798 Winter's Blood (7)

In the hall of the branch of the Remir Business Alliance, clerks with various business contracts in their hands shuttled through the stairwell, and a desk more than ten meters long was distributed with four windows, and in front of the windows Yijing was full of merchants

"Quick, 1,600 catties of black wheat, you need to load the car immediately!" A businessman crowded at the front desk handed the contract in his hand through the iron fence-like window, his fat face was covered with sweat, and his fat hand was difficult to reach in through the narrow iron window, there were too many people behind him, even with his size, he could only try his best to maintain the position in front

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up in front!" The merchants in the back lined up in a long line, this year's northern black wheat in Ruierdian is growing gratifyingly, the price of this cheap grain crop, and the price of grain in Vikia, there is a gap of one-third, if the black wheat here is transported to Vikia to sell, a trip can be worth a small grain merchant's income for a quarter

"I'm sorry, sir, there is something wrong with this contract of yours!" In the bars, the clerk of the business alliance wearing a feather hat on his head, after carefully checking the copy of the text, neatly stamped the seal of the contract with the seal of departure, and then handed it back to the merchant opposite, "Please pay another 1135 gold coins"

"How can this be, shouldn't it be! My goods have been verified at the time of loading, how can I have to pay the freight for no reason" The merchant was anxious, and hurriedly took the contract, looked at it carefully, his face was as bitter as an eggplant beaten by frost, 1135 gold coins was not a small amount for a small merchant like him, and even exceeded the trade profit obtained this time

He tried to raise his head and defend himself to the clerk in front of the desk, trying his best to resist the crowd behind him with his thick figure, today is the day when the deacon of the business alliance submits his application,

Every time you submit an application before the meeting, there will be some good news promulgated, so many businessmen will choose to suspend the business in their hands at this moment, in order to retain enough mobile funds, xiwang can be at the moment when the new information is promulgated, grab the first pot of gold at the fastest speed, and take the first step to earn the greatest benefits in such an opportunity, we all know that no matter how good the business, with the increase in the number of participants, the benefits will become more and more weak,

Especially in the morning, someone released a word that the price of grain in the three northern counties of Ruierdian will rise sharply this time, and it is not doubled, but doubled, and if you want to buy grain, you must need to pass the order of the Guò Business Alliance.

In order to escape the level of the business alliance, many businessmen have signed contracts with each other, first in the name of transportation, the food on the market is in their hands as much as possible, and then hoarding, waiting for the price to skyrocket, making a lot of money, and now waiting to sign the contract businessman yijing crowded the office hall of the business alliance, and even lined up outside the door, dropping a thousand pies in the sky, and the crowded crowd was like a long black dragon

"Sir, the quantity of your goods exceeds the standard ration by one-tenth!, so we must charge a fee according to the third tax point," the clerk looked at him, and explained with some impatience, "according to the new regulations that have just been promulgated, all grain transported in the territory of Rui Erdian needs to be added by one tax point, and if it is the cost of transportation outside Rui Erdian, one tax point may be levied less......

"When were the new regulations promulgated!" the fat merchant shouted unrelentingly, and the merchants behind him also stirred, "How is it possible?

"Thirty minutes ago!" the clerk held up a new paper, and then hung it on the office window in front of all the businessmen, "This is a temporary resolution of the deacon council of the business alliance to calm prices, this is the practice before the deacon meeting!"

"What can I do about this, a tax point is a tenth of the profit!" the merchants lamented in dismal dismal terms, and the merchants lining up outside began to disperse,...,

The tax point is the name of the commercial alliance for the transportation cost of the goods, a tax point represents ten percent of the total value of the goods, the highest level is five tax points, often only for the lucrative arms trade, and the grain trade belongs to the second tax point, less than luxury goods, weapons, and minerals, but higher than the general daily goods, and now suddenly raise a tax point, almost to the same level as minerals,

The businessmen who originally wanted to make a lot of money suddenly shook their heads and left as if they were drenched with ice water.

