Volume 1 Chapter 20 of the Land of Summer Paving the Way
The road to peace seems to be after the war, there is no real peace in the world, everyone will have contradictions, contradictions are the source of war, Jiang Li also feels that peace cannot be said by just lip service, that is too utopian.
Throughout the ages, only the strong can lead the direction of the war, those who want to strengthen the country must first strengthen the fundamentals, the foundation of the country is the people, only the people live well, everyone will think about reproduction when they are full, the population base is up to have a source of soldiers, and the country of summer is backward, although the people are not hungry to death, but they are not rich, agricultural countries, relying on the sky to eat, this is a very risky thing, if there is no harvest, everyone will starve to death.
The people of Xia Zhiguo are somewhat similar to ancient China, heavy agriculture and light business, Xia Zhiguo people rarely do business, most of the merchants are foreigners, and Pan Sen also has some resistance to merchants, there are only two markets in the huge city of Anzhou, and there are few handicraftsmen, even the most basic pots and pans have to be imported, and the people of the country only grow enough food every year to make a living, and there is no extra spare money at all, which also leads to the slow economic development of Xia Zhiguo.
Although Jiang Li is not very knowledgeable, but there is some understanding in this area, the company he used to work in was engaged in import and export trade, if you want to develop the economy, he thinks that it is nothing more than two points, transportation and demand.
Although the country of Natsu is an agricultural country, it has developed rivers and ports, but due to the national policy of light commerce in the country of Natsu, there is not a lot of trade, and there are no goods to boast about in the country, except for rice and some tropical fruits, there are really no bright spots.
As for the first point that Jiang Li wants to do, it is to open the port and support trade, which is to solve the problem of transportation, but a rich place must have something that can be used for trade, and Jiang Li is also prepared for this.
......
......
Jiang Li came to the exchange in the West Market, Jiang Li has been here a few times, and the staff here also have an impression of him, they all say that acquaintances are easy to do, just a few words, Jiang Li came to Jin Yue's office, I have to say that Jin Yue's aunt is really shrewd, the two hundred magic cores that Jiang Li sold her at the beginning were all made into magic potions, some ordinary mages do not require much for the amount of magic potions, a bottle of potions can be used for at least a week, Jin Yue's potions are mixed with water, so that the output is also more, and the money to buy the magic core has also been returned。
Jiang Li smiled when he learned the news, since Lan Che woke up, the magic power in his body has been consumed less, and there is an automatic reply as before, ordinary magicians will have to rest for at least about three days if they don't drink magic potions, while Jiang Li can recover in about two hours.
Jin Yue pushed open the office door, the rouge foundation on her face was still smeared like a ghost, and the thick foundation couldn't cover her crow's feet eroded by the years.
"I wonder what you need this time?"
Jin Yue's bloated face was a little terrifying, and as soon as her smile opened, the fat on her face was piled up, and it seemed that she was eating very well.
"This time I came to partner with Boss Jin. ”
Jiang Li thought that the demand was the magic core in his hand and the magic potion made by Jin Yue, why didn't he find Jason? Jiang Li thought so, compared to Jason, Jin Yue had an exchange in his hand, and he must have a wide range of contacts, and he didn't have to worry about sales, as for what means she used, Jiang Li couldn't care about it, he just needed to use it as a trading commodity, and then promote Xia Zhiguo's trade plan.
"Oh, what good things does Master Jiang have again?"
Jin Yue squinted, as if he was interested.
Jiang Li smiled faintly, and just said: "It's still the magic core, but my margin boss cooperates with me, and the profit is not only the current market in Anzhou." ”
Listening to Jiang Li's words, Jin Yue's interest suddenly rose, it is very simple to negotiate with businessmen, as long as it is related to interests, it is the favorite of businessmen.
"I wish Lord Wen Jiang to come. ”
I saw Jiang Li say slowly: "Boss Jin's means, the magic potion must not only be sold in Anzhou City, other cities, other countries must also sell it, right?"
Jin Yue was a little frightened when she heard this, she didn't spread these things, she did export magic potions, there was nothing wrong with this, what was wrong was that she didn't have the right to use the port, so the magic potions exported by Jin Yue were all smuggled out, the reason why Jin Yue didn't choose land transportation but chose water transportation was that land transportation was too risky, the bandits and robbers along the way, as well as the monsters entrenched in the mountains and forests, could lose money if they were not careful, and water transportation was not only fast, but also very safe, and there were no large magic beasts in the river, but the port trade of the country of Xia needed to be applied, and it was quite difficult, so Jin Yue took the risk of smuggling and selling。
"I don't know... Where did you get the news? Jin Yue's voice trembled a little, after all, in Anzhou City, smuggling is a felony.
Jiang Li smiled faintly and said: "Where did I know, Boss Jin, you don't have to know, and you don't have to worry about me demolishing you, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you can ship from the port in the future." ”
Jin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, what Jiang Li told her was indeed very tempting, and Jin Yue was also very excited, but she couldn't guess what this young man wanted to do.
