“…… Tsk, is this Brit loved drug trafficking for generations! The Opium War scourged the Qing Dynasty back then, and now even his own motherland has been able to do it! Make so many marijuana smokers...... That's a ...... Alas......"

Seeing that all kinds of pipes, bongs and bongs have appeared in the market of Bath City, and the streets are full of smoke-hungry addicts, Lori Cai Rong, who saw this situation for the first time, was also stunned for a while - due to the climatic conditions, there was no tobacco in Britain at this time, and these smoking utensils could only be used to smoke the cold-tolerant marijuana that had just begun to be sown...... So I couldn't help but complain.

“…… Merlin and Arthur don't think it's drug trafficking. Wang Qiu pursed his lips a little disapprehantly, "...... The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has followed the example of the Netherlands by legalizing soft drugs such as marijuana and making them nationally marketed by the Government for profiteering from them, no different from the cigarette industry...... What's more, even without Merlin's marijuana, would the people of this era live a healthy life? Don't forget! The Romans themselves have been scourging themselves with all sorts of lead products! What use lead skin to make water pipes, take lead utensils to eat, sprinkle lead powder into cosmetics, wine and dishes, lest your blood lead level is not high enough! It's all the rhythm of death! ”

“…… That's right, it's the rhythm of infinite death. Senior Sister Ma Tong also nodded and agreed, "...... But marijuana is not a good thing, but in this dark Middle Ages of famine and turmoil, it was a terrible situation for Europeans. Smoking marijuana can be regarded as a kind of comfort to the miserable life. It's as if believing in Christianity can preserve the spark of civilization and save their hearts from falling into the wilderness like the Mayan civilization......"

“…… Co-authored according to the words. It seems that drug trafficking is justified? Cai Rong rolled her eyes.

“…… In a sense, it may still be so. Wang Qiu sighed, "...... In our traditional concept of education, we Chinese always think that we are the biggest victims of the drug epidemic in modern history, but in fact, in the era of the Republic of China, when tobacco was the best-selling in the country, the biggest drug lord in Quan Shijie was Du Yuesheng on the beach! I heard that if there are ten packs of 'white noodles' (sea. Login). Eight of them must have passed through his hands. I'm afraid that the word 'big drug lord' is not enough to summarize his power. Moreover, Du Yuesheng's drug trade is generally mainly exported, and most of the goods are shipped to France through smuggling channels. And then slowly sell it to all shijie. It can be regarded as another way of 'patriotism' to return the way to the other, and to send all these refined purer and more haode 'special goods' back to the land of opium dealers......"

“…… Other words. China in the Republic of China era. In the minds of Westerners, the image is equivalent to Afghanistan where poppies are blooming today, and Mexico where the war on drugs is fought? If that's the case, it's no wonder that there are so many anti-Chinese incidents......"

Cai Rong rolled her eyes again, "...... Alas, leaving aside these irrelevant matters for now, let's see what we have done now? Colonial plunder, intimidation by force, trading posts and concessions, dumping of industrial goods and drugs...... Isn't this a typical act of imperialist colonizers? ”

Wang Qiu was also silent about this -- under the patriotic education, he has been anti-imperialist and anti-colonialism for so many years. Zuihou has made himself the birthplace of imperialism and colonialism...... Fortunately, Cai Rong is relatively naïve. But he is never kind, so he just tells the truth, and he will not be like the heroes and heroines in Qiong Yao's novels who only know love and love, and do not eat the fireworks of the world, while boasting of being noble, benevolent, free, and equal, and denouncing the elders of landlords, warlords or capitalists, "You are so black-hearted, despicable and cruel", but on the other hand, you spend a lot of your family's "ill-gotten gains" with peace of mind, and think that you are squandering these "dirty money" to do good deeds for your elders.

In fact, it really needs her to kill innocents indiscriminately, for example, when the Eastern Roman Empire slaughtered the city with nuclear waste and bacteriological weapons, Cai Rong would not care how many women and children died because of it - all those who have a successful career are not decisive and blood-indebted.