Although there is news that the grain will rise sharply, the result is not only not rising, but greatly increasing the cost of hoarding and transportation, which can be regarded as a lot of businessmen miserable, the grain can not be transported, or the more it is transported, the more it is lost, such a situation can be described as a fundamental earthquake for the private trade in grain that is now rampant in the north of Ruierdian.

"You say that woman gave the decree of a tax increase in the name of the deacon's council?" When the three Kang Leso, who were celebrating Shengli in the hall, heard the news, they thought they had heard it wrong, and after confirming it several times, they let out a cheer of ecstasy

"The tax increase must be fully approved by the deacon of the business alliance, this woman must be crazy, in order to highlight her absolute authority, she actually came up with this method of self-destruction!"

The other deacon, Asrd, was also full of ecstasy and laughed, "Who does she think she is, so that she can suppress the price of food, so that the other deacons can think that she still has the liliang to control a qiē?"

"Oh, Lord Asl is right, there is a proverb in our Remeer that if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy!"

If she can raise our taxes today, she will add other people's taxes tomorrow, and I can assure you that if others have a little foresight, they will not support her again, even if they do not oppose her openly!

Bai Condi's voice paused, with a little smug in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were already pointed, "She is digging her own grave, so we can't blame us for being ruthless, since the other party can't wait to make a move, we should also take the move immediately! Otherwise, it's not that we are afraid of even a woman! This time it's such a big game, it doesn't matter if we mess up a little more, those merchants who hoard grain should take action!"

"What do you ......mean?" Conleso's face froze for a moment, then he showed a look of sudden realization, and stretched out his right hand to Bai Condi, giving him a thumbs up

"Gao, why didn't I xiangdao, this time under the situation that we let the wind go in advance, the merchants of the entire Ruimier City have purchased a large amount of grain, and now that such a decree is suddenly issued, those merchants will definitely oppose fiercely, that is more than 3,000 people, nearly 400,000 tons of grain, such a big loss, enough to make those merchants crazy, they will definitely go to the branch of the business alliance, when the time comes, we can hold an emergency meeting in advance on the grounds that the merchant is the foundation of the business alliance, and let that woman get out of the place immediately before the official meeting!”

"To be honest, this woman's ability is still very good, but it's a pity that she is still too young, young and frivolous, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" Kang Lesuo's bald head shook his head, and his words changed, revealing a cat crying mouse fake compassion,

The form in the city was as predicted by the three of them, and the merchants who learned that the tax had been temporarily raised gathered at the door of the branch of the business alliance with angry expressions, in order to prevent accidents, the iron fence gate of the business alliance was tightly closed, and more and more people gathered outside the door, and some pale faces with suspicious appearances were mixed in the crowd waiting for an opportunity,...,

In a building not far from the branch, Kang Lesuo looked at the crowd gathered outside the branch of the business alliance with some pride, this pool of muddy water yijing stirred, every step of the way, the woman did not delay one, the water became more turbid, like a blister floating from somewhere, some voices echoed each other, and there were also whistles from the little minions sent by Bai Kangdi, the shouts of the scoundrels, revealed in the noisy crowd, making people feel the accumulated water potential, like a group of livestock, feeling that the hot air flow of the whole body was on themselves, and everyone made up as a whole,

"Oppose the tax increase!"

Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the bloody tide of anger finally began to move towards the closed iron gate, with anger in their eyes and murderous shouts in their mouths, some people who were hiding behind three or four rows began to throw stones at the big iron gate, and many people looked at the windows facing the street, as if they were watching a play, and some people fanned the flames inside, shouting the loudest, but they did not move a step forward.

