Chapter 874 No One Can Escape

"Oh? Isn't the territory of the Bailie people good?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "I heard that the land and water are fertile and the products are rich."

"No, not good." The man shook his head, "No matter how good the Qing Kingdom is, it is stable. Go to Bailie's place, and if you are halfway through doing business, you might be expropriated!"

"Forcibly requisitioned? What's going on?"

Every country and force must strive to ensure the stability of the economic environment.

How could the Bailie people "expropriate" foreign businessmen's money and goods unless they had to?

During the war in the Yuan Kingdom, they did everything they could to raise food and pay, but no matter how much they searched for people's wealth and support from within, they would not dare to "expropriate" money from transnational money houses like Hong Leong Bank.

You can't control "foreign capital", so you have to be kind to it.

"Isn't Mou State fighting with Bejia in the west? It always needs the help of these small neighboring countries to raise military supplies. Hey, this is no secret. I heard that one time the rush was too urgent, and the Bailie people really didn't have any, so they rushed Recruiting foreign businessmen..." The diner shrugged, "You understand."

Someone else interjected: "It must be sold, and my uncle is. The grain in two of his warehouses was taken away by Bailie, leaving a few redemption notes, saying that they can be redeemed by the official after three months. But the price, oh, it's cheap. It’s very good, it’s less than 60% of the market price. At the beginning of the year, food was expensive, and the purchase price was more than 60%.”

"There's still a deadline."

"Yes, there is still a time limit. If you don't cash it out within a year, you will lose even this little money."

"Isn't that still requisition?" The previous diner sucked a pickled snail and sighed, "Anyway, the turmoil was very big, and many merchants withdrew, no matter how the Bailie people tried to appease them. Who is willing to go there now? "

"Oh, the relationship between Bailie and Mou Guo is so good?" Qiu Hu took a sip of water, "Mou Guo doesn't ask Qingguo for things, but asks Bailie people for it?"

"Who says Mou Guo doesn't look for Qing Guo? But it doesn't happen every time." Everyone laughed, "If you can't run away, you can't run away."

"Yaguo in the east is always beating Bailie. If it weren't for Mouguo's thigh, Bailie people would not be able to gain a foothold here."

He Lingchuan shook his head secretly.

The territory of Qing State was not much larger than that of Fu State. In his eyes, it was a small country, but Bailie people did not dare to offend it easily.

And Yaguo - a country he had only heard of by name - could also beat Bailie.

What is the difference between the so-called descendants of immortals and mortals now?

The family background will decline, the bloodline will become thin, and only those who have the ability will follow others.

He Lingchuan packed two more meals, then paid and left.

Back at the inn, after washing up, Dong Rui came over rubbing his hands: "What delicious food did you bring back?"

He was full of expectations, but He Lingchuan only pushed him a pack of fried rice and a cage of fried dumplings stuffed with fish. The dishes at Lao Yao Salted Fish Stall are delicious, but the soupy soup is inconvenient to take away.

He was very disappointed with He Lingchuan: "That's it?"

"Why don't you save some money?" He Lingchuan said seriously, "There are more than a dozen pot-bellied men here, plus an aunt who can eat as much as ten people, and all is lost in the blink of an eye."

Dong Rui picked up the chopsticks with a look of disgust and shoveled the rice into his mouth.

Hey, delicious!

"Isn't money a trivial matter?" He chewed rice grains and spoke slurredly, "I'll find a rich businessman and a fat sheep, and kill them with one knife, which will be enough for many days."

As soon as Aunt Zhu came out, she scratched her belly with her front paws and said, "Where can I find enough food?" It was only enough for her to take two sips.

"...I mean the rich businessman's money is enough for us to eat and drink for many days!"

Yes, so many people have been eating and drinking He Lingchuan in the past few months. Fresh food and water during the voyage were the most expensive, but he and his aunt could just drink and have fun, all from He Lingchuan's pocket.

If the person named He doesn't find a way to make money, he will end up in vain sooner or later.

"If you kill someone, you have to change places. No wonder you are a wanted criminal." He Lingchuan grabbed a fried dumpling and put it in his mouth. "We will stay longer this time. If we do a good job, we will not leave again."

He asked Aunt Zhu again: "Where is your sister?"

The twin sisters have a strange and powerful way of communicating with each other. After he and Aunt Zhu made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, Erniang Zhu was able to sneak out of the Demon Nest Swamp to join them immediately. So, Aunt Zhu should also know the whereabouts of her sister now, right?

"A forest canyon." Aunt Zhu said, "It's six hundred miles east of Mou State."

"Where is it from here?"

"It's at least two hundred miles away. Taking into account the terrain, it's even further." Aunt Zhu basically meant the straight-line distance.

"I thought she would stay in Mou State." There are many Taoist sects in Mou State. Wouldn't they welcome a big monster like Zhu Erniang?

"What if Mou State loses the battle, will I sacrifice my sister? For safety reasons, it has not gone to Mou State." Zhu Erniang is the second most wanted person in Beijia. I don't know how many people are looking for her, overtly or covertly, and she doesn't want to go to Mou State. Hao Da Lala appears in the country of Mou. Now Mou Guo and Bejia are fighting each other fiercely, but if they are defeated in the end, they may sacrifice Zhu Erniang to atone for their sins.

And the probability of this "just in case" seems not small. Bega is recognized as the most powerful country today.

The victorious country has the right to demand exorbitant prices.

"As expected of Er Niang, she is far-sighted." He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up, "How is it doing there?"

"General." Aunt Zhu shook her head, "The mountains here are all owned. If my sister wants to establish a foothold, she can't just drive away the original landowners. She also has to go to Mou State to file a lawsuit. You know, it requires a large territory. , and the terrain requirements are also special, so it and the original landowner are very unhappy.”

Cave spiders like to live in an environment with gullies and caves, preferably caves, which are cool and humid, suitable for the growth of fungi and algae.

The problem is that this environment is also liked by other monsters.

Zhu Erniang has a big family to support, and the territory she wants to occupy must be not small.

Just look at how it gets along with other big monsters in the Demon Nest Swamp, and you can tell that its relationship with neighbors in its new home may not be harmonious.

He Lingchuan said happily: "We will be neighbors again. Let's go to her to reminisce when we have time."

Dong Rui was also very happy: "There are several kinds of mushrooms growing on Zhu Erniang's fungal blanket, and the grilled fish is very good!"

Aunt Zhu raised her front paws and wiped her eyes. How can I make this guy understand, no, let these two guys understand that my sister does not welcome them!

In the evening, the members of the team who went out returned one after another.

Everyone sat in the yard to cool off, and they all sighed with comfort.

So spacious, so stretching, so stable.

Then, everyone talked about the news they had heard from outside:

"Since renting out Blade Harbor, the Bailie people have lost two more territories, both of which were occupied by the Ya Kingdom in the east. Have you heard of the Ya Kingdom before?"

Everyone shook their heads. Things in distant foreign lands were never heard of before.

"The Ya Kingdom was established by the Hengding people, bordering the Bailie to the west. Thirty years ago, it was still a tribe on the plains, good at riding and shooting."
