The salt of the Shining Plains is shipped to Desolace by sea.

It is difficult to travel by land. The terrain is changeable along the way, and how many ancient races have to pass through the territory. Large-scale caravans travel by land, and they can't finish the journey in a year, and they may die on the way.

Therefore, all the salt must be boarded in Ratchet, and then take the sea from the north of Kalimdor, bypass an entire continent to the west coast of the continent, and then deliver the salt to Desolace - Centaurs and Tauren. .

Now the hot sand has hinted that he always has to give the other party some face, and the road to Ratchet City is doomed to fail.

Is it possible to leave this business to Hanhai to protect itself? The answer is no.

There are not enough merchant ships in Hanhai Duhu, and it is impossible to spend three months back and forth to travel such a long way just for a rock salt business. Funds are withdrawn too slowly, and it is a loss no matter what.

The road in the north is not easy to walk, but is the road in the south still? From the map, the fleet started from Tanaris, and it was much closer to the other side of the continent along the southern coastline of the continent.

But in fact, the road to the south is impossible at all, because not long after starting south from Tanaris, after reaching a sea area, all navigational equipment such as compass and sextant failed. General before sailing.

Before, Norgefogg had sent a ship to explore south, and it was like this several times. In the end, he did not dare to go deep into that sea area, because he was afraid that he would lose his way and go nowhere.

Now the southern sea area is called the hand of the devil in the mouth of Nogfogg and the others, which means that there is a devil reaching out and waiting for the ship to throw itself into the net.

In fact, Li De certainly understood the reason for this.

There is a relic city of titan creation in the south: Uldum. It contains the ultimate weapon of Titan creation, and it is it that exudes tremendous energy and interferes with navigational equipment. The entrance to this ruined city is deep in the southern part of the Tanaris Desert.

If you can enter Uldum and close the things inside, the southern route will naturally be open. But such a thing is to think about, and Uldum is full of danger. Just relying on Li De, self-protection after entering is a big problem.

Therefore, in a short period of time, there is only one route in the north that is placed in front of the Huanhai Protector.

But the northern route is equally dangerous. The last fleet sent by Nogfogg and Gazlowe encountered a large number of Nagas at sea a week after the voyage began. Three of the fleet's frigates remained completely behind. out there.

When they came back, the fleet deliberately took a detour to avoid the sea area where Naga haunted, and spent a lot of time on it.

The fleet sailed for a long time and lost several ships. These were all losses to Gazlowe. He would not choose to bear it alone, and deducted a lot from the profits of Duhu Huanhai.

That's why Nogfogg said the cost was too high, even with Gazlowe sharing the cost. If Vast Ocean were to take care of their own profits and losses, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a huge loss.

After hearing what Nogfogg said, Daelin, who had originally shown interest in the rock salt business, immediately stopped his thoughts.

Salt is indeed the lifeblood of the business, and if it operates properly, it will surely make money. But now I hear it, if it is transported to the desolate land, the price is not necessarily much lower than that of the venture capital company's well salt, and more importantly, the cost of other people's well salt is low.

The reason why venture capital companies dare to sell at such a high price is that the market has a high entry threshold and can form a monopoly for a long time. In fact, the cost of local mining is not too high.

The cost of mining rock salt in the Shining Plains is lower, but the transportation cost is terrifyingly high. There is no advantage in Desolace. Kul Tiras has a strong navy, but it does not dare to be such a loser. Besides, there is a more important yarn business. To operate.

Now Nogfogg wants to do this business, but he is unable to do it any longer; Daelin has the ability to do it, but he does not want to do it at all; and with Li De, he wants to do it madly.

Venture capital companies rely on monopoly to purchase local medicinal materials and other raw materials at extremely low prices. However, Li De didn't value the petty profit of raw materials at all. What he really valued was the large kodo beasts there!

There are no large animals in Tanaris, the biggest being lizards and bugs. Bugs can't be domesticated, except as feed, they can only provide ore particles.

But with Hanhai Duhuhu mining for mining, the biggest role of bugs is to serve as feed.

As for the performance of the lizard, it can only be said that it is the general of the dwarf, and the passenger transport is fine, but after all, the cargo is reluctant. When building new cities in the future, it is destined not to point at these lizards to pull things.

Desolace has the largest Kodo beasts in the world. In contrast, they are more intelligent than lizards and have a more docile personality than lizards. It can be said that they are the most suitable animals for domestication.

So for future development, Desolace must be taken down. It's just that the current problem in front of Li De is so great that he doesn't know how to solve it for a while.

But even if he is not clear about the specific problem at hand, how to solve it, Li De also knows what needs to be done in the next stage:

Develop the population, develop the navy, and open up new routes!

Of course, the above questions are still too far away. The most urgent task is to sort out the general situation of the Protector of Hanhai. The speed of development of Nogfogg and the others far exceeded Li De's expectations, so he decided to stay at home for more days.

