Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

It could be considered a riddle. He felt that this was a contest between him and Xiao Yun.    

If it could be solved, His Majesty would think that he had defeated Xiao Yun.    

But after nearly a month of hard work, he gave up!    

Moreover, Xiao Yun had actually rested for such a long time, not to mention coming to find him. This made His Majesty feel as if he had been "ignored."    

So, he could not bear it and let the eunuch come over.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Can't you let me keep you in suspense?"    

"His Majesty can't hold it in anymore. These few days, he has been thinking a bit too much. When he has time, he will stand in front of the magical jade and watch. Sometimes, he will even say something to it, scaring even Xiangfei."    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so competitive."    

The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "You also know that? You keep him in suspense, isn't it to make His Majesty feel defeated? Alright, alright. It's almost a month. It's time to say it. "    

Xiao Yun said," Just saying it is meaningless? There were no benefits at all. This was a very important matter to the Great Qin Country. It was not until many years later that this plan could show its effect. Now that I mention it, I feel like I'm at a loss. "    

The eunuch laughed: "As long as you make a request, that's all. Speak, what do you want?"    

"I heard that there's a forging room in the palace, and the equipment inside is the best."    

"Young Master Xiao wants to borrow it?"    

"No, I want that forging room. "    

"Ah? You mean to move here?"    

"That's right."    

"This..."    

The eunuch rolled his eyes.    

The forging room was one of the few good things His Majesty did not have. Usually, he would be proud of it, but now Xiao Yun wanted to move it away. This was too much.    

He could not help but ask, "Who did you hear that His Majesty has a secret workshop?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "There is no wall that can't be seen through. I have always wanted to find one. Unfortunately, I did not find one that I am satisfied with even though I have asked people to go all over the capital. Finally, through some secret information, I found out that His Majesty actually has another one. I have to find a way to get what I like, right? "    

The eunuch's eyes twitched as he thought in his heart, "If you find out, it will be as if a thief is thinking of you!"    

Then he sighed and said, "It depends on His Majesty's decision. If what you say is effective, His Majesty should agree."    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Alright then. It will depend on His Majesty's conscience."    

"Young Master Xiao, keep quiet! This old servant discovered that you really dare to say anything."    

The eunuch was startled. With a bitter face, he begged.    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "Then tell me about this matter. Let me ask you, how is the storage of this magical jade? Is it easy to mine it? "    

"Of course it's extremely difficult. Precious jade is buried deep in the mountains! To obtain a piece, many people need to put in a lot of effort to obtain it."    

Xiao Yun nodded and asked again, "How's the area? Is it only one place, or is it a large area? "    

"The area is quite wide. There are two continuous mountain ranges, but we don't know where it is now."    

"How's the area of Sun Moon Country?"    

"It is naturally the largest!"    

"How big is the difference between our power and Sun Moon Country?"    

"Of course it's more than a few times."    

Xiao Yun nodded again and said, "This is it. So we can only hide from Sun Moon Country now. It could be considered as enduring, but one day, as long as the Great Qin was still around... As long as the Sun Moon Country is still here, there will be a conflict. Am I right?"    

"Between countries, which one can be always safe?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This is it. In other words, we have to deal with it, but we do not have the strength to deal with it. What can we do now?"    

The eunuch was stunned for a moment. He thought for a long time but could not think of what Great Qin Country could do now. He could only shake his head helplessly.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Actually, there are some things that we can do, such as eating away."    

"Eating away?"    

"Yes, since we can't deal with it face to face, we can use other methods. We can slowly weaken the power of Sun Moon Country, and we will gradually become stronger. With this, we will have a chance to catch up to it. Isn't that so? "    

"That is true, but how can we nibble it away?"    

"There are many ways to do so, and there is one in front of us, and that is this magical jade."    

"Magical jade? It can devour the Sun Moon Country?"    

The eunuch was even more confused, and said, "If you want His Majesty to like the magical jade, then the people will imitate and fight to buy it. At that time, not only will we not be able to devour it, but we will also send a large amount of money over."    

Xiao Yun laughed and said," Yes, giving money is also a way to eat away. "    

"This... What kind of crooked theory is this?"    

The eunuch rolled his eyes.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "What is the primary target of nibbling away? Naturally, it is to protect ourselves! We must hide ourselves so that the other party will not treat us as enemies. We can even treat us as friends, so that we can do whatever we do behind our backs. It'll be hard for the other party to discover us."    

"If that's the case... it makes sense. If we buy a large amount of magical jade from them and become their big customer, they will naturally feel that we are very friendly."    

Xiao Yun nodded heavily and continued, "But in fact, we don't lose out on buying the magical jade! What are we buying it for? It must be treasures and copper coins, but copper coins did not represent the true power of the nation. As long as we don't use grain, land, or resources to exchange for it, we don't actually lose much. Instead, it is because a large amount of copper coins are spent on magical jade that we have a lot of things but a small amount of money. On the contrary, it will make copper coins even more valuable or be worth it. No matter which one it is, as long as we carefully regulate it, there won't be too much of a loss. "    

"This..."    

The eunuch frowned, already unable to turn around.    

Xiao Yun sighed. The economic aspect was too complicated. It seemed impossible for the eunuch to understand it all at once.    

He might as well not talk about it.    

He continued, "As for the mining of magical jade in Sun Moon Country, on the surface, they seem to be doing business without capital. Digging out the magical jade from the underground of the mountain is like digging out gold, silver, and treasures. It can be exchanged for a large amount of money. On the surface, it's a huge profit! "    

"That's right. I'm really envious that there's such a thing as magical jade in their territory. It's even more enviable than copper and gold mines!"    

"But in reality, they suffered a loss."    

"Ah?"    

The eunuch's face was full of shock. He felt that Xiao Yun must have gone crazy.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. You can slowly follow my train of thought. Think about it. Excavating the magical jade, was there really no harm but a hundred benefits? Wrong wrong wrong! The harm is still very big! The first mountain forest that had been mined disappeared. It was a mountain. It formed a mountain, producing trees, meat, nuts and herbs. All kinds of resources. As long as it was carefully operated, or even inexhaustible, the formation of this forest would take countless years! And mining minerals... Digging directly into the mountains, in an instant, a forest that would take tens of thousands of years or even millions of years to form. It'll disappear. "    

"This!"    

The eunuch was shocked.    

He had never thought of this problem!    

Xiao Yun continued, "Land is the most important resource, because our Great Qin Country has a lot of people. Therefore, you don't have much concept of land. But in fact, if all the land in Great Qin Country is turned into farmland, planting food, this number is not unlimited. On the contrary, this is a limited number. It is fixed how many people it can feed. It was also a limited number. One day, when the people of Great Qin Country exceeded this limit... No matter how hard they work, there will still be people who starve! "    

The eunuch thought for a while, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Indeed."    

"And too many forests will be turned into arable land. Previously, after the earth movement, the flood of mud and water will frequently appear. If there are too many arable lands and too few forests, there will be frequent disasters."    

The eunuch was stunned again. He recalled the disaster he had heard of before. It was as if... Many of them were in such places!    

Xiao Yun continued, "So the reason why Sun Moon Country exploits magical jade is actually to destroy their rare mountain forests and destroy their most precious land. It is to destroy their natural environment as the price to exchange for a short period of prosperity."    

"So that's how it is!"    

"This is only one of the disadvantages."    

"Ah? And?"
