Dear Mr. Li Minghui, are we friends, right?
Li Minghui, who was drinking tea and watching a drama in the office of the Presidential Office, suddenly received such a strange harassing call.
The reason why it is a harassing call is not because of the identity of the caller, but because this guy called with the inside line but only asked such an inexplicable question.
This is no less than the person next to him who suddenly sent a message during his working hours to ask if he still loves himself.
Of course...is there something happened to the exercise?
He glanced at the schedule subconsciously and it seemed that today there was nothing worth mentioning except for a landing exercise by the Alliance Burning Corps on the North Beach.
However, Fang Chang's next sentence was beyond his expectations.
That's not, the exercise went smoothly, but I noticed that you were planning to sell a battleship similar to the Haiya to the Empire. Although this call may be a bit redundant, I still want to confirm the problem of that main gun.The shelter is a rescue organ, and we do not want the technology we discover to be used
Oh, that's all, Li Minghui suddenly realized it, then laughed and said, "Don't worry about this, we are not interested in causing trouble for ourselves."
By the way, isn’t this guy a member of the board of directors of Beidao Heavy Industry? How can you not know about such a large arms sales project?
Is it interesting to ask so knowingly
etc.
Li Minghui suddenly reacted.
Could it be that the alliance manager is asking?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After all, with Mr. Fang Chang's IQ, he would not be able to see such obvious things.
After all, this business cannot be made unilaterally by the South China Sea Alliance. The authorities just helped to take the lead in discussing the big order, and then took a share of the advance payment (tax). When will the shipyard have the final say when delivery, whether to deliver, whether the delivery is delivered, and whether the cabin is leaking?
And if you take a step back, and when the survivors of the Bharat Province really achieve unity, what if you ship it?
The enemy of survivors who are really troubled by then should be the enemy of survivors, such as the Willant people who are still dreaming of conquering the world, rather than the survivors of the valley provinces that have been united and even the southern waters.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his official tone and cleared his throat and said seriously.
For us, the reputation of the Empire is somewhere between Torch and Charas, and we have no reason to deliver a piece of equipment to the Empire that is now that could threaten our own.But from my point of view, it is difficult for me to refuse to send money to my door. We need money, and things are that simple... In addition, say hello to your managers for me, the survivors of the South China Sea Alliance are welcome to visit the southern waters at any time.
Fang Chang probably guessed what he was misunderstanding, but did not expose his misunderstanding, but just smiled faintly.
I get it, I wish you a happy life.In addition, I will tell you your greetings to Mr. Manager, who has always wanted to come here to see it, but I am afraid that it will take until the war is over.
The phone hangs up.
Fang Chang smiled and picked up the newspaper with an exaggerated title, threw it to the stunned mosquito, then tapped his index finger on the VM, ending the voice synchronization.
The NPCs in this game are more realistic than you think, and they are much smarter... Of course, Duke Nihak is an exception, he is real in another sense.
Thinking that not all NPCs are smart, Fang Chang put a patch after this sentence and coughed lightly.
Maybe it was a problem of education, maybe it was the slaves of the Bharat Province who spoiled him. In short, he could not understand that civilization was the product of the game for the time being, but understood civilization as something natural.He thought no one could see his cleverness and treated others as a fool, but in fact, everyone could see it. He was too lazy to expose it, and he calmly responded to him...this was that simple.
He recorded a call.
Although he felt that the manager must know everything, in order to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings, he would take the initiative to report it.
After all, he really didn't want to be called back by Xiaoyu to ask questions.
The mosquito was stunned for a while and finally gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Awesome!So dirty...
I'll just think you're praising me.
Fang Chang smiled faintly, took the waiter's hand and thanked Mojito, and then continued slowly.
To answer your previous question, I never thought of being their godfather.But the truth is as you can see... At least before their wings grow hard, they really have to call me dad.
Just like the declaration made by the manager on that day, the currency of the alliance can buy all goods, but no currency allows the transaction of honor and dignity.
Do you think you're OK again?
Then let's try it.
……
For Nihak, 30 billion Xilan coins and 50 million silver coins are trivial matters.
After all, even if he lost the Port of Golden Gallon, he was still the noble Duke, and at most he only lost the hat of a governor.
However, for the survivors of Huzhou and Baozhou, especially those workshop owners who bought Alliance brand sewing machines, as well as short-term workers and long-term workers who stepped on the sewing machines and smoked, they were thrusting into complaints with each other, and their waists were bleeding heavily.
The city of Baihu City.
The stall, which is usually very lively, was even more lively this time. In front of an empty stall, I saw middle-aged and young men wearing long blouses and short blouses.
Some of them are the owners of nearby tailor shops, some are the tailors who work for the masters in nearby farms, and some are the servants in nearby garment factories.
These people are tall, short, fat, and thin. The difference in their clothes. The skin color and temperament is even greater than that of cows and people. However, the expressions on their faces are surprisingly consistent, and the words "righteous indignation" are written in their angry eyes without exception.
