Fun people from Blue Star

This sounds reasonable, but in fact it makes no sense.

Wartime material circulation?

If there are a few malicious merchants, they will find a way to take away the supplies in your territory in a matter of minutes.

Hardy looked at the other person and smiled: "Are you trying to harm me?"

Vega's expression was slightly startled and he said, "That's absolutely not what I meant."

Hardy looked at the other party for a while and said, "But your idea of ​​asking me to open up business and promote the circulation of materials is really harming me."

"Actually, it would be better to say that it is your Excellency who is harming us." Vega looked into Hardy's eyes and said in a very relaxed tone: "During the period when you blocked commercial activities in the territory, you caused us a lot of losses. "

This is very interesting to say.

At least Hardy found it interesting.

He raised his eyelids, looked at the other person, and said in a subtle tone: "So are you blaming me?"

"That's not what I meant." Vega's voice contained a faint smile: "We are just telling Mr. Hardy a fact."

When Hardy heard this, he finally couldn't help laughing: "So, what do you want me to do?"

"We have no other intention. We just hope that you can liberalize commercial activities, support the circulation of materials, and return to the way it was in the past." Vega gently tapped the table with his right hand, making a moderate sound, which seemed to be provoking and also Seems like simple habit: "In return, we pay a lot of taxes. More taxes than before."

"How much?"

"Forty percent."

The business tax that Hardy had previously set was less than 20%, and he was already considered a very conscientious lord.

From the perspective of other lords, Hardy is almost doing charity.

Hardy asked again: "What if I don't agree?"

"Our business alliance will withdraw from Ruisian's market, and even include all the territories under your command. We will avoid it forever."

"And you said you weren't threatening me?"

"No, you misunderstood me, Lord Hardy." Vega tried his best to say in a calm tone: "We are just stating a basic fact. The taxes paid by our business alliance should account for 100% of your entire territory. About fifty, if we leave, your benefits will be greatly reduced. "

Hardy asked calmly: "Then what?"

"We will go elsewhere to develop."

"Then it's up to you." Hardy stood up: "Sophie, see you off."

Vega looked at Hardy with some surprise: "I heard that Mr. Hardy is a very calm and sensible man, but I didn't expect that you are so impulsive. You don't have to put aside a lot of money to suppress us. Poor businessman?"

"Businessmen are pitiful?" Hardy looked at them: "We have already formed an alliance, are you still pitiful? If you don't leave, I will take action."

Vega took a deep breath, stood up, and left reluctantly.

After Sophie sent the person outside, she turned back and then came to the study to find Hadi.

"Are we really going to drive these people away?" Sophie asked doubtfully: "They have indeed paid close to 50% of the tax. If they really leave, our losses will be even greater."

Hardy smiled: "Actually, it is still relatively small now. Two years ago, they accounted for more than 90% of the tax paid."

"These people are very capable and can indeed bring us enough benefits. It is really a pity that they are gone. Do you want to appease them?"

Hardy shook his head: "Businessmen are a group that are good at making money. They have various ways to make money. They can do normal business transactions, and they can also do abnormal ones. Making money from war and making money from dead people is just an instinct for them. , if I let go now, my territory will not be able to prepare for war in the future. Even though I have promulgated wartime security regulations, they can still make money, just less. Now they come to force the palace, and they will do it in the future. I don’t dare to think about what to do.”

"Do you want us to strike first..." Sophie asked.

Hearing what Hardy said, she almost wanted to end this business alliance.

"It's useless, immortal people are not afraid of this." Hardy laughed: "Besides, does he really think that the so-called business alliance is monolithic? Let Tiana come over, now it's time to let the professionals come on board."

On the other side, Vega returned to the Business Alliance hall angrily.

He sat down angrily on the observation deck on the second floor. There were more than a dozen people around him, sitting sporadically, chatting and looking at the scenery of the street outside.

Someone saw Vega's appearance and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, you probably didn't succeed."

When other people around heard this, they laughed.

Someone shouted: "I have said it before, Hardy is also a noble. No matter how enlightened he is, he will not agree with your approach. Now these NPCs are frightened by the monsters in the east and are hoarding all kinds of supplies, like It’s so ridiculous that they are like hamsters spending the winter. They have no idea how strong our players are, and those so-called bats can’t survive, and they still have wartime regulations. It’s really funny.”

These words made a group of people laugh,

Vega touched his forehead with a headache: "Not to mention things in the east, Hardy now controls the output in his territory and also prohibits the entry of a large number of foreign caravans. My chamber of commerce has not taken any money for more than ten days. When it comes to white paper, there are also dried fruits and silk from the elves. The goods we can get are less than one-third of the original ones. How much money will be lost. "

"Me too, Hardy is cutting off our financial resources."

"Rebellion and change his lord."

"He has the ability to ban people. Who dares to mess around in front of him?"

One player said angrily: "Those combat-type players are all useless. When the server was first launched, they dared to challenge Hardy. Now that they have become so powerful, they don't dare to trouble Hardy anymore."

"Then what should we do now?" A player said helplessly: "It's just a waste of time. I think this wartime security order will last for a long time. It's all money. Although it's not a loss, it's not a loss. Even if we make a profit, we will lose money. We will lose money for several years.”

Vega snorted: "Actually, I think someone's suggestion just now was very good, but it went against Hardy."

"How to resist!" Someone said with a smile: "He is a high-level professional and a plot character on the BOSS panel, and there are a lot of strong people around him. It will be very difficult to kill him. In case of failure , we all have to be banned.”

"In fact, it's not difficult. We can pick ourselves out." Vega said with a smile: "For example, everyone pools a sum of money to hire gold players. As long as the money is enough, those people are very dedicated."

"Hardy will definitely suspect us."

"He has no evidence, do you understand?" Vega laughed: "As I said again, as long as the money is enough, those gold players will not only work hard, but also keep secrets. NPCs like Hardy, who are in the order system, do things He is very particular about evidence. Without evidence, he will not act recklessly." (End of Chapter)
