"Will the Miledas family still refuse to let our people enter the Daoslago Hotel to capture those nobles from the Northland?" The silver knife and fork was cutting a fat steak in front of him while asking a tall, thin middle-aged man standing beside him.
"Yes, Mr. Speaker." The middle-aged man replied with a slight bow: "The Marquis of Miledas said that those who stay in their family hotel are their distinguished guests, and whoever wants to embarrass their distinguished guests in their family hotel is Against them, it doesn't matter if you fight a family war for this reason, the Miledas family will definitely fight to the end. And they also sent Master Mike to the Doslager Hotel to sit in the town, and there are 300 families who went with them Guard."
The fat man with his big ears enjoying a steak is the Marquis Beki Shanluo, the speaker of the Alliance Council, and the president of the Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce, which is currently the eighth-ranked chamber of commerce in the business alliance.
The Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce has long dominated the ale production and sales industry within the sphere of influence of the business alliance. After the Glass War, the price of grain soared and the price of ale also increased by three or four times. The Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce not only made a fortune, but also took the opportunity to use The stale coarse grains and wheat stored for brewing entered the Grain Market of Morente City, which the chamber of commerce had always coveted, and took a considerable share.
As the personal entourage of the chairman of Beji Shanluo, the tall and thin middle-aged man next to him is very clear about the thoughts of the chairman. Due to the impact of the upsurge and the severance of business routes, find a way to compete with the Ford Chamber of Commerce in the grain market of Morente City, and at least seize half of the grain market.
You Ling poets have always praised the Faliqiu Plain where Morente City is located as a fertile land flowing with honey, but they forgot that no matter how fertile the plain is, it cannot grow enough food for two million people. The business alliance not only has Morent City with a population of one million, but also seven cities with a total population of 400,000 to 500,000 and nearly 100 villages and farms throughout the Fali Hill Plain. Most importantly, the Fali Hill Plain does not necessarily plant They are all grains, and more are all kinds of cash crops that are more valuable than grains.
The Ford Chamber of Commerce controls the Faliqiu Plain. They have the right to purchase and sell the food and cash crops grown by the farmers there. Without their permission, the farmers in Faliqiu cannot sell their output to other businessmen. Therefore, under the overall arrangement of the Ford Chamber of Commerce, all the farmland in the Faliqiu Plain is planted in accordance with the requirements of the Ford Chamber of Commerce. Of course, they are planted with more economically valuable crops and high-end grains, such as the people of Morente City. Eat the Faliqiu rice. In addition, the Ford Chamber of Commerce must purchase a large amount of various types of food from other countries every year to meet the needs of the civilians of the business alliance.
However, in addition to the Mana Hill Plain, the Commercial Alliance also has a Christo Hill. Compared with the Mana Hill Plain, the Christo Hill appears barren and barren. The farmers here can only grow coarse grains such as wheat and potatoes. The business alliance disdained to grow these worthless crops, so the Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the opportunity to purchase coarse grains from the Cristo Hills, and used them to produce and sell ale.
Perhaps the drunkards in the business alliance thought that the ale they drank was produced from the coarse grains of the Cristo Hills, but it was not. The Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce also imported grains from all over the world, but what they imported were old grains, and they put them in the granary. The wheat that is about to go moldy or has gone moldy for a few years is worthless, and sometimes a warehouse of hundreds of thousands of catties can only cost two or thirty jinfords. The Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce uses these wheat to make ale for sale.
This glass war caught the Ford Chamber of Commerce by surprise. They did not have so much food reserves, which caused the food supply of the business alliance to rise all the way. The business routes around the world were cut off, which made things worse. As a strategic material, food is strictly prohibited from trading. , the Ford Chamber of Commerce is now rich and cannot buy food, or even if it buys it, it cannot be transported to the business alliance.
The Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce is not the case. The coarse grains and moldy wheat he wants are worthless, and a big deal has just been completed before the end of the glass war. Nearly three million Pu'er coarse grains and wheat have been shipped to Morente City. Afraid of being found out that half of the transport was moldy wheat, the Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce hired a smuggling fleet to evade the inspection of the Armada in Gold Bay. With this batch of grain, plus the grain storehouse, Chairman Beki Shanluo decided to occupy the middle and low-end grain market in Morente City in this golden opportunity, and leave the high-end grain market to the Ford Business Alliance to avoid There was a strong counterattack.