Of course, this does not affect her to make a compassionate gesture and complain a little when she is indifferent.

“…… The beautiful natural environment and green and pollution-free natural food will soon be all gone under our toss......"

However, before she could finish her words, a riot broke out in front of her. A baker was arrested from the workshop by the soldiers on charges of mixing a large amount of gypsum and chalk into the bread - that is, chalk making stuff - and was followed by a number of bitter owners who had eaten a belly of chalk.

- Although the food supply in the Kingdom of Carmellot is abundant, the harvest is only potatoes, and the yield of wheat, barley and oats is still not high. Since the Celts had not yet figured out the jishu of grinding potatoes and baking them into bread, the very ordinary black bread was still considered a high-grade food in Bath City today - the poor people ate potatoes, the middle people ate black bread, and the upper class people naturally enjoyed all kinds of delicacies - so there was a bread workshop in the market, and then the black-hearted baker mixed a lot of chalk material into the bread in order to save materials......

It can be seen that even in the Middle Ages, when there was no industry, there was not always green and pollution-free healthy food.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

To get back to the point, although the use of the bazaar to buy furs from tribes from other tribes was one of the inputs of Wang Qiu's "shareholder representatives", the most important revenue items of the "Camelot Sino-foreign Joint Stock Company" were the lumber yards in the upper reaches of the Avon River and the silver mines in Mandipus.

In order to profit from this medieval kingdom, Arthur had to levy more than 5,000 strong laborers from his country and allies to carry axes, ropes, torches, and dry rations over the mountains and mountains to carry out large-scale logging in the mountains of the upper Avon River, and then tie the felled trees into wooden rafts. Drifting down the River Avon to Bath City, where they were carried ashore by long-awaited laborers.

Except for the season when the mountains are covered with heavy snow in winter. The logging team can provide Wang Qiu with about 30,000 to 50,000 cubic meters of timber every month, but unfortunately there are very few precious tree species, and the timber has not been fumigated, so the economic income is generally not more than 30 million yuan. The cost of clothing, shoes and socks, tools, food and other expenses of the logging team itself is around 5 million yuan, and then considering the military expenses consumed in order to suppress the mountain tribes, as well as various construction costs within the Camelot Kingdom...... The timber income from this sale is really a bit of a stuffing feeling.

“…… Thankfully, the nearly 2,000 vampire hunters weren't left behind. Otherwise, we'll be struggling to make ends meet! ”

Looking at the rafts slowly floating on the Avon River, and the coolies shouting the trumpet to drag the raft ashore with ropes. Wang Qiu said without worry.

-- Logging in the barren mountains and mountains of the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages was actually a very dangerous task, and in this era when there was no law and order, no one knew how many barbarians and beasts lurked in the dark forests. Therefore. Although Wang Qiu is already within the scope of funds. Warm clothing, food, and salt were provided as much as possible, but at least a dozen people died on the logging team every month.

As for the situation of the silver mines, it was even more miserable - Wang Qiu had seen clearly what the silver mines were like during several inspections, and felt as if he had been tortured by his conscience: there was almost no grass in the smoky valley, like a scar lying across the earth. Densely packed with ants, barefoot, draped in sacks, carrying heavy baskets. Pick the ore out of the ground. Anyone who dared to be lazy would be beaten by the overseers with a whip. He rolled all over the ground, covered in blood, and cried for mercy. Others, however, did not dare to stop at all, and could only carry huge baskets on their backs and move slowly in line...... Of course, as a black-hearted capitalist who has adapted to treating women as men and men as cattle, Wang Qiu is more concerned about their work efficiency.

“…… The silver mine in Mandipus has recently collapsed again! More than forty people died, and a few were crippled! There are not enough people to do the work! ”

Listening to a disgraced envoy's justification for the drastic reduction in silver mine production this month, Wang Qiu couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh - the labor bottleneck was like a mountain that could not be bypassed, always plaguing Arthur's mini-kingdom.

