Chapter 148 The True Character of a Hero
Long Huang and Murong Shu looked at each other in surprise, Yuan Yi asked puzzledly, "Master Wang, do you want to do business with war horses?"
It's not surprising that sects do business, especially sects above high level, almost all have a huge business system, such as alchemy, weapon refining, herbal cultivation and collection, material collection, resource trading, mineral mining, weapon manufacturing, etc. wait.
The income of the sect is astronomical almost every day. After all, the sects above the high level, except for the Wang Dao Xun Dao Sect, have more than 100,000 people. If there is no huge industry to maintain, the sect will not be able to continue.
But the war horse business has never been done by any sect. To be precise, they disdain to do it.
After the Shifang Continent was invaded by alien races, many animal species became extinct, but some large numbers of animals survived, including horses.
Hundreds of years ago, before the Valkyrie fell, horses were considered a strategic resource. Because there were horses in the Central Realm at that time, they were also amplified by the Valkyrie, and they had a very strong function of assisting humans.
But with the continuation of hundreds of years, almost all the horses in the central state were killed in battle, and the blood that survived became thinner and thinner, and their abilities became weaker and weaker.
The current horses basically do not have too strong auxiliary functions. They are basically means of transportation. If there is any auxiliary function, it can help human beings improve their overall strength a little.
And this slightly, that is, one in a billion, can almost be ignored.
Horses reproduce quickly, and it is not difficult to raise them. In addition, their functions are extremely poor, so not to mention sects, even businessmen with a little ability will not engage in horse business, because there is no profit at all.
The horses are raised by the country and the city owners themselves. Because they don’t cost much money, they are sold very cheaply. The monthly salary of ordinary people is enough to buy two or three horses. One can imagine how cheap the price is.
If you want to make money, you can only do as much as you can, but can ordinary merchants do more than the king and city lord?
This has led to the fact that only countries and cities can raise horses.
The Zongmen family has a great career, not to mention whether it can beat the country and the city with the amount of money, even if it can beat the enemy, so what?
It takes up a lot of land and employs a lot of people, and the result is a small profit, which is not enough to cover the sect's expenses for a few days, only a fool would do it.
So now that Wang Dao proposes to start a horse business, the four of them are very surprised. Of course, they don't think that Xun Dao Zong is short of money enough to earn this little fly money. Just say that the set of equipment Sun Yudie replaced, If it is sold, it will be enough for Xun Daozong to eat for more than ten years.
Of course, Wang Dao didn't think about earning such a small amount of money, but he smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm not in the business of war horses, but a business that can strengthen Shuhai City and Yonghen Country."
Long Huang and Murong Shu's eyes lit up. Murong Shu's energy-raising skills were much worse than Long Huang's, so he immediately asked impatiently, "Wang Zongzong, what kind of business is it?"
Wang Dao didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Lord Dragon, City Lord Murong, let me ask you, is there any gap in overall combat power between you and other countries and cities?"
Murong Shu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Compared with other cities in the northern border, there is no difference. It is nothing more than the number of soldiers, the level of the generals, and the reserve of strategic resources. The cities in the northern border are basically the same. almost."
Long Huang also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, as the main country, Yonghen Country is slightly stronger than other countries, but compared with other countries, it only has fewer soldiers and generals..."
Before Long Huang finished speaking, Wang Dao raised his hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to interrupt, let's just talk about the northern border without talking about other borders. City Lord Murong will stop talking about it. Since Yonghen Kingdom is more advanced than the northern border The other small countries in the border are stronger, so why doesn't Yonghen country ever expand?"
Long Huang said with a wry smile, "It's not that Wang Zongzong doesn't want to expand, but that he can't win. Even if it is stronger, it is not too strong. The number of cities under the jurisdiction of Yongzheng Kingdom is just a little more than other small countries, but the strength of each city Equally, if we really want to fight, we can’t just fight with the country, but also need to send troops from the city. Not to mention the real fight, it will take too long and consume a lot of supplies. Even if we don’t care about these, we can only win by numbers, even if we win in the end Yes, it was also a miserable victory."
Murong Shu sighed and said, "Yes, even if you win, other countries will take advantage of it, so now the northern border maintains a delicate balance."
Wang Dao smiled slightly and asked, "Then what if I increase your overall strength by 10 to 20 percent?"
Long Huang and Murong Shu were startled, and Murong Shu hurriedly said, "Let's not say 10% to 20%, even half of it is enough to break the balance."
Long Huang immediately asked, "The war horse business mentioned by Zhang Zongzong means that we can use war horses to increase our strength by 10% to 20%?"
Wang Dao snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Yes, as long as you send your war horses, I can make your war horses have extremely strong auxiliary abilities, which is enough to increase the strength of your soldiers and generals by 10 to 20%. Let’s subdivide it, according to different types of arms, give war horses different auxiliary abilities, maybe it can be improved even more.”
Long Huang and Murong Shu gasped, their faces full of shock!
Does Xun Dao Sect actually have this ability? ! Can war horses have powerful auxiliary abilities? Is this... Wang Zongzong a Martial God? !
"Wait!" Hearing this, Su Man hurriedly stopped Wang Dao from continuing, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Daozi, what are you going to do? You want to start a war in the northern border? Aren't you always the most opposed to war among the same clan? Isn't the northern border supervisor just to prevent the same clan from continuing to kill each other?"
Wang Dao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Aunt Su, I, the supervisor of the northern border, govern the sects and supervise those sects that do not do anything. The threats I made were only those sect warriors. When did I threaten them?" Have you crossed the country and the city?"
"The purpose of the existence of the sect is to improve the realm of warriors in the Ten Directions Continent and defend against foreign enemies. In other words, the main function of our sect is to fight, but over the years, the battles between the sects have been internal, so I said To monitor."
"But what is the role of the city and the country? It is development and construction. It should give the people of the ten continents, the undeveloped warriors, and our sect a good living environment. Their real combat role is only in border defense and security. So the role their combatants should play is to defend and maintain stability."
"I'm an outsider in this area. How can I supervise others? What I can supervise is to prevent them from initiating wars at will, causing people's lives to suffer, and reducing the quality of life and survival in the northern border."
"Even if the effect of the war is positive, then I will support their war instead."
"For example, I know that there are many cities and countries that are not on the border. Because there is no trouble of alien invasion, and there is no hope of improving luck, those city and country lords start to slack off, become extravagant, and even have many innocent deaths under their rule. Although life can still be lived, there is a huge gap between us and border areas that are always invaded by alien races, and our place has become a paradise instead."
"In this case, why should I protect them? Do I keep them from harming the people in the north?"
"If the sect doesn't act, I will kill them. Then I only have three words for the city lord and the country lord who can't guarantee the people's life at least..."
Speaking of this, Wang Dao suddenly said in a cold voice of Xiao Sha, "Kill without mercy!"
Yuan Yi, Su Man, Long Huang and Murong Shu's pupils shrank when they heard this.
Those three cold words show the true qualities of a king and a hero!
