All the hustle and bustle of the world was only for money.
Two months ago, Little Meng City was ‘besieged by barbarians’, and many wealthy tradesmen and merchants had been killed, their dead bodies piling up like a small hill. A massive amount of wealth and money had been stolen. Two months later, countless tradesmen had come from different kingdoms, once again opening up new shops in Little Meng City.
But this time, these tradesmen were not in charge. They were only allowed to buy from the Little Meng City Trade Union, and thus, only made a certain percentage of profit. Lu Chengfeng was well versed with the prices of the products and treasures from the mountain in every kingdom, and he allowed these foreign tradesmen to earn the same twofold profits. The rest of the profits would belong to Little Meng City.
In just two months, the taxes collected by Little Meng City were equal to the total taxes that were collected in a year and a half by Yi Yan and all the previous Mayors.