An old man who looked quite prestigious walked in front, pointing to the white words written on the blackboard, his index finger and beard trembling.
One kilogram of cotton cloth fifty Xilan?!Are you crazy about money?!
When the people behind saw someone standing up, they also shouted: That's it!
Too much!
Everyone is open to business, how can you be so unreasonable!
The guy sitting behind the stall looked ignorant, glanced at the old man who opened the tailor shop, and then looked at the group of guys who were making excitement behind him, and said impatiently.
Be reasonable?Hehe, you think it’s expensive today at fifty. When it’s going to rise to sixty tomorrow, I see what else you say.Just this price, do you want it?
Everyone around the stall was in an uproar when they heard this, but the guy sitting behind the stall was not afraid at all, but instead snatched his earwax.
Two burly men stood next to the stall, like two ferocious tigers, staring at the survivors so hard that they dared not say much.
Baihu City is the largest settlement in Huzhou. This cloth city located in Baihu City is also the largest cloth trading market in Huzhou. It has nothing to do with the men of the Tiger Army. Can you open a business here?
I want to eat nothing!
But it is indeed strange that the price of this cloth was not so exaggerated. A kilogram of cotton was only 10 to 15 Xilan, and it was only 20 to 30 Xilan when doubled into cotton. It was sold to merchants in Jinjialun Port for 16 to 24 gallons, and occasionally settled in silver coins.
That is, 16 to 24 silver coins per kilogram of cotton.
The textile industry was the first industry to flow into Huzhou from Jingalun Port, and Huzhou's affordable cotton cloth also supported half of the prosperity of Jingalun Port's export trade.
However, I don’t know what happened recently. A large group of merchants suddenly rushed over from the port of Jinjialun. Xilan coins were stuffed into his boss’s hands in sacks. Not only did they eat up all the inventory of the textile factory, but they even ordered next year’s orders.
Those guys were like crazy, as if the money in their hands was not their own money, but was obtained by some kind of cheapness.
Although the wealthy businessmen in Jinjialun Port are an inherent impression of the survivors in Tiger State, they were not so crazy before.
Gallons and Xilan coins have an unwritten but recognized exchange rate, usually 4 gallons for 5 Xilans.
These people also exchange their Xilan coins for gallons unless they get cheaper exchange rates from banks or elsewhere.
He was just a guy, so naturally he didn't know where those merchants got so much Xilan coins. I just heard that the money was indeed issued by the royal family.
Those merchants were afraid that they would not accept it, so they specially brought tickets issued by the lending bank, which were enough to prove that the money was clean and fine.
Although it is strange, the door-to-door transactions must be done, so the inventory of the entire textile factory in Huzhou was bought out.
Generally speaking, most of the cloth flowing from textile mills into cloth markets are the bulk cargo left by garment factories, but this time, the major textile mills were squeezed out by the flooded Xilan coins, and the cloth circulating in the market naturally could only increase.
The crowd squeezed in front of the stall and pushed them, but no one dared to sway on the warlord's territory, so he could only swallow his breath.
Some servants who made clothes for the master paid readily. Anyway, they didn't spend their own money, and their master was even less money.
Some shop owners calculated by counting their fingers and found that they would lose money when they bought materials at this price and went back to make clothes, so they left cursed.
Some people heard that the price of cloth was still rising and thought that they could speculate, so they quickly took out Xilan coins and bought them first.
More residents passing by were talking about whether something big happened in Mammoth City.
There were even people who were panicked about Alayan's defeat, saying that the shroud and bandages on the front line were in a hurry, which made the price of this cloth soared.
However, this analysis seems too one-sided.
After all, it is not just the price of cloth, but the messy things such as sugar cane, sugar, soybeans, corn, etc. are rising rapidly.
Some people cursed the Moon clan, thinking that it was the unclean blood, and cursed the imperial destiny. Only by drawing a large formation with their blood can the curse be solved.
Some also cursed the merchants in Jinjialun Port. After all, those guys who took advantage of the situation are indeed unethical, and the origin of this Xilan coin is definitely not glorious.
Some knowledgeable people cursed Chu Guang, the alliance manager who was commanding the front line of Haiya Province.
The reason why I am knowledgeable is that people who have not read a few second-hand newspapers may not necessarily know the name of the alliance manager.
The bitterness in the cocoon is here. Due to the lack of channels to obtain information, sometimes I only see the slap when I get slap, but I don’t know where the slap is.
I don't even know where the slap came from.
On the other side, the suburbs of Baihu City.
Hundreds of pedal sewing machines were squeezed into the factory building of more than ten acres, and the sound of rululu kept ringing in the factory building.
This garment factory, called Falhan, was opened by a tiger merchant named Falhan. It is not only the largest garment factory in the entire Baihu City, but also the earliest factory in the entire Huzhou.
