Chapter 2198:

When the Western Empire wanted to expand its own navy divisions, they all expressed this to their lips. In fact, their real actions were not very big. This was mainly due to two reasons, one Because of the financial situation of the Western Empire, they no longer have that much money. Although a series of measures have been taken, the navy is definitely a money-burning business, just like the warship they are now equipped with. , The above twelve war crossbows plus the ship itself, it takes about 300,000 silver to come out. This is still the case when a series of things such as wood have not risen, as long as one of the things is increased in price However, this price is absolutely impossible to win. The other is the performance of the navy of the Western Empire in the war. They did not expect such a thing to happen. In their opinion, such a thing is simply impossible. It has appeared, but the actual situation has really appeared, and what has appeared is still very powerful. People in Cao's Commercial Bank can say that their warships are useless. Although they don't want to admit this, in fact? They have to admit this, because their navy’s first opponent was from the Cao’s House of Business. They spent so much money to get this thing out, but in the end, what did we get? It can be said that we didn't get anything. In the end, everything we got was shame. Moreover, the people of the Western Empire felt that the navy was not as good as the giant crossbow. This thing created a lot for the Cao's merchants. Difficult, it's all about spending money anyway.
In fact, for the navy of the Cao’s House of Business, the navy of the other empires is not very good. He knows exactly how much combat power they have. Li Cong knows this matter best. It is simply impossible for such a Gula's things to fight against us, but we can't give you our things. In the past, you didn't have the expense of a navy. Maybe people who are not very dependent on Cao's business for financial matters. But now you should all understand. Li Cong has another plan to let the navy of the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire have a conflict. He thinks that the naval forces of the two empires are equivalent in combat power. Close, anyway, this time I was in a time of recuperation. You should go to war. But now the Southern Empire has been repaired by itself. If the navy of the southern empire were to fight with the western empire, there might be a lot of uncertainties about things, and maybe the eastern empire was angry at this time. Sending your own army over may destroy the southern empire. Although the border between the two empires is not very large, now the southern empire is in a state of failure, and the eastern empire is almost restored. In the past few years, the Cao’s business firm also lost a lot of money, but the area of ​​the Eastern Empire was relatively large. For this reason, the speed of recovery was also very fast. The other three The Great Empire is not his opponent. If this is the case, the Northern Empire should be pulled into the water. Li Cong has been in the house for a long time, just to see if he can kill their fire. Pulled up, neither the Northern Empire nor the Eastern Empire was injured.
Basically, neither of these two empires suffered any losses. When other empires were fighting, they were stubbornly developing, especially the Northern Empire, which had not encountered any major issues from the beginning. , Cao’s business in the northern empire also has a good relationship with them. They didn’t want to occupy the wealth of Cao’s business like other empires, but when you don’t count me, I have to count you. Recently, some strengths in the Northern Empire have also released words, saying that the Northern Empire should now be able to make other empires take a step back. Their strength is already very powerful. Originally, this matter had little to do with Li Cong. , What you are willing to say is your own business, but it has nothing to do with us, but there is another question, why do you people change your tone after the trouble, you people start to pay attention to other things Something happened. For example, Cao’s house of business delayed the development of your northern empire. Li Cong saw it very clearly before. None of these four empires are friends of his own. If you want to rise, your allies are It is very important, but it seems that they will always be their enemy, and these people did not regard themselves as their allies. The reason why the Northern Empire retreated was mostly because of the huge benefits. In their opinion, the talents of the Western Empire are fools. Although you have gained a lot of territory, you have also suffered a lot of losses. Look at you now, and what is the area of ​​our Northern Empire. It’s not expanded, but we didn’t have any losses. Those who have gained a large amount of interest are much better than you.
According to the intelligence department of the Cao’s House of Business, the Northern Empire will return the principal and interest to the Cao’s House of approximately 16 trillion taels of silver this year, of which three trillion is from the Northern Empire government, and the rest are private individuals. For borrowing, after the Northern Empire government paid back this amount, they would lose hundreds of billions of silver next year. If this development continues, they won’t have a loan from the Cao Family Commercial Bank in a few decades, of course. In recent years, they will repay the people of Cao’s House of Business, and they can also take some, but in any case, the loan of Cao’s House of Business has turned out to be a real thing for the Northern Empire to help them. The reason why Li would encourage them to take out loans from the beginning is to use debts to control them. Who knows that they have really helped them now. This thing is not so good. How could we do this? The thing is, if there is no crisis in a large empire, it is very easy to develop quickly, especially like these relatively large empires. They can stand up quickly even if they are injured. What's more, these countries that haven't risen yet, they all understand very well, so this matter must be mixed by the people of the Northern Empire. If you go in, otherwise, the people of the Northern Empire will become stronger in the future, and the people of Cao’s House of Business must not be allowed to enter this time. Cao’s House of Business will still do some military business. Naturally, things like serial crossbows cannot be sold, but things like grenades can be sold. Anyway, if this thing exploded, there was nothing left. It is 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. It was the rise of maritime trade. Although maritime trade has been around for several years. However, the Northern Empire’s own shipping business was underdeveloped. The ships of the Eastern Empire basically took on more than 90% of the transactions between the two parties, and the people of the Cao’s House of Commerce took on 90% of the 90%. It can be said that the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire Most of China’s ocean-going transactions are controlled by Cao’s family of firms. But Cao’s commercial firms also understand this principle. They can’t make all of their money, so they will release part of their goods regularly. Cao’s commercial firms require the merchants of the two empires to buy them themselves. The goods I delivered, you also get the goods from me. After you go out, how you are willing to buy is your business. For this reason, Cao’s house still has a foothold in this place. In the past, the Northern Empire The people in "don’t know what is called the foot world, but now you understand it. The foot world means a piece of land rented out on your territory. This place has nothing to do with your country, even if it is The people here can only be dealt with by the people of the Cao's House of Business. At the beginning, the people of the Northern Empire didn't understand why. Their coastal governor used 8 million taels of silver to sell this place, about 20,000 square meters. For a kilometer of land, the rent is two million taels of silver per year, and they are right. There was nothing in the past, but now so much money, isn’t it making money?
