European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 90
The conversation between the two ended happily. Before leaving, Oulen leaned against the door, gently opened the finger-sized gap, looked around carefully, and urged Possant to leave after confirming that no acquaintance passed by.

Oulen was the only one left in the room, and the quiet environment also calmed his heart. Recalling what Posan said before leaving, Oulen's view of the second son of this family has completely changed.

"Sometimes, choice is more important than hard work."

Euron drank the remaining fruit wine in one gulp. The grapes that had been left for a long time had begun to sour, irritating and numbing his taste buds.The emerald ring on his hand was transparent and jade-like. Euron stared at the ring, wondering about the meaning of this sentence, thoughtfully.

In terms of hard work, no one in Harfleur can compare to the merchants in the chamber of commerce. They get up early and work late every day, braving the invasion of pirates along the coast to obtain their current wealth. On the other hand, what about those nobles?It's just working hard for a while in the mother's womb.

If you really think what Possant said, if you can help out with municipal construction this time, you will definitely leave a deep impression on the lord, and it will be of great benefit in the future.

Anyway, Possang is also a member of the chamber of commerce, and he will definitely stand on the united front with him.

The No. [-] person of the Harfleur Chamber of Commerce has decided to completely stand on the Lord Lord's side at this moment. The shackles of secular power in the past have been bound for too long. Not only Oulen, but all businessmen are eager to break free. Now there is a golden opportunity in front of him. Ou Lun No matter what Lun said, he had to give it a go.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Oulen tidied up his clothes carefully. He put on the silk fabric that would only show up on important occasions, and slightly trimmed the messy stubble with a knife.

He opened the door openly, and the bright and clean clothes were in stark contrast to the hessian clothes around him. Unlike before, he deliberately concealed and avoided him. He suppressed it for too long. God gave him wealth, but he couldn't protect it.

Oulun visited from house to house and summoned the aristocrats who had been abolished before. Most of them were outstanding members of the chamber of commerce.In their eyes, the amount of wealth also symbolizes the level of status.

It was already getting dark, and the businessmen were sitting together in a familiar chamber of commerce. There were also familiar people present, but the chief executive was missing.

Originally, Oulen planned to find a remote place to gather the merchants, but after hearing that Possant said that his brother was out of town this afternoon, he called the merchants directly to the chamber of commerce.

The scale and organization of the Chamber of Commerce really took shape after the Crusades, when Western European countries grew stronger through the looted wealth. With the rise of urban autonomy, the Chamber of Commerce also showed a thriving scene.

A powerful Chamber of Commerce can not only formulate industry systems and urban economic order, but even directly control the jurisdiction of the city, and is the actual controller of the city.

Hafleur's chamber of commerce took shape half a century ago, and most of them came from itinerant merchants on both sides of the English Channel. They witnessed the development of the city, but they were often suppressed and restricted by secular nobles.

No ruler hopes that an organization powerful enough to threaten his own power will appear in his territory. When urban autonomy does not appear, the functions and roles of chambers of commerce are also quite limited.

Oulen glanced at the businessmen present at the meeting, and saw that all the people who were supposed to come had arrived, so he said, "Everyone is here, please be quiet and get ready for the meeting."

"Master Possang hasn't arrived yet?" A voice came from the audience.

"Yes, yes." Another echoed.

The scene became noisy again, and everyone chattered about the purpose of Oulen calling them to the meeting. Seeing that this usually low-key and simple guy was wearing such an exquisite and high-end formal suit today, he couldn't help but pay attention.

Oulun deliberately coughed twice, suppressing the noise at the scene, "This meeting is not convenient for Mr. Possant to attend, and Mrs. Possant is out at sea and not in the city."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Oulen didn't back down, and straightforwardly stated the purpose of coming, "I invite you to this meeting because I want to discuss with you about returning to the lord's place for reinstatement."

The scene became even more noisy, before everyone interrupted, Oulen continued: "I know that everyone may have doubts, I used to be like you, but now is a golden opportunity, if we seize it, we can be like secular nobles Lift your head up and be a man."

"What opportunity? Can it make money?" The audience questioned.

"Will the lord be greedy for our wealth, or try to increase the tax items in a different way?"

The instinct of businessmen makes them think about money all the time, and they can't leave their mouths. After all, apart from money, their status is sometimes inferior to that of ordinary civilians.

"The newly appointed lord is not like the previous mediocre lord. He can see our value. He hopes that we can be used by him, and he can also give us what we want." Oulen made it clear and to the point. The key.

What do businessmen want, wealth?Or status?
The businessmen here are very clear in their hearts that it is simply a luxury to get the approval of the secular nobles. They just treat themselves as sheep grazing outside the door.

"The lord has already ruled Honfleur. A large fief always needs someone to manage it. Join the administrative organization, gain the appreciation of the lord, and receive a fief, and you can completely turn around."

Suddenly there was no sound from all the seats, some murmured in thought, some were silent, and no one dared to take the first step.

"In the past, we also thought about many countermeasures, many of which involved resistance and conflict, but the result? Most of them ended in failure. We are businessmen, and what we are good at is business, not political struggle."

"Now is the opportunity that God has given us. The expansion of the territory will inevitably lead to the expansion of the management class. If we seize this opportunity, we will be able to sit on an equal footing with the secular nobles, and we will no longer have to carefully hide our wealth."

The more Oulen spoke, the more excited he became, and a series of witty words moved everyone present, "Choices are more important than hard work. Stand in the right camp, abandon the prejudices of the past, and welcome a new future."

"I will take the lead in rejoining the administrative body and abide by the laws of Hafleur, and swear allegiance to the lord." Euron finally expressed his attitude, ending perfectly, waiting for others to express their opinions.

The merchants present were a little timid at first, until the first person raised his hand tremblingly and shouted: "I agree, I am willing to trust Lord Oulen."

"I believe in Master Oulun, and I am willing to go back and resume my job."

"I am also willing to be loyal to the lord."

Everyone in the audience expressed their support one after another, and Oulen smiled with relief.

Recalling what he heard when he was confused and wandering, Euron couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps, this guy should be the real clan leader, the one who leads the Chamber of Commerce. Although he is not good at business, he is well versed in secular laws."
