Chapter 425 Absolute Power Brings Absolute Fairness

Sage never worries about the problem of rich people becoming too big, nor does he use what others think of as "oppression" to deal with the people in his territory.

The biggest reason is what he said.

He is equivalent to the country.

Why do things like oppression and exploitation happen?

It is because those people do not have enough power. No matter whether they are nobles or kings, they cannot fully control their own territory.

So within their limited power, all they can do is to find ways to exploit people so as to realize the cash in time.

As for what will happen to the people below.

It has nothing to do with them. At most, the people will suffer more!

No, this is still relatively good. In fact, many people don't even know this polite talk.

Power is insufficient, so the living standards of the people below will improve, and the living standards of these people will decline.

When the people below make money, they will lose money. In that limited power, the amount of money is also limited.

Sage is different.

Since the past, he can give money very straightforwardly.

When he first started robbing, he dared to give half of it to people. In addition to his own personality, he also believed that the money was not his.

All of them were blown by the strong wind.

His subordinates worked hard to rob, and he just fought with them twice. Anyway, it was free money, and being generous could motivate his subordinates.

Even now, many of his subordinates are still looking for people to rob.

When the standards are different, the rules will be different.

From the beginning, Sage's ultimate goal was not to rob.

He can give to his subordinates, and he can also give to the people under his rule, because he never feels that his assets have become less.

In Sage's eyes, the improvement of people's lives is also a kind of prosperity and an asset.

If the situation does not allow it, and the amount of resources does not allow it, he would like to directly raise the salary so that everyone can pay more taxes.

But today's resources can only reach a certain degree, and Sage does not have unlimited resources.

In any case, as long as the territory is his, there is no difference, and there is no problem of you taking more and I taking less.

As for those businessmen who think they earn less.

It doesn't matter, as long as they don't think they have less lives.

As a ruler, his power is unlimited!

As long as there are people coming in, there will be greater vitality. Now this place is in a rising period, and there is no situation where you can't find a job. As long as the standard is set, it is no longer a factor for Sager to be willing to pay.

Once the standard is set, those businessmen with industries will spontaneously give generous rewards.

Sager did nothing, just took advantage of the growing prosperity.

He would not let the people in the territory fall into saturation. If it doesn't work, he can go out and rob.

"It's up to you."

Sag waved his hand and said to Robin and Kerla:

"If necessary, you can ask your leader to call me. I can prepare supplies at any time, as long as you bring what I need."

"Natural Disaster. No, Norton Sag."

Kerla paused and suddenly asked: "I'm curious, what do you think of our Revolutionary Army."

"What do you think? Sit and watch."

Sag laughed: "I'm a pirate, how can I think of you? Well, for the World Government, you have only become a threat in the past few years."

He didn't remember this very clearly, but vaguely remembered that the Revolutionary Army existed for a long time, but it seemed to have only become a threat in the past few years.

He picked up a big lobster, removed the shrimp head, and chewed it up with the shell, saying: "In general, keep going."

"Hey, what do you mean by your tone like a senior? You are a pirate!" Kerla said in confusion.

Sag didn't seem to have any resistance, but this tone made it feel like Dragon was telling her to go for it.

Sager smiled but said nothing.

The Revolutionary Army.

Although he was not clear about the development process, Sager still knew what they were doing in the world, after all, they were all in the same ocean.

These guys aimed to defeat the Celestial Dragons, yes, not to overthrow the World Government, but to defeat the Celestial Dragons.

For those people in the member countries who could no longer live happily, the Revolutionary Army finally found an opportunity to start a rebellion and won the final victory, but after the victory

they changed a king and asked that king to treat the people better and stop paying the Celestial Gold to the Celestial Dragons.

Well, that's it.

To be honest, when Sager heard about what these people did, his first reaction was to laugh, and the second one was just neutral encouragement.

You say they are good, but their behavior is too abstract.

You say they are not good, but they are the first to raise a big banner to resist the Celestial Dragons.

The starting point is definitely good, and based on the limitations of the times, it is understandable that they did this.

After all, this is not an era of knowledge explosion and unlimited information acquisition.

And Sager would not talk about this.

As for him, even after so many years, some things engraved in his bones have almost become instincts.

But that kind of thing is harmful to him.

So sometimes, he chooses not to remind himself what kind of lessons he had experienced, what kind of information and knowledge he had received.

After all, according to what he is doing now, he is almost practicing the set of things in reverse.

"It's good as long as we can reach an agreement."

Robin smiled and said, "I thought it would be difficult, Sager, it seems that you have no ill feelings towards the Revolutionary Army."

"I am a pirate, I have no ill feelings towards anything, I only care about whether there are benefits. Even if it is the navy, as long as the conditions are right, I can cooperate."

Sage drank a glass of wine and smiled, "Who makes us chaotic guys!"

The navy regards all pirates as enemies, but pirates don't think so. As a group, they only take actions for their interests, and those who stand in the way are enemies.

Otherwise, why do those pirates who can easily defeat the navy run away when they encounter warships?

Because it's not worth it.

When the meal was almost finished and everyone stopped, Sager took the napkin to wipe his mouth, and did not let anyone take it away, and continued:

"Anyway, let's do this first. Someone will contact you for the remaining details. Lily, bring the person up."

Lily nodded, picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number, saying: "Bring the person up."

Soon, Las and several demons escorted a guy dressed as a businessman into the banquet hall.

The man was wearing a mink coat, with gold and jewels all over his body, but his face was full of wounds, as if he was hurt when he came.

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he knelt down with a plop, his whole body was limp, his face was pale, and he stammered:

"Old, Master, I"

Sag looked over, and under his gaze, the man didn't even finish his words.

"Andre"

Sage put down his napkin and shook his head: "You are the first businessman who surrendered to me. I gave you a lot of conveniences and let you add a lot of industries. I have high hopes for you, and you repay me like this?"

Andre was the first businessman who surrendered, and he was also the first person to be a guide.

"Master! Forgive me once, forgive me once! I just, I was a little confused at the time, and I will definitely not do it next time. Master, for the sake of so many things I have done for you, please forgive me once!"

"Work for me? How much have you done for me?"

Sage sneered: "You opened a factory, didn't you make money? Let you contract the island industry, didn't you benefit? What do you mean by working for me? Do you think you are serving me? Don't be ridiculous, a guy of your status is not worthy of talking about loyalty with me, just abide by the rules!"

"I gave you so much convenience, including the industry of this island, you have mixed in a lot, and in the end, this is how you repay me? You blocked my tax collection, you know! You blocked my plan! Lily, tell him!"

"Yes."

Lily said: "Two months ago, although the tax revenue in Vulcanogris did not fluctuate, the price of raw materials decreased. Following this line, we found that you were withholding the workers' wages, concealing your own income, and colluding with the local leaders to lie about the orders from your superiors."

"You took the withheld money and bought new real estate in the West Sea, thinking that no one would find out."

Lily stood up, pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, and looked down coldly at the first merchant who surrendered, "You broke the rules of our Natural Disaster Pirates. According to the tradition of the Pirates, you are a traitor."

Merchants are no different from pirates. They all put profit first.

Some things are bound to happen.

What Sager can do is to use absolute violence to kill these people.
