Chapter 106: Where is the Kingdom?
Zhu Ping appeared there, naturally not walking.
Originally, he planned to compete and get some food, but after finding out the intention of the visitors from the Kingdom of Gaia, he gave up the idea of competing for food.
Pointless!
First of all, Zhu Ping really doesn't have much "free money" in his hands.
He needs to set aside some money to maintain the internal circulation within the "joint company", after all, the company has only been established for a short time, and forcibly promoting "paper money" or "vouchers" may have a counterproductive effect.
In addition, the joint factory also needs "general equivalents such as gold and silver" to procure necessities and communicate with the outside world.
If the funds of the joint company are not considered.
Even for the sake of kingdom-to-kingdom trade, in the long run, this time there should be no fighting.
The Kingdom of Gaia has obviously formed a routine of dumping, and this dumping is bound to succeed.
There is a next time after this deal.
The starting price of the next transaction will take into account the demand for this transaction.
Finally, it is also necessary to ensure that this nobleman who came with the ship will not appear on the land of Orlanton, and temporarily cover up the civil strife in Orlandon.
Zhu Ping did this in order to pave the way for international relations after the "great reunification."
……
Distance.
Zhu Ping looked at the people in the port, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and muttered: "If you invent the mortar now and help the port wash the ground, there will be no worries." ”
Anji's eyes flickered, and he suggested: "Otherwise, let's surround these two guys in the harbor now, let them have wings and can't escape, and then we can do whatever we want......"
"You think too simply, these two great nobles must have brought enough loyal elites with them, and they themselves are the magicians of Sequence 7, enough for them to escape back to the noble castle."
The old craftsman showed a look of contempt on the side, and spat lightly: "Stupid! ”
"Old fellow!"
"Stupid than a wolf!"
“……”
Zhu Ping ignored the bickering of the two and looked at the steamer in the harbor.
When the two viscounts paid, Gaia's side unloaded the cargo in a very advanced and convenient way, and a conveyor belt was removed from the steamship in the distance.
"Sometimes staying in Orlanton for a long time makes you associate it with the Middle Ages.
But Orlanton isn't the center of the world, it's just a corner of the world map.
Industry was developing in other areas, steamships, electric lights, and teleporters, and the nobles of Orlandon were still complacent that Orlandon could sell jewelry. ”
Then Zhu Ping retracted his gaze, beckoned the two to leave, and said casually: "Mr. Hurt, in the next period of time, you will be busy!" ”
……
Although Lin Zheng and Xiao Nong, who completed the transaction, were angry about being cheated of money, they were more happy in their hearts.
Originally, when they saw Hall appear here, they thought that it would cost more to buy the grain, but Hall took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.
From the perspective of these two big nobles, this kind of behavior is a symbol that Hall has no money in his hands and does not want to lose face, so he disguises his chic.
To celebrate the event, they held another banquet.
Don't think it's surprising, in fact, the daily "work" of the aristocracy is to attend large and small banquets, tea parties, and salons......
It's just that due to the recent changes in the situation, the nobles have hugged each other tighter, and it seems that this group of people is always gathering together for a meeting.
When Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng chatted with each other and "casually" told Zhu Ping's troubles, a group of elegant gentlemen laughed non-stop with decent expressions.
"Let this guy Hall treat money as money, and now he's suffering from it!"
"You can imagine how angry Hale was when he heard the price and found that he couldn't afford it, and how angry he was when he returned to the castle."
"Haha, you're not right, where did he come from!"
“……”
Lin Zheng had a habitual smirk on his face, lowering his head and admiring the wine, frowning from time to time, as if he was thinking.
At the banquet, a nobleman asked: "Two viscounts, I wonder if you can spread out a part of the grain you purchased, and trade some with us internally." ”
"Absolutely! We are unbreakable allies, so Sir Ben and Viscount Smallon are willing to contribute a whole ship's food together to tide you over. Lin Zheng responded with a smile.
At the same time, Xiao Nong, who had common interests with Lin Zheng, interjected: "Viscount Lin Zheng is reasonable, as long as we drag it out, we can rely on invisible forces to smooth out the turmoil in the trading market."
At that time, Hall will also have no money in his hands and will not be able to squander it, and eventually collapse. ”
The other nobles forced a smile on their faces to compliment the generosity of the two viscounts.
But they couldn't laugh in their hearts, because these two great nobles bought ten ships of grain, and only a tenth fell into their hands.
How could this tenth be enough for the dozens of nobles present?
Even so, these little nobles still complimented Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng as usual.
Among them, Lippi's horse was the loudest, and he laughed: "The two viscounts are simply so generous that people can't help but want to set you up as stone statues, and worship you in your home." ”
The aristocracy may seem strong, but in fact it is very weak.
They strike hard against beings who are weaker than them, and they are submissive in the face of beings who are stronger than them.
Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard to the extreme.
This is reflected not only in the attitude of these minor nobles towards the big nobles, but also in the attitude of the big nobles towards the foreign aristocracy.
was cheated of money without saying a word, and transferred the pressure to the little nobles.
These little nobles have long been clearly thought out by the two big nobles.
Are the big nobles worried about the rebellion of the small nobles?
In the past, they would have to worry about it, but now they don't.
The little nobles had no choice at all.
After Zhu Ping Hall blew up the palace, he declared that he would be enemies of all the nobles, and from that moment on, these minor nobles, even the nobles of the king's faction and Zhu Ping, were bound to be enemies.
Zhu Ping is fighting against his own strength and the entire kingdom, and he is bound to fail.
Lin Zheng picked up his wine glass, looked at the banquet hall where the nobles were talking and laughing, put down the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Even if Hall has any conspiracy, then he will inevitably fail, because he is the enemy of the whole of Orlandon." ”
……
In a temporary barracks.
Zhu Ping waved half a stiff stick of bread in his hand and instructed all employees who have artistic foundations such as wood carving and painting: "Yes! That's how the wood is cut into regular squares that are less than the size of a thumb, and the size and shape are absolutely consistent......"
Then, Zhu Ping said to the old craftsman: "You estimate how much paper it will take to put these movable type seals together, and I will let the paper raw material factory cut ......."
After this, Zhu Ping said to Lina and Nina, the two "painters": "Because ordinary people in Orlanton are not necessarily literate, so you two helped to record the mirror relief carvings of these billboards on the wooden board......"
“……”
Then after Zhu Ping sent these instructions, he stole half a day of leisure, stretched his waist, and sat on the wall very lazily.
He finally had time to stuff the baguette at hand with enough water to call it a weapon.
"Good evening, Boss!"
"Boss has worked hard!"
“……”
A group of patrol soldiers passed in front of Zhu Ping and greeted him, and Zhu Ping waved the hard stick in his hand, without any image of response.
He looked at the eyes of these soldiers full of fighting spirit and vitality, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "The whole kingdom is already standing with me, how can I be defeated?" ”
Where people are, there is a kingdom!
Where the human heart is, there is the way!
