Chapter 640: Impact

He began to struggle violently, his muscles trembling all over his body, trying to break free from the gallows, but how could he do it with his hands tied, but in a minute or so, his struggle slowly weakened.

Then, he didn't make the slightest movement, his hands and legs hung limply on the ground, and his head drooped, losing his last vital signs.

Only a lifeless corpse was left swaying slightly under the autumn wind, and when everyone saw this scene, the people who watched the execution here suddenly let out an earth-shaking cheer.

The old nobles looked at the cheers of the people, and their faces also showed the smile of the victor, they looked at the blood relatives and nobles next to them with a smile, and then raised their noble heads high.

"This scumbag is finally dead!"

"Hooray! Long live Your Majesty! ”

During this time, under the rendering of the news released by William, Kajin has become a heinous person, and the group of people at the bottom who have no culture certainly believe it without the slightest doubt.

So when Cagene was executed, everyone was singing the praises of William's wisdom, after all, executing his cousin was not something ordinary people could do.

Now for those who are not nobles, he actually executed his younger brother, which also made all the residents more supportive of William.

It has to be said that it is not for nothing that the rulers from ancient times to the present have always implemented a policy of ignoring the people, and these residents with little knowledge and no culture basically believe in William's words.

In the future, even if William refers to the deer as a horse, they will believe it and support William's statement.

Caguien's body was taken down by the executioner, and his body was said to be disposed of and buried in William's grave.

This is the honor given to him by William, the underground tomb in the palace should have been William's descendants to enter, and the first to be buried in should be William, but this is also a compensation for William, so he buried his cousin in it.

In fact, some of the residents wanted to rush up and insult Cajin's corpse, but how could William allow them to do so.

While the rulers would approve of the inhabitants of the most heinous crimes, Callian was William's cousin after all.

In the final analysis, he is still William's blood relative, and he is half of the royal family of the Lorik Kingdom, how could William let the residents insult his corpse, insulting his corpse is actually insulting William.

The royal infantry began to thwart the impulsive actions of the inhabitants, for whom it was an unforgivable sin that would lead to such excesses.

It's been a month since the event ended, and the story of it has spread across the kingdom like wings.

Everyone hated what he had done with Kajien, and his colleagues were praising William's impartiality and undenied favoritism.

The Propaganda Department was promoting William's wisdom, and some troubadours were also spreading William's wisdom and martial arts.

For a time, the entire kingdom of Lorik once again began to sing praises to William.

William's follow-up treatment is also very satisfying, and the doglegs who helped Calline do evil were also sentenced to beheading by William without exception, which made many people cry out for joy.

At the same time, William also made some compensation to the caravans who were extorted, such as giving them half of the tax reduction for a year.

This is already a great benefit for them, and a tax cut of half means that their costs will be half lower than that of other merchants, and the price of the things they sell will be much lower, and they will be very competitive.

A year is enough time for them to seize a lot of the market, and if William gives them more time to cut taxes, they may even occupy most of the market in the Kingdom of Lorik.

Even to defeat the other merchants and the local merchants of the Kingdom of Lorik, after all, the discount of halving the cost is too great.

Don't underestimate the ability and greed of these businessmen, if there is a 10% profit, capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere, with 20% of the profit, capital can be active, with 50% of the profit, capital will take risks, for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, with more than 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime!

This is what William said in his previous life, William thought it was true, although he formulated the merchant law in China, with various means to curb the rise of merchants and the rise of capital, but if there is such a big concession, they will definitely get huge profits.

In the long run, the capital generated will be something that William will have to spend a lot of time to contend with.

William did not intend to create such a product of capital that was ahead of its time, and the current holy world was not suitable for such a thing as capitalism.

If we refer to the Holy Religion continent according to Western Europe in William's previous life, the human environment at this time is only in the early Middle Ages, and capitalism, which rose at the end of the Middle Ages and grew in the Renaissance, is not applicable to this era at all.

The sudden appearance of capital command makes the world worse and more complicated, and makes the situation more difficult to control.

Therefore, William only wanted a certain amount of prosperous commercial activity to keep his country rich and strong, but capital should be resolutely suppressed.

However, the preferential treatment to merchants has not yet had such serious consequences, at least for now, there are still many benefits.

Under William's deliberate actions, the news that William hanged his own cousins for these merchants spread to many countries.

Although some nobles considered William to be a tyrant, most of the merchants were very fond of the Paradise Kingdom.

William did not dare to say anything else, but in this era of monolithic economic activity, the flow of merchants was the flow of money, and as long as agriculture remained unwielding, then having a large number of merchants meant having endless wealth.

This led to a rapid development of commerce for William, and according to the business documents sent by Vidal for this month, compared to the previous month, the transaction volume generated in the Kingdom of Lorik this month reached 800,000 gold coins, that is, 8 million silver coins.

According to William's commercial law, all the income obtained by the merchants must be paid as a tax, except for some goods transactions, William's moonlight income from the commercial tax in Sheung Shui reached 500,000 silver coins.

Compared to the previous month, the transaction volume has increased by 41 percent, and even if William had been encouraging business before, the growth rate was only 10 percent per month on average, and now it has soared to 40 percent, which is a very good sign.

500,000 silver coins, what a terrible number, 500,000 a month, that's the income of 6 million silver coins in a year, and now the annual commercial tax of the Lorik Kingdom alone is more than all the annual income of the original Tskema Kingdom.