"I don't know what the adults need the slave family to do?" Jin Yue asked cautiously.
"It's simple, help me spread the word about magic potions everywhere. ”
Jin Yue was a little surprised, could it be that Jiang Li wanted to get a piece of the magic potion business with her?
Then Jiang Li said: "Don't worry, Boss Jin, I don't dare to be interested in your magic potion business, what I want to do is something bigger, I still have a thousand magic cores here, presumably Boss Jin also knows how many potions these magic cores can refine." ”
Jin Yue was even more surprised, with these thousand magic cores, there would be no shortage of magic potions for at least five years.
Jin Yue swallowed her saliva and nodded.
"Very good, my plan is to let you take over the business of magic potions, you only need to promote the potions around the mainland with peace of mind, and attract merchants, and I will make the rest of the potions, you just wait for the merchants to purchase them in the trading hall." ”
In the face of Jiang Li's plan, Jin Yue understood very well, but Xia Zhiguo's light commerce was well known, and he would never allow merchants from all over the world to come to Anzhou to trade, and besides, the waterway was not open to the outside world, so transportation was also a problem.
"Lord Jiang, although your plan is good, you must know that our Xia Zhiguo does not allow frequent trade with foreign countries, and besides, the port is not open to the public, which is known to the merchants. ”
I saw Jiang Li confidently said: "Don't worry, you just have to spread the whole world, and after ten days, I will naturally have a way to let merchants in, and I will also open the port to them." ”
Seeing that Jiang Li was so confident, Jin Yue didn't doubt it, after all, he was also a big man, and there were really not many people with thousands of demon cores.
"The slave family is respectful, it is better to obey the fate. ”
After seeing Jin Yue's agreement, Jiang Li also let go of his knot, this was only his first step, and then he thought about how to persuade Pan Sen to open the port to support trade.
......
......
After the preparations were done, Jiang Li also had some certainty, and his mood was naturally a little brisk, just urging the students to practice magic every day, after Jiang Li's touching speech, the students' enthusiasm for learning was also high, not only that, but the effect was still relatively significant, after a few days of training, the fireball that was only the size of an apple at the beginning, can now be the size of a watermelon.
In addition to the time in the research institute every day, Jiang Li's happiest time is the short lunch time at noon, since Jiang Li admitted in his heart that he has a crush on Pan Yang, the happiest time every day is to see Pan Yang, Jiang Li also sighed that love is really wonderful, just like what Dong Chou wrote in the song, "Love comes too fast like a tornado", although it is just unrequited love, but it is a very happy thing to be able to accompany the person you like.
Jiang Li even wanted to enjoy watching Pan Yang eat, eating every bite carefully, chewing slowly, and his demeanor was very elegant.
"What's wrong, why are you staring at me, do you have rice grains on your face?"
Pan Yang asked suspiciously, there was no unhappiness on his face.
"Hehehehehehe, no, you keep eating. Jiang Li said with a smile, but the laughter was a little strange, which made Pan Yang a little hairy.
Pan Yang also found that Jiang Li often stared at her in a daze recently, and sometimes smirked, Pan Yang was not disgusted with Jiang Li, and he did not reject smirking at her, but he no longer had the same nervousness in his heart when he first saw Jiang Li, and what changed was the steadfastness in his heart, a sense of peace of mind, calm and peaceful.
And in the eyes of Lorna and Leben, nothing has changed, the owner is still the melancholy handsome guy who sometimes looks at the blue sky seriously, sometimes reckless, and childish old children, and Pan Yang is still the beautiful princess who comes to the courtyard on time every day and is gentle and elegant.
They couldn't see anything, but Jessica noticed the changes in Jiang Li, not only came to work on time every day, but also answered the students' questions perfectly, and the most important thing was that the temperament also seemed to have changed, no longer like Jiang Li, who was lazy and lazy every day, except for looking at the sky in a daze every day, the whole person had changed from the inside out.
But Jiang Li himself did not have this kind of consciousness, he still lived a leisurely life every day, and he did not discuss with Pan Sen about the matters he had discussed with Jin Yue before.
Since Jiang Li showed that he cooperated with Jin Yue, Jason's performance was a bit like an angry little daughter-in-law, Jiang Li looked at Jason's resentful little eyes and wanted to laugh, originally just teasing him, but he didn't expect to be really angry, Jiang Li had to hand over a thousand magic cores to him to refine the potion, although the dividend was only one percent, but Jason was still so happy that he exploded, although it was not reflected, but he was happy, looking at the change in his attitude Jiang Li knew that when Jiang Li and Jin Yue discussed, he didn't hand over the matter of making potions to Jin Yue, and he planned to hand it over to Jason at the beginning, but looking at his funny appearance, Jiang Li couldn't help but tease him。
Seeing that the day of the ten-day appointment with Jin Yue was approaching, Jiang Li decided to go to Pan Sen to discuss the matter of trade, although he might be refused, Jiang Li seemed to be a little confident, as if he had already decided that Pan Sen would definitely agree.
