Isaac

After the announcement of the plan, Isaac began buying up all the land in the theta district during the construction. Even though Newport City was cheap, Codnell foamed at Isaac's act of buying up useless land in the Theta district, which cost a lot of money.

However, he did not break his stubbornness, but Isaac said he could buy land with anyone he wanted.

The dispatch workers raised money in the form of a joint investment in land near the bridge where they could recover money for some time, even if things failed, just in case.

The Elves thought it would be fun, too. They collected some money from each other, and the Northbears contacted the municipality, saying they could trust Isaac, and invited all the clans who were playing around with the land as a tribe.

It turned out that the real estate in the Seta district was owned by Isaac 70, the Northbears 20, the Elves 9, and the dispatch staff by about one percentage.

The majority of the landowners were Port-si citizens, who were willing to surrender the land because they took twice the price in addition to tax threats.

When the real estate purchase was complete and he was sipping a cigarette on the city hall roof as a loud noise at the construction site, Cornell approached Isaac with a pale complexion.

“We've got trouble. ”

“What?”

“I have no money. ”

“Why?”

“Come on! Most of the money flew away to buy up all the land in Theta! If we keep going, we're bankrupt! In a month's time, the workers won't even be able to pay their wages! ”

As he jumps up and down, he looks annoyed at Codnell's appearance as he looks at his use.

“You really don't have any money? ”

“Yes! I don't have anywhere else to put my money, but I can't stand it just waiting!" ”

“Why don't you have somewhere to put the money? You know how the Ribollen Merchants Guild builds hotels? ”

Isaac lured Goldman, the Ribollen Merchant Guild, to build a lodging business around the gambling den. The legalization of prostitution was good, but Goldman offered to enter the hotel business because there were no lodging businesses for people to rest in, and Goldman decided to invest in the construction of one luxury hotel for two ordinary hotels and nobles using the authority of the merchant.

“Isaac didn't make a profit and sold the money he bought! The cost of building a hotel is not under our control in the first place! ”

As Codnell gasps for breath, Isaac looks annoyed and asks for a cigarette.

“I can't help it. I was going to use this as my last resort when my plan failed, but now I have no money. ”

“No way! ”

Isaac grumbles, shouting in a loud voice at Codnell.

“Raise the tariff. ”

“To?”

Cornell glances at you, and Isaac pours you a drink in a new glass.

“I'm the lord. I'm authorized to tax everything that comes into Newport City. Strike as much tax as possible on the loading dock and all items stored in the warehouse as permitted. ”

Codnell sips the liquor Isaac gave him, making sure it's ridiculous. Taxes are the authority of the lord, but the lords receive as little tax as possible. That way, more merchants can take advantage of their land and the price is stable.

The same applies for port attempts. Although we have the conditions of Heaven & '92; s Heaven &' 92; s will to concentrate the supplies, supporting its position is almost free tariffs.

All the loading docks and warehouses are located in Newport City, so merchants must pay taxes as well. Fort City used to take over Newport City, so it was customary to pay a small fee, but now Isaac has the authority to suddenly raise the tax as much as possible, so we have to pay the boat or pay the tax. It's not unusual for merchants to cause a riot because both are few.

“Do you think the merchants will stand for it if you pay taxes like that? ”

If the merchants resist, all kinds of penalties will come back. If the supply of all the goods needed to start living from the consumables to the food is cut, the price of the water will have to explode.

“Good. They'll only feed Port City anyway, but they'll be in trouble." ”

“The Colored Bandits use this place too! ”

“Oh, would I get the same thing? Especially for your convenience. ”

Codnel rubs his eyebrows to see if fatigue is coming from Isaac's words.

“Hey, isn't it weird that Isaac can raise the tariff to ruin Port City? ”

“Hmm? That's what I heard. ”

“There is a fair trade law. Giving a biased advantage to certain top parties will result in corrective action against the Fair Trade Act. ”

“That's the law. Then tell them to pay the same rate. ”

“The Colorado won't stand for it! ”

“Ah! So noisy. Your head doesn't work like that? Is the repayment of investments a form? ”

“Th……. ”

With Isaac's annoying words, Codnel's head flashes as he seizures. No matter how much tax they raise, the difference will be the difference between heaven and earth if they return the tax paid in the name of repayment of the investment and the other merchants pay it equally.

