Li Cong's own abacus was very good. He originally thought that their frontline troops might not be able to support him. Who knew that those people really believed the above-mentioned thing about enduring humiliation and bearing the burden? This was in everyone's mind. The blood of the soldiers is gone. I really don’t know what they are thinking. However, through the currency crisis of the Southern Empire, Li Cong also swept away about one million billions of silver from the hands of the Southern Empire. It can be said that there are more than ten people in the Southern Empire. The annual tax revenue is not as powerful as Li Cong's all at once, so he should be satisfied, but his army eats hundreds of billions of silver every month, and he is also a gold-eating beast. Such a thing He is not merciless at all when it comes to money. The next thing Li Cong has to do is to take good care of the people in the area he occupies, so that they can develop the economy well, and he can also get some tax revenue from himself. If he can't fix them, he won't be able to make people's lives better no matter how much money he throws away. Li Cong understands very well that teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about the matter at hand. The people in the occupied areas are much better off than outside. Their food prices are the same as before the war, fifteen cents per pound, and if they have Cao Cao in their hands, The banknotes from the Cao Family Commercial Bank can be exchanged in full for them, but they don’t have many people to exchange them. An important reason is that the various stores of the Cao Family Commercial Bank only accept their banknotes. Is it possible to go there today? After exchanging the silver, do you want to exchange the money for banknotes tomorrow? The trouble of going back and forth is very troublesome for everyone, but no one will do such a thing. In their opinion, the Southern Empire is not a match for the Cao Family Trading Company, so the money is no problem. .
Of course, in order to distinguish them from other banknotes in the Southern Empire, the Cao Family Trading Company issued some new banknotes. These new banknotes had something extra that no one in the Southern Empire had discovered, that is, there were a few extra banknotes on the bottom of the banknotes.
Numbers, these things are clear to some people in Cao's Trading Company. This is what their boss let them know. This thing is called Arabic numerals. I don't know how it came to be called such a name, but after they learned this thing
Those arithmetic problems are much faster than people on this planet, mainly because the Cao family business has too many accounts. If this is not used, who knows how long it will be. Follow Li Cong's idea
Even a huge central computer may not be enough. At that time, I won’t need the million-dollar bookkeeper. However, it is not very practical to get that thing now. It is better to get this thing honestly.
As for other things, there is no need to start in advance. These numbers on the banknotes are for the common people in the occupied areas of the Southern Empire. The previous banknotes in your hands are about to expire. Although the blockade is very powerful, it is also very dangerous.
It is difficult to determine whether people from the north of the Southern Empire will bring a large amount of banknotes to exchange them. If so, they will really suffer a lot. With this, they can also pressure the Southern Empire government to give them some preferential conditions. Now there are
Now I know these numbers. Is it possible to see the banknotes in the northern and southern empire at a glance? Li Cong also accepted Wu Zuoxi’s suggestion. The banknotes in each region of the empire are different. If there is any conflict,
, I will use this to restrict you immediately. Of course, this cannot be used often. If they are deceived too many times, the people will also feel that this banknote is not good, and then problems will really arise. Many.
No matter how good your ticket is, it will be useless if you don’t use it anymore.
Wu Zuoxi and Gu Xin's airship can be said to be the slowest airship in history. They will never let it go too fast because they have not completed some things in the Southern Empire. If they go now
If it's too soon, many things may not be done, because what is needed most now is time. Some people in the Southern Empire are not brainless when doing things. When this financial war is about to end, they also feel it. Why do domestic
There will be so many rumors at this time. If they wanted to find the source of this rumor some time ago, they could really find some people on the street, and they could also find some evidence by following the clues, but now those people are already
After finishing the matter, why do they still come out? Of course they are not fools. The Southern Empire has suffered such a big loss in vain. It is estimated that it will not be possible to recover in twenty or thirty years. In a
The plan is to starve the frontline troops of the Southern Empire. Due to the influence of the rebels in the central region, especially the sabers, they have already controlled a lot of transportation channels. There are currently less than three troops on the frontline of the Southern Empire.
