Chapter 66: Mo Bian Carrying a Huge Debt
"Slander, false accounts, corruption!" Jin Yao looked at his own name at the top of the list, and then the following:
Mo Bian: Solid, cost 356789!
Mo Bian: Lan, cost 276666!
Qin Mo: Master Ban, cost 169,330!
…
The top three and fourth are a cliff-like decline, the most critical is:
Mobian: Income 0!
Qin Mo: Income: 1.2397 million.
Xia Mo: Income: RMB 2.7388 million.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at Jin Yao's performance indifferently and said, "You continue, I'll just watch!"
"Did we really spend so much?" Jin Yao said humbly, looking weakly at Master Ban.
"What do you think?" Master Ban also fell silent. He had modified one mechanical beast after another, but then he didn't sell or rent them out. Naturally, there was only consumption and no income. The most important thing was that no one wanted the things you modified even if you gave them to others, let alone renting or selling them.
"It seems possible!" Jin Yao was embarrassed.
Looking at the numbers and names written in red on the bamboo slips, Jin Yao did not dare to refute the orders of the Six-Fingered Black Knight. He who takes something from someone else should be obliged to take it, and he who eats something from someone else should be obliged to take it, not to mention that they were both eating and taking it.
"No matter what method you use, since you are the master of Mobian and the head of Mozi Sword, you have to pay for this bill. In three months, I want to see a mechanical beast that can be sold!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight said calmly in a low voice. As for the consequences of failing to do so, they are self-evident.
"How about half a year?" Jin Yao bargained.
"Two months!" Six-Fingered Black Knight was very calm.
"How about five months?" Jin Yao continued.
"One month!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight was extremely calm.
"Okay, we can't reduce it any more!" Jin Yao wanted to cry . Who knew how much money they owed the Mo family in a year.
Thus, Jin Yao returned to the Bian Pavilion dejectedly. All the Mo Bian disciples also gathered together. Not only were they forbidden to enter the Mechanical Cliff, but their funding was also cut.
Everyone was waiting for Jin Yao to go find the Six-Fingered Black Knight to get the answer, so they were all looking at Jin Yao expectantly.
"It seems like we have spent too much!" Jin Yao looked at the disciples who were looking expectant, grabbed a piece of bird's nest bread and said.
"I didn't expect Ju Zi to be such a short-sighted person. How can innovation be without consumption? How can it be terminated because of a temporary loss?" Mo Bian, the master of mechanical beast research, said angrily.
Jin Yao silently handed the bill to the owners of each room for circulation.
After reading it, everyone was silent and hesitant. Did they really spend so much? After careful calculation, it seemed that it really was... right!
Especially, Mo Bian's income was 0! Such a huge red deficit made everyone speechless.
"Well, what do countries need most now?" Jin Yao asked.
The owners of the various rooms in Mobian looked at each other. They were all concentrating on scientific research and theory. How could they have the time to observe what other countries needed?
Jin Yao also fell silent. He had not asked about the outside world for the past year, and he didn't know what the outside world needed.
"How about this, within a month, build three hot air balloons that can control take-off and landing, and three hundred telescopes that can observe intelligence thirty miles away!" Jin Yao thought about it, and issued his first order as the Lord of Mobian.
The hot air balloon is the product of their modified parachute after they stopped researching the sky rocket over the past year. Its only drawback is that it is impossible to control the direction and altitude of the balloon, and if you are not careful it will float high into the sky and be unable to come down.
"Who will buy it?" The owners of each room hesitated. Most of their things were sold to hundreds of families. The problem was that these things were of no use to the hundreds of families. Telescopes could be sold to astronomers, astrologers, five elements experts and other hundreds of families who studied the starry sky, but they would only want one or two at most, and the price would not be too high.
"What's the profit in selling it to the Baijia family! Sell it to Qi. Qi has developed maritime technology and is not short of money. A telescope will be of great use to them. They can definitely sell one telescope for a fleet of ships!" Jin Yao thought.
"Okay!" The owners of each room nodded. There were three hundred telescopes, each costing one thousand coins. After deducting the cost of one hundred coins, the net profit was ten times.
"As for the hot air balloons, one is three hundred thousand, no bargaining price. It should be sold to the Northern Army Corps of Qin, the Yanmen Pass Army of Zhao, and the Northern Border Army of Yan!" Jin Yao said uncertainly.
Qin is rich and can certainly afford it, but Yan and Zhao are still fighting a life-and-death battle and may not be able to afford it.
"Who will sell it?" The homeowner raised the final question. They worked hard to build a controllable hot air balloon within a month. They roughly guessed that it should not be a big problem, but the problem was how to sell it.
"Let me go!" Gu, who was obsessed with white tiger catching fish, volunteered.
"What about the other two?" Jin Yao looked at the others. The Three Kingdoms required three people.
"I'll go to Zhao State!" Lan said. After all, they were the three on the list, and they were also well aware of the conflict between Jin Yao and Zhao State, so they would naturally not let Jin Yao go to Zhao State again.
Everyone looked at Jin Yao. The last person was definitely Jin Yao, who topped the list with a consumption of 400,000. The more capable, the more work he should do!
"I'll go to Qin!" Jin Yao had no choice. Yan State was too far away, so he thought about it and decided to give up.
"Okay!" The owners of each room passed the resolution decisively.
After the resolution was made, the lower-level disciples were responsible for grinding the crystals to build the telescope, while the core top-level disciples were fully involved in the improvement of the controllable hot air balloon.
As for Jin Yao, Lan and Gu, they began to discuss how to trick other countries into buying these three hot air balloons.
Finally, the three of them followed the Mohist disciples to various places.
"Are they gone?" asked the Six-Fingered Black Knight calmly.
"Yes!" Yang Lou nodded.
"How long will it take?" The six-fingered black knight's fingers trembled, and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"It is said that Jin Yao went to Beidi County and Yiqiu in Qin State, Lan went to Zhao State and Yanmen Pass, and Gu went to Zaoyang in Yan State. It is estimated that they will not be able to come back for at least a year or so!" Yang Lou calculated and said.
"Okay!" A loud laugh startled Yang Lou.
"Pass the order down, celebrate for three days, and all the dragons and phoenixes will leave. Then there is no need to worry about the prosperity of Mohism!" The six-fingered black hero laughed and gave the order.
That’s right, after Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, he was the latecomer who surpassed the others and enjoyed playing pranks with Jin Yao, and was happily given the title of Tomb Tiger.
Yaowolong, Lanfengchu and Guzhonghu are collectively known as the new three beasts of the Mohist headquarters, the three beast heads of Mobian!
They are also the three biggest money-eaters of the Mohist School. As for their income, don’t ask , because the answer is none!
Therefore, how could the Six-Fingered Black Knight not be happy when he thought that the three of them would be gone for a year or so? The consumption of the three of them was completely one-third of the total annual income of the Mo family.
The most important thing is that these three people are going there to make money. What could be more gratifying than this?
So, the whole hospital’s celebration is just for three days, right? Is that comparable to the consumption of these three beasts?
Therefore, the Six-Fingered Black Knight waved his hand and all the expenses for the three-day celebration were reimbursed!