Two months ago, Chief Jeha Wanfu, the top commander of the Tiger Army, spent a small amount of money to buy the factory, and then added an additional 10 million gallons of investment to purchase a batch of equipment from the Port of Golden Gallon to expand the production scale of the factory.
And the factory did not disappoint General Jeha's expectations.
Today, one-fifth of the towels, curtains, bedding and shirts used by residents of Golden Gallon Port are produced here.
The tiger businessman who sold the factory at the beginning was probably regretful.
The entire factory is like a money printing machine, supplying cash milk to the Tiger Army, so that the Tiger Army is now replaced with the alliance-style LD-47, just like the defenders of Jin Jialun Port, and the equipment is much better than the Gray Wolf Army.
Just when the long-term workers stepped on the sewing machine and wanted to fly, the accountant in charge also pressed the calculator quickly and calculated the accounts meticulously towards the account book.
Although the goods exported from Huzhou to Jinjialun Port are earned in gallons, that is, foreign exchange, this gallon cannot be directly used in Huzhou.
Whether it is a dinar, a silver coin or a gallon, it needs to be deposited into the factory in the Baihucheng Money House or the bank account after settlement.
After all, the Empire is not the South China Sea Alliance where the local currency collapses. In a legal sense, neither gallons nor silver coins cannot be circulated directly within the empire. At most, it is only used by someone in private.
Factory can use foreign exchange balances to purchase equipment from Golden Gallon Port, but the gallon must be exchanged for Xilan coins to purchase raw materials within the empire and pay workers for wages.
Therefore, a routine task that the accountant has to do every month, using the bank's remittance records to confirm which part of the gallons to settle the exchange, which part of the gallon is used for equipment procurement or to pay the fees for external technicians.
The banks in Baihucheng have relatively loose management of foreign exchange, mainly because the warlords don’t understand this thing very well, and they usually throw it to the people below to take care of it.
The people below didn't understand either, so they copied according to the model of Jin Jialun Port and saw what those who became fat first would do.
It is precisely because of this that ordinary owners can decide when to settle the foreign exchange and how much to settle. Those who save money must use silver coins and report to the bank.
However, this month is quite strange.
First, the payment received by the garment factory was forced to settle into Xilan coins at the exchange rate last month, and then the profit in the account book was fucked from more than 10 million Xilan coins at the beginning of the month to negative two million, which scared him, the old man in charge of the account.
The first one is actually nothing. This garment factory is the industry of warlords, and the money house for settlement of foreign exchange was also opened by the military men of Huzhou.
He was too lazy to care about those masters' left hand and right hand. No matter which pocket the money is placed, it is in the master's pocket. As long as you know where it goes, it is good.
If you really want to worry, they are those small workshops. After all, the gallons and even silver coins that have not been settled in the bank are earned by themselves. The bank in Baihu City uses this trick to confiscate the silver coins in their accounts. It is true that they don’t plan to ask for any credibility.
However, the second question is what kills him.Why are the profits gone?
What about money?
Why are you getting poorer and poorer as you produce?
The old man was confused, drooled on his index finger, and tried to calmly flip through the account book in his hand, and finally found clues in the raw materials.
In just one month, the price of cotton cloth has doubled, and even the most stable linen has risen by 80%.
The profits in the first half of the month were directly swallowed up by the price increase of raw materials in the second half of the month. No wonder they lost 2 million Xilan coins until the end of the month.
This is not a small matter.
At least I made a little profit in the first half of the month, but I only lost so much.
If this trend continues, they may lose 20 million Xilan coins next month. They will go bankrupt in at most half a year!
The accounting management was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He was about to get up to find the factory manager, but the foreman on duty suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. He looked at him sitting behind the table and said carefully.
Master………The workers are clamoring to ask for wages. Do you think you can pay the money to them first?
In fact, it was not a big deal to owe a week or two wages. Those freelance people who work as long-term workers are very hard-working and very sympathetic.
However, I don’t know what happened recently. The price of the entire Baihu City was not rising except for red clay, and even the soybean meal for feeding animals increased.
The look of the accountant froze, and he just moved away from the chair and sat back again, glaring at the foreman with a dark face.
I haven't finished my account yet, what are you urging me to!
The foreman said with a bitter face.
Master, it’s not that I urge you, but I’m not in a hurry, mainly those who work.
He waved his pen impatiently and made a gesture of being busy.
Let them work first. Will General Jeha's family business be as big as his own, and he will lose the little money for them?If you like to do it, don’t get out of it, don’t bother me to count the money.
The foreman looked depressed and complained, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only leave the office with his head down.
Over the whole day, the entire Baihu City seemed to be in a bad mood, from the small business market to the factory that does big business.
People who work are busy from morning to night, and those who settle accounts are busy from night to morning, but no one sees where the Xilan coins have gone.
In addition to farmers selling cash crops such as cotton, sugar cane, etc., as well as the nobles in the manor.
They are at the upstream or source of the industrial chain, and they are the least affected, and can even be said to be the biggest beneficiaries of this round of active inflation.
Of course, this is only now.
