I Want a Low-key Traverser, So I Try to Act in Secret

Now that he has decided to intervene, Li Xu will naturally not intentionally start with sailing warships and play fair competition with the natives here. It is king to directly rely on the modern industrial system and bombard primitive talents with modern warfare equipment.

However, he will not promote the development of "civilization" by sacrificing the indigenous people and the people at the bottom like during the great voyage or the industrial revolution. This bloody development model is only the progress of science and productivity. Can it be called The true civilization is still unknown.

……

Originally, Li Xu planned to use the [Shelter] resources to solve the conflict between the magic attribute and the internal force attribute.

But all of a sudden, there was a big resource eater—the "Yang Dengxing" spacecraft, and a lot of resources were spent on its analysis and transformation.

Even though it possesses such a powerful "spherical optical brain", it cannot realize automatic driving, and it is only a small 200-meter-long spaceship, but it requires a driving team of nearly a hundred people and a maintenance team of nearly a hundred people... This is too true. Too bad, even if it's because "Yang Dengxing" is an experimental model of a new power furnace spacecraft.

Therefore, it must be changed, and a major change must be made.

And because of the "spherical optical brain", [Shelter] itself seems to be in the process of system upgrade, consuming a lot of resources every day, Li Xu's shelter resources are suddenly stretched, falling into a situation of not enough.

Therefore, when he went back to mobilize manpower, he could only make a [special pier] in the [shelter] and it would be unsustainable.

But a [special pier] is enough.

As long as it is installed in place, materials, personnel and equipment can be continuously imported from other worlds.

……

When Li Xu returned, he left sister Astalia and two maids in Da Kui Chao world.

The worst of these four people is also a maid who has cultivated the internal force attribute for more than [-] years. Astalia and Beatrix are even self-propelled destruction devices in human form—compared to humans in this world.

After he himself has demonstrated enough "magical" abilities, I believe that as long as Liu Zhanshan's intelligence is normal, he will not have the idea of ​​helping Li Xu take care of the "female disciple" and her sister, nor will others have such dangerous thoughts. idea.

And when he left, he gave Liu Zhanshan a little explanation of the concepts of "shares" and "companies", which was just enough to solve the problem of the internal structure of his huge but loose sea power.

For more than a month, Liu Zhanshan has not returned to the Liu's Manor in Taizhou at all, and has been contacting his subordinates in various places to integrate and reorganize his forces.

As for the two sisters Astalia and Beatrix who stayed in the manor and were bored, Baimao used his own expertise to train all the servants in the manor a little bit—militarized training, being stabbed When you arrive at Da Kui Chao Jin Yiwei's place, you will immediately have the training of ransacking your home and destroying your family.

However, the magistrate of Eose Taizhou only wants to spend his tenure in peace and safety, and has no intention of provoking such a big master like Liu Zhanshan. However, Jinyiwei, who is from the local garrison to the servant of the emperor, will either be subdued by Liu Zhanshan, or he will feed him with money. If you are full, unless a certain master of the literati class is determined to make trouble with Liu Zhanshan, no one of these people will have trouble with money.

As far as modern warfare and tactics are concerned, Baimao doesn't know much about it, but she knows everything about fighting with cold weapons, including training soldiers, and how to exercise endurance in the world of poor demons.

Idle is also idle, Liu Zhanshan is not here, Li Xu is not here, she is the biggest one in the manor, every day when she eats hazel, she trains servants as a pastime.

Apart from Beatrix, when Li Xu left, he left her a full set of game consoles and generators.

Her brother-in-law is away, she has no nighttime entertainment, and she has no interest in sweating herself through physical exercise, so she stays in the courtyard, playing games with Dasha and Gemma every day, or learning and pondering the seafood recipes here.

When I have nothing to do, I set up a grill to eat barbecue in a very high-end garden landscape. At this time, I will invite her white-haired sister to interact. The two of them grilled seafood in the courtyard and drank the daughter's red or Zhuangyuanhong also has other low-alcohol rice wines.

In a non-magic world like Da Kuizhao, although the power of Beatrix's elements and all spells is greatly reduced, it is still possible to use a lightning spell to charge the battery by yourself, so there is no need to use fuel The generator is booming, booming, and she can do it herself.

