Lin Huo and his grandparents had made an appointment early in the morning to see them. His grandparents' love for Lin Huo Huo came from the bottom of their hearts. They were supposed to accept some kind of interview. He directly rejected them and stayed at home to wait for his granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and great-granddaughter to arrive. They prepared a big table of good dishes.
The two elderly people were old and could not eat much. The food they ate was prepared by a professional nutritionist and was mainly light.
Before leaving, Dongfang Qingyu was still very nervous, worried that the old general would not take a liking to him. He was worried that the old general would not be able to speak. He was worried... But the moment they met... All the burdens in his heart were lifted, the old general wasn't tall, he was full of smiles, as pure as an old grandpa next door, with a kind face. There was not the slightest hint of lethality or sharpness from his body. There was no sign of the mighty general.
Grandma was very warm and liked Jian Jia very much. Strangely, Jian Jia did not reject the two elders. When she was hugged by the two elders, she smiled happily and happily.
She originally planned to leave after watching for a while, but the two elders did not allow her to leave and insisted on staying for lunch. Dongfang Qingyu and Lin Huo could not win, so they could only stay.
In the morning, Dongfang Qingyu's phone kept blinking. Dongfang Qingyu set it to silent mode and ignored it after just one look.
In the afternoon, Dongfang Qingyu had just come out of the old general's courtyard. He was stopped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were not looking for trouble. They wanted to get to know the leaders of the mining department. Dongfang Qingyu didn't want to talk to him, but Lin Huo meant that there was no harm in befriending him. Dongfang Qingyu and his family could only give up their afternoon nap time and follow the car to a tea house. After chatting for more than an hour, they exchanged contact information. The family of three declined the invitation to dinner and went home.
It was almost five o'clock when they got home, so they went to prepare dinner.
Something big happened in the game, and the western warships were crazy. They suddenly launched a fierce attack, and within a day, they conquered four ports in a row. The four shipyards and the ports of Qing Sha City had all fallen. Now, there were only two ports left. One was the port of 'Star Shipping Industry'. Because the location was slightly remote and the scale was relatively small, perhaps because of this reason... The western powerhouses were not interested in it.
There was another port that was built by Green Wood. Because it was close to the exit of the Prayer River and was still in the middle of construction, it was not suitable for docking for the time being. It was probably because of this that it survived.
The western powers occupied one of the ports and destroyed all the other ports. Then, they sent people to contact the various powers of the empire to make a deal.
They made a list of the items they traded and the price. The moment they saw the price, many merchants broke out in sweat.
Arrows, the most commonly used harpoon arrows. The price of the empire was 50 copper coin per arrow, and the western side's price was 38 copper coin per arrow!
Shield, Gold Ware low-grade, Defense: 10,000. The price of the Empire was 5 gold, while the western side's price was 4.2 gold.
Leather armor, war boots, sabers, swords and Magic Scroll... and so on, the Western Lie Qiang's price was generally 10% -20% cheaper than the Empire's price, and the extra 30% cheaper.
Facing this kind of price, the Empire's items did not have the slightest advantage.
To be able to suppress the prices of items was a good thing for players. Of course, this was on the surface, but the economy of a country did not count like this.
When the price of equipment came down, the unlucky ones would be merchants, blacksmiths, miners, transport teams and a series of other professions. These players would all lose their jobs.
The number of players in these professions accounted for about 5% of the total number of players. The unemployed players could only look for other ways. In order to make up for the disadvantages of their jobs, they could only lower the price. This way, it would impact some of the normal industries. The Empire's economy was a whole, a change in industry. It would inevitably affect other industries, and the consequences would be hard to predict.
If the goods from the western countries were to enter, it would inevitably affect the entire manufacturing industry of the empire. This would cause the Empire's blacksmiths, tailors, alchemist, alchemists and other occupations to lose their jobs. At that time... At that time, the economy of the empire would collapse, and countless players would lose their jobs. A large amount of wealth would be plundered by the Western countries...
After dinner, Dongfang Qingyu went online. The empire was in chaos. Some players advocated to do business with the Western countries. If there were cheaper goods, they would not trade. Did they need more expensive goods?
These players did not have the resources. They were poor, so they naturally depended on the cheaper ones. As for the people's righteousness, hehe, they were about to starve to death. What was the meaning of the people's righteousness?
Another portion of the players strongly requested that trading with the Western powerhouses be prohibited. They exaggerated the consequences of trading. However, their numbers were relatively small, only taking up about 10% of the total number of players. It sounded like there were very few of them. They controlled a large amount of resources such as ores, fur, wood, craftsmen and so on. The previous 28th Law had become the 19th Law, and more and more poor people had become poor. Wealth became more and more concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy people.
The contradiction between the poor and the rich became unprecedentedly sharp because of a list of items from the western countries.
"I'm still the smartest. I didn't do any equipment or medicinal herbs business." Dongfang Qingyu was very glad.
"You will not have the chance to enter." Lin Qing'er said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at her.
