My name is Ren

Chapter 17

I made a mistake in the last chapter, my fault.It's my fault for missing a zero, but please believe that the economic system in this book will never collapse.Gold coins are more often a symbol of wealth, and the symbolic meaning exceeds its value. 10,000+ gold coins, that is, a purchasing power of about 60 billion RMB. In addition to the land price, aristocratic decoration, antiques, collections, history and inheritance also account for a large proportion.A golden noble manor with a million gold coins is definitely not too much.

=====================
What is the first thing a gamer does after clearing the level quickly in the easiest way on the highest difficulty?
Most people will choose to publish an experience, or simply upload the video.There is nothing wrong with showing off like this, it's just a very common way of self-gratification.

"Businessmen's goal is actually the same as that of most people, and that is to make money." Facing the only three subordinates, Rossi, Blair, Alma, and Richard lightly said that they wanted to break their heads. The unexpected secret was announced, "There are many ways to make money, but in general they can be divided into two categories. The first category is war wealth. Manipulating wars, selling weapons, food, and slaves. The dividends brought by each war , far exceeding their normal business operations. These people are outstanding lunatics, they can also be called geniuses, not every rich person can start a war and make a fortune."

"The second type is peace money. It is an ordinary, long-term business. It does not seek one-time food support, but long-term food. They hope that the world can be peaceful more than the first type of businessmen who made war fortunes. Peace means No risk means that labor costs can be reduced and more income can be increased. For example, those guys sitting in the meeting hall of the chamber of commerce not far away, they make their fortunes with peace money."

"Every time the caravan moves, it will bring them good income. Once the war breaks out, militarized martial law and swarms of bandits will cut off their financial resources. So when they find that there is a controllable danger that is expanding , they will take action to snuff out this sign!"

Ren pointed his index finger on the table and made an aggressive voice, "They united together, joined the game as strong players, and rewrote the rules." He laughed as he said, "But here, in Austria Ultrenburg, I have the final say!"

……

"No matter what, Ortrenburg must not be chaotic!" The president of the Bell Provincial Chamber of Commerce rushed to Ortrenburg the day before yesterday. What happened here shows that everything is getting worse, especially the conflicts. Underground forces, the "dark order" here is rapidly collapsing.He stood on the throne, raised his hands high, and let out a high-pitched roar, "Anyone, anyone! They are not allowed to destroy our business, not even those nobles!"

He was explaining to some merchants the reason why the chamber of commerce suddenly intervened in the local forces this time. The chamber of commerce was a very neutral organization, and the existence of the chamber of commerce was also for a certain degree of commercial monopoly in addition to exchanging needs.Most merchants don't like meddling in local affairs, it can get them into big trouble.This time, the chairman's sudden intervention has made some businessmen a little unhappy.Neither Harvey nor the city's mercenary group were easy to mess with.

Now it seems that they are indeed suppressed, but as long as they are given a chance, they can gather hundreds of people and kill corpses all over the field, so that the caravan dare not go out alone.

"Brain is a good thing. I hope you all have this good thing. Use your brains and think about it carefully. If the most powerful forces in the country die together, what will happen?"

Someone chimed in: "Isn't that great? I'm tired of paying protection fees every time I drive by. It's a good thing that they save money when they're screwed."

The president glared at the man and spat, "Shit! Do you know shit?! The disintegration of the big power means the coming of chaos. Without the suppression of those wolves, the wolf cubs will wantonly break the rules. You can imagine that countless small forces are fighting with each other, in order to grow stronger, they need money, who is the symbol of wealth in this city? It is us!"

"In order to plunder our wealth, they will use all means to plunder our caravans in the wild. Even if you pay one faction protection fee, ten or hundreds of factions will jump out. Every step they take will leave blood Dripping footprints. If the escort group is strengthened, it means that we need to bear more supplies, the transportation capacity of goods will decrease, and at the same time, we will have to spend more to maintain the size and pension of the escort group!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that the income of everyone here will drop by at least half, or even more. This is the harm brought about by the chaos. At the same time, some Byron businessmen who are willing to take the initiative to trade with Bell will also choose to wait and see. It also means that if we want to get things that we could get without leaving home before, we have to go to Byron. After a sum of expenses, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of gold coins will be wasted every year."

"And!", the president narrowed his eyes, and snorted coldly, "There is obviously someone behind this manipulating all this to happen, but the idiots outside didn't notice it at all!"

There were bursts of exclamations in the conference room, not to mention the idiots outside, even among the businessmen present, only a very small number of them saw something was wrong.It's just that everything happened so naturally, so coincidentally, that no one had time to think about the ins and outs of the whole thing, and all the attention was attracted by the so-called million-dollar land deed.

