Chapter four hundred and seventy-fifth, countermeasures and the mirror of the country
After sending out the Russian player representative, Ning Yuan did not rush to leave the Neutral City. He leaned his back on the sofa, closed his eyes while waiting for Tang Yu's arrival.
After a while, Tang Yu walked into the room. After opening his eyes and seeing Tang Yu, Ning Yuan immediately welcomed him in.
After sitting back, Ning Yuan asked anxiously: "Brother Tang, what's going on?"
"Brother Ning Yuan, that's right. There is now a chamber of commerce alliance in the Silver Star Empire. I suspect that they were formed by those big guilds. They are now trying their best to deceive the Elf King Cameron and ask them to act on the foreign trade rights of the Silver Star Empire.
Didn’t you promised His Majesty Cameron to fully open up trade between the two countries last time?
They are ready to use the trade between the two countries to fight a commercial war with you, completely destroy the economic structure of the Condor Empire, and thus achieve the goal of dismantling the Condor Empire.
In addition, after seeing the strength of the Condor Empire, they have suspended their plan to subvert the Silver Star Empire. Before the Central Plains region is completely stabilized, the Silver Star Empire will continue to exist. So Brother Ningyuan, if you want to enter the Central Plains region, you may have to make other plans."
Because the situation was very urgent, Tang Yu didn't care about reminiscing with Ning Yuan and directly explained the purpose of the trip. However, looking at Ning Yuan's expression, it seemed that he didn't understand.
"Brother Tang, how to fight the business war? I don't understand." Ning Yuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
As expected, Ning Yuan was just a martial artist and had no idea what a business war was.
After summarizing his ideas, Tang Yu answered him: "To give the simplest example, one hundred copper coins were sold in the Condor Heroes Empire, and ninety copper coins were sold in a bag of rice from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. If it were you, who would you buy?"
"If the quality is the same, I will definitely buy a bag of ninety copper coins." Ning Yuan replied.
"If one acre of grain can make a profit of ten silver coins a year, and a cotton can make a profit of fifteen silver coins, and grain can be purchased from the market, what would you choose to plant?" Tang Yu continued to ask.
"Grow cotton." Ning Yuan replied without hesitation.
"If most of the land in the Condor Empire planted the cash crops that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance wanted, then who will control the food resources of the Condor Empire if we continue to do so?
If they suddenly stop selling food to the Condor Empire, what changes will happen to the food prices of the Condor Empire? When faced with the sudden surge in grain prices, will ordinary people have riots?"
Tang Yu pushed forward little by little and soon introduced the most critical point.
"This... Brother Tang, then how should I deal with it?"
When he thought of the possible consequences, Ning Yuan was immediately frightened and sweated. He never expected that commercial invasion would be so terrifying, so he immediately asked Tang Yu for help.
After looking at Ning Yuan who was frightened, Tang Yu shook his head and replied: "Brother Ning Yuan, I only know a little bit about business wars, so if you want to avoid the enemy's commercial invasion, the best way is to ban business."
"But I have already promised my cheap father-in-law." Ning Yuan was a little embarrassed.
"Then find a reason to repent. I tell you that although commercial invasions are slow to take effect, once the other party grasps the economic lifeline of the Condor Empire, it will be too late.
The example I gave was just the simplest method, and I don't understand some more complex methods.
Moreover, business invasions often involve some ideas, values and ideologies. Once your people are brainwashed by these things, it may lay huge hidden dangers."
Seeing that Ning Yuan did not want to break the contract, Tang Yu immediately stated to him the more serious consequences that might occur.
Although Ning Yuan was still confused when he heard it, he knew that Tang Yu would definitely not lie to him, so he decided to do what Tang Yu said, and he was going to find a reason to cut off the trade between the two empires.
At the same time, he also secretly decided that when he turned around, he would tell Bai Shihai that no matter how cheap the grain was, he would ensure annual grain output. If it really didn't work, he would pay for the subsidies to those farmers who grew grain.
"By the way, Brother Tang, you just said that those guilds are not planning to subvert the Silver Star Empire for the time being?"
After solving the trade problem that he didn't understand, Ning Yuan immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.
"That's right, after seeing your strength, they thought that keeping the Silver Star Empire could keep you outside Shanhaiguan forever, so they have all stopped now. I guess they won't have much action until the situation in the Central Plains is completely clear."
