Over the past 10 years, Ve Company has expanded its influence to every corner of Charlemagne.
Needless to say, the absolute monopoly in the commercial field, taxation, medical care, postal services, logistics, public construction - the undertakings and resources that should be controlled by the state and the nobility are also subject to the loan usage clauses in the "Westphalia Loan Treaty"
It is handed over to ve company for operation. At the end of the clause, it is also indicated whether it can be managed by ve company, which directly determines the amount of the loan.
No matter what evil intentions the foreign governments harbored against Charlemagne, this kind of taking away people's wealth immediately aroused all kinds of kin-killing hatred. Except for the big and small nobles who had strong capital to invest in Ve Company, the law followed Ve Company's exclusivity.
The middle- and lower-class knights who had gained any benefit in their growth were full of disgust and anger. Not only had their financial paths cut off, but few knights could maintain a rational attitude towards the abnormal development of a group of businessmen who were equal to themselves and interfered with national affairs.
From that time on, this monopoly consortium appeared on the list of the most hated objects of the knights. The hatred index was directly catching up with the United Principality of Ross, which ranked second, and it had the potential to surpass the champion Albion in one fell swoop. The tolerant knights
In line with the principle of "In order to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle our domestic affairs", [
The sacred and glorious tradition must not be tarnished], connected in series, and then collectively submitted a letter to His Majesty the King, demanding punishment for illegal activities in the operation of ve company, proposing to use legal inscriptions to prohibit businessmen from interfering in national affairs, and severely crack down on monopolistic behavior in the commercial field, [
With a bit of spicy black comedy, the confrontation between the concerned people and the monopoly consortium officially kicked off half a year after the signing of the "Westphalia Loan Treaty".
Strictly cracking down on monopolies and ensuring healthy market competition is what every government strives for, but the premise is that the government maintains sufficient influence. Even if the king and prime minister, who are worried about repaying loans from various countries every year, know about the activities of Ve Company, they will not
Li Lin, who kept his eyes open and understood, also restrained his subordinates from using large-caliber howitzers to solve the problem like forced demolition.
The Cavaliers, who were ungrateful or whose emotional intelligence was too low, failed to see the delicate balance in the calm. They couldn't wait for a response from the top for a long time. They were so excited that they connected with each other and launched mass movements in seven cities at the same time to expel the merchants of Ve Company.
Looting the company's property. The situation got out of hand for a time during the incident. The boycott quickly evolved into purposeless vandalism, smashing and looting amidst the restlessness of the crowd. In addition to ve's assets, ordinary merchants were also damaged. During the period, there were even several robberies and escort tax incidents.
The carriage incident.
The enthusiasm of the people who care about the country is commendable, but the IQ is really not flattering. His Majesty Charles IV may have objections to VE Company's misconduct, but VE Company has really enriched his pockets. Finally, taxation has begun to improve.
Come on, these hot-headed guys dare to incite a mob to attack the tax bureau, which is a big taboo.
No monarch can tolerate the power of force against the central taxation, let alone inciting the people to cause mass incidents. This is a naked anti-system behavior. How can it be done without suppressing it?
Suppression, resolute suppression!
With His Majesty the King's decree, the bureaucrats with VE Company's hard-earned money in their pockets quickly drafted laws, mobilized the army to drive away, and arrested the rioters and some of the ringleaders. The low-key VE, on the other hand, captured a group of die-hard elements and sent them to
Bamboo surgical instruments were used on the operating table in the laboratory, and it took three days to dismember these idiots.
Since then, no one has dared to risk a vicious counterattack to instigate [Qing Jun Side], and peace and stability have been maintained for nearly 10 years.
Now it seems that the knights are just giving up temporarily and waiting for the opportunity. The incident planned in this small manor is obviously not an isolated incident. After being dormant for many years, the rebel forces seem to have finally waited for the "appropriate time". (To be continued.
