Chapter 258 Nobles are worse than pirates

at noon.

Nuo Qi Gao stretched out her arms, but missed the opportunity.

She opened her eyes suddenly and saw only an empty bed.

"Let's go!" Nuo Qigao was confused for a while, then sighed again, feeling angry, but not much.

There are so many people in this world who abandon their wives and children and go to sea to become pirates that they don’t even know whether this behavior affects the culture or whether the culture of this world causes this behavior to occur.

Although he is a reporter and not a pirate, they are both professions that require going to sea, so there is no difference.

Nuo Qigao only hoped that this night of getting along would make her pregnant with a child or something, so that she could have something to think about in her future life.

But wait. . . . .

Why is it so cool in this room? Isn't it summer?

However, the space of the "World Economic Daily" is limited. Only 1‰ of these news reports can be published in the newspaper, and among these 1‰ reports, there is a 1/200 chance of making the headlines.

Nokigao stood up suddenly and found that he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He had felt some pain in his lower body last night, but now he couldn't feel it at all.

In its early years, the World Economic Times was an economic newspaper, so it had a column to evaluate the economy. Later, although the newspaper changed its direction under the leadership of Morgans, the column was still retained, but this column was no longer just for Evaluation is no longer economical, but everything is evaluated.

In other words, out of 200000 reporters, only one can make the headlines.

But now, not only are the tattoos on my arms gone, but the ones on my collarbone are also gone!
"Aha!" Nokigao almost laughed out loud. What girl doesn't love beauty, and this world is not the kind of world where tattoos are popular at all. Even for pirates, except for the logo of a pirate group, they can't be seen anywhere else. There will be tattoos.

How low is the probability?

This kind of thing may not seem obvious to outsiders, but Morgans, as a journalist, knows it all too well.

Because of the guaranteed salary, the news covered by the contracted reporters can only be submitted to the World Economic News.

The third one is the columnist.

Cooperative reporters are freelance reporters. The news they cover can be handed over to other newspapers in addition to the World Economic News.

"Oh, hello, hello!" The creature stretched out its wings: "I am Morgans, the editor-in-chief of "World Economic News"!"

Now she finds out that her tattoo is gone, of course she will be happy!

Column writers have extremely high fees and great influence, but the corresponding requirements for writers are also very high. At least you must have something to say and not talk nonsense.

"Nuo Qigao, my girlfriend!" Ning Yuan introduced.

The first one is a contracted reporter from the World Economic News. This type of reporter has a guaranteed salary, but it is not much. Their main income comes from the huge commission they receive after covering news and publishing it in the newspaper.

Didn't expect such a big shot to appear in his home?
So, if he is a big shot, what about Ning Yuan?

If a reporter can often encounter big events and make headlines every day, his income will definitely not be low.

For example, some countries, kingdom princesses, pirates, and even the navy have comments.

Even though Ning Yuan knew the plot and knew that following Luffy could get big news, Luffy didn't cause trouble very often, and the only one that made headlines was the Judiciary Island incident.

Therefore, most of the contracted reporters live on a minimum salary. If you want to make a lot of money through this, it is no different from dreaming.

She put on jeans and a tank top, eh?

Then there are ice cubes placed everywhere around the room!
"Where did the ice cubes come from?" Nuo Qigao looked confused and bent down to grab it. The ice was cold.

Previously, a columnist wrote an article evaluating the world's beauties and listed Empress Boya Hancock at the first place. From then on, Hancock's title of the most beautiful woman in the world was born.

The second one is a cooperative reporter.

Wait, I have a tattoo!
Because Nami thought her tattoos were ugly, Nokiko also got tattoos on her arms.

Morgans looked at the three contracts in front of him.

Not only are both arms tattooed, but the chain bones are also tattooed.

After saying that, he entered the kitchen, waited for tea, and simply left the room, leaving the living room for the two of them to talk.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw ice cubes everywhere not only in the bedroom, but also in the living room.

In the living room, Morgans took a sip of tea and said, "So Mr. Ning, what kind of identity do you want to adopt to cooperate with us?"

Looking at his smooth arms, Nokigao was confused again.

