Chapter 209: Just once
[34.], to provide you with wonderful reading.
Doflamingo is trying to adapt to his new persona: a young and promising king.
Unlike the scrappy King of Riku, Doflamingo is too simple to make a country from poverty to prosperity.
With his sheer power and power, Doflamingo soon turned Dressrosa into a trading center in the Dark World.
There are many trade centers in the Dark World, but none are more famous than Dressrosa.
This is a country where pirates are kings, and what could be more powerful than that?
As the trading center of the Dark World, Dressrosa is not only well-known, but also has the strongest security.
Soon, Dressrosa attracted a large number of merchants from the Dark World.
Doflamingo had experience opening trade centers, and Dressrosa turned into a dark world trade center without causing chaos here.
However, the people are not unaware of this, and there is a lot of criticism in their hearts.
"Don't think I can't see it! The ships that have been frequenting Dressrosa lately have been pirates or criminals. ”
"There are a lot of new shops in the city, and those shops are secretly selling illegal goods."
"Sure enough! It's too dangerous to have a pirate as king, and he'll bring the country to a dead end! ”
"How about reporting to the Navy and the world government? Otherwise, it will affect us! ”
……
There is an undercurrent in Dressrosa, and the people are a little unhappy about it.
This undercurrent can't hide from Doflamingo, who lives in the palace. Spies hidden among the populace and speculators who wanted to get a reward brought him the information.
"Report me to the World Government and Navy?"
Seeing this information, Doflamingo chuckled.
On the side, Caterina licked her lips and said with some excitement, "Do you want me to kill them?" I'll let them disappear quietly! ”
Doflamingo shook his head, which didn't match his new personality.
Doflamingo said earnestly, "Katarina, you are now also a minister of the kingdom. Don't open your mouth and shut up to kill, you have to be worthy of your new identity! ”
Caterina raised her eyebrows and said, "For example?" ”
Doflamingo smiled: "Let's divide them and buy them!" ”
Soon, Doflamingo announced a new decree: tax exemption!
All taxes, including the heavenly gold, are exempted. From now on, residents of Dressrosa do not need to pay any taxes!
As soon as the news broke, the residents of Dressrosa rejoiced. A little dissatisfaction in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Report Doflamingo to the world government and navy? Are you kidding!
If Doflamingo had not been king, would the tax exemption decree still be valid?
The answer is no.
The appearance of this decree directly made all the residents of Dressrosa stand by Doflamingo's side.
Of course, there are some stubborn ones.
"Nita, what are you doing? Let go of me! ”
A fisherman who wanted to sneak out to sea was caught by his friend and tied up with a rope.
Nita sneered, "What for? You want to report to the World Government and the Navy that they will capture Master Doflamingo, right? ”
The man said angrily, "What's wrong with that? ”
Nita snorted, "Master Doflamingo has exempted you from paying taxes, and you dare to betray him?" Gulla, I misread you! ”
"Doflamingo is a pirate who has turned this country into a trading base for criminals. Don't tell me Nita don't know what the merchants are who come in and out of Dressrosa every day! ”
Nita laughed, "I know, but so what? They didn't hurt us. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the taxes they bring that we are exempt from the heavy heavenly gold. ”
As she spoke, Nita's face turned cold, and her eyes looked at Gula with murderous intent, "At the beginning, because of the payment of heavenly gold, my wife was sick and I didn't have the money to treat her. Gura, don't tell me you don't know about it. ”
Gula advised, "Nita, don't be deceived by Doflamingo. He's a pirate, he's evil. We should hand him over to the righteous navy ......"
"Shut up!"
Nita snorted, "The navy is justice, why didn't they stop the Celestial Dragons when they forced us to pay the Heavenly Gold?" Are pirates evil? Doflamingo has given us a better life!
Admit it, Gulla! You want to report Master Doflamingo just to satisfy your poor sense of justice and to get a bounty from the World Government.
The consequence of this is that everyone in Dressrosa will have to go back to the poverty and misery of the past! ”
Nita glared at Gula viciously, gritting her teeth, "I'll hand you over to Master Doflamingo and have him hang you." You selfish scoundrel, you deserve to go to hell to atone for your sins! ”
Ignoring Gulla's struggles, Nita shoved a rag in his mouth and dragged him towards the palace.
Doflamingo was excited about Nita's move. This shows that the residents of Dressrosa are starting to support themselves from the bottom of their hearts, which is a good sign.
[If I'm not mistaken, in the prophecy of the era of King Riku's reign, many people in Dressrosa did not have enough to eat, and they were hungry every day......]
Doflamingo thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
The next day, Doflamingo had the news come out. Every day, he sends people to distribute food for free throughout Dressrosa, and the residents of Dressrosa can go and pick it up.
The residents of Dressrosa were even more moved by the news.
"Woo woo, thank you so much! Without you, I would have starved to death! ”
An old man in tattered clothes stood at the food distribution station, holding the food he had just been distributed, and knelt down and cried bitterly.
A chubby guy came out of the site, trotted all the way to the old man, and helped the old man up.
Then he turned to look at the others who had come here to receive the food, and shouted, "It is Master Doflamingo who has given you food, thank him if you want to thank you!" ”
The old man howled again: "Thank you so much, Lord Doflamingo! I will never forget your great kindness, and I am willing to go to the soup for you! ”
In the distance, Sissi, who saw this scene, smacked her lips, turned her head to Doflamingo on the side and said, "That old man was arranged by you, right?" That's too pompous, isn't it? ”
Doflamingo said: "The most taboo thing in propaganda work is subtlety. These residents are not smart people, and what I said is implicit that they can understand? ”
Sissi pouted, "I think they understand!" ”
Doflamingo scoffed, "I think they would be clever and foolish even if they understood." You don't have to repay me, do you? If they had great wisdom, they would not be at the mercy of me in this country! ”
Sissi sighed and said, "How long are you going to play this trick?" It feels like you're going to be recognized! ”
Doflamingo said calmly, "Just once!" ”
Sissi was surprised: "Can it be done once?" ”
Doflamingo laughed, "One time is enough!" Human beings are creatures that are good at learning and imitating. They know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they also like to take advantage. ”
As he spoke, Doflamingo raised his hand and gestured to the food distribution site, "Look, that's the answer!" "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
