"In the eyes of some great nobles, the Pascal family is actually very young."

....

"The Salus family in the western border and the Griffin Duchy even competed with the Cangyue Kingdom for the fertile Gaodan Plains."

.....

"The ancestor of the Unicorn family, the Landsworthy family, was truly a poet. His captivating voice and beauty moved the beautiful elves and won the favor of the unicorns in the forest. Then, with the help of his friends, he established his initial territory. He was considered the luckiest of the four dukes."

"In ancient fairy tales, unicorns are synonymous with luck."

....

"We don't know much about the Treyi family. These northern jackdaws are naturally aloof and indifferent, the kind that would leave a banquet unattended, and they rarely participate in the Imperial court's socializing."

....

"Lurna? I'm familiar with it. Since it's in the southern border, any attack in the past would have required a battle with Lurna. But then the Frost Alliance was shattered, and many mages were recruited. Some of the spinning machines we have today were improved by them."

....

"Actually, we don't dislike new technology, because it can greatly reduce costs. We also like those mages who tinker with new industries that can lay golden eggs."

"However, due to the empire's system, we are destined to have no say. If we develop too prosperously, I'm afraid we will become fat meat in the eyes of some nobles."

...

"You can make some small boutiques, such as luxury goods, specifically to serve those big shots. But if you want to make it popular, it's best not to try this kind of thing."

"It puts you in an extremely dangerous situation."

....

"Ahaha, Miss Messia, there's no need to worry so much... A high-quality supplier like you is actually something everyone likes."

....

"If you encounter any minor troubles, we can help you make some concessions."

As the conversation progressed, Loran Hill slowly began to outline the general ideas and pursuits of these businessmen in his mind.

People pursue advancement gradually. After acquiring a certain amount of assets, they will inevitably seek a certain social status and political voice. Unfortunately, the structure designed by the empire does not provide such a position for businessmen.

It's no wonder they stick together for warmth, otherwise the chamber of commerce with huge wealth will become an ATM for the nobles.

So, can such a group become partners?

As the oppressed of the current imperial system, they do have the need and intention to resist and temporarily share a common goal.

But as businessmen, they are naturally unstable and easily swayed by influence.

However, just like a sword, its goodness or badness depends on who holds it. In the future world, commercial trade is indispensable, and it is also an inevitable requirement for the development of the times.

It is still necessary to win over the groups, but various preparations must also be made in advance, such as a complete system, corresponding national institutions and organizations, etc., to counter the unlimited expansion of such groups.

“It feels so troublesome.”

After the banquet, Loran Hill rolled around on the soft bed, expressing his exhaustion.

However, our original wind always has various means to achieve our wishes.
