ps.225 encounter harmony
In Lanchester City, the rebellion of the nearby old forces has been eliminated, and the entire Lanchester City has returned to normal.
The tens of thousands of prisoners captured were directly thrown by the Duchess of Windsor, Frankie, to work as a coolie.
She is not as civilized as the Earthlings in China. These captives are all good laborers, and they don't have to pay or feed them too much.
It can also prevent them from rebelling vigorously and develop the economy in the territory. Why not do it.
Xu Lin was invited to Lanchester's castle and looked at the magnificent castle. Many places were equipped with Chinese modern furniture and appliances.
When he was outside the castle, Xu Lin discovered that there was a lot of solar energy installed on the top of the castle in Lanchester, probably to power the entire castle.
It was said that Xu Lin entered the noble's castle for the first time. Although it was not as splendid as the palace and the palace, the interior of Frankie's palace was already very luxurious.
Xu Lin sat on the sofa and looked around. At this time, Frankie had already washed his body and asked the priest to use magic to treat the wound on his body. He put on a gorgeous aristocratic costume, and carried a tea set in person. , came up cautiously.
He gently placed the tea tray on the coffee table, lifted the teapot and filled Xu Lin with a cup of tea full of love.
He held up his hands, blew lightly, his cheeks were slightly red, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, "Captain Xu, please use tea."
The set of sofa and coffee table were bought by Huaxia, including a copper-colored ceiling fan above the head.
Xu Lin finished the tea and replied, "Your Excellency, thank you."
At this time, Frankie pulled her skirt and slowly dropped her butt on the sofa opposite Xu Lin, maintaining a very ladylike sitting posture, and said to Xu Lin, "Captain Xu, you are welcome, you should be It's me who is thankful."
Frankie invited Xu Lin to the castle in order to express her gratitude to Xu Lin for rescuing him.
Of course, Frankie was also selfish, and used this as an excuse to take the opportunity to spend a longer time with the hero who saved him.
When 23-year-old Frankie was rescued by Xu Lin, the bullet that shot at the head of the red-armored knight was like an arrow shot by the god of love towards Frankie's heart, which made Frankie stunned. heart.
The two chatted like this, and soon Xu Lin showed his complaining personality.
Maybe it was a lot of scolding, and because he was an earthling, he forgot to respect the etiquette of the nobles more or less, and said carelessly with a cup of tea: "Your Excellency Duke, are you saying that those rebels are nonsense, nothing to do? Rebellion?"
If Frankie is a layman in military affairs, then Frankie is an expert among experts in politics.
Xu Lin is a pure soldier who has climbed all the way from a non-commissioned officer, and he doesn't know much about this.
Frankie shook his head and saw that Xu Lin was not very sensitive to these matters, so he explained: "Commander Xu, the officialization of soft coins implemented by the Panda Empire Regents Council, and the actions taken by the two adults of the Regents Council. The provincial system, which prompted the rebellion of these old nobles and old forces who did not understand the flexibility.
The officialization of soft coins is equivalent to eliminating all previous currencies of the empire.
Those who own the empire and the nobles who mint metal currency privately can directly take these coins and join some banks and banks of Huaxia United Bank to exchange soft coins.
Along with the officialization of soft coins, there is also the Council of Regents taking back the coinage rights of the nobles.
They used to be able to mint money and create wealth out of thin air to fill their financial holes.
However, in order to unify the currency, the officialization of soft currency was implemented, which cut off the wealth of these nobles.
They obviously don't see the benefits of a unified market for everyone.
And in the words from China, it is called 'economic colonization', which is of course what these nobles have to resist. "
Xu Lin was taken aback: "Is this economic colonization?"
Frankie giggled: "Yes, of course you can say no."
Xu Lin was very disgusted by the word "colonial". After all, this is an imperialist affair, but Frankie's words also hardened Xu Lin's curiosity, and blinked: "What do you mean?"
As he said that, he leaned forward and tried his best to think in front of Xu Lin, stared at Xu Lin's small eyes full of doubts, and explained with a serious face: "The word 'economic colonization' is also from those nobles who came from Chinese merchants. If it is said literally, it is true.
But this is not, and not entirely, economic colonization.
You Huaxia people traveled from the earth to the Aghanim Continent, and lost the market of the entire earth in an instant. Until now, your country has not collapsed, which is also due to all the policies you are implementing now.
The nations of Aghanim are completely primitive nations to you.
In front of you, we have no military, no economy, or even politics.
Militarily, the weapons in our hands cannot stand against you at all.
Even the strong, even the gods, have been defeated in your hands.
Economically, we don't have any commodity available for you to buy.
