Heart of Empire Chapter 294: Hit the muzzle

There are many potions that increase strength attributes, and Dane even drank it when he was a mercenary.

However, Dane has only heard of the potion that can permanently increase the attribute of strength in legends.

The strength attribute of two points is not low. At least, after obtaining the Dynasty Heart System, Dane has never obtained a power attribute that can take effect permanently on his body from any other place except for the attribute points obtained by upgrading during this uninterrupted year. .

He used to think that he might be able to gain some attributes by exercising. But during this year, he has never stopped exercising his body. His personal professional level has improved, but he has never encountered the increase in attribute points.

From this point, it can also be seen how precious a bottle of strength potion that can permanently increase attribute points is.

If possible, Dane would like to grab Amani and train himself ten or eight bottles non-stop. When the time comes, just by taking drugs, he can bring his strength attribute to the legendary level.

Unfortunately, this is impossible.

The medicine Amani practiced will only produce effects when a person drinks the first bottle in his life.

This is a pity.

But even so, the two power attribute points are quite precious things.

Thus, Amani's first job was settled - to go all out to help Dane train this bottle of permanent strength potion first!

Of course, when Amani was helping Dane refine the potion, the dozens of alchemy apprentices under him would not just sit idle.

Quick recovery potions and primary healing potions, this is the recent work of the alchemy studio.

Similarly, Corinna also said that she would enchant the fourth-level weapon [Sword of Rage] on Dane's Blood of the Earth. At the same time, the Enchanting Workshop will also start to produce the two enchanting equipment [Sharp] and [Sturdy].

During this period of time, Dane basically stayed in Auriana and didn't run around. The potion of permanent strength and the [Sword of Rage] enchantment cannot be done in a short while, and it will take at least a month to get it done.

As for those ordinary finished medicines and enchanted weapons, although a batch of finished products can be produced in a week, the output of more than a dozen or dozens of bottles is really difficult to sell.

If Dane is going to make money slowly, it's okay to make a batch and sell it. However, these things in his hands don't just represent gold coins.

These things are the two stepping stones in Dane's hand... No, they are not just stepping stones. It seems more appropriate to describe them as battering rams. They will knock on the locked business door for Dane in the near future.

Soon, they will come in handy. When dealing with the big merchants in Shawan Port, what these two workshops can provide will definitely become an important secret weapon in Dane's hands.

However, as a secret weapon, it only has a week's production capacity, and the power it forms is not enough. If it is taken out, the psychological impact it will bring to others is not strong enough. According to Dane's thinking, at least he would have to hold back for a month or two before the products in reserve could achieve the desired effect in his plan.

During this period of time, those big businessmen in Shawan Port will definitely be very excited. But Dane decided to let them jump around for a while, and then deal with these guys when he was fully prepared and thought of solving the problem of Shahaiwan Port in a relatively stable way.

…

Many of Dane's predictions were actually quite correct.

When he was busy with his two important workshops on Comilla Island and Auriana, Velina was already in Sandy Bay Harbor, fighting wits with those guys from the General Affairs Office. .

Just like Dane was reluctant to tear his face apart after hearing about the power of the three giants in Shawan Harbor, how could the three commercial guilds really fight with Dane?

Although they are not based in Shawan Port, they have already sat in the position to control the port city after all. The earning power of this vibrant and largest port of Schindler is still very strong. If it is not inevitable, how can they really fight to the death with the warlord who controls the military power?

It's true that people are fighting for their breath, but everyone comes out to make money, who will get any benefit if they die?

It is precisely because of this that after the tax increase bill was actually implemented, although the commercial guilds did have a lot of dissatisfaction, they did not take any particularly big actions to resist.

But it doesn't mean they didn't resist.

On June 25th, which was the first day that the Shawan Port tax increase bill was actually implemented, there was a disturbance.

Four merchants who had shipped four ships of goods from the Port of Tarens in the Principality of Florence started a tax resistance after learning about the tax increase bill at the Shawan Port.

These four people are at least businessmen who have been doing business in Shawan Port for two or three years. Most of the goods they transported were pottery, clothing, etc., and the four ships were not big ships. But no matter what, the total value of the commodities of these four ships was more than 15,000 gold coins.

Under the tax increase bill, they have to pay an extra thousand gold coins for this ~IndoMTL.com~ and these four guys just quit. On the spot, their guards wounded the two tax officials who were stationed at the port. It was not until the port guards rebuilt after Verina took over that the situation was brought under control.

The guard who wounded was arrested and thrown into the port prison. Businessmen who resisted the tax were taken to a nearby hotel and placed under house arrest.

Under Verina's own orders, the farce that took place at the Shawan Port Wharf lasted less than twenty minutes before being completely subdued.

Verina handled this matter swiftly and resolutely, just like she did when she was defending the North Gate.

However, she had a difficult time regarding how to deal with these businessmen.

According to the current law in Shawan Port, these tax-resistant guys will be fined three times the tax—that is, the original tax and the tax increase are multiplied by three, and the four merchants combined It sounds like they will be fined nine thousand gold coins, which basically means that their merchant ship ran away for nothing, and they have to post more than half of the money.

This is almost tantamount to killing them. (To be continued.)
