Chapter 653: Notice
"What's on the notice?"
There was a lot of people in front of the billboard, but Wende City was no longer like it was at the beginning, and it was necessary to put the sign near the city gate, which not only blocked the traffic, but also buried the traffic hazard.
The sign has long since been relocated and now stands in front of the gate of the town hall, and whenever there is a new notice, it is posted.
It is still a job for the apprentices of the Church of Knowledge to interpret the new notices on the billboards, and even if they don't make a lot of money from the job, they still want the job to be kept, because one more job means one more income, so they don't have to fight over jobs.
Even if most people in Winde City now understand some words - by writing words on each prominent sign, people will be able to understand what that word means, and over time, the city needs more and more places where words are used, and people will be able to recognize more common words, which is enough for them for the time being.
However, they did not understand what was written on the notice, and they needed an intellectual to help them analyze and interpret it.
In the crowd, several young dragons with silver scales stood out, and in order to be able to see what was on the notice board, they stood up, leaned up their slender necks, and joined in the fun intently - it didn't matter much to them anyway, they were just here to join in the fun.
The city was much more interesting to them than the southern continent, where their most entertainment was hunting, but there were many more entertainment and facilities that they had never seen before, and sometimes they could wake up in the middle of the night to their parents and neighbors shouting 'all the same' and 'blossoming on the bar'.
Rather than lazy adult dragons, young dragons prefer to gather together to make a fuss, as long as there is a lot of excitement in the city, they like to go whichever way they like, and no one dares to hurt them in this city.
There were also two elven soldiers from the Starry Moon Forest in the crowd, and the elven slaves they rescued still stayed in the apartment specially isolated by the head maid every day, because they all knew that this was a human city, and outside the apartment, they were all 'humans'!
When they returned to the Duchy of Sorrow, it was already winter, and at such a time, they led a large group of men and horses across the Mason Prairie, which was literally to deliver food to the beasts of the grassland.
They themselves are not capable of sending those poor compatriots back to the Star-Moon Forest, so they can only stay in the territory of the Wailing Wind Principality for the time being, and then return to the Starry and Bright Moon Forest at the beginning of spring next year.
"After the end of winter to the beginning of spring, the Duchy will introduce 'zero tariff' on certain goods from the Kingdom of Kolo......"
People only read this and ignored the following "what kind of goods are the specific goods, which are still being discussed, please do not spread rumors", and immersed themselves in the shock of "zero tariff".
What is 'zero tariff'?
They are accustomed to paying taxes - under the constant propaganda campaign of the maids, every commoner knows that the taxes they pay will be used for national construction, scientific and technological development, and people's livelihood construction.
Because taxes are not heavy, unlike before, today's Principality of Sadness is to gather the strength of the whole country to seek development, and the emergence and vigorous development of various industries have greatly increased people's income, so everyone has become accustomed to paying taxes.
Because I understand, I will be surprised.
In their view, 'zero tariff' represents absolute convenience, and businessmen who do business between the two countries will definitely make a lot of money."
You can make a lot of money just by selling certain products, but what if you sell other products at the same time?
'Zero tariff' is to release the message of 'strengthening cooperation and exchanges between the Duchy of Sorrow and the Kingdom of Kolo', if the merchants were only a little ignorant before, then when they came to this country, and had done business in this country many times and lived in this country for a few months, they would know that 'information' is also a commodity, and it is extremely precious.
However, information is time-sensitive, and it is just a matter of whether it is long or short.
They are well aware of what the range of possible messages released by 'zero tariffs' means in itself.
The previous head maid had just come to human society and lowered the commercial tax in Wende City, which had already attracted a large number of admiring merchants and adventurers, and now there was a 'zero tariff', so those who were not tempted should also take action.
Just release the news...... No, the news will definitely be released!
Because this is the holy city of the Church of Fortune, and the Lady of Fortune has only established a 'business alliance' before, the news will definitely spread!
After this incident, even if there are those merchants and nobles of the Moore Commercial Federation openly and secretly obstructing them, I am afraid that many businessmen will selectively ignore the voice of the huge Commercial Federation and turn to the arms of the Church of Wealth.
This is a commercial competition, and the merchant aristocracy cannot use subordinate means to stop it, otherwise the Church of Wealth can also use inferior means, so that the nobles of the Moore Commercial Federation may lose more than lose both, because the main body of Mohr is the merchants, but not the nobles of them.
If it weren't for the oppression of the merchant aristocracy, then perhaps Moore's commerce might have been more developed.
And in this era of class solidification, someone can go up only when someone is down, so it is impossible for the merchant nobles to expect those merchants and landlords below to wave their flags and shout for them, easily, the merchant aristocracy will not use the means of doing things, this is also the consensus between them, if anyone uses it without notification, then everyone will kill him.
The confrontation between the two forces does not need evidence, just an excuse is enough.
The elementary school members of the Church of Knowledge stammered to interpret the notice for the people gathered in front of the sign.
He didn't read it deeply, and he didn't know if it was intentional or if he really didn't know anything, and he didn't think of it that much, but the latter was indeed more likely.
Some people think of this layer of reasons, while others think of a deeper reason -
The Principality of the Howling Wind, this time I'm afraid it doesn't want to 'plunder resources'!
If you are not a supplier of raw materials, you may not know that the factories in this principality are like 'production monsters' that devour all kinds of raw materials and then produce all kinds of products.
They could vaguely guess that if the Goure Principality did this, there would be a shortage of raw materials sooner or later, but none of them said it, and the others understood it and didn't talk to anyone.
The above notice was too vague, and it was different from the notice they had seen before, and there were too many differences, so they couldn't help but wonder if the Principality of Sorrow wanted to plunder resources?
Because the country is rich enough, and the 'production efficiency' is far beyond that of other places, it may not be impossible, or even 'very probable', in terms of the total amount of goods that the factories 'eat'!
So, is the 'certain goods' written above the 'raw materials'?
And as mentioned above, there will be 'zero tariff' between the Duchy of Sorrow and the Kingdom of Kolo, so does it mean that as long as they can prove that they are 'from' the Kolo Kingdom, they will be able to enjoy such a preferential treatment?
For a while, the raw material supplier standing in the crowd was full of blood, as if he saw that he had grasped the future in his hands.
Hoarding raw materials is nothing, even if the goods that are opened to 'zero tariff' in the future are not raw materials, the Principality of Sadness will eat them, as long as they are released in batches, they can avoid being depressed...... So, what are you waiting for?