Li De had previously formulated a dual-cycle strategy, that is, the internal technology, manpower, money, and ore are recycled, and then the industrial products produced are used to buy food and other living materials from Kezan, and now a cotton is added.

With the emergence of the Jenny machine, the super-large capacity of 100,000 spindles not only achieved double circulation, but also created new problems. At present, Hanhai Duhu has serious overcapacity.

In addition to the early days of the construction of the spinning mill, workers reached a high intensity of twelve hours a day, and now the factory operates eight hours a day.

But even so, the workers still found that the money in their hands could not be spent. The population of Hanhai Duhu is too small, and domestic demand can be easily met, leading to Nogfogg even starting to import fruit.

In times of material scarcity in the past, fruit was an absolute luxury in the desert. But now, thanks to the new production model's dimensionality reduction blow to traditional industries, even ordinary workers can guarantee that they can eat fruit once every two days.

Faced with this situation, Li De's first order was to build a prison.

Although it seems that this matter may have nothing to do with increasing domestic demand. However, providing new jobs can also be regarded as a means of increasing domestic demand.

Moreover, the current Protector of the Sea does indeed need a formal prison, not because the law and order of the Protector of the Sea is poor. Soon there will be a large influx of new population, and once there are too many people, it will be difficult to ensure internal security and there will be problems.

But what made Li De realize this was the crew of the Rusty Water Fleet captured that day. They violated the Protector of the Great Sea and must be punished.

But in the final analysis, those guys are a group of employees, and naturally it is impossible to kill them all. Besides, these are all mature navies, and Li De also thought that if he could successfully transform them, he would absorb them into his own navy.

As a result, many seafarers were sentenced to prison terms ranging from six months to three years by Haggard. However, after the sentence was pronounced, everyone was embarrassed to find that there was no prison in Hanhai Protector, and they didn't even know where to keep these guys?

At that time, he had no choice but to choose an empty warehouse as a prison temporarily and imprison these guys, which made Li De realize that he really needed a prison.

But before building the prison, Reed had a long conversation with Van Cleef. For this prison, his request is that the traditional dark and damp black prison should not be built.

The prison in Li De's mind is a place to reform people, not a place to torture them.

For those criminals, putting them in jail is punishment. And for those who committed the most heinous crimes, they should be directly punished by death. There is no need to imprison prisoners in prison cells to torture them, except for creating a group of cruel and vicious jailers, it will not achieve any enlightenment at all.

Li De's request, Van Cleef must be resolutely implemented. He spent three nights, exhausted two large boxes of cigars and a millimeter of hairline, and finally handed over a design drawing that satisfied Li De.

According to this blueprint, Hanhai No. 1 Prison has officially started construction in the northern suburbs outside Gadgetzan City. And the most ingenious thing is that Van Cleef designed it to be built on the mountain. In the prison, you can just see the monastery in Gadgetzan City. After leaving the prison and going down the mountain, it is not far to go east, which is the birthplace of the light of civilization: Stonehenge.

In order to increase domestic demand, the construction period of the prison was specially extended, and it only worked eight hours a day. At the same time, Li De also formally appointed William, the head of the troupe, as the cultural director, under the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Haggad.

The requirement was for William to form a capable theatrical performance team that would regularly enter the factory on a weekly basis and perform for the workers in his spare time. And during this period, we must also attract outstanding workers into the performance team, so that in the true sense, literature and art can reflect the true voice of the people.

Of course, if the factory wants to organize additional performances in addition to the regular weekly performances, it is necessary to raise funds to invite the performance team to enter the factory, which is considered to be manufacturing consumption.

The introduction of Zandalar's history and culture is not to make everyone a historian, but to enrich people's spiritual world, and around spiritual construction, a series of service industries can be derived.

Only after doing this, Li De understood that it was just a temporary solution. This model goes to the extreme, but it is only a small and delicate construction of the vast ocean. If a strong enemy invades, it cannot withstand the impact at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the population. Only when the population reaches a certain order of magnitude can there be a stronger economy, and then there is enough money to develop the navy and protect its own security in the true sense.

In this way, Li De stayed on the post for two months~www.mtlnovel.com~ During this period, Daelin also returned to Kul Tiras once, bringing a batch of yarn as a sample.

That is to say, during the two months, Hanhai Duhu completed the repair of the third-class ship captured from the rusty water chaebol, and incorporated it into its own battle sequence. Li De named the new battleship "Zhenhai".

After two months, Li De finally decided to set off and return to the kingdom continent again. And Daelin also came to Tanaris again at the right time. The difference from last time was that this time, in addition to Daelin's ship, there were two merchant ships and a fleet.

It was a super fleet with three third-class ships and eight sixth-class ships. Li De rented a third-class ship and Two sixth-class ships.

In this way, the Hanhai Protectorate has two third-class ships and four sixth-class ships, excluding several frigates. Such a fleet, coupled with Groll's protection, believed that they would be able to ensure the safety of the Vast Sea Protector before their next voyage.
