This Cheat Is Too Much

This Cheat Is Too Much Chapter 748

"Sir William, please save me again this time."

Being tied up by the Elon family for one day one night, Jose, who was blue with cold, rubbed his face. With his palms, he picked up the cup on the table in the reception room and took a sip of the hot tea, sighing:

"When Mr. Andy was tied up, I thought that this time I would lose the goods at most, I don't need to suffer any more, didn't expect... alas..."

This "sigh" from the small businessman is really sad and tender, just one word has no practical significance. The tone of the words, but unconsciously expressed countless bitterness and bitterness, but those who have not poured blood mold dozens of times, I am afraid that they will not be able to sigh this resentful woman.

It's okay, just get used to it. Anyway, you've had so many bad luck, and it's not bad one or two times.

After looking up at the little businessman possessed by mold, William also took a sip of the hot tea and asked slowly:

"So, Andrea The senior brother was returning the boat when he came, and it has been demolished by the Elon family?"

"en. A few seconds later, he said helplessly:

"The original plan of the Elon family was to pass through fifteen territories and attack the capital directly, which requires a huge amount of siege equipment. , so in fact, not only the ship of Mr. Andy's family, but all the ships moored in the Hongye Inner Harbor have been almost demolished now...

So... Mr. William, we are afraid that there are Trouble."

After hearing the little businessman's words, William held the teacup's hand for a while, then glanced over the top of the teacup and looked over in surprise.

"All the ships were dismantled?"

"Um..."

Jose sighed, after putting down the teacup, he said with a bitter expression:

"After arresting me and Mr. Andy's entourage, the Elon family's soldiers tore down all the large ships in front of us, leaving only a dozen medium-sized ships. and below.

In order to find out the situation, I told the guard that I was going to pee on the river, and took the opportunity to check the draught and freeboard of those boats, and I was sure that all the rest were river boats , not even a single ship with a bilge hull remained.

Sir William, although we have recovered most of the goods we promised to the Blue Tide murlocs, the Hongye Inner Harbor is now devastated. I'm not sure, I'm afraid I won't be able to find enough ships in the short term.

"

Well...that would be a bit of a hassle...

William hearing this couldn't help but frowned , The Senior Brother from Banshee has just sent a very generous gift. It stands to reason that the money earned from the trade with Sea Clan is not very important.

But considering the newly added 20,000 captives and the super gold-devouring beast of the alchemy workshop, there will only be more or less places to spend money in the future, so the blue tide mermaid department will at least Trading partners that have lasted for several years still need to be carefully maintained.

After pondering for a while, William asked:

"José, I remember the transaction between the Daybreaker and the Blue Tide Murlocs, mainly large amounts of food and iron. Right? Now that there are no large sea-going boats with cargo holds, can those small river boats be completely useless? If there are enough small boats, can you top one first?"

"No, no Yes."

The little businessman raised his hand and rubbed his face, which was flushed from the cold, and explained with a gloomy expression:

"The river boats are all flat-bottomed and freeboard. If the height is too low, there will definitely be waves on the deck when going into the sea, and most of the cargo holds of inland ships are open air, and generally they will not be equipped with a sheltered cargo deck, and those grains and iron items will soak in water when they are transported in the past.

Plus Because of the small wind and waves in inland rivers, the center of gravity of inland river boats is generally higher than that of sea boats. …

After listening to Jose’s explanation, William frowned pondered for a while, and didn’t expect a good solution, so he had to look towards the gloomy little businessman on the opposite side, and proposed:

p>

"In this way, I will send people to go to sea as soon as possible, you go to the blue tide murlocs first, explain to them the difficulty of the daybreak collar, and discuss whether it can be delayed for a while, and so on. After I get the ship, I will definitely deliver the goods as soon as possible."

"I feel... the probability of success is not very high..."

Jose sighed, somewhat helplessly:

"It's okay to say ironware or something. Originally, the price we gave has an advantage over other people. Most of those mermaids don't care about waiting for a while;

But the food is not easy to say. Most of the marine fish around the blue tide fish are "spring-egg type", and the population that spawns in spring is the largest. Therefore, in order to avoid affecting the number of marine fish, Falan's late winter to early spring period. Fishing is generally prohibited.

