Chapter 900: riot!

May 17, DR1370!

This will be a day destined to be remembered by the entire Faerun continent!

Because before that, the common people and the poor who had always been weak and deceptive finally broke out with unprecedented strength. Suddenly more than 10,000 people gathered, and they marched toward the administrative district with great strength

Maybe the crowds gave them an illusion of invincibility, or maybe it was suppressed for too long, so the eruption was extremely strong, and all the guards who wanted to intercept were knocked down and stripped all the way along the way. The armor and weapons of the opponent.

Such a large-scale parade riot shocked the entire Ascatela!

Not only the nobles and merchants were shocked! Even the Shadow Thief, the Temple, the Knights of the Hottest Heart, and even the six-member council were panicked. While mobilizing the army to guard the municipal building, they sent out spies to find out what was going on.

It's a pity that their actions were too slow. As more and more people joined the demonstrators, this terrifying torrent was overwhelming. Finally, even some gangsters who were not under the control of the guild joined in and took the opportunity to smash them. The looting of the merchant's shop was a mess, and the more than 500 people under Annomen could not maintain order at all.

In fact, the so-called riots for freedom and democracy advocated by history are basically the same. To put it bluntly, they are inciting class antagonism and allowing ordinary people living at the bottom of society to vent their anger and dissatisfaction. In addition to bringing destruction and dissatisfaction, In addition to the retrogression of civilization, what is left is the internal struggle for power, and finally become a member of the ruling class. Those civilians who initiate riots have a small number of rights they dream of, but most will live more miserable lives.

But human beings are such complex and contradictory creatures, while clamoring to eliminate classes and establish an equal and free social system, but no matter who, once they have the right, they will no longer want to give up it, and instead use more concealed means. Such as law. Another example is public opinion, which makes most people living at the bottom of society think that they are the masters of the country.

But actually?

In fact, both the earliest slavery society and the modern democratic society on earth are the same. The only difference is that capital determines ideology in Western society. In Eastern society, power determines ideology, nothing more.

Seeing uncontrollable chaos sweeping more and more shops, many businesses closed their doors and locked their doors for fear of being ransacked by mobs. Even the members of the Hot Heart Knights who just arrived didn't know what to do.

On the one hand, suppressing angry civilians is obviously not in line with the norms of goodness, and on the other hand, they advocating order can’t let the riots continue. The commander with a sigh slightly, and the knights who have experienced battles retreat. The temple area.

He knows very well that no matter which side he chooses, the paladins of the Knights may fall into guilt and contradiction, and gradually slip into the abyss of corruption. Therefore, only returning to the headquarters and waiting is the wisest choice, although there may be some infamy. , But it is a hundred times stronger than the fall of a large group of paladins.

At this point in scale, no one can control it. The initiator Lindel never expected such a result. There are many honest coolies who dared to rush to the well-trained guards, and then **** away the weapons, armor and purse of the opponent, and roared forward. , Those hideous faces are like a different person.

Unimaginable disaster!

But for him with ulterior motives, it was a big surprise, because according to the current situation, the task assigned by the succubus could be completed almost without much effort.

"Fuck these (dog) motherly profiteers!"

"Like the Kingdom of West Hartland! Abolish the head tax!"

"We want work! We want bread!"

"Salary increase! We want more salary!"

...

A terrifying crowd robbed shops along the street while shouting slogans. They swept the entire wharf area, shopping mall area, and bridge area like locusts crossing the border. The damage caused can simply be described as infertile. Many businessmen from other places were looted and sat on the ground crying loudly.

It can be said that this city known for its business has already suffered a devastating blow, at least until the situation stabilizes, there will never be any merchants to do business again. Local businessmen will also flee in large numbers. Henry's original goal is almost half completed at the moment, and the rest depends on the response of the council.

Gevera stood on the top floor of the Garden Inn and watched the terrible sight, and took a deep breath and asked the people behind him: "How are our losses today?"

"We got the news in advance, so we didn't open the door for business, and only some samples were robbed. The loss was about 1,500 gold coins, and some glass windows were broken. It should be possible soon after the storm ceases. Re-opening." An old man in his fifties replied earnestly.

