Quit smoking: "it! ”

Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "The dog plan is giving out benefits again!" I'm so angry, why don't you send helmets, I've been making an appointment for a year! ”

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "Damn, I'm crying with envy." T.T”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "What are you envious of without a helmet." (Funny)"

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "I just cry without a helmet!" When you're having fun, I'll play with a hammer when I go in! T.T”

Night Ten: "(Funny)"

Edge paddling: "Ten Billion Xilan Coins...... Is this witch crazy? They themselves were poor and swam in the Yongliu River. (Khan)"

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Then you are too small, you have property rights to define poverty and wealth, and livestock does not have this concept." (squint)"

Fang Chang: "Indeed, but I still haven't figured out what the meaning of them is doing this, even if there are so many unsalable goods that they can't put them down, finding a place to fall is more immediate than making a big turn...... Besides, they weren't that rich. ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "You still don't try to understand the logic of the third brother of the wasteland, it is better to analyze what the impact is." (squint)"

Fang Chang: "Hmm...... There is nothing to analyze this, as long as the South China Sea Alliance is not stupid, it will definitely find a way to exchange the Xilan coins that were picked up for nothing for the first time to cash out more value-preserving varieties, such as selling the Xilan coins to buy silver coins, which is good for the banks that provide foreign exchange business? After all, you can take the opportunity to drink soup. ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Got it! Goblin Bank is open! ”

Tail: "(Copying homework.jpg)"

Edge paddling: "it!" So fast! ”

Fang Chang: "...... In addition to the banking sector, the short-term risk of driving up commodity prices in the coastal areas of Borneo province, especially those priced in the western lan. For example, soybeans, cotton, sugar cane, flax and the like may be negative for the primary manufacturing industries such as oil extraction, textiles, and sugar refining in the Golden Gallen Port. After all, they have to pay more for raw materials, and the debuff will eventually be reflected in the profits of the manufacturing industry. However, in the long run, it is not a good thing. ”

Tail: "Oh! Raw materials are expensive, profits are declining, this is easy to understand...... Well, but why is it good in the long run? ”

Fang Chang: "Because most of the NPCs in this game are as smart as real people, not the kind of dull wooden people in ordinary RPGs." On the surface, Wu Tuo has opened a large amount of money in the southern seas, but in fact, it is the survivors of the thirteen states who pay the bill. It doesn't matter if it's Niuzhou, Mazhou, etc., the interests of the nobles are the same as the emperor, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it, but Huzhou, Leopard Prefecture, these warlords and towns may not be, and their reliance is no longer on the imperial power but on the barrel of a gun. ”

Siss: "In the long run, local powers will issue their own currency, or look for other equivalent items that are more valuable...... For example, gallons or silver coins. Is that right? ”

Fang Chang: "Clever! (thumb)"

Quit smoking: ", I don't understand at all!" (Confused)"

Tail: "Whoa! Worthy of the ...... giao！ The tail didn't understand either! (ó﹏ò)”

Siss: "Give up, Ah Wei, if you really can't do it, you can understand it...... Our esteemed planner has thrown a lot of money around, and I'll pick it up for you. ”

Roshan Big Bun: "Damn...... The feeling was suppressed. T.T”

Sigh sesame paste: "Ahaha...... Ha ha. ”

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Actually, there is another effect, the rise in raw materials will stimulate the nobility of the imperial provinces to accelerate the annexation of the lands of the freedmen in order to expand production...... Damn, this is so illogical, how can anyone stab himself with a knife? ”

Fang Chang: "Actually, there is nothing illogical, maybe it's just the time." (Dog's Head)"

Of course, Baiyue Company also has part of the responsibility.

After all, this would have been a gentle and slow process, requiring more than a dozen or even dozens of generations to push without external interference, but the arrival of players has put all this on the ground.

From the first gunshot in Port Goldgallen to shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Army, to the first seeds planted in Port Fries that grew strong rhizomes and flowers.

Everything is on the road to the madness that can't stop......

……

"Borrow you? Hahahaha! Don't even think about it! No, in your words, there are no doors! Hahaha! ”

Adhesive Community Building.

By chance, he bumped into Duke Galava in the corridor, who had just finished a meeting, Cheng Yan stepped forward with a smile on his face and exchanged a few words with him, and then explained what Chu Guang had ordered.

Although he didn't really want to deal with this duke, out of respect for Chu Guang himself, he still worked on this matter with a spirit of twelve points.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Duke of Galava not only misunderstood his enthusiasm, but even put on a "you have today" expression in joy, and then rejected with an arrogant face.

Appreciating the "deflated" expression on Cheng Yan's face, Duke Garava had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, not to mention how cool it was in his heart.

