Many times things are not as simple as you think. Just like now, the militia has been successfully established. Of course, the construction in the Eastern Empire is faster, mainly because of the financial situation of the Eastern Empire.
Better yet, His Majesty the Emperor's private expedition discovered a huge gold mine at sea. His Majesty the Emperor himself took out 1.5 billion gold, which converted into silver is 15 billion silver. His Majesty the Emperor said that this money can
All of it was used to assist the construction of the militia throughout the empire. Now the militia is in a preliminary stage, so there is not that much. At the beginning, this money can be said to be all the emergency funds. Each of these people also
I feel that His Majesty the Emperor is much better than the people from the other two empires. At least he is not a hands-off shopkeeper. If it were the people from the other two empires, they would really do such a thing.
, they don’t think so much when they do things, they just think about what they will get after the militia is established. This idea alone is already very unacceptable. The most important thing is that they still have
After taking action, officials from various places were given another job, which was to spend all their spare time monitoring the militia groups. Every move of the militia groups needed to be reported to the superiors. In fact, this is normal.
The main reason for this is because the militia can be said to be the second force after the imperial army. If this is not completely in their own hands, it is estimated that the two emperors will fall asleep at night.
They are not fools. They know how many careerists there are in the country. In the past, even if they had that intention, they would not have the opportunity. But it is different now. I have created such a situation for them.
Opportunity, while defending the Cao Family Trading Company, I also have to guard against the careerists in the country. My life is really very hard. In fact, there is no way around this. Since I want to
If you want to be the emperor, then all this is what you have to bear. If you don't have the ability, don't be the emperor as soon as possible. It is better to let others be the emperor. Let's talk about it now.
Same, there is nothing wrong with being honest. Many people within the militia are quite dissatisfied with this. We formed the army to defend our country. We contributed money and effort, but in the end we gained
What happened? The position of the boss belongs to members of your royal family. It can be said that we have nothing. Not only that, you also sent so many people to monitor us. Why can't you see us when we have no money to develop?
Why don't you come and help us? But now that we have just achieved some results, you have come out to do such a thing. Many officials feel that the empire has gone too far in this matter, but they are all influenced by the idea of loyalty to the emperor.
It is eroding, so no one will feel that this matter should be spoken out. They all have this idea in their hearts. They study just to laugh at the empire. This empire belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, so as long as they do things for His Majesty the Emperor
They are serving the empire, that is, because of this idea, they obey the orders issued by the empire's high-level officials. They do not want the militia they proposed to become a weapon for some ambitious people. This is what they do not want to see.
things.
Compared with them, the methods of the Eastern Empire were much gentler. The emperor of the Eastern Empire was not a fool, but his actions were much more covert than those of the Western and Northern Empires. He did not directly order local officials.
They came out to do this, but the government has provided so much money. Can't they send one or two officials over to see how the money is used? Of course, they are not all here to see the money.
There are some other things, such as they will do some things they like, see some construction in the military camp, see some activities of the soldiers, chat with the soldiers and other things, to put it bluntly, they will
They are looking for information, but they have their own reasons. How could they know so many things without visiting? What if all the money is taken away by the generals? Moreover, the soldiers of the Eastern Empire also like it.
These people who come down to inspect will give the soldiers some benefits from time to time. Although the careerists below want to oppose this, they have no other reason. Of course, you can give this money to
Those who go out directly tell the empire that we have enough money here and there is no need for people from the empire to come in. This is quite tough. In this case, people from the empire will naturally have no excuse to go in, but like this
It is also the most dangerous group of people. The empire will let more people look at you. They don’t want this matter to develop like this. No one wants some unstable factors to appear within their empire, but
An organization as big as the militia can't always wait for the Cao Family Trading Company to attack before it can be effective, so the Ministry of War of the Eastern Empire formulated a plan. Didn't the Cao Family Trading Company's troops just start stationing?
The people of the militia can be allowed to conflict with them. If this is the case, wouldn't it give the people of the militia something to do? At the same time, it will also allow the people of the Cao Family Trading Company to deal with these things. At least they can't be so happy.
