I wish you all a good mood every day Vyas, Lin Qi jumped into a carriage and pressed his hands vigorously to the people and nobles who were watching around.
"Quiet, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, quiet" Glancing at the tens of thousands of onlookers around, Lin Qi nodded to everyone with a smile: "Old Wanen is very happy, there are so many beautiful young ladies and ladies, so many handsome young masters and gentlemen to welcome the Longshan family back to Vias, the great commercial capital of Vias."
Those nobles who had already had a tacit understanding with Lin Qi suddenly burst out laughing, they leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, foaming at the mouth with laughter, and laughing so much that their big teeth were exposed.
And those who didn't know why were giggling and laughing, and some enthusiastic people even whistled and shrill whistles.
For the people of Vyas, they lived in a commercial environment, and they did not have the same reverence for royalty as the Gallic Empire or the Harran Empire, and there was no royal family in Vyas.
The people of Vyas are in awe of only two things: the church and the gold The church controls the soul, while gold controls the soul and the body Aside from the church and the gold, the people of Vyas didn't particularly care about the nobility.
Standing on the top of the carriage and giving a loud speech was a common occurrence in Vias, especially when the nobles wanted to elect an Archon or other office, they would perform here a few times.
So when they saw Lin Qi jump into the carriage, they just applauded out of habit, expecting to hear some voices that were different from those of the other nobles.
"Longshan Family" Lin Qi said loudly: "Everyone knows, the Longshan Family is doing a good job in the north" A low exclamation sounded from all sides, everyone knew the fame of the Longshan family, not only did it do a good job, it was absolutely unbelievable results and achievements, especially this ordinary-looking old man standing in the carriage, he killed more than a hundred demigods of different races by himself.
Of course, ordinary people can't understand what the concept of a demigod is, but they know that a celestial warrior can obtain the title of honorary earl in any country, and a celestial warrior can easily defeat an army of hundreds of people, but that demigod is said to be several times more powerful than a celestial warrior, so a person who can kill more than a hundred demigods in one battle is very remarkable.
"Therefore, the Longshan family is also a little famous in Vias," Lin Qi said very unceremoniously: "I'm here today, you can see, the strength of the Longshan family is also good, we have dragon knights, dragon mages, a large scale of dragon knights, and a huge army of earth dragoons.
We, the Longshan family, have enough strength to maintain some things that should be maintained."
"For example, the business order of Vyas, this is something that our Longshan family must maintain" "We feel that the existing taxes of the Vias Business Federation are very reasonable, and we will never allow anyone to increase the additional tax of even one copper in any name.
Whatever the name, whatever the pretext, whatever the reason, Vyas is a country of free commerce, and the ruling government has received enough money from Vyas's people."
"The ruling government has received enough tax revenue, so they don't deserve more" "It doesn't make sense to collect it from the nobility or from the people" Lin Qi nodded to the people around him, and the applause and cheers like a tsunami rang out from all directions.
Ordinary people didn't know what Lin Qi meant by his words, they didn't know what Lin Qi meant by his words, and they didn't know that the ruling government was preparing to form a large standing army, and the military salary of this standing army would be paid by additional taxes.
And the nobles knew what Lin Qi meant by these words, so they supported Lin Qi with the most surging enthusiasm.
The nobles are greedy, and the nobles who are businessmen are even more mercenary, they are too late to evade taxes, and if you want to raise taxes on the nobles, then you are the enemy of all the nobles And Lin Qi said that he wanted to maintain the current tax ratio, so he had the support of the nobles.
"In addition, Vyas needs a stronger leader" Lin Qi pressed his hands, and there was silence all around, Lin Qi shouted: "Vyas needs a stronger leader" "Vias should have a greater say in continental affairs, and Vias's army should contribute more to the mainland's resistance to alien races, and Vias's navy...
