Chapter 303: Re-Prosperity
On the twentieth of July, the port of Shawan, which had been in the eyes of the people and could not be restored until the winner of the battle was decided by Dane or the merchants, suddenly became luxuriant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Merchant ships clearly flying the flag of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce are coming from all over the world.
As an agent of a top chamber of commerce, Bickley has come up with very efficient means.
The resurgence of the port of Shawan has brought a sigh of relief to many, not least of whom are some of Hindlaire's local merchants.
These businessmen are actually the real supporters of Dane. Although, they are also unhappy with Dane's new tax bill. The bill, which would have to pay more taxes, was certainly not pleasing to the eye. However, even if you have to bear some more taxes, it is better than not having a business at all.
The three major chambers of commerce have capital, they can give up a lot of benefits in order to force Dane to comply, and they can afford to lose; Most of the businessmen who go to sea trade and transnational and cross-regional business follow the three major chambers of commerce, and with the support of the three major chambers of commerce, they have nothing to fear.
But not the local merchants of Hindlaire.
At first, they rejoiced in the General Affairs Office, which carried the banner of 'fighting for the interests of the merchants, opposing tax increases, and opposing exploitation,' but later, when the depression that lasted almost a month came, the local merchants were dumbfounded. They found that they were the ones who suffered the most in this struggle.
But what can they do? Dane ignored them, and neither did the General Affairs Office.
In the past month, there are many local businessmen who used to be more adventurous in business, or who happened to be unlucky when they were unlucky, or simply had too little capital and too big a scene, and directly declared bankruptcy.
Those who are still alive can only be regarded as struggling to support themselves, and pray that they can hold up the struggle between the General Affairs Office and the general, who cannot afford to offend either side above their heads, to end quickly.
Originally, they couldn't see any hope.
Riots are still going on all over the city, the number of cargo ships in the harbor is still decreasing, and the whole city is still going farther and farther away in a constant state of decay and depression. And the two sides of the struggle seem to be so resolute and tough, it doesn't look like they can end this state of confrontation in a short time.
However, the port that has suddenly become more prosperous today is a relief to all local merchants - the squeezed goods can be shipped out, and the orders that urgently need to be fulfilled are finally available for the goods to enter.
Soon, the whole port became busy, and the faces of the dock workers, who had been unemployed for a while, became energetic - who would use them without ships? Who pays them?
Of course, if someone is happy, there will naturally be someone who is unhappy.
Accompanied by bodyguards and guards, Kincard and Claris, who hurriedly came to the port, looked at the port with a prosperous appearance, and their faces were extremely bad.
Claris, who is considered to be a good city, is all cloudy at this time, not to mention Kincard, who has always been short-tempered and has an outgoing personality.
"Damn, shit, shit! Bastard Bickley! That dwarf who deserves hell! I curse you not to die well! He scolded repeatedly, and the foul language in his mouth came out like a cannon.
How can you not be angry? The three chambers of commerce obviously said that they would advance and retreat together in Shawan Port, but in this situation, it is no exaggeration to say that the Shire Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to stabbing the other two in the back!
"Let's go to the dwarf and ask for an explanation." Clarice said with a cold face.
"Good! I'm going to see if that bastard Bickley can withstand the wrath of both of us! ”
With their men and horses, the two rushed to the station of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Harbor. However, they ate directly in front of the two elven warriors stationed at the door.
These two elves from the Shire, dressed in bright silver chain mail and armed with enchanted scimitars, are extremely well-armed, and their own personal strength is also quite outstanding. And the indifferent faces on the faces of the two elven guards, and the even more indifferent tone, annoyed Kincard and Claris, who came with the attitude of asking for guilt.
What's even more infuriating is that Bickley doesn't even seem to care about a little face, and the elven guards guarding the door don't even make up some excuses like 'Mr. Bickley is not there' or 'Mr. Bickley is busy', but said very bluntly: "Mr. Bickley made it very clear that if someone from the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce came to visit, they would not be there." ”
These words made the two of them angry enough.
Clariss's cold expression seemed as if she was going to eat the two elven guards in front of her: "Missing? You Shire are so brazen enough to say that you can't say anything after committing an act of betrayal? ”
And on the side, Kincard, who was a little more grumpy, didn't even want to talk anymore. He pulled out the long knife that he used to put on his waist as an ornament, and he even planned to use force to break into the door.
Seeing that they were about to make a move, of course the two elven warriors would not stand here as statues. They also drew their scimitars in their hands, and the shining weapons were obviously enchanted and blessed.
However, despite the fact that the two elven warriors were well-trained and well-equipped, there were only two of them. In front of them, Kincard and Clarisse had even forty or fifty guards together.
In the crowd, after only holding out for a moment, the two elves guarding the door were killed and seriously injured.
Annoyed, Kincard had no intention of keeping his hand at all. He shouted that he would kill the two elven guards, and that he would catch the Bickley guy and hang him on the Harbor Boulevard and whip him.
He was really carried away by the anger, but next to him, Claris, who had a calmer personality, faintly felt that something was not quite right.
Seeing that Kincard was about to take the lead in rushing into the headquarters of the Shire Chamber of Commerce in front of him, the glamorous woman in red pulled this impulsive guy back.
"Why are you dragging me?"
"Something wasn't right, Bickley reacted as if he was deliberately trying to provoke us." (To be continued.) )
