Lan Nuo and his party sneaked into the city openly. With his invisibility, even if the strongest man in the world came, they would not be able to find him unless someone from the God Realm took action. The words in the same city
, and the dialogue between city residents, it is not difficult to determine that this is the Sun and Moon Empire. It is a relatively prosperous city on the coast of the Sun and Moon Empire. It is called Sunrise City and has a long history of more than 5,000 years.
After all, this is Douluo, a little-known city with thousands of years of history. However, judging from the living conditions of the residents here, they live in quite poverty. Even with the level of technology, it seems that
It seems to be much more advanced than the Douluo Continent before Lan Nuo crossed over. The life of ordinary people is still not rich, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it poor.
Lan Nuo noticed the existence of the textile industry in the city, and there were a large number of machines for imitation, which meant that this was not a country lacking in fabrics, and the people's clothes should be brighter and have more styles.
But what he saw was almost uniform clothing, which looked extremely old, and almost every civilian had many patches on his body.
"Why is it so poor here? This is wrong." Lan Nuo fell into deep thought and looked around at everything happening in the city. It was relatively easy to make such observations with his mental strength.
Mr. Mao curled his lips: "It's just capitalists like you who exploit the common people. It's just that their technology is not as obvious as yours and they look very poor."
Lan Nuo shook his head: "If it is purely aristocratic exploitation, although the common people will be poor, they may not be short of some necessary living materials, especially in a period when productivity is relatively developed. Look at the textile factories over there, all kinds of
The production efficiency of colored fabrics is very high. It can be judged from the proficiency of the workers that the people working there have developed habits and follow a complete production process and have strict work manuals.
This means that this industry is not a new industry, but has been born for many years. If it is the exploitation of the nobles, then what is the point of them monopolizing these fabrics? Monopolizing the production of bulk commodities can indeed bring huge benefits.
But the premise is that the products you produce need to be sold, and since there are so many products, the sales price will not be particularly high even in a monopoly industry. The accumulation and storage of goods also has costs. Selling the goods as soon as possible will
It is helpful to reduce costs and increase the benefits you obtain.
You see, the factories here are producing non-stop day and night. For this city alone, it is equivalent to serious overcapacity.
I just mentally scanned another city a hundred miles away and found that they also have the same type of factory, and the area we are in happens to be a cotton production area. In other words, factories here are actually very common, not only
There is overcapacity in this place, but if you look at the clothes of these people and the bright fabrics in these factories, they cannot afford to buy the things they produce in excess, and it is impossible for the nobles to consume so much fabric.
So where did they go? There are many possibilities, but the biggest possibility is that there is still a market that they need to supply, and even if they abandon their own market, they still have to supply it, and they may even have to supply it at a cheap price.
Let’s continue looking. There must be huge problems in this empire. The internal class contradictions are already so serious, but they still have to continue to squeeze the people at the bottom. If there is no influence of external interference, then the rulers here are either crazy or crazy.
Fool."
Lan Nuo suddenly acted so serious, which made the two people around him a little uncomfortable for a while.
"We really can't accept the fact that you suddenly become so serious. Have you been secretly replaced?" Master Mao was the most direct.
"No, I just think it is necessary to do some social research. Those guys in the God Realm are not so kind. They just let me go to other parallel worlds for vacation. Maybe there will be something wrong waiting for me.
Once I got high here and didn't pay attention to anything, I ended up being troubled by trouble here, which was not easy to deal with.
And since we are here for a vacation, we must still need money. If we don’t have money, what is a vacation? Do we rely on grabbing money? Although our strength does not require us to care about this issue, my suggestion is still to make a move.
smaller.
If the gods of this world notice it, it will be very, very, very annoying, because according to the timeline, among the gods of this world, there is already a very annoying guy. The other gods are generally not interested in the development of the continent.
I won’t care. It’s not that something earth-shattering has happened, and I probably don’t even have the intention to take a second look.
But if that guy is in the sky, I'm afraid he will take a look from time to time, and from time to time he will pay attention to some of the more powerful people on this continent."
Master Mao wanted to ask who that person was, but when he thought that Lan Nuo didn't mention the other person's name at all, he probably knew what was going on. After some beings are powerful enough to a certain extent, just mentioning their names can cause the existence of dark beings.
The induction in it can even reversely lock the location of the person who proposed their name.
It is obviously very dangerous to do this kind of thing openly, especially when the other party may be watching you at any time, and it is even more troublesome to attract the other party's attention.
"So we have to use a more conscientious way to make money this time?" Master Mao asked.
"Then what can you do? If the money is gone, you can still make more, but if your conscience is gone... you will make even more!"
Mr. Cat: "..."
You can still send it if you are familiar with it, it still smells familiar, it seems that there is no change.
After walking around the city, Lan Nuo roughly figured out why the civilians here were living in such hardship. The productivity of the Sun and Moon Empire was actually not low at all. This was true for all walks of life, but a large number of their products were
It is a standardized type, which is an important feature of export products.
In other words, these goods of theirs must be exported, and may even be... tribute.
This can be seen from the fact that a group of arrogant people came in from outside the city that night. The clothes worn by this group of people were obviously different from the people in the Sun and Moon Continent. Mr. Mao was very concerned about the clothes of this group of people.
It's quite familiar, it's the traditional decoration of Star Luo Empire people.
Although some changes have taken place over a long period of time, overall, the difference is not that big.
After this group of people entered the city, they naturally had a superior aura and a somewhat arrogant feeling. They also felt that they were superior to others when facing the nobles in the city.