This rule also applies to Sea Clans, so the blue tide mermaid will be very short of food in spring, and in winter shellfish and algae are all There are very few, and the mermaids lack the means to store food for a long time, and the food stored in autumn is estimated to be almost eaten.

If you know that we cannot transport the food as promised, Buying food from other people is a trivial matter. If you can't get enough food, the mermaids who are in a hurry will probably start blocking the sea route and rely on looting merchant ships in exchange for food..."

Hmm... I remember that blue tide mermaids were quite friendly in my last life, didn't 't expect are they really that natural?

I feel that the blue tide mermaid department in the small businessman's mouth is not the same as the blue tide mermaid department in my memory, William frowned recalled it, and then he was a little disbelieving:

"The trade routes on the Blue Tide Mermaid's territory should include not only Falan and the Holy Empire, but also the Dwarves and the Arcane Empire, right? They block the route for so little food. Are they not afraid of public anger and a counterattack?"

“They’re really not afraid of…”

José bitterly laughed:

“Sir William, it’s not the entire Blue Tide Mermaid Department that trades with us, but It is the Grey Anchor Clan under the name of the Blue Tide Mermaid Department. Because the ocean is too big, the relationship between Sea Clan is very special. Compared with the subordination we understand, they are actually closer to "anchor".

Now this Grey Anchor clan, because the seabed was destroyed by the sudden eruption of the seabed volcano, chased the fish and moved to the range of the Blue Tide Mermaid Department, and as long as the main race of their clan is mermaid, then they will They belong to the Blue Tide Mermaid Division.

If another seabed volcano destroys their newly opened sea fields, or if the number of new fish schools drops sharply every year, it is difficult to maintain their survival. The clan will leave, and then they will have nothing to do with the blue tide mermaid.

So, if there is a lack of food, the Grey Anchor clan will definitely block the route and grab a wave, if it really angers Two Great Empires, at worst leave early, after all, such semi-nomadic marine clans rarely stay in one place for too many years."

"Oh...so that's how it is ..."

After listening to Jose's detailed explanation, William couldn't help but scratched his head, feeling a little sorry for his "ignorant and incompetent".

Although I have dealt with Sea Clan a lot in my last life, it would be a bit embarrassing for a guy who would try his best to jump the plot while playing games and expect him to study Sea Clan's habits and social relations. .

In addition, with the passage of time, many memories have begun to blur, except for some impressive things that he can't forget, he can't remember many details.

William doesn't remember many things about the Blue Tide Mermaid Department. Among them, there are two things that impressed me the most. The second deepest is the fall of the Blue Tide Mermaid and the death of the Blue Tide Queen.

Because the patriarch lives near the sea, when Sea Clan tried to occupy the land and turn a small area of the Holy Empire into a swamp, the blue tide murlocs suffered the most ferocious first wave of counterattacks from the human side.

However, because this tribe stayed in the sea all the year round, communicated with the intelligent creatures on the land, and they were still close to each other, so they were suspected and rejected by the Sea Clan coalition, and they did not get it in time. The rescue of the Holy Empire was directly wiped out by the Holy Empire, and even the pirates with the Queen of the Blue Tide and the tide port were also counted as traitors and killed.

Oh yes, the one who started the operation is the current Holy Son of Holy Church, the pope of lasagna who has always been thinking about Fifth Layer. People "see through" the blue tide mermaids and pirates at a glance. "Scam surrender", and resolutely decided to eliminate all the centrists, ordered martial power to drive away all the offshore Sea Clan that were still indecisive, and directly dragged half of the Offa continent into the quagmire of war.

How should I put it... The vision of the Holy Church cardinals is really awesome. Holy Church really has 800 years of blood mold to put on such a wonderful thing.

However, the most outrageous thing is that Holy Church, which had lost its strength to resist the devil, was about to lose its first position. As a result, after the war with Sea Clan was enlarged, because of the Arcane Empire's The Archons have little interest in command, so Holy Church once again dominated the war with Sea Clan, commanding the forces of the entire Offa continent to fight one bad battle after another.

