Chapter 85 Trade War (Part 1)

The victorious public security forces were under Li De's inspection.

They were established before the army set out. They belonged to Hagad's Ministry of Civil Affairs, with a total of 500 people, but now there are only less than 300 people in this army. Because entering this army requires a series of screening, training and assessment before they can finally officially join the army.

Strict standards have created the combat effectiveness of this army. This time, the venture capital company organized more than 800 people. In addition to goblins, there are many races such as centaurs, taurens, and trolls, as well as black iron dwarves from another continent!

Venture capital firms are best at recruiting outlaws of all races, then organizing them into violent groups, enslaving intellectual lives to sell labor, digging ore or collecting herbs, and then hoarding prices.

Because they were all outlaws, they were extremely brave and dared to provoke any enemy. Unfortunately, almost half of the people they sent this time threw their lives on the Shining Plain.

They entered the Shining Plain from the north through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, with the purpose of taking advantage of the situation and attacking Gakisen directly when the Rust Water Crazy Box fleet attacked Hope Port!

Unfortunately, Hagad and the others were prepared for this. Zulfarak, located among the mountains in the northern border, could monitor the movements in the north at all times from the mountain. When the group of people first entered the Thousand Needle Stone Forest, their news came on a goblin motorcycle and sent it to Gakisen.

The disadvantage in numbers made Hagad not take the initiative to attack, and chose to stick to the favorable terrain and intercept all the enemies in the flash plain.

In this battle, Van Cliff, deputy chief of civil affairs, who has always kept a low profile, finally showed his talent as a stealth master. The enemy commander was touched by him and his head was beheaded!

Li De commended and praised this fruitful result, but he thought that he would recruit and train more military talents in the future, so as to save the embarrassment of Van Cliff's entry into the battlefield. This architect has more important positions for him to shine.

Although the results were outstanding, there were no losses in this offensive and defensive battle. The thugs of the venture capital company, when they failed to attack Gakison, retaliatedly destroyed the Flash Plain Racing.

Although I had received news that all the staff of the Scarlet Plain had retreated, many facilities such as the racing yard, mining farm and salt farm were severely damaged: as an organization established by goblins, venture capital companies are the least short of explosives.

"These bastards have ruined the Shrine Plain like this... and the racing stadium can't be handled anymore... I have done a good job in tax reform, and they have been ruined by those guys!"

Nogferge couldn't help but say it with regret, which aroused Li De's curiosity at that time.

“What tax reform?”

When he mentioned this, Nogferg immediately came to his spirit and introduced it vividly.

"After the new spinning machine was put into production, I decided to focus on import and export trade, and the workers also had relatively considerable wages.

So I decided to stimulate internal consumption, so I lowered the tax rate for merchants, and at the same time, the daily income transaction tax was also reduced a lot.

But at the same time, I have formulated new regulations on the taxation of luxury goods and entertainment industries. You know, the income of racing stadiums has always been considerable, so that more taxes can be returned to the finances and used for infrastructure construction.

These were originally planned, but now they have been destroyed like this by those guys. Even if they are repaired, with the battle with the Rusty Shui chaebol at sea, the game cannot be held anymore."

After hearing this, Li De suddenly felt awe-inspiring. He deserved to be professional, and the redistribution made him understand.

But then Li De was a little suspicious of the authenticity of Norgfrog's words. You should know that one of the important reasons why Li De and Norgfrog had always had a very harmonious relationship was that when the Hanhai Protectorate was established, everyone's private property did not move a single point.

The racing stadium, which occupied such a large area as the Shining Plain, is still completely None of its own business, and there is no share in it. Including the subsequent taxes, the tax rate for the racing stadium is also very polite.

You should know that people are selfish, especially according to the goblins' greed for gold coins, how could they take the initiative to cut their flesh?

Thinking of this, Li De asked half-jokingly.

"My minister, you didn't mean to say this on purpose because you couldn't continue watching the competition, right?"

After saying this unintentional joke, Li De could clearly see that Nogferge's face turned red.

"How could it be! Goblins love gold coins the most, but they have their own way of loving them.

The guy Rivegaz loves gold coins by collecting more gold coins, hiding them, or shaping himself a big statue to show his wealth.

I am different from him. Gold coins are my belief. I want to praise the power of gold coins and create a greater world with gold coins!

But the little gold coins in the finances are not enough to support my idea, and some business with great potential is right in front of me!

I have a lot of gold coins on my hands, but I can't spend them. Those industries with great potential are crucial lifebloods. I invest in them with my own money. One day in the future, guys like Hagad and Nibull may have to tear them apart before I can rest assured.

Taking gold coins to invest in other existing public industries or banks is the same as above.

So the best way is to legalize my money in finance. To be honest, Anderson has no idea about economy except shipping.

Whether my money is put into the finances or private treasury is the difference between the left and right pockets, while our territory is my chessboard.

Now, I have long been inseparable from Dupu. If you don’t believe me, go to the spinning mill to see. The 100,000 spindles are each praising my daughter’s name!”

Li De realized his mistake on the spot. He thought it was just a casual joke, but to Nogferge, it seemed like he was insulted.

He quickly admitted his mistake and comforted him, and Hagad and others also comforted him with laughter and cry. It took him a long time to make Nogferge pass by.

This incident left a lesson for Li De. As a leader, you should not be too frivolous in your words and actions. In his position, every word you say may be taken seriously.

But then, Li De discovered that in a hurry just now, he ignored an important detail in Nogfog's words.

"100,000 ingots? One hundred thousand ingots!"

