Now, this kid has led many students in the Academy of Sciences to develop the kind of fire dragon car he wants.
The remaining question is how to use the fire dragon car on a large scale in Dalong and other state capitals.
However, based on the current situation of Dalong and Dalong Academy of Sciences, it will take at least about three years to use the Fire Dragon Cart on a large scale.
Just within the territory of Dalong, it would take about three years for the use of the fire dragon chariot to achieve initial results, let alone further places such as Western countries.
Therefore, although Wanyan Feixiong has developed the fire dragon chariot he needs, as far as the current situation is concerned, the emergence of the fire dragon chariot does not seem to be of much help to the Western Expedition.
Of course, if it helps, it will definitely help.
However, the places where we can help are really limited.
At least, that's the case in the short term.
Liu Mingzhi was thinking about it, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he hurriedly turned around and looked at the huge map hanging on the tall wooden frame next to him.
He carefully observed the mainland of Dalong, the Western Kingdoms, and the positions among the Western Kingdoms, and narrowed his eyes with a frown.
Is it feasible if we first find a way to build a fire dragon car route from Dalong Border Pass to the territories of the Western Regions, and then to the territories of the Western States?
No, no, no, no, no, I thought too much and was too ambitious.
After all, even in the world deep in my memory, it is not particularly easy to do this.
That's not to mention the current dragon.
If you think about it carefully, given the current situation, even just building a route from the border to the countries in the Western Regions can provide enough help in the Western Expedition.
The two most significant points are that it has greatly accelerated the speed of transporting grain and grass, and dispatching troops and generals.
In addition to these two points, it also has many benefits for the people.
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Liu Mingzhi took a long drag of his dry cigarette with excitement in his eyes, then quickly got up and walked straight to the map not far away.
As soon as he stopped, he immediately raised his eyes to look at the map in front of him, and his mind began to think carefully about the feasibility of this matter.
It was so quiet in the palace that you could hear a needle drop.
Liu Mingzhi put one hand behind his back and held the tobacco pouch in the other hand, wandering in front of the map again and again with a frown on his face.
After a long time.
Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently, and took a long breath with disappointment on his face.
It doesn't work. This idea doesn't make sense.
Based on Dalong's current situation, he carefully estimated it over and over again in his mind, and finally gave up the idea unwillingly.
Judging from the situation of Dalong's treasury and people's livelihood and officials in various prefectures, it is not really impossible to do this.
As long as you are willing, you can definitely do it.
However, if you want to achieve this step, the price you have to pay is too high.
If you send an order to the imperial court to force this action, it is very likely to shake the foundation of the country.
Shaking the foundation of the country is more than just six words!
The gain is not worth the loss, the gain is not worth the loss.
As the saying goes, before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
Now, I still have to focus on the national affairs in Dalong's homeland.
The safest way is to lay a stable foundation first and then continue with the subsequent series of plans.
After Liu Dashao figured everything out, he silently took a puff of dry smoke, returned to his chair with a lonely look, and sat down on the chair again, as if his body was a little weak.
Immediately, he picked up his tea cup, nodded and took a sip of the already cold tea.
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Liu Mingzhi started talking to himself with a sad face.
"After all, the foundation of Dalong Academy of Sciences is too weak.
One of the most obvious points is that the number of students in the Academy of Sciences is really too small.
No matter how talented or outstanding this kid Fei Xiong is, he is only a genius and an excellent person.
However, his abilities alone are ultimately limited.
If you want to fully develop the Academy of Sciences, the imperial court needs to continue to increase its support for the Academy of Sciences and pay more attention to the students in the Academy of Sciences.
It seems that the letter sent to the golden eagle of Dalong this time, in addition to the letter home to report safety, also has to convey some other messages to the Ten Kings Palace and the cabinet officials."
Liu Mingzhi muttered to himself until he reached this point, holding the tea cup and taking another sip of tea.
Then, he looked towards the sand table in front of him.
Since the Fire Dragon Chariot developed by Feixiong cannot provide much help to the Western Expedition in a short period of time, he has nothing to think about.
Liu Mingzhi silently swallowed the tea leaves in his mouth, and the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.
In this case, regarding the Western Expedition, I can only continue to act according to my previous plan.
If you continue to act according to your inner plan, then you should think about it carefully.
The military is a major event for the country.
There can’t be any mistakes!
Thinking of this, Liu Mingzhi looked at the sand table in front of him with faint eyes, and his thoughts began to fly again.
In the palace, Liu Mingzhi was full of melancholy.
At the same time, there was a person whose situation was not necessarily much better than his.
This person is the Roman businessman Crich who once had a relationship with Mr. Liu and his group.
In the east city of Wangcheng, this time, in the backyard of a store called Krich.
Krich, who had met Mr. Liu once before, was now pacing back and forth in his yard with a sad face.
Beside a stone table not far from him, two beautiful Western women were sitting.
One of the two women looks slightly older, and the other looks like a young girl in her prime. Their appearance is very similar.
At this time, the slightly older woman had the same sad look on her face as Kerridge.
At this time, she was looking through the account book in her hand while whispering softly to the girl next to her who was holding a quill in her hand.
"Iko, Amada Shop, about seven hundred and twenty gold coins."
"OK."
While the two were talking softly, a middle-aged man about forty years old suddenly ran into the yard.
He saw Creech who was pacing back and forth with a sad look on his face, and immediately trotted over.
"Master, master."
Krich looked at the middle-aged man running straight towards him, frowning and stopping in his tracks.
"Al, what's wrong?"
"Go back to the master, Mr. Salah has also come to you to ask for compensation for the loss of the goods?"
