Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

What's more, the current real dragon has not encountered any major problems. It is far from being stupid. It is just a little confused.

We don't even know if he's been infected with oripathy yet.

Wei Yanwu took up his sword and went to the palace in 1062, so the real dragon is still in his prime.

"But why did such foolish voices appear a few years ago? The timing is wrong."

Huang Cao felt that his thinking seemed to be misguided, because he had heard rumors that the Yan State's lineup was gradually becoming weak a few years ago.

When the soothing sound happened, he thought the big one was about to come, but until now there has been no news.

He even prepared Jie's life-saving props early on.

"Oh boy, I just remembered the timeline now."

Huang Cao thought about it in the office for half a day and finally remembered the plot he had seen in his previous life.

"So there are still 30 years left. How did the rumors spread before? They even reached me."

Looks like it's time to investigate...

After searching the Originium database, Huang Cao did not find any relevant information. In the end, he had to send well-trained intelligence personnel to the distant Yan Country to gather information.

Half a month later, Huang Cao drove to the chaotic Longmen himself.

This was one of the few opportunities to go abroad without the army, and it was also a particularly novel experience for Mr. Huang.

Thanks to the rapid development of business, Utopia has fixed asset investments in various countries, and products such as bank cards have long become a common tool for economic development.

Therefore, there is no need to carry so much money every time you go out. After all, Mr. Huang’s country has not yet developed such a heaven-defying technology as the space ring.

After arriving in Longmen and withdrawing some money from a local bank, I walked around the yellow grass for half a day before I finally understood why the lower city area of ​​Longmen in the plot was so chaotic.

Even decades ago, in Longmen today, there was no distinction between the upper and lower urban areas. There was only a distinction between pseudo-safe areas and non-safe areas.

Why is it a pseudo-safe zone?

Because it is only relatively safe. Hiding in it does not mean you can rest assured. You may be assassinated at any time.

The security conditions in Syracuse are better than those in Longmen today.

After searching around for a long time, passing several corpses in the yellow grass, he finally arrived at the teahouse where he had agreed to meet Old Black Snake.

At this time, the old black snake with a sickly pale face had already made tea and had been waiting by the table for a long time.

"Greetings, Lord of Utopia, I have long heard of your great name..."

Kosice stood up and gestured for permission very gracefully.

Chapter 299 The Black Snake Begging for Food from Mr. Huang

"Respected Lord Black Snake, I think Utopia must carefully consider the possibility of cooperating with you at this time. This city is truly terrible, even more chaotic than Syracuse."

"I really cannot agree with your management ability."

The choked black snake had no way to refute. Strictly speaking, this was indeed the result of its failure to handle the situation properly.

But this city is for fishing, and making the residents here live well is not its main purpose.

"Can't you see? This city is far more attractive than you might imagine. It also has an excellent geographical location, nestled between major powers, and with the support of two of them."

Huang Cao frowned slightly and immediately understood the other party's implication.

The original purpose of this city was not to serve as a war fortress, but as an opening to trigger war.

Ursus is a country driven by war. Although it has the largest land area in the world of Terra, no matter how much land it has, it cannot satisfy the appetite of this greedy giant bear.

What’s more, most of these lands are uninhabited areas.

"I suppose your Excellency invited me to this city in order to ruin my mood with this filthy environment."

Huang Cao seemed to be covering his nose in disgust, and a fishy smell filled the air.

Who could have imagined that Longmen, which became an economic center in just a few decades in the original plot, would be in this state today?

"This is my sincerity. I would like to exchange this mobile city for food from your utopia."

Haha, do you really think you can hide the matter of Longmen from me?

This is not the way to get something for nothing.

And is the city of Longmen yours?

You dare to give it to me on its behalf?

I'm afraid he has wanted to get rid of it for a long time, but he just hasn't found a sucker.

Why do I say this? It is because Ursus still had the capital to start a war in the past, so it would not suffer a huge loss.

But since becoming the loser in the Four Emperors' War, Ursus has not gained any benefits. Now it has concentrated all its strength on national defense.

I am afraid that the neighboring country will do something big to me.

After Ursus was defeated, this giant bear with all its teeth pulled out lost the ability to take the initiative to attack for at least thirty years.

Longmen is a powder keg that may explode at any time. The power to ignite it used to be in the hands of Ursus, but now it has become Yan Country.

How could this not make Black Snake alert?

4. Even if it means huge losses, it must deliver the Longmen powder keg, and it is just right to deliver it to Utopia.

It would be best if the two countries fought directly.

"Mr. Black Snake, don't think I don't know your true identity. When I call you Black Snake, you know how vigilant I am towards you."

"I thought it was because of my race, but you can also call me Mr. Kosice."

"Immortal Black Snake, do you need me to explain it more clearly?"

The sound of Umbrella Yellow Grass made Kosice's face stiffen, but he quickly returned to normal.

"It seems that you know much more about Ursus than I imagined. I'm very sorry for being so abrupt just now."

"I'm very angry because I really want to do business with you, but it seems that you don't feel my sincerity."

