As the current ruler of the Ocean Country, Xin Yu naturally has to consider the long-term development of the Ocean Country. Therefore, although Xin Yu decided to spread some of the technology to other countries, it was just to stimulate the entire people of the maritime country to know what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace and form a good and progressive atmosphere. And it is impossible to really contribute to one's own old capital, although it seems to be a bit of "international, international, righteous" greatness, but after all, it is not the norm.

In addition, the so-called easy to get will not be cherished, even if Xin Yu handed over the existing technology of the maritime country to other countries, I think that except for the rulers of various countries who may attach great importance to the technology in the field of "military" technology, the rest, it is not that they do not pay attention to it, at least the enthusiasm for research will not be too high...... For Xin Yu, on the one hand, it is impossible to pose a "threat" to the maritime country, and on the other hand, it is impossible to promote the development of the civilization of the whole society, especially the scientific civilization.

Something that didn't meet Xin Yu's original intention, he would never be interested in doing it. If you want to say that Xin Yu's feelings for the Ocean Country, there are still some. After all, this is a foundation he built from scratch, and even if he wants to be a "loser", he will not be so irrational.

Moreover, although the maritime country can be said to be the private property of the royal family, no society, no matter how small the organizational structure, can really be decided by the leader or ruler alone...... Although Xin Yu has absolute prestige in the Sea Country, fundamentally speaking, it is impossible for Xin Yu to let everyone's thoughts act according to his command.

In other words, although Xin Yu can use a strong executive order to spread the technology of the maritime country, his actions are harming the interests of a considerable number of people after all. Even if the technology he decided to spread out was not a particularly sensitive technology for the Sea Country, even if the formation of these technologies was mostly due to Xin Yu's ideas...... That is to say, strictly speaking, most of the current technologies of the maritime country are brought by Xin Yu, and the patents of these technologies belong to Xin Yu, whether it is logically or legally.

However, these technologies have taken root in all walks of life in the Ocean Country, and at the beginning, Xin Yu had already sold these technologies, although it was not a sell-out sale, but as the users of the technology, it was impossible for the merchants of the Ocean Country to agree to Xin Yu to give these technologies to other countries for free.

Or even by selling...... Although this is Xin Yu's only, it will eventually hurt the interests and feelings of the major merchants of the Ocean Country.

In addition, there is a particularly sensitive issue, that is, although the maritime royal family has the right to dictate everything, legally speaking, the maritime state is still the largest in the constitution. When Xin Yu was "enthusiastic" in formulating the country's fundamentals, the first article was to list the interests of maritime countries as minefields that could not be touched at all, and any behavior that violated and harmed the interests of the country would be treason.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of the Maritime State, with the efforts of the royal family represented by Xin Yu and the entire official system, this law has been an iron law deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Speaking of which, it is precisely because of the strict implementation of this clause by Xin Yu and the ruling class of the entire maritime country that the entire maritime country has firmly safeguarded national interests from top to bottom, and has formed a common social value like a cultural ideology.

Seriously speaking, this is a very good phenomenon, after all, the maritime country itself has no history, if it is not possible to unite the entire international people in the form of law and consciously safeguard the interests of the new country and group of the maritime state, perhaps the maritime state will be long gone.

After the establishment of the Ocean Country, because Xin Yu's construction strategy was right, and it far exceeded the scientific and technological level of other countries and even the entire continent, the Ocean Country had a strong competitiveness. In this way, the ocean country has a very strong ability to absorb money, and in order to allow the citizens of the entire ocean country to share the benefits of development, Xin Yu is willing to invest in a series of aspects such as public construction.

In this way, it also indirectly makes all the people of the whole country feel the existence of the "state" and uphold this regulation even more.

However, although Xin Yu's actions did not seem to be inappropriate, they ultimately harmed the interests of the entire maritime country...... There is no doubt about it, at least on the surface, Xin Yu betrayed his origins. If we look at it from a long-term perspective, with the motivation to be caught up, the development speed of the maritime countries will only be faster.

Just like the "catfish effect" known to Xin Yu in his previous life, with the pressure of being chased by others, the people of the maritime country will be willing to invest more in the research and development of science and technology. In this way, the urgency of research by "official institutions" can be further promoted...... After all, being surpassed by the folk is really not a glorious thing.

However, Xin Yu's "strategy" is indeed good. Moreover, because the ability of the ocean country to absorb gold is too terrifying, it has now absorbed almost the vast majority of the precious metal currencies of several nearby countries, although because of the inconvenience of transportation links on the entire continent, the ocean country has not been able to "dump" the entire world island, so that several nearby countries have formed a considerable part of the "agents" and "compradors".

But the real wealth, that is, these agents who buy and sell the products of the maritime countries, the financial and private wealth of the surrounding countries is like being attracted by half of the maritime countries. It seems that the country of Bekai Sea is very wealthy at the moment, and because the level of industry is very high, the wealth generated has not affected the lives of the people...... In other words, there is no so-called inflation because the total amount of money is huge, much more than the gross domestic product.

However, because the maritime countries have not yet entered the point of credit currency...... On the one hand, it is because the precious metal reserves of the maritime countries themselves are too "abundant", and in terms of the "demand" for currency, there is not the main contradiction at present. On the other hand, the maritime country is too "weak", in addition to wealth and naval strength, it is estimated that on the entire continent, it is possible to rank last. In this way, there is no influence on how other countries can recognize the credit currency issued by the maritime state...... That is, paper money.

It is impossible for even merchants of various countries who are in dire need of obtaining various products from the maritime countries to approve of money made of some paper and "scavenge" their wealth. Even people who no longer have an IQ will not think that heavy gold and silver coins are equivalent to a piece of "waste paper".

