Chapter 835: Economic colony

"Another way to control the entire subcontinent?"
Tim Kenan raised his eyebrows, and his head was shiny and majestic. Such an expression can inadvertently make people fearful, but this is actually only when he is curious about certain things or knowledge. That’s all.
The removal plan he proposed was a temporary idea in the past few days, and it was not thought through.
Now listening to Ren's meaning, it seems that he has been thinking about it for a long time.
Tim Kenan touched the sharp beard on his chin, obviously interested, and said, "Let's listen."
Everyone's eyes focused.
Ren first looked at the Duke of Grey Eagle and the Holy Spirit Wizards, and asked everyone, "Everyone, what do you think is the most valuable thing on the subcontinent?"
"territory."
"Territory, resources, gold."
"Of course it's territory."
The empire powerhouses answered one after another, and the answer was similar, which was obvious.
"Your answer is correct, but not entirely correct." Renn smiled, "In my opinion, territory is not the only thing that is most valuable. There are some things that are as valuable as territory, but It has always been ignored by people."
"What is it?" Duke Silver Star blurted out.
Territories can grow crops, produce food, mine minerals, gold and gems, build cities, and gather people. Almost all tangible wealth is produced from the land. She could not think of the value of anything else in the world. Can it be as high as the territory?
Not only the Silver Star Duke who loves money, everyone is full of curiosity.
"It's human."
Rehn replied, "To be precise, all intelligent races, including humans, their labor force, which I call ‘manpower’, is the most valuable thing."
"Manpower?" Everyone chewed the word.
Some people with quick brains understand vaguely, while some people are still confused. Some people wonder: "What value can those lowly races have? Ten of them can't beat the extraordinary people of an imperial legion combined."
The person speaking was a provincial governor.
He also signed up to run for the governor of the empire. He came from a nobleman and had a small-scale knight order of 500 people under his command, but he didn't make much credit in this battle.
Rehn glanced at him and sentenced him to death for his political future.
Some people are smarter. If they don't understand, they respectfully said: "Can Speaker Rennes make it clearer?"
Ren nodded, and said with a serious face: "Human power is a resource more precious than gold."
"In this world, all the things that mortals need to survive, such as food, clothes, houses, etc., must be produced and labored."
"Everyone, if you get a new territory, you must have someone if you want to grow crops, you must have someone if you want to mine, you must also build cities and houses, build roads and bridges, serve your daily life, and cultivate an extraordinary army. , No matter what, someone needs to do it."
"The labor force of the intelligent race has created all the wealth in the world."
"If there is only a territory, and no people contribute their own labor, then the territory itself has no value."
Ryan talked freely and everyone listened carefully.
Some people already understand what he meant, but some others disagree. As long as they have a territory, they can easily attract people. There are people everywhere. What is scarce?
Even if there is no one, one's own extraordinary power can do better, it's just a matter of time and efficiency.
Rehn saw the thoughts of these people, ignored them, and continued: "Everyone's labor force is different, depending on the person's knowledge, experience, and ability."
"The labor force can be improved."
"Since the establishment of the Machinery Union more than 400 years ago, the extensive use of various machinery has greatly increased the labor force of ordinary people in the empire. On average, the wealth that an empire mortal can produce is three to five times that of the past, even Ten times or more."
"In the past, a farmer had to work day and night, all year round, after deducting taxes, he could barely support himself and one or two children."
"Now a manor couple can plant a large crop of crops, easily feed five or six children, and still have some surplus for the children to enter the church to learn knowledge."
"A worker, the things he makes in the factory, such as the textile factory, the output of the cloth he spins with the machine every day, can match the cloth woven by one hundred people in the past."
"This is the increase in labor that drives the increase in wealth."
Rehn tried to use words that everyone can understand to briefly describe the concept of productivity, but most of the people present seemed to understand it.
Villien scratched his head and asked, "Rene, what does this have to do with the Kingdom of Gupta?"
Reyn smiled and replied: "There are about 50 million people in the Gupta Kingdom. The population of the entire subcontinent, all intelligent races add up to at least 2 billion, maybe even more than the imperial people." He paused. "I just said that human resources are wealth."
