Although Link didn't understand these so-called economic transactions, he at least knew that the business group, which was originally run by his family alone, could guarantee the production and supply of glowing sunstones. Now that he sincerely cooperates with the empire, there are
With the empire's huge human resources as a guarantee, it would be easier to do what should be done. How could the current situation arise?
"The problem does not lie with this business group, uh, but it can be regarded as occurring with this business group." The head of the family seemed hesitant to speak, glanced at Link, and then sighed and said
: "Anyway, we can't hide this matter. Lord Link is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if we tell Lord Link."
"What's the matter?!" Link's curiosity was suddenly piqued. He changed his half-asleep appearance before, sat up straight, and asked repeatedly.
"After all, that business group is doing its own business, and the research on the technology related to the glowing sun stone is indeed much harder than those who originally worked in the empire." The head of the family looked serious.
He said slowly: "After several generations of exploration, their technology for exploring luminous azure has been greatly improved. They also deliberately arranged technicians to follow the caravans across the continent. Later, they have discovered that if they use the technology
If done right, there are several places on the mainland that can produce as many glowing stones as good as the Sakara Empire!"
"Oh..." Link finally grasped the essence of the problem. He thought for a moment and smiled at the head of the family: "Does the head of the family want to tell me that among these places, there is one that belongs to us?"
The territory of the Val Empire?!"
"Sir Link is really powerful." The master of the family responded to Link with a wry smile, and he continued: "We only found out about this news after the business group was brought under national management, but at that time we
There is no good way to think of, the only way is to restrict everyone who knows the news from spreading it!"
Everyone knows the importance of the glowing clear stone to the economy of the Sakala Empire. Since the founding of the Sakala Empire, it has largely relied on monopolizing the production of this special mineral to be able to dominate the economy.
It has occupied the top level on the continent for a long time. Even though it is now overtaken by the rapid development of the Bavarian Empire, it is still much stronger than other empires on the continent.
But if this monopoly is broken, and if other empires on the mainland can also produce large amounts of glowing stones, then the economy of the Sakara Empire will inevitably be severely impacted, especially if this country can produce large amounts of glowing stones.
, if it is the first empire on the continent known for its commerce like the Bavarian Empire, then with the sales channels and business level that are many times stronger than that of the Sakala Empire, I am afraid that the Sakala Empire
The situation that the empire faces is really very serious.
It's just that in this peaceful environment on the mainland for so many years, it is impossible for the Sakara Empire to follow the example of the chaotic era on the mainland and send troops to rob these places, let alone facing Bavara.
For a large empire like the Er Empire, the Sakara Empire has no guarantee of victory. Therefore, their only response is to strictly block the news, and at the same time, the country will come forward to remove the key exploration information from the merchant family.
All members of the Yinghuo Akashi Mine were put under surveillance.
For countless generations, the Yinghuo Akashi Mine has been a specialty of the Sakara Empire. The concept that it is only produced by the Sakara Empire has been deeply ingrained. As long as this news does not leak out, it is basically impossible for other empires to go there.
The idea of re-exploring the Yinghuo Akashi Mine has arisen, and even if some rumors inevitably spread, as long as such news is not learned from accurate channels, it is unlikely that any country will actually prepare to explore the Yinghuo Akashi Mine.
After all, mining exploration is not an easy task and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is unlikely that any country will be willing to go to such trouble before there is definite information.
Especially now that the entire set of technologies has been monopolized by the family of that business group. As long as the people who master the relevant technologies are firmly controlled, even other empires on the mainland will not hesitate to spend money if they know such news.
It is necessary to conduct large-scale mineral exploration, but as long as there are no relevant technologies and the participation of people who have mastered key technologies, it is impossible to achieve any results.
Originally, this arrangement could be regarded as the best arrangement without any other options, but what the emperors and ministers of the Sakara Empire did not expect was that they miscalculated after all.
"It turns out that the Bavarian Empire had already produced glowing stones more than a year ago." The head of the family was full of helplessness in his words. He shook his head and said to Link: "Three months ago, from
The fluorescent Akashi products manufactured by a business group in the Bavarian Empire have begun to be shipped to various empires on the mainland!"
The Sakala Empire has never had much interest in business, and relying on its monopoly on Yinghuo Akashi, it has not spent much thought on product improvement. That is, until the family business group intervened in Yinghuo Akashi.
After the production of fire stones, there were finally some improvements, but with the power of a business group, compared to the mature business model of the Bavarian Empire, it is still far behind.
The empire's Yinghuo Akashi products are much better than those of the Sakara Empire in terms of quality and shape. They have also developed many alternative products and have completely replaced Sakara in just a few months.
