Chapter 1383 Strategies for Dystocia Dragon Island
Because the Greco family fleet's trip was imminent, Lin didn't make much preparation and followed William on his family's ship.
The design of the sea-going ships in Midland can be said to be quite advanced, directly based on the structure of the Galenic sailing ship. The Galenic ship was the hometown of a certain traveler, but the wooden sailing ship before the advent of the steamship era was extremely developed. Including the side
The gun emplacements on the side, the layout of the ship's masts and rudders, and the shadow of an unknown senior traveler can be seen.
However, there are no artillery in Midi, so the gun positions of Midi ships are equipped with ballistae. One of the great advantages of the ballistae is that it can be used with the magic crossbow, which is one of the few weapons that can kill sea beasts.
In comparison, artillery shells are more difficult to process with magic. This is something that someone who has tried to make physical magic bullets knows very well. Lin speculated that this was also the unknown senior who did not introduce artillery technology.
That's a big reason. After all, everyone knows about the Galen ship, so it's impossible not to know about the artillery. They were all products of the same period.
The magic weapons of ordinary warriors or the attack magic of magicians are just like scratching an itch for huge sea monsters. Only siege-level weapons can cause damage to the opponent. Sea ships are equipped with ballistae.
, which is considered the best combination.
Most of the fleet are three-masted sailing ships, with a high load capacity. However, because they transport large livestock, mainly cattle and sheep, in order to maintain the minimum space for movement, the transport capacity cannot be increased, so we can only rely on adding more ships.
The quantity makes up for it. After all, living animals such as cattle and sheep cannot be stacked and arranged as closely as ordinary goods.
The ship Lin and William were on was a battleship in the fleet. It was smaller in size, but the number of masts and sail area were not inferior to those of larger ships. This meant that the battleship was faster and more flexible.
This has certain advantages in combat on the ocean.
However, because unlike our hometown ships in the Age of Discovery, there are still supply needs for gunpowder and cannonballs, so the ships in Midland have a relatively large margin in terms of carrying capacity. And these extra cabins are not used to load other ships.
Instead of supplying supplies, they brought with them the main interests of this fleet, which were the private goods carried by the family, including some 'private extra money' stuffed in by the Imperial Navy.
The most private goods used for trading with Long Island are coins, followed by various crystals, gems, and magic stones. There are also a lot of white waste magic stones that have been used up. There are also some glass beads mixed in. If someone doesn't have
If you are dazzled...
In addition, there are also some strange products and works of art designated by the dragon. There are even some craftsmen! But these people are not sold to Dragon Island, but to work on Dragon Island, and they will follow after they are finished.
Afterwards, the fleet returned to the main continent. For example, they helped some dragons carve stone statues, or help some dragons that had transformed into human form draw an image.
Ignoring for the moment the fact that the merchants of the Karlsruhe Empire dared to use glass beads to deceive the Dragon Clan. Only then did Lin notice his big blind spot, which was the coins stored on Dragon Island. This made someone's
The trip to Long Island has changed from a casual trip to a must-go trip.
Wherever there is money, there should be a place where the goddess of gold coins shines with all her power!
However, opening a bank on Longdao requires on-the-spot evaluation before making a decision.
The reason why I say this is because the dragons want money not because of the value of the coins, but because of their desire for the precious metal itself. Making a bed with gold coins can be said to be what the dragons are most passionate about and what they love most to compare with.
That's one thing. In other words, the dragons' view of 'money' is more of an ornament and decoration than a medium for transactions.
In this environment, it does not matter whether the precious metal content of the coins themselves is high or low. As long as the quantity is large enough and looks amazing, that is enough. This is reflected in the fact that a considerable part of the coins transported by the Greco family fleet
It's all bad money that other places don't bother to use.
If it weren't for the bank promoted by someone, the value of the bad money exploded. It would definitely be more beneficial to exchange the bad money at the bank than to directly use the bad money at a discount. It is estimated that all the low-quality coins that cannot be circulated in the empire would be used
Trade with Longdao. Because that’s what we did before.
But now the actual value of bad money has been discovered by banks, but banks have not yet been fully promoted in the empire. This makes most holders of bad money save their coins and wait for a bank to officially open near them.
In order to earn the maximum profit from the bad money, this made the Greco family's work of collecting coins more difficult.
In the past, a family challenged the route they controlled to Dragon Island. It was because of the lack of money that they asked for help. As a result, this became a signal of the Greco family's weakness in the eyes of outsiders. In order to deal with those challengers, and collect
Enough money made it almost too late for them to catch up with this fleet.
And this fact means that trying to use the value difference between coins to encourage dragons to use banks to exchange Coin coins will not be very effective. It is like serving a plate of exquisite food to a person who only pays attention to rough meals.
