"Hehehehehe, you're all very capable! If I can't get these craftsmen and metal to make sure the Blue Gold is completed in time, are you going to clean it up with me? ”

With a murderous and cold look on his face, Luo Zhengdao stood in front of the dry dock at the moment, looking at the new warship that was nearing completion, and mercilessly attacked the subordinates gathered nearby, it was time to beat these guys and let them understand who was talking here.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent!"

Luo Zhengdao, who was originally a triumphant subordinate, was said to be soaked in cold sweat, and they were about to justify their actions, but Luo Zhengdao grabbed the white again and said:

"Shut up! I'm not done! ”

The blade-like Sen Han's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, and Luo Zhengdao, who took a deep breath, had a gloomy face, and seemed to have indescribable sorrow between his eyebrows, and said coldly:

"Everyone thinks they're sorry, they think they're a big guy, if you get out of me, what kind of big guys are you? Even the pirates who can only raise pigs look down on you, a bunch of idiots who can only fight among themselves! ”

The magic card master of the new world used to be on an equal footing with the gods, and this overly sensitive identity could not be exposed lightly, which also gave Luo Zhengdao a lot of confidence, no fists and no courage is the root of cowardice, and the murderous intent with a sharp weapon is another manifestation of strength.

In many cases, power itself is justice, and this is a half-hearted saying, as there is a classic saying in the old world that history is written by the victors, and truth is only within the range of the cannon. No matter how despicable and shameless the means of victory, and how cruel and bloody the methods of defeating the enemy, as long as you can become the ultimate winner, you can enjoy a qiē glory without reproach, this is the written explanation of the victory and defeat. At this moment, as if suddenly incarnated as the Roaring Emperor Horse Sect Master, Luo Zhengdao showed his subordinates the anger and dissatisfaction hidden in his heart, so that they couldn't raise their heads.

Faced by this storm of words, everyone, including Zola Hegel, lowered their heads and reluctantly chose to spit on their faces, and let Luo Zhengdao scold there, because one thing he said was right, their actions trampled on the unwritten principles of organization.

Under the strict hierarchy, the subordinates have a duty of obedience, and have no power to make their own decisions, and no one can make decisions for the lord, and if they think it is necessary, they can incite public opinion and face up to admonition, but you must not tell the superior what you must do is right.

“…… Whoever doesn't want to stay with me and ask him to go out through the back gate, we don't have anything to do with each other anymore, I won't persuade him to stay, and those who voluntarily stay at Wake Reef had better be prepared to obey discipline. ”

Throwing down a bunch of cruel words that drew red lines and established rules, Luo Zhengdao was silent for a minute, then simply turned around and left the scene, and the half-elf beauty followed him quickly, leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Will, so they don't make any more trouble?"

"Stop making trouble? That's weird! None of these guys are fuel-efficient lamps, when they are busy, they mess with outsiders, and when they are free, they will come to make trouble with me, don't look at being scolded silently today, and they will be honest for a few days. ”

Vina Dubov looked at Luo Zhengdao sympathetically and said:

"Will, didn't you say you were going to have a ceremony on the way back?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, then laughed with him, nodded and said:

"Well, I forgot about it if you didn't mention it, this ritual is very important."

The predecessor of the time-traveling emperor had a persistent grudge against the spread of Chinese culture, of course, this is also divided into places, such as the etiquette system is more, and the living habits are relatively less.

In accordance with the Hadith of the great Emperor Taizu, the laws of the Bright Dynasty stipulated that the emperor should be fourteen years old and wear a sword, the nobles would not be eligible until they were twenty years old, and the ordinary people would meet the standard when they were over thirty years old, and they were not allowed to wear crowns and swords in ordinary times. Although Luo Zhengdao is in his early twenties this year, he has either been busy tossing military affairs in the past few years, or he has fled in a hurry under the butcher's knife of the goblin, and the formalities of this crown ceremony have never had time to be fulfilled. Since the intention is to marry a wife in the near future, holding a crown ceremony in advance is an indispensable link, and the crown ceremony indicates adulthood, and procedural justice is a concentrated embodiment of the formalism pursued by a qiē organization, which is not something to laugh at casually in the new world.

It was Luo Zhengdao's consistent advocacy that he was no longer interested in tying up those fasting and bathing with the sacrifice to heaven and earth, and the simplified version of the crown ceremony was still more cumbersome, and it was better than the coronation ceremony of the regent.

After nearly a month of commotion, Luo Zhengdao finally became free again, and then he began to expand the resource channels for foreign trade exports and imports.

Xiangjiang, who has the privilege of specializing in entrepot trade, is a big fat pig, yes, the problem is that when the butcher has to be a little patient, wait until the pig grows fat, and you can't expect to kill a pig and sell it as soon as you lack money! This is not only unrealistic, but it is also easy to provoke the business group, and when the time comes, they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and things will not be easy to do, and it is imperative to find another source of money.

