Chapter 254 When Wealth is a Weapon

At the same time, some questions such as "Never let the nobility fool our eyes!" "We need to get the truth! "The lord must give us a perfect explanation! "Against the lords to plug the tongue of the righteous! Slogans such as "Harmony" began to be shouted, and in some places even went on strike (harmony) in the city. For a moment, the whole Lagoon City seemed to have some kind of plague, and it seemed that there were people protesting in every street and alley, and everyone was shouting for the truth!

Under such pressure, Viscount Norris no longer appears in public, and just hides in his official residence every day. As for how to deal with the Mermaid's Song? No kidding, now that he can't even be busy with his own affairs, how can he still have the time to deal with the mermaid song?

And in Tianhe City, where all this was planned, in the Earl's Residence, everything was like a festival, and the lively and happy atmosphere simply made it as warm as summer.

"Hahahaha! Beauty, my pretty little beauty~~! You are truly my lucky star! With you by my side, I've really been doing anything lately, everything is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables! Hahaha! ”

In the great bathroom, the red-striped Count was submerged in chest-high warm water. Around him were a dozen beautiful maidens, all of whom served the earl with coolness. But the most striking and beautiful of them all, without a doubt, was Margaux, the mistress of the Count of Cap.

Now, Margaux smiled slightly, leaned on the count's chest, and smiled smartly: "Lord Count, I have said it many times~~~ The reason why it can go so smoothly is entirely because of your wise decision, Count. An incompetent woman like me is already satisfied to serve the Earl well, where can I have so much knowledge to plan this? ”

The Count was all the more pleased to be held so heavily. He nodded lightly and said with a smile, "That's right! Indeed, without my decision-making, who could have planned so well? Hahaha! So little beauty, can you help me guess again, and see how long it will take for that stinky boy of Norris to surrender? ”

Margaux smiled slightly and said, "I'm stupid, I can really just guess~~~"

"If you want me to say, that Norris guy shouldn't last three months. If only we had more men in Lagoon City, we would have worked harder to stir up the hatred of the citizens against Norris. Since you are a lord, it is absolutely impossible that you have not done something that upset the citizens. We just need to make use of these things and magnify the bad side, the stupid side, and the disgusting side of Norris without limit, and then promote them more. I believe that within a month, he should not be able to contain this surging public opinion. When the time comes, I will definitely come to negotiate with you, and when that time comes, it will definitely not be a problem for our Megatooth Pig to enter Lagoon City. ”

"There is only one question to overcome, and that is whether the leader of their faction, the people above Norris, will come and remove him first, and replace him with someone else to appease the anger of the citizens. But I personally don't think there should be any need to worry about this, after all, if a person as arrogant as Ennoris asks him to risk giving up his territory to ask his boss for help, he shouldn't do this kind of complete loss of territory. So at the very least, he will only hold this matter in his stomach and not report it to the top.

"In this case, then Lagoon City is already equivalent to the Earl's bag~~~ Of course, I think the Earl should have thought of all these things, right? Even more thoughtful than I am. What a shame...... I've been with the Earl for so long, and I've only been able to learn so little bit of the stuff that is not enough to worry about~~~ Lord Earl, don't laugh at me~~~"

Seeing Margaux in such a coquettish appearance now, Count Karp was really happy. He pinched Margaux's cheek hard and laughed, "No, no! How could I possibly laugh at you? I admire you very much, you deserve to come out of the kiln, recently I heard that the number of untouchables at the bottom of the rebellion is a little frequent, you used to be a pariah, well-informed, and the operation is really slippery! Hahaha! But that's okay! As long as you follow me, you will always be my little beauty! Hahahaβ€”β€”! ”

Margaux nodded slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly at Count Karp's current words, but she quickly returned to normal.