The dishes are probably just not enough to fill your teeth.
Depending on the demand side, different strategies must be formulated. But for the time being, Lin has not thought of a good method.
Besides, the coins left on Dragon Island cannot become part of the currency in circulation, which is not conducive to the growth of the gold coin goddess. For the route planned by Lin for the goddess, the most important thing is to have coins with the goddess's mark, that is, Koin coins.
Circulation in the lost land. The key point is circulation!
But the habit of the dragons is to save. Continuously accumulating wealth but not using it. This goes against the original meaning of 'circulation'.
Saving is a good habit, but for society as a whole, it is one of the factors causing economic stagnation. Some large consumer countries have even introduced the concept of 'advanced consumption', forcing people to become mules under the whip of capital and bear the burden.
Keep moving forward with debt.
Such an approach will make some economically disadvantaged people become sacrifices and leeks for capital, concentrating wealth in the hands of a few people. But doing so can create the phenomenon of economic prosperity.
However, a very interesting joke is that capitalists require employees to dedicate themselves selflessly and work overtime in addition to normal working hours. They wish they could even shorten the time for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, and focus entirely on the company.
The business is on call 24 hours a day, which is not only a problem but also a problem. Because customers are gods and the boss is the master, their requirements must be met unconditionally and perfectly. Only in this way can we be called a small screw in the company's machinery, driving the company forward.
progress.
As the company progresses, society as a whole can progress, eventually leading to the perfect ending of collective sublimation of the entire society. As for the small screws, who can only receive meager remuneration compared to capitalists, no one cares about this.
On the contrary, the whole society is urging little screws to cherish their blessings. Because some people are not even qualified to be screws. Those who are not qualified can only wallow in the mud and become maggots.
The employees have worked hard and dedicated almost 100% of their time and their best years to satisfy the bosses. But the bosses are not satisfied, and capital drives them to work harder to exploit everything and achieve their own success.
But the employees who had lost all their personal time had no time to run their families, or else they were unable to cultivate qualified next generations. In an instant, the capitalists discovered that the leek generation was gone!
Hmm...whose fault?
Farmers grow rice to eat, and they even know how to save the seeds so that they can be sown next year. Now even the rice they grow is crushed into rice and eaten next year, so they can plant balls next year. Who is to blame? It's just good enough to eat soil.
In short, this kind of prosperity will eventually turn into a bubble, or it will continue to enjoy a long and happy life, depending on the ability of the person at the helm. It only takes thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river... forget it, it is useless to say more.
The good habits that the dragons happened to form due to their greedy habits are actually the opposite of Lin's idea. If you want to reverse the habits of the dragons, you will undoubtedly be seeking fish at the wrong time. Then the secondary option is how to establish the goddess of gold coins in the dragon clan.
status.
This does not necessarily require deep faith. It is difficult for these arrogant creatures to believe in a certain god devoutly, even the rumored dragon god. But as long as the dragons know Ke Yin, it is a great progress.
.
It should be noted that most of the dragon clan don't even care about who the gods are. This is also related to the fact that the dragon clan has achieved the achievement of expelling the gods several times in history. Although it is not a slaying of gods, it also proves that the so-called 'gods' are in front of the 'dragons'
They are not superior. Naturally, they don't care who is in the group of gods.
But how to make this clan, the boss of heaven and my second oldest, remember a gold coin goddess? Lin has no clue at all...
On the one hand, this is because the Ninth Power Plan has never had anything to do with the Dragon Clan from the very beginning. Now that this rather unique group suddenly appeared, Lin could not think of any proper way to arrange them for a while.
On the other hand, it is also because Lin is not familiar with the Dragon Clan. He does not know many dragons, and there are only a handful of living dragons. Since he does not know deeply, he naturally cannot know what the actual needs of the Dragon Clan are. Since he does not know the needs.
, there is no way to purposefully address the needs and direct the results in the direction you want.
Although supply does not necessarily mean that the target has demand, even if the other party does not originally have such demand, you can still find a way to create it. It is like the candy company in your hometown creating a Valentine's Day in order to sell chocolates.
But the premise of all this is that you have a certain understanding of the Dragon Clan, and then you can find a way to find needs or create needs for them. Before this, everything you imagined was as unrealistic as a castle in the air.
So, after arriving on Dragon Island, it’s not enough to hide out and visit the attractions before leaving. You also need to communicate with dragons from various positions to achieve your goals?
Thinking of this, Lin regretted killing the two dragons before. Any living thing will be affected by the first impression. The first impression he gave to the dragon clan was that he was a dragon slayer. This is a very prestigious name outside.
, how many stares you will get on Dragon Island, someone will have a headache just imagining it.
Before he could sink into deeper troubles, the unusually violent rocking of the ship pulled Lin's consciousness back from his random thoughts.