Modern Chinese have learned in junior high school that the amount of value is determined by the amount of socially necessary labor time required to produce the commodity. Something that has not been processed by human labor has no value even if it has use value for people. To explain here, no matter how much silver there is in the mine, it is useless if it can't be dug up. For example, the Welsh region, not far from Bath City, is rich in coal, and the famous Welsh anthracite, which was once the standard fuel of the Shijie Navy during the Sino-Japanese War, is now also a valuable chemical raw material.

According to the mineral maps preserved by modern Shijie, it is not difficult to explore ore veins in Wales in this time and space, but it is a pity that Wang Qiu has no manpower to use for coal mine development now, and the profit from coal is too small, so he can only abandon it - if no one digs up the coal and transports it out to sell it, then this pile of coal hidden in the ground has no value...... Therefore, labor is the first important factor of production.

However, Arthur's mini-kingdom had only such a large population, and the young and middle-aged labor force was even more scarce. The Serfs that the Celtic allies could provide were also limited, and requisitioning too much labor would cause the other Celtic kings to be extremely dissatisfied - after all, they could not afford to delay the cultivation of crops in order to cut down trees and mine - although the slave trade was legal in this era, the problem was the availability and transportation capacity: it was not easy to buy slaves in large quantities in remote and remote Britain, at least Wang Qiu had not seen a large slave caravan come to visit the Kingdom of Camelot.

On the east side of the island, there were some Celtic slaves under the Saxons, but for these barbarian warriors who liked to hunt and plunder, and regarded farming as a menial matter, some slaves were important agricultural laborers and could not be easily sold. Not to mention that during the spread of the plague before, these slaves, who had no food and clothing, lived in poverty, and were in weak health, had already died of many diseases, and there were not many left. On the territory of the Anglo-Saxons, there is already a lot of arable land because of the lack of labor. It had to be abandoned, which eventually led to food shortages and famine.

Faced with such a shortage of human resources in the face of labor shortages, the traversers wanted to learn from the wisdom of the Western colonizers. Relying on the lure of profits from the slave trade to provoke the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain to fight against each other in order to provide a steady supply of slave "goods", and by the way indirectly weaken the local resistance Shili, it will not work - the British province after the Great Plague is too empty and too sparsely populated, and the settlements are far apart from each other. The Anglo-Saxons, again, are not nomads, and even if they want to go to war on a large scale, the logistics will not be able to support it.

Therefore. Even if the Kingdom of Carmellot used the life-saving "miracle medicine" to trade, it had only bought more than 1,000 people from the Saxon and Celtic countries in the past few years, plus a small number of prisoners obtained from several skirmishes with the Angles, I am afraid that it could not make up for the population attrition caused by the mining disaster and the plague. So. In the absence of labour, the most critical factor of production. The exploitation of the island's natural resources has barely maintained the status quo – anthracite coal in Wales and gold in Northern Ireland have been left to the fore.

Watching the hundreds of laborers break up the wooden rafts that floated down the river and pile them up in the open space on the riverbank, Wang Qiu sighed and motioned for Arthur to take the wormhole out of his luggage, move it next to the piles of logs, and then activate his ability to teleport the wood that had been piled up these days in batches.

On the other hand. When the wormhole with a faint black mist rises, the mountains of logs on the bank of the river disappear in the blink of an eye. A Celtic child looked at the wormhole suspended in mid-air, bit his finger curiously, and asked, "...... What is that black thing in the sky? Grandfather? ”

“…… That's the gateway to paradise, kid! The gray-haired old druid stared at the wormhole and explained in words he could understand, "...... At the other end of the passage is the legendary Gensokyo Avalon, a beautiful land for elves, a happy land free from war, cold, and famine......"

――――――――――――――――――――――

PS: I almost vomited when I watched "Deep Love and Rain", the lethality of Qiong Yao's drama is so powerful, and a bunch of superb brain-dead people are so happy.

