"Husband, you are wise and powerful today. You took most of the members of the merchant Council at one stroke and took back the power of the Queen's city, but..." at the moment, the royal blue queen of the Queen's city looked at Durand and said tenderly, "but after this change, what if the merchants in the city are dissatisfied, or even frightened, and then damage the business of the Queen's city?"
The Queen's concerns are justified.
The maritime multinational alliance is different from the Dragon Empire and the kingdom of Arthur.
If it's in the Dragon empire or Arthur Kingdom, merchants are just fat pigs raised by nobles. It's not important to kill them when they get fat. In the eyes of the nobles, businessmen are just fat sheep to enrich their money bags. It's good to have such fat sheep, which has nothing to do with the life of the nobles.
Both the Dragon Empire and Arthur kingdom are not afraid of merchants' dissatisfaction. It's normal for merchants to be killed for their treason, even if they directly rob the merchants' property. The nobles of that place will solemnly say: the merchants who hoard goods, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, and do not engage in production should be punished.
The common people had nothing to say. They were brought to the rhythm by the nobleman. Because they always suffered losses in their dealings with the merchants, they also hated the merchants. In any case, hatred of merchants will not lose a piece of meat. Hatred of aristocrats will lose their heads.
In this environment, the status of businessmen will not be very high.
But the maritime multinational alliance is different.
This is the city of trade, and the one that supports the major cities is trade. Businessmen who do well in business may even take part in the election and be elected Prince of trade.
The business atmosphere here is very active. People worship money. Everything in society is controlled by money. Businessmen participate in politics and even have armed forces. They are very powerful. For example, in the former Queen's city, the chamber of Commerce controlled everything in Queen's city, and the royal blue queen was just a puppet, an empty shell.
Today, Durand has dealt with the merchants in the chamber of Commerce who are against the Queen's overhead, helping the royal blue queen get back the power. Queen Baolan is not only happy, but also worried about whether she will let the big businessmen from other places and the small and medium-sized businessmen in the Queen's city feel dissatisfied with her and not do business with herself.
Queen's city is also a city heavily dependent on trade. Once the royal blue queen takes office, the trade volume of Queen's city will decline. The residents of Queen's city will be dissatisfied with the royal blue queen and her rule will be threatened. Among these coastal trading cities, not only is the king of one city overthrown by angry people because he is not good at promoting trade growth.
The trend in coastal areas is very mercenary. As long as you can bring everyone to earn money, you are the leader of everyone. If you can't bring everyone to earn money, even if your blood can be traced back to the time when people and gods lived together 300000 years ago, you still have to roll the calf.
"The essence of power is the right to distribute interests. The essence of seizing power is to take the knife and fork of distributing interests from the chamber of Commerce back to us. Our violent activities will make small businessmen panic, big businessmen dissatisfied, and even a considerable number of people refuse to do business with us. " Durand's eyes flashed like a meteor, and the light of wisdom made his whole person shine, "but so what? As long as my hand is a pair of hands that can create interests, in the face of enough interests, those mercenary guys, even the hatred of killing their father and taking their wife, can put it down, not to mention other things. "
The royal blue queen looked at Durand admiringly and said, "my dear, your hands are a pair of hands that turn stone into gold. You can always create the greatest miracle with the most humble things. What amazing benefits have you created? "
Durand said with a slight smile, "that's more amazing than all my past creations. Honey, I'll give you the first one." Durand said, clapping his hands and telling the servant, "bring that thing up."
Then two strong castrated bareheaded slaves carried a huge object into the room. The two eunuchs were careful not to bump.
The royal blue queen saw that it was wrapped in red cloth. It was about the same height as a person, but its width was very small. It was like a door or a screen. The queen of royal blue guessed that it was a valuable screen?
"What is this?" Royal blue.
"This is the value, just like the benefit of Jinshan. This is also my surprise to you." Durand said with a smile, "honey, open it. I'm sure you'll like it."
The queen of royal blue was curious. She opened the red cloth and was startled, because she saw another herself: a blue Lisa dress, a Diamond Star crown on her head, a huge sapphire necklace, full of jewels. Delicate skin like suede, light yellow skirt, fluffy hair, tall body, bright eyes, gentle and amiable.
Then the royal blue queen reflected that it was not herself, but a mirror of the same height as others. The mirror was much clearer than the crystal mirror, silver mirror and brass mirror. The royal blue queen felt as if she had been alive in the mirror world.
With such a clear and luxurious mirror, the queen of royal blue can imagine how the mirror will be respected by those noble ladies once it is launched. It's easy to sell it out of stock.
"How's it going? Do you like it? " Durand said triumphantly, "this is the glass mirror that I invented on the basis of glass. The cost is incredible, but it can sell at a sky high price. With this thing, we have enough chips to impress those businessmen. In the face of such interests, they will only cooperate with us eagerly and will not care about the life and death of those merchants in the Nvwang city! "
"Honey, you are so powerful, you can always bring me great surprise. With this glass mirror, we may become the most successful trading city, and you can even be elected the trading Prince of many cities. "
"Of course, I don't know who I am. The man who conquered the royal blue queen, I have a good baby to show you. You will like it more."
"Dear, you are good or bad..."
"Men are not bad, women don't love..."
Just as the scene is about to move towards the indescribable adult literature, a golden light suddenly lights up in this room. In the golden light, there are four figures: white, black, green and gray.
"What the hell is this, sleeper?" Durand was stiff, almost weak with fright, and quickly picked up his pants.
The royal blue queen also quickly straightened her clothes and said with a serious face, "this is the coming of God. Four noble gods have come."
Durand was stunned and blurted out: "I'll go. Is there a God in this world?"
