Chapter 281: 1. The road to Rudes (7)

ps: Tomorrow is about to break out, today I will make up.
For 10 years, v.e has expanded its influence to every corner of Charlemagne.
The absolute monopoly in the commercial field is needless to say, tax, medical, postal, logistics, public construction-businesses and resources that should be controlled by the state and nobles are also based on the loan use destination clause in the Westfalen Loan Treaty Handed over to the ve company, at the end of the clause, it also indicates whether the ve company can manage it, and directly determines the amount of the loan.
Regardless of the misfortune that the foreign government harbored about Charlemagne, this kind of money-losing thing immediately attracted all kinds of murderous hatred. Except for the large and small nobles who have strong capital to invest in the ve company, they cannot get rid of the exclusiveness of the ve company. The middle- and lower-class knights who gained any benefits in their growth were full of disgust and anger. They were cut off from the financial path. They did not speak to a group of businessmen and themselves, interfering with the abnormal development of national politics. Few knights can maintain a rational attitude.
Since then, this monopoly has appeared on the list of knights most disgusted. The hatred index is directly behind the second-ranked Ross United, and it has the potential to surpass champion Albion. Intolerable knights, in the spirit of [successful must be settled in the outside], [sacred and glorious traditions must not be defiled], were connected in series, and then collectively wrote to His Majesty the King, requesting the punishment of illegal acts in the company’s operations, and proposing inscriptions in legal form It is forbidden for businessmen to intervene in national politics, to severely crack down on monopoly in the commercial field,
With a bit of a spicy black comedy atmosphere, the confrontation between the warriors and the monopoly consortium was officially opened six months after the signing of the "Westfalen Loan Treaty".
Severely cracking down on monopolies and ensuring healthy competition in the market are things that every government strives for, but only if the government maintains sufficient influence and is worried about repaying loans from various countries every year. Even if the king and the prime minister are aware of the activities of the company, they Taking an attitude of closing his eyes and closing his eyes, Li Lin, who was so appreciative of it, also restrained his subordinates from using large-caliber howitzers to solve the problem like a forced demolition.
The knights who do not appreciate, or say that the EQ is too low, do not see the delicate balance under the calm. They haven’t waited a long time for the upper level to respond. Their heads are hot and they are connected in series. At the same time, they launched a mass movement in 7 cities to expel the company’s merchants. Loot company property. During the incident, the situation was out of control. The resistance movement quickly evolved into a purposeless smashing and robbing in the crowd's restlessness. In addition to v.e's assets, ordinary merchants were also attacked. During this period, several incidents of robbery and carriages occurred.
The enthusiasm of the people who worry about the country is commendable. His Majesty Charles IV had further opinions on v.e’s unchecked behavior, but v.e helped his pockets swell. The taxation started to pick up, and this group of hot-headed guys dared to encourage the mob to attack the tax bureau.
No monarch can endure the power to use force against the central tax, nor can he tolerate the incitement of the people to make trouble. But this is a naked anti-institutional behavior. Can it be done without repression?
Suppression, resolute suppression!
With the will of His Majesty the King, the bureaucrats carrying v.e's hard money in his pocket quickly drafted a decree to mobilize the army to drive out and arrest the rioting crowds and some of the first evil elements. The low-key v.e grabbed a group of diehards and sent them to the laboratory operating table for execution with bamboo surgical instruments. It took three days to dismember these stupid people.
Since then, no one has dared to take the risk of retaliatory counterattack to inspire [Qingjun side], maintaining peace and stability for nearly 10 years.
Now it seems that the Cavaliers just stopped temporarily, waiting for the opportunity. The incident planned in this small manor is obviously not an isolated incident at this moment. After many years of anti-v.e forces dormant, it seems that finally [the right time] has come. To be continued.
