Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Old Man Ma also cursed.    

He was so angry. With tears in his eyes.    

Because he knew that there was nothing he could do.    

At the same time, he felt wronged.    

That money... wasn't easy to get!    

That was the money he got by throwing the real face of Molan Country onto the ground, trampling on the ground a few times, and crushing it into mush!    

Tens of thousands of girls went to different countries to sell themselves in exchange for money, just for the people of their countries to eat.    

Couldn't they even do that? !    

"Are those beasts heartless?!"    

He shouted at the top of his lungs.    

Hong Xiluo, who was standing beside him, felt a little awkward.    

After all, although this matter had not been concluded yet, if what the people of Molan Country said was true, then... their own army also had this bad name.    

Old Man Ma turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun.    

It was obvious that he could not take this turn. His heart had already been filled with hatred.    

He hoped to get an answer from Xiao Yun.    

He really did not know what he should do.    

Xiao Yun let out a long sigh.    

He said softly, "There are some things that I have to admit. This is how it is between countries. I will kill you when you are sick, and then I will gain control of your country. They all hope that their words will be more effective than your king's words. Whatever they ask you to do, you will do, without the slightest ability to resist. Your painful struggles, to the surrounding countries... That is the best thing to do. As for whether you live or die... How could they possibly care?"    

"Furthermore, if the countries around you are the same, then... Even if you don't take the opportunity to increase the price of the grain, you will still be happy to see them make a fool of themselves. Furthermore, the price of the grain will definitely rise. "    

"Why?"    

Old Man Ma's face was full of confusion.    

Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Because it's too little!"    

It was that simple!    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "No matter how small you are, you are still a country. You lack food. How serious is this disaster? Don't tell me that the other countries around you will not have any disasters? I don't think so. Your small country is scattered around a few, or even more than a dozen. Each family is self-sufficient, how much food can they produce? They will give birth to as many children as they can, and then famine comes. A large group of people will die, and then you will be shocked to find that... There is clearly famine. As long as you endure it, after a few years, your life will instead become a little better. At least you will be able to eat your fill. Why? With a decrease in population, the output would not change. Naturally, everyone would be able to obtain a little more. It's especially cruel, but that's how it is."    

Xiao Yun walked over and patted Old Man Ma's shoulder. He said, "You are a country that does not do business. Every one of you is self-sufficient. All of a sudden, you are short. If you are short, you will not have enough food in the entire region. If Sun Moon Country does not help you and sell the food to you... The food in the entire region will be sold to the highest bidder. Whoever has money, who won't starve to death, and who doesn't have money... Even if the people in their own countries starve to death, they will still sell the food to the highest bidder."    

"Why... why is it like this? Why is it still selling? "    

The fact that he could ask this question proved that the fury in Old Man Ma's heart had mostly disappeared.    

Although Xiao Yun said it in a cruel manner, it made sense.    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "What about merchants? Do you know why merchants are never liked by rulers? Even if the people think highly of them and treat them as good people, even as a god, a ruler must remain clear-headed!"    

"Wake up? Why do I need to wake up?"    

Old Man Ma did not understand.    

Xiao Yun sighed, "Because when a merchant or merchant guild accumulated more wealth, because they do not need the country to provide them with safety insurance, ___ said. Instead, they feel that the country is a hindrance to them, whether it is tax or all kinds of laws. It was a restriction on them, so don't expect them to be patriots. When the country was in danger, it would be very difficult for them not to hate them. They could totally take their money and assets and run to any place to rebuild their glory. It is not worth it to risk their lives with you. So even if your country is in famine, the grain merchants will still raise the price. As long as the price is high overseas, they will sell the goods overseas. Benefits are only dependent on profits. "    

" This bunch of damn people! "    

Old Man Ma couldn't help but shout in a deep voice.    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Don't scold them. They just did what they were supposed to do. They just did what they were supposed to do. If they really affected them, it could only be said that... That was the fault of a ruler, because controlling them... Balancing them, supervising them, and even using great means to suppress them from time to time... This was what a ruler should do! Not doing it was a mistake in itself. He had suffered the consequences of his own mistakes. You can't blame those who didn't make any mistakes. Right?"    

"This..."    

Old Man Ma was speechless.    

Because from Xiao Yun's words, he understood a word.    

"Useless Roar!"    

He reached out and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, then touched his nose.    

Just now... he had really lost his composure.    

The key point was that it was useless!    

Xiao Yun saw that he had calmed down immediately and nodded his head in satisfaction.    

He realized that this fellow was indeed as he had thought. He was not an ordinary person!    

Then he smiled and said, "Don't say that you have been out for so many years. It's useless. Not only did you earn back that much money, but most importantly, didn't you know me?"    

"Er... That's right!"    

Old Man Ma suddenly widened his eyes and said excitedly, "I almost forgot about you. You must have a way, right?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "There are two ways. One is very difficult. Even I think that method is too troublesome and complicated. This requires you to make use of all the advantages you have in Molan Country to establish a small alliance with the surrounding countries. Exchange, restrain, and support each other. This kind of thing... You know, you need to convince those small countries one by one, the stupid kings who have been through countless generations, you know... As long as there are too many algebra of a family on the throne, there will always be a few useless people."    

Only Xiao Yun dared to say such words.    

The surrounding people did not even dare to listen.    

Now that they had heard it, they could only pretend that they hadn't heard anything!    

"Then... What about the other method? Is it also very troublesome? "    

Old Man Ma asked tentatively.    

On this cold day, his sweat never stopped.    

His head was emitting white smoke, like a steamer of steamed buns.    

Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "There is another method that is especially simple. It is easy and easy to do, but this method... There aren't many people in this world who can do it. Coincidentally, I'm one of them! "    

Touching his chin, Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Originally, I came in this direction to seek an opportunity. Since I was able to encounter something as rare as the Molan Country on my way here, perhaps this is an opportunity... How about this, Manager Hong, I'll follow them to the Molan Country first. After settling the matter in the Molan Country, I'll go to the Sun Moon Country to find you. How about it? "    

"This..."    

Hong Xiluo was stunned.    

What was going on?    

Why didn't Xiao Yun leave with him?    

Most importantly, wasn't this trip to Sun Moon Country related to his daughter's marriage? Wasn't Xiao Yun going to propose marriage?    

He had been traveling for so many days, and his daughter didn't have the face to be alone with Xiao Yun. She had already done her job of avoiding arousing suspicion before marriage. Why did Xiao Yun suddenly change his mind?    

What was going on!?    

But at the same time, he was also anxious.    

There were people who sold refined iron in Sun Moon Country, and they even casually made a guide to clear the level... If everyone in Molan Country could use the guide to cross the huge Sun Moon Country, then what about the others? Could they use the guide to directly head to the capital city?    

Or, to put it in another way, how many bandits were hiding in the capital city now? !    

As for Xiao Yun, sometimes he was tired and sometimes he had to be comfortable. This had a huge impact on the journey.    

He wanted to return like an arrow.    

He also wanted to go back to his hometown.    

He could only put his daughter's matter aside for now!    

"Alright!"    

Hong Xiluo gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will go first... I hope Young Master can forgive me. "