The iron gate made an unpleasant creaking sound under the squeezing of the crowd, like a thin old man fighting with a group of strong men who robbed property, and was finally trampled on the ground by countless pairs of feet, the gate was tragically lost, and the business alliance staff behind them fled one after another in front of this torrent

"Rush, rush in, it's all that woman who made the ghost!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and then the black crowd rushed into the door of the business alliance branch, under the anxiety of the crowd, everyone felt that they were full of courage, they had long forgotten their original intentions, lost their minds, and were surrounded by the crowd, smashing the qiē that they could see in front of them like a wave, and struggling to trample the neat short-legged evergreen trees into a mess, as if only in this way could their anger be vented

"Dailan, it seems that your opponent is not weak!" The fat man was in a room on the second floor of the opposite street, looking coldly at the overturned iron gate of the branch and the crazy crowd smashing inside, and next to him, the face of Sokutus Dailan, who was wearing a black dress, was even more embarrassing and ugly.

Although some excesses were expected, she didn't Xiangdao, a law-abiding businessman who usually obeyed the law, would turn into a vicious thug in an instant, and although there were some elements of self-determination in that decree, it was indeed the quickest way to calm the current rapidly rising price of food, and to establish his authority in front of many deacons

"It's Dailan's incompetence that has made it such an unmanageable situation today, and please punish your majesty!" Sokutus Dailan knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man, her black hair was lightly draped over her shoulders, her pale face was slightly flushed, and her thin cherry red lips opened slightly, wanting to speak, but in the end she still held it tightly,

"It's me who is too negligent, it has nothing to do with you!" The fat man sighed slightly with a solemn expression, and picked up Sokutus Delan with his hand, a trace of extreme cold light flashed in his eyes, "These guys are used to a peaceful environment, and they seem to have forgotten the most basic things, and the interests of a qiē are first born on absolute power,

If there is no country, there is no qiē, just like Rui Erdian in front of him, if the Dongting cavalry is still wreaking havoc here, it is strange that they can still do business calmly, it is understandable for businessmen to earn profits, but if it shakes to the foundation of the country, even if he is three heads and six arms, I will definitely kill him, this is the country, the essence of the country, is the biggest violent machine on the mainland to protect their own interests!"

"陛xià is to ......"

Sokutus Delan, who stood up on his knees, trembled slightly, hearing the murderous words of His Majesty Falcon, it was the first time, and looked out the window at the merchants gathered in the branch of the business alliance, still smashing and looting, Sokutus Delan looked at him with pity, this is a thousand people, if His Majesty kills him, the army outside the city will drive in, and in an instant, this place will become a bloody Shura hell,...,

"Your Majesty, these people are just being bewitched, the real people behind the scenes are actually other people, and they are not mobs, they are just businessmen, in order to develop this group of people, we have spent a lot of effort, and please ...... Your Majesty" Xiangdao here, Sokutus Delan, who couldn't bear to see such a scene, knelt down again and said

"Among these thousands of merchants, about half of them are local merchants of Ruierdian, which can be described as a very valuable resource for the business alliance that has just established a foothold in the northern part of Ruierdian, these people will be the Xiwang of the business alliance in Ruierdian, and the business alliance needs these people

The fat man grabbed her hand, and his strong arms held her half-squatting body tightly

"I know what you're trying to say, but before that, I think you should take a look at this!" the fat man waved his hand to stop Sokutus Delan from continuing, picking up a copy from the table in front of him

"Who is this person?" Sokutus Stellan took the text in confusion, turned the first two pages, and saw a portrait mixed in it, his face suddenly became bloodless, and his body almost collapsed from the loss and shock

"He shouldn't be here, he...... How could he be here!" Sokutus Stellan said incoherently, holding the portrait in his hand, tears rolling down his eyes,

Under this sudden blow, no one can stay calm, she has already cut off contact with her family, although she left with hatred, but she has never been xiangdao, and she will be able to see it one day.

In the portrait is a thin old man, with old eyes, gray hair on his temples, and orange-like eye frames.

If it weren't for those eyes, and the familiar disgusting smile, Sokutus Dylan would have barely recognized the person in the painting, the gambler father who had gambled and lost his fortune a few years ago and wanted to sell himself to a brothel.

