Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 222: Tax inspector

Chapter 222 Tax Auditor

Dad Hugo has great prestige among the residents of White Bird Town. He just said a few words and the two or three thousand people gathered around the square began to disperse. The remainder of the square was less than half an hour. There are dozens of idle men.

"Lord(s), please follow me to the town office and sit down." Father Hugo said, pointing to a three-story brick-wood house not far away.

The layout of the town hall is simple, there are several worn desks in the lobby on the first floor, and an old sofa with a few patches.

"Lord(s) Lord(s), I usually live on the second floor above. The first floor is the office that handles the administrative affairs of Bainiao Town and the villages below. The third floor is the storage room and the warehouse. There are still some accumulations for five years. I brought the account book to Lord(s) for a look. "Said Hugo father.

"This is not urgent, Dad Hugo, first tell me about the situation on the Silowas Islands in the past five years. I have to say sorry here, because the old Territory of the family is on the side of Northern Land, and the traffic is inconvenient, so this I have n’t considered the new Territory of Silowas Islands for five years, and it ’s my Lord(s) that has failed me. I am really sorry for the leaders here and wronged them. ”Lorist took a stool and sat down, inviting Hugo. Dad sat down and apologized to him.

"Lord(s) Lord(s), please do n’t say this. I have been in the army for a long time. I have heard of the prestigious names of Northern Land Norton Family and Roaring Angry Bear. Northern Land is thousands of miles away from here, and there is a hostile country like Madras Dukedom in the middle. This is not the fault of Lord(s) Lord(s) ... "Dad Hugo waved hands again and again.

"There is no traffic inconvenience now. The family has built a port in Northern Land. This time I will also take a direct boat trip. It will take less than a month to go back and forth in the future. Father Hugo, let's talk about the situation here Come on. "

"Okay, Lord(s) Lord(s)." Dad Hugo thought for a while and said, "I returned to White Bird Town because of the dissolution of White Lion Legion in March 1765. When I retired, I was 53 years old with already. Silowas Islands was still at that time. Prince, I often see Second Highness standing in the port looking in the direction of Imperial Capital. After two years, a messenger suddenly came. It is said that Second Highness already regained control of the kingdom and Silowas Islands was sealed to Norton Family.

Many people of Second Highness boarded the ship and went back. They took everything with them, and even the defensive team was disbanded, and their weapons and equipment were taken away. Silowas Islands was left unmanaged and became very confusing. After one month, Shiratori Town became a garbage dump. No one cares about it. Every day, people fight and fight. The residents already cannot live.

At this time, something happened. A small cargo ship came here and wanted to resupply. As a result, the sailors on the ship found that no one was here and started to spread wild. In three days, they killed seven residents and arrested several. woman. At that time, I found that three sailors broke into the neighbor's house to rob and wanted to **** their mother and daughter. I couldn't help but took the sword and killed the three assholes. So the people in the town followed me to destroy the sailor on the small cargo ship, and elected me to be the mayor of Shiratori, temporarily, to manage Shiratori before Lord(s) Lord(s).

At that time, I felt that since I returned to my hometown, I should help my hometown. So I reorganized the Shiratori Town defensive team and restored the order of Shiratori Town. And arranged various positions in the town, such as sheriff, clerk, tax collector, accountant, etc. Lord(s) The desks you see are where they usually sit.

When Silowas Islands was still under the leadership of the prince, the tax rate set by Second Highness was 50%. I do n’t know what the rules of the Lord(s) family are, and there is no place to ask, so I will collect taxes at the rate set by Second Prince, and then The public funds and the salaries of civil servants are paid from the tax. All the books list the detailed income and expenses. Lord(s) can check at any time.

Second Highness was only 50% in tax and profit at the time. There were only seven other taxes, namely, head tax, alcohol tax, boat tax, fishing tax, land tax, salt tax and commercial tax. The tax for the whole year can be around 2,000 gold fordes. The life of the residents is still fair, as long as they are hardworking and do not worry about eating. When Viscount Yaslan first came to collect taxes, it was quite satisfactory, only 10%. But in the third year of the second year, it will increase by 10% every year, and even the head tax and alcohol tax will be forced to occupy the past.

Before Viscount Yaslan came over the previous year, it raised the tax to 50%. Not only did it take over the seven miscellaneous taxes, but it also increased six additional taxes. It is said that this is the reunification tax. I protested, but Viscount Yaslan said that I was not an official appointed by Lord(s) Lord(s), but a town mayor elected by residents, which was illegal. I had no choice but to ask him to list the detailed tax bill and issue a receipt, so that he could pay the tax in full.

