2195 Chapter 2161 Opportunity

In the past, there were basically no incidents involving the inland waterway vessels of Cao’s Commercial Bank. The surrounding communities

Nothing with the gang is a fool. They can't help but know that Cao's firm is great. If they go to Cao's firm,

It is estimated that their own ancestral graves have to be dug out, but as time goes by, their business is also declining.

This is where people who take risks are starting to do things. Each of these people feels that the defensive power of Cao’s commercial ships is actually

The quantity is not very strong. In fact, from this time, Li also made an empty plan. Most of the goods carried on the merchant ships were goods.

How can there be more people? The speed has increased, but if people wait for you if they wait for you, things will definitely

It’s not as simple as you think, so recently, especially when fighting against the Southern Empire, they didn’t care

Things like going to the inland waterway shipping have caused the Cao’s family members to lose a lot, but some valuables and other things.

Nothing. After all, it can be said to be very armed, but a lot of food has been looted.

Yes, take the inland shipping on the Meng River in the Eastern Empire, 115 times in a month, about 1,200 ships

Thousands of tons of grain on the ship were robbed, and the money lost was not much. This Li would never see it, but

The problem is that when many people see that Cao's commercial firm's defensive force is not very strong, they will have some other thoughts.this

What I am after is your grain merchant ship. This is nothing. If you want to rob, you can do it.

That’s not it, but it’s just some other things. Such things surprised many people.

Especially some senior members of the Cao's House of Business, they feel that if they are robbed, the loss is definitely not a small number.

Therefore, the largest naval expansion of Cao’s house this time is for inland waterways, although some rivers are similar to the sea.

of.Such large rivers are basically escorted by navy ships.Because they don’t need to be remodeled anymore.

The river is very wide. The navy’s large tonnage ships basically don’t need to say anything when they come in. Those who want to do it along the way will watch.

Seeing this also knows how they choose.Moreover, the navy of Cao's House of Commercial also told the officials along the way.If we

If you are robbed.You must arrest us within a week. If you don’t have the ability, it means you

This place has been mastered by bandits, we can come to rescue you.Because of this problem, people everywhere will not

The local officials have all passed on the boats of Cao’s Commercial Bank to land. If anyone dares to do anything to the ships of Cao’s Commercial

If you don’t give face to the court, as long as you don’t give face to the court, the court will definitely not give you face, what

Severe strikes and other things will definitely move up towards you. There is no possibility for you to run, you can only passively be beaten.

This is something that can be determined, and for this reason, it has made Cao’s commercial firm’s vessels much less troublesome.

However, this is not a long-term solution. It is necessary to fundamentally prevent such things from happening, that is, to expand inland river ships.

The team, this time I chose a small gunboat for the inland river fleet, because the ammunition and people carried are relatively small.

So their speed is very flexible. In fact, they have to deal with the pirates in this world. The speedboat is

The best way, but if that thing appears here, it seems a bit too advanced, even Li Cong

I felt that something was uncomfortable, so this type of river A-type escort boat came out.

The escort boat with a displacement of only 300 tons can be regarded as a relatively large ship in the eyes of the people outside.

They also felt very shocked when driving west, but for the navy of Cao’s house, this was absolutely nothing.

Right kid, Li Cong directly swipes his pen to expand this to more than 10 million ships. This number is for the Cao family.

The firm’s fleet is not too large. Li Cong requires ten cargo ships to average one escort boat.

Only in this way can they all feel the threat of Cao’s house, so that they dare not do it. Such a escort boat

It is 60 meters long and 24 meters wide. It is equipped with 16 artillery on each side, two on the bow and two on the stern, and each cannon has 110 rounds of ammunition.

Because of the relatively small tonnage of the ship, the ammunition capacity is already very large. In addition to the 119 crew, there are 50

A member of the Marine Corps, it can be said that there is no room on this ship, but this is also the case in this era.

If you have a design skill, if you need to maintain firepower, then there will be more people on it, and some places will not get in.

There are also two small boats with a length of 5 meters on board, each with a super serial crossbow, which is also the result of Li Cong’s transformation

He thinks that these pirates of this era have to kill them all. If you show them hope, then

After that, there will be no hope for your goods. These people are not fuel-efficient lamps. They have been robbed all their lives.