Although the chairman of Beji Shanluo is ambitious, he is a smart person. He does not want to replace one of the seven giants. The fate of the rising chamber of commerce, one of the seven giants, has taught him a profound lesson. As the speaker of the Alliance Council, he has never contradicted the policy decided by the Big Seven, not to mention obeying orders, at least he followed the rules, so that the Big Seven had no reason to oust him.
However, the implementation of the Lordship System in the business alliance this time gave Chairman Beki Shanluo a good opportunity to help the Supreme Business Council. Since he cannot replace the seven giants, he can request the expansion of the Supreme Business Council. Even the Grand Duke of the Rulm Principality can become a member of the Supreme Commercial Council because of his defection to the Commercial Alliance, so why can't he? Especially my Rocky Mountain Chamber of Commerce has got a good opportunity now, why not let myself go one step further
Chairman Beki Shanluo felt that the Ford Chamber of Commerce, as the largest agricultural and planting industry chamber of commerce in the business alliance, ignored the middle and lower class civilians in Morente City. , As a result, the Ford Chamber of Commerce has been accused and criticized by countless civilians. For the Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce, which has a large amount of coarse food in its hands, this is an excellent opportunity to rise and control Morente City.
In particular, the seven giants have now left Morente City in order to integrate their own chambers of commerce, making the Alliance Council the highest authority in Morente City. It's very simple. On the one hand, use the coarse food in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce to win over the hearts of the civilians in Morente City and win great prestige for themselves. The strong dissatisfaction of the trade route, and the declaration of a tough stance to the outside world, won him widespread support and praise.
As long as these two points are done well, then at the Alliance Council next month, Chairman Beki Shanluo will instruct others to propose the establishment of an Alliance Legion. The severance of trade routes has driven these chambers of commerce to a dead end, and most of them have fallen into a desperate situation. It is better to stand up and fight.
As for the representatives of the citizens, they dare not raise objections in front of the civilians of Morente City who have been incited to have strong xenophobic sentiments. The establishment of the Alliance Legion, President Beki Shanluo's value is not whether he will really conquer the countries, but that this Legion is the first regular army directly under the control of the Alliance Council, which means that it is subject to the leadership of the Alliance Council Chairman. Legion under direct command.
With this legion in hand, coupled with his great prestige among the civilians of Morente City, even if the Big Seven came back, they would have nothing to do with themselves and the Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce. At that time, as long as he proposes to expand the Supreme Business Council, it will be a matter of course for him to become a member of the Nine Giants, and he will definitely get his wish! That's what President Beki Shanluo thinks.
But this time there was a little trouble, my ineffective little bastard dared to openly molested a few noble women from outside on Triumph Avenue, the most prosperous commercial street in Morente City, and one leg was broken, and the accompanying guards were also killed and injured many people. From a logical point of view, Chairman Beji Shanluo also knows that his little bastard is responsible for himself. He really thinks that Dad is the speaker of the Alliance Council and can cover up the sky with one hand. If such a thing gets out, the Business Alliance will lose face. Morente City will also be notorious in the aristocratic class of the mainland, and the seven giants will never let their own cubs go...
Fortunately, the seven giants are not here, and the business alliance has also cut off contact with surrounding countries. Now there are no nobles from other countries staying in Morente City, and this matter cannot be spread. And the target is only a few bumpkin nobles from the Northland, who have never seen any big world at first glance, just look at those female relatives, they rush to buy luxury goods and fashion goods stores like crazy, that posture is like nouveau riche .
Chairman Beji Shanluo has already understood the entire process of the conflict in detail, and knows that his precious son was punished because he was greedy for the beauty of the other party's female family and molested him. Many people saw it, and many shopkeepers expressed their dissatisfaction, because this incident made those rare noble customers stop their shopping trips, and made those merchants who were looking forward to their presence very angry.
It's just a few bumpkin nobles from the Iberia Kingdom in the Northland, no matter how rich they are, can they compare with their own Rocky Chamber of Commerce? As the Kingdom of Iberia is in such a cowardly state, even its own king was captured and killed in the Kingdom of Antinac. This matter was published in the Morente Daily, and everyone thought that the Second Highness of the Kingdom of Antinac sent someone to arrest the second prince and bury him with his father, the third prince. So even if President Beki Shanluo moved those nobles, what can the Kingdom of Iberia do to him
Chairman Beji Shanluo thought this contemptuously. He had made proper arrangements for this matter. First, he ordered people to pay for the merchants on Kaixuan Avenue, that is, to bribe them to shut up. Then he ordered people to confuse black and white with the propaganda that these nobles from the north were bullying the merchants in Morente City, and his son stood up to stop their atrocities, but was seriously injured and even broke a leg. , There were also many casualties among the guards.
