Wang Jinxiu frowned slightly and did not immediately reply to Ye Chunqiu's words. She silently pondered whether she should agree or not.
This is indeed not an easy question to answer.
Although the royal family's genetic technology was at the forefront, and if the immortal medicine was successfully developed, the royal family's genetic technology would be comparable to Atlas's. However, the royal family's development time was still too short. It only had a few decades of history. In terms of the inventory of some precious materials, they were incomparable to the Divine Continent Empire.
Although the empire was not established for a long time, it had a long history. Some of the most precious materials contained a large number of medicinal plants from the Republic of China or even earlier, many of which were needed by the royal family.
The empire could take out five ingredients for the Eternal Life Potion. Using five ingredients in exchange for three ingredients looked like the royal family was making a lot of money, but the risk was not low.
The immortal potion would probably be the core secret of the royal family for many years to come, so it couldn't be exposed at all. If Wang Jinxiu agreed to Ye Chunqiu's conditions, it would mean that he would provide the Divine Continent Empire with the formula of the immortal potion.
This was where Wang Jinxiu hesitated.
'"Elder Ye, if that's the case, perhaps I will draw up a lot of lists. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the immortal medicine formula, there may be many materials on my list that I don't need at all. Furthermore, these materials may even be more than the ingredients of the formula itself."
Wang Jinxiu thought for a moment and replied cautiously.
When it came to this transaction, the identities of the two parties were no longer pure. There was grudge between Ye Chunqiu and the royal family, and the relationship between him and the emperor was also complicated and subtle. However, the fact that he was a top elder of the royal family could not be denied.
But when it came to trading immortal medicines, these personal relationships could only be temporarily put aside.
Ye Chunqiu proposed this deal. He represented the country.
Wang Jinxiu's answer was also to put herself in the position of the person in charge of the Imperial Biological Laboratory, not Ye Chunqiu's.
"How much more?"
Ye Chunqiu's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice.
Wang Jinxiu's words proved that this transaction was feasible. The key was how terrifying the list Wang Jinxiu had drawn up for the empire would be.
For this, Ye Chunqiu was mentally prepared, He understood the importance of immortal medicines to the royal family, so the list Wang Jinxiu had drawn up was definitely not the most primitive formula for immortal medicines. In order to confuse the judgement of the imperial researchers, this list would definitely contain more materials that were not needed at all, as well as fewer materials that might be used.
Immortal medicine is made from dozens of drugs, In the development process, If a series of data were written on paper, it would be enough to fill a large warehouse. Once Wang Jinxiu drew up this list, the amount of data would increase by countless times. Even if this list was sent back to the Empire, the Empire's researchers would probably not be able to work out the true formula of the immortal medicine for hundreds of years.
Therefore, Wang Jinxiu added some ingredients to the list. Ye Chunqiu was acceptable, but the ingredients must not be too much.
The interests of the country and the royal family were areas that the royal high officials had to carefully coordinate in recent years. It was also one of the important meanings of the existence of the War God Palace and the Prince's Palace beside them. On some sensitive matters, it was necessary to reach a balance that was satisfactory to both sides. Otherwise, it would be very easy for them to pass the blame on others.
Now that the imperial family was about to return, the sensitivity of the two sides would be greatly reduced if they traded again. After all, no matter how much they traded, they would only be traded between their own people. However, there were some things that they should pay attention to no matter how much they were their own people.
At present, the plan for the return of the royal family and the empire is in the process of being discussed with each other, Everything was still confidential, but these secrets were naturally not a secret to an Empire elder like Ye Chunqiu. In fact, many confidential documents would be sent to the Ye Clan in Dragon Lake Park at the first possible moment, just to see if Ye Chunqiu and Ye Zhonghua wanted to see them.
In the current reunification plan, the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire would cancel the "one country, two systems" plan. Of course, such cancellation was nominal, and the empire would give the royal family greater freedom and authority. As for the 80,000 square kilometers of land, it would return to the empire as a province, tentatively named the Northern Sea.
Beihai Province was nominally no different from the other provinces. As a province of the empire, it accepted the leadership of the empire's center and cabinet. A series of appointments and dismissals of officials were also discussed by the Standing Committee Meeting of the Policy Bureau, the plenary meeting, the Central Bureau of Academicians , the Ministry of Officials of the Empire, and other departments.
However, these procedures were nominal.
In fact, the imperial family's military organization, administrative system, and diplomatic system were all controlled by the imperial family.
The current royal army would be completely retained and would still be stationed at the royal family headquarters. Moreover, the scale would be expanded to 200,000. The Beihai Military Region would be established, and the commander of the military region would enter the central committee of the empire. However, the choice was decided by the emperor and the future royal clan head.
The secretary of Beihai Provincial Party Committee would be a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau. This big hat also needed to fully respect the opinions of the royal family.
Such a regression model, There was no harm to the imperial family at all. It was also beneficial to the empire. Although many high-ranking officials thought that such a return was inappropriate, in reality, it was just something that some people could not understand. What they saw was not the benefits to the empire, but the transcendent status of the imperial family in the future. Therefore, their hearts were somewhat unbalanced.
However, in reality, as long as the empire coordinated with the royal family in the future, the empire could justifiably use the military power of the royal family at a critical juncture. Experts teams could also use the diplomatic channels of the royal family to open the blockade when they encountered a diplomatic blockade and fight for a greater voice.
Such benefits are unimaginable in the long run.
What the empire had paid for was only some financial support, a few official positions, and support for the royal family at a critical moment.
Both sides didn't pay much, but they received quite a lot. This was truly a win-win situation.
However, there were still quite a few voices within the empire opposing the return of the imperial clan. At this time, one had to pay attention to dealing with the imperial clan.
Especially what Ye Chunqiu wanted to trade was the finished product, the immortal potion that he didn't have after using it.
In this way, if the empire paid too much for the special materials, he would inevitably be criticized.
"Double."
Wang Jinxiu said calmly, "Double is just a rough number, And twice as much, Not all of us are cheap, Of the immortal medicines delivered to the empire, I'm sure I'll add some more drugs, These drugs do not affect the efficacy of immortal medicines, I'm just going to make a new program out of these drugs, Or, in other words, an endless cycle, Only then, I'm not worried that the secrets of the immortality potion will be developed by the empire, And these, I need to return to Imperial Armament Mountain, "It will take time for us to reinvent a new formula. Therefore, Elder Ye, if you agree to this transaction, it will take at least a year for the Empire to obtain three bottles of immortal potions from us. The effects of the potions will not be affected, but the composition of the potions will be even more complicated. It will be so complicated that it is impossible to crack them."
Wang Jinxiu looked at Ye Chunqiu's furrowed eyebrows and suddenly smiled, "Of course, this doubling will benefit our royal family. I can't deny this. However, Elder Ye's Immortal Medicine doesn't need to wait for a year to return to Imperial Armament Mountain. After my last experiment, you can take it directly."
