Chapter 144 Trade Deficit

After Carus extorted Lis, the next thing was Harichi. Because the Hulda family was traveling for sea transportation and did not use Jindan masters to build ships, his family was full of guards. After all, it was not possible to go to the Aoma Empire in the north to do business without some guard power. Moreover, the Hulda family is famous for its many sons and side families. They have to rely on the sons all over the kingdom to do slave business. When these sons were separated, they could not afford to send off the Jindan period, but there were many in the Zhengdan period.

If you want to talk about this five-fold spiritual gathering array, the only ones that benefited from the kingdom were the largest in his family. In this way, Carus's asking price would not be cheaper, with a hundred golden elixirs a lot, and a thousand five-digit elixirs were knocked out.

This also shows that the number of people in the Kingdom of Jindan stage is small, and the number of people in the Dan-Cracking Stage is large, the ratio between them is one to one hundred. If you train carefully, there will be no limit on the spirit gathering array and no limit on the elixir. Ten elixirs can produce a golden elixir. With the five-fold spirit gathering array and no limit on the elixir, five elixirs can produce a golden elixir.

There are two main reasons for such an imbalance in the ratio between the Jindan stage and the Killing stage.

First, the kingdom has few resources, and it takes more than ten or even decades of cultivation to cultivate the elixir before it can be used for elixir refining. The elixir is naturally more beneficial for the elixir. If the side effects are not considered, one pill per day is not too much, and one pill per day is not too little in ten days and half a month. However, the cultivation speed will vary greatly. Such rare resources will naturally be monopolized by major families and nobles. This is why these big families have mastered 90% of the golden elixir masters in the kingdom.

Second, the characteristics of the Killing Pill stage determine that it is not affordable by small families and civilians. After entering the Killing Pill stage, because the divine mind turns into spiritual consciousness, there is no longer any restriction on the cultivation time. You can spend 14 or 5 hours a day to practice and even go into seclusion. This leads to the Killing Pill cultivator who wants to improve his cultivation level, he cannot engage in production work.

Originally, it took twenty or thirty years of cultivation from Qi refining to elixir formation. Before elixir formation, it could help with some physical work. Once it reached the elixir formation stage, it could only be maintained by the family for nothing. It has huge expenses and cannot generate income. This is not something that a civilian family can afford.

Therefore, what civilians seek to join a large family is just a spirit gathering array. Three times the spirit gathering array can speed up their cultivation speed by three times. Generally, they do a day of work and rest for a day, which will give them more than a day of practice at home. Pills have always been only a benefit of direct or talented side-lines for the big family. Don’t think about these civilians who join a large family.

It can be seen from this that with the unchanged amount of elixirs, those people who were not paying much attention to in the family worked day and practiced for one day and used the five times the spirit gathering array, which was nearly twice the effective practice time than before, and increased by half the chance of breakthrough. That was not an exaggeration at all.

The Zhang Ziqiang family is even more amazing. Not only does the servants use the five-fold spiritual gathering array, but the 380 maids only work one day every ten days, and the four hundred side systems have been practicing continuously. These advantages are not counted. With a wealthy and powerful situation, all the elixirs in the family have been constantly being pills!

All these expenses are calculated. His expenses are comparable to the Randy family in terms of cultivation. This is why the monks in his family’s Dan-Jing stage can guarantee that they can reach the peak of Dan-Jing. His family’s products have high added value and strong profitability. According to conventional calculations, they can also ensure such a large supply. Later, they refined the spirit-turning talisman without additional expenses on the crystal stone. This saves a lot of money. Not to mention the Dan-Jing stage, his family can use the five-fold spiritual gathering array without limit, so how can they not develop quickly?

Now his family has more self-preservation and has more Dan-building period. In a few years, his family's high-end force will be the first in the kingdom, and it will not be a dream!

A whole morning, the few people finally finished talking and decided on the largest population transaction. In the end, even the Randy family of Ellenda paid the price of 700 escorts and 5 million gold coins. According to the agreement with Millum, there was also a large bonus from Carrus. Logically speaking, this was obtained for free by talking, but for some reason, Carrus always felt a little unhappy in his heart - that boy Zhang Ziqiang made a fortune!

It was almost noon after the main talks. Carrus kept a few people to eat in the palace. During the chat, Harric said to Carrus: "Your Majesty, I discovered something bad recently."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Carus was a little surprised. It was probably a lot of things that could make Harric say were bad things.

"The pump pump has been launched for more than three years, and the three northern countries have been put into use in large quantities. This year, my family's sea honey fruits and offshore specialties shipped to the Aoma Empire are difficult to sell. Many customers have stopped ordering now. I sent someone to inquire and found out that they have planted them themselves. There are not many fruits produced this year, but next year, they will not need to buy our sea honey fruits at all!"

The sea honey fruit tree is a shrub tree species with underdeveloped roots but requires a lot of water to survive. Moreover, after the fruit, watering alone is not enough. The stems and leaves need to grow in environments with high humidity, so it is only available in places with high precipitation in coastal areas. There are only two countries in the mainland, the Fierce Wind Dynasty and the Ayer Empire.

