In fact, Li Xiang didn't need to remind everyone, because everyone present knew that this thing must be expensive.
That's Fei Tian, how can Fei Tian be cheap? What a joke! How much do you look down on immortals!
Now when Liang Licang heard that Cui Shanzhan wanted to equip the army on a large scale, he knew that the Ministry of Revenue would have to bleed heavily again.
Speaking of which, Liang Licang has been living a very comfortable life recently. Since the establishment of the central bank, the Ministry of Revenue has saved a lot of expenses.
Now that the Ministry of Revenue can finally save some money, he is so happy that he can't sleep every day when he looks through the account books.
But before he could even warm up this little bit of silver, someone had already set their sights on it!
It would definitely be different if the army changed its uniforms, and the money certainly couldn't come from the central bank.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say whose armies these would be in the future, so Liang Licang had to take the money whether he wanted to or not!
Liang Licang’s only hope now is that this low-altitude aircraft is not too expensive, one million taels for one, no more!
Just when Liang Licang had set his bottom line in his mind, Li Xiang also spoke.
"I won't beat around the bush with you guys. If it's an official purchase, it'll be 100,000 taels each. Currently, the purchase is only open to the military and government. No matter how much they offer, we won't sell it to you!"
One hundred thousand taels each?!
Liang Licang's eyes almost popped out!
Although one hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, compared with this flying thing in front of him, one hundred thousand taels is too cheap!
No wonder Li Xiang added that it was only sold to the army and government.
If this kind of thing were put on the market, Liang Licang believed that there would be countless wealthy businessmen waving silver notes in their hands and begging Li Xiang to sell it to them.
One hundred thousand taels is nothing, they would also be willing to pay five hundred thousand taels or one million taels.
After all, it’s flying! Who doesn’t want to go up to the sky to take a look and touch the clouds in this life?
Compared to this, one hundred thousand taels is really a bargain!
"Okay! That's settled then. I wonder how much the Chinese Academy of Sciences can deliver in a month?"
"Two, this is already the current limit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I hope you can make good use of it! Master said that we are not using this thing to make money, but to hope that Da Qi can rely on it to become a richer and stronger country. Where to use it in the future, we still need everyone's collective wisdom!"
Look! Listen! What is the pattern? This is the pattern!
Compared to a certain old Taoist who thinks about immortality all day long, Master Lu is indeed serving the country and the people as always!
Such good stuff was taken out, but it was sold for only 100,000 taels of silver. It's really too conscience!
Many of them felt a little ashamed. They thought that if it were them, even one million taels would not be enough to buy this thing.
And many people will hide this thing. Why should I share with you something that can fly into the sky?
General Wei stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We understand the Imperial Master's courage and broad-mindedness. Please tell the Imperial Master that the soldiers at the border will make good use of these balloons. However, isn't two a month too few? Could production be increased?"
Li Xiang shook her head and said, "It's difficult at the moment. This requires a large number of skilled workers, and apprentices need at least a year of training. If you want large-scale equipment, you'd better wait a little longer."
"Is that so? That's such a pity. Please tell Master Lu that we are not in a hurry. Please take care of yourself. Two a month is enough for us."
"Bah! Do you still have any shame? I didn't say anything when you said both of them were yours, and now you're excited, right? Didn't you hear what the little prince said just now? This thing can not only be used in military affairs, but it's also very useful for conveying the court's orders."
Wei Yong stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, we can't give all this stuff to the army. We should at least leave some for us. With this stuff to convey government orders, our efficiency will be greatly improved!"
A group of civil servants nodded frantically, saying that time was too slow these days and a person only had enough time to love one person in his lifetime.
It would be great if we had something like balloons to help transport letters and goods!
They had just asked about it, and it was actually not difficult to operate this thing, and there wasn't much to do once it was in the air.
That is to say, after people go up there, they can just shout and let the thing run on its own.
This efficiency is extremely high. Even if its speed is the same as that of a horse-drawn carriage, it does not need to rest. The carriage cannot catch up with it even if it rides at full speed.
What's more, it's flying in the sky, so there's no need to consider the terrain, you can just travel in a straight line. This thing is really awesome!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but think of the train idea that Lu Chen had proposed.
If Yangxuzi had not strongly opposed it and even brought up the dragon vein as an excuse, it would probably have happened by now!
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Li Xiang said, "Everyone, please be patient. This thing will gradually become popular. Master means that it should be delivered to the military first."
"As for delivering information to the authorities, Master suggests setting up a dedicated department. What do you think, gentlemen?"
Agree! I absolutely agree. I totally agree.
With a new department, there are new positions, and many people can move around.
The officials of Da Qi were jubilant, while Gondor and others on the other side were in despair!
Family, who understands! I really closed my eyes and chose what I thought was the most difficult problem, but who knew the other person actually solved it!
That’s Fei Tian!
When Gondor saw the monster, he felt like his soul was frozen.
Cui Shanzhan could see the changes this thing brought to the battlefield situation, and Gondor could naturally see it as well.
Gondor felt a wave of despair when he thought about what would happen if Da Qi was equipped with such monsters in large numbers, and when he thought about their warriors facing such monsters everywhere in the mountains in the future!
Yangxuzi was also in despair. He originally thought that Lu Chen only knew some small tricks. Although he couldn't understand them, he felt that they were nothing.
However, it was not until today that he finally realized how big the gap was between him and Lu Chen!
What kind of existence was he fighting against? Would Lu Chen bear a grudge against him for the tactics he used against him back then?
Just as Yangxuzi and Gangduo were contemplating their next move, Li Xiang chuckled and said, "Today we're sparring, right? Look, our sect has brought out the real stuff. Isn't it time for you two to show off your skills? I heard that Taoist Master Yangxuzi can refine the elixir of immortality. I heard that even a chopped-off head can still jump around. Can you demonstrate it?"