Industrial Products? Similar handicrafts? There is almost nothing to sell.
There are only mineral resources, crops, livestock, and local handicrafts and costumes that are of interest to some of you.
However, these things can be easily copied in front of you in the same way.
Even if it is a special handicraft, are you interested in the products of those backward countries on your planet
What's more, the countries on the Aghanim continent are not as good as the backward countries on the earth.
Even the political system is the same, the political system you eliminated a thousand years ago, a hundred years ago.
But we have even used it for thousands of years.
The so-called 'economic colonization' is nothing more than those guys who only understand a literal meaning.
If you Chinese people don't do this, your products will not be able to be sold, the merchants will not be able to find money, and they will not be able to pay their employees salaries.
The situation in your country will definitely be a mess.
Of course, the so-called 'colonization' is not exactly like that.
The inflow of your goods has improved our lives.
We really can't learn your technology.
In the Aghanim continent with almost zero education, no one can easily copy your things, except for those characters who are destined to play a pivotal role in the script.
You have brought us civilization and a certain amount of industrial support.
We use the technology you have eliminated to slowly develop our own handicraft industry, develop our own 'industry', and make ourselves richer.
In this way, we have spare money in our hands, and we can continue to buy your products, and the two parties have entered a virtuous circle, which is the so-called development of the market.
Aghanim 8 years ago, you can't sell anything, even those things that are too cheap, for ordinary civilians, you have to think twice about buying them.
On this point, Commander Xu, you can look at the development of the Duchy of Dehebas at the beginning, isn't that the case
There is a world of difference between Degebas now and Dehebas 8 years ago. "
Xu Lin was a little surprised, why this girl knew so much, it was too strong.
Xu Lin didn't think much about it, but Frankie was worried that Xu Lin would regard him as a potential threat to Huaxia. Xu Lin's thoughts were all written on his face, and Frankie quickly explained: "Commander Xu, I'm from you. In this world, I am watching you.
A few years ago, I bought some interesting books from Huaxia merchants, some of which are on it.
In addition, when I traveled to Carinthia, I used the Internet there.
The knowledge on the Internet is really rich, and these words are basically what you said in your books and on the Internet. "
It's not so much an inappropriate "economic colonization" as it is about developing a market.
Before crossing, one of the things that every country on earth did was to snatch the market.
The major economies and major countries are killing you and me in these big markets. What are they doing? They are almost hoping to have a larger share of this market.
The market is so big, and there are still many people who share the cake, so naturally they will be beaten to death.
But there is only one exception, that is Huaxia.
While China is grabbing the market, it is also the only guy who develops the market.
He knew that if he wanted to develop, he needed to eat more cakes, so he became a pastry chef and slowly made cakes himself.
And those guys who were beaten to death because of a piece of cake before, didn't know how to make cakes by themselves, so when they watched Master Huaxia make cakes, they naturally became jealous.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
Slandering Master Huaxia is not for making cakes, but under the guise of making cakes, earning materials at low prices from those raw material suppliers.
When many cake ingredient suppliers hear this group of guys who don't know how to make cakes and only know how to eat cakes, it seems to make sense.
Therefore, Master Huaxia has been crowned with the hat of squeezing upstream manufacturers, but there are still some upstream manufacturers who have cooperated happily with Master Huaxia and have become rich step by step in the process of making cakes by Master Huaxia.
So much so that these slander Huaxia masters, and the survival of those people who follow suit, naturally have no good feelings.
The truth is such a truth, when you cross over, the cake is gone, only the cake at home.
The upstream manufacturers on Aghanim's side still supply all quail eggs, the milk they supply is the milk squeezed from the mice, and the sugar they supply is still of very poor quality.
In the entire Aghanim Continent, there is not even a cake chef who can make cakes without adding any ingredients.
Master Hua Xia doesn't help the village to help the village with Aghanim's suppliers. Can this Aghanim's cake be made
When the cake at home is exhausted, then wait to starve to death.
You can't possibly eat people, can you
Xu Lin didn't understand this, and what Frankie said was vague.
Looking at Xu Lin's frown, Frankie laughed, knowing that Xu Lin had been told that he was unconscious, so she said with a smile, "Let's get back to the point."
"Huh? Oh, good."
Three words popped out of Xu Lin's mouth, and Xu Lin, who had traveled thousands of miles, was directly pulled back by Frankie.
Frankie continued: "In addition to the officialization of soft coins promoted by the Council of Regents and the recovery of the minting rights, which completely touches the interests of these nobles and old forces, there is another reason that makes these guys rebel."
"Provincial system?"
