The Bloodhoof Tavern was bustling with people, and only the largest tavern in Larkin Bede could easily accommodate everyone for a meeting.

Anyone who wants to speak, as long as they raise their hand, can sit in a seat in the middle of the stage to speak. It was originally a place for dancers to do the pole stripping dance. Now the mess of neon lights is turned off, only one fluorescent lamp is on, and a set of chairs is neatly arranged.

Li Mu sat on the seat.

"I have just listened to everyone's speeches and summed up their opinions, most of the comrades hope to be able to bulldoze the entire Lakin Bayde, open up farmland, and build Larkin Bayd according to the original stronghold of the new Linfen."

At this point, he paused.

"I would say that this is not feasible and is going to fail. There is a saying that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. We, who have occupied Larkin Bayd, are no longer the small group that we used to bomb a few transport trucks and raid construction sites. The place of Lakimbed was an important node of communication between the Hindustani people in the west and the Zhuxia people in the east. It is the only way for Ouroboros to transport poisons, and it is also an important window for marauders to sell stolen goods to the Hindustani.

Not only are the Americans eyeing it, but so are Ouroboros and the Doge. You must not let your guard down because you have a piece of land, thinking that you will be able to live a peaceful and good life. In fact, we have reached the most critical moment. ”

Li Mu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's bodies, making the atmosphere of the entire tavern become solemn.

"Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? In our business, the first thing to figure out is this question. In the past, the comrades of the Brotherhood of Liberty have been sacrificing their lives and deaths, but with little success, the most basic reason for this is that they cannot unite real friends in order to attack real enemies.

Some comrades consider the other elders of the Brotherhood of Liberty to be our friends. They thought that we had managed to take down a piece of land and that we couldn't manage it ourselves, so they simply asked the other elders to move to Larkin Bede and build it together.

I object to this statement, which is very naïve, simplistic thinking, and it is completely luring the wolf into the house. ”

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, some people in the audience were in a commotion. The various factions of the Brotherhood of Liberty are not completely disconnected. Some people are even related to each other, and Li Mu's words make them unacceptable.

The Grand Elder sitting in the front row stood up and stretched out his hand to press it down before they quieted down.

"First of all, do you think that the elders are still adhering to the ideals of the Brotherhood of Freedom? Is the relationship between the elders and the members still like brothers? ”

Li Mu glanced at him, and no one stood up to refute him.

"The elders have transformed their relationship with their members into one between slave owners and slaves. When they come to Larkin Bayde, will they give up the privileges they have usurped with great difficulty and sit on an equal footing with everyone? No, they won't, they're going to want to make the place of Larkin Bede the same as the one they rule, riding on everyone's heads.

Of course, we should welcome the ordinary members to come to Larkin Bede from the oppression of the elders.

Who is our biggest enemy in Larkin Bede right now? I think it's the industrialists. Although they call themselves industrialists, I prefer to call them compradors and big landowners. Because of the restrictions in the Middle States, the industry of the Deccan colony was greatly restricted. These compradors just export the raw materials that have been roughly processed to Zhongzhou. In order to earn the difference, they must desperately squeeze the civilians and slaves on the Deccan plateau until the last drop of blood is squeezed out.

The more they squeeze, the more profit they can make.

Although these compradors had always wanted to separate the Deccan Plateau from Zhongzhou, they did not know that what they had done had strengthened the rule of Zhuxia on the Deccan Plateau.

Overtly, the parliament used to control the Deccan plateau with the already broken governorship, but secretly it used two hands.

One hand is cotton, and the relief of the entire Deccan plateau is tied to the chariot of cotton, and all the people of Larkin Bede rely on the currency earned from the export of cotton to import goods from Zhongzhou to meet the consumption needs of the inhabitants. There was no manufacturing in the colonies themselves.

The processed cotton can be stored for an extremely long time, and Zhongzhou can store a large amount of cotton and then drive down the price of cotton. At this point, Larkin Bede's fragile economic chain will collapse in an instant. At that time, the big industrialists will be able to survive with their savings, while the commoners and slaves will have to wait in silence to starve to death.

The second hand of the parliament is grain, and I believe you should know that more than 20 years ago, there were farmers in the Deccan Plateau who grew barley, sorghum and other crops that are resistant to cold and radiation. But the number of farmers who still do so is very rare.

What caused this change, the main thing is that Zhongzhou has been dumping grain on the Deccan plateau. Because of the favorable climatic conditions, the developed chemical industry, the ability to produce a large number of chemical fertilizers, the breeding of excellent varieties, and the grain grown in Zhuxia, even if it is transported by ship from thousands of miles, is still cheaper than the grain produced by Larkin Bayde.

Cheap grain prices have led farmers to turn to profitable cotton, and now that the grain self-sufficiency rate in Larkin Bede is so low that the entire Deccan Plateau will become a cannibalistic hell if the central state reduces the supply of grain even slightly. ”

Li Mu said this, and glanced at Li Mei, who was taking notes seriously.

At that time, some teams of players who supported the Queen of the Wolfheart desperately used ships to deliver food to the Deccan Plateau, but they still couldn't plug this huge gap. She had too little time to shovel the cotton from the fields and plant barley and wheat.

At that time, the continued attack on Ouroboros did not give them a chance to give birth with peace of mind.

"Through these two hands, Zhuxia Zhongzhou has turned the Deccan colony into an extremely deformed existence that can only be maintained by the transportation of Zhongzhou. These compradors and industrialists are their biggest accomplices. They unconsciously acted as a tool for the central state of Zhuxia to rule the Deccan Plateau. The blood and tears of the people of the Deccan colony, the Yamatai colony, and the Negritto colony maintained the life of the crown people in Zhongzhou. ”

"All, we want to really realize our ideals, and Zhongzhou and the compradors are our worst enemies. And the secondary enemies, I think, are the Yama cult and the Ouroboros that relies on the Yama cult to demagogue. (To be continued.) )