Of course they want all of you, so you can’t give them all of you, so that you can get them one by one

I was scared, otherwise I would suffer a loss, these people would never thank you.

Another very important function of the river escort is their ground attack capability. If they are allowed to support the ground attack

As long as they adjust the position of one of their artillery, it’s more than thirty.

The bow and stern of the artillery, as well as the artillery on both sides, are 127mm large-caliber heavy guns.

People.Artillery of this caliber is no longer something they can resist, so they want to attack Cao’s

It’s still difficult for people to do something. On the deck, there are ten super serial crossbows on both sides, the bow and the ship

There are also two tails. This kind of thing is very useful for these pirates now. These pirates now

They will never sink the ship casually, because all they need is the things on it, if the ship goes straight down

If they do, they will have no benefit at all, and they will definitely not do such a thing.They all want to chase

Come up.Then board the ship to control some of the people on it. Many merchant ships of Cao’s House were caught by them for this reason.

Those who were robbed, each of these people are still very capable, and some rely on their own diving skills.Some are self

I have jumped this city.Anyway, it is the Eight Immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers.As long as you can board the opponent’s ship, this is your own victory

It's profitable, of course.They were not without failure. After they encountered these ships of Cao’s House of

Just the teacher, those super serial crossbows can kill them all before they think clearly. This

Some people finally realized that Cao’s firm is powerful, and they won’t be fooling around. After all, the current situation is not for them

When Hu came here, but Li Cong just frightened them and didn't kill them all.

Less than two hours after Li Cong and Wu Zuoxi left, Ersha and their rebels were killed by the Southern Empire army.

It can be said that they do not even have the ability to resist. The regular army of the Southern Empire, which has more than 4 million, has already provided these people.

Enclosed, if their fighting power is in the face of the southern empire’s local army, it’s not too bad, but they must

When faced with the elite troops of the Southern Empire coming down from the battlefield, their abilities did not look very good.

All feel that they are powerless, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, the most important thing is their military

The heart is gone, their boss's second silly mind has not been sober, basically starting from the army of the Southern Empire

Up to now, I haven’t issued a very useful command, it’s just in a confused state.

It’s absolutely impossible to go out. His military cousin died in the first round of arrow rain. This

Jianyu is really not of any use compared to the serial crossbow produced by Cao’s Commercial Bank, but now it’s against them.

Still more than enough, mainly because these people of them are very powerful, their numbers are very large, and the numbers formed

The quantity advantage is also very powerful. Sometimes when something like this happens, they think they are dreaming, but when

They understand when they feel their body hurts very much. What they are all facing now is the real thing.

It’s not what happened in their dreams. They all knew that their so-called insurgents were all over.

There is no room for reversal. Although they still have a lot of troops in their occupied area, they all know that,

The powerful people have already got here, and the remaining people are simply unable to block the attack of the Nandi ** team.

When Er Sha was caught, this man had already lost consciousness. It looked like this guy was a brain on the street.

The people in the Southern Empire didn’t embarrass him much, so they directly handed him over to the people in Cao’s business, Li Congneng.

What I did is to keep this guy. As for the others, I’m sorry. In fact, Li Cong is also a bit of a woman.

According to Wu Zuoxi’s statement, such a person should be killed directly, leaving such a person behind for them

It's a terrible thing. What if this guy has a huge hatred in his heart?Absolutely impossible

This man has a deep feeling for his brothers. He saw that his brothers were dead.

Inwardly, it was definitely a huge blow. The thing he most wanted to do was definitely to avenge his brother.

Although his brothers didn’t die directly under Cao’s family business, there was a big reason.

Is the main reason.The people from Cao’s house betrayed them. Don’t look at him stupid now, but when this person understands

When he comes over, he will understand what the people of Cao’s house have done to him and his brothers.

If you wake up, Li Cong will be even more troublesome at that time. Of course, Li Cong has gone through a lot of investigations and he doesn’t know this.

This guy is actually a saber. The missing saber hasn’t been investigated until now.

