Chapter 319 Lianhu Island.
Seeing that the arithmetic masters really accepted the seal and extended their lives, the rest of the tribe were overjoyed and filled with passion.
Immortal cultivation, immortality, these previously unattainable dreams, now as long as you work hard and make great contributions to your family, you can have them.
For a time, the efficiency of various departments on the island has increased a lot.
Even workers who are not suitable for research and study are enthusiastic.
They themselves have little hope, but the family has announced that contribution points can be inherited and accumulated, so they believe that as long as their ancestors work hard, their descendants will one day realize their dreams.
And because of their hard work and research, the research progress of various departments on the island is advancing rapidly.
In just one month, someone got inspiration from the spiritual tool secret book "Tiangong Baolu" that Chen Qingxuan bought before, and created a steel boat that can move without spirit stones.
And the power of that steel boat comes from water vapor and coal.
This steam-powered machine is also called a steam engine.
With the appearance of the steam engine, the workers on the island suddenly discovered that the steam engine seemed to be used in many industries.
Carriages, mills, furniture factories, blacksmith shops, cotton gins, textile mills, etc., all seem to be able to use it.
For a while, except for the Institute of Arithmetic, which still focuses on the development of arithmetic, most of the other researchers have devoted themselves to the ranks of steam engines.
Even, some curious monks were attracted to it.
Then, with the help of the cultivator's shaping spell, various steam machines were quickly manufactured and quickly entered an iterative state.
If there is a problem, fix it right away.
If there is no problem, various violent tests will cause problems.
In this way, in just two or three months, various steam machines have been iterated for hundreds of generations.
It has reached its best state so far.
In the factory, each piece of flywheel was spinning rapidly, and driven by it, bundles of beautiful fabrics were quickly spit out from the machine, and then entered the garment workshop next to it.
In the garment workshop, stacks of neat fabrics were brought in beside the half-person-high machines, and then cut into the required size and shape before entering the next process.
In the depths of the garment workshop, women are sitting next to the tailoring machines with smiles on their faces, stepping on the pedals, sewing the cut fabrics, and making all kinds of clothes.
In the last warehouse, several staff members stacked the clothes neatly, and then divided them into small piles according to the quantity, ready to distribute to each tribe.
Similar to the clothing factory, furniture factories, mills, and cart factories have also switched to more efficient steam engines.
Even farming used tall steam plows, seeders, and harvesters.
For a time, the number of products on Lianhu Island increased greatly, and soon there was a surplus of products.
No way, let’s take clothes as an example. It used to be that each person had three sets of clothes per year, but now it’s good. With the arrival of the steam engine, the efficiency has been greatly increased. One person still has ten sets of clothes left. The old people in the new clothes spoke out one after another, saying that it was too extravagant.
In response, the young people curled their lips. Aren't these clothes produced by the family just for the clan members? There is nothing luxurious about it.
However, soon, this phenomenon changed, because everyone found that the clothes produced by the garment workshop were too fast, and their own people could not stand it at all.
Unless each person has one hundred sets per year and changes to one set every two or three days, the island's small population simply cannot sustain consumption.
And if the clothes can't be consumed, then the female workers in the garment workshop will definitely have to be cut by a large amount.
Being unemployed is not a big deal, because there is a canteen, so everyone doesn’t have to worry about food and drink. But if you don’t work, you have no contribution points. Without contribution points, you can’t enjoy life, and you can’t accumulate contribution points for longevity.
There was no other way, so the steward of the garment workshop had no choice but to find the family guard for help.
After enjoying the convenience of the steam engine, if you want to return it, then everyone is definitely unwilling, so you can only release these excess production and consume it.
Chen Changzhi also strongly agrees with this.
In the past few months, the garment workshop has been working at full capacity, and these monks are not idle. When they are free, they must go to the wilderness to cast a spiritual rain to ripen the cotton for consumption.
But to be honest, Chen Changzhi got a little bored when he came here every day.
He often thinks again, how wonderful it would be if he could leave these jobs to others!
It just so happened that the family had too many clothes to wear, so he immediately had an idea.
After discussing with the family's senior officials, he sent a message to Uncle Jiu who was far away in Ziyun City.
Purple Cloud City.
The location of the original Chen's Danfu store has opened again at this time.
However, compared with the previous small shop, the Chen's shop at this time has already made a triple jump. Not only has the area expanded by three or four times, even the shop has been replaced by a magnificent hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, several good-looking ordinary women are smiling and introducing the customers who enter the door into the main hall.
Then it was introduced.
"May I ask this guest officer, do you need a magic weapon or a puppet spirit silkworm?"
"I heard that you have a new batch of clothes here, can you pay with cotton?"
"Yes! A set of clothes is exchanged for ten catties of cotton. Would the guest officer want to see it?"
