Chapter 444 fake news (thanks to the monthly pass of 2017...0762)
Powell's face was full of worry:
"It's His Royal Highness Xiao En, the official declaration of war from the Kingdom of Anjou has been sent!"

"Oh? What kind of reason do they start the war?" Sean asked curiously.

Powell spread his hands helplessly: "Their reason for starting the war is very unreasonable, you should see it clearly."

Powell took out a blood-red, beautifully wrapped parchment letter and handed it to Sean.

Sean took it and unfolded it to have a look.

The gist of the letter is:

In the past 100 years, the Grand Dukes of Ryan have frequently used evil means to control the high-level pirates of Rhodes Island, allowing the pirates to occupy Rhodes Island, robbing merchant ships, murdering and arson, and causing countless appalling tragedies.

Now that Grand Duke Ryan has been captured, the pirates of Rhodes Island have escaped from the control of the evil Grand Duke Ryan.

For the sake of justice and at the same time following the will of the God of Light, the Kingdom of Anjou formally declared war on the Principality of Ryan to completely wipe out the evil country of the Principality of Ryan!
……

After reading the entire content of the declaration of war, Sean couldn't help but marvel: "It's really a very good reason to declare war. To be honest, we really can't refute it. At least they have stood on the moral high ground."

Powell also sighed: "Fortunately, we knew their actions more than ten days in advance, otherwise it may be too late to prepare for war now.

Moreover, if this declaration of war is spread, the morale of our soldiers will be greatly reduced. "

"Don't worry about them, just prepare for the war with peace of mind. History is written by the victors. As for the morale of the soldiers, we can just say that they are false propaganda and fake news."

Sean didn't take this declaration of war seriously: "Powell, is there anything else?"

After Powell heard the phrase "History is written by the victors", he seemed to realize something, and he kept thinking about this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

But after hearing Sean's question, he immediately came back to his senses:

"One more thing, it's about the residents in the city. In the past two days, the news of the alliance between the Anjou Navy and the Rhode Island pirates has spread in the city, and the citizens are very panicked.

Many citizens fled Kapur Port and fled towards the northern towns. Most of the residents were still watching, and the whole city was in chaos. "

"This is normal." Sean paced slowly in the room and said with a smile:
"Actually, 7 days ago, when we asked the nobles for money, the news should have spread, but it has not been spread because of the typhoon.

Now that the typhoon has passed, people should know about it. "

"Your Highness, what should we do then?" Powell asked worriedly.

"It's very simple, order your troops to guard the streets and stabilize the people's hearts. Tell the residents in the city that the nobles and troops headed by Sean Violet will fight to the last moment in the city! People are in the city, and people are dead! "

"Okay, Your Highness." Powell was intimidated by Xiao En's momentum, and replied in a low voice.

For the next period of time, Powell and Sean discussed a few more minor matters, then left the residence and went to integrate their troops.

At 6 p.m., Sean hosted a small dinner at the residence.

Those who participated in this dinner were all the core members of Shawn's forces: Windsor, Khadgar, Lor'themar, Morgan, Occam, Hannall and so on.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious dinner, while chatting with each other about work, and making specific adjustments to what to do tomorrow.

In the past, this link was held in the morning meeting, but Sean soon discovered that none of the generals under his command likes to hold the morning meeting, and Hannall, Occam, and Mossoni are all night owls, and they can work until the end of the day. In the early morning, there was no way to see the morning meeting.

So Sean canceled the morning meeting and moved the time to talk about work to the dinner party.

Except for Sean and Morgan, everyone is from Azeroth, so the atmosphere of the dinner was particularly harmonious.

While eating the barbecue dipped in special sauce, Sean listened to Lor'themar and Morgan's report on work.

Lor'themar held the plate and said while eating the fruit: "My lord, the three ice workshops have started to produce at full capacity, and many big businessmen are interested in our high-quality and cheap ice cubes, and have sent a large number of orders. Don’t worry about not being able to sell it.”

"Very good!" Sean stammered while eating the barbecue.

Morgan was eating a strange-looking octopus, and said at this time: "My lord, the five paper-making workshops have been set up now, but the paper-making machines are not yet in place."

"It's okay, take your time." Sean replied casually.

"My lord, I have something. I don't know if I should ask." Morgan's expression looked a bit tangled, and he didn't know if it was because the octopus was not tasty.

"What's the matter? You ask."

"That's right." Morgan put down the plate and said seriously:

"We brought a large amount of perfume, soap, playing cards and other goods from River Beach Town, but they have been backlogged in the warehouse. When will we sell these goods?"

"There's no rush to sell it now." Sean smiled and drank a glass of blueberry juice in one gulp: "Although there are a lot of goods we brought, they are all sought-after goods, and they can be sold out in three or four days.

But we don't have any replenishment, so we can't close the store after selling for three or four days, right? "

"You're right." Morgan nodded obediently.

Sean continued to Lor'themar and Morgan: "You should know, right? Recently, panic has spread in the city, and many people have begun to sell their houses in large numbers. Now the house prices should have gradually dropped."

Before Lor'themar came, he paid attention to the house price and looked at Morgan.Morgan nodded and replied:

"I know what you said. In the past, many businessmen hoarded a large number of houses and waited for the appreciation. Now that the war is coming, the overall house price has dropped by nearly 10% today alone."

"Don't worry, there will be some drops in the future, I think it can drop by at least 60%!" Xiao En said with a smile:
"In a few days, when housing prices drop to a certain level, we will buy a large number of houses, shops, workshops, warehouses, etc.

Of course, more shops and workshops should be bought. These houses are hoarded in the hands of big businessmen, and the premium is too high, and the house price must have fallen the most.Now that we have money, we can even buy ownership of an entire marina.

As for the goods Morgan you mentioned, it won't be too late to sell them! "

"Understood, my lord." Morgan nodded: "I will always pay attention to the housing prices in the city in the past few days."

"In the future, most of my energy will be focused on the upcoming war, and I will leave the business to you two!" Sean said seriously.

"We will do it well!" Lor'themar and Morgan replied at the same time.
