Warhammer Divine Throne

In the Royal Palace of Curona, Talleyrand sits below with a cane gasping for breath, and on top are the members of the Supreme Command of Bretania. The marshal Formed with the duke, the czar Catalyn was specially allowed to listen, but Aurora and Teresa did not know where they were. When Ryan asked, Olica just showed a mysterious smile.

Talerand briefly talked about the situation in Marienburg.

From the topic at first, Talleyrand confirmed the news that many years ago, the hostile problem caused by the Great Eight Peaks Expedition had never been completely resolved. The big trench merchants of Marienburg Regarding the Bafeng Mountain bond and looting, Ryan always hated Ryan for not letting them make a fortune. Later, after Schultz’s iron-handed management and the dwarves’ revenge, the Princes of the Marienburg business community took a dwarf’s revenge. I was frightened by Ryan again, and it did converge a lot, and the internal division began to divide.

Some business Princes, such as Viscount Casanova, seem to have learned something from Schultz and expressed goodwill to make friends with Ryan.

In some business circles, Prince decided to write off Ryan and everyone minds their own business.

But there are some business Princes who always plan to retaliate.

In the past few years, these people have seen Ryan’s prestige like the sun at high noon. The army is extremely powerful and has won consecutive battles. The big trench merchants of Marienburg were scared to death by Ryan. Dare to retaliate, but forbear.

On Ryan’s side, there are many things, wars one after another, crises one after another, and there is no time to pay attention to the shadows on Marienburg. Moreover, as a model of Knight’s Tao, Ryan needs The lecturer is well-known, and Marienburg is an imperial territory and a free trade port. There is no excuse for hands-on. The two sides temporarily died down and were busy with their own affairs.

But this does not mean that the two sides will always be in peace like this.

“What are the merchants of Marienburg doing recently?” Ryan moved towards Talleylang asked.

“Princes in the business world are making a lot of money recently.” Talleyrand smiled: “Holding up and speculating on the three substances of food, cloth and coal, these big merchants rely on the old world. The beacon is really making a lot of money, especially the leader of the Bacher Chamber of Commerce, Klind… and clamoring, Your Majesty and everyone, this is what they said, I said, don’t you guys Angry.”

“What did they say?” Ryan said with a smile.

“They said… the Knight of Brittany has 100 points for military, 80 points for politics, and 0 points for economy. They also said… Marimburg is an imperial territory. If you want to be a jackal, you can only serve with a double-barreled shotgun.” Talleyrand grinned and bared his teeth: “They also said that Marienburg is the headquarters of the Mannan Church of the Sea God. Is it in the lake? Do you want to start a war of gods?”

“hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!” Ryan smiled so much that tears came out: “Everyone, the Princes of the business community in Marienburg seem to think that we, the Knights aristocrats, can’t do anything. Ah.”

“hahahaha!” The Supreme Command was filled with cheerful air.

However, the traditional Knight aristocrats such as Karad and Bohemond all have hidden worries, because they really don’t know what to do.

“Poseidon Mannan is indeed a problem, but don’t worry, I’ve asked Madam to negotiate with Mannan.” Ryan smiled for a while and began to get serious: “As for what we should do, Kara Germany, Bertrand.”

“Yes!” The two marshals stood up.

“Let the army, wait for my order, immediately cross the border of Brittania and arrive at the outskirts of Marienburg!” Ryan said first.

“But…what’s the reason?” Kalad hesitated for a moment, or asked: “If you send a large number of troops across the border without prior explanation, will this affect badly? “

“Chasing chaos remnants.” Ryan laughed and cursed: “This excuse is not simple?”

“Ah! Yes!” Karad suddenly realized, he understood, and immediately To draw inferences from one another: “And we have reason to suspect that there are a large number of Chaos believers in Marienburg, which must be investigated carefully! We also have to enter the city to search carefully!”

“Yes, we must strictly investigate, but it is not us. We will hand this glorious task to the Grand Duke of Marienburg Schultz.” Ryan almost distorted his smile: “We still believe in Marienburg’s self-discipline and error correction capabilities. We believe that the Schultz Grand Guild Give us a fair explanation and answer.”

