Chapter Eighty-Five: The Sprouts Are Rising in the World
It's not the first time Cassia has heard of the saying that Kunlun is going to Kunlun, but saying that the moon is on Kunlun really shocked him.
Before leaving, he searched other places, but he didn't see anything superfluous and useful, it was still like that, the whole mausoleum was not as complicated as he imagined, more like an unfinished project.
After coming out, Cassia temporarily found a hotel and began to think about how to go to heaven.
As for what kind of fateful person he is, Cassia has a confused head, although he is different from the past, thousands of miles away as if he is in front of him, but to say that flying out of the earth, it still needs some preparation.
............
Tria, late, sunny.
In the bright light, Sost was working at his desk, the cigarette butts in the ashtray were about to pile up, and the room was filled with choking smoke, like a heavy fog.
Avan Car, who had resurrected ChΓ©ng RΓ©n, pushed open the door and slapped her nose in disgust, feeling that she had to take care of Sost's daily habits.
"I didn't think you had such a hard time smoking. β
Yafanka tossed a thick stack of reports on the table and handed them to Sost one by one.
"Tiger people have a sensitive nose, and if you don't have tobacco, it's a good choice to have a coffee pick-me-up. β
Yafanka had no choice but to make Ferrante a cup of instant coffee before continuing to work.
"No, half a month ago, the Knaz River burst its banks, and the issue of temporary housing was taken by the House, but workers in nearby factories have offered to raise their wages in response to rising prices. β
"Prices?" Sost took the report, "doesn't the company provide daily subsidies such as free food?"
"Yes, it was arranged as soon as possible, but more businessmen are still sitting on the goods and want to make a profit. β
"Huh...... These former nobles lost their titles and began to make a comeback in commerce, but they underestimated Sost...... Agreed to temporarily raise salaries, transfer supplies from all over the country to the disaster area in the name of the branch, and sell them at the normal price, if they reduce the price, we will always be cheaper than them. β
Yafanka nodded, silently remembering Sost's arrangement, and then continued to hand out the report.
"You are invited to attend this year's graduation ceremony of the Flight Academy, and in addition, the third generation of combat vehicles at the Southern Plant has begun experiments. β
"I will attend the graduation ceremony, and I will not go to the flight experiment, just report the complete data. β
"Well, at yesterday's House of Lords meeting, some members proposed to print more banknotes to make up for the lack of funds in the House. β
Sost raised his head and took a sip of coffee: "The crackdown on counterfeit money is not strong enough, and the House wants to print more money if it has no money? And then die with me? They want to learn the underworld currency of the Metaverse, a million denominations? I will personally solve this matter tomorrow." β
Yafanka nodded: "There is also this one, the No. 36 experimental group of the research department is preparing a big guy, which is expected to be completed in half a month, I hope you can go over and take a look." β
"Experimental Group 36? is the experimental group that almost hit the giant with the idea, and even wanted to dismantle the giant?"
"Right...... You know, they're the craziest group of experiments, and if the biology department's research had been handed over to them, I'm afraid there would have been big problems. Yafanka shrugged helplessly.
"What the hell are they doing?"
"The report didn't say that it was mysterious, but it was only explained that it was a big guy who could improve our manual computing power. β
Sost was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is the working life of the two, and they don't rest until late, and the reports are sorted out and sifted by Yavanka, and handed over to Sost to make a hammer.
In the five years since Yafanka's resurrection, this has been the case almost every day, and the human empire in the Atlantic Continent, except that the information age has not arrived, has been infinitely close to modern society.
It wasn't until late at night that Yafanka breathed a sigh of relief and handed the last report to Sost.
"The goods from Nanlu have arrived, and they are temporarily stored in Warehouse 1, but I'm curious, how did you convince the dragon to hand over the dragon's blood and scales?"
Sost shrugged: "Gold, precious stones, there is nothing more than this is the dragon's favorite, otherwise the Knaz River will burst its banks, and where will it be the turn of those down-and-out nobles to sit on the ground." β
"It's not just those down-and-out nobles, the Orcs of the Southern Continent haven't been at peace lately. Yafanka reminded.
