Chapter 201: Hungry Tigers Fight for Food
Therefore, in the external countries of the Duchy of Rolluli, such as the East Bui Kanchi Kingdom, the first to eat this batch of "economic poison" are still the royal family and the chaebol. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but it backfired, the first thing that made them fascinated was not the highly toxic anesthetic in the inner core of the poison, but the intoxicating layer of wine-stuffed sugar coating on the outside.
It is also for this reason that the first wave of conflict did not detonate within the state, but between the state apparatus they controlled.
"I'm sorry, the border guard officer has ordered that vehicles carrying 'Chinese goods' will not be allowed to clear customs."
In the pass checkpoint on the East Buikanchi side of the "buffer zone" between the East Bui Kanchi Kingdom and the West Bui Kanchi Autonomous State, a handyman respectfully blocked the way of the merchants who led the group after inspecting the goods in the wagon shed one by one.
"Poor and sour handymen...... Nothing more. The merchant's nostrils exhaled a hot breath of disdain, and his complaint was muffled by the sound of heavy breathing. Commander, please show me, this is a pass issued by the border guard officer himself. This 'Chinese goods' are not included in the prohibited goods? Here, you see, the shaver, matches, towels, soap for washing the face, and loose cloth shirts, which can be used for military purposes? ”
The fat merchant who nodded at his disdainful handyman understood very well that this was a common obstacle at the tense borders of various countries, and even at home, and that there was no need to pay too much attention to it. If you give money, you can easily pass the difficult level.
The fat merchant squeezed the pass paperwork's hand, and a beautiful octagonal gold coin lay peacefully with his palm facing up. The handyman glanced at him and shook his head in a rare way—much to his surprise.
"I can't decide on this." The handyman then waved his hand, "Buffataro! Go, ride your donkey and get the chief of the border guard at that outpost to the east! He's probably still playing cards with the guys there. Dear Mr. Merchant, please be calm before he comes here......"
Where is the chief of the border guard playing cards with his colleagues? Now, he has been constantly patrolling the various passes and key points, and he is busy going round and round - all because of a damn order suddenly issued from above, and I heard that it is still through the fastest fast horses and heralds to take turns to relay to the borders without stopping, which is even more urgent than a full-scale war!
The content of the command is simple.
"Only Chinese goods are allowed to come in, not Chinese goods are allowed to go out."
If the fat merchant heard these words from the mouth of King Moeh, he would definitely have to step on the small bench he was sitting on now, and scold his mother while stepping on it--his way in the East Bui Kanchi Kingdom is not shallow, and his way is quite deep, but his roots are in the West Bui Kanchi Autonomous State, and this time he is doing things for the adults of the West Bui Kanchi Autonomous State, and he wants to give them treasures!
How much did he pay for it from the harbor? How many connections are spent? How much favor is owed? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the thing can't be delivered! The fat merchant was worried about this now, sitting on the bench and constantly looking at the sky and worrying.
"Five or six cars? It's all ...... Chinese goods? ”
Soon after, in a certain pass four or five kilometers away, the chief of the border guard, who was physically and mentally exhausted, heard this, and immediately straightened his waist as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and waved his hand wildly towards the sky. "Buffataro, go, let's go! And Perco, let's go! Bring your soldiers, and the time has come for us to make a fortune and make great achievements! ”
A group of border guards, who had always been on the border, "did not sit without hunger" and only went out to patrol when the food and salary were sufficient, carried some festering flags and ordnance, and rarely set off with a magnificent military force.
This funny appearance is not exclusive to the kingdom of Dongbui Kanchi. They were not standing armies, but armed peasants with land, and the kingdom would pay them in full and then be fully armoured only in times of emergency, even in preparation for war.
Not to mention the spears made of inferior iron spearheads, the wooden shields made of iron sheets tied to wooden planks, and even the complete supply of military shoes, military boots, clothing and hats for these poorly trained armed peasants, that is not a sum of money that the Dongbu Ikanchi Kingdom can afford.
War exploits, military exploits, are what they really desire. The treatment of the regular army, even if it does not mention military salaries, is a "good errand" that they can see with their eyes wide open. What's more, after making meritorious service, you will have a real grange, bounty, and even a fief!
However, now there is no need to shed blood, no need to sell your life, you can have military merits, and military merits are in hand! As soon as these armed peasants lifted their shoes, which had been torn by several holes, and felt the wind pouring into them, they could immediately paint a picture of themselves striding forward with their big leather shoes and leather coats.
