I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 429: Classes are fixed, but people are mobile

“The statistics are out.”

Half a month later, in the main hall of the palace, Lily reported to Sage who was sitting on the throne.

"Of the 138 registered merchants, 93 have violated the rules. We have dealt with them all using the same methods used against the nobles. Sager, what about the remaining vacancies?"

Lily's words made Kalifa, who was in charge of recording, as well as Bruno and Kaku, who were also in charge of the investigation, all feel cold.

Sweat dripped down Bruno's forehead, and Kaku pressed down the brim of his hat to cover his eyes.

This investigation was led by Sag's personal guards, the Demon Clan, with their agents also assisting.

As for the purpose, the demons also need to learn. The agents of the World Government are not only good at killing, but are also good at collecting intelligence. They can provide assistance and let the demons learn some skills from the agents.

This investigation indeed revealed that more than half of the big businessmen were deceiving their subordinates and concealing the truth from their superiors, withholding wages from their subordinates and evading taxes from their superiors. As for stockpiling large amounts of weapons, that was not a big deal.

Sag never forbade others from owning weapons, nor did he forbid others from expanding guards or private soldiers, and some even simply formed pirate groups.

There is no way to stop this, just as others cannot be stopped from going out to sea, Sag cannot stop the people here from going out to sea.

After all, he himself is the biggest pirate leader.

Some guys became pirates, and because of their good qualifications, they simply joined Sage's pirate group.

Some guys formed their own pirate groups, broke away from O'Hara, and went out to sea.

But such people are only a minority after all, and Sag doesn't pay attention to them, and he pays even less attention to the storage of weapons.

After all, these people cannot buy in large quantities, and the price of the weapons they buy is similar to that on the market, which is different from the internal price of the channel.

Sag was not afraid that they would use some means to hoard weapons in large quantities and then find a way to sell them.

The internal channels are not enough, so where would a living Buddha come from who would buy his products at the original price?
Do you really think you don't have to pay taxes?

The other Sagers didn't care, but breaking the rules was something they would never tolerate.

This is also the reason why these three people looked unhappy.

There were only more than fifty people who were found out, and they were considered to have seriously violated the rules. Although they were not as rampant as Andre who wanted to win over the hearts of local pirates, they had done many other things.

After investigating the situation, these guys were sent to O'Hara to be executed as Blood Eagles.

That would be fine, but the rest of the group basically earned extra money through some means. They made a lot of small mistakes, but no big ones.

For example, when paying salaries, some people will deliberately deduct a little more. After all, some industries do not really allow for free coming and going, and there are basic rules to abide by. Otherwise, there will always be people who are lazy and come to work late or leave early, which is not acceptable.

Using this as an excuse, they can make more money. In addition, they also use forced buying and selling, such as privately making some things that are more symbolic than practical, and using their power as factory owners to force their subordinates to buy them, thereby making money.

Then it was no big deal, I just paid taxes as usual and only deducted about 20% from the salaries of my subordinates for miscellaneous reasons.

In the sea, this kind of person is called good!
But in Lily's case, because the standards for dealing with nobles were followed, all those who made minor mistakes were escorted to O'Hara together. No matter how they cried out for injustice or admitted their mistakes, they were all sentenced to the Blood Eagle punishment.

But their family members were not like that. It should be said that all those who were related by blood were killed without leaving a single one!
More cruel than the world government!
If they were really that cruel, Franky would not have been alive when they sneaked into Water Seven City, let alone leaving no one related to him alive.

They participated in the purge personally, and after the cleansing, they finally saw what absolute domination meant.

Although they had made some preparations before, including during the handover, Gabra also warned them to listen to Sage when necessary and not to take it too seriously. So that's what he meant.

The three of them looked at each other, then looked at Lily, and lowered their heads in silence. From her, they felt a sense of oppression similar to that of the Five Elders.
It's all so cruel!
Listening to Lily's question, Sager thought for a moment and said, "Let's bid."

"Put aside half of the quota for internal bidding, giving priority to those who have made contributions, and see who wants to develop in this direction. The remaining half of the quota will be split in half, one half for the public, and the other half for those who abide by the rules."

Sarge smiled and said, "Look, isn't the reward here? Those who don't follow the rules will be punished with death, and those who follow the rules will be rewarded without hesitation."

As for how many people to kill, just like Sager didn't care when Lily purged the nobles, he didn't care this time either.

Yes, I am neither against nor in agreement, I just don’t care.

If something is blocking your way, just kick it away. Who cares what happens to the stone?
"Anyway, you've all been working hard during this period. There will be a party later. Kalifa, Bruno, and Kaku, the three of you need to attend."

Sager laughed and said, "Now that you've finished your work, you should relax for a while!"

The performance of these three is calmer than that of Gabra and his companions. They are the type who can endure the test of time and will not make mistakes.

Some relevant evidence was found by the three of them when they applied for the job and conducted in-depth investigations locally.

Gabra and his men were different. In the previous operation to purge the nobles, they never thought of infiltrating these two words. They would be destroyed by the owl anyway, so they simply went to look for evidence openly and kill them when they found them.

Different types, two uses, both good.

The order was passed on after a short while.

Half of the industrial and commodity trading is placed among all the pirates, but they are mainly facing those guys stationed on the islands who have no ambitions themselves and just want to live a peaceful life, but have made contributions in their pirate careers.

For example, Barnaby doesn't like being a pirate, but on the sea, pirates are the unrestrained mainstream, especially in the New World.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took over the industries on the island and transformed himself from a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million to a businessman.

As for the reward
Who cares about this in the new world?

He didn't plan to do business himself. He just needed to own the industry on this island and transport supplies to the main island. He didn't need to deal with other problems himself. He just needed to train someone.

Andrei wasn't the only one with relatives; he also had...
In Vulcano Grace, Barnaby occupied Andre's former estate and made it his own private residence.

"Listen up, brother."

At this moment, he was speaking to his brother in an extremely solemn tone:

"I know you want to make a career. Now that the opportunity has come, I will leave the external transactions to you. But there is one thing you must remember: you must abide by the rules!"

"If you don't follow the rules, even if you are my own brother, if anything goes wrong, I will kill your wife and children first, and then kill you!"

Barnaby said in a deep voice, "Remember this forever. It's best to write it down and recite it every day! Lord Sarge's rules must never be broken!"

His younger brother also nodded heavily and said, "Brother, I will not betray Lord Sager!"

"Yes, this is the best! You have to understand that I have achieved what I have today not because I am so great, but because Lord Sarge chose me, that's all."

As for class, as time goes by, a group of people leave and a group of people come and go, because it does exist, and as long as there is demand, it will never disappear.

But people can always replace someone else to do it.

No impact at all.
