Chapter 205: Clever Fools

"Why don't you sell it? Of course sell! It doesn't matter who he is, we just care how much money he can pay and whether he can pay the bill on time! ”

The dukes and marquis of the Sibuikanchi Autonomous State could not have imagined that not only did they have the first course of the war, but even the import of weapons and ordnance was the first time for the entire continent that they had imported weapons and ordnance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Eating the first dish will inevitably be slaughtered with a big knife, this is a universal truth. When the merchant plenipotentiary of the Sibui Kanchi Autonomous State approached the steel floating city in the Great Hollow Bay with his mouth wide open, and was lifted to deck with the dinghy by a crane, he knew that he had completely lost all form of initiative in all matters concerning the goods.

This outsider pusher, even if he is trampled under his feet, he can make people feel weak. He had been threatened by the chief of the border guards on the border between the two countries, and he had to admit that this was the real deterrent compared to the brazen threat of force - there was no need to open his mouth, and this steel floating city was enough to make all outsiders and visitors feel a monstrous wave in their hearts that was completely different from the calm waters of Dakong Bay.

Since Party B is quite acquainted, the business is naturally quite easy to discuss. On the very next day, the two sides successfully reached a package agreement: the Chinese side would provide enough swords, bows and arrows to arm 20,000 men in mass-produced weapons, as well as armor and tents for 4,000 regular troops, and the Sibui Kanchi side would pay in cash in gold and silver.

While the merchant was still rushing from a third country on the shore to Xibui Kanchi overnight, the radio waves reflected and propagated under the ionosphere had already sent the first order to Mendong City, thousands of miles away. After receiving the telegram, the corresponding department in charge of the operation immediately took action, turning the order into a specific and micro production task, and sending it to the corresponding enterprises in parts.

The order from Sibui Kanchi appears to be a paper list, but in fact it contains the collaboration of the entire Elta industrial sector. For example, taking a bamboo throwing gun as an example, from the planting base of moso bamboo in Elta, which uses all kinds of agricultural materials in the planting base, to the transportation enterprises that transport bamboo to the processing plant, and then to the bamboo processing stores set up by the Panda Group in the major cities of Elta and the surrounding areas, each of these links dare not say that "the interests are evenly matched", but at least "mutual benefit and win-win", it is the homework that decision-makers must do to revitalize all these links into a game of chess.

The village of Anerki, located in the basin northeast of Elta, is the starting point of this "chain of gun-throwing interests". East Elta's agriculture was particularly badly damaged by the Elta Liberation War, and many of the crops that relied on labor had to be planted – and after a field trip to the countryside by an agricultural technician (first generation) from Elta, conditions in the Anji Basin were particularly suitable for growing moso bamboo.

China's annual output of moso bamboo is more than 500 million, which is more than 80% of the world's total production. As for the total number of plants, which province in southern China does not have one billion or two billion plants?

The current situation is not to say that China wants to move these planting industries to Elta - but the popularity of moso bamboo products in Elta is beyond expectations, and it may not be enough to meet the demand in the future if it is only planted in the mountains and forests in China.

Small bamboo products, such as bamboo chopsticks, bamboo table mats, bamboo cutting boards, bamboo poles, large bamboo mats, bamboo furniture...... In the industrial sector, bamboo for papermaking, scaffolding, and even activated carbon made of bamboo are used. Needless to say, the excellent properties of moso bamboo itself that grow fast (fast-growing seeds can reach the required strength of furniture in two years) and large yield (the average yield per mu can reach about 500 catties) play a pivotal role in the current Elta infrastructure.

As soon as the villagers who had returned from the war returned to their homeland, they learned from the newly arrived village governors or from the village and town bulletin boards and leaflets that the central government was willing to sign a contract with them for the planting of moso bamboo, the specific content of which was: the central government would provide "mother bamboo" for afforestation, agricultural materials and agricultural technology, but the villagers of Anerji Village must ensure that by the time the inspection/implementation deadline for each period of the contract is reached, Each villager who signed the contract had the number of finished bamboos in the amount specified in the contract.

Compared to the farmers in the west who planted fruit trees and the farmers in the middle who planted magic powder on the "wasteland", these farmers in the east obviously got a big advantage - there were basically no pests and diseases in the other world that could threaten the growth of moso bamboo......

But when the factory staff of the Panda Group led the motorcade to Anerji Village with the contract they had signed, he would never have imagined that he would not be faced with the villagers who welcomed them with money, but the wall of bamboo horses.