People in other countries do not recognize the credit currency of the maritime countries, so for the maritime countries with a "foreign trade-oriented" economy, it is bound to have some impact on the domestic issuance of paper money...... It is true that the maritime countries issue credit currencies similar to paper money, and they are also very active in private economic exchanges. Strictly speaking, however, this system of paper money can only be regarded as a "voucher" type, like a bearer check, which is different from credit currency...... In the era of credit money, precious metals such as gold and silver were just a kind of goods and could not be used as money in themselves.

Just like Xin Yu's previous life, on the earth, although gold is still a hard currency traded between various countries, for personal consumption, even if the various troubles of using gold for settlement are excluded, it is essentially an illegal act.

In the maritime country, although Xin Yu has absolute authority and can forcibly require all domestic transactions to be settled in paper money, there is no perfect monitoring system, and it is difficult to use gold and silver currency as "foreign exchange". In this way, we can only implement the current nondescript economic and monetary policy.

It is precisely because in essence, the financial and monetary policy of the Ocean Country is only a scheme for the simultaneous circulation of paper money on the gold standard or silver standard, so when Xin Yu was "bribing" to elect the position of permanent director of the Star Alliance, he consumed a lot of silver and gold at once, which also relieved the pressure of inflation and currency depreciation of the Ocean Country to a certain extent.

However, with the passage of time, the development of the maritime countries in the past six years has been unstoppable, and the accumulation and even "backlog" of gold, silver and precious metals have a tendency to increase.

This is a very dangerous sign. Internally, because when the quantity of money is greater than the gross domestic product...... Especially in an economy and society with extremely developed industry and commerce, such as the maritime country, there is a rudimentary financial market...... There is a high probability that this will cause a serious economic crisis. Even if there are some people who are "not right-minded", they can still see the inevitable loopholes in the financial policies of the maritime countries, and carry out currency speculation, which will have a great negative impact on the economic environment of the maritime countries.

Now that Xin Yu has spread some of the "advanced" technologies owned by the maritime countries, it is bound to make most of the enterprises in the ocean, especially the industries that have been impacted by it, increase their efforts in research and updating technology. This is also a method of "redistribution" of social wealth, which can be regarded as a "soft landing" for the economic development of the maritime countries, and to be precise, to guide the funds of various industries of the maritime countries to other fields.

It is really because Xin Yu has seen the benefits of diffusion technology, although it may cause "pain" for the maritime countries for a period of time, but in the long run, it is of very positive significance for the development of the maritime countries. Therefore, although Xin Yu had some headaches about how to explain to the people, and it caused social unrest in the entire maritime country, he still actively prepared a technology exhibition...... The exhibition will not only be open to the people of the maritime countries, but will also be allowed to enter for the first time.

But when Xin Yu decided to use public opinion to guide and convene various chambers of commerce in the maritime country to discuss and negotiate, and solve the problem of technology proliferation in such a two-pronged way, an unfortunate news came.

As mentioned earlier, because the maritime countries have a powerful and unrivaled navy, they have opened up many overseas territories in the entire open sea, and they occupy countless small islands, even large island "enclaves" with an area of 100,000 square kilometers, and there are many others.

And the sad news came from these overseas territories. I don't know if it's a natural phenomenon unique to this world, just like the ocean climate on the earth in Xin Yu's previous life, the oceans of this world are not calm and gentle animals.

In previous lives, even the Pacific Ocean, the mildest of the world, had a series of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis that could not be resisted by manpower. And the ocean of this world itself is a whole, although the ocean country is named after the ocean, but whether it is from the level of science and technology or from the level of astrology, it is impossible to conquer the ocean, at least at this stage.

Even in anticipating possible dangers in the oceans, the technical capabilities of maritime States have not reached that level...... Therefore, just when Xin Yu was full of ambition to inject new impetus into the maritime country, natural disasters occurred unexpectedly.

Speaking of Xin Yu's carelessness, although the ocean country has been invaded by various marine disasters from time to time over the years, because Xin Yu was prepared from the beginning, he built countless public facilities such as "flood control embankments", "wave embankments", "windbreaks" and so on with the highest standards, but the highest standards in his imagination were only designed with the parameters on the earth.

In other words, Xin Yu did not carry out effective prevention according to the degree of disaster in this world. Moreover, because the people of this world do not have sufficient understanding of the ocean. In history, there are few documents that record marine disasters, so many years have passed, and the ocean country has always been "calm", which makes Xin Yu think that his design is fruitful, and he does not take into account at all, and there are also the so-called "rare encounters in ten years", "once in a hundred years" and other major climate abrupt changes.

And this disaster is because the oceans of this world are "angry". It seems to be a response to the ocean country's self-conscious challenge to the ocean, and it also seems to be mocking Xin Yu's carelessness. In short, the hurricane, tsunami, and earthquake all went into battle and destroyed more than 60 maritime countries at once, with a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.

As for the losses, if they are expressed in nature, they cannot be counted at all. Because these more than 60 were destroyed by the tsunami and hurricane almost immediately, that is, almost nothing was left. Even if the maritime country has a complete file management, it will not be able to accurately calculate the loss for a while.

The data that can be counted at the moment are about the population and fixed assets. But the loss of these two aspects alone was enough for Xin Yu to be sad.

There are 60 of them, although some of them are not enough in terms of area and level of development, but in total, the population has lost more than one million at once, and the fixed assets are nearly 100 million taels of silver. This is the loss of nearly one-fifth of the total population of the maritime kingdom in terms of population, and one-tenth of the total value of wealth
