Chapter 14 A small country with a great cause Looking at the stunned old man Corinth, Zheng Shuanglong waved his hands and said with a sneer: "Okay, okay, even if the Kingdom of Liber is rich enough, it will look down upon the pitiful and hard profession of fishermen and disdain to go there.
Eat in the sea and don’t care about the nutritious and delicious fish, shrimp and seaweed.”
"No, that's not the case, but I haven't thought about it at all."
After hearing Zheng Shuanglong's words, the old man Collins said instinctively.
The conscience of heaven and earth, the farms in the Lotlian area, and the pastures in the Chase area can already provide food for the entire Liber Kingdom, and it doesn't matter even if it is unable to provide food due to natural disasters.
With the wealth of the Liber Kingdom, it can always provide food from surrounding countries.
Having purchased enough food from China, the Kingdom of Liber has enough funds.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Liber has never thought about developing the sea or this ever-changing blue ocean.
Except for a very small amount of offshore fishing and ship exchanges with the Republic, the seaport city of Luan really has nothing to ask for from the sea that can give many things to the people of the Liber Kingdom.
This is really an incredible thing.
But it makes sense.
Since the resources on the mainland can feed the people of Liber Kingdom and live a very good and enjoyable life, then only a ghost is willing to take risks in the ever-changing sea.
After all, the sea has never been so gentle.
"Oh ha, not having thought about it at all is worse than not caring."
Zheng Shuanglong said with an increasingly mocking look on his face: "Not caring is arrogance, but not thinking about it at all is stupidity.
It turns out that people from the Kingdom of Liber If you are not an arrogant person but a stupid person, then there is really nothing to look forward to in this kingdom.
Dear Principal Collins, leave as soon as possible.
Open this stupid country, otherwise sooner or later you will be dragged to death by this stupid country, or Mr.
Collins, who was born in the Kingdom of Liber, is not as smart as he appears at all, but a You are very stupid, this is really something to be thankful for.
Should I go and set off some fireworks to celebrate?"
"Although I don't know who has provoked you in the past two months, but now you are completing the promise you gave me, so can you be more serious?"
Finally I couldn't stand Zheng Shuanglong's uninterrupted chatter.
With a sarcastic expression, Principal Collins said with a serious face.
He is worthy of being a big shot in the Kingdom of Libel.
He can move his energy and nourish his body.
His aura can really intimidate many, many people.
Unfortunately, Zheng Shuanglong is one of the very few people who is not affected by the aura of old man Corinth. one.
Shrugging, Zheng Shuanglong continued indifferently: "Are you serious?
Of course you can.
Although I hate this place and you, an old guy who never died but was a thief, I will still do what I agreed to.
I did it.
I still have this quality, ahem, what did I say just now, oh, I’m not interested in the food provided by the poor sea, well, that’s it.”
After listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, Old Collins' face turned green again.
What does it mean to be too old to die is to be a thief?
Looking at the livid old man Corinth with a smile, Zheng Shuanglong continued happily: "So, what about the medicines in the sea?
The sea provides not only food, but also valuable medicinal materials and other... something" "Bao Ke can reduce blood pressure and cure dizziness and blurred vision; jellyfish can cure women's strain, blood accumulation in vaginal discharge, and rheumatic erysipelas in children; seahorse and sea dragon can nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, calm and calm the mind, relieve cough and asthma; use turtle blood and turtle oil to treat asthma and trachea. inflammation; using seaweed to treat sore throat, etc.; jellyfish is a cuttlefish The inner shell of cod liver can treat stomach problems, indigestion, facial nerve pain and other symptoms; pearl powder can stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, detoxify, promote muscle growth, nourish yin and nourish skin; cod liver oil made from cod liver can treat vitamin D deficiency; seawater Snake venom juice can treat hemiplegia and sciatica” "The profits brought by these marine medicinal materials are not comparable to those of food.
Can't even these things impress the people of Liber Kingdom?
The requirements of the people of Liber Kingdom are really too high, too high.
Yes.
Isn’t it?”
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong who was speaking seriously, Old Man Collins sighed in his heart and didn't know how to argue.
What Zheng Shuanglong said always seems to make sense.
Although the sarcastic tone is really hard to accept, old man Collins is already a lot older, has more experience, is broad-minded, and can Holds a lot of stuff.
Some ugly words still couldn't shake him.
In other words, Zheng Shuanglong's mocking words were more likely to make Old Corinth tremble than Zheng Shuanglong's mistake of putting down the Kingdom of Liber.

There is always something that people can't let go of.
For the old man Corinth, the Kingdom of Liber is something he cannot let go of.
Not caring about the feelings of the old man Corinth at all, Zheng Shuanglong said whatever he wanted, and the sarcastic tone in his words remained unchanged.
The cruel and cruel fact was displayed so nakedly in front of the old man Corinth without any modification, so cruel and cold.
"The Kingdom of Liber is a small country, and if a small country wants to create miracles and accomplish great things, it always needs to be a little bit different."
"The Codex Country relies on the overwhelming strength of the Qiyao Church to have such a unique status.
The fearful and terrifying blood has long ago contributed to the Codex Country's otherworldly international status."
