My name is Ren

Chapter 23 The good baby who doesn't talk in class has candy to eat
I rested for a while this afternoon. After waking up at night, I started to ring in my ears and felt dizzy for a while. It is already the limit to squeeze out this chapter. There is only one update today. I am very sorry! ! !

=====================
The businessmen in the entire conference room were as cold as cicadas, and some of them were ashen-faced, resentful, and dared not speak out.Some people were terrified, their faces were covered with sweat, and their eyes dodged.

Salkomo, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't have much emotion on his face, but his eyes became deeper.He knew very well that every change would touch the interests of some people. Just look at the Chamber of Commerce in Bell Province. Every change in business means that some businessmen have been eliminated by the times.These people may not be incapable or courageous, but they think too highly of themselves and try to be like a car.After having a detailed discussion with Rennes a few days ago, he decided to firmly support any decision of Rennes.

And he believes that these restless businessmen will soon forget this discomfort.

Someone raised his hand and stood up, and said in a low voice: "Well..., I want to make it easier, I drank too much water, haha!" The speaker wiped his sweat and lowered his head, not daring to meet Rennes look.

Ren glanced at him, the man's fat body shook, and he pointed to the chair, "Sit back!"

The man turned pale, sat down again with a dry smile, and seemed to be talking to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, I can bear it."

Salcomo called the people to come in, and the dead body was quickly wrapped in a fine cashmere blanket and moved out of the meeting room.The blood on the table and the traces on the ground were also cleaned up in a very short time.

The meeting room was full of oppressive atmosphere. A fresh life, or a familiar life, disappeared in the blink of an eye. For these businessmen, it was still too shocking.

Ren nodded, slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, his eyes were more or less focused on him, he didn't care, "Continue the topic just now, let's take the smoke brick of Long Island as an example , I have collected higher taxes, so I will naturally give greater benefits, let me simply say, for these products that need to be taxed more, I will exercise the 'special commodity monopoly'!", he tilted his head Legs, both hands clasped together, and the index finger of the right hand tapped the back of the hand lightly, "What is the monopoly of special commodities? Simply put, only merchants who have the monopoly of this special commodity are allowed to import cigarettes from Byron. Brick. There is only one indicator for the exclusive right of each commodity.”

"For example, if Mr. Salcomo obtains the monopoly of Dragon Island smoke bricks, then on my territory, only he is legal to buy, sell and transport Dragon Island smoke bricks. It is illegal to transport smoke bricks. The Imperial Constitution has given me the power to rule against the law, and all smoke bricks that enter Orlando illegally will be seized and burned." The expressions of the merchants suddenly changed, more or less He would glance at the empty chairs, and he interrupted at the wrong time.

This merchandise monopoly is simply an officially licensed monopoly. Think about it, the entire Orlando Empire has more than 2000 powerful families of various sizes, and tens of thousands of businessmen.These people are all consumers of Dragon Island smoke bricks, and hundreds of thousands or even more smoke bricks are consumed by the Orlando Empire every year.If these businesses are all in the hands of one person, it only takes two or three years to artificially create a super business empire.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the potential benefits that will be brought after mastering this channel.For example, being a knight, with money and contacts, it is not too difficult for a businessman to manipulate to become an imperial noble.

Furthermore, this kind of monopoly operation is officially approved and maintained. No matter what problems arise, there will be a privileged class to help them settle...  

But soon, they changed their minds, the person who made this promise was just the lord of the city, which calmed their congested heads a little.

Ren knew what they were thinking and gave them time to think. Then he said with great wisdom: "From the end of this meeting, Ortrenburg, and even the entire Weimar corridor, will not have any more Monopoly goods entered the empire through illegal channels."

Salcomo also said: "From today, the Bell Chamber of Commerce will support Baron Wren's political development as much as possible. We can't give Baron Wren too much help, but money is everything!", He is conceited His smiling face immediately enlivened the atmosphere, saying that other ability merchants may not be able to use it, but when it comes to money, it is really too much to count.

