Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the Western Empire wants to expand its own navy, they usually talk about it. In fact, their real actions are not very big. This is mainly due to two reasons. One is  It is because of the financial situation of the Western Empire that they no longer have that much money. Although they have taken a series of measures, the navy is definitely a money-burning business, just like the warships they equip now.  , the twelve war crossbows above plus the ship itself cost about three hundred thousand silver each. This was only when a series of things such as wood did not rise. If the price of just one of these things increased,  If so, it is absolutely impossible to get this price. The other is the performance of the Western Empire's navy in the war. They did not expect such a thing to happen. In their opinion, such a thing is simply impossible.  Appeared, but the actual situation did occur, and it was very powerful. People from the Cao Family Trading Company could say that their warships were useless. Although they did not want to admit this, what was the reality?  They have to admit this, because their first naval opponent was the people from the Cao Family Trading Company. They spent so much money to get this thing out, but what did we get in the end?  It can be said that we got nothing, and all we got in the end was humiliation. Moreover, the people in the Western Empire felt that the navy was not as good as making giant crossbows. This thing made a lot of things for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company.  Difficult, it costs money anyway.  .  Why can't we make something that is relatively useful to us? If it is useless, it will be considered successful.  People in the Western Empire are also smart and cannot do stupid things.

    In fact, for the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company, the navy of other major empires are not enough to see. I know how much combat effectiveness they have. Li Cong knows this matter best. You can use  It is simply impossible to fight us with such Gula's things, but we can't give our things to you. In the past, you didn't have the expenses of a navy.  Maybe they are not very dependent on the Cao Family Trading Company for financial matters.  But now you should all understand that Li Cong also has a plan to have a conflict between the navies of the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire. He believes that the naval combat capabilities of the two empires are quite equal.  It's close. Anyway, I am in a period of recuperation at this time.  You should be allowed to start a war.  But now the Southern Empire has been badly repaired by itself.  If the navy of the Southern Empire were to fight with the Western Empire, things might be a little uncertain. Maybe the Eastern Empire would be angry at this time.  Sending your own army may destroy the Southern Empire. Although the border between their two empires is not very big, the Southern Empire is now in a state of defeat, while the Eastern Empire has almost recovered.  Although a lot of people were lost due to the Cao Family Trading Company in the past few years, the area of ??the Eastern Empire is relatively large. For this reason, the people's recovery speed is also very fast. The other three  None of the big empires are his rivals. If this is the case, the Northern Empire should be dragged into the water. Li Cong has been in the room for a long time, just to see if he can put their anger out.  After being pulled up, both the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire were uninjured.

    Both of their empires basically suffered no losses. When the other empires were fighting, they were busy developing. Especially the Northern Empire, which had never encountered any major problems from the beginning. Besides,  , the Cao Family Trading Company in the Northern Empire also has a relatively good relationship with them, and they don't want to occupy the wealth of the Cao Family Trading Company like other empires. But when you don't count on me, I have to count on you.  Recently, some forces in the Northern Empire have also spoken out, saying that the Northern Empire should be able to make other empires take a step back now. Their strength is already very strong. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Cong.  , whatever you want to say is your own business, and it has nothing to do with us. But there is another question, why did you people change your tone after the quarrel? You people started to pay attention to other things.  Something has happened, for example, the Cao Family Trading Company has delayed the development of your Northern Empire. Li Cong has seen it clearly before. None of the four empires are his friends. If he wants to rise, although his allies are  It is very important, but it seems that I will always be their enemy, and these people do not regard themselves as their allies. Most of the reasons why the Northern Empire retreated in the first place was because they received huge benefits.  In their view, the people of the Western Empire are fools. Although you have gained a lot of territory, you have also suffered a lot of losses. Just look at you now and you will know that although our Northern Empire has a territorial area of  There is no expansion??, but we did not suffer any losses and gained a large amount of interest, which is much better than you.

