Shinsding's eyes lit up when faced with so many novel things.
"Your Majesty, I want them all, I want them all!"
"These are very expensive!"
New Silky, "Expensive? More expensive than durian?"
Pfft, Chenxi almost burst out laughing. This guy's got a problem with durian.
"More expensive than durian!"
Shinsding looked extremely pained, "I want it too, I want it, I want it~"
Shenxi pointed to the fighter jet, "This kind of thing is worth ten thousand taels of gold!"
Shinsding's mouth gaped open, unable to close, "Ten thousand taels?!"
Shenxi nodded with a smile.
Each fighter jet costs three thousand taels of silver.
But what exactly is advanced technology? Doesn't advanced technology research require money?
To build the fighter jet, Jin Piaoshu's hair had turned completely white, and he had spent millions of taels of silver.
That's how they managed to get the fighter jets into the sky.
It's labor-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming.
If others want it, it's bound to be expensive! Especially at the beginning.
"Oh God!"
No matter what I say, it's no use.
If God is useful~
Why waste so much energy and money? Wouldn't it have been enough to just pray?
In the end, Shinsdin still couldn't bring himself to spend the money to buy fighter jets.
But it still cost a lot of money to order cannons and warships.
He didn't buy the warships that Chenxi used; they were too expensive.
They bought the ordinary warships, the kind that follow and guard behind Chenxi.
These are much cheaper, 10,000 taels of silver.
Shinsuddin gritted his teeth before finally deciding to buy two boats.
However, the one from Shenxi will not be given to him directly; the Great Xin Dynasty will need to send two more ships over.
The travel expenses still need to be paid by Xin Siding.
The shipping cost of over a thousand taels of silver once again made Xin Siding gasp repeatedly.
But when I saw these weapons before, they only fired a few shells, yet they still managed to make the sea surface churn and the waves roll.
If this were used to bomb the ships in the Romantic Kingdom, they would all be blown to smithereens.
Shenxi declined Xinsiding's invitation to stay at the palace.
She could always smell the stench of feces and urine.
I don't want to get marinated.
Back on the warship, after washing up, Chenxi lay on the comfortable bed, smelling the fresh floral scent in the air, and finally recovered.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that if you sell large ships and cannons to the Kingdom of Luo, they will become powerful and turn against us in the future?"
Di Yingxue didn't understand why Chenxi would sell the weapon to Xinsiding.
"What they bought is something we'll be obsolete soon; we'll have more advanced weapons."
"Can……"
Di Yingxue still felt uneasy.
These weapons are safest if they are kept in our own hands.
"Yingxue, I know what you mean, but with the smooth flow of sea transport, no matter how strict the defenses are, it is inevitable that the technology will be stolen."
Back then, we didn't get anything.
Selling to them now is like making money while lying down.
"But that's a matter for the future. We can keep it a secret for as long as possible, that way it's safer."
Shenxi gently patted Di Yingxue's hand, "We can't hide it for long. Just look at these weapons and ships that are about to be phased out. They won't be of much use in the future. They'll be scrapped if they're not maintained, and the maintenance costs are quite high."
"Just destroy it. It was all built with real money."
Di Yingxue wanted to say something more, but Chen Xi smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Luo Guo won't get up."
I plan to send Zhao Rong to the Land of Romance to do business with them!
Di Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise.
She was very smart; she grasped the key point immediately and understood.
Seeing that Di Yingxue had come to her senses, Shenxi didn't bring up the matter again.
Di Yingxue asked, "Your Majesty, how did you manage to eat those foods without changing your expression?"
Thinking of those bloody steaks and still-beating sashimi, Di Yingxue still felt a wave of nausea.
"You may not have seen it, but Zhao Rong and the others are looking at you with eyes full of admiration."
Zhao Rong was already quite robust, but he didn't eat much.
That is Qi Xiuwu, a true hero!
The Emperor is a valiant warrior!
"Hahaha!" Shenxi laughed. What's this? In her past life, she ate plenty of these. She enjoyed live fish sashimi and had her fill of rare steaks.
But she prefers it medium-rare.
That's the perfect balance between raw and cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"If you get used to it, it's quite good."
I've decided to open a few stores like this in Daxinchao in the future, specializing in steaks, hamburgers, fried chicken, fries, pizzas..."
What are hamburgers, pizzas, and pasta?
Shenxi then realized that the Great Xin Dynasty did not have these things in this world.
"You'll see later." This is a very profitable business.
The constant production of so many new weapons, along with subsidies for impoverished areas and households, industrial development, and agricultural strengthening, has already emptied the national treasury.
This trip is also for making money.
Without money, nothing can be accomplished.
Seeing the gleam in Shen Xi's eyes, Di Yingxue knew that the Emperor had another lucrative business opportunity.
"Your Majesty, that Xin Sihua, she's been trying to come in..."
Di Yingxue couldn't continue speaking; Xin Sihua was dressed so coolly.
Who doesn't understand what it means to come in and keep Chenxi company?
"Let him get some rest. I'll sleep in the big bed myself; it's the most comfortable one!"
Without saying a word, Di Yingxue went to deliver the message.
As Shenxi's secretary, along with the accompanying ministers, none of them wanted their emperor to favor a foreigner first.
If I get pregnant, it will be the eldest son or daughter, which will cause some trouble later.
Therefore, Shenxi did not invite Xin Sihua to his bedchamber, which pleased Di Yingxue and the ministers.
They even privately encouraged Fang Chenyan to tie up Xin Sihua.
However, they dared not act rashly without the Empress's permission.
They wanted to wait until the Empress had rested before offering their advice the next day.
Sure enough, the next day, Shenxi received their advice.
Shenxi ignored him.
Although she enjoys looking at handsome men, she doesn't want to sleep with men she has no feelings for.
Seeing that Shenxi remained silent and showed no interest in Xinsiding, the ministers decided to hold off on the matter for the time being.
After all, the main task now is to establish overseas bases.
Zhao Rong led a portion of the warships and soldiers to the Romantic Kingdom.
Shenxi, along with his large army, stayed in Luo Kingdom for a few days.
She got along very well with Shinsuding.
Xin Siding gritted her teeth again and ordered a lot of expensive silk, fine tea, exquisite porcelain, and, of course, the durian she had been longing for...
Xinsiding, having been emptied of her savings, never wants to see Chenxi again. Goodbye~
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist and would end up going into debt to buy more nice things.
Shenxi was not idle; he took a tour of Luo Kingdom and met some people from high society.
They are welcome to send people to do business in the Great Xin Dynasty.
At the same time, they also wanted to do business in Luo Guo.
For example, we could sell the wines from the Da Xin Dynasty here. Or, we could build a factory here.
Although the king of Luo Kingdom wields considerable power, he still needs to deal with people from high society if he wants to conduct these transactions.
Otherwise, even if the king allows it, it's all for naught; if these upper-class people don't allow it, it can't be sold.