Yo, isn't this the stupid foreign minister of the Union? Why do you want food here in the Empire? Doesn't this low-brow look like you?

Of course, if he sincerely knelt down and begged him, he would not be able to think about it with great compassion.

Anyway, how many Xilan coins are printed is a matter of His Majesty's lips.

Looking at this guy's villainous appearance, Cheng Yan's brows twitched fiercely, but he still restrained the temper in his heart.

After all, this is a public place, and you can't bite back on your stomach if you are bitten by a dog.

The honorable Mr. Administrator asked him to do his best, but he didn't say that he lost the dignity of the alliance, and since the empire had this attitude, there was no need to force it.

"Okay."

Throwing the words down lightly, he bypassed the smug Galava and walked towards the other end of the hallway.

Looking at Cheng Yan, who walked away by himself, Galava suddenly couldn't fix it, and his arrogant expression froze on his face for a while.

What's that?

Don't you want to work hard anymore?

It's not that he doesn't borrow.

And if you can be a creditor of the alliance, it will be a good thing for the empire.

"Wait ......"

He stretched out his hand to shout and wait, but saw that the figure had disappeared from the other end of the corridor, and immediately took his hand back in anger.

"I don't know what to do!"

Galava scolded indignantly, shook off his cuffs, and walked away from this place of right and wrong.

Looking at the Duke of Galava, who turned to leave, the envoys who had just come out of the conference room exchanged glances and couldn't help but tease.

"Is that guy here for diplomacy or is he here to break off friendships?"

"Hell knows, Xilan's."

"I never understood how this thing got in."

"Then you'll have to ask the Willants, they pulled it in."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Bennott did not speak, just waiting for the Duke of Galava to go a little farther before going out of the conference room.

It was true that he pulled it in, but he didn't expect this person to pull his crotch to this.

The representative of the enterprise saw Benott's expression full of black lines, and teased without opening the pot.

"Your allies?"

"Get out."

Bennault glared back at the representative of the company, who was not angry, laughed and left, leaving Bennault alone to gnash his teeth.

For the parties in the community, the friction in the corridor was only a minor episode and did not affect the course of the subsequent meeting.

After all, Duke Galava's joke is not bad, and everyone is no wonder about his stable performance.

When he became normal one day, or when the Xilan Empire suddenly woke up and changed to a normal person, it was worth pondering.

After the day's work was over, Cheng Yan reported the news to Chu Guang, and Chu Guang didn't say anything after hearing it, just sighed with a little regret.

"It's a pity, they're smart this time."

The alliance is no longer the alliance it used to be, and it is a bit difficult to use the old way to gather wool.

Think about it too.

With the current size of the alliance a year ago, I'm afraid that even if the stupid Lord Sid wants to lend them money, he will have to weigh whether he can get it back.

This wool is still let the trumpet of the South China Sea Alliance go to the well.

Looking at Chu Guang with an emotional face, Cheng Yan coughed lightly with a subtle expression.

"You may be mistaken...... Maybe that Galava didn't think much of it, and just hit the ground right on the ground to avoid the hole you dug for him. I'm sure every word he said at the time didn't go through his brain. ”

Amused by this statement, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Don't say that...... Also, don't ever underestimate your opponents, although they have taken some detours now, they can't say for sure in the future, maybe they can do something earth-shattering. At least in my opinion, the survivors of the wasteland have that potential. ”

Although he had no doubt about what Mr. Manager said, it was helpless that Cheng Yan had dealt with the people of the Xilan Empire for so long, and he was stunned that he had not established a good impression at all, so he could only sigh lightly and say.

"Maybe."

……

At the same time that Cheng Yan was reporting to Chu Guang, another duke of the empire, Nehak, was getting drunk at the most luxurious North Island Hotel in the North Island.

Like North Island Heavy Industries, the North Island Hotel is also Charas' legacy. Although the civil war is not over yet, the guy is already fantasizing about a post-war order, and this hotel is intended to host guests from the various survivor forces.

The asset was auctioned off by the Asset Inventory Board a month ago, and was later bought by a travel company registered in the crater, and it was reopened.

In the most luxurious hotel in the North Island, and with the personal accompaniment of General Li Minghui, the war hero of the South China Sea Alliance, Nehak naturally drank well.

But as soon as the man floated, his mouth also shook.

“…… With General Lee's bravery, it would be a pity not to be president for a few more years. ”

Li Minghui was startled by these words, and hurriedly said.

"Let's drink and drink, don't say this kind of thing."

Seeing Li Minghui's nervous expression, Duke Nehak smiled and said.