Hearing the words two billion, wealth, etc., the eyes of the Duke of Silver Star lit up.
But she still didn't understand how to transform manpower into wealth, and urged: "Ryan, don't show off your knowledge, just say it quickly, how can you search for wealth and control the entire subcontinent?"
"Trade," Rehn replied.
Hearing this, Tim Kenan probably guessed Ren's thoughts.
Rehn glanced at him and explained: "The labor force of the Empire is much higher than that of the subcontinent. We produce more and better things, and the cost is lower. This means that as long as the transaction is unrestricted, the Empire’s Goods will soon monopolize the entire market, overwhelming the small local workshops in the subcontinent."
"No matter which intelligent race it is, it must obtain the necessities of life through trade."
"Food, salt, clothes, agricultural fertilizers, production tools, weapons and equipment, as well as spices, luxury goods, steel, etc., everything that the imperial factory can make can be sold to the subcontinent. There are two billion people here, if they can How much profit can we make by monopolizing the entire market?"
"We can also build factories on the subcontinent, recruit cheap workers, produce locally to reduce costs, and transfer some more troublesome industries, such as pollution-causing or low-value-added industries, to the subcontinent for production, and the goods will feed back the empire. , To reduce the pressure on the empire’s manufacturing industry and get more profits."
"At the same time, it is also possible to purchase raw materials in the subcontinent at very low prices, such as various minerals, transport them back to the empire for processing, and then sell them back to the subcontinent at high prices."
"In short, the rich resources and manpower of the subcontinent should be continuously squeezed out through trade, transferred to the empire, and become our wealth."
That said, it is easy to understand.
Some people's breathing became heavy, as if they saw a huge golden mountain in front of them.
Rehn continued: "When the local labor force is overwhelmed, almost everyone will depend on the empire for their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and the empire will control the lifeblood of the subcontinent."
"Once there is a need, there is no need to send out an extraordinary person, just cut off the food supply, and any country on the subcontinent can bend its orders."
"Economic control is more stable than military occupation, with low cost, low risk, and a steady stream of profits."
"When the food and clothing of the people on the subcontinent were controlled by the empire, then even if the empire asked them to change their beliefs, it would not be difficult. The soil for the evil gods to spread their beliefs was also compressed, and their divine power would be weakened, thus achieving the goal of fighting against the evil gods. ."
"We can also use the trade position to spread the doctrine of the goddess and replace the positions of Banerko and Roche on the subcontinent."
"What do you think of this approach?" Renn asked with a smile.
Everyone in the tower hall was dumbfounded.
The Duke of Silver Star looked at Renn's eyes as if he was looking at a monster. She finally understood why Renn was so rich, earning more wealth in a few years than her in hundreds of years, and the of trade and wealth is not as good as him.
Others are also suddenly enlightened.
Everyone knows the importance of trade. In the environment of rapid development of imperial productivity, more or less money has been made, but they have not fully considered the deep role behind trade and what kind of power can be achieved.
This set of operating methods and theories seems to have opened up a new world for them.
Bang bang bang...
Tim Kenan applauded, and repeatedly admired: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! Rennes, your method is great. The theory of human resources has benefited me a lot."
"Master Duke praised." Renn smiled modestly, "It's just a few of my people's opinions."
"This is not a trivial idea. If Woking hears you, he might pick you up as his elector on the spot." Tim Kenan made a rare joke.
Woking is the of trade and wealth. His followers are numerous and widely distributed. His church has considerable influence in the human kingdom.
However, as a neutral god, his sense of existence among the gods is not high.
Ren laughed without saying a word.
Tim Kenan’s gaze is very meaningful, "Ren, tell me what you think, how to do it, I know you must have been thinking about it for a long time."
"Yes, Lord Duke."
In the expectation of everyone, Rehn said: "I propose to establish a trading company. The Empire will grant franchise rights. All trade between the Empire and the subcontinent must be conducted through this company, so that it will be convenient for scheduling. At that time, the order can be unified."