The expressions of some people have changed. They have realized that Ren is not as miserable as they imagined, but much more sinister.At the same time, they also realized that a strong, cunning, and courageous city lord would deal a heavy blow to Ortrenburg's highly developed and somewhat distorted business.He is like a stumbling block that fell from the sky, blocking everyone's way to get rich.

The business tax and agricultural tax of the Orlando Empire are the pillars of the empire's economy. In the past, the city lords of Ortrenburg were not very powerful figures, and their decrees could not go out of the city lord's mansion.The businessmen chose to hand over the business tax to those big figures in the form of protection fees, and the ratio was extremely low, sometimes less than [-]%.Once Renn has cleaned up those forces outside, his next step must be to restore Ortrenburg's tax revenue, which is tantamount to taking a serious bite on everyone.

People here may not be very sensitive when it comes to other things. When money is involved, they all become shrewd one by one. The 20.00% tax and the one percent tax don't need to be compared at all to make a choice.

Someone gritted his teeth viciously and said, "Why don't we raise a sum of money and let the black priest kill Ren, and everything will be settled!"

The president couldn't help shouting and cursing again, "Is your brain made of ****? That's the golden aristocrat! Does the golden aristocrat know? They have the same noble blood and inheritance as the emperor, prime minister, and marshal of the empire. If you kill him, tomorrow all of us, you and me, will be hanged on the official road outside the city, idiot!"

Another person said: "Then let's choose an unambitious local force to support and let him fight against the City Lord's Mansion?"

The president almost ran away after hearing this. The most taboo thing for a businessman is to meddle in such things. If a businessman is not pure, he will soon be swallowed up by a big fish called "nobility".Those nobles have long been jealous of the wealth of the merchants, but they have never had any reason to handle the merchants. They can only look at the gold mountains and silver seas walking one by one and drooling.Now this group of stupid idiots who are not even as good as black barbarians actually took the initiative to hand over the handle of the knife to the nobles. The nobles jumped up with absolute joy, and then hanged them one by one, robbing them of their wealth.

Two proposals in a row were rejected. Everyone knew that they should shut up at this time. The president must have had his own ideas.What they need to do is the same as before, the Chamber of Commerce draws up the plan, and then they execute it.

The president patted the table, "I will officially visit the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, and until there is no clear answer, you all put your tails between your legs."

"Then how do we resolve the dispute between Harvey and the mercenary group? It's a land deed involving millions of gold coins. We can't hold them down for too long. Once they find help, they may even swallow us." A businessman said From the heart of many businessmen here, tonight did make everyone show off, but it also means that the conflict is passed on to themselves. If there is no perfect solution, everyone may not be able to sleep well at night.

The president rubbed his temples and slumped on the chair. Facing these idiots, he was really tired.

"If you are not stupid, from the time you leave the door of this room, tell me that the land deed is actually only worth tens of thousands of gold coins, not millions of gold coins. Three days at most, This thing will settle down."

A very clever method, which fundamentally disintegrated Ren's means. The reason why Ren was able to provoke the nerves of the entire Ortrenburg in a very short period of time was because the concept of "millions of gold coins" was the first Time takes root in people's hearts, and people are willing to believe that it is true, and they are willing to give everything for this rumor.But if this rumor shrinks to one tenth of the original or even less, including the dead Huth and Rice, they will reconsider whether it is worth paying too much for it.

Every year when the merchants of the chamber of commerce pass through Ortrenburg, the protection fee paid to the large and small mercenary groups is about [-] gold coins, and they don't need to do anything to get this money.If the goods being shipped are very expensive and rare, this number will increase a lot.

Harvey's slave business is one of the largest in the entire Bell Province. First, he has a dark heart, and second, he is bold.Other slave traders can capture one or two thousand slaves a year, while Hanuo can capture at least seven or eight thousand slaves a year.The capture cost of each slave is less than one silver coin, but the price can be sold at ten times to dozens of times. The annual income of slave trade alone exceeds [-] gold coins.Moreover, his business is not only slave trade, they will also plunder like robbers in the Byron Empire, which is also a considerable income.

These incomes are very stable, so the land deed of tens of thousands of gold coins is a bit tasteless.In order to fight for this thing, it is not very cost-effective to spend years of savings, and to flee for it, to avoid the pursuit of the same underground forces and the pursuit of the noble class, no matter how you look at it, it is not very cost-effective.

What's more, the president has another trick, the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.