Soon they will find that the fertilizer originally sold for 100 Xilan coins will soar by two or three times, and the art and makeup bought by the second wife also doubled.
Because these things have to be imported from Golden Gallon Port for the time being using foreign exchange.
Going past the plantation and down there are weaving and sugar-making.These relatively upstream large factories are not bad, and they can pass some of the costs to the downstream weaving and food processing industries.
However, this has caused trouble to the downstream industries. The further down, the more you can feel the biting cold.
Especially for those shop owners who need to use silver coins to expand production and want to compete with merchants in Golden Gallon Port for foreign trade orders, the pain will be particularly long.
After all, the loan of 30 billion Xilan coins was just the first blow for Duke Nihak to castrate himself. The advance payment of 50 million silver coins was the most ruthless blow, which directly made the shop owners who were still in the primitive accumulation stage of Huzhou and Baozhou work for half a year in vain.
Nihak's good deeds directly emptied the foreign reserves of the Imperial Royal Mint, and it is estimated that there will be a monthly expenditure of 10 million silver coins.
The Imperial Royal Mint could not produce enough silver coins, so it could only tighten the faucet to reduce the quota for money shops and banks along the Imperial Yongliu River to exchange Xilan coins for silver coins.
The bank in Baihu City could not exchange Xilan coins for silver coins, and even the warlord's own factory exchange needs could not be met, let alone meet the small workshops and shop owners in Huzhou.
Not only did they close the channels for the little sparrows to exchange silver coins, but they also confiscated the silver coins in their pockets and forcibly exchanged them for Xilan coins.
Some small workshops with a little technical content were about to evolve into factories, but before they could compete with the factory in Jinjialun Port or were picked by warlords, they exploded on the spot.
A few bankrupt operators have turned their attention to the distant Mammoth State. They heard that they are issuing their own currency, just like the Port of Golden Gallon, and are welcome to invest in it.
If you come here with your equipment, you can use the equipment as collateral to get a loan with extremely low interest.
You can even borrow silver coins.
Although it is also a warlord territory, the local area also has its own advantages. One is that it is closer to Silver Moon Bay, and the other is a parish with Silver Moon Church.
Those guys who like cats not only open churches in the parish, but also open banks.
Even though there are uncertainties caused by war in Mammoth State and there has just been flooding there, it is really delicious to be able to use equipment as a mortgage to get silver coins...
In the final analysis, the foundation of the empire is still too thin.
It has been a few months since the embargo was lifted. If you save up for decades of money, it may not be so fast.
Even if it is about to explode, it will take ten or twenty years to slowly explode.
This is the impact on the ecology of the industrial chain, and the same is true for the turmoil of the food chain.
Big fish eat small fish when they are hungry, and small fish eat shrimp when they are hungry. In the end, they are the microorganisms and mayflies who suffer.
The serfs could at least drink soup with the master, but the free people working in the factory could not find a place to go back to farm.
The red clay, which was almost unsold, became popular again, and there were more people picking up soil in the empty wilderness.
They are actually lucky.
What is the situation in other states outside Huzhou and Leopard State? Even residents of Jinjialun Port standing at the end of Yongliu River may not know.
However, all of this has no impact on the sunny South China Sea Alliance.
The generous Grand Duke Nihak became the hottest figure in Beidao.
The Survivor Daily, which had just opened in Kitajima, wrote a separate column for him, praising the 30 billion donations and calling him a role model for being thrifty and thrifty.
Li Minghui called him the Bharat Province a long time ago, but later, due to protest by the ID holder himself, he changed to General McClass of the Bharat Province when he was published in the newspaper.
I think it is impossible for the Willant to come to the distant East to cause trouble for such a nonsense.
Moreover, the survivors of the Bharat Province were extremely obsessed with the Willant people, and this flattery was louder than the previous one.
People always have to be prosperous for a while before they are buried, and the great duke of the empire is no exception.
Nihak was so happy every day during this period, his face was rosy and he was like he was injected with chicken blood. He was not even afraid of occasionally meeting those guys who had caught him.
Although winter had just revealed a little tail, he felt that he and the spring of the empire seemed to have come together.
Just when the warlords in Huzhou and Baozhou scratched their heads in confusion and couldn't figure out where their little money had gone, Alayan, who was far away from the front line of Mammoth State, was also confused with capital letters.
However, the latter was not because he lost money, but because his command was so confused by the elusive guerrillas that he could not find the North.
The fierce firepower made him think that the league had ended in person!
Not just firepower.
In addition, the number of people in the Resistance Army is also more and more fighting, the more they fight, the more they become more and more cunning they fight.
At first, they were just fighting guerrillas in the state boundaries of Mammoth State, and guerrillas began to appear in Mazhou and Birdzhou.
These people are specifically focused on the supply line of the Gray Wolf Army, which makes the transportation teams that escort materials dare not walk at night, and they dare not hang the royal double-sword flag.
