The day after Elsa was out of danger, Vincent posted a notice in the castle early in the morning.

In fact, after arriving in the territory, Vincent often posted notices in the castle.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like it's fun, and the lord will ask the Boulder Chamber of Commerce to work overtime to print some prints, and then let the group of children adopted by the church go all over the city to post small notes.

As long as you are in the city and outside the city, there is only one who does not want to see it, and there is nothing that you can't see.

Generally speaking, the content of the announcement is either about the release of toys or the news of the competition, and there is nothing related to territorial governance.

It is his private matter that the lord does not seek advancement, and the people are used to it, so they naturally don't care.

Anyway, if you can get toys to earn copper plates, or participate in competitions to earn bonuses, as long as the people have a mouth, they will spare no effort to publicize these absurd news as the lord's virtue and politics.

This time, though, the people who want to see the news of the new contest or Miss Ninia's gift will be disappointed.

When the news was read by the territorial officials or the literate people, everyone had a sense of astonishment.

Hey? Lord, is this a transsexual to get down to business?

The proclamation announced that in order to reduce the price of goods in the territory and reorganize the market order of Silver Dragon Castle, Lord Vincent intends to rectify commercial taxation from now on, focusing on the verification of tax arrears, tax evasion, smuggling and sales of prohibited goods and other violations.

Once the above illegal acts are discovered, they will definitely be strictly enforced, and the violators will be prosecuted, with fines and confiscation at the least, and arrest and interrogation at the worst.

As soon as the news was released, the ordinary people first breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the recent discord between the lords and merchants in the territory has led to the rise in prices, which has made the common people miserable.

In fact, they also knew very well that the demon lord and the subordinates of the group of undead creatures could completely suck the magic stone and not eat, and they didn't have to care whether the people who ate the food were dead or alive.

Therefore, even if this was to clean up the merchants, the people expressed support for the lord's decision to lower prices.

Ordinary people only pay a poll tax, not a commercial tax at all, and no matter how strict these measures are, they will not be affected.

On the contrary, merchants control goods and trade routes, and have a far greater impact on prices than merchants.

In the eyes of the people, the vampire profiteers and the demon lords are all the same thing, and it is best to tear each other to death.

Therefore, whether it is out of the real expectation of price reduction, or out of the curiosity psychology of watching the excitement, the people are generally more supportive of the lord to rectify the market, so that everyone can buy cheap goods.

In addition, the lord clearly understood the strategy of "uniting the majority and striking at the few", and he added an empathetic addition to the announcement.

"There is a reward for reporting and verifying!"

After more than a month of getting along, although Vincent did not have the benevolent act of repairing bridges and roads, he at least did what he said, and there was no discount when distributing copper coins and competition bonuses.

The people do not stand without faith.

Even if he is a demon, the people trust the lord to keep his promise.

Many people saw an opportunity in this, and out of selfishness or grudges, they secretly found the castle of the lord, hoping to report to Vincent about the illegal activities of the profiteers.

Even Vincent didn't know that these people could have so many grievances against their fellow clans that they had to appeal to the demons.

In this boiling situation, Vincent had not yet taken any action, and the anti-lord business group led by Luke, the boss of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, this is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy.

The collection of taxes in the territory is reasonable and legal, and even the gods do not think there is anything wrong with it.

The rectification of commerce, the recovery of tax arrears, and the strict investigation of smuggling cannot be denied by any monarch or judge.

Even if the demon clan wants to take advantage of this to make waves, it is reasonable and conforms to the will of the people.

The trick that businessmen used to use in the past to play the race card and the history card in public opinion will not work this time.

As for sealing the mouths of the people and preventing them from denunciating, it is even more operational, tens of thousands of people live inside and outside the city of Silver Dragon Castle, and it is impossible to threaten and buy them all.

The entire Silver Dragon Castle has been set on fire by the lord's decree, directly transferring the people's grievances from the demons to the merchants.

The demons have been forced to be diligent by profiteers, can the people still support it?

