Chapter 244: It's not a good deal, though
Although Luo Zhengdao has always adhered to the propaganda slogan of the human race's counterattack on the main continent, no matter how you look at it, this matter will make people feel that there is little hope, but the harvest of Xiangjiang by the Second Goblin Empire is a sure thing, and the bigwigs of the merchant group cannot but consider their own retreat.
Wake Reef is indeed not a good place for self-cultivation, but it is better to have such a place to settle down on the day when there is no way out, even if it is to run to the poor countryside to spend the rest of your life! You know, it's dangerous to survive in a place where there's no order, and just having a lot of money is enough to kill you.
"Your Highness, this Miss Marianne is the daughter of Baron Ning Ye, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by a certain councilor, and she has just reached the marriageable age, I heard that Your Royal Highness the Regent has not married a wife, I hope to ......"
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao only felt tired for a while, and his subordinates didn't know how many times he had discussed the fact that he didn't have a legal wife in his early twenties. If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to find a woman with the right status on Wake Reef, many guys who held the orthodox view of human beings opposed women with Yaling or elven blood to sit in the position of wives, and it is estimated that he would have been annoyed to death.
In the new world, Yaling and elves belong to the mesozoic species, although they are not as natural as the dragons who can easily live for more than a thousand years, at least several times more than humans. Assuming that he marries a pure-blooded Yaling or Elf, it is certain that he will die before his wife, and even the direct heirs of the following generations will not survive this first-of-life wife of alien blood. At that time, the power of foreign relatives will inevitably infiltrate and form an anti-guest tendency, and according to conspiracy theories, such an act of leading a wolf into the house can only be described as digging a self-grave.
failed to take this layer into account in advance, Luo Zhengdao listened carefully to the opinions of his subordinates, and had to admit that this was not unfounded, and it was indeed his own rhythm to find death by leaving such a big hidden danger behind him.
Originally, Luo Zhengdao was still a little cautious about Saril Byrne, Yaling's eyes without pupils didn't look very accustomed to it at first, and it wouldn't be so weird after watching it for a long time, didn't the otaku in the old world also have a lot of favors Hinata Hinata girls in the Hokage? After all, the world is based on faces, as long as you are beautiful, a man's lustful instinct to judge people by their appearance will immediately prevail, so ......
There is such a layer of concerns, Luo Zhengdao has to be careful in doing things, even if the Yaling Empire intends to stuff the female overseer into his harem, it can't be a wife, this matter is not negotiable, get on the bus first and then make up the ticket or something, it's easy for people to grab the handle, you must not do this.
Not to mention the half-elf beauties that were placed on the plate early in the morning, Luo Zhengdao is now under pressure from reality, so he can only keep a safe distance from these two familiar women in order to calm down the opposition, no matter what he says, others are also out of good intentions, and Luo Zhengdao, who is an over-age youth, will not be killed for this reason.
At this time, Luo Zhengdao didn't mention what he wanted, just the other party's behavior of sending beautiful women implied a tendency to show favor, and the merchant group jointly took in the human exiled nobles, even if it was a woman, it would not make the goblins happy, which could be regarded as a vote.
"Alright, then stay!"
The gift that came with her, the immature girl whose appearance was hidden under the velvet hood could only see the chin area, but she could basically see the excellent characteristics of the genetics, but it was a pity that Luo Zhengdao was really not in the mood to appreciate it, so he waved his hand directly and asked someone to take her down to rest.
After a few pleasantries, Luo Zhengdao then turned the topic on track, his body leaned back on the back of the chair, and he crossed his fingers and said:
"I heard that Xiangjiang also has its own salt farm?"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Regent."
The round-faced negotiator wiped his sweat while carefully paying attention to his words, he didn't dare to speak lightly, and he couldn't say nothing, this sense of proportion was really tiring!
"I want to sell salt on consignment in Xiangjiang, do you think it's feasible?"
The climate of Xiangjiang is divided into a rainy season and a dry season, the rainy time of the year is relatively longer, the local salt pans produce enough for hundreds of thousands of people to consume, and the export of salt is not much advantageous in price, mainly to meet local consumption.
The Second Goblin Empire began to implement the policy of relocation and sea banning, because human slaves could no longer be used to engage in salt production at the seaside, fearing that they would collude with pirates or be robbed by incoming pirates, so the goblins abandoned most of the coastal salt works, and the salt production of the main continent plummeted sharply, and the price of salt increased. It became more and more difficult for foreign tribes in the inland areas to obtain salt, and Xiangjiang salt gradually expanded the market space, but due to the unclear attitude of the big boss and goblin behind the scenes, this kind of salt selling business has been embarrassingly limited to the level of petty fighting.
The round-faced representative with a flexible brain heard what Luo Zhengdao's intentions were, which was clearly to sell his salt through the Xiangjiang River, so blatantly colluding with pirates, he was known to the goblins, and he immediately said profusely sweating:
"Uh, this...... I'm not familiar with the salt industry, why don't I go back and ask for advice for you? ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's expression was unusually calm, and he said:
"Well, such a small request won't get in the way, right?"
