Two Great Daos
Under Qin Yan's governance, the lives of the people in Yunqing Two Prefectures are rapidly improving.
And it was not affected by the war!
The number of troops has exceeded 150,000!
The number of troops using firearms has exceeded 100,000, and the number of soldiers in the army who have reached the level of warriors is rapidly increasing.
The martial arts techniques passed down by Qin Yan enabled more people to reach the level of martial artists.
In the past, even those who only reached the most basic Qi-Blood Realm could become squad Squad Leaders!
Nowadays, at least the Skin-Refining Realm is required to meet the minimum standard.
The third edition of Qin Yan's Qi Circulation General Compendium of Qi Circulation can enable the vast majority of people to enter the Blood-Qi Realm!
Further advancements require arduous training and innate talent.
Even so, becoming a martial artist involves a tremendous improvement in all aspects of one's body.
They are definitely much stronger than ordinary people in the era of cultivation.
Even if the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is abundant, ordinary people do not change much.
However, the emergence of Martial Dao systems has given ordinary people the possibility of turning their lives around!
"My lord, the engineering corps has already begun constructing the road, and we should be able to complete it in two years at most."
The only slightly troublesome aspect is railway construction, as steel production is still insufficient.
Our mining technology is too outdated; we need large-scale mining equipment, which requires the research and development of scientists at the institute!
Zhang Xin reported the latest situation to the front line!
The Great Li Dynasty is not currently waging many large-scale wars; each side is constantly accumulating strength.
In addition to managing logistics, Zhang Xin also had to oversee the development of Yunqing Two Prefectures, which placed immense pressure on him.
Currently, all industries are in their initial stages and require a large influx of talent.
While the establishment of universities can quickly cultivate talent, it ultimately requires time to accumulate experience!
Qian Ying is indeed a genius, but even a genius is only one person.
The other party has limited energy and needs to focus on developing cutting-edge technologies in the most core areas.
How are our savings now?
"The major banks combined hold approximately 70 million taels, and your private treasury still has 40 million taels remaining."
A large portion of it has already been invested in development across various regions!
Fortunately, our industrial sector has been booming, and a large number of our products are being sold throughout the entire dynasty.
It barely gives us a little respite.
Zhang Xin told the truth!
Over the years, in addition to what Qin Yan gained from the battle, he also founded a bank based on his memories from his previous life.
He ensured that the people of both states deposited their money in the banks he established!
"Investment will continue to increase, especially in talent development and infrastructure construction!"
Don't worry about the money.
Qin Yan spoke calmly.
With a wave of the hand, twenty boxes appeared in the room.
"This is...?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Xin's eyes!
"Open it and take a look."
Qin Yan said casually!
Without hesitation, Zhang Xin immediately opened the box closest to him.
This sight immediately made him gasp.
It's filled with extremely high-quality gemstones; any one of them could fetch an astronomical price.
"My lord, these 20 chests can't all contain gems of this quality."
Zhang Xin's voice trembled slightly!
This box is worth at least a million taels of silver, and likely much more.
"Great! This time I had an unexpected bonus when I went out."
And this is only a part of it.
Qin Yan's lips curled up slightly, "The amount of gemstones I obtained this time is probably worth over a hundred million taels!"
Next, you need to work with the Ministry of Commerce to sell these gems.
Remember to control the quantity.
Ideally, it should be sold in several neighboring countries!
Qin Yan said calmly.
The quantity of gems he acquired was so large that if he were to sell them all at once, it would likely drive down the price.
Currently, they can only be sold separately to avoid drastic price fluctuations!
Hiss!
Zhang Xin gasped in astonishment; he had suddenly gained a fortune of hundreds of millions of taels of silver!
With this wealth, they have no need to worry about money and can pursue all kinds of projects freely.
That's over 100 million taels of silver!
Even the Great Li Dynasty, which had not yet split apart, only collected tens of millions of taels of tax revenue a year!
Qin Yan himself didn't have much need for money.
He has used most of his accumulated wealth for infrastructure construction and scientific research and development!
With massive amounts of money paving the way, industrial development has essentially experienced phenomenal, almost superhuman, growth.
As long as the basic industrial base is fully developed, its rise is only a matter of time.
"Within five years at most, our industrial level can basically reach the level of World War II in the previous world."
However, advanced technologies like nuclear weapons still need some time to mature.
Qin Yan thought to himself!
He can hand-craft a nuclear bomb now, but manufacturing it using technology is another matter.
This is indeed a difficult problem.
Overall, technology is developing too fast, even with its continuous acceleration.
It still cannot change the fact that its technological level is weak.
Only when the students of the academy grow and become fully engaged in it can we perhaps change our current disadvantage!
In his plan, Martial Dao and technology must develop simultaneously!
Without sufficient technological foundation, it is almost impossible for Martial Dao to develop rapidly.
Even without considering Spiritual Qi, basic food consumption alone is enough to disrupt the development of Martial Dao system!
The enormous demand for grains and meat, in particular, was simply beyond the capacity of an agrarian civilization to sustain.
Furthermore, it requires the consumption of various medicinal herbs!
A complete industrial system is needed to support the healthy development of Martial Dao civilization.
Cultivators are geniuses, one in ten thousand.
The Martial Dao system does not have such restrictions, so the consumption will be exceptionally huge.
When Martial Dao civilization reaches a period of rapid development, the consumption of various resources will definitely surpass that of the cultivation era.
However, a large population base can also give rise to countless super geniuses.
These people will lead the continued development of civilization.
A transformation in the level of life can also raise the lower limit of the human race, further increasing the probability of the birth of geniuses.
They are not only geniuses in cultivation, but also in science.
The development of science and technology is the application of the laws of nature, and it is also a supreme path.
The two routes complement each other.
Martial Dao are about self-development, while technology is about developing external things.
Both are indispensable.
In the future, it will surely break out of this world and head towards a wider sea of stars!
Qin Yan's mind was filled with endless daydreams.
This feeling of leading the development of civilization is quite wonderful.
After acquiring twenty chests of high-quality gems, Zhang Xin has begun distributing them to Great Li and several surrounding countries through the commercial sector.
All you need to do is harvest the wealth.
Having completed the industrial and technological transformation, the number of powerful individuals under their command will undoubtedly surge thanks to their industrial system.
A powerful army can help them sweep away everything in their path!
In terms of high-end combat power, Qin Yan must also train desperately, lest he fall behind!
Everything he painstakingly built will only end up in someone else's pocket.
This is not what he wanted to see.
In terms of cultivating high-end combat power, Zong Xiaoshan is definitely one of the core members of the entire force!
His talent is second only to Qin Yan's, and in just a few years he has already begun to break through to the Fourth Realm!
This kind of talent is among the best in the world.
