Make the Most of Victoria's Advantages~ / Kazimierz's Golden Horse Girl.

However, while Huang Cao could indeed profit from dumping steel raw materials, he would not achieve the necessary influence.

This is because it not only benefits oneself, but also allows other nobles who want a share of the pie to make a fortune.

Therefore, they must create something that has almost no value or is not linked to any physical substance in order to deplete their wealth.

So the question is, what can do that?

After thinking for a long time, Huang Cao finally turned his attention to luxury goods.

The Renaissance has already given everyone the answer to why people want to make money.

I came into this world to enjoy it, so why should I be bound by rules and regulations?

Everyone has this thought, let alone businessmen who manipulate capital.

"Since traditional capitalism is squeezing out the space for the aristocracy, I'll take advantage of both."

"The Kazimierz Knight Grand Prix hasn't even started yet, so why can't I plan ahead?"

It would be a shame not to make use of such a good model for the future.

Capital wants to enjoy itself, right? Then I'll make you addicted to it, so addicted you can't extricate yourself.

In later stages, capital may have already transcended money, but in Kazimierz today, capital is still simply the accumulation of currency and resources.

Organizing the Knight Grand Prix in Kazimierz is not too difficult; the key is how to get the whole population involved.

"It's you I choose! Knight Idol Project!"

Amuse yourself to death, Kazimierz!

"Pure entertainment has no say. The military-industrial complex built on Knight Grand Prix is the most important thing. Fighting requires equipment. This is an eternal law."

Originally, Huang Cao intended to create a false economy, just like the tulip mania of the past.

However, this is not the case that you can't directly apply the methods from your past life; otherwise, you'll only be at a disadvantage.

Victoria did have a need for spices, but the nobles here didn't need tulips.

As expected, a month later, Huang Cao received a warning from the Kazimierz Commercial Union and was sued under so-called antitrust laws.

Faced with the warning from the Kazimierz Commercial Union, Huang Cao chose to divert attention from the enemy's territory by sending a large sum of money to the Commercial Union's rivals, the knights who were originally affiliated with them.

The Commercial Union and the Knights are ostensibly partners, but in reality, a rift has long existed between them, and the latter's profits are dwindling under the pressure of capital.

As things have developed, many knights have lost their lands in addition to their noble titles.

The appearance of the Huang Cao was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, and besides, the knights still represented the high-end combat power of Kazimierz.

Modern Commercial Union would never dare to directly turn against the ancient knights and nobles.

Chapter 213 Leveraging Victoria's Strengths

The capitalist aristocracy in Kazimierz felt like the sky was falling.

Where did this living Yama come from? We can't beat him at all!

Compared to Master Huang's utopia, the economic scale of Kazimierz is simply insignificant.

Even within this world, apart from Victoria, Yan Country, and Iberia which is currently in its golden age, no other country's total economic output can compare with Master Huang's utopia.

More importantly, Victoria was on Master Huang's side, so with a single command, the nobles of Kazimierz were instantly plunged into misery.

With just a casual command, Huang Cao could bankrupt countless newly risen minor nobles.

This is dumping.

Moreover, it wasn't just nobles who went bankrupt; countless farmers were so frightened by the goods that they couldn't sell their raw materials, and their economies instantly fell into dire straits.

Huang Cao expressed his regret over the farmers' bankruptcy, but he would never stop there, because he had already prepared a way out for them.

When these farmers go bankrupt on a large scale, he will naturally introduce corresponding policies, which can be seen as a source of labor and public support.

The difference between capitalism and feudalism lies in the fact that labor can circulate freely without any restrictions.

How many people you can attract depends entirely on how much you're willing to pay, although in most cases you try your best to keep prices low, since you're ultimately driven by profit.

Therefore, as long as Huang Cao recruits these bankrupt farmers into his factory and they experience utopian abundance, they will naturally become his pioneers in Trailblaze Kazimierz.

I represent civilization!

Moreover, this is a war of life and death, and there is absolutely no mercy involved.

Could World War I have ended because of one person's life?

The moment that young man fired his gun, his future was no longer something he could control.

A gunpowder barrel can indeed explode at the slightest touch, but under safe conditions, it is perfectly safe if there are no sparks.

There are two sides to this story.

The situation in Kazimierz is constantly changing. The knights, who were originally suffering from the oppression of capital, rose up the moment they obtained Utopia.

Nowadays, Kazimierz's national consciousness is not very strong, so he didn't care that Master Huang was a foreigner.

Especially for those at the top, the only thing that can affect relationships is interests.

Huang Cao swiftly spurred his horse forward, uniting all the feudal knights who were willing to join him.

They provided them with money and food to help them fight against the Commercial Union, and even helped many nobles redeem the land they had sold.

In return, Huang Cao would work with these knights and nobles to develop the original territory.

There was one noble knight he cared about very much, and that was Nearl.

The Nearl Family... when did they start to fall on hard times?

The original family of Nearl were nobles, possessing Pegasus blood. I think they were military nobles.

If we rank them by age, Margaret Nearl should have been born around 1070.

