Taverns are dotted all over the streets and alleys of Mondstadt. Mondstadt people love to drink and enjoy drinking.
The special wine culture seems to have become their nature unconsciously.
In the tavern, Gray Snake and Uka were drinking and chatting happily.
At this time, Uka raised the wine glass high, then brought it to his mouth and drank a glass of yellow wine directly.
Uka felt very relieved and then he was very satisfied.
Gray Snake pretended to be embarrassed, and faced Uka and said hesitantly: "Uka... I actually received some news about the Sidman family. I don't know if I should tell it to listen."
Uka stretched out his hand and shook the empty glass filled with ice cubes, making a crisp sound.
"Well? If there's something wrong with Kadison, just tell him directly. There's nothing we can't say based on our relationship."
With his words, Gray Snake felt much more at ease, and he was afraid that you wouldn't fall for it.
Gray Snake nodded and put down the wine glass in his hand. He put his hand on the wine table with a serious look and listened to what he said.
"Actually, I accidentally discovered that some of the supporters of the Chamber of Commerce behind your Sidman family have betrayed you! And it is also the most important Lakenfeld Chamber of Commerce. They have been secretly helping the Gunnhild family."
Bang bang! !
The wine glass filled with ice cubes fell directly to the ground and broke apart!
Uka's mouth opened wide and his eyes widened when he heard Gray Snake's words. His face showed panic and disbelief.
Immediately, Uka slapped the table with his hand, swallowed a gulp of saliva and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ka, Kadison! Do you have any evidence to prove it? You can't say such things randomly!"
At this time, Uka realized that this was absolutely impossible! The Leckenfend Chamber of Commerce is an important supporting force for the Schidemann family. It has been a supporter of their reformists since taking over as the head of the Leckenfend family!
He, Uka, couldn't listen to the Gray Snake's words.
Gray Snake remained steady and serious, and said with a confident look: "Although I don't have exact evidence to prove it, according to my information, it comes from World Snake..."
"Diluc Leckenfend is following the clues left by the fools of the Solstice Kingdom, and seems to have discovered that the Sidman family has some ulterior secrets with them, and these... are exactly what the Gunnhild family wants. To know.”
"Whether my words are true or false, you must know the details better than me."
Hearing the words "Fools of Fools", Uka broke into cold sweat and turned pale. He already believed everything the Gray Snake said.
"Kadison! Thank you, you are indeed my best friend!! But I will go back immediately! You are also a lifelong friend of our Sidman family. On behalf of the Sidman family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
After saying that, Uka rushed out of the door in embarrassment and disappeared at high speed.
Gray Snake elegantly put on his slightly raised mask again, threw Mora on the table and left slowly.
The Lord's mission has been completed. Now let's see how the Sidman family does crazy things. I'm really looking forward to it.
The more infighting the Knights get, the happier we are.
Let the show begin, Sa, under the gaze of the World Serpent.
…
The next day, the Order's Legal Department passed a bill raising taxes on alcohol.
This instantly hit all chambers of commerce with alcohol as their core industry. For the sake of profit, of course, chambers of commerce raised the price of alcohol to maintain profits.
In an instant, the people of Mondstadt began to yell, why not scold the Knights? It is most likely due to hatred of the rich. Although some people have expressed their intention to accuse the Knights, most of the rhythm is still focused on the Chamber of Commerce.
If you pay more taxes, you won’t make any money?
For the sake of reputation, Chenxi Winery did not increase the price because of this. They have a big business and can make money just by selling volume. It is just a matter of more money and less money.
Conservative members did not oppose this bill. After all, this bill could bring nearly 2 billion in additional tax revenue to the Knights every year. They had no reason to disagree.
The Knights' expenses are also very high, especially during the period when the Wind Demon Dragon frequently attacked Mondstadt. Just for a series of operations such as repairing buildings and rescuing residents, this expense has almost reached close to 3 billion Mora.
The finances of the Knights are also under great pressure!
The implementation of this plan can alleviate the financial pressure, and some of the Knights' reserve funds can be used to relieve the pressure, and it will be supplemented when additional tax revenue arrives.
Now the Knights are facing great pressure from all aspects. As the acting leader, Qin can withstand such pressure, facing the internal troubles of the Reformists of the Knights, and the external troubles of the Fools and the Wind Demon Dragon.
It can also maintain the order and development of Mondstadt City. It must be said that it is an extremely outstanding existence in all aspects.
Bai Zhe really wanted to have an in-depth communication with him.
…
Dawn Winery.
Diluc frowned when he looked at the financial statements. The sales volume had increased but the income had decreased a lot. At the same time, he was still being spurned by his peers.
Everyone else is raising prices, but yours is not. And you are the leader in this industry. How do you expect others to survive? The Diluc family has a big business and can withstand it. Some ordinary wine merchants can't make much money at the previous prices.
Do you think they will increase prices?
It doesn’t matter if it goes up, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.
Rising, industry leaders take the lead! The criticism is naturally focused on the industry leaders.
If it doesn't rise, it will be scorned by its peers, and the scolding will continue.
Diluc sensed something was wrong. This was a carefully crafted conspiracy to target the Leckenfend Chamber of Commerce.
However, the Chamber of Commerce is on the side of the reformist Sidman family. The reformists have no reason to take action against the Chamber of Commerce. Without the support of their chamber of commerce, the reformists simply cannot stand in the Knights.
"Why would the Sidman family take actions that would undermine themselves..."
"It's really tricky..."
At this time, a maid trotted in with a pile of documents and shouted: "Sir, these are all urgent processing documents from various branch wineries. Because the wine in our winery is cheap at the market price, the supply of our wine exceeds the demand. All wineries The inventories have plummeted, and many wineries have applied for support.”
Diluc held his forehead and sighed helplessly. It looked like they had had a drink at Chenxi Winery.
At the celebration party before, I had a little conflict with Bai Zhe.
But at present, the important task of investigating the Fools and the Sidman family can only be left to him, although the other party verbally agreed to continue the investigation.
But conflicts occur, and concerns about them are inevitable.
Faced with the current situation at this moment, Diluc was helpless and could only find a way to deal with the current situation.
