The villain helps me build infrastructure

Su Qiuyan's retreat is different from other people's retreat.

When other monks talk about seclusion, it must mean that they will stay in a certain place and cannot come out.

And the retreat that Su Qiuyan said was from nine to five, and he had to take a nap at noon, so on the first day of retreat, he successfully spent an hour in the refining workshop.

And at this moment, he also realized a mistake of his own.

It is of course good to make clocks and watches, but for Qingzhou people, because they have Ziyu, they don’t need clocks and watches, they just need to update the time on Ziyu.

However, since there is no such complete Ziyu system as theirs in other places, the business of watches and clocks still has a bright future.

And Qin Yue's birthday is coming soon, he really wants to give Qin Yue a watch as a birthday present.

Speaking of Qin Yue's birthday, according to his own statement, he was born in winter. I don't know the exact day. People in Qingzhou at that time couldn't even eat enough and clothe themselves warmly, let alone bother to remember his birth date. In those years, it would be nice for the children to grow up, and such things as birthdays have never happened.

But Su Qiuyan is not a casual person (?), as a salted fish with a sense of ritual, he kindly helped Qin Yue measure his bone age.

The bone age shows that Qin Yue's birthday should be in spring, maybe it was because the weather was relatively cold that year, so Qin Yue felt that he was born in winter.

The month is confirmed, and the only difference is the day. Qin Yue chooses and chooses, and chooses a good day on the fifteenth day, so in a few days, it will be Qin Yue's coming-of-age ceremony.

Naturally, Qin Yue didn't know that Su Qiuyan was preparing a gift for him. He didn't feel much about birthdays in the past. The only meaning was that after a successful winter, he would add one year to his age.

This habit is the same as that of all Qingzhou people. Everyone only remembers the season of birth, and does not make a special trip to remember the month and date.

But for this birthday, Qin Yue had different expectations.

, which means he is an adult.

After becoming an adult, the city lord should no longer treat him as a younger brother, right?

He's grown into a man, and a solid one at that.

He hoped that the city lord would realize this as soon as possible.

While Su Qiuyan was working hard to develop the clock, in a garden in Qu'an City, the Qingzhou shop's flower viewing party was held as scheduled.

Because there were a lot of people making appointments, Xu Yu rented a large garden, and also picked up several trained female nuns from Qingzhou, so as not to be overwhelmed by the guests.

On the day of the flower viewing party, many people came, not only the female cultivators, but also the male cultivators who accompanied them.

As soon as Qu Wan'er came, she saw some plastic sisters. She adjusted her expression and greeted them happily.

These people are all from the four major sects, and they must be dealt with, otherwise she would not want to associate with them.

Seeing that everyone is here, the flower viewing party will begin.

But this flower viewing party is not for viewing flowers. These colorful flowers in spring are just a foil. The real protagonists are a few Qingzhou female cultivators with makeup.

Although there are only two sets of eye shadows, they draw completely different beauties, some are light, some are sweet, and some are gorgeous, which dazzles the female nuns. I want to try it on my face.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the male cultivator who accompanied them.

They had never seen such a delicately dressed nun before, so they were naturally very curious.

Wang Ya smiled and said: "Next, we will ask the female cultivators who put on makeup today to explain to us the key points of each makeup look, and then you can try it yourself."

The female nuns were eager to try after hearing this.

They all bought "Taoyao" kits, and also put on makeup in the Qingzhou store, but after going back, they couldn't get the effect of the trial makeup, so this time the flower appreciation will be real for them. Just in time for the rain.

The female cultivators in Qingzhou explained in great detail. Before they came, Butler Xie told them whether they could promote Qingzhou’s cosmetics to other places. It would depend on this time’s flower viewing party—only the female cultivators who bought cosmetics If everyone thinks it is good, they will recommend it to others. Once it becomes popular among the female cultivators of the main sects of the four major sects, their things will not worry about selling.

Because of Qingzhou's meticulous preparation, the flower viewing party on this day was indeed very smooth. At least half of the people present learned two or three types of makeup, and the other half were a little slower, but they knew the basic methods and just needed to practice.

And because of the Flower Appreciation Fair, at least half of the various cosmetic items in stock in the Qingzhou shop were sold out.

Not only the female cultivators bought a lot to give away, but also the male cultivators, they were all very interested in cosmetics.

