Chapter 83: Opening the Market
After the establishment of the National Merchant Bank, it officially opened the market of the Middle Earth Kingdom, plundered raw materials, and promoted goods in order to obtain high profits. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It can go so smoothly, on the one hand, the nobles of the Middle Earth Kingdom have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and on the other hand, Lin Xiao has put in a lot of effort.
He sells goods that are not available in Middleland, especially those luxury goods, such as paper, books, and pens.
The technology made by these Middle Earth Kingdoms is still immature and expensive, so they are naturally willing to choose a cheaper one.
In addition to these, simple mechanical watches are selling hot in aristocratic circles, a commodity they have never seen.
And there is a certain practicality, and more importantly, it is a symbol of status, and you are embarrassed to go out if you don't buy one.
Soap glass bicycles and so on have also been baked one after another, and they continue to plunder wealth in the Middle Kingdom.
This kind of hidden plunder is far stronger than war, after all, it costs money to fight, and defeat and blood loss may not necessarily be earned back.
Lin Xiao is still very confident in the military strength of the Tianhan Kingdom, but he is not warlike, why bother to do things that can be solved with money.
Through business, he made a lot of money, and at the same time, he also made the Kingdom of Middle-earth vigilant.
The goods they bought were easy to use, but they also paid a lot of price, which led to their development slowing down, after all, all the raw materials were sold, and they used something to build.
Not only that, the goods of the Heavenly Han Kingdom directly impacted the market of the Middle Earth Kingdom, causing many workshops to go bankrupt.
Fortunately, the gap has been filled, but the textile industry, etc., has been severely hit.
The clothes sold by the Tianhan Kingdom are not only comfortable and beautiful to wear, but the price is not high, and even civilians can afford it.
In this way, the clothes made by the local textile industry cannot be sold, and can only be sold at a loss, and one piece is sold at a loss.
In this case, it is difficult for them not to want to go out of business.
The aristocracy did not care whether they went out of business or not, but when these workshops went down, they had one less source of tax revenue, which they could not tolerate.
The nobles had no choice but to unite and reformulate the bill and establish the concept of tariffs, and the Tianhan Kingdom would have to pay high tariffs if they wanted to be here at the same time.
This makes the price of goods sold into the Kingdom of Middle-earth much higher, which is beyond the ability of many people, and they can only buy local goods.
In addition, the aristocracy had a strong hostility towards the Tianhan Kingdom, so they directly publicized it, and the whole people boycotted these goods.
The Tianhan National Commercial Bank, that is, the Tianhan Commercial Bank, naturally made a lot less money, and the speed of plundering resources was far less than at the beginning.
The Tianhan Kingdom could not eat so many goods made by itself, so it could only open up new markets.
The Kingdom of Oss has directly become Lin Xiao's target, as long as there are enough markets, even if each market does not eat much, it is acceptable.
However, what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that the Oss Kingdom had already set up tariffs, but their tariffs were not as high as those of the Middle Earth Kingdom.
There is no comprehensive boycott, and Lin Xiao can accept it.
Judging from the information obtained by the trading houses, the Kingdom of Oss actually had a lot of advanced goods, but they were not made by them, but by another country.
Lin Xiao had heard of it before, it was called the Gulf State, and they had already made a weapon like a firecracker, which should not be underestimated.
Judging from the goods they sell, the Gulf countries are likely to have completed the industrial revolution, if Lin Xiao was likely to be worried before, now he is not afraid.
Based on the guesses of those workers based on commodities, the current level of the Gulf countries is estimated to be about the same as that of Huangsha City, at most stronger, after all, Huangsha City is not the center of Lin Xiao's development, and basically does not give most of the investment.
It's okay to bully some of these backward ancient countries, if you meet the Tianhan Kingdom, a modern army is enough to level them!
After opening up a new market for the Oss Kingdom, the Tianhan Kingdom obtained a large amount of resources, all of which were transported back to Xiaozhou City by rail.
It's just that Huangsha City has come out with a lot of fine works, trying to find out where the Tianhan Kingdom came from along the railway.
Lin Xiao has long been on guard against this situation, and has set up many checkpoints on the railway, dispatched patrols, and arrested all suspicious people as long as they are found.
Under such heavy defenses, it is simply impossible to rely on meticulous reconnaissance of the location of the Tianhan Kingdom.
The city of Xiaozhou is also developing rapidly, and a powerful country wants to be established, but it has to eat a huge amount of resources.
There is no shortcut to this, otherwise this country is also a strong foreign power, and it will be broken at the first touch.
The development of Xiaozhou City has also led to Huangsha City, which is very poor because of the desert, and it is a place where the Kingdom of Zhongdi is catching up.
However, after being occupied by the Tianhan Kingdom, it continued to develop, and it could already be ranked in the forefront of the 6 provinces of the Middle Earth Kingdom.
It is the common people who can feel the biggest changes here, who were originally very resistant to becoming the lords of the Tianhan Kingdom, but now they have become proud.
The Heavenly Han Kingdom has also begun to support it, and coupled with the long-term infiltration of culture and public opinion in the Heavenly Han Kingdom, they will not hesitate to take weapons to fight the Zhongdi Kingdom.
After all, they don't have the concept of a state, and whoever defends their interests will naturally support whomever they want.
As a result, Huangsha City began to recruit soldiers again, increasing the original 1 army to 3 standing regiments, with a total of 30,000 soldiers.
In addition, 10,000 more soldiers will be recruited and replaced once a year, and as many soldiers as possible will be trained, and tens of thousands of soldiers can be quickly pulled up as long as necessary.
These Greys need training to go into battle, otherwise they can't be compared to clones at all.
You must know that clones are not afraid of death, even if an army fights to the last person, they will pick up the weapons in their hands and kill the enemy.
The Grey Soldiers, on the other hand, are not so brave and fearless, they will also be afraid, demoralized and even deserted.
Training becomes a very important thing, try to get them into battle without even holding a gun.
A good army, but it takes a long time to train, even if you are a veteran of the battlefield, don't expect them too much.
Those who can survive are all old fritters, it's okay to ask them to kill the enemy, let them die, and it is estimated that they will turn around and run away.
Trying to clone a soldier who is not afraid of death is a nightmare for these normal soldiers.
If possible, Lin Xiao naturally hoped to have such soldiers in his hands, but cloning soldiers requires energy points, and the accumulation is also a big expense.
Now is not the time for war, there is no need to clone too many soldiers at all, and the cloned workers can play their best role.
Anyway, you only need energy points, and you will soon be able to clone a group of soldiers, so you don't need to be in a hurry.
Moreover, the resources needed to train soldiers were very cheap for Lin Xiao, so why didn't he do it.
