8. Shock the world (middle)

Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "I don't know much about this one. Tie Jian will know better. Tie Jian, how much goods did we bring this time?" Sun Tiejian stood up and saluted Han Wenzheng and said, "Father,

Do you want me to report to everyone here the quantity of the goods we have brought?" "Tie Jian, our Yanhuang tribe has always been open and aboveboard, and a man can tell others everything. Is there anything that cannot be said? It's just a matter of fact.

It's just the quantity of some goods. Are you still afraid that the Gao Xian here will come to snatch it from you? Tell me." However, Han Wenzheng also felt a little disgusted in his heart by what he said, Gao Xian, these

Do hypocrites also deserve this title?

Everyone else's eyes were full of color, and they were also curious about how much property the other party had. Sun Tiejian said: "Father, because the Great Wall is not big, (the noble officials present all cursed in their hearts: "The Great Wall is not big?"

So what kind of ship is big?") And it was our first time to come to the Western Continent, so the cargo we loaded was quite small, with only 2 million pieces of large and small porcelain, 500,000 pieces of silk, and 1 million pieces of silk clothes.

Ten thousand tons of tea, 300,000 pieces of wooden crafts, 500,000 pieces of talismans, 1,000 pieces of fine weapons, 10,000 pills, and other small items needless to say, the quantity is not large.

.”

Some people almost had a heart attack. Fortunately, they had advanced cultivation and strong fighting spirit, so they could barely slow down their heartbeats. They were also frightened. This number is really amazing, and its value far exceeds theirs.

Beyond their estimation, it was an astonishing amount of wealth. Everyone's eyes were red. If it weren't for the powerful force Han Wenzheng had shown before, they would have dared to give orders to rob it. It was such an astonishing wealth.

, even the emperor of the empire may not be able to possess this wealth.

A piece of porcelain, according to the price sold by the Xihai Hai clan, even a small wine glass is worth more than 10,000 gold coins. If it is a set, the value will be several times higher. It can be said that the value of the porcelain alone is

It is definitely more than 30 billion gold coins. As for the 500,000 pieces of silk, the price of each piece of silk is more than 500,000 gold coins, and the value is more than 25 billion gold coins. Silk clothes, even if there are not 5 million gold coins a piece

The sky-high price, even if it is reduced by one zero, 500,000 gold coins a piece, is worth more than 50 billion gold coins. Tea, my God, that is something sold in grams, the price of each gram of tea reaches ten gold coins,

In other words, 10,000 gold coins per kilogram, 10 million gold coins per ton, and the value of those 10,000 tons of tea is 100 billion gold coins. The other things are not clearly understood yet, but when you think about it, the value is also very high. It can be said that the Great Wall

The value of this ship's cargo is enough to buy dozens of Shengbuluo ports, and even several principalities are more than enough.

Earl Maboni was also dizzy for a while, and he was very dizzy. Although he had no intention of robbery, when he thought of trading so many goods in Shengbuluo Port, it seemed that the Yanhuang tribe would not refuse to pay.

Lord of taxes, how much is the tax revenue from this transaction of the Yanhuang tribe alone? One billion gold coins or ten billion gold coins? How much benefit can he get from it? He is about to faint from happiness.

Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "A little bit of goods is really insignificant. It's just a drop in the bucket. It's nothing. Lord Maboni, I want to hold an auction in Shengbuluo Port to sell the goods I brought."

The goods are going to be auctioned, don’t you know your approval?” Approval, absolute approval, those who don’t approve are fools, stupid pigs and idiots. Of course, Count Maboni agreed repeatedly.

A banquet ended happily. Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, some people were happy and some were sad. As for who was happy and who was sad, it had nothing to do with Han Wenzheng. He just went back to the VIP hotel to rest.

, but didn’t know what his arrival would bring to the Western Continent.

With so many goods from the Yanhuang tribe, although there are many wealthy people in Shengbuluo Port, they cannot have much purchasing power. Therefore, Count Maboni very wisely requested Han Wenzheng to hold the auction at

It will be held in half a month, waiting for the arrival of more big businessmen and nobles. Of course, Han Wenzheng agreed to this good thing that could earn more gold coins. In this way, the Yanhuang tribe also had half a month more free time.

The troops of the first battalion on the Great Wall landed ashore. They wandered around on the street. On the surface, they were curious. They came to a new continent. It is unreasonable not to be curious. They observed the landscape and civilization of the new continent on the street.

This is of course allowed, but in fact, the Yanhuang people are collecting all kinds of information. From all aspects of a city, you can see the management level of the city, and you can also see the culture of a country, race, etc.

aspects of things.

The hygiene on the streets is quite good, and it is not very dirty. It seems that the management level of the city is also very good. Count Maboni has been able to hold the throne of the Lord of St. Petersburg for thirty years, which is of a certain standard.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the goods for sale are relatively complete, and there are also many ships entering and leaving the port, which proves that commerce is relatively developed. This also shows that the rulers of the Western Continent did not restrict commercial activities. There are large agricultural areas on the edge of the city.