After a lot of messed up battles are over, this time all the forces in the continent have shrunk, and the position of the leader of Holy Church has once again become as stable as Mount Tai, even more powerful than before. Goodbye...

Nothing else, balance exists between all things, okay?

Some people's brains are outrageous, and you can't tell if he's a smart-ass idiot or really from the very beginning to squat on Fifth Layer.

Anyway, William still couldn't understand until now, whether the pope of lasagna took the initiative to expand the war, whether there is any reason to stabilize his position.

But there is one thing he is very clear about. It is really a pity that the Blue Tide Mermaid Division was exterminated. I can no longer see those who only wear two large shells all year round, leaning on their shirtless shirts. Little beauty fish singing on the reef.

Well, this is what impressed him the most about the Blue Tide Mermaid Department.

And William especially regrets that the nasty blue-tide queen is only half a mermaid and doesn't have the habit of dangling around in two big shells, well... maybe it's Because shells with such a large curvature are not easy to find, if there are shells with a suitable curvature, maybe...

"Lord William? Lord William!"

I waited for a long time. Hearing the following, the little businessman who was secretly worried looked up, only to find that the person who should be most worried seemed to have slipped away. Mysteriously twitched and seemed to want to go up...

"Ah? Oooh!"

Will be called back to God by Jose's voice, and William slammed his hands up He put it back on the table, pursed the corners of his disobedient mouth, and said with a slightly displeased expression in his eyes:

"What are you shouting? I was just thinking about how to get the Shell Clan to give up the looting. It was already too soon. I came up with the result, but I lost all my thoughts when you shouted."

"..."

"William... Sir William..."

The little businessman put his hand over his forehead, and said helplessly:

"What we were discussing just now was the Grey Anchor Clan under the Blue Tide Mermaid's name, not the Shell Clan..."

"Name doesn't matter, what matters is the method!"

After clearing his throat and covering up his embarrassment, William sat up straight and said with a serious face:

"Are you warm now? If you are warm, go back! I need to be alone now, and your presence here will affect my way of solving the problem."

"Yes, I'll be here. Leave, I just hope you can send someone to let me know after you think of a way..."

After two weak responses, Jose drank the cold black tea in the quilt in one gulp. Tightening his thick fur robe, he pushed open the door and left the reception room.

After the small businessman left, William squeezed his chin and began to think about the consequences if the Grey Anchor clan really blocked the sea route.

Let's not say anything else, the tax revenue of Dawn Collar will definitely be affected to a certain extent. After all, about 40% of the caravans that leave the Dawn Collar and go south will choose to go by sea.

The merchants are often the most informed. If the sea route is blocked by the Grey Anchor clan, it will be in chaos for at least several months, except for those who have signed a dead contract or the goods cannot be stored for a long time. Except for those who really have no choice, most caravans will probably choose to wait two or three months.

In the past two or three months, Dawn Collar could neither collect taxes nor earn money from these merchants for transferring goods, renting warehouses, etc., and I am afraid they will lose a lot of income.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not all bad news. After all, although the Dawning Landing is the only way to go to the Holy Empire, it is not the only way to the seaport. Just a convenient one.

So if the sea route is blocked, I am afraid that there will be a large number of caravans who originally chose the sea route. They will be led by the dawn instead, and they will sell their goods to the Holy Empire by land. Rather more?

Hey...this one has to think about...

William put his hands on the table and rubbed each other with hesitant eyes.

If you don't transport food, Shell... ah no, most of the gray anchor clan under the blue tide mermaid will have a food shortage and start looting the merchant ship to block the sea route, but you can make a lot of money by yourself. Pen, but the price is that most of them will be blacklisted. If you want to continue to do business with Sea Clan in the future, I am afraid it will be a lot of trouble.

As for the transportation of food...Although I will make less money, I just need to reveal a little about the "difficult choices" that the Dawn Collar has experienced, and shape my noble sentiment that I would rather make less money than abide by the agreement. You can sell a big favor, and even have the opportunity to get a large order of alchemy creations from the blue tide mermaid...