Xu Yu put down the ledger in his hand. The income recorded on it really made him a little breathless. He has lived for more than 40 years, and he has never seen so many spirit stones except when he was digging spirit mines.

It's only been a long time, less than a month, and the money earned by this shop alone is enough for Qingzhou people to spend on food for a month.

Sure enough, business is still making money!

He packed up all the spirit stones he earned, and was waiting to buy food tomorrow.

As for what to buy, he also got the list from Butler Xie.

It was just the first time he went to purchase so much food, and he was still a little apprehensive.

The next day, Xie Ang came to pick up food. He is already an old driver in Qingzhou City, and he chooses to drive instead of taking other flying instruments every time he comes.

This car has an automatic driving function, and if he is tired, he can sit and rest for a while.

But most of the time he will not be tired, because exploring the world outside Qingzhou is a very interesting thing.

He has been locked up in Qingzhou for more than 50 years, and he only sees the one-acre three-point land every day when he opens and closes his eyes, but now it is different. He has a car, and he can hold the steering wheel to go to any place, even at the end of each time. Both are Qu'an, but he will choose a different path.

Mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests...he can never get tired of looking at these scenery.

That's why Xie Ang always had a smile on his face every time he arrived at Qu'an City.

This time is of course no exception.

But when he saw the store's profits, the smile froze on his face.

Not because she was unhappy, but because she was too surprised, so surprised that she didn't know what expression to put on.

"Why so many?!" He asked in disbelief.

Xu Yudao: "Taoyao's box sets alone earned nearly 15 spirit stones, and the sales of glass were also about [-]. If it wasn't for the fact that the output of top-level glass was not too small, the sales could go up. Half of the cosmetic items, as well as mud, bricks, etc., made about [-] spirit stones this month."

Xu Yugang was also surprised when he calculated this number, but he was relieved afterwards, because the four major sects are too rich, and the 15 spirit stones they earned are low-grade spirit stones, which is three thousand if converted into middle-grade spirit stones. It's just a medium spirit stone.

Spiritual stones are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and extreme-grade according to the content of spiritual power. The conversion ratio between each adjacent type is uncertain, but it is generally around [-]. In places like the Eastern Realm, Generally, low-grade spirit stones are used, because the spiritual power here is not as rich as that in the center of Xianlu, and the spirit stones produced are almost all low-grade, but the spirit mines occupied by the four major sects are the worst. .

In Qingzhou's originally exhausted green mine, the nine layers of spiritual stones were all low-grade, and the middle-grade ones had been dug out long ago. However, the newly discovered green mine, the reason why Su Qiuyan was surprised by the amount of spiritual stones in it was because of the deep-buried Those estimates are all mid-level starts, otherwise it would be impossible for the measuring instrument to measure such a terrible number.

But no matter what, the 15 low-grade spirit stones still shocked Xie Ang.

Because this is almost the amount of food their entire city consumes for more than a month.

You know, there are more than 2000 people in Qingzhou now.

Xie Ang felt a little thirsty, and couldn't help drinking saliva to calm his shock: "Then I can stop coming to pick up food for a month?"

Xu Yu nodded.

Xie Ang took another sip of water.

Glass factories and cosmetic factories are like chickens that lay golden eggs!

If they were replaced with animal skins, they would not be able to sell at such a price, not even mud bricks, so Xie Ang added another item in his philosophy of life, in order to sell well, in addition to technical content In addition, it is also necessary to meet the condition of "I have what no one else has".

Once "other people have nothing, I have", there is no fear of no Lingshi.

Besides, Qingzhou's production capacity is limited now, and what can be seen is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire market. If they increase production...

Dare not dare to think, Xie Ang drank a lot of water, woke up twice that night, and returned to Qingzhou the next day with a pair of swollen eyes to report to the city lord.

"Is the shop so profitable?" Su Qiuyan asked in surprise.

Xie Ang nodded happily: "This moonlight is the store's income, which is enough to buy more than a month's grain, plus the income from other departments, it is estimated that the warehouse can increase the grain inventory for two or three months."

Su Qiuyan nodded: "Food is indeed the most important thing. The spirit stones in the city this month are mainly used to purchase food."

There is food in the warehouse, so I don't panic.

But now that there are more and more exchanges between Qingzhou and other places, and more and more spirit stones are earned, the past contribution point system is not suitable.

