This Plug-in is Too Middle School

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

After being **** by the Elon family for a day and a night, Jose, who was blue-faced from the cold, rubbed his palms, picked up the cup on the table in the reception room and took a sip of hot tea, sighing:

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

The small businessman's "Alas" is really sad and tender. It's just a tone without any practical significance, but it conveys countless bitterness and bitterness without knowing it. People with blood mildew, I'm afraid they won't 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 this time or two.

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

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

"Um."

Jose first nodded lightly, and after recalling for a few seconds, he said helplessly:

"The original plan of the Elon family was to pass through fifteen territories all the way, and then directly attack the capital. The amount of siege equipment needed is huge, so in fact, it is not only the sea ship of Mr. Andy's family, but the Hongye Inner Harbor. All the ships that were moored have now been almost dismantled...

So... Sir William, we are afraid we are in trouble. "

After hearing the little businessman's words, William paused while holding the teacup, then glanced over the upper edge of the teacup and looked over in surprise.

"All the ships were torn down?"

"Um……"

Jose sighed, and after putting down the teacup, he said bitterly:

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

In order to clarify the situation, I told the guard that I was going to urinate by the river. I took the opportunity to look at the drafts and freeboards of those boats. I could confirm that all the remaining boats were river boats, even a bilge-shaped hull. did not stay.

Sir William, although most of the goods we promised to the Blue Tide murlocs have been recovered, the Hongye Inner Harbor has been devastated by the scourge, and I am afraid that we will not be able to find a sufficient number of ships in the short term. "

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

When William heard this, he couldn't help frowning. The senior female goblin had just sent an unusually generous gift. Logically speaking, the money earned from the trade with the sea clan was not very important.

But considering the newly added more than 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 is a trading partner that will last for at least several years. Still needs to be well maintained.

After pondering for a while, William asked:

"José, I remember that the transaction between the Dawn Collar and the Blue Tide Murlocs was mainly about large amounts of food and iron items, right? Now that there are no large sea ships with cargo holds, can those small river boats be completely useless? If If there are enough boats, can you top one first?"

"No, I can't stand it."

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

"Inland river boats are all flat-bottomed, and the freeboard height is too low. If they go to the sea, the deck will definitely be surfed, and most of the cargo holds of inland river boats are open air, and generally they will not be equipped with sheltered cargo decks. Those grains and iron items will soak in water when transported in the past. .

In addition, because the inland river wind and waves are small, the center of gravity of inland river boats is generally higher than that of sea boats.

so...

After listening to Jose's explanation, William frowned and pondered for a while, but he still didn't think of a good solution, so he had to look at the gloomy little businessman on the opposite side and proposed:

"In this way, I will send someone to get a sea ship as soon as possible, you go to the blue tide fishmen first, explain to them the difficulty of the daybreak collar, discuss whether it can be dragged for a while, and wait until I get the ship. , will definitely deliver the goods as soon as possible.”

"It feels like...the possibility of success is not very high..."

Jose sighed and said helplessly:

"It's okay to say ironware or something. Originally, the price we gave has an advantage over other people. Most of those mermaids won'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, the period from late winter to early spring in France The time is generally closed to fishing.

This rule also applies to the sea clan, so the blue tide mermaid will be very short of food in spring. In addition, there are very few shellfish and algae in winter, and the mermaid lacks the means to store food for a long time. It is estimated that the food stored in the autumn is almost eaten.

If we know that we can't transport the food as promised, it's a trivial matter to buy food from other people. If we can't get enough food, the merpeople who are in a hurry may start to block sea routes 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 I expect them to be so natural?

Feeling that the Blue Tide Mermaid Department in the small businessman's mouth is not the same as the Blue Tide Mermaid Department in his memory, William frowned and recalled, and then he said in disbelief:

"The trade routes on the Blue Tide Mermaid's territory should include not only the Flanges and the Holy Empire, but also the Five Dwarves and the Arcane Empire, right? If they block the route for such a little food, are they not afraid of angering the public and causing a counterattack?"

"They really aren't afraid..."

Jose smiled bitterly:

"Lord William, it is not the entire Blue Tide Mermaid Clan that we are dealing with, but the Gray Anchor Clan under the Blue Tide Mermaid Division. Because the ocean is really too big, the relationship between the Sea Clan is very special. The subordination we understand is actually closer to "affiliation" between them.

Right now, the Grey Anchor clan, because the sea field was destroyed by the sudden eruption of the underwater volcano, chased the fish and moved to the range of the Blue Tide Mermaid Division, and as long as the main race of their clan is Mermaid, then they belong to the Blue Tide Mermaid Division. .

If another submarine volcano destroys their newly opened sea fields, or if the number of new fish stocks drops sharply every year, it is difficult to maintain their survival, the Grey Anchor clan will leave, and then they will be with the blue tide mermaid. It doesn't matter anymore.

