"This is Takeshi Kaneshiro."

Li Guanqi slightly cupped his fists.

He thought about it when he left the nameless valley, and finally chose the name Takeshi Kaneshiro to walk around the shogunate between "Takeshi Kaneshiro" and "Takumi Fujiwara".

"It turns out to be Mr. Jincheng."

Takano Kei looked at him and smiled: "I wonder why Mr. Jincheng came to Honey City? Maybe I can help a little."

"I'm actually here to find someone, but..."

Li Guanqi looked around, looking at the depressed streets of Mi City, with a solemn look on his face, "The news I heard from the outside world is that Mi City is very wealthy, very wealthy... But what I have seen with my own eyes now is not the case. On the contrary, men

Without a job, women even have to do business to support their families."

"Rich? That happened before."

Takano Kei stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes gloomy, "Want to hear it? This story is not long, but for a knight-errant, it may not be that pleasing to the ear."

"I'm a very curious person."

Li Guanqi nodded, "Lord Gaoye City, you might as well tell me."

"Let's talk as we walk."

Takano Kei walked towards the street outside.

Li Guanqi followed closely behind.

After walking a few steps, the Lord of Honey City slowly began his story:

"You must have heard that we made crazy money from the honey trade in the field. We are very, very rich. People outside call us Honey City. Even some locals, or most young people, start to call themselves Honey City.

But I don’t know if you have heard that Honey City’s economy is actually very abnormal.

The people in the city are either individual beekeepers or workers in beekeeping factories, and 99% of their income comes from the honey trade.

In other words, once Honey City's honey business collapses, Honey City's economy will collapse instantly.

And the result of the economic collapse..."

Having said this, Kei Takano stopped, looked at the street not far away, and said in a low voice, "You saw it all along the way."

Li Guanqi then looked around.

There was a group of idle Sakura people, squatting at the intersection, their faces full of decadence.

"Why is this?"

Li Guanqi looked at Kei Takano in surprise, "Why on earth do the people in the city have no jobs?"

"Because work is useless."

Kei Takano stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a deep voice: "Almost all the work in Honey City is related to honey, but now the honey in Honey City is unsalable. A large amount of honey is hoarded in the warehouse and cannot be sold at all.

Even if these people continue to work, keep bees, and produce honey, they can only continue to fill up the warehouse, but they cannot get a single gold coin from it."

Li Guanqi didn't ask any more questions.

Because he knew that the story that Kei Takano was going to tell... "the knights in the world didn't like to hear it" had just begun.

"The honey trade in Honey City is actually not controlled by the palace."

Kei Takano's eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "Since the founding of Honey City 50 years ago, the honey trade in Honey City has been controlled by a sect called the Honey Water Gang.

In fact, it is not so much the shogunate who built Honey City as it was the Mi Shui Gang who built Honey City, gradually expanding it from a barren beekeeping village in the mountains to the wealthy beekeeping city it is today.

All the honey in Honey City can only be sold through the Honey Water Gang.

The boss of the Mi Shui Gang has monopolized all sales channels... Well, actually speaking of monopoly is a bit inappropriate, because these sales channels were originally created by the Mi Shui Gang from scratch and expanded little by little.

In other words, all honey buyers only recognize the honey water gang leader!

Without the Honey Water Gang, the honey produced by the people of Honey City would not be sold at all, and would be seriously unsalable.

Just like it is now.

The Mi Shui Gang is the second shogunate of Mi City.

The boss of the Honey Water Gang is the Little Emperor of Honey City.

Even on many occasions, I, the city lord, have to accommodate myself to the honey water gang leader.

Because of this, the Mi Shui Gang has become increasingly arrogant and domineering. It is not uncommon for members of the gang to bully the market and rob civilian girls.

But I can only let it go.

Because of my strict handling, the Mi Shui Gang will also be dissatisfied, and they will suppress the sales channels, which will eventually lead to unsaleable products for beekeepers and make them miserable.

It is not me who suffers from forced governance, but the people.

So I can only maintain the status quo.

Occasionally, women are robbed, and workers are generally exploited.

But a balance has been reached, and the Mi Shui Gang also understands the scale and will not go too far.

This is how Honey City develops day by day.

In those dark corners that cannot be seen, evil deeds that are unbearable to look at happen.

Where the sun shines, outsiders can only see that Honey City is extremely rich from the honey trade.

It's a balance.

But just a month ago, this balance... was broken."

By the end of the sentence, Kei Takano's face was extremely gloomy, almost gritting his teeth.

"That fool! That fool warrior of the Qingliu family, he wiped out the Honey Water Gang! He even killed the leader of the Honey Water Gang!"

ah?

Li Guanqi was stunned.

The Mi Shui Gang, which controlled the economic lifeline of Mi City, was wiped out...

I see.

Honey City was just a beekeeping village at first. Even if it developed later, it was just a deformed economic area. Ninety-nine percent of the income of the people in the city came from the honey business.

All honey sales channels are controlled by the Mi Shui Gang. All honey products of the common people need to rely on the Mi Shui Gang to sell them, otherwise they will be unsaleable and they will not be able to earn a single gold coin.

but.

The Honeywater Gang was wiped out by a samurai.

Because of this, Honey City’s honey sales channels have completely disappeared. The people of Honey City cannot sell the massive honey products at all. Then the sequelae of this abnormal economic region have also completely erupted - honey products cannot be sold.

The people at the bottom of the city can't make money.

This eventually led to the current economic depression in the city.

Men can't make money.

Women had to sell themselves to different-blood warriors to earn money to support their families.

but……

Something's wrong.

Li Guanqi admitted that he was an economic layman, so he really didn't understand. Is it really that difficult to solve the problem of finding new honey sales channels?

"That stupid samurai!"

Li Guanqi had a question and wanted to ask Takano Kei, but the five-element-level city lord was obviously angry at the moment, and his face was extremely ferocious.

"A month ago, the samurai from the Qingliu family came to Honey City. He heard that the Honeywater Gang exploited workers, and also heard that the little leader of the Honeywater Gang raped civilian girls, and then he directly uprooted the Honeywater Gang.

He killed most of the members of the Honey Water Gang, and the leader of the peak four-elephant-level gang had his head chopped off by him!

However, the honey sales channels and big buyers in Honey City only recognize the leader of Honey Water Gang. Once the leader of Honey Water Gang dies, they will no longer choose honey products from Honey City, but will turn to other production areas.

.

There is no honey city, but there are still a lot of honey production areas.

It is Honey City that needs those merchants, not those merchants that need us.

that's all.

That stupid samurai thinks he is very righteous, thinks he draws his sword to help when the road is rough, thinks he is great!

But he has no idea that the economy of Honey City is entirely driven by the honey trade.

And the honey trade in Honey City is all maintained by the Honey Water Gang. All dealers only recognize the face of the leader of the Honey Water Gang!

Now that the Honeywater Gang has been uprooted by that idiot samurai, and the leader of the Honeywater Gang has been killed by him, Honeycity's honey trade has collapsed, and the economy has been paralyzed!

He thought he had saved those exploited workers.

Little do they know that those workers have now lost their jobs in the honey factory and have no choice but to sign contracts with wealthy businessmen from other places in order to survive. They have to leave their hometowns and accept more serious exploitation.

He thought he had saved those women who were being toyed with.