One-third of the people can eat regular food, and the other people have no such possibility at all. They either have one meal a day, or the food that is so rotten that it cannot be rotten anymore, plus some local officials and troops close to the battlefield
The generals there colluded, and these people directly took out the rations and sold them. Anyway, so many rebels would just say they were robbed, and they would believe it.
Of course they wouldn't have had such courage in the past, but it's different now, isn't it? Now many people know that the main thing the rebels rob is food, and they will do anything for food. If
Without them, not to mention hundreds of tons of grain, even local officials who lost hundreds of kilograms of grain might be arrested by the officials of the Southern Empire. Now so many places have lost hundreds of tons of grain.
The loss of hundreds of tons is not a rare thing now. If all these local officials are dismissed, where will the Southern Empire find so many people to do things, so the higher-ups acquiesce to this.
Things, besides, it doesn’t matter if a few soldiers starve to death, they are just untouchables. These people below are not fools after they get the money. Naturally, they have to give some to the higher ups, otherwise these people will not be happy in their hearts.
How can we be comfortable, how can we live a good life? Of course, we must give them certain benefits. Everyone has a mouth, and everyone gets what they want. The soldiers on the front line are the ones who suffer the most. Take
They risked their lives to protect those so-called lands, but in the end they had nothing, not even their own stomachs. How many such soldiers would sacrifice their lives for the people of the Southern Empire? Look at them again
The Cao Family Trading Company across the street keeps giving them delicious food. Looking at their treatment, although they can't go to the Cao Family Trading Company yet, they know that the war will end one day. At that time, they will
It's over now, and the Cao Family Trading Company can be regarded as laying a foreshadowing for that time.
Li Cong also has his own arrangements for these rebels in the central part. Although the war on the front line is over, they are also a very important reason for the instability of the Southern Empire. If they are all killed.
A few years from now, the entire empire will grow again. This time, the hatred against the Southern Empire is already deep in their bones. They will not let it go. They will definitely look for an opportunity in the future.
They were found. Instead of being in trouble at that time, it is better to continue to support them. Anyway, all the support is underground. It happened to be over on the frontline battlefield, and there were still a lot of military supplies and so on.
It’s useless. It’s better to just give it to them directly. It will be difficult to transport it back anyway. It will save a lot if you give it to them directly, so at night, a large number of Cao Family Trading Company’s airships started the transportation.
In the past, I just threw some things casually and never showed up. The investment at that time was also quite a lot, but it is nothing compared to this time. Now the investment is so huge.
Naturally, we have to have a good talk with these people. Chou Niu is a representative of the Cao Family Trading Company. He is responsible for having a good meeting with the leaders of these rebels to talk about some current things and some more important things.
, the rebels will not care about the people of the Cao family business. What they are interested in is the supplies worth tens of millions of taels in Chou Niu's hands. These things are what they need most.
The twelve zodiac signs are basically the rising stars of the intelligence department of the Cao family business. They are all in charge of their own part. Originally, the boss should be called Zishu, but that guy has to call himself Mole, so there is nothing he can do. It's just a code name anyway.
, whatever you want is your own business. This guy has been in charge of the capital of the Southern Empire for a long time. This kid has contributed a lot to this financial war. Behind him, Chou Niu has also been
After starting to take action, the task Li Cong gave him was to use the materials in his hands to firmly control the rebels and make these rebels become an alliance of the Cao family business. Although they were like this in the past
relationship, but this relationship has not been truly determined, and the rebels do not think that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company are their bosses. The reason why they cooperate with the Cao Family Trading Company is because they all need certain things. In these
Only when stimulated by the things will he cooperate with the people from the Cao Family Trading Company. Now what Chou Niu has to do is to give you the things, but you must listen to our greetings. If you don't obey, then I'm sorry. We don't have the supplies.
I will give it to you, and you have to unite with those who are obedient to kill you. This is the most important thing.
Although this guy Chou Niu has a girl in his name, he is not a Gundam. From the appearance, this guy is the same as a scholar, but he is not a scholar. Anyone who knows this guy
Everyone knows that he is really ruthless in doing things. This time he came to the mountainous area to make an alliance with the leaders of the various rebel armies. He has a good plan. It is best to listen to him. If you don't listen, you will be left.