"This... what happened to our continent seven thousand years ago? This is not the Sun and Moon Continent we discovered before, right? Has the trade between the two continents been opened up as well?" Mr. Cat is not sure about the future.
How does history develop?
"Let's do a little science." Lan Nuo looked at the proud Star Luo Empire people who were counting the exquisite goods, and explained at the same time: "Actually, there is no need to be too surprised by this. Douluo's navigation technology
Without our promotion, it would never have developed.
The same goes for the navigation technology of the Sun and Moon Empire. They have never paid much attention to the ocean. They are each land-power countries. The intersection of the two continents originated from the continental collision caused by a plate movement not long ago.
The original ocean between the two continents was squeezed out and turned into a mountain range that now stretches between the two continents.
On both sides of the mountain range were the Sun-Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and a large-scale war broke out between them. Although the Sun-Moon Empire was a unified empire, the Douluo Three Kingdoms successfully came back after the early martyrs.
Defeated the Sun and Moon Empire.
As you can see, this is exactly how the defeated countries are treated. My previous speculation is similar. The goods produced by the Sun and Moon Empire cannot be put into their own market, but must flow into the Star Luo Empire at extremely cheap prices.
Even the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling Empire."
"What are the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire?" Master Mao was confused.
"In short, the original Tiandou Empire split and became these two guys. In short, Douluo's strength has not developed much in these years, and may even have regressed a little because of the split of the empire."
Master Mao fell into deep thought, and then raised a soul question: "According to my judgment, without our influence, if the three countries on the Douluo Continent were split again, how could they possibly defeat the Sun and Moon Continent?
Those guys above, even if their cultivation talents are very poor, their combined formation is not weak at all. Even if there are no cultivation geniuses in this generation, they can still rely on the formation to make up for it, ensuring that every generation has them.
The strong one appears.
Even if we can't win, we won't lose. As long as we keep delaying until Douluo's generation doesn't produce a strong enough person, we can win."
Lan Nuo shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. The fact that Douluo has not developed does not mean that the Sun and Moon Continent has not developed. When we went there, the Sun and Moon Continent was still divided. They were the Sunlight Empire, the Moonlight Empire, and the Sun Moon Continent.
Holy Dragon Empire, by the time the two continents collided with each other, the Sun and Moon Continent had already been unified, leaving only the Sun and Moon Empire, a huge empire.
Do you think that during this process, the Sun and Moon Empire will not develop at all? Will it be as weak as when we face it?"
Master Mao thought about it for a while. Although the Sun Moon Continent is not as big as Douluo, it is still close to two-thirds of the area. And the strength of a unified empire is much stronger than that of a divided empire. Therefore, looking at it this way,
The strength of the Sun and Moon Empire should be stronger.
"That's not all. The Sun and Moon Empire has developed more technology than we did at that time. To be precise, it is a soul guide. You should have some impression of this thing. We made this thing in advance, and they also made it
The characteristics of his own combined military formation are integrated into his own technology, making the power of the unified army more concentrated.
Theoretically, the power of thousands of people can be concentrated on one person with very low loss. The power of a legion of this level is comparable to or even surpasses the Ultimate Douluo."
"Then why fight?" The expression on Mr. Cat's face was extremely strange: "The Sun and Moon Empire is so powerful. Douluo's side has no chance of winning at all. Why did they win instead?"
"How do I know? According to the historical data given to me by the God Realm over there, the Douluo Three Kingdoms were defeated steadily at first. Later, Shrek Academy stood up and raised its arms, and this united the entire continent.
Strength. Completed the counterattack.
To be honest, I don't really believe in this part of history, although on the historical line without our interference, Shrek Academy's influence will be very great.
But after all, he was just a strong man trained by an academy, and most of them were scattered across the continent. Even if he could unite the three empires, it was not the reason why they could win.
Having been beaten so badly by foreign invaders like the Sun and Moon Empire, is it possible that the three empires are not united? Maybe there is still some intrigue at this time, but to be honest, even without Shrek Academy at the moment of life and death, when the other party has the ability to defeat them
When the group is destroyed, we will definitely unite as much as possible.
Even if Shrek Academy itself has a strong foundation of strength, it is already an exaggeration to be able to send a strong person of the Extreme Douluo level. In front of a truly united legion, there are only one or two strong people of this level.
If it is one, it will not play a decisive role at all.
So I have always suspected that there may be some external factors intervening in this war. But this is something we are not convenient to talk about for the time being."
Lan Nuo did not continue to delve deeper into this topic, nor did Mr. Cat continue to ask, because they saw the nobleman from the Star Luo Empire kicking a woman from the Sun and Moon Empire to the ground.
"Why are you so wasteful? We brought more raw materials a month ago, but you lazy guys didn't even give us all the raw materials for a full month to produce fabrics. It seems that I am too disrespectful to you.
You are too tolerant, come on! Pick out the three people who produced the least this month and behead them, and hang their heads at the door of your factory as a warning! Let me see who else dares to be lazy before I come next time?
This time I have brought twice as much cotton. If you cannot spin them into cloth on time, the punishment will not be so light next time."
While they were talking, three women were already struggling and being pulled out of the crowd. Even if they screamed and cried, it was of no avail. They were forced to be pulled in front of the nobles of the Star Luo Empire. They saw the nobles waving their hands.
With a wave of his hand, the servant next to him drew out his long knife and walked towards the screaming women.
