The little merchant drove away in a carriage and humming a little tune. However, this intelligence transmission war has only just begun.

If it comes to passing the request, it must not miss the existence of the "password". From Caesar's invention of the shift cipher, to Huffman coding as the pinnacle of classical cryptography, to the modern public-key key system, countless people have been fascinated by it, and the "life and death" of encrypters and decryptors across the line between paper and radio waves has become an enduring literary theme.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce wanted to send a copy of the news to the rear in carrier pigeons, and he naturally couldn't write it clearly: "I have found out how many soldiers trained by Uffey Mondrich himself have come and what kind of weapons they are carrying-" Even if the messenger of the Western Expeditionary Army was bored and did not catch carrier pigeons in the air and play with his kind, he would not have the courage to do so.

In fact, the encryption/decryption methods distributed by Elta to these subordinate intelligence agencies are the simplest and simplest encryption cards.

Dig out a few holes in a piece of paper and use the characters in the hole as the message you need to convey. Everyone's crypto card is different, so as not to spread to other peers after being caught.

This method requires the same size and the same line spacing, and this seemingly harsh condition is no longer a problem - the beautifully bound letter paper from Sierta has almost destroyed half of the paper-making workshops on the continent of Elta, and these wordless little workshop owners probably can't even think of those toilet paper that "can be seen to be harmless to humans and animals", and after a few fights, they have become demons that almost bankrupt their families......

The president of the chamber of commerce poured out a plastic card the size of a letter paper from the account book. It's normal for a merchant to go out shopping, and it's normal to take a purchase list and bills with him—all that's left is to weave those words into normal letters.

Little did he know that these days, Elta's troops were approaching Garcia. He heard only from his peers and from those who came to the trading houses that Doniva's "green-clad troops" had taken root in the western part of his immediate territory. He didn't even know about what happened yesterday, when Ciudad Piexiano changed hands—hell would he had known.

Because of this, the city is still quiet and peaceful. If this news spreads, there will be a big question mark over whether Garcia can maintain its current prosperity.

The guy who drove the carriage only needed to say hello and started downstairs. The horse's shoes need to be checked before going out, the wooden wheels of the carriage need to be checked to see if there is any problem, and if the horse has any signs of illness...... Of course, after all this is done, the guys and the coachmen will get a good night's sleep and go out for a long time - especially the "road trip", which is not an easy task in Elta.

Along with this piece of information, there was a lot of "inconsequential" information, such as who was stationed on which wall, price fluctuations in the city, the sewers to the west of Garcia were blocked, and the roots of the walls in the burned area were loosened.

"Husband." When the lights were on, the wife, who watched her husband still writing hard from time to time, handed over dinner. "Don't patronize and write, let's eat."

"It's okay if I eat later." The president of the chamber of commerce was considering the wording arrangement, and he didn't raise his head. "Don't worry about me, it's important."

"Well, I'd like to ask one last time...... "The wife didn't leave with the plate, but sat down on the bed next to the desk." Do you really think that Cierta and Emperor Doniva will definitely become the masters of this country? ”

"No doubt." The president of the Chamber of Commerce took a piece of cake and replied as he chewed.

His wife had never seen the strange scene of Mendong City. The bitter haha people did not have a sad face, but shouted the trumpet hard, as if they were working for themselves; The building was not built from the bottom up, but with giant yellow hands piled up from the top like building blocks. On the spacious street in front of each store, there are cleaners hired by the city administrator...... It was as indescribable as the goods he bought.

"So," his wife suddenly began to comment in a very serious tone, "we will temporarily move to the 'Mendong City' you mentioned for a while, will we have no problem?" ”

"Why?"

"Sielta will hit here sooner or later. I'm not worried about what will happen to us with the army coming into the city, I'm just, I'm just worried about ......."

"I understand your concerns." After all, the Western Expeditionary Army is a guest army, and the guest army will be defeated or have no hope of breaking through, so they will properly take Garcia's big fat as the "Last Supper".

It's time to choose between money and security as the final option. The president of the Chamber of Commerce held the body of the quill pen and quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind.

Many of his peers and partners never returned to Garcia after going to Mendong City - although he often sent letters from Ping An and business opportunities to persuade him to come to Xintiandi to develop together, he still could not shake his decision to stay in Garcia because of the huge profits from distributing the Mendong City-Garcia business route.

