Generals Niu and Wei nearly came to blows over daily squabbles, but quickly settled down when Lin Yi decreed a new distribution policy. Lin Yi enjoys the straightforward camaraderie of the generals, a stark contrast to the perceived intrigue of civil servants. Later, Lin Yi caught General Niu trying to sneak away with mosquito repellent, causing amusement among the others. As the repellent was distributed, the camps filled with thick smoke, amusing Lin Yi. Leng Yu suggested using the repellent for commoners, and Lin Yi revealed plans for a Royal Trading Company to sell it nationwide, explaining that selling it would ensure fairer distribution than giving it away.

"In this way, we can gain the initiative and also firmly hold the pricing power in our hands.

The benefit of doing this is that by then, the people will be using cheap products. We can calculate the costs, for example, the cost of our batch of mosquito coils is about one or two coins, so we sell them to the people for two coins.

Thus, even if they try to find materials and make it themselves, it will still cost them this much money. As a result, it’s better to purchase our products directly, and they’ll receive good value while spending the least amount, ensuring everyone can use them. This is the purpose of establishing the trading firm.

If we simply spread the technology of making mosquito coils, some officials may be tempted by the enormous profits within,

and they might monopolize it into their own industry and sell the mosquito coils at a high price,

for example, the cost is two coins, but they sell it for ten, twenty coins. By then, as long as the people see the effective results, they will certainly buy it.

This way, not only will the people fail to benefit, but it will also allow those corrupt officials to have profits to gain, which is our fault."

After Lin Yi’s explanation, Leng Yu was suddenly enlightened, realizing that Brother Lin Yi was not trying to seize the people’s wealth, nor seeking to make a huge profit from mosquito coils.

Instead, he wants the people to truly use the mosquito coils, for everyone to have access without spending too much money.

After all, if the people make it themselves, aside from whether the technology can meet the standards, it also requires costs.

Seeing this, some might ask, isn’t making these mosquito coils by the people merely needing mugwort and other raw materials? So, what’s the cost?

But don’t forget, as long as there’s commercial activity, there will inevitably be profits.

Just like the mugwort, when everyone goes to pick it, someone will naturally exploit this loophole.

Someone will naturally control it,

just like the government, which may very well start controlling the mugwort when everyone needs it, and then sell it at a high price.

It’s equivalent to selling the mosquito coils indirectly.

About this point, Lin Yi’s idea is to form his own business association to trade in mugwort.

The mosquito coil business is strictly his, and no one else is allowed to interfere in order to ensure the smooth implementation of this project, otherwise, good intentions might lead to bad outcomes.

Knowing Lin Yi’s plan, Leng Yu immediately nodded, indicating she would quickly handle this matter,

after all, Leng Yu has become Lin Yi’s capable aide nowadays,

It’s no exaggeration to say every decree of Lin Yi is personally handled by Leng Yu.

Sometimes, the six Ministers don’t spend as much time with Lin Yi as Leng Yu does, as Leng Yu directly delivers orders to them.

There’s a subtle sense that Leng Yu has replaced the position held by those two previous Prime Ministers.

It’s fair to say that Leng Yu has truly become like the Prime Minister of Dayou Kingdom now, but neither Leng Yu nor Lin Yi is aware of this.

Even if Lin Yi realized it, he wouldn’t consider it much, after all, Lin Yi’s goal is the whole world.

After conquering the entire world, he wouldn’t mind grooming Leng Yu into a major governor of Dayou Kingdom.

That’s right, a major governor!

By then, when these territories of several countries merge together, the subsequent Dayou Kingdom is just a small piece of land, it’s very fitting to let Leng Yu manage it.

Moreover, he is quite unusual, possessing extraordinary means, and he could reach any corner of the world at the fastest speed as long as he desires.

After all, in his System Space, there’s an extraordinary treasure, a spaceship.

If not for that main spaceship staying at the lunar base, now, if Lin Yi wore it, he might have already begun showing his skills, certainly not limited to the current territory of Dayou Kingdom.

Yet, just as Lin Yi was watching the camp before him with signals of distress rising everywhere and Leng Yu listening to his explanation beside him, suddenly, in Lin Yi’s mind, there was a "ding," a mechanical sound.

This directly stunned Lin Yi, who was speaking, causing him to stand dazedly on the spot, and his words halting halfway.

This left Leng Yu beside him slightly confused, looking at Lin Yi with some questions in her eyes–why this expression?

Had Brother Lin Yi thought of something?

Or had he seen something?

Looking where Brother Lin Yi’s gaze was aimed, nothing unusual seemed to be there?

But what happened?

Why is this happening?

Just as she was about to ask, suddenly, she noticed Lin Yi’s face showed a burst of ecstatic expression, and subsequently, he dashed up the mountain top like mad.

Indeed, he stomped his foot, and the jet boosters of the Iron Man Armor appeared under his feet.

And then carried his entire body flying towards the peak.

That place is quiet; at this moment, Lin Yi cared about nothing else, only thinking about the long-awaited system prompt in his mind.

He yelled to Leng Yu below to wait for him to deal with some matters and then disappeared from her sight.

Now, as for Lin Yi this moment. After quickly reaching the peak, he immediately found a secluded rock and sat down, his face filled with irrepressible excitement, calling out continuously to the mechanical voice in his mind.

Just because, just now, a long-lost system sound emerged in his mind, that voice Lin Yi has long yearned for, a voice he thinks of every moment.

"Ding, System Energy replenishing, System Energy replenishing 30%. The system is restarting, please wait..."

This is the sound the system just emitted, which is why Lin Yi was stunned on the spot.

He never thought the system would suddenly awaken at this time, and this surprise absolutely isn’t ordinary for him!

Having longed for so long, having done so much, finally, this guy has awakened.

"To be continued..."
