#1998 - Do you believe me?

When Jun Wu Xie saw that Nalan Jingyi asked about this matter, he turned around and sat down on the edge of the dragon bed.

"I can refine pills, and I can refine various grades of Saint Pills that have three times the cultivation speed of ordinary resources..."

"You can also refine pills?"

Nalan Jingyi's face was full of disbelief.

The art of refining pills requires a lot of time and effort to study, either by obtaining ancient formulas or by researching your own pill formulas.

If you research your own pill formulas, it requires a lot of energy and financial resources, and the chances of success are very small.

Only those with extraordinary talent and extremely talented Divine Pharmacists in pill refining can possibly research Saint-grade pill formulas.

A pill formula that is equivalent to three times the cultivation of ordinary resources is even more of a legendary pill formula.

"If that's the case, are you planning to refine Saint-grade pills to earn money?

But the price of Saint-grade pills is usually very low.

After all, Saint Realm cultivators are the middle level of the world's population.

The population base of Saint Realm cultivators is huge, and if you want to earn money by selling Saint-grade pills to them, you can only take the path of small profits but quick turnover.

Although you can refine pills, how many can you refine?

Even if I try to find all the pharmacists I can find to help you, it is far from enough to meet such a huge demand."

"Who told you that I want to earn money by refining pills?

As you said, to make money from Saint-grade pills, you need to refine a huge amount of pills to sell.

Moreover, even if the pills are refined, it will be difficult to sell them in large quantities in a short period of time.

If you want to make money quickly, you have to open up sales channels.

Just talking about our dynasty's sales channels, with Lanling King obstructing us, it is difficult to succeed, let alone other dynasties."

"If you don't sell pills, how will you turn those resources you've acquired into money?"

"Of course, I will sell the Saint-grade herbs directly."

"Ah?"

Nalan Jingyi looked blank, "I... I don't understand..."

She looked like a curious baby at this time.

"Let me ask you first, what is the market prospect for pills that can increase cultivation speed by three times?

Will Saint Realm cultivators break their heads to buy them?"

"Of course, this kind of resource is very precious to cultivators and can greatly shorten cultivation time.

Moreover, the price of Saint-grade pills is not high, so they are naturally willing to spend money to buy them for cultivation."

"Well, then tell me, will the flow of pills into the market attract the attention of the world's chambers of commerce?

They are very clear about how huge the continuous sales volume of this kind of pill is, it's an astronomical figure.

I only need to refine a small amount of pills and put them on the market, so that all the major chambers of commerce in the world will know, and then they will send people to discuss cooperation.

I will sell the pill refining method to them at a high price.

They will definitely frantically refine pills to sell.

In this way, the resources needed to refine pills will be consumed rapidly, and the demand will be extremely large.

At that time, do you think I can sell the acquired and stockpiled herbs at a high price several times higher?"

"Of course..."

Nalan Jingyi was a little excited, even in the dark night, she could still see the smile on her face and the light in her eyes.

In this way, it is indeed possible to earn a lot of money.

The more medicinal materials acquired and stockpiled, the more money you will earn at that time.

"If you go into business, you will definitely be a profiteer..."

She said jokingly.

"This is called making money with wisdom, and besides, even if I am a profiteer, I am still a profiteer for you, the empress.

You don't thank me, but you still tease me?"

"Then... how do you want me to thank you?"

In the dark night, Nalan Jingyi's beautiful eyes flickered, like two shining gems in the dark night.

"As long as it's not offering yourself, any way of thanking me is fine."

"Go to hell!"

Nalan Jingyi was ashamed and annoyed, and punched him, angrily saying: "This empress is the master of the dynasty, is offering myself to you a grievance?

No, this empress will not offer myself.

This empress will not be as cheap as Xiao Ruoqing, kneeling on the ground to give you..."

She didn't say the rest of her words, but her face was flushed, as if she remembered the scene she had peeked at through the crack in the door that night.

"You actually peeked?"

Jun Wu Xie was stunned, "The dignified Lanling Empress actually has this kind of special hobby, peeking at her personal guard and the empress having sex!"

"I... I I I didn't peek, ah, I won't talk to you, this empress is sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"

Nalan Jingyi suddenly lay down, pulled the quilt over and covered herself up.

"I said Your Majesty, shouldn't you not look at what you shouldn't look at?

Some things cannot be watched randomly, otherwise you will dream about them at night."

Nalan Jingyi did not respond.

In the darkness, Jun Wu Xie saw the quilt shake slightly.

He couldn't help but smile secretly, turned around and went back to his small bed, and did not continue to tease her.

Next, almost a month passed, and it was still relatively peaceful.

Every day, Jun Wu Xie accompanied Nalan Jingyi to court.

In court, there were no major events, but there were many trivial matters reported by the officials.

Many of them were tricks played by Lanling King to put pressure on Nalan Jingyi and try to exhaust her energy.

"That old thief Lanling King is making me angry!"

Inside the imperial study, Nalan Jingyi slammed the memorial in her hand on the table.

"Don't be impatient, he is making these small moves mainly to exhaust your energy.

Ignore it, just approve these matters on the memorials and hand them over to Lanling King for handling."

"But in that case, wouldn't it be easier for Lanling King to control big and small affairs?"

"That's right, theoretically that's the case.

However, many things are already under Lanling's control.

Letting him solve it can relieve your pressure.

What we need now is to wait for an opportunity.

