Chapter 285: A Sense of Crisis

……

"Okay, I can still cooperate and help with a scene. The two sides fought, and then we were defeated and retreated, so that you can be in a good position. However, the price has to be increased by 100,000 spirit stones. Zhao Zhe smiled in his heart, it turned out that this pope was really a face-saving type.

"Commander Zhao, I really can't add more." Although Zhao Zhe's proposal made the Pope very moved. But if you take another 50,000 spirit stones, you won't be able to take them out.

"Then you can't stop me from blackmailing other countries." Zhao Zhe thought for a while, and then sneered: "We have suffered a lot of losses this time, and we have to make up for it." ”

"Well, after this war is over, I will go back to the Papal States to recuperate from my wounds, and I won't see anyone." The Pope was also a ruthless man, willing to sacrifice the interests of those kingdoms in order to achieve his own ends. He is not a saint, exactly, and what does the interests of those kingdoms matter to him? Especially today, when the Holy See is becoming less and less important. Weakening them can greatly increase the prestige of the Holy See, where can such a good thing be found?

The two of you and I passed on the sound one by one, and quickly determined all kinds of details and steps. And the masters on Zhao Zhe's side have almost gathered, and the two sides have started a seemingly tragic battle. But the masters, fighting, hit a relatively distant place. Only then did they disperse.

In the following three months, Zhao Zhe sent people to secretly go to the Papal Kingdom with the Pope's people, and first obtained various spirit stones equivalent to 300,000 units of spiritual energy. As for the treasure worth a billion taels of silver, the old fellow of the Pope also said that the amount was too huge, and it would not be able to raise it in a while, and he would have to be given at least two or three years. The first batch only took away something worth about 300 million taels.

Rao is so, this is also a huge amount of money. After confirming that he received something, Zhao Zhe was also a trustworthy person. After several months of confrontation between the two sides in Southeast Asia, a fierce battle began under the joint performance of Zhao Zhe and the Pope. A group of top masters on both sides are fighting in the dark, and Zhao Zhe has 'fallen' seven congenitals and more than a hundred grandmasters. And the Pope also paid the price of the three angels hanging up, and he himself was outnumbered and "killed" a congenital strongman, but he was also seriously injured and was desperately rescued by a gangster.

Later, under the representatives of various countries, the Pope gave a superb performance, saying that he would bring angels and paladins to judge knights and others to die together with those masters of Zhao State. But the representatives of various countries are desperately persuading each other, and during this time, they have also really felt the strength of this Great Zhao State. Without the participation of the Holy See in the war, the combined navies of their countries would be far from being the opponent of the Zhao State. If the Pope dies, it doesn't matter, and the inheritance will not be broken. But if all the elites of the Holy See are ruined. Next, I am afraid that Islam, which has been bullied for a long time, will fight back.

At this point, the countries really and intuitively felt the power of the Holy See. Subsequently, the Pope showed his amazing combat talent, dragging his seriously injured and crippled body, making several accurate calculations, and "ambushing" the elite of Da Zhao, which made the elite of Da Zhao suffer repeated heavy defeats. The main forces of the fleet had to retreat to the South China Sea and desperately "resist".

This war was fought for a few months. The Pope declared the end of this crusade at sea, saying that the Great Zhao was very strong, and he could only defeat them, but it was impossible to destroy them. And the Holy See has lost nearly half of its strength, and it must go back to recuperate. When he said this, the Pope spurted out the blood in his mouth, looking tragic and inexplicable: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if I hadn't been injured, I would have been able to kill a few more of them." ”

The representatives of various countries were also silent for a while, and in the past few months, their fleets have only waved their flags and shouted in the back, and the losses are not large. The front line had always been held by the direct fleet of the Holy See, and they also knew that the loss of the Papal States this time was too great. Now everyone knows that the Holy See cannot collapse, otherwise, they will really become wild children without support, and I am afraid that they will have to face the combined attack of the Arab world and Da Zhao.

After some discussion, a unanimous agreement was reached. That is to negotiate with Da Zhao and strive for peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

Fierce negotiations lasted more than two months. As early as the beginning of the negotiations, the Pope was sent back to the Holy See by the Paladin because of repeated coma. And the drive of the angelic warrior must also be activated by the Pope himself. Those paladins, the Knights of Judgment, belong to the power of the Holy See. It is not a movement that the representatives of countries can direct.