Frankie stood up slowly, squatted slightly, filled Xu Lin's cup of tea gently, put down the cup, and sat back on the sofa.
Xu Lin looked at the tea, and immediately joked: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke has so many servants, I am so honored to drink the tea made by Your Excellency the Duke himself."
Xu Lin naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking, and Frankie giggled and said, "If Commander Xu likes it, Commander Xu is welcome to taste it at any time, every day."
Frankie kept her stance very low in front of Xu Lin, even calling herself a "concubine". Of course, Xu Lin didn't understand, hehe smiled: "Your Excellency the Duke is generous, hehe."
Frankie also took a sip from the teacup, nodded and continued: "Well, although it was not the decision of the Council of Regents, but in the entire Panda Empire, King Carinthia, Queen Mother, King Irnava, Viencha The Kings of Germany are all abolishing the enfeoffment and changing the provincial system to strengthen the centralization of power to strengthen themselves.
Strengthening oneself means weakening the nobles below.
Collecting rights and titles is exactly what these four people are doing.
King Carinthia is a little better, after all, he has a behemoth like you behind him.
The other few are not so lucky. They want to implement the provincial system, and the nobles below will naturally rebel, and no one wants the power in their hands to be taken away.
Although the Queen Mother's faction is only carried out in the direct jurisdiction, this has already released a dangerous signal.
Once they are successful, it will be rolled out to the periphery.
Everyone naturally did not want their titles to be taken away, nor did they want their land to be taken away, so rebelling against the Council of Regents became the only choice for their short-sighted fellows. "
Xu Lin knew a little about this. The so-called taking away the land, isn't that buying it
In China, this means getting rich. How many rich people can you get out of the word "demolition"
Xu Lin was puzzled and said, "These guys, why do they want land, why do they want titles, sell them together, exchange some money, become a rich man, and do some business, won't he ring
Look at us, rich people and strong country, no one has land.
Look at Carinthia, didn't those nobles sell their land to the Carinthian royal family or the Carinthian government
Look at how well people live, hum. "
Frankie smiled: "After all, not everyone is Carinthia."
The other nobles did not have An Rui's capital to buy land at high prices, and there was no way to make any promises to the nobles.
Behind Carinthia is Huaxia, while behind other nobles is political struggle.
After the two chatted for a long time, it was already dark, Xu Lin got up and said goodbye.
But Frankie wanted to keep the other party, blushing, and summoning up her courage, like a bold confession, she weakly invited: "Captain Xu, can you stay in the concubine's castle tonight
The concubine has already ordered someone to be next to the concubine's bedroom, and a room has been cleaned up for the commander Xu..."
Frankie blushed and stared at Xu Lin timidly, feeling even more uneasy in her heart.
However, Xu Lin waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I just arrived in Lanchester. There are still a lot of things to be arranged in the camp. You see, it took a lot of time with you, Your Excellency the Duke."
Xu Lin was leaving because of military affairs, and Frankie couldn't force her to keep her sweetheart.
After sending Xu Lin out of the castle, Frankie asked weakly, "Captain Xu, let's...are we friends now?"
After drinking afternoon tea and contacting the relationship between the 2nd Battalion and the Lanchester Garrison, Xu Lin scratched his cheek: "That's right."
Frankie bit her lip and asked, "Can that concubine call you by your name?"
Xu Lin said casually, "No problem, it doesn't exist, just call me Xu Lin."
After all, in modern society, calling the other party's name is quite normal.
After Frankie got Xu Lin's permission, she felt less depressed because Xu Lin didn't stay overnight, and the smile on her face became stronger, "Then Xu Lin, you can also call yourself a concubine in the future... Call the concubine Frankie."
"Ah, oh, no problem, all right, we are all friends."
Seeing that Xu Lin was about to leave, Frankie stopped Xu Lin and asked, "Xu Lin, wait, the last question, how long will you stay in Lanchester?"
Xu Lin looked at the faintly flashing stars, and replied, "Ah, I don't know, I should be stationed for a while, until the rebellion in the kingdom of Messo is quelled."
Frankie nodded, which meant that during this time, she could always find opportunities to stay with Xu Lin.
Of course, for someone like Frankie with political skills, he has both selfish desire to stay with Xu Lin and his own political ambitions, so he said, "Xu Lin, I will visit you tomorrow morning, a little bit. Little things need your help."
"Um
okay.
See you tomorrow then. "
"See you tomorrow."
Seeing Xu Lin's back leaving, Frankie couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of tomorrow. At the same time, she also acted like a little woman, carrying her arms and holding the stone by her feet, and pouted, "Xu Lin, you are really a woman. Xu Mumu."
