Chapters 223-225 Five Mice Take Action_4
Faced with such cruel, such bloody suppression, all merchants could only submit. Since taxes could not be lowered, the only option was to increase the prices. Overnight, the cost of goods in Wave Valley City surged by 20%! Every merchant, as if by an unspoken agreement, had hiked the prices of their assorted goods by 20%!
However, even though it was only 20%, life for the common folk was already difficult enough. Incomes did not increase, but expenses rose by 20%. Life was already a tight squeeze, and this price hike made it simply unlivable.
As the Wild Wolf Gang's iron-fisted suppression continued, Wave Valley City gradually returned to calm. However, the lives of all the citizens within the city underwent earth-shattering changes. Those wealthier could still manage their lives, but the poorer families could no longer maintain even the most basic living conditions.