"The Liber Kingdom does not have the strength of the Qiyao Church, and the two neighboring countries are terrifying behemoths like the Empire and the Republic.
It is completely impossible to expand north, east, or south."
"Therefore, Liber's only way out to become a powerful force that makes both the Empire and the Republic fearful is to seek everything he can from the west and southwest oceans."
He knocked heavily on Gravaldo, which was directly opposite the city of Luan on the map.
On the ocean, Zheng Shuanglong said solemnly: "The ocean strategy is the most important strategy for the future development of the Liber Kingdom.
Except for the development of Chase Workshop, everything must make way for this ocean strategy."
"The Kingdom of Liber is sandwiched between the Empire and the Republic.
It cannot find a direction for development from land.
Because it is at odds with the Empire, the merchants of Liber basically come through the Republic and trade with the Republic. , However, the high tariffs have greatly restricted Liber’s development.”
"I don't know if you have ever calculated how much benefits the Liber Kingdom brings to the Republic every year because of the high tariffs.
If Mira had saved that part and invested in the Liber Kingdom, Liber would have become the world's most powerful country.
One of the richest countries.”
"In short, the businessmen of Liber are not creating profits for the development of Liber, but for the development of the Republic.
The Republic is a vampire crawling on the Kingdom of Liber.
It is sucking the blood of the Kingdom of Liber and developing itself. national power.”
That's really good to say.
After listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, Old Man Collins had such emotion.
Ordinary people in the Kingdom of Liber do not understand this situation, nor do they understand the exploitation of the Kingdom of Liber by the Republic of Calvard, a friendly country in their eyes.
However, Corinth, who can be said to be a big shot in the Kingdom of Liber, How could you not know what the Republic of Kalvad took from the Kingdom of Libel?
If it weren't for the exploitation of the Kalvard Republic, the Kingdom of Libel, which had the advantage of developing guided missiles and was exporting guided missiles to all countries in the Western Continent, would not have recovered from the damage of the war for so long.
For the Kingdom of Libel, the Erebonian Empire is not a good thing, and the Kalvard Republic is not much better.
They always want to take away something from the Kingdom of Liber that does not belong to them.
Drawing a curve in the ocean basin on the map, Zheng Shuanglong pressed his hand and continued seriously: "Therefore, the Kingdom of Liber must develop new trade routes, and the ocean is the best choice.
After all, the Republic of Kalvad , The Erebonia Empire controls the sky and the earth, can it still control the endless ocean?
" Looking at the old man Corinth who seemed to want to say something, Zheng Shuanglong waved his hand and said quickly: "Perhaps you will think that since we have a guided airship, why do we need a slow ship?
Just use the guided airship.
Isn’t it possible to trade?”
"However, ships have advantages that guided airships cannot match."
"Indeed, the speed of a guided airship is several times, or even dozens of times, that of a ship.
However, how many things can a guided airship carry, how many things can a cargo ship carry, how long can a guided airship last, and how long can a ship continue to sail?
There is always a reason why many ships have not been completely replaced by guided airships."
"Taking advantage of the development of guidance, we can begin to truly develop the sea and open up new shipping routes.
This will definitely bring countless wealth to the Liber Kingdom."
"The Kingdom of Liber is a small country, and it is impossible for a small country to develop without sufficient wealth."
"Libel is indeed relatively wealthy.
The per capita income and happiness index are higher than those of the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvad.
However, once the total capital is calculated, the Kingdom of Libel is not enough at all."
"The land is vast, the territory is vast, and the resources are rich.

A big country has extraordinary potential.
Even if it falls behind for a while, it can still catch up.
As for the Liber Kingdom, once such a small Kingdom falls behind, it simply does not have enough resources or enough resources. potential to catch up.”
"Therefore, the Kingdom of Liber cannot fall behind.
Therefore, if the Kingdom of Liber wants to achieve great things as a small country, it must have massive wealth, and only the endless sea can bring massive wealth to the Kingdom of Liber."
Gently tapping the table, Zheng Shuanglong said in a bewitching tone: "Not a lot, not many things, as long as there is a new safe and feasible waterway, a waterway that can connect to the Eastern Continent, it can give Liber Bring enough profit.”
“The emergence of this waterway will not only give merchants in the Kingdom of Libel more choices, but also protect merchants from the Kingdom of Libel from being exploited by the Republic of Kalvad.
Most importantly, the Republic of Kalvad The people in the Eastern Continent who are already very disgusted with the sinful faces of the capitalists in the Kalvard Republic are very happy to control the trade with the Eastern Continent.
The kingdom is engaged in friendly exchanges, isn’t it?”
"Guidance is a very good energy source.
That kind of recyclable, almost unlimited energy is very good for navigation, no, not just navigation, no matter what kind of enterprise it is."
"Using the Luan seaport as a basis, we will open up routes in four directions: east, west, south and north.
These routes can connect the Kingdom of Liber with major economic regions in the world."
"The eastbound route goes from the coastal port of Luan to the Republic of Kalvad, and then crosses the ocean eastward through the Republic of Kalvad to reach the Eastern Continent, and then communicates with various countries and ethnic groups in the Eastern Continent along the coastline.
