Heart of Empire Chapter 303: Re-Prosperity
On July 20th, Shahaiwan Port, which had already become increasingly depressed in people's eyes and could not recover until Dane or the merchants decided the winner, suddenly became lush.
Business ships bearing the flag of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce came in an endless stream from all over the world.
As an agent of a top chamber of commerce, Bickley has come up with very efficient means.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief at the re-emerging Shawan Port, the most important of which were some local businessmen from Schindler.
These businessmen are actually Dane's real supporters. Although, they are also very unhappy with Dane's new tax bill. This bill, which makes them have to bear more taxes, is of course impossible to please. However, even if it is to bear some more taxes, it is better than no business.
The three major chambers of commerce have capital, and they can give up a large amount of profits in order to force Dane to submit, and they can afford to lose; most of the merchants who do business in sea trade and across borders and regions follow the three major chambers of commerce With the support of the three major chambers of commerce, they have nothing to be afraid of. The worst thing is that they will not be able to do business in Shawan Port for a while, so what's the harm in taking a break?
But not the local merchants in Schindlere.
At the beginning, they cheered for the General Affairs Office under the banner of 'fighting for the interests of businessmen, opposing tax increases, and opposing exploitation', but later, when the depression lasted for almost a month After arriving, these local businessmen were dumbfounded. They found that in this struggle, they were the ones who suffered the most.
But what can they do? Dane would not pay attention to them, and the General Affairs Office would also ignore them.
During this month, many local businessmen who used to be more adventurous in business, or had bad luck just happened to encounter it, or simply had too little capital and too much shop, directly declared bankruptcy .
The ones who are still alive can only be regarded as struggling to support, and they pray that they can hold on to the end of the struggle between the General Affairs Office and the general, who cannot afford to offend anyone above their heads.
Originally, they could not see any hope.
Riots in various parts of the city are still constantly appearing, the number of cargo ships on the port is still decreasing, and the whole city is still going further and further away in the constant decline and depression. Both sides of the struggle seem to be so resolute and tough, and they don't seem to be able to end this confrontation in a short time.
However, the port that has suddenly become prosperous today has made all local merchants breathe a sigh of relief-the squeezed goods can be shipped out, and the orders that urgently need to be fulfilled are finally available. in.
Soon, the entire port became busy, and the faces of those dock workers who had been unemployed for a while also became full of vigor - no ship came, who would use them? Who pays them?
Of course, if someone is happy, someone will be unhappy.
Hurriedly accompanied by bodyguards and guards, Kincade and Clarice, who came to the port, looked at the prosperous and prosperous port, and their expressions were extremely poor.
Clarice, who can be regarded as pretty good in the city, has a cloudy face at this time, let alone Kinkade, who has always been grumpy and revealing.
"Damn, damn, damn! Bastard Bickley! That dwarf who deserves to go to hell! I curse you to die!"
How can you not be angry? The three chambers of commerce clearly agreed to advance and retreat together in Shawan Harbor, but in the current situation, it is no exaggeration to say that the Shire chamber of commerce has stabbed the other two in the back!
"Let's go to that dwarf for an explanation." Clarice said with a cold face.
"Okay! I want to see if that **** Bickley can withstand the anger of our two families!"
Leading their men and horses, the two rushed to the headquarters of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port. However, they were rejected directly in front of the two elf warriors stationed at the gate.
These two elves from Shire are wearing bright silver chain armor and holding enchanted scimitars. They are extremely well equipped, and their personal strength is also quite outstanding. And the indifferent faces on the faces of the two elf guards, as well as the even more indifferent tone, annoyed Kinkade and Clarice, who came here with the attitude of asking questions.
What's even more exasperating is that Bickley seems to have no regard for face. The elf guards guarding the door didn't even make up something like 'Mr. Bickley is not here', 'Mr. "I'm very busy" and other excuses, but said very bluntly: "Mr. Bickley made it very clear that if people from the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce come to visit, they will all disappear."
This made the two of them very angry.
Clarice's expression was as cold as ice, as if she wanted to eat the two elf guards in front of her: "See? You Shire are really shameless. After committing an act of betrayal, you still behave like this Can you just say no?"
On the other hand, Kinkade, who was even more irritable, didn't even want to talk anymore. He pulled out the long knife that was only used as an ornament on his waist in the past. Looking at it, he even planned to use force to break into the door.
Seeing that they were going to do something, the two elf warriors certainly wouldn't stand here as statues. They also drew out the scimitars in their hands, the shining weapons ~IndoMTL.com~ were obviously enchanted.
However, although these two elf warriors are well-trained and well-equipped, they are only two after all. Kinkade and Clarice in front of them even had as many as forty or fifty guards together.
Among the crowd, after only persisting for a moment, the two gatekeeper elves died and the other was seriously injured.
Kinkade, who rushed to his head annoyed, did not intend to hold back at all. He clamored to beat the two elf guards to death, and he wanted to catch that guy, Bickley, and hang him on the Port Avenue to whip him.
He was really dazzled by anger, but next to him, Clarice, who had a calmer personality, faintly felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that Kinkade was about to take the lead in rushing into the Shire United Chamber of Commerce's residence, the glamorous woman in red grabbed the impulsive guy.
"Why are you dragging me?"
"Things are wrong, Bickley's reaction seems to be to provoke us on purpose." (To be continued.)
