Because the merchant party once again compromised, the final result of the negotiations was relatively unfavorable for the merchants.
Although the taxes were reduced, the noble lords could send people to directly participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the words of the noble party, this was called supervision. As lords, they had to ensure that they could monitor every force in their territory. There could not be any truly uncontrollable forces. But everyone knew that in this way, the Chamber of Commerce in each territory was almost completely under the control of the local lords.
Although they could normally operate and make money safely, as long as the lord turned hostile, they could be wiped out at any time. They could not even think of escaping.
Normally, such a result was unacceptable to Sui Xiong. Who in the world would allow an enemy to live in one's house with a knife? Was there something wrong with their brains?
But for the merchants, as long as the taxes were lower and did not affect their profits, everything else could be compromised.
In the end, what the merchants cared about most was money, and that was all they cared about.
When the results of the negotiations were out, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and released those guys who were so smelly that they looked like they were rotten. He left directly and returned to the God Kingdom.
"You really are a piece of trash that can't be helped!" Back in the council hall, he said, "Manissy, the merchant party is really hopeless!"
The Goddess of Wealth was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't this a good result? There is no need to fight anymore. "
Sui Xiong could not help but be speechless. Then he realized … if the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked! The Goddess of Wealth herself was a fool who only saw money and could not see danger. How could she expect the merchants to be smart and farsighted?
Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh deeply.
"No matter what, this matter is finally over." He was too lazy to mention this kind of nonsense and went straight to the point. "I think the Republic of Northwest should learn from this."
"Learn from this?" The gods of the Void God System looked at each other, not understanding why there was a need to learn from this.
After a while, Wall asked, "Your Majesty, in the Republic of Northwest, there are no real nobles with real power."
Sui Xiong shook his head. "That is not the problem. The problem is — who does our country rely on? Which kind of people are the core of society? "
"It should be the merchants?" Wall thought for a while and said, "The Republic of Northwest can be considered to be a country founded on commerce. Of course, the core of the country should be the merchants."
"Businessmen are too weak and unreliable!" Sui Xiong shook his head and denied this statement. "This time, I witnessed their weakness with my own eyes. Even though I had already forcefully dragged the merchant faction and the noble faction to the same level, as long as they insisted on not taking a step back, in the end, the noble faction would definitely be the one to back down. The problem of the merchant faction's inheritance rights was easy to solve. At most, it would just be splitting the family. But could the nobles split the family? Once the nobles die, their children will fight each other for the right to inherit, not to mention the relatives who have the right to inherit but are not on good terms with their children … So as long as one batch of representatives dies, when I capture the second batch of representatives, the nobles will have no choice but to give way. "
"Although that's the case, it's too cruel …" Morani shook his head. "Do you really have to kill someone?"
"More people will die in a war. Are you saying that the leaders of the noble faction and the merchant faction were raised by their mothers, but the bitter soldiers are not?" Sui Xiong asked.
Morani thought for a while and nodded. "You're right. If the death of a few big nobles or big merchants could solve the problem and avoid war, then let them die."
"But in the end, the merchant faction backed down. Because the noble faction was determined not to back down — the noble faction had the determination to kill the first batch of people, but the merchant faction did not. "Sui Xiong sighed." Those who could afford to die were reluctant to die, and in the end, they lost to those who could not afford to die. "
"This is very normal. For the nobles, protecting their honor is protecting their family's inheritance. So they are brave to fight and brave to die. Almost every family of the hereditary nobles has a member who died in battle. This courage, which is condensed in blood, is incomparable to the merchants, "the God of Law Lao Brans said." In fact, you will know just by looking at the armies of both sides. The army of the noble faction is often led by the lord himself. Even if the lord is not the vanguard, he must be fighting in the front line. What about the merchant faction? Basically, you will never see them where the arrows can reach. "
"Yes, so if the merchant faction really fought, they would definitely lose." The God of Justice Yorgaardman nodded. "With my priesthood of 'courage' as proof, there are many among the nobles who conform to this part of my doctrine, but there are very few among the merchants."
Sui Xiong listened and could not help but sigh again.
The merchants in this world were as bad as those on Earth, but the nobles in this world were much better than those on Earth.
It seemed that it was not easy to promote social progress and take a step forward from the feudal era!
"But I think things will change." After everyone discussed for a while, the God of War, Wenner, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "You may not believe it, but I just predicted that the Commonwealth of Gold Coins will still fight a civil war."
"What?!" Sui Xiong's voice rose a few beats. "Didn't they finish the negotiations and sign the agreement? Why do they still want to fight?! "
"I don't know about this. I can only feel that they still want to fight. Specifically, why? How will they fight? What will the final result be? I don't know anything. "Wenner spread his hands and said helplessly," I am the God of War, not the God of Fate. What will happen in the future, I have no idea at all. "
"Then can you roughly judge who will win and who will lose?" Manissy, the Goddess of Wealth, asked with concern.
Wenner closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then he said with some confusion, "That's strange … why do I feel that the merchant party has a higher chance of winning?"
"How is that possible?!" Sui Xiong exclaimed. "The merchant party can win? That's absolutely impossible! Those cowards, they can't win! "
The gods nodded in unison. Over the years, there had been some conflicts between merchants and nobles in various countries. The results were almost one-sided, and the merchants had never won.
"How do I know how they win …" Wenner himself was very confused. "I also don't think they can win."
"Then how do you think they have a higher chance of winning?"
"I think it's from my reason. But if I speculate from the power of my priesthood, the result is that they have a higher chance of winning," Wenner said helplessly. "I'm also puzzled."
The gods discussed among themselves, but no one could think of how the merchant party could win.
After the meeting, the God of War sent out many messengers to the territory of the merchant party to collect information. He did not care whether the merchant party could win or not, but he was very curious about how the merchant party could win.
Sui Xiong returned to Rye Fortress and continued to work on his "Minecraft." At the same time, he also created a few doppelgangers to move around the territory of the merchant party to understand the situation.
Although he was not the God of War, he also wanted to know how the merchant party could win this war that even the gods did not think they could win.
