Chapter 190: Killing the Pig (2)
Merchant.
This is a group of people full of contradictions, some businessmen can become legends and change the consumption mode of an era, but more businessmen are intoxicated by all kinds of snobbery, they are more in pursuit of greater profits, for this, they are willing to take risks.
The merchants of Whitehorse City belong to the vast majority of the people, they don't have the kind of vision of the few, so they always do stupid things.
"Honorable Baron Blackstone, I don't know what you plan to do with those people," Jonas, the legendary great businessman was sitting quietly in front of Wang Xiaotian, he sighed lightly and asked slowly.
Looking at this man who looked like an upstart on the outside, Wang Xiaotian didn't despise it very much, as far as he knew, since the orcs came to White Horse City, this legendary merchant had been well-behaved and couldn't be well-behaved.
"Those people?" Wang Xiaotian pretended not to know and smiled silently.
Jonas chuckled, and he said easily, "Forget it, those people have nothing to do with me anyway." The group of people killed by the adults in the square has already deterred many people, and it is enough for the security and stability of White Horse City. As for those people, they do give you some food. ”
Hearing Jonas's words, Wang Xiaotian became more and more vigilant in his heart.
Although this Jonas is a businessman, his political sense is unexpectedly keen, and he knows very well that Wang Xiaotian will not distribute certain businessmen. It's not just because these merchants are doing some small things behind their backs, but because the merchants have food in their hands.
Grain!
Don't think that White Horse City is really out of food, in fact, Andy, the Earl of the West, took away the grain on the surface, and the merchants are always unexpected. Many people have a straightforward understanding of what they need, and you can always find the right goods from them, as long as you have enough money.
Every merchant is very shrewd, and at least they must have a certain stock of such necessities as grain, but they are always reluctant to take it out. They would rather have their grain moldy and smelly than have it sold cheaply and then make themselves lose money.
In Wang Xiaotian's eyes, this group of people is the guy whose soul has been completely corrupted by money.
"Jonas, do you think my appetite is so small?" Wang Xiaotian looked at Jonas with interest, facing this man who could always deal with things without being surprised, he wanted to see his surprised expression.
"This group of merchants has begun to challenge my bottom line, after today, those guys in the city who participated in the plot will be crucified in the square, and their property will be confiscated, including food, but, in order to warn these merchants, from today onwards, all the necessities of White Horse City will belong to the city council!"
Wang Xiaotian's words were very quiet, but they made Jonas's hand holding the chair tight.
The necessities of life belong to the City Administration Department!
In other words, from now on, the entire White Horse City will be sold by the government for food and other daily necessities, and any food that appears on the market will be hit by the government.
This is tantamount to an official legal monopoly of the entire Hakuba lifestyle market.
Jonas is a very smart person, he knows very well how much energy a businessman has, I heard that the Erathia you gave was divided because of the merchant, Wang Xiaotian is now going to completely monopolize a certain market, how dare he?!
Completely opposed to the power of a class, how dare a nobleman do such a thing!
"I forgot to tell you, outside Blackstone Town is Boer City," Wang Xiaotian spit out a sentence gently, which instantly made Jonas understand that behind Wang Xiaotian was the entire southwest.
With the support of the city of Boer, the market for the daily necessities of the city of white horse is so insignificant in the huge market of merchants in the southwest.
Merchants are shrewd, they don't offend Bol because of White Horse, they don't offend a city that treats merchants kindly, and they don't be stupid enough to go against the ruler.
"Not only that!!The tariffs of the entire White Horse City facing the Northern Wilderness, as well as any rare ores in the Northern Wilderness, and even all the exports of the Northern Wilderness, must be reformulated, not only to control the necessities of life, but also to take down the most important flow of materials in the Northern Wilderness in the entire White Horse City!"
Wang Xiaotian grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, it can be said that restricting the daily necessities market in the entire White Horse City is just a warning to merchants, and completely controlling tariffs and the entry and exit of materials is complete domination.
He wanted the merchants to know what rights were.
Behind Wang Xiaotian is the entire southwest, in the future it will be the entire west, he will be the only voice in the west, now the violet war is endless, he believes that he will rule the west for a long time in the future, and for the trade in the west, he is supportive of the general trend, but for the white horse city he wants to completely control.
Not only because of the key geographical location of Whitehorse, but also because Whitehorse has seen the beginning of capitalism, which is a force that can subvert everything, and the reason why it controls Whitehorse is not only for Whitehorse, but also a warning to the merchants of the entire west, always reminding those merchants not to touch the bottom line.
............
Just after Wang Xiaotian brutally and completely changed the rules of the entire White Horse City, the massacre was not over.
Stilwell interrogated one famous gang leader after another in a pitch-black cell, and his methods were so brutal that they could give nightmares to countless people, and a series of names of wealthy merchants who could upend most of Whitehorse were reported.
Orcs don't care about the energy behind these names.
On such a sunny day, countless orcs rushed into the extravagant mansions, and these hideous-looking orcs did not QJ the beautiful maids in those mansions, nor did they rush into the treasury to rob those wealth, what they did was even more appalling.
These tall orcs carried the noblely dressed and well-behaved big merchants out of the mansion like dead dogs, and the big men who usually sneezed in Charming City and even Erdos were like beggars on the side of the road.
Not just one, but most of the most famous merchants in White Horse City were dragged out of the mansion one by one by the orcs, and then under the leadership of Stilwell, they ransacked each mansion from head to toe.
this day.
The brutal figure of the orcs appeared in most of the mansions in the city, and in the face of any resistance, the merciless killing directly made everyone silent, and some bold businessmen also tried to resist, but the orcs didn't care what those merchants represented, and directly splashed blood on the spot, at that moment, the merchants of the city found out that these new guys were not Lesterlo.
Don't tease them when they're willing to follow the rules at the table, or the orcs may flip the table for you at any moment.
The power of wealth is indeed very powerful, but in such a cold winter, wealth is completely crushed to pieces by power.
