Chapter 352 Action
"That is not bad."

Gurishu also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked doubtfully:
"Since you didn't come to the Chamber of Commerce to ask for help, what is your purpose?"

"Hey, hello, we were called by Thomas, and he said that the chamber of commerce is in some trouble."

Paimeng showed a smile on his little face, and by the way briefly introduced himself, Ying and Li Qiuzhi, a big-hearted radish.

"Oh, so it's a famous traveler. I've seen it many times in the 'Steam Bird News', but I still didn't recognize it when I saw it face to face!"

Jiu Lixu suddenly realized, and then continued:

"Mr. Thomas was able to find you. It seems that there is indeed hope to solve the current predicament of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Well, we will try our best to help you solve it. Let me tell you what difficulties the chamber of commerce has encountered recently."

Paimon nodded heavily.

"Hey, everyone, please sit down first, and let me explain in detail." Jiu Lixu sighed, and asked Li Qiuzhi and the others to sit down on the desk and chairs on the left side of the office.

The specifics are not complicated.

Although foreign businessmen can only do business on the outlying islands because of the "lockdown order", they are restricted from going to other areas except the outlying islands.

But even so, everyone still has good benefits.

However, one of Inazuma's three major missions, the Kanding Administration, which is an organization that specializes in managing various matters such as foreign trade with outlying islands, has recently promulgated many unreasonable rules and regulations for foreign businessmen.

The first is high taxes.

It is more than twice as high as that of the local businessmen, which is not bad, it is nothing more than earning a little less. As a result, these businessmen pinch their noses and admit it.

However, those mercenary guys who are determined to pursue it make things difficult for them even in terms of paying taxes.

They actually promulgated a new tax decree, changing the form of tax payment from the mora to something called "crystallized bone marrow", which has never been heard of.

But there is no way, to do business under the fence of someone else's territory, it is natural to do whatever they arrange.

These foreign businessmen still try their best to inquire about collecting "crystallized bone marrow" to pay taxes.

But "Crystalized Bone Marrow" is different from Mora in that it has no circulation, and it is like being fed to a giant whale that swallows the sea after it is handed over to the survey.

Will never appear on the market again.

This also led to less and less "Crystalized Bone Marrow" on the market, and the price was getting higher and higher. In the end, there was only one merchant who had stock.

Then "Crystalized Bone Marrow" was monopolized by that businessman.

He took advantage of his monopoly advantage to continuously increase the price of "Crystalized Bone Marrow", which eventually caused the taxes to almost exceed their business profits in disguise!

If this kind of thing really happened, it would be impossible for them to continue their business, so they could just pack up and go home.

"It turned out to be like this! Didn't you try to persuade the people over there to change the tax money from that 'crystallized bone marrow' back to Mora?"

It was also the first time Paimon heard that the tax was paid with something other than Mora instead.

There is a problem without thinking about it.

"Of course we have already tried this, but Kanding Xingxing ignored us at all. If we want to do business, we must turn in the 'Crystalized Bone Marrow'."

Yuri said helplessly.

This kind of decree that completely drives them to a dead end is too contrary to basic common sense and logic, unless it is determined that the implementation is to see this situation.

But without foreign businessmen like them, Daozuma's foreign trade will be completely cut off. What good will it do them!

"If the policies and regulations are uncertain, we can only find the reason for the entry from the merchant who monopolizes the 'Crystalized Bone Marrow'. If he no longer monopolizes the price increase, it can still make the chamber of commerce feel better. "

Li Qiuzhi thought for a while and said.

"Well, that businessman is indeed suspicious. None of us can find 'Crystalized Bone Marrow', but he seems to have a steady stream of stock. Speaking of which, the businessman came from the 'Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce'. I didn't expect to embarrass us so much now. !"

When Jiulixu thought of this, he became angry.

"So that businessman does have some kind of secret. Mr. Gurish, do you know where he is? Let's find a way to investigate him and see if we can get any useful information."

Looking at the smooth wooden tabletop, Ying thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, we usually trade with him under the tree by the seaside in the residential area, you can go and have a look tomorrow morning."

Seeing that several well-known travelers were willing to help him, Jiulixu suddenly felt that the weight on his shoulders was much lighter.

"Hey, don't worry, leave it to us!"

Paimon patted his chest confidently.

In order to thank the travelers for their willingness to help the "International Chamber of Commerce", Jiu Lixu invited them to have dinner at the best restaurant on the outlying island.

Paimon was very happy about this, and said that no matter what, he would help to find out what happened.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying looked at her with disgust.

In the end, they were the ones who contributed the most, you little Paimon just followed the emergency food around you.

After dinner, Li Qiuzhi and the others casually wandered around the outlying islands, mainly because they wanted to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment. By the way, they checked to see if there was a teleportation anchor nearby. It would be convenient to come here after lighting it up.

There is also Dao Wife's Seven Heavens God Statue, if Ying wants to control a new elemental power, she has to find it and touch it.

Things are going well.

I bought a map of outlying islands in the store, which marked two strange devices on outlying islands, one at the pier and one in the center of the city.

Li Qiuzhi and the others quietly went to light them up while they were still invisible in the night.

As for Inazuma's statue of the Seven Heavens, it's a little troublesome. Its location is on the back mountain of Hiiragi's house, the actual controller of Kanding Xingxing.

Although it has invisibility, it is not difficult to sneak past.

But after lighting up the two teleportation anchors, it was already late at night, and it would take a few hours to get there from the pier, so let's go tomorrow.

It wouldn't run there anyway.

When it was time to sleep, Li Qiuzhi and the others didn't waste money on renting a hotel, they just opened the "Wonderland" and went in, and they could sleep on a floor bunk.

Even after Mona went back, she didn't simply tidy up her astrology research instruments and books that were scattered everywhere.

And with a certain emergency food by his side, Li Qiuzhi couldn't do anything unsuitable for children with Ying.

It's a little pity.

Of course, hugging and touching each other's soft lips is still okay.

It seems that it is convenient to use wooden boards to separate several rooms, so let's start preparing when you are free.

The next day, early in the morning.

The weather on the outlying island was fine, so Li Qiuzhi prepared a breakfast for Mona, who was teleported to "Wonderland" on time to study the starry sky.

After that, Ying and Paimon started to go to the residential area under the tree by the sea to guard the merchant who monopolizes the goods. Jiuli must say his name is Werner and introduce his appearance in detail.

Moreover, he is the only merchant who sells "Crystalized Bone Marrow", as long as you see it, it is not difficult to recognize it.

There are already a few people waiting here like them, and they should be the merchant who wants to buy "Crystalized Bone Marrow" from Werner.

After a while, a businessman who looked exactly like the one described by Jiulixu came over.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying, who had long been hidden in the "invisible field", looked at each other and signaled that they were ready to act.

After the merchants who asked Werner to buy "Crystalized Bone Marrow" left, Werner also started to leave, and Li Qiuzhi and the others quietly followed behind him.

Follow Werner to see how he got so many "crystallized bone marrow".

He remembered that it seemed to be the work of the shogunate sergeant who collected taxes. If he saw them later, he would catch them all in one go. This was much easier than slowly investigating!
