Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Xiao Yun said, "Of course there is. For example, the Kingdom of Gou Lan has been occupied. It has to belong to a noble family, the linen that they have planted. Of course it should be sold at the price of Sun Moon Country. Do you think those powerful forces will keep the linen at a low price? "    

    

Hong Xiluo shook his head with a bitter smile. "It should not be any cheaper."    

    

" Then do you think it is because of the greed of the nobility or other reasons? "    

    

"Greed is only one aspect, but I always feel that if we can maintain the price... The nobility and aristocracy won't increase too much. After all, the output is still there. " Quantity. " A lot. If the price were to rise, it would be difficult to sell. I keep feeling that there are other reasons. "    

    

Hong Xiluo could sense something, but he couldn't think of any details. It was hard to say.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It is actually very simple. It is wages!"    

    

"Pay?"    

    

"If it was someone from Sun Moon Country who planted linen, no matter how much pressure they put on them, they are all officials of Sun Moon Country. They need to enjoy the benefits that they deserve. Let's not talk about other things, there is always food and clothes to eat, right? If it was too harsh, the people there would probably not be able to bear it. It was even possible for chaos to occur. This is a matter of a person's mental awareness."    

    

" Knowledge? "    

    

"[On the other hand, Gou Lan is a small country, and in the eyes of their people, they are a small country.] It is normal for them to live in poverty, and it is normal for them to not be able to eat meat all year round. If they have never seen a good life, they will not realize that they are living in hell. In fact, they can even live happily! This is the difference. "    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and continued," Cheap labor is the fundamental reason why the goods in a region are cheap. It is also because of this that the linen in Gou Lan, as well as the transportation fee... It is cheaper than the linen in the Sun Moon Country."    

    

He raised his head and looked into the distance.    

    

Then he sneered and said, "In the early years of Sun Moon Country, I heard that it expanded everywhere and crazily increased its territory. But in recent years, it has been very rare to touch the surrounding countries. You merchants don't understand, but the royal family has probably long been aware of this. There are some places that are troublesome after being occupied, only that they are not occupied... Only when everyone is in a state of cooperation will they be able to own cheaper products. Even resources can be used to produce their own products... Sell it outside, why? Because people from other countries live a poor life! Only the poor people can bring benefits to themselves. Then why not let this poverty grow on other countries."    

    

Hong Xiluo suddenly understood!    

    

After a while, he muttered, "No wonder, recently a few generals requested to fight, His Majesty did not agree, so it is like this..."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Martial people, what do you know about economics? What do they know about ruling a country? Take Gou Lan Kingdom as an example. You really took it. Then the linen is expensive, this is the cheapest kind of fabric for the people... It is also the foundation of the people who can wear warm clothes that will be broken. At that time, the people of the world will find out that they are doing the same thing. In the past, they could buy a few pieces of clothing, but now they could only buy one. What did they think? What they could think of was that they would feel that their country was weak. That was all. It could be said that the gains outweighed the gains, and it was even detrimental to the country. Who would do such a thing?"    

    

Hong Xiluo was even more enlightened when he heard this.    

    

He bowed to the end and said in a deep voice, "Listening to the words of the Lord is like being enlightened. Young Master is truly a genius!"    

    

Old Man Ma, who was standing beside him, had a burning face.    

    

He was even jumping up and down in excitement.    

    

After all, Xiao Yun was just a hurried passerby to the Sun Moon Country.    

    

What ability did he have? No matter how talented he was, it had nothing to do with the Sun Moon Country.    

    

On the contrary, the Molan Country was different!    

    

Xiao Yun had a partnership with the Molan Country. The leaf Xiao Yun mentioned was destined to make the Molan Country stronger in the near future.    

    

Furthermore, in order to protect his supply of raw materials, Xiao Yun would definitely think of ways to protect the Molan Country!    

    

What else in the world could be more reassuring than this?    

    

Old Man Ma's attitude made the people of Molan Country beside him feel shocked.    

    

But at the same time, they could understand.    

    

After all, what Xiao Yun said made them understand how great Xiao Yun was.    

