Chapter 194: Combining the two benefits
Seeing that Harric took the initiative to confess the secret spy, Zhang Ziqiang apologized to him regardless of his identity, and his anger calmed down a little. He thought that it was better to resolve the enemy than to make a deal. Since Harric apologized to him alone, he did not suffer any major losses for the time being. The Aidra family has used the cinnabar elixir and not many Hudals, so there is no need to worry too much about this matter. First give Harric a step and then ask for some compensation.
"Oh? There is still this? The Duke's Hudal family is at its peak. My Yanhuang family has a shallow foundation. How dare you think randomly? The Duke is too worried."
Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang personally helped each other and said nicely, Harric knew that he had no intention of exploring it. He felt relieved. After returning to his seat, he took the opportunity to say, "I am ashamed, I judge the gentleman with a careful heart. Please don't be surprised. I will take all these people away in a while to avoid affecting the cooperation between our two families!"
Zhang Ziqiang also smiled and said, "No need for Lord Harric. As long as you give the list of these people to the local government for a while, and order the list of people and train them well. These people are considered experts in the alchemy stage. I have provided them with a year of elixirs, so training can be of great use."
He thought, you, Harric, inserted these people into the family, and was found out and wanted to take them back empty-handed. Now you have helped them refine pills for a year, and they have also leaked the news about the family. How could such a good thing happen?
Harric admitted that he had fallen. Since he wanted to repair the relationship, he would not just take the person back empty-handedly, but he did not dare to put forward the conditions rashly. He was afraid that Zhang Ziqiang would not be satisfied with his appetite, so he spoke up to test it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziqiang was also sloppy and refused to take any loss. This forced him to grit his teeth and speak up.
"Mr. Zhang, the fault of this is my fault. All the people sent were dead soldiers from my Hudal family. There are 122 people in the four batches. They have received family loyalty training since childhood. It is very difficult for Mr. Zhang to train these people well! It is better to take these people back to me. I will also send them to Mr. Zhang from the family, so that I will never let Mr. Zhang suffer any losses. How about it?"
"Oh? Since the Duke is gone and this matter has been made, let me say bluntly, how can the Duke guarantee that the person who will send him will be loyal to my Yanhuang family?"
"I believe Mr. Zhang knows that in order to ensure loyalty, there are only two types of people who have never tampered with foreign trade. One is the family general who trains in the royal family, and the other is the maid who dowry. If you tamper with these two types of people, it is really despised by outsiders! I won't use the family's reputation to make jokes, so what if I send these two types of people here?"
Zhang Ziqiang rolled his eyes in his heart. Everyone said that, but in the first transaction between Brother Millum and me, among the 200-kind elixir monks brought by the sixty golden elixir iron guards, there were also secret spies from the Aidra family!
However, among the maids who were dowry, no secret spies were found. Moreover, these maids were trained at a low level and knew each other well. If they wanted to install human hands, they would be easily exposed. Unlike the monks of Jiedan, they could also recruit externally. It was easy to install personnel. It seemed that the maids were safer.
Maybe Harichi also knew what Zhang Ziqiang was thinking, and before he could reply, he continued: "To be honest, Lord Zhang said that the full load of sea freight this year has caused disaster. My Hudal family has indeed lost a lot of people, and many of them have lost. Now that my family is not even enough for their own use, why not send some maids to Lord Zhang? I brought back more than 120 people and sent three hundred maids to Lord Zhang! I believe Mr. Zhang would not suffer any loss."
In fact, during this year, the Hudal family's shipping had no war with the strong wind and was not worried about being intercepted and killed. They could travel along the shallow sea. They rarely encountered powerful sea beasts, so where did they lose their manpower? But he was the only one in the kingdom shipping, so he said it.
However, Zhang Ziqiang was very cost-effective in his compensation. He had more than 120 secret spies, including only more than 30 of them. Others were mixed among slaves. They didn’t know how good their cultivation was. They could be exchanged for three hundred maids and could be trained as masters of Jindan in just one year. It was indeed cost-effective.
Harric is not a loss. The training of secret spies is much more difficult than the training of maids. The Hudal family is not like the Aidal family, and they have to train them to make talismans and refine formations. Most of the training subjects are the work of serving people. What's the difficulty? The three hundred chariot maids are worth more than one hundred and twenty secret spies.
"It's so great. I'll ask the Duke to bring people back later. The two families have the most important friendship. Isn't it too tiring to be careful with each other? My Yanhuang family never trains people to inquire about the news, and they will not provoke troubles. You can rest assured that your family."
"Mr. Zhang said that I was confused about this and did something that would harm Mr. Zhang's face. Please forgive me, and hope that this matter will not affect the cooperation between the two companies."
Zhang Ziqiang knew that Harichi was not willing to give up on the matter of cinnabar-free elixir. He grabbed his braid today. He probably was afraid that it would affect the cooperation between the two families and was inconvenient to mention it. However, selling elixirs is also beneficial to the Yanhuang family. Even if you earn a lot of money at the price of the Sendran family, you have a magic transmission device and a heaven-level martial arts. Are you still afraid that the Hudal family will improve their strength? Instead of waiting for Harichi to propose to buy, it is better to take the initiative and sell personal favors.
