Chapter 314 The Dirty and Corrupt Last Dynasty

The reason why I say this is because Tang En discovered that this incident was not involving a unilateral force...

The Earl of Malla is a vassal nobleman of the Kadir family. He should have been ordered by Frank to deliberately muddy the waters. He was hiding in the surrounding crowd and inciting people's emotions. Some of them are members of the Kadir family. Yes, and others are members of the Kadir family. Some of them, including those who were ambushing around, were instructed by a chamber of commerce in the business alliance.

Under Tang En's interrogation, he also obtained the name of the chamber of commerce.

Plani Chamber of Commerce.

"Plani Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce run by the Baron Beerbohm family. Its main business is... various high, high and low-end carriages. It almost monopolizes the carriage market in Alexis. In addition, it also produced mints after us. .”

After hearing that this chamber of commerce was mainly engaged in carriages, Tang En knew why Beerbom was jealous of him.

The bicycles he is launching now can be said to have directly captured his low-end market and part of the mid-range market.

With bicycles, who would take a horse-drawn carriage when going out?

For some people from ordinary families, not everyone can afford a carriage, and the cost of raising a horse is not much cheaper than having one more person.

But the bicycle that consumes absolutely nothing is different. It’s okay to leave it there. At most, it’s enough to inflate it.

The advantages of competing with horse-drawn carriages in the low-end market are very obvious.

Fiona handed a stack of information to Tang En: "This is the most detailed information that can be collected in a short period of time, thanks to Hilton's usual activities in Alexis."

Hilton whispered: "This is what I should do, but the information is not detailed enough. If necessary, I can activate our intelligence network for secondary collection."

"We already have our own intelligence network in Yalinks?"

Tang En looked at Hilton in great surprise. He originally wanted to send the coolie named Van Cleef here to form an intelligence network.

"It can only be said to be a prototype..."

Hilton smiled bitterly and said: "It was formed under the guidance of Miss Ye Ge. It bribed some people who were struggling to survive in Yalinks. Although their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, it also saves a lot of unnecessary expenses. But before you A few days..."

Tang En touched his nose to hide his embarrassment: "She has helped us so much, this kind of thing should have been mentioned earlier."

If he had known that she had helped him so much, he wouldn't have done so much in the past two days...

"I thought you all knew... I also mentioned Miss Ye Ge in my regular report before."

Facing Tang En's questioning gaze, Fiona shrugged: "I also told you in the previous information. Maybe you didn't pay attention?"

Well, although she cheated him out of half a million gold coins, she silently helped her set up a prototype of an intelligence network, which was considered a reward. She also helped her find out a lot of useful information. We no longer owe each other anything, but now She almost offended her completely...

Especially now that he knew that Yege was actually Princess Alleria, Tang En felt that it was a miracle that she didn't fall out with him in person...

It seems that Van Cleef has to help.

"I understand. We'll talk about the intelligence network later. We just need to know who is jealous of us."

Tang En shook the paper in his hand and said casually: "They are just young people, nothing to be afraid of."

In Tang En's view, Baron Beerbohm's Plani Chamber of Commerce is a mantis trying to overestimate its own capabilities. People who use such methods simply do not understand that the tide of the times is unstoppable.

In the current situation, cooperation with the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce was his only hope for survival. Unfortunately, he killed his last hope with his own hands.

It's just bicycles now. The emergence of magic bicycles and even magic cars will completely destroy the horse-drawn carriage market, and Baron Beerbohm's Plani Chamber of Commerce will also become a laughing stock.

"You mean, we don't fight back?"

Fiona frowned slightly: "Will you be looked down upon by others?"

Fiona knew very well that due to the rise of the Tang En Chamber of Commerce and Tang En's special status, they were being watched by many parties all the time. They were almost plotted this time. If they didn't fight back, they would definitely be looked down upon. , it might cause more trouble.

Tang En took a sip of tea with a smile and said leisurely: "Of course 'we' won't fight back."

Fiona, who had a close connection with Tang En, hadn't recovered yet, but Grandia immediately understood what Tang En meant: "You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows. Of course, Purandal did not have the idiom for killing with a borrowed knife, but Grandia said a very similar word, so Tang En felt very surprised: "You are quite educated... but don't say that. It sounds so ugly, but it’s just a reasonable counterattack.”

Fiona also came to her senses, with a look of astonishment on her face: "You mean... using their power?"