There is a brainy case.I won't mention that now.Ersha was taken to another seal by the Cao's firm

The closed space, I hope it can do something for this guy, that is, the most cutting-edge psychological education, if so

if possible.Everything is fine.If it doesn't work.That can only be that way, this is what Wu Zuoxi said

Yes, once you find something is wrong with this guy.It is absolutely not allowed to keep, you must immediately put this home

It’s okay to kill the guy, otherwise the people from the Cao’s house will be the one who will lose.

The people of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire also felt very much about the series of things carried out between the Cao’s House of Business and the Southern Empire.

Disgusting, why do you have full food there, we don’t mean to eat like that, you all cook one by one

Whatever, we just want to follow you to have a sip of soup. The Southern Empire was richer than the two empires before.

There are many, mainly because there are more businessmen in the Southern Empire. As the economy develops, there will naturally be more wealthy people. These two

The Great Empire actually didn’t want to get much territory from the Southern Empire, because they knew they didn’t have the Cao’s business.

Such financial resources can not afford the so-called subsistence allowance system. Without such a system, the old people in the occupied areas

Surnames would not cooperate with them. Those people were ruled by the people of the Southern Empire for a long time.

Only the Southern Empire does not work with other empires, that is, because of such things, they think

Just get some silver from the Southern Empire. Who knows that even such a small thing is impossible. This Southern Empire

It’s impossible for the people to give them any money. I didn’t see that Cao’s army had already reached the border area between the two countries.

Oh, what kind of observer status are you talking about? Every one of my mothers came with weapons, and all these people

There are not many armies between the southern empire and the other two empires, but the deterrent force is there, and

The coastal areas of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire have been in a hurry for several times, and the warships of the Cao’s House are about to arrive at every turn.

For exercises or something, the bombardment was fired for a while, and such bombing made them all feel terrible.

The Southern Empire government is not a fool, knowing that at this time, they will definitely not be the alliance between the Northern Empire and the Western Empire.

If they all unite, the Southern Empire will definitely suffer a big loss, and then they don’t know where to cry.

Yes, these people are very cunning people, and their officials immediately changed their relationship with Cao’s firm.

At that time, people on all continents are dumbfounded, when the enemy can be so friendly, they can become

Good friends, but didn’t they still fight very well half a month ago? They would eat each other one by one.

The same, how could it be so good now, the people of Cao’s family firm would dispatch so many airships to the Southern Empire, and

One terrible thing is that they were surprised by the transportation capacity of Cao’s house.

The Holy Light City was transported to the northern border area of ​​the Southern Empire. What kind of speed is this, for something like an airship

They can’t do anything about it. People on the entire continent have thought that if something like an airship landed on them

What the hell should this be done in the case of Beijing?Hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly appeared around me, my own day

How should I live?Because of the city of Holy Light, they all began to set up a lot of iron at the junction of the inland river and the sea.

Lock, I hope this kind of thing can be used to block the warship of Cao’s house. In many cases, this kind of thing is just one

Psychological comfort, is there any use in the end?Presumably, they knew it by themselves. Such a big rock is for their boat

It’s just useful, but if the Cao’s cannon fires, something like that is useless at all.

Yes, you can kill that directly, but they have no other way. This is the only thing they came up with

This is not necessarily useful, but many people can fall asleep at night.

At exactly this time, Li Cong didn’t even think about continuing to expand. He was also concerned about their series of actions at the mouth of the sea.

There is nothing else.The reaction of Cao's firm was something they hadn't thought of.But in Cao’s house

There are many boats on the river as long as they run, and each of them has some other ideas. In the end, the people from Cao’s house

One rule is fixed, and that is to allow the inland river escort boats of Cao's house to enter.But all ships must

Registered.All the weapons above need to be registered.Li Cong also agreed, but there are actually these boats

Just going in is already great, let's talk about it.As long as you want to do it, you can use the airship to take some big mouth

You can block the roads on the sea, but you don’t have that ability in the sky, you

Want to fight?That’s okay, even though I just ended a war here, I still have the strength to continue with you.

I just don’t know if you have the ability, or if you have the courage, let alone these

The empire really didn’t have such courage. For them, such things made them all feel scared, yes,

It’s just fear. For them, Cao’s house is now something they cannot provoke.

