2175 Public Enemy of the Continent (3)

In the port of Kailo, the largest port on the North Erot coast, a fleet of merchant ships is slowly stopping in the port, led by a Wacker God-class transport ship with a triangular hull, under the white sail printed with the three-color sunflower coat of arms of the Eero Empire, a young Eero nobleman with a white turban stood on the bow of the ship, his eyes swept over the merchant ships from the Falcon Empire that were docked in the port with the waves, and he was very dissatisfied and took a list of goods from the servants behind him, his eyes swept over, and his face suddenly became colder, turned around, and said to a middle-aged man behind him"Klaas, what's going on?Port Kello is the most important port for our Solomon Chamber of Commerce, but why, this month's trade volume has been reduced by three percent, if you don't have this ability, I'll change someone" "Young Master Blasi, it's not that his subordinates don't work hard, there's really no way""

The middle-aged merchant in the golden satin robe had a miserable face and wanted to cry, and when he heard the young nobleman's reprimand, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he hurriedly said: "In the past, our Solomon Chamber of Commerce monopolized the trade north of the Inland Sea, but since the arrival of the Falcon Empire's merchant ships, it is no longer possible for us to continue our monopoly on the north of the Inland Sea!" Losing this huge head north of the Inland Sea, coupled with the fact that the number of merchant ships in the Falcon Empire has increased significantly in recent months, more than twice as much as before, not only our Solomon Chamber of Commerce has been squeezed out of a lot of shares, but even the Ali Chamber of Commerce 5 is not having a good time there, if it continues like this, in less than a year, the Falcon Empire's business alliance will become the real master of Port Kailo!"

"Master, what are you kidding, an outsider dares to be so rampant, is it really the Solomon Chamber of Commerce that I have been a few hundred years old and can be bullied at will!" Blasi, the major chairman of the first major chamber of commerce in the Eero Empire, snorted with a gloomy face, and there was a trace of arrogance in his tone that could not be hidden, "What do you mean by Governor Basinla, our Solomon Chamber of Commerce pays a large amount of tribute every year, is this the treatment?" Blasi paused in his voice and waved his hand to the head of the branch, Klaas. You go and sue the governor for not doing anything with the money. Then don't blame us for being ruthless and unrighteous in the Solomon Chamber of Commerce! On the Prime Minister's side, we can also speak up! Allowing foreign chambers of commerce to bully the local chamber of commerce like him is not an exaggeration to say that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, you know, this is the most hated crime of His Majesty Farouk, removal from office, confiscation of property are light, and it is not impossible to make his entire clan the lowest slave!"

"I've also looked for Governor Basinla!"

The head of the Solomon Branch, Klaas, said with an ugly wry smile on his face, "Lord Governor, said that after the Falcon Empire Navy swept away the Strand and Fesan Navy, it was already a veritable overlord of the Inland Sea. Without receiving an order from the royal capital, even if he was the governor of the region, he would not dare to offend these Falcon Empire merchants at will! After all, the Falcon Empire's navy had shelled the capital of the Gangfei Empire."

"Even so, you can't indulge in reckless behavior!" Blasi's tone softened, the Governor's thoughts could be understood, the Falcon Empire's expansion in the inland sea area in the last year or two, defeated the Alien navy, defeated the Fishan navy, and stretched from the inner sea to the east for a thousand nautical miles with an unstoppable momentum. It is really unstoppable, not to mention the many murderous shelling of land port cities with warships, and even arrogantly driving warships into inland waterways, which really annoys the Falcon Empire. Who dares to say that the Falcon Imperial Navy would not dare to turn Kello Harbor into a ruin, and then follow the Kello estuary to the south, all the way to the Imperial Capital, even if it is not an attack. Even if it is an appearance or a turn, it is enough for the entire king to be a sensation.

If such a thing really happens, even if this Governor Basinla is alive, it is no wonder that he will stubbornly resist the pressure from the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, as a chamber of commerce organization that has existed since the establishment of the Erot Empire, has a history of hundreds of years, just like a huge cangshu rooted in the Eero Empire, and its scattered trade routes cover a third of the southern part of the Obarro, it is a real behemoth, for a regional governor, there is no need to be too respectful,

On the contrary, in the face of the infiltration of the forces from another behemoth business alliance of the Falcon Empire, it is the thing that makes the Solomon Chamber of Commerce nervous, these huge and round sail ships belonging to the business alliance always arrive at Kello Harbor with a dazzling variety of goods, and now it is good to say that the Falcon Empire Business Alliance is only expanding in the coastal area, but if it is not stopped, it may not take five years, this huge Chamber of Commerce from the Falcon Empire will be like the frightening greedy expansion of the Falcon Empire, snatching away the sphere of influence that originally belonged to the Solomon Chamber of Commerce one by one, so that the Solomon Chamber of Commerce has been prosperous for hundreds of years, like a fish that has lost its water, is dried to death!

It's not sensationalism, it's what's happening

Since the Falcon Empire opened the inland sea, a large number of merchant fleets have poured in, and the commercial impact from the northern part of the inland sea has made the Solomon Chamber of Commerce lose one-tenth of its commercial share, and the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, which is known as the largest chamber of commerce in Southern Europe, is still the case, not to mention those small chambers of commerce with poor ability to resist the impact, because there is no sea area control, the Falcon Empire's merchant ships can pass through the entire inland sea without paying a penny, and they need to pay a large number of tolls and hire ships to escort, in the case of the continuous influx of a large number of merchant ships in the Falcon Empire, these small caravans are the first to be squeezed, and finally collapse, for this situation, Solomon Chamber of Commerce and other large chambers of commerce not only did not have the slightest intention of saving, but took the opportunity to annex and expand, just like big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp, in less than two years, hundreds of local chambers of commerce in Port Kailo, now except for seven or eight large chambers of commerce such as Solomon and Ali, have basically disappeared.