"Huh?" The representative of the factory walked a few steps around the rejection horse from a distance, and the second monk was really puzzled. I saw him turn his head and ask the local policeman who was in charge of the security of the convoy with him:

"Officer, could it be that there are still bandits operating in this area recently, otherwise how could the villagers build such a defensive facility?"

"Bandits?" The policeman who was transferred to the magistrate shook his head vigorously, "It's the upright Elta Army who is in charge of suppressing the bandits, not a rookie like us!" What's more, they also made two trips, and they almost turned over the land of these two provinces! The most ruthless bandit in the past few years, now the straw pole in front of his grave is as high as the wheel of a carriage! ”

That's true. Without the Army's almost "no cost" campaign to crack down on bandits, there would have been no way for the localities to go all out to develop their economies as they are now. For example, today's merchants no longer need to choose to go in groups or alone according to the region, at least the night travel on the road has a certain guarantee; Rural areas close to mountainous and hilly areas are no longer afraid of becoming "fat sheep" raised by bandits, and they will be "harvested" by strongmen every once in a while, so that they can go all out to develop the economy......

The Elta Army also lost many veterans who survived the Elta Liberation War in the anti-bandit operation. Roughly speaking, the total losses of bandits (permanent disability and casualties) can almost always be compared with the counteroffensive phase of the Elta Liberation War - one can imagine how much Elta's army paid for the long-term stability of the country.

A glorious but at the same time gloomy organization quietly grew at this time, and the "Elta Council for the Disabled and the Bereaved Families" gradually climbed to the table. The top boss of the policeman, who had just praised the military, had only one meat leg and the other leg was a wooden prosthetic leg - no doubt he was also a member of the council.

The representative of the factory silently said yes in his heart, and then nodded. Then he straightened his stomach and said in a voice to the seemingly silent and uninhabited village:

"We are the buyers of the Panda Group, villagers, get ready to take us to see your bamboo, and then exchange the bamboo for a wad of bills......

"Liar!"

The foul language, which everyone present did not expect, was thrown in the direction of the convoy after rejecting the horse, accompanied by a whole bamboo shoot with skin that was obviously rotten. The factory representative led by him was fortunate to be quick and flashed two steps to the side to prevent the rotten bamboo shoot from "climbing" on his trouser legs.

Swindler? While dodging, the representative of the factory was stunned for a moment. This contract was explained by their village and town governors, word by word, and finally the fingerprints were also pressed down by the villagers themselves without the compulsion of a third party, and there was no suspicion of abduction and coercion.

Without exception, this package of agreements is guided by the spirit of "retreating from the country and advancing by the people." To be honest, it may be the state that suffers, it may be a joint venture group, but it is absolutely impossible for the small people in the market to make decisions for themselves with their own handprints.

In this context, the group and the factory are not in a hurry to shout that they are suffering, and shouting that they have been deceived has already given the central government full face -- for the sake of long-term planning, the central government, the group, the factory, and other Party A have each borne 50 percent of the support amount in these agreements. If you are still called a liar like this, then I am afraid that there is really no way to live this life.

"Big capitalists! Swindler! Get out of our village! 'Don't be unpredictable! ’”

At this moment, everyone was completely stunned. Naturally, the coachmen did not understand the meaning of the word, and the most knowledgeable representative of the factory had only heard of it slightly—he was now scratching his head diligently, trying to dig out the meaning of the word from the depths of his mind.

As for the latter sentence, no one knows what it means at all. In fact, this phrase only appeared in propaganda leaflets and official documents for the Bilunar Church and the Western Expeditionary Army, and basically did not appear in front of the public - not even once.

In order to translate obscure classical Chinese into a lingua franca, it is inevitable that there will be a considerable degree of distortion in the pattern and meaning of the sentences. If we do not figure out the weight of this sentence in the context and the gist of the paragraph, it will be difficult for readers who are incompatible with Han culture to think about what the meaning of this sentence is......

Obviously, there was no one else who taught this group of villagers. It's a pity that the posture level of the factory representative is still insufficient, and he still needs to learn one to talk and laugh with the villagers - but from his movements, he can already see that the current situation is "a little bad".

I saw him take two steps back, raise his hands above his head, and retreat with the whole team. Although I don't know what the people in this village are doing, and they don't even want the money to send to the door, but now they still don't want to irritate them too much.