The Kara Empire's original status has become the most popular thing among the aristocratic classes of the major empires on the continent.
"Master," Link heard the master say these words, and couldn't help but said to the master with a bit of laughter and tears: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid I really can't be of much help!"
Although the mainland has been at peace for who knows how many years, the overt and covert struggles between the major empires have never stopped for a moment, especially the Bavarian Empire and the Sakara Empire. The two empires have always been close to each other in terms of national power.
They are adjacent to each other. After so many years of accumulation, the relationship between the two is naturally very complicated. Link has never been interested in these things. That is to say, when he gets along with the little princess and Earl Weir these days, he is more or less
He had heard a little bit about it, but it was just his general understanding. He was certain that if the Bavarian Empire encountered an opportunity to attack the Sakara Empire quietly, it would never let it go.
What's more, controlling the mining and manufacturing of glowing stones like this now is equivalent to controlling the most important economic source of the Sakara Empire to a certain extent. With the Bavarian Empire's current operations on the mainland, even if it cannot
Comprehensively replacing the Sakara Empire's Yinghuo Akashi business can definitely suppress the Sakara Empire to a very pitiful level. I'm afraid it won't take long. No matter how unwilling the Sakara Empire is, it can only turn to the Bavarian Empire.
Bow your head and let the Bavarian Empire impose its conditions.
I'm afraid the Bavarian Empire has been waiting for countless generations for such an opportunity. Now it's just a stroke of luck that they've come across such an opportunity. How could they give up so easily?
Not to mention giving up, it is impossible for the Bavaria Empire to relax its suppression of the Sakara Empire in this regard. After all, the Sakara Empire has now realized the possible crisis on the Yinghuo Akashi, and has also
Already has its own business group, but now it is just because the Bavarian Empire's commercial operations on the mainland over the years have far exceeded the scale of the Sakala Empire's business groups, so it will be temporarily
The Saqqara Empire was so suppressed that it had no power to fight back.
If we relax a little at this time and let the Sakala Empire recover, then in the future it will take an unknown amount of effort to form the absolute advantage it has now.
When Link heard what the family head said, he roughly guessed the purpose of the family head's long speech. He probably hoped that he could use his power to influence the situation of the Sakara Empire compared to the Bavarian Empire.
Completely in a passive position of being beaten.
Link felt that probably since he came to the Pamber family, he first behaved inscrutably in front of the head of the family, and even made the head of the family think that he was a strong man at the level of a paladin, and then
He also casually brought up the skills of the sage Galka as a condition of exchange. All this made the family head overestimate the strength of Link's so-called family behind him, and in order to make the performance realistic, he also
Intentionally or unintentionally, he followed the words of the master of the family, which further deepened the impression of the master of the family. As a result, the master of the family is now full of confidence in him, and actually wants him to come forward to mediate such a big matter. It is really disappointing.
Link didn't know what to say.
Link knew how much he was worth. Now he was just wondering if this old fox was a little confused. If he really had such great ability, why would he need to come to the Pamber family and ask them to help settle matters?
The consequences of canceling the marriage between the two empires.
"Lord Link has misunderstood. If things are really what Lord Link thinks, it would be fine." The head of the family looked at Link's appearance, sighed again, and then continued: "For this
We have discussed this matter with your country many times in recent months."
His Majesty Norton III of the Sakara Empire was not a king who focused entirely on state affairs. Especially the nobles in the Sakara Empire, most of whom were not too interested in business and economy.
It is enough to ensure that they have the luxuries they need for daily life.
It turns out that the knowledgeable people among the upper-class nobles of the Saqqara Empire, such as the group of people who followed the Sri Lankan prince, were quite ambitious, thinking that by imitating the Bavarian Empire, they would have a greater influence on the Saqqara Empire.
Reforms were carried out from top to bottom to compete with the Bavarian Empire in the economy. However, with the accession of Norton III, these original reform plans have been shelved. Now they are faced with such a situation. Those in the Saqqara Empire
After urgent discussions between the ruling aristocratic family and the imperial royal family, they had already prepared to transfer some benefits to the Bavarian Empire. As long as they could save the face of the Sakara Empire and make some economic concessions, for the Sakara Empire,
Under the current situation, there is nothing we can do.