……

It has been two months since Li Xu came back again.

I still entered from the open sea, but this time I knew the general direction, so I drove directly to the [Black Pearl] and came to Taizhou.

The wharf on the Taizhou side is Liu Zhanshan’s private port. After putting down the [special wharf], he explained a few words to the supervisor on the wharf, went to Liu’s manor, brought Bai Mao, Jin Mao and two maids with him, and opened the The portal left again amidst a black mist.

The women in the family were about to give birth, and there was only a few days' difference between their due dates. His father and Astalia, his mother, had to go back to welcome the birth of their own blood.

Jing, Jessica, and Maggie, including those in the asteroid base in the interstellar world, also have their own substitutes to take over, and at the same time take the "transportation sailboat" to return to the "Sauvarando World".

During the annual meeting, a group of family members participated in the meeting with their big bellies, and the heads of all places knew that the general boss of their chamber of commerce would produce offspring at this time.

Those who can come come in person, and those who can't come also send congratulatory gifts.

Li Xu didn't expect his family affairs to attract so much attention, but think about it, the birth of the heir to the general boss of the "Black Pearl" Chamber of Commerce in the future, and no matter whether it is ancient or modern, this kind of thing is quite grand.

……

Section 142 0140

Liu Fu, the manager of the dock, is used to the Franji-style warships that regularly appear at the dock.

Liu Fu's surname was not originally Liu, but the servants who can share the same surname with their master these days are all confidantes of the master's family.

He was not in charge of managing the wharf at first. Taizhou Port is not where the North-South Shipping Department is located, and the traffic on the road and inland rivers is not developed. Even a few small rivers in Taizhou can only run around and fish with single-person sampans. There is simply no way to run a ship carrying goods or passengers.

The reason why there is Taizhou Port is simply because Liu Zhanshan settled here.

As the No. [-] housekeeper of Liu's Manor, he has witnessed many miracles of Li's "immortal master", such as his ability to conjure a huge white steel ship out of thin air... It was only later that he found out that the white ship The boats are just Li Xianshi's rides when he is playing. Those ships with slender hulls and all made of fine steel are the real warships for fighting.

In his impression, the most powerful thing in the world is the "General Shenwu Cannon" cast by the imperial court, which can easily penetrate the county-level city walls when it runs down. Only the thick city walls of Jinling can withstand the "General Shenwu" Cannon" bombardment.

But this cognition is easily broken by these iron armors... no, it's completely the small guns on the steel battleships that don't look heavy, but have thinner and slender barrels.

The small cannon is only relatively speaking, but it is thinner and longer than the Cannon of the Great General Shenwu.

Some wooden battleships use iron-clad sculls or shields as a means of protection. This kind of warship is also called "iron-clad battleship", but it is not the same thing as Li Xianshi's battleships that are all made of refined steel.

As one of the few insiders, he saw with his own eyes that these steel battleships were "transformed" by Li Xianshi.

Immortal master, this is not just talking about playing or politely calling it. Li Xianshi is a real immortal, a land god, and even a Daluo Jinxian. After accepting this concept, he can "transform" into a steel warship. The ability to accept a lot.

Every few days, the large Fran aircraft warships that regularly appear at the pier bring over some short-haired Han Chinese who speak the official dialect of Nanzhili, and they may not all be from Nanzhili. He speaks very fluent Nanzhili Mandarin.

Later, there were Fusang people, all of whom spoke very fluent Nanzhili official dialect, and gave them the feeling of Liu Zhanshan’s subordinates in the local area. These Fusang people did not have the shadow of the Japanese in their impression, so they did not call it The other Japanese people are distinguished by Fusang people.

In addition to the Fusang people, there are also a small number of red-haired people. These red-haired people are also very different from the red-haired ghosts they know. They have short hair and are neatly groomed. The color of the hair is mostly golden or white, and there are also brown. And black, but without the red of the red-haired ghost, and spoke another tongue-twisting and nasal-sounding language, not the Spartan or Portuguese they knew.

These subordinates of Master Li Xian, no matter Fusang people or Westerners, can speak fluent Nanzhili official dialect, and everyone is tidy and tidy. Although the clothes are very different from those of the Dakui Dynasty, they are not at all messy beards and hair as they are in the local impression. Overall dirty feeling.