"It will benefit both our two families from each other. We will not affect our cooperation because of this trivial matter. However, I heard what the Duke said just now that the elites of the noble family have suffered a lot, but I don't know why we don't train more to make up for it?"
Harric felt relieved when he heard that it did not affect his cooperation. He heard Zhang Ziqiang take the initiative to provoke his words. He was overjoyed and thought with emotion: Zhang Ziqiang is also a good person to talk to. He is knowledgeable and has a way out for others everywhere. As long as he holds the command of the Yanhuang family, the Yanhuang family will be friends but not enemies!
"Mr. Zhang doesn't know that it's not that I don't want to train more. The Sendran family's cinnabar-free elixirs are limited, and taking ordinary elixirs will affect the limit of people's cultivation level. The elites of the family dare not take it. Forcibly using ordinary elixirs instead of cinnabar-free elixirs, although many talents can be cultivated at the moment, the development potential of these talents in the future will be greatly reduced."
"So that's it, but the Xia Yanhuang family supports many alchemists, and they can also refine cinnabar-free elixirs. If the Duke needs it, you might as well order some."
Harric pretended to be overjoyed and laughed: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for being kind. I wonder if there is a difference in the medicinal power and price ratio of the elixirs made by the Sendran family?"
Zhang Ziqiang also pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "To be honest, the cost of refining elixirs in the lower family is higher than that in the Sendland family. This is also the reason why the Duke family is not sold to the public. However, the shipping risk of shipping is quite high. The noble family makes money for you and me without hesitation, and does not hesitate to work hard, and loses a lot of people. No matter how you do it, you have to express your feelings. It is better to do this. How about the Duke who has the same medicine power, how can you buy elixirs at the same price as the Sendland family?"
Harric was really happy now. He absolutely believed that Zhang Ziqiang said that the cost was higher than the Sendland family. In his opinion, although Zhang Ziqiang was a genius, he could use 500 alchemists to refine cinnabar-free elixirs in this short period of time. If the cost is lower than the Sendland family that has accumulated for ten thousand years, that would be unreliable! Zhang Ziqiang is willing to sell elixirs at a low price, which is probably the same as his reason for ignoring the gender and age of the slave to acquire them. However, it is really fucking to interact with such loyal people!
"I wonder how many pills can Lord Zhang provide?"
"How much does the Duke need?"
Harric's heart was trembling. This kind of opportunity was rare! He made up his mind secretly and gritted his teeth and said, "The amount of 30,000 people per year is twenty-four pieces per person per year, totaling 720,000 pieces. How about it?"
Zhang Ziqiang's mouth twitched. Hudal was really the richest family with the richest background, but he was also a little worried. The 720,000 pills were prescribed three times a month, and 400 pills were made at a time. The elixirs needed by Hudal's family alone would require the 150 pills from the family to refine for four or five months, and the elixirs needed by his own family and the Aidal family to refine them. In this case, the alchemists had no time to practice.
Moreover, Harric requires only twenty-four elixirs per furnace, which requires each alchemist to control sixteen or seventeen alchemy furnaces when refining alchemy. The number of alchem furnaces in the family is not enough. It seems that some alchemists and new alchem furnaces need to be added, otherwise the task will not be completed!
If Lis knew this idea, he would vomit blood and die! He was a ground-level alchemist, and he could only make twenty or thirty elixirs without cinnabar, and each furnace of elixirs can only be controlled by one furnace at a time. If ordinary elixirs are made into forty elixirs, the cost will reach twenty gold coins. The cost of elixirs without cinnabar is literally thirty gold coins per coin.
However, Zhang Ziqiang's cinnabar-free elixir is the same as ordinary elixirs. The cost is one of ten golden elixirs, and the efficiency is much higher, saving several times the manpower. This is not enough, and he is also upset to add a elixir furnace and a small number of alchemists. He should be struck to death by thunder!
"Okay, there are only 720,000 pieces per year, but I have a requirement."
"But it's okay!"
"The Duke knows that the spiritual medicines produced in our Al Kingdom are limited, and the Sendran family is an alchemy family. The alchemy family is only used for their own use and is not sold to the public. Now, since the Duke needs it, he has to refine it, so he has to ask the Duke to purchase enough spiritual medicines in the north and refine it in the next generation."
Zhang Ziqiang thought about it and added: "To be honest, Brother Millum also used this method. However, he purchased spiritual medicine in the Kingdom of Berwick. He did not want to arouse hostility from the Sendland family to avoid fighting against the Duke of Les. He also asked the Duke to quietly buy sufficient amount of spiritual medicine in the Three Kingdoms in the North and transport it back to the Kingdom to hand it over to the Lord?"
"That's the condition?"
"That's the condition!"