After hearing that the loss was only more than 1,000 gold coins, Gevera patted his chest lightly and sighed with a wry smile: "Fortunately, we have always donated money to the mutual aid association, otherwise we will definitely be looted like other businessmen. Tell the people below. , I have not opened business in the past few days, and at the same time I have prepared the money. I am going to buy back those robbed items at low prices, and then sell them to other places. Amn will soon become turbulent, it is the sale of weapons and armors. A good time with food, and jewelry, art, handicrafts, etc. will soon depreciate drastically. This is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune!"

After she finished speaking, she slapped the deputy on the top floor fiercely, with excitement and excitement in her eyes.

Gavila is not the young girl full of vitality before, and the large profit commission is enough to make her change her position and become a profit-seeking businesswoman.

Since Henry took over a large number of caravans, fleets, shops, and properties of the Ronald family in Amn, he can earn a lot of gold every month as long as they are all operated, plus the output and taxes of a large territory , The wealthy are almost draining oil, if it were not for the private army to feed, they would have become the country's foremost rich man.

Of course, the reason why the business is so smooth is also related to the reputation and the identity of the legendary spellcaster. It is necessary to know that the merchants compete with each other completely for every possible purpose. Hiring thieves to steal and destroy opponents’ shops, buy pirates or Robbers rob ships and caravans, in short, how efficient they are.

But Henry's industry has never encountered a similar problem, especially after the news that he destroyed a city in the gloomy area came out, it made those a little bad-minded guys feel terrified. What's more interesting is that the shadow thieves and pirates don't touch the ships and caravans that hang the emblem of the Angome family at all, and they don't even charge tolls.

Such a weird situation has caused many people to speculate whether the shadow thieves and pirates are also afraid of the power of the legendary mage. Therefore, he dare not act rashly.

How did they know that Henry had formed a close alliance with the Shadow Thieves, and the pirates of the Nyranthir Islands had also been subdued, and the Ring of Truth had secretly controlled a large number of bandits and monsters around. It can be said that the whole The evil forces around Amn are under his control. How dare these guys mess up the business of their big boss behind the scenes? Are they impatient?

It is precisely because of countless conveniences that Govela can expand so fast, and at the same time, Amelia’s mage tower is now also very impressive, providing at least one hundred bottles of potions and five magic items every month, so She also jumped to become the second chamber of commerce in the city that sells magic-related things without being seized apart from the masked mage.

The old man in his fifties knew his business association had a strong background and nodded happily: "Madam, please don't worry, I will ask someone to raise funds right away. Make sure to buy all the robbed items at the lowest price. "

"Yeah! You must act fast, before the other big chambers of commerce can react. Remember, let everyone involved in this matter keep their mouths tight, and I will give you 10% afterwards. Dividends."

In order to keep it secret, Govela did not hesitate to give a promise. She knew very well that her chamber of commerce is not like those hundreds of years old and has a large number of loyal buddies, so she must use a portion of the profit to protect the people below. Win over, otherwise once this kind of thing leaks. Great influence on the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce.

"One hundred... one hundred... ten percent!!!" After hearing this sentence, the old man was surprised and did not have a heart attack. He quickly took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement, and then asked excitedly: "You Is it okay to do this? According to my estimate, at least tens of thousands of gold coins will be paid. If you receive magic items, this number will increase several times. Don't you need to notify our boss?"

"It's not necessary. He said when he left that if there is turbulence in Amn, I can make any decision temporarily. The business opportunity is fleeting, and we have to take this opportunity. Think about it. If we make a profit at once. How much commission can I get from the profits of hundreds of thousands of gold coins?" Gevera waved his arms vigorously and shouted like a lunatic woman.

The more contact with the upper class people ~www.ltnovel.com~, the more she realizes that life can still be so easy and comfortable, so she is more eager to make more profits, and then she will have what she wants. This is the life that real people should live.

Thinking that he might get thousands of gold coins, the old man was also very excited. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and shouted: "It's done! For a lot of gold coins! I'm going to get the people below to move. If anyone dares to mess it up! , I threw him into the sea to feed the sharks."

"Yes! Just keep this momentum! Go ahead, let everyone move! Also, prepare the armor and weapons. I think those mobs will need them soon." He clicked the old man's shoulder, turned and walked towards his office room.

She needs to check the accounts carefully so that she has a general understanding of the current funds and stocked goods at hand, and prevents the chain of funds from being broken.