The lords were ready to be the masters of the people, and the merchants could only quickly let their subordinates rein in, and gather up the evidence that was easy to find, and then consider lowering the price a little.

However, for some reason, Luke, the president of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, seems to be in a very bad mood lately, always absent-minded, and does not consider accepting suggestions for temporary concessions or overtures to the lord.

In return, he even ordered a drastic reduction in the amount of supplies that the Chamber of Commerce had brought into the city.

It's unclear why Luke is so tough, but the other merchants clearly don't have that much confidence.

In the evening of the same day, many merchants' shops began to cut off the price from the price list and replace it with a lower price.

In addition, in the black market in the city, there are also many things from unknown sources that are being dealt with at low prices.

It's all in Vincent's eyes.

It's a pity that he is a demon and will not be relentless after being insulted.

Moreover, he is not a traditional demon who despises the people, he is a non-mainstream lord who has insisted on following the mass line from the beginning.

On the day Elsa woke up, Vincent didn't pay all his attention to her, he put down his beloved toy and arranged two rare political affairs for the territory.

First of all, Vinson sent his idol Ninia Wald to appear and bring a large group of skeletons to put up banners in the streets and launch a parade with great fanfare.

The news of the territorial idol Ninia on the street instantly detonated the emotions of the people.

For a moment, the people of Silver Dragon Castle poured into the streets, filling all the roads she passed.

Of course, the theme should be closely related to current events, and people have seen those propaganda banners, some of which read, "Paying taxes is glorious, tax evasion is shameful", and some of which read "Take from the people, use it for the people".

Of course, on the most direct banner, it is prominently written, "Taxpayers are indignant and dare to resist taxes."

In addition to Vincent's skeleton troops, there were also orphans who had taken the money, and they also took to the streets from the church.

This time, they showed their not very skillful, but eye-catching singing skills, and made up songs of the tax slogans given to them by the lord, and sang them all the way.

As the procession passed, some of the weak-minded merchants simply closed their shops.

This kind of behavior of three hundred taels of silver here makes the onlookers point their fingers, as if they have drawn a bull's-eye on themselves.

However, as Lord Vincent often said, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, and some people are frightened, and some people raise their hands to cheer.

The lord's good friend, the barbarian Sni Coolster, also got the news in advance.

Before the parade began, she cleaned all the shops in the city of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, placed a large number of goods, and directly put up a sign of "20% off sale" according to the lord's suggestion.

At the entrance of the main store of the Jushi Chamber of Commerce, there was even a signboard that was said to be written by the lord himself, on which were written eight words that no one could understand - "genuine, Tong Su is not deceitful".

Many years later, in front of the members of the clan, the patriarch Shni Coolster would recall the distant afternoon when the lord hung the sign on the door of the chamber of commerce.

But that's all for later.

Encouraged by the propaganda that went on, more people were infected, and they joined the marches, turning all kinds of unhappiness into dissatisfaction with prices.

If it weren't for the lord's subordinates to maintain order, this propaganda petition would have turned into smashing and looting.

"It is necessary to pay attention to the strategy of struggle, first of all, to fight civilly, not to fight." Vincent said to the lichs in a serious voice, "How can a good thing like martial arts steal the limelight from others." ”

That night, Vincent received a report that the people of Silver Dragon Castle had gathered in front of the Lord's Castle and demanded that the Lord carry out a rectification operation as soon as possible to wipe out the unscrupulous merchants.

Even if many of them were sent by the church, the Mage Guild, and the Giant Stone Chamber of Commerce, no one could deny that this was an unprecedented public support in the history of Silver Dragon Castle.

"My lord, what if they don't admit it for perjury?" Someone shouted from below the castle, "Will you spare the treacherous?" ”

"People, justice may be late, but it will never be absent." Vincent waved warmly to the crowd and loudly proclaimed with amplification magic, "The wicked have their own demons." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of swaying white figures rose behind him, fluttering and swaying in the night wind, and making unsettling strange sounds.

"It is rare for the witnesses of the yang and the underworld to be gathered." Vincent licked his lips, "The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, it's time to go to the whole day." ”