If it continues to develop, this is not in the interest of the empire. Everyone feels that this method is good. Anyway, the militia is created to confront the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. This is the first thing to start now, and in the future
A series of things will happen when the time comes. By then, these things will be more fun, and such things will not happen. They will also do very good things, but how to operate this matter is still a very serious matter.
Regarding the matter, we must be careful about it. We must let the two of them get into trouble because of this matter, but the scale must still be limited. Now the people of the Cao Family Trading Company like to fight with the three empires at every turn.
It is a very fatal thing for people to sign some contracts or something. You must know that every contract can be said to be bloody, and it can cause huge losses to oneself, so you can not let yourself have any conflicts with the Cao family.
People from the commercial bank don’t want to confront each other head-on, because the people on our side really don’t have that ability, so it’s better to be honest. Otherwise, if a huge war starts just like that, they won’t be able to bear it.
, who doesn’t know that the Cao Family Trading Company’s military strength is developing now, and their other empires, even the Eastern Empire, don’t have much strength to develop their military now. Now they can only put this matter down first.
It would be better if you were honest, and it would be better if you didn't mess around.
Several ministers of the Eastern Empire's Ministry of Commerce studied for three or four days, and they finally chose a place where their own power and that of the Cao Family Trading Company were basically at a balance point. This place was located in the southeast of the Eastern Empire.
It is about 120km away from the county and city occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company. The distance to the nearest city controlled by the Eastern Empire Imperial Court is about 80km. However, because there is a road pruned by the Cao Family Trading Company, it is connected to the city over there.
It's relatively close, after all, the Cao Family Trading Company has a lot of rare things. The reason why their city has developed so fast is because the people here transport the Cao Family Trading Company's goods to them for sale.
About one-tenth of the customers in the empire purchase goods from these people. In fact, there is no way to do this. Any businessman wants to trade directly with the Cao Family Trading Company, but the Cao Family Trading Company stipulates that it must
You have to reach a certain level before you can directly trade with them. At this time, these partners need to be relatively powerful, especially when it comes to funds. If your funds are not good, the people from Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely
I won’t have anything to do with you. Although money can’t mean anything in this world, money can indeed do many things. There are many things that weapons cannot do, but money can do it. This is a matter of choosing yourself.
As a partner, they may become your comrades in the future, so the people of the Cao Family Trading Company naturally have to be extra careful and will not randomly find people to do it. Because this city is in such a position, it can be said that
It is a place with a very developed economy, but the public security is not very good. The main reason is that this is a place where no one cares about the third party. The people of the Cao Family Commercial Bank here are all under the management of the highest agency of the Cao Family Commercial Bank here.
People in the Eastern Empire are under the control of the government, but most people don't like to go to the Yamen of the Eastern Empire to do business because they feel it's too inconvenient. Most of them have to go to Cao's Trading Company.
You go there to do business, but this matter also needs to be classified. The people from Cao's Trading Company can give you the responsibility when buying horses, but not the issue of household registration. Such things are not so easy to solve. After all, this is a rule of law.
Socially speaking, I chose this city because it can be said to be a relatively neutral city. No matter what happens, it can be controlled. There won't be any big storms over there. It's the same here.
It is because of these reasons that everyone here is very active in doing things. They all know that their place may be the first front in the battle with the people from Cao's Trading Company, so they all come out almost at the same time.
After being prepared, the people in the militia began to become restless after receiving the provocative order from above. If their commander hadn't pulled them away, it is estimated that those of them who had not trained for a few days would have followed suit.
The people from the Cao Family Trading Company came to have a friendly war. If it really started like that, it is estimated that these people would all be killed. Such a thing is not possible. The militia here are the hard work of the three major local families.
This Eastern Empire's skill is extremely beautiful, whether it is for the Cao family business or for the local famous families, as long as they really match up, this matter has nothing to do with other people, it is them
It's a matter between the two parties. They can definitely do such a thing.
