After sending away the Russian player representatives, Ning Yuan was not in a hurry to leave the neutral city, he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes while waiting for Tang Yu's arrival.

After a while, Tang Yu walked into the room, and after opening his eyes and seeing Tang Yu, Ning Yuan immediately welcomed him in.

After sitting down again, Ning Yuan asked eagerly, "Brother Tang, what's going on?" ”

"Brother Ning Yuan, that's right, there is now a chamber of commerce alliance within the Silver Star Empire, I suspect that they were formed by the union of those great guilds, and they are now trying their best to trick the Elf King Cameron into acting as an agent for the foreign trade rights of the Silver Star Empire.

Didn't you promise His Majesty Cameron last time that trade between the two countries would be fully opened?

They are ready to use the trade between the two countries to fight a commercial war with you, completely destroying the economic structure of the Condor Empire, so as to achieve the goal of disintegrating the Condor Empire.

In addition, after seeing the strength of the Condor Empire, they have already suspended their plan to subvert the Silver Star Empire, and the Silver Star Empire will always exist until the Central Plains region is completely stabilized, so Brother Ning Yuan, if you want to enter the Central Plains region, I'm afraid you will have to make other plans. ”

Because the situation was very urgent, Tang Yu didn't care about catching up with Ning Yuan, and directly clarified his intentions, but looking at Ning Yuan's expression, it seemed that he didn't understand.

"Brother Tang, how can you fight the business war? I don't understand. Ning Yuan asked with a puzzled expression.

Sure enough, as Tang Yu expected, Ning Yuan was a martial artist, and he didn't know what a business war was at all.

After summarizing his thoughts, Tang Yu answered for him: "To give the simplest example, in the Condor Empire, a bag of rice is 100 copper coins, and the rice transported by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a bag of 90 copper coins, let me ask, if it were you, who would you buy and sell?" ”

"If the quality is the same, I will definitely buy a bag of ninety copper coins." Ning Yuan replied.

"If you can make a profit of 10 silver coins a year by growing grain on an acre of land, and 15 silver coins a year by planting cotton, and grain can be purchased from the market, what will you choose to plant?" Tang Yu continued to ask.

"Grow cotton." Ning Yuan replied without thinking.

"If most of the land of the Condor Empire is planted with the cash crops that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance wants, then may I ask who is in the hands of the Condor Empire's food resources in the long run?

If they suddenly stop selling food to the Condor Empire, what kind of changes will happen to the food prices of the Condor Empire? When the time comes, in the face of a sudden surge in food prices, will ordinary people riot? ”

Tang Yu pushed forward little by little, and soon introduced to the most critical place.

"This..., Brother Tang, how should I deal with it?"

Thinking of the possible consequences, Ning Yuan was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, he never expected that a commercial invasion would be so terrifying, so he immediately asked Tang Yu for help.

Glancing at Ning Yuan, who was frightened, Tang Yu shook his head and replied, "Brother Ning Yuan, I only know a little bit about business warfare, so if you want to avoid the enemy's commercial invasion, the best way is to prohibit trade. ”

"But I've already promised my cheap old man." Ning Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"Then find a reason to regret it, let me tell you, although the commercial invasion is relatively slow, once the other party grasps the economic lifeline of the Condor Empire, it will be too late.

The example I gave is just the simplest of things, and there are some more complex ones that I don't understand.

Moreover, commercial invasion often carries some ideological values and ideologies, and once your people are brainwashed by these things, I am afraid that there will be huge hidden dangers. ”

Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't want to break the contract, Tang Yu immediately stated to him the more serious consequences that might occur.

Although Ning Yuan still heard it in a fog, he knew that Tang Yu would definitely not lie to him, so he decided to do what Tang Yu said, and he was ready to find a reason to cut off the trade between the two empires.

At the same time, he also secretly decided that when he came back, he must tell Bai Shihai that no matter how cheap the grain is, he must also ensure the annual grain output, but if it is really not possible, he will pay out of his own pocket to subsidize the farmers who grow grain.

"By the way, Brother Tang, you just said that those great guilds don't plan to subvert the Silver Star Empire for the time being?"

After solving the trade problem that he didn't understand, Ning Yuan immediately asked about the issue he was most concerned about.

"That's right, after seeing your strength, they thought that keeping the Silver Star Empire could keep you out of Shanhaiguan forever, so they are all dead now, and it is estimated that they will not make much of a move until the situation in the Central Plains is completely clear."

