The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2496 Development Zone

Qingguo, Guguo, Lidian and many families constantly opposed Fang Yun and Jingguo's reforms. Everyone thought Fang Yun was already exhausted. In fact, Fang Yun not only did not care about them, but began to command Gongdian and Jingguo's Ministry of Industry to open up new markets.

Therefore, the real focus of these Tiangongdians is to develop products suitable for aquatic people, and at the same time, they are also studying the needs of all races in the world.

The number of aquatic people in the four seas far exceeds that of the human race in Shengyuan Continent, so aquatic people are an extremely broad market.

The situation in the ocean is very complicated. Many human supplies cannot be used in the sea at all, but it is precisely because of this that there are more business opportunities because there are no competitors.

The types of items purchased by aquatic people from the human race are very limited. Basically, there are only two categories: land food and calligraphy and painting, and the transaction volume is very limited. After all, there are too many foods in the water, and aquatic people eat land food just to taste it.

The dragon race has left many inheritances and does not need humans in many aspects. For example, the ancient brewing level of the dragon race is still higher than that of the human race, but it lacks some special raw materials, and the brewed wine is far inferior to that in ancient times.

As for weapons, the aquatic race is not inferior to the human race, and they directly use the underwater volcano to forge.

A small peninsula quietly appeared on the southeast side of Yuhai City. It was formed by the dragon race and the workers who joined hands to fill the sea. The workshops on it started construction one after another. The Jingguo Yunhai City Marine Technology Research and Development Center was established in the center of the peninsula, which actually researched and made aquatic supplies.

The East China Sea Dragon Palace was responsible for providing information on various aquatic races, including the number of tribes, habits, common items, the environment, etc. Experts from all aspects of the human race began to analyze and formulate various exclusive supplies for the aquatic race.

However, this was the first time that the human race did this. They couldn't find a clue for a while, so they could only start by imitating the things needed by the aquatic race.

Soon, the habits and aesthetics of the races formed a gap. The aquatic race was not satisfied with many items designed by the human race, but in order to support Fang Yun, they still decided to purchase some, but the purchase volume was very small.

The Gong family was anxious. Gongdian and Fang Yun's goal was to turn the entire Yuhai City into a super-large workshop city for the water tribe. With this amount of purchase, more than a dozen workshops that had launched new institutions could complete it in one month, which was less than one-tenth of the expected amount.

There was no way, so the Gong family had to ask for help from all parties.

After Fang Yun learned about it, he shook his head, took out some white paper, recalled the weapons and tools of the water tribe in ancient times, selected some items that the human race could make, and designed drawings.

The chain giant anchor that the ancient whale tribe liked most, the dragon scale helmet that the fish monsters popularly protected their heads, the metal flippers that the turtle tribe liked to add, the corrugated armor on the surface of the shells of the shell tribe, the side ramming horns of the crab tribe...

Most of these items only appeared in ancient times, but with the decline of the dragon tribe, a large number of craftsmen, drawings, inheritance and technology were lost. Not to mention making them, many water tribes have forgotten that they have these items.

In fact, it is very difficult for the human race to make it out of thin air, but Fang Yun got everything in the entire Dragon Soul Battlefield, and there are too many items preserved, which can completely allow the human race to reverse engineer, crack the production method, and improve and manufacture the mechanism suitable for the aquatic race in the human way.

Due to technical and material reasons, the aquatic supplies made by the human race may not meet the standards of the ancient times, but it is entirely possible to create a low-end version. As long as the energy can be continuously produced, as long as the technology can be continuously accumulated, more people can be absorbed, more value can be created, and the human race can be prevented from falling into crisis, it will be the greatest success.

After the Gongjia scholars got Fang Yun's samples and drawings, they were overjoyed and immediately started research.

Only halfway through the research, the Gongjia sent people who were good at negotiation to find the aquatic race with the drawings and boasted about them.

When the aquatic race saw these familiar ancient utensils, they didn't care about whether they were true or false. They immediately paid a considerable deposit and promised to deliver the raw materials needed to make these utensils immediately.

Especially the wealthy whales, who almost cried when they saw the ancient chain anchor, repeatedly persuaded the human race not to rush for success, but to take their time and make the best chain anchor. The whales would rather wait for ten years at a high price than to buy cheap defective products.

So, while workshops in the ten countries were still trying their best to compete for the human market share, the workers of Jing country had already started to manufacture and take on the largest machinery order from the water tribe in the history of the human race.

With the injection of the water tribe deposit and raw materials, the workers decided to build a new city directly outside the south of the city. Fang Yun instructed to name it Huating Development Zone.

Yuhai City was originally one of the most important cities in Jing country, and now it was going to expand the development zone, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire human race.

So, merchants from all over the country flocked to Yuhai City to find business opportunities and to gather intelligence.

For some reason, some rumors began to spread in Yuhai City, saying that the items made for the aquatic creatures all have evil power, and whoever is responsible for making them will have their souls absorbed, and finally their souls will be scattered and unable to reincarnate.

Then, rumors spread that the money of the workshop was earned by the officials of Jing State headed by Fang Yun, and the workers worked hard every day, with very meager incomes, and could not even support their families.

Dissatisfaction grew in the Jing State workshop.

Yuhai City in midsummer is always two extremes. When there is a sea breeze, it is extremely refreshing, but when there is no sea breeze, even in the morning when the sun just rises, it is hot and humid.

It was on this seemingly ordinary hot morning that one worker after another left their families and went to the government office of Yuhai Mansion instead of the workshop.

At 7:30 in the morning, more than 500 workers had gathered outside the Yuhaifu government office. These workers shouted uneven slogans.

“Workers sweat, officials make money!”

"More money and salary, so that we can work!"

"The boss is greedy and the workers are suffering!"

The crowd kept repeating simple and easy-to-understand slogans, which quickly attracted more people.

The story of workers blocking the Yamen quickly spread throughout Yuhai City, and many people came to join in the fun. Later, some people who usually idle around suddenly became messengers of justice and began to join the ranks of workers, shouting the same slogans.

Soon, more than 10,000 people gathered outside the government office.

At first, Yuhai City officials were still discussing countermeasures, but before the discussion was completed, tens of thousands of people gathered outside. This was completely beyond their expectations, and they had to report it to the court.

At the same time, some people began to publish articles on the forum. On the surface, they talked about the matter neutrally, but they used various methods to mislead others, making others think that it was the problem of Jingguo officials, that Fang Yun was exploiting workers for development, and even Common rumors are used to confuse the audience with rumors such as "I heard it's exhausting."

As a result, a large number of people appeared in Lunbang and Yuhai City at the same time to denounce Fang Yun, the Jingguo court and the Jingguo square owner.
