Strong Journey

Chapter 28 Sea Coachman [4]

"What? Want to form a maritime trade union?

"Yes, that's right." Catherine responded very coldly, as if she was not talking about an important thing, but something piecemeal. Then he gave a slightly white look, turned his head charmingly, and no longer paid attention to the questioner.

The man had to sit down after eating the turtle, but the sudden ups did make these officials feel like flying around in the sky. Life rises and falls too fast, which makes people feel like they want to pee. In the words of some bastard, that's too exciting.

"I personally share in the Grand Duke's Mansion with 35% of the shares. The principality's finance accounts for 40%, and the remaining 25% will be raised from the private sector. Any individual who organizes a chamber of commerce can participate. Of course, officials of the Principality are not allowed to participate!" He said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is unfair. Although we are officials of the Principality, why do we deprive us of the right to participate?"

There is an old qualification who seems to think that he is very good. In the same way, this guy forgot how the bastard Grand Duke treated those disobedient people many years ago. But Boss Ma said to him calmly, "No reason, because I'm willing to." What, do you have different opinions?

"No, no." A drop of cold sweat slipped, and the poor guy sat down in the contemptuous eyes of everyone. Presumably, when he just stood up to ask questions, someone was already scolding him as a stupid pig in his heart. Originally, the officials discussed that it might be a little sweet, but now in a word, he was directly beaten by Tiger. House slapped him to death. Those officials who hate the undercapitalized family are itchy, but Catherine praises in her heart: this madman's tricks are becoming more and more proficient.

The person who just asked was just a guy arranged by Ma Hu for a long time. His purpose is nothing more than to let Ma Hu directly block the retreat of those officials.

Do you want to continue to make huge profits from maritime trade? Absolutely not!

Once an official is addicted to this, he doesn't know what terrible things will happen, but he can foresee it.

How much sadness is caused by excessive greed in this world. How can Ma Hu allow his painstaking efforts to be wasting like this?

"Catherine, please continue." Ma Hu stretched out his hand and motioned, Catherine. Nar just stood up, nodded to Ma Hu, and then continued to say, "The Principality gives this alliance the naval power in the Baltic Sea and even the Gulf of Portinha, and can carry out legal punishment at the right time and place. This alliance appeared as a naval reserve to expand the increase in the number of ships on the register of the Principality.

"I hope you here will understand that the reason why we can enjoy so many benefits than people in most countries is not because we are geniuses or too kind, but because I, the Grand Duke Norman you are loyal to, has a military force that people dare not shake. Only with enough military power can we strangle our opponents in the cradle and then seize huge benefits from their citizens through trade. I hope you can understand all this. He nodded carelessly and stopped talking.

Several guards standing back and forth distributed several important regulations to the hands of the bosses sitting in front of them. Warhammer Saxon touched his nose and admired Tiger in his heart. While House's means are superb, he also does understand part of the meaning. He is well aware of the current life of the citizens of the entire territory of the former Estonian Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, Tiger. House's bastard made him die a thousand times without frowning, but Saxon also admitted that this scum brought people was one of the few hopes. Even, to some extent, Tiger. House's existence has exceeded the expectations of the people.

Ordinary citizens who have suffered bad sins such as hunger and suffering, but now have a slightly upgraded status, are excited to find that after hard work, they have finally received a little reward. Even the taurens who live outside Tamsalu know that as long as they are willing and willing to work, they can even become a small and wealthy middle class.

It's such a simple thing, and the difference is just Tiger. House put a little bit of power and self-esteem.

"In this way, we will control the trade between the Kingdom of Riedian and the Kingdom of Fairland, and even to a certain extent, they have to rely on our trading capacity. Grain, cotton cloth, luxury goods, these are all lacking. At that time...haha." Sahili waved his fist excitedly. His few words were reflected by the damn noble officials. Although some guys were still ignorant, these were not important. As long as there were a few people who understood, it was enough.

"This will be a great wealth, and we will definitely monopolize the trade in the whole ice land. Imagine, haha, the food of the two kingdoms also needs our trading fleet to be transported every day. Otherwise, most of them will starve to death, and then there will be a terrible plague, and then the whole country will begin to collapse and disintegrate. This is really exciting.