What's even more terrible is that his spies also discovered that these rebels built a deep-water port and a railway connecting the deep-water port in Mammoth City.
After hearing this, Alayan almost vomited blood without being angry.Where did these local dogs get the steel and cement?!Could it be given by the alliance?
Is that dog-day Lasi the illegitimate son of the alliance manager?!
Just when he was angry, his confidant handed him a secret letter, saying that the patrol soldiers picked it up on the front line.
...To General Alayan:
With the talent of a general, he can completely break up the ground and be named a king. Why should he lose his best years for a dying empire?
Now the empire is in a dead end, and everything is caused by Wu Tuo.
If you join me, I will not only let you live a life, but also let you be the commander of the resistance army.If you don’t believe me, you can choose a state to go by yourself. As long as you don’t move me, I promise that my subordinates will not step into your territory.
Alayan opened the letter and saw his teeth clattering.
This dog thief!
But after winning a few games by chance, it was so arrogant!
He crushed the letter into a ball and smashed it on the candlestick with a hatred, but he didn't want to smash the candlestick over and almost burned the command tent.
The fire was rescued, but the gray wolf army was panicked.
More and more incomprehensible confusion torture everyone in the empire from the front to the rear, and opposite to it is the increasingly passionate shouting of the Survivors Daily in the Port of Golden Gallon.
A huge and unprecedented wave is brewing in the crowded wave, which is a more powerful and powerful energy than nuclear weapons.
That is the energy of progress!
Even Yodu, who had once persuaded Lasi to stay, had to admit that after seeing the news in the newspaper, perhaps this time I really misunderstood.
How could the guy who could stand up when everyone was buried in their heads and dared not breathe loudly, the guy who was timid and endured the exploitation but dared to reach out to get a gun?
Just like the words the officers of the alliance said when they laughed at them, the kings cried day and night, could they scold Wu Tuo to death?
In the end, he really stood up.
Maybe he was too demanding on him.
Whenever the night is late, Yodu always can't help but think about it, regretting that he didn't have a drink with him when he practiced it.
The four million square kilometers of province is already in turmoil.
But just before that storm finally came, a more intense and wider storm came first.
After two months of preparation, the horn of the southern offense finally sounded again!
Li Minghui, who was drinking tea and watching a drama in the office of the Presidential Office, suddenly received such a strange harassing call.
The reason why it is a harassing call is not because of the identity of the caller, but because this guy called with the inside line but only asked such an inexplicable question.
This is no less than the person next to him who suddenly sent a message during his working hours to ask if he still loves himself.
Of course...is there something happened to the exercise?
He glanced at the schedule subconsciously and it seemed that today there was nothing worth mentioning except for a landing exercise by the Alliance Burning Corps on the North Beach.
However, Fang Chang's next sentence was beyond his expectations.
That's not, the exercise went smoothly, but I noticed that you were planning to sell a battleship similar to the Haiya to the Empire. Although this call may be a bit redundant, I still want to confirm the problem of that main gun.The shelter is a rescue organ, and we do not want the technology we discover to be used
Oh, that's all, Li Minghui suddenly realized it, then laughed and said, "Don't worry about this, we are not interested in causing trouble for ourselves."

The city of Baihu City.
The stall, which is usually very lively, was even more lively this time. In front of an empty stall, I saw middle-aged and young men wearing long blouses and short blouses.
Some of them are the owners of nearby tailor shops, some are the tailors who work for the masters in nearby farms, and some are the servants in nearby garment factories.
These people are tall, short, fat, and thin. The difference in their clothes. The skin color and temperament is even greater than that of cows and people. However, the expressions on their faces are surprisingly consistent, and the words "righteous indignation" are written in their angry eyes without exception.
An old man who looked quite prestigious walked in front, pointing to the white words written on the blackboard, his index finger and beard trembling.
One kilogram of cotton cloth fifty Xilan?!Are you crazy about money?!
When the people behind saw someone standing up, they also shouted: That's it!
Too much!
Everyone is open to business, how can you be so unreasonable!
The guy sitting behind the stall looked ignorant, glanced at the old man who opened the tailor shop, and then looked at the group of guys who were making excitement behind him, and said impatiently.
Be reasonable?Hehe, you think it’s expensive today at fifty. When it’s going to rise to sixty tomorrow, I see what else you say.Just this price, do you want it?
Everyone around the stall was in an uproar when they heard this, but the guy sitting behind the stall was not afraid at all, but instead snatched his earwax.

However, I don’t know what happened recently. A large group of merchants suddenly rushed over from the port of Jinjialun. Xilan coins were stuffed into his boss’s hands in sacks. Not only did they eat up all the inventory of the textile factory, but they even ordered next year’s orders.
Those guys were like crazy, as if the money in their hands was not their own money, but was obtained by some kind of cheapness.
Although the wealthy businessmen in Jinjialun Port are an inherent impression of the survivors in Tiger State, they were not so crazy before.