"Brother Ning Yuan, now the entire Central Plains region is in chaos, so I think you should take this opportunity to step in, even if you can't afford to go south now, you should find a bridgehead for yourself in advance, so as not to have no place to settle in the future."

Tang Yu had a deep affection for the Silver Star Empire, although he was very willing to watch the Silver Star Empire continue to exist, but he knew that since the hands of those great guilds came in, the Silver Star Empire had already embarked on a path of no return, so he could only choose to stand on Ning Yuan's side now.

"I want to too, Brother Tang, but I guess they will attack them immediately when they know that I am intervening."

Ning Yuan shook his head, not quite agreeing with Tang Yu's opinion.

He had long wanted to get involved in the Central Plains, but his family knew his own affairs, and he knew how much he was hated, if he knew that he was coming, I was afraid that someone would immediately unite against him, so he never dared to take action.

"Yes, you are indeed more hated."

Seeing Ning Yuan's dejected appearance, Tang Yu suddenly remembered how hated the person in front of him was in the Huaxia District, if he came over, he would indeed be easily besieged by other forces.

"Eh, Brother Ning Yuan, what if others don't know that it's your power? You can find a spokesperson from those small forces, so that no one else will find out. ”

Tang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a good way.

"Where is it so easy, Brother Tang, you don't know, those big power spies are everywhere, and I am the only player in my force, it is difficult for us to hide from their eyes."

The problem of player spies has always bothered Ning Yuan, he himself has a sharp eye, but the aborigines under his command do not.

In the past, when the Iron and Blood Banner Gate was not betrayed, he could still ask the soldiers of the Great Banner to help him distinguish between the player and the natives, but now he has no way at all.

"Brother Ning Yuan, what do you think this is?"

Seeing that Ning Yuan was worried about the player's spy, Tang Yu immediately smiled and took out a mirror from the space backpack, and then handed it to Ning Yuan.

Zhenguo Mirror: Special item, diamond level, with active skills Zhenguo and passive skills Zhaodemon, only effective for players.

Zhenguo - After starting the Zhenguo mode, it can be set to be exclusive to a certain country, and players whose names are recorded by Zhenguo Mirror will be regarded as their own by Zhenguo Mirror, and the demon function cannot be effective for them, and information can be shared between Zhenguo Mirrors of the same country.

Shine on the Demon - Passive skill, non-national players within 10 km of the holder of the Zhenguo Mirror will have a red skull pattern on their foreheads.

Taking the mirror from Tang Yu's hand, Ning Yuan was immediately overjoyed, and he asked eagerly, "Brother Tang, where did you get this mirror, and how much do you still have in your hand?" ”

Although he had never seen this kind of mirror, from the first glance of its attributes, Ning Yuan knew that this Zhenguo Mirror was specially tailored for player lords like them, and after having the Zhenguo Mirror, they no longer had to worry about players being spies in their army.

(Well, I'll admit, that's what I just came up with.) ）

"How many more, do you think this mirror is a cabbage, this is what I captured from other player lords during my previous wars, there are only two in total, forget it, give it all to you, who told me to accidentally get on your thief ship."

Seeing Ning Yuan's excited appearance, Tang Yu gave him a roll of his eyes, and then took out a Zhenguo mirror and handed it to Ning Yuan.

After entering Tang Yu's information into the Zhenguo Mirror, Ning Yuan laughed and said: "Brother Tang, you are really my nobleman, as soon as I doze off, you will send me a pillow, after having this mirror, I will have no worries, hahahahaha." ”

"Then why don't you hurry up and say it?"

Seeing that Ning Yuan was just sitting there and smirking, Tang Yu suddenly became angry, this guy was really too eyeless.

"Brother Tang, what do you want, just open your mouth, let's say it first, I only like women, and I don't have any interest in men, so don't beat my idea."

In a good mood, Ning Yuan happily joked with Tang Yu.

"Get out, Lao Tzu is not interested in men, give me one each of the Colorful Peach and the Five Elements Holy Fruit, how about it, it won't make you feel distressed, right?" Tang Yu joked.

"I'm scared to death, what good things do I still want from you, it turns out to be a few broken fruits, give it to you, take it, it's hard to make."

Ning Yuan pretended to pat his chest, pretending to be relieved, and then directly took out two fruits and handed them to Tang Yu.

"Broken fruit? Then you can give me a few more of these broken fruits. ”

"Dead, gone."