While the Count was smiling happily, Margaux thought for a moment and continued, "Lord Count, when it comes to conquering Lagoon City, I think there are still some small places that can be taken together. ”

Count Karp paused for a moment: "Where else?" ”

Margaux laughed: "Lord Earl is really a noble man who forgets things. Have you forgotten? There are also three other towns near Lagoon City, Kingfisher Town, Honglu Town, and Pelican Town. Although the population of these three towns is not large, and the products are not very rich, no matter how it is said that the mayors of these three towns are also appointed by the lord of Viscount Norris. If they can't pull out these three towns directly, if they come to make some trouble when the giant tooth pork is exported from Lagoon City in the future, although it won't hinder the overall situation, it will still be a little annoying in general. ”

Count Karp was now happy, and naturally a hundred agreed with Margaux's statement: "Mmmmmmmm So what do you think should be done? ”

Margaux still smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple, these three towns belonged to Lagoon City before, and the general material exchange is also closely related to Lagoon City. If they were simply asked to change the mayor, the effect might not be obvious enough. After all, at this time, everyone can see that it is the Earl who is manipulating. Moreover, the mayors of these three towns have been responsible for many years, and they all have a sufficient public opinion base in their respective towns. So, their mayor can't be shaken casually. ”

"But that doesn't mean there's no way. It can even be said to be a very simple method. Pelican Town is mainly dealing in agricultural products, right? Now is the season for farming, and we can go to Pelican Town to buy iron ore products in large quantities. In addition, it can be purchased at a price much higher than the market price. ”

Count Karp looked a little puzzled: "Iron ore products? Why? ”

Margaux smiled slightly and said, "Because the Changmian Mountain Range next to Pelican Town is itself a big iron mine. Although we were there lately for the gold mines, if we were to buy a lot of iron ore instead, the townsfolk would be willing to dig some iron ore out of the mines. No matter how bad it is, they will also buy iron ore from other places through various means of trade, and then make iron ore products. ”

"In this way, I believe that the people of Pelican Town will give up farming and start working in iron ore forging and the like. The Earl can continue to buy until this autumn, and when the harvest season is over, the Earl immediately stops buying iron products. ”

"In this case, the people of Pelican Town will pile up a lot of iron products and a lot of money, but since they are not farming in the current farming season, the food reserves must be very tight."

"In this case, by the time the autumn comes, the economy of Lagoon City should have fallen into the hands of Lord Earl, and then it will be possible to sell grain at a higher price. Let the townsfolk spit out the money they swallowed again. In this way, the economy of these three small towns can be brought down, and at the same time, the Earl can make a lot of money. ”

"The high price of food will drive people into desperation, and at that time, a large number of people in three small towns, including Pelican Town, will go bankrupt and have to sell their houses and land to pay back. In this way, Lord Earl, you can buy these three towns for a very low amount of money, so as to strengthen the security of the passages around Lagoon City. ”

"What do you think of such a small proposal from me, Lord Earl?"

Count Karp turned his head to look at Margaux's delicate little face, at her pink lips, at her white and red skin, at her long hair as black as charcoal and as smooth as the waterfall of the heavenly river, and at her seductive figure hidden beneath the water, looming with enough to stir up the blood of the people.

In the face of such a stunner, and it is a stunner who is all about himself, will anyone be able to answer the word "no"?

- May 20, 1302, food expenses: -6 copper and 3 iron, commission fee: 4 silver, 2 copper and 8 iron, salary: -4 copper and 2 iron, balance: 425 gold, 3 silver, 7 copper and 5 ironβ€”β€”

"Is there such a good thing in this world?"

Arrow could barely believe his ears.

After all, looking at the mayor of Round Cheese in front of him, and looking at his current excited appearance, Arrow really didn't feel like he could believe this kind of thing.

"Really! I don't lie to you! President Arrow, I treat you as part of our town, and I have one thing to say! You led our town and made everyone make a fortune, so now the opportunity to make a fortune has fallen on us, and I, the mayor of the town, will naturally not forget to inform you. This is not? That's a big money opportunity! If you can't really make a fortune in one go! ”

Mayor Round Cheese is now dancing with excitement, and that round and chubby face is glowing! It was as if a large sum of money had been thrown on his head early this morning.

Similarly, the mayor's current excitement caused everyone in the guild hall to look at him, not only the members of Merfolk Song, but also the townsfolk who had come to commission the work.

Arrow glanced at the townsfolk who were handing over the power of attorney, smiled and dealt with it, let Coco and Cream temporarily put on top, and he pulled Mayor Round Cheese to sit down in the rest area next to him, and said, "This kind of thing is not a joke, there is never a sure thing in doing business. If the profit is high, then there must be a risk. ”