Huang Cao pretended to be angry and said, "You want to get something for nothing from me? You don't even want to act anymore. You want to turn the conflict between you and Yan Country into a conflict between me and Yan Country. I'm not sure you can eat this fish."

The black snake looked calm, but a huge wave of turmoil had already risen in his heart.

"I think this is all a misunderstanding, but I must apologize. I really didn't understand the current situation of the city just now, because I haven't been here for a long time."

After making up a random excuse to fool people, Black Snake forced the topic of the transaction back on track.

Keep trying to fool people.

His art of speaking is comparable to Theresa's. With just a few words, he packaged Longmen into a hot spot for investment.

However, there is still a difference. Before her identity was exposed, Theresa persuaded Mr. Huang to invest in Kazdel, which was indeed a loss-making business.

But this is not the case given Longmen’s geographical conditions, and it is also a relatively large mobile city.

"Black Snake, tell me what you think about going against the Yan Kingdom."

"Mr. Huang, I believe in your abilities and the military strength of Utopia. Besides, you have already made arrangements with the top officials of Yan Nation, such as those high-yield seeds."

"Your intelligence methods are unexpected. You were able to infiltrate such a place."

The yellow grass was not blown out directly, but it was obvious that the other party did not want to reveal more information.

Both of them are top conspirators, and their words can no longer be described as riddles.

Every word they said was a test of each other, but they never turned the table over.

So two people who were both rich in their respective countries occupied a seat for an afternoon and only ordered two cups of tea.

Even the owner of the small shop was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Doing business in the chaotic Longmen requires a bit of vision, and these two gentlemen are obviously people of extraordinary status.

As dusk approached, Kosice was the first to give in.

If you are not my brother, you dare to compete with me for a penny of profit?

Black Snake couldn't hold it in anymore, not because he didn't want to continue.

But he finished his drink and then talked a lot of nonsense, which really made him feel dry in the mouth.

"One price: 100,000 tons of unhusked wheat. I want this mobile city!"

Huang Cao slammed the table heavily, wanting the other party to make a decision quickly.

Black Snake laughed, "Sir, it's too much to ask for this mobile city with just 100,000 tons of food. How many days can this amount of food feed the tens of millions of people in Ursus?"

It is indeed a bit disrespectful. Exchanging 100,000 tons of unhusked wheat for a mobile city is really an exorbitant price.

Five million tons of refined wheat is about right. At least Black Snake needs to recover the construction cost of this mobile city.

Why doesn’t the black snake just go buy food?

Because international food prices are controlled by Utopia, Mr. Huang is not only in charge of food pricing, but also of food production and sales, and even fertilizers and other aspects.

If Black Snake was only in charge of sales, he might still have some ways to resort to illegal means, but Mr. Huang controlled all the production channels, so there was really no way out.

So let alone 100,000 tons, now if Ursus goes through international channels, it will be impossible to buy even one ton of food without a special relationship between allies.

why?

Because this country has made too many enemies, the surrounding areas are all enemy countries and there are no friendly countries at all.

Today, Black Snake finally realized that there are people in this world who are more greedy than himself.

One hundred thousand tons of food can only support the consumption of three hundred thousand people for nine months at most, and cannot make up for the current gap in Ursus.

"One price! Three million tons of finely ground wheat, this is my bottom line!" Black Snake said gritting his teeth.

"Are you dreaming?" Huang Cao mocked mercilessly.

Chapter 300: The True "Loving the People Like Sons" Old Black Snake

"Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need for us to talk anymore. Utopia doesn't need a mobile city."

Although Longmen’s geographical environment is indeed attractive, what kind of country is Utopia?

The leader of imperialism!

So when am I going to reason with you?

Following the rules is civilized, and breaking the rules is your duty.

At worst, we can spend some time building a mobile city, and then rush directly into this area under the escort of warships.

We can only say that this is the case with the great powers.

Everyone hates the great powers, and everyone wants to become a great power.

The fist is the last word.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement today. Anyway, it's the Ursus people who starved to death, not the Utopians. It has nothing to do with me."

Huang Cao has always put interests above all else in the country's internal and external relations. Unless you have an emotional connection with him, don't even think about asking him to give you a backdoor.

"It seems that the chips in my hand are not rich enough."

Black Snake also expressed regret, but he still didn't want to give up.

So he gave a very tempting reason, "I am willing to exchange a portion of Koschei Territory's land and this mobile city in exchange for your country's 750 million tons of milled wheat."

Huang Cao's mind moved, "I believe this is definitely not an idea that you suddenly came up with on impulse. You should have a map with you. Let me see it."

Black Snake took out a map of his territory from his sleeve and pointed at the area that had already been drawn with his slender fingers.

"Thirty thousand square kilometers—a very generous number, isn't it?"☆·!

Huang Cao curled his lips. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he was sure:

"I guess these tens of thousands of square kilometers of land are all permafrost, and it's not as difficult to develop as the Originium land in Kazdel."

The black snake was choked hard and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Why is this guy so hard to fool?

Just like an egg without any cracks.

Huang Cao said this has become a routine operation.

After more than a hundred years in this world, he has already become a mature leader.

Most conspiracies and tricks are like child's play in his eyes.
