Chapter 2075: Making Pieces for Each Other
He holds the magical power of the Illusion Sect, which he copied from the Upside-Down Sea. But he cannot naively give it to Panlong City.
As one of the oldest sects in existence, the Huan Sect's mental method lineage is very complete and has distinct characteristics, but there are two major problems.
Since it was created by Qian Huan, the Huan Sect's mental method emphasizes the word "illusion", and focuses on magical powers and techniques.
A large number of illusions and barriers were not suitable for military use. Unless one cultivated to the level of an immortal, illusions would be easily exposed in front of Yuanli—not to mention that the laws of Yuanli were changing, and the effect of Yuanli was even more powerful.
After deducting all the numbers, there are only four or five main combat techniques that are truly suitable for military use, and then there are a bunch of illusions.
The vast Panlong Plain, with hundreds of thousands of troops, countless tribes and civilians, how could learning only these few mental methods be enough? The skills provided by the Revitalization Agency must be numerous and diverse, because human talents are so diverse that individuals vary greatly.
The second problem is, if he hands over the Huan Zong's secret method to Panlong City, how to solve the problem of the origin?
Why can General Hu Yi, who has never left Panlong Wasteland and Maohe Plain, take out so many sets of mental techniques that are kept secret from the Huan Sect? How will he explain the techniques to Panlong City and Zhong Shengguang?
The last and most troublesome point is that the Illusion Sect's mental method has distinct characteristics. It's fine if He Lingchuan practices it secretly. But if it is distributed on a large scale as a military method, aren't you afraid that the Illusion Sect will come and find fault?
What He Lingchuan least wants now is that Qian Huan is thinking about Shangpanlong City, so why would he attract other people's attention for no reason?
From a practical point of view, Lingshan is still the best source of martial arts, which is safe, reliable and traceable.
Then Xin Yi continued to lay out the bait: "The silver manganese and white steel that Bailie purchased from the Flashing Gold Plain are both good materials for making special weapons. This month, we plan to use the new route to transport them to Baisha Bay."
What are special weapons? In the past, the swords, spears, guns, etc. used by soldiers were all ordinary weapons, the so-called "ordinary weapons". Because the spiritual energy was too thin, it was enough to use ordinary weapons in battle.
Special weapons are between ordinary weapons and magic weapons, and usually have only one characteristic, such as "sharp", "armor-breaking", "steel-breaking", etc. Some shields even have the additional characteristic of "collision". They are not as rich and varied as magic weapons, but they are cheaper, have stable quality, and can be customized according to needs.
There is uncertainty in the refining of magic weapons, and it is hard to say what characteristics they will have after they are out of the oven. However, as long as the refining of characteristic weapons is strictly in accordance with the ratio, there will be no surprises or shocks.
In the middle and late Middle Ages, spiritual energy gradually declined, and special weapons appeared in the world.
But on the other hand, as long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is restored to the level of the Middle Ages, special weapons will have their place.
For any force or country that aspires to the future, at this stage, in addition to powerful magical skills, there is also a strong demand for special weapons.
Raw materials such as silver manganese and stainless steel are also available in Panlong Wasteland, but the output is relatively small, so they can only be supplied to the Dafeng Army first, and the quantity is not enough.
He Lingchuan also wanted to equip his Seymour Legion with this.
So the cake drawn by Xin Yi is still very fragrant.
But he also specifically mentioned Baisha Bay.
Of course He Lingchuan understood the hidden meaning. If Panlong City wanted to freely use the port terminal of Baisha Bay, it had to pass through Lingshan.
This is Panlong City’s top priority right now.
Xin Yi added: "Also, Panlong City is opening up a second trade route to the sea. There are also many sects along the route that are friendly with Lingshan. At that time, Lingshan can act as a matchmaker for both of you and promote cooperation."
In fact, although there are many benefits to cooperative road development, not every country and force is willing to do so. It may increase economic benefits in the short term, but in the long run, there will be strangers coming and going in one's territory all day long, which can easily lead to secret leaks. In addition, the composition of caravans is usually complex, and their coming and going are difficult to control. What if the army disguises itself as a caravan and takes the opportunity to seize local power?
This has actually happened before.
The second sea trade route passes through more countries and regions, not as simple as Maohe Plain-Baisha Bay. It is very tiring to conquer Panlong City one by one.
Negotiations between countries can take anywhere from a few months to an unlimited amount of time. Some countries have been negotiating agreements for more than a decade, and even after some progress, there is still no sign-off date.
If Lingshan acts as a bridge, and everyone belongs to the Lingshan camp, there will be a natural basis for cooperation and mutual trust, as well as face that cannot be erased, so such an agreement will be easier to reach.
This cake is also very fragrant.
Of course, Xin Yi also added a lot of oil while painting the pie to increase its appeal. He Lingchuan could see from this that Lingshan also hoped to reach an agreement with Panlong City, but at present it was still at the stage of lip service and no substantial efforts were made.
It’s okay, we can talk.
"In fact, compared to simply providing support, we actually have a better plan." After talking with Sun Fuling, He Lingchuan has been trying to find a solution.
Xin Yi was very interested when he heard it: "I would like to hear more about it."
Here comes the point.
He Lingchuan took out a portable sand table, and Xin Yi consciously removed the food and cleared the table.
The sand table had been debugged in advance, and when it was opened, it showed a thumbnail of the Panlong City territory.
"The past few years have been a period of development for Panlong City. The territory has expanded threefold, the population has increased ninefold, and the grain output has reached new highs every year." These are all old news, Xin Yi has known them for a long time, and He Lingchuan is not afraid to say it to his face. "On the surface, everything seems to be thriving. In fact, Panlong City has encountered many problems, such as insufficient development of arable land, urgent construction of new official roads, maintenance and reinforcement of canal bridges and dams, and accelerated development and construction of new cities and new towns to accommodate the large number of new residents."
Interestingly, the real Golden Plains also faces these problems, and they are larger, more numerous and more complex. While He Lingchuan is actually working on the construction of Cangyan Country, he is also looking at the development opportunities facing Panlong City, and his ideas are flexible and changeable.
His current position, vision, and pattern actually far exceed the limitations of Panlong City's "Tiger Wing General".
Xin Yi nodded: "Yes, I know these are very expensive."
These are areas where the official finances have to spend money and energy, and many of them have been bottlenecks for many years.
"But it's also very profitable." He Lingchuan smiled and pointed at the sand table, "For example, if we want to build a dam on the Luzui River, it will be right here, and the preliminary exploration has been completed. Once it's built, it will not only benefit the fields downstream, but it's estimated that we can also collect more than 30,000 silver in ship taxes every year."
He reiterated: "This is a stable income every year, just like a golden goose that lays eggs. When the local economy improves, this money will only become more substantial."