What is different from what Link thought is that the Bavarian Empire is actually very interested in the conditions offered by the Sakara Empire. After so many generations of business reforms, the current kings of the Bavarian Empire and
Those aristocratic families who hold real power have also become accustomed to the rules of business operations. Using the Yinghuo Akashi to suppress the Sakara Empire can be a moment of pleasure, but the competition between the two will eventually drive down the price, and if Sakara is allowed to
If the Kara Empire becomes a low-level producer purely providing minerals to the Bavarian Empire, then the benefits that the Bavarian Empire can obtain will probably be much greater than they are now.
From the perspective of those in power in the Bavarian Empire, the level of such intrigues is still much higher than that of a straight-forward guy like Link. Giving the Sakara Empire a nominally equal partnership will
In essence, turning them into lower-level producers who only provide minerals is the most effective way to suppress the Sakara Empire in the long run. The Bavarian Empire is actually very happy to see this happen.
"It's a pity," the head of the family shook his head and said, "It wasn't until your country became interested in the conditions we proposed and was ready to take action that you discovered that the royal family of the Bavaria Empire actually still
I can’t control this matter.”
"Can't control it?" Link was startled by the words of the head of the family: "Isn't it right?!"
The head of the family has just made it very clear that the newly produced glowing azure stones are mined and manufactured in the Bavarian Empire, and are distributed to the entire continent through the Bavarian Empire's marketing channels, and in the Bavarian Empire
It is really strange that within the borders of the empire, there are things that the royal family of the Bavarian Empire has no control over.
"The Bavarian Empire has been developing commerce for several generations. There are countless large and small business groups in the country. Of course, the vast majority of them obey the royal orders of the Bavarian Empire. Even for some large
The business group and at least the imperial royal family can exert enough influence, but there are always some exceptions, such as..." The head of the family looked at Link, as if he wanted to see something from his reaction, and then
He said slowly: "For example, the first six of the eight major chambers of commerce have spread across the entire continent a long time ago."
There are tens of thousands of chambers of commerce on the continent, but the only ones that can truly operate in any country are these eight major chambers of commerce. Among these eight major chambers of commerce, two are the best on the continent in the Bavarian Empire.
After the big country carried out business reforms, it was cultivated with the efforts of the whole country and the efforts of several generations. But even so, these two major chambers of commerce only barely squeezed into the last two seats of the eight major chambers of commerce.
As for the six major chambers of commerce that originally existed on the mainland, almost no one can tell clearly what their origins are. There is not much information about these six major chambers of commerce in the historical records of all countries. It seems that these six major chambers of commerce
The Great Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared on the continent overnight one day after the Lord God re-established the order of the continent. The only thing that the major empires can be sure of is the potential strength of each of these six major chambers of commerce.
They are all unfathomable. They are simply six first-class empires with no fixed territory that run rampant on the continent.
Long before the Bavarian Empire started its commercial reforms, these six major chambers of commerce had already visited every corner of the continent. Many scholars on the continent were even speculating on the reason why the Bavarian Empire was so determined.
To carry out such reforms, perhaps there is also the shadow of one or a few of these six major chambers of commerce.
According to the head of the family, the business group in the Bavarian Empire that possesses the technology to mine and explore glowing sunstones was indeed just a newly established small business group in the Bavarian Empire.
, after the Bavarian Empire learned that this business group possessed such technology, it also fully supported their operations. This is why there has been such rapid progress in the mining of glowing sunstones, but now the Bavarian Empire
When the Empire thought about taking control of this business, it discovered that behind this business group, there was actually one of the six major chambers of commerce in the mainland.
In a situation where one of the six major chambers of commerce has already intervened in the layout in advance, even with the power of the Bavarian Empire, it is still not easy to deal with it, not to mention that there is also a question of whether it is worthwhile.
"One of the six major chambers of commerce in mainland China you mentioned." Link was thinking about other issues now. He looked at the head of the family and asked in disbelief: "Which one is it?!"
When mentioning the eight major chambers of commerce in the mainland, Link of course remembered what Old Scuva told him before he left the Mage Tower. The biggest gift brought out of the Mage Tower was originally the boss behind the Ferro Chamber of Commerce.
Ring, and the Ferro Chamber of Commerce happens to be the second largest chamber of commerce among the eight major chambers of commerce on the mainland.
Although Link was once a bit obsessed with money, after experiencing the experience in the Mage Tower, his vision has completely changed. Especially after he came out of the Mage Tower, he was sent back directly by the old Scuva using the law of space.
At home, the little princess captured Ding, and somehow became a member of the Bavarian Empire's marriage protection mission. He has been struggling all the way until now, and there is no chance for him to bring the ring to the Ferro Chamber of Commerce.
Go show off.
But now Link really feels that it is very strange. Not to mention his experience in the Mage Tower, even the existence of the Mage Tower is something that not many people on the mainland know about.
