Broad World - Chapter 831
Chapter 828 Maztec
Heng glared at the three guys with sharp eyes, and then stopped at the guard: “Say, what happened? And who are these two strangers? “&Nbsp; Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the guard’s panic behavior, and even made no secret of his disgusting expression. Although it has long been known that ordinary human soldiers are unsuccessful most of the time, but it is too embarrassing to be so busy when encountering an emergency, especially in front of outsiders. . “Your Majesty, please listen to me…” The guard was so scared that his whole body began to stiffen, and he couldn’t even speak. He tried to explain the whole thing clearly, but because he was too nervous, his tongue was like a knot, and he couldn’t express his meaning clearly. Finally, Stephen, the head of the “Kestrel” mercenary group, reacted quickly enough and quickly stepped forward and bowed, telling the whole story. Of course, he consciously ignored the part that was unfavorable to him, especially the primitive living environment of the Maztec continent and the barbaric and cruel customs of the local tribe in the explanation process. It is as if trafficking people there to Faerun Continent is not only not a crime, but is helping them. I have to say, this guy is very smart, he directly took all the responsibility of the guards on him, and he also took the initiative to acknowledge the purpose of this trip, and at the same time, he kept his words tightly. The most important thing was that he was from beginning to end. Not telling a lie, all are misleading by creating an atmosphere. Talents! Henry’s first reaction is that this guy is definitely the top talent in the slave trade! It is important to know that not everyone can engage in this sinful transaction without psychological burden, coupled with the shameless face of not being ashamed but proud and full of misleading truths, now he lacks It’s just a stage and opportunity. As a soul from the region, Henry is very aware of the benefits of the slave trade, and also very clear that this kind of thing can only be done in the dark, if it is picked out. Then it will instantly become the target of countless good organizations. But now the Kingdom of West Hartland is really short of labor. Even the beggars and disabled people on the street are forced to arrange a job, and the prisoners in the dungeon are all sent. Go to quarries, mines and other places for labor reform. Even death row prisoners have been temporarily pardoned… It can be said that the whole country is like a high-speed horse-drawn carriage, from the nobles to the civilians. Everyone feels that their pace of life is accelerating, and there is always an endless amount of work to do. The old days of poverty and leisure are gone forever, replaced by more work, more salaries, and more daily necessities that can be purchased. Countless workshops produce goods designated by Henry day and night, and then are trafficked to other areas by several large-scale chambers of commerce alliances, earning every copper plate frantically. Benefits are shared! According to the plan that has already been made, he made everyone feel the charm of capital intensification. Every businessman can see that the profits he earns are doubling. The most important thing is to use advanced technology and cheap goods. He successfully squeezed out a large number of inefficient hand workshops in neighboring countries and firmly grasped the trade. The initiative. Perhaps in a few years, Henry will not even need to start a war, but only impose a trade embargo on a certain area, and the local ruler will immediately crawl over on his knees and beg him to rule himself… …&Nbsp; This sentence is the power of a trade war! It is usually invisible, but once it erupts, it is infinitely powerful, and the more low-productivity and backward areas, the more destructive it causes. It is not surprising that it turned into riots and coups. In fact, although many parts of Falun mainland claim to be self-sufficient, they need to trade some daily necessities with the outside world for more or less a year. For example, salt, cloth, needles and threads, metal tools, iron pots, etc., without these, their situation will become quite difficult. However, it is clear that there is still a long way to go to destroy all handicraft workshops under the current situation, and the lack of labor is one of the biggest constraints. Henry is going to give it a try, can he take advantage of the “Kestrel” mercenary group, start with the smallest slave trade, and if the reaction is not very intense, then consider slowly expanding . As for legalization, don’t even think about it, because it represents the good and evil tendencies of a country. It must not be offended easily. As he squinted his eyes to consider the problem, Elena led several strong maids. He lifted a large amount of hot water and entered the room again, and soon came the sound of bathing the baby, and Doris was sobbing joyfully. “How many people are there in the Kestrel Mercenary Group?” Henry was anxious to go in and see his (love) person and his newborn son, so he didn’t have any nonsense to go straight to the subject. Stephen realized that this question was unusual in an instant, and immediately bowed deeply and replied: “There are 30 fixed members. If necessary, it can be expanded to more than two hundred at any time. Of course, You can’t expect them to order and ban like real soldiers, so they can’t perform missions that are too secret.” “Two