Chapter 1516 Common Sense in International Trade
In the end, Donghezi and his party still entered the snake country to transit. They even took advantage of the tall trees in the swamp to add a wide 'gazebo' to the Land Cruiser in the shape of a Lego spider. However, the weight did not increase much, as the Land Cruisers were mostly hollow, like cargo ships or stilt houses. Living in the gazebo can not only avoid the humid and hot swamps, water vapor and flying insects below, but also look at the colorful green fields in the distance, and enjoy the cool breeze and the leisurely eating melon fruits. Very pleasant. However, Tozyko, who was in the middle of it with the others, was listening to the news report, and at the same time dictating the superstition of magic, and when the mages finished writing, they transmitted it to the king of the snake country: "The rebels have also added charges to the snake king? ”
The attendant read, "First, heaviness. Second, there is no need for honorable ministers. Third, do not appoint lowly and treacherous merchants, laborers, or even slaves of inferior status, and destabilize ethics. Fourth~~~" Donghezi hummed and continued to help him: "The fourth is to listen to the woman's words. The fifth is to think that you understand the general trend of the world and act correctly. The sixth is the neglect of sacrificing to the snake gods. Right. ”
The attendants were dumbfounded: "Yes~~~ Yes." The person next to him was a little curious: "You already knew?" but saw Donghezi laughing: "This trick, Wei Ziqi and King Wu of Zhou have already played it, they just copied the rice." If the Snake King wants to reform and reform, who can he appoint if he does not appoint new forces? Can those warrior priests who can only kill people and sacrifice blood engage in business? As for blood-drinking, hehe, which family in the Snake Country does not drink blood? After the Snake King promulgated the ban on slaughter, aren't these noble old ministers still secretly sacrificing the snake god with blood?" He also ordered the mages: "In the letter, I want to emphasize to the Snake King: Although the disaster is caused by internal strife, we must beware of the disaster of the frontier of foreign tribes, because those who have internal strife this time really have external help." This external aid is very difficult to eliminate. If all the troops are put into suppressing the civil strife, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of another force by the foreign helpers. Calm the chaos and seek stability, not urgency. ”
After writing it, everyone said: "We are just a mission, will the snake king listen to what we say?" Donghezi said: "I probably won't listen, but it's man-made, we always have to make good use of the opportunity to ask for a 'just in case'." Then he said to the attendants, "Bring me the information we have recorded earlier about the trade of the Serpent Nation." ”
After the Liuxian and the others brought the information, Donghezi checked some materials and some military magic items that the Snake Country often purchased on it, and ordered: "Please eat a batch first." Wait for the price of the snake country to rise and sell it to the snake king. "I also checked some of the snake country takeaway materials that ranked before the exam", pay attention to the price of collecting these materials. Report every day. Let the duke's side prepare some funds, which can be eaten when the price is reduced. ”
The six-stringed piano also wanted to show his loyalty and reduce the suspicion of the last sneak attack: "You can buy some exclusive snake kings for arms and goods." But many of the materials sold by these snake countries are exclusively produced by the snake country. They are using the money at the right time. I'm afraid it won't be reduced. ”
Donghezi smiled: "It's not a small purchase. Where there is free trade. This is a big deal between countries, big groups and big groups, and classes and strata, and most of the big deals have to be taken by ingenuity and recklessness, and they have no choice but to do it! The snake king's plan for national transformation has already begun. For example, the construction of hard roads, such as the construction of large commercial sites and facilities. Don't forget, the original dispute between our two countries also originated from the dispute over water routes! The Snake King's determination to transform the country is great. And to carry out these constructions, a lot of spells and manpower and material resources are used, for example, the simplest road construction requires a huge amount of 'fossil to mud' spell. These things cannot be provided by the snake country itself and must be purchased from foreign countries. The purchase requires international currency, such as gold, silver, and gemstones. If you want to get the international currency, you must first sell your own products. ”
"Now it's the Arcane Federation that wants to fix the snake king. These smart people and powerful and violent people, they don't engage in monopolies such as syndicates and Jianjian Kang Caien, then everyone is really Yaoshun. If I were to them, I would first manipulate the market and uniformly lower the price of the products sold in the Snake Country, forcing the Snake Country to lack international currencies such as gold and silver, so that they could not buy enough things for construction and renovation. Then raise the price of the goods purchased by the snake country, so that their currency consumption will increase, and the funds for construction and renovation will be less. Then instigate a civil war and raise the price of arms, so that the Serpent King will spend more currency. His renovation plan fell through. And once a renovation plan like this is stopped, the subsequent economic impact will be severe. It is possible to further oppose the neutrals in the Snake Country, and then come forward to force the Snake King to sign a treaty in favor of us in the name of 'helping to quell the chaos or alleviate the economic crisis'. ”
"It's not that simple. The six-stringed qin said: "They can control the price of goods, they control the chamber of commerce of zhì does not sell, there are other chambers of commerce~~~" Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Donghezi: "Isn't there a traitor in the snake country?
The six-stringed piano is still rambling: "But there will be a lot of smuggling." For example, there are many smugglers in our country, and the Sun King cannot stop them. Toheko replied, "That's because the sun's planned economy is too rude." The planned economic management method of the Austrian Federation is much more refined, and although it cannot be eliminated, it can also prohibit more than 70%. Large-scale trade cannot be formed. It's a drop in the bucket for the Snake King. ”
When the six-stringed piano was speechless, Tohezi asked, "Why don't you speak? There is a more critical way." The six-stringed instrument and everyone were at a loss, and in the end it was Donghezi himself who said: "It's our Raziraka Kingdom! With the power of the country and the power of the Sun King, we can still take a hard stand against the Austrian Federation." Continue to trade with the Serpent King. If the Austro-French Federation were to openly deal with the Sun King and Raziraka, the price would be raised again. ”
"So, they will use a trick?" "Sabotage the relationship between the two countries? High, really high!" The opposite Dongzyzi Pi pulled his skin without smiling - this kind of ordinary trick that can be thought of by the ass, as long as you really understand international trade and production, you can come up with it. Tall fart!
