Hana Baiye has known that she is a princess since she was a child, and she has always been called a princess by her side. For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wèn. It wasn't until she was trafficked for the first time at the age of four that she fully understood that she was a slave besides a princess.
After so many years of the White Night Country's demise, Yi'er sent his men to the south to look for the old man of the White Night, and all he found were some liars, dreamers, and speculators, and there was no one who could use them.
Restoration is no different from doing business, at least in Il's opinion. Businessmen pay attention to their interests, how to meet their own interests, where and who to get benefits. Thinking about these things is as easy and natural as breathing for a businessman, and the better businessmen will study trickery on top of it, and the stronger ones will manage their forces and cultivate opponents and enemies for their competitors in order to achieve the purpose of counterbalance.
Although monopoly is the most profitable business, the Kou Chi family is quite opposed to this kind of thing, because the benefits brought by monopoly are easy to attract people's attention and criticism. Therefore, for three generations, Kou Chi has been cultivating opponents for itself in various industries to achieve the form of competing in the industry. The opponent cultivated is always stronger than the one that suddenly appeared, and the two families can also suppress the newly emerging capital and power, and the Kou Chi family has today's wealth by relying on this means.
Of course, there are exceptions. Kou Chi Trading Company is involved in a wide range of industries, and one or two of them inevitably belong to a monopoly position, and there are always some interests that cannot be given up, and Kou Chi is only a merchant family after all. This industry, which is monopolized by them, is called the transportation industry.
In the White Moon Country, almost all the large-scale transportation channels are controlled by the White Night Country, and all the ships and carriages are manufactured and leased, and even the horse breeding and boatmen training are operated by the Kou Chi Trading Company. However, the benefits of monopoly soon turned some eyebrows. For example, the White Moon Royal Family.
When Yi'er's father had just taken over the family business, it was the time when the Baiyue royal clan suppressed the Kou Chi family the most severely, and there were faint signs of wanting to use force to eliminate the Kou Chi family and take over the wealth. How can we get out of this situation? President Kou Chi was not the most brilliant person at that time, but he knew some truths and means of checks and balances.
The White Moon Royal Clan is not a monolith, but an interest group. As long as it's a group. It is destined that there will be differences among them, and perhaps in a certain area they can be together, because their interests are the same, but as long as they find a place where their interests conflict with each other, they can disintegrate from it.
As a result, President Kou Chi carried out a complex and long-term deception, the process of which is too cumbersome to retell. Judging by the results alone, he succeeded. The White Moon Royal Clan and even the royal court were all infected with the vice of vanity and luxury under his temptation. Members of the royal family sometimes spend tens of thousands of full moons to buy a pot of flowers of rare color, and when he holds the pot to show off to his friends, his noble friends will spend more money to find rarer flowers under the manipulation of jealousy and vanity.
President Kou Chi put a lot of thought into it. Only then did the nobles' sense of honor be distorted into vanity and jealousy, and the nobles became greedy and extravagant, and began to raise taxes and levy arbitrarily in their own territories. Soon, the nobles found themselves in debt, and after a few more years, these debts could no longer be repaid. And the owner of these debts is none other than Kou Chi Trading Company.
For a long time. The Kou Chi Trading Company relied on lending money to the nobles, allowing for a little respite. In order to continue their luxurious life, the nobles regarded the Kou Chi Trading Company as a great benefactor. It's a pity that when the nobles became insolvent, the creditors changed from benefactors to devils, and gradually all the nobles hated to see the figure of the Kou Chi Trading Company, because it would be when he remembered that he was a debtor.
During the time when the nobles regarded him as a benefactor, President Kochi has been befriending the royal family of the forest. It's also a long process, with a dirty and shady approach and a disgraceful purpose. President Kou Chi felt that the White Moon Royal Family was too comfortable to worry about his property. It was clear that he needed a war.
Only in times of war are the great merchants who are able to transport goods between the north and the south be the safest. If something happens to Kou Chi's family, then Bai Yueguo will have a bad business route for a few years.
At the same time, President Kou Chi instigated the White Moon royal family to collect war taxes, successfully turning them from hating war to loving war. Kou Chi Trading Company is the world's first businessman. Because of this war tax, a lot of profits were lost, and a lot of debts were forgiven. Taken together, these are about one-fifth of the benefits of their own monopoly on trade transportation.
Il had been doing similar things since his father's death, and because the situation on the Mori no Kuni side was a bit bad and he was war-weary, he actively supported the independence of Duke Lantern.
The Duke of Lantern had been receiving funding from the Trading Company in the early days of his father's business, in order to become independent. Il's father was just leaving a way out for himself at that time, in case the White Moon Royal Clan tore his face with his own family, he could also scatter all his family wealth and form a soldier to use the Lantern Region to fight against the White Moon Royal Clan. At that time, the defeated army city was not included in the White Moon Kingdom, and the lantern area belonged to the border city, which was suitable for this kind of thing.
With the defeat of the Mori no Kuni in the early wars and the capture of the Castle, the independence of the Lantern Clan was suppressed by the Kochi Trading Company. The Duke of Lantern suddenly found that his quest for independence had become impossible to carry out, and he ran into walls at every turn, and it continued slowly until today, which was only hindered by the Kou Chi Trading Company.
Originally, the Lantern area was supposed to be independent, and the defeated city should have fallen back into the hands of the forest country. Today's forest country is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers because of the continuous war. After all, mountain dwellers are much more difficult to find than farming farmers, and many Orion villages often hide in the mountains with no one in order to avoid military service.
Things change when Il meets his wife, Hana, and promises to restore her to her country. He is tired of the so-called checks and balances, and he also begins to hate being a businessman, he wants to fulfill his promise to his little wife, and wants to use all his strength to please her cute.
For the restoration of the White Night Country, land is a big problem, and if you want to solve this problem, of course, you have to go to the White Moon Country to settle accounts, and Il can not look down on the mountains, forests and hills of the Forest Country. Only when the White Moon Kingdom is completely destroyed or weakened to the point of being slaughtered by others, will Yir grab land on it, otherwise it will not be a joke to be attacked by it.
If the Lantern region becomes independent according to the original plan, then the White Night Country will be hit hard, but the war will be over. The Lantern Region will become a barrier between the White Moon Country and the Forest Country, and the Forest Country will no longer send troops to attack, and the White Moon Country will also accumulate strength to seize the Lantern Area.
Although Kou Chi Trading Company has money, it cannot be quickly converted into combat power, so he needs the war to continue, leaving the White Moon Kingdom in the mire until the muddy water is over his nose and unable to return to the sky. In order to achieve this, the lantern area cannot be independent.
With this in mind, Il could only apologize to the Duke of Lantern and his family, and asked the Lloyds to send a multiple-choice question. After the Duke of Lantern chose the wrong answer, Ilr instigated the six nobles of the debt-ridden Lantern region to destroy them under his own scheme, leaving only a puppet girl Highway Il to maintain stability in the Lantern area.
For the sake of women being enemies of the world, and for women to conquer the world, Il sometimes thinks about whether his approach is a little too crazy when he gets up early in the morning and has nothing to do? He wants to give all his fortune, including his property, mind, and life, to this lovely little wife, just so that she will no longer tremble and feel inferior in her future life, and be as confident and powerful as other princesses on the mainland!