There is no other use. This guy came with a company of people. His own mount is a seventh-level Tilachi wolf. In the past, such a thing belonged to the Wolf King, but now, such a thing does not
Knowing how many have been bred, most of the wolf cavalry in the Cao family business use this. In fact, according to his idea, even the two companies do not need it, but the boss feels that he must have it here.
Some people have it, and besides, he also has a lot of good things on him. It would be bad if something goes wrong. Although he is a seventh-level warrior, there are many masters here. When he left, this guy
What he said was good. After entering the southern empire, he dispersed his men and rushed into the central mountainous area with a few wolf cavalry. He didn't need to contact each family in the past.
Anyway, my people have already sent the news. As long as those people's minds are okay, they will go to the place they agreed on. If you don't want to go, it doesn't matter. You won't need our assistance in the future.
.
There are now about a dozen rebel forces in the central area of the Southern Empire. If the senior officials of the Southern Empire suppress them effectively, these people will come over to show their loyalty, but if there is no army of the Southern Empire, they will also start
There is always competition for territory in this world. These people are not fools. They are all striving to use the greatest strength to strengthen themselves. They also understand that it was all because of the Cao Family Trading Company in the past.
The reason why people are staring at the front is that the Southern Empire does not have such a strong force to deal with them. In fact, they should see their own clearly. To put it bluntly, I am a clown. As long as the troops on the Southern Empire's front line are one-tenth of the
If they are all surrounded, they will have no choice but to do anything. Many people have also said that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company are here to help us. But what use are you now? People from the Cao Family Trading Company
Why should we assist you? Unless there is something wrong with their minds, no matter what they do at this time, they need a reward. You could help us cut off the transportation lines of the Southern Empire before, so of course we will assist you.
Okay, I don’t need you now. Why should I give you so many things? In fact, at the beginning, these people didn’t want to be captured by the Southern Empire. What I said at that time about serving the people was still true.
But now everyone has their own little calculations. They only think about their own territory and so on. As for the people, they have all gone away.
It can be said that Saber's organization is the one closest to the place agreed by Chou Niu among these dozen organizations. Although Saber himself is very smart, due to the Southern Empire's focus, his team now only has more than a dozen
With tens of thousands of people, they can be said to be the smallest among these forces, but they have done the most. They are also ranked first on the Cao Family Trading Company's aid list, so the Saber is here to participate.
They are very confident, which is completely different from some people who look very powerful but are of no use. Now if we talk about the number of people, they have the most people under Red Beard, more than a million people.
They occupy more than a dozen counties and cities, almost the size of a province, but what they do is not very good. They will flee as soon as the government troops come. A few days ago, the Southern Empire
7,000 cavalrymen recaptured a county occupied by his men. At that time, he had nearly 100,000 men. With a gap of more than ten times, his men did not dare to fight. In one place, they were theirs.
The reputation is also the worst. Red Beard has never done anything for the people since he got up. What they do is basically robbery to make money, and they basically don’t do anything else. This
The first time they came here, it can be said that they were the most guilty. They all got the news in advance. In the future, Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely provide some assistance, and there will even be some kind of competition mechanism. If they can't complete the above
As for the mission, there is nothing left.
Ugly Niu rode his magical beast and ran fast in the mountains. It can be said that his own idea was correct. If he didn't leave those people behind, it would probably take half a month to wait for them to get here.
, now it took me three days to get here. Several bosses have already come here, but Chou Niu didn't run out quickly. He had to wait for everyone to arrive before he came out.
, if it comes out too early, doesn’t it mean that your face is lost and you are not reserved enough? Women often use this word. In fact, it also has the same meaning for men. Ugly Cow didn’t expect the saber to come.
So early, although the saber is very close to here, he has read the information about the saber. He is very arrogant. This time the saber is also listed as a stabbing head. Will this guy know how to use it?
His military exploits allow him to do some embarrassing things, but as mentioned above, this stupid guy has to stay. What he has done is several times that of others, including the houses that were sent to him.
, that is to say, this guy is using the best. Now the soldiers on the Southern Empire front line all hate this guy to death. If this guy hadn't cut off the main artery, it would be impossible for other people to help.