Thorst frowned and kept nodding, "Orc...... Orc ......"
............
On the same night, the atmosphere on the Orc Parliament Hill was very solemn.
Before the war in the Western Continent began, the patriarchs of the thirteen orc clans were all young and strong, but now that so many years have passed, they have all become middle-aged.
The reckless spirit of fighting and killing has faded a lot, and the calmness of intrigue has become a mask and is worn on everyone's face.
The bright incandescent light emitted a blinding glow, and the thirteen patriarchs in the conference room were silent, none of them wanting to give their opinions first.
After a while, I couldn't help this weird atmosphere, and the tiger opened his mouth with a big grin:
"Sost has raised the price of electricity again, and the orcs have a large annual expense. β
"That's a clumsy reason. The fox patriarch shook his head, "Why don't you say that Sost has also raised the purchase price of oil and coal, and this year's snow disaster in the south, the factory has also increased the salary subsidy?"
"Perhaps we can unite with the dwarves to control the source of oil, coal, and all kinds of ores. The Dogman Patriarch said.
"Dwarves, dwarves are almost in the same pants as Thorst. The Deer Patriarch sneered, "There are no more dwarves who used to be able to compete with the Gewu Society, and now only the dwarves who follow Thorst's ass are left." β
There was nothing wrong with the words of the deer patriarch, but as soon as the words 'Gewuhui' came out, the conference room fell silent again, and everyone knew what this night secret meeting was for.
Half a year ago, an unexpected guest came to the Orc Parliament Mountain, Kvass.
The former president of the Gewu Society led the few dozen remaining diehards of the Gewu Society to escape the shipwreck deliberately caused by Ferrante that year, and were stranded in the Southern Continent, where they finally had no choice but to find the orcs after a long time of lurking.
"I don't think there's a need for this, there are only a few dozen kvasss left, and it's a fluke, and now Sost is something he can compete with? β
"I think we can give it a try, as the werewolf patriarch said, even the United States of the Free States is not true freedom, how much better can we orcs be?"
"Being restrained by people everywhere, just because of our tribal system, Sost's welfare for the ordinary people of orcs is a full thirty percent less than that of humans!"
"The South Continent is a large producer of oil and ore, and this mining right should belong to us, and Sost is using our resources to balance us, and we also need to be grateful to Dade. β
"What does Kvass say?" the nezumi chief, who had not spoken, knocked on the table, "If our orcs support him, can he stop Sost?"
"The dog who lost his family, what he needs is a stable nest, whether it is successful or not, we have no loss. β
"Vote by show of hands. β
As soon as these words came out, the thirteen patriarchs looked at each other and expressed their decisions one after another.
"10:3, then tomorrow morning's meeting, call Kvass, and let us see how capable he is. β
............
Sost's control over the entire world is almost to the point of being strict, not only does he know every move of the elves clearly, but the orcs also have a lot of nails.
Yafanka had laughed at him, why bother making him so nervous, but he didn't think so, the size of the entire company was too big, so big that if he didn't know everything, he wouldn't be at ease.
Just like the orcs decided to reach out to support Kvass, the tribal system of the orcs made it impossible for Sost's intelligence to be as accurate as the elves.
But the keen sense of smell that he had cultivated over the years still made him take precautions.
Sost Energy has independent forces, which is something that the House of Lords knows about but cannot intervene in, and most of the time they don't dare to touch Sost at all, and even if they do, the so-called bill order is just a dead letter.
In this way, a month after the orcs began to secretly support Kvass, the Sost Electronics Branch was established, led by Experimental Group 36, and began to further develop projects such as electronic computing.
Two months later, the Sost Security Branch was established, and a large number of resources in the head office were tilted, and the branch branches blossomed in the north and south of the continent at the fastest speed.
This is the fastest growing branch since the start of Sost.
Whether it was the unevenness of the Southern Continent or the tentative operations such as the printing of paper money in the House of Lords, Sost smelled a hint of danger.
In the end, economic peace must be built on the use of force, and he understands this very well.