Everyone's eyes are shining with wisdom, and they can already imagine that once Renn returns to the imperial capital and obtains a higher status and privileges with their help, then the radiating range of this "commodity monopoly" will also Just wider.If one day, Rennes becomes a big figure like the prime minister of the empire and the grand marshal of the empire, then this monopoly will radiate to the entire empire!Even if he can't do it, it is still possible to radiate half of the empire with the ability of one leader.

Everyone is panting, and they all have their own calculations for business.Even if the monopoly that Wren said can only affect the province of Bell, the merchants are not at a disadvantage. As long as Wren can guarantee that no one else can bring Byron's things through the Weimar corridor, it will be fine. They still earn money after taxation.The cost and risk of sea transportation are far higher than land transportation. With the cost doubled and then transported to Bell Province, this business route is not very competitive at all.

At least it is guaranteed that under the condition of equality, they will obtain higher profits and greater commodity management rights in Bell Province.

In short, as long as Wren can ensure that these things he promised can be achieved, it is worthwhile to support the abandonment of some antiquated regulations.

Ren finished what he had to say, exchanged a wink with Salcomo, and left. The rest of the time was for discussions within the Bell Chamber of Commerce.They need to make a series of adjustments to adapt to the latest "Wren's Law" as quickly as possible.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Ren did not take a carriage, but chose to walk.This city is really too dilapidated, and several consecutive city lords have not had time to assert their political ambitions, and fell into the struggle with local forces.A city without funds to maintain it looks like a huge slum, full of corruption and dilapidation.Residents who lack security and jobs wander the streets, hoping to find some work, but they will end up disappointed as the bottom of a certain power.

But at the same time, the city also has great potential.

Ryan's perspective on a thing is different from that of others. Others only see the negative things in this city, and they expand infinitely.Ren, on the other hand, saw the infinite possibilities among these negative contents.

This city is very "young". Once residents lose the conditions to earn a living, such as age or disability, they lose their lives.This city is not like some highly developed commercial ports. Wealthy people like to immigrate to enjoy their old age in the past, which makes the aging index of those cities higher and higher.In this city, which is called the city of chaos and the city of sin, the average age of residents is very low, and there is hardly an old man on the street, at most, a man in his 40s.

A young city means that if someone can bring her into the right place, she will run wild all the way under the shocked eyes of others!
"Did Kent and Pulce come to see me these days?" Ren bought a few handmade wooden ornaments from a small shop on the side of the road. wooden cross.

The cross is one of the symbols of the Church of the Holy Light. It is said that the true God appeared in this church in ancient times, but was later suppressed by some unknown force.In today's Vatican Sunset City, it is said that there is still a statue of this god, which has stood erect for thousands of years without even growing moss.Whenever it comes to Christmas Day, the statue will also emit fluorescence, attracting tourists and believers from all over the world to worship every year.

Blair scratched his head, "I haven't heard that they have visited, even if they come, I won't give them a good face."

Ren stopped his steps, and his gentle expression became a little colder. He was thinking in his mind whether the two of them were going to make trouble again.He never randomly guesses other people's mentality, but brings himself into the role of the other party, and then tries to figure out how he will behave in a certain situation from various angles.In his speculation, the current Pulse and Kent should be eager to see him, and then wash away some of the suspicions on their bodies and beg for their forgiveness.

With Harvey as a role model and Rennes' forgiveness, they have no reason not to give it a try.

After all, he is the lord of the city, the lord of the city, the highest chief executive, who holds the power to change their positions.If necessary, he can directly appoint and dismiss the highest chief of the police force, or he can ask the capital of Bell province to change the selection of the highest chief of the city defense force.

But it's been two days and neither of these guys have come....

Ren had to think about the worst. They were afraid that their troops would be in danger, and their swords were slanted.

Assassination!

Ren narrowed his eyes and snorted twice, "During this period of time, the security and defense work of the City Lord's Mansion has been done properly. Anyone who needs it can ask the chamber of commerce. I will leave my life to you, Blair."

Blair didn't know why, he puffed out his chest, slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord!"
