Chapter 31 Divergent interests
Speaking of the name Archmage of Sidric, the middle-aged man's voice was filled with awe.
"Sidrik, that madman, I don't want to deal with him! Hmph, that Tong Dalu's body is too powerful, not like a human being. Maybe their secret has something to do with that!"
Archmage Douglas said, but he was confused, and he didn't want the patriarch of the Dick family to know what he really thought.
Even if the other party is his ally, it is the same!
In fact, the reason why he let Yin Shengzhi and the others go so lightly also had a lot to do with the fear of Archmage Sidrick!
He even suspected that Yin Shengzhi was able to become a mage in just a few years, and that he had become so powerful, because it had something to do with Cedric.
It's not that he looks down on Alvin as a high-level alchemist, but in Arliga's top-level mage circle, it is recognized that Sidrik is the genius who is most likely to become the next holy mage!
He is also a recognized madman, and only he can turn the impossible into a possibility......
Then, the two men quickly changed the subject, and neither seemed to be willing to mention Cedric's name.
"So Archmage Douglas, since Yin Shengzhi can't take the bait, what should we do next?"
50 million interest-free loans, they are definitely not willing to take it out.
just wanted Yin Shengzhi to agree, breach the contract with West, and then they turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone, so that Yin Shengzhi's bamboo basket was empty.
Of course, they are mainly aimed at the people of the Eastern Consortium!
"If this Yin Shengzhi is not fooled, then he can only think of other ways. Contact the legislators of several other states, and the bill from the east must not be passed by them......"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"That archmage is called, Douglas, and he's a very old archmage. By the way, it is said that Bashak is his agent in the Mage Society......"
On the way back to the hotel with Yin Shengzhi, Dick introduced the situation to Yin Shengzhi.
"Is there a big quarrel between the Eastern Consortium and the Western Consortium?"
Yin Shengzhi asked, and did not continue to ask about Glass. Dick didn't know much about mages.
But when it comes to this, she knows it very clearly.
"Of course, the divergent interests of the two sides are just too great. Our western side is mainly minerals and agriculture, while the eastern side is mostly factory owners and bankers.
The east wants us to provide cheap enough agricultural products and production materials, but our side prefers to export...... The price of exporting these things is much higher than selling them to the east.
And then there are the indigenous slaves, almost all of whom are with us. On the plantations and in the mines, there were large numbers of indigenous slaves, some of whom had been passed down for five or six generations.
In the east, more people need to work in the factories.
Damn it, can you imagine working in those damn sweatshops and barely living for three years to exhaust people to death......
They squeeze people to death in pursuit of that pitiful profit.
And we are different, although we are serfs, but after all, we are our own property.
Can you imagine killing your own possessions at will? Would you kill your own cattle and sheep at will? Would you leave the horses ploughing the fields without enough to feed them?
Of course we won't do that, but the nouveau riche in the east will do anything for the money!
And when the economy is down, they will drive those people out and leave them to fend for themselves......
In fact, that guy Darnell doesn't have a good opinion in our west, thinking that this guy is too similar to those nouveau riche in the east!
You can still see demonstrations in our place, but in the east, there's no such thing, you know? People are driven into the streets to fend for themselves without any use. ”
Speaking of Arliga's disagreement, Dick couldn't help but get excited. After all, she was also born and raised in the west, so she doesn't say it intellectually, but emotionally she is biased towards the west.
Yin Shengzhi thought that it seemed that the differences between Alliga and the East were really serious. Even Dick, such a pragmatic woman who worships money and power, is dissatisfied with the East......
For Yin Shengzhi, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!
Although Yin Shengzhi wants to form an alliance with Alliga, he wants to form an alliance with the expansionists in the east, and he wants to use the power of Arliga.
However, in Yin Shengzhi's deep heart, he still has a deep fear of such a powerful Alliga.
There are internal contradictions in Arliga, and that's a good thing.
But in the short to medium term, Daqi needs the power of Alliga to help Daqi develop and protect Daqi from the attacks of the Eastern Wa.
And Alliga's internal constraints, if too large, are likely to affect such a point.
However, these calculations will not be revealed.
Dick also knew that his emotions were a little excited, so he quickly restrained himself and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Mage Association is also very affected by the dispute between the East and the West, and the headquarters of the Mage Association has been wanting to relocate from Eureka all these years, and that's why......"
Yin Shengzhi said with a smile: "It seems that we can't stay in the west for long, this side is not very friendly to us." We'd better get to Lufadan as soon as possible! You don't have any problem with the east, do you?"
Dick threw a wink at Yin Shengzhi and said with a smile: "Although I don't like those nouveau riche in the east, I have to say that they are more energetic and powerful, and the country is being controlled by them." So, if you really want to develop in Arliga, you still have to get close to those eastern guys!"
Yin Shengzhi did what he said, and within a few days, he left Eureka with most of the men and horses and headed for Lu Fadan.
It is the largest and most prosperous city in Alliga, and of course it can also be said to be the base camp of the Eastern Consortium.
Originally, the people of Daqi already thought that Eureka was prosperous enough, but when they arrived at this Lu Fadan, they saw what real prosperity was.
This is a completely different kind of prosperity from Eureka, which is a heavy industrial city, various mineral smelting factories, and countless trains coming and going.
In Lufadan, there are skyscrapers, standing one after another. Coupled with the flow of people and the endless flow of traffic.
A city made up of countless bright glass windows and a dazzling variety of goods!
In Eureka, Chen Ximing felt that he had reached heaven, and in Lu Fadan, he didn't know how to describe it, it was a paradise among heavens.
Chen Ximing and other governors and sons all feel like this, not to mention other people in Daqi, this is a huge gap in material civilization, and the gap is enough to shock anyone's heart!