They wore a colorful uniform uniform, no robes, all short skirts, and a dazzling white and blue color called "uniform", which looked very mighty and handsome.

These people are the crew members of those steel battleships, and some are the guards responsible for land defense. They use a firearm similar to the firecracker, but the range and lethality are much more powerful than the firecracker.

Although he is the manager of the pier in name, Liu Fu has a feeling that since these steel battleships and Li Xianshi's subordinates appeared at the pier, there have been some strange changes in the whole pier.

After all, "Immortal Master Li", no matter how weird it is, it is the trick of the immortal family. It is normal for him not to understand.

At the same time, because of his status as a "dock manager", he was fortunate to go out to sea with the steel warship, and he had seen the power of the artillery on the ship. That time, it was to suppress bandits. Vicious pirates.

Because it is an island, it is not like intercepting other maritime merchants' ships in the vast sea, and you can't see the result with a single shot.

Seven or eight miles away, one could see white mushroom-like smoke rising from the island, and the rumbling thunder sounded as if thunder and lightning were nearby.

Liu Fu had been to that island before, and he knew that there was no vegetation on it, and they were all bare rocks harder than wrought iron. When the smoke and dust cleared, he watched with a telescope, which was kindly handed to him by the commander of the battleship, and was surprised to find those The mountain is full of pits and hollows.

To be sent away by this kind of artillery, at least it will be a joyous journey without much pain.

There was also a weapon on board that made his scalp tingle. After being shot at close range, the densely packed bullets could tear through the pirates and turn them into wooden dregs. The death was extremely miserable. There was no whole body at all, and the flesh and bones were a puddle of mud. , the smell of blood can attract sharks dozens of miles away after falling into the water.

Liu Fu has also been on the sea for more than ten years. He usually claims to be a man, but it is nothing to see those corpses that have been beaten into pieces. He has seen a lot of corpses. ...But those who were beaten in half and couldn't die quickly, he really vomited.

Mazu, Buddha, Taoist... He begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and finally carved a statue of Li Xu, worshiped secretly every day, and it took a long time to remove this article.

Usually, the sailors of these steel battleships are polite, no matter the "Han people", or those sailors from Fusang or later called Rakshasa, and there are even many female sailors... because of physical inconvenience and superstition No matter what country they are in, there are no female sailors on their native sea ships—even though there are many images of young girls or aunts in the totems or gods worshiped in various countries or regions.

……

In the second half of last year, my master suddenly started to contact his subordinates from all over the country and some good sea masters, and established a gang of "Da Kui Chao Maritime Trading Company"... Liu Fu has never been used to calling the company, although he has corrected it many times, But still think of this organization as a "gang".

The owner, Liu Zhanshan, is not easy to kill. On the contrary, he is benevolent and righteous, and he attaches great importance to the word "faith". Everyone who lives at sea praises him. He once had a righteous brother who died at sea in a shipwreck a few years ago. Liu Zhanshan took this adopted brother's old lady as his own mother, and took care of him for the rest of his life. Last year, he sent the old lady to a certain place in the Fusang Islands to avoid disaster.

Because of his own power, many people depend on him to do things, but Liu Zhanshan's control over some "recalcitrant people" is not particularly in place.

For example, Wang Feiyu of Leizhou and Xu Yiduo of Xinzhou, although they both regard Liu Zhanshan as the big boss and obey the orders of the big boss, they each have their own subordinates. Relying on the elder Xu Ge of the current dynasty, he is obedient on the surface, but in fact he has no heart with Liu Zhanshan behind the scenes.

There are more or less such people in Liu Zhanshan's forces.

If you don't use cruel methods, the head of the house, Liu Zhanshan, doesn't have the ability to command the heroes.

No one has it, and no one buys the rules of the imperial court and gentry on land at sea.

However, last year, under the advice of Li Xianshi, one is the shares, and the other is the company. The owner of the owner brought most of the sea owners into the "Da Kui Chao Offshore Company" to form a closer organizational relationship. Most of the powerful and friendly sea owners Take it under his command.

After a few months, those large Franji wooden sail warships that suddenly appeared brought these short-haired killers, and Li Xianshi also "transformed" nearly thirty steel warships, large and small.

