Chapter 1142 The Reminder of the Wise King
When Junxian cleverly used Shangguo as a lever to gain huge benefits from the hands of the Holy Realm, Shangguo was also holding a meeting about the future of the Xianguo.
The meeting involved several continents and seas, with an impact range (in terms of area), almost one-tenth of that of the Immortal Realm.
Well, it’s a bit exaggerated. There are only one or two people coming to many places, but the scope of influence is still relatively broad.
After Yan Ze'an said the five words "sustainable development", everyone was immediately confused and didn't know how a "price cut storm" was linked to sustainable development.
Also, what does sustainable development mean? It sounds very reasonable.
Yan Ze'an took out the documents he had discussed with the wise king for a long time and began to explain:
"Dear friends in the Immortal Realm, everyone knows that cultivation cannot be separated from resources. The wealthy and Dharma land are indispensable.
But in fact, what is the land of wealth and companionship? Generally speaking, it refers to: wealth, friends who communicate and solve doubts, practice and Taoism, and a place of foundation and practice.
But I think wealth is not just superficial wealth, but various resources in practice. Including spiritual energy, elixirs, magic weapons, etc., this is the first and most important thing. However, this is also the biggest problem we are facing now.
In the past few hundred thousand years, we can say this: the number of practitioners is increasing, but the resources of practice are getting better and better, and this trend is developing at an accelerated pace.
If there were no accidents, perhaps in a few thousand years, Yingzhou would become a desert of practice. At that time, even a hundred years of medicinal materials would become legends.
In the past few years, I think you have experienced the difficulties of practicing. Because of the lack of resources, we only have skills, but it is difficult to achieve even the Nascent Soul stage."
Speaking of this, Yan Zean paused for a moment, but everyone looked at each other and nodded. Yes, it was only more than ten years, how could everyone forget the difficult years? Except for the people from Shang Dynasty, most of the remaining people were people who had practiced for hundreds of years or even thousands of years. Those difficult years had left an indelible mark in their hearts.
Yan Ze'an looked around and continued, guessing: "Everyone, although our resources are rich now, I must explain that these resources are actually the last resources in the Immortal Realm.
We have drawn up the wealth accumulated in the underground for tens of millions of years. Once this wealth is used up, the entire fairyland will become a desert and completely lose all its vitality."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
A man couldn't help but speak: "Is Prime Minister Yan saying that he wants to raise the price?"
"No!" Yan Ze'an's eyes sharply penetrated the person's heart, "I'm not trying to raise the price. I said these words today as a member of the Immortal Realm.
The rise and fall of the Immortal Realm is related to everyone here. Today, I don’t talk about the big truth, just talk about the most realistic situation.
According to the research of Shangguo's geological science department, based on Shangguo's current demand for resources, the oil and other resources stored underground can only be supported for about a hundred years at most.
This consumption is accelerating. As more and more people begin to practice and with the continuous development of society, our demand for natural resources will be endless.
The wise king once said that if we continue to develop at this rate, we will face the dilemma of scarcity of resources again for fifty years!"
Ao Zhen, the prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace in Yingzhou, spoke: "Did the wise king really say that?"
"Yes!" Yan Zean said with certainty.
Everyone present had a more serious expression. King Xian, in the past ten years, King Xian has almost become a "sage". If the King Xian said many things, everyone had to consider them seriously.
Moreover, everyone here is smart, and they cannot become masters if they are not smart, so they can understand the situation after a little thought. Underground resources are always limited. Once, everyone hollowed out spirit stone deposits and many spiritual material deposits. Although the oil is unique now, it is essentially just a kind of mineral deposit.
Moreover, because of the Shang Dynasty, the practice has seen an explosive growth, and the consumption of resources has become even more serious. Not to mention, now, not only practice consumes resources, but also wars, large-scale industrial production, etc., which one does not require a massive amount of spiritual energy.
Finally, Haozhou, the head of the Yunxiao Sect, Zhenren Xuanfeng, spoke: "I don't know what Shangguo plans?"
