Chapter 128 Internal Reorganization of the Three Major Guilds in Maple Leaf Town
After one night, all the lords of the entire South Thrace Military District knew what happened last night.

The Simon family, which tried to challenge Peter's dominant position in the Southern Thrace military region, was almost uprooted overnight. Almost all family members were wiped out, leaving only an illegitimate daughter and some distant family relatives.

Since then, the Simon family branch in the Storm Kingdom has almost been wiped out.

Even Simon's Town, which was invested by the monopoly merchant family Othello, disappeared overnight.

This raises very serious questions.

Physical annihilation certainly cannot solve all problems, but it can certainly solve most of them.

Simon Town was completely destroyed, but the funds and materials that the Simon family borrowed from various parties were all kept in Simon Town, and now they are all gone.

There were also merchants from various places who had stored supplies in Simon's Town, but now they are all gone.

The Simon family has lost all reputation after last night.

As a result, the bankrupt merchants were unaware of the dangers. The small and medium-sized merchants who had heard the name of the Othello family and rushed over excitedly were all affected. Now they could only try their best to ask Baron Simon for compensation.

On the contrary, the businessmen who stayed in Maple Leaf Town did not suffer any losses. Moreover, the next day, they heard the good news that Su Nan was going to spend a large amount of money to invest in Maple Leaf Town again, expand the scale of Maple Leaf Town's business, and give those businessmen certain subsidies.

As for where this batch of Storm Gold Coins that Sunan suddenly took out came from, all parties had their own thoughts and guesses.

Inside the guild buildings of the Carpenters' Guild, the Textile Industry Guild and other guilds in Maple Leaf Town, every house was decorated with lights and colors to celebrate the fact that they had won the business competition with the Simon Family and the Othello Family in such an unexpected way.

In the Carpenters Guild, Madam Is, who was wearing the clothing of a male lower noble, even had a smile in the corners of her eyes. She said to the old carpenters who registered with the Maple Leaf Town Carpenters Guild: "Everyone, what did I say? I said that Lord Sunan would definitely solve this matter."

"We just have to wait and see. Some of you are complaining that I didn't find a solution sooner..."

Many old carpenters felt a little ashamed.

Many middle-aged carpenters and others excitedly talked about their current benefits and income. "This morning, the number of bulk orders received by my shop has increased several times."

"But I just raised the price by one third. Those people nearby who bought furniture from our shop didn't dare to say anything!"

"Who told them to flatter the powerful and bully the weak in the past three months?"

Another young carpenter said, "This morning, a notice was posted on the Maple Leaf Town bulletin board to expand Maple Leaf Town's infrastructure and welcome more outsiders to live in Maple Leaf Town. The more prosperous Maple Leaf Town is, the more prosperous our Carpenters Guild will be."

"The more customers Maple Leaf Town has, the more money we carpenters can make."

President Yis thought for a moment and said to them, "Regarding this, the presidents of our three major guilds have discussed it and believe that we should allow Lord Sunan to participate more deeply in the management of our guild."

"This is good for everyone."

"Everything that happened in the past has shown how much Lord Sunan protects and values ​​our Maple Leaf Town."

"Plus, we may have made many wrong decisions and ideas in the past, so I propose that Lord Sunan's subordinate, Lord Warwick, join our guild to make decisions on trade prices, issue trade licenses, train carpenters, and so on."

What President Yis meant was that the guild organization, which was originally very independent and existed similar to a trade union, should be accepted by Sunan's management and coordination.

Originally, the three major guilds of fur, woodworking 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 were not recognized by the Carpenters Guild, you were not allowed to do carpentry work.

The most you can do is make some furniture yourself, but you can't sell wooden furniture to others.

The medieval guilds of this era were basically self-managing organizations from the bottom up, responsible for protecting the interests of the craftsmen within the guild and the interests of the industry organization personnel. Basically, they would not make people rich.

If you earn a little more, you should stop and limit your production quantity, allowing other carpenters to produce more and earn more.

Yes, everyone makes about the same amount of money.

The carpenter will not be allowed to starve to death, nor will he be allowed to get rich, or to create huge capital by hiring others.

This is a special union that was created due to the limited purchasing power of the manor (knight's territory) economy.

At the same time, the guild has great power. For example, the guild sets the price of wooden furniture here, and that price will be exactly the same, without any price fluctuations.

But now, President Yis's intention is to let Sunan's people directly control and manage the guild, so as to make it completely dependent on Sunan.

In fact, the reason why the three presidents made such a decision was because of the suggestion of the wealthy businessman Pige.

The wealthy businessman Pige told them that just because Sunan didn’t mention what happened in the past, it didn’t mean it didn’t exist.

Lord Sunan certainly wants to develop Maple Leaf Town, but that doesn't mean he will tolerate the three guilds that accommodate all the artisans in Maple Leaf Town to continue to develop independently.

Unless... the guild takes the initiative to return part of its power to Sunan, and becomes 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 powerful tool for Sunan to accurately control Maple Leaf Town, prices, number of workers, and even the supply and demand relationship.

Moreover, this is also beneficial to the three major guilds. Lord Sunan is making the pie bigger. As long as they follow Lord Sunan, they can make money continuously.

Things are different now. In the past, everyone had limited resources, so they had to fight for them and scheme against each other. But now the pie is getting bigger, so they don’t need to waste their time anymore.

That’s why the three major guilds made today’s proposal.

To President Yi's surprise, the carpenters of the Carpentry Guild did not have much resistance to this, but instead directly supported it.

"Without Lord Sunan, Maple Leaf Town would have been in vain during the Bulgar raid."

"Yes, and Lord Sunan's decisions are always correct. Letting him guide our guild might be even better, and it won't let the real foundation of our guild, the carpenters, be bullied by some guild organizers."

"It's best if the Baron manages us directly. There are no middlemen."

Mrs. Is only then realized that even within the guild, there were serious conflicts between the craftsmen and the guild managers.

So, on the second day after Sunan destroyed Simon Town, the three major guilds in Maple Leaf Town directly handed over the management rights to Sunan, allowing Sunan to completely control Maple Leaf Town.

You know, in this era, lords would often appear and fatten up important commercial towns, and then the town council of that important commercial town would try to find ways to become independent.

But unlike now, Sunan can actually control Maple Leaf Town more accurately.

This is actually a good thing for the business environment of Maple Leaf Town itself, because when some prices in Maple Leaf Town are very high or very low, Sunan can make appropriate adjustments to make the business mechanism of Maple Leaf Town more reasonable.

At the same time, on the third day after the bad news about the Simon family, news came 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.