After assigning the task, the next thing is to return to the royal city of the snake country, wait for the duke to make a decision and send the commercial team to come, hand over the commercial team and help them contact the powerful people in the snake country. It's a long time. Therefore, the speed of the journey of Toheko and his party slowed down, and the Land Cruiser, which looked like a spider, often docked next to certain swamps or small woodlands, allowing Tohezi and those Rokko Divine Guards to collect local plant specimens on the spot, and even directly brought them to the ship, using the energy of the elemental catalytic furnace to test the effectiveness of these plants.
The most direct harvest is to find that the stem of a plant has a corrosion-resistant structure, if these structural structures can be 'integrated' into the surface of the shaped hard wood, and then coated with anti-corrosion agents, it may be possible to create highly corrosion-resistant wood, and may even become a replacement for steel, as a new universal material.
Of course. This process of 'blending' is more complicated. Tohezi et al. conceived a variety of schemes, the simplest of which was to 'apply' a layer of antiseptic 80% thinner than paper on the part of the material close to the surface with a microplastic wood spell, then an equally thin layer of hardwood on the outside, and then a thin layer of antiseptic on the outside. And so on ten or twenty times. It forms a complex intertwined outer wall.
When the Rokko Divine Guards use the energy of the catalytic furnace to operate directly. The speed is slower. The thickness is also difficult to control precisely. It seems that a dedicated thickness control tool must be improved first. But they were not discouraged, but very happy. Because they have been able to use the energy of the catalytic furnace, referring to the process of rattan armor. Large-scale production of materials with hardness comparable to steel, although the thickness and volume are larger, but the raw materials are cheaper.
"If we have enough manpower, we can use this catalytic furnace to produce this 'ironwood' material continuously! In the future, if we make materials that are resistant to corrosion or high temperatures, we can really replace steel, at least copper or bronze. "In fact, most of the mages on the team were very interested and asked them to make batches of half-length wisteria armor, which would not affect spellcasting like metal armor and would be lighter than armor. There are even Rokko Shenwei who have used this method to produce a wooden wear-resistant large bearing, and after applying grease, the initial effect is not bad. The market for this kind of professional product should not be underestimated.
"We should set up a comptoir. Holding a hand of muddy weeds, Tohezi happily said to Rokko Jine beside him: "Specializing in wood shaping technology, we need to produce high-strength wood with various properties according to market needs, from armor and bearings to building beams and columns, as well as bridges, pipelines and large-scale engineering materials." The first step could be to focus on pipes, which are used in cities to carry water and drain water in large quantities. It is necessary to do a good job of corrosion prevention, and it is best to find a resin with high corrosion resistance~~~~ resin~~~" Dongzyzi suddenly remembered: on the earth, those industrially synthesized high-strength resins are actually CHO hydrocarbons, and wood is also CHO hydrocarbons.
According to the rules of change in this world, the same kind of change is simple, and the different kind of change is difficult. It is simple for a certain material to become similar to a similar material, but it is difficult to change the material. For example, it is easy to turn hair into wood, but it is difficult to turn it into metal. Because the quality of the material is too different. So can the same CHO hydrocarbons turn wood into corrosion-resistant, non-combustible industrial resins?
Even ~~~ to get out T700 premium carbon fiber!!
This is too ~~~~ ahhahahaha~~~ Donghezi suddenly forgot to sleep and eat. When everyone was having dinner, he pulled out a few mouthfuls and left, running to the elemental catalytic furnace to toss his transformation spell, and tossed until midnight without a score. Even with Xander, he has to grind for time, and adjust the elemental catalytic furnace from time to time. I was very tired: "You just rest, isn't it just a board, this is not a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
Donghezi was a little speechless: "Benefiting the country and the people? I am not just 'benefiting the country and benefiting the people'! I am a major event of 'benefiting the world'." Cindell asked, "How can you benefit the world if you engage in these things, and you don't give away a single silver coin or a piece of bread to others, and you can't even help a poor person?"
Donghezi said: "How many people in the world are still living a dark life of mining slaves in the mines, how many people in the world are unable to open mountains and build bridges because of the lack of high-strength and cheap materials, and how many people in the world cut down mountains and forests to grow meager grain or raise goats that specifically destroy the land, and do not know how to protect the water and soil, destroy the water and soil and eventually harm themselves." As soon as these materials are released, the people in the mines can see the light of day and move to work on the surface, the people in the mountains and rivers can build bridges across the mountains and rivers and make it easy for them to trade, and the people in the mountains and forests can also live by planting special trees in exchange for food. This has really improved people's lives, so why is it not 'benefiting the world'? Is it necessary to practice benevolence, righteousness and ethics every day to benefit the world?"
"People in the world want to live a good life, but they only worship the 'sages' who advocate benevolence and righteousness, and despise the production and organization that actually improves people's living conditions. Heavy holes and hills and light management, appreciate the fur and forget the flesh and bones, and despise the big book with the appearance of respect. Such a deranged act is worse than pointing at a deer as a horse! You've been with me for so long, and you still don't understand?"