It was obvious to Morgans that Ning Yuan had clear logic, excellent writing skills, and quite independent thinking, making him very suitable to be a columnist.

"World Economic Daily" has a large number of contracted reporters distributed all over the world. These reporters record a huge amount of news every day.

"Ah, hello, hello!" As a country girl, to her, the mayor of the town is already a great figure. The editor-in-chief of "World Economic News"? That is even more of a big shot among big shots!

The previous interview seemed like a question-and-answer session, but in fact the mouse was completely led by Ning Yuan.

"What is this?" The creature looked up blankly.

"Obviously yesterday I said that I was not a reporter and it was my first time to submit an article. The editor-in-chief came to my door the next day. How could such a thing happen?" Noqigao felt that he had been deceived by Ning Yuan again. He was clearly a A big reporter, the kind of big reporter whose editor-in-chief would personally come to ask for manuscripts!
Muttering in her heart, Nuo Qi said loudly: "I'll give you a cup of tea!"

But this is simply not realistic.

It’s really an ice cube!

"Column writers need to contribute at least once a week." Ning Yuan looked at the requirements in the contract: "You want to evaluate the more controversial content of the week and select the best?"

In the center of the living room, the table that was originally used to place sundries was cleared. There were two chairs on both sides of the table. Ning Yuan was sitting on one of them, and sitting on the other side was a person who looked like a bird but had long hair. Creature with human face.

Morgans nodded: "How about it? Although your manuscript may not be published, at least the probability of being published is much easier than making the headlines. And with your ability, I don't think this is a problem for you!"

The newspaper bird next to Morgans nodded wildly, indicating that yes, yes, just sign this!
If Ning Yuan becomes a contracted reporter, as a liaison bird, he will still have to fly back and forth every day.

But if Ning Yuan becomes a columnist, he only needs to fly back and forth once a week.

"This is really not a problem for me, but what if I write a lot of articles?" Ning Yuan asked.

"One article a day?" Morgans said generously: "Don't worry, as long as the quality is up to standard, we will post it every day!"

"What about ten articles a day?" Ning Yuan asked again.

"Ah!" Morgans was speechless: "This is a bit too much. The number of columns in newspapers is limited. Even if you write some, we don't have room to publish them! But you can rest assured that if the quality of your writing is indeed If it’s good, I can make room for you in other columns!”

Ning Yuan nodded and said that Morgans's reputation as the king of news was not in vain.

At least he didn't expect that in order to sign a reporter, Morgans would actually come to the door in person.

It stands to reason that you are the only newspaper bird in the world, and you are engaged in a monopoly business. You can have a higher profile, but Morgans can be a courteous corporal.

Such a birdman, if he doesn't succeed, who will succeed?
"Then sign this!" Ning Yuan took over the columnist's contract and wrote down his name and pen name, eh?

"Do you still use the name Zhiyuan?" Morgans said: "I suggest you make some distinction between your pen name and your real name, otherwise it will be easy for people to associate it with the same person. Sometimes this columnist is still very offended. Damn it, I had an author criticizing the World Government in a column before, because his pen name was similar to his real name, so he was found by the World Government!”

"Then what?" Ning Yuan asked.

"He has been out of contact for more than two years!" Morgans spread his hands: "I will never expose the true information of the contracted author, but I can't stand the fact that there are many spies in the World Government, and those authors have no strength, and they like to drink. Yes, reveal your identity.”

"I advise you, if it is not necessary, it is best not to reveal your identity in a crowded place such as a tavern. You have no idea which one of them will betray you!"

"I understand!" Ning Yuan nodded: "Thank you editor-in-chief for reminding me!"

"Oh, you're welcome, we are mutually beneficial!" Morgans smiled, then put away the contract: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

"No rush!" Ning Yuan took out a manuscript and handed it to Morgans: "Let's take a look at this by the way!"

"Any more news?" Morgans frowned: "I can tell you, no matter how big something happens in this remote country, it will not be published in the World Economic News, unless there is some follow-up to the evil dragon case. Eh?"

He was shocked to find that this manuscript was not news, but a discussion.