Kalad and Bertrand took the order, and Ryan moved towards the dukes and said: “In addition to the army, the other hand must also be grasped. If you want to be hard, please bring out the food in your treasure house and granary and give it to me temporarily. I promise not only to return it in full, but also to add extra money!”

“Follow Your Majesty’s instructions!” Everyone Have absolute confidence in Ryan, he has done too many miracles.

In this way, the liquidation against Marienburg has begun!

In mid-February, Bretania held a grand military parade. After more than 20,000 Breton troops held a military parade in Curona, they turned to the offensive and moved towards Marin. The fort was killed, and he crossed the border between the Kingdom of Knight and the Empire without hesitation. Kalad used the excuses of “chasing the chaos remnants” and “checking out the chaos believers” and swept all the way, approaching Marin in just 10 days. Outskirts of the fort!

The actions of the Bretons caused a huge panic in the upper and lower houses of Marienburg. What do the Bretons want to do? !

We Marienburg is an imperial territory. Do you want to start a war? !

However, Karad seems to be also somewhat dreaded. Karad and Bertrand only arrived at the outskirts of Marienburg and did not rush into the city.

Now the business princes are full of confidence again. After all, Bretonians still dare not enter the city~

They are starting to make new ideas again.

Fried grain, fried cloth, hoarding!

Imperial calendar 2522-Imperial calendar 2524, the old world was spent in torture, Estalia, the frontier prince and Tyrell have basically fallen, and the empire is also wind and Rain managed to persevere while precariously, only Bretania was stable.

This kind of incomparable chaos soon brought terrifying business opportunities to the large trench merchants in Marienburg. Among them, the large trench merchants are paying close attention to grain and cloth. It is a necessity for survival, and cloth is a necessity for making clothes. These two things are the rigid needs of life in the old world. With the large-scale food production reduction and the shortage of military supplies in the old world, the large trench merchants in Marienburg began to frantically speculate on food prices. From 2522 to 2524 in the imperial calendar, the price of food soared by 450% and the price of cloth soared by 230%.

Following the Skaven War in 2523 and the defense of Kurona just now, the largest grain merchant in the old world, Klind, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in the old world, judged that the old world will welcome There is a new wave of food shortages.

At the same time, due to the blockade of the Breton army outside Marienburg, panic has appeared throughout the old world. As the largest commercial center and trade center in the entire old world, Marienburg’s price Greatly affected the prices of the old world. Under the temptation of hoarding roasted seeds and nuts, and the temptation of ultra-high profits, the large-scale merchants have closely united with Klind, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Bach. Start to gather funds for roasting.

At the same time, in order not to give the Bretons an excuse, the big trench merchants in Marienburg are also very careful. They try to make everything they own are legally traded and sold, and they don’t let the Knight aristocrats They intervened, and at the same time they continuously issued various speeches. On the one hand, they urgently sent letters to the front line of the empire to ask for help from the empire.

“Marinburg is the hub of the old world. Anyone who acts on Marienburg at this time is harming the interests of the old world and handing knives to foreign forces (referring to chaos). It is a sinner in the mortal world to ignore the great cause!”

“The 10-hour work system in Bretania and the eight-hour work period obviously do not meet the specific situation of Marienburg, the 15-hour work system. This is the work system that best suits my Marienburg characteristics!”

“Whoever wants workers to increase wages and not work overtime, who wants workers to have the right to collective bargaining, is to destroy Marienburg’s cheap labor The advantage is that they can’t live with the people of the empire!”

As expected by the big trench merchants, the Bretonians seemed to be afraid. The Calad and Bertrand troops stationed outside the city did not A little plan to enter the city.

The opportunity is here!

In March, as spring plowing began one after another, the old world’s grain was facing another wave of major cuts in addition to Bretania. The Bacher Chamber of Commerce took the lead in directly eating all the food on the market. Grain is then hoarded. Compared to 2522, the price of food in 2524 has soared to 670%. Many poor people can’t even afford a piece of brown bread after working all day.

And at this time, Bretania took the shot.

Ryan mobilized an astonishing amount of food from various parts of the Knight Kingdom, and stored it in Kurona. Under his instruction, the Estalian Merchants Union, Oliver Chamber of Commerce, Ha Deliang Chamber of Commerce and Agnew Chamber of Commerce The four major Chamber of Commerce began to sell grain on the market.

