Chapter 427 This Is the Pirate

Sarge's words caused Kerla and Robin to fall into a brief silence.

They didn't know what Sag did in his own territory. They could only say that each big pirate had a different style of doing things.

Those who like killing, destruction, pleasure, profit, or simply liking meat are all pirates.

But we need to kill all the businessmen in the territory.

That's a businessman!

Even in the revolutionary army, business plays a large part in obtaining funds.

Moreover, Sag is still a pirate, so it would be difficult for him to attract serious businessmen.

"Well, I'll take the liberty to ask."

After waiting for the demons to drag away the ashen-faced Andre, Robin raised his hand and asked: "Sarge, how many businessmen do you want to kill?"

"Who knows."

Sage sat back on the chair and waved, and B'Elana cut a cigar and handed it over.

Click.

The lighter made a crisp start-up sound, and after lighting the cigar, Sager blew out the smoke and said, "I usually don't remember this, but there should be quite a few."

"There are a total of 138 registered businessmen in the country, ranging from factory owners to itinerant merchants selling bulk commodities."

Lily replied: "As for those small traders and some small shopkeepers, they are not included in this."

Although economic intervention is ordered, it is essentially laissez-faire. People are free to do whatever they want. As long as it is below a certain level, they don't care. They just have to pay taxes on everything they do.

After all, it is difficult to count the people, but the small businessmen who hire the people are there, and when they pay their salaries, they have already paid the taxes in advance.

These more than one hundred, combined together, control almost 70% of O'Hara's major businesses and industries.

The remaining 30% is Sager's core, which no one can touch.

It seems exaggerated, but it also depends on the population.

With a population of more than 2 million, there are more than 100 people engaged in bulk commodities and industries, which is not too many.

Moreover, Sager is also very tolerant towards businessmen. It is clear that as long as they pay taxes obediently and do not withhold tax, it is their ability to grow bigger, and he will never care about it.

"One, more than a hundred merchants, that's a lot!"

Kerla stammered: "Hey, Natural Disaster, if you do this, will anyone really come to your door in the future? And what if they run away?"

These are not small traders. According to him, they are all guys who are good at business. There are only a dozen or so of this kind of existence in the revolutionary army. They provide them with resources and activity funds, and they are all treasure-like existences.

Is Sage going to kill them all now?

“If you can run away from a monk, can you run away from a church?”

Sage sneered: "The things are here, what's the use of people running away? Even if they get the news, what can they take away? The industry can't be taken away, how many ships can the materials be taken away? There are really lucky people who can take away What's the point of using Bailey's paper?"

The meat is in the pot. No matter how well it is simmered, the legs will not fly out of the pot. It's just a matter of words to eat it how you want.

As for the loss of money, if it really comes to that, Sager will have a follow-up plan to make up for it.

Do you think his rainbow gem is fake?

Under the operation of Dover and Lao Sha, that thing is not worth the equivalent of 10 million Baileys that Sag wanted, but now there are still 3 million Baileys.

As a luxury product, the price of this thing is not low. After all, on the sea, a famous brand shirt only costs 10,000 beli, and a coat only costs 30,000 to 40,000. A well-made luxury brand only costs 10,000. Tens of thousands of Baileys.

Taking the East China Sea as an analogy, the Barati restaurant is so famous, but a meal only costs 13,400 beli, which can cost almost half to one-third of an ordinary person's monthly salary.

That's why Sage is really not afraid of the businessmen running away, let alone taking away the money and leaving the territory without money.

He doesn't have to worry about selling his things.

"Um"

Sage touched his chin, thought for a while, and said: "The industry represented by that guy Piecro is really not allowed to be released. Let's stick to the six major industries. If you don't accept the murder business, you can switch to debt collection and person pursuit."

I originally thought that the funeral industry this guy represented would have no effect on him, but now that I think about it, that’s really not necessarily the case.

Not to mention whether these businessmen can run away, but when the gold bank opens and lends loan money, Sager and his men cannot be allowed to do it when collecting debts. Occasionally making a cameo is okay, but it will definitely not work for a long time.

We still have to replace this industry and create a professional debt collector.

But don’t be anxious. The six major industries are interconnected, and everyone may have a part-time job. The main thing now is to develop the basic base first, and then think about these things.

"Sarge, what about the intensity?" Lily asked.

"You figure it out yourself." Sage waved his hand.

"Then let's deal with it with the same intensity as the purge of the nobles. After all, betrayal is also a serious crime. The main culprit will be skinned by the demon clan and punished by the blood eagle."

Lily's understatement caused a chill in the banquet hall, making the serving maids and the chefs standing behind all shiver.

They are all local residents. Although there are some foreigners, there are not many.

The bloody storm that was caused here only lasted for more than a year, but everyone's memories are very deep.

At that time, the roads in Storm City felt sticky when walking on them!

Is it going to happen again now?

Lily's words also shocked Robin and Kerra, each of them showing solemn expressions.

Previously, they just felt that killing like this was not good, but as soon as Lily's words came out, they felt the smell of blood rushing straight to their foreheads.

As one of the Four Emperors, many of Sage's deeds are well known to the world.

They have heard rumors that after conquering the kingdom, in order to ensure his rule, he slaughtered all the nobles.

The Revolutionary Army at that time also sent people to stay in the surrounding area, trying to save some of the people who were left behind.

After all, Sage's reputation at that time was very bad.

If it weren't for the fact that people in the entire territory lived a stable life and rumors of affluent life spread to their Revolutionary Army, Drago probably wouldn't have cooperated with Sage.

They also discussed internally and thought that it might just be a rumor. After all, as a pirate, his reputation has always been bad.

Pirates must have killed people, but they wouldn't slaughter the whole family without leaving a single person.

But now I hear it.

It seems that the rumor is true?

"You, what are you going to do?" Kerla couldn't help asking, "Are you going to kill them all? Those people are innocent, they..."

"Kerla."

Robin stood up and reminded, "Since the deal has been settled, let's go back."

As she said that, she pulled Kerla up without saying anything and said, "Then, we'll take our leave first."

"Would you like to sit for a while? After all, we are relatives. Stay for two more days and I'll treat you well." Sage smiled.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, Sage."

Robin looked at him with a complicated expression, wanting to say something, but hesitated. She just smiled at him and then pulled Kerla away.

When the two of them were out of sight, Renidia sneered:

"You are quite sensible. The Revolutionary Army wants to teach us? Have they killed Celestial Dragons?"

Sage blew out smoke and sneered.

Relatives?

Which one of you is not closer than her?

Since she rejected her invitation in Alabasta, everyone is no longer the same kind of people.

He recognized relatives, but no others.

"Robin, this natural disaster is too much. Even if it is a betrayal, it is enough to punish the person involved, but according to their intention, they want to kill the whole family! Is this a pirate?"

It was not until she left the palace that Kerla said what she had been holding back.

She was not stupid, she knew there were some things she couldn't say, and it was just a subconscious reaction just now.

"Yes."

Robin nodded gently, "This is a pirate."
