Since there is no unified standard of value, it is impossible to establish world trade, and even the most primitive means of bartering must at least establish an industry standard whose rules can be agreed upon by all parties to the transaction. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

As a result, in the field of commerce and trade in the New World, from the time of the original Plantagenet Dynasty, a batch of gold coins of complete uniformity in weight, purity and style was minted, and limited to a few large workshops responsible for production, and the state was responsible for random inspections and quality inspections. Although they have a longer history of coinage, the predecessors who were too freewheeling, had many political skills and lacked unified standards, after experiencing the squeeze of the latter advantage, they finally had to put down their shelves and learn from the experience of the younger generation.

Whether it is Yaling, elves and subsequent human dynasties, they all finally accepted this set of monetary standard scales of the Plantagenet Dynasty, a single coin weighs about 4.5 grams in the old world, and the gold coin with a gold content of about ninety and five is called a universal gold coin, which is also the benchmark currency for international trade that does not need to be converted at a cumbersome price, and is a hard currency like the lingua franca.

In view of the importance of defining the transaction criteria, if the merchants of the New World do not declare in advance when agreeing on the transaction, then the payment method of the transaction between the two parties will be settled in the unit of Plantagenet gold coins by default, and when paying with other types of gold and silver coins, they must be converted according to this standard, and act in accordance with the principle of more refund and less compensation.

At this time, after looking at the list of goods and samples presented by Luo Zhengdao, the fat businessman showed a professional bright smile, he stretched out two chubby fingers like carrots, and tried to gesture and said:

"One price, 20,000 gold coins."

Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to open his mouth, the boatswain Zola Hegel's face suddenly stretched longer than a donkey, this dead profiteer wanted to trick people, he forgot that this business is not only Luo Zhengdao's, but also a boatswain, Zola, who hurt his vital interests, snorted coldly and said:

"Hey, do you want to say that a fine piece of silk is only worth two silver coins? You're kidding me! Dead fat pig! ”

There is no doubt that according to the rules of the pirates, everyone has a share of all the spoils, and Zola Hegel's share is naturally indispensable.

The fat merchant, who had played too well in the small abacus of price reduction, was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zola Hegel's angry and indignant expression, he knew that he had accidentally played with it, and hurriedly changed his words temporarily:

"Ahh Don't get me wrong, the price is negotiable. ”

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao smiled heartily, presumably Zola Hegel, who was so strongly stimulated that his combat effectiveness broke the table, would definitely help this old friend learn what it means to be a brother and settle accounts!

When those magnificent and graceful battleships lined up in a column, facing the sunset and galloping in the background of the blue sea and blue sky, the grand scene like an oil painting makes people feel domineering just by imagining it in their minds, but it is a pity that no matter what kind of military operation needs logistical support, the establishment of a navy is to put it bluntly is burning money!

Money and food are the foundation of war, assuming that when fighting to the death on the battlefield, the inferior side can still rely on the wisdom of the front-line commander and the courage of the soldiers to make up for it, once the army is short of money and food, no matter how outstanding and capable the excellent commander is, he will not be able to win the war.

Luo Zhengdao was a veteran strategy chess gamer in the old world, and he was familiar with things like the Age of Discovery, Civilization Series and Age of Empires, how could he not understand such a simple truth? Although Luo Zhengdao was not prepared to build the pirate fleet like the bald eagle of the old world During the Afghan war, the soldiers of the United States had to take a sip of water and eat a hamburger to be flown in from the mainland, and the minimum level of security was still necessary. Food, salaries, supplies, weapons, ammunition, and even condoms and drugs for venereal diseases, which seem to have nothing to do with combat, are all important components of the army's combat effectiveness.

How many great military strategists did not lose to the enemy in real battles, and finally fell into bad luck because of poor logistics management? One of the most typical negative textbooks in this regard is Napoleon I, who is known as a military genius.

The dwarf giants born in Corsica lost the Battle of Waterloo, which can be attributed to some bad luck, but the Moscow fire that he encountered during the Crusade was an inexorable failure. After the inexplicable fire of Moscow, the French army, short of food and clothing, had to brave the freezing weather of minus 20 degrees Celsius to retreat in the wind and snow. Along the way, the number of French soldiers who went missing, starved or died in attack as a result of the hasty retreat was n times greater than during the previous attack, and this disastrous winter nearly wiped out the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces of the Emperor Napoleon.

