1117 Chapter 1117: Trade

This is also a temptation.

St. Peter started with the magic vision machine, and then slowly introduced other technologies from the Melox Empire.

Obviously, no matter how good they have others, it is not as good as what they made themselves.

It is even more unexpected that there are still behaviors where technology can get stuck.

In the past few years, the Magic Council has also invested a lot of money in research and development, but the results are not satisfactory.

It is inferior to the Melox Empire and the Maxim Empire in every aspect. Except for weapons, many businessmen have already made the slogan that it is better to buy than to make.

This is also the impact of the Libra Chamber of Commerce's smuggling of goods to the United Magic Empire.

The same goods, smuggled from the Melox Empire, are cheap and durable.

Even if the smuggled price is higher than the goods produced by the United Magic Empire, the market has always been very good because the leather is durable.

The most critical is the ruling class system of the United Magic Empire.

With the Magic Parliament as the main body, there are dozens of countries under it. The strength of these countries is uneven. Because there is a parliament watching over their heads, it is impossible for too many conflicts and disputes to erupt.

Strong countries are so strong that they are in a mess, and weak and small countries are too lazy to stand up.

However, as smuggling activities in the Melox Empire became more and more rampant, even those salted fish countries could not sit still.

They re-salt the fish, and the daily necessities and products used by the people are produced and sold by them.

There are many countries in the union, which is like a big family. Parents will inevitably favor the few children they like the most, and the industrial strength of each other is also very different.

In the past, everyone's production value was backward and they were able to meet the needs of their own country. Thank God, but with the emergence of smuggling, these uncompetitive products will naturally face the problem of being eliminated. Behind these factories, nine out of ten are controlled by powerful figures in the country , This is cutting flesh with a blunt knife, can they not be in a hurry?

To upgrade their industry, they need to spend a large amount of money to reinvest. This is more uncomfortable than killing them. How could they accept it? They will naturally bring the matter to the parliament, hoping that the parliament will ban this illegal behavior.

What can the parliament do? Since smuggling is illegal, the parliament asked the border guards to strengthen their patrols and guards to prevent the entry of smuggled goods from the Merox Empire.

However, this has triggered the interests of border nobles and merchants engaged in smuggling.

It is these people who spread the slogan that it is better to buy than to make your own.

Although smuggling has been curbed a lot after all, it still cannot stop the huge market demand. There are still many aristocratic businessmen who take risks, and at the same time, many big nobles and heads of state are encouraged to propose to the parliament to establish bilateral trade cities.

As soon as this proposal came out, those nobles who supported domestic independence were frightened and stopped it one after another.

For this problem alone, the council has magisters fighting on the spot every month, and St. Peter was so angry that he almost killed all these unsatisfied bastards.

After a long period of research, the Magic Council finally agreed to establish bilateral trade, but the tariffs were increased during customs clearance, and luxury goods also imitated the Melox Empire to impose a luxury tax.

To put it simply, the interests of the original smuggled nobles are collected into the parliament. Of course, the amount of tariffs is much smaller, making the original smuggled nobles profitable.

At the same time, I also hope that the goods of the Melox Empire can become catfish, which will form a catfish effect on the United Magic Empire.

Aslan had received this information from Anbu a long time ago, so he naturally enjoyed it.

He couldn't find a reason to occupy the United Magic Empire market.

"Yes, yes, but I have a request. In terms of commercial law, must it be legal and formal? Speaker St. Peter, you should be very aware of the pissing nature of the nobles. In the past, we were beyond our reach and would not do anything to the source of goods, but then With the development of bilateral trade, there will be more merchants coming and going in the future, and your country must guarantee the rights and wealth of imperial merchants."

Aslan said bluntly: "Many nobles have too many shady businesses behind the scenes. You and I don't want to fight each other because of such a trivial matter!"

Foer narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said very generously: "Since our alliance is imminent, there will be too little bilateral trade. We can completely carry out four-way trade, trade cooperation with each other, mutual benefit, mutual progress, and build a beautiful and harmonious world. Joint Council atmosphere."

Aslan looked playful: "It's hard to say whether your country can join the joint council?"

Foer's face suddenly darkened.

Obviously, he also realized that this was another pit that Aslan had prepared for him. If he wanted to start trade, he had to end the negotiations on the East Asian subcontinent as soon as possible.

Compared with the capital of magic and Eastern God, their trade scope is not large, and their trade centers have not yet been placed on sea routes. With the vigorous development of navies of various countries and the increasing size of civilian ships, sea trade will definitely become The largest trade channel, so that the four countries can truly achieve the same trade.

"Then I have to confirm one thing, about the security of the four-way sea trade route after the joint council is established?"

Foer's problem is simple, that is, he is worried that someone will take the opportunity to make a cameo pirate.

This kind of behavior is like some aristocratic businessmen, who are just serious businessmen on weekdays, and occasionally act as robbers to attack other chamber of commerce pedestrians.

It's just that the positions of the two have been replaced by the sea.

"This is indeed a big issue, and we have to discuss it carefully."

Aslan also affirmed it, and at the same time, his attitude was very clear. If the matter of the East Asian subcontinent cannot be settled as soon as possible, then the matter of maritime trade should not be discussed.

St. Peter and Reinsky I, who knew little about sea trade, looked at each other. They should not get involved in this matter for the time being. They should study it carefully when they go back at night.

Seeing that the Melox Empire and the Maxim Empire are coercing each other for this, there must be huge benefits in it.

On the proposal of quadrilateral trade, Reinsky I agreed with both hands and feet.

The industrial development of the Magic United Empire is backward, so the industrial development of the Eastern God religion is almost nothing in terms of its huge territory.

This has also prevented the new army rifles of the Eastern God Kingdom from being popularized so far. The weapons used by many soldiers were seized from other countries. Among the four countries, the "Made by All Nations" country is truly used.

After this period of war, Rheinsky I also realized the importance of industrial development.

He even considered actively seeking industrial cooperation with the Melox Empire after the trade agreement was launched, hoping that the Melox Empire would assist them in building a new industrial system.

As for the Maxim Empire, they are really too dark. When the Maxim Chamber of Commerce went to the Maxim Firm, they stabbed the Eastern God Church and the Magic Council countless times, and made a lot of war money.
