng could answer, another team drove over, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth. There were five hundred of each of them, and a total of fifteen hundred.

In the past few days, the demon clans of the five secret realms have arrived one after another, and Song Zheng is anxious to go north, but some things are not ready, and he can only temporarily suppress his inner anxiety.

Song Zheng nodded and replied, "That's right." ”

Lie Beitao was speechless for a while, and finally swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, bowed down and apologized: "The subordinates are out of shape, don't blame the adults." ”

His little heart is still beating wildly, fifteen hundred fighting beasts to cultivate and ride! This is a big business, the imperial court has not expanded its armaments in recent years, if he does it, it will be the biggest order of the Lie family in the past hundred years!

He and Mao Zhengdao are both the second ancestors of the Jingshi family, but his martyr's family is not as good as the Mao family, and Mao Zhengdao's temperament has always looked down on him. And he felt that Mao Zhengdao was a loser, unlike himself who was diligent and motivated.

This time Xiao Zhen gave him this errand, and he had heard from Mao Zhengdao that Song Zheng was interested in forming a fighting beast cultivator. It's just that the two don't deal with each other very well, and Mao Zhengdao only mentioned it to him without going into details.

He took the opportunity of the errand to take a look, thinking that it would be good to sell one or twenty heads, after all, there were not many people in a pro-soldier team.

I didn't expect Song Zheng's appetite to be so big......

He secretly looked at Lord Song, and said in his heart: It is rumored in Beijing that there are many local tyrants in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not false.

He didn't know that Song Zheng was worried about where to get these billions of yuan of jade. His gains from handling cases many times before, coupled with various hidden "filial piety" in the past few months, his net worth is indeed billions.

But these are mainly his first-level spiritual treasures.

After deducting these spiritual treasures, what can really be used is about 300 million. Let him use the spirit treasure to exchange with the Lie family, of course he is reluctant.

The imperial court only collected a total of 2 billion yuan of jade from the ten states of Jiangnan and Lingnan, but these were all levied from ordinary people, and the family sect only took out some symbolically.

In today's Hongwu Heavenly Empire, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. Any medieval family has more than three billion.

Fifteen hundred human demon clans arrived, and Song Zheng raised his hand to Lie Beitao: "Please." ”

Lie Beitao walked down, got closer to observe, and was even more surprised. Unlike being shocked by Jiangnan's financial strength just now, this time he saw a team with extraordinary talent and strength.

There are a full 1,500 people, and the average realm is ten realms! This level has already surpassed the most elite beastfighting cavalry troops of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty.

But what's really amazing is that almost every one of these people has the qualifications to be called little geniuses, without exception.

In some small families, any of them will be carefully cultivated as the next generation of leading figures—but here in Lord Song, they are just a cultivator, and they may become beast riders in the future.

He couldn't help but glance back at Song Zheng: Where did you find so many elites?

As for what Song Zheng wanted to do when he came up with such a powerful fighting beast cultivator, whether he had a heart of disobedience, Lie Beitao would not worry about it.

In the context of the east bank of the Ling River, the loyalty of the monks to the family and the sect is far greater than that of the state.

If he succeeds in this big business, his position in the family will be extremely stable, and he will be the next generation of family heads.

After he took it seriously, he exclaimed, "My lord...... If this fighting beast is successfully cultivated, it will be easy to cross the east bank of the Ling River and defeat the two clans of the demons, and it will be invincible in the world. ”

Song Zheng just smiled faintly and didn't care. Lie Beitao said this, firstly, because he wanted to sell the riding beast, and secondly, because he had never seen the Hundred Battles King Ride.

In terms of cavalry alone, even Song Zheng has to admit that His Excellency Tiansha's Hundred Battles King Cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the world.

Lie Beitao hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "My lord, do you have the ambition of being the first soldier in the world?"

Song Zheng heard the underlying meaning: Would you like to spend more money to make it better?

He asked, "Please elaborate." ”

Lie Beitao said in a low voice: "My family has a new riding beast, it is extremely powerful, and it is better than the sword mantis earth dragon, even the Iron Lion Eagle of the first battalion of the forbidden army beast fighting and riding is slightly inferior to it. ”

Song Zheng's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but glance at Lie Beitao.

What did the Lie family want to do? Deliberately create a riding beast that could defeat the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Cultivator.

Lie Beitao hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, this is purely because...... Alas, I'll talk to my lords. ”

Lie Beitao's uncle is a geek, and he is good at cultivating riding beasts all his life. He delayed his cultivation because of his research on beast riding, and died at the age of more than two hundred.

His son, who is Lie Beitao's cousin, inherited his father's hobby, and was even more addicted than his father. And Lie Beitao's grandfather, although the head of the previous generation has handed over the seat to Lie Beitao's father, he is still full of words at home.

The old man loves his eldest grandson and obeys his cousin's words. If my cousin wants to study the breeding of riding beasts, then let him toss and need money? Anyway, my Lie family is not short of money, give it to him.

This made Lie Beitao's father bitter, the head of the family knew that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and his cousin's beast riding research had lost one billion over the years!

Although it is said that because of the obsession of the father and son for two generations, the Lie family has the capital to get the supply of riding beasts for the forbidden army to fight beasts, and they have really made a lot of money, but it is of course the best to make up for the shortfall.

The cousin is not in vain, he researched a new insect beast thirty years ago: the Silkworm Thunder Tiger, and continues to breed and breed, and now maintain these two thousand Silkworm Thunder Tigers every year, and the Lie family will spend millions of yuan on jade.

But this kind of riding beast can be called perfect, it can fight on land, it can fly, and it can even dive underwater! And it has three opportunities to "transform" and improve in his life, and the strongest can become the level of a seventh-order desolate beast.

But it's too expensive, and it costs 7 million yuan of jade to match all of them! The forbidden army doesn't want it, and they haven't sold any of them until now, but my cousin rides it every day, roaring and galloping, and I feel that it is particularly enjoyable.

Lie Beitao also made it clear: "There are a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals under your hands, 1,500 riding beasts, except for the Silkworm Thunder Tiger, the others...... There are only 600 tigers and beasts, and there are only 500 armored dragons. ”

"It's too expensive. Song Zheng said: "You should be the only one who does the beast riding business in the Jingshi, and if you can't get it together, the official can also go to find someone else." ”

Lie Beitao was a little anxious: "My lord, give me some time, and I'll discuss it with my family." ”

"Good. ”

Lie Beitao hurriedly went back, and Song Zheng also secretly thought about how to make up such a large sum of money. He called Shi Zhonghe over: "When you go home, be sure to invite Uncle Yanling, and say that I have important skills to share with him." ”

"Yes. Shizhong Hemei went out, and the black bean came in angrily: "My lord, you are eccentric." Why should you give it to the stone, can't you give it to me?"

Song Zheng laughed dumbly and scolded: "Get out." ”
