Tehenaut Oasis, business has not been doing well lately. On the one hand, the large amount www.biquge.info of internal demand for munitions has made the kobolds' foreign trade goods much less - metal products have become less, and most of the brightly colored textiles have been digested internally.

Moreover, there are fewer caravans coming from afar. In addition to the large amount of panic created by Li Dewan, the new arrival of the Spanish beggars also made the locals nervous. Although North Africa and Europe have always had close economic trade, in the past few hundred years, the antagonism between the Star and Moon Religion and the Cross Religion has become more and more serious.

However, only the 'business representatives' are worried about this, and the traversers are generally not under much pressure.

What Liu Jingtian needs is ore and timber, the former is bound to the arms trade, and the more chaotic the situation, the more prosperous it is, while the latter can rely on pirates to import.

These unscrupulous bastards, unwilling to go to Northern Europe to import timber, turned their minds to robbery: in just a few months, they had already sold more than a dozen 'second-hand ships' to kobolds, including three three-masted ships of more than 300 tons - tattered and scarred.

No one can guess where these 'second-hand goods' come from.

With these advances, the traversers don't care much about the withered business.

Xu Ping'an, who is sitting in the oasis, is also focusing on the military:

"This Xiao Liu, it's so unreliable! How can you give the gun to an outsider? In case of a crusade, it's no joke...... But if you counterattack the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be better to recruit some European mercenaries?"

Perez had collected 1,500 crooked melons and cracked dates to maintain order in the market, and then he had 2,000 Spanish beggars, which together were a lot of strength. Then, the insidious Great Demon King pointed him to Switzerland, and the 3,500 troops were now in the hands of Xu Ping'an.

Xu Ping'an is very attentive to these people, for fear that the third watch in the middle of the night will be touched and cut by the 'rebels'. So I thought about how to be a qualified 'gang boss' all day long, and specially borrowed an instructor from Li Dewan.

He first reorganized the crooked melons and pears and dates into a chengguan brigade, with an explosion-proof fork, an explosion-proof shield, and a whistle for each person, and strengthened nutrition and practice queues every day, which looked a little different.

The Spanish beggars are also a similar routine, strengthen their nutrition and train properly, so that they do not have too much energy and cause chaos for themselves.

Although these veterans look miserable, their nutrition has kept up these days, and they are forced to get haircuts, take baths, brush their teeth and wash their faces every day, and they look much better.

In addition, the clothes of these 3,500 people were so messy that Xu Ping'an's Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder was all committed, so he simply sent them a full set of clothes - linen lining, plus shark skin suits!

The kobolds caught a lot of sharks to recruit the Dragonfangs, so they saved a lot of leather. This material is still very easy to make some light sharkskin robes and sharkskin shoes, although the protection is not very good, but it is very, very wear-resistant, and it is more suitable for these beggar soldiers.

The disadvantage is that the color of the shark skin is ugly, gray is not gray or white, everyone seems to have a cement bag as clothes, and a group of people are even uglier when they wear it like this.

Xu Ping'an could only laugh at himself: "Yes, you guys are the same as Mark Zuckerberg." ”

In addition to these traversers, Liu Jingtian didn't care about the others.

The operation idea of the Great Demon King is to bury himself in farming and accumulate troops, and then 'recklessly wave the stream', other details are not important, and the subordinate forces under his hands are directly 'herding management', and the big brain is so capricious.

The 'business representatives' are barely considered to be the subordinate forces of the Great Demon King.,But it's been a little unpleasant lately.。

Li Dewan was haunted in the mountains, plundering the population, and although he did not attack the passing caravans - he knew that these were all 'player' customers, and of course they would not mess around - but it also had a terrible effect, and many small tribes were now afraid to come.

With the arrival of the Spanish mercenaries, Marrakech is also desperately promoting the 'European threat theory', and business begins to decline. The trade of the oasis is becoming more and more depressed day by day.

The 'business representatives' who rely on commissions to eat are very unwilling. However, the business has been done for so long, and everyone's family foundation is getting thicker and thicker, and there are more problems to consider.

Antonio's family has been in the luxury jewelry business, and he has seen many big names in the world, and he has always been worried about one thing: "Partners, let's not discuss the next business, the profits have been very good in the past few months." I'm more concerned about one thing, will we be able to get both freedom and gold when our agreement expires?

Everybody is very square: You mean the boss will kill us in order to save wages? Don't tell such a scary story in broad daylight, okay?

Camacho: "This ...... I have an idea that as long as we are useful enough to the company, the company will be more cautious, for example, some businesses will be difficult to run without us......

Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. Isn't Perez running around becoming more and more important, and he can help the company bring a large number of mercenaries, and he will definitely be reused in the future.

These days, the old captain Garcia, who had been sullen, suddenly had an inspiration: "I thought about it! Business has not been good lately, and our importance has decreased! But if we can open up new markets, the bosses will naturally value us!"

Everyone shook their heads: "No, this can't be." ”

The reason is simple, everyone's most important trading partners are the local tribes, large and small. But they were all scared away by the 'cannibal oasis Hassan' and the Spanish mercenaries, and it seemed that they would not recover anytime soon - the greedy Tafilal clan would certainly not stop operating in the mountains, and Perez had already gone to Europe, and new European mercenaries would arrive next. It seems that the relationship between the two sides is irretrievable.

Although Agadir was occupied by the company for a year, the docks were ceded to the Kingdom of Portugal, which strictly controlled the quantity and pricing power of foreign trade, and everyone had no say in the docks.

So, where to look for emerging markets?

Captain Garcia: "It's simple, it's all because we don't have our own port. Wouldn't it be nice to occupy one in secret! The nearby port of Essaouuira is a good port, and even better, it doesn't belong to any power in name! This is our emerging market! Next, we can build our own trading fleet!"

There is one sentence, Garcia held back and didn't say: Only dead pirates are good pirates! I will avenge the dozens of innocent merchant ships that you hijacked!

Everyone was lost in thought: it seemed to make sense! And there was another chance: to make yourself irreplaceable!
