The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Okay, deal!"

Andrews smiled and said:

"For the sake of your sincerity, I will have the Secretary of State for Trade approach you.

Finalize what you just did and write it all into the contract!"

"As soon as this contract is signed, we will be able to import resources from you right away. "

Belinlovsky felt a little dizzy in his head, but the matter was settled, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will contact the country and ask them to start preparing the goods immediately!"

......

Immediately after Belinlovsky left the palace, he sent a telegram to Mosco.

Tell them the good news that the cooperation has been negotiated, and then let them immediately start preparing what the Second Reich needs.

Including coal, iron ore, copper ore and other minerals, by the way, they also prepared a batch of grain, to see if this traditional foreign trade product can open the market of the second emperor "930" country.

When Mosco received the telegram, the Tsar and the ministers of the woolly bear were also very happy.

Being able to sell what they don't need and make the money they desperately need is a complete windfall for them.

So they immediately decided to requisition a large number of serfs in the country and let them go to the mines to open mines.

Because of the Tsar's decision, dozens of wives and millions of wives in the country were separated and their families were destroyed.

A large number of hungry serfs were forced to leave their homes and work in the mines.

In order to mine more ore and sell it to the Second Empire, they had extremely high requirements for the production of the mines.

This led to the fact that these serfs were very labor-intensive in the mines.

Such a high intensity of labor, coupled with a harsh living environment.

This led to the mass death of serfs and miners, but the tsar and his ministers did not care at all about the death of these people.

Anyway, some of the serfs of the hairy bear are that no matter how many of these people die, they will not feel distressed.

On the contrary, if the lack of miners leads to a decrease in ore production, which affects their income, then they will be very distressed.

So, for the mass death of the miners.

The Tsar's response was to recruit more serfs.

Anyway, for the tsar, these people were gray animals.

It's dead and it's dead, it doesn't matter.

On the contrary, it is the matter of making money that is the big thing and cannot be affected in any way.

In the case of the large-scale conscription of serfs by the tsar, the mineral production of hairy bears continued to rise.

In order to facilitate the transportation of these things to the Second Empire, Mao Xiong even built two more railways in the territory of Pineland.

And whether it's building a railway,

Or requisitioned millions of serfs for mining,

All of them have brought a great burden to the people of the woolly bear!

As a result, there was a lot of resentment among the people, and anger and dissatisfaction with the Tsar and his ministers were rapidly accumulating.

However, the tsar was immersed in the joy of earning money.

It seems that he is completely unaware of all this.

He only cares about the money he earns from the Second Reich every month!

"Your Majesty, good news, great news!"

The Minister of Trade also knew that the Tsar was very concerned about foreign trade.

So at the beginning of each month,

He will personally count and review the data of the previous month, and report it to the first time.

"Oh, tell me, how much money did you make last month?"

The Tsar can't wait!

When he saw the watch in the trade secretary's hand, he wished he could have a pair of clairvoyant eyes.

"Your Majesty, our trade with the Hanns continues to rise dramatically this month.

This month's revenue reached £5 million for the first time, more than double the previous month!"

The Minister of Trade said excitedly.

When the tsar heard this number, he immediately closed his mouth with joy.

"Yes, yes!"

"Five million pounds a month, that's 60 million pounds a year!"

"With so much money, the empire can do a lot of things!"

As soon as the tsar heard this figure, he immediately could not sit still. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He couldn't help but get down from the throne and walk back and forth in the palace.

I calculated what the money could do!

First of all, we must make up for the loud noise owed to the army!

Otherwise, if the army mutinies, it will not be a joke!

In addition to this, the reconstruction of the Navy costs money, and the replacement of weapons by the Army. []

Moreover, the salaries owed to the ministers before must also be repaid, otherwise they will stop doing it, and no one will deal with the following matters.

Deducting the expenses of these places, the tsar was dismayed to find that there seemed to be not much left of the 60 million pounds.

"There's still not enough money!"

The Tsar said with emotion.

When the trade minister heard the words of the tsar, he couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat.

60 million pounds a year is not enough, the tsar is really greedy.

But he didn't dare to say such things, so he hurriedly spoke:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the amount of trade we have with the Second Empire is still growing steadily........

If this trend continues, it may not only earn 60 million a year, maybe 70 million, 80 million or even more!"

The words of the Minister of Trade made the Tsar's heart bloom and his eyes lit up.

"If it's really what you say it is, that's good!"

......

The Second Empire, the capital of the city.

Since signing a contract with a hairy bear a few months ago.

Andrews has been keeping an eye on the amount of trade between the two countries.

I saw that the trade amount between the two countries has increased rapidly from hundreds of thousands of pounds a month at the beginning to five million pounds a month now.

A relieved smile appeared on his face!

Yes, things went even more smoothly than I expected!

The emperor's joy was a little incomprehensible to the ministers below.

In particular, the Secretary of State for Trade:

"Your Majesty, we currently maintain a trade deficit with hairy bears, with a deficit of more than £3 million per month!"

He couldn't help but complain: "The woolly bear sells us too much, and we can sell too little to the woolly bear."

If this continues, the empire will continue to suffer losses in such a deal!"

Suffer?

Andrews laughed, disagreeing with this statement.

In terms of trade, they are indeed on the deficit side.

However, a trade deficit does not mean a loss.

After all, they exchanged the money for a lot of resources from the woolly bear. 5.5 These resources are always to be purchased, and no matter what country they are purchased from, they all cost the same money.

If you buy it from a woolly bear, it is not only cheaper, but also more cost-effective.

So, even from a purely trade point of view.

There is no loss in such a deal!

What's more, Andrews's arrangement has deeper strategic considerations.

Increasing the amount of trade with the Furry Bear will make the Furry Bear a huge dependency on the Empire.

Once this dependency is established, it can be so difficult to quit!

When the time comes, the sun never sets and the Gauls want to win over the woolly bears.

How much should they pay to make Mao Xiong give up such a big owner?

And in order to keep this income, the woolly bear will never dare to easily fall to the Entente.

In this way, most of the threat to the east of the empire can be resolved!

The empire's trade with the woolly bear is actually an iron chain that holds the woolly bear!