About an hour later, half an hour after Buffataro, another handyman on the donkey, had returned, a large stone in the heart of the terrified fat merchant who had been dragged by Buffataro had slipped from the top of the hill and landed at the bottom of the mountain.
It's good that it doesn't slide down, but if it slides down, it's a landslide. For he did see that behind the banner of the border guard, there were at least two or three hundred people in the vast smoke and dust.
Feelings are to stabilize me! The fat merchant glanced at Buffataro in despair, and almost turned his back in anger. As for Buffataro, at this time he showed a harmless but very playful smile on his face, looking at the poor fat merchant.
When the border guard officer personally took the pass he had issued, he suddenly conjured up an ink-stained quill in his hand, as if by magic. In the stunned eyes of the fat merchant, he was so contemptuous, Long Fei Feng Wu generally added a few lines to the pass.
"Huh? Mr. Guard, you, what are you doing here? ”
"Nothing." The chief of the guard blew the ink on it, then turned his head to look at the poor merchant, "Since two days ago, the goods that have been brought in from Elta have only been allowed to enter and not leave. ”
At the same time, the fat merchant raised his left hand high—it was a gesture of rubbing the gold coins. Others may not know, but the border guard officer definitely knows it.
"Sir, there are some businesses we can do, but there are some businesses that I can't do." The border guard officer shook his head, put his hands behind his back and began to sigh. "Even if you can convince my superiors, then I, as the person responsible for directly letting you out of the country, if His Majesty the King is directly held accountable, will this big black cauldron still be pressed on my head intact? You know, this is an order from His Majesty the King, and it's not a joke. ”
"So what should I do?"
"Feel free to be as happy as you like." The border guard officer put on a look of indifference, "If you feel that you have money and have nowhere to spend it, find a pit and bury these good goods, then naturally no one will care about you." But if you want to get some costs back, you'll have to follow me—"
At this point, a complete ferocity finally shot out of the border guard's eyes.
"Then you have to go with me and my team to the capital and sell these things to His Majesty. How many gold coins you had intended to sell to the autonomous rebels of Sibui Kanchi, our Majesty the King will be the most just, and will not lose even a single copper from you. ”
That's a high-sounding thing, but how can a fat businessman not see through the danger here? In front of His Majesty the King of East Bui Kanchi, who dares to think of making money while kneeling? Isn't that deadly?
At most, after calculating the cost, he averaged the cost of a "reasonable" price with his own cost, and quickly threw out the hot potato in his hand - Rao, which may not be able to accommodate the favor of His Majesty.
And as long as the king is a little displeased, will he still be a fart in his future business? Who is it bad to offend and offend the king? It's really impatient! The best he could think of was to throw these things to the king of the East Bui Kanqi Kingdom for a "beautiful" but bloody price, and he had only one way to live.
However, if it is so simple to compromise with the Dongbu Yikanqi side, then he is really a bamboo basket for nothing, and he will lose his wife and soldiers. First of all, it is the bankruptcy of the idea of currying favor with the Sibui Kanchi Autonomous State, that is, its own basic forces; Secondly, it is a loss that rolls on the ground. In fact, no matter which consequence it is, it is a weight that you don't want and can't bear......
However, what happened to him was only one of the many merchants of the Sibuikanchi Autonomous State, as well as those associated with the Sibuikanchi Autonomous State. Even from the height of the entire Bahsivita continent, such a means of "closing the borders of the country to single-source goods" is not uncommon in this short period of time. Especially for the two countries that were once hostile and now face each other, whoever is closer to the Duchy of Rolluli, or even whoever occupies the only land passage to the Principality of Rolluli, will have a legitimate reason and opportunity to take possession of the Moistur from the industrial countries alone.
The fat merchant, after being slaughtered all over the ground, naturally fled back to the self-governing state of Sibui Kanchi with a wail, and knelt at the door of a nobleman and cried—what could be more painful than not being able to be loyal and unable to offer treasures? This is how the Fat Merchant cried and described his encounter in the East Buikanchi Kingdom to a nobleman of the West Buikanchi Autonomous State.
This was not enough, the fat merchant finally took out the magic weapon of Zhenshan - a "Chinese goods" left by himself. Speaking of which, it is also strange that the king of East Bui Kanchi was a little compassionate, and finally gave the merchant whom his subordinates described as "loyal", "as a reward", and allowed him to keep it for his own use.
Of course, King Moeh, who was still in the pattern, would not have imagined that it was his trust and compassion in his subordinates that finally detonated the damned war.
