Chapter seven hundred and nineteen the robber trade
"what to do?"
"I was deceived, so embarrassing."
"At this time, should I cooperate with him and make him feel happy? Or should I expose him mercilessly and put him in embarrassing embarrassment?"
"No, no, no! As long as I can't provide evidence to prove that I won't rebel no matter what, then he will definitely keep his words. Then we will reach a deadlock. Maybe... he will get angry and teach me a lesson first."
"So... let's cooperate with him in performing! I have everything you want." Lin Xi went through a mental journey in a short period of time, and then used his professionalism to perform for the old emperor.
He had a 'face as pale as earth'.
After all, an ordinary noble boy who was yelled at when facing the emperor would rebel in the future.
The first thought should be to be confused and then fall into a state of tension and panic.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi used her experienced acting skills to fully demonstrate what it means to suddenly flash a murderous intent in her eyes, but then restrain herself.
After that, he lowered his head in fear, and then defended himself loudly: "No! Absolutely impossible, I can't do such a treasonous thing. Who are you? Which old prince are you? Why are you slandering me?
?”
"Who am I...don't you already know it in your mind?" The old emperor stood up, turned around, and asked.
At this time, the old emperor felt inexplicably relieved.
Although I have lost the ability to predict the future, sometimes it doesn't matter whether it is true or false.
As long as the time goes on long enough, the so-called prophecies spoken are sufficiently shocking, and the prophecy of the prophecy is also credible, the false ones can become true.
As long as he still shows the ability to predict the future.
Those rats hiding in the gutter can only hide.
Don't dare to go out and cause trouble.
With Lin Xi, he just tried his best in advance.
After saying a sentence, the old emperor waved to Lin Xi, and then his expression became gentle: "Don't worry! Since Emperor Shenzong, our Xia Kingdom will not condemn things that have not been accomplished. You are not rebellious now, but
I, the people of Xia Kingdom, will not do anything to you."
Lin Xi's expression seemed to still be uneasy.
"I've read your book Electric Age. It's very interesting."
"I am very curious, can electricity... really be created artificially?" The old emperor did not continue to talk in circles with Lin Xi, but went straight to the core.
Lin Xi fell silent.
Even now, he wanted to teach him all the methods on how to make a simple generator right away.
However, this is inconsistent with human nature and human nature.
Perhaps it would make the old emperor suspicious.
As for whether the old emperor still has the determination to promote change for the second time...
Didn't his performance speak for itself?
Now that the original precognitive skill has been deleted, we have turned to pursuing longevity.
That is obviously the intention to become the ancestor of electricity, and then after sufficient accumulation, he will challenge the gate of transcendence, break the theorem and become the world's first true transcendent.
Although... this is still just fishing for the moon in the water.
However, the old emperor did not know that he had confidence in this and was full of expectations.
If given the chance, become an immortal emperor.
So whether it is conservative or open...what does it matter?
The so-called political opinions, for an emperor, are nothing more than serving the convenience of his own rule.
"What, you don't want to say it?" The old emperor seemed to have expected Lin Xi's reaction.
Lin Xi continued to remain silent.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk. Let's talk about something else." The old emperor obviously didn't intend to hit the target immediately.
However, Lin Xi roared in his heart: "You should continue! You want to threaten me! No matter what you threaten me with, as long as you threaten me... I will tell you! If you threaten me more forcefully, I will
Maybe even the electric light and telephone will be invented for you."
It's just that there are some things that I can't say directly because I feel so embarrassed.
"Boss, there is some movement in the Shanhe Army. Is it you who is behind the idea?" the old emperor asked.
Lin Xi said nothing.
Still wondering why the old emperor had to change the subject.
Lin Xi's idea for the eldest prince was good, but the mistake was that... the people under the eldest prince's own hands were not too clean, and there were traces of what they did.
With the wisdom of the old emperor, it is not difficult to guess the true purpose through some traces.
"You are indeed a little clever. If it weren't for the spy I arranged under the boss, I'm afraid that the hundreds of years of loyalty and reputation of King Yan's lineage would have been tarnished by you." The old emperor sighed.
He actually had a little fear.
He is also determined to replace the current King Yan and support a new King Yan to take the throne.
But after thinking about it for a while, I rejected it.
Now that he wants to implement the second change and promote the arrival of the electric age, he needs to maintain stability.
A large amount of military strength is needed to be loyal to him.
Perhaps the current King Yan may have become disloyal because of his responsibility to the Shanhe Army.
However, compared to an unknown new King Yan, the current King Yan is trustworthy.
"Shanhe Army... They have paid too much for our Great Xia. They are the emperors of our Xia Kingdom, and the people owe them. The widows will select a group of people from the family members of the Shanhe Army to establish
Caravans. Then the utensils made by the family members of the Shanhe Army will also be included in the list of ocean trade." The old emperor said this to tell Lin Xi that your plan was about to fail.
At this time, Lin Xi finally spoke.
His voice was dry and he was no longer confident: "The border is bitterly cold and products are scarce... Apart from some animal furs and some minerals, what other special products can we have? Even if we take them overseas... they are not worth anything."
The old emperor laughed loudly when he heard this: "I am the emperor of the Xia Kingdom. Even if it is a piece of rabbit skin or a piece of iron ore, if I want to exchange it for real money and silver in the name of foreigners, they have to exchange it honestly.
"
"Isn't this just a bandit deal?" Lin Xi thought to himself.
Of course, this is better than robbing it directly.
At least, the animal skins and minerals from Xia Kingdom can still have different values after being packaged by merchants.
It doesn't matter if it has no practical value.
Smart businessmen can also give them virtual value that does not exist.
Like, bags are all made of fabric and leather.
Some are worth a few dollars, and some are worth hundreds of thousands.
In addition to the so-called art and design that are invisible and intangible, the so-called famous brands, trends, and luxury goods values... In the beginning, perhaps they were just like what the old emperor wanted to do.
It is a kind of forcible robbery by the strong against the weak.
These commodities, which are far from actual value, exist like a fig leaf.
