I rested for a while this afternoon.,After getting up in the evening, I started tinnitus.,I'm dizzy for a while.,Squeezing out this chapter is already the limit.,There's only one more today.,I'm so sorry!!

=====================

The businessmen in the entire conference room were like cicadas, and some of them were pale, indignant, and dared not speak out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info There are people who are scared in their hearts, sweating and dodging their eyes.

Sarcomo, who was sitting on the main seat, did not have much emotion on his face, but his eyes were a little deeper. He knows very well in his heart that every change will touch the interests of some people, look at the Chamber of Commerce in Bell Province, every change in business means that some businessmen are eliminated by the times. These people may not have the ability and courage, but they think too highly of themselves and try to use their arms as a car. After talking to Wren in detail a few days ago, he decided to resolutely support Wren's decision.

And he believed that soon these fidgeting merchants would soon forget about this unhappiness.

Someone raised his hand and stood up and whispered, "That...... , I want to make it easier, I drank too much water, hehe!", the person who spoke wiped his sweat and lowered his head, not daring to meet Wren's gaze.

Wren glanced at him, the man's chubby body shook, and he pointed to the chair, "Sit back!"

The man's face turned pale, and he sat down again with a dry smile, as if saying to himself, "It's okay, it's okay, I can bear with it." ”

Sarcomo called the people in, and the lifeless bodies were quickly rolled up in a fine cashmere blanket and removed from the conference room. The blood on the table and the marks on the floor were also cleaned up in a very short time.

The conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, a fresh life, or a familiar life, disappeared in front of them in a blink of an eye, for these businessmen, it was still too shocking.

Wren nodded, slowly walked back to his place and sat down, his eyes were more or less focused on him, he didn't care, "Continuing the topic just now, take the smoke bricks of Dragon Island as an example, I have extracted higher taxes, and I will naturally give greater benefits, let me simply say that for these commodities that need to be taxed more, in my place, I will exercise the 'monopoly of special commodities'!", he crossed his legs, crossed the ten fingers of his hands together, and gently tapped the back of his right index finger, "What is the monopoly of special commodities?" To put it simply, only merchants who have the monopoly of this particular commodity are allowed to import smoke bricks from Byron. There is only one indicator of the monopoly of each commodity. ”

"For example, if Mr. Sarcomo obtains the monopoly of the Dragon Island Tobacco Bricks, then on my territory, only he is the only one who buys and sells and transports the Dragon Island Tobacco Bricks legally, and it is illegal for anyone other than him to buy and sell and transport the Dragon Island Tobacco Bricks. The Imperial Constitution gives me the power to adjudicate against the law, and all bricks that enter Orlando illegally will be seized and burned. The merchants' expressions changed suddenly, and they more or less glanced at the already empty chairs, and he interjected at an inopportune time.

This commodity monopoly is simply an officially licensed monopoly, and think of it, the entire Orlando Empire has more than 2,000 powerful families of all sizes, as well as tens of thousands of merchants. These people are all consumers of Dragon Island tobacco bricks, and hundreds of thousands or more of them are consumed by the Orlando Empire every year. If these businesses are all in the hands of one person, it only takes two or three years to artificially create a super business empire.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the potential benefits that will come from mastering this channel. For example, if you are knighted, you have money, and you have a way, and it is not too difficult for a businessman to become an imperial noble.

Moreover, this monopoly is officially licensed and maintained, and no matter what problems arise, there will be a privileged class to help them settle .......

But soon, they thought that the person who had made this promise was no more than the lord of a city, and their bloodshot heads calmed down a little.

Wren knew what they were thinking, and gave them time to think, and then said with a thought in his hand: "From the end of this meeting, not a single monopoly commodity in Ortlenburg, and even in the entire Weimar corridor, will enter the empire through illegal channels. ”

Sarcomo also said: "From today onwards, the Bell Chamber of Commerce will support Baron Rennes' political development as much as possible, we can't give Baron Rennes too much help, but money, everything!", his conceited smile suddenly enlivened the atmosphere, saying that other capable businessmen can't do it, but when it comes to money, it's really too much to count.