As a result, in terms of momentum, Da Zhao's negotiators are extremely strong. The attitude is extremely bad, and he slaps the table at every turn and says that he will destroy all your fleets, and not one of them will want to go home alive. Although the representatives of those countries are also old and cunning guys, they can't help but be stimulated to be sad and angry, secretly wondering if it weren't for the Pope being seriously injured and going home, would it be your turn to open your mouth very embarrassed Da Zhao Lion?

Still, if only if. Now, in fact, it is indeed that Da Zhao is much stronger than his own side, and under the increasingly arrogant coercion of Da Zhao's negotiators, the representatives of various countries finally relented. This time, there are a total of thirteen large and small, strong and weak countries. A number of countries with representative surnames in Europe, with the exception of the British, almost all participated in this crusade at sea.

The officials of Da Zhao didn't care who they were, they only knew that they would be compensated for two billion taels of silver worth of gold and silver, and if it was a penny less, Da Zhao's fleet would go to their country for sightseeing. It doesn't matter who comes out of the thirteen of them, anyway, they only know how to take money. In addition, each of their countries must also sign a trade contract with Dazhao, which means that the two sides can trade completely freely and do not charge customs duties to each other. Otherwise, you will have to pay the cost of default.

This point is another trap planted by Zhao Zhe. You know, your side has reached the initial stage of industrialization. What is produced is many times faster than them and at a low cost. If they dump in Europe, it will be a tsunami shock to their manufacturing industry, which has not yet had time to start.

And if they want to sell something to Dazhao, whether it is cannons, muskets, or all kinds of manufactured products. The cost is unlikely to be lower than that of Da Zhao's own country. The only thing that can be sold is resources. As for selling resources in, what if you don't take their tariffs? It's too late to welcome.

The most important thing is that there is not much constraint in this world. Contracts and the like rely on the fists of both parties to speak. That contract was an extremely heavy burden for the European countries that were inferior to others. And for Da Zhao, once an unfavorable situation arises, it is easy to do things like an excuse engine war at any time, and then change the contract and the like.

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhe couldn't help but be happy. Fortunately, the time of his own crossing is relatively early, only the seventeenth century. If it is two or three hundred years late, after the European countries become more and more powerful because of industrialization, they will have to suffer by themselves.

A major war caused by a workers' strike has finally come to an end. Da Zhao is the biggest beneficiary, but the Holy See doesn't seem to be bad, although it compensated Da Zhao for the wealth of up to one billion silver, as well as 300,000 spirit stones. But in the end, the Holy See regained its prestige in the countries, so that after the war, the countries continued to send people to the Papal States to ask for peace and pray for the Pope's protection.

That old god stick only achieved his current status after paying such a huge price. Naturally, they began to loot on a large scale, and no matter what, they also wanted to make up for the losses of the Papal States from the European countries. The old god's looting methods were also quite successful, and the European countries that were supposed to compensate Zhao Zhe with a large sum of money were scraped clean, and their vitality was greatly damaged. The only one who doesn't have to ask for the Pope is Charles II of England. Before that guy ascended the throne, he hugged Zhao Zhe's thigh tightly, and then he was okay in all aspects. As a result, Zhao Zhe also gave him a lot of benefits, some advanced weapons and the like, which could facilitate him to strengthen his rule and collect a large amount of money for Zhao Zhe. After all, this kid still owes Zhao Zhe a lot of mercenary expenses.

At the same time, the rising tide was the pirate Caterina, who successfully helped Charles II to ascend to the throne with revenge, although Caterina did not immediately gain a huge fortune. But also, with the help of Charles II, in turn, crisscrossed the Caribbean and almost monopolized trade there. Tobacco, cocoa, and a series of profiteering materials were transported to Europe by ship, and even by Dazhao. Of course, there was also the opium that was used by Europeans at that time for healing and pleasure.

Opium has just appeared in the territory of Da Zhao. was killed by Zhao Zhe's holy decree, if anyone dares to sell opium in Dazhao, they will be beheaded all over the house. Opium smokers are to be decided. For this kind of thing that can erode the entire nation, Zhao Zhe acted with thunder. Even Caterina was almost expelled by Zhao Zhe, and she was not allowed to enter the territory of Da Zhao again.

In the end, it was Cai Guyan who privately curried favor and interceded for him, so that Caterina was fined a huge sum of money and was able to trade in Dazhao again. But Catalina is not to blame for this matter, opium was originally regarded as a holy medicine. It was only later that people gradually discovered its harmful surname.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. The poppy thing does have a great medical effect, and Zhao Zhe has no intention of exterminating this thing. Instead, in Southeast Asia, some places were found specifically for poppy cultivation on a large scale. Just because you can't sell this thing in Dazhao doesn't mean you can't sell it to other countries, but it's a commodity with the biggest profit ever.