"At the same time, the Empire dispatched an extraordinary army to join the trading company, stationed in the subcontinent, to protect the safety and interests of businessmen."
"Half of the trading company's shares belong to the empire."
"The other half of the shares are distributed in the empire, and each commodity is only distributed to one shareholder, and the higher price gets it, and it has the monopoly right to operate this commodity for a certain number of years."
"The empire appoints a'subcontinent governor' to control the trading company and lead the extraordinary army under its command, but does not interfere with the specific operating conditions."
"The preferred location for trading companies is Bambe City."
Bambe is the largest city on the subcontinent and an economic center, so it is more suitable as a location for trading companies.
Tim Kenan and the others listened and thought.
"This proposal is feasible." He quickly agreed, and then asked: "Rene, what should the Gupta Kingdom do?"
"We don't care about the rest of the kingdom. We only need to control the city of Bambe." Reyn replied confidently: "We can support a puppet king and push him to the front to rule the Gupta Kingdom, but If he can't get a firm foothold, it's better to choose a king who has an improper legal system, or a mediocre and greedy king."
"At the same time, secretly promote other people who covet the throne, let them fight each other, and attract most people's attention."
"In this way, the sense of existence of the Imperial Legion will be greatly reduced. Even if the people of Gupta have any hatred and anger, there will be puppet kings in front of them. If it doesn't work, let the king be the scapegoat, and another king will be replaced at any time. ."
To put it bluntly, it is a set of operations that support the puppet regime plus divide and rule.
The customary means of the previous British Empire to rule the colonies.
However, in the world of Ellen's, this kind of routine of manipulating a country’s politics behind the scenes is rare. The existence of extraordinary power determines almost all countries and the strong. It is used to
start from the status of strength
and solve it with fists. Problems encountered.
In people’s stereotypes, only the weak and followers of the evil are good at playing this trick.
However, Renn is neither a weak person nor a believer of the evil god, but the methods used to manipulate politics are one set of sets, which makes everyone a little puzzled.
For a while, everyone looked at Renn's eyes and felt a little furry in their hearts.
Obviously he is a pinnacle powerhouse with super power, but he is so good at manipulating people's minds and tricks, and he must not be an enemy of this kind of person.
However, this also shows that Rennes is very suitable to serve as consul.
These methods and methods were also proposed by Rennes from the perspective of the Archon, and all of them were in the interests of the empire. This position was none other than him.
Everyone kept looking at Rennes, each with his own thoughts.
The tower hall was silent for a while. UU reading www. uukānshu.com
Tim Kenan finally spoke, and said in a deep voice: "I will inform the Supreme Council of your proposal later. There should be no problem and it can be approved."
Ren nodded.
"Since it is your proposal, you will also serve as the new consul, so you will implement the policy of controlling the subcontinent." Tim Kenan felt that he didn't have to worry about it, and said the decision, "Flannis floats. The empty city will guard the city of Bambe until the end of the year. When you take over as the consul and take over this matter, Frannis will leave with the Imperial Legion."
"Yes, Lord Duke." Renn had no objection.
This matter is so settled.
The Duke of Silver Star asked, "Then we can't grab the city of Bambe?"
Rehn's methods can get countless benefits, but this does not affect her idea of ​​looting the city of Bambe, first make a fortune.
Tim Kenan didn't respond and looked at Rennes.
He wanted Renne to make a decision.
"Of course it must be robbed." Renn replied without hesitation, "but you can't burn, kill, or loot at will. There must be a targeted looting."
While speaking, he produced a list.
This is a list collected by Leizhu Heavenly Soldiers in the past month. It lists the richest nobles and merchants in Bambe City, detailed locations of the treasure house, the most valuable possessions, and so on. As long as you follow the list, you will be able to find at least a huge wealth of 50 million gold shields, safety and efficiency, and will not cause too much casualties to the residents of Bambe.
Ren handed the list to a group of empire powerhouses, and they glanced at them and immediately strayed, for fear that they would be a step slower than others.