Everyone's eyes were shining with wisdom, and they could already imagine that once Wren returned to the imperial capital and obtained a higher status and privileges with their help, then the scope of this "commodity monopoly" would be even wider. If one day, Wren becomes a big man like the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Generalissimo of the Empire, then this monopoly will radiate to the entire Empire! Even if he can't do it, with the ability of one piece, he can still radiate half of the Empire.

Everyone is panting, and they all have their own calculations for business. Even if Wren's monopoly could only affect the province of Bell, the merchants would not be at a loss, as long as Wren could ensure that no one but them could transport Byron's goods through the Weimar corridor, and they would still make money even if they were taxed more. The cost and risk of sea transportation is much higher than that of land transportation, and the cost of transportation to Bell Province is not competitive at all.

At the very least, it ensured that in the case of reciprocity, they would get higher profits and greater rights to operate goods in the Bell Province.

In short, as long as Wren can guarantee that he can do all the things he promised, then it is worth supporting the discarding of some of the old rules.

Wren finished everything he had to say, exchanged a look with Sarcomo and left, leaving the rest of the discussion time within the Bell Chamber of Commerce. They need to make a series of adjustments to adapt to the latest "Rennes Law" as quickly as possible.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Wren did not take the carriage, but chose to walk. The city was so dilapidated that successive lords had not had time to assert their political ambitions and fell into the struggle with local forces. Unfunded cities look like oversized slums, full of corruption and dilapidation. Residents lacking livelihood and jobs roam the streets, hoping to find some work, but they will eventually become disappointed to become the lowest echelons of the power.

But at the same time, the city has a lot of potential.

Wren sees one thing differently than others, others only see the negative things about the city, and it expands infinitely. Wren, on the other hand, saw the infinite possibilities in these negative contents.

The city is very "young", and once the inhabitants lose the means to earn a living, such as age, such as disability, it is equivalent to losing their lives. Unlike some highly developed commercial ports, the city is rich and wealthy people who like to immigrate to the past to enjoy their old age, making those cities increasingly age. The average age of the residents of this city, known as the City of Chaos and the City of Sin, is very low, and there is hardly an old man in sight on the streets, at most about forty years old.

A young city means that if someone can bring her into normalcy, she will run all the way in the shocked gaze of others!

"Have Kent and Poole come to me these days?" Wren bought from a small roadside shop several handmade wooden ornaments in the shape of mythological figures and two wooden crosses.

The cross is one of the symbols of the Church of the Light, which is said to have had a true God in antiquity, but was later suppressed by some unknown force. In today's Holy See Sunset City, it is said that there is still a statue of this god, which has stood for thousands of years, and not even moss has grown. On Christmas Day, the idol glows and attracts tourists and devotees from all over the world to worship it every year.

Blair scratched his head, "I haven't heard of them visiting, and even if they did, I wouldn't give them a good look." ”

Wren paused, his gentle expression became a little colder, and he was thinking about whether the two of them were going to make a moth again. He never speculates on other people's mentality, but puts himself into the other person's role, and then uses various angles to figure out how he will behave in a certain situation. In his speculation, the current Poole and Kent should be anxious to see him, and then wash away some of his suspicions and beg for his forgiveness.

With Harvey as a role model and Wren's forgiveness, there's no reason why they shouldn't give it a try.

After all, he was the lord of the city, the master of the city, the supreme administrator, and held the power to change their positions. If necessary, he can directly appoint and dismiss the supreme commander of the security station, or he can appeal to the capital of Bell Province to change the selection of the supreme commander of the city defense army.

But it's been two days, and neither guy has come to .......

Wren had to think about the worst, they were afraid that they were going to be in danger, and the sword was off the edge.

Assassination!

Wren's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly, "During this time, the security and defense of the City Lord's Mansion have been done properly, and if you need someone to ask for the Chamber of Commerce, my life will be handed over to you, Blair." ”

Blair didn't know why, straightened his chest, slammed his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord!"