It happens to be noon today. Although the sun is shining brightly, many people here feel very cold. If you have a thermometer, you can see that the temperature here is already below zero. Generally,
At twelve o'clock at noon, the Cao Family Trading Company's garrison and militiamen will come here to patrol. This is also the only place in the entire city where the Cao Family Trading Company's army and the militia have direct contact. As long as the Cao Family Trading Company's people go anywhere
, whether they are people from the militia or some other organizations, they all hope that they can be related to such a business firm, but Li Cong does not have so much time to greet these people one by one. He still has his own things to do.
, this is not an ordinary job, and you need to consider a lot for yourself. The people from the militia have actually come to two activists in the past two days. These two guys have not shut their mouths from morning to now.
I've been to the forum, and the things they talked about were basically caused by the Cao Family Trading Company. Either their employees couldn't do it here, or what they did was too much. They talked about it for a long time, but it's a pity.
One of the problems is that these ordinary people are obviously not willing to care about these things. They probably have their own affairs. It is okay to let them listen to this, but if they want to go along with them to make trouble, then I'm sorry.
If you were all regular troops, this matter might be successful. But speaking of you all, there is nothing good about this matter. "Damn, what on earth is going on with these bastards? I and them
How many times have we said that we must not do what they said. They asked us to find the Cao family business. It is not a question of how much money. If this matter really gets into trouble, the heads of the brothers will be damaged.
It’s all gone. Although we joined this militia on the surface to serve the empire, in fact we didn’t need the little wages they gave us. There was no need to take off our own heads for such a little money.
Oh, this is the most worthless thing. These monkeys are still capable of deceiving people, damn it." A team leader of the militia said, these people are the ones who have been assigned to take care of by the superiors. They are in the military camp.
All actions are approved, and I can't say anything randomly. Even if I want to complain, I can only say it in the corner, otherwise it will be just a random discussion about Shangguan's issues. When the time comes, they will all
Life was really not going well. The vice-captain next to him also whispered, "Brother, I think something will happen later. This matter is not a trivial matter. We brothers had better not get involved in this."
Something has happened. If something really happens, our heads will not be saved. We are all small people. I think these people all have a good background. They are here to cause trouble. What about the Cao Family Trading Company?
Those garrisons are different from us. We are just a ragtag group. Although our numbers are much larger than others, they are really making a fuss. Haha, we people probably won’t be able to make it through a rendezvous." The captain nodded after hearing this.
Nodding, both of them are old fools, so naturally they will not fall into trouble on such a matter. They both understand how difficult this matter is. If they really make a fuss, look at these little bastards.
They just deal with it how they want. What they don't know is that they just want to let more people here die.
Speaking of which, those stupid young people will do such a thing, and some more powerful people will never do such a thing. They all know that they are just a small role, and there will be no other gains at all.
It is because of the situation in front of them that each of these people saw the fighting in the future, which was doomed to their failure. Those who participated were all incompetent people, and those who were capable basically did not go. These
How could anyone defeat those people? What about those people from the Cao Family Trading Company who are like wolves and tigers? It’s just a fart. The weather today is actually very good, and the entire county is the same as other days.
It started to show signs of life early. None of these people felt that anything was wrong today. In fact, if something happened to ordinary people, they could just live their lives. Those big things have nothing to do with us.
Many people don't care much about these things. In their opinion, they can do whatever they like with these things, as long as they don't interfere with their own lives. It's already eight o'clock in the morning. In the past, at this time, the militiamen
Everyone is about to start morning exercises, but now none of them have the same voice as before. The people around them are curling their lips with disdain, but what they say is nice. They trained with people from Cao's Trading Company, and even the time
It's all the same, this bastard is a liar, who doesn't know that you people are just there to mess around, just for the one tael of silver and food, food and housing. Of course, you only have one-third of it a month.
The time is not bad. After all, many people in this world can't get even one tael of silver a month. Speaking of which, their job is almost like a part-time job. Only four days a month are required.
They have to be all there. Other times, just let it go if something happens, and forget it when nothing happens. They all understand this kind of thing very well. None of these people are very active in doing things. As for those who find out
Officers are basically like this, and training is just about pretending. Today, the people in the militia are in the room inside their base, and many people are listening to a man's speech there. The guy is speaking impassionedly at the moment.