    

Xiao Yun turned his head and asked, "People of Sun Moon Country asked you to send something to Gou Lan Country. What is it?"    

    

The old man actually didn't want to say it, but at this moment, he realized that he had no other choice.    

    

"In Molan Country, all business in Sun Moon Country is actually smuggling. It is only in the black market."    

    

"Why?"    

    

"The reason is that the Sun Moon Country does not open any bottlenecks to the Molan Country. We do not accept any goods. We want to sell the goods in the Molan Country. We have to travel a long distance. However, there were some goods that couldn't be transported that far. He could only use some methods to sell them to Sun Moon Country. For example, this batch of refined iron was originally sent to the border of the Sun Moon Country. Then, it would be taken over by the people in the black markets. I didn't think that they would insist on us sending this batch of refined iron to Gou Lan! Sigh, we really don't want to send it. Not only is the journey far away... The key is the danger. As long as the Sun Moon Country's army discovers us... They can treat us as spies and steal our goods... There's no way to reason with the people who killed us. "    

    

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "Then why did you send them back? Aren't you afraid that this is their plot? For the sake of stealing your goods?"    

    

The old man sighed and said," I've thought about it before. But... they gave us the money first and asked us to send the money back first. Then they went to deliver the goods, and on the way, they even gave the guide to clear the level. That is something we have never gotten before! To be honest, as long as we have this road guide, there are too many things that we can do. After that, it will be more convenient to sell, so..."    

    

"So you're tempted?"    

    

"That's right..."    

    

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes.    

    

He turned around and looked at Hong Xiluo.    

    

"Do you know what their luck is?"    

    

Hong Xiluo gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't know before."    

    

"Now you know?"    

    

"They know. They don't need to lie, because we can check the goods."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "So, what does this iron mean? Can you guess?"    

    

Hong Xiluo gritted his teeth and said, "If my guess is correct, I am afraid there will be some trouble in Sun Moon Country. Fine iron. Salt was originally a prohibited item in the Sun Moon Country. Someone actually bought Refined Iron from the Molan Country. The amount of refined iron could not be stored in the vault. What were these people trying to do? Furthermore, the guide to clearing the level was not something that anyone could easily obtain. Furthermore, they can allow a group of people from the Molan Country to cross the Sun Moon Country. I'm afraid that the power behind these people isn't small..."    

    

When he spoke up to here, Hong Xiluo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.    

    

This was too terrifying!    

    

Although this seemed like a small matter, there might be a huge matter hidden within!    

    

He was somewhat anxious.    

    

He wanted to rush back to Sun Moon Country and report this news.    

    

Xiao Yun watched from the side, and his brows suddenly trembled.    

    

He seemed to have thought of something incredible.    

    

Then he said to those people from Molan Country, "Molan Country, logically speaking, you should at least be able to protect your lives now, but you have already taken the risk to sell iron ore... This iron ore, in Molan Country, only belongs to the country. If your country sells it, then it will be like selling a pot of iron. What happened? "    

    

Old Man Ma also had a worried look on his face.    

    

"Sigh..."    

    

The old man from Molan Country let out a long sigh and said, "To tell you the truth, our Molan Country... is in a famine. The land in Molan Country is already scarce, but now that the disaster has passed, even if we take out all the food in the national treasury, it is not enough to fill the people's stomachs. Let's not even mention letting them live for the next year, so they can sell whatever they have now. If they could exchange for some grain, then... Perhaps they can save a few more lives! The king even took out his own dragon throne to sell gold, even the empress dowager took out her own jewelry. Let the merchant caravan sell it to other countries..."    

    

Xiao Yun frowned.    

    

He looked at Old Man Ma, who was jumping up and down anxiously, and didn't say anything for the time being.    

    

As expected, Old Man Ma shouted loudly, "Where is the money I asked someone to send back? That is quite a lot of money, how can it not be enough to buy food?"    

    

The old man from Molan Country burst into tears.    

    

"They are a bunch of beasts, they are all beasts! Those surrounding countries knew that the Molan Country was in trouble, so they raised the price of grain. The price of grain is more than five times higher than usual! We really can't afford it, but we still want to buy it... "
