Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 215 Merchants
After trying it, he found that there were no bugs and it ran smoothly, so Lin Qianxing handed the puppet to Rong Hao to complete the transaction.
Next, he planned to build a factory in the Linglong world and let some puppets specialize in producing this thing, so as to ensure that it would be widely used.
However, the Si Tian Jian currently also has similar communication tokens for sale internally. His large-scale sales of array plates may have some impact on the Si Tian Jian's business.
Therefore, we still have to wait until Yan Zhu is free to discuss it with him, otherwise there will inevitably be some misunderstandings among us.
Speaking of which, Yan Zhu is really busy. Today he is subduing demons here, and tomorrow he will have to go to another city to build a city defense formation and resolve disasters.
There is no one busier than him in the entire Dayu Kingdom.
Many clerks who run errands all day long don't work as hard as he does.
…
Time flies, and soon it is June 24th.
In the past few days, Lin Qianxing played the game "Metamorphosis of Divine Beasts" again.
Each time he was able to enhance his foundation and gain some different Dao-level talents. In the middle, he tried the talent of [Supreme Bloodline] again, and tried to experience other bloodline tracing routes, and felt the joy of transforming into other divine beasts.
However, Lin Qianxing felt that these mythical beasts were not as good as that mysterious bloodline.
But no matter how Lin Qianxing played, he could not touch the source of the mysterious bloodline, nor did he gain another avenue-level talent.
I can only say that my luck on my first trip was really outrageous.
Of course, Lin Qianxing did gain something from all these trips.
He already had a rough idea of how to trace back to the end of that mysterious bloodline.
As long as the starting talent plus the advanced talent extracted are good enough and can strengthen his own foundation, he can rely on the Taotie Devouring Heaven Rule to quickly improve his strength and reach the peak of the Overturning Sea Realm.
Taking this as a starting point, Lin Qianxing felt that he would definitely be able to reach the source of that mysterious bloodline.
Early morning.
Lin Qianxing and Yan Zhu had a discussion in the Sitianjian, and finally Yan Zhu agreed to help Lin Qianxing sell the formation plates, and even took the initiative to help build communication stations to ensure the communication construction in various parts of Dayu Kingdom, so that people can communicate with each other through the formation plates anywhere.
He did all this just to gain the qualification to become a merchant on the Three Little Demons platform, and he didn't even ask for any profit.
Lin Qianxing offered to give it to him, but Yan Zhu said, "No need. Si Tian Jian didn't do much here. Daoist friend, you can just give him the qualification to be a merchant."
"Actually, I don't plan to make the qualifications for merchants to move in very strict. By then, even roadside restaurants may be able to join in. Brother Yan, are you sure you don't want to make a profit from the sales?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It is the duty of the Sitianjian to enjoy the salary from the country. How can it compete with merchants for profits?" Yan Zhu shook his head.
Lin Qianxing was shocked by Yan Zhu's realization, but when he thought about it carefully, as a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers, if he really wanted benefits, he had plenty of ways to do it. Considering the importance of the Sitianjian in the Dayu Kingdom, if he went directly to the treasury for approval, how much money would he not get?
Therefore, he really doesn't need to ask for this little profit. If he doesn't do it well, it will easily cause discord within the Imperial Observatory.
Everything has its pros and cons, and thinking about things differently from different positions is different. Lin Qianxing also agrees with this.
"Then we will take out 10% of the profits from the sale of the communication array and build a charity hall in the name of the Imperial Observatory!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Charity hall?" Yan Zhu asked doubtfully.
There are no charity halls in the main world. The government usually helps to house the orphans, the elderly and the young. However, the various matters involved are very troublesome and there are many disputes.
"It's a place to house the disabled, helpless, lonely, elderly, and children for free..." Lin Qianxing explained simply.
After listening to Lin Qianxing's explanation, Yan Zhu couldn't help but respect Lin Qianxing.
He originally thought that Lin Qianxing had always been a self-centered cultivator who didn't care much about the suffering of the people, but now it seems that he only puts himself first and helps the world when he is successful.
This is also human nature, or it can be said that this is the best thing to do.
While it is commendable to sacrifice oneself for others, doing so is ultimately unbalanced.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing talked with Yan Zhu for a while, and the two suddenly mentioned the thing called digital currency.
"What is digital currency?" Yan Zhu asked.
"You see, when we go out shopping, we always have to bring banknotes and silver, or Yuan Crystals, which is very inconvenient. If the national credit and Yuan Crystals are used as guarantees, a formation that can increase or decrease numbers can be implanted in the formation disk or magic weapon. When trading with each other, you only need to enter the transaction key designed for the formation disk and subtract the number, which is equivalent to trading the corresponding number of Yuan Crystals. As for security issues, the currency data center is set up directly in the palace. Unless someone can directly break through Kyoto, it will be useless even if the formation on the formation disk is broken, and it will not affect the digital currency on the formation disk at all..." Lin Qianxing talked freely.
"This is a method that has never existed before." After hearing this, Yan Zhu fell into deep thought.
It is not difficult to achieve these things with the means of the Imperial Observatory, but since it concerns a country's economy, there are often many things that need to be considered. If there is a mistake in any link in the middle, it can easily cause unimaginable consequences.
Moreover, although the current situation of Dayu Country is thriving, it is still a bit ahead of its time to develop digital currency.
Lin Qianxing just mentioned it casually and had no intention of doing anything about it.
