Chapter 543 Imposing Egg

He originally wanted to return to the battlefield to reunite with Chris, get drunk together, and vomit the bitterness after the tragic defeat. But now he must focus on his own country, and he has to pay for the previous war.

Reggie always firmly believed that the choice of war was not wrong. What he needed was to turn the results of the war into wealth.

Looking at other countries, there are actually a lot of ready-made experiences that we can learn from, such as the Bayer Country and the Benlang Country. They directly plundered, robbed money, robbed food, and robbed women!

However, Benlang Country is not considered rich, and Bayer Country is even more shockingly poor. Fishing for food will not change the fate of poverty, but will only spread the plague of poverty to new lands.

The approach of the Golden Eagle people is relatively advanced. They charge high taxes from the conquered lands, with the highest ratio once reaching 80%. The price that comes with this is the constant resistance of the indigenous people, and the heavy consumption of the Golden Eagle country's army.

In the midst of a counterinsurgency war.

The approach of the White Tower people is the most advanced. After conquering a country, they forcefully open their trade channels and use the commercial methods that the White Tower people are best at to seize resources and thereby earn wealth.

The White Tower Kingdom once conquered four major grain-producing countries. As the price of defeat, these four countries were forced to sign exclusive trade contracts with the White Tower Kingdom.

The so-called exclusive means that these four countries must sell food to the White Tower Country, and they can only sell it to the White Tower Country, and they must follow the price specified by the White Tower Country.

During the years when food prices soared, the Baita Kingdom purchased grain at a price of three copper coins per pound and sold it at a price of eight copper coins per pound. While making a lot of profits, it also used low prices to cut off other competitors.

Businessmen compete for hope.

Not only food, but also other commodities. Among the tributary countries of the White Tower Country, three are rich in iron ore, two are rich in cotton, two are rich in timber, and one country has silver mines and is rich in spices...

In all business fields, the Baita Kingdom has an absolute price advantage. All wealthy businessmen have a consensus that they must either cooperate with the Baita people or be forced to go bankrupt by the Baita people.

Reggie likes the business model of the White Tower people very much. In fact, he is even greedier than the White Tower people. He charges a very low tax burden, but completely dominates the country's industrial and commercial lifeline. With his technological advantages, he makes low-cost products

Products are exported to various countries at high prices.

If this trend continued, he should have become the richest king in the world.

Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected, and now he is so poor that he can't even lift the pot.

A fleet from the Golden Eagle Kingdom came to the dock. They came to purchase Yun cotton (silk).

Silk is one of Reggie's main sources of income, but the output is limited and the cost is not low. Reggie is more interested in selling industrial products, and the most profitable one is glass. But even if Nipoli has spoken out, the Golden Eagle people are still interested in selling industrial products.

Glass is of no interest.

This is also understandable. The Golden Eagle people made the earliest glass in the world, and they kept lying about it being the crystal in the Dragon Palace. They made a lot of wealth for this, but in the end, their business was robbed by Reggie.

No matter how tempting the glass windows are, they will never lower themselves to take care of their competitors' business.

Since the break with the White Tower Country, Reggie's glass sales have dropped sharply. There are not many countries that can afford the price of glass, but Reggie does not intend to sell at a reduced price. This is related to technical value and business reputation.

"In addition to cloud cotton, don't you want to buy a few pieces of celadon?" Nipoli was still making his last effort.

"That's just a beautiful pottery vase. And I heard that you often give celadon as gifts to your guests. We bought so much Yunmian, why don't you give us two pieces as a gift?"

"Celadon is a very precious treasure. We only give it to sincere friends. I'm afraid your sincerity is not enough." Nipoli began to use the provocation method.

"We have spent more than three thousand gold coins, how much sincerity do you need?"

"You have brought so many merchant ships here, I think it is not just for this Yunmian," Nipoli said: "We still have a lot of goods, why don't you choose more?"

"There is no choice. Everyone else has what you have, and you won't sell what others don't have," a businessman grinned. "For example, if I like your artillery, are you willing to sell it?"

If it weren't for Reggie being too poor, the business of three thousand gold coins wouldn't be worth Nipoli's trouble.

Maybe he was really poor and crazy, even Reggie took part in the battle himself this time.

"I think it will take a long time for your merchant ships to be full," Reggie said. "In two months, please come to Broken Snow City again, and I will give you some rare things."

In the afternoon of the same day, Reggie set off for Silver Pine City, and specially brought Asharif with him. Silver Pine City was able to restore normal order, and the chief technician was indispensable. Reggie once thought about giving him an official position, but Asharif refused.

Well, this stubborn man prefers to deal with machines.

When he arrived at Silver Pine City, Reggie was warmly received by officials, including Asharif's friend Oleg. This man was not stubborn. He passed the selection examination and became a peace officer.

The governor of Silver Pine is called Enoch, who was the relief officer sent by Reggie back then. He is a pure Snow City person. He has lived in Snow City for generations and is full of the smell of Snow City.

.

Eat bacon, eat pickled chicken, eat oily sausages dipped in salt, the taste of Shredded Syracuse is so strong.

The wine that Reggie brought was almost untouched. All the officials knew that the Relief Officer liked ale, Broken Syracuse liked ale, and everyone drank ale on official occasions in Silver Pine City.

Even Oleg thought wine and grog were inferior drinks, and even dyed his bright red hair gray to make him look more like a Syracusean.

In the most difficult years of Silverpine City, relief officer Enoch devoted his efforts to put the city on the right track.

But when he had everything, and with the support of everyone, some of Snowman's bad habits slowly emerged.

For example, talking nonsense with your eyes open.

"Sir, although Silver Pine City cannot be compared with Broken Snow City, under your wise leadership, the momentum of its rise is unstoppable. The people here have the happiness they dare not expect, and this land is undergoing earth-shaking changes every day.

!”

"Lord, you have ignited the light and illuminated our future!"

"Lord, you have used your supreme glory to dispel the darkness of the long night!"

Listening to everyone's agreement, Reggie nodded, poured a glass of ale, and said with a smile: "This egg is very impressive!"

Because it was mixed with native language, no one could understand what Reggie meant.

Reggie toasted everyone a glass of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "We've finished pulling the eggs, and it's time to get down to business. I've brought Logger No. 2, and I'll all go with me to cut down trees tomorrow."