If you don't go up, during this war, it is very difficult to figure out the hearts of soldiers, especially if there is even the slightest disadvantage, the whole thing may become ugly.
"Boss, we have checked clearly. They came here with thirty people according to your request. There are many masters in these rebel armies, but most of them are fifth-level warriors. Let's stop it.
, if the troops from the front of the Southern Empire really come down. They can't resist anything at all. I also looked at their combat skills, and I guess they can bully the people. If they encounter the troops of the Southern Empire, they will be really powerful.
The last time the real guns came, their chances of winning were at best 30%. Without the aid we provided, it would probably be less than 10%. Even the most powerful Er Sha’s army was basically the same, but
The main reason why Er Shao was able to accomplish that thing was that this guy's brain was relatively easy to use. If he hadn't thought of blocking the road with huge rocks, the transportation line would probably have been fine. The discipline of the people under him was very good.
, although these people were common people before, but now they have learned how to bully the common people. These people bully the common people one by one, but they can do anything. It is the second fool who does it better.
, there are very few people under him who bully the people, so his team has more to eat than those people around." A guy under Chou Niu said. There are many in the dozen or so provinces around here.
There are only a few people who have received favors from the Cao Family Trading Company. At present, it seems that the team of Er Sha is almost the same as when it was first established. The other people have forgotten their origins and are all acting nonsense.
"Haha, speaking of it, these people should be like this. They basically don't have much ability. When they get up, they don't think of the so-called righteousness. The first thing they think of is their own enjoyment. You know why they always
The territory came so quickly at the beginning. Now it’s basically not increasing much?” Thinking of those guys, the ugly eyes are full of contempt. He really doesn’t think highly of these people. The previous paragraph
They did very well during the time, but not to mention expansion in recent times, even some of their own forces may not be able to hold on. Seeing his subordinates shaking their heads, Chou Niu was helpless.
Why are his subordinates so stupid? He said, "These people are uneducated. They are all people who live in peace. Each of these people are now afraid that they will be wiped out by the army of the Southern Empire. They are all recruiting troops hard."
, the main thing these people want is not to liberate more people. What they think more about is how to protect their own territory. It is really shameful for our Cao Family Trading Company to cooperate with them, but the negotiation has not started yet, so we have to rely on
These people have given us some help. Okay, you can just continue to investigate. After they all arrive, I will go out and talk to them about our affairs. If they are all obedient, it will be fine. If they are disobedient,
I'll give them some color to see." A strange light appeared in Chou Niu's eyes, and several people here also felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped. Their boss was really capable of lowering the temperature.
Chou Niu also saw a lot of things along the way. To be honest, these rebels were very good at the beginning, but now they have changed. At the beginning, they occupied a city for most of the time.
They were all robbing some things from the government. Who knew that they would later start going to the houses of the landlords? This was okay. After all, these people had done some bad things in the past, but later on
At that time, these people even took things from ordinary people's homes, and even did things such as bullying men and dominating women. Some local people said that some of their ways of doing things were more abominable than those in the Southern Empire.
, many people supported them at the beginning, but now these people hate them, and even help the army to destroy them in some places. Li Cong also knows these things, so this time he let Chou
Niu, please tell me everything about this place. They must not be allowed to develop like this. An army without the support of the people is of no use at all. In the end, these people may do bad things.
It's better not to be with them then. Chou Niu doesn't want to tell them at all, because he knows that these people will not give up on this in their minds. This is what uneducated people are like, but let me say it above,
You can't disobey orders, just give me some education. If you don't listen, we will just go our separate ways from now on. Look at the wolf under you. Hurry and go to other places to have a look.
Maybe there will be some new discoveries.
Looking at the senior officials of the Southern Empire, they couldn't bear these actions of the Cao Family Trading Company, but they had no other way. The funds in their hands were not as much as others. Besides, the Empire had a total of hundreds of millions of deaths in this war.
