"Watching and helping each other means that when we are in danger, other people have to send troops to support us, right? Isn't it always like this in the past?"

Chi Nan waved his hand: "It used to be just this statement. In fact, everyone knows that the lords have conflicts with each other. They often need to negotiate the conditions before sending troops. Some even add insult to injury."

Everyone nodded, and Chi Nan continued: "So our mutual help means that as long as we encounter trouble, others must help. For the price we have to pay, we can first draw up a charter, and then follow this charter in the future. Help first, Then pay. If anyone defaults on the payment, he will be kicked out of this alliance."

This method is so good that even Mo Cha can't tell if it's wrong: "We'll discuss the charter later. We need to study the details. And the scope of this help, in addition to sending troops, it's best to expand it."

"Then what does the Business Alliance mean? Do you want to jointly form a caravan?"

Chi Nan shook his head: "Of course not. Of course the caravans are still organized by themselves, but all our territories must be open to other caravans and the safety of other caravans must be protected so that we can exchange what we need."

"What's the difference? It was like this before. It's just a caravan. As long as there are suitable things, let them pass."

Chi Nan smiled: "Of course it's not just that. In the past, caravans passing through other people's territories were levied heavy taxes, which made the caravans unwilling to go too far, so some goods from far away places could not be sold. Too far."

"What I mean is that in the future, as long as the caravans passing between our various territories are the alliance's own caravans, they will not be charged for passing fees and will pass free of charge. Transaction taxes will also be reduced, and the prices of various goods will be reduced. We must also be unified.”

Hearing this, everyone frowned. How can this be done without collecting tolls? This is a very large amount of income.

Chi Nan smiled: "If you don't collect tolls, then there will be a lot of caravans passing through. When they pass through, they will naturally need to eat and drink, and you can always earn these. Besides, your own caravans will pass through other people's caravans." There are also no tolls in the territory, so you can naturally earn more. This is the best way to promote communication."

"Although I don't understand what you mean, it does sound interesting. We can sign an agreement first. If it works, then we will follow this method. If it doesn't work, we will have to get rid of this method at all costs. .”

Hearing Mocha's words, Chi Nan nodded: "Okay, let's start with the conquest of Remas and do it for one year. If it doesn't work after one year, then we won't use this method."

"One year is too long, let's give it half a year of testing time." Mocha said immediately.

Chi Nan nodded: "No problem, that's it." Chi Nan sneered in his heart, does it still take half a year? Two months at most. After you taste the benefits, you will know how useful this method is.

Commercial circulation represents the large circulation of funds, making more money and making it easier to obtain various items and resources. Chi Nan wanted to set an example and let more people join in.

At that time, although I made a lot of money, I was not the only one who made a lot of money. Others could also help me share the pressure. If you can come up with a few goods that they can't bear to give up, even if the royal family wants to touch you, they will have to think carefully, otherwise it will cause a backlash from many nobles.

Therefore, making money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to increase your influence.

"What about taxes? How much do you plan to set the commercial tax?" the man from before asked.

Chi Nan said nonchalantly: "If you want the best circulation of goods, the commercial tax must be very low. I think 20% is good."

Just hearing this ratio, everyone frowned: "No, this ratio is definitely not acceptable." Mocha was the first to object, and the others nodded, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Why? Although this tax seems very low, it is definitely a lot. Moreover, this can stimulate more businessmen to carry out commercial circulation crazily, and we can actually earn more."

Mocha waved his hand: "Don't talk about this. We don't understand these, but you may not be aware of some of the rules among our nobles. In fact, the minimum tax can only reach 50%."

"Why?" Chi Nan was very surprised.

The young man from before spread his hands: "What Your Excellency Chi Nan said makes sense, but our business tax in Rusiyala Kingdom has always been above 80%, and in some areas it can even reach above 90%. The third generation king once We vigorously developed commerce, and at that time the commercial tax was reduced to 50%, which was the lowest tax rate in history.”

"So, according to legal principles, we can only reduce it to 50% at most, and absolutely cannot go lower, otherwise it will be ultra vires. Although we nobles can arbitrarily set tax pricing in our own territories, but this time we are a business alliance, If the reduction is too great in a large area, the royal family will not let us off easily."

This damn politics, Chi Nan cursed in his heart. But there is no way, the kingdom is not yours, and it doesn’t matter what you say.

"Okay, let's use 50% for now. I think everyone will see the effect soon."

"I agree. If there are any other details, let's discuss them all at once and then sign the agreement."

"I agree, just do it."

Soon all the nobles agreed to Chi Nan's plan. It's not that they agree with this plan, but because they still need Chi Nan's help now, they need pea cannons.

No matter what, you must first become a lord and take over your own territory. Only in this way can you continue, otherwise everything will be in vain. As for this plan, it is only for half a year anyway. This half year is very short. After the Remas war, it is doubtful whether it can be recovered within half a year.

When you find that it is not good, you can just abandon this routine. You will not suffer any losses, but you can also stabilize your position as a lord. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

Even though the nobles all seem to be idiots, when it comes to their own interests, they become very shrewd. No one present was an idiot, so this seemingly strange proposal was passed.

Chi Nan didn't hesitate and started discussing various details with everyone here. This kind of thing basically does not need to be spoken by themselves, but needs to be discussed by their own subordinates. They are eating snacks and chatting, feeling very uncomfortable. Speaking of which, this was the first time Chi Nan had seen this kind of negotiation method, and he was quite unaccustomed to it.
