Three days later, on the east coast of Tongtian Gorge, Silverscale Port.
This port had been built for three months and was supervised by QianFeng himself. Its name came from the undulating waves on the surface of the sea during the day, which looked like countless silver fish scales.
At noon, a row of warhorses galloped out of the port. The two people in the lead were QianFeng and Feng Jixing, who had been in Lanyan City three days ago.
"General Feng, please have a look." QianFeng pointed at the port and said proudly, "This Silverscale Port is big enough for hundreds of warships to dock. Neither storms nor tsunamis can harm the ships in the port. Moreover, the sea route to the Tianji Empire has been opened, so there will be no obstacles along the way. However, I wonder what General Feng wants to transport to the Celestial Pole Continent to trade with the enemy?"
Feng Jixing smiled and said, "General, look at those merchant ships with red sides. They are all my ships. You can go and have a look at the goods yourself."
"Oh?"
QianFeng led the crowd and galloped away. They dismounted and boarded the ship. The ship was filled with heavy boxes. When QianFeng tore open the seal of one of the boxes, it was covered with straw. When the straw was separated, they could see the flickering golden light. They were gold ingots the size of fists!
"Oh my god, gold?!" QianFeng was shocked.
"Yes."
Feng Jixing nodded and said, "Yu left these treasures before he went into seclusion. In the past few months, we have mined many rich gold mines and cast countless gold ingots. However, the resources in the empire are poor and we can't afford so many gold ingots. Instead of this, why don't we transport these gold ingots to the Tianji Empire and use our gold to buy their horses, ironware, demonic spirit stones, beautiful women, and so on?"
"Ah?"
QianFeng was at a loss. "They even want to buy beautiful women … Didn't His Highness Yu issue a decree to prohibit the sale of human beings?"
"Times have changed. What's more, we're buying women who are suffering in other countries. We'll just buy them and treat them well."
QianFeng glared at Feng Jixing, feeling that this person wasn't too reliable. He said, "Demonic spirit stones are forbidden to be bought and sold in the Celestial Greatness Continent. Who are you planning to buy them from? Could it be that General Feng has already established a connection with the Chamber of Commerce in the Heavenly Pole Continent? "
"No, but I don't need to do anything at all. The buyer has already been found."
"How so?"
"The cargo ship will sail directly to the Xishan Province of the Tianji Empire and stop at the port of the Xishan Province to trade. You can rest assured that the people of the Xishan Province are all our people."
QianFeng's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Is it Si Kongyao, the Commandery Princess of Xiping?"
"The Marshal is a smart man. He figured it out immediately. Hahaha …"
"Commander Yu is indeed brilliant. She left two chess pieces, Si Kongyao and Liu Buyi, in the Heavenly Pole Continent. At the critical moment, they will definitely have a miraculous effect of turning the situation around. Hahahaha …"
Feng Jixing also had a smug look on his face.
QianFeng laughed dryly. He suddenly stopped and asked, "That … Does the Heavenly Pole Continent need coolies? If they do, I have more than 10,000 Armor Demons here to provide them. Each of them can be exchanged for 500 kilograms of ironware. "
"Didn't you say that the Armor Demons are treasures? Why … do you want to sell them now? "
"Alas, after the worm nest started operating again, a lot of Armor Demons have hatched. These idiots can eat a lot. The cattle and sheep I raise in the Eight Wastelands are not enough at all. Now I've started to organize fishing and let the Armor Demons eat the fish and shrimp in the sea. They actually don't like to eat them and are very picky."
Feng Jixing raised his sword-like eyebrows. "Picky about seafood? I think these Armor Demons are tired of living. Actually, I have a good idea. Don't you also feed a dozen giant flying snakes? Since the hatching of the Armor Demons can't be controlled, we can feed the giant flying snakes with the Armor Demons. "
The corner of QianFeng's mouth twitched. "Damn you, Feng Jixing. There's really nothing you can't do."
"Come on. During the war between humans and demons, your Armor Demons ate a lot of human flesh. Many orders were directly conveyed by you, QianFeng. I haven't even settled this account with you yet!"
"You, you, you, you're bringing up the old account again. You're really narrow-minded than His Highness Yu!"
"Who said that! Say it again! "
"I said it!"
While the two of them were arguing until their faces were flushed, a human general galloped over and leaped onto the cargo ship. He said respectfully, "Sirs, please don't quarrel anymore. In another two hours, our other 50 cargo ships will arrive. Each of them has a load of about 50,000 jin. This time, there will be a total of 62 cargo ships transporting gold ingots to the Celestial Pole Continent. Based on the gold price of the Tianji Empire, even 200 large cargo ships may not be able to deliver the goods we've purchased. The merchant ships we've sent are simply not enough."
QianFeng frowned and said, "Yes, how can we solve this problem?"
Feng Jixing smiled and said, "You're really good for nothing except fighting. Use your brain. Since we have gold, and the main currency in circulation in the Celestial Pole Continent is gold ingots, Si Kongyao has the right to mint gold coins in Xiping Province. The gold coins she mints can be circulated throughout the continent. It's easy to do things with gold. She will naturally buy merchant ships from various seaports in the Celestial Pole Continent. When we went, there were 62 cargo ships, and when we came back, there were at least 500!"