This is an article that just fits the identity of the columnist. "How did you know that I would give you this kind of contract as a columnist?" Morgans asked in surprise: "Can you guess this?"

Ning Yuan shook his head: "How could I have guessed this, but I just believe that if you have the strength to travel all over the world, as long as I write well, don't call me a reporter, even if I am a beggar, you will publish my article !”

"You are wrong!" Morgans shook his head: "There are many capable people, but there are very few who take the lead. This is because there is a lack of bosses like me who can employ people and dare to employ people!"

"If you submit your article to Donghai Daily or World Government Newspaper, do you think they will report it?"

Ning Yuan nodded: "Yes, yes, boss Morgans is the best. How about I write another article to praise you?"

"Hehehe..." Morgans smiled shyly: "There are so many words. I just want to read your manuscript. Can you write it before I finish reading it?"

"Of course!" Ning Yuan nodded.

"Okay, let me read, you write!" Morgans spread out the manuscript and read the title first: "Thinking about the tax issues of the major kingdoms from the protection fee policy implemented by the evil dragon!"

"Huh?" Morgans became interested and continued reading.

Then the first sentence of the article gave Morgans a big one.

Perhaps no one would have thought that the villagers under the rule of the evil dragon were much happier than the villagers under the rule of the nobles!

"Huh?" Everyone in Morgans was dumbfounded. No, this is true. Brother, are you talking nonsense?

Look down again.

After the evil dragon occupied Cocosia and surrounding villages and towns, it formulated a charging plan called protection fee, which is actually money to buy life. The fee amount is 10 beli per year for adults and 5 beri per year for children!
Looking at this alone, the Dragon Pirates can be said to be extremely evil.

But except for the life money, the Dragon Pirates have no requirements for major villages and towns. Firstly, they do not collect commercial tax, secondly, they do not collect agricultural tax, thirdly, they do not collect poll tax, and fourthly, they do not collect heavenly gold. There is no loss in tax revenue. Without layers of exploitation, villagers no longer need to bribe officials, and navy soldiers and local police officers can no longer take advantage of villagers.

Before the evil dragon came, the local villagers had been cultivating oranges for five or six years, but they could not even afford the 100,000 beli to buy their lives. However, after the evil dragon left, every family in the village had enough money, and everyone could afford to buy it. Everyone has money in their wallets, and the delicacies used to entertain the Straw Hat Pirates are laid out from the beginning of the village to the end of the village!
"Huh?" Morgans' eyes widened and he was a little confused.

He is the editor-in-chief of "World Economic News". Even though the newspaper has transformed, he still understands economic issues.

It is not difficult to see from this article that in the ten years since the evil dragon has ruled Cocosia, the economy of Cocosia Village has not only not deteriorated, but has actually improved?
real or fake?

Morgans scratched his head and suddenly saw Nokigao who was watering the orange tree outside.

He simply got up and came to the window and asked, "This, uh!"

"Nogigo!"

"Oh, Nokigao!" Morgans asked: "I heard that the evil dragon collects protection fees here, one hundred thousand beli for adults and fifty thousand for children. Is it true?"

"Yes!" As soon as he mentioned the evil dragon, Nuo Qigao's face immediately darkened: "My mother was killed by the evil dragon because she couldn't pay the money. Why, do you think Mr. Ning Yuan is lying? ?”

She thought Ning Yuan told Morgans what happened here and Morgans didn't believe it.

"No, no!" Morgans shook his head and asked: "Then, is the money collected once a month or once a year?"

"Of course it's a year, how could it be a month!" Nuo Qigao rolled his eyes: "If it's a month, no one can afford it!"

In fact, if you calculate this, you will know that Nami used 100 million to buy life-saving money for the whole village.

If the life-saving money is collected once a month, then 1000 villagers will receive 1 million a month. How is it possible that million can buy life-saving money for the entire village.

Moreover, a newspaper only costs 50 beli. If newspapers are used as the equivalent, 10 beli can only buy 2000 newspapers.

Guining's newspaper costs 2 yuan per copy, which means 10 beli = 4000 yuan Ning coins!
What is the concept of paying 4000 yuan a month to buy a life? Let alone Guining, the citizens of the developed countries next door cannot afford this money, let alone pay it for ten years!