On March 1, the Estalian Merchants Union announced that it would sell 10 million kg of grain to the market. The Marimburg merchants headed by the Chamber of Commerce Bacher ate them all in one go and changed hands. You can double-sell from private bakery. With huge profits, countless large trench merchants headed by Bacher Chamber of Commerce borrowed usury and roasted seeds, with daily interest rates as high as 50%-100%. Food prices continue to rise.

On March 5th, Oliver Chamber of Commerce announced that it would sell 10 million kg of grain to the market. In just one day, Bacher Chamber of Commerce bought all grain again, and grain prices continued to rise steadily.

On March 9th, Hadrian’s Chamber of Commerce once again sold 10 million kg of grain to the market. More than 30% of the merchants in the upper and lower houses of Marienburg continued to work together to eat all the grain.

On March 10, the Agnew Chamber of Commerce followed Ryan’s order and continued to sell 10 million kg of grain to the market.

The funds of the big trench merchants began to be tight, and at this time, as the first Chamber of Commerce in Marienburg Schultz Chamber of Commerce and the second largest Chamber of Commerce gentlemen alliance Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to borrow great generosity. With super high interest rates, Bacher Chamber of Commerce once again ate all the food in the market.

On March 15th, the price of grain reached the highest point in the history of the old world. The price of refined barley flour, originally priced at 13 Silver Coins per kg, has reached as high as 15 Gold Coins per kg, the price of rye. It has also skyrocketed from 6 Silver Coins per kg to 5 Gold Coins per kg. The market has gone into madness. Oliver and Hadrian, Amancio and the others even borrowed large-scale loans to Marienburg’s big trench merchants. They go to roasted seeds and nuts, and the scale amounts to hundreds of thousands of gold crowns.

“Come on.” Ryan, who sits in Curona, lightly turned off the dwarf pocket watch and spit out a word after receiving the news.

On March 16, the four major Chambers of Commerce, the Estalian Merchants Union, Oliver Chamber of Commerce, Hadrian’s Chamber of Commerce and Agnew Chamber of Commerce, each Chamber of Commerce at the same time 10 million kg of grain was sold again, a total of 40 million kg of grain, 120 tons of cloth, and 240 tons of livestock were thrown to the Marienburg market in one go!

The big trench merchants finally realized that the major event was not good. When at first went on the market, they were still scrambling to eat grain and cloth, but with waves of crazy sales, the grain and The price of fabrics began to plunge, one price per hour, within a day, the price of food fell by half, and the price of cloth fell by 60%. Many large trench merchants broke their capital chains and burst into losses.

At the same time, Bretons are still selling food, and the goods on the market are not all bought!

On this day on the 16th, two major events occurred.

At the request of Ryan, the fairy in the lake formally reached an agreement with the sea god Mannan and the justice Goddess Valenna. Under the guarantee of the interests of the gods of the old world, the gods agreed not to intervene in this A war without gunpowder.

At the same time, as the Grand Duke of Marienburg, Schultz, together with the Ocean Church and the High Elf Enclave, announced that during internal inspections, Marienburg discovered the Primal Chaos Cult faction and vampire activities. All the banks must be temporarily closed for inspection. Schultz and Casanova started to urge debts, tighten money, and freeze loans.

At the same time, Ryan outside the city also immediately announced the issuance of a new Breton war government bond with a national bond interest rate of 9% and a denomination of 2 million gold crowns, further tightening the money supply. At the same time, Ryan Then ordered Karad and Bertrand to block Marienburg, and the supplies were not allowed to come in!

The big trench merchants headed by Bacher Chamber of Commerce could no longer withstand the pressure and began to sell grain and cloth, losing money and carrying a very heavy debt!

Within 3 days, the price of food was cut once again. More than 40% of the large trench merchants in the Upper and Lower Houses of Marienburg declared bankruptcy. Schultz sent troops to strictly guard the warehouses and banks, but they still couldn’t stop it. Many large trench merchants tried to flee with money and the secret destruction of the Primal Chaos Cult faction. When the city was approaching chaos, Schultz pretended to be helpless, responding to the call of the citizens of Marienburg and the Major Sect headed by the Poseidon Church nodded. Below, the Breton army outside the city was allowed to enter the city to quell the rebellion and maintain order.