The Oma Empire and Berwick sea-connecting areas were originally not large, and they were all high mountains. The monsters were everywhere on it, which was the second of the six dangerous places on the continent. Even if this kind of sea honey fruit was produced, it could not be picked. There are six counties south of the Hai'an Mountains of the Kingdom of Al, and there are plains of six counties, one of which is Hudar County, which is the fief of the Hudar family. These counties plant sea honey fruits.

Every year, all the sea honey fruits produced in Hudar County and surrounding areas are transported to the north. The Fierce Wind Dynasty also had seven plains like Hudar County, which are rich in rain. However, the sea honey fruits produced are not enough for the Fierce Wind Dynasty to consume in China, so naturally there is no export. Although the Aoma Empire and the Berwick Kingdom did not have such plains, after all, it is in the sea, and planted this sea honey fruit tree in counties near the sea, and it is sufficient for manual watering. However, its cost is not much different from the price transported from the Ayr Kingdom, so there is no large number of plantings.

In this way, among the six countries in the mainland, the Principality of Hegel and the Poole Empire had no sea honey fruit production at all, and could only rely on imports. Sea honey fruit is an indispensable raw material for sugar making, and the annual consumption is quite large.

The so-called north and south of the entire continent are just a problem of direction, there is no temperature difference, and the four seasons are the same, which causes the homogeneity of various countries and counties to be particularly serious. Your country has it, and my country also has it. I can also plant the spiritual wood and elixirs you can plant. If it is not for a special reason, generally speaking, there will be no room for a lot of trade between the raw materials.

Because the main temple undertakes the technological heritage of the mainland, the homogeneity of products made by humans is also very serious. There are only a total of less than 200 array symbols, which can be built in any country. There was no encrypted array before, even if you invent a new thing and it is powerful, as long as you sell it, others can build it, and there is no need for a lot of trade.

Without big wars and big developments, small-scale wars, prices will basically not be ups and downs. The production between countries is sufficiently self-sufficient, and the raw materials and production prices in various countries are equal, so there is no possibility of trade.

Only this sea honey fruit has specific requirements for the living environment and has a lot of market demands. In the past, from the south to the north, it could also pass through the main teleportation array. Since the Qianfeng Dynasty unified the center, it occupied three main teleportation arrays. The teleportation array between the north and the south must be redirected through one of these three main teleportation arrays. All countries are hostile to the Qianfeng Dynasty and have all closed the main teleportation arrays that communicate with it, which has led to the current situation where the north and the south must pass through sea ships to communicate!

Thanks to the danger of the sea in this world, there are no strong winds or big waves, and there is only the danger of sea beasts attacking ships. Otherwise, there would be no connection between the north and the south. The Fierce Wind Dynasty and the mainland countries had no trade deals, so naturally there was no need to develop sea transportation.

Before the pump was launched, after the honey fruit produced in the Kingdom of Al was transported to the Oma Empire, it traded with merchants from the Principality of Hegel and the Poole Empire. The Hudal family sold honey fruits, purchased these two countries and captured war captives from the Fierce Wind Dynasty, and transported them back to their country as slaves for sale.

Since the launch of the pump pump, the Kingdom of Al urgently needed a large number of slaves to develop mountains, but the Principality of Hegel and the Poole Empire saved a lot of manpower due to automatic irrigation, causing slaves to depreciate. The Hudal family transported ships to the Kingdom of Al, and the slave trading volume was equivalent to four or five years ago.

However, the total value of honey fruits produced in the Al Kingdom each year is limited, and the trade between the north and the south of the mainland is unbalanced. After the kingdom has gained a lot of manpower, the gold coins have been spent almost. This is what Carus made a lot of money when trading pumping pump technology with the mainland countries.

In addition to the rise of Rositingtonshire, a considerable portion of the circulating gold coins in the kingdom flowed into Rositingtonshire, and the Hudal family also concentrated the gold coins due to derogatory slaves. A ship of gold coins were transported to the Oma Empire, and then a ship of slaves were transported back to sell them in China to exchange for more gold coins. To a certain extent, this caused insufficient circulating gold coins in the Kingdom of Al.

Harric couldn't figure out the problem of gold coins concentration and loss, and he didn't have this awareness and could not count it. He made a lot of money for two or three consecutive years, and he didn't find this problem at all. However, this year the north can produce honey fruits on its own, and the demand is declining. The slave trade is still surging. The already unbalanced trade between the North and the South is now even more deficit. Even if Harric no longer has the awareness of foreign trade, he feels something is wrong.

Although Harric found the problem and he knew the cause of the problem, he had no good solution. Moreover, foreign trade was booming, his family made more money. If it weren't for the honey fruit trees planted in his fiefdom and the surrounding counties, the honey fruits were unsold this year, and he wouldn't have raised them yet.