Anyway, this matter is not hidden from the public, as long as the civilians are incited to xenophobia and hatred of the rich. For many years, the civilians in Morente City have had a sense of superiority and look down on foreigners who make a living. Especially after the end of the War of Glass the year before last and the annexation of most of the former Ridleys Kingdom last year, the business alliance has become a After being the largest country in the Galintia continent, the people of Morente have an inexplicable sense of pride in thinking that they are the most powerful country in the world.
Especially after the two wars, the hundreds of territorial nobles who were conferred by the business alliance after these two wars made the people of Morente feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood. They are very angry at the countries that have cut off commercial routes all over the place, and push all kinds of misfortunes they have encountered, such as high food prices, loss of jobs and lack of household, etc., to these countries. The greatest reason for the assent and support of the declarations of the Confederate Legion against those all over the nations.
Chairman Beji Shanluo decided to take those few northern aristocrats who didn't have long eyes. Only by ruthlessly teaching those northern nobles to let them see the cruelty of their revenge methods can more people shut up. There is an old saying that if you repeat a lie a thousand times, it may become a reality. Similarly, if you don't silence these northern nobles, how can you make the lie of your precious son's bravery become a reality
He cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while before swallowing it, with a peaceful expression on his fat face, Chairman Beki Shanluo gently put down the knife and fork, picked up a white napkin and wiped his mouth: " The Miledas family has always controlled the hotel industry of the commercial alliance. Although their family chamber of commerce is small, it is considered a leader among the second-tier chambers of commerce. It has a deep foundation and has maintained good relations with many powerful factions in the alliance. To save face, we just need to surround those northern nobles and prevent them from escaping, and don't offend the boundaries of the Doslager Hotel."
"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man asked humbly: "However, we have given the Miledas family face, and it is hard to say whether they appreciate it, and will others think that we are afraid of Miledas? Family? After all, compared with our Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce, the strength of the Miledas family is far inferior... "
President Begie Shanluo threw the napkin on the table, and grinned grinningly: "We're showing face to the Miledas family, and not going into the Dawslag Hotel to arrest people, but it doesn't mean we won't give them a blow. Millais Didn't the Das family send their great swordsman Mike over there? It's just a first-level swordsman. We let Don Homer go there, two-to-one pair, and continue to keep the pressure on them. Another five hundred Famous merchants will guard the past, see who has the most, hehe... "
Luoshanji Chamber of Commerce is more powerful than other second-rate chambers of commerce because of its armed forces. They enshrine three great sword masters, one second-level great sword master and two first-level great sword masters. Since the great sword masters of his own chamber of commerce were not allowed to participate in the battle of glass, the great sword masters of the chamber of commerce were not damaged. Now, compared with the last few chambers of commerce who sacrificed a lot in the ranking of the seven giants, the armed forces of the Luoshanji chamber of commerce are almost the same as them , This is also one of the reliance of Chairman Beki Shanluo to expand the seat of the Supreme Business Council.
"Also, send more people to incite the civilians to besiege the Doslager Hotel. People who go there can get five catties of coarse grain from the grain store of our Chamber of Commerce. I want to see how the Doslager Hotel is trapped by the civilians. How long can the Miledas family persist in the siege? As long as the carriage of their hotel is out of the hotel boundary, the commoners will be inspected, and they are said to prevent the foreign nobles from escaping. If the carriage of the hotel does not allow inspection, then don’t let them go. Let's go, I really want to know if the Miledas family will have the guts to attack those civilians... "
"Master President, this is really a wonderful strategy." The middle-aged man said jokingly: "I bet the Miledas family would not dare to do anything to these civilians."
"Hahaha, I think so too. If they dare to do something, they will be the civilians of Morente City..." President Beki Shanluo also laughed loudly: "Then, let's see next, is it the Midales family? Unable to resist the pressure of the civilian siege, they took the initiative to invite those Northland nobles out, or those Northland nobles were finally kicked out of the Daosleig Hotel because they spent all their gold coins on accommodation. We are not in a hurry, we have time and These bumpkins from the North are just playing around..."
"Master President, I believe that after this incident, your reputation in Morente City must be like this..." The middle-aged man stretched out his thumb: "I will immediately go to do what you have told me, my lord, please Wait for the good news with peace of mind."
