Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 324 - 163 What are you doing pulling on my clothes, dummy... Is this what you’re thinking about? (51/76)_3

Kael shook his head, very certain as he said, "The recipes for the Three Magic Potions, as long as one can guarantee to follow the usage sequence of the potion combination, can be said to have fewer side effects than over 90% of the magic potions on the market."

Elanna spoke with some displeasure, "If our magic potions themselves are not problematic, then even if they join forces to exclude us, it wouldn’t really be effective, right?"

Kael shook his head and said, "No, they really can affect our Lancaster business.

Or to be more precise, people are followers by nature; when a considerable number of Chambers of Commerce unite to declare that there’s a problem with our product, it becomes problematic even if it isn’t."

Elanna thought about the courses related to the federation and English jurisprudence she had studied at the academy. After a moment, she said:

"It seems that the existing laws do not adequately limit this behavior.

In the past, it was mostly handled through mediation between the Chambers of Commerce. If the dispute between them was truly irreconcilable, it would be assessed comprehensively by the nobles backing the respective Chambers."

At the noble level, there already exists a set of viable unwritten and controlled rules by the Noble Council. From the perspective of the nobles, solving the problem would be much better."

After all, Elanna had not dealt much with the nobles before. In fact, she began to really understand the nobles only after entering the Royal Knight Academy and meeting many of her classmates.

Unlike Kael, even though his original family was not welcomed by the Charles family, his noble education had never been lacking over the years.

But Elanna was indeed very smart, and quickly deduced the past relationships between the Chambers of Commerce from the few words Kael said.

She opened her mouth and said, "Previously, there was generally one or several nobles standing behind each Chamber of Commerce. Small conflicts between the Chambers could usually be internally resolved through their union.

For conflicts between Chambers that could not be mediated, consideration by the backing nobles meant that merchants could not completely break away from the existing federation’s ruling class’s control.

In a well-established noble system, internal Chamber affairs could be entirely negotiated by the nobles. But now, the merchants themselves have become nobles.

The original conflict between the traditional, conservative noble system and the aggressive, fervent merchant system became intense under the influence of the various Lords, and this conflict was transformed into a means of mutual promotion and growth.

The realist factions led by the Federation/Duchy/Lords, overlapping with both the nobility and the Chambers, did not necessarily share the same interests, creating a balance among the three.

But now, the balance has been disrupted…"

Kael smiled and said, "You’re right; before merchants became nobles, they couldn’t represent the interests of the nobility. But now, as they have become the new nobility, a very evident phenomenon has presented itself in front of them.

Previously, the noble system had its own unwritten rules and clear regulations that indirectly made up for our lack of relevant provisions against the Chambers."

But now, the former restrictions on the nobility can’t be effectively applied to these merchants who have become nobles.

It’s foreseeable that if such a situation is allowed to continue, these major Chambers will eventually become the main entities controlling the economy of the Duchy and even the Federation.

By then, even without the approval of the traditional nobles, they will still be able to influence the development direction of the Yibel Federation in practical terms."

"…Isn’t there any other way? Like enacting relevant laws to limit their potential expansion."

Kael shook his head and said, "Elanna, that approach is very dangerous. Whether we acknowledge it or not, the existence of the Chambers of Commerce has successfully mobilized the entire federation’s economic system, applying resources more adequately in their appropriate places.

Although this was not the original intention of the Chambers, simply by doing so, they could obtain greater profits. But in terms of consequentialism, before they truly gained powerful authority, they indeed effectively mobilized the market.

To harshly suppress them would be to dismantle the whole federation’s capability to allocate resources."

Although there were some things Elanna did not quite understand, she roughly grasped the problem facing Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.

If they resorted to using noble tactics to directly undermine the Chambers, not only could it provoke desperate resistance from the emerging nobles backing the Chambers but also criticism from the traditional noble system, and even give Kael’s opponents a chance to frame him.

However, if they did not resort to noble tactics, but merely considered the perspective of the Chambers, the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce would likely have difficulty withstanding the boycott from the numerous united Chambers.

Indeed, the reason Lancaster Chamber of Commerce was only facing this problem now was because Kael had previously surmised that if they carried on like the former Florence Chamber of Commerce, which relied on a network of relationships for buying and reselling large quantities of goods, acting like middlemen going through various noble systems to find temporarily unneeded resources for resale and expansion...