Yan Zean stretched out three fingers: "Three words, go out!"
After a little pause, Yan Ze'an continued: "The resources of one world are limited, but what about the resources of two worlds? What about the resources of three worlds?
Shang Kingdom has begun to explore the second world, that is, the moon.
Of course, there is a third world now sent to our doorstep, that is... the Holy Land!
The purpose of today's meeting is very simple, to tell everyone that judging from our current development speed, we still have a golden development period of fifty years, and we must break the shackles of the Immortal Realm within fifty years and at least conquer the first other world in order to continue the glory of the Immortal Realm.
This is not a request, nor is it a war launched for ambition, it is a competition for survival.”
"Sorry, I'll interrupt." Purple King of the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan of the Demon Saint Island spoke, "Prime Minister Yan, these words sound good, but today we are discussing the issue of sales of cultivation resources. I wonder what what you are talking about has to do with the sales of cultivation resources?"
The Purple King almost said directly - Yan Ze'an, you said you were off the topic.
Yan Zean smiled slightly: "It's related. The practice resources sold by Shangguo to the outside world will increase the export tariff by 10%. In other words, the pure liquid spiritual energy sold by Shangguo domestically is 5 taels of gold per liter, and the export price is 6 taels of gold."
This... everyone was stunned, so cheap? But I don’t know what you said earlier, what does it mean?
Yan Ze'an seemed to be able to feel everyone's doubts: "In fact, the meaning of Shang Kingdom is very simple. First, tell everyone the crisis we are facing now. Second, Shang Kingdom will be committed to providing cheap cultivation resources for this fairyland, promoting the prosperity of the fairyland, and preparing for the entire fairyland to go out.
I hope that in fifty years, we can have another such party in another world. But that will be a celebration!
OK, today's meeting ends here.
The cultivation resources you need can be queued up online to book.
For the time being, the Shangguo Congress will sell 50% of the resources to the outside world, and each time is divided into ten thousand pieces; each country, sect, family, etc. can only order one piece of resources at a time. For specific discussions, we only need to collect money, ship goods, and deliver goods to the Shangguo border at most. Please solve the problem of how to transport them later.
Let's go to the meeting."
After saying that, Yan Zean got up and left, leaving behind a group of masters and representatives present very rudely.
However, the representatives present did not leave, but began a fierce discussion - dividing resources.
But at this time, everyone gradually discovered Yan Zean's sinister intentions. Yan Zean was particularly nervous just now, so no one gave in to the resources.
For example, the representative of Zhao State, the royal family has to book one, and the Lingxiao Group, which is affiliated with the royal family of Zhao State, also has to book one, and representatives of several large groups of Zhao State, large families and sects. Once calculated, 84 applications were submitted by the power within the Zhao State alone.
Obviously, this doesn't work.
There were also representatives from Yunzhou who came to apply for a resource. Each representative applied for more than 110 copies in total, and naturally they were opposed by other representatives.
No one has made concessions. Now that there is more resources, one step further in its own development, and in the future, it will be more prosperous if it "invades" other worlds. The Shang Dynasty has set an example invading the affiliated world, and everyone has seen the rich benefits.
Everyone quarreled until afternoon, and finally parted in disagreement and agreed to continue the "quarrel" tomorrow.
But at this time, Li Xian met Lan Baolin in Qingyun Valley.
Lan Baolin followed Yuanlin into the temporary office of the Xianwang with excitement, tension, yearning, expectation and waiting.
Yuan Yun came forward to receive the two of them and arranged them in the living room. After a while, Li Xian came, Yuanlin and Lan Baolin immediately stood up excitedly.
"Sit down, don't be nervous." Li Xian smiled very gently, without any airs, and his dress was very simple, which invisibly relieved Lan Baolin's nervousness.
Yuanlin quickly stood up and sent Lan Baolin's document: "Xian Wang, this is Lan Baolin's information about Green Lin Investment Bank."
Chapter completed!