The reason why this system was adopted before was that Qingzhou had no money or food at that time. At that time, talking about currency was like talking about rootless water-it would definitely not work to send out spirit stones. All the spirit stones in Qingzhou City Adding it up is only enough to buy food, and after sending out spirit stones, everyone can't find a place to use them.

So to a certain extent, the contribution point is like being controlled by him. The electronic currency circulating in Qingzhou city is supported by him, and the materials supported are the income created by the whole city.

It's just that this system must usher in changes now, because they have to connect with the currency system outside the city.

Su Qiuyan told Xie Ang his thoughts: "In the future, contribution points can be directly exchanged for spirit stones. As for the exchange rate, it will be determined according to the situation in the city at that time."

At present, this is the only way to do it. Although Qingzhou seems to have a bright future, it is still poor at this stage. It is so poor that there is no way to give everyone spirit stones directly, because they can't give out so many spirit stones, so they can only exchange them. How many spirit stones to exchange, and what is the exchange ratio, must be analyzed in detail on specific issues.

Moreover, many people in Qingzhou don't need Lingshi now, and they rarely go to other cities. Of course, this situation will gradually change in the future. On weekends, Su Qiuyan will also consider opening special cars to travel with other cities.

It's just that he's not ready to do it yet.

Because Xianlu is not peaceful, and the world is not peaceful, it is undoubtedly a stupid thing to let one's own people out to go shopping.

The reason why they went to Qu'an to open a shop instead of going to other places is also for this reason. Qu'an is the most peaceful place in the entire eastern region. Once Qu'an is not peaceful, the eastern region will probably be in chaos, let alone buying and selling things , To be able to survive is God's blessing.

But it is not realistic for Qingzhou people to go shopping in Qu’an, because it takes more than half a day to go to Qu’an alone, and they are not allowed to go out at night. They have to spend the night in Qu’an. Staying here for one night, all the spirit stones are spent.

Su Qiuyan in other small towns was also worried, so the people of Qingzhou could only move about in Qingzhou, which was also the status quo of the small towns in the east.

Therefore, the best way now is to unify procurement and maintain the status quo.

But it is imperative to open the exchange of contribution points and spirit stones, because people like Xu Yu who work in Qu'an need spirit stones.

Xie Ang understands that it is open to exchange, but it is estimated that this function is only used by people who often go to Qu'an.

"Don't worry, the city lord, I'll find someone to discuss it."

Contribution points are equivalent to Qingzhou's currency, and how to connect with Lingshi has to be calculated by professionals.

Su Qiuyan nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. This matter is quite troublesome. You have to worry too much."

It is indeed difficult, but Xie Ang is not afraid, because he thinks this is a sign that Qingzhou is getting better.

At this time last year, the city lord would not have thought about this issue at all, because they were not qualified at all.

After Xie Ang left, Zhou Hai came.

Seeing Zhou Hai, Su Qiuyan felt a little guilty for no reason. His first watch hadn't been made yet. Brother Zhou couldn't have finished the production line of the car, right?

Facts have proved that his understanding of Zhou Hai is very accurate, and Zhou Hai is indeed talking about this matter.

"I already have an idea about the production line, and now I need trained people." Zhou Hai said.

He plans to make a certain number of sports cars first, and then put them on the market in a unified manner. If the number is too small, firstly, it will not be enough to sell, and secondly, if the follow-up production cannot keep up, it is easy for others to steal the idea and seize the market.

Therefore, this sports car can only be sold after the production line is completed, so as to seize the opportunity.

Su Qiuyan nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhou Hai's opinion. As for the training class, it is not difficult. Now many people in Qingzhou have graduated from the literacy class, which means they have completed the compulsory courses, and the next step is the elective courses.

Such as vehicles, make-up, etc., can be taken as elective courses. As long as you are interested, you can learn it. After you finish your studies, you can go to work in various factories.

"It's just that I have to trouble Brother Zhou to become a teacher."

For their elective courses, the teachers who take the classes must be people from various factories, or directly the developers of the products, so they are very targeted, and they can be used immediately after learning, and there is no problem of disconnection at all.

After sending Zhou Hai away, the guilty Su Qiuyan struggled for a while, but decided to give up the nap and plunged into the crafting workshop.

He set a small goal for himself, today he must solve the technical problem of displaying the time on Ziyu, and tomorrow he must make the watch that was given to Qin Yue.

If this small goal cannot be achieved, he will, he will, he...

He will not allow Xiao Jinlong to sleep in!