I must say that I am disappointed in the current Vyas Navy" "My expectation is that in the future, in the near future, the navy of Vyas will run rampant on the seas, our merchant ships will be unimpeded on the seas, whoever sees our flag will be turned away, and our merchant ships will be under the protection of our powerful navy, transporting goods from all continents to Vyas and dumping our goods on all continents" Lin Qi's words were very straightforward and naked, and he glanced at all the nobles and merchants present: "I hope you will think carefully about my words, what do you need?"
Gold coins, almost all of them had the same thought in their hearts, if the people of Vyas didn't need gold, what would they need gold, gold, gold coins, this is the only thought in the hearts of all the people of the Vyas Commercial Federation, whether nobles or commoners.
And although Lin Qi was just a few simple words, it made everyone think of a lot.
Vias's naval fleet is rampant in various seas, wherever Vias's naval flag goes, pirates flee from the wind, and the merchants' fleets can sail safely on the ocean, without the harassment of pirates, the profits of the merchants can at least skyrocket several times And Vias was able to gain a greater say on the mainland The people of Vyas don't care about bullshit and the like, they only know that if Vyas can really become a country that promises its word, then their goods will be able to enter the markets of other countries more easily.
It's as simple as that, if Vyas can truly become a power on a par with the Gallic Empire, then the merchants of Vyas will be able to do their business easily.
The nobles looked at Lin Qi and nodded, their smiles almost oozing out of every pore.
Although the people still don't know what Lin Qi's two strange words mean, they have a deep impression of the Longshan family, and the people of Vyas are very good at grabbing the key points from the fragmentary information, and grasping the key points related to gold coins.
If Lin Qi's two paragraphs seem to be out of tune, the focus in them is very clear If the Yongsan family holds the power of Vias, then the Yongsan family will not increase the tax revenue If the Yongsan family holds the power of Vyas, then everyone's business will be easier and the income will be high Very good, with these two promises, if the Longshan family can really be realized, these people of Vyas will follow the Longshan family like a king.
For the sake of profit, for the sake of gold, this group of people of Vyas did everything to kill people and set fires, and there was nothing they did not dare to do.
Lin Qi jumped out of the carriage, and then a large group of nobles rushed up, they solemnly shook hands and hugged Lin Qi, and then when they were making a face-to-face salute, they leaned into Lin Qi's ear and whispered praise that Lin Qi's words were very in line with their hearts.
The crowd applauded enthusiastically, and except for a few of the more intelligent businessmen, the rest of the ordinary people still didn't see what was going on here.
But this did not prevent them from joining in the fun, they loudly praised the dozens of strong men transformed into dragons were so powerful and majestic, and loudly sighed that the flying dragon knights in the sky were so mighty and extraordinary.
At this moment, the coquettish Alda strode over with a hundred warriors who had opened the aura of the battle crest.
The halo of light rolled in the sky, and the magic elements drove a large area of light to envelop all directions, suddenly becoming bizarre and magnificent, and for a time it was like entering the world of legendary magic elves.
"Wow" Tens of thousands of exclamations sounded at the same time, whether they were knowledgeable or pretending to be knowledgeable, everyone looked at the hundred warriors with a war-clay aura with a diameter ranging from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, and they all admired the strength of the Longshan family.
When they learned the terrifying meaning of this war paint aura from their henchmen, these nobles became more and more respectful and even a little frightened towards Lin Qi and Arda.
A hundred powerhouses who are likely to be demigods are merely the close guards of the Earl of Longshan Great goddess of wealth, how many gold does this guy have to throw away to hire so many such powerful guards All the nobles of the Vyas Commercial Federation, which is based on commerce, put all their energy into earning huge amounts of gold coins, they do not pay much attention to their own cultivation, and they are convinced that they can obtain everything with gold coins.
Therefore, most of the powerhouses of their family were hired, and many of them had saint master-level offerings, and even a very small number of families had demigod-level worship elders.
But like the Longshan family, showing off a hundred demigods in a grand manner is really amazing Soon, when Alda entered the city, he sprinkled 500,000 gold coins and hired people to build barracks, and the small citizens nearby exclaimed at the same time, what a rich family this is, for a temporary camp can throw hundreds of thousands of gold coins, this is too rich:
