Chapter 370 Contracts

The boat is full of animal tendons, animal skins, straight wood, beans and wheat, hemp rope, and salty ròu...... On the eve of the war, almost all of the supplies sent to Mara City through the Xijiang River were military supplies. Compared with previous years, Xijiang Water Village has promoted the flow of goods in Mara City, so that more ships have come to sell arms.

In addition to these raw materials, there were ballistas, double or even triple armor, helmets embellished with metal plates, knights' spears of 6 or 30 meters, saddles ranging from one-man to 30-ton saddles for transporting animals, and knightly monolithic bows of 8 meters, and small long-handled trebuchets - typical of early experimental chemical warfare used to issue alchemical medicines.

Before the Temple War, even the medicines were transported in large ships tens of meters long. With the transportation capacity of the Middle Ages, such a temple war consumed as much material as a crusade, and it is no wonder that the city of Mara did not have its own shipping industry, but was still built on the waterside of the West River.

Thinking of the hundreds of city-states in the entire Fire Dragon Temple, the Water Dragon Temple on the other side also has considerable strength, and the wealth of the Western Continent can be seen.

Even Dai Adi, who had been to the dock countless times, was full of vigor by the prosperity before the war. He couldn't help but think that even if he came to manage this dock, it would be a big féi.

He was thinking about it, when his hand suddenly sank, but it was Damas who secretly put a bag of snail shells in his hand and whispered: "Please also ask Your Excellency Ah Di to take care of it, Mara City has given up the idea of continuing to fight, and now his mind is all about the temple war." ”

"Oh, this one, I really can't take it." Dai Adi actually wanted to take it, if it was on Earth, he would definitely take it. However, the earthlings of the West Continent carry out a score supply system, that is, they give points on a monthly basis based on several versions of evaluations, and the scores are the transaction currency. As for the snail shells and copper coins, they are only subordinate auxiliary coins, and if anyone accumulates too much, they will be recovered, and the real salary is RMB, which is accumulated in their earth account, and can be distributed to their families on a monthly basis. In this case, accepting bribes for nothing is really accepting bribes for nothing.

This is also because earthlings and indigenous soldiers are subject to different laws, and if the latter takes bribes, the punishment is very strict, and it will directly affect the rating of the people around him, and the use of technological equipment such as cameras makes this kind of behavior almost extinct.

Damas, who was very unaccustomed to putting away his money bag. After he came to Xijiang Walled City, what he didn't like the most was the behavior of these guys not collecting money - if a nobleman didn't have the right to reward people, couldn't make the people around him happy, and couldn't use rewards to widen the gap, then how could he get superhuman treatment?

In his eyes, this is the most rebellious place in the Xijiang Walled City. In a way that does not allow rewards, the gap between nobles and commoners is leveled. Like the little boy who bought the information booklet, he probably never received a reward, and he didn't even know how to bow to the nobles.

Dai Adi did not accept the gift, and Damas could only express his respect in a more respectful manner.

After visiting the civilian docks, Damas's entourage, a certain temple official, asked softly, "Excuse me, what are the requirements for the release of these ships?" ”

"Release? Why release? ”

"But...... After all, these are for the temple troops, and they are weapons for the temple war, you ...... Didn't you say earlier that you just overcharged taxes? "The temple officials were in a hurry.

Dai Adi was puzzled and said, "Of course." We will not stop the navigation of these ships, nor will we care about their destination, so there is no such thing as letting them go......"

The temple official was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly said, "That's good, that's good." We continue to look and continue to visit ......"

Dai Adi smiled and led everyone to continue the visit.

The temple officials stood behind, ashamed of their cowardice. With the dignity of a temple and a dignified city-state, it was forced to come here by an unknown small city.

"The day the Temple War ends, it's time for you to die." He swore secretly.

At the same time, the Muse is also on a mission to find evidence of the existence or non-existence of the "Temple Knights" in Xijiang City. Both the Senate and the Presiding Priest wondered if one or more of the Temple Knights had been involved in the previous assault - and if not, how the damage to the walls had been caused; If so, is it that Xijiang Water Village has a temple knight, or that Xijiang Water Village has invited a temple knight.

Either outcome, it has the potential to change political attitudes in Malla City.

The muse searched for two days in the Xijiang Walled City, and then went out of the city for three days.

For four days, he received nothing, but Mara City could not stand the endless wait and ordered Damas to conclude the treaty.

There were hundreds or thousands of city-states and temples in the Western Continent, and their relations were almost always maintained by contracts, which represented the interests of all city-states and were therefore protected by public rights.

The gentlemen of Mara City believe in the contract, and since they believe it, Li Changning is willing to believe it.

Of course, under such a strong situation, with such an urgent desire to make meritorious contributions, he would never sign a treaty of equality.

Three days later, when Chen Yi returned with more supplies, Li Changning also got what he wanted - the "West Malaysia Contract".

As the beginning of various unequal treaties, the Treaty of West Malaysia was still cloaked in goodness, and did not deeply involve the interests of temples and city-states. As such, it was a thoroughly commercial treaty, though the bitter nobles were reluctant to mention it.

