Text Chapter 307 Shipbuilding Mission
Looking at the price in the jade book again and again, he didn't believe what Miao Yi said about the unit price of more than 1.5 million. Even so, the price of this wine was scary enough.
After calculating it this way, he almost broke out in a cold sweat, and found that he was a little too extravagant. It can be said that he was distressed and distressed.
Feeling sorry for himself for drinking so much money was only one aspect. What made him most distressed was that such a good wine was drunk by him as water without caring. If it was all poured into his stomach, it would be fine, but he was the kind of person who leaked it out of his mouth while drinking.
What a sin! How much money did he throw away? How much refining materials could he buy with the money thrown away.
The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. Yao Ruoxian subconsciously covered his chest and said with a twitching expression: "I said, you kid are not fooling me, are you?"
Miao Yi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Senior, what you have in your hand is the transaction list between me and the Chamber of Commerce. Can this thing be faked? Take a closer look."
"Stop talking." Yao Ruoxian slapped the jade tablet in his hand, "I won't read it."
Turning around to face the stone wall and taking deep breaths, if he continued to read and talk, he would be heartbroken. His experience was a bit unbearable to look back on. He had been extremely lonely and had to endure hundreds of years of poverty to slowly get through. He had never been so extravagant in his life, and this was the first time he was so wasteful. His heart was bleeding and he wanted to hang himself.
He felt distressed? Miao Yi, the owner of this batch of wine, was the one who felt truly distressed. If he didn't let the other party realize his mistake deeply, Miao Yi would feel even more distressed, because it would be bad! It was like throwing the wine into the water, so he continued to rub salt into the wound and said, "Senior, let me calculate with you how much the wine you drank is worth, I..."
"Shut up!" Yao Ruoxian turned around, pointed at his nose, and cursed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me that these wines are so valuable?"
"I thought you could taste it yourself."
"Taste it, I'm not a drunkard."
"Okay! Put it another way, if I told you earlier, could I still keep these wines?"
"Uh..." Yao Ruoxian was stunned. I guess I would really try to get more, but then I realized that this was questioning my character, and I was furious: "Bullshit! This is not yours in the first place, you killed people and got it, and everyone gets a share of this wine, so I drank it for free. What can you do to me?"
"Senior, if you say so, then I have nothing to say."
"Don't give me that, you are not a good person, don't think I don't know your intentions, you are saying this just to use the wine to pay for my treasure refining wages. Dream on."
Miao Yi secretly hooked his hands behind his back.
Qian'er, who was outside the cave, immediately walked in and stood beside Miao Yi. She looked at Yao Ruoxian eagerly and shouted, "Master!"
Yao Ruoxian's expression twitched, and she waved her big hand and said, "You two colluded to act, I don't buy it."
Qian'er said aggrievedly, "Master, if the master had an accident in Xingxiu Sea, Xue'er and I would not be able to survive. The master's enemies will not let us go."
This made Yao Ruoxian freeze instantly. He had been lonely for most of his life. Qian'er and Xue'er's care for him made him very useful, and even found a sense of family. He liked these two girls very much. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to teach the two girls how to practice, and he would not have sought benefits from Miao Yi for the two girls. Over the years, he has established a deep relationship with the two girls, and feels like treating them as his own daughters.
Miao Yi obviously saw this and took advantage of it.
Although Yao Ruoxian is not an official, she also knows the cruelty. As Miao Yi's personal maid, if Miao Yi gets into trouble, Qian'er and Xue'er will definitely be the next to suffer.
When she thought of the various miserable humiliations that the two girls might suffer. Yao Ruoxian was a little horrified, and gritted her teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll take you two away. The death of this kid may not be a bad thing for you two. It's not worth being a servant for him for a lifetime."
"Master, the master is also the man of Xue'er and me. If the master gets into trouble, how can we abandon his revenge and hide?"
"You want to piss me off to death, don't you?" Yao Ruoxian pointed at Qian'er's nose, trembling with anger, and then pointed at Miao Yi and cursed, "Are you still a man? You actually use women, despicable and shameless!"
Miao Yi smiled, turned around and took Qian'er into his arms, and kissed her lightly on her smooth forehead.
Qian'er was obviously not used to doing such a love affair in front of outsiders. She was both embarrassed and happy, which made Yao Ruoxian roll her eyes, feeling that "a girl should not be kept at home".
After a light kiss, Miao Yi patted her back and let go, "You go back first."
Qian'er looked at Yao Ruoxian with some hesitation, seeming a little worried.
"I will talk to Senior Yao alone!" Miao Yi nodded, indicating that she should obey.
Qian'er nodded and turned away.
After Qian'er left, Miao Yi turned back and said, "I know that Senior treats them very well."
"Don't say that it's useless. Whether I treat them well is my business. It has nothing to do with whether you pay them or not. If you are a man, don't push them out as a shield."
"They are my women now."
"So what? Don't worry, if you die, I will definitely help them find two better dual cultivation partners than you to comfort your spirit in heaven."