Look at what they have done: they fled from the Northeast to Shanghai with two aunts, but left the rest of the family and children in the Northeast to die, and then they didn't even miss it at all; Holding the cat and forcibly breaking into the hospital, using force to force the internist to treat the cat, but the person is obviously not a veterinarian; Abandon his fiancée in public at the engagement ceremony and pursue his fiancée's sister...... Just like that, you dare to say that you are so kind and great?! There is also the most hilarious line - Shuhuan said with a heavy expression: "The eight-year War of Resistance is about to begin" This He Shuhuan must be a traverser, right!

Most of the previous traversers were men and foreign women, and this time I am going to get a Chinese female traverser, which is the type in Jinjiang Wen.

Therefore, in the next volume, I may try to write about the Manchu literary and young female travelers who fled from the Northeast to Shanghai through the thirties of the Republic of China (Qing wear plus Republic of China wear), which can be collateral members of the Manchu imperial family, such as the descendants of a certain prince or something. In this way, it is not only a Qing woman, but also the style of the Republic of China, and the name is ready to write Aixin Jueluo. China, the Manchu name of one of my middle school female classmates. I wonder if any readers have any more suggestions?

The heroine's intended identity is the original abandoned wife of a wealthy family: the professor's husband who returned from studying abroad married a new-style wife in the city, but kicked the original partner (heroine) who served her in-laws and raised her younger siblings in her hometown, and the scumbag poet Xu Zhimo got a divorce, and she didn't even want her own daughter, and when the three eastern provinces fell, she didn't care about the life or death of her relatives in her hometown, and she refused to take her in when she came to the door - the specific character can refer to the best scumbag hero Mei Ruohong in "Water and Clouds", but it is a successful version. Then, here you can complain about Lu Xun, who may not have died at that time, he was in love with Xu Guangping, and at the same time lost an original wife in his hometown to serve his in-laws, Zuihou didn't even have a legacy, forcing the original wife surnamed Zhu to live without a life, and scolded a group of progressive young people who came to visit Lu Xun's former residence in embarrassment, "They all said that they wanted to save Lu Xun's relics, and they all said that they wanted to save Lu Xun's relics, and they all said that they wanted to save Lu Xun's relics!" I am also a relic of Lu Xun, who will save me! (Historical fact)

Before the fall of the Northeast, the Manchu heroine tried to escape to Guannei with her family in advance, but she had no choice but to be displaced all the way, and some people were confused by the puppet Manchukuo, thinking that they could revive the Eight Banners in the Northeast and have a good future, so they refused to leave. Zuihou only had his parents-in-law and brother-in-law fleeing to Shanghai, who knew that Shanghai was not very peaceful, the brother-in-law was kidnapped and torn up the ticket, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law were so angry that they couldn't afford to get sick, leaving only the heroine and her five-year-old daughter.

Then, when the mother and daughter were crying bitterly and at the same time YY in their hearts to seek true love, the wormhole and the chengguan appeared together......

Therefore, the location of the wormhole is the Shanghai Concession - should we write about the 128 Incident, or the Songhu Anti-Japanese War? Do you want to follow the example of the Paris Commune and make a Shanghai Commune? Well, it seems that the modern Japanese government can also print a large number of yen from that time and space, and give it to the empty gloves of the white wolf of the time-traveler. There is a small bird tour of the real white to come forward, not to mention any secret government files, it is estimated that even the emperor's holy decree can be obtained, anyway, it has no impact on this time and space.

In short, this is the story of a group of undisciplined traversers with 2,000 soldiers and horses and vampires, zombies, druids, and wizards who came to Shanghai in the Republic of China, and used the simplest and most brutal way to make the whole Shanghai jump, and made the romance drama an absurd and funny film.

Well, I wonder if modern shore-to-ship missiles can sink the battleships of the World War II era? How about sending vampires to infiltrate a battleship at night and gas it? (To be continued......)