The elite troops that the French Empire had accumulated over the years were wiped out, and almost all the veterans who had followed Napoleon in the northern and southern conquests died in this disastrous retreat, and in the subsequent Battle of Waterloo, the French army could not recover these lost elite troops. At that time, most of the French troops under Napoleon were newly formed, although they did not lack courage, and their technical and tactical skills and actual combat experience were much worse than their predecessors. In the final analysis, these examples are nothing more than a verification of the correctness of the adage that the army relies on logistics to win a war, and the root cause of the disaster is to blame for the poor management of the army's logistics.

"Sorry! Wait a minute, I'm interested in this business too! ”

Just when Luo Zhengdao was thinking about it, a pleasant voice came from the side, and the timbre that did not distinguish between male and female reminded him of Brother Chun and Brother Zeng, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Although the buyer who suddenly came out from the side gave Luo Zhengdao goosebumps, the other party's appearance was indeed a bit mysterious, hiding his body and appearance under a heavy cloak and hood like Luo Zhengdao, and the onlookers could only see the white and smooth chin and lips with all their eyes.

Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to speak, Vina Dubov quietly put it in his ear and whispered:

“…… He's an elf! ”

Halfway down the road, he was disturbed like an offended little rooster, and the fat merchant turned around in anger at this moment, grabbed the intruder by the placket with both hands, and cried out:

"Hey, boy, don't you know the rules? Do you know who I am? Sue sù you ......"

As he spoke, the fat merchant's voice suddenly stopped, and suddenly stopped his movements, and the fat merchant's eyes widened immediately, and he stared at the inconspicuous embroidery on the collar of his cloak, and then his teeth couldn't help but start chattering up and down, and his voice trembled and said:

“…… Badge of the Bloody Hand! Sorry, please feel free. ”

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth showed a smile mixed with contempt and confidence, and after sorting out his slightly wrinkled cloak, this mysterious visitor came to Luo Zhengdao, he stroked his chest with his hand and said:

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Earl of Folloe."

This unrecognizable guest who has not revealed his true identity is polite, and if he does not know his elf identity, this style is far more like a noble child than Luo Zhengdao, a traverser, but the visitor's warm smile has not received a positive response. Under the reminder of Vina Dubov, Luo Zhengdao looked at the other party vigilantly, and said in a rather unkind tone:

"Oh, I believe that success in business depends on abiding by the rules, and opportunism cannot achieve great things, and those who make good use of privileges will have a day of playing with fire, what do you think?"

"Hehehehe, thank you very much for your advice, but I really need this batch of goods urgently! Forgive me for my presumptuousness, but can we sit down calmly and talk about this business? ”

No one in this world has a grudge against money, this sentence works in the old world, and it is still safe to pass in the new world. No matter what Luo Zhengdao's personal perception is, his own likes and dislikes must also make way for practical interests, otherwise he is a mallet. Since this is the case, Luo Zhengdao immediately endured a little displeasure in his heart, and motioned to the other party to continue.

It is said that in the ancient times when the time was so far away that it was impossible to verify and the details were difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, the goblin ancestors had lived together with the goblin races such as Yaling and elves, which was called the primeval goblin civilization at that time. By the time of the First Goblin Empire, there were many unpleasant incidents between them and their distant relatives, and scholars of history generally believe that the decline of the First Goblin Empire was inseparable from the driving forces behind the Yaling and Elves.

Negatively affected by historical grievances, even today, these races are inevitably mixed with emotions when dealing with each other. Therefore, similar to the stone pine powder produced in the Sea of Storms and the magic cloth from the main 6, the transaction of these strategic materials can hardly be regarded as a purely commercial issue, and it is the norm for everyone to stumble under the table, and a ball of harmony is just a dream!

The magic cloth necessary for the sails of the battleship needs to be made of textile materials that can be processed in the next step, otherwise a large number of garbage products that are only suitable for use as rags will be created. Filaments that meet this highest standard, even in the main 6 silk producing areas, only account for about one-tenth of the total production of raw silk.

Since the Goblin Empire mastered the foreign trade of the Lord 6 and immediately began to strictly restrict the export of raw silk, it has become even more difficult for the outside world to see high-quality filament for the production of magic cloth. Even if the finished silk is exported to the outside world, the goblins do not forget to limit the length and width of the cloth, and would rather truncate the high-quality filament and sell it at a lower price than let the opponent buy the silk that meets the requirements, and disassemble it into raw silk and spin it into magic cloth for the second time. Yaling and the elves also have a headache about this problem, the so-called no war horses naturally can't talk about cavalry, it is conceivable that the battleship can not talk about the navy without magic cloth.

Even if Yaling and the elves negotiated with the export quota of stone pine powder as a bargaining chip, the goblins refused to make concessions, and this impasse was almost impossible to break, so later there was a special status of Xiangjiang Port, and all parties took what they needed under tacit conditions to avoid having to use war to solve the problem.
