I started an industrial revolution in another world

Chapter 9: Betraying national interests is punishable by death! [4/7]

“What on earth is King Guyuan going to do? He summoned us here in such a hurry.”

“Humph, Gu Yuan is probably at the end of his rope, maybe he needs us to donate to him.”

In the reception room of the palace, several businessmen of various shapes and sizes were sitting at the table. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a plump figure.

The people of this country were all very thin and haggard.

But they were very plump and free.

“Hehe, today Gu Yuan came to me to buy a large number of things. I usually keep those things at the bottom of my box and can’t sell them at all, but I didn’t expect that King Gu Yuan would buy them. I blackmailed him for a lot of money, a full 15,000 gold coins.”

A fat man with a beard on his face said with a smile.

There was no respect for King Gu Yuan in his words.

Gu Yuan is the king, but in their eyes, Los is about to end.

Although they are Los people, they are also well-known and successful businessmen in the surrounding countries. They make a lot of wealth by dumping Los’s domestic resources.

This time, they took the opportunity of the war to make a fortune. In their eyes, Los is about to perish, and they will make as much money as they can, and then run away. What does the survival of Los have to do with them?

In their eyes, there are no national boundaries, and only money is everything to them.

“Hahahaha.”

Hearing the fat bearded businessman say this, everyone else burst into laughter

“If Guyuan wants us to donate, that’s great, we can exchange the land for it.”

“Anyway, Los is almost finished now. Without our donation, Gu Yuan may not even be able to survive this month. I am not afraid that he will disagree. There is a Los state-owned textile factory outside the city, which is a good business.”

Another thin businessman with narrow eyes sneered.

“Yes, that’s right.”

The other merchants also nodded, thinking about it, and constantly calculating how much profit they could make from the dying Los Kingdom.

“Everyone, we are all Los people after all, so is it too much to do this?”

A middle-aged businessman pondered for a moment and said to the others

“Los Country, huh, the nobles are in power, do those people in Los Country treat people other than the nobles as human beings? Among so many countries around, I am afraid that the nobles in Los Country are the ones who exploit the civilians the most!”

“I hate those nobles!”

The fat bearded businessman had a gleam of hatred in his eyes.

”

But I just heard that King Los has abolished all the privileges of the nobles in Los, leaving only the honorary titles.

“What?!”

“How dare King Guyuan do this?!”

“He wants to die? ?”

When these words came out, the merchants around were all shocked.

Protecting the interests of the aristocracy has been an unwritten rule in the Luolilan Continent for many years.

Anyone who dares to touch the interests of the aristocracy will become the public enemy of the nobles in the Luolilan Continent.

And Guyuan dared to abolish all the privileges of the nobles in Los Country. Although it is not to abolish the nobility, it is tantamount to abolishing the nobility.

This time, I am afraid that some ancient aristocratic kingdoms will not be able to bear this breath and directly declare war on the Los Kingdom.

“Humph, in this situation, Los Country doesn’t need another opponent anymore.”

The fat bearded businessman sneered.

The other businessmen also suddenly realized that Los Country was almost doomed at this time, and one more opponent would be the same.

“”Just wait for Los to be destroyed. If we go to the Nord Kingdom to donate military expenses to King Rag IV at this time, do you think he will make me a viscount? If not, I can get a piece of land on the territory of Los and become a noble in the future, hahahaha.”

The thin businessman laughed.

The battle with the Nord Kingdom army took place in the morning, and they arrived in Los City in the afternoon. The battle was too fast, so they didn’t know that the main force of the Nord Kingdom had been destroyed by Los.

“You want to be a noble of the Nord Kingdom? Well, you will be able to go down and accompany Rag IV soon.

Suddenly, a chilling voice sounded, and all the merchants present shuddered.

All the merchants looked at the door, only to see Gu Yuan standing at the door in gorgeous clothes, sneering at them.

“Gu Yuan, don’t be so arrogant. I just said what I said. What can you do about it?”

The thin businessman’s narrow eyes flashed with disdain. He stood up and faced Gu Yuan.

“What can you, a king whose country is about to be destroyed, do to me?”

“Very good, are there any of you who think the same as him?”

Gu Yuan walked in, his dragon-like eyes glaring coldly around.

The other merchants didn’t say anything, because they instinctively felt something was wrong, but there was a hint of disapproval in their eyes.

They were just cautious and didn’t stand up like the thin merchant.

“The businessman Colliver Macaulay, secretly communicated with the Kingdom of Nord, betrayed the interests of the country, and is guilty of death!”

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice.

The German guards immediately rushed in with MP40 submachine guns.

“Don’t think you can be complacent just because you’ve temporarily repelled the Nord army! Gu Yuan, if you have the guts, try to touch me!”

“Do you think you can take me down with these ordinary people who are not even knights?”

The skinny businessman sneered and looked at the soldiers of the German Guard with disdain.

The four knight-like guards around him stepped forward and looked at Gu Yuan with fierce eyes.

Because he didn’t know the result of the battle that happened in the morning, the skinny businessman thought that the Nord army was only temporarily repelled.

After all, Gu Yuan only had more than a thousand soldiers, while the main force of the Nord Kingdom had more than 50,000 people.

There was no way they could be wiped out by Gu Yuan.

Moreover, the skinny businessman’s industries were mainly in other towns in Los, and those towns were still in the hands of the Nord Kingdom. Naturally, he was not afraid of Gu Yuan.

“”Everyone, I’ll give you a gift.”

Gu Yuan waved his hand, and a guard soldier immediately took a box and opened it in front of everyone.

The box opened slowly, and all the merchants’ eyes unconsciously moved over.

“Gu Yuan, you want to please with gifts….”

The thin businessman hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly saw clearly what was inside the box. At that moment, his whole body felt cold, and a chill ran straight from his tailbone to his heart!

“this….How is this possible?!”

The thin merchant’s eyes were filled with disbelief, and he trembled as he shouted.

In the box was the head of the Nord King, Rag IV!

Suddenly, all the merchants felt a chill in their hearts.

The Nord King was killed by Gu Yuan!

The Nord army….

“Yes, just this morning, the Nord army was completely wiped out by our army!”

“This is the head of the Nord King.”

Gu Yuan looked at them with a smile on his face.

But in their eyes, the smile on Gu Yuan’s face was terrifying no matter how they looked at it!

The next moment, a pistol suddenly appeared in Gu Yuan’s hand.