    According to information from the Cao Family Commercial Bank¡¯s intelligence department, the principal and interest that the Northern Empire will repay to the Cao Family Commercial Bank this year is about 16 trillion taels of silver, of which three trillion taels of silver belong to the Northern Empire government, and the rest are from private individuals.  After the Northern Empire government repays this loan, they will have to pay back hundreds of billions of silver next year. If this continues, they will not have loans from the Cao Family Commercial Bank in a few decades. Of course  , they will pay it back to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company over the years, and they may also accept some, but in any case, the loans from the Cao Family Trading Company have actually become something that really helps them for the Northern Empire.  The reason why Li Cong encouraged them to take loans in the first place was because he wanted to control them with debts. Who knew that he would actually help them now? This is not a good thing. How could we do this?  The thing is, if there is no crisis for a large empire, it is very easy to develop quickly, especially like these relatively large empires in front of us.  Even if they are injured, they can stand up quickly, not to mention these countries that have not yet risen. They all understand very well, so this time the people of the Northern Empire must be involved in this matter.  Go in, otherwise, the people in the Northern Empire will become more powerful in the future, and people from the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely not be allowed to get involved this time. The Cao Family Trading Company also needs to do some military business.  Naturally, things like serial crossbows cannot be sold, but things like grenades can be sold.  Anyway, if this thing explodes, there will be nothing left.  It's not easy for them to imitate grenades on this planet.

    Lahasana Port can be said to be the closest port to the Eastern Empire in the southeast of the Northern Empire. In the past, it was basically a deserted place, but now it has become one of the largest cities in the southeast of the Northern Empire. The reason  It was the rise of maritime trade.  Although maritime trade has been around for several years.  But the Northern Empire's own shipping business is not very developed.  The ships of the Eastern Empire were basically responsible for more than 90% of the transactions between the two parties, and the people of the Cao Family Trading Company were responsible for 90% of the 90%. It can be said that the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire  Most of the country's ocean-going transactions are controlled by the Cao Family Trading Firm.  But the Cao Family Trading Company also understands this truth. They cannot make all the money themselves, so they will still release part of the goods regularly. The Cao Family Trading Company requires merchants from the two empires to buy these goods.  When I deliver the goods, you also get the goods from me. After you go out, it¡¯s up to you how you want to buy them. For this reason, the Cao Family Trading Company still has a foothold here. In the past, the Northern Empire  People in the world don¡¯t know what a football world is at all, but now they understand that a football world is a piece of land rented out on your territory. This place has nothing to do with your country. Even if it is  If people here kill people, they can only be handled by people from the Cao Family Trading Company. At first, the people in the Northern Empire didn't understand why, but their coastal governor sold this place for 8 million taels of silver, which was about 20,000 square meters.  The rent for a kilometer of land is two million taels per year. They are right. There was nothing in the past, but now with so much money, isn't it a profit?

    I earn 2 million taels of silver for the court every year, and I can also get 500,000 taels of silver myself. The governor also feels that he has done a very good job in this matter. Basically, other people think the same way. They all think so.  They are not fools. They always feel that something is wrong about this matter, but they don't know what to say, and they can't notice it. If they want to provoke a war between the two countries, Li Cong is ready to start from this place.  , there are many guests from the Eastern Empire who came here with the ships. These people all want to make a good deal. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company are responsible for transportation. People in the Cao Family Trading Company know how to do this kind of work.  We do it, but the fees are very high. Some local small businessmen have their own ships. They will pick up the goods from the Cao Family Trading Company and these people at sea, and then carry out the next step of distribution when they arrive at the local area.  That is why there is a price difference compared to the price when it leaves the factory. In fact, this is a very normal business behavior. If there is no profit for people to do business, why would they do this?  None of us are philanthropic. At the beginning, these merchants from the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire could live in peace, but when doing business, there will always be one who takes advantage and the other who suffers, because the people from the Eastern Empire  They all come to this place often, so they earn more. If you have money, you are the boss. They also bully many people in the Northern Empire here. If you want to stir up trouble, you have to follow them.  If one of them comes out, as long as things get noisy, our Cao family willMost people are not afraid of how big this thing will get. Of course, the bigger the better.

