I opened a mall in ancient times

Rubber looks unremarkable, but it is widely used in practice, and it is also very important. It is widely used as a strategic material.

There was even a war over rubber in the era when Luo Chao was growing.

One can imagine how important this thing is.

Of course, the current technology can't keep up, and the rubber can't be treated in a particularly meticulous way, so we can only use the simplest technology.

However, this simple technology is already very advanced in the current era, but mass production is more troublesome.

Siam is a vassal state of Sheng Kingdom. It maintains independence politically and formally, but it is subordinate to itself financially and diplomatically, and provides free protection for it. ①

Sheng Kingdom nominally protects Siam and shelters Siam, but to a certain extent, Siam is actually attached to Sheng Kingdom. If Sheng Kingdom needs them to provide these rubber trees, they will not even order them to plant rubber trees in large quantities. May refuse.

Even other Southeast Asian vassal states must agree.

Southeast Asia is the largest rubber producing area near Sheng Country. Although the southernmost part of Sheng Country can also be planted, the area is very small and the output cannot keep up. It is best to ship it directly from Southeast Asia.

As long as Emperor Qing saw the benefits of these rubbers, it would be better for him to show up than anything else.

In addition to being usable in daily life, Luo Chaochao can also tell Emperor Qing a whole bunch of benefits in military affairs, people's livelihood, and even medicine.

"This matter needs to be personally informed to His Majesty." The magistrate of Suzhou City also heard about this matter, so he took the time to meet with Luo Chaochao. Luo Chaochao took the rubber products he had made during this period of time to the Suzhou magistrate. Take a look at these supplies and show what they are used for.

Suzhou Zhizhou is his own, so there is no need to worry about the other party's greed for honor and taking away the credit that belongs to Luo Chaochao.

And Zhizhou himself is very keen to be sent to this place. After checking the rubber bands, raincoats, and even rubber shoes that Luo Chaochao brought, he pondered for a while, and then got a

These are rough rubber with sulfur added and heated, simple to make but quite effective.

The only problem is that if you stay in the factory for a long time, it will be harmful to your body, and you need to use a gas mask.

The gas mask also has a part that needs to be made of rubber.

"It takes two months to go back and forth, at least one and a half months." Luo Chaochao said, "The problem is that it takes a long time to go from the capital to the south, and then to Siam, even if it takes more than two months by boat. Too much time wasted going back and forth.”

"You mean...both together?"

Luo Chao Chao nodded.

"You are really... not shy at all." Suzhou Zhizhou sighed, "Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's suspicion?"

In his capacity, it was heartbreaking to say this to Luo Chaoxi at this time, and Luo Chaoxi didn't know whether he wanted to talk to him from the bottom of his heart or to find out his own problems, but felt that the other party was extremely enthusiastic.

Don't say anything else, you can't be caught by him.

If it's possible, Luo Chaochao doesn't want to play Infernal Affairs with them, but there's no other way. At this time, the leader just likes to be suspicious. Even if Luo Chaochao hits a straight ball, the opponent will think that there is something wrong with him. other concerns.

However, the governor of Suzhou is very simple, even if he regards Luo Chaochao as his own, he can't help but raise a few points.

His idea is actually very simple, that is, Luo Chaoxi doesn't hide his secrets at all, he presents all the good things together, and keeps nothing in his hands. In case something happens, Luo Chaoxi has nothing to save his life What are the means?

These things that Luo Chaochao brought out could save Luo Chaochao's life at critical moments.

It is true that everyone is loyal to the emperor, but life-saving is also necessary.

"I can't say that. It's meaningful that these things can make Sheng Kingdom better, and..." Luo Chaoxi lowered his voice, "You also know the recent changes in Beidi, right?"

The officials of the southern sect can't know these news, but what is everyone's status, the news came from them, how could they not know?

Suzhou Zhizhou nodded.

"These things are useful." Luo Chao Chao hinted.

"You really don't pay attention." Suzhou Zhizhou looked at Luo Chaoxi and hesitated to speak.

"This is for the Kingdom of Sheng."

This is not just for the sake of Sheng Country, but Luo Chaoxi found that every time Sheng Country becomes stronger, his strength will become stronger.

This became especially evident after his awakening.

The luck of this country is protected by Luo Chao. The stronger the country, the stronger Luo Chao will be.

This kind of strength is not to add cultivation to Luo Chao Chao, but more like a BUFF added to the character in the game.

The main body attributes remain unchanged, but with the superposition of BUFF, Luo Chaochao's strength will become stronger with the superposition of BUFF.

If Sheng Kingdom is destroyed and disappears, the buff on Luo Chaochao will disappear, but it will not damage Luo Chaochao's own cultivation.

If Sheng Country disappears, and another country replaces Sheng Country, and it gets better and better, then the BUFF will be stacked on Luo Chaoxie again.

And this kind of BUFF will not disappear because of leaving the current plane, and even superimpose.

It's just that the BUFF of the ancient plane is added more.

In the final analysis, Luo Chaochao is also for himself.