"Are there any other places in your village that require payment?" Morgans asked again.

"No more!" Noqigao said: "There were tax collectors in the town who came to collect money before, but they were all beaten to death by the evil dragons!"

At this point, Noqigao became even more angry: "They not only killed the tax official, but also massacred the entire town next door!"

Morgans didn't care about this kind of thing. As the editor-in-chief of the World Economic News, he heard countless news about pirates massacring towns every day. This kind of thing did not cause any fluctuations in his expression.

He was even more curious: "In your opinion, in the ten years since the evil dragon ruled the village, has your life gotten better or worse?"

"Of course it's gone bad, eh?" Nokigao blinked, a little confused.

Subjectively, of course she believed that the evil dragon was a bad guy. After the bad guy arrived, her life must have changed for the worse!
But if compared with before.
Nokigao was at a loss.

Because her life is actually much better than before!
Bellemere worked so hard in the past, but could not afford to raise his two daughters. He could not even buy new clothes. Nami often had to wear high-heeled shoes.

But after the arrival of the evil dragon, it was still the same orange grove, with a little girl named Nokigao supporting the family alone, and life got better.

Is it because there are two less people in the family and the expenses are reduced?

With my current financial resources, I can afford to raise two more daughters!

Does that mean I'm stronger than Bellemere?

How is this possible? I don’t understand anything. Bellemere was in the navy after all!
After thinking about it, Nuo Qigao suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. It seemed that her good life now was really brought about by an evil dragon?

"No, it's impossible, how is this possible!" Noqigao immediately shook his head: "It must be because of other difficulties. Yes, it must be that Nami and I were still young at that time and were not sensible at all, which caused a lot of trouble to the family. Big trouble!"

Even if I haven't caused trouble, Nami must have caused it. For example, Nami can steal things. Maybe the family's money has been compensated by Bellemere to others?
It must be so, that’s right!
She forgot that Bellemere had been in the navy, not to mention the face she had to give to the villagers. Bellemere had a navy at the beginning, and should have savings after retiring, but in the period of the evil dragon, the family was still too poor to pay for life. .

A warm hand suddenly pulled Nokigao into his arms.

Nuo Qigao looked up in surprise and realized it was Ning Yuan.

"Woo!" Noqigao threw himself directly into Ning Yuan's arms, and then cried: "Have we always misunderstood the evil dragon? But he clearly killed Bellemere!"

"No misunderstanding!" Ning Yuan said calmly: "The evil dragon deserves to die!"

"But he has obviously made our lives better!" Nuo Qigao whispered.

"Your life should be like this!" Ning Yuan said softly: "It's not the evil dragon that makes your life better, but the tax and officials in the town that made your life worse!"

Patting Nuo Qigao's shoulder, Ning Yuan comforted him: "So don't worry about the evil dragon of hatred. It is impossible for a bad person to be whitewashed by another even worse person."

"listen..".

"What?" Ning Yuan asked.

"I don't understand!" Nuo Qigao muttered in a low voice.

"Then I'll tell you slowly later!" Ning Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Nuo Qi nodded solemnly, and then hugged Ning Yuan.

At this moment, she realized as never before that she really had good vision.

The person I'm looking for seems to be much better than you, sister!

Morgans next to him curled his lips and spread dog food in front of me, tsk tsk!

I'm actually a little envious!
However, how come this child's thoughts are so similar to that group of people!

It even seems to be more powerful than them, because the revolutionary army has been clamoring to overthrow the world government all day long, but they can't make the point.

As for Ning Yuan, as soon as he made a move, he was like Wang Zha: The rule of your nobles is worse than that of pirates.

He couldn't really be from the revolutionary army, could he? He was lurking in our "World Economic News"?
but. .

Morgans picked up the second manuscript that Ning Yuan had just finished writing but the ink was not yet dry, and then sighed.

The literary talent is so good, and the flattery makes me feel itchy.

Forget it, never mind, what kind of revolutionary army? I do not understand!
And having someone from the revolutionary army in the newspaper office is not necessarily a bad thing.

If they are causing trouble over there, I can still get first-hand information here!
