Chapter 228 227. Things Are Heading in a Strange Direction

Regarding the issue of food, no feasible solution could be discussed in the end. Whether it was Mo Cheng's proposal to kill hoarding merchants to get food, or to kill nobles to get food, they were clearly and resolutely rejected by the majority of people.

The country in this world is different from the country where Mo Cheng was born. The interest class is only responsible to their own monarch or superior, that is, "the vassals I vassal are not my vassals", and the style of painting is not that of Mo Cheng. A unified style.

Queen Aundair has the idea of ​​centralizing power, so she is now being secretly targeted by many nobles, and some even treat her as a second-in-command to collude with outsiders. So that whether it was the group of fuying fugitives from the prison, or the team from the Inquisition that entered Fairhaven without anyone noticing, the work of those nobles was indispensable.

To be honest, if Queen Aundair hadn't been strong enough in terms of her own strength and military strength, she might have suddenly lost her footing and fallen into the water one day.

And now there is no need to think about the big businessmen who are hoarding a lot of food, medicinal materials and other necessities in their hands. They are all white gloves of nobles who have received the news. It's easy to find those merchants who are hoarding goods, but if you want to find those well-hidden grains and medicinal materials...

Mo Cheng even suspected that those guys were just front desk clerks and didn't even know where the [warehouse] was.

Not only Mo Cheng, but everyone else present knew these problems, but what could be done?

There is no use venting anger on those businessmen. As long as food and medicinal materials are still in their hands, any clerk can become the new boss the next day after capturing the businessman.

As for dealing with the nobles behind them?

If Misas really proposed this plan, he would have to strike at least two-thirds of the knights and nobles under his command. Most of the members of the knights themselves came from noble families.

Arresting a nobleman without conclusive evidence before committing a serious crime would only bring the undercurrents surging from the dark side to the bright side, and Aundair would start a war of division in advance.

At that time, whether they are swaying in the middle or on the opposite side, they will probably form an alliance to protect themselves and play the trick of "Qing Jun Side".

The current situation in the Principality of Aundair is a secret quarrel between the queen and the nobles who oppose her. On the surface, everyone is a good queen and nobles of the principality, working together to build a better country of Aundair.

Even Mo Cheng can see that with Aundair's current situation, he doesn't want to directly start a fight with [New Aundair], and all methods and means will only stop at a certain point.

So when his proposal was rejected, Mo Cheng simply left the room. He didn't know how to deal with this kind of problem appropriately.

After leaving the room, Mo Cheng walked out of the Albert House. After changing several figures, he walked on the road as a gangster.

Brinton Street, [Looking for the Golden Rose].

I don’t know whether it was luck or the building materials of [Looking for Golden Rose] were good enough. The earthquake did not collapse it, and the number of people coming and going at the gate of [Looking for Golden Rose] did not seem to be reduced due to the disaster.

But this scene made Mo Cheng suspicious. When the city under his feet was still in danger, there were still people trying to find happiness in the casino.

Or maybe there's more business operating here than just a casino. Goulard didn't do exactly what he wanted?

With questions in mind, Mo Cheng turned into a shadow and entered Goulard's office.

Since practicing Mo Cheng's adaptation of the Radiant Church's [Holy Flame Body Building Technique], although Gullard has not been able to master the Holy Light, he can still faintly perceive the Holy Light energy. A powerful person like Mo Cheng can In his eyes, the approach of a user of Holy Light without special concealment is no less than a high-power incandescent lamp turned on in front of his eyes.

So he prepared all the corresponding information and reports on his desk very early, and stood respectfully waiting aside.

"Priest, here is the most recent income and expenditure table."

Mo Cheng took it and flipped through it casually. He also calculated it secretly in his mind and found no mistakes. Although he doesn't like the work of reviewing reports and reconciliations, he also knows that to control an organization, you must first control the expenditure and income of the wallet.

Just by looking at it, Mo Cheng realized something was wrong. There was something wrong with the report.

Big question.

"Why is there so much income during this period?!"

Yes, it's not that Mo Cheng was mentally prepared for the loss. On the contrary, the income of [Looking for the Golden Rose] during these days is almost the same as the previous income when Steel Jaw was in control.

You know, [Looking for Golden Rose] directly shut down a business that generated a lot of revenue.

"It's the potion you gave us before."

"Potion..."

Mo Cheng thought about it for a moment and realized that he seemed to have given a potion to Gulade and asked him to see if he could sell it for some money as a source of funds.

But if Mo Cheng remembers correctly the [blood-burning potion], apart from its low cost, it seems to have no particularly obvious advantages.

Seeing Mo Cheng's confused look, Goulard knew that his boss was wondering why the potion was selling so well. He had no choice but to look around and after confirming that no one was around, he explained in a low voice: "Actually, the potion has changed its name now. , the market calls it [Endurance Potion]."

Stamina potion? Mo Cheng thought in his heart that [Blood Burning Potion] and [Endurance Potion] were not compatible at all.

I heard Goulard continue to explain: "We...well, mainly Dobin discovered that the blood-burning potion has another effect."

Dobbin, the former alchemist of the "Wind Erosion Key", was very poor at his craftsmanship. In addition to providing some healing potions with unknown side effects to the gang, he only provided some poisons.

Generally speaking, it is the kind of person who has some alchemy talent, but both talent and knowledge have come to an end and cannot continue to improve.

"He discovered that [blood-burning potion] applied to certain parts of the body can stimulate blood flow and maintain it for a long time."

Mo Cheng looked at Gullard strangely, and he heard some clues from that explanation.

"Then he changed the blood-burning potion into a pill version without knowing how."

"Wait a minute, Gullard." Mo Cheng looked into the other person's eyes and pushed up his glasses unnaturally, "Can I understand that the transformation has become a kind of... um... to keep men hard at certain moments? Something to measure?”

Mo Cheng finally figured out that someone had turned the medicine formula he gave into Viagra.

"Priest, those pills will fetch a lot of money."

Mo Cheng was silent as he looked at the report in his hand. The benefits brought by this thing were no less than what Steel Jaw earned from operating casinos and brothels, and he was certain that the current market share was far from reaching saturation.

"Gulard, how do you promote this thing?"

"This is thanks to those hard-working girls. Although they do not plan to continue their previous careers, they have familiar customers who can sell this thing. You know, because of their professional reasons, their sales volume is higher than Others are much more effective.”

"Those girls now are the salesmen of [Xunjin Rose Pharmacy]'s main products [Endurance Potion] and [Endurance Pills]."