This is not only possible Bringing enough wealth to the Kingdom of Liber, promoting exchanges between people from all over the world, and increasing the international influence of the Kingdom of Liber.”
"Well, that's right.
It's international influence.
It's pretty good.
A small country like Liber Kingdom can have enough international influence.
It's a bit incredible.
You can get it if you develop the ocean."
"The southbound route starts from the port of Luan, passes through the Republic of Calvard, and goes south to the ocean to explore whether there is a new continent.
If the so-called new continent can be discovered, it will really be a blessing.
No matter it is Whether it’s trade or plunder, you can always get a lot of benefits.”
"The westbound route is a very important route.
It is the only route that can avoid the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Kalvard.
The planet is round, and the westbound route can also reach the Eastern Continent.
From the ports of Luan Start sailing west, cross the Gravaldo Ocean, enter the endless sea, keep moving forward, and then one day you will be able to reach the Eastern Continent.”
"The northbound route is mainly to pass through the Erebonian Empire and arrive at the seaports of Zhuraishi State and other countries."
"This can be regarded as a great geographical discovery.
There are obviously guided airships, obviously there are guided communicators, and the level of civilization is obviously not low, but there is no complete planet map, and there is no one that marks the specific situation of this world.
Map, this is really depressing.”
"Can't you sit down for a while and do some learning?"
Zheng Shuanglong stared at the old man Corinz, who was called the leader of the Libel Kingdom Scholars Alliance, with a look of disdain, and said without politeness at all.
Facing the look in Zheng Shuanglong's eyes, Old Man Corinth felt a little ashamed.
The people on the continent of Samlia were really bad at developing the ocean.
They do not have that adventurous spirit and do not set their sights on the ocean.
The mainland is their habitat.
In fact, Old Man Collins really doesn't need to be ashamed.
What Zheng Shuanglong did this time was really unreasonable.
Indeed, Zheng Shuanglong was preparing to leave behind the most important knowledge of the Kingdom of Liber, but it left behind many traps, many secret hands, and many inconceivable and powerless things.
Zheng Shuanglong drew a big cake for Old Man Collins, and then told Old Man Collins that the painted cake could satisfy his hunger.
However, Old Man Collins really believed what Zheng Shuanglong said and wanted to use this painted cake to satisfy his hunger.
Totally impossible.
This is the knowledge that Zheng Shuanglong left to the Kingdom of Liber, knowledge that is beautiful, realistic, important but unattainable.

The highest ideal and the first ideal are as far apart as the end of the world.
We can only look at the highest ideal, and then slowly complete it step by step over a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years.
It is very dazzling.
But it is too far away from people.
The maritime strategy is indeed the most important strategy for the Kingdom of Liber to realize its great cause as a small country.
However, it is really not possible for this strategy to be fully realized in the Kingdom of Liber.
Under various external and internal constraints, it is impossible to accomplish such a strategy.
Every bit of it is a blessing.
Not to mention whether the Liber royal family, which was able to launch such labor-intensive and costly projects as the Guroni Mountain Road and the Kaludia Tunnel in order to consolidate the royal family's rule, has the courage to go all out and fully support the development of Luan, even if the Liber royal family can really Putting aside the possibility that the Luan area might break away from the Kingdom of Liber, and focusing solely on developing Luan, there is no way to implement this maritime strategy satisfactorily.
Corinth is the alternate mayor of Luan City anyway.
So, when the old man Corinth proposed a development outline centered on Luan, what would the representatives of other regions think?
Regional protectionism exists everywhere, and hilltopism is even more normal.
For the sake of the development of Luan, the mayors of Perth, Chase, and Lotlian must consider the opinions of the people under their control even if they support it themselves, sacrificing the interests of their own region.
We are all from Liber, so why should we give way to Luan?
Why should we sacrifice our own interests for the development of Luan?
We are not from Luan.
Not to mention that the financial allocation is so large, it is tilted towards Lu'an, and the allocation for other areas is less.
It is really unbearable to sacrifice one's own development for the development of Lu'an.
The local city of Lotlian was okay, but the problem of the factory city of Chase was that scientific research was a money-burning activity, so what could we do if we didn't have enough funds.
However, even if these two areas have to be sacrificed, the sacrifices will not be very large, but as for the commercial city of Perth, it really cannot tolerate the rise of Luan at all.
That will consume your future.
The opening of new trade routes and the rise of Luan represent the decline of Perth, a commercial city that relied on border trade close to the Erebonia Empire.
Doesn't this represent the decline of Perth's investors?
The decrease in businessmen means that life in the Perth area will be significantly reduced.
Even if Mayor Mabel reluctantly agrees to this kind of thing out of consideration for the Kingdom of Libel, the residents of the Perth area are unlikely to agree.
This is really damaging to their vital interests.
How can I endure this?
Especially before enjoying the huge profits brought by ocean trade, the original vested interest groups will not let go.
It is not a question of short-sightedness or long-sightedness, but ten birds in sight are not as good as one bird in hand.
What is tangible in your hands is real, and what is long-term is always long-term
