"We will send a war item to the Serpent King to suppress the rebels, and the Golden Demon Pattern will guarantee the repayment of this money. Two months later, the Snake King sold a piece of the goods to us at a lower price to repay the money. The Three Towers Federation will purchase these goods at market prices. If the Serpent King is unable to repay after 3 months, the Golden Charm will purchase a batch of teleportation wands and other magical items from us at a higher price to repay the money. In the simple pergola on the top of the cruiser, the mission tasted a special local plant tea and honey mixed drink, and at the same time told Dong Hezi and others about the general situation: "In general, we do not suffer in money. And the Serpent King suppressed the rebellion, which is also good for our peace talks. ”

"Why are you so around?" Cindell next to him was muttering: "Isn't it okay for the Golden Demon Pattern to give the money directly to the Snake King?" Use trade to tie up politics and military. Only by tying them up can you make a fortune. It is estimated that they have calculated what they will do in 2 or 3 months, and what will happen in the next few months, so that they can sell goods and make a fortune. Maybe they're fanning the flames elsewhere and trying to sell something to someone else. ”

Then Dong Hezi turned back to the envoy and said, "The Golden Demon Pattern Society is too powerful and too far away, and if they fail to pay their debts, we can't do anything about it." Moreover, we are on the territory of the Arcane Federation, and if the news of collusion with outsiders comes out, it will be very unfavorable to us! Even if the Arcane Federation does not want to clean us up, once the news is deliberately poked out by the Golden Magic Pattern. If the public knows, then the Austrian Federation will have to clean us up in order to restore their dignity. Then someone will go to the royal capital to join us for the crime of 'colluding with snake people', and then some of them will suffer. It's not easy!"

"Will the Golden Demon Pattern trap us?" Cindell was a little puzzled: "Then will they not do business in the future?" Aren't they afraid of ruining their reputation?" Dong Hezi smiled: "They secretly cheated us and secretly poked our affairs out." What evidence do you have to prove that they did it? Didn't Kan Ruimaia play such a thing to trap his teammates over and over again? Doing small and medium-sized trade, relying on the law, and doing big trade, but relying on fists and shapes. Our fists are not big enough, and the shape is not good. Don't agree to it. ”

The messenger said, "But the Serpent King's side is indeed struggling to resist. In case he can't stop it, the snake country will change greatly, and then someone will secretly support those snake people on the border. That's not good for us. The Golden Demon Pattern will be able to pay the bill. The Snake King can't get rid of it. In case this is done. We can connect with the Golden Demon Pattern Society, which will be beneficial to the future development. Didn't you often exhort the Duke to go in this direction?"

Dong Hezi replied: "Only by being a lion can you get rid of the fate of sheep." But the road to becoming a lion is very difficult! As I said in the report I sent back last time, most of the portals in the Snake Country lead to the south, around the forces of the Golden Demon Pattern. However, the Arcane Federation did not want the forces of the Golden Demon Pattern Society to infiltrate, and had already used several forces to intervene. It is estimated that this place will be completely yellowed. Resolutely not allow this trade route to take shape! It's hard for us to fight, so I'm against taking too many risks. Based on my observations over time, our strategy should be to capitalize on this chaos. Simply tear the snake kingdom apart! Cultivate forces that cling to us, especially those local forces that produce trade products. Because the Austro-French Federation just doesn't want this to become a trade route, and doesn't want the east, west, people, and forces from the south to come over, but it is still acceptable to make a production base. Anyway, it didn't violate their bottom line. ”

"This~~~" The envoy hesitated for a while: "The Duke has already sent someone to contact the people of the Golden Demon Pattern Society here. You should contact the Duke in person to determine the next steps. ”

Next to a shopping street full of humans, goblins, fish-people, and even a few centaurs, there is a tall stone building - this is the high-class structure in the snake country for high-ranking people. In a hall protected by multiple magics, Dong Hezi directly told the representative of the Golden Demon Pattern Society about the next step: "What's the use of talking so much nonsense? How much blood will you shed for the Snake Country? I heard that there are portals to your sphere of influence on the side of the Arcane Federation, you poke them in the sore spots, they also poke your sore spots, in fact, the most painful ones are the locals." It's just that they were used as guns, and they thought they were willing. With all due respect, I don't think you're going to help the Serpent King out of his troubles for the sake of his plans. ”

