The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

Chapter 96 Pros and Cons

Many times, when people judge things, they will unconsciously make judgments based on existing thinking and cognition.

And this is also one of the reasons for making misjudgments. After all, no one is omniscient and omnipotent. Even the smartest people will have blind spots in their thinking due to unequal information, and thus make misjudgments.

The current Fazheng is a good example. Fazheng is not unintelligent. Both his intelligence and his grasp of the human heart are top-notch, but he can't really guess what he thinks in his heart, nor can he guess the wine effect.

If Fazheng is like this, what about other people?

Will it be the same as Fazheng, even if you get the wine shop, you may not pay much attention to it in your heart.

If you think about it rationally, these wines will consume a lot of food, and wine is not a necessity of life. If you drink too much, it will hurt your health. Some extreme people will even throw it away.

Of course, wine is just an example, and there are many other examples, such as currency minting workshops, such as the preliminary preparations.

The premise of all this points to one message, Caravan!

Lucheng knew about the caravan ahead of time, so he could prepare early. At the same time, he also knew which of the difficulties Wuyang City encountered could be solved with the help of the caravan, so that there was no need to consume resources and manpower.

And some decisions are also made around the caravan. For example, the tiger riding training farm purchased by the former day, isn't it thinking of using the caravan to solve the shortage of meat?
It can be said that a small message can have a huge impact.

If you plan it out, Wuyang City can even gain a great advantage through this information.

Although Lucheng did not intend to monopolize the transactions of the entire Yizhou in the past, and he did not have such great energy, it is still possible to monopolize the transactions of Wuyang County and even the surrounding counties.

Wuyang City now has at least two advantages.

One is to have a currency minting workshop, which is the foundation of all transactions. If you don't have any eye-catching products in your territory, you can only rely on the currency minting workshop to trade.

For those village-level powers, the currency workshop requires you to destroy the city to get it. Maybe you are lucky and you can get it if you only break through one, but if you lose points, you may not get it after breaking through ten.

The second is to know the information of the caravan in advance. Now the preparatory work is already being done, and the more important point is that you can take the initiative to find the caravan. Because of the need to deal with the southern cities and the lack of manpower in the intelligence department, Lucheng did not send the task to the intelligence department.

But now, Lucheng is planning to take the initiative to attack. Counting the time now, even if the land of Shu is difficult to travel, there should be caravans entering Shu. It is not too late to look for it at this time.

For Shu, Lucheng has confidence. Shu is known as the land of abundance, and it is not a wild land. However, any caravan with some "ideal" will not give up such a big piece of cake.

Don't say anything else, let's just say one thing, how many forces in Yizhou will take the initiative to send people to search "all over the world"?

And this is why Lucheng believes that it can monopolize the foreign trade of the surrounding counties.

Especially in Wuyang County, Nan'an County, Zizhong County, Niuhuang County and even Han'an County, Lucheng will pay more attention. Once a caravan is found, it will be reported directly.

Fundamentally put an end to their chances of contacting caravans, even if they can't do it, try to do it as much as possible.

This is the only chance for Wuyang City to gain an advantage and get rid of them.

With emotion in his heart, seeing Fazheng's puzzled expression at this time, Lucheng did not intend to hide it from him, after all, the intelligence department was also under his control.

After organizing the conversation, Lucheng told all about the caravan, and when he finished speaking, Lucheng took the jug and filled the wine cup on the desk.

While drinking, he watched Fazheng's performance.

It may be that this news shocked the Fa-rectification too much, after all, it was limited by the times.

Fazheng didn't think highly of these businessmen, and when he suddenly heard that these businessmen had such great energy, he still couldn't make a turn in his heart.

After contemplating for a long time, Fazheng stared at the wine cup in front of him, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Is this serious? This businessman..."

When Lu Cheng heard this, he also put down the wine cup, and replied with a smile: "How could I lie to Xiaozhi?"

"My lord, don't blame me. I don't have such intentions. It's just that this matter is so unbelievable that I can't figure it out for a while."

After saying this, Fazheng couldn't help but sit up straight, and said seriously: "Although this matter is a bit strange, but since my lord said it, I think it has something to do with it. If this is the case, my lord has to make plans earlier."

"As my lord said, the energy of these caravans is probably no less than that of the forces in Shu County. Although they may not be as powerful in military affairs, they are probably far superior in terms of wealth and materials. With these two things, they can indeed gain a foothold.”

Speaking of this, Fazheng picked up the wine cup, drank it down, and then said: "I have a few words, but I can't utter them quickly."

"Oh, Xiaozhi, please tell me."

"I believe that these caravans can indeed be borrowed, but they cannot be relied on, especially for food, weapons, cattle, and war horses. The only way for Wuyang City to lay a solid foundation and be self-sufficient is to rely too much on external forces. It’s tantamount to handing over power to someone else.”

"Moreover, from what the lord said before, I also noticed the ambitions of these caravans. They spread the caravans all over the world, traded with the world's materials, and gathered food, grass, and people. What did they do? "

"If I were them, I would definitely instigate the major forces to fight and sell them weapons and war horses, which would lead to the desolation of these forces' fertile fields and the decline of their population."

"At that time, these forces will be weakened more and more, and there will be evil wolves around them. They have no intention of developing at all, so they can only continue to buy from them. If this is the case, the lord thinks, who is controlling these endlessly fighting forces?"

"Hiss!" Hearing what Fazheng said, Lucheng couldn't help but gasp. According to Fazheng, it is really possible for these caravans to do this.

This is somewhat similar to modern proxy wars. After all, these caravans have a lot of wealth. As long as they are given the opportunity to take root and cooperate with them to continuously produce blood and support them, it is very simple to train an agent.

But Lucheng will not give up eating because of choking, everything has two sides, and now, the advantages of accepting the caravan still outweigh the disadvantages.

Lucheng also wanted to hear Fazheng's solution. Since Fazheng had already raised this issue, he probably had a draft in mind.

At this moment, looking at the young man who was drinking alone in front of him, Lu Cheng clearly saw a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