There are still many people, and the territory of dozens of provinces has been lost. This can be said to be the biggest loss ever seen for the Southern Empire. Many people are scolding the current emperor for being incompetent. When the emperor heard this
There's nothing you can do about it. Just kill some scholars at the beginning. These are the people who are causing trouble. But you can't kill all the scholars. They will still have some strength. Besides, the officials in the imperial court
They are all scholars, and killing too many of them will not benefit anyone. The Southern Empire's treasury is now empty. They thought of a very important issue at this time, that is, if they negotiate with the people of Cao's Trading Company, Cao's Trading Company will
They will definitely say that all previous debts must be recognized. In this case, they will not be financially independent even a hundred years later. Therefore, before the peace talks, the people of the Southern Empire also began to lobby the other three empires, hoping that they can help
If you have to bear some debts yourself, at the worst, you have to ask the Southern Empire to get back some important taxes. Otherwise, this matter will not be easy to handle. The people of the Southern Empire think well, but the people of the three empires
Are all people fools? Would they do such a thing? You didn't think of us when you spent money. Now that you have no money, you want us to bear the debt with you. I really don't know what you think.
The people of the three empires were also very angry as to why the people of the Southern Empire proposed such a condition. The people of the Southern Empire also had their own ideas. When we first got involved with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, you were all involved.
Didn't you say at that time that the three families should advance and retreat together, but why don't you have the courage now? Now that we are defeated, this matter has become our own business. If we, the Southern Empire, can control the Cao family
If the people from the trading company are killed, things will not be like this. I guess you will confiscate the property of the Cao Family Trading Company as soon as possible, and you will not need to pay back the money you owe the Cao Family Trading Company immediately.
Your calculation was very good, but it's different now. You have to bear it with us, otherwise our secret contracts will be made public. Anyway, there is nothing in the Southern Empire now.
If I can't drag you into the water together, I'm really sorry for myself. The people of the three empires were really angry when they heard what the people of the Southern Empire said. They really didn't expect such a thing to happen now. They also
I don't dare to offend the people of the Southern Empire directly. If the people from the Cao Family Trading Company really want money, they won't be able to pay it back. They did say this at the beginning. As long as they are from the Southern Empire,
If they could kill the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, they would also search the properties of the Cao Family Trading Company. Who would have known that before they even started preparing, the Cao Family Trading Company would start to create a food crisis in their country. Where were they?
I had the courage to go against the people from Cao's Trading Company, but I didn't expect that there was no benefit at all, but now that something like this happened, it was a huge loss.
The most important thing in the Southern Empire now is to restore the food supply. Although there are a lot of grain stores in some areas of the Southern Empire, people are already starving to death in some places. Many people are so hungry that they are going crazy.
Now, it’s not that there is no food. In fact, the food in the world is better. Originally, the senior officials of the Southern Empire thought that the big families had to buy food. They wanted to make high profits? In fact, this was really their wish.
They didn't mean that, because they didn't have much grain in their hands. After the Cao Family Trading Company started doing grain business, no one was doing this business at all, and there really wasn't much profit left.
, the prices of the Cao Family Trading Company remain unchanged, no matter how they fluctuate or what the weather is like, the most important thing is that the food they sell is more delicious, and there is no way other families can compare with them. Often
Who would do this business if they come often? Now that the imperial court gets such a small amount of food, the price will naturally be higher. Those who are rich can have something to eat, and those who have no money can only starve themselves to death.
Now, this is what happened. What they hope now is that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company can quickly sell food in the Southern Empire. If possible, they can even make concessions for this, but the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are slow now.
As for walking, the airship moves slower than a horse-drawn carriage. This is probably what they can do. The airship often needs maintenance or is in trouble of one kind or another. Anyway, it just can't move fast.
But even if things are delaying time, there must be a time, just like now. The time has basically arrived. If they go slower, everyone in the world will probably criticize them. Why are they so slow?
Well, the Southern Empire doesn’t pay much attention to these negotiators from the Cao Family Trading Company. In fact, they attach great importance to them. But because of the issue of face, they can’t send too powerful people there. If this is the case, there will probably be many
What people say, they will say in their hearts, they have to give them someone to show off. They also understand that the other party should be weaker during negotiations, and they also organized many people to protest at the place where they landed. This
They can learn very quickly. With this ability, they can enter the upper echelons of the Cao Family Trading Company. However, they have only learned a little bit, and they have not used it for a while. If you are a victorious country, you will not be able to do anything.