"But if the Serpent King falls, you won't get a production base. On the other side, the representative of the Golden Demon Pattern Guild, who was dressed neatly and tattooed with a shiny high magic pattern on his forehead, said bluntly: "You are in contact with many forces here, and your intentions are not small. Do you want to give up here?" and then he received a resolute reply from Dong Hezi: "If you can make money on the business here, you can make it, and if you can't make it, forget it." Anyway, I haven't done much business before. As long as the war does not reach our borders, we have nothing to lose. ”

The other party frowned: "You came here specifically to say this?" Dong Hezi smiled on the other side: "You can't do local business, but you can still do business in other places." The Duke himself wants to cooperate with you in the sale of luxury goods. The other party sneered: "Just now I said that the Duke was worried about being caught by the Austrian Federation and asked him to settle accounts." Why aren't you afraid now? Isn't the Arcane Federation angry when they see you buying and selling our things?"

Dong Hezi replied: "If you are not happy in your heart, you will tell me these lies, but in doing so, you will only lose one trade route—the strategy of the Austrian Federation is local." Your two families are hostile, but only locally. And we, as long as we don't interfere with the plans of the Arcane Federation locally, we will not join your camp, why do people care about us? There are many merchants in the north who sell your southern luxury goods, and I don't see anyone being settled by the Arcane Federation. This is international trade, while cutting each other, and trading with each other. Cut the enemy and strengthen yourself in the chopping and trade, and finally achieve victory. ”

Seeing that Dong Hezi didn't want to bargain, the other party also accepted the trick with interest: "Duke Van Duolun has people like you who have good knowledge, it seems that it is not a thing in the pool." What does he want to buy and sell?" said Dong Hezi, "The list of goods will be sent to you tomorrow." But we want cash or corresponding goods! We don't accept other financial bills~~~" When the other party pulled his face and smiled: "It's really picky, but everyone can talk." ”

The atmosphere that followed was much more harmonious. In the midst of the staggering, the other party even called a few young beauties from the south to dance to add to the fun. These girls are different from those in the north, the lines of all parts of their bodies are very clear, slightly like the South American mixed race of the earth, but their skin color is still white, and their hair colors are varied, all of them are shiny, very smooth and beautiful. Coupled with their colorful clothes and wonderful flying limbs, it is indeed a wonderful picture that makes people feel excited.

And everyone is very clear about the 'hospitality etiquette' in the south, and even Ponuuk has his eye on two of the tall girls with good faces. Only Dong Hezi looked preoccupied. When the banquet is over. All of them. Regardless of whether the Golden Demon Pattern Society or the Mission, they all hugged one or two smiling and cute girls and went to the room above to do good deeds. Dong Hezi turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew back to the city alone.

Inside the giant spider-like Land Cruiser. He summoned a few core Rokko Divine Guards. Tell them an important decision: "I will ask the Duke of Van Doren to conduct trade with the forces of the Golden Demon Pattern. They can't be in direct contact. Some middlemen are needed. In addition, the currency and bills in the south of the Western Continent are also different, and if you want to do things such as huàn, you can also make a profit from it. We can take care of these things!"

Most of the core characters are born in the countryside. There is also one who is from the deep mountains and is very appetizing to ask them to fight or build utensils, but when he heard about this kind of high-end business, he suddenly felt empty: "We have never done these things." It's no problem to do ordinary trading, but what you said~~~ It seems to be quite complicated~~~ I heard that only people with super arithmetic ability can do those~~~"

"What are you afraid of!" Dong Hezi scolded: "How difficult do you think? It's not that you want to engage in national currency flow and risk control, but just to exploit money from it." The key is to be well-organized, broad-reaching, and well-informed. Now that you are scattered all over the place, you have a wide range of tentacles, and you have practiced the art of the Rokko Divine Guard, whether it is probing or communication, you are better than ordinary mages, and this is precisely the information that is well-informed. We have set up a workshop of the 'Elements and Legals', and the basic organization is in place. Now it is necessary to expand and tighten it. ”

"When the time comes, the Duke of Van Doren and the snake people lord here will be the ones who will help us work. Dong Hezi said in a deep voice: "And we can establish a hidden kingdom that spans the entire Western Continent or even across multiple continents!!!