"Okay, let's take a look!"
After a while, the moment he came to the exhibition hall on the second floor, the customer was dazzled by the dazzling array of beautiful clothes.
"This one, this one, and this one...
Of these [-] types, give me [-] sets of each. "
Hearing this, the Chen family girl smiled happily.
"Please wait a moment, sir, our manager will be here soon!"
After a while, Chen Qingling came forward with a smile on his face.
"Fairy Qingling!"
"Well! Leave it to me here! You go to the warehouse and let them get ready."
"Yes! Fairy!"
After giving instructions to the clansmen, Chen Qingling looked at the person who came, and saw that the other person was also a beautiful woman.
After the two got acquainted for a while, Chen Qingling learned that the other party was from the Meteor Islands. This time, he came here to buy some clothes to test the waters and see if they could be sold well.
If it's good, ask for a larger amount next time.
Knowing this, Qing Ling entertained him even more enthusiastically.
She is also aware of the plight of the island's textile industry, which faces two major problems: insufficient raw materials and excess products.
If the woman in front of him can be taken down, the problems on the island can be greatly reduced.
Especially after she learned that this woman's family also had a foundation-establishing consummation cultivator sitting in the town, she confirmed this point even more.
If you have the background and the heart, then the chances of continuing to cooperate in the future will be greatly increased.
After negotiating, in the end, the woman didn't have so much cotton, so she could only settle the remaining payment at the price of one hundred sets of Lingshi.
Before going out, she also warned, "Qing Ling, be sure to notify me when there is a new model!"
"sure!"
Watching the woman leave, Qing Ling shook the storage bag in her hand and smiled with satisfaction: "One thousand spirit stones, not bad!"
After all, in Qingling's view, the clothes on her island are too piled up, and now she can still sell Lingshi, even if the quantity is not much, it is enough to make her happy for a long time.
When she was happy, seeing the Chen family member who received the woman before, Qingling said again: "Xiaoyue, you go to the accountant and ask him to record a hundred contributions for you."
"Thank you Xiangu, thank you Xiangu!"
Satsuki is overjoyed!
You must know that this is the contribution point that can be exchanged for the chance of longevity, so she just moved her lips, there are so many, to be honest, if Xiangu is not still in front of her eyes, Xiaoyue would like to jump up to express her happiness.
Seeing her like this, Qing Ling shook her head.
Where is this? My ninth grandfather has dozens of times more than this.
While Qing Ling was talking, in a guest room on the third floor of the main hall, her ninth grandfather, Chen Guxun, was also receiving a white-haired and childlike foundation-builder.
"Chu Daoyou really brought spirit herbs and medicines worth [-] spirit stones?"
"Of course! Fellow Daoist, if you don't believe me, you can check it in detail."
Saying that, the old man surnamed Chu brought up a storage bag.
Chen Guxun opened it, and sure enough, he saw that the storage bag with hundreds of cubic meters was full of jade boxes.
Inside the jade box are full of mature medicinal herbs.
Ginseng, Ephedra, Magnolia, Honeysuckle, Juling Grass, Bingling Leaf, Chijing Zhizhi...
Simply everything.
It can be said that the other party has almost collected all the herbs in the Qi training stage.
After identification, these herbs were indeed real, and after counting the number, Chen Guxun said in admiration: "There are 53 plants in total, and the total is exactly [-] spirit stones. Fellow Daoist is really amazing!"
"It's all thanks to everyone, it's all thanks to everyone!"
The old man surnamed Chu was modest, and then asked about the pill.
Chen Guxun said: "Dare to ask what kind of pill you want?"
When the old man surnamed Chu heard the words, his eyes lit up, "As long as it is the best medicine, I want it!"
"That's good! Then Mr. Chen will give you all the pills from my Five Elements Island, and you will try it when you go back, and see which one is most in line with your wishes!"
"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu Xun!"
The old man surnamed Chu was overjoyed.
In fact, he didn't care about which kind of elixir to choose.
Anyway, as long as it is the top-quality pill, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell only is it not worrying about selling it, but it has to be sold at a higher price, otherwise it does not meet the value of the top-grade pill.
As for why he traveled thousands of miles to the Qiansha Islands and Ziyun City, it was naturally because he heard that raw materials could be exchanged for finished pills here.
Although both are exchanged according to the market price, how can the best medicinal pills be bought at the market price? They are all sold with a [-]% to [-]% increase, or even doubled.
So when he heard the news, he immediately ordered his men to collect all the elixirs nearby, and then quickly came to the Chen family shop.
It turns out that it can be exchanged for top-quality pills here.
The old man surnamed Chu was so happy that he wished he could immediately turn into a herbal medicine tycoon, buy all the top-quality elixirs of the Chen family, and monopolize them all, thus paving the way for him to further his foundation.
