Chapter 349: The Chamber of Commerce’s Thoughts

In fact, Zelen himself would think so, and he should thank the Negan Empire for its advice.

The Negan Empire is now ruled by the second generation of the Queen, so the sisters of the Queen, whose full name is Lai Ting Jiaqi, must not be left alone.

At least they have to be given things to do.

So, Queen Jiaqi asked her third sister to establish a chamber of commerce to deal with many inconvenient things.

For example, the children brought by the Lai Ting royal family outside are the objects that the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Norin Chamber of Commerce need to take in.

As for some backward countries or some conservative civilizations who habitually choose to kill them, the Negan Empire will not easily give up the labor force that can provide services to its own country because of its limited number of citizens.

As a result, these chamber of commerce members with unclear identities and involving royal privacy will naturally continue to serve the royal family. For example, the Grand Theater in Solo City, the capital of the Negan Empire, is an industry under the name of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Most of the expenses of the Lai Ting Royal Family come from here (the owner of the Royal Theater is the third sister of the current Queen of the Negan Empire, the president of the Norin Chamber of Commerce. The audience who can come here to watch singing and dancing are either rich or noble, and are basically wealthy guests with plenty of money. Moreover, as an industry of the Lai Ting Royal Family, the Grand Theater only has special guests, such as foreign embassies who can watch the exquisite performances inside for free, and have the opportunity to taste the royal banquet of the Negan Empire).

In the Crurod Empire, Zelen himself hopes that even if the royal family he belongs to cannot give some illegitimate children a legitimate royal identity, the existence of the Chamber of Commerce can provide these illegitimate children with a suitable place to live and work.

Moreover, with the Chamber of Commerce, the royal family can avoid the emergence of corrupt nobles as much as possible, and at the same time teach royal family members and even other noble members how to treat people.

Especially on the female side, most of them are estimated to be unlikely to choose to join the army to mix merits and gain experience like men in their lifetime. So places like the Chamber of Commerce are places of enlightenment for noble women to study hard and understand what kind of life they should live.

Of course, it is a bit strange for the royal family to open a chamber of commerce to make money, and some people even say that this is competing with the people for profit. But the monarch family of a monarchy has to live no matter what. If the funds in the treasury are embezzled, it will definitely lead to the corruption and fall of the country. Moreover, as an important symbol of the empire, the royal family itself must abide by the laws of the empire.

Otherwise, the people will definitely rise up and abolish the emperor above.

Just like what the Gaomu royal family did to the white-haired dog-headed man on their heads.

However, Zelun thought about it himself, and he didn't have much intention to implement this. After all, he bought the Linmington Weapons Company and turned it into his own industry. Therefore, he can choose whether to have a chamber of commerce or not.

He can still maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with Mr. Mike. Especially as Camelia has his child, Mike's chamber of commerce has basically become his "stolen goods mall", specializing in reselling some "stolen goods" of not very high value.

For example, various drugs.

Yes.

Zelen also has to maintain his own expenses, and the most he can do is to ensure that he will not cheat the people of his country.

Especially the orange-flavored potion that he asked Mr. Mike to sell. Although he said it was a medicine, it was actually some kind of soda water mixed with orange juice.

The specific formula is confidential. Even if Paula and Miao Jie take turns to torture him together, he will never tell it.

Anyway, he will not let the people drink poisonous things. At most, he uses this thing more like candy and drinks to please children to make a little money.

You should know that if it is Queen Jiaqi of the Negan Empire, she used to be a cook, and she also wrote books and made a whole series of recipes to collect book fees at home and abroad.

That's right.

If you want this queen's book, you have to pay for it.

Especially in the Negan Empire, no one dares to secretly pirate the Queen's books and then sell them privately.

Once discovered, they will be directly sentenced. After being sentenced, even if the criminals convicted of relevant crimes can find an opportunity to choose suicide, it will also bring disaster to their families, causing the criminals' families to have to participate in certain voluntary work to ensure that their families are indeed not suspected of any suspicion. Of course, these voluntary works are basically not easy jobs, and some still require the criminals' family members to take the initiative to complete them with their own lives.

At the same time, the laws of the Negan Empire are so strict that even Zelen himself feels complicated. They are so strict that they stipulate what types of pets the people in the country cannot keep.

For example, in the matter of raising dogs, the Negan Empire is a "weird" - any citizen is prohibited from raising dogs nationwide, and those who violate the law will be punished by public flogging.

And even with the dogs, the dog owners will be subjected to at least 50 floggings.

Needless to say, the dogs basically cannot survive and are directly whipped to death on the spot. What's more, the whips used by the Negan Empire for flogging are carefully selected, with a very tough texture, and are made of vines soaked in supersaturated salt water.

Let alone execution, there are whip lovers in the Negan Empire who have written fighting books on how to use vines as melee weapons.

Therefore, the people of the Negan Empire who have been whipped are basically more afraid than one another to see vines, or even softer and stronger objects like ropes (they directly regard them as extremely scary torture instruments).

As for why the Nigan Empire was so creative, it specifically stated in the law that keeping dogs was prohibited.

Of course, the reason here is definitely not related to the black-haired dog-headed people of the Gaomu Kingdom, but because the Gaomu Kingdom was once attacked by one of the pets of the demons, a three-headed dog with a tall body that could spit out fireballs continuously from its mouth. So since the era of the first Queen, the Nigan Empire's aversion to dogs has risen to the level of national defense and security.

Even in the Nigan Empire, keeping dogs is a kind of thought that is generally considered by the society of the Nigan Empire to be degenerate and likely to become a cultist.

In short, although the Nigan Empire is different from most civilizations dominated by men, Zelen himself still has a strong interest in it.

At least one, the Nigan Empire can often propose a solution that everyone can accept for some social problems of the Krurod Empire.

Even if the vast majority of the people in the Krurod Empire are not very accepting, they will not have a certain degree of understanding of the history, culture and even social atmosphere of the Nigan Empire like Zelen.
