Chapter 725 Drinking and Planning
Under the red maple tree, Yang Tianyou carried it with one hand and held a piece of pure white silk in his right hand. On it was embroidered a handsome and handsome boy with tender cheeks, wearing white clothes and holding a long knife.
That was Yang Tianyou when he was young.
"Alas...the road to immortality is so difficult..." A long sigh passed away with the wind.
After all, Jin Ge is the only old friend I made when I was young.
Hong Qing of Yunxia Sect also died sadly in this war.
Yang Tianyou didn't have many friends to begin with, but now that they were leaving one by one, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Black and white!"
A shadow suddenly appeared, "Here!"
"Go to Lingjun in person, invite Jin Ge here, and say... I want to treat him to a drink!"
"Yes!"
After Black and White left, Yunhua came over, glanced at the silk in his hand, and said softly: "Go and worship her!"
"Okay, madam?"
Yun Hua shook his head, "I won't. I can't be alone during my lifetime. If I stay alone with you for a while after my death, she will definitely be very happy!"
Yang Tianyou remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed again, moved and disappeared into the vast sky.
……
The setting sun sets, night falls, stars spread like a sea in the dark sky, and a bright moon sheds boundless silver.
Yang Tianyou and Jin Ge sat opposite each other, drinking wine in front of the moon, with countless wantonness and freedom. They seemed to have returned to the time when they were teenagers, when they had the same spirit, discussed the Tao of Talisman and discussed everything in the world.
"Tianyou, I thought I would never have another drink with you in this life!" Jin Ge said in a daze. The wine they drank was Yang Tianyou's collection. After a few more drinks, the golden elixir monk couldn't bear it. Living.
"No way, you will come to my Taibai residence every year from now on, let's drink together and get together!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his relationship with several old friends had become estranged for some time. .
This was not his original intention, but was inevitable after being entangled with various things, plus his cultivation and status were getting higher and higher, and the gap between them became wider and wider.
Just like what Liu Siyu said before she died, "I have tried very hard to chase him, but... why... I still can't see his back..."
"Haha, this is what you said. When the time comes, don't blame me for coming to disturb you..." Jin Ge's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were red, but he still drank to himself, and with a final plop, he lay on the table with only his mouth Still muttering, "Friend... pour the wine..."
Without disturbing Jin Ge, Yang Tianyou came outside the yard and to the edge of the cliff.
The strong wind blew, blowing his black hair. In the middle of his robe and hunting, Yang Tianyou drew his sword and danced. The light of the sword was like water, which seemed to reflect his state of mind. Sometimes he was passionate and free, and sometimes he was frosty and lonely.
In the middle of the dance, the light of the sword suddenly appeared, and the ethereal figure in white came. Yunhua held the sword and danced with her husband.
Faintly, there was a soft voice echoing, "Even if everyone leaves, I will stay with you..."
……
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
In the past ten days, the Yang family first distributed the pensions to the fallen tribesmen and the Four Elephant Army, and gave the Four Elephant Army a large resource subsidy, so that many commanders returned to the Sea of Chaos with smiles on their faces.
Then the Yang family distributed the resources that each force under its command should receive based on their military exploits. This was completely fair and just, and convinced all the forces.
After all the chores were taken care of, Yang Tianyou began to adjust the family development plan.
If you want to develop, you need money and resources.
The Yang family's current resource channels include the following.
First, the clan’s income includes the resource output from the Sanyan Palace Secret Realm and the Blood Moon Secret Realm, as well as the income from the spiritual fields, elixirs, alchemy tools, talismans and other halls on Ziyue Mountain, as well as the income from Ziyue Trading Company.
Second, taxes from Ziyue County and Luochuan County, as well as related mineral deposits, spiritual veins and other income.
Third, the territory of two counties in Xuanzhou, the territory of one and a half counties in Mozhou, and part of the resource output of the Blood Killing Dao secret realm.
Fourth, trade with the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea, and trade income from the Chaotic Sea.
In addition to the above four, there are also some fragmentary incomes.
Added up, the Yang family's annual income has completely exceeded that of Shanhe Palace, and the number of immortal cultivators it can train has at least doubled.
In addition, after Yang Tianyou broke through to become a god, he was able to conduct the pulse master assessment of the Four Symbols Sect.
Once passed, you can fully inherit the legacy of the White Tiger lineage.
That amount of resources, even if it were placed on the current Yang family, would be an outright windfall.
With money, you have the confidence to expand your power.
In this war, although Yang Tianyou was in a sad mood because of the death of Yang Dangmo and others.
But in terms of pure profit, the Yang family is definitely making a profit without losing money.
More than 10,000 immortal cultivators were killed in exchange for 50% of the post-war resources and a large amount of military exploits. If only calculating the profits, the Yang family made more than ten times the profit.
With so many resources, not to mention 10,000 immortal cultivators, 100,000 can be easily re-cultivated, and the expansion of the family is not a problem.
Yang Tianyou's first target was the Ziyue Army. Eight thousand people could no longer satisfy the family's appetite, so he simply continued to expand the army to 30,000 people, nearly four times the number.
At this moment, Yang Tianyou has figured out that in times of war, we can no longer stick to the past.
It is wrong to just think about balancing expenses and income.
At this time, fiscal deficit should be the norm.
In a war, survival is the key, and if you want to survive, you must have strength.
Resources are only useful if they are spent, otherwise they are just a pile of waste.
So what is the most effective and fastest way to enhance family strength?
The answer is, the Legion of Monks!
As long as they are willing to spend resources, the Ziyue Army's power will be able to expand several times within thirty years.
Of course, if there are not enough strong people in the army to transform into gods, it will be impossible to compete with the manifestation of the saints.
At most, it is much stronger than the Dzogchen cultivator, but it is difficult to possess the true holy fighting power.
In the battle twenty days ago, the Purple Moon Army and the Four Elephants Army united, and the reason why they were able to unleash their holy fighting power was only because there were enough powerful gods in the Four Elephants Army.
Only in this way can the combat power of the manifest saint level be supported.
The strength of the military formation does not increase endlessly. If there are not enough strong people in it, there will be limits and shackles.
But despite this, Yang Tianyou is also very satisfied. It would also be good to have a few more powerful masters of the Great Perfection of God Transformation.
Besides, even if there is an emergency that requires a display of holy war power, it would be enough to second some elites from the Four Elephants Army to the Four Elephants Alliance to serve as a framework for support. I believe the alliance's top management will not refuse.
In addition to the Ziyue Army, the number of Yang family cultivators will also expand from the original 160,000 to the current 140,000 to 300,000.
In Yang Tianyou's view, the Yang family's current reserves of resources can fully support this level of expansion.
But after the expansion, we have to find ways to make money, because as the realm of the tribe gets higher and higher, the resources needed will become larger and larger.