Gallons and Xilan coins have an unwritten but recognized exchange rate, usually 4 gallons for 5 Xilans.
These people also exchange their Xilan coins for gallons unless they get cheaper exchange rates from banks or elsewhere.
He was just a guy, so naturally he didn't know where those merchants got so much Xilan coins. I just heard that the money was indeed issued by the royal family.
Those merchants were afraid that they would not accept it, so they specially brought tickets issued by the lending bank, which were enough to prove that the money was clean and fine.
Although it is strange, the door-to-door transactions must be done, so the inventory of the entire textile factory in Huzhou was bought out.
Generally speaking, most of the cloth flowing from textile mills into cloth markets are the bulk cargo left by garment factories, but this time, the major textile mills were squeezed out by the flooded Xilan coins, and the cloth circulating in the market naturally could only increase.
The crowd squeezed in front of the stall and pushed them, but no one dared to sway on the warlord's territory, so he could only swallow his breath.
Some servants who made clothes for the master paid readily. Anyway, they didn't spend their own money, and their master was even less money.
Some shop owners calculated by counting their fingers and found that they would lose money when they bought materials at this price and went back to make clothes, so they left cursed.
Some people heard that the price of cloth was still rising and thought that they could speculate, so they quickly took out Xilan coins and bought them first.
More residents passing by were talking about whether something big happened in Mammoth City.
There were even people who were panicked about Alayan's defeat, saying that the shroud and bandages on the front line were in a hurry, which made the price of this cloth soared.
However, this analysis seems too one-sided.
After all, it is not just the price of cloth, but the messy things such as sugar cane, sugar, soybeans, corn, etc. are rising rapidly.
Some people cursed the Moon clan, thinking that it was the unclean blood, and cursed the imperial destiny. Only by drawing a large formation with their blood can the curse be solved.
Some also cursed the merchants in Jinjialun Port. After all, those guys who took advantage of the situation are indeed unethical, and the origin of this Xilan coin is definitely not glorious.
Some knowledgeable people cursed Chu Guang, the alliance manager who was commanding the front line of Haiya Province.
The reason why I am knowledgeable is that people who have not read a few second-hand newspapers may not necessarily know the name of the alliance manager.
The bitterness in the cocoon is here. Due to the lack of channels to obtain information, sometimes I only see the slap when I get slap, but I don’t know where the slap is.
I don't even know where the slap came from.
On the other side, the suburbs of Baihu City.
Hundreds of pedal sewing machines were squeezed into the factory building of more than ten acres, and the sound of rululu kept ringing in the factory building.
This garment factory, called Falhan, was opened by a tiger merchant named Falhan. It is not only the largest garment factory in the entire Baihu City, but also the earliest factory in the entire Huzhou.
Two months ago, Chief Jeha Wanfu, the top commander of the Tiger Army, spent a small amount of money to buy the factory, and then added an additional 10 million gallons of investment to purchase a batch of equipment from the Port of Golden Gallon to expand the production scale of the factory.
And the factory did not disappoint General Jeha's expectations.
Today, one-fifth of the towels, curtains, bedding and shirts used by residents of Golden Gallon Port are produced here.
The tiger businessman who sold the factory at the beginning was probably regretful.
The entire factory is like a money printing machine, supplying cash milk to the Tiger Army, so that the Tiger Army is now replaced with the alliance-style LD-47, just like the defenders of Jin Jialun Port, and the equipment is much better than the Gray Wolf Army.
Just when the long-term workers stepped on the sewing machine and wanted to fly, the accountant in charge also pressed the calculator quickly and calculated the accounts meticulously towards the account book.
Although the goods exported from Huzhou to Jinjialun Port are earned in gallons, that is, foreign exchange, this gallon cannot be directly used in Huzhou.
Whether it is a dinar, a silver coin or a gallon, it needs to be deposited into the factory in the Baihucheng Money House or the bank account after settlement.
After all, the Empire is not the South China Sea Alliance where the local currency collapses. In a legal sense, neither gallons nor silver coins cannot be circulated directly within the empire. At most, it is only used by someone in private.
Factory can use foreign exchange balances to purchase equipment from Golden Gallon Port, but the gallon must be exchanged for Xilan coins to purchase raw materials within the empire and pay workers for wages.
Therefore, a routine task that the accountant has to do every month, using the bank's remittance records to confirm which part of the gallons to settle the exchange, which part of the gallon is used for equipment procurement or to pay the fees for external technicians.
The banks in Baihucheng have relatively loose management of foreign exchange, mainly because the warlords don’t understand this thing very well, and they usually throw it to the people below to take care of it.
The people below didn't understand either, so they copied according to the model of Jin Jialun Port and saw what those who became fat first would do.
It is precisely because of this that ordinary owners can decide when to settle the foreign exchange and how much to settle. Those who save money must use silver coins and report to the bank.
However, this month is quite strange.
First, the payment received by the garment factory was forced to settle into Xilan coins at the exchange rate last month, and then the profit in the account book was fucked from more than 10 million Xilan coins at the beginning of the month to negative two million, which scared him, the old man in charge of the account.