It is estimated that in a few days, the news from the border will be sent back to the court.

At that time, Lanling King will release his real trump card.

We will have a chance to take back part of the power from him."

Jun Wu Xie had told Nalan Jingyi about Lanling King sending people to the Langya border military camp many days ago.

"As long as the important departments in the court are constantly controlled by us, the power of the Langya King in the court will be constantly weakened.

At that time, it will not be so easy for him to make so many small moves."

"What if the Langya border army really comes?"

Nalan Jingyi couldn't help but worry, "Mainly, Lanling King colludes with the Langya Dynasty, and we don't know what benefits he will promise to the Langya Dynasty.

Once he suffers a big loss in the court, and instigates the Langya border army to attack the city, promising them the benefits of ceding land and cities, it is not impossible for the Langya border army to do so..."

"Whether the Langya border army attacks the city or not is not important.

If they gather a large army on the border of the dynasty this time, how can we miss such a good opportunity, we can just wipe them all out."

"What?" Nalan Jingyi was stunned, "Are you saying you want to go to war with the Langya border army?

But most of the generals of our border guards are Lanling King's people, and they will only outwardly obey the imperial orders."

"You don't have to worry about these things.

Not only do we have to go to war with the Langya border army, but you have to personally lead the expedition, and announce to the dynasty that you will personally go to the border, command the three armies to meet the invading Langya border army, and be sure to annihilate them on the border land."

"Young Master Jun, I don't know what your plan is.

It is too dangerous for Your Majesty to personally lead the expedition.

Moreover, this announcement to the world will inevitably lead to a large number of strong people from both the Lanling Palace and the Langya Dynasty to secretly attack Your Majesty.

Going there this time is probably a narrow escape from death!"

Feng Ling said.

"No matter how many strong people they come, even if the gods come, as long as I am here, I can protect the empress."

He said, looking at Nalan Jingyi, and said: "Do you believe me? Do you dare to gamble according to what I said?

If you return in triumph from the expedition, your imperial power will reach an unprecedented peak.

You can't hide the fact that you are a woman forever.

In the future, you will eventually have to face the dynasty's people as a woman.

Therefore, you must accumulate prestige.

As long as you win this battle, even if you know that you are a woman, there will be no opposition from the dynasty.

Because you have already proven that women are not inferior to men."

"I believe you!"

Nalan Jingyi looked at him with firm eyes.

"Then how to control the border army?"

Feng Ling was still very worried.

If the border army does not obey orders, how can this battle be won?

"What is the realm of the person leading the army?"

"General Huwei, Qi Zhenshan, half-step Celestial God Realm!"

Feng Ling immediately explained Qi Zhenshan's information in detail.

"As long as it is not the Celestial God Realm, everything will be easy to handle.

Leave the matter of controlling the border army to me.

At that time, I guarantee that they will all listen to our command and dispatch.

By the way, Commander Feng Ling, how is the progress of the herb acquisition these days?"

"Very smoothly, with the cash and silver coins given by the young master, the acquisition speed has increased more than tenfold in the past half month.

Since we do not measure the acquisition of those six kinds of herbs, the major chambers of commerce have learned that, in order to earn the middle price, they have mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to collect and purchase from various places.

We don't even need to acquire from scattered small vendors now, the herbs sent by the major chambers of commerce every day are already huge.

As of yesterday, the six kinds of Saint-grade medicinal materials of various grades have reached hundreds of billions of tons!

According to reliable sources, the chambers of commerce of other dynasties are also collecting these medicinal materials, preparing to transport them to our imperial capital.

Obviously, they also want to seize this opportunity to earn money.

Young Master Jun, when will we start selling those pills?"

“No rush, let's wait patiently until the acquisition of those six medicinal ingredients is almost complete before we begin.”

“Young Master Jun, where exactly did you get so much cash and silver from?”

Feng Ling was very curious and felt it was unbelievable.

The amount was terrifying, tens of trillions of Lanling coins, almost equivalent to the entire dynasty's total fiscal revenue for a whole year.

Nalan Jingyi was also very curious.

They had asked many times, but each time Jun Wuxie just smiled mysteriously and did not answer the question.

“I'll tell you later, don't ask now.

In short, we can easily solve the treasury's problems.

However, this money seems like a lot, but the dynasty's expenses are huge.

The national treasury has been in deficit for many years, and the debts incurred due to financial shortages must be slowly repaid.

For example, the various equipment and training of the two elite legions are huge expenses.

There are also many livelihood issues of the dynasty that have not been resolved.

Before resolving the Lanling King issue, we must have a means to earn money in an orderly manner to replenish the national treasury.

By the way, what is the number of alchemists in the dynasty who can refine pills?”

“There are quite a few alchemists who can refine pills, but the proportion of God-level alchemists is low, and most are Saint-level alchemists.”

“Saint-level alchemists will do. Feng Ling, have people find Saint-level alchemists above the fifth realm. I need a large number of them.”

“I'm afraid we can only find those scattered alchemists, and poach them from those small and medium-sized commercial firms.

It will be difficult for us to poach from the large commercial firms.”

“Good alchemists are hard to poach, but those with average abilities should not be a problem.

We don't need strong abilities, as long as the alchemists meet the realm requirements.”

“Okay, I'll have people take care of it later.”

This time, Feng Ling didn't ask why.

She knew that since Young Master Jun asked her to do this, there must be a reason.