As soon as he vowed to stop being frivolous in the future, Li De did not hold back and let out a roar of breaking through the clouds and cracking stones.

Look at Norgfg, Bigwiz, Hagad, Van Cliff... Everyone was prideless and said, as if they were saying to Li De:

You can translate it for me, what is surprise?

Dai Lin, who had been standing behind Li De, had a lot of questions. Since he came to Hanhai Protector, he felt that his eyes were not enough.

Everything here is so novel to him. There is a city full of flowers and plants in the desert! What makes him even more understand is that all the managers here have a high spirit.

Even the goblin, who has always been synonymous with greed and cunning in his heart, has a spirit that he cannot imagine.

Now when he heard Li De's roar, his eardrums hurt so much that he took out his ears with a little discomfort, and then asked in a daze.

"What a hundred thousand ingots? What are you talking about?"

Li De did not reply directly because he had not yet come out of the shock. Be good! One hundred thousand ingots, he now understands why the Russ Water Crazy Bounty sent warships to come. This is not to touch other people's interests, but to make others die!

Thinking of this, Li De cast an apology look at Dai Lin with some "sympathy".

If you are prepared for yourself, then our Marshal Dai Lin really needs to understand: what a fucking surprise is called a fucking surprise.

Dai Lin was wrong about Li De's apologetic look. He thought the big business he had promised was going to fail, but now he is not so urgent.

Because he saw the prosperous Hanhai Protector, he suddenly felt that even if there was no big business in a short period of time, he would definitely find excellent business opportunities here.

This time, Li De did not keep it too close. The win-win cooperation is for everyone to make money, and it is not about trying to scare anyone. He always pretends to be mysterious and ends up making everyone embarrassed. Who are you showing this whole work?

"Marty Marshal Dailin, the next thing you want to visit is our spinning mill. A few months ago, we invented a new technology that can produce large quantities of yarn, and the production speed is more than tens or hundreds of times that of traditional handicrafts."

Dai Lin still stayed in the concept of a single-wheel spinning machine when it comes to spinning. When Li De said this, he just thought it was a bragging. How fast can spinning be?

"Do you spinning wheels are better than others? Or do you have more textile workers than others?"

As a noble leader from a naval background, it is commendable to ask such questions. Li De no longer spoke, but just took Dai Lin to see it.

The factory site was set on an open space in the Gakisen Industrial Zone. There were no factories around except for the yarn mill. People from afar saw thick smoke whizzing out from a row of large chimneys.

It’s something Dailin has never seen before, why does the spinning mill smoke?

After approaching the factory, a team of guards stood in front of the double-fan iron gate, which made Dai Lin even more surprised that spinning requires such strict protection?

Seeing Nogfog and others, the factory protection team immediately came up, and then saw Li De in the crowd, and the guards were even more surprised.

The cotton mill is crucial to Hanhai Protector. Even when foreign enemies invade, they continue to stick to their posts and do not give any evil people the opportunity to steal intelligence. Therefore, these team members know about Li De's return.

The guard captain Li De had an impression that he was originally a soldier in the new army trained by Nibuer, but during the process of reorganization of the escort, he was transferred to the Security Section of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he was not expected to be promoted to captain now.

After patting the captain's shoulder and whispering a few words of encouragement, Li De signaled them to open the iron gate and let everyone enter the factory.

"You are mentally prepared."

He said something to Dai Lin quietly, which could be regarded as a reminder for himself. After that, Li De looked up and walked forward.

There is no need to remind Li De. In front of him is a scene that Dai Lin had never seen before. In the clean and tidy factory, workers who were shuttled back and forth put buckets of deseeded cotton into the machine, and then the workers who operated the machine turned them into buckets of combed fibers.

Then another group of workers turned the bucket of fiber into a wide trouser strip. Then several processes were made to turn the wide trouser strip into a thin trouser strip, and finally put it into the spinning machine, spinning into yarns, and wrapped around the rows of spindles!

Everything was so neat and uniform, the spindles wrapped in yarn were taken down by the workers and placed on the trolley beside them. On the trolley were piled with large bundles of yarn.

"this……"

No words can be described at this moment. This production model, which is completely a dimensional reduction strike, really makes him feel confused.

A small Jenny machine can burst out such energy after technological improvements.

"You are not just not talking big, I even think you were very kind to me at that time."

After a long time, Li De was also filled with emotion.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that they could do this. Before I came back, I thought it would be rare to have ten thousand spindles. How many spindles are there in this workshop?"

Li De has always been charging forward, either building wonders or killing demigods, constantly creating miracles. So everyone else was holding back their energy, and this time it was finally their turn to create miracles.

"This is all the joint efforts of everyone. Bigwiz and his team conquered the technology, Minister Hagad criticized the land and people, I am responsible for allocating funds, and the priests of the monastery asked the respected Loa to boost morale. In just two months, the factory was finally built!

Although production only started for one month, the output on the first day successfully reduced the price of Kezan's yarn by ten percentage points! Later, we successively put some into the market, which completely angered those guys, and the rest were all piled up in the warehouse.

To be honest, we don’t dare to produce at full capacity. There are 5,000 spindles in this No. 1 workshop, and there are 20 such workshops in this factory.”

"Two...twenty!"

Dai Lin was really going crazy, and he began to humbly ask how these machines started. When he heard that their power came from the steam engine, Dai Lin looked around the boiler like a child. However, he did not expect that Bigwiz, who explained to him, suddenly reminded him with thoughtfulness:

"You'd better stay away from there, the boiler hasn't exploded yet today."