But after Yan Zhu pondered for a while, he immediately decided to go to the palace with Lin Qianxing to talk to Li Xishang. When the formation plate was sold, this function would be directly loaded into it.
"Friend Yan, you are not kidding, are you?" Lin Qianxing said in a dumbfounded manner.
"This is a good thing, why should I joke about it?" Yan Zhu said with a smile.
Lin Qianxing thought that if this thing could really be accomplished, his daily life would be much more interesting.
So, Lin Qianxing and Yan Zhu really went to Kyoto and met Li Xi in the imperial study.
This was the first time Lin Qianxing met Li Xi.
After feeling the aura of Li Xi, Lin Qianxing made a judgment.
He is actually a master at the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm.
His strength is much higher than Lin Qianxing's at this time.
However, if a real fight breaks out, he will definitely not be able to survive unless he has some powerful magical weapon.
"Please take a seat, fellow Taoists." Li Xi waved his hand to invite the two to sit down. After having the maid serve tea, he asked, "What brings you here this time, fellow Taoists? I wonder?"
Hearing this, Yan Zhu looked at Lin Qianxing, and Lin Qianxing shook his head slightly to indicate that he did not want to be in the spotlight, so Yan Zhu stepped forward and talked about the idea of digital currency proposed by Lin Qianxing.
During this process, he repeatedly mentioned that the idea was proposed by Lin Qianxing, and he was just relaying it with no intention of stealing the credit.
After saying this, Li Xi also fell silent.
He looked at Lin Qianxing thoughtfully, and guessed what the situation was like where Lin Qianxing had been before he took over another body and reincarnated.
Unfortunately, the vastness of the Infinite Realm is difficult to measure. There are hundreds of countries surrounding the Dayu Kingdom, and each place has different customs. Even though he is a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers, he actually doesn't know much, so he has no way of guessing.
However, he felt that the idea proposed by Lin Qianxing and the living conditions of the people after that were quite feasible.
But for specific circumstances, you still have to ask professionals.
"Empress Gao, please go to the Ministry of Revenue and call Minister Hu over." Li Xi turned his head slightly and looked at the attendant behind him and spoke.
"Yes!" Gao He nodded, then bowed and left quickly.
Soon, an official wearing red official uniform and looking to be around sixty years old came to the outside of the study.
After he bowed to Li Xi, he followed him inside.
"This is the Minister of Revenue Hu Zhen." Li Xi introduced Lin Qianxing, and then said: "Minister Hu, I just discussed some food and goods with Yan Jianzheng and Lin Daoyou. This time I asked you to come here to see if it is feasible."
Hu Zhen bowed and said, "I understand. Your Majesty, please explain it to the two saints in detail."
Immediately, Yan Zhu repeated what he had said before.
After listening to it, Hu Zhen confirmed some details with Yan Zhu, Lin Qianxing also added a few words, and checked the communication array disk handed over by Lin Qianxing.
After making sure nothing was missed, he nodded slightly.
Then, a mysterious light shone on his body, and with a wave of his hand, a picture was revealed.
Lin Qianxing could see the situation in the capital of Wuding City.
In the picture, countless people live in an orderly manner. Everyone has a communication array disk on them, and they no longer use banknotes and silver to trade with each other. Instead, they trade directly with the array disk.
You can even purchase things through the array without leaving your home, and have the goods delivered to you from thousands of miles away.
The popularity of communication arrays makes communication between people convenient and fast. Even if they have never met, they can still make video calls through the array projection.
Lin Qianxing was stunned. This was obviously a means of predicting the future. He didn't expect that Hu Zhen, who looked ordinary, could actually do such a thing.
As if seeing Lin Qianxing's doubts, Yan Zhu whispered to Lin Qianxing: "Minister Hu is a great scholar in business. He can deduce some things about food and goods through the Human Dao Divine Talisman, but this method consumes a lot of energy and is not completely accurate..."
"A humane monk!" Lin Qianxing said suddenly.
He had read so many books from the Imperial Observatory that he did know some of the methods used by some humane practitioners.
For example, farmers have the method of transplanting flowers and trees, military strategists have the method of condensing qi and blood to form battle formations, famous masters have the method of making their words come true, legalists can draw a line on the ground to make a prison, and deal real damage to those who violate the law, and so on and so forth...
That’s right, humanitarian cultivators also have sects. In the past, the various schools of thought were fighting each other fiercely and no one was willing to submit to the other. In the end, Confucianism won and all the doctrines were incorporated into Confucianism, collectively known as Confucian cultivators.
But even so, they will still have specializations within the group, just like choosing a profession.
Different professional specializations have different means.
For example, Hu Zhen in front of us is a member of the business community.
As a great scholar, he had many abilities related to transactions, such as "barter", which was an outrageous method of forcibly trading something with the other party using something of sufficient value.
This time, he deduced the situation after the implementation of currency in the future, which is one of the means used by merchants.
In the business world, this is known as “knowing profits and losses.”
Initially, it could only be used to judge the price fluctuations of commodities within a certain period of time. To be able to deduce the future to the level of Hu Zhen, one must at least be a great scholar or even a saint.
Finally, the scene that Hu Zhen had deduced disappeared. He looked exhausted and said, "Your Majesty, I have the result."
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Hu. What's the result?" Li Xi asked.
"Your Majesty, it is feasible. It is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but you cannot be impatient. You need to take it step by step." Hu Zhen replied.
Li Xi nodded and made a decision immediately. He said, "In this case, let's use Yushan City as a place to test the law first..."
