Chapter 15 Strange Immortal Cultivation (Part 2)
"make money?"
"make money!"
"No, old man, I'm learning to cultivate immortality with you. Why do you want me to make money?" Yang Hao didn't like to mention money the most, especially in this school, where there are children of nobles everywhere. He may be the poorest in the school. Only by relying on a small amount of support from his family can he live frugally.
"Although our Danding Sect is much simpler in cultivating immortals than others, it also has a slight weakness, that is, all the materials used for alchemy are treasures, and whether it is collected or purchased, it costs countless money. Therefore, the first thing every disciple who enters the Danding Sect needs to do is to make money." Hunyuanzi said affirmatively, "If you can't make money, you won't be able to cultivate immortals, and you won't be able to survive your life."
"Make money! Make money! I just need to know how to make money." Yang Hao scratched his ears and began to worry.
Hunyuanzi had a perfect merit and proudly stopped his troops: "Okay, please hold my ancient book, that's a summary of my life experience. The book records the materials and refining methods of the elixirs required at each stage, and some are auxiliary products for alchemy. In short, there are probably thousands of different aphrodisiacs. Your master, I have tried half of them, and the remaining half will depend on your baby apprentice, hahahaha."
"I don't want it..." Yang Hao said angrily, "I don't have a woman."
When Yang Hao said this, he obviously forgot Eis. But not long after, Eis called Yang Hao through the messenger.
The messenger is a watch equipped by the school for every student when entering the school. It is said that it is for the convenience of communication between students, but in fact it is more for broadcasting advertisements.
Aisi coaxed and deceived Yang Hao to go to her house to play. Yang Hao was in a bad mood and ran over as if he was relaxing. Now Yang Hao didn't dare to enter the gate. If he was caught by Aisi's guards, he would definitely be driven away. So Yang Hao habitually rolled in through the wall and climbed up layer by layer.
Ais’s room was on the third floor, but when he climbed outside the living room on the second floor, Yang Hao stopped because he suddenly heard someone in the living room saying the word “aphrodisiac”.
This has nothing to do with Yang Hao before, but now Yang Hao is unlucky to become the only major disciple of the Aphrodisiac Sect to cultivate immortals. After all, do you have to make some contribution to the master?
There were two people in the living room, one of whom was over fifty years old, his hair was slightly gray, and he was wearing the uniform of an imperial official, and he was quite majestic. Yang Hao recognized that this was Eis's father, the empire's ambassador to Raymond Star. Although he was just an empire's colonial star, in fact, his power was quite great, even more powerful than the Raymond Star royal family.
It is clearly recorded in the history textbooks in the school that since the beginning of the cosmic navigation era hundreds of years ago, the Galaxy Empire has gradually formed a scale. The empire with the original Milky Way as its core has now expanded across thousands of galaxies and has tens of thousands of colonial stars. The main means for the empire to control these colonial stars is to garrison troops and send ambassadors.
For planets like Raymond, which have always been very loyal and loyal, just sending ambassadors is enough to control the situation. On Raymond, the industry is not very rich, mainly producing some crops and plants. The other largest income is the tuition fee of Raymond Advanced College, which is a gold mine for the royal family and the nobles.
Another person in the living room was wearing a suit that only merchants now wear. This kind of suit that was popular in the medieval era was long abandoned due to inconvenience and lack of functions, but those merchants who followed medieval business norms have always stubbornly demanded such dress.
The ambassador was looking at a single word and his eyebrows were frowning: "What's going on? The Senate wants another thousand ships of special crops, which is the third time this year."
"Yes, before I came, the Speaker of the Empire had given special instructions." The merchant was polite, "The Speaker said that the Senate's requirements must be met, which is a major event related to the future life and death of the Empire."
The ambassador responded, but his eyebrows were still unbuttoned: "Of course I know the status of the Senate, but the number of special crops that were needed in these few times is too large. What are these plants and medicines used for?"
"I shouldn't know this." The merchant continued to be polite, but his words clearly stated that the ambassador shouldn't know this.
The ambassador touched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the merchants with his eyes: "These crops are all specialties of Raymond, so there is no problem for them to sell them, but this year Raymond has already created a large trade surplus with the empire, so this account is probably difficult to balance."
Just like the colonial wars on Earth thousands of years ago, the Galactic Empire required to maintain its own trade surplus for colonized planets, that is, it had to plunder from colonized planets. As it is now, a large amount of wealth flowed into Raymond, which is of course unacceptable to the empire.
The merchant was confident: "This is the purpose of the Speaker sending me here, and we already have a complete plan for this."
"What plan do you have?" The ambassador snorted coldly. Generally speaking, imperial officials had no good feelings for merchants. Several speakers in the past called these merchants leeches sitting on shuttles, but this speaker has been very close to merchants recently. "Although the empire is huge, many colonial stars have in turn sucked blood from the empire, and it is probably difficult to save such a situation now."
The merchant smiled: "When the medieval earth empire was divided, there was an ancient China that once exported tea and porcelain and other materials, causing a huge trade deficit in colonial England. In order to restore this situation, England exported a special item to China, which led to a large amount of wealth flowing from China to England."
The ambassador probably had long been familiar with this history, and he spoke: "Opium."
"Yes, England exported opium to China. These two countries had fought the Opium War because of this item." The merchant's eyes shining, but it made people feel terrible. "In order to restore the trade deficit, the empire had to export items of the same nature to colonial stars, and Raymond was the first stop of our entire plan."
"Is there still opium?" the ambassador questioned, "Even if there is, Raymond's cultivation ability is one of the best in the empire, and it is very likely that they can produce it themselves."
