Chapter 426: The Great Purge!

As the first guide and businessman, Andre performed as well as he did then, and he performed as badly as he did now.

He set up many related industries in Vulcanogris, an island rich in volcanic ash fertilizer and ore, hired local people to work and paid them wages.

After the products were sent to O'Hara, they were purchased by people in the relevant industrial chain, thus completing the economic cycle.

Even on the main island, Andre also set up some mining industries.

The 500,000 people that Sager got from the West Sea were also given priority to him.

He was never stingy with his subordinates who made contributions.

But businessmen are like this by nature. Individuals have exceptions, but groups definitely don't. They will definitely find ways to make more money.

Andre went from being well-behaved at first to wanting to do everything for money now.

At first, he just resold materials to foreign merchants at a lower price, and increased his income by doing accounting and reporting losses, so that he didn't have to pay taxes.

At that time, they were quite scared, afraid of being discovered by the master, but later, as Sager and others became busier and busier, conquered more and more territories, and had more and more supplies, they received less attention.

Gradually, Andre became more and more bold, and simply reporting losses and doing accounting could no longer satisfy him. He began to drive up the prices of materials entering the island, and told the people that this was the master's order, asking them to buy at a price more than 20% higher than the market price, up to 50%.

This part of the extra money became his income. In addition, he began to find excuses to cut people's salaries, not directly, but to impose fines, and in the name of Sager.

Out of respect for Sager, even if someone privately criticized it, it would not be a big deal on the surface.

After all, no matter what, they can still eat their fill and maintain their lives, but it is a little harder than usual. Everyone is saving money and can't afford many things.

It is also because of this that they discovered it.

Sager did not pay enough attention to the island. In fact, he had lost track of how many territories and how many people there were. Lily was in charge of all of them.

And Lily could not pay attention to every island all the time. The sign of this matter was precisely because Lily found that the consumption and taxation were not right.

They did not come to replenish supplies according to quotas, but there would be merchants and pirates coming with merchant ships to do business. Those merchants had been bribed by Andre, but the pirates would not.

It was Barnaby who was stationed on the island who felt something was wrong and called Hawkins. Hawkins reported to Lily who was still returning from Zou at the time.

And Lily found that the consumption power of Vulcanogris was too reduced, resulting in a decrease in tax revenue, and then she checked.

Well!

A bunch of termites!

The next step was simple. The demons took action themselves. The bribed merchants were skinned and executed in front of the people in Vulcanogris. As for Andre, he would be left to be dealt with after Sager returned.

"Andre, Andre"

Sage walked up to him, looked down at him, and sighed: "How much money is enough? Are you not satisfied with the life here? Why do you want to resist me?"

"Master, I didn't betray you! You can't listen to Lily's one-sided words. I am making money for you. I just want to give you a surprise, yes, a surprise!"

Andre began to panic, "Besides, Master, you have no evidence. How can you convict me without evidence?"

As soon as these words came out, Lily sneered even more, Marika also covered her mouth and chuckled, and Renitia laughed even more.

"What are you kidding me. Andre, have you forgotten who I am?"

Sage left him and bared his teeth and said, "I am a pirate, a pirate. What evidence do I need? As long as there is a clue, I can execute anyone, Andre."

"You can't do that!"

Andre suddenly broke out, threw his arms and rushed over, but as soon as he moved, he was held by the demons.

"You can't do that! Norton Sage! Do you know how much I paid?!"

With red eyes, he yelled at Sage: "You don't understand anything at all! It's not you who made contributions in this territory! It's us businessmen! We are the ones who spent a lot of money and energy and worked hard!!"

"What's wrong with making some money! Those guys just need to eat enough, they live well! Why do you pay them so much! We should get more!"

"What do you mean everyone has to pay! Why don't you use slaves? Those guys from the West Sea , they will work obediently if you give them a bite to eat, why should we give them money! "

"Just follow our ideas, you are a good pirate, we will do our best to make you the Pirate King, and regard your family as the eternal ruler! Can't you just enjoy yourself! Why do you care about the lives of those lowly people!"

"People on the sea are all the same! Even if you find out this time, some of us will have other ideas. You can kill us all, don't you do business? ! Sag! You are blocking our way! ! "

The fierce roar made the banquet hall quiet for a moment.

Lily raised her eyebrows, clenched the hilt of the sword and was about to attack, but at this moment, a hand grabbed her wrist.

"Interesting."

Sag stood next to Lily and laughed: "The new sprout of capitalism? Will I be sent to the guillotine in the future?"

He walked over, squatted in front of Andre, and just looked at him quietly.

The pair of black pupils gave Andre a lot of pressure under the gaze, and he lowered his head subconsciously.

"There is one thing you don't understand."

Sage laughed softly: "If it is a normal world, the interaction between people may be able to do what you said. Because the torrent trend cannot be stopped by human power, but..."

He smiled extremely maliciously: "This place can be stopped by human power. Can't I kill them all? No, I can kill them all!"

He stood up and opened one hand, "The essence of doing business is nothing more than demand and buying low and selling high. As long as you are a person, you know how to do it. You don't let me have a good life? Then no one will have a good life!"

"I am now"

Sage bared his white teeth at him, showing a grim smile that frightened Andre, and clenched his five fingers at the same time.

"Kill him for you to see!"

"Lars, take him down, don't kill him yet, keep him till the end. Lily, from now on, mobilize my men, all the pirates stationed on the island, all start to check, let the men tell the merchants the reason, be strict, if you take one more Bailey, you will be hanged!"

"For those who violate the rules, all their property will be confiscated and redistributed! It just so happens that my disabled men are not treated enough for just being stationed, so just redistribute them!"

It's nothing more than one class replacing another.

Killing a group, it couldn't be simpler.