Sahili fell into a beautiful dream and smiled carelessly. Of course, he did not interrupt the Viking man's intention**.

Norton, the Tauren, thought for a while and asked calmly, "So is it imperative to expand the navy in this way?"

"Hmm. Yes, that's right." Catherine. Nar nodded. She still needed the necessary respect for Norton, the chief of the Tauren, one of the three giants. "According to the actual situation, in order to block the Kingdom of Rheldine and the Kingdom of Philland, there must be at least three large fleets, each of which must have more than 70 medium-sized warships. Of course, such an expansion only refers to a conservative estimate. In practice, three large fleets are absolutely not enough. The navy and His Majesty mean that in the next year and a half, although we have to face the conquest of Latvia, the expansion of the navy will still be a priority!"

The money needed to expand the army is not so small.

None of the giant warships cost 350,000 gold coins in hell, medium-sized warships cost more than 100,000 gold coins, and 200 are 20 million gold coins. This data is really horrible. And it does not include the equally expensive magic crystal cannon and the navy's military pay. Even according to the standard standard of seven and a half silver coins, 100,000 people are 75,000 gold coins, which is only a month's military pay, and does not include the subsidy of three half silver coins. In this way, it actually costs 110,000 gold coins.

And these are only basic consumption, such as weapon maintenance and procurement, ship maintenance, and the financial and material resources needed to open up new routes. And water supplies, these things are all headaches. Once the navy is expanded, the coastal ports will not be enough, and it is urgent to open new ports.

For good fortune-sightedness, he has long opened simple ports on Hiuma Island and Prangeli Island. Although it is still very simple, it is more than enough for the navy alone. What's more, the construction of the naval base on Hioma does not require him to think more. His Excellency the Governor will complete all these tasks for him.

"This will be a lot of money." Norton frowned and said.

The miser Sha Heli's ears trembled, as if he looked at the sloppy with great pain. Then the latter curled his lips and said, "Please Shazu, don't show the expression of a dead friend. Do you believe that you can build a strong army without money? Don't be silly. You can't lose a penny of the money you should spend.

Sahili shrugged his head depressedly, and he imagined that it would cost a lot of money.

It's just that he still looked up with a little expectation and looked at Catherine. Nar asked, "How much does it cost?"

"37 million gold coins!" Catherine. Nar said lightly, as if he was not talking about 37 million, but 300 yuan. His eyes didn't even fluctuate too much, but the officials around him had already taken a cold breath. What?!! Thirty-seven million gold coins! What the hell is this? Is it to spend money to play?!

But no one thinks it's stupid. At least, at this time last year, no one thinks so.

The people of the Slavic Empire smelled the smell and even proposed to work with the Grand Duchy of Norman to build their so-called West Sea Fleet, and it turned out to be in Tiger. House touched the ashes of his nose here. The proud imperial knight of Chikov was so full that he almost didn't lose his temper on the spot.

It's a pity that he doesn't even want to say a few more good words.

Fortunately, Ivanov's fat uncle still gave a large amount of money to Tiger from the northern border of the Slavs. House's trading team went to the sea, and a large amount of money flowed into the Grand Duchy of Norman.

It can be said that in the past six months, all countries in the world may have been making money, but there are not many countries like the Grand Duchy of Norman that make more money with less capital.

"This is the necessary funds for the construction and expansion of the navy of the Grand Duchy of Norman in the future, and when the money is not enough, it will be added." He said sloppyly, "I think everyone here is not an idiot and a fool. Of course, I know that if you want to be a real sea coachman, it is not just what to say. Without absolute force, it is impossible to survive in this sea. You have to believe my judgment. At least in the next few years, you must believe My judgment."

Ma Hu said extremely confidently: "I can assert without hesitation that the opera competition in the future world is definitely focused on the ocean. Whoever controls the sea is the king of the king!" You can remember this sentence. If I say something wrong, I can let Death harvest my soul in advance.

This is extremely cruel, but in the eyes of sloppy, his eyes are calm, and he said, "And I can guarantee that when the expanded naval combat effectiveness is formed, so much investment will be recovered within three months."

As soon as the words were said, the whole audience was full of light.