At present, among the special products manufactured by Wake Reef, cement is not suitable for long-distance sea transportation, and it is estimated that the buyer sees not bags of cement but pieces of artificial stones that absorb moisture and solidify. If the barrel is fully sealed or placed in a space container, the cost of transporting the cement will be too high, and it is likely that it will not be sold after the price increase, unless the buyer is willing to bear the additional packaging costs, otherwise this item can only be crossed out of the catalogue for the time being.

In order to support the shipbuilding and military industries, there is still a large gap in all the metal deposits mined at Wake Reef for their own use, and the main varieties of export commodities are filament, raw silk and silk, which can only cover the daily salary expenses and part of the training expenses of the privateer fleet.

Paper as a kind of novelty products have opened the market in the Yaling Empire, but from the promotion to the full replacement of the old writing materials, there is still a long way to go, at the moment it is only some greedy businessmen to adopt, potential big customer publishers The market is still in a state of hesitation and wait-and-see, not a few hundred years do not think that those old-fashioned thinking breeds will change their ways, expensive parchment they use is not a day or two, and it is not a big deal for a few more years. Generally speaking, it is not difficult for Luo Zhengdao to maintain the status quo, and there will be a huge book deficit at the beginning of the expansion of military strength, and the sabotage incident of the Blue Gold is just the tip of the iceberg that has surfaced under the guidance of the ideology of the first military and political government.

To put it bluntly, as the privateer's fleet grows in size day by day, the ballooning military spending is like a bottomless pit, silently swallowing up all the gains made in the economic development of Wake Reef in recent years, and this is an arms race with no end in sight.

According to the general economic law, the most normal way to deal with such a bad situation is to reconcile with the opponent and stop this game of infinite escalation. However, the Second Goblin Empire will probably not agree to a settlement, and will be happy to cut off Luo Zhengdao's head to show off his martial prowess and intimidate the human slaves who are living in dire straits. In view of this, giving up the development of armaments is the right way to sit back and wait for death, and since it is impossible to reduce armaments spending, then Luo Zhengdao can only make more efforts to increase financial resources, and it is precisely from this aspect that he is now starting from.

It's not difficult for travelers to make money, the slightly lower-end ones can sell stories and ideas, the high-end ones sell technology and equipment, and in short, the knowledge of the old world provides a variety of choices for travelers. Unless it's particularly bad luck and travels to those ghost places where nothing can be sold, it will be difficult for the traveler to lack money to spend.

The complex situation faced by Luo Zhengdao is slightly different from the predecessors mentioned above, although his ability to make money is not bad, and the efficiency of capital turnover is reasonable, the key is that his ability to spend money like water is too extravagant and a loser. Speaking of which, others crossing into the other world is nothing more than raising a harem of 3,000 beauties, at best, it will be the end of raising 30,000 beauties in the kingdom of God, Luo Zhengdao has taken on the livelihood of more than 100,000 people on Wake Reef, plus the livelihood of armed pirates. If you count the four-digit scribes, clerks and administrative officials, inspectors, researchers, and other professionals who eat the imperial food and national taxes, the financial pressure that Luo Zhengdao needs to bear is simply a hellish level of great difficulty!

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, we must have our own merchant fleet, and no matter how much money we make, we must ensure that we have sufficient cash flow and smooth trading channels, which is the most important condition. ”

stated his blueprint for the future in public, Luo Zhengdao's views will obviously not be accepted unconditionally by his subordinates, just look at the awkward expressions on their faces and read the inner subtext, if you don't make money, you can build a wool merchant fleet?

In the old world, the greatest significance of the hegemonic power is to control global trade, and then control the flow of wealth in the whole world, after all, sea transportation is the cheapest mode of transportation, the cost of land transportation and air transportation determines that bulk commodities do not have the conditions for global trade, and the strange thing that the freight is higher than the cost price is definitely unwelcome.

The unsecured green paper issued by the bald eagle relies on the blood sucking of global trade to survive, and this kind of unredeemable green bill, as a settlement currency for international trade, is jokingly called the "naval standard" by industry insiders, and the reason why the eagle family spares no effort to advocate free trade and promote economic globalization. The logic is very simple, the bigger other people's business is, the more prosperous the global trade is, and the bald eagle who sits on the ground and shares the seigniorage benefits will naturally follow the rising tide to get his share of the big cake. To put it more bluntly, anyone is encouraged to participate in world trade, the only premise is that you have to settle the settlement with the bald eagle's little green paper, as long as you accept this condition, the seigniorage drawn from it can make the eagle family live a good life.

Each piece of green paper costs about eight cents to make, but its nominal face value is hundreds or thousands of times the actual printing cost of banknotes, and the transactions that take place all the time around the world bring endless wealth to the treasury of the Eagle family. Because of this, even after the subprime mortgage crisis and financial tsunami, the Federal Reserve frantically printed small green paper and exported the crisis to the world, no country dared to openly challenge the hegemony of the bald eagle, and the black-bellied rabbit only dared to use currency swaps as a cover to do some stealing things, which actually did not affect the overall situation.