"What did our empire look like in the past? It was definitely very powerful, but look at what our empire has become now. It has almost become a subsidiary of the Cao Family Trading Company like the Southern Empire."
Just look at what we usually do. We have no other way at all. The army is rotten. We are all good men. We must do things that others dare not do. From then on
Starting today, we are going to go out and start publicity to our people. We are going to publicize that they will start to boycott all the industries of the Cao Family Trading Company everywhere. As long as we can do this well, the foundation of the Cao Family Trading Company will basically be
That's all. They are different from the empire. The empire has taxes and will have income no matter what, but the Cao family's business has no income, so their army will not be able to persist.
In the end, they no longer had the ability to attack. In the past, our empire had also done direct military confrontation. Not only our empire, but other empires had also done it, but they all failed. Now we have to
This thing you are doing is the most important thing, and everyone should understand it." This guy said loudly.
Of the people below, only the people in the front row listened very seriously, because these people are the so-called more loyal people. There are always some such passionate people in this militia, and they feel
This person's analysis is very correct. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company probably relied on their strong economic strength to build such a powerful navy and army. Even their airships were developed because of this. They
It's like people have found the Ming Gate of the Cao Family Trading Company. In fact, many people have seen where the Ming Gate of the Cao Family Trading Company is. However, these things are not so easy to obtain. Anyone with a discerning eye on these Ming Gates can
It's obvious, but how to ban it? These are things that the Cao Family Trading Company can prohibit, but they have no way to impose any decent economic sanctions on the Cao Family Trading Company. The most important thing that the Cao Family Trading Company controls is food.
This person can't help but eat food. The food from other places is very expensive, that is, the food made by Cao's Trading Company is relatively cheap. No one will buy high-priced food from others out of patriotism. Besides,
Yes, the food from other places is not as good as the food from Cao Family Trading Company. The other one is the so-called mercenaries. They also want to maximize their own interests when doing things. The people from Cao Family Trading Company gave it to them.
The price is quite reasonable, and it can be directly exchanged for bank notes issued by the Cao Family Commercial Bank. It can be used throughout the entire continent, no matter where you are. This kind of thing is of course very good.
Some other trading houses do not have such ability. They are all using some notes from Cao's Trading House. These people have already decided what they want to do today. Today happens to be a temple fair in their city.
There will be a lot of people there. More than a thousand of them are going to vigorously expose the "evil deeds" of the Cao family business at the temple fair. Such things will also bring a lot of effects to the people, of course.
, all this was foreseen by them. What will really happen when the time comes? This is not something we can consider. It is better to be more honest. In the end, it is better not to be so intense. These people also
It's considered practical action, and they are already preparing to go out. The Cao Family Trading Company is not very clear about all this. After all, it is impossible for me to watch so many activities of the militia all the time. Besides, today's Cao Family Trading Company
People have to do some things at the temple fair, such as giving alms to a lot of people, giving some clothes to homeless people, etc. These are considered charitable deeds, and they must be done to make a name for themselves.
These are some of the orders left by Li Cong at the beginning. Only in this way can people in the society feel that this is a conscientious enterprise. Don't big families often do such things? But they are all
Just do it twice and don’t do much else. These people also have very good ideas in their minds. Anyway, you can’t do these things all the time. Just do it once or twice and it will be good.
, but the people of the Cao Family Commercial Bank can persevere. Of course, the money spent is definitely not a small amount, but it has gained a good reputation among the people. The money spent is absolutely extraordinary.
It's great value. Many people think it's good, but some people think it's just a show, but it's a very good thing to succeed. It's just jealous.
This temple fair is somewhat famous in the local area. Some people from the entire county want to come here. Of course, ordinary people in the city can come, but those from far away may not come. Those from out of town.