In the diamond-shaped conference hall, Li Changning sat in the lower right corner of the table, holding a negotiation book, and read out: "The ownership of the rubber forest in the Mara city-state belongs to the Xijiang Water Village, and if a rubber tree is in the manor where the ownership has been determined, the estate has the obligation to provide convenience to help the Xijiang City Walled City transplant the tree or use it." The Mara city-state has banned the sī trade in rubber trees with immediate effect, and any cutting down of rubber trees is illegal, but the city of Mara is obliged to facilitate anyone who traffics rubber rubber, even if he is from another city-state. ”

This alone has to make countless aristocratic manor owners scold their mothers, especially when it is broadly undefined, Xijiang Water Village can recklessly settle in a manor with only a rubber tree.

Li Changning explained this quite proudly, and said with a smile: "We originally wanted to add the latter sentence as 'even if he is from other city-states and temples', but the Senate said that they could not cross the temple to sign an agreement related to the temple, so we gave up. ”

"So, they're going to protect us from tapping?" This is Chen Yi's first concern.

"There is no problem with 40,000 hectares of rubber forests with an annual output of 60,000 tons." Yu Weichao replied with a smile. This is a significant victory for the entire Xijiang Water Village. As a large group or even a city, a windfall of several hundred million yuan is nothing, because there will be an unexpected loss, and in the long run, the two are comparable. The most important thing is the continuous return, 60,000 tons of natural rubber, which means an annual income of 1.2 billion yuan, with the development of hundreds of people in the Wuguan District so far, giving such a report card, he can also tǐng from xiōng 脯.

Li Changning waited for a while, and seeing that Chen Yi did not speak, he continued: "Mara City has agreed not to repair the city wall that has been damaged so far, and to clean up the wreckage to facilitate passage. In addition, they returned all our shells and bullets. ”

She Lei exclaimed, "That's a lot of money." ”

"There are tons of ammunition, I want the logistics department to give the number." Li Changning looked at Jin Doona and explained: "Some of the ammunition has been picked up, in fact, it is very much, and they asked us to give a number, and the missing part is made up with copper coins." ”

"Is this a disguised reparation?" Kim Doona's eyes lit up and asked, "What's the bottom line?" ”

"350,000 copper coins."

"Not bad." Chen Yi's approval made Li Changning inexplicably excited, and what he wanted was such an answer. As the first group of people to come to the Western Continent, he hopes to keep his current position, so he needs Chen Yi's support, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Li Feng, who was sitting opposite, took advantage of the gap and asked, "How long is the damaged wall of Mara City, and can we build a road to enter it?" ”

"The road has to be 500 meters away from Mara City, and the road within 500 meters has to be demolished." Li Changning was a little reluctant to talk about the concessions he had made, although they were insignificant, but he was worried that his concessions would become a crime when the situation in Shuizhai was very good.

Li Changning quickly brought the topic back to the topic, saying: "It is up to us to decide how long the city wall will be damaged, and at present, there is no problem in demolishing all the city walls on the east side." ”

"That's good." Li Fengyan said insincerely.

Yu Weichao caught a glimpse of Chen Yi's interest, and at this time took out the information from the Policy Research Office and said: "We estimate that in the next three months, there will be rubber sent to the wharf." The price we give is very yòu people, especially the various tax exemption policies, which will definitely make the merchants desperately ship rubber to us. ”

"Well, how's the mineral search?"

"With a bit of a frown, we found the ore chips in the lake, the hún ore of the platinum and silver mines, well, according to the feedback from the ore grains......"

Yu Weichao and the others would put the things that needed to be mailed into the mailing package, and then load them into special boxes, and after sending them to the earth, they would be disassembled and inspected by Su Yuan and others from the Archives Research Office in the martial arts hall, and finally sent to the post office. The whole process is integrated into the family letter, so Chen Yi doesn't care what exactly they are mailing.

As long as it meets the specifications.

"The Mara city-state is willing to hand over two-thirds of its military supplies to the Xijiang Walled City at the highest price for purchase...... Li Changning read out the negotiation agreement again, showing a professional appearance for a moment.

Chen Yi's hand was on the table, just listening quietly.

Outside the window, the leaves of some trees began to wither, and the leaves of the wild paulownia trees the size of a man fell on the street, testing the muscles of the cleaners.

Even in this hot continent, there are always some plants that cut back on expenses.

"Pioneering spirit!" Chen Yi suddenly understood how those Europeans who stood on the New World of America, and those Russians who stood on the land of Central Asia and Northeast China, burst out with great ambition.

In his opinion, Jiangning and the Western Continent are so different and the same. There are many differences, but the only thing in common is that "it's all mine." ”

I don't know if this pride and ambition is a problem, but when Chen Yi walked up to the subway with some animals used for research, the second layer of this thing actually lit up again.

It devoured half of the animals, including a young transporter, like a hungry snake. In return, Chen Yi was able to expand the range of the light curtain by 100% again.

Compared with the latter, Chen Yi cares more about the former.

This thing seems to really care about genetic completion.

"It's a pity that the earth's technology is not advanced enough." Chen Yi thought to himself: "Otherwise, it is possible to clone a set of subways, just like cloning a group of earth dragons...... Well, if the subway could clone like the Earth Dragon, and the Earth Dragon could be cloned like Dolly. ”
