"Lord Teisent, our boss asks you to go up to the second floor to rest, the boss is already waiting for you. ”

Il took the badge and hung it on his neckline, sat on the sofa and bowed slightly politely in response, then got up and tidied up his shirt. He followed the red-haired beauty up the staircase made of red oak, with his head held high and a standard smile on his face, with the posture of an aristocrat.

The furnishings on the second floor are obviously much more upscale than on the first floor, and a short man is standing at the top of the stairs waiting for Il's arrival, only to see that he is wearing purple and black satin, and his smile looks close, but the two mustaches add a bit of obscenity, I really don't know why he chose this kind of beard.

"This must be Lord Teisent, please go here and prepare a quiet room and tea for you, in Lower Fox, you are the big boss of the Wildfire Merchant Group, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I can call the shots." ”

Fawkes was already short in stature, and when he bent down again, his whole face was almost touching Ear's waist, and this angle seemed to be a little inappropriate, and Earle quickly took two steps back away from Fox's face.

The red-haired beauty bowed to Fawkes and Ear and continued to look at the shop, Ear was led by Fox to what he called a quiet cottage with refreshments, saying that the cottage was not small at all, it was more like a meeting room for the bosses to meet, Fawkes pulled out the middle chair and invited Ear to sit down before sitting on the side chair.

"Lord Lord, I heard that you are here this time to discuss cooperation with our business group?

"Boss, I would like to ask you first, how much tax does the church collect from the merchant group every year?"

Il didn't get straight to the point, he knew that churches in all walks of life, countries and regions collect taxes in God's name, and they don't treat businesses by the amount of money they make to determine their profits, but by the size of the store and the industry they work in.

"This ...... What do you mean by that...... Every year, the church asks the wildfire merchants to offer 20,000 gold coins to God. ”

Fawkes didn't know what Il's intention was when he suddenly mentioned this, but he didn't dare to answer randomly, wondering if the lord from the country of Otos was deliberately testing himself, so he could only answer neutrally first.

But in fact, to be honest, Fox himself doesn't like the church, obviously a bunch of social worms who don't do anything, but he keeps saying that his god's agent forcibly collects taxes for worshipping gods, but no one has the strength to ignore the church, and those old men who believe in God are all powerful magicians for some reason, and the church must have some means to dare to run rampant on the mainland for so many years.

"Twenty thousand gold is a small amount for the Wildfire Traders, right? I don't think Boss Fox cares about this small amount of money. ”

Yier smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him, first took a deep breath and smelled the fragrance of the tea, then the tongue was retracted and concave, and he inhaled the tea soup in a big gulp, and finally exhaled slowly, so that this part of the air with the strong aroma of the tea soup was exhaled together with the air in the lungs, this tea was quite good, but it was a pity that there was a little less domineering aroma, the fragrance was too light, and it was too easy to be covered by other tastes.

"Your Excellency, what do you say...... You might as well tell me clearly, 20,000 gold coins are not much, and they are not too little, but after all, they are money given away for no reason, who can not feel distressed?"

Fox kind of understood what he meant, but he still didn't understand why he said these things to himself, could it be that he had some ideas for the church and wanted to use his own business group? Although he was also disgusted with the church, it was better for others to do the role of the leader, and no one wanted to be the first person to openly oppose the church.

"Boss Fox is a man who understands, if one day you don't have to pay the church's share of taxes, would you be willing?"

Joke, what's the reason for not wanting to do this kind of thing? But it's impossible for you to stop paying for nothing, right? Fox doesn't believe that such a good thing can fall from the sky and fall on his head with a snap.

“...... Lord Lord, our Wildfire Merchant Group can only be regarded as a middle-to-upper-sized merchant group among so many merchant groups, and in terms of financial resources and strength, there are even more powerful people than us, why did you find us?"

"Because I need you, and I also believe in the strength and reputation of the Wildfire Merchant Order, if you also believe me, I can promise that your Merchant Group will soon become the largest merchant group in the entire Free Federation, Boss Fox, are you interested?"

Fawkes couldn't help but be moved when he heard Yier's words, becoming the largest merchant group in the Free Federation? This is something he has always dreamed of, but everyone will say that it is so simple to really do it, at least the business coverage of the four major merchant groups that are pressing on his head is much wider than his own wildfire business group.

"My lord, to tell you the truth, I am very interested in what you said, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that I don't even know what you want to do and how to do it, so I really don't dare to ...... directly."

Fox looked embarrassed, this man had been talking for so long and wouldn't say what he was going to do, either he had a big business or was playing tricks on me.

"Boss Fox, in the next few years, I want to develop a number of new industries, and the few ore veins in the hands of Wildfire are exactly what I need the most now, so I want to cooperate with your Wildfire Merchant Group, and in the future, the goods I make will be sold by Wildfire agents, and these commodities will definitely be popular on the mainland, and the supply will exceed demand. ”

Ill swore to Fox and said, but Fox frowned, it is good for young people to have ideals, but this realistic society will not make it smooth sailing for you just because you are a nobleman or a king, the road of business is not so easy to walk, and a number of new industries can be developed in just a few years? If it was so easy, someone would have figured it out a long time ago.

"Lord Lord, it's not that I want to attack you, but do you know what you're talking about? There is already a very mature industrial chain on the mainland, from mining to processing to people's lives, all of this has been developed perfectly, what kind of industry do you want to develop?"

Ilr stood up suddenly, he sneered with his hands on the table, how many years will these ignorant people be bound by theocracy before they are willing to face this problem and unite against the church?

"Have you ever imagined what it's like to fly into the blue sky? Have you ever imagined that your relatives thousands of miles away can contact you at any time? Have you ever imagined that human beings no longer need gods, and that they can fight against the darkness and even make the dark night bright? You don't! The vast majority of people on this continent don't! If I say I can do these things, do you dare to bet on whether what I say is true?"