But when he thought of his son and daughter who died in the Imperial Capital Incident, his old tears couldn't help but flow out. Compared to the branch library he lost that night, the wealth and goods were nothing at all.

After that, he was bent on playing the "scout game" of money and risking his life for Sielta, mostly to numb his painful memories.

Money, in fact, is nothing. He is now almost unrivaled in the city of Garcia. The most important thing is the men who are able to do it under him, and the more important wife who wants to spend the second half of his life with him.

Maybe you can have another child? For the first time, the president of the Chamber of Commerce had this idea. If you can't give birth, you can adopt another one.

Having made up his mind, he turned his head to make up his mind, but found that his wife's face was full of tears......

The proprietors suddenly announced the news in the night, and the men and coachmen were a little surprised—but it was understandable that Garcia's change of banner was said to be in this month, and others said that the Western Expeditionary Army would have to retreat on its own in three months...... In short, there is nothing wrong with the owner choosing to take refuge in the west at this time. The vast majority of people now say they are willing to follow.

There are still some huge quantities of "Chinese goods", and the president of the Chamber of Commerce has decided not to want them. He stayed here with a local guy from Garcia, who was in charge of picking up the goods with the manifest in hand. The money and food and firewood are enough, and the president of the chamber of commerce specially said: If the situation is not right, you can run away immediately, the business is small, and the life is big.

After all, these men had been working under him for years, and there were many talents among them who could be sent to the trading house—an indispensable part of the great chamber of commerce of his dreams......

"Then everyone have a good rest, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." The last sentence of the president of the Chamber of Commerce behind his back is equivalent to the final word.

"I'd rather be a dog in a peaceful and prosperous world than a person in troubled times." The president of the Chamber of Commerce stepped on the stairs upstairs and suddenly thought of what his father had said.

Garcia has suffered too much since the beginning of the misdeeds of the prince of Baccarat. There are still not many traces of smoke and fire in the streets of the Chamber of Commerce, but the chairman still remembers the night when the flames were in the sky, and the innocent people ran and shouted like lost souls in the streets......

"I don't know how many other people are like me, praying for peace......" Thinking of this, the voices and smiles of two teenage boys and girls seemed to appear in front of him again. And their day, it seems like yesterday - but today, Elta, Garcia, has become like this.

There is nothing wrong with the past few years, and Charles has not expropriated violently - the taxes are lower than those of more than ten years ago, when there were sword soldiers more than twenty years ago.

But from wheat to ironware, the price is getting more and more expensive. It is not that any of the same industry will agree to increase the price together, but if the price is not raised, it will be difficult to guarantee the original profit and the wages of the employees......

The interest rate of interbank lending has also increased, and in line with it, the rent and land rent have also risen. However, the increase in wages of Garcia's poor porters simply did not keep up with the cost of living conditions.

No one did anything wrong...... A few months ago, the president of the chamber of commerce had discussed these things with the heads of other chambers of commerce - everyone took out the account books and carefully discussed the details of the entry and exit for a whole day, but they still couldn't find the root cause at all.

But they can't "spontaneously" drive down the price of bulk goods. Small traders with equally keen "price nerves" will immediately step on the threshold of their business group, not to mention the losses they incur.

Charles's Privy Council could not find out why...... The result they gave was to "use the power of the gods" to conquer new lands and new wealth in the other world, so as to ease the situation and "maintain the peace of the Elta Empire and the supreme glory of the imperial power." ”

"Peace under power is not real peace." Dr. Wei grabbed a spicy strip and chewed it for a long time before saying the second half of the sentence: "Peace is not a temporary state, but a stable and sustainable state with a foreseeable future." ”

The same topic is going on in Mendong City - in the Elf's temporary residence, in the future Elven Office.

Ramahetia shook her ears, this was the first time she had heard this statement.

"I want to hear about it."

"If the basis of a peace is a 'superficial phenomenon' reached by the oppression of power or non-intuitive abilities, then tomorrow, or tomorrow's tomorrow, this illusory peace will be dissolved. In other words, the peace we want—" Dr. Wei shrugged, "is 'no one wants to start a war,' not just a peace that 'no one dares to start a war.'" ”