The first one is actually nothing. This garment factory is the industry of warlords, and the money house for settlement of foreign exchange was also opened by the military men of Huzhou.
He was too lazy to care about those masters' left hand and right hand. No matter which pocket the money is placed, it is in the master's pocket. As long as you know where it goes, it is good.
If you really want to worry, they are those small workshops. After all, the gallons and even silver coins that have not been settled in the bank are earned by themselves. The bank in Baihu City uses this trick to confiscate the silver coins in their accounts. It is true that they don’t plan to ask for any credibility.
However, the second question is what kills him.Why are the profits gone?
What about money?
Why are you getting poorer and poorer as you produce?
The old man was confused, drooled on his index finger, and tried to calmly flip through the account book in his hand, and finally found clues in the raw materials.
In just one month, the price of cotton cloth has doubled, and even the most stable linen has risen by 80%.
The profits in the first half of the month were directly swallowed up by the price increase of raw materials in the second half of the month. No wonder they lost 2 million Xilan coins until the end of the month.
This is not a small matter.
At least I made a little profit in the first half of the month, but I only lost so much.
If this trend continues, they may lose 20 million Xilan coins next month. They will go bankrupt in at most half a year!
The accounting management was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He was about to get up to find the factory manager, but the foreman on duty suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. He looked at him sitting behind the table and said carefully.
Master………The workers are clamoring to ask for wages. Do you think you can pay the money to them first?
In fact, it was not a big deal to owe a week or two wages. Those freelance people who work as long-term workers are very hard-working and very sympathetic.
However, I don’t know what happened recently. The price of the entire Baihu City was not rising except for red clay, and even the soybean meal for feeding animals increased.
The look of the accountant froze, and he just moved away from the chair and sat back again, glaring at the foreman with a dark face.
I haven't finished my account yet, what are you urging me to!
The foreman said with a bitter face.
Master, it’s not that I urge you, but I’m not in a hurry, mainly those who work.
He waved his pen impatiently and made a gesture of being busy.
Let them work first. Will General Jeha's family business be as big as his own, and he will lose the little money for them?If you like to do it, don’t get out of it, don’t bother me to count the money.
The foreman looked depressed and complained, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only leave the office with his head down.
Over the whole day, the entire Baihu City seemed to be in a bad mood, from the small business market to the factory that does big business.
People who work are busy from morning to night, and those who settle accounts are busy from night to morning, but no one sees where the Xilan coins have gone.
In addition to farmers selling cash crops such as cotton, sugar cane, etc., as well as the nobles in the manor.
They are at the upstream or source of the industrial chain, and they are the least affected, and can even be said to be the biggest beneficiaries of this round of active inflation.
Of course, this is only now.
Soon they will find that the fertilizer originally sold for 100 Xilan coins will soar by two or three times, and the art and makeup bought by the second wife also doubled.
Because these things have to be imported from Golden Gallon Port for the time being using foreign exchange.
Going past the plantation and down there are weaving and sugar-making.These relatively upstream large factories are not bad, and they can pass some of the costs to the downstream weaving and food processing industries.
However, this has caused trouble to the downstream industries. The further down, the more you can feel the biting cold.
Especially for those shop owners who need to use silver coins to expand production and want to compete with merchants in Golden Gallon Port for foreign trade orders, the pain will be particularly long.
After all, the loan of 30 billion Xilan coins was just the first blow for Duke Nihak to castrate himself. The advance payment of 50 million silver coins was the most ruthless blow, which directly made the shop owners who were still in the primitive accumulation stage of Huzhou and Baozhou work for half a year in vain.
Nihak's good deeds directly emptied the foreign reserves of the Imperial Royal Mint, and it is estimated that there will be a monthly expenditure of 10 million silver coins.
The Imperial Royal Mint could not produce enough silver coins, so it could only tighten the faucet to reduce the quota for money shops and banks along the Imperial Yongliu River to exchange Xilan coins for silver coins.
The bank in Baihu City could not exchange Xilan coins for silver coins, and even the warlord's own factory exchange needs could not be met, let alone meet the small workshops and shop owners in Huzhou.
Not only did they close the channels for the little sparrows to exchange silver coins, but they also confiscated the silver coins in their pockets and forcibly exchanged them for Xilan coins.
Some small workshops with a little technical content were about to evolve into factories, but before they could compete with the factory in Jinjialun Port or were picked by warlords, they exploded on the spot.
A few bankrupt operators have turned their attention to the distant Mammoth State. They heard that they are issuing their own currency, just like the Port of Golden Gallon, and are welcome to invest in it.
If you come here with your equipment, you can use the equipment as collateral to get a loan with extremely low interest.
You can even borrow silver coins.
Although it is also a warlord territory, the local area also has its own advantages. One is that it is closer to Silver Moon Bay, and the other is a parish with Silver Moon Church.
