Chapter 128 Internal reorganization of the three major guilds in Maple Leaf Town
After one night, the lords of the entire South Thrace Military Region knew what happened last night.
The Simon family, which tried to challenge Peter's dominant position in the Southern Thrace Military District, was almost uprooted overnight. The entire family members were almost wiped out, with only one illegitimate daughter left, and Some distant family relatives.
Since then, the Simon family branch in the Kingdom of Storms has been almost completely wiped out.
Even Simon's Town, invested by the monopoly businessman family Othello, disappeared overnight.
This raises very serious questions.
It is true that physical annihilation cannot solve all problems, but it can certainly solve most of them.
Simon's Town was completely wiped out, but the funds and materials that the Simon family borrowed from various parties were all placed in Simon's Town and are now gone.
There are also supplies that merchants from various places put in Simon's Town for storage, but they are all gone now.
The reputation of the Simon family has been ruined after last night.
Therefore, the bankrupt businessmen did not know who they were. The small and medium-sized businessmen who had heard the name of the Othello family and rushed over in excitement were all affected. Now they can only try to ask Baron Simon to recover compensation.
On the contrary, the businessmen who stayed in Maple Leaf Town did not suffer any losses, and the next day, they heard the good news that Sunan was going to spend a lot of money to invest again in Maple Leaf Town, expand the business scale of Maple Leaf Town, and give certain subsidies to those businessmen.
As for where the batch of storm gold coins that Su Nan suddenly took out came from, everyone's thoughts were swirling, and everyone had their own guesses.
Inside the guild buildings such as the Carpentry Guild and the Textile Industry Guild in Maple Leaf Town, every family was decorated with lights and colorful decorations to celebrate their business competition with the Simon Family and the Othello Family. They used this unexpected method to directly... won.
In the carpenter's guild, Mrs. Iss, who was wearing the attire of a male lower-class noble, even had a smile in her eyes. She said to the old carpenters who had registered in the Maple Leaf Town Carpenter's Guild: "Everyone, what did I say? I said Mr. Sunan will definitely solve this matter.”
"We just need to wait quietly. Some of you are complaining that I didn't think of a solution sooner..."
Many old carpenters are a little ashamed.
More middle-aged carpenters and others talked about their current benefits and income with excitement. "This morning, the bulk orders received by my store increased several times."
"But I directly increased the price by one-third. Those nearby who bought furniture from our store did not dare to say anything!"
"Who allowed them to flatter others and suppress others in the past three months?"
Another young carpenter said: "This morning, the town bulletin board of Maple Leaf Town posted a notice to expand the infrastructure of Maple Leaf Town and welcome more outsiders to move into Maple Leaf Town. The more prosperous Maple Leaf Town is, the more prosperous our carpenters' guild will be. .”
"The more guests there are in Maple Leaf Town, the more money we carpenters can earn."
President Yis thought for a while and said to them: "Regarding this, the presidents of our three major guilds discussed this and believe that we should allow Mr. Sunan to participate more deeply in the management of our guilds."
"This is good for everyone."
"Everything in the past has shown how protective and important Mr. Sunan is to our Maple Leaf Town."
"In addition, we may have made many wrong decisions and ideas in the past, so I propose that Mr. Warwick, Mr. Sunan's subordinate, join our guild in making decisions on trade prices, issuing trade licenses, cultivating carpenters, etc. .”
What President Iss meant was to allow the guild organization, which was originally very independent and existed similar to a labor union, to accept the management and coordination of Sunan.
Originally, the three major guilds in the fur, carpentry and textile industries in Maple Leaf Town could set their own prices and trade quantities for the products their guilds were responsible for producing, as well as the number of registered craftsmen.
In Maple Leaf, if you are not recognized by the carpenters' guild, you are not allowed to do carpentry work.
At most, you can make your own furniture instead of selling wooden furniture to others.
Medieval guilds in this era were basically self-managed organizations from bottom to top, tasked with protecting the interests of craftsmen within the guild and safeguarding the interests of industry organization personnel. Basically, it won't make people rich.
If you make a little more, you have to stop, limit your production quantity, and let other carpenters produce more and make more money.
Yes, everyone makes about the same amount of money.
Carpenters will not starve to death, carpenters will not become rich, or large capital will be generated by hiring others.
This is a special union created due to the limited purchasing power of the manor (knight territory) economy.
At the same time, the power of the guild is very powerful. For example, the guild determines how much the wooden furniture here will cost, and there will be no price fluctuations.
But now, President Yisi means to let the people from Sunan directly control and manage the guild, so as to completely rely on Sunan.
In fact, the reason why the presidents of the three congresses made such decisions was because of the suggestion of the wealthy businessman Pigeon.
The rich businessman Pige told them that if Sunan didn't mention the things that happened in the past, it didn't mean they didn't exist.
Mr. Sunan definitely wants to develop Maple Leaf Town, but that does not mean that he will tolerate the three guilds that accommodate all the craftsmen in Maple Leaf Town to continue to develop independently.

Unless... the guild takes the initiative to return part of its power to Sunan and turns it into the ruling body of Maple Leaf Town controlled by Sunan.
In this way, the three major guilds will not be a cancer, but will become a weapon for Sunan to accurately control Maple Leaf Town, prices, the number of workers, and even the supply and demand relationship.
And this is also good for the three major guilds. Master Su Nan is making the cake bigger. As long as they follow Master Su Nan, they can make money continuously.
Today is different from the past. In the past, we only had so many resources, so we had to compete and calculate against each other. But now that the cake is getting bigger, they no longer need to fight internally.
That's why the three major guilds made today's proposal.
To President Ice's surprise, the carpenters of the carpenters' guild did not have much resistance to this, but directly supported it.
"Without Mr. Sunan, Maple Leaf Town would not have been able to survive the Bulgar raids."
"Yes, and Mr. Sunan's decision is right every time. It might be better to let him guide our guild, but it will not allow us, the real foundation of the guild, the carpenters, to be Bullying by some guild organizers”
"It would be best for the Baron to manage us directly. There are no middlemen."
Only then did Mrs. Iss belatedly discover that even within the guild, there were serious conflicts between the craftsmen and the guild managers.
Therefore, the day after Sunan destroyed Simon Town, the three major guilds in Maple Leaf Town directly gave the management rights to Sunan, allowing Sunan to completely control Maple Leaf Town.
You know, in this era, lords often appeared and fattened the commercial town, and the town council of that commercial town would find a way to become independent.
Unlike now, Sunan can actually control Maple Leaf Town more accurately.
This is actually a good thing for Maple Leaf Town's business environment, because Sunan can make appropriate adjustments when certain prices in Maple Leaf Town are very high or very low, making Maple Leaf Town's business mechanism more reasonable.
At the same time, on the third day after the bad news about the Simon family, news was sent from the Simon Territory that Baron Simon had suffered a stroke and was lying in bed unable to move.
He could no longer stand up.
