314 Chambers of Commerce
"Your Excellency, there is a merchant named Sandru outside who has asked to see you, and he says that he is the president of the Thirteen Guilds in the city. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A soldier walked in and reported in a loud voice.
"Oh? Is it? Well, bring him in, and I'll meet him here.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived! Ciri couldn't help but be surprised. But he didn't know what kind of surprise the person he wanted to meet would bring him.
"Sandru, the president of the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce? Wise, Earl Celestial, may the Earl be safe! β
Respectful attitude, flawless profession is a smile, this Sandru, the impression on Ciri is really good. However, he will not be naΓ―ve to think that this is just an ordinary meeting, you know, the other party is the only gem mine in Wise City, although now this corundum crystal mine that can produce all color gems, including rubies, is still the Minister of Life, but he knows that this mine, not to mention the Duchy of Canter, is also the number one in the entire Los Continent!
"Well, hello. But Mr. Sandru, while it is true that I have taken control of Wise City, have you come to me this time just to congratulate me? β
"Of course not." Sandru put away his smile, Originally, Ciri thought that he would be the first to raise the question of the gem mine, but he began to pour coins out of his storage ring, a small amount of gold, a large number of silver coins and even copper coins, and after a while, it was a big pile.
"What do you mean, Sandru?"
"It's nothing, this is the tax that our Thirteen Chambers of Commerce should pay this month. Moreover, this is according to the tax collection standard of Noah City. β
Sandru said with a faint smile.
"Hehe, I am not satisfied with what you said, the major territories of the Principality of Kante, which one does not envy the management methods of Noah's territory? In other words, it seems that His Majesty Artim's direct territory will also implement your management methods! β
"Well, you really have a heart."
Xirui is really a little overjoyed, the management methods of the previous life, have been running for so many years, naturally they are effective and can take into account the interests of all aspects, this Sandru wants to please the soul and wish to continue to make a lot of money, but he has not forgotten his gem mine.
"As for that gem mine southeast of Wise City...... My lord, the one who owes us money, after all, is Carl, and the other person is no longer in Wise City, and he is not sick or sick, so we naturally have to ask him for the money we owe, and as for your gem mine, we have no reason to continue mining, right? β
A fluttering sentence almost blocked everything Ciri wanted to say. A merchant who has a project Noah's territory control method, this is easy to understand, but it is so easy to give up the wealth in hand...... Kill Ciri, and I don't believe that the idiom mercenary is synonymous with, and there is a word that directly connects to the deep righteousness!
Sure enough, after some cozy behavior, that Sandru also ran out of the true purpose of his trip.
"Everyone, you may have heard of it, our Thirteen Merchant Chamber of Commerce is actually an organization formed by the thirteen big businessmen uniting together. I also understand that the adults have already settled in and should implement the new policy, but the tone is so poor and tossed, wouldn't it be better to sit in the castle and collect money? β
In a word, Ciri didn't say anything, but this heart has already set off a monstrous wave! Originally, he thought that this Sandru was not bad, at least a merchant who could coexist peacefully, but now, if his guess was correct, this guy should be the Earth Emperor entrenched in Wise City, and he must eradicate it!
I was thinking about how to improve the data page of my territory, but I didn't expect that the person in front of me was the culprit! Ciri really has a different taste in his heart.
He is a person, if he doesn't move, he has to do everything! Although he doesn't know everything about Wise City, his understanding is by no means just on the surface! Wise City, a huge city with a population of one million. But in reality? There may be only 300,000 citizens living in the inner city, but in the six slums in the outer city, the smallest one has 300,000!
The prolonged house arrest of the former Earl of Wise has made the city a miasma of smoke and a crime. Paradise for sinners!
Carl wants people to ask for money and no money, and he can't change anything at all in this year, Ciri took Wise City and didn't further wage war against Kanter's direct territory, one is that he didn't find a suitable reason, and the other is because he wants to govern this dark city!
Now, someone actually told him to keep Wise City as it was? Would he have tolerated such a thing in the past? What kind of thoughts did this person who made such a suggestion have!
"Stay it is, Sandru, that's what you mean?"
Ciri said quietly on the surface. Facial expressions do not reveal true thoughts, but they are one of the qualities that a good nobleman and lord should have. But in his heart, he didn't mean to be happy.
This quiet premise is that he has encountered a major setback, and even made him extremely angry!
"It's not my personal meaning, my lord, this is the meaning of the Thirteen Families and the Chamber of Commerce, and the meaning of all the citizens of Wise City."
"Thirteen United Chambers of Commerce can represent Wise City?"
"Yes, yes!" Although Sandru's tone paused slightly, the smugness in his expression after that was also overflowing!
"My lord, I think you also saw it when you entered the city, those untouchables in the outer city can't be regarded as the citizens of Wise City at all, and we in the inner city still have to create them for you."
"Yes! So didn't I directly take in a small city of more than 300,000 people? β
Ciri said with a smile. A city with a population of 300,000 is not a small city in this world. Of course, he had something else to say, but it was a pity that this Sandru didn't see it at all, or he saw it, but he was deliberately pretending to be confused.
"More than 300,000 people, how can this be said to be a small number. Hehe, even if you don't look down on that little tax, you can also give at least 50,000 young people here, whether it is to expand the army or to be a guard, can't you contribute to your great cause? β
"I have enough soldiers, we don't need to expand yet."
This Sandru is really dizzy! The new lords are here, and they are leading a large army into the city with great fanfare, this guy not only wants to continue to be the emperor of the soil, but also wants to get involved in the army of the new lord!
"So, is it better for Wise City to maintain the status quo?" In the face of Ciri's temptation, Sandru made no secret of it.
"That's nature. My lord, you are a nobleman from a big place, and there must be no shortage of people around you. You don't think that just because there is a miners' association in the outer city, they can create wealth for you, right? (To be continued.) )