Their suppression is also very terrible. They are afraid that they are the same as the Southern Empire, it is nothing to lose a bit of territory.

Yes, the important thing is that the people from Cao’s house have extended their hands here. This is a bad thing.

It’s impossible to exchange for peace in these territories. The people of Cao’s house were uncomfortable that day, and they might start a war.

The defeated Southern Empire simply had no such ability to resist, and there were a series of such laws and such things.

Yes, it will eventually weaken the Southern Empire slowly, and they are all worried that they will become the next Southern Empire.

In addition to the people from the four major empires, people from the four major sects have also begun to contact the people from the Cao’s House of Business.

The contact is completely different. Daozong has been a member of the Cao’s house for a long time, and the young master is now

I have completely mastered Taoism. Although there are still some unstable factors inside, there are bigger ones.

The thing for them to face is that the people of Cao’s House of Business helped Dao Zong become the fastest rising sect among the four major sects.

Suddenly, there were a lot of resources inside Daozong, and some pills and other medicines were thrown down like no money.

Many of Zong’s disciples are only fast, which is absolutely the envy of the other three sects. According to the current development

Speed, Dao Sect must be the same as them within a hundred years, and it will return to the previous level. You know, Dao Sect is because

When their suzerain is dead, it is very likely that they will change from a first-level power to a second-level power. Who knew they could be so short?

After recovering in the time, everyone knows that this is the cause of Cao’s firm. They are not stupid, they are so good.

A friend of, if you don’t hurry over, it’s a problem with your own brain, and neither is the Cao’s

It will exist anytime, and their opportunities are not so easy to grasp. Each denomination sends its own important

When the character goes to Li to show his loyalty, he tells what he can do. For example, some people from Cao’s house are not convenient to shoot.

They can take action to get this thing down. If the people from the Cao’s House of Business were willing to do it in the past

This matter, but I'm sorry now, we need to pick and choose, and you must be the people we need.

The contract between Cao’s House of Commercial Bank and the Southern Empire has not been disclosed, and all major players have tried their best to know this contract.

What is the content of the content, but in the end they got a broken message.It must be fake news

But some rumors are flying all over the sky. As the saying goes, rumors stop at wise men. These people can fool Lao Bai.

The last name is just that. For other things, it is simply impossible. Many people will not believe in such things.

For them, these things should be said honestly, but they forgot.If they want

Do some secret things.I guess they don’t want such things to be known, since it’s yourself

If you don’t want your secrets to be known by others, why did the people at Cao’s House of Business and the Southern Empire let you know?

What?Anyway, what they can know is that the Southern Empire should be very satisfied with this contract this time.Because they are not violent

angry.Nor did he say any revenge against Cao's business.Maybe the people in the Southern Empire can see clearly that their real enemy is not

The people of Cao’s house are the other three empires.Especially the Western Empire and the Northern Empire took advantage of the fire, if it weren’t for Cao

If the people from the home business helped them, they might lose more territory now. The people from the Western Empire and the Northern Empire

I was wronged at the time, damn it, this is really not a good thing, but in the end, it’s

The inside and out of you guys are not humans. They are depressed one by one to die for such things, but there is no way, Nan

The people of the empire hate them to death anyway, no matter if you get the benefits or not, anyway, I just think you have gotten them.

It's good, and you want to do that too. This is not a very good thing.

The chaos on the mainland must continue. It took the Southern Empire about a month to bring the peasant rebels

After a series of calculations, the overall national strength of the Southern Empire dropped by at least about three.

One-third of the power of such an empire was reduced by one-third. No one would believe it before, but

This is a fact now. The Southern Empire basically doesn’t do anything big now. The royal family of the Southern Empire is already

Started to be frugal. The emperor of the Southern Empire had already committed a crime to himself and wanted to reduce his annual activity expenditure of 8 billion taels of silver.

Reduce to 4 billion taels of silver, eat two dishes for each meal, and save money to rebuild the Royal Guard Cavalry Corps, the emperor of the Southern Empire

The imperial capital did that. Everyone from top to bottom has an attitude, no matter what they usually do.