It was clear that the head of the Pamber family had no idea of his identity just now. Not only was he stunned by Link's simulated Paladin-level ability, he was also hit by the wrong person.
, thinking that Link belongs to a mysterious family on some continent, how could it be possible to know that Link has a relationship with the Ferro Chamber of Commerce now?!
Therefore, Link now feels that it is very likely that the family head made a mistake when guessing the mysterious family he belonged to, and mistakenly thought that he was a child of a mysterious family that is one of the six major chambers of commerce.
Otherwise all this would be too difficult to explain.
Although the Pamber family can almost cover the sky with one hand and control the wind and rain in the Sakala Empire, after all, his power is limited to the Sakala Empire, and those who stay in the Mage Tower are basically
All of them are existences that have surpassed the limits of the mainland. If the Pamber family can not only know the existence of the Mage Tower, but also have a way to monitor every move in the Mage Tower, then those old perverts in the Mage Tower are probably
They had to collectively jump off the challenge road and crash to death. Link wouldn't believe this possibility existed anyway.
Furthermore, if the head of the family really knew Link's origin early on, then unless he was so bored that he wanted to cooperate with Link in such a play to make Link happy, otherwise everything today
The reaction was totally unreasonable.
"We only found out not long ago." However, the words of the head of the family seemed to break Link's hope again. He looked at Link and replied with certainty: "The chamber of commerce behind that merchant group is the Mainland China Chamber of Commerce.
The Ferro Chamber of Commerce ranks second among the eight major chambers of commerce!"
"Uh..." Link suddenly didn't know what to say. If this was a coincidence, it would be too much.
The head of the family seemed to enjoy the feeling of startling Link. He paused for a while and then asked with a smile: "Are you wondering, Master Link? How can I be sure that Master Link and that family control Yinghuo?"
Could it be related to the mysterious business group that Akashi is buying and selling?!"
"Yes." Link spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I have never heard of that mysterious business group. Why does the head of the family seem to know more about it than I do? I really find it very strange!
"
Now facing this old fox, he really felt a little unclear about the details, so of course he still had to speak with confidence.
And what he said was not false. It was the first time he heard about the Yinghuo Akashi, including the business group that controlled the Yinghuo Akashi to compete with the Sakara Empire. God knows what the Ferro Chamber of Commerce is doing.
something.
Before finding a suitable opportunity, Link does not intend to use his relationship with the Ferro Chamber of Commerce to do anything. After all, to deal with the current situation, after obtaining the support of the Pamber family, it should be absolutely possible.
It's enough, and if he comes to the Ferro Chamber of Commerce when dealing with these old foxes like this, if he can't find a perfect excuse, I'm afraid these old foxes will inevitably inquire about the relationship between him and the Ferro Chamber of Commerce.
end.
Although the old perverts in the Mage Tower would never let these people have the opportunity to harass them, since Link had promised Old Scuva and the others before leaving the Mage Tower to keep the existence of the Mage Tower a secret, he would absolutely
He will not allow any possible relevant information about the mysterious existence of the Mage Tower to be leaked from him.
"Lord Link has been away from the family for some time now, right?" At this time, the head of the family didn't know whether he had relapsed into his old habit of nagging, or was deliberately trying to whet Link's appetite.
Opening his mouth actually changed the topic again.
"It's been a long time!" Link frowned and replied.
"Then your relationship with Her Royal Highness should have started before this, right?" The old fox transformed into a gossip man and began to question Link.
"Well, your memory is not bad!" Link has not forgotten the rhetoric he just made up to the old fox. According to what he just said, he and the little princess have been in love with each other for a long time, but because of Xiu
The current situation came about because Qigong failed to propose marriage to the royal family of the Bavarian Empire in time.
"Then your family should also know about the relationship between you and Her Highness the Princess?!" The old fox continued to ask very useless questions, looking at Link with a smile.
"Master of the family, you don't think that I stole the complete set of sage Galka's skills, do you?!" Link responded a bit angrily.
"A young talent like Lord Link is indeed a rare talent in any family." The head of the family suddenly sighed for no reason: "It's no wonder that your family has silently done so much for Lord Link."
My heart has arranged so many things secretly!"
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Link was so confused by what he said: "Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to this!"
"Lord Link, aren't you asking me why I think that mysterious business group has something to do with you?" The head of the family said: "It was only after I heard you explain these things clearly today that I finally put this
Everything that happened during this period of time is connected together!"
"The name of that business group", the owner looked at Link and smiled slyly: "It's called Linke Business Group!"
