Chapter 185: The Legendary Merchant (Part II)

"Lord Lesterlos, have you ever seen fallen leaves?" Jonas looked at Lesterlos with a hint of emotion on his face, perhaps the legendary merchant was not willing to bury the bustling White Horse City with his own hands.

"White Horse City is like a big tree, its roots are intertwined, all the nobles are deeply rooted here, they absorb the nutrients of White Horse City, all the branches and leaves are deeply ruled by them, but one day, the roots rot, the trees begin to wither, just like the world will have spring, summer, autumn and winter, trees also need to be reincarnated, only by cutting off the rotten roots, we can usher in the second season of spring. ”

Jonas took a deep look at Lestero and said slowly, "The old times are over!"

Yes, the old times are over.

It was buried by Jonas himself, and the curtain of the new era will be opened by him.

Poof!

Blood splattered, and a nobleman silently appeared behind Lesterlo, a dagger with a cold glow plunging from his back into his heart. Lestero looked at the man behind him in disbelief, such a ruler of Whitehorse City, who had fallen here forever with regret and shame in the midst of conspiracy and betrayal.

"Brother, it's all over!" Without a hint of emotion, Lesterlos' brother Arthur slowly pulled out the dagger that had been plunged into his brother's back.

............

It is unimaginable that Lesterlos has been lurking by his side all this time until he dies.

Starting with the Great Depression.

Jonas is such a merchant leader, he has always actively dealt with the fluctuation of food prices, no matter what the period, Jonas is like the purest businessman, although he has the inherent greed of a businessman, but in the face of nobles, he has always maintained humility, in the eyes of Lestero, Jonas is a commoner who aspires to become a nobleman, he has always been a more reliable ally.

And it is precisely the ally of such a camp that he personally hatches a conspiracy to subvert everything.

............

Wang Xiaotian rode through the tall gates of White Horse City, feeling a little emotional, he had been paying attention to everything that was happening in the city, and as a bystander, he had witnessed how a legendary merchant had played with an entire class.

And when he walked into White Horse City under the escort of Kereh, Jonas was already standing quietly on the side of the road waiting for Wang Xiaotian like a harmless little businessman.

"Greetings to you, Honorable Lord, Jonas," Jonas leaned slightly, and the angle and expression on his face were perfect, and even the most demanding etiquette teacher could not find fault with it.

Wang Xiaotian didn't answer, he just sat on the horse and quietly stared at the legendary businessman in front of him.

This is an extremely dangerous figure!

"Let's go, let's go and see this Xiongguan in the west!" After a long time, Wang Xiaotian said slowly.

Lesterlos underestimated the power of the merchant, but Wang Xiaotian didn't, if Jonas wanted to make any more small moves, his butcher's knife couldn't help but hesitate.

If Lesterlos is decisive.

When Wang Xiaotian's soldiers came to the city, he simply slaughtered all these merchants, just like a madman during World War II, and suppressed these merchants strongly.

There may be a glimmer of life in White Horse City.

obtained the largest wealth in White Horse City, Lesterlos can at least last for another half a month, and in half a month, the winter of the Northern Wilderness will completely cover the entire Northern Wilderness, and Wang Xiaotian will have to leave with regret at that time.

Of course, this would also have led to a lack of communication between the nobles and the workers, but how could the workers be able to fight against them, given that Lesterlos had the vast majority of the army in his hands and had lost the support of the merchants.

However, it was all over.

From the moment Lesterlos chooses to believe Jonas, it's all over.

The Chamber of Commerce led by Jonas is indeed actively suppressing the grain family, but at the same time, they also secretly raise food prices, and when food prices tend to flatten, they begin to manipulate public opinion to cause a large number of shopping booms.

With the help of this craze, they not only sold a large amount of waste goods, but also succeeded in planting a piece of gunpowder in Whitehorse.

Then, the Great Depression arose.

When the irretrievable Great Depression appeared, Lesterlos did it again, and he again chose to trust the merchants, who he ordered to appease the unemployed workers and try to rely on the merchant class to suppress the working class.

Merchants took advantage of this opportunity.

They came forward to reassure the workers, they constantly encouraged and treated the workers, and during this time, the merchants succeeded in establishing a decent image, and all the workers felt that the merchants had done their best, and they had done their best to help the workers.

The source of all evil is pointed to the aristocracy.

The evil aristocrats, whose granaries are full of grain, are stingy and greedy, and constantly oppress the merchants, all of which invisibly point the finger at the merchants.

And then.

Jonas had the merchants start agitating the workers, and the first conflict broke out, which led to the death of a nobleman.

In this case, Lestero managed to take a hard line and suppress the rebellion with bloody brutality, but he was wrong, and his acquiescence to the massacre completely detonated the confrontation between the two classes.

How could a worker with no weapons and no combat experience be able to fight an army of those professions, and it is clear that the workers have always been at a disadvantage in the struggle.

So, Jonas struck again.

He found a strong hand like old Locke, constantly mixed in with the workers, and at the right time provoked conflicts, so that the nobles and the workers were always in a state of red eyes, and then, he quietly allocated a large number of weapons and planted a lot of gang members, and began to plan a second riot.

......

All the conspiracies are linked one by one, Jonas is like a big boss hidden behind the scenes, inducing Leseros to the abyss step by step, and what makes people feel terrifying is that Jonas has been in a state of "good guy" in this plot planned by himself.

The workers did not resent the merchants.

Because merchants are also oppressed beings, they also do their best, and the aristocracy does not hate merchants, and the merchants have been actively pacifying in such a great depression, and they are the most active.

And it is precisely in the stratum that everyone is most concerned about that they plot and betray everyone.

............

Thinking about the whole process of Lestero's failure, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be frightened, and looked at Jonas on the side again, Wang Xiaotian, who thought that he didn't have such scheming, began to remind himself constantly in his mind to be careful of this harmless guy who laughed at people.