Miao Yi didn't take it seriously and waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. I care about their safety more than you. The two of them are orphans. They were sent to the 'Ciyuan Mansion' when they were young, and then they were selected for training. Finally, He was just sent to me... I mean, they have nothing to rely on, so I want them to worship you as their adoptive father."
"Uh..." Yaoruoxian was excited for a moment, but soon became furious and sneered again and again: "In order for me to help you refine some magic weapons, you kid really can do anything. You are simply a beast. It's better, in the final analysis, I still want to use them both, but they are totally devoted to you."
"Even if senior helped me refine the magic weapon, I can't guarantee that I can come back alive." Miao Yi looked at him firmly and said unmoved: "The reason why the two of them want to recognize senior as their adoptive father is Tell senior, if I can't come back alive, please take them away and protect them as a father. I have killed many people over the years, and I don't even know how many enemies I have made. They continue to stay here. There is only a dead end."
"..." Yaoruoxian was startled, because he wanted to entrust the two girls to himself, and he understood a little bit why this boy wanted Qian'er to leave first... The angry look on his face gradually softened, and he snorted coldly: "You don't need to "I will take good care of them."
"There is another person." Miao Yi said: "Yan Xiu! If I can't come back, if he wants to stay in the officialdom, then it's up to him. If he is willing to go with Qian'er and the others, I will arrange for someone to help him get rid of the immortality. Ji, please take him with you. It would also be good if he stays with you to help with some chores."
"I don't want to listen to this nonsense." Yan Xiu waved his hands impatiently and said, "I won't accept this either. I can't help you refine magic weapons for free."
He casually summoned a little praying mantis. At this time, the little praying mantis had grown from the size of a finger to the size of a crab. Its arthropods and sharp claws had already begun to show their ferociousness. Perhaps it was because of eating too many gold crystals. The carapace was oozing with golden color, and its tail was even brighter. It is dragging a golden arc.
"In order to raise these little guys, I have used up all the demon elixir in my body to grow so big. The stuff they secrete after swallowing the crystal coins is an excellent material for refining treasures. I will be of great use in the future, but they are so big They are too small, and the secretion rate of swallowing crystal coins is too slow. If this continues, I don’t know how many years and months it will take. I will need a lot of demon pills to make them grow up quickly. You must get more demon pills when you go to Xingxiu Sea. , think of it as equivalent to my wages for helping you refine treasures..."
After hearing this, Miao Yi smiled. This was a promise to help him refine the treasure...
After going back down the mountain, Xueer presented the jade ultimatum from Nanxuan Mansion.
After Miao Yi read it, he asked Xueer to summon Yan Xiu and showed the jade ultimatum to Yan Xiu.
After reading it, Yan Xiu nodded and said, "This is preparation for the Xingxuhai Fighting Rebellion Meeting."
In the Xingxiu Haikan Rebellion Meeting, each palace will send two people to participate, which means that one palace will send twenty people, one palace will send two hundred people, one road will be two thousand people, and the twelve roads together will be more than 20,000 people. Sect forces large and small will also send people to participate, and the entire Immortal Kingdom will send almost 30,000 people.
The situation in the other five countries is similar. When the time comes, the area designated by the Xingxiu Sea will be a mess of 150,000 monsters and monsters showing off their magical powers. You can imagine the fighting situation.
I won’t mention these for the time being, but to transport the 30,000 monks from the Immortal Kingdom to the Xingxiu Sea requires a large number of long-distance sea ships. After all, the participants are all monks below the Red Lotus and cannot fly in the air, so a large number of distant ships must be built. Sailing ship.
Such a large amount of shipbuilding cannot be produced in one place within a few years. In order to ensure that it is completed on time, it must be built separately along the coast.
Because Zhenhai Mountain has a natural and excellent port, it has also become one of the designated shipbuilding sites. It has been assigned the task of building ten large-scale seagoing ships. The superiors ordered Zhenhai Mountain to be completed half a year before the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Conference was held, because the sea It takes several months for the boat to cross the sea.
Those who fail to complete their tasks will be severely punished, and someone from above will be sent to inspect them.
The construction drawings and funds for the large-scale sea-going ships will be sent soon. Nanxuan Mansion requires Zhenhaishan to immediately organize manpower to start preparations without any mistakes.
"Each sea-going ship must accommodate the troops sent by the First Palace, which means that it must accommodate two hundred people and two hundred dragon horses. It is conceivable that the ship is huge, and the requirements for resisting wind and waves are relatively high. Ten large ships must If we can finish the work on time, we won’t be able to find that many skilled craftsmen in Donglai Cave alone.” Miao Yi looked up at Yan Xiu, “What I mean is to recruit a hundred skilled craftsmen from various cities to support Donglai Cave. What do you think? ?”
Yan Xiu nodded and said: "It's feasible. With a thousand skilled craftsmen, it should be enough. If the remaining labor is not enough, it shouldn't be a big problem to solve it over there in Donglai Cave."