The most important thing is that Zhao Zhe has now confirmed the existence of aliens. There is a great sense of crisis in my heart, heroin is such a thing, I don't know if I can use it to harm aliens in the future?

Chapter 286 Steady Development

……

The 300,000 spirit stones compensated by the Holy See, the income of Da Zhao's treasure hunting fleet in the past two years is 200,000 spirit stones, and the ordinary spirit stone exploration team in the country is more than 20,000. made the aura in Zhao Zhe's small world skyrocket to 520,000 units. After pondering it carefully, he also put the two thousand medium-grade spirit stones that he had accumulated into it. As a result, the total number of auras possessed by the small world reached about 720,000. As for the top-grade spirit stones, there are not many of them, and they have only collected about twenty so far. Although one can be exchanged for 10,000 units of aura, Zhao Zhe is really reluctant. After thinking about it, let's keep it in my hands first.

The reason why Zhao Zhe wants to transform most of the aura is that in the final analysis, it is the strong sense of crisis in his heart. I've seen a lot of science fiction stuff before, and I'm convinced of the existence of aliens. It's very simple, I remember that a scientific documentary I saw before mentioned the possible surname of the existence of extraterrestrials, and the final calculation results showed that there are hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of planets with life in the Milky Way alone. I didn't believe it before, but under Yiyi's evidence, although the formula is not so accurate, there are indeed many planets with life in the universe. Even the races, which Yiyi calls a higher civilization, have hundreds of thousands in the galaxy.

According to the scientific and technological power that Da Zhao currently mastered, it was entirely possible to defeat the defense force of the entire earth with a random exploration fleet of a high civilization. I may have thought that this was a fantasy before, but after seeing those angels, Zhao Zhe's sense of crisis increased sharply. Sanfrey's spaceship had an accident in the solar system and landed on Earth. What kind of angel clan can indirectly control human beings and plunder resources through the god stick. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a cat or dog tomorrow, coming to the earth to stir up the wind and rain. It's better to meet someone who doesn't have any aggression, but who can afford to eat them?

But fortunately, the current crisis of the angel clan will not break out for the time being. Listening to Yiyi, although the angel clan also needs things like spirit stones, as well as various mineral resources. But they need a pure spirit body even more. Because the angel clan originally belonged to the spiritual cultivation civilization, almost all of them were beings that existed as spiritual bodies, and as long as the spiritual imprint was not extinguished, they could live forever. As for those holy angels, they are just biochemical combat people developed by the angel clan. First, it is used as a combat unit, and second, it is used to confuse and control some backward civilizations.

Just like controlling the Holy See, the Angel Clan controls many backward civilization forces in the universe similar to the Earth Holy See. The reason is very simple, it is to use the firm belief of living beings to generate a huge and pure spiritual power. And then store these spiritual powers in various ways, which can not only replenish the consumed spiritual power, but also can be used for cultivation and evolution.

It is true that because of this, the angel clan will not easily destroy some backward planets. Otherwise, who will provide them with spiritual food?

After the higher civilization has mastered great strength, can it do whatever it wants? No, it's not. There is an organization called the Galactic Alliance, which includes almost all the higher civilizations. Several of them are somewhat protective of backward civilizations, for example, even if they are at war, they must not destroy any planet with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers. Another example is not to interfere, invade, control, or give birth to a young civilization.

Don't think that the Galactic Alliance organization has a compassionate mind, in fact, it can't destroy planets, just to avoid wars between some powerful civilizations, you destroy one of my planets, and I destroy one of your planets. Otherwise, as time passes, there will be fewer and fewer planets in the galaxy that are worth living and using. Because war never stops.

As for not interfering with backward planets, the purpose is also very simple. The evolution of living things is always beyond everyone's imagination, and each race will have its own unique route. Those advanced civilizations that have not been able to evolve for a long, long time are also hoping that a certain backward race that has evolved will give them some new enlightenment on the road of evolution, even if it is a little bit of understanding.

In addition to this, there are countless regulations. But even if those regulations were known, they would not have any effect. Because the civilization of the earth is still a young body of civilization. Only when they grow up to break through the limits between lifespan and distance and travel between different star systems will they be recognized as a high-civilization race.

As for the Holy See set up by the Angel Clan on Earth, this is also one of their means of survival, although it violates the regulations of the Galactic Alliance, but sneaky, just don't make a big fuss. It's like just don't control the whole planet and make everyone its slaves. However, even then, it is not a big deal, at most you will be punished, or pay a fine. There will be no trouble such as extermination.

