Broad World

DR1370 May 17th!

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

Because the civilians and the poor, who had always been weak and deceitful before, finally erupted with unprecedented strength, gathering more than 10,000 people at once, marching towards the administrative area in a mighty manner,

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

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

Not only the nobles and businessmen were shocked! Even the Shadow Thieves, the Temple, the Knights of the Fierce Heart, and even the Council of Six panicked. While mobilizing troops to defend the municipal building, they sent 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 became unstoppable. In the end, even some local hooligans who were not under the control of the guild joined in and took the opportunity to smash Looting the merchant's shop was a chaotic mess, the more than 500 people under Anuomen 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 incite class antagonism and let ordinary people living at the bottom of society vent their anger and dissatisfaction. Apart from the retrogression of civilization, what remains is the internal struggle for power, and finally become a member of the ruling class, and a small number of civilians who initiate riots can obtain the rights they dream of, but most of them will live a more miserable life.

But human beings are such complex and contradictory creatures, clamoring to eliminate classes and establish an equal and free social system. But no matter what kind of people, once they have the power, they will not want to give it up. Instead, they use more subtle means, such as the law, or public opinion, to make most people living at the bottom of society think that they are the masters of the country.

But actually?

In fact, it is the same whether it is the earliest slavery society or the modern democratic society on the earth. The only difference is that in Western society, ideology is determined by capital, while in Eastern society, ideology is determined by power. That's all.

Seeing the uncontrollable chaos engulfing more and more shops, many businesses closed their doors one after another and locked their doors firmly, for fear of being ransacked by mobs, even the Knights of the Hot Heart who just arrived Members don't know what to do.

On the one hand, suppressing the angry civilians is obviously not in line with the norms of kindness, and on the other hand, they who advocate order cannot allow the riots to continue. The Grand Master Witheran sighed slightly, and returned with the experienced knights. Temple area.

He knew very well that no matter which side he chose, the paladins of the knight order might fall into guilt and conflict. Gradually slipping into the abyss of depravity, so the only wise choice is to return to the headquarters and wait, although it may bear some infamy. But it's a hundred times better than the fall of a large group of paladins.

The development of the scale to this point is beyond the control of anyone. The initiator, Lindell, did not expect such a result. There are many honest coolies who dare to rush up to beat the well-trained guards, and then snatch them all. The weapons, armor and money bag, roaring and striding forward, the hideous faces are completely like a different person.

Unimaginable disaster!

But it was a big surprise for him who had ulterior motives, because judging from the current situation, the task assigned by the succubus could be completed with almost no effort.

"Fuck these (dog) bastard profiteers to death!"

"Like the Kingdom of West Hartland! Cancel the poll tax!"

"We want work! We want bread!"

"Salary increase! We want more salary!"

...

A terrifying crowd looted shops along the street. While chanting slogans, it swept across the entire dock area, shopping mall area, and bridge area like locusts crossing the border. The damage caused can be described as no grass. Many businessmen from other places were looted and sat on the ground crying loudly.

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

Gavila stood on the top floor of the Garden Hotel and watched the terrible scene, took a deep breath and asked the people behind him: "What is our loss 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 subsides." Re-open." An old man in his fifties replied seriously.

After hearing that the loss was only more than 1,000 gold coins, Ge Weila patted his chest lightly, and sighed with a wry smile: "Fortunately, we have always donated to the Mutual Aid Association, otherwise we would definitely be looted like other merchants. Tell the people below , I will not be open for business in the past few days, and at the same time I have prepared money, I am going to buy back those robbed items at a low price, and then sell them to other places. Amn is about to become turbulent, it is the sale of weapons and armor It’s a good time for food and jewelry, but jewelry, art, handicrafts, etc. will soon depreciate sharply, which is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune!”

After she finished speaking, she slapped the deputy on the top floor fiercely, her eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

Gavila is no longer the youthful girl she was 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, as long as they are all in operation, they can earn a lot of gold coins every month, plus the output and taxation of a large territory Well, those who are rich are almost oily. If it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of private soldiers to support, they would have become the country's leading rich man long ago.

Of course, the reason why the business is so smooth is also related to the famous reputation and the identity of the legendary spellcaster. It is necessary to know that merchants compete with each other to the extreme, hiring thieves to steal and destroy the opponent's shop. Buying pirates or robbers to rob ships and caravans is all about how efficient they are.

However, Henry's property has never encountered similar problems, especially after the news that he destroyed a city in the Underdark, it made those guys with bad intentions tremble. What's more interesting is that the Shadow Thief He and the pirates didn't touch the ships and caravans with the Angemei family crest at all, and they didn't even charge tolls.

Such a strange situation made many people speculate whether the shadow thieves and pirates were also afraid of the power of the legendary mage, so they dared not act rashly.

How do they know. Henry has long formed a close alliance with the Shadow Thief, and the pirates of the Nelanthal Islands have also been subdued. In addition, the Ring of Truth has secretly controlled a large number of robbers and monsters around it. It can be said that the entire surrounding area of ​​Amn is slightly Some powerful evil forces are under his control, how dare these guys interfere with the business of their big boss behind the scenes, are they impatient?

It is precisely because of the countless convenient conditions that Gewila can expand so fast. At the same time, Amelia's Mage Tower is also operating well and can provide at least one hundred bottles of potions and five magic items every month, so She also leapfrogged to become the city's only masked mage. The second chamber of commerce that sells magic-related items without being seized.

The man in his fifties knew well that his chamber of commerce had a strong background, so he nodded happily: "Madam, please rest assured. I will send someone to raise funds immediately, and promise to buy all the robbed things at the lowest price. "

"Well! You must act quickly, and act first before other big chambers of commerce react. Remember, let everyone involved in this matter keep their mouths shut, and I will give you 10% afterwards. Dividend."

In order to keep it secret, Ge Weila made a promise without hesitation. She knew very well that her chamber of commerce was not like those hundreds of years old brands. There are a lot of loyal buddies, so we must take part of the profits to win over the people below, otherwise, once such things are leaked, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the chamber of commerce.

"Hundred...hundred...ten percent!!!!" After hearing this, the old man was so surprised that he didn't have a heart attack. He hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement, and then asked excitedly: "What are you doing?" Are you sure it's okay to do this? According to my estimation, at least tens of thousands of gold coins will be paid, and if you receive magic items, this number will be multiplied several times. Don't you need to inform our boss?"

"It's not necessary. Before he left, he said that if there is turmoil in Amn, I can make any impromptu decision. The business opportunity is fleeting, and we must seize this opportunity. Think about it. If we earn For the profit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, how much commission can I get by then?" Geweila shouted, waving her arms vigorously like a madwoman.

The more contact with the upper class people. The more she realizes that life can still be so easy and comfortable, the more she desires to make more profits, and when the time comes, she can get whatever she wants. This is the life a real person 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. Anyone who dares to mess up , I threw him into the sea to feed the sharks."

"That's right! Just keep this momentum! Go ahead and get everyone moving! Also, get your armor and weapons ready, I think those mobs will need them soon." He touched the old man's shoulder, turned around and walked towards his office room.

She needs to check the accounts carefully in order to have a general understanding of the current funds on hand and the hoarded goods, so as to prevent the funds from being broken.
