I Became A Black Merchant In Another World-Chapter 333: I’ll be a mess (2)
“I have to make the Kingdom of Lyon fall into the abyss of ruin.”
Orsini blinked after hearing my words.
But soon he regained his composure and asked again.
“How can I do this specifically?”
That’s why career positions are good.
If I had brought other guys here and asked them the same question, they would have reacted like this.
‘Me doing something like that? How?’
Ruining a country is usually difficult, no, to be honest, it’s harder than breaking a rock in half by hitting it with an egg...
Even if you react like that, it’s not a waste, since you’ve done it once, you won’t be suspicious when I tell you to do something.
That’s why your first experience is the most important.
“Before I tell you how, let’s talk about the goal you have to achieve by doing this.”
“Goal first?” “Usually, it would be common to explain the process through which you have to achieve this goal, but this time it’s a little special.”
“Understood.”
“What you have to do this time is to put a hook in the mouths of the Kingdom of Lyon and make them participate in the civil war of the Holy Empire.”
Orsini froze for a moment after hearing my words.
His body was frozen like a stone, and he was just blinking.
He couldn’t help but be surprised when he was given a task he had never thought of.
“What is the most important thing we need to succeed as merchants?”
Most self-help books and business management books say this.
Discover your own strengths and maximize them to differentiate yourself.
That’s not wrong.
However, in medieval fantasy, or even before the 20th century, if you believed and followed that advice, you would have been able to open an office in Pangyo or Gwanggyo before...
It was the perfect thing to do to fall into the Han River and be reincarnated into another world.
“If you don’t have capital, you have to find someone to invest capital, and if you don’t have a business partner, you have to find a business partner. However, our Rothschild upper echelon already has a huge amount of capital and the credit and means to secure capital, and there are countless business partners to do business with.”
“There is a market in the Tuscan Empire, but sales in Ifriqiya are very good.”
“We don’t have the technology or facilities to produce our main products, weapons or alcohol, and the price of gold is much lower than the average price in the Albanian continent. We are simultaneously making a profit from sales and the difference in the price of gold. And we also have income from gold mines that we secretly purchased from the Masai Union.”
If I were to spend money without worrying about inflation, I could hire over 100,000 mercenaries on my own.
Of course, if I did that, it would obviously collapse the Tuscan Empire economy as well as foreign economies, so I wouldn’t do it.
It’s like a fish living in a lake poisoning the lake water.
If a fish rots the water it lives in, it’s a good chance for it to die.
“It’s hard to grow on its own anymore. So we have to create a market. And the new market we open up will be the ‘entire Holy Empire.’”
“That’s right, but I want to add the Kingdom of Lyon to that. If we drag them into the civil war, we can sell that much more weapons.”
“It’s a disaster, no, it’s a fair point.”
I think I just heard you say it’s a disaster, but that’s how business is.
It’s about making money by exploiting other people’s misfortune.
In our neighboring country, Japan, there was a great disaster called the Meireki Fire around the 17th century, where 100,000 people were burned to death, and at that time, lumber merchants made unprecedented sales.

We should also learn from the wicked wisdom of the Japanese.
“But let’s think about it logically. In the current situation, is it really necessary for the Kingdom of Lyon to actively participate in the Holy Empire’s civil war?” “If they knew how to think, they would join the war when the war between the Protestant faction and the Catholic faction is almost over. When hunting animals, it would be easier to deal with two tired lions than two healthy lions.”
“Yes, because everyone else can think the way we do. They will make common sense judgments.”
This is a common mistake made by self-employed business owners and new business owners.
This is the disease of thinking that only I can think of something.
The reality is that, cruelly enough, if I can think of something, 99.5% of the time, everyone else can think of it too.
That’s why, even in war, even if generals with similar abilities fight, the winner is determined, and if you go to the patent office, you’ll see that all the inventions I conceived of are already patented.
‘Reality is so cruel.’
However, if you change your perspective, it means that my thoughts are similar to others’ thoughts, so if you prepare something to match that, the average will go up...
“So we have to make it so that they can’t make common sense judgments. So that they have no choice but to choose war.”
We call great generals like Admiral Yi Sun-sin and Napoleon like this.
A general who achieved a great victory in war despite having fewer troops than the enemy.
It’s not wrong, but Napoleon responded like this after hearing that.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
‘I just concentrated my small number of troops as much as possible and attacked the enemy’s dispersed units, and suppressed them with a momentary advantage in numbers.’
Admiral Yi Sun-sin deliberately set up a situation where the enemy had no choice but to enter a disadvantageous place, and concentrated his troops to suppress them by taking advantage of all kinds of strategic and tactical advantages.
Even though I’m not a general, I have to learn this lesson well.
“The first thing you have to do is to take those who are currently being educated and go to the Kingdom of Lyon, and then incite a rebellion there.”
“...... A rebellion?”
“A very organized and planned rebellion.”
Why was the Donghak Peasant Revolution successful before the Japanese military intervened?
It was because Jeon Bong-jun, the leader of the peasant army, learned how to systematically operate the organization while operating under the instructions of Heungseon Daewongun.
“Jeon Bong-jun personally hated Heungseon Daewongun.”
In any case, the wisdom and knowledge provided by Heungseon Daewongun gave the peasant army the driving force and strength to defeat the government troops.
Orsini will play that role.
“The 62 revolutionaries I have recruited this time will immediately approach the serfs and workers as soon as they are dispatched to the Kingdom of Lyon. And as they gradually become closer to them, they will infiltrate the organization.” “The most discontented are the ones most likely to join the rebellion. We should go to the most difficult place in the Kingdom of Lyon.”
“Make a city near the border of the Holy Empire your base.”
“Understood.”
Communism can only thrive where the poor live.
Because it’s a place where it’s hard to make a living because of poverty, and the working conditions are extremely harsh.
Because they want to kill all the presidents, CEOs, and nobles and create a paradise for workers.
If they’re making a decent living, they won’t risk their lives to overturn it, even if they’re not satisfied with their current life.
“Make a city near the border of the Holy Empire your base, and tell the peasants only the truth at first. That even serfs in the Tuscan Empire can eat bread every day.”
“A lie only seems plausible when it’s hidden in the truth.” “And the workers of the Tuscan Empire only work 10 hours a day and are guaranteed a decent life. Why should we have to live in such misery?”
“I understand, but.”
Orsini hesitated for a moment and then asked me back.
“Couldn’t the serfs or ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) workers report us?”
“Let the accused run away immediately.”
There is a saying in prosecutorial investigations of murders, drug cartels, etc., that
‘If we catch just one guy, the investigation will go smoothly from then on.’
Likewise, if we catch one member of the organization, we could end up being caught from there.
Besides, they are our vassals, so we have to protect them as much as we can.
“I will continue the story. If the workers’ anger reaches a certain point, we will induce a riot. At first, it will be a protest, and then someone’s sudden accident will cause a little violence.” “Things are getting bigger like a snowball.”
“What should we do next when things get bigger?”
“Lies.”
“Yes, let’s solve the conspiracy theory that Baron 00 is leading the army down to kill us.”
The principle of an organized riot is simpler than you think.
Someone instigates it, mixes in lies to increase the scale, and makes the protesters fight by telling them lies.
“Then the area will burn down. Set fire to several places like this.”
“Okay, but after that...”
Oh, you don’t have to tell me that now.
“Once the burning is over, I’ll tell you the next plan. And if this goes well, I’ll do it myself.
“I will report your exploits to His Majesty.”
“I will obey your command, Viscount.”
“This is an opportunity to revive a fallen family.”
