Chapter 3317 Agreement

The next week was a mixed bag of good and bad.

The good thing is that Celia has really begun to awaken the power of her bloodline. The bad thing is that this awakening is a primary awakening, but the awakened power is similar to that of the high priest. They are both predictions of the future, and the ability to predict the future is mastered. My level is not high and I can only predict a small number of things in a short period of time, and this ability to predict is also ineffective for me.

Beyond that, there's a good thing and a bad thing.

Fortunately, during this period, another human trafficker organization was discovered by Yang Jiu and others and captured in time. The kidnapped goblin and elf children were rescued, and the entire human trafficker organization was uprooted.

The bad thing is that this human trafficker organization has connections with a large number of nobles in Ai Rui City and York City. It belongs to a transnational criminal group and is as big as a top criminal group. If Yang Jie and Liu Yu hadn't informed the Rose Army and me of the information in time, , and then the Rose Legion dispatched elite troops, and with the cooperation of Achilles, it was impossible to defeat them all without losing anyone.

The human trafficker organization connecting the two major national aristocratic groups was suddenly terminated. This is undoubtedly something that angers the beneficiaries.

In order to vent their anger, the noble group seems to be planning to launch an attack on Moonlight City.

However, due to the geographical location and their own influence, they have no plans to send troops to Moonlight City yet.

But just because you don’t have a plan, doesn’t mean you don’t have a plan.

According to the letters from the informants I arranged in Airey City and York City, the aristocratic group has begun to attack the business in Moonlight City.

Although this kind of impact method may not be very effective, after all, there are no Moonlight City merchants in Airui City today, and only a small number of merchants in York Han City will go there to do business.

But even a small number of merchants are still merchants.

Even the smallest business done by these transnational merchants is not comparable to any transaction of ordinary resident merchants.

After all, the journey is long and the losses are high. If a business trip cannot make more money, in their view, it is a loss.

Therefore, every cross-border business transaction is huge.

Once the business of these people is made difficult, blackmailed, or even seized by local nobles, it will be tantamount to disaster for the merchants.

This may have an impact on the subsequent economic environment, but the aristocratic group does not care about this small amount of money. For them, what is really important is not money, but face.

Because they have power and money, they are even more eager for fame and prestige.

Regarding this point, the entire Huanggui Group in Hefeng Continent cannot escape this circle.

In order to reduce losses as much as possible, the Fairy Queen and the Elf Queen issued an announcement overnight, reminding merchants who have recently done business with Airei City and York Han City to temporarily suspend all business dealings and stay in the country until the storm has passed. Restart business dealings.

However, businessmen value profits and are not afraid of risks.

In particular, this kind of businessmen who do big business are completely unafraid of possible dangers for the sake of huge profits.

In the balance between the two Queens' joint warning and the huge interests, they naturally tilted towards the interests.

As an elder of a foreign clan, after learning all this, I also called all the heads of the Hongshang family still in the country and held a meeting.

At the meeting, I deliberately reiterated the warnings of Her Majesty the Two Queens and explained the current situation to them.

But this group of family heads didn't care, and even some of the older ones among them even lectured me. The content of the lecture was nothing more than that if you want benefits, you must pay first and so on.

It made me so impatient.

Although I am an adventurer and rarely do business, I still understand the principle of finding wealth through risk.

And in order to get a lot of money, I even risked my life to attack more powerful monsters again and again. When I was full of energy, I would challenge lower-level monsters.

I am not disgusted by their persuasion, but I am disgusted by the attitude of these family heads.

Before anything happened, everyone felt that they were doing the right thing. After something happened, everyone went to their family's asylum to cry and complain, and then passed it on to everyone, until the matter was brought to their majesties, the two queens.

Right now, the two queens are dealing with national affairs and preparing for the national war at the same time. They have no time to be distracted. These guys are still ignoring advice for the sake of profit and always thinking of causing trouble. How can I not be angry?

Having said that, I can only find someone to write a relevant agreement, stating that before the announcement of Her Majesty the Two Queens is withdrawn, any vicious events that occur in Ai Rui City and York Han City will be the responsibility of the parties involved themselves.

As soon as this contract came out, all the family owners were unhappy.

While they were shouting that the reason for taking risks was to boost the country's economic income, they refused to sign the agreement in solidarity.

In order to make them compromise, I had to act like a foreign elder and said to them calmly: "Your Majesty has issued relevant announcements, but you don't listen. If something goes wrong, who can you blame? Do you want His Majesty to continue wiping your butts?" ?"

"Isn't it your duty to protect your subjects?" One of the family heads frowned and said, "We are legal citizens who have paid taxes!"

"You are right," I said, "The premise of worry is that as long as it does not violate His Majesty's will, if you suffer any loss or injustice, Your Majesty will send someone to help you solve the problem. In good conscience, has Your Majesty done this? "

"I did it." Although the head of the family looked unhappy, he did not deny it. Then he said, "But we do business in York and Han City. On the one hand, we are doing business in York and Han City to strengthen the family's interests. On the other hand, aren't we also paying taxes for the national treasury?"

"Do you really think His Majesty doesn't care about these taxes?" I asked back: "Do you really think His Majesty doesn't care about you merchant families?"

"You take it too much for granted, or maybe you all know it, but you just don't want to admit it." I said calmly, "If His Majesty really doesn't care about you, how could he issue an announcement telling all the people of Moonlight City not to go there for the time being? Businessmen in York and Seoul, do your calculations. Once business is suspended, how much less tax will be collected? But Your Majesty has to do this, because in His Majesty's view, your life safety is far more important than taxes. After all, you are all Your Majesty’s people, and they are all good people.”

The crowd fell into a brief and low-pitched bustle again. After a while, a family head stood up and said: "I am willing to obey your majesty's edict and accept the elder's proposal."

After that, he walked up to me and signed his name on the agreement.
