Chapter 1794: Foreign Capital

The initial arrival did not cause much waves.

Lu Pingan and his party chose the uninhabited area in the data, or in other words, the wasteland that no one cares about.

This is a choice to avoid trouble as much as possible. The party has long been prepared for a hard battle, but after really arriving, they found that this is an overly rich world.

"Delicious fruits the size of rugby balls are hanging on the branches, and fat herbivorous beasts can't even hide from people. The stream is full of delicious aquatic creatures. This place may not be used to shoot wilderness survival, but more suitable for wilderness kitchens..."

As the logistics team of the life system, Lu Pingan is actually ready to shape the ecosystem from scratch.

They brought a large number of animal species, seeds, fertilizers, and veterinary drugs. They originally planned to start farming from breeding, first to build a botanical garden and a greenhouse area, and realize the self-production and self-sale of various grains.

This is also a routine. The grains and grasses of the same origin world will mutate to some extent in foreign lands, but as long as the appropriate high-quality breeding is selected, at least a few edible ontological grains can be grown.

Maybe it doesn't taste good, but it's filling and won't kill you.

The next step is mass production, giving latecomers a guaranteed food option.

Of course, this is limited to extraordinary people. Even a zero-level chicken can crush ordinary people in terms of survival adaptability.

Hundreds of pigs, cattle and sheep were also brought in for breeding. Originally, they were planned to be raised locally, but it seems that they are completely unnecessary.

"It's delicious. This meat is chewier than beef and more fragrant than pork when roasted."

The meat of the seemingly huge beast tastes surprisingly good. Just add a little salt and seasoning, and you'll be full of oil.

Natural resources, including wild meat supplies, are too abundant. In such an environment, it seems that the process of breeding livestock can be completely omitted.

Although it is good news for the entire foreign land development, it may be bad news for Lu Ping'an's team...

"You can get food easily in the local area. Whoever buys our goods will buy our beasts..."

The beast tamer team suffered some setbacks and felt that their existence value was challenged... But soon, they were hit more and more.

"The local beasts are strong and relatively easy to tame. In fact, the locals have tamed many war beasts. In this regard, we may not be as good as them. I suggest that instead of blindly researching here, it is better to directly learn local technology and spells, and then improve on their achievements..."

Just like the Green Planet, for the short-handed foreign visitors, the convenient mass production of tamed beasts is a very useful helper.

Lu Ping'an and his team did not rush to explore because that was not their main job.

A large amount of materials and manpower were invested in the construction of the new city. A medium-sized city with an expected population of over one million is under construction.

For the same war and strategy, some people play fast-paced action games, some play soul games with one life and the possibility of sudden death at any time, some play strategic management of logistics strategies, some play strategic chess, and some even play spy games or Monopoly.

When the general trend takes shape, facing the tide of the times that sweeps everyone, everyone and every organization has their own place.

Large organizations cannot lose money in foreign exploration, because what they do is not an adventure RPG that seems pleasant but is actually a gamble of life and luck, but a super-profitable scalper business of selling water and shovels to gold diggers.

"I don't know if they make money, but I am sure I can make money. When I didn't get in touch with it, I really didn't expect it to be so profitable..."

When Lu Ping'an really entered this industry, he was heartbroken by the initial investment like flowing water, but was shocked by the expected returns.

Let alone a return on investment in half a year, if you are lucky, you can make a return on investment when the first batch of explorers come, and then it will be pure profit.

It turns out that the outrageous customs duties for foreign exploration were not simply taken away by the East Country. The various Orthodox Churches of the partners took at least 40%, and they continued to take them.

Moreover, this income is quite stable and hidden.

Those foreign explorers spent a lot of money in the early stage of arriving in foreign lands.

These include consumption in residential areas, purchase of local medicines and materials, and purchase of various special services, including but not limited to local divine grace, guide services, intelligence support, etc.

This is a benefit, but it is not free.

It can be said that as long as you hold the first landing point of the descenders and explorers, it is equivalent to allowing those super-rich people to consume continuously.

And what kind of service can be provided to these compatriots depends entirely on the ability of the early explorers. When the number of garrisons increases in the later stage, the better the garrisons, the more explorers will come, and the more prosperous it will be.

Lu Ping'an didn't think about it at first, thinking that those foreign garrisons were the assets of the locals, but now looking back, aren't they all the industries of the great God Churches?

These services are provided by local owners. With the commission plus taxes, it is no pressure to take 20% of the total value. It is precisely this kind of commission that is long-lasting and no one will pay attention to it.

That's not all. After the implementation of the Nirvana Plan in the East, the materials brought back by the explorers have to pay heavy taxes, part of which is the ship fee... But the ships are also provided by the churches, and they will be sent to the areas of their partners first.

When the tax is finally divided, the Orthodox Church of the exploration will also get a part.

"No wonder they don't do the business of killing people. This is indeed faster than robbery..."

After really sorting out all this, Lu Pingan suddenly realized.

Not to mention the long-term, just setting up a bunch of craftsman shops and magic potion shops in this new city, purchasing materials from explorers, and then making finished products and selling them, it is a huge profit.

No wonder the new era of the Orthodox Churches stopped fighting internally and grabbing territory in the country. Compared with the profits from the outside world, the things inside are really nothing.

That is an increase, and an unlimited increase.

Not to mention that if a large urban cluster or even civilization is built in the long run, once it is really done, the final "tax payer" will not only be limited to Earth explorers, but also the aliens incorporated into the pan-Earth system will become part of the entire system.

"This is equivalent to outsourcing the government's responsibilities to the Orthodox Church. How much they earn depends on them. Uh, it's a bit like the governor of the immigrant planet in the era of interstellar immigration..."

Lu Pingan tried not to use the overly sensitive "colony" to describe it, but there is no difference in essence.

And this income and this responsibility were not something that individuals and small and medium-sized organizations could bear before. Only those large churches that were granted the authority of the Orthodox God by the East Country were qualified.

After all, in a sense, they also have to represent the East Country and humanity and communicate with foreign civilizations, so it is not good to have a poor level.

"It's a bit like a licensed privateer..."

Another rather subtle name, the "human governors" who got the franchise did start to manage their own territory.

This is a sure win... It is uncertain whether the hero who defeats the demon king will make money or win, but the owner of the weapon store who sells weapons to the hero, the king and the village chief who give the hero tasks, will definitely make money, after all, if this one doesn't work, there will be the next one.

As it goes, Lu Ping'an is working hard here, and the first batch of scattered explorers in the local area have also started their journey.

Watching the hero step out of the novice village, Lu Ping'an, who has not yet taken a step, feels more and more complicated.
