The Desert God of Death in Douluo

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a pier.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi and Zeng Yixin were standing here, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the endless sea.

"Yixin, do you think the sea will really become our back garden in the future?"

Ning Fengzhi held the ceremonial staff with one hand and clasped the other behind his back, looking at the steamboats whining on the pier.

"Why not."

Zeng Yixin chuckled.

"The legend of Poseidon is almost gone with the wind. Now the master of the sea is Nautilus, but he has no other requirements. He only needs to throw some money into the sea when he goes to sea. He is the real god, and He is not a strong person with all kinds of emotions, he won’t care even if we proclaim ourselves gods at sea, he is just the embodiment of the rules.”

This was not the first time that Ning Fengzhi had heard Zeng Yixin's explanation, but he still could not understand the meaning of the God of Rules and the God of Elements. In his eyes, these things were like thunder but no rain, like rain of gold coins, which he could not understand. But couldn't refuse.

Shaking his head to get rid of this weird question, Ning Fengzhi changed the topic elsewhere.

"Our merchant ships have discovered Poseidon Island several times, but they were driven away every time. If it weren't for the fact that the employees on our ship are basically locals from the coast, they would probably be in trouble to come back."

After talking about this issue, Ning Fengzhi frowned.

"It doesn't matter, now is not the time."

Zeng Yixin held on to the railing and looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Those people on Poseidon Island are not engaged in production and only accept donations from nearby islanders and locals along the coast. Now that the majesty of Poseidon has disappeared, their faith will naturally disappear. As long as the common people know that we can make them eat For those who are well-fed, clothed, and living a good life, with a secure and promising life, the lifeblood of Poseidon Island is naturally in our hands."

Having said this, Zeng Yixin sneered.

"At that time, it's not us who begs them for cooperation, it's them who beg us. But having said that, the number of titled Douluo on their island is at least as good as one's palm, so there's no need to make the relationship too tense. We're here to make money. Yes, Uncle Ning will have to worry more about propriety when someone comes from Poseidon Island."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. Their goal was to obtain inexhaustible sea soul beasts and extremely rich marine resources. There was no need to conflict with Poseidon Island.

Nowadays, Poseidon's belief is gradually declining. It is not difficult to bypass Poseidon Island to exploit marine resources. If it can be justified and natural, it is best. If not, it doesn't matter. As long as they can squeeze out time for development, it is great for them. of.

"The steam warships have been assembled one after another some time ago, but it will still take some time for them to be launched into the water. However, Elder Lou Gao has made a breakthrough in the research on the inscription of the overall magic protection array on the warships. This batch The new steam warships may not be able to keep up, but the next batch of steam warships are expected to be installed."

Ning Fengzhi added.

Zeng Yixin nodded after hearing this, otherwise it cannot be said that Poseidon Island is basically useless. Rampant pirates are nothing new, but over the years, the only contribution Poseidon Island has made is to barely stabilize the offshore Note that the pirates on the route from the area to Poseidon Island are only barely stable, and the number of pirates is still quite large.

As for other places, it is no exaggeration to say that the rampant pirates and their huge numbers can be called appalling.

In times of famine, not only the refugees will be hungry, but also the pirates.Rushing onto the land to plunder, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes is their specialty.

But this is not a big deal to the gentlemen who are protected by soul masters in the city. The refugees are just like the weeds on the roadside, who cares how they died.

However, since Zeng Yixin wants to open up this unexplored virgin land of sea transportation, it is naturally necessary to have strong force as support. He is determined to make this economic artery strong enough to transfuse blood for the entire star power.

Ning Fengzhi didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed.Zeng Yixin asked curiously why Ning Fengzhi was laughing.

After Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Zeng Yixin also laughed. From time to time, heaven and earth all work together, maybe that's the case.

After Nautilus was awakened from the sea and became the collector of tithes, the ones who suffered the most were not the fishermen in the off-season, but the pirates who wandered the sea doing nothing all day long.

In the past, on any pier, there would always be a few fishing boats that would encounter pirates. If they were lucky, they would lose money and avoid disaster, but if they were unlucky, they would never come back.