How do you live? Everyone said that they would reduce their food and clothing costs by one-half. As for the common people

There is no such idea. Damn, it may not be enough to eat if it is not reduced. The empire is not too big for us.

We don’t want to go with the empire. When you were great, you didn’t care about our stomachs. At this time

When we are not stupid and donate our money to you, such a thing is immature, I

We just live our lives as teachers. If you can’t get used to it, there’s nothing we can do about it.

So low, top-down frugality also allowed the Southern Empire to save hundreds of billions of dollars a year, but open source

Throttling is very important. If you want to solve the problem once and for all, increasing income is the most important thing, no matter how you throttle it

Doing is saving. This money cannot be made out of thin air. No matter how you save, if you have no money, everything will be

It's nonsense, but the current Southern Empire really can't find how to make money.

The Cao’s House of Commercial Bank gave a lot of money to the Southern Empire, but they were all borrowed, and these contracts can be announced.

Yes, these loans are like vampires, directly controlling the economic lifeline of the Southern Empire, although the Southern Empire

Some businessmen and people of insight in China don’t want to look like this, because if this development continues, the people in Cao’s business will

It is easy to control their economic lifeline, although no one in this society has said that the economic foundation determines the superstructure

Yes, but everyone understands this truth. It’s just that the words spoken are somewhat different. Many people in the Southern Empire

Everyone understands this truth, but now that after the war, everything is waiting to be done, and everything needs to be carried out.All these things are inseparable from the silver, if there is no silver, all things cannot be done

This Southern Empire’s lack of silver has reached a very powerful level. Take those who died in the war as an example.

The blood stipend is a huge number. The Southern Empire died or injured more than 300 million people due to various reasons, even if it was 22 taels per person.

The amount of money for blood care is not a small amount. The Treasury of the Southern Empire cannot even get this money. The other three emperors

People in China say that the people of the Southern Empire have no backbone.Said they don't even know what to say.But the people in the Southern Empire also said that I

We can't eat the fucking food anymore, can we manage so much?All of you don’t have back pain while standing and talking

Good thing, if you also have a war like this with the Cao's firm.See how you all speak.If you too

Same words as us.We also want to see your abilities, if you don’t have such abilities, hurry up

Shut his mouth.Shame on the province's nonsense.

After a series of incidents in the Southern Empire, the reputation of Cao’s House of Business has gone out. Now many people absolutely dare to mess with the people of the four empires, but for the people of Cao’s House of Business, they really don’t have the guts. In terms of the Cao’s business, the people in Cao’s house are heaven. If they really have that idea, it is estimated that the people around them will also hold this guy down. If you don’t die at this time, don’t hurt your brothers. Taking advantage of this opportunity, since everyone in the world is afraid of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu simply overdos it. In the past, the grain store and trading house of the Cao’s house only covered 75% of the entire mainland. It's 90%, and the investment involved is as high as trillions of silver, but Li Cong has never been short of money, and the money is going on, and the effect is very good. Some large forces in the empire are also very shameful for the expansion of Cao's House of Business. In their opinion, the people of Cao's House of Business can be considered to be able to prosper their own economy when they are in their own area. They do this. Yes, but what they worry about is that with the economic invasion of Cao’s house, this place may not be the one to say in the future. In the past, they must have resolutely resisted, but now it seems that they don’t have that. Courageous, the people of Cao's Commercial Bank are not even afraid of the people of the Southern Empire. Are they afraid of us?If it doesn’t work, it’s probably going to get burned. Forget it, don’t worry about these things. It’s because they all think so, so the expansion of Cao’s business in the past six months is something that Li Cong himself does not believe. How could such a thing happen?How did this come about.

