Chapter Ninety-Six: Economic Plunder
Tang Zheng will die with a word, and Yuan Tianzhong will die.
Although the Great Array of the Burning Sun was criticized by Tang Zheng as simple and crude, the fact is that this formation is all over the mountain, and the Great Array that can affect the entire realm can be regarded as the first great array established by concentrating all the resources of the Burning Sun Realm, and the resources it consumes are calculated in a massive amount.
In order to resist the invasion of the underworld, the major factions almost exhausted their own resources to arrange, otherwise it would be impossible to resist the invasion of the ghost fog of the underworld.
And to build a large array that can disperse the ghost mist of the underworld into the endless void, its consumption will not be much less than the Burning Sun Great Array, and even more so. In this case, it is almost impossible to rebuild the drainage formation.
"The big array can't be arranged, but the small array should still be okay. "There is humanity.
"I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket, it's useless. ”
"Even if it's useful, it doesn't work. If the diversion is assisted by scattered small arrays, it can only be scattered and built everywhere. Those ghost generals are not vegetarians, and there are cunning people among them, who will definitely destroy the magic circle. ”
"Exactly, unless it is fully paved like the Great Array of the Burning Sun, it is just a waste of resources. ”
"Is there no way around it?"
"I'm afraid there is no solution. ”
Everyone talked about it, and some people shook their heads and sighed. There are even people who complain that Elder Na Yi is here, if he doesn't preside over the arrangement of the Yanyang Great Array, maybe there will still be resources left, and the drainage formation can be arranged to channel the ghost fog. As for Elder Yi's hard work for this, the important role played by the Yanyang Great Array during this period of time, they automatically ignored it. Fortunately, there are not many such people after all, but their existence is really annoying.
Still Yuan Tian coughed a few times, signaled everyone to be quiet: "In this case, I don't know what Tang Gongzi can do?"
After thinking about it, Tang Zheng replied: "It's not that there is no way, and it takes a few steps." First, I will strengthen the power of the Burning Sun Array. In any case, it's better to be able to increase the power by 30% than not to increase it, and it's always good to delay a little longer. The second is to set up a teleportation array, leading to Qixia. Although the Yanyang Realm does not have any resources to deploy a drainage array now, there are still some in the Qixia Realm. Even if it can provide a part, it will be a great support for the Burning Sun Realm. ”
The crowd rejoiced.
This is indeed a way, the teleportation array is different from the Yanyang Great Array Drainage Array, the drainage array and so on require power to spread throughout the whole realm, and what is required is quantity. The teleportation array is qualitative, mainly some extremely scarce and special resources, and the overlap of the two resource requirements is not high, so it is not possible to build a large drainage array, but the teleportation array can still be built. And if you just transmit resources, the requirements for the magic circle are even lower, and basically the lowest level of the teleportation array can do it.
"Of course, these resources have to be repaid, and I'm afraid I have to add some interest, otherwise I won't be able to open my mouth to the elders. Tang Zai said with a smile.
He is now a real person of Linghuan, and it is natural for him to say this, so everyone said in unison: "It's okay, the interest is self-serving." ”
If you know that he still has a doppelganger Sendai power, I'm afraid that I will scold Tang Zheng for being shameless together, and you are embarrassed to say that you can't open your mouth with this identity?
However, for everyone, it is a reassuring thing to borrow and repay, if the other party is too generous, then everyone has to worry about what conspiracy the other party has.
Judging from the current situation, the teleportation array is definitely going to be deployed, and Tang Zheng also promised that the level of the teleportation array will not be too high, and its performance is sincere, and the aggression of the Qixia realm may not be large, so everyone is also much more relieved, and immediately discuss the price and interest of various resources with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng really didn't plan to invade the Yanyang Realm, and Qi Xia hadn't completely annexed the Blood River yet, so he was a little too busy. Second, after all, this place is too far away from the Qixia Realm, and it is too unrealistic to complete the invasion with just one teleportation array. Even if it is moved, I don't know how many years it will take. As for the invasion by pure high-level force, it will not be able to make effective use of resources, and it will not make much sense to defeat it.
But not invading by force does not mean that there will be no invasion.
The rich knowledge in his previous life made Tang Zheng's vision much higher than these powers, and not invading by force does not mean that he cannot invade in other ways. Economic plundering is a kind of economic plundering -- with the help of this war, the Yanyang Realm is burdened with huge debts and high interest, and finally has to pay off the debts by selling a large number of cheap resources in the realm, which is a common plundering situation in modern warfare.
However, this kind of common situation is absolutely uncommon in the Star Universe, and it can even be said to be unique.
Those elders, who are in charge of the sect, even though they have cultivated for thousands of years and understand the principles of the operation of all things in the world, are destined to be impossible to understand such things that they have never touched. This is exactly what has been said before, it has nothing to do with wisdom, only with insight.
Without that knowledge, no amount of wisdom is of any use.
Because of this, none of the bigwigs in the Yanyang Realm could see through Tang Tribulation's conspiracy, and the strong pressure of the Underworld invasion and their lack of understanding of the Qixia Realm made them not even have the confidence to negotiate with Tang Tribulation.
In this case, Tang Zheng's offer for resources is simply as much as he wants.
