i have a super island

Chapter 1166 The Method of Breaking the Situation from the Inside
Except for the three warships in the port, all the others are merchant ships.

Aside from the animal skin boat from Bryce in the northern continent, and the three rice boats from the Cloud Kingdom in the Middle Continent, the rest belonged to the merchants in Waterles City. boat.

At present, there are about [-] small sailboats moored in Donggang, not counting that there are also many such sailboats parked in Westport.

It was when Equation and Asong were sitting and chatting at the port in the middle of the night yesterday that he discovered these untouched ships parked in the port area, which made him wonder where these "unowned" ships came from What about?

Soon, he figured out that these ships originally belonged to the merchants in Waterles City.

The merchants in the city are not only doing business with merchant ships, they also have their own fleets that travel between Nile and other islands and do their own business.

That being the case, aren’t these ships ready-made resources? Why not make good use of them and use these merchant ships to connect all the islands within the sphere of influence of the Ten Thousand Nations Island, Black Tooth Island, Egret Island, Deer Island, and Bear Island, so that It is possible to communicate with each other and establish a virtuous business cycle among the islands. Even if there are no merchant ships from all over the world berthing in Waters, just to revitalize the internal market of the world, Waters will Sufficient to sustain on the existing basis.

"Far waters can't save near fires. Mr. Shen and his merchant ships have to return to the Kingdom of Clouds first, and then come to Waterles. It will take at least one or two years to go back and forth. We can't wait for such a long time. .” Said the equation.

Edgar echoed, "That's right, there is no limit to the sea, and it will take too much time just to get there."

Pointing to the small boats in the port, Fang Fang said confidently: "The external market can't be counted on for a short time, so we should revitalize the trade of Waterles from the inside. From then on to the west is the main island of Wanguo, and there are deer along the way." Each island has a large population and produces unique minerals and crops. If these merchant ships can travel between the islands, the internal market of Ten Thousand Nations will be able to flourish. "

"Your Majesty, your method is really brilliant!"

With an enlightened expression, Edgar praised the method proposed by the equation.

Fang Fang just waved his hands and chuckled, "Okay, less flattery, and hurry up and prepare as I said."

In fact, trade is the flow of goods and funds, and merchants play the role of porters in this process, transporting things that are not available in one place to another, and then earning profits in the middle.

All businessmen, without exception, live on this profit.

In the past, the merchants of Waters went to Wan Guo to do business, firstly because of the long distance, and secondly because it was unprofitable.

The most fundamental thing is that it is not profitable. You can see what is in the territory of Wanguo, such as linen, copper ore, lime... These are resources that Waterles can easily obtain through trade, and there is no need to go to Wanguo to buy and transport them back. .

Otherwise, if you look at those merchant ships from all over the world, in order to obtain the gold of Nile, they would not hesitate to risk the risk of floating on the sea for several years. The reason is still a profit.

The merchants of Waters didn't bring Wan Guo to play at all before, because Wan Guo was not profitable for them, but the situation is different now, the muskets of the Wan Guo people are hanging over their heads. Say "no", then you are really awesome.

Furthermore, they have no way out. They are traitors and collaborators with Nile. If they want to make a good face on the Wan Guo side and find a good way out in the future, then they should take the opportunity to perform well.

"How many merchant ships are there in the east and west ports?" Fang Fang asked.

"There are 120 ships in total, four of which are jointly owned by the Chamber of Commerce, and the rest are owned by different merchants." Edgar replied.

"Can you mobilize these merchant ships?"

"I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, so there should be no problem."

"What about you, how many ships do you have in your fleet?"

"33 ships."

Edgar didn't dare to hide these things, and there was nothing to hide. As long as he wanted to check the equation, he could check it out immediately, and it was impossible to play any tricks.

Fang Fang thought about it for a while, looking at these small boats without any flags, he thought that there are many islands in the sphere of influence of Wan Guo, and different islands have different tribes, languages ​​and cultures. Think again.

"How about this, go find the cloth merchants and tailors in the city, and let them make a batch of the national flags as soon as possible, and all your merchant ships will be hung with the national flags in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the experience of managing all nations, Fang Fang knows the importance of the flag.

Even if the customs and tribal cultures of each island are the same, as long as they belong to the islands belonging to the Ten Thousand Nations, everyone agrees with the shield flag of the Ten Thousand Nations, and the fleet with the Ten Thousand Nations flag will naturally be able to pass between those islands without hindrance.

The issue of island trade has not been resolved yet, but a solution has been proposed. According to the formula, as long as everything goes smoothly, Waterles' merchant ship can bring back iron ore from Deer Island in a month at the earliest.

At that time, Ten Thousand Kingdoms will truly become a country where each island is closely connected with each other, instead of just a few isolated islands looking at each other from a distance.

Edgar was about to retreat and go to the city to find cloth merchants and tailors, when two generals, Harper and Harlan, came to the port heroically with Nero soldiers.

When he came to the equation, Harper was triumphant, with his head up and his belly up, as if he was favored, because his most respected queen sent him an important task, which was to go to Kirkuvi Island to persuade those garrison.

"Do you know where I'm going?" Harper raised his head arrogantly.

Fang Fang squinted his eyes upwards, pretending to be thinking, then shook his head and asked, "I don't know, where are you going?" He said he didn't know, but in fact he couldn't.Even the matter of letting Harper go to Kirkuvi Island was proposed by Equation to Serra from the beginning to the end, and he had already controlled everything in his hands.

"cut--"

Harper didn't answer the equation. This is the arrogance he has always shown in front of the equation. This man with a rebellious heart has always been like this. "Board the ship, hurry up, everyone!" He took the lead on board the battleship, and shouted vigorously to the soldiers below.

Fang Fang was not angry, and with a mysterious smile on his lips, he waved goodbye to Harper, "I have nothing to say, I wish you all the best."
