Chapter 254: When Wealth is a Weapon
At the same time, some words such as "Don't let the nobles blind our eyes!", "We need to get the truth!", "The lord must give us a perfect explanation!", "Oppose the lord to block the tongues of the righteous!" and so on.
Slogans began to be shouted out, and some places even went on strike (Harmony). For a time, the entire Lagoon City seemed to be suffering from some kind of plague. It seemed that people were protesting in every street and alley, and the words of every citizen were
Everyone is shouting for the truth!
Under such pressure, Viscount Norris no longer appears in public, and just hides in his official residence every day. As for how to deal with the Mermaid Song? Don't be kidding, even he now
If you are too busy with your own affairs, how can you still find time to attend to Mermaid Song?
But in Tianhe City, the Earl's official residence that planned all this, everything was like a festival. The lively and happy atmosphere made the place as warm as summer.
"Hahahaha! Beauty, my beautiful little beauty~~! You are really my lucky star! With you by my side, I really do whatever I want recently, everything is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables! Haha!
Ha ha!"
In the huge bathroom, the naked earl was immersed in the chest-high warm water. Surrounded by more than a dozen beautiful girls, they all served the earl in cool clothes. But the most eye-catching among them was,
The most beautiful one, without a doubt, is Count Cap's mistress - Margaux.
Now, Margot smiled slightly, leaned on the earl's chest, and smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty the earl, I have said it many times~~~The reason why it went so smoothly is entirely because of your wise decision, earl. As incompetent as I am.
A woman can be satisfied if she can serve the earl well. How can she have such great knowledge to plan this?"
After being praised so heavily, the earl seemed even more happy. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You are right to say that! It is true that without my decision-making, who can plan so well? Hahaha
! Then, little beauty, please help me guess how long it will take that brat Norris to surrender?"
Margot smiled slightly and said: "I'm stupid, so I can only guess casually~~~"
"If you ask me, that Norris guy shouldn't be able to last three months. As long as we send more people in Lagoon City to encourage the citizens to hate Norris even more vigorously. Since we are the lords, then we will definitely not
He may not have done anything to make the citizens unhappy. We just need to make more use of these things to magnify the bad, stupid and disgusting side of Norris without limit, and then publicize it more. I believe that within a month, he will
It should be impossible to contain this surging public opinion. I will definitely come to negotiate terms with you when the time comes, and by that time, it will definitely not be a problem for our giant-tusked pigs to enter Lagoon City."
"There is only one problem that needs to be overcome before this, and that is whether the leader of their faction, that is, the people above Norris, will be the first to come and replace him, and then replace him with someone else to calm the anger of the citizens. However,
I personally think there is no need to worry about this. After all, for a person as arrogant as Norris, if he is asked to risk giving up his territory to ask his superiors for help, he would not do such an act of completely losing territory. So.
At the very least, he would just keep this matter to himself and not report it to the authorities.
"In this case, then Lagoon City is already in the Earl's pocket~~~ Of course, I think the Earl has already thought of these things, right? He may even have considered them more thoughtfully than me. I'm really ashamed.
Ah... After staying with the Earl for so long, I can only learn such a trivial amount of knowledge~~~ Sir Earl, please don’t laugh at me~~~"
Seeing Margaux's coquettish look, Count Garp was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear. He pinched Margaux's cheeks hard and said with a laugh: "No way! How could I laugh at you?
What? I admire you very much. You are worthy of coming from a brothel. Recently I heard that the untouchables at the bottom have resisted quite frequently. You were also an untouchable in the past. You are well-informed and you are really quick to operate! Hahaha.
!But it doesn’t matter! As long as you stay with me, you will always be my little beauty! Hahaha——!”
Margot nodded slightly. She only twitched the corner of her mouth slightly in response to Count Garp's words, but she quickly returned to normal.
While the count was smiling happily, Margot thought for a while and continued: "Your Majesty, when we conquer Lagoon City, I think there are still some small places that can be taken over."
Count Garp was stunned for a moment: "Where else?"