The problem is that money-sensitive merchants can't possibly know that. Even if the Chosen One is captured by the Empire, the rest of the Merchant Guild will have to collapse if they hold hands. No, the same is true if the vengeful merchants support Fort Shi.

“I'll contact HQ and ask for additional funds. ”

“No, I won't answer it. ”

“To?”

“I only got it because I didn't have any money for a million gigs. I'm supposed to return the investment at interest anyway, but if I get more invested here, my profits go down. ”

Father, Codnell frowns like a mute.

“Just raise the tariff. I'll make sure you get your investment back. ”

“If you do that, the Colorado will be ruined! ”

“That's none of my business. ”

Cornell's attitude to raise the tariff fairly, as if it were a torn nugget, made the sky look yellow.

As long as the chieftains of the team who gathered in Codnel's emergency report blasphemed Isaac and were already involved, they decided to make an additional investment by raising the real tariff to see the blood themselves.

If I threaten to blackmail him like this one more time, I even prepared a grand blackmail to bury Isaac, but before I tried it, I insisted on raising the tariff.

Therefore, as if the fire had fallen on the back of his foot, the blackmailing party had made a small investment on the condition that he would only make an additional investment to appease Isaac, rather than threatening to refuse to be invested. Consistent with the understanding that only we can't see blood, we attracted all the merchants who use the waterway to create an investment.

Fort Shima became famous as a great scammer by making anecdotes that he begged for help and gave money to his allied faction as well as to his enemy faction, even though he refused to accept Isaac's investment as an incentive to prevent the refusal and weaponization of customs duties.

Anyway, when the money problem was resolved, Isaac was still hanging around. It was noisy at first, but now I'm used to the murmuring of construction sounds to the lullaby. Today, he is warming himself in the warm sun on the city hall rooftop as well, and Codnel, who came running scared, wakes up Isaac's fast asleep.

“What else? ”

I woke up and stared at him with an annoying look, but he was trembling with a pale complexion and frowned on his feet.

“Fall back, evil lord! ”

I didn't even have to ask Codnell why. When many people shouted in one voice, they got up and walked to the railing. There were about a hundred people in the small square in front of the city hall and workers who wanted to see what was going on around it.

“There's the Evil Lord! Let's get our rights back! ”

“Working Hours Compliance! Wage increase!”

“What, those? ”

Isaac leans halfway across the ledge, smoking a cigarette, and looks at the unfunny sight. Like the men living in Newport City, the construction tools in their hands were turned into weapons, all wearing harsh accents.

“After lunch, they suddenly stopped working and gathered like that! ”

“Is this getting in the way? ”

Isaac was not naive enough to believe that things would go according to plan. Earl Mylos, too, knew that Port Attempt and somehow would get in the way in the neighbouring town, so he didn't seem embarrassed and just came here.

“What about Rizzley?”

“The Northbears are guarding the town hall now. ”

“Bring it.”

According to Isaac, Cornell makes a hasty move, and Rizzley shows up with a decorative object in his hand.

“What's that? ”

“It's a loudspeaker. I think I need it. ”

“Hmm, you're sneaking up on me fast. What's wrong with them all of a sudden? ”

“Isaac received an additional investment, and some workers have been provoking people for days to say," Why are we paying the same wages? There were not many people who responded well, and there were a lot of people who wanted to fight with insults, but I didn't know that this would happen. ”

Haha. I just smile.

The wages? The wages they used to receive were calculated at 1.5 times the wages of the construction workers in other towns, giving them a chance to escape their miserable poverty and Newport City.

Meals? I told the children to feed them. In addition to feeding them every meal, I also provided them with plenty of bait, including laborers' meals. To explode every day for those living on a daily basis.

When I worked full hours, I even made it mandatory to pay for a day's rest.

There's no such thing as a great employer!

I thought that justice was still alive because there were not many people who responded, but it was unpleasant.
