Chapter 263 The Status of the Chamber of Commerce

When it comes to the implementation of the survey, Jiulisu's expression revealed a hint of anger. It is obvious that the survey's suppression of the Chamber of Commerce on the offshore islands is more serious than ordinary people imagine.

Generally speaking, when such a thing happens, the people can report it to the other two major parties, but because the IWC Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce composed of foreign businessmen, they are unwilling to meddle in other people's business.

It is obviously not a wise choice to offend the investigation and follow the forum for a group of foreigners.

"Taxes that are several times higher than ordinary people, and unreasonable rules and regulations are not the worst things..." Jiulisu said all the evil deeds as if he was contributing to the question. "The worst thing is that during this period, the new tax order has just been issued, and the form of taxes that need to be paid has changed from Mora to a cargo called [Crystalized Bone Marrow]."

"Before the promulgation of the decree, most merchants in the chamber of commerce had never heard of this kind of goods. Until an old merchant from Liyue identified it, it was the material he had transported to the Dongguo when he was young."

"Although I was reluctant, everyone went to search for [Crystalized Bone Marrow] everywhere and paid it as taxes. But later I found out that it was just a drinking poison to quench thirst. As the demand for tax payments became greater and greater, the price of [Crystalized Bone Marrow] was also rising..."

"Until later, only one merchant left the stock, and no one else could buy it. So the merchant continued to raise the price, but due to the pressure of the law, we had to buy it."

"The result of repeated vicious cycles is that taxes have exceeded our profits. If this continues, we may not even be able to eat enough."

"Actually, we have also tried to follow the communication laws with the determination, but who can hear the voices of us merchants in desperate situations in this land full of thunder? Alas... Fontaine, Fontaine, my hometown, I miss you so much..."

The words reveal resentment and helplessness towards the pursuit of the investigation, which simply interprets the three words "bullying" to the extreme.

But that was impossible, so Jiuli and others had to choose to give in again and again.

"It's really a bully." After listening to Jiulisu's story, Paimon immediately stood up for the merchants of the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce, "Ying, what do you think?"

"I think...that businessman should be strange." Ying began to make his own analysis through Jiulisu's narration. The general meaning is that the businessman who leads to the current situation is likely to be the one with crystallized bone marrow on his hands.

If nothing unexpected happens, the businessman should be a foreign businessman, but Jiulisu's situation is so difficult, why does he have inventory on his hands? So there must be something strange about this.

Maybe...there is something shameful deal between the merchant and the Investigation.

"President Kurisu, do you know that businessman?"

After deciding to find a breakthrough from the businessman, Ying began to ask Jiulixu for information.

"I know, in fact, he had contact with our Wanguo Chamber of Commerce before, but later he didn't know why, so he chose to cut off contact with us, and we didn't know where his source of goods came from."

Jiulisu's answer further strengthened Ying Xin's guess, and the businessman must have a problem.

"So, do you know where he is now? Maybe we can get some useful information from him."

Since there are already clues, the next step is to find the businessman. If he does have problems, he will definitely be caught.

Hearing this, Kurishu suddenly realized: "Yes, this is such a good idea. As people other than merchants and new foreigners on the island, he should relax his vigilance."

"Let me think about it. If I remember to find him, go to the tree by the sea in the residential area, which is where we usually connect with him."

"I understand, then leave it to us!"

He did it right away, and Ying and Paimon prepared to set off with high spirits, but Lin Yan stood there motionless.

"Hey? Lin Yan, why don't you leave?" Paimon asked at Lin Yan with a puzzled look.

Lin Yan's answer surprised her: "It should be enough to leave this kind of thing to you. As for me... I plan to go to the island to get familiar with the environment here."

"What! We are all thinking about how to solve the dilemma of the Chamber of Commerce in the World, but you are actually thinking about going to the island." Paimon said with dissatisfaction, "Well, Lin Yan, why do you become so unreliable when you encounter such troubles!"

Indeed, Lin Yan doesn't like troubles. Although Liyue helped many people solve the troubles, it was because he had to go. Now, if Ying and the others are there, he naturally doesn't have to do it himself.

First, he was not very interested in this, and second, because he really wanted to go to the island to see it, at least he had to understand the terrain structure here.

"Forget it, since you don't go, then don't go." Seeing Lin Yan's appearance that he didn't plan to change his mind, Paimon could only allow him, "Since that's the case, then Youla and Xiaobai should stay in the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce. I always feel that if you go there too many people, it will arouse the suspicion of the merchant."

"And, I believe Ying, she will definitely be able to solve this with me."

After hearing this, Youra hesitated for a while before choosing to agree.

She actually wanted to go there very much, but considering that Xiaobai might make trouble, it would be better to stay in the Chamber of Commerce. Although the investigation will often suppress Jiulixu and others, she will not cause trouble in the Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the safety of the two of them can be guaranteed if they stay here.

As for Lin Yan... Before Paimon allowed him, he turned around and left the place.

Walking on the streets of the island, Lin Yan found that there were many patrol soldiers around, and these should be those who were construed and followed.

Somehow, when they saw Lin Yan, a foreigner walking on the street, they actually cast bad eyes on him.

Although foreigners are not popular in rice wives, they are not rejected to this extent, right? Isn’t it okay to just take a walk on the street?

So, Lin Yan immediately went to a nearby clothing store to buy a dress of Rice Wife-style clothes.

Most of the hair of the Rice Wife is black, and it looks undoubtedly like that of the Liyue people. Therefore, after Lin Yan changed into the Rice Wife-style clothes, no one could tell that he was a foreigner.

In this way, the inspection will avoid causing trouble for him, and he can also do what he wants to do with peace of mind.

The outer island is not big, it is just part of the rice wife [Mingshen Island]. For the convenience of addressing, people often divide the outer island and Mingshen Island into pieces.

Walking through a luxurious mansion, Lin Yan finally came to the front of a seven-day statue of the god.

The seven-day statue of Duck Wife here is also a statue made in the image of the God of Thunder.