Those guys who like cats not only open churches in the parish, but also open banks.
Even though there are uncertainties caused by war in Mammoth State and there has just been flooding there, it is really delicious to be able to use equipment as a mortgage to get silver coins...
In the final analysis, the foundation of the empire is still too thin.
It has been a few months since the embargo was lifted. If you save up for decades of money, it may not be so fast.
Even if it is about to explode, it will take ten or twenty years to slowly explode.
This is the impact on the ecology of the industrial chain, and the same is true for the turmoil of the food chain.
Big fish eat small fish when they are hungry, and small fish eat shrimp when they are hungry. In the end, they are the microorganisms and mayflies who suffer.
The serfs could at least drink soup with the master, but the free people working in the factory could not find a place to go back to farm.
The red clay, which was almost unsold, became popular again, and there were more people picking up soil in the empty wilderness.
They are actually lucky.
What is the situation in other states outside Huzhou and Leopard State? Even residents of Jinjialun Port standing at the end of Yongliu River may not know.
However, all of this has no impact on the sunny South China Sea Alliance.
The generous Grand Duke Nihak became the hottest figure in Beidao.
The Survivor Daily, which had just opened in Kitajima, wrote a separate column for him, praising the 30 billion donations and calling him a role model for being thrifty and thrifty.
Li Minghui called him the Bharat Province a long time ago, but later, due to protest by the ID holder himself, he changed to General McClass of the Bharat Province when he was published in the newspaper.
I think it is impossible for the Willant to come to the distant East to cause trouble for such a nonsense.
Moreover, the survivors of the Bharat Province were extremely obsessed with the Willant people, and this flattery was louder than the previous one.
People always have to be prosperous for a while before they are buried, and the great duke of the empire is no exception.
Nihak was so happy every day during this period, his face was rosy and he was like he was injected with chicken blood. He was not even afraid of occasionally meeting those guys who had caught him.
Although winter had just revealed a little tail, he felt that he and the spring of the empire seemed to have come together.
Just when the warlords in Huzhou and Baozhou scratched their heads in confusion and couldn't figure out where their little money had gone, Alayan, who was far away from the front line of Mammoth State, was also confused with capital letters.
However, the latter was not because he lost money, but because his command was so confused by the elusive guerrillas that he could not find the North.
The fierce firepower made him think that the league had ended in person!
Not just firepower.
In addition, the number of people in the Resistance Army is also more and more fighting, the more they fight, the more they become more and more cunning they fight.
At first, they were just fighting guerrillas in the state boundaries of Mammoth State, and guerrillas began to appear in Mazhou and Birdzhou.
These people are specifically focused on the supply line of the Gray Wolf Army, which makes the transportation teams that escort materials dare not walk at night, and they dare not hang the royal double-sword flag.
What's even more terrible is that his spies also discovered that these rebels built a deep-water port and a railway connecting the deep-water port in Mammoth City.
After hearing this, Alayan almost vomited blood without being angry.Where did these local dogs get the steel and cement?!Could it be given by the alliance?
Is that dog-day Lasi the illegitimate son of the alliance manager?!
Just when he was angry, his confidant handed him a secret letter, saying that the patrol soldiers picked it up on the front line.
...To General Alayan:
With the talent of a general, he can completely break up the ground and be named a king. Why should he lose his best years for a dying empire?
Now the empire is in a dead end, and everything is caused by Wu Tuo.
If you join me, I will not only let you live a life, but also let you be the commander of the resistance army.If you don’t believe me, you can choose a state to go by yourself. As long as you don’t move me, I promise that my subordinates will not step into your territory.
Alayan opened the letter and saw his teeth clattering.
This dog thief!
But after winning a few games by chance, it was so arrogant!
He crushed the letter into a ball and smashed it on the candlestick with a hatred, but he didn't want to smash the candlestick over and almost burned the command tent.
The fire was rescued, but the gray wolf army was panicked.
More and more incomprehensible confusion torture everyone in the empire from the front to the rear, and opposite to it is the increasingly passionate shouting of the Survivors Daily in the Port of Golden Gallon.
A huge and unprecedented wave is brewing in the crowded wave, which is a more powerful and powerful energy than nuclear weapons.
That is the energy of progress!
Even Yodu, who had once persuaded Lasi to stay, had to admit that after seeing the news in the newspaper, perhaps this time I really misunderstood.
How could the guy who could stand up when everyone was buried in their heads and dared not breathe loudly, the guy who was timid and endured the exploitation but dared to reach out to get a gun?
Just like the words the officers of the alliance said when they laughed at them, the kings cried day and night, could they scold Wu Tuo to death?
In the end, he really stood up.
Maybe he was too demanding on him.
Whenever the night is late, Yodu always can't help but think about it, regretting that he didn't have a drink with him when he practiced it.
The four million square kilometers of province is already in turmoil.
But just before that storm finally came, a more intense and wider storm came first.
After two months of preparation, the horn of the southern offense finally sounded again!
