Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

"Then are there any difficulties in the Chamber of Commerce recently?" Paimon asked Jiurisu who had a worried look on his face.

"Difficulties...well, I'm in a dilemma and hit a wall everywhere. I'm used to it." Jiulisu let out a long sigh, and then briefly explained the oppression they encountered.

To sum up briefly, the regulations not only imposed high taxes and various unreasonable regulations on foreign businessmen like them, but what was even worse was that they required chambers of commerce to pay taxes in the form of "crystallized bone marrow."

The most troublesome thing is that there is currently only one businessman who can provide crystallized bone marrow. Needless to say, the consequences of this item being monopolized are that as taxes get higher and higher, the price of crystallized bone marrow is also raised higher and higher by that person. , and in the end, under a vicious cycle, the business of the Chamber of Commerce was almost completely unprofitable.

"Crystalized bone marrow?" Dream Consciousness was a little curious about this mineral, "What is the use of this thing? Why did the Determining Commission choose this thing as tax?"

"I'm not sure. Most of the members of the Chamber of Commerce had never heard of this thing before the decree was promulgated." Jiurisu shook his head.

"Looking at how you look now, you must have already tried to communicate with the person responsible for the determination, right?" Ye Xiao also said what made Jiulisu even more embarrassed at this time, "No result?"

"Yes, but in this land filled with thunderous sounds, who can still hear the cries of us businessmen in desperate situations..." Jiulisu's face darkened.

"Is there something wrong with that businessman?" Ying was keenly aware of this matter, "Where does his crystallized bone marrow source come from?"

"This... Actually, some people in the Chamber of Commerce also suspected him. He had some dealings with us in the past, but he severed ties with everyone in the Chamber of Commerce not long after."

"Now, he has become the only place where we can buy crystallized bone marrow. Even if we suspect that he has a problem, there is nothing we can do. If the private investigation annoys the other party and makes the price of crystallized bone marrow too high again, we will It's really all over." Jiulisu was also very helpless about this.

Everyone knows that there is something wrong with that guy Werner, but the investigation will not help the investigation, and it is difficult for the people from the Chamber of Commerce to investigate privately or to make lies.

"Then where should we find him? Let's try it. I'm a newbie now, so I should be able to get some information." Ying thought for a while and decided to give it a try.

"Oh~! That's true. You are not from the Chamber of Commerce and you have just arrived on the outlying island. He may indeed relax his vigilance." Jiulisu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "If you want to find him, just go to the tree by the seaside in the residential area. Let’s take a look, that’s where we usually meet him.”

Ying and Paimon nodded, and when they bid farewell to Jiulisu for the time being and prepared to head to the beach, Yexiao suggested that they split up.

"Well, there are too many people passing by at once, which may arouse the other party's alert," Ye Xiao said after making sure there was no one else around, "I'll go over there and have a look, maybe I can find some other clues."

While speaking, he also turned his head to indicate his goal - to determine the implementation.

"Wait, wait, this is too dangerous. This is Daozhu's outlying island. It's easy to go wrong if you conduct a private investigation like this." Mengshi stood up quickly, trying to stop Ye Xiao from doing this.

"Don't worry, I just went over to take a look. I won't do anything extreme. I don't want to be wanted just like this. And speaking of crystallized bone marrow, how dare you use this thing as a tax substitute now." Ye Ye Xiao sneered.

"Eh? Ye Xiao, do you know this?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"Well, I have learned something before. In the past, crystallized bone marrow was used as a unique controlled resource for Inazuma. It was mainly used for the forging of weapons, so it almost never flowed into the normal market." Ye Xiao briefly introduced the crystallized bone marrow. marrow.

"Besides, its main production area is on Ba Ying Island. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Yaru Island? Isn't that where the resistance is?" On the Death Star, they learned a lot about the resistance and the Inazuma shogunate from Manyo. Ying reacted immediately when he heard what Ye Xiao said. Come over.

"Yes, not to mention that crystallized bone marrow is still not a controlled item. Just using a mineral that is in a state of war and obviously impossible to supply in large quantities as a tax substitute, I think the problem with the implementation of this determination may be bigger. ." Ye Xiao nodded and said.

"And I estimate that if you can get the word out of Werner, you will eventually come back to the appointment and execution side, so I want to go to a certain point first to facilitate the subsequent work."

"Then why didn't you say this just now?" Mengshi asked a little strangely. She had just asked about the effect of crystallized bone marrow in front of President Jiulisu, but Ye Xiao did not come out to explain at that time.

"Because it's unnecessary. President Jiulisu has already made some guesses about these things, but he doesn't dare and cannot offend the commission. It will not be good for the Chamber of Commerce if we pierce this layer of window paper before there is enough evidence." Ye Xiao explained, then shrugged and continued.

"Even now, even if we can find key information, President Jiurisu can only use this to alleviate the predicament of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations. If the internal problems of the Determining and Enforcement Department are not completely resolved, the life of the Chamber of Commerce will continue to deteriorate day by day. Just drink poison to quench your thirst."

"Hmm, is it so complicated?" Paimon's little head was a little dizzy.

"Yes, in the final analysis, this matter is just a small microcosm of Inazuma's national isolation order," Ye Xiao complained, "Didn't we also see it at Yuanguo Supervisor?"

"Yes, then we will act separately as you said, and be sure to pay attention to safety!" Ying thought about the outrageous bargaining scene in Yuanguo Supervision Department, and felt that Ye Xiao was right, and then nodded and replied .

……

In fact, there was one more thing Ye Xiao didn't say, and that was about another use of crystallized bone marrow - making evil eyes.

When Jiurisu mentioned the crystallized bone marrow, he said that an old businessman finally recognized this mineral, and the reason why this man recognized it was that it had been transported to the Solstice Kingdom.

From this point of view, perhaps the cooperation between Tianling Shouxing and Calendar Shouxing and the Foolish People may be earlier than everyone imagined, and even among the crystallized bone marrow used to pay taxes, it is very likely that a large part of it was assigned to Shouzhou Deal given to fools.

However, because of the idea of ​​making the "evil eye", it is not like the basic use of crystallized bone marrow. It is something beyond the cognition of normal people. Moreover, Ye Xiao can't produce any key evidence now. It is just a verbal statement. It's not very big. It's better to wait until he meets the wanderer and gather the information to make a plan.

By the way, the Rangers should be investigating these things, right?
