Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1595 Bran Road Pooley 5
Whether it's publicity or prestige, I seem to be able to do it--for publicity, I can use magic to quickly spread news in the country of Baitao and Burning Stone; not to mention prestige, my identity is this When used: special envoy from the floating continent!No matter how they think about the floating mainlanders, one thing will not change - what the floating mainlanders say to them should not be false or wrong.

Huanmeng nodded slightly as a response to this "hope".

"If all of this can be resolved, then the next step will be relatively easier." The corner of the Duke's mouth was smiling, "That is, we need to have enough money."

……money?

Well, that's true.The people of the country of white waves want to buy coal, and the people of the country of burning stone want to buy salt. Where are the things for sale?You can't let people take it with you, can you?
The organizers have to prepare.

It is not difficult to negotiate how much the two countries will each be responsible for, but it will take a while to discuss who will pay the money.

The officials must have no money-their salaries still need to buy coal or salt; and the nobles are not easy to start with.

If you want to have a certain impact, the amount of salt and coal must not be less.

Which nobleman can afford so much money?That is, the largest nobles: Puli, "Three Dams", and even "Five Dykes" are a bit difficult to get out, but what is it possible to get for such a big effort?
Even if the possibility of failure is not considered, success will not bring much benefit to the nobles who contributed; it will only make their reputation better, but what can this reputation do?Let the nearby people migrate to their own territory?The degree of accommodation in the territory is limited, there is no limit to how much it can be...

"Of course, this kind of thing can't be said above the court." The Duke smiled slyly, "After all, people always want face, and there must be a high-sounding excuse."

... So that set of theories you had at the morning meeting was just an excuse?
It is quite a talent to be able to persuade the king and most of the officials by making up an excuse.

"Naturally, there are other reasons—for example, the timing was not ripe enough before." The Duke continued, "If we rashly implement measures to reduce the price of salt coal, the probability of success is really not too high—— Officials do not have enough confidence, and nobles are full of doubts about this matter; once the implementation fails, it will be more difficult to implement in the future.”

The experience of failure will be remembered by everyone in both countries - and it will be brought up by opponents when someone brings up the price of salt coal.Moreover, since it has already failed once, the confidence of officials and people will drop sharply, and they will not cooperate like the first time... The difficulty will continue to approach "impossible".

"Even you can't come up with that much money?" Huanmeng asked in a low voice.

"That money is not Yu's." The Duke's expression suddenly became serious, "Of course the Puli family can get that much money, and Yu is indeed capable of transferring that money; The whole family is responsible."

If it is said that so much money is spent at one time, even a leading family like the Puli family will be seriously injured; if there is no corresponding effect, the reputation and capital of the Puli family will be damaged. It may be at the same level as the "Three Dams", or even lower.

No competent family leader would dare to take such a big risk.