The "Da Kuichao Maritime Trading Company" showed its real fangs and began to sell maritime trade licenses, imposing heavy taxes on the sea merchants and sea owners who hold the licenses. Without this license, the ships of Tianwang and Laozi could not break through the blockade. And as long as they are caught by these steel warships, they will all be taken to Taizhou Port and seized. The ship and cargo will be eaten, and only people will be released.

There are too many ships and goods. In just a few months, the original small seaport in Taizhou has been expanded hundreds of times. Master Li even resorted to magical methods to build the pier extremely strong, spectacular and tidy.

Those large machines that roared were regarded as the means of immortals, and countless foolish men and women burned incense and worshiped them every day.

These steel warships, even without the artillery and other weapons on board, the steel hull alone can kill any and unlimited number of wooden sailing ships in the sea with a collision, and sink as many as they come, and their own speed It was ridiculously fast.

In the past, the owner Liu Zhanshan took an average of two to three months to go back and forth to Fusang. This kind of steel warship only takes three days, and it takes only five days to reach Fusang Kyoto.

Therefore, no ship of the sea master can escape the blockade of these steel warships.

And those sea masters who held the license but still complained about being taxed, all of them died down at this time, and it was only a matter of asking the troupe to sing "The levy is good, the levy is wonderful, and everyone who levy is croaking".

Although Liu Zhanshan's "Da Kui Chao Maritime Trading Company" has eaten up most of the profits, these sea owners and merchants still have three to ten times more profits than the goods themselves. The profits are slightly less than before, but they are still full. Bowl full.

Moreover, the company collects money to do business, cleans up the pirates and sea bandits along several sea trade routes, and prohibits license holders from robbing each other. There is no such great sea trade risk as before. Within a month, word of mouth and hearts were gained again.

After all, the purpose of doing business is to ask for money. There is no such thing as a stubborn man. Now, the safety of business and trade can be greatly guaranteed. The profits eaten by the "Da Kui Chao Maritime Trading Company" should be regarded as the security fee paid. This reason lies in the This period of the world is very recognized by all businessmen.

Now the sea owners of more than ten provinces near the sea in the south have basically joined the "Da Kuizhao Maritime Trading Company", and some "Yankees" in the north who rely on their own backers are stubbornly refusing to join.

Liu Fu heard from his master that these Yankees might use their brains on the court of the Dakui Dynasty, mobilize troops to go south, or force the local guards to deal with the company's nominal boss (actually the official name is the general manager) , but the new vocabulary is still not remembered and used by Liu Fu), that is, Liu Zhanshan did it.

In the past, Liu Zhanshan still had to be afraid.

It can't solve the problem, but it solves the person who raised the problem. This method, regardless of the court or the sea masters like them, is actually very practical.

Otherwise, they would not have transferred their relatives and forces to a certain place in the Fusang Islands last year.

But this year, with the passing of time, Liu Zhanshan and his close subordinates even turned the other way in their hearts, hoping that the north and the south would not join in and the officials behind Haizhu would do this-they really wanted to see what the officers and soldiers did under Li Xianshi's hands. The scene where the iron bump was smashed and bloody, and then these sea masters had to bend down and kneel to buy a trade license with humiliation or tears in their eyes.

Anyway, after witnessing the iron monsters called "water tanks" in several local guards around Taizhou, they would rather rebel than have the courage to attack Liu Zhanshan.

……

Li Xu does not agree with the practice of the Great Discovery Age in history, so he will not copy the practice of that time.

The sand sculpture netizens who simply say "your country does not exist" in modern times have big enough brains, and instead of copying historical practices, there are many more moderate reforms and revolutionary methods. As Li Xu, who has a wide range of reading interests, he naturally reads A lot.

After the necessary force guarantee was in place, he began to plan other things.

As a modern person, even if you haven't watched "The Rise of Great Powers", you know the vital role of basic national education in improving national strength and productivity.

He didn't intend to use those comparative... indescribable methods in his own history, directly starting from the land or distribution methods.

How should I put it? First, he has money, or the corresponding means of production; second, he has technology. With these two things, he does not need to develop basic industries from scratch.