"I know, it's all because of the alliance, right? If you don't say it, don't say it, come, I'll toast you! ”

Looking at those scheming little eyes, Li Minghui sighed secretly in his heart.

Here's how this guy did it.

obviously doesn't understand anything, but he can make a look that sees through everything, and then he thinks that others can't see his little tricks.

However, he did not debunk the duke, but sighed "with suffering" and said a few words according to the latter's meaning.

“…… We're in a different situation than yours, and people here are very careful, and they don't know how to be grateful at all, and when they use me, they call me a general, and when they see Charas coming, they hide behind my ass, and when they don't need me anymore, they start burying me again, and they want to bury me and Charas in the dirt. ”

Duke Nehak looked at Li Minghui with blazing eyes, and suddenly spoke.

"It's a pity that a wise and martial general like you can't show his strength on the battlefield, but is restrained everywhere! Why don't you come to my Xilan as a commander? I can assure you that as long as you are willing to come to the Empire, my Majesty will not treat you badly! How many people you command here, with us you can multiply five! ”

Looking at the five fingers of Governor Nehak, Li Minghui almost didn't choke on the spittle, and said hurriedly with a dry cough.

"It doesn't have to be ...... But if you're interested, I can introduce you to a few of you navy boys, and it's no problem to be your advisors. ”

He poured bitter water on his lips, this guy really thought how excluded he was in the South China Sea Alliance.

Joke!

He's also a war hero, okay?

Not surprisingly, he was able to sit in the position of commander of the Navy until retirement, but he was not interested in quitting his job and becoming a captain at the zoo.

However, he didn't mind picking two young guys from the naval system to develop them, and anyway, there would be no battles to fight in the southern seas in the future.

On the Empire's side, it is estimated that there will be a lot of battles, and when the Empire's navy is trained, it can't still fight with the broken fishing boats bought in Silvermoon Bay, right?

When the time comes, sell them a few more destroyers.

Anyway, that thing dismantled the radar, sonar, fire control and other messy systems into a big toy, he didn't worry about any trouble, and by the way, he could help the unemployed engineers of the South China Sea Alliance solve the employment problem, and the delegates would be happy.

Duke Nehac was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Is that true?"

"Seriously, of course...... Well, but the delegates are not going to be fooled around, I'll have to wait for them to let them go. ”

Li Minghui originally said such a sentence casually with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect that this casual sentence poked Governor Nehak's heart.

Unable to hide the joy on his face, Duke Nehac patted his thigh and said.

"That's a good thing to say! I'll be able to provide you with another 10 billion Xilan Dollar loan! ”

Can give military advisers today.

Won't you be able to buy warships tomorrow?

Nehak's excited eyes were red, and the opportunity for shame seemed to be right in front of him!

Li Minghui naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't expect this empire to be so bold, and it was 10 billion when he snapped.

After a moment of amazement, he stood in awe and raised his glass.

"On behalf of the residents of the South Sea Alliance, I thank you for your generosity!"

"Haha! The general doesn't have to be polite, just a little heart! Nehak smiled and waved his hand, "The empire is not short of this little money, so it should be regarded as making friends!" ”

Looking at the corners of his mouth that were upturned so forgetfully, Li Minghui smiled faintly, touched the glass with the duke, and then drank the wine in the cup very interestingly.

It's okay for a little bit of money......

I'm the one who asks for food?

Tut.

But one thing to say, this meal is not cold.

Although the words of these hangers are really ugly, they are really not ambiguous at all when they give money, and their opening is a string of zeros.

For the sake of these hundreds of millions of silver coins—oh no, those ten billion Xilan coins, he suddenly felt that this Duke was not so annoying.

After a full meal, Li Minghui had his secretary drive Duke Nehak to the port area.

The duke seemed to be allergic to the Alliance, insisting on staying on the ships of the Empire, and refused to stay in a hotel on the shore.

As for Li Minghui himself, he didn't even move his buttocks, and directly called the waiter to clean up the table, and then started the next game.

One is to save trouble, and the other is to save money.

And the person he was about to meet was none other than a representative of the new authorities in Mammoth, whose name was Weru.

This young man is not very old, only in his early twenties, but there is a calmness on his face that is rare for this age, and his straight sitting posture looks like a trained soldier.

To be honest, although the benefits brought by the Mammoth authorities to the South China Sea Alliance are far less than the 20 billion given by Xilan, Li Minghui prefers the handsome young man in front of him compared to the nouveau riche face of Duke Nihak.

Looking at Wei Lu, who took the initiative to pour himself wine, Li Minghui smiled faintly and said with interest.

"Don't you wonder who I just met?"

