Chapter 42: Gold and Diamonds
Sun Hao knew this, so he was reluctant to fight with the British, as long as the British were given some benefits, they would definitely let go of this chicken rib colony. Then contact the Germans, give them some benefits, and then get the northeast they occupy, and then you can directly send troops to drive the Dutch out of the Papua islands.
The Dutch did not have many troops in their colonies in the South Seas, and the warships were also some outdated and backward ships, and the former sea coachmen had long since sunset and had long lost their former glory. Even if the war started directly, Sun Hao was completely sure that he would drive the Dutch out of the South Seas directly. But Sun Hao knew that now was not the time, and he was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the British to have no time to take care of Nanyang.
The Papuan islands have an area of 800,000 square kilometers, and as long as you take all of them, it is enough for a few years of development on your own. The climate of the islands of Papua is too humid for the development of industry. Therefore, Sun Hao did not plan to build an industrial base on this island. It is enough to have a large industrial area next to the city of Restoration of Sight.
After walking out of the war room, Sun Hao opened the trader and contacted Wang Bo.
After Wang Bo got the sharp weapons and grain traded by Sun Hao in the past two years, his strength developed rapidly, and he had almost formed the number one force in the north of the Wuji Continent. In the past two years, Wang Bo was not carried away by the joyful achievements, but developed steadily, and only attacked the four forces in two years. After conquering the territory of these four countries, Wang Bo began to develop and integrate the populations of these territories.
With the miracle drug of penicillin, Wang Bo is now about to become the number one invisible rich man in the Wuji Continent. Even though he got countless fortunes from selling penicillin, Wang Bo was very shrewd and sold penicillin for two years to many countries, which did not know that this miraculous potion was controlled by Wang Bo.
Wang Bo was also worried that he would become everyone's disease, so he kept forbearing.
Hearing that Sun Hao wanted to trade with him, Wang Bo happily immediately turned on the video talker.
"Hello Your Excellency Sun Hao, I'm so happy to see you." Wang Bo used a large number of horned oxen, women, children, iron pear trees, and nanmu that no one wanted to trade with Sun Hao to deal with magic drugs and weapons, which allowed him to develop, for Sun Hao, Wang Bo was very respectful, and even regarded Sun Hao as a friend with a knife in both ribs, otherwise he would not trade penicillin as a miracle medicine to himself.
"Your Excellency Wang Bo, I see that you are full of red light and refreshed, have you encountered any happy events?"
"Uh-huh! His Excellency Sun Hao really has a good eye, and even this point can be seen, you entrusted me to help you find diamond mines and gold mines last time, and they have been found, and there are these two ores in Dingyuan Kingdom, thousands of miles away from my Lanshan Country, and the output is very rich. ”
Sun Hao learned from Wang Bo that the common currency of the tens of billions of people in the Wuji Continent was silver. Jewelry is also very valuable, but it has little value in gold and diamonds. Therefore, Sun Hao entrusted Wang Bo to help him find these two valuables.
The role of gold and diamonds on the earth is self-evident, fools know its value, and the role of gold can also support money. Sun Hao is arranging his own gold standard policy in advance, striving to save more gold and ensure the smooth circulation of his currency.
Now that Wang Bo already had the news of these two ores, Sun Hao knew that he would definitely attack Lan Dingguo sooner or later, take down these ores, and then trade with himself.
"Your Excellency Wang Bo, when will you start attacking Dingyuan Kingdom? I can support you with 200,000 big knives and axes, and I support you for free, and I don't want you a penny. ”
"Oh! Thank you so much Your Excellency Sun Hao, if I have 400,000 sharp weapons, my army's combat effectiveness will definitely increase a lot. At most, I will launch an attack at the beginning of spring next year, but I hope that His Excellency Sun Hao will trade weapons to me as soon as possible. ”
"No problem, in a month, 400,000 weapons will definitely be handed over to you. One more thing, how was the last time I asked you to help me collect the personnel I needed? ”
When Wang Bo heard Sun Hao say this, he was a little embarrassed, there are many tall white faces and men, and there are many people with yellow faces, but men and women with a height of 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters are really not easy to collect, until now, Wang Bo has collected more than 1,000 white men and women asked by Sun Hao, and more than 1,500 people with yellow skin, which is still far from the number of people with 5,000 people with both skins that Sun Hao requires.
"Your Excellency Sun Hao, you also know the situation of our Wuji Continent, short people are really hard to find, so far only about 1,000 white men and women, and about 1,500 people with yellow skin." After finishing speaking, Wang Bo looked a little embarrassed.
Hearing that there were more than 2,500 people in total, Sun Hao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but it was always good that there was none! As long as the intelligence department and spy personnel are perfected, they can go back to the earth to find people in the future.
"Your Excellency Wang Bo, since you can't find it, then forget it, if you are troublesome, then you can trade these more than 2,000 people to me!"
Half an hour later, the two closed the deal. Wang Fang, director of the intelligence department, was overjoyed to get more than 2,000 people who met his requirements, and left quickly with more than 2,000 people.
After the transaction was completed, Wang Bo thought that Sun Hao hadn't traded with him for nearly half a year, so he asked: "Your Excellency Sun Hao, I still have countless women and children here, I don't know if you still want it?" ”
After Sun Hao heard it, he showed a helpless wry smile, now his territory has reached the limit, and there are already more than 9 million people on his territory, and they are all concentrated together, forming a huge city. At this time, it was probably already the largest city in the world.
In this era, population represents wealth, and I would like to get more population resources, but it is not suitable for trading at present.
"Your Excellency Wang Bo, my territory can no longer accommodate more people, and it may take a few more months before I can exchange women and children with you, but I want to trade more men, whether yellow or white." Sun Hao really wants to take Australia directly, that continent has an area of more than 7 million square meters, even if 200 million people are arranged on it, it will not seem crowded. It's just that now is not the best time, and I can't fight with Britain yet.
Wang Bo was a little disappointed when he heard this, he now has more than 3 million women, more than 1 million men, and more than 1 million children, and the daily consumption is a lot of expenses. But fortunately, under Sun Hao's guidance, these women were responsible for cultivating the saplings of the iron pear tree and Nanmu, which allowed them to play some wealth creation results.
There is no country in the Wuji Continent that uses women to form troops, so Wang Bo does not dare to create this precedent, so as not to damage his reputation.
"Your Excellency Sun Hao, you also know that our grain output here is not high, even with the planting technology of chemical fertilizer you traded, it cannot meet the food needs of my country, so I hope you will support me with another batch of grain."
"Didn't ask!" Sun Hao promised that he could retain his future population just by paying some food, which was a very worthwhile thing. Now that there is a surplus of grain in his own territory, it doesn't matter if he supports Wang Bo. But they all supported him with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and wheat and rice were kept for his own people to eat.