It's only been a little over 1000 years since then, so there are still at least 70 years to go.

The two previous Draco will probably not have offspring for another fifty years or so.

Moreover, she had pressured herself before, and the birth rate was already quite low, so this timing is normal.

But speaking of which, Wellington, as the duke who conquered the capital of Gaul, was already this old by the time of the main storyline?

Okay, judging from the character art, it does look quite old.

Therefore, the current head of the Nearl Family should be Margaret's grandfather's generation.

Or perhaps her grandfather was just born?

Their ancestors must have been wealthy, but their fortunes declined due to financial reasons, and they were later rescued by Margaret's parents.

Then, due to the sudden disappearance of their parents, the entire family was threatened again, and in the end, the burden had to be placed on their uncle.

The fate of the Nearl Family has truly been fraught with misfortune...

Fortunately, since it had been prosperous for some time, the contemporary Nearl did not sell off all of its assets.

These lands have also been bought back by Master Huang, awaiting joint development in the future.

It has to be said that these capitalists are really heartless; buying these lands really cost Master Huang a lot of money.

"Wait until I get back and earn all this money, then see if you'll still be crying."

The current forbearance is for a better revenge in the future. Master Huang can't wait to see these people go bankrupt.

I want to eat roasted millionaire every day!

This is such a wonderful thing!

However, in order to better understand the situation, Huang Cao plans to go to Kazimierz to meet with military personnel.

Capital has not yet fully penetrated the military in Kazimierz, after all, how could businessmen be willing to go to the front lines and charge into battle?

The merchants of Kazimierz believed. "I earn money to enjoy it, not to risk my life." This was a point of contention within the company.

Some people want to seize more power, while others just want to lie low in the background.

Power often comes with obligations, and these are not obligations that can be avoided at will.

Therefore, the military in Kazimierz has always maintained a high degree of integrity.

Furthermore, because Ursus has always been eyeing the border region covetously, and they are also suffering from the pressure of capital, they urgently need an external force to disrupt the balance.

The reason why these knights dare not take action against the Commercial Union is that the country is in a period of rapid development, and taking action against them could jeopardize economic development and cause it to fall behind other countries.

The knights knew that the Commercial Union was a cancer in the country, but they had no better way to eliminate this scourge. Removing it could lead to massive losses or even annexation by other countries.

The merchants in Kazimierz shared this idea: if they could wipe out the knights in one fell swoop, what would they use to fight Ursus when he arrived?

If there were no foreign threats, Kazimierz would be in civil war by now.

As the saying goes:

I have no money, you have money. If I rob you, I'll have money.

It is also thanks to this great era.

This is the golden age of Terra's rapid development, and no country is likely to start a war casually.

Except for Gaul have lost their minds and think they're incredibly awesome.

Three days later, Huang Cao arrived in Kazimierz and successfully met with the military leader.

"Hello, Mr. Huang, you can also call me by my surname, Karol."

The golden steed grasped the young man's hand, its tone sincere, as if it had seen a savior.

Such hospitality truly left Huang Cao bewildered.

I can indeed change the current domestic situation in Kazimierz, but shouldn't you be wary of me?

But then he saw the greed in Karol's eyes.

Chapter 214 The Golden Horse Girl of Kazimierz.

It's not a relationship of mutual exploitation, I told you it's not that easy.

It is well known that triangles are stable.

Knowing they could no longer resist the growth of capital, the knights and nobles of Kazimierz planned to introduce capital from another source.

Given the current situation, it is simply impossible for Huang Cao to reach a reconciliation with the local Kazimierz capital forces.

Those who aspire to be friends with capital... will only face one consequence: being swallowed up.

Gazort famously said, "My friend, it's delicious!"

The knights' plan was crystal clear.

While Master Huang and the Kazimierz Commercial Union were locked in a fierce battle.

The knights can then seize the fruits of victory under various pretexts, eradicating the scourge without affecting the country's development.

Two ways to cook a fish, but can your stomach really handle it?

Huang Cao smiled but didn't say anything. If these knights could really succeed, they wouldn't be overshadowed by the Commercial Union in the future.

At Karol's invitation, Huang Cao briefly attended the cocktail party before returning to the room they had arranged for him.

"This is the first time I've participated in diplomatic affairs in this capacity."

Lying on the soft, large bed that rivaled his own territory, Huang Cao suddenly realized something was amiss.

When did I become so rule-abiding?

In the past, he never went through such channels when entering other countries, whether it was Victoria, Sargon, or even Kazdel. Master Huang wanted to cause trouble, he would never notify the locals.

It must be said that as the Speaker of Victoria, Huang Cao has indeed picked up some of the Victorians way of doing things.

So I'm about to start causing trouble!

Nothing unexpected happened at the dinner party.

After all, this was the knight's manor, and the capitalists of the Commercial Union would have to think twice before causing trouble.

They might not be able to eradicate the entire Commercial Union, but they could certainly rip off a few people occasionally for fun.

However, before Master Huang could make a move, the sound of very rhythmic high heels clicking on the floor suddenly rang out from outside the door.