Wei Lu respectfully touched the cup with Li Minghui, drank it all, put the cup on the table, and said indifferently.

"You don't have to ask, it's Mr. Nehak."

Li Minghui said with a smile.

"You're from the Moon Clan, don't you hate him?"

There was no change in Veru's expression, and he just continued as usual.

"There's nothing to hate, it's just a matter of winning or losing on the battlefield of our conflicts with them, and it has nothing to do with our friendship."

Staring at the expression on his face for a while, Li Minghui suddenly laughed.

"Haha! Guy, have a backbone! To be honest, it's still your Lassie's temper with me. I'm tired of the guys who talk in my ear all day, as if Charas had been chanted to death by them......"

When he said this, he pinched the wine glass for a long time, then suddenly sighed again, shook his head lightly, and said.

"But sometimes I feel that I really can't live without those guys......"

"What you said is that our leader actually knows in his heart that those people are not for war, but there are some things that are indispensable to them, so they have been kept in the army...... Your glass is empty, I'll toast you again. Wei Lu said respectfully, picked up the wine bottle and wanted to fill it for Li Minghui, but the latter stretched out his hand and pushed it away.

"Courtesy is still exchanged."

Looking at Wei Lu, who had an surprised expression, Li Minghui smiled at him, poured a glass for both of them, and continued after doing it casually.

"You're more likable than Nanihak, so I'll give you a little extra hint, the Empire isn't just going to sell us cement and steel, it's also going to import some naval advisors from us...... Including naval equipment and stuff, I think they're quite interested in it. ”

Weiru's face was slightly heavy.

It's not that he's afraid of the Empire's navy, and that thing can't drive into the Tasan River, at most it can hang around the edge of Mammoth City.

They had leased an area near the shore to the cultists of Silvermoon Bay, and there were many people there who had interests in the Alliance, and the Empire would have to weigh the consequences even if it wanted to bomb the port.

When the time comes, you will still have to divide the winners and losers on land.

What really worries him is another thing -

"Are they already that rich?"

Li Minghui said with a smile.

"I don't think so, it's just a swollen face and a fat man, and the Xilan coin they gave is not a sought-after thing, and we have to work hard to get rid of it. You are a soldier, and so am I, so I won't go around in circles, the price given to us by the bank over there in the alliance is 100 Xilan coins for 1 silver coin, the advantage is that they can eat it at once, and the disadvantage is that the price is too cheap! We have also contacted the banks in the port of Golden Gallen, in fact, it is also the people of the alliance and the forces they support are operating, and the quotation is better than the local banks of the alliance, but they are only willing to give 80 for 1, and it only costs 5 billion...... After all, they had only helped Baiyue Company digest a batch of Xilan coins before, and now they were temporarily saturated. ”

In fact, not only did he help Baiyue Company digest, but also helped some old local nobles exchange Xilan coins for gallons, which he learned through his own secretaries.

There are many merchants in the port of French fries who travel between the port of Golden Gallen and the Baiyue Strait, and you can find a bar by the port and sit by the bar, or ask the waiter there directly.

Veru's pupils flickered slightly, keenly aware of the opportunity that Mr. President, who had come from a military background, had revealed to him.

"How many do you have left?"

Li Minghui looked at this sensible young man with a smile on his face and continued.

"We have already sold 4 billion to the private banks on the alliance side, and 4 billion on the Golden Gallon Port side, and there is still 1 billion left after deducting the consumption of building materials. But just now, Nehag sent us another 10 billion, and now we have 11 billion Xilan coins in our hands. ”

Wei Ru said with a grimace.

"That's too much...... A billion to okay, 10 billion is also a bit difficult for us, and we also need silver coins to rebuild. ”

The authorities of Mammoth State have a reserve of silver coins, including the labor dispatch company, which is also settled in silver coins, and the profit can be 10 million silver coins a month.

Wei Lu knew very well what President Lee Minghui meant, and he wanted to settle a part of his wages with Xilan coins, which could be regarded as selling off part of Xilan coins in disguise.

In exchange, Mammoth can get a cheap exchange rate, which is negotiable as long as it is more favorable than the 1:100 offered by the Union's private banks.

Although the neighboring states have imposed an embargo on Mammoth, the port of Golden Gallen is still able to get rid of the West Lan.

As long as the empire exists for a day, the Xilan coin will be valuable, at least much stronger than the "Federation Coin" of the South Sea Alliance.

If you can't understand it, you can understand it as "soybean coupons", "cotton coupons", "sugar coupons", and "mining coupons".

The Mammoth State authorities don't have to worry about getting a pile of waste paper that can't be spent, and they can even earn a "spread" from it.