"Huh??" Several Rokko guards and priests were very surprised, they were already middle and high-level members of the Forest Mother God Church, and their vision had long jumped out of the villages and towns and suburbs where they were born, knowing that in this world, in addition to the large and small regime kingdoms that everyone can see, there are also many 'hidden kingdoms and hidden nobles', which even rise above many political kingdoms, and even induce civil strife and mutual cooperation and fighting in these political kingdoms. For example, the Golden Demon Pattern Society and the Arcane Federation say that it is a 'society', but in fact it is a 'country'! Their borders straddle the south and north of the Western Continent, and the condition for naturalization is not blood but 'possession of sufficient arcane abilities or special economic relations'.

And the ecclesiastical power of the Mother Goddess of the Forest, although it also belongs to the 'hidden kingdom', is too loose! And it is scattered all over the place, and even the slightly larger regime cannot deal with it, let alone the kind of 'kingdom' that is high above. If you can climb to those levels, it is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, which makes people both excited and afraid: "Although the ability of our Rokko Divine Guard is high, it is still inferior to the arcane. How can you compare to them?"

Dong Hezi said: "I didn't let you challenge them, but I just crossed them to the same level. Don't you want to?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise and weakness for a while, and then nodded one after another: "Of course I can't ask for it! What are we going to do now? We'll do it right away!" When they thought they were going to do something great and historical, they were thrown by Dong Hezi with an inconsistencious sentence: "First compile a general education book, so that the public and your children can learn it." Understand the basic reasons and methods of the formation of trade organizations, the methods of organizational cooperation and struggle, and understand the impermanence of the world and the adaptation of measures to local conditions. Otherwise, the bottom is a group of people who have no knowledge and do not understand modern production and trade, how can they build a high-level kingdom with their minds full of daily mundane thoughts?"

"Make up a book?" Several high-ranking figures were almost speechless: "Those of us who hunt and walk in the wilderness, although we know some truths about doing business. But make up a book of great truths. This ~~~ This is not our business. ”

But Dong Hezi raised his finger and asked, "You have learned the knowledge of the Liujia Divine Guard, do you understand the relationship between the five internal organs of the human body, the marrow, the blood, the muscles and the flesh?" Several people nodded and said, "They all understand, if you don't understand, you can't introduce natural energy into your body and reshape your body." ”

Dong Hezi said: "The coordinated operation of the five internal organs and the mutual auxiliary relationship between the marrow, blood, muscles, and flesh is an example of the division of labor and cooperation within an organization, and how to make it work well! It is possible to touch the bypass, extending from the knowledge of the daily Rokko Divine Guard to the construction of the organization. ”

The crowd readily agreed.

Dong Hezi asked again: "Do you know the story of the struggle and cooperation between the various animals in the forest and the wilderness?" Several of them nodded and said, "I have heard about it since I was a child, and I have seen many of them when I grow up." ”

Toheko said, "This is an example of mutual cooperation, mutual struggle, and mutual use between organizations! You have the Rokko priests and priests everywhere gather this knowledge extensively. It is possible to touch the bypass. This extends to the methods of organizational cooperation and struggle. ”