However, even if Luo Chaochao didn't do anything, it wouldn't affect him, Luo Chaochao was still doing it.

It can also be said that it is for the people of this world.

Everyone wants to see the country become better and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The discussion here is very good, and even the expectations for the future have been made, and the people under him have been arranged.

But what rulers like Emperor Qing hate most is that their subordinates make decisions for themselves, so they must make choices in advance, pave the way for each choice in advance, and then hand over the right to choose and decide to the ruler.

And this choice can't be given too obvious.

Fortunately, these officials who have been in the court for several years are all good people, and they can complete the preliminary preparations by themselves without Luo Chaoxi's personal teaching.

As soon as Luo Chaochao left, his back foot was arranged.

Luo Chaochao arranged a few people to pay attention to the fact that Luo Chaochao misses the very convenient transportation in the modern plane and the Xiuxian plane every time he runs around. Now the useful time is wasted on the road, which is a waste of time.

When Luo Chaochao and the others went back, they were riding in a remodeled carriage. Luo Chaoxi and the others were no longer inhumans who would feel uncomfortable because of such a little bump, but they went on their way smoothly.

That is to say, there is nothing to do now, Luo Chaochao has time to spend here, otherwise he would have left his picks to go to the plane of cultivation.

The plane of comprehension is also in a stable period, and the main conflict is on Fengbiehe's side. It is related to Luo Chaochao, which is to install signals in various residences of the human race and open their own express delivery points to every corner of the continent.

Even if something goes wrong, they can use more violent means to solve these problems, but the ancient plane can't.

The timeline of the plane of comprehension is too long, and it can be decades or hundreds of years at every turn. Compared with that side, the progress of the ancient plane seems to be fast-forwarded. After staying in the comprehension plane for a while, something happened here.

So compared to that side, Luo Chaochao was more worried about the ancient plane, who made war happen in the past two years.In early summer, Luo Chaochao hurried back to the capital again.

Compared with the last time I left, the capital has undergone earth-shaking changes. When Luo Chaochao and his team entered Beijing, they could still see stalls selling smoothies, milk tea, and fruits on the side of the road. The woman is wearing a light and breathable cotton dress, with the sleeves rolled up, revealing her white arms.

There are also the familiar but different clothing styles.

The light and fairy-like dresses popular in the south have become popular in the capital, and even lace and layered skirts are popular.

These are not available in the south, and it is estimated that they are new styles created by the cloth shop in the capital and the designers there.

If nothing else, it's really creative.

Luo Chaochao stood at the gate of the city, looked at the golden barrier that was as thick as the city wall outside the capital, and smiled contentedly.

"This is your name." The soldiers guarding the city also changed into more sweat-absorbing cotton jackets. Although they still need to wear thick armor, they are much more refreshing than before. Luo Chaochao can even see the inside of the opponent's clothes A small piece of Velcro.

Quite surprised.

"Thank you."

When their group came back, there was no sound, and only some stakeholders knew that they were back.

After Luo Chaoxi came back, he didn't go back to his shop, but went back to the Luo Mansion where no one lived for a long time, changed into his clothes, and ran into the palace with the things he brought back from thousands of miles away.

Emperor Qing had already told others in advance that this time the person who came to pick up Luo Chaochao was Eunuch Cui's new apprentice, Eunuch Xia, who seemed young, only in his early 20s, and when he saw Luo Chaochao hurriedly greeted him. go.

"Lord Luo, this servant has finally waited for you." Seeing Luo Chaochao, Eunuch Xia hurriedly said auspicious words, and asked the other eunuchs who followed him to bring in all the things Luo Chaochao had brought.

Before bringing them to Emperor Qing, these things still need to be carefully inspected to see if there are any dangerous weapons that could harm Emperor Qing.

Compared with the outside of the palace that has undergone earth-shaking changes, the inside of the palace has not changed much. Luo Chaochao can't go to the harem, so naturally he can't see the beautiful concubines in the harem, and the clothes of the maids are also the same as before. , but it is almost the same as a few years ago.

After going through a series of procedures, Luo Chaochao stood outside the Imperial Study Room together with the little eunuchs carrying trays behind them.

"Lord Luo, please wait for a while, Your Majesty and several other adults are discussing matters in the Imperial Study Room."

Unfortunately, Luo Chao came here, it was still in the afternoon, and it happened to be when the sun was shining in the afternoon, so he nodded and stood under the sun for a while.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, only three or four minutes, the door of the imperial study room opened, and several ministers in court uniforms walked out from inside.

In terms of official position and identity, Luo Chaoxi was not as good as them, so he consciously moved aside to salute a few people, and only then went in when he saw that everyone had come out.

The door slowly closed.

"Who is that?" one of the middle-aged men in their fifties asked.

The young man standing at the door just now was wearing ordinary clothes, and his demeanor was not like that of ordinary people.

"That's Boss Luo Chaoxiluo of Jiushui Commercial Firm." Eunuch Cui replied respectfully, "This time he came back from Jiangnan specially."