"Nothing!" Lin Qian'er quickly changed the topic, "The western powers are still buying food."
"Food? Where did they get food?" Dongfang Qingyu was curious. When it came to farming, the empire was the big boss. The people in the west could only be counted as little brothers. He could not even eat his fill, so how could he have extra food?
"Fish meat!" Lin Qian'er spat out two words.
Dongfang Qingyu's face stiffened and he suddenly woke up. That's right, Eastern Sea. Fish meat was inexhaustible. His thoughts spun in circles on the soil. Having ignored this point, his face turned ugly. He asked, "How's the price of the Western Lie Qiang?" In his opinion, the cost of fishing was definitely above the cost of planting. It shouldn't be too cheap.
"It's about 25% cheaper than us." Lin Qian'er said.
"That much? How did they do it?" Dongfang Qingyu lost his voice.
"I don't know!" Lin Qian'er spread out her hands. Regarding this question, not only Dongfang Qingyu, but everyone who didn't understand the answer couldn't find the answer.
"Where's Liu Chuanfeng? Where is Taishan Fengshan, Death Scythe, and the others? What's the commotion?" Dongfang Qingyu asked. All major powers had their own resources. This was the only way to support the daily operations of the gangs. It was the same as snatching their food. They were the ones who suffered the greatest loss. For ordinary players, there seemed to be no losses on the surface. There were also benefits. They could buy good and cheap items.
"After launching a few attacks, they were all knocked back. The cannons from the West are too powerful." Lin Qian'er said.
"I don't think there are any cannons on the list." Dongfang Qingyu suddenly said.
"No!" Lin Qian'er had already read the list several times, and she could almost memorize it.
"What wild ambitions!" Dongfang Qingyu threw down the list. He was very clear about the intentions of the western powerhouses. Using good and cheap items to destroy the economy of the empire, it was impossible to sell a powerful offensive weapon like a cannon. With a simple move, the internal structure of the empire became hostile. It seemed that before the Western powerhouses attacked, they had done a detailed investigation of the Empire.
"What should we do?" Lin Qian'er asked.
"What about those experts? Experts who possess Forbidden Spells and Forbidden Spells?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"A few of them went, but they were also beaten back. " The forbidden spells were lost, but they didn't work. The western experts had mastered a powerful defensive formation. Some speculated that... Unless multiple forbidden spells are released at the same time, it's probably useless. " Lin Qian'er said.
"If that's the case, then it'll be a bit troublesome." Dongfang Qingyu felt a headache coming on. Everything needed time. He had to wait for the stones and cannonballs, but the Western experts were so fast. He looked at Lin Qian'er and asked, "Is someone looking for me to use the Ultimate Forbidden Spell?"
"Mm!" Lin Qian'er nodded vigorously.
"During this period of time, my phone is not switched on. If I were to look for you, tell them that my skill is still on cooldown, so that they don't want to go early." Dongfang Qingyu said.
“ Yes, yes!" Lin Qian'er naturally didn't want Dongfang Qingyu to waste his precious' Super Forbidden Spell ', even though there were fish on the list of the strong western countries. It also had a big impact on the treasure mystic realm, but the amount of fish was very little. It didn't have much of an impact on the secret treasure realm. There was still one more thing... Dongfang Qingyu's company's profits would soon be transferred to Greenwood Manufacturing. The list of Western powerhouses wouldn't do any harm to Greenwood Manufacturing. On the contrary, it would also promote the development of Green Wood Manufacturing. This was a good thing.
Overall, the list of the western powerhouses was beneficial to Dongfang Qingyu. Maintaining the current situation was in line with Dongfang Qingyu's interests.
"What about the General's Estate and the Forbidden City? What kind of reaction is it?" Dongfang Qingyu asked again.
" It's very strange, there's no reaction from the 'General's Estate', and the 'Forbidden City' is also very quiet. " Lin Qian'er said.
"There must be a problem with the Emperor again." Dongfang Qingyu felt a headache coming on. The Emperor had gone berserk while concocting pills, and it wasn't easy for him to be cured. He went to concoct pills again, and concocting pills was just a small matter. At most, he would waste some of the ingredients. The key was not to eat, he had eaten too much. It would be strange if there were no problems. Every time there was a problem, 'Forbidden City' would have to die. Rebuilding Black Tortoise City was such a big matter, but it could actually drag on for so long.
The empire was really unlucky to have such an emperor.
"Didn't you say it was because of women?" Lin Qian'er was curious. According to the folklore, the emperor overindulged himself in sex, which was why he had the Weakness, and he often got sick.
"In the royal family, there are countless different kinds of mystical arts and techniques. Do you think there are no techniques that can strengthen one's foundation and strengthen one's spirit? Furthermore, what level is the Emperor? Will he be emptied by women? The folklore is all fabricated and sensationalized. It is not trustworthy. " Dongfang Qingyu did not want to discuss such a topic with Lin Qian'er, so he gave her a few words of advice. He spread his wings and left, continuing to beat the scarecrow.