It is possible, but now that you are defeated, why don't you coax them to peace quickly so that they can quickly sign an armistice contract with you? You are still making trouble here. This is the contract you have to sign. If you
If they are not happy, they may go back, so making a fuss at this time will not do them any good, and this guy Wu Zuoxi is not half of the people. He is not a fool, so he will naturally understand what is going on.
, are you trying to bully me? Aren't you kidding me? It was me who did this for you in the past, but now it's you.
Looking at the outside, there are a lot of things like "go back to Cao's Trading Company" and "people in Cao's Trading Company are bastards". Anyway, they don't say that the people in Cao's Trading Company are good people. Under such circumstances, Wu Zuoxi can still be happy.
Haha. The person who came to greet Wu Zuoxi was the mayor of the capital. After all, he was a third-rank official. For ordinary people or ordinary businessmen, this level was not low, but the entire capital was more powerful than him.
If a person does not have ten thousand, he must have eight thousand. You have brought such a person here just to make us look bad. We know very well what they are capable of. It is not enough to bring in such a low-level official.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as there is one person who can pass the message, other officials are not needed. Now let's see what you are capable of. If it doesn't work in the end, we can go back directly. Anyway, when the time comes
It must be you who are to be blamed by the higher ups. It is estimated that none of the troublemaking people on these two sides will get anything good to eat. Looking at each of them, they all saw that people from the Cao Family Trading Company were coming, and they were shouting even harder.
Well, in fact, these people are all extras, they are all servants of the Southern Empire court. Their master asked them to come here and shout like this, they just come. As for other things, they are not what they need to know.
As long as you do the things your master taught you, you can do the rest, and you will definitely benefit from it in the future.
"Haha, I thought that many people would welcome us when we came here. I thought that I came to liberate these people. But now it seems that is not the case. These people all look at each other.
Those who are not good to us, these people look at us with hostility. Each of these people feel that we are their enemies. Look at the way they look at us, look at it, these are not good people.
, they all feel that we are like beasts, and we all understand what these people do. Since the negotiation environment is like this, I feel that there is no need to negotiate. If it continues like this, I feel that my mood will be very uncomfortable.
Okay, if I'm in a bad mood, there's no need to talk about this. I know how to look at my own mood when doing things. If I'm in a good mood, I can do anything. But
When I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to do anything. It's better for us to go back. Someone, please pass on the order and let the airship take off again." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile. He really didn't look like he wanted to negotiate. He just said
So he went back. The city lord who loved this city was dumbfounded. If he really left, the higher-ups would probably cut off his head. He finally called someone. If he was killed because of such a trivial matter,
Now that it's been done like this, if you don't lose your head, who else will? You'll immediately tell everyone around you to get out. There's no point in making a fuss about it now, but many people in the court feel that this matter can be made.
, Okay, you have made such a fuss like this, people don’t care about you, and if you keep making a fuss, you will ruin the future of the entire empire, you are a bunch of damn things.
"No, no, no, Master Wu, please stay. This matter is really not settled. As you know, our two sides are in a state of war. The people on both sides must be careless when doing things.
What do these people know? Their minds are full of confusion. A few random people fanned the flames and these people immediately ran out. Don’t worry, our upper-level people have a very deep understanding of this."
This guy quickly stood up and said. Wu Zuoxi just smiled when he heard what he said, what's wrong with you people at the top? Don't you think the people at the top hate us?
"Oh? I really didn't expect it to be like this. What this adult seems to mean is that the people above you are very friendly to us. Can it be understood this way? The people here feel good about us.
, This thing is not bad, there must be something wrong in what you people do, and this war is your fault, isn't it?" Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, just killing the person opposite him.
This guy wouldn't say this to the next one. What did he say? How could he talk about the subsequent events from the people's troubles? How could he admit that his empire was defeated? If that's the case,
If you go back, you will definitely be beheaded. If you let yourself choose, it is better to let them leave here and be beheaded. At least you can be strong for once.