And they gladly agreed

Dong Hezi asked again: "You forest rangers are scattered all over the world, across mountains, rivers, seas and even hundreds of countries, there are human beings and non-human beings. For example, some tribes believe that it is natural for men to be inferior to women, and for one man to be equal to several women, and some tribes think that women are inferior to men, and that one woman is equal to several men. Some people believe that cremating loved ones is sacred to the supremacy. It is perverse to bury the corpses, and some believe that the land where the corpses are buried is sacred. Cremating a corpse is a great rebellion. There are also various customs that are very different and contradictory. Some religions say. Horses are unhoofed animals, unclean and inedible, but some tribes believe that. Horses are a treasure given by the gods, and their flesh is the most holy gift of hospitality. Some religions say that eating blood is an evil deed cursed by the gods, while others say that abstaining from blood is a blasphemy against the Lord of all spirits, because blood is the mediator between heaven and earth and life. When slaughtering livestock, the blood must be collected cleanly, cooked and eaten in time. Haven't you ever heard of such a very different custom?" and they all said, "The people below don't know, but the people above us do." ”

Dong Hezi said: "Therefore, you should compile these customs and their causes into a book, so that the low-level people and children can have the knowledge of broadcasting, understand the truth of the impermanence of the world, and know how to adapt measures to local conditions." They will be free from narrow-mindedness and stubborn dogmatism! In this way, they will be able to broaden their horizons and minds and walk flexibly and appropriately in various places. ”

Everyone was happy: "It turns out that we already have so much material, but we don't know it." Thanks to His Holiness's teachings, we will ask the elders to organize people to do it. ”

After the important matters are explained, just wait for the duke to arrive, and then you can go back after the handover. Dong Hezi put his mind on the 'Elemental Fusion Circle' again, but something happened the next day - yes! A member of the mission who stayed in the city did not return, and when he contacted the Golden Demon Pattern Society, they said that the person had left last night. Just as someone was discussing: "Could it be that the Austrian Federation has done a black hand?" another snake man attendant came with a letter from the king: "Your Majesty has something important to discuss with you alone, please go to the palace for a while." ”

Dong Hezi frowned and muttered: "I'll go change my clothes, please wait." As a result, it took nearly 20 minutes for this change, and the messenger of the snake king became impatient, and he came out belatedly, and suddenly grabbed Ponuuk's hand and said, "You can also accompany me on a trip." Make a note for me. ”

Bonuuk didn't even blink an eyelid. Just when Cindell and other acquaintances were secretly surprised, "Let a rough person like Bonook make a record?, is there no mistake?", but they saw Dong Hezi call the deputy head of the mission: "After I go, I will leave the matter here to you with full authority." No matter what happens, it's important to keep our people safe first. Then he and Bonuuk followed the messenger into the rocky snake city like a mountain.

Just as Xander and the others were muttering, "Do you want Bonuk to make a record?" The deputy regimental commander on the opposite side suddenly ordered: "Immediately notify all the personnel outside the ship, and order them to hurry back! All personnel are ready to evacuate here at any time! All those who know how to spell immediately go and prepare your spells." ”

Hinder, who realized it later, still hadn't figured out what was going on: "What's the matter? Didn't Reverend Magellan go to the city? Why do you want to evacuate? Do you want to leave him here?" But the deputy head of the regiment replied: "Mr. Magellan has given an order just now, there is a great danger in the city, and we must be ready to retreat at any time!!"

——————————————————————————————————————

The Serpent King, who wore the crown of pure gold, had a gloomy face, because during the morning sacrifice to the gods and ancestors, a jewel representing the ancestors suddenly shattered!

Precious stones are not porcelain, and they are not subject to tremendous pressure or temperature, so how can they burst suddenly? This is by no means an accidental 'physical phenomenon'. In this world full of magic and fantasy, this situation must mean that something has happened! He repeatedly ordered people to probe inside and outside the palace to see if there was anything abnormal.

Soon, some attendants hurried back and reported an astonishing news: "Thousands of people in the city have rioted! They are shouting, 'Down with the tyrannical kingship, oppose the persecution of the mane, we must respect the freedom of the people to sacrifice to the gods with blood, and maintain our sacred traditional culture,' and the palace is about to be surrounded!

But the Serpent King secretly screamed: "It's broken! The palace guards have been bought!

Recently, there have been several important private matters to deal with, and the update has been a little unstable. Thank you for your understanding.

In addition, I recommend a half-cool book, The Great Thief of the Country. Of course, if it's reasonable or something, just throw it away and feed it to the dogs. (To be continued......)