Every year I earn 2 million taels of silver to the court, and I can also get 500,000 taels of silver. This governor also feels that he has done this very well, and other people basically think so. They are not fools, they always feel that something is wrong with this, but even if they don’t know what to say, they can’t detect it. They want to provoke a war between these two countries. Li Cong is going to start from this place. There are a lot of guests from the Eastern Empire who came with ships here. These people want to do a good business. The people in Cao’s house are responsible for transportation. Such work will be done by people in Cao’s house. It does, but the charges are very high. Some small local merchants have their own ships. They will pick up the goods from Cao’s Commercial Bank and these people at sea. When they arrive, they will carry out the next step of distribution. That's why there is a price difference with the price when it leaves the factory. In fact, this is a very normal business practice. If people do business without profit, why do they do this? Everyone is not doing charity. At the beginning, the merchants of the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire could get along peacefully, but there will always be one who will take advantage of the business, and the other will suffer, because the people of the Eastern Empire They often come to this place, so they earn more. The rich is the uncle. They also bully the people of the Northern Empire here. Since they want to provoke things, they must I have found one of them. As long as the troubles arise, the people at Cao's house are not afraid of the troubles. Of course, the bigger the better.
There were no people in Lahasana port before. In the past few years, it has suddenly become a city with a population of 3 million. It was built on the coast, and it is a distance from the port in the northern part of the Eastern Empire. It has been about two years, and this is calculated according to the speed of each ship of their two empires. Their fastest speed is only a dozen kilometers per hour, which is definitely too slow, Cao's firm. Ships can already reach a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, so if everyone in Cao's House wants to go back and forth once, it will only take a few months. However, the people in Cao’s house are all based on giving others a bite. The distribution center of Cao’s house is on a small island about forty kilometers outside the city. The area is not very large, about a few hundred square kilometers. After being thrown there, the Cao’s House of Commerce will use some local ships to transport to the mainland. The reason why it is so troublesome is that there will be a lot of people on the mainland who want to give their ideas, although they are from the Cao’s House of Commerce. It is already very careful, the force is also very powerful, but it is nothing to those people. What they want to do will follow their own will. There is absolutely no one who is in charge of what the people of Cao's house would think. If these people do things, they will be very good. They will do some extreme things in normal times, let alone. The government of the Northern Empire still doesn't know what it will do. So there is 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 in the two squadrons of Cao's Commercial Bank. The current ability of the Northern Empire is absolutely impossible to defeat. It can only be seen.
At present, there are about hundreds of thousands of people from the Eastern Empire in Lahasana Port. These people are either some large merchants in the Eastern Empire or the royal merchants of the Eastern Empire. These people are responsible for purchasing some things in the Northern Empire. Let the people of Cao’s House of Commodities transport them back. This kind of business has also started in the past two years. In the past, they all bought Cao’s House of Commodities directly from the Eastern Empire, but in that case, profits would fall by a hundred. Thirty percent, Cao’s family firm didn’t want this kind of thing to be done at the beginning, but later found out that its own profit would be guaranteed very well. Anyway, it’s just responsible for the transportation. What do you buy and sell? None of them have much to do with us, and the people at Cao’s Commercial Bank have also opened so-called insurance businesses. As long as you are insured, if these things go wrong, the people at Cao’s Commercial Bank will be responsible for them, 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 unwilling to do this. They thought that as long as they were optimistic about it, nothing would happen. But later, after several incidents happened in succession, they understood. It turns out that this society is really not that good. They can only accept this incident, and they all started to give it to Cao's business. People are insured. Anyway, the insurance money is not very expensive. We don’t even need to follow. As long as something happens, the people from Cao’s Commercial Bank will take the initiative to give us the money. If such a thing happens If you don't do it yet, there is really a problem in your mind. This also makes some local escorts anxious. They have nothing to do, and then they all become gangsters.
In the past, this kind of business should be something that the board should do. Does it have anything to do with the people in the Cao family firm? You are smashing our jobs by doing this~EbookFREE.me~Don't let us eat So, the local escorts team up and often trouble with some merchant ships of the Cao’s house. If the government forces in other areas can be said to be enough to kill them, it’s not possible in this place, although This is already a large city with a population of several million, but in the imperial court, the establishment here is a county seat. There are only how many people there are in this county seat. Those who are fully budgeted means that there are thousands of government officials. The Empire’s army has tens of thousands of people here, but they basically don’t care about such things. Besides, when they do things, they will give these guys in the army a lot of money one by one. Yes, after receiving money from others, how come out to make trouble? They all understand things like this very well. If they don’t understand things like this, they can only say that they don’t understand anything. These people used to deal with government officials frequently, so they are better than Cao on this matter. Everyone in the house and business firm must be clear. Since you groups made us unclear in the past, Li Cong is ready to do this from them. The plan is very simple. It is to use these people to rob some important goods of the Eastern Empire, or to kidnap some of their more powerful people, so that at the beginning, it is a small fight, and the people of the Eastern Empire may not say anything. But Li Cong knew that there would be a good deal in the future, and they would have received it by then. At that time, they would have fun. The two empires are tumbling up, and it is strange that he does not make a fortune? (To be continued...)
