Chapter 221: Investigation of the South Wind

"yes, you're right." Li Chengdong sighed and nodded with a complicated expression, but it was impossible for their Nanfeng to have these things.

What a new type of yeast, a new type of decomposer, this requires biotechnology!

From this small conversation, the two sides got the information they wanted from each other.

For the decision-making level of the Yunhai, it is almost certain that these people are not disguised by brain control bugs. Because of the unique physiological structure of brain control insects, drinking coffee will be directly poisoned. And the other party has never encountered such strange creatures, so that they mistakenly believe that the coffee trees are planted for pure entertainment......

"The people of the Lan League don't know much about Yanghe...... Listening to their tone, they seem to be a little short of food? ”

Ding Yuan heard their conversation from the earphones and shook his head, "Forget it, as long as the other party is a serious human being, there is no problem with drug communication." You didn't find any suspicious traces, did you? ”

"Nope." The observers all shook their heads.

One of them said: "It's just that they are too curious, everyone is looking at our various buildings with curiosity, observing our Yunhai." ”

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "It's normal to be curious, after all, our shelter is more than twenty times the size of theirs!" We may dislike the Sea of Clouds as being too small and crowded, but to the people of the South Wind, it's outrageous. In the current environment, big means safe. ”

Yes, for the South Wind, the Sea of Clouds is already an existence that needs to be looked up, whether it is in terms of size, technology, or population size, it is a behemoth that needs to be looked up.

The Nanfeng is only 10,000 people, which is indeed a bit pitiful......

Of course, the diplomats of the South Wind also learned the information they wanted to a certain extent.

The diplomat, Li Chengdong, sighed secretly in his heart, because the high-ranking people of the Yunhai were worried about the problems of meat production, indicating that they had a surplus of grain.

Only with the extra grain can it be possible to raise some animals.

This is definitely good news!

Think about it, if two shelters meet together, and both sides are experiencing a food crisis, then the best possible way to survive is to go to war with each other.

Fortunately, this situation did not really happen, and the other party had more food, but there was not enough meat, so there was no big problem......

On the contrary, the cultivation of the Southwind ...... It's not very good.

A population of 10,000 is too small to sustain even basic industry.

The Nanfeng was inhabited by the original family of politicians, seven aunts and eight aunts, and there were hundreds of people in one family, plus a total of more than 2,000 soldiers, and almost half of the population was not engaged in production.

In this case, after the culture medium of soilless cultivation is used up, there is no way to produce it, so you can only rely on traditional agriculture.

The resilience of traditional agriculture is not enough. In the past year, a sudden blight has reduced grain production, and if it were not for some grain stored in the granary, there would have been a famine.

Therefore, their current food supply is barely in a balanced state, and it is difficult to squeeze out more grain for storage. If this continues, if there is another natural disaster, even if the granary is flooded, there will be a great famine!

Li Chengdong secretly pondered in his heart: "As long as the Yunhai can give us 10,000 people and evenly distribute three months' food, then there will be a certain guarantee." And 10,000 people, three months' rations, is only one-fiftieth of the Yunhai's grain reserves, for the high-level of the Yunhai, it is completely negotiable. ”

Of course, he knew that things were definitely not that simple, and he didn't ask for it directly.

Attachment to the other means loss of independence.

Even if you sell yourself, you have to find a way to sell it at a good price, not cheaply. Friendship when it is time to make friends, and talk about interests when it is time to talk about interests, this is what a qualified politician should do.

……

In this way, the two sides continued to probe and mediate, and it was not until this afternoon that the diplomatic team of more than 20 people found a place to live and began serious internal talks with the top management of the Yunhai, such as commercial trade, military cooperation, and personnel exchanges.

Similarly, there are also some diplomats and superpowers of the Yunhai who go to the South Wind to investigate what the situation is and whether there is a potential crisis......

Even if the other party only has a population of more than 10,000, you still have to pay attention to it, and you have to understand how the other party lives, what its strength is, and how much benefit the Yunhai can get in the exchange.

Lu Yiming has also followed these days and participated in the investigation of the South Wind, and his mind possession ability can easily hack into the Internet of the South Wind and investigate the security issues.

Okay, the security issues weren't found, but the internal corruption of this small vault was quite serious.

He possessed other people's mobile phones with his mind, and observed several "multi-person sports", and even the uncle with a meaty face, where he smelted copper...... It's a little disgusting to watch.

Needless to say, Lu Yiming always felt that he had returned to the feudal era.