hundred people?” Henry narrowed his eyes and murmured, and then asked: ” How much do you know about the Maztec continent? Including geography, culture, social composition, etc. Of course, the most important thing is the distribution of tribes.” When he heard this, Stephen fell into ecstasy. , Forced to bear the excitement, lowered his voice and said: “Your Majesty, I know the east coast of the entire continent. In fact, the Maztec continent is not as scary as the rumors, and the indigenous people are also very hospitable, especially along the coast. As the river goes deep inland, the primitive tribes are very, very backward. The weapons in their hands are mostly wooden. Only a few warriors who call them warriors can get an obsidian spear or axe.” “You mean…they don’t have the ability to smelt metals at all?!” Henry had an incredible expression on his face, and at the same time he realized the huge opportunity, a tropical rain forest similar to that of South America on earth Civilized, perfect raw material supply location and dumping target. He finally understood why the six-member council still maintained support for the overseas colonies after the Shahua murlocs blocked the coast. It turned out that there was so much profit in it. Stephen nodded fiercely: “Yes! Your Majesty. You only need a few iron weapons and armors, and you can immediately exchange for countless slaves, gems, gold, and some tribes. The leader said that they can accept employment, and a hundred sharp spear tips can help destroy a small tribe, and all the slaves and spoils belong to us.” “Interesting…” Henry’s mouth was slightly raised. Alice showed a playful smile. “In addition to ironware, what other commodities do the indigenous tribes need? Also, do you know where else is suitable for establishing settlements now?” “Salt! Cloth! Rope! Water jar They lack almost everything, so everyone who can use it will not refuse. If the tribe itself is not enough, it will launch a war to plunder. As for the place suitable for settlement, I haven’t paid attention to it for the time being, but there is a big river at the southern end of the mainland to the sea , Maybe there can be a suitable settlement.” Stephen desperately shows off his knowledge of Maztec, knowing everything is endless. He knows very well how rare this opportunity is. As long as it succeeds, wealth, title, power, everything will soon fall from the sky. But Henry was obviously not blinded by wealth. He just smiled contemptuously: “Your speaking skills are very good. You have been preaching the great wealth there from the beginning, but omitted The risk of development. If I’m right, Maztec’s living environment must be very bad.” Speaking of this, he paused and exclaimed: “Tropical rain forest, humid. The air, countless mosquitoes, poisonous tongues, ferocious beasts, crocodiles, and even more terrifying parasites, those who go may be thankful if they can return half alive. I’m right.” “You…how did you know…” I don’t know if it was because of fear or surprise, Stephen began to tremble with an incredible expression on his face. In the mainland of Faerun, most of the rumors about the mainland of Maztec were spread through the mouths of merchants in Amn. In order to ensure that their interests are not violated, they never reveal any useful information except for infinitely exaggerating how barbarous and primitive there is. Therefore, 99% of the people even count the appearance of Maztec mainland. Not clear, let alone such a precise description. “Well, not much nonsense, I will give you some support in private, including a small airship that can carry a hundred people, five large sea ships, ten Drew Yi, ten mages, and a regular army of two hundred people. At the same time, you are allowed to buy unlimited military supplies. There is only one requirement, and that is to establish a settlement for me within five months. In addition, it is better not to do the slave trade. Boldly, it is best to entrust the underground forces to do it, understand?” Henry said all his requirements and conditions in one breath, and then stood there silently waiting for the answer from the other party. He believes that for an ambitious and ambitious person, it is absolutely impossible to miss this opportunity. Stephen took a deep breath, raised his head and plucked up the courage to ask: “Your Majesty, if this is done in accordance with your requirements, can I become a nobleman?” Henry’s mouth turned up slightly, and he nodded slightly: “Of course it’s okay, but the territory can only be canonized near your chosen settlement. I think the New World Baron is a good title, isn’t it?” “Yes! That’s really a resounding title. I will definitely wear it on my head. Five months is a bit short , but I will definitely achieve the goal you requested. Finally, please allow me I congratulate you on having a healthy prince again. This was originally intended to be a gift to Miss Doris. Since it is not convenient for her to meet guests now, I would like to ask you to convey it on your behalf.” Speaking, Stephen took out a half-foot-long square box from his arms, placed it in Henry’s hand very respectfully, and then bowed again and walked towards the gate. Different from the panic when he came, the faint excitement in his eyes at the moment can be seen even by the small man behind him, the desire of this man’s heart is completely released by Henry Come out, like a beast coming out of the cage, can’t wait to devour fresh flesh and blood to strengthen oneself… (to be continued)