"Brother Ningyuan, the entire Central Plains is now in chaos, so I think you should take this opportunity to get in. Even if you are unable to move south now, you should find a bridgehead for yourself in advance so as not to have no place to settle down in the future."
Tang Yu has a deep affection for the Silver Star Empire. Although he is willing to watch the Silver Star Empire continue to exist, he knows that since the hands of those great guilds reached in, the Silver Star Empire has already embarked on a path of no return, so he can only choose to stand on Ningyuan's side now.
"I think too, Brother Tang, but I guess they know that after I intervene, they will immediately attack him."
Ning Yuan shook his head, not agreeing with Tang Yu's point of view.
He had long wanted to get involved in the Central Plains, but his family knew his family affairs and knew how hated he was. If he knew that he had come, someone would probably join forces to deal with him immediately, so he never dared to take action.
"That's right, you're really hated."
Seeing Ning Yuan's dejected appearance, Tang Yu suddenly remembered how hated the man in front of him was in Huaxia. If he came over, he would be easily be besieged by other forces.
"Hey, Brother Ningyuan, what if others don't know it's your power? You can find a spokesperson from those small forces, so that you won't be discovered by others."
Tang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a good idea.
"It's not that easy, Brother Tang, you don't know. Those big forces are spies everywhere, and I am the only player in my power, so it's hard for us to hide it from their spies."
The problem of player spies has always troubled Ning Yuan. He himself has sharp eyes, but the indigenous people under his command do not.
When the Iron Blooded Flag Sect did not betray him, he could also ask the Flag soldiers to help him distinguish between players and indigenous people, but now he has no choice but to do so.
"Brother Ning Yuan, what do you think this is?"
Seeing that Ning Yuan was worried about the player's spy, Tang Yu immediately smiled and took out a mirror from the space backpack, and handed it to Ning Yuan.
Zhenguo Mirror: Special props, diamond-level, with active skills, country-level and passive skills, which are only effective for players.
After Zhenguo starts the Zhenguo mode, it can be set as exclusive to a certain country. Players whose name is recorded by Zhenguo Mirror will be regarded as their own people by Zhenguo Mirror. The demon-looking function cannot take effect on them. Information sharing can be achieved between Zhenguo Mirrors in the same country.
With the passive skill of the demon, the red skull pattern will appear on the foreheads of non-national players within ten kilometers of the holder of the Zhenguo Mirror.
When he took the mirror from Tang Yu's hand, Ning Yuan was immediately overjoyed. He asked anxiously: "Brother Tang, where did this mirror come from? How many in your hand?"
Although I have never seen such a mirror, from the first glance of seeing its attributes, Ning Yuan knew that this Zhenguo Mirror was specially tailored for player lords like them. With the Zhenguo Mirror, they no longer have to worry about infiltrating player spies into their army.
"How many more, do you think this mirror is a cabbage? This was seized from other player lords during the war. There are only two in total. Forget it, I will give it all to you. Who told me to accidentally get on your pirate ship?"
Seeing Ning Yuan's excited look, Tang Yu rolled his eyes, then took out a mirror and handed it to Ning Yuan.
After entering Tang Yu's information into Zhenguo Mirror, Ning Yuan laughed and said, "Brother Tang, you are really my nobleman. As soon as I dozed off, you gave me a pillow. After I had this mirror, I had no worries anymore, hahahahaha."
"Then why don't you express your feelings quickly?"
Seeing Ning Yuan just sitting there and laughing foolishly, Tang Yu was immediately angry. This guy was so blind.
"Brother Tang, what do you want? Just talk and make a statement first. I only like women and have no interest in men, so don't make any decisions about me."
In a good mood, Ning Yuan happily joked with Tang Yu.
"Get out, I'm not interested in men. Give me one of the colorful peaches and the five elements holy fruits. How about it? It won't make you feel distressed, right?" Tang Yu said tragically.
"I'm so scared. I think you want something good. It turns out that it's just a few broken fruits. Take it for you, and you can make it very hard."
Ning Yuan pretended to pat his chest, pretended to be relieved, and then took out two fruits and handed them to Tang Yu.
"Broken fruit? Then give me a few more of these broken fruits."