After hearing the answer from the visitor, Orr, Krich's frown, which was already frowning, instantly became even tighter.
"What? Salah, an old fox, also comes to me to ask for compensation?"
"Back to Master, yes.
Mr. Salah and his servants are shouting loudly in the front shop at this time, insisting on seeing you, the master, immediately and asking you to give him an explanation."
Hearing this, Krich turned his head to look at the location of the shop and snorted with an unhappy look on his face.
"Hmph! This old fox.
In the past few years, I have helped him many times.
Without my help, how could he have earned such a large share of the family fortune in just a few years.
Now, I have only experienced difficulties for a short period of time. Unexpectedly, even he came to me to ask for compensation for the losses.
Bastard, dirty, shameless.
In the words of Dalong Tianchao, he is an ungrateful and despicable person who adds insult to injury.
Old fox, since you have treated me like this, when I seize the opportunity in the future, don't blame me for not showing my kindness in the past.
Dirty, vampire."
Listening to Creech's angry curses, Orr pointed to the position in front of him anxiously.
"Master, it's too late for you to curse Salah, an old fox.
The most important question at the moment is not how to scold him as an old fox, but to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.
Letting him keep shouting and shouting from the front is not an option!"
When Creech heard Orr's words of persuasion, he clasped his hands and took a deep breath.
"Al, what does that old fox Salah mean?"
"Go back to the master, Salah, and tell the old slave that you can either go and explain to him in person, or ask our store to immediately compensate for the loss of all his goods."
Hearing Orr's answer, there was no surprise on Creech's face.
He has heard words like this dozens of times in just half a month.
It felt like calluses were about to grow in my ears.
"Al, that old fox, how much damage did that batch of goods that he handed over to our shop cost in total?"
"Return to the master, about seven thousand eight hundred gold coins."
"What? Seven thousand eight hundred gold coins, so much?"
"Return to the master, exactly."
Creech made a fist with his right hand and punched the palm of his left hand several times with gritted teeth.
"Can all our shops in the Food King City still be able to produce so many gold coins?"
Orr heard Creech's inquiry and immediately gave an answer.
"To tell you what my master is saying, we can gather so many gold coins if we can do it. But after we allocate so many gold coins at once, we don't have many gold coins left.
With the few remaining gold coins, it is already difficult for our shop to come up with guaranteed gold coins when cooperating with other shops or caravans.
There are no problems with some small shops and caravans for the time being, but it is almost impossible to cooperate with those big shops and caravans."
After hearing Orr's answer, Crich suddenly fell silent with a gloomy expression.
After a while.
Creech took a deep breath and looked at the shop in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Al."
"Owner?"
"Pass my words to the front and compensate Salah, a lot of gold coins as compensation."
No, that’s not right, I’ll give him as compensation as much as a silver coin.”
"Master, do you want to think about it carefully?"
"I won't think about it anymore, I won't think about it anymore, I'll just compensate him as much as he deserves."
"Yes, I understand."
After Al responded, he had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this situation, Krich frowned slightly, and his face suddenly became confused.
"Al, why don't you go and send the message? Is there anything else?"
Seeing Creech's puzzled look, Al gritted his teeth hard.
"Master, this old slave has something to say to the master."
Krich looked stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand after he came to his senses.
"Say it quickly."
"Master, I dare to say this. If it doesn't work, you can ask the eldest young master and the second young master to immediately take the caravan to the Western Region countries of the Dragon Celestial Dynasty, as well as Tianzhu and Persia to sell those goods.
As long as the goods we have in hand can be sold as soon as possible, our losses will not be so heavy.
Although it is impossible to recoup these goods, let alone earn gold coins, it can at least minimize the store's losses.
If those goods continue to be backlogged like this, after a certain period of time, they will be completely destroyed.
By then, even if you want to take action, it will be too late.
Master, you only met once with the group of caravans from Dalong you mentioned. There is really no need for you to take such a big risk because of his words.
Master, time waits for no one, and there are many goods, and neither does the same!"
Listening to Orr's persuasion, Creech couldn't help but have a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
He doesn't know that every move he makes now is a gamble.
Bet on whether the owner of the Great Dragon Caravan, with whom he has only a one-sided relationship, will abide by the agreement between the two of them and the promise he made to himself.
Ever since the troops of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty occupied all the territories of Dashi and Tianzhu.
In the past few years, I have been trying every means to deal with the military commanders of the Dalong Dynasty, hoping to build up a relationship with them.
Although his efforts did not get the rewards he expected, they left a deep impression on the hearts of those dragon generals.
It is precisely because of this that I can develop my business more and more in the royal city of Dashi Kingdom.
From the actual situation, the main generals of the dragon did not give him any substantial help.
However, their identity and status have invisibly helped them solve many problems.
As time went by, not only did my own Dalong dialect become more and more fluent.
At the same time, as a businessman from Rome, his position in the royal city of Dashi Country in a foreign country became more and more stable.
As I spend more and more time dealing with them, I understand more and more about Dalong Celestial Dynasty.
The more I understand, the more profound my impression of Dalong Celestial Dynasty becomes.
It is true that I do not know the identity of the person I met first, nor do I know the strength of his caravan.
However, based on my experience in dealing with those dragon generals, I can be very sure of one thing.
That was the great dragon man with whom he had only met once. His status must not be simple.
His words, deeds, and behavior were no different from those of the great dragon generals he knew.
even.
Even in some aspects of behavior, he is a bit better than those dragon generals.
That person gave me a feeling, a very wonderful feeling.
If I use Dalong's words to describe it, it should be, it should be.
