Chapter 460: Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Sauce, Vinegar, Tea
Running a small country with a population of millions is not the same thing as maintaining the social order and economic system required to maintain the good functioning of a large country with a population of tens of millions or even more. Even if a person can play the family car well, it does not prove that he is capable of driving a bus full of passengers, although some things look similar, but they cannot stand the same kind and incomparable!
How many people in the old world have watched Li Jiapo blossom like a brocade and their eyes are so hot, but they don't know that it is in the land of projectiles, and if they use the same strategy in a place where they are magnified to a hundred times the scale, they have to make a big mess, and there is no advantage to learn from.
No matter how bad the situation is today, as long as the sun will rise tomorrow morning, then life will have to go on. Luo Zhengdao had forgotten where he saw this sentence in the first place, and he figured out one thing, survival is like a shipwreck survivor floating in the sea, and if you don't want to be drowned, you have to struggle.
The current situation is not optimistic, Luo Zhengdao has no time to be plotted for himself and ignores other things, the tens of millions of refugees collected by the Kingdom of Light have devoured the family funds he has accumulated over the years, and now the treasury is empty enough to starve to death rats, and he can maintain the normal operation of the state machinery with his left hand in and right hand out in this embarrassing state, that is already his financial management, and almost all areas involving people's livelihood issues are lighting up red lights. Rao is situation is so unbearable, Luo Zhengdao has not been discouraged, the crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity, as long as you can survive this hurdle, the next will usher in a period of great development.
A large population is both a burden and a source of wealth, the former for the stupid and incompetent rulers, the latter for the wise and capable rulers, in short, the total size is a hard indicator.
As long as it doesn't collapse at that time, there will always be a day to turn over, and it will be difficult for a small country to withstand the blow and be completely finished, and the result can only be in the museum for people to remember the cultural relics.
Now, in response to the practical need to protect migrant ship groups and overseas colonies, the Goblin Navy is trying to shift to a rapidly expanding trajectory, and their total naval strength has jumped from less than 100,000 to a million. The price paid for such abnormal development is that the quality of seafarers is because of the influx of new recruits, which has excessively diluted the already not high professional quality, which has caused astonishing sequelae, and even the cold joke that the captain of the navy can't read the nautical charts has come out, and it is estimated that at the end of the ten-year truce between goblins and humans, these gangs are not even half-baked and the navy can learn the basic skills of the navigation industry.
Watching the goblin jokes on the side, Luo Zhengdao was really not happy, how could he not be stumped by the immigration plan, and the goblins would not be able to block Luo Zhengdao in the near future, there are so many things worth his anxiety about!
The curse of the desolate god is a terminal disease, and this is the appendage that Luo Zhengdao doesn't want to eat and can't sleep, and he also grabs a lot of other troubles, and if he talks too much about this kind of thing, it's all tears! No matter who the mysterious guy who pulled Luo Zhengdao into a strange dream was, he couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling when he thought about it carefully. Needless to say, Luo Zhengdao also tried to trace the origin of the other party, but the dream is already illusory and ethereal, and he wants to find the clues left by the real intruder in countless nothingness, and the difficulty of completing this job is much higher than playing psychological games such as closing your eyes when it's dark. Look for a needle in a haystack.
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was interrupted from his train of thought, turned his head and glanced at the boatswain, his mood became more and more indifferent, and he tried to make his expression look happier at this time, and said:
"Oh, sit down! Zola! Is there anything you want to tell me? ”。
Zola Hegel didn't notice whether Luo Zhengdao was really happy or not, and he said to himself:
"Your Majesty, half of the search team we sent has returned, and only a few treasure maps that are not very credible have been returned."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao didn't show much loss, and the direct consequence of his rapid mental transformation was that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to experience emotional changes, and he said bluntly at the moment:
"Oh, that's nothing, I know it's not easy to find the real thing. Come, have a drink! ”
The fact that pirates like to drink and gamble is basically an occupational disease, and the boatswain pretended to excuse himself, and then unceremoniously poured himself a drink, and as he drank it, he complained:
"Tsk, why do you like to drink this light-tasting rice wine? I prefer rum, or distilled spirits with ice. ”
Luo Zhengdao, who was not thinking about the taste of the wine at all, and didn't know what he was thinking in his head, said without a match:
"Hehehehe, everyone's tastes are different, we have to understand each other."