On March 20th, the Royal Division of Breton officially entered Marienburg.

Marinburg officially entered military control. Before entering the city, Ryan repeatedly emphasized discipline. The Kings of Breton entered Marienburg without committing a crime and maintained the strictest military discipline without looting. The situation of indiscriminate killing appeared.

At the same time, among the baskets of evidence and piles of debt documents, the Bretons delivered these things to the Grand Duke of Marienburg Schultz very fairly, justly, and openly. , The sun king Ryan expressed respect for Marienburg’s autonomous laws and respect for the laws of the empire. Schultz was invited to justice, and those related to chaos and vampires were executed, and the guilty tried and confiscated all property.

Schultz’s “guilty” stamp on that day was sour.

Holding Schultz’s verdict, the Knights of Bretania began to check warehouses, seal accounts, and collect loans from door to door. At the same time, the old guards and the Holy Grail Knights executed them one by one. Chaos afflicted, eliminated the hidden Primal Chaos Cult faction and vampire organization, and more than half of the thousands of dock warehouses in Marienburg were seized to pay off debts.

The wharf porters, workers, helpers, refugees and farmers who have been suffering from these big trench merchants and vampires are very excited. These people spontaneously lead the way and tell the knight masters of the atrocities of these capitalists. They are How to suck blood on us and exploit us!

No problem! Lord Knight and the old guards patted their chests, let’s call you the shots!

Marinburg, your Knight grandfather is here!

On March 25th, the streets of Marienburg were hung with the bodies of speculators and large trench merchants, the most famous of which was the former largest grain merchant in the old world, the Chamber of Commerce Chamber of Commerce. Klind, who tried to escape with a debt of hundreds of thousands of gold marks, was convicted of treason.

Behind Klind, the bodies of more than one hundred trench merchants were hung under the street lights in the Shield Block and Amber Avenue.

The number was so shocking that Marienburg, once extremely prosperous, began to fall into depression.

The corpse under the street light swayed back and forth. Under the auspices of Ryan and Schultz, a new order was established. The original 15-hour working system was proposed by Ryan and passed through Schultz’s House of Commons and announcing its abolition. , Changed to a maximum of 12 hours a day, and the minimum wage was increased from 3 Copper Coins a day to 5 Copper Coins a day. At the same time, Ryan announced that every year except for the Mannan Day, the Lake Fairy Girl’s Day and the Holy Grail Day are officially in Malaysia. Limburg is a statutory holiday. The former has a 3-day holiday and the latter has a 2-day holiday. Any employment must comply with it.

At the same time, the X+1 Work Injury Compensation System was officially established. The employer must compensate for work-related injuries. The Fairy Maiden Sect in Lake Marimburg has announced that it will accept work-related injury and labor arbitration. Anyone can make a request here. The Lake God Prophet presided over justice, and the church only charged 10% of the arbitration fee.

After 29 months, the price of food finally fell back to the level of 130% in 2522. The price of cloth fell on a large scale. Everyone can finally get enough to eat and wear. Even Ryan also gave out 1 million kg of food. Cookies and sweet wine are made and distributed directly on the street in the name of the fairy in the lake for free for three days.

The whole city rejoiced, and people spontaneously took to the streets to express their gratitude to the knight masters through parades.

Brittania’s Knight culture began to become the mainstream culture of Marienburg.

On March 30, an edict with the emperor’s ordination was issued before Ryan’s case. After reading it, Ryan ordered the withdrawal of 50,000 Bretonian troops in three batches within two weeks. Limburg.

“After we leave, they will give you holidays and reduce working hours, which will increase your wages. This is not because of their conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because we have been here “

————Brittania Feudal Knight

Before leaving, the citizens of Marienburg were reluctant to let go of the Lord Knight. Many people were weeping bitter tears, And more citizens are thinking if Marienburg is ruled by Bretania, will it usher in a fairer and better era?

And those a fish that escaped the net in the Upper and Lower Houses of Marienburg watched with humiliation and hatred that the Lord Knight returned with a full load, and the entire upper and lower houses had more than half of the seats empty.

I beg you demons, please don’t come again!
