Using health supplements to harvest these old men and women was a plan Lu Chen had come up with a long time ago.
There is no way. The rich people in Da Qi, Xixia, Liao and Jin are all old, and they are afraid of death. Who are you going to cut them down?
Isn’t it just that you want to have children? Isn’t it just that you want to have more than one child at a time? It’s actually easy.
Older men should eat more foods that can enhance the activity of tadpoles, such as pumpkin seeds and other foods rich in zinc.
Women should eat more foods that stimulate ovulation. Although the effect may not be too obvious, as long as the target audience base is large, there will always be a chance that a blind cat will catch a dead mouse.
Once such a case appeared, Lu Chen would dare to make a big fuss about this special case.
Anyway, the ingredients used are all food-related, as long as they don’t kill people, it’s fine.
Not only will it not kill you, but if you eat too much of it, it can actually regulate your body's functions. Do you think such a good thing should be sold at a higher price?
This is also the reason why Lu Chen is trying so hard to expand overseas. You always have to find something that these rich people have never seen, so that you can sell it at a good price.
Just when the dignitaries of Da Qi were starting a craze for taking health supplements, Lu Chen had already led his men all the way north to the border between Da Qi and Western Xia. He was finally going to see the train he had been longing for.
This railway extends from the outskirts of Xingqing Prefecture all the way to the border of Da Qi. There are three stations along the entire line. Currently, only the freight line is open. The speed of the entire railway is about 20 kilometers per hour.
In fact, before Lu Chen came, the entire railway had been in trial operation for a month.
For a month, the entire railway operated without any problems, and the staff here gave the railway a high evaluation.
According to the agreement between the two parties, after Lu Chen arrives at the border, the relevant personnel from Western Xia will come by train, and then complete the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the train with Lu Chen at the gate of the border town of Daqi.
In fact, at the beginning, Xixia tried hard to invite Lu Chen to Xingqing Prefecture, but considering Lu Chen's importance to the entire Da Qi, Da Qi would definitely not agree.
On the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there were loud drums and gongs and firecrackers, and officials and people from the border town gathered there.
The officials present were all very excited. They had witnessed the train's carrying capacity some time ago. If there were trains coming here every day in the future, their border town would become a new trade transit station on the border. The benefits would be enormous. The city entrance fees and commercial taxes alone would make these poor government offices rich.
The people were also very happy. The train could only go to the platform outside the city, and the goods had to be transported to Da Qi and had to be loaded and unloaded by them.
As long as there is work to do, there is money to be made. The more prosperous this place is, the better their lives will be.
The visitor from Western Xia this time was Li Yingxiao's eldest son. After the two sides met at the train station outside the city, they had a cordial and friendly conversation and fully exchanged their views.
The eldest prince of Western Xia fully affirmed the benefits that the construction of this railway brought to the areas along the line, and praised the concept of win-win cooperation between Da Qi and Western Xia.
At the same time, the eldest prince of Western Xia also conveyed Li Yingxiao's blessings to Lu Chen, and invited Lu Chen to visit Western Xia when he has time.
Lu Chen also expressed his approval and expectations for this railway, and said that with the gradual advancement of technology, the speed of trains will definitely become faster and faster. If there is a need in the future, a second or third railway line can be opened here.
Now it can only transport goods. When the technology becomes more advanced in the future, people traveling between Da Qi and Xixia will be able to take the train.
In fact, it’s not that people can’t ride on it now, as long as they can tolerate the noise and bumps.
Afterwards, both parties completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony together. When the scissors fell, the transport capacity of the Qixia Railway was fully utilized.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the merchants and nobles in the accompanying delegations of both sides had a cordial and friendly conversation, during which the two sides signed a number of cooperation intentions.
In addition, envoys from Liao and Jin were invited to attend the railway opening ceremony.
The envoys from Liao and Jin had heard that Da Qi and Xixia were planning to build a railway, but they did not understand the specific concepts of railways and trains until they saw the real thing today.
When the train whistle sounded and black smoke spewed out of the chimney, the Liao and Jin envoys were all shocked.
He didn't understand how this giant steel beast in front of him moved.
It is said that such a steel behemoth can work non-stop, which means that from this day on, the trade exchanges between Xixia and Da Qi will not be interrupted.
Unlike the Xixia people, the Liao and Jin people were accustomed to fighting, so when they saw any new things, the first thing that came to their minds was whether this thing could be used in war, and then the envoys of Liao and Jin fell silent.
Obviously, this thing can be used in war, and once used in war, it will be almost invincible.
The envoys could all imagine what it was like to see this thing galloping across the grassland. It was simply terrifying!
The knights of Liao and Jin were indeed extremely brave, but no matter how brave they were, they were just flesh and blood.
But look at this steel behemoth in front of you. What kind of existence is it? No matter how many cavalrymen there are in front of it, they will be crushed into powder!
So the envoys from Liao and Jin knelt down immediately, held Lu Chen tightly and refused to let go, and kept asking for a railway to be built for them as they also wanted a dedicated line.
If you can't beat them, just join them. There's nothing shameful about that. Only by actually using railways and trains can you find their weaknesses.
This made Xixia very angry. With such a good thing, they would definitely not be satisfied with just one. We were just discussing the second phase plan. Why did you come out to join in the fun?
Lu Chen first comforted the people on the Western Xia side, and then regretfully told the envoys of Liao and Jin that the technology for building railways was not yet mature and manpower was limited, so priority had to be given to the Western Xia side.
Of course, we understand Liaojin’s desire to own its own railway. You can make an appointment and pay the deposit first.
The envoys from Liao and Jin were also very happy. They signed a relevant contract with Lu Chen at that time and stated that as long as Yelu Song had no objection, the money would be immediately transferred to Lu Chen's account.
All of this was seen by the accompanying observation team of the Great Qi court, and they panicked.
Now it seems that railways and trains are both good things, and they were developed by their Chinese Academy of Sciences. There is no reason to let the Western Xia, Liao and Jin take advantage of them.
"No! We must report this to the court immediately. This kind of good thing should naturally be prioritized for our Great Qi! We can't let the Chinese Academy of Sciences do what they want. They're aiding the enemy!"

I'm really fed up with you old idiots. My mind is now filled with thoughts of being reborn into a world of spiritual revival and engaging in entertainment. I can't think straight anymore...