However, the only problem is that none of the primary resources that Xilan can buy are needed by the Mammoth State, and they do not have a strong military backing, so they simply do not have time to start developing light industry from making shirts, or even reselling bulk commodities.

But at this moment, Wei Lu suddenly thought of something and asked eagerly.

"Can you get a preferential price for cement and steel from the Xilan Empire?"

Li Minghui nodded approvingly.

"Yes...... And it was the cement and steel that the Legion helped them produce, which were of impeccable quality and ridiculously cheap. But let's be honest, this stuff is too much and takes up space, and we can't digest their inventory anytime soon, unless we decide to build a fourteenth artificial island. ”

"We need steel and cement!" "We can pay you the silver coins, and you can pay the Xilan coins to the factories of the empire, and then reload the unused cement and steel on the ships in the port of Golden Gallon, and then transport them to us." ”

It's not just money that can be transferred, but also preferential terms that come with the loan agreement. The South China Sea Alliance doesn't need to come up with anything, it just needs to transfer the half-price coupons given to them by the empire and stuff them to the authorities in Mammoth State, which also needs to be rebuilt.

It doesn't matter if you don't make any difference, the authorities themselves are not profit-making institutions, and there is no need to think about making money at all.

As long as the "Xilan coin, which is useless in the southern seas" can be quickly converted into "silver coins that can pay the salaries of the employees of the South China Sea Alliance", it is already a great political achievement.

Looking at this flexible young man, Li Minghui's eyes became more and more approving.

This young man has a good understanding.

It seems that the Zoo Province can also produce two talents.

"That's good to say, the banks on our side directly provide you with infrastructure building materials at 50% of the market price, in fact, the preferential treatment given to us by the empire is also this number, you have caused a disaster, I am really embarrassed to make the difference between you and you...... Of course, the premise of this agreement is that the preferential treatment given to us by the Empire has not been cancelled, and I ask for your understanding as to whether the representative will agree to me subsidizing the property of the survivors of the southern seas in a place that they cannot find on the map. ”

"Thank you so much!" With a look of surprise on his face, Veru quickly stood up, holding wine glasses in both hands and said respectfully, "Thank you for your generosity to the survivors of Mammoth State...... Allow me to toast you! ”

Looking at Wei Lu, who had drunk it all, Li Minghui smiled and waved his hand and said "polite", and then raised his glass himself.

For him, this meal was much more enjoyable than the last.

At the same time, Nehak, who had just disembarked at the port area, was drunkenly bidding farewell to the secretary who had been seeing him off all the way, and returned to the ship with the help of his attendants.

As he passed by the deck, a cool breeze blew through his neck, causing him to shiver unconsciously and look around vigilantly.

There was a quiet wave all around, and no one was staring at him, let alone the Coalition Guards waiting for an opportunity to ambush him.

Realizing that he was nervous, Nehak's old face couldn't help but blush, but he still muttered a curse in his mouth.

"This damn alliance......"

On the other side, the secretary who had sent Nehak off returned to the North Island Hotel, where he happened to meet the president downstairs who had sent away the mammoth state authorities.

After seeing that his secretary had returned, Li Minghui got into the car directly, and at the same time ordered him to drive to the presidential palace, he also briefly explained the agreement between himself and the authorities of Mammoth State.

“…… You should draw up the contract as soon as possible, and you can ask my staff to ponder the details to see if there is anything that needs to be added. ”

The secretary nodded earnestly, but his expression was still a little hesitant.

"We have such a contract with the authorities of the Mammoth State...... Is there something unfair to the Empire? ”

"Fair?" As if hearing something very funny, Li Minghui snorted lightly without smiling.

"Although Si Wen's dog thing has a lot of, there is one sentence that is too right. The alliance is good for everything, but it is too benevolent, and it is good to talk about civilization for people, but it is also civilized for animals...... What a waste. ”

"Even in Ideal City, money is not everything, and as a result, a slave owner who has only lived a good life for a few days thinks that he can do whatever he wants if he has money...... Hehe. ”

Looking at the night scene flying outside the car window, he said slowly.

"Didn't they say they weren't bad for money, so let them buy a lesson."

Seriously, Nehaq should have been glad it was himself who he was talking to, not Charas, who had been burned to ashes by the inhabitants of the southern seas.

If that guy won the civil war, he would probably pour wine on Nihak's head on the spot and humiliate him, and then use naval guns to blow up the ports of the empire, and set fire all the way to his hometown Heavenly Palace to talk face-to-face.

Just as Li Minghui pursed his lips and put the imperial affairs aside, the mammoth state, which had just suffered from flooding, was burning again......