After drinking bitterly, and coming up with the strength of the wine, the boatswain boldly asked Luo Zhengdao and said:
"Your Majesty, the last piece of the Overlord Certificate has been found, what wish are you going to make? Become a Pirate King? ”。
The Aragami Curse is one of Luo Zhengdao's biggest secrets, and the identity of the magic card master is an open secret, and he has a negative attitude towards such rumors that he neither admits nor denies, and lets outsiders guess at will.
The origin of the traverser is still in a highly secret stage, this potential threat is deadly, he is not ready to expose it until Luo Zhengdao is sure, no matter when and where the situation is, God knows what will happen if the news leaks.
The predictable lucrative gains in the coming period are the cornerstone of a regime's stability, and in the Old World there is a saying that if you deal with a dictator and try to get his personal medical records, it will be far more effective than organizing an army to stage an armed coup. This assumption is logically valid, and that the military and officials are happy to be loyal to a target person on the premise that he will bring benefits to them, such as stable military pay and greed. In a relaxed environment where corruption turns a blind eye, once the dictator's supporters find that their boss's health is in danger and that he is likely to fail to deliver on the benefits he once promised, the jackals will not hesitate to abandon their old masters and embrace the underground master who can promise them benefits.
Now that he knew that the news that he was threatened by the curse of the Aragami spread, it would be a terrible blow to the new country whose foundation was not yet solid, Luo Zhengdao's words came to his lips and swallowed back, he smiled and raised his wine glass, and said:
"I don't know! It's too late to think about it when you find it, the birds are flying in the sky, and now you think about whether to barbecue or boil, you think early. Let's toast! ”
As he spoke, Luo Zhengdao drank all the wine in the silver goblet, and Zola Hegel on the other side drank the wine, wiped his mouth, and said with a wistful expression:
"Become a great pirate king! It's a little exciting to think that I'll be able to appear in some future legend or epic. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and said:
"It's useless to say anything until it's finally successful, isn't it?"
"I believe Your Majesty will succeed."
Regardless of whether there is a suspicion of sycophancy, Luo Zhengdao gave a positive response and said with a smile:
"Hahahaha, maybe!"
In the new world of seafaring, there is no pirate who does not want to be the king of pirates, just as there is no soldier in the old world who does not want to be a marshal. Zola Hegel has always been ambitious, and Luo Zhengdao does not think that he will have the confidence to take the evidence of the overlord from his hands, and it is more appropriate to say that he is very envious, and it is a little too much to use the word covetous.
For no other reason, the boatswain watched as one of the hapless goblins who was hunted down by the goblins grew up from adversity and eventually became a formidable opponent that the goblins had to face. Speaking of which, whether it is Luo Zhengdao's clear and sharp thinking, or strong personal strength, if Zola Hegel is not carried away by **, it should not be difficult to make a relatively correct judgment in the face of strong temptation. However, Li Lingzhi is right, although there are many stupid things in the world, most of them are not made by those stupid people who are stupid enough to always mess things up, but by those smart people who look down on stupid people.
Finally survived the difficult years in the past, and finally came to lead everyone to reap the fruits of victory, as the leader, Luo Zhengdao did not want to give the meritorious officers under his command the opportunity to make serious mistakes, that is, the greatest reward and protection for them
There are two pieces of news in front of Luo Zhengdao, the good news is that there are treasure maps, and the bad news is that God knows which one is true, even if he stares at him bigger than a bun, he can't tell the truth from the fake.
"Can't these treasure maps distinguish between real and fake?".
couldn't help but let out a sound similar to the wailing of a defeated dog, Luo Zhengdao was purely unwilling, and his subordinates seemed much calmer, and a mage advisor said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. We could not find the original treasure map that fits the characteristics of the times, and the more credible of these treasure maps are all facsimiles or rubbings, considering that most of the contents are similar, there is only less than 10% difference, and we judge that the real map may have been destroyed in the process of circulation. ”
The Pirate King is the supreme glory of the Voyagers, and even if they are given the opportunity to become gods, it is estimated that most sailors will still be more inclined to become a Pirate King.
In the New World, from ancient times to the present, gods belonging to different god systems can open a mahjong parlor of a large scale, but the Pirate King can count it with one hand, which creature with higher gold content and higher intelligence than a pig can figure it out.
Pirates aspire to join the throne of their predecessors, but the ultimate destination of dreamers is to die in the sand, and most of them will not do anything superfluous when they know that their success is hopeless, but to remember their hard struggle, and then calmly accept the arrangement of fate. Some guys have never taken the usual path, they are completely blackened under the blow of failure, holding me unsuccessful, none of you can expect to succeed in the black belly, most of the things that bury mines for latecomers are done by those who can't afford to lose along the way, and one of the most heinous ways is to destroy the treasure map.