The people who come here in the county and towns are also rich people. After all, the transportation fee is not necessarily a small amount. But the people of Cao's Trading Company have made good use of this. For example, here and
The seven county towns under the county city used to have carriages from the Cao Family Trading Company. The Cao Family Trading Company stipulated that during the temple fair, ten people could come for free. The top ten people each day were the ones, and the rest were allowed to come to the temple fair.
I came here with a shopping coupon from Cao's Commercial Bank. As long as I have five taels of silver in various consumer units of Cao's Commercial Bank, I can get you at half price. This kind of thing has never happened to me before.
Yes, these people are not fools. Of course they are willing to come and have a look. This kind of thing only happens once every few years. If this happens once, I can have a good talk with those people in my hometown.
You have some bragging rights, right? Anyway, you need to buy food and stuff, so why not do this properly? You will have to buy things like this sooner or later. Take this opportunity to go to the city and have a look.
Not bad, a series of people are very good at doing things, and they all know what the intentions of the Cao Family Trading Company are. These people from the militia are here today to talk about some of the economic harm of the Cao Family Trading Company.
, after arriving here, they saw that there were at least 100,000 people here. Damn it, how could so many people suddenly come? These people didn’t know what to say to them. They themselves didn’t understand this principle.
I don’t know much about it, but this is already a glimpse of the propaganda war on earth. Many people were surrounding it, and a guy stood on the stage and said loudly, “Fellow folks, this is the foundation for the establishment of our militia.
It is to prevent the Cao Family Trading Company from invading us. You don’t know that in the area occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company, the people are living in dire straits. Their lives are not ordinary hardships. Every day
Being able to have enough to eat is the most important thing they think about. Don’t think that just because the Cao Family Trading Company is giving you some small favors now, you feel that they are treating you well. In fact, these are all incorrect things. These people usually
Things are not like this back then. They do things in a double-dealing manner and try to win over you. But once they enter their jurisdiction, these people will lose their conscience. The former Southern Empire was
Very powerful, except for our Eastern Empire, they are pretty good, but now look at what they have become, they have almost become affiliated with the Cao Family Trading Company. This is definitely not alarmist, I believe everyone knows it.
Yes, the Cao Family Trading Company carried out a series of road construction projects in the Southern Empire. Many people there were taken there for free and were given only a small amount of food every day. It is said that tens of thousands of people were killed or injured every day. They
The roads are good, but they are all piled up with human blood..." These people are talking nonsense here so shamelessly. These people among the common people have never been to the Southern Empire, and they are still listening to it.
It's almost the same. The people of the Eastern Empire basically love the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. After all, their life in this empire is pretty good. After the Cao Family Trading Company came, they didn't feel very comfortable.
.
However, as the Cao Family Trading Company began to take root in the Eastern Empire, these people finally understood how beneficial the Cao Family Trading Company was to them. Each of these people also felt that their lives were really getting better.
, but when they heard how the Cao Family Trading Company treated some of their common people, my goodness, these people were very excited at this time. The person who spoke above saw that this was about to succeed,
At this time, as long as you take the lead, you can immediately follow others to fight with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, and you can directly destroy the Cao Family Trading Company's industry and nothing will be left. But will such a thing happen?
? There are still many people who can clearly see the little tricks of the militia. In fact, there is no need for people from the Cao Family Trading Company to come forward. There are also some sensible people among the common people. No, a retired soldier stood up and spoke.
This guy said, "Why is what you said different from what I met? You must know that I stayed at the Cao Family Trading Company for a long time, and I went there because of the defeat of our empire.
Although I'm not very good, I can't say that I'm very bad. I have time to work for them. Although I'm a little tired, it's not as difficult as you said, and they all give me work according to the number of days.
My salary is a little more than that of the workers here. Of course, it cannot be compared with the people in the Cao Family Trading Company. But compared with the coolies in our empire, it is still very good." This guy.
After speaking, several people immediately agreed. After all, the Cao Family Trading Company is already a big force in the Eastern Empire, and there are many people who eat with them. Now these people want to talk about this matter. They cannot let it go.
If the people in the militia vilified the Cao Family Trading Company so much, and if the common people became disgusted with the Cao Family Trading Company, this matter would really be hard to talk about, and a lot of things would really happen. They all know what is going on right now.
