Chapter 223

Geralt didn't want to get involved in that kind of thing. What he hopes more is to return to the life of being alone and at ease. But in any case, he is not alone now. He had a friend called Dandrien, and an unexpected son. He didn't think he wanted all this, but the words that Su Yuan said to him when he was leaving always lingered in his ears.

"Geralt, come back and see Ciri when you're free. He's your daughter, which means it's your home......" I don't know why, but once I thought of it, Geralt felt the urge to go back.

Compared to Su Yuan's unscrupulous business, Geralt is still committed to the path of demon hunting. It's just that this time Su Yuan forcibly gave him a special task.

"Geralt, I know that in your demon hunting, you will always come into contact with all kinds of non-human lifeforms. There's one thing I need you to do. Declare the freedom of Sintra to all the non-human intelligent beings you meet. ”

"Caranthor has always disliked non-human species."

"That's not something you should worry about. All you have to do is find those wandering elves, goblins, dwarves and tell them that Sintra welcomes them. Queen Caranther was already tidying up the barren land. As long as they come, they can get their own land and enjoy the same treatment as the people of Sintra. ”

"Is Katheran crazy? If she did so, she would anger all the northern nobles. ”

"Really? What if you are angry? Will they rush up with cavalry and fight a battle? Don't think too much of the nobles, and the king. Moreover, this matter should not be sat on with great fanfare. Be hidden, and it's best to find the squirrel party and let them help with this. ”

Geralt left with a full stomach full of questions. In addition to his own horse, he was accompanied by Dandrien, who always treated him as he was. In a sense, Geralt can be famous all over the world. A big part of it is because he met Dandrien. The bard, who sings his story everywhere, makes his character closer to a hero than a witcher in the traditional sense.

While the Skellig Islands dominate the seas, Hinterland is also carrying out its own plans step by step.

First, a message was spread quickly. Princess Pavita's husband, the hedgehog knight's curse, was able to be lifted because of an elven mage. In response, the Queen of Sintra issued a series of decrees.

"First of all, the elves will be the guests of Hitla. Any elf in Sintra who does not contravene the laws of Sintra has the same rights as the people of Sinterland. They are free to live, work, or even live here for a long time. Queen Caranther even spoke. In order to thank the elves for their help to the country, she welcomes all the elves to live in her kingdom. ”

This decree once caused a certain amount of discussion. But it didn't usher in the imagined rejection. First of all, Hinterland is a very xenophobic country. There are basically no traces of intelligent races such as elves and dwarves. Therefore, the people of their own country are only legends about these non-human intelligent races.

After all, with the productivity of this world, most people may never leave their small town for the rest of their lives. Since you don't understand, there's nothing bad about it. Of course, it doesn't carry a good feeling. It's just that Her Majesty said that the elves are now friends with Sintra. The majority of the population will still comply. Not for anything else, because of the Queen's decree. After all, they have long been accustomed to obeying the edicts from above.

The second change in Sintra is that the original xenophobia began to fade rapidly. They even began to encourage their own people, as well as all kinds of outsiders, to engage in commercial activities. The queen restructured the country's commercial taxes. Taxes have become higher than before. But only on the surface. Because she also canceled the agency fee right of various levels.

In this way, all commercial tax revenues will be returned to the central government to the greatest extent. And this is also the biggest restructuring that has set off waves. You must know that a large number of nobles can live a luxurious life by exploiting the merchants in their own territory. But now, an important financial route has been cut off, and of course they don't want to.

In exchange for Caranser's butcher's knife, the crowd was excited. She is a person who is rarely reasonable. Able to move a knife, it is generally unreasonable. So, after a tragic and bloody conflict, the Empire's new business tax policy was officially introduced. Of course, Caranther is not blindly suppressed.

The surviving nobles also got their own benefits. Quite simply, Caranther divided the assets of the cleared nobles among the remaining nobles who supported him. Hitting a stick and giving a sweet date is one of the most basic means of royal subordinates. Caranthor has been very successful in this regard.

The implementation of various new policies is operating in an orderly manner. But the results are far from as high as expected. Due to the spread of news in this world and the reaction time of the lower classes, the results have not been seen in a short period of time. There has been a marked increase in the number of businessmen from other places. But it's not enough.

Su Yuan also expected this situation. He also had an idea in his mind that he needed to create some representative role models. To put it simply, there needs to be one or more leaders. They need to set an example for businessmen everywhere, as well as for the citizens of their own countries, to be an example of how to do business and get rich.

Cultural backwardness does not mean that there are no smart people. Under the hint of policy, intentional or unintentional, someone soon stood up. A liquor dealer was the first to realize the impact of the change in the commercial tax on them, the merchants.

It seems that the tariff is too high, but under his many attempts, he found that this tariff policy is strictly enforced. There are no various checkpoints on the road after asking for bribes. On the contrary, the cost has been reduced by a large margin.

He was secretly pleasantly surprised by this discovery. He immediately threw away all the valuable things he had, poured everything he had, and got a large quantity of the fine wine of the North from Temeria. Go back to Sintra and make a fortune. Overnight, he became the biggest liquor dealer in Sintra.

Of course, what he didn't know was. In order for him, a representative figure, to be able to make a splash. Su Yuan even arranged a team of agents from the Intelligence Bureau to secretly protect this guy and ensure that he completed his business legend. Along the way, agents of the Intelligence Bureau secretly cleared out six waves of bandits, and even sacrificed a member of the team, so that the liquor dealer could finally make his own legend.

After that, the people began to spread the deeds of this guy like crazy. Sintra instantly attracted the attention of almost all businessmen.