In this case, this is the case in the ports along the southern part of the Inland Sea, and if you look at these merchant ships docked at the port of Kailo, you can see that less than a quarter belong to the Hérault Empire, about one-fifth from other countries, and the rest are large merchant ships flying the falcon flag, and the port is full of people

Boiling, most of the people who talk and talk are merchants and sailors with strong accents in the Falcon Empire, abounding, people who don't know, do you still think you are walking in the ports of the Falcon Empire, looking at the goods piled up on the port, cotton from the Nordic Barrow, the colorful weaving of Gangfei, the various products of the Central European Barrow, and the Falcon porcelain, which has only recently become popular and extravagant, occupies more than half of the port warehouse,

The reason why it is said is falcon porcelain. It is because these porcelains are not from the distant Central Berean Empire, but from the hands of porcelain craftsmen from the northern Falcon Empire, compared to the porcelain of the Central Berean Empire, the porcelain of the Falcon Empire has more patterns and shapes, and the color is more gorgeous, although this color is dyed with fuel in the later period, and it is far inferior to the fine products of the real Central Beak Empire in terms of fineness, but the price is cheap, and the ordinary ones only need a few gold coins, even if it is a fine porcelain from the official empire. It's only a dozen gold, such an affordable price, you can get a piece of porcelain that is rumored to be only available to the big nobles for only a dozen gold, which just caters to the purchase of many middle-class nobles**,

After buying some, the Solomon Chamber of Commerce resold it to other countries in the interior through its own trade routes, which were very popular, and often the price was more than tripled and the supply exceeded demand, so it was so profitable. How can it not be exciting, because of this, Blasi, the young merchant master of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, will come to Port Kello in person. The purpose is one, to monopolize this porcelain trade, and the Solomon Chamber of Commerce has its own fleet of long-sailing merchant ships, which can go directly to the Falcon Empire across the inland sea. If the porcelain route of other chambers of commerce to the Hero Empire can be cut off, then this route will become a windfall profit for the Solomon Chamber of Commerce.

According to this young merchant lord of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce. If it succeeds, the huge profits in it are enough to support the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years, so this young merchant lord now looks at every ship in the port that is not the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, it is a feeling of robbing his own money, if all these porcelains are assigned to the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, if only the Solomon Chamber of Commerce has porcelain, if ......" The young merchant lord with bright eyes sighed not long before a messenger wearing the costume of a servant of the Governor's Mansion found him

"Venerable young merchant lord, my master, Governor Basinla, invites you to be a guest!"

The servant respectfully sent the gilded invitation, and his eyes paused slightly on Blasi, it has long been rumored that this young merchant lord is the one with the highest voice to take over the next generation of leaders of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, and each generation of the leader of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce will appoint three young merchant masters, so that it is easy to eliminate mediocrity and select the best successor, which is also the secret of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce to prosper for hundreds of years,

"What moment?" asked Brassy

"Tonight, at the Governor's Palace," the servant bowed his head respectfully, "It is my honor to be invited by Governor Basinla, please tell the Governor, I will definitely go!" Blasi smiled at the corner of his mouth, very personable, making people feel like a spring breeze, worthy of being the young merchant master of the First Chamber of Commerce, just scolded Ba Xinla like a dog that comes and goes on a moment, and now he showed a look of honor and luck and took the invitation from the messenger servant, the Solomon Chamber of Commerce, as the first Chamber of Commerce of the Eero Empire, naturally does not need to be afraid of a regional governor, but if you want to monopolize the trade power of falcon porcelain in your hands, you can't bypass this Governor Basinla, who is dedicated to managing Port Kello,

Blasi was now thinking about how much money he needed to give to the governor of Basinla in order to make him really desperate to detain all the other merchant fleets selling porcelain, at this time, a servant hurriedly walked over and whispered in his ear, "What you said is true?" If necessary, there are some extraordinary measures that can be used!

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means, what does the military department mean by this!" Blasi's heart couldn't help but tremble, his eyes swept over the merchant ships of the Falcon Empire parked in most of the ports, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, even a fool could see that this was the military department looking for a reason to start a war with the Falcon Empire,

I really want to come to something, with the military department behind him, I may not be able to eat all these Falcon Empire's merchant ships in one bite, and the fat meat sent to my mouth is at least a million or more wealth! This matter must be fast, the military department summoned the person in charge of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce to talk secretly, I believe that several other large chambers of commerce have also received the same secret talks, at this moment, whoever strikes first, who will be able to eat meat in one bite, the invitation of the Governor's Mansion is no longer important, the military department directly obeys the orders of Emperor Farouk Xià, the military department does so, it must also be the instruction of the emperor's majesty, and the Governor's Office can only fully assist

"Klaas, if you do your best, how many people can you gather in the shortest possible time?" Blasi asked in a solemn tone as he looked at Klaas, the head of the Kylo branch next to him

"If you have enough money, you should be able to hire the people you want," Klaas said with some puzzled hesitation, "This is a port, as long as there is money, there are people!"

"I'll give you 50,000 gold coins, withdraw them from the branch accounts, and before midnight tonight, I want to see a thousand people" The corners of Blasi's mouth grinned slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Find another old merchant ship, before midnight today, I will sink the ship and block the port!"