    There used to be no people in Lahasana Port. In the past few years, it has suddenly turned into a city with a population of three million. It was all built on the seaside, which is far away from the port in the northern part of the Eastern Empire.  It takes about nearly two years. This is calculated based on the speed of each ship of their two empires. Their fastest speed is only more than ten kilometers per hour. It is definitely too slow. The Cao Family Trading Company  Ships can already reach speeds of more than 70 kilometers per hour, so if everyone in the Cao Family Trading Company wants to make a round trip, it will only take a few months.  However, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are all based on giving others a bite to eat. The distribution center of the Cao Family Trading Company is on a small island about 40 kilometers outside the city. The area is not very large, about a few hundred square kilometers. The goods  After throwing it there, the Cao Family Trading Company will use some local ships to transport it to the mainland. The reason why it is so troublesome is that they are afraid that there will be many people on the mainland who want to take advantage of them, even though they are people from the Cao Family Trading Company.  They have been very careful, and the force is also very powerful, but it is nothing to those people.  Whatever they want to do will come according to their own will.  Absolutely no one cares what the people in the Cao Family Trading Company think. These people will be very powerful if they do something. They usually do some extreme things, besides.  The government of the Northern Empire doesn't know what it will do yet.  So it is okay to have such a buffer zone.  Don't look at it, it's only a few dozen kilometers away from the coastline, but there are hundreds of warships from the Cao Family Trading Company's two squadrons there. It is absolutely impossible to defeat the Northern Empire with its current ability.  You can only watch.

    There are about hundreds of thousands of people from the Eastern Empire inside Lahasana Port. These people are either some big businessmen from the Eastern Empire or royal merchants from the Eastern Empire. These people are responsible for purchasing some things in the Northern Empire, and then  Let people from the Cao Family Trading Company transport it back. This kind of business has also started to flourish in the past two years. In the past, they would buy the Cao Family Trading Company's goods directly from the Eastern Empire, but in that case the profits would drop by hundreds.  Thirty percent, Cao's Trading Company didn't want to do such a thing at first, but later found that its profits would be guaranteed very well. Anyway, I would just be responsible for transportation, and I would sell whatever I bought.  None of them have much to do with us, and the people at Cao's Commercial Bank have also opened a so-called insurance business. As long as you are insured, if anything goes wrong with these things, we, the Cao's Commercial Bank, will be responsible for it. But if  If you don't have insurance, then I'm sorry. You can only be responsible for it. At the beginning, many people were not willing to do this. They thought that as long as their own people were careful, nothing would happen.  But later, after several incidents happened one after another, they finally understood that this society was really not that good, so they had no choice but to accept this incident, and one by one they began to give in to the Cao Family Trading Company.  People are insured, and the insurance money each time is not that expensive anyway. We don¡¯t even need people to follow us. As long as something happens, people from their Cao Family Trading Company will take the initiative to give us the money. If something like this happens,  If you don't do it, you really have a problem in your head. This also made some local escort agencies anxious. They had nothing to do, and then they all turned into gangsters.

    In the past, this kind of business should be what other people's escort agencies should do. Does it have anything to do with you people from the Cao family business? If you do this, you are destroying our jobs and not letting us have enough to eat. So the local  The escorts team up and often cause trouble for some merchant ships of the Cao Family Trading Company. If in other areas the government's power can be said to be enough to kill them, it is not possible here, although there are already a number of them here.  It is a large city with a population of one million, but according to the imperial court, the establishment here is that of a county. Only how many people are there in the county. The only thing that can be counted is that there are thousands of government officials. The army of the Northern Empire is here.  There are tens of thousands of people, but they basically don't care about such things. Besides, when those people want to do things, they will give a lot of money to these guys in the army one by one, and take their money.  If you have money, why would you come out to cause trouble?  They all understand such things very well. If they don't understand such things, it can only be said that they don't understand anything. These people used to often deal with the government, so they are more concerned about this matter than Cao Cao.  Everyone in the family business must know that since it was you groups that caused us confusion in the past, Li Cong is also going to start doing this from them. You are going to take the blame. Li Cong's  The plan is very simple. It is to use these people to rob some important goods of the Eastern Empire, or to kidnap their more powerful people. In this way, it will be a small fuss at the beginning, and the people of the Eastern Empire may not be able to do it.?What to say, but Li Cong knew that there would be a good deal next, and then they would be the ones to suffer, and then they would be happy. When the two empires are in trouble, is it strange that he does not get rich?  (To be continued)
