Because the merchants made another concession and compromise, the final result of the negotiation was relatively unfavorable to the merchants.
Although taxes have been reduced, noble lords can send people to directly participate in the management of the chamber of commerce.
In the parlance of the aristocracy, this is called the power of supervision. As lords, they must ensure that they can monitor every force in their territory, and there must be no truly uncontrolled power. But everyone knows that in this way, the chambers of commerce in each territory will almost completely fall under the control of the local lords.
Although they can usually operate safely and make money, as long as the lord turns against them, they can take the blame at any time, and they can't even think about escaping.
Ordinarily, such a result would be unacceptable to Sui Xiong - how could anyone in the world allow an enemy to live in their home with a knife? Is there water in your head
But for businessmen, as long as the taxes are lower and it does not affect their profits, everything else can be compromised.
In the final analysis, what businessmen care about most is money, and all they care about is money.
When the results of the negotiation came out, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and released the guys who were so smelly that they looked like rotten people. He left directly and returned to the Kingdom of God.
"It's true that the mud can't hold up the wall!" When he returned to the meeting hall, this was what he said, "Mannis, the Merchant Faction is really hopeless!"
The goddess of wealth was a little puzzled and asked: "Isn't this a good result? There is no need to fight."
Sui Xiong couldn't help but be speechless, and then he thought... This is obviously the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! The goddess of wealth herself is a goose who only sees money but no danger. How can she expect the businessman to be shrewd and far-sighted
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Anyway, this matter is finally over." He didn't bother to mention such nonsense anymore and got down to business, "I think our Northwest Republic should take a warning."
"Take a warning?" Gods of the Void God System look at me and I look at you. They don't understand where they need to "take a warning."
After a while, Wall asked: "Your Majesty, in our Northwest Republic, there are no nobles who really hold real power."
Sui Xiong shook his head: "The problem is not here, the problem is - who does our country rely on? Which kind of people are the core of society?"
"It should be a businessman, right?" Wall thought for a while and said, "The Northwest Republic is almost founded on commerce, so of course the core of the country should be businessmen."
"The merchants are too weak and unreliable at heart!" Sui Xiong shook his head and denied this statement, "This time I witnessed their weakness with my own eyes. Obviously I have forced the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction to the same level. As long as they If you insist on not backing down, the nobles will eventually give in - the inheritance issue of businessmen is easy to solve. If you want to stand up to the sky, it is just a division of the family. But can the nobles divide the family? Once the nobles die, their children will be killed just for the sake of fighting for inheritance. Pig brains, not to mention the existence of relatives who have inheritance rights but have a bad relationship with their children... So as long as a group of representatives die, when I arrest the second group of representatives, the nobles will not give in. "
"Although I say that, it's too cruel..." Morani shook his head, "Do you have to kill someone?"
"More people die in wars. Could it be said that the leaders of the aristocratic faction and the merchant faction were raised by their mothers and fathers, but not the miserable soldiers?" Sui Xiong asked in return.
Morani thought for a while and nodded: "You are right. If killing a few big nobles or big businessmen can solve the problem and avoid war, then let them die."
"But in the end, the merchant faction gave in. Because the aristocratic faction was determined not to give in - the aristocratic faction had the determination to kill the first group of people, but the merchant faction did not." Sui Xiong sighed, "Those who can afford to die are reluctant to die. As a result, Instead, he lost to someone who couldn’t afford to die.”
"This is normal. For nobles, maintaining honor is to maintain the inheritance of the family. So they have the courage to fight and die. Almost every family of a real noble has members who died in battle. This is condensed with blood. Their courage is incomparable to the merchants." Law God of Law, Law Blanc, said, "In fact, you can tell by looking at the armies of both sides. The armies of the nobles are often led by the lord himself. Even if the lord is not the vanguard, he is still the leader. They must fight on the front line. What about the merchant faction? Basically, you will never see them wherever arrows can reach."
"Yes, so the merchant faction will definitely lose in a real fight." Joel Gadman, the God of Justice, nodded, "As evidenced by my 'Courage' priesthood, there are many people among the nobles who conform to my teachings, and among the merchants But there are very few.”
Sui Xiong felt frustrated and couldn't help but sigh again.
The businessmen in this world are just as weak as those on Earth, but the nobles in this world are much more powerful than those on Earth.
From this point of view, it is not easy to promote social progress and take a step forward from the feudal era!
"However, I think things will change." After everyone discussed for a while, Wenner, the Lord of War who had been silent, suddenly said, "You may not believe it. I just predicted that the Gold Coin Federation will still fight a civil war."
"What?!" Sui Xiong's voice was a few beats higher. "Haven't they finished negotiating and signed an agreement? Why are they still fighting?!"
"I don't know. I can just feel that they are still fighting. Why exactly? How will they fight? What will be the final result? I don't know anything." Wenner spread his hands and said helplessly, "I am war. The God of God, not the God of Destiny. I have no idea what will happen in the future."
"So can you roughly judge who wins and who loses?" Mannis, the goddess of wealth, asked with concern.
Wenner closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said with some confusion: "It's strange... why do I feel that the merchant faction has a greater chance of winning?"
"How is it possible?!" Sui Xiong exclaimed, "Can the merchant faction win? This is absolutely impossible! It's impossible for those cowards to win!"
The gods nodded in unison. Over the years, conflicts between merchants and nobles have occurred in various countries one after another. The results were almost one-sided, and the merchants never won.
"How do I know how they won..." Wenner himself was very confused. "I don't think they can win either."
"Then why do you still judge that they have a better chance of winning?"
"I think it's based on my rationality; but based on the power of my priesthood, the result is that they have a greater chance of winning." Wenner said helplessly, "I'm wondering myself."
The gods were talking a lot, but no one could think of a way for the merchant faction to win.
After the meeting, the God of War sent many messengers to the merchant faction's territory to collect intelligence - He didn't care whether the merchant faction could win, but he was curious about how the merchant faction would win.
Sui Xiong returned to Rye Fortress and continued to work on his "live version of Minecraft". At the same time, he also separated into several clones and moved around the merchant faction's territory to learn about the situation.
Although he is not the God of War, he also wants to know what the merchant faction relies on to win this war in which even the gods are not optimistic about them