Therefore, if there is a shortage of food, the Grey Anchor clan will definitely block the route and grab a wave. If it really angers the two empires, it is a big deal to leave early. Staying in one place for too many years. "

"Oh I got it……"

After listening to Jose's detailed explanation, William couldn't help reaching out and scratching his head, feeling a little embarrassed for his "ignorance".

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

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.

Regarding the Blue Tide Mermaid Department, William remembered not many things. Among them, there were two things that impressed him the most. The second deepest was the fall of the Blue Tide Mermaid and the death of the Blue Tide Queen.

Because this tribe lived near the sea for a long time, when the sea tribe tried to occupy the land and turned 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, it communicated with the intelligent creatures on the land, and they were still close to each other. Therefore, they were suspected and rejected by the allied forces of the sea tribe, and they were not rescued in time. They were directly killed by the Holy Empire. They were all wiped out, and even the pirates with the Queen of the Blue Tide and the surging tide harbor were also counted as **** and killed.

Oh, by the way, it is the current Holy Son of the Holy See of Light, the pope of the mille crepe who has always been thinking about the fifth floor. People "see through" the "deceitful surrender" of the blue tide mermaids and pirates at a glance, and resolutely Decided to clear all the centrists, ordered force to drive away all the offshore sea clan who were still indecisive, and directly dragged half of the Austrian continent into the quagmire of war.

How should I put it... The vision of the cardinals of the Holy See is really awesome, and the Holy See of Light really has spent 800 lifetimes of blood mold to spread such a wonderful thing.

However, the most outrageous thing is that the Holy See of Light, which had lost its strength to resist the demons, was about to lose its first position. As a result, after the war with the sea clan was expanded, the consuls of the Arcane Empire had given orders to the commander. Quan was not very interested, so the Holy See of Light once again dominated the war with the Sea Clan, commanding the forces of the entire Austrian continent to fight one bad battle after another.

After a lot of messed up battles are over, the power of the whole continent has shrunk this time, and the position of the leader of the Holy See of Light has once again become as stable as Mount Tai, even more awesome than before...

Nothing else, balance is in everything, right?

Some people's brains are outrageous, and you can't really know whether he is a smart-ass idiot or really squatted on the fifth floor from the beginning until the final information is revealed.

Anyway, William has not figured out until now whether the Pope of Lasagna took the initiative to expand the war, and whether there is any reason to stabilize his position.

But there was one thing he knew very well. It was a pity that the Blue Tide Mermaid Department was exterminated. He would never see those little mermaids who only wore two big shells and sang on the reefs with their shirtless clothes on all year round. .

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

What William especially regrets is that the disgusting blue tide queen can only be regarded as half a mermaid, and has no habit of dangling around wearing two large shells, uh... It may also be because the shells with such a large arc do not It's so easy to find, if there are shells with the right curvature, maybe...

"Lord William? Lord William!"

After waiting for a long time without 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, gestured with his hands half-pressed, and his eyes were staring blankly. In the distance, the corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably, as if he wanted to tilt up...

"Ah? Oh oh!"

After being called back to God by Jose's shout, William suddenly put his hands back on the table, pursed the corners of his disobedient mouth, and said with a slightly unpleasant look in his eyes:

"What are you shouting? I was thinking just now, how can I get the Shell Clan to give up the looting. I had already figured out the result, but when you shouted, I lost all my thoughts."

"..."

"Wei...Lord William..."

The little businessman stretched out his hand to cover 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..."

"The name doesn't matter, what really matters is the method!"

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

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

"Yes, I'm leaving now. I just hope that after you think of a way, you can send someone to let me know..."

After weakly responding twice, Jose drank the cold black tea in the quilt in one gulp, tightened his thick leather robe, pushed the door and left the reception room.

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

Not to mention other things, 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 well-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, and there is no way to do so. , most caravans are estimated to choose to wait two or three months.

In the past two or three months, Dawn Collar has no way to collect taxes, and it is difficult for these merchants to make money for transferring goods and renting warehouses, and I am afraid that they will lose a lot of income.

But if you think about it carefully~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it seems that it is not all bad news. After all, although the Dawn Landing is the only way to the Holy Empire, it is not the only way to the seaport, but it is relatively the most convenient. only 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. In that case... Maybe they will make more money?

uh...that's something 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 shortage of food and start looting merchant ships to block the sea route, but if you can't make a lot of money, but the price is most likely to be Keeping the black accounts, if you want to continue to do business with the sea clan in the future, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

As for transporting food...Although you will earn a fortune, as long as you reveal a little about the "difficult choices" that Daybreak Collar has experienced, and shape your noble sentiment that he would rather make less money and abide by the agreement, you will be able to sell a big favor. There is even a chance to get a large order of alchemy creations from the blue tide mermaid...