, the crops in the land are growing very well, and the grain output is estimated to be at the level of 500 kilograms per acre, which is pretty good. Based on the cultivated land area of ​​the Western Continent, there is no shortage of grain in the Western Continent, and the grain production is relatively sufficient.

of.

You can see how the people's living standards are by looking at the livestock raised in their livestock pens in rural areas. Generally speaking, the people's lives are still passable. At least, because of the sufficient food production, ordinary people should not have large-scale problems.

The phenomenon of starvation plays a vital role in the stability of a country. Judging from the production models in some handicraft workshops in the city, their production models are still quite backward, and there is no mechanical power.

, everything is still very primitive, and the output of a workshop is not very high. From the perspective of the consumption of the nobles, the nobles live a very luxurious life, living an extremely luxurious life, intoxicated and dreamy every day. It can be seen that the nobles have already

It is completely decayed and cannot adapt to this era. It can be seen from the educational facilities in the city that the Western Continent still attaches great importance to education. When facing the nobles, all educational facilities are open unconditionally. When facing the common people,

, only recruiting some students with relatively good qualifications, and slaves have no right to education. From this, it can be deduced that the literacy rate in the Western Continent should not exceed 30%, or even less. The subjects of education are only

It is the education of force, including the education of magicians and warriors, as well as the promotion of chivalry, etc. The education content of natural sciences is very little, which shows that they despise natural sciences. However, there is a special subject called alchemy, which is a bit natural.

It has a scientific flavor, but there are not many apprentices, and the requirements are very high. There may not be one qualified alchemy apprentice among 10,000 people. This shows that the Western Continent has fallen far behind in natural sciences, and there are many

The subjects are about theology and art, but they are only one-sided pursuit of the art, and there is nothing that needs to be paid attention to.

The eyes of the slaves who cultivated the private land of the nobles are very empty. They are numb and have no spirit. It can be said that they are just zombies. In other words, the slaves have been there for a long time.

, and the slaves also lost the courage to resist, had no right to education, and did not learn the knowledge of force such as magic and fighting spirit. The slaves did not have much wisdom or powerful force, so they were unable to resist at all.

It can be seen that slavery will exist for a long time if no one changes it.

It can be seen from the laws of the empire that all laws serve the nobles. If the nobles kill civilians, they only need to pay a few gold coins. On the contrary, if the civilians kill the nobles, they have to pay for it with the lives of their whole family. Therefore, the nobles

They have a lot of privileges, and even in their own private territories, nobles also have ridiculous powers such as sexual harassment.

The supremacy of force is the principle and the only law of the Western Continent. With strong power, you can have everything. Without the constraints of the law, some strong people can do whatever they want. They can kill people at any time with impunity, and they can rob them if they want.

No one objects to what they want, and no one dares to object. The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, is clearly reflected here. Under such laws, morals are naturally corrupted, and their nature of obeying the strong leaves them with little loyalty.

In other words, the strong naturally do not have the consciousness to protect the weak. Therefore, many forces are built on the strong. When the strong dies, the force will disintegrate.

The moral concepts of the Western Continent are very different from those of the Yanhuang tribe. There is nothing that can be done about this. Han Wenzheng naturally would not think of using the moral values ​​of the Yanhuang tribe to demand the people of the Western Continent. He is only considering what happens if he and the Western Continent

If war breaks out on the continent, there are places in the civilization of the Western Continent that can be exploited. Sometimes, loopholes in civilization and thinking are much more terrifying than a big defeat.

After five days of observation, we basically understood what we should know. On the Great Wall, Qiu Shui leaned in Han Wenzheng's arms and said: "The people on the Western Continent are really barbaric. I really don't know why they can still develop."

With such a large population.”

Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "Actually, basically nothing in the universe has the best of both worlds. The moral values ​​of our Yanhuang tribe are only suitable for our Yanhuang tribe, and their moral values ​​are only suitable for themselves. If we force

If they change, it will only be a disaster. Therefore, we do not need to change them. Morality cannot be formed in a day or two, just as the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness of our Yanhuang tribe are not formed in a day or two. The causes of civilization are different.

It is normal for the moral values ​​formed to be greatly different. We cannot say that our civilization is more advanced than theirs. If we insist on distinguishing ourselves, the civilization of our Yanhuang people is more inclusive and can accommodate all kinds of people.

civilization, and their civilization is more aggressive and dangerous, so facing such a neighbor, we must always be prepared for war."

Qiu Shui said: "My husband's analysis is very reasonable, but I still hate this kind of civilization. It makes people very insecure." "Yes, it is because they feel insecure that they have to constantly attack their opponents.

Until everything is in our own hands, until nothing can threaten us, I have a hunch that in the future, we will have a big war with this neighbor, a war with the goal of conquest.

War." Han Wen was looking up at the stars in the sky and said the above words in a powerless tone.
