Although Tu Meng was angry, he quickly controlled his emotions, thought about it and suddenly asked, "That thing is only eighty copper coins, why does it become a gold coin when it is sold to us?!" Sell more to us, will those merchants lose money? ”

Invincible shook his head, Tu Meng was really not good at business, and he didn't notice another reason: "Brown rice is worthless and bulky, in the Saint-Germain Empire, it is easy for you to buy hundreds of thousands of pounds, but what about the transportation costs?" The carriage fee needed to transport it from the Saint-Germain Empire alone was worth more than the brown rice itself! Do you want to do business with something light and profitable, or brown rice that is heavy and perishable? ”

Tu Meng was stunned, but Invincible didn't finish speaking: "In fact, the cost of transporting brown rice by land is not a problem, and in many cases, there will still be merchants who transport grain to sell." However, the Principality of Baya has expressly forbade the transportation of large quantities of grain to the snowstormy tundra, because the Principality of Baya is afraid that once we have enough food, we will be able to wage war against it! ”

Tu Meng nodded, he knew that the Principality of Baya had always forbidden merchants to transport large quantities of grain to the tundra, and it would be good for some small smugglers to sell one or two hundred thousand pounds of grain every year. He also roughly understood the intentions of the Principality of Baya, but he could only reluctantly accept it.

Invincible looked at Tu Meng, who nodded again and again, and continued: "Actually, that's it, we won't be so short of food, because we still have sea routes." Adjacent to the sea, the coastal but calm Dawning City is a natural port. The volume of sea transportation is huge, and the cost is far lower than that of land, with the developed sea capacity of the Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Business Alliance, they can transport large quantities of grain to Dawning City. ”

Tu Meng frowned, he had traveled by sea once, but after the fleet reached Pearl Harbor, a port attached to San Francisco, it never headed north.

The ship's owner even told him plainly that no ship was allowed to sail north of Pearl Harbor, otherwise it would be attacked by the Saint-Germain Empire's navy, and once the ship's Chamber of Commerce was known, the Chamber of Commerce would be expelled by the Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Alliance.

Tu Meng has never understood what the meaning of the order of the Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Alliance is, the Aojin tribe has never had much conflict with these two countries, why did they make this decision?!

Invincible's words unraveled a problem that had plagued him for a long time.

"The Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Alliance have always been allies, and they and the Duchy of Baya share common interests and have their own agendas, but they are surprisingly unanimous in controlling the expansion of our Ogin clan. Although the Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Alliance have no conflict with us, they are afraid that once we attack the Duchy of Baya, especially after crossing the Golden Road into the hinterland of the Duchy of Baya, we will be able to detour through the territory of the Duchy of Baya, and they will also be attacked by us at that time. Therefore, in terms of food, it is very likely that the Principality of Baya has privately reached an agreement with the two countries to control the development of the Aojin tribe with food. His words finally turned Tu Meng's vague feeling of the past into a detailed picture, and Tu Meng finally fully understood why the situation of the Aojin tribe had become more and more difficult in recent decades.

Tu Meng was silent for a moment before asking, "What about ...... What are we going to do? ”

Invincible smiled faintly: "Since the sea route is more convenient than the land route, of course I am willing to choose the sea route." However, we will not be able to compete with the Saint-Germain Imperial Navy in the near future...... Oh, I should say that we don't have a navy at all, so let's just take advantage of them. ”

"Drilling?" Tu Meng looked at Invincible with some confusion.

Invincible chuckled: "Since there is a golden road, then we can use it, anyway, the navy of the Saint-Germain Empire is only heavily fortified north of Pearl Harbor, so we will place the goods ten miles south of Pearl Harbor, and then transport them to the wind and snow tundra through the golden road." ”

Tu Meng was stunned, and after a moment, he asked with some hesitation, "It's that simple?!" ”

Invincible nodded: "That's it!" ”

Tu Meng asked in surprise: "Such a simple thing, neither the Saint-Germain Empire nor the Otto Alliance could think of it?!" Invincible Flash: "That's because they're too smart!" Hum! If it weren't for the Okin people, who would risk being expelled and blocked by these three kingdoms in the future and send food to the Okin tribe?! If you are an Aujin tribe, no matter which way you go, you will not be able to bring back a large amount of food from the human realm! The characteristics of the Aojin clan are obviously impossible to hide at all, and the only talent of the Aojin people who have no money and no power is to sell their martial arts skills to become mercenaries, and they are destined to not form a big force! Who can you buy to work for the Aojin clan?! ”

Tu Meng was dumbfounded......

He knew a lot of friends, and they were all willing to help him, but this help was all based on a personal basis, and for hundreds of thousands of Aojin people, it was simply a drop in the bucket than nothing.

Even though these people know a lot of the powerful people of human countries, they are wise to keep silent when it comes to this kind of thing. Although the feud between humans and the Okin people has been ten thousand years ago, the humans still remember the terrifying combat power of the Okin army! No one wants such a nation that has been discriminated against by mankind and called barbarians to be pressed on their heads again.

The plan that Invincible had just now was only possible to succeed if he had calculated unintentionally. Because they were trapped in the snowy tundra, the Aujin people, who had been accompanied by poverty and hunger for thousands of years, lost everything at all.

They had no words, only the Ogin epic passed down orally from generation to generation by the elders; They have no arable land, so they can only survive by hunting and fishing; They don't have craftsmen, and all the tools are so rudimentary and primitive. They don't even have any money, and the annual income of the entire clan is only a few hundred thousand gold coins, which is extremely difficult just to make up the food for the winter every year!

Isolated by the human world, they can only decline little by little until they completely disappear from Oslo.

What else can make such a nation make outsiders work for it?!

The answer is no!

Therefore, the Saint-Germain Empire and the Otto Alliance did not formulate stricter measures, because for the Aojin people, a people who have basically degenerated into a primitive society, there is no need for strict precautions.

And the Aojin clan, which is only brute force, will never be able to attack the human world, and naturally it will never be able to turn over.