But since that day, maybe not a single fishing boat in the entire dock has encountered a pirate for three to five days.Not only that, but the number of fish caught during this year’s peak season seems to be slightly more than in previous years.

The people who were affected by the disaster could barely survive with the donations from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. The people who were not affected by the disaster would pay homage to the Lord of the Boundless Sea, the Red-Eyed Giant in the Deep Sea, and the Pirates every time before going to sea. Punisher Nautilus, in order to ask for his blessings. For a time, the faith of Poseidon ebbed.

The spread of Nautilus's name was naturally due to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, no, it should be said that it was the Nine Treasures Fisheries that contributed to the spread.

Zeng Yixin turned around and saw that a four-story building made of concrete and other building materials had risen from the ground at an unknown time. The overall decoration was painted in a mixture of blue and white, and four words were engraved on the top. Big gilded characters.

Jiubao Fisheries.

Although it looks very simple, this does not prevent it from becoming a new holy place for coastal residents.

Jiubao Fisheries is involved in everything from marine insurance to fishing tools, boat rentals, and the purchase and sale of seafood.

During the days when pirates were almost extinct, Ning Fengzhi boldly began to purchase seafood, relying on the Jiubao Glazed Sect's strong sales network to sell seafood to various inland areas.

You know, steamboats can not only run on the sea, but also on rivers.

Through a strong business network and bold strategic operations, Jiubao Fisheries has successfully established a foothold in the fishery field. At the same time, due to its ability to quickly export fresh seafood to the mainland, Jiubao Fisheries has just begun to have a vague potential. The momentum to become the leader in the industry.

Zeng Yixin was not surprised by this.

As the old saying goes, Douluo Dalu said that Potian is an agricultural society. The living standards of the upper class, especially those fragmentary soul guides, have no necessary connection with the actual productivity of the lower class. With the development of science and technology as the primary productive force, in all aspects It is very normal to feel comfortable in the field.

Back in the office building of Jiubao Fishery, Zeng Yixin dropped a bombshell to Ning Fengzhi.

To put it simply, it is the details of large-scale seawater salt production and coarse salt purification methods.

There were just a few words, but after Ning Fengzhi heard it, his breathing became heavier, and his nostrils unconsciously expanded more than a circle.

Zeng Yixin usually doesn't take things out. If he does, he will kill someone.

Seeing Zeng Yixin's calm expression, Ning Fengzhi even became a little angry.

salt.

Just such a word, tied to the lifeblood of the two empires.

What Ning Fengzhi has to do is very simple, which is to pull the lifeblood of the two empires while not letting the two empires desperately fight against him.

Regardless of whether it is Tiandou or Xingluo, selling illegal salt is a severe punishment.

The Tiandou Empire stipulates that those who sell illegal salt will be punished with a hundred rods and three years in prison. If the crime of having weapons is increased by one degree, and if the crime of falsely accusing others is increased by third degree, those who resist arrest will be beheaded, and the vehicles and ships carrying illegal salt will be confiscated.

The Star Luo Empire was even more harsh. Salt dealers would be sentenced to two years in prison and given all their property. After being punished for seventy years, they would be sent to the Great Salt Fields as slaves, and they would die in the salt fields for the rest of their lives.

But even so, the sale of illegal salt is still common.

Taking Zeng Yixin’s hometown of Kasztat Province as an example, there are [-] anti-smuggling checkpoints, such as the Swain North Gate anti-smuggling card, the Hidetta Tuo anti-smuggling card, the Kamioka anti-smuggling card, the Pingtukou anti-smuggling card, and the Renshi anti-smuggling card. , Verus South Gate anti-smuggling card, Aatrox anti-smuggling card, etc.There are seventeen anti-smuggling cards in one province alone. How many should there be in a country?This is evident from the proliferation of illegal salt.

Of course, Zeng Yixin didn't want Ning Fengzhi to fight against the two empires with his head raised right now. After all, he was his father-in-law. If he really did that, Ning Rongrong would probably be able to fight him with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Therefore, Zeng Yixin was in Ning Fengzhi's ear again, emphasizing the two words he said before. After listening, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but suddenly realized and smiled happily.