A phantom spirit grass that sells for fifteen spirit dollars in the Qixia Realm, Tang Zheng dares to ask for a piece of spirit jade; the purple sand that costs three hundred spirit dollars a ton, Tang Zheng dares to sell it on the basis of thirty spirit money, and if you love it; the resources that are not available in the Yanyang Realm, Tang Zheng basically sells it by one hundred. Even if it is the resources that the Yanyang Realm has, Tang Tribulation will have to be multiplied by fifteen or twenty, who told you that you are short of resources now. Don't blame me for selling it for a high price, we don't have it there. Anyway, the bigwigs in the Qixia Realm don't know what's going on, and everyone can only listen to what Tang Zheng says. Even if you guess that Tang Zheng has the meaning of raising the price - please, if you don't give people benefits, who will help you?
At the moment of life and death, everyone is not good at caring about anything.
In addition to mastering pricing, Tang Zheng also mastered the usage.
The previous display has proved Tang Tribulation's array ability, and the drainage array will be deployed later, so naturally Tang Tribulation will also make a move. So how many resources you want, of course, is also Tang Zheng's decision. Since the power is to spread throughout the realm, the more resources required by the formation, the better. Those spiritual plants and spiritual grasses that were sold on the basis of trees, under the wave of Tang Zheng's big hand, were all purchased tons and tons. Regardless of whether it is finished or not, first place the order and then talk about it - from Tang Zheng, everyone has learned the word order.
In addition, the cultivators who came to help in the battle also had a price. Tianxin is a price, Zifu is a price, anyway, according to different levels, there are hired price codes. In this regard, Tang Zheng did not ask for too high a price, but demanded that this part should not be in arrears and all should be paid in cash. This is because the price of manpower is about the same, and there is not much room for asking for a price, and if it is too high, it will only give people the feeling that you are so dark...... Although there are people who feel this way now. Second, it can be regarded as showing that there are concessions, and the price of resources is high, and the manpower is cheaper...... Anyway, the labor cost is not for Tang to rob himself.
Interestingly, from the perspective of the Yanyang Realm, they also want to pay for labor costs. Because in this way, when the overall situation is gradually decided, and there are too many cultivators sent by the Qixia Realm, they can refuse to enter the Qixia Realm under the pretext that they don't have enough money - at this time, they are still worried about the problem of the armed invasion of the Qixia Realm.
After such a purchase, the final price is naturally sky-high.
Of course, in order to avoid too much stimulation to everyone, Tang Zheng adopted the method of purchasing in batches, and the demand in the later stage can be increased after half of the construction is completed. It's half built anyway, and you can't do without. This is also a common modern method, but it is also unique in the Xingluo world.
Even so, the high price to be paid in advance still shocked the bigwigs in the Yanyang Realm. The drainage array was originally the standard of material resources in the Poor Yanyang Realm, and it was increased dozens of times by Tang Tribulation, even if it was just the upfront cost, it made everyone dizzy.
It doesn't matter if you don't have any money, you can owe it first, and you can add interest.
The monthly interest rate is three cents.
From the point of view of usury, the monthly interest rate of three cents is not high in usury, and the interest rate of modern usury is generally 10% per month, that is, 10% of the monthly repayment. There are also nine out of thirteen in the Star Luo Thousand Realms, which is equivalent to about 13% compound interest monthly interest.
Therefore, the monthly interest rate of three cents is indeed not high.
But once you zoom in, everything is different.
One person can create a hundredfold and a thousandfold industry in a year, but it is a miracle that a country can grow by 10 percent.
The monthly interest of three cents is extremely terrifying compared to the huge amount of money owed by the Yanyang Realm.
That's enough to bring down a world's debts!
It's a pity that there are few big guys in the Yanyang Realm who are good at math, and even if they can calculate how much they have to repay each month, they don't understand what it means. Because they have to understand the ability of the realm to repay and the impact on the realm after deducting this huge amount of debt.
And this kind of self-understanding of the internal economy, the powerful still do not know anything. Those cultivators in the sect who specialize in this part may know something, but unfortunately they are not qualified to participate in such a high council because of their lack of cultivation.
Tang Zheng set the sales price extremely high, and set the ratio of manpower and monthly interest rate extremely low, which brought the feeling to the cultivators that the Qixia Realm wanted to take this opportunity to sell resources to make a profit. Although the price is much higher, the interest is not black, and it gives everyone a chance to repay, so it is much easier to accept psychologically.
A person is mentally prepared to be slaughtered, coupled with the lack of sufficient economic acumen, it is not surprising that he is slaughtered bloodily.
So after some bargaining, Tang Zheng made some concessions, and things were decided so happily.
Of course, there is one more thing to do before completing the resource transaction, and that is the deployment of the teleportation array.
This aspect is not too difficult, because the four major factions basically represent the ultimate power of the Yanyang Realm, at this moment, they really want to give something, as long as they have it, no one will be stingy. If there is none, as long as you can find it, you will send someone to find it yourself. It doesn't matter how difficult and sinister the place is, the Purple Mansion powerhouses of the major factions will personally dispatch to collect the resources he needs for Tang Zheng.
For this reason, Yuan Tianzhong even personally entered the underworld occupation area, three in and three out, and robbed three rare resources for Tang, and the last time he was besieged by eighteen elite high-level ghost kings, and fought his way out of the endless ghost sea.
In this case, on the eighteenth day when Tang Tribulation came to the Great Ri Sect, the information for arranging the teleportation array was finally fully assembled.