Wu Zuoxi originally thought that this expansion of Cao’s Commercial Bank would take at least two years to end, but now it takes half a year. They thought of a sentence, that is, the more powerful a person is, the more powerful he will be. On the contrary, if an individual is very weak, it is very difficult for him to become strong. Basically, it may be unsuccessful. Cao’s house is now the number one commercial snobbery on the entire road. They have a lot of monopoly. Business, but they are still not satisfied. For half of the industries to 75%, 75% to 90%, and those that account for 90% directly I want it all. Although it’s a bit overbearing, how about taking advantage of this time to develop myself, and when I don’t have this advantage in front of me, I won’t have any place to cry. With the growth of economic strength, the Cao family The expansion plan of the firm’s 2 billion army has also been completed. The 20,000 reorganized divisions have already started their recruit training. The people in the four empires thought that the Cao’s firm was trained by local troops. It is a field army. You must know that there is still a big gap between the local army and the field army. In half a year, 20,000 reorganization divisions were created. The ability of this Cao family firm is really impressive. Several of his training camps and The people of the Ouyang family realized at this time that a large number of officers are forces of level three or higher. They can make the army more stable in the army. Everyone knows this. The four empires originally belonged to them. Everyone thinks that the expansion of the Cao's family business must be relatively hurried, and there is not much combat effectiveness, but now it seems that it should not be that way. The people of the Cao's family of business do not take this road.

The 20,000 reorganizers said that Li Cong felt very scared by himself, but then there was a more serious thing, that is, the people on the 10 million escort boats, each of which counts as the Marine Corps 50. Each escort needs nearly 150 people. This is another 1.5 billion army. Although many people are named sailors, everyone knows that the sailors of Cao’s house are better than serious soldiers. Yes, their training will not slack at all. How could these people be civilian personnel? They are all military personnel, but now you stand up and blame others?That's not that courageous. Now the Cao's business is strong and strong, and they have all spoken out. As long as anyone dares to stab themselves, they will definitely make them look good. Everyone talks to this level. If you don’t know what is good or bad, then your life will be gone. These people will definitely kill their own lives. Let’s just leave it alone. These Marines are very easy to do. , But these people on the boat are not easy to handle. Everyone knows that running a boat is a hard job. They don’t want to do this kind of work, and it won’t take too long to do it, because this kind of thing is for anyone. It’s not that easy to say. Leaving his home, parents, pawns and children are the most important things in their lives, but because the various tasks of Cao’s house can only be on the boat, Li Cong decided to double shift them. The system means that you have to spend at least four months in the garrison each year, and the other eight months to go out to perform tasks. This is something that has never been done before, and the soldiers are happy one by one. Done.

People outside are all lamenting that the economic strength of Cao’s firm is too strong. Even if it is a group of 1.5 billion sailors, they may be overwhelmed. You must know that these people may eat and drink on the ship. Invisible, it will increase a lot of costs, and there will be some other problems on the ship, so there is an additional expenditure in medicine, which is why the navies of the four empires do not have so many people. , These people know that the navy eats too much money, so they don’t get too many people to come. As long as there are shopkeepers supporting them, they don’t need to think about other things. That's it. Anyway, it will come anyway, and it will be useless to calculate before the time. So they have all been punished. The people from Cao's Commercial Bank directly gave them a good course and let them learn one by one. I understand that some things are not as simple as you think, and you all understand that Wu Zuoxi can be said to be the chief butler of Cao’s firm. If he used to say that Li Cong was spending money randomly, they both Personally, there are no few quarrels about this kind of thing, but this time Wu Zuoxi said nothing. People outside are studying what is going on. After a few months, all the people in Cao’s house have been certified. They also understand what's going on. Damn, it’s two shifts now. If the Cao’s commercial firm has a large number of ships after training for a year, it’s estimated that there will be twice as many navy ships. The people at Cao’s House of Business really calculated it too well. They just spent half of the money but got two navies. I really don’t know how Li Cong calculated it.

Because of Cao’s large number of shipbuilding companies, the shipyards of the four major empires have also received orders from the Cao’s family of companies. The secret service agencies of the four major empires have also begun to study the warships of the Cao’s family of companies, but they are a little depressed. However, there is no ship on this ship. What's different, it can be said that it is an empty shelf. The people at Cao's Commercial Bank installed the rest of the matter. They have also obtained a lot of the big iron gada, but that thing is just to make it. It’s not good, and the thing will explode after being known by the Cao’s house firm. They don’t know what to do with such a thing. How did the Cao’s house firm get such a thing? With the sound, they can make their boat run so fast. They also want to do such a thing, but they don't have the opportunity.
