Link certainly knows that in a country like the Sakala Empire that treats people who have not entered the ranks of the nobility with an indifferent attitude, although these merchants have huge wealth, they have no guarantee. In the words of the head of the family just now

It has also been revealed that when they are preparing to turn these private business groups into state-run businesses this time, if the business group bosses do not cooperate, the armed forces of the Sakala Empire may take some "necessary" actions.

The meaning is that Link originally thought that the performance of these business group bosses was just pretending to protect themselves, but after listening to the family head’s comments about the size of the business group, especially the control

After describing the size of the trading group with the glowing sun stone, Link completely gave up on such an idea.

In the Sakala Empire, such an important resource as glowing sunstone would not be completely ignored. The exploration and mining of glowing sunstone, including post-processing and production, have a unique set of processes, especially

It is not easy to mine this stuff. It requires a lot of manpower, and the resources are distributed in the fiefdoms of several of the largest nobles. Therefore, from a very early time, it has been managed by the state, unified by the state.

Exploration, and then driving a large number of untouchables to mine, including processing and manufacturing, are also carried out by the unified manpower of the state. Those nobles who own this precious resource in their fiefdoms are just sitting back and enjoying the results, waiting to get a certain percentage of profits from it.

It's just that since the founding of the Sakala Empire in distant times, there has never been any special situation in this matter. Therefore, for a long time, the exploration, mining, and processing of this thing have been a series of tasks.

The process operates in this conventional way, and nothing has ever changed.

As for the merchant family that monopolizes the glowing sunstone, its ancestors were once among the untouchables who participated in the production of glowing sunstone products. Later, by chance, they became common people and formed a merchant group. At first, they only did some selling.

He worked, transported glowing sunstone products back and forth, and earned some profit by raising prices to merchants from other empires. But after his business group developed to a certain scale, this guy saw the terrible profits.

, so I started thinking about it and spent a lot of gold coins to open up the joints. The officials of the empire didn't understand much about the way this kind of business operation was done. They just looked at what they needed to do anyway.

If someone else does it for them, the things that should be handed over to the country will not be less at all. Not only do they not have to bear any responsibilities, but they can also get an additional considerable amount of wealth, so of course they agreed.

If the matter ends here, then the boss of this business group is just a shrewd businessman. He is very powerful. Since he took over the entire operation of Yinghuo Sunshi, he has consciously arranged for his own family members.

Go to learn all the key technical aspects, and then replace the personnel who originally handled these matters. After countless generations of hard work, the Sakala Empire finally began to prepare to nationalize the merchant group, and

It was only then that I discovered that the Yinghuo Sunstone had actually been monopolized by the business group. The entire key technology of the Yinghuo Sunstone from exploration, mining to post-processing and production had been firmly controlled by this group.

In the hands of the family members of the business group, and except for this family, no one in the entire Sakala Empire understands these things.

In Link's view, if the previous business groups did not dare to make money from the nobles of the Sakala Empire, or they had to lower their profile to please them because they lacked strength, then in the later stages, especially when the country wants to

When everything they had worked hard for was taken away and returned to the state, the bosses of these business groups still had the confidence to struggle.

After all, even if it is just the business group that monopolizes the glowing sunstone, if it really wants to get tough, then I am afraid that the Sakara Empire really does not dare to do anything to his family. How can we talk about the current mining and manufacturing of glowing sunstone?

The technology is completely in their hands. Even if the Sakara Empire arrests all their family members and tortures them to extract confessions, they may not be able to extract everything.

If someone with a certain key technology accidentally dies, it will be an unbearable disaster for the entire Sakara Empire.

In Link's view, with such capital, he can bargain with the high-ranking nobles of the Sakala Empire. At least it is not something that can be done with just a low-level noble. However, these businessmen

However, the bosses of the group all handed over their businesses without any struggle. It can only be said that they have been brainwashed thoroughly after staying in a hierarchical country like the Sakara Empire for a long time.

"But, Mr. Patriarch, if you say so, wouldn't the return of the business group to the state go smoothly this time?" Link felt that he was a little bit confused by this old fox again. He looked at the

A family head asked: "That should be of great help to the economy of the Sakala Empire, right? How could the output of glowing sunstone be affected? How could the country's financial situation be like this?