Looking at Luo Zhengdao, who was silent, the round face represented that he felt a huge mental pressure, if the other party was angry, it was actually not terrible, and the only reasonable explanation for His Royal Highness the regent not to be angry was that he didn't need to be angry with others.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and ask for instructions."
This uncle's visit to Xiangjiang is like walking through the city gate, when he wants to come, he can leave when he wants, in case he answers inappropriately and annoys him, does the Xiangjiang Business Group still want to continue to mix? Not to mention anything else, the privateer fleet came from here to time to block the door, blockade and cut off port shipping, and they couldn't stand it!
Feeling that the matter was extremely tricky, the delegation hurriedly sent people back to report this latest request to the bigwigs, and the old men who were also involved in the lawsuit held a closed-door meeting to negotiate a half-hourglass time, during which dozens of vulnerable items such as teacups were lost, and finally came to the conclusion that as long as the merchant group was not called to join forces to follow a counterattack on the main continent, the rest of the things were easy to discuss.
Seeing Luo Zhengdao again, the round-faced businessman who already had the hole cards in his hand was in a much calmer mood, and he bowed over with a bright smile and said:
"We are happy to serve His Royal Highness the Regent, these requests are not a problem."
Hearing this, he was a little surprised, how could these quasi-traitors be so easy to talk about, Luo Zhengdao groaned slightly, and said:
"Then I have some special products, ready to ......"
Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to finish speaking, the round-faced representative patted his chest knowingly and said:
"Xiangjiang welcomes His Royal Highness to do business, and I guarantee that there will be no problems, please rest assured."
Due to the regional differences in origin, there were many contradictions between his subordinates, which reminded Luo Zhengdao of the necessity of strengthening organizational construction. All along, he has been busy running around to develop forces, including searching for magic cards or something, and he really doesn't pay much attention to straightening out internal relationships and improving organizational construction, and now that he sees the drawbacks, it's not good to continue to stare like this. If you find a problem, you have to start solving it, is it possible to say that the people of the future will be wiser, and these thorny problems will be left to the people of the future to solve? At that time, these problems will become problems left over from history, and the danger will be even greater!
Luo Zhengdao is not a leader material, his desire for power and self-motivation are not strong, which is a congenital deficiency of strict zhòng for a leader.
Except for being tempted by several senior sisters in the student union during college and being dragged to work as a free laborer for a few days to carry tables and other physical labor, Luo Zhengdao basically did not mix in the organization, and he still has an idea of what a successful organization should look like.
Thanks to the blessing of the Internet age, too many traditional media are unwilling to sue the public for the wanton spread of prohibited information, from the recipe of Molotov's cocktail to the how to DIY the atomic bomb. To put it mildly, as long as one has a strong desire to learn, the knowledge available from the Internet is endless, including how to organize and train an rebel. First of all, the core of the organization should be a certain spirit and philosophy, okay! The word concept has been ruined by MLM organizations, just as comrades have been ruined by-goots, and secondly, the goals pursued by the organization should be at a higher level. Well, yes, the word hierarchy has also been ruined by wheel work. Skipping aside these discordant contents that destroy people and destroy the three views, in a nutshell, the so-called organization is a group of people who gather together with the same ideals or common interests.
Organized and undisciplined, this is the standard synonym used in the old world to describe those stragglers, Luo Zhengdao really did not do a good job of discipline construction and organizational structure, from his heart, he did not put these two things in the top priority.
The Aragami cursed that this bright guillotine was hanging around Luo Zhengdao's neck at all times, and it would fall when it would fall, and it would definitely be a tragic end for someone to be wiped out. His life and death are still hanging by a thread, living a precarious life, and then talking about erecting lofty ideals and ambitions, this kind of boring rhetoric of why not eat minced meat, inevitably makes people feel that the steps are too big and the eggs are pulled.
It is true that calling on people to recover the main continent and publicizing the restoration of the Bright Dynasty is a good goal, but it is a pity that it is not enough to reach the upper level, and it is of little significance to those who are not of pure human blood and whose family background is not high enough, even if the plan is successful, what benefits can they get?
Thinking of this, Luo Zhengdao crossed out the word on the paper with a quill pen, and then he pondered for a while, picked up the pen and wrote down the hegemony, and then carefully pondered and crossed it out, and finally Luo Zhengdao wrote democracy and freedom on the paper.
The state system of joint management of the affairs of the state within a certain social class in accordance with the principles of equality and the subordination of the minority to the majority is called democracy. The right to choose, guaranteed by a written constitution, to protect the people from slavery, imprisonment or prosecution, is called freedom. To put it simply, the subordination of the minority to the majority is democracy, and the tolerance of the majority and the minority is freedom.
During the Cold War in the old world, Bald Eagle only dared to call itself a free country but never mentioned the word democracy, that is because Bald Eagle Country does not adopt a democratic system but implements a representative system, and the highest legislative body that holds state power is Congress, and the White House is actually just an administrative organ, but Mao Xiong is happy to show off that he is a democratic country, and the so-called people are the masters of the country! Whoever dares to go to the beacon country of democracy during the Cold War to shout about democracy, any CIA and FBI will have a good talk with him and send him to a black jail to correct his three views.
