I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 426: Great Purge!
As the first guide and businessman, Andre performed as badly now as he did then.

He set up a number of related industries on Vulcanogris, an island rich in volcanic ash fertilizer and minerals, hired local people to work and paid them salaries.

After the products are sent to O'Hara, they are purchased by people in the relevant industrial chain, thus completing the economic cycle.

Even on the main island, Andre also invested in some mining industries.

The 500,000 people that Sag obtained from the West Sea were also given to him first.

He is never stingy with rewards for his subordinates who have made contributions.

But this is the nature of businessmen. Individuals may be exceptions, but groups definitely not. They will definitely find ways to make more money.

Andre went from being well-behaved at first to now wanting to do anything for money.

Initially, he simply resold the goods to foreign merchants at a lower price, and increased his income by doing accounting and reporting losses, so that he did not have to pay taxes.

At that time, they were quite scared, afraid of being discovered by the master, but later, as Sag and others became busier and busier, they conquered more territories and had more and more supplies, and they received less attention.

Gradually, Andre became more and more daring. Simply reporting losses and making accounts were no longer enough for him. He began to drive up the prices of materials entering the island and told the people that this was the master's order, asking them to buy at prices 20% higher than the market price, up to 50%.

All this extra money became his income. In addition, he began to find excuses to cut people's salaries. Not by reducing them directly, but by imposing fines, and using Sage's name.

Out of respect for Sag, even if someone criticizes him in private, he won't show any emotion on the surface.

After all, no matter what, they can still fill their stomachs and maintain their lives, it's just that it's a little harder than usual. Everyone is saving money and can't afford many things.

It was because of this that they discovered it.

Sag really didn't pay enough attention to the island. In fact, he no longer knew how much territory and population there were, as Lily was in charge of them all.

And Lily couldn't pay attention to every island all the time. The clue of this incident came precisely because Lily discovered that the consumption and taxation were wrong.

They did not come here to replenish supplies with a fixed quota, but merchants and pirates would come here on the merchant ships to do business. Those merchants had been bribed by Andre, but the pirates had not.

It was Barnaby, who was stationed on the island, who felt something was wrong and called Hawkins, who reported it to Lily, who was just returning from Zou.

Lily discovered that the consumption power of Vulcanogris had decreased too much, resulting in a decrease in tax revenue, and then she checked.
Ok!

A bunch of moths!
The next step was simple. The demons would do it themselves. The bribed merchants would be skinned and executed in front of the people in Vulcanogris. As for Andre, he would be dealt with after Sarge returned.

"Andre, Andre"

Sager walked up to him, looked down at him, and sighed: "How much money does it take to be considered a lot? Are you not satisfied with the life here? Why do you want to resist me?"

"Master, I didn't betray you! You can't believe Lady Lily's one-sided words. I'm making money for you. I just want to give you a surprise, yes, a surprise!"

Andre began to panic. "Besides, sir, you have no evidence. How can you convict me without evidence?"

As soon as these words came out, Lily sneered even louder, Marika also covered her mouth and chuckled, and Renetia laughed even louder.

"Are you kidding me? Andre, have you forgotten who I am?"

Sager walked away from him and said with bared teeth: "I am a pirate, a pirate. What evidence do I need? As long as there is a clue, I can execute anyone, Andre." "You can't do that!"

Andre suddenly exploded, threw his arms wide and rushed forward, but as soon as he moved, he was held down by the demons.

"You can't do that! Norton Sugg! Do you know how much it cost me?!"

With red eyes, he yelled at Sager, "You don't understand anything! It's not you who made the contribution to this territory! It's us businessmen! We are the ones who spent a lot of money and energy and worked diligently!!"

"What's wrong with making some money? Those guys just need to have enough to eat, they live a good life! Why should they be paid so highly? We deserve more!"

"What do you mean everyone has to pay? Why not use slaves? Those guys from the West Sea will do their job well if they are fed. Why do we have to pay them?"

"As long as you follow our ideas and be a good pirate, we will do our best to make you the Pirate King and treat your family as the eternal ruler! Why don't you just enjoy yourself? Why do you care about the lives of those lowly people!"

"People on the sea are all the same! Even if you find us this time, some of us may have other ideas. You can kill us all, but don't you want to do business?! Sag! You are blocking our way!!"

The fierce roar made the banquet hall quiet for a moment.

Lily raised her eyebrows, tightened her grip on the hilt and was about to attack, but at this moment, a hand grabbed her wrist.

"interesting."

Sage stood next to Lily and laughed out loud: "The new sprout of capitalism? Will I be sent to the guillotine if it develops into this?"

He walked over, squatted in front of Andre, and just looked at him quietly.

Those black pupils gave Andre a lot of pressure under the gaze, and he lowered his head subconsciously.

"There's one thing you don't understand."

Sarge laughed softly: "If it is a normal world, the interaction between people may be able to achieve what you said. Because the flood trend cannot be stopped by human power, but..."

He showed an extremely malicious smile: "This place can be blocked by human power. Can't I kill them all? No, I can kill them all!"

He stood up and opened one hand. "The essence of doing business is nothing more than demand and buying low and selling high. Anyone knows how to do it. You won't let me live a good life? Then no one will live a good life!"

"I now"

Sager bared his white teeth at him, revealing a hideous smile that frightened Andre, and clenched his five fingers.

"Kill for you to see!"

"Lars, take him down, don't kill him yet, keep him till the end. Lily, from now on, mobilize my men, all the pirates stationed on the island, start to check, let them tell those merchants the reason, be strict, if they take one more Bailey, they will be hanged!"

"For those who violate the rules, all their property will be confiscated and redistributed! It just so happens that my disabled subordinates feel that the treatment they receive for just being stationed here is not enough, so we can redistribute it!"

It is nothing more than one class replacing another.
Killing a group of people couldn't be easier.