Regarding the matter, the two sides immediately started to argue. It was a temple fair, but they ended up like this. Both sides were very reasonable at the beginning, and basically they would not take action. Even if they did, they would not do anything.
It's all very subtle, but just when they were having a fight, a guy from the militia called out the real murderer. A crossbow arrow came from nowhere and shot this guy to death. This*
** Something big has happened. You must know that it doesn't matter if one or several people die on the battlefield, because that place will harvest people's lives, but now they are not on the battlefield, but now in the rear.
In the military camp, many people would feel uncomfortable if something like this happened, and they are not fools. It seems that someone made a mistake, and some serious people left quickly. Are you kidding me?
The people of the Cao Family Trading Company will never kill the people of the militia on such an occasion. They are two opposing organizations. Unless all the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are lunatics, they will never let this happen.
Even if it happened, they wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, there are no military personnel from the Cao Family Trading Company here. How could there be anyone? Even if they want to kill someone, there is no need to use it on such an occasion.
The serial crossbow in his hand killed people. This matter can be said to be full of loopholes, but there is no problem. The vigilante groups will not consider these things now. What they are thinking about is how to break out this matter. As for whether this matter will be a
What it looks like is not a question we need to consider.
"Brothers, have you seen it? These are the people from the Cao Family Trading Company. They are all insidious villains. Our brothers from the militia died like this today. Can we bear it? That is impossible. If
If we can tolerate such things, we will no longer be men. This must have been planned by the people of the Cao family business for a long time. Brothers, fight with them and avenge our brothers." These are some young people.
, they are also some bloody people. Now as long as they come out for a small amount, other people will follow. These are young people, impulsive young people. Many people will do this. They
A swarm of swarms rushed towards the place where the Cao Family Trading Company was giving alms. There were some clerks from the Cao Family Trading Company. They had no power to resist the thousands of people from the militia, and they were beaten immediately.
He was bruised and bruised, but people here didn't dare to kill anyone. After all, it was illegal. The imperial court had signed a snack arbitration agreement with the Cao Family Trading Company. It was said that if someone from the Cao Family Trading Company broke the law, it would not be the responsibility of the Eastern Empire.
, they will take it back by themselves, and I will give you an explanation when the time comes, but this is simply impossible. If they take it back, nothing will happen to them. The one who will suffer the loss will still be themselves. Such things happen to you yourself.
But you know it very clearly, so there is no need to do anything to us in this way, and we will not believe such things. You are all immature, and there are dozens of Cao Family Trading Firms.
The guy was beaten so hard that he couldn't even stand up. This was not bad, when none of us in Cao's Trading Company had any troops, right? Immediately, a platoon of about 150 people came over, fully armed, and they picked up their own serial crossbows.
As mentioned above, you can use force as long as your life is in danger. As for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, as long as they do not come to provoke us, such as the militia of the Eastern Empire, they can follow us.
It doesn't matter to us, but if you come to provoke us, we will definitely let you all know how big a fuss you are making about this matter. These people are all running here, especially the neat pace when they run. Look at the weapons in their hands.
, Good guy, this is not on the same level as my own. These things of my own are like burning fire sticks. How can I fight with others? Some people in the militia feel a little bad at this time.
Don't you want to leave earlier? But if you leave so early, won't it be difficult to say what happens next? I am still a member of the militia? That is impossible, and those people will not let me go.
Yes, but if you don't leave, look at the matter in front of you. Is this something you can handle? These people are already standing in line. If their commander just says a word, the serial crossbow will really
Although they have never been on the battlefield, they also know that these Cao Family Trading Company's troops can kill thousands of people against the regular army of the Eastern Empire, let alone their rabble of more than a thousand people.
At this time, the local armies of the Eastern Empire also came over in neat steps. The people of the militia were relieved at this time, but these people seemed to be outside the scope of preparation. What on earth did the people in these armies do?
Come on, who are they here to help? They look very neutral. Are they not here to help us? (To be continued...)