The "them" Fiona refers to are naturally Adrian and even His Majesty Victor. Tang En tied them to his chariot with their common interests. Now they are all business partners, and Tang En If En can't get through it, it means they can't get along with their money. Tang En was attacked, how could they sit idly by?

Tang En sighed, shook his head and said, "This is the power of collusion between government and businessmen. Tsk tsk, this is the last dynasty that is dirty and corrupt, but I like it."

Their conversation had already confused Elsa and Illya. How could the two simple sisters understand the meaning of these dirty and dirty behind-the-scenes transactions? The only thing they understood was that the lord (eldest brother) planned to find someone to fight back.

So they were simply happy.

In the afternoon, Tang En came to the palace and castle alone and met Victor.

As soon as they met, Victor smiled and said: "The interim version of the Intellectual Property Protection Law has been implemented as soon as possible. Now I am waiting for you to take the lead."

Tang En pulled up a chair and sat down, and said casually: "This is easy to say. After the Glorious Festival, I will immediately send someone to submit the application. As the first batch of chambers of commerce to apply, you can provide certain preferential policy support as appropriate and promote it at the same time. Vigorously promote relevant supporting services.”

"I see."

Because there were only two of them in the study, they were relatively relaxed. While drinking tea and chatting, they soon further improved the intellectual property protection law, and at the same time, they also finalized the future operation method of the hot pot chain.

The poor emperor Victor became particularly excited when he talked about making money. In addition, no one could usually ask him to put down his posture to chat, so when he chatted with Tang En, he started talking like a chatterbox. It was endless, but thanks to this, their discussion progressed quickly.

The hot pot chain relied on various channels under the names of Oberry, Adrian, Victor and Tang En to roll out the entire territory of the Illrus Empire as quickly as possible, and at the same time applied for registered patents, so as to maintain Ke Duo has an excuse to use his own power to attack the imitators and protect his own interests to the greatest extent.

At the same time, the more important role is to promote the benefits of registered patents to the general public, so that more people understand that obtaining a patent means a lot of wealth, and the empire's attitude towards protecting intangible wealth such as residents' intellectual property rights.

After the matter was settled, Tang En said: "Actually, there is another thing I have to do today."

"Please speak."

Hearing that Tang En had something to say, Victor perked up and listened carefully.

"In today's last event, Count Mara was ordered by the Qadir family to cause trouble at my place, trying to create chaos."

Victor immediately became serious: "Count Marat's family is a vassal of the Kadir family."

Tang En knocked on the table and said: "But later I discovered that there was another group of people who tried to cause chaos...it was Baron Beerbom's Plani Chamber of Commerce."

"Plani Chamber of Commerce? I remember that they produce high-quality carriages. The royal carriages have always been ordered and maintained from Plani Chamber of Commerce."

"That's right."

"Why did they...I understand!"

Victor suddenly realized: "Bicycle!"

The impact of bicycles on the low-end horse-drawn carriage market is obvious, and this part is also the most profitable part. It is no wonder that Baron Beerbohm can't sit still.

Tang En nodded and said casually: "Warn them... well, let the tax officer find an excuse to review the books and ban them for ten and a half days, and at the same time find an excuse to fine them some gold coins."

"ah……"

Victor was a little embarrassed: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate..."

Seeing his appearance, Tang En once again deeply understood how aggrieved he was as a king...

"What's wrong?"

"If they forcefully refuse to review, we will have no way to implement it unless we completely change our sides..."

"Why are you so stupid! Letting you send a tax officer to inspect is just to show your attitude! Let them understand that we already know that they did it!"

Tang En really didn't know what to say: "As for whether the tax officer can carry out the order, it depends on whether the tax officer wants to fall out with us immediately. From their reaction, we can also deduce their current attitude."

"This... well, let's give it a try. To be honest, the situation is not very optimistic."

Victor shook his head, glanced at the closed study door, and lowered his voice and said, "There have been some changes in the past few days. The situation has become quite serious. I think... the stalemate may not last long."

Victor's attitude made Tang En become serious: "What should I say?"

"During the Glory Festival in previous years, lords from all over the world would come to the palace to see me and personally report on the situation of the previous year. At the same time, the financial officer also had to report on the tax situation and hand over the taxes to the lords, but this year..."

Victor paused and his eyes became a little gloomy: "Neither the Grand Duke of Matany nor the Grand Duke of Abalon came."