Seeing Sokutus Delan's extreme gaffe, the fat man put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "You may not know yet, this person has just taken over a batch of 700,000 tons of grain outside the city of Remeer, if there is no interception in the middle, this person and 700,000 tons of grain will quietly enter the warehouse outside the city without your knowledge,

Then, under the righteous words of someone, you will prove that the reason why you raised the grain tax without authorization is actually because this person has coveted a large amount of grain together with you, and in order to avoid competition, you will come forward to force out all the grain in the hands of other businessmen with a high tax rate, and then restore the tax rate and make a lot of money!

"Father and 700,000 tons of grain!" Sokutus Delan's shocked mouth opened slightly, such a large amount of grain, coupled with the appearance of his father, seemed very clear, this is a planting, a trap that makes him unable to even speak, as long as he steps in, he will never recover,

"Bang Bang"

There was a knock on the door, and Mao Mona Qing walked in from outside the door wearing a water-colored leather jacket, and her slender figure was vividly reflected with two straight long legs

"Your Majesty, according to the report, among the twelve deacons, five deacons, Ankanglius, Sawya, Listi, Anduinfi, and Yayakado, left the hotel and were rushing towards the military camp outside the city, apparently preparing to persuade the army outside the city to intervene, so that they could have a basis to investigate the warehouses outside the city."

"Oh, it's fast!" the fat man asked, touching his chin, "What about Conleso and Asrd?

"There is no news yet," Mao Mona Qing said with some hesitation, "Since they entered the hotel yesterday, they haven't come out again, danshi, we saw a servant running in and out frequently,...,

Just two hours earlier, when the merchants were beginning to gather, we saw Conleso's henchman Zhivazedo leave the hotel and visit the hotel where the twelve deacons were located in turn."

"Hehe, it's really two old foxes and a little fox, so heavy!"

The fat man was a little surprised, and then showed a sneer, "Since the master doesn't want to show his face yet, let these little minions make a fuss first, I also want to know, what do these guys want to do in the end, order the fourth and seventh banner regiments outside the city, without an order, those who move a soldier without an order, behead!"

At the station of the 7th Banner Regiment outside the city

The head of the banner, Ondras, walked to the door of the camp almost in a robe, and sure enough, he saw five famous business alliance archdeacons pacing anxiously back and forth outside,

"Five, ...... are you?" Banner Commander Ondras asked in a trance, this is five big people who can make the mainland tremble a few times with a stomp of their feet, how can they be so face-giving at this moment, they used to have to make an appointment to see one, but now there are five at once, when the guards came to report just now, Ondras thought he was sleepwalking

"Do you know about the riots in the city?those thugs are smashing up shops in the business alliance of the impact force, as a local garrison, you must stop them immediately," said the irascible Anconlius with a sneering face, "Also, we need a team of soldiers to help us go to the warehouse in the west of the city, we need to find the source of the rebellion and find out who is behind it!"

"Riot?" The head of the banner regiment, Ondras, was a little flustered, the deacon meeting of the business alliance was about to be held, and the military department of the Falcon Dynasty specially transferred two main flag regiments to garrison, just to avoid any accidents in the city of Remeer, and there was also the autograph of the Falcon Majesty and the falcon coat of arms on the order, which shows how important the Falcon Majesty is to this matter, and the order is also regarded by him as a family heirloom

If there is a real rebellion here, what face will I use to repay my boss

"Ring the bell at once, order the whole army to assemble immediately!" Banner Commander Ondras shouted to the sentry at the door, the messy barracks was full of soldiers

"Hurry, hurry, give me all the strength you have to feed!" Just as he shouted loudly, a black-armored cavalry rushed like a whirlwind from a distance,

"Are you the flag leader?" the black-armored cavalry stopped in front of Ondras, his sharp gaze paused on his flag leader's epaulettes, and threw the scroll in his hand to him with a blank face,

"This is ......" The head of the banner, Ondras, picked up the scroll in confusion, and the signature and coat of arms on it were the same as the order book, which made his face change,