"Good heavens …"
QianFeng took a deep breath and said, "500 merchant ships will arrive in half a month. Won't we … be rich?"
"Yes."
Feng Jixing patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, you're rich. Do you still want to marry concubines? This Silver Scale Port is your territory. You can get seven or eight concubines just by charging a small docking fee for the merchant ships! "
"Go away! Am I that kind of person?! "
Qian Feng refused angrily. In reality, ever since Feng Jing 'er died, Qian Feng had been alone. He had never thought of having another woman. Sometimes, he thought back to the past. No matter how bad Feng Jing' er's temper was, no matter how unruly and headstrong she was, she was the only one.
Thinking of this, QianFeng glanced at Feng Jixing and found that he was looking at the boxes of gold ingots reluctantly.
QianFeng smiled. Feng Jixing looked carefree on the outside, but he was actually very meticulous. Feng Jixing had always been single and had never thought of marrying a concubine. No one knew who was hidden in the depths of his heart. He was like a mysterious man.
Feng Jixing looked at the gold ingots and his heart couldn't bear to part with them. His face was full of reluctance. One gold ingot could be minted into at least 100 Jinlin coins, and in the Fragrant Boudoir in the imperial capital, Lanyan City … 100 gold coins could buy him half a month of wine and two girls every night … Thinking about it, it was such a pity!
…
Two days later, in Xiping City.
Outside the City Lord's residence, the sound of the guards training soared into the sky and the courtyard was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Si Kongyao was dressed in a tight-fitting Tian Ji Empire's senior female officer uniform as she sat on a chair among the flowers. Her two long legs were propped up on the stone table as she took the letter from Liu Buyi's hands and stretched lazily before opening the letter.
Liu Buyi took a look at Si Kongyao's chest and thighs and could not help but swallow his saliva.
"You are not allowed to look." Si Kongyao glared at him.
"Yes, I won't look, I won't look …" Liu Buyi was trembling with fear. Si Kongyao was the kind of woman that was prepared for him. A man who could have an unruly little woman like Si Kongyao must be a man like Lin Muyu who had both strength and power. It was probably because of this that Si Kongyao relied on and liked Lin Muyu so much.
Si Kongyao glanced at the letter and immediately crumpled it into a ball.
"What did the people in Lanyan City say?" Liu Buyi asked.
Si Kongyao stretched lazily again and said, "The first batch of gold ingots will arrive in about 10 days. There are a total of 60 cargo ships and each ship is filled with gold ingots."
"Wow, then won't we be rich?"
"Look at how promising you are …"
Si Kongyao raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "But we are indeed rich. Take out half of these gold ingots to purchase supplies and keep the other half as the inventory for Bai Ze's mercenaries. The Shattered Cauldron Realm is indeed rich in resources. No wonder the three empires want to conquer the Shattered Cauldron Realm so much. Hmph, these ships of gold ingots will probably dazzle the eyes of the merchants in the Celestial Pole Continent!"
Liu Buyi said, "Then … should we build a few large refineries to produce more gold coins?"
"No need. Wouldn't that take a longer time to convert the gold ingots into money?" Si Kongyao stood up and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, summon the people from the various chambers of commerce and call the merchants from the Celestial Empire and the Blackstone Empire. I want to talk to them about using gold ingots for direct transactions and have them search for supplies from all over."
"Most of them are military supplies. I'm afraid they won't be easy to buy."
"Don't worry. How many of these merchants have clean hands? As long as you give them money, there's nothing they can't get. " Si Kongyao puffed out her well-developed chest and said confidently, "The three great empires are in constant war, and the governance of the various regions has long been unable to keep up with their wishes. Now, as long as you have money, you can get whatever resources you want. Don't you believe me? Our West Mountain Province and the Fire Element Province are pretty much the two great provinces with the best security in the entire Celestial Great Continent."
"I believe you, I believe you. I'll believe anything you say." Liu Buyi nodded helplessly. "Then I'll go and do it now?"
"Go, bring a few more people. You, as the leader of Bai Ze's mercenaries, have a high position and are very weak. If you don't bring a few more people, you'll be assassinated. None of those merchants are easy to deal with."
"Yao, you're about to step into the God Emperor Realm. Why don't you protect me personally?"
"Ptui, you shameless fellow. What qualifications do you have for me to protect you personally? Go and choose from the guards of our God realm. Pick the ugliest ones to go with you. "
"Why the ugliest!"
"This suits you better …" Si Kongyao chuckled softly. She lifted the cloak and draped it over her fragrant shoulders, then swayed her round buttocks as she walked into the main hall. Her newly developed and voluptuous body was especially enchanting under the uniform, causing Liu Buyi to involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva. Motherf * cker, why is this annoying little seductress so devastatingly beautiful, yet I can't touch her?
Although Liu Buyi's strength and status were rising day by day, he still had self-awareness. Si Kongyao was the first person in the entire West Mountain Province that he could not touch. After all, the two people behind her were Sikong Ming and Lin Muyu. Neither of them were existences that he could afford to offend.
