Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3391: 3393【Return to Middle-earth】

Having been in Western Europe for half a month, Xiang Nan is generally satisfied with the state of Western Europe.

What he needs is a poor, backward, ignorant and ignorant Europe, not the great powers of the previous life. This will facilitate his rule and the dumping of goods.

Nowadays, cotton cloth, porcelain, ironware, spirits, glass, tea, clocks, perfumes, etc. produced in China are so popular in Europe that they have forgotten that in fact, many products originally originated in Europe and were imported from Europe. It can be spread to the Middle Earth.

But now Europe's industrial base has been so severely damaged that no decent factory can be found, and it has degenerated into the handicraft industry of medieval Europe.

Under that state, productivity was very low, which also kept the price of goods high. Even if the goods produced in China come from thousands of miles away, the price is still cheaper than the handmade products in Europe.

 Because of this, European people naturally chose cheap and high-quality Chinese products, which made it extremely difficult for European craftsmen to survive and were on the verge of bankruptcy.

 This is exactly what Xiang Nan learned from the European and American powers.

They just like to use low-price dumping to make their opponents unprofitable, thereby destroying their opponents' industrial base, and then taking the opportunity to monopolize their opponents' markets and seize the final profits at extremely high prices.

 For example, food. Mexico's food self-sufficiency rate was pretty good, but as a result, U.S. grain merchants sold grain in the country at extremely low prices, causing Mexican farmers to go bankrupt. U.S. grain merchants have since monopolized the Mexican market, and grain prices are naturally not what they used to be. You can go as high as you want, otherwise you will be forced to starve to death if you don't buy.

 …

 After leaving Berlin, Xiang Nan came to the Rakshasa Kingdom.

 At this time, the state of the Rakshasa Kingdom was similar to that of Europe. It was also in a state of poverty, ignorance and backwardness.

 Because the native civilization of the Rakshasa Kingdom was not advanced in the first place, it mainly drew its nutrients from Europe. For example, its religion, culture, writing, science, industry, etc.

In the seventeenth century, Peter the Great sent people to Europe to learn advanced technologies. After returning home, they set up factories and developed trade, culture, education and scientific research. At the same time, they reformed the military and established a European-styled army and navy... After a series of Westernization After the reform, the Rakshasa Kingdom gradually grew into a European power.

 But today's Europe is like a clay Buddha crossing the river. It cannot protect itself. What can it teach the Rakshasa country?

Furthermore, after the Rakshasa Kingdom went through some reforms, all intellectuals, businessmen, landowners, nobles, kings, and even priests were killed.

What is left is a group of retired serfs who have no knowledge, skills, brains, and can't even read a few words. They farm the land and don't even know how to use fertilizer.

Hence, the current Rakshasa country is also in a state of poverty, ignorance and backwardness. But because everyone is like this, they are all very happy.

For these serfs, at least they were just hungry and no longer oppressed by landlords, nobles, and kings. Xiang Nan is very satisfied with their optimistic and naive attitude.

 …

 After staying in Ke Palace for a few days, Xiang Nan and others returned to China by car.

While passing through the Mongolian grasslands, various Mongolian tribes came to see Xiang Nan to express their loyalty and offer their gifts.

Since Xiang Nan conquered Europe and established the northern route of the Asia-Europe Railway, all the Mongolian ministries have completely convinced Xiang Nan and no longer have any second thoughts about him.

Especially after seeing the advantages of machine guns and cannons against cavalry, they had no other ideas. They all became good at singing and dancing, and became generous and heroic.

 Since Xiang Nan conquered Europe, the Mulan Autumn Festival has not been held again. The reason is very simple. The biggest reason for holding the Mulan Autumn Festival before was to win over all the Mongolian ministries for their own use. But now the millions of people from all the Mongolian tribes combined are not as powerful as his army of 10,000 people.

Moreover, after the Rakshasa Kingdom was captured, there was no reason to rely on Mongolia to resist Western invasion.

 Hence, the Mongolian ministries no longer have any use value for Xiang Nan. The reason why I didn't kill them was just because I saw that they were quite sensible, so I didn't bother to deal with them.

 The various ministries of the Mongolian state also know that their use value is very little, so naturally they have to work harder to show their loyalty. Otherwise, if the huge world is conquered, their tribes will be nothing.

So when Xiang Nan returned to Luan and passed through the grassland, they all came to pay homage and offered the most precious gifts. Such as gold, silver, gems, horses, cattle and sheep, beautiful women... to please Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan actually had a headache when he saw this.

 Because he walked around and received so many gifts that the train couldn't even hold them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the gems alone filled two wagons, and there were hundreds of tons of gold and silver. As for the beauties, there were more than 200 of them, which made Xiang Nan worry about where to store them.

You must know that he is not Sima Yan, Emperor Ming of Tang, or Emperor Zhengde. He has a harem with over 10,000 beauties, wine ponds and meat forests, and he enjoys himself wantonly... His palace has less than 300 maids serving him.

Now that I have brought back more than 200 beauties, there are not enough palace maids, and even the palace is not enough to live in. All in all, it is troublesome. But because these are their loyalties.

 If you accept it, just return it. If you don't accept it, it will appear that you have a problem with them. By then, there’s no telling what kind of trouble it’s going to cause.

 So Xiang Nan could only accept them first, and then consider giving these beauties to his sons, princes and nobles.

 …

Xiang Nan stayed in the grassland for seven days, drinking, talking, riding horses and hunting with the Khans, chiefs and leaders of various Mongolian tribes, and built a good relationship.

When the Mongolian kings saw that although Xiang Nan was old enough, he was still as graceful as ever on horseback, and he was still as fast as a shooting star with his bow and arrow, showing no sign of fatigue, and even not deaf or blinded, they couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that Xiang Nan was the master. With this kind of physical condition, there is probably no problem in living for another ten years, so everyone can't help but behave more respectfully.

 Seven days later, Xiang Nan and others returned to the Central Plains by car.

This trip took about two months in total. Overall, Xiang Nan was satisfied.

 The Qing Dynasty's rule over various parts of the world should be relatively stable. Although there were some turmoil in some areas, it did not affect the overall situation.

 Especially the implementation of the policies of division, blockade and obscurantism in Europe and Tianfang made him very satisfied. As long as there is no trouble in Europe, there won't be much trouble elsewhere.

 Because except for Europe, the civilizations in other places are quite backward. For example, many places in Central Asia, Mongolia, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America still have primitive tribal systems, and their productivity and science and technology are very backward.

Even if Xiang Nan leaves things alone and allows them to develop freely and wants to give birth to modern technology, he doesn’t know how long it will take.

 But Europe is different. The germs of modern technology have already been born. If they don't press on, they will give birth to modern technology sooner or later, and it will be difficult to deal with it by then.