It wasn't until he returned to the Sea of Clouds that he let out a long sigh, "Damn, what the hell is this place!" There is even a special copper smelter. ”

The rest of the diplomats were also not very satisfied with the inner workings of the Southwind.

But because it's the other party's internal affairs, there's no interest in meddling in things.

"Everyone, welcome back. Negotiations aren't going well these days...... Until several topics were repeated, the other party wanted to buy our food, and did not want to bleed. They are only willing to trade with some raw materials such as steel, and our side is certainly not very satisfied. We can recycle steel, and if we don't build a lot of civil engineering, it's still enough. ”

Ding Yuan rubbed his temples and said with a slight headache.

With negotiations at an impasse, he brought a small group of people together for a brief meeting.

The expectations of both sides are a little different.

What the Nanfeng needs most is grain, and if it can get back dozens of tons of rice, it will be the biggest harvest.

And the Yunhai is more ambiguous here, dozens of tons of rice for a little steel, it doesn't make much sense. For small forces, they don't really want anything, and they don't really want to rob each other, so they can only fish for each other's appetite first.

"What, they are short of food over there, can they negotiate without hurrying? I'm starving to death, how can I do this? Lu Yiming said in surprise: "During my investigation, I found that many people have swollen hands and feet, which is due to the lack of an amino acid." ”

"Isn't it not to the point of starvation, although there is a shortage of food, but the main thing that is lacking is reserve food...... Reserve food, understand? The ability to resist risks is a little worse, but it is not particularly urgent...... Unless there is an immediate outbreak of natural disasters such as blight, and even food rations are not enough, it is possible for us to slaughter them. ”

Ding Yuan paused, shook his head again, and said: "In particular, the politics over there are too chaotic, such a small boat, there are only more than 10,000 people, a total of six different political groups, in fact, it can't be said to be a political group, but six big families in different countries, each family has hundreds of people, each controlling their own army and wealth. ”

"You do the math, each family, plus the army under our control, we count eight hundred, so there are five thousand!"

"There are only 10,000 people in total, 5,000 people are nobles and do not engage in production, and the living conditions of the other 5,000 civilians can be imagined, there are no schools or anything like that, and it is impossible to run any kindergartens like ours."

"In addition, each family has its own interests, and it is ...... want to unify opinions" Speaking of this, Ding Yuan shook his head, obviously not very optimistic about their future.

Lu Yiming sighed: "Yes, the civilians there are really bitter. The reason they have survived until now is that they are so lucky that they have not encountered much danger...... What a bunch of lucky guys. ”

On the South Wind's side, the biggest danger encountered this year was an oversized fish, which could be hundreds of meters long.

The big fish suddenly jumped out of the water, causing a tsunami that nearly capsized their boat......

That is, such a little external danger, it will be over and over.

"Xiao Lu, you still have too little knowledge, and there are very few societies like ours. Family-style management like the South Wind is the majority in a normal state of evolution. Ding Yuan said with a smile: "There are only a few people on the South Wind, controlling the army and controlling the guns, which is equivalent to controlling everyone, can civilians rebel?" ”

"Like some ancient civilizations wandering in the Yanghe River, it must also be a dictatorial management style, and it is unlikely to be a modern management like ours. But aren't they alive and well? “

Lu Yiming was stunned.

How many people can resist the temptation to be dictators?

Yunhai has come to the present step by step, which is a manifestation of the self-discipline of internal personnel.

"However, a civilization that is not strong enough will eventually perish, right?"

"Well, that's right."

In essence, the institutional system of the Yunhai is still biased towards socialism, and the vast majority of the means of production are publicly owned, belonging to all the people, and even the entire shelter is publicly owned. If one day in the future, Ding Yuan steps down, he can't take everything here, and it is impossible to say that the assets of the Yunhai are his alone.

But the South Wind is different, many of the assets of the South Wind are directly private, and most of the property is controlled by a few political families, and if you want them to spit out a little bit and let it benefit the people, it is simply their life.

That's the biggest difference.

For the Yunhai, after several major crises and internal corruption rectification, the cohesion has been quite high. When some emergencies occur, unanimity is a matter of a meeting, agreeing is agreeing, disagreeing, and then act as quickly as possible.

However, for the Asian League's Nanfeng, all kinds of trivial things can also be involved for a long time, and the interests of the six different political groups may not be consistent with the collective interests of all the people, so the efficiency is very low.

When we talk about the current system, even though there are still many things that need to be reformed, people are still quite confident and proud of it.