Margot smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the Earl is really a noble man who forgets things. Have you forgotten? There are three small towns near Laohu City, Kingfisher Town, Honglu Town, and Pelican Town. Although these three small towns
The population is not large, and the products are not very rich, but after all, the mayors of these three small towns are also appointed by the lord Viscount Norris. If these three small towns cannot be directly removed, the giant-tusked pork will leak out in the future.
If they come to cause some trouble when Lake City is exporting, although it won't hinder the overall situation, it will still be a bit annoying in general."
Count Garp was now happy and naturally agreed with Margot's statement: "Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. So what do you think should be done?"
Margo still smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. These three towns used to belong to Laohu City, and general material exchanges are also closely related to Laohu City. If you simply ask them to change the mayor, the effect may be
It's not obvious enough. After all, if you change the mayor at this time, anyone can see that it is you, Lord Earl, who is controlling it. Moreover, the mayors of these three towns have been in office for many years, and they all have sufficient public support in their respective towns.
Therefore, their mayor cannot be shaken casually."
"However, this does not mean that there is no way. It can even be said to be a very simple method. Pelican Town mainly deals in agricultural products, right? Now is the farming season, and we can go to Pelican Town to buy a large amount of iron ore products. Moreover,
It can be purchased at a price much higher than the market price.”
Earl Karp seemed a little incomprehensible: "Iron ore products? Why?"
Margo smiled slightly and said: "Because the Evermian Mountains next to Pelican Town is itself a large iron mine. Although we went there recently for the gold mine, if we instead buy a large amount of iron ore products, then
Those townspeople will definitely risk their lives to dig out some iron ore in the mine. Even if it doesn't work, they will purchase iron ore from other places through various trading methods and then make iron ore products."
"In this way, I believe that the people in Pelican Town will give up farming and start work such as iron ore forging. The Earl can continue to purchase until this autumn. Once the harvest season is over, the Earl will stop the purchase immediately.
iron product."
"In this case, the people of Pelican Town will have a lot of iron products and a lot of money in their hands, but since they are not farming during the current farming season, their food reserves must be very tight."
"Under such circumstances, the economy of Lagoon City should have fallen into the hands of the Earl by the autumn. By then, food can be sold at a higher price. Let the townspeople repay the money they swallowed.
Just spit it out. In this way, you can destroy the economy of these three towns and at the same time make the earl make a lot of money."
"High food prices will drive people into desperation. At that time, a large number of people in Pelican Town and other three small towns will go bankrupt and have to sell their houses and land to pay back the money. In this way, Lord Earl, you can do it without losing a fight.
Purchase these three small towns at a very low cost, thereby consolidating the safety of the passages around Lagoon City."
"My lord, what do you think of my little suggestion?"
Count Garp turned his head and looked at Margot's cute little face, her pink lips, her fair and rosy skin, her long hair that was as smooth as black coal and as smooth as the waterfall of the river, and her
Hidden under the water, looming, with an alluring figure that can make people's blood surge.
Faced with such a beauty, and a beauty who only cares about herself, can anyone still answer "no"?
——May 20, 1302, food expenses: -6 copper and 3 iron, commission fee: 4 silver, 2 copper and 8 iron, salary: -4 copper and 2 iron, balance: 425 gold, 3 silver, 7 copper and 5 iron——
"Is there such a good thing in this world?"
Aero could hardly believe his ears.
After all, looking at the Round Cheese Mayor in front of him, and looking at his current enthusiastic appearance, Ai Luo really felt that it was hard to believe this kind of thing.
"Really! I'm not lying to you! President Arrow, I regard you as a member of our town, let's talk about it! You led our town and made everyone make a fortune, so now we can make a fortune
If an opportunity falls on us, I, the mayor, will naturally not forget to inform you. Isn’t this? This is an opportunity to make a lot of money! Maybe I can really make a fortune in one breath! "
Mayor Round Cheese was dancing excitedly now, his round and chubby face glowing brightly! It was as if a large sum of money had been dropped on his head early this morning.
Similarly, the mayor's current excitement caused everyone in the entire guild hall to look at him, not only the members of Mermaid Song, but also the townspeople who came to entrust the work.
Ai Luo glanced at the townspeople who were handing in power of attorney over there, smiled and dealt with it, letting Coco and Cream temporarily take over, while he took the round cheese mayor and sat down in the rest area next to him, and said: "