Of course, in contrast, the regulations that destroy planets with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers are very strictly enforced, because it is a major issue related to the survival of the entire higher civilization race. Whoever dares to commit a crime is basically waiting to become a public enemy.

Destroying a planet is inconceivable for people of this era to hear. But Zhao Zhe knew that this was not too difficult for a race whose civilization had developed to a certain extent. Even Zhao Zhe was able to do this kind of thing in the society before he crossed over.

No matter what, Zhao Zhe's current sense of crisis makes him want to develop as soon as possible. If you use too much force to conquer, it is not necessarily a good thing, and you will be labeled as a very aggressive and dangerous element.

But economic aggression is different, it belongs to the soft knife. A knife grinds a man to death. As a result, while Zhao Zhe continues to vigorously promote agriculture, all kinds of industrial production are also accelerating. At the beginning, the so-called industrial production was mostly in fabrics, clothes and other people's livelihood items. Quickly manufacture countless goods, ship them, and transport them to all countries by ship and land.

But once certain goods begin to be industrialized, that commodity will quickly become popular. Once it becomes widespread, astronomical amounts of raw materials will be needed. For example, a wide variety of animal husbandry, planting, and so on. Zhao Zhe used the surrounding countries to produce raw materials, processed them simply, and then transported them to Dazhao, where they were quickly and excellently manufactured into commodities and then sold to countries around the world.

With huge wealth, it is natural to reduce the food burden of Da Zhao, and the fleets are full of them every time, either a huge amount of wealth and resources, or food that they rely on for a living. The animal husbandry and planting industry in the neighboring countries developed rapidly under the seduce of Dazhao's interests. As a result, the people of Dazhao are also much better, and with the transportation of a large number of cattle, sheep and pork commodities to Dazhao, the price of basic food in Dazhao is not expensive.

To say that the price of grain has fallen, the people of Dazhao will be sad, which is not right. First, the current population and occupational structure of Dazhao is gradually undergoing tremendous changes. More and more people are joining the industrial production system. There are also people who have started to specialize in planting, breeding and other businesses. Even the grain prices in Dazhao have been rising, and the peasants have taken a great advantage instead of suffering. Because the cabinet decided to tax the peasants' grain after asking for Zhao Zhe's opinion, it became a purchase of money. In Yan Yu's words, this is called hiding wealth from the people. Over the years, Da Zhao has been plundering outside or earning. It is almost equivalent to the wealth of Da Zhao in the past seventy or eighty years.

It is a great waste of this wealth to hide in the state treasury, and it is better to use the way of development to throw it away to the people for circulation. After circulation, the tax generated will be countless times higher than the original. Then use the tax to continue to stimulate the development of Dazhao.

……

In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years have passed.

Yongtai twenty-three years, early summer.

The capital of Da Zhao is countless times more lively than when Zhao Zhe just crossed.

Today's Da Zhao is the center of the world from the original scholars. By now, it has literally become the center of the world. Year after year of economic aggression, encroachment. makes so far Da Zhao's wealth unparalleled. The total population has gradually increased from 130 million to about 200 million. Compared with the world's total population of about 1.5 billion, although the population of Dazhao accounts for less than one-seventh, it controls seventy percent of the world's wealth.

Since the eighth year of Yongtai, Dazhao has implemented an immigration policy, no matter which country, as long as those who meet the conditions, they can join the nationality of Dazhao. Of course, the so-called conditions are nothing more than the leaders in their fields, geniuses. Of course, in addition to the 200 million Dazhao people, there are nearly 500 million people living in the entire Dazhao territory, and the vast majority of them are foreign gold diggers.

This shows what a privilege it is to be able to live in the capital. It's just that even though the cabinet has made countless policies to control the growth of the population of the capital, it has made the current capital have a population of more than 10 million. The urban area extends outward for dozens of miles. Fortunately, Zhao Zhe still retains some of the traditional culture. The original area of the capital was divided into an inner city, maintaining its original appearance and not being polluted with those modern reinforced concrete.

It is precisely because of this that the capital of Dazhao has experienced explosive development over the years, and the inner city still retains its original flavor. Of course, those who live in the inner city now have some status.

"Bang bang." A series of swift and fast horses' hooves sounded~

Those who were richly dressed and lived in the inner city and were strolling along the streets for shopping hurried to the side. The one who can ride a horse in the inner city is definitely not a cat or a dog.

Sure enough, several young men and women in fresh clothes and angry horses, each riding an exaggerated and sturdy horse, galloped past the people. At this moment, a little girl was standing in the middle of the road, so frightened that she couldn't move. ，……