It's just a pity that he doesn't have so many spirit stones.
"But soon, the old man will have one!"
Thinking about the top-grade elixir that was about to be obtained, the old man surnamed Chu seemed to have seen the day when he would become famous.
After going back, he sold the elixir at a higher price, bought all the spirit stones he got, and then brought the herbs to the Chen family to buy more...
After waiting more than a dozen times, his family property will definitely double several times.
Even come dozens or hundreds of times, maybe his family property is more than those Jindan real people. At that time, he is afraid that he will not be able to prolong his life and break through Jindan, what a joke! While thinking happily, Chen Guxun pushed the door and entered, and put a few jade bottles on the table.
"Chu Daoyou, this is the pill that Chen prepared for Daoist.
Among them, there are three bottles of the top grade [Barrier Breaking Pill], worth [-] yuan.
The rest [Qingling Pill], [Qi Gathering Pill], [Enhancing Qi Pill], [Heqi Pill], [Nursing God Pill], [Enriching Blood Pill], etc., are [-] bottles each, worth [-].
In this way, fellow Taoist supports our Five Elements Island so much, and the fraction of the five hundred is waived for fellow Taoist, what do you think? "
(The price of the top-grade elixir is about one hundred spirit stones per bottle. But [Barrier Breaking Pill] is different. It is usually sold by the pill, one thousand per pill. And there is no bargaining. Because it is basically out of stock.) "Fellow Daoist Gu Xun is generous!"
The old man surnamed Chu naturally happily agreed.
500 yuan for spirit stones, it’s a little bit of savings, the spirit stones in his house were not blown by strong winds.
The deal was concluded, and both parties laughed and were very satisfied.
"Fellow Taoist Gu Xun, please stop disturbing Chu. Let's see you next time!"
"Fellow Daoist, have a good journey!"
……
A deal was concluded, and Chen Guxun just took a sip of tea and was about to take a break, but at this moment, the voice of his grandniece Qingling came from outside the door: "Grandpa Gu Xun, Grandpa Gu Xun, someone wants to buy a top-grade magic weapon. There are hundreds of pieces, so come out and have a look!"
"coming!"
After walking out the door, Chen Guxun immediately noticed a strong man full of evil spirits.
The other party said that if you want a complete set of magic weapons, it is best to have sword skills after formation.
To this, Chen Guxun agreed wholeheartedly, and brought the other party to the magic weapon exhibition hall, and let the other party see their newly developed magic weapon in Five Elements Island.
"This is the heart-to-heart mother blade. One mother blade and nine child blades. Between mother and child, heart and heart are connected. Holding the mother blade, you can control nine with one. It's amazing! And it only requires one piece of divine consciousness and one piece of mana! However, the disadvantage is that there is very little change between the sub-blade, and it is easy for someone to easily dodge it.
Of course, if the quantity is large, then there is still an advantage.
There are [-] spirit stones in this set of instruments, which are most suitable for group battles and for hunting monsters. "
After introducing the Lian Xin Zi Mu Blade, Chen Guxun picked up another magical weapon set.
"This is the Qingyun Sword Formation. With nine flying swords as the base of the formation, it can be transformed into a nine-nine-to-one sword formation.
As soon as the sword array came out, the 81 sword lights were reckless and unstoppable during the Qi training the foundation-building monks had to stay away.
The disadvantage is that this sword array needs at least three people to deploy, and the more people there are, the more powerful it will be.
When nine people form an formation, the greatest power can be exerted. "
Upon hearing this, the visitor's eyes immediately lit up. "How much does this sword formation cost?"
"This formation is six thousand three!"
"So expensive?" The visitor was shocked. This was much more expensive than ordinary spiritual weapons.
(Generally speaking, spirit artifacts: two thousand for low-grade, four thousand for medium-grade, eight thousand for high-grade, and twenty thousand for top-grade.) "The sword array requires nine top-quality flying swords as its base, and it also needs to be engraved with array patterns and arranged into an array. This is already very cheap."
"Okay then! Give me two sets of this sword formation!"
"Okay, fellow daoist, please wait a moment!"
"By the way, I heard that you still have top-quality spiritual clothing and armor here, so give me two sets too!"
"I'm sorry about that. There are no top-grade spirit clothes, only top-grade ones. There are also top-grade armors."
"Isn't there a top quality spirit garment?"
"No! My family's strength is limited here, and I have just started researching it. I hope fellow daoists will forgive me. If you have time, fellow daoists, why don't you go to the Yun family to have a look. They specialize in this."
"His over there? Forget it! The top-grade spirit clothes on his side are so expensive, I can't afford them! How about this, since there are no top-grade ones, let's get a few top-grade ones, anyway, there are protective clothing out there." A, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