Lord(s) Lord(s), according to the calculation of Viscount Yaslan in the past two years, the tax of our entire Silowas Islands has to pay more than 5,700 gold fordes each year, which has almost doubled more than just ... "

"Wait a minute, father Hugo, aren't you saying that Baidu Town's tax revenue for the whole year was more than 2,000 gold fordes? Why did Viscount Yaslan calculate the tax amount of more than 5,700?" Lorist asked.

"Oh, this is the case, Lord(s) Lord(s). It is correct to say that Shiratori Town is the administrative center of the entire Silowas Islands. Before Second Highness did not arrive, Silowas Islands had only three villages and one town. But after Second Highness arrived, he followed him and came near More than 4,000 people, half of them live in Bai Bird Town, doubled the town of Bai Bird, and the remaining half built a village on the island to live there.

Second Highness left Silowas Islands to Lord(s) after leaving, and most of the people who followed him left, leaving only a thousand people who did not want to leave and continued to live in that village. In the next few years, many more immigrants arrived, and the number of residents already on Silowas Islands has now reached more than 12,000. Since the previous year, the tax has increased sharply to about 4,000 gold fordes, plus the miscellaneous taxes formulated by Viscount Yaslan. In total, there are about 6,000 gold fordes, but we ca n’t receive so much tax at all. We need to calculate according to Viscount Yaslan. To lose more than 700 gold fordes. "Dad Hugo explained.

"Why do you have more than 6,000 taxes, but you still ca n’t receive more than 700 gold fordes? What is going on?" Charade heard strangely, interjected.

Dad Hugo shook his head helplessly and took a map of Silowas Islands: "Lord(s) Lord(s), you see, there is a manor castle not far from the east of Shiratori Town, called Wanghai Manor, that is the entire Silowas Islands landscape The most beautiful place, every evening, under the sunset light, the large beach in front of Wanghai Manor is shining with golden light, almost comparable to the white sand beach of Madras Dukedom Sidol Province, but the area is much smaller, but it is also a good place for summer water.

This manor was originally the place where Second Highness lived, but after Second Highness left, it was occupied by several Aristocrat(s)s in the kingdom. They turned Wanghai Manor into a place where they could play and play. When Lord(s) came, you should see those gorgeously decorated sea boats at the dock. Those ships were used by Aristocrat(s) to ride and transport their cargo.

And here, this village called Faramar, half a day away from Wanghai Manor, is the settlement of the people and horses left by Second Prince. They occupy the richest field of Silowas Islands, but they have always refused to pay taxes. They claim He is an Second Prince person. He was born and died for Second Prince. Whoever asks them to pay taxes is disrespect to Second Prince. We have no way of dealing with them.

Viscount Yaslan doesn't care about this. He also recorded the tax payable by Wanghai Manor and Faramar Village to us. We were helpless and did not listen to any representations. Later, Hickard came up with an idea. We organized a fleet to fish, and sold the catch to the merchants. From here, the tax difference was made up. I have enough money to pay everyone's salary and give the guard team a little room and board subsidy ... "

"Lord(s), that Viscount Yaslan was caught by us." Jim came in and Lizheng Reported.

"Where was it?" Charade asked.

"He brought two entourages who wanted to escape by boat. But the sailors on the boat went to the bar in town and couldn't sail. I went to the dock to inform Captain Wilson that some sailors saw them on board and I passed by. They were caught just after an investigation. "Jim reported.

"Bring this **** Viscount, I want to hear how he explained to me." Lorist ordered.

"I protest, I'm Aristocrat(s), you can't treat me so rudely." Jim came in with a thin man wearing a Aristocrat(s) dress less than a minute out, maybe he heard the **** Viscount that Lorist said, So he behaved very fiercely, a dress that grabbed Viscount Yaslan's chest and carried him into the room.

"Daddy Hugo, who was the Hickard you just said?" Lorist ignored the loudly protesting Viscount Yaslan, but continued to talk to Daddy Hugo.

"Lord(s) Lord(s), Hickard is our clerk. He graduated from Imperial Capital's Morber College and served as a trainee Instructor. Later, Morber College was destroyed in the war, and he took his family to Second Highness to Shiratori. Town, became a clerk responsible for the transportation of goods. Later, the people of Second Highness left because he was unwilling to leave, and stayed in Shiratori Town. Because he was proficient in the writing of official documents, I hired him to be the clerk of Shiratori Town. "Yu Daddy Guo answered.

"Oh, Hugo, you are doing very well. I am very glad that Silowas Islands has your existence, so that you have not fallen into chaos. As Lord(s), I would like to express my gratitude and respect to you. Thank you for your efforts And the painstaking efforts, Norton Family will not forget. "Lorist stood up and paid tribute to Father Hugo. The Charade, Els, Patt, Jim and others who were still in the room also paid tribute to Father Hugo.

"This, this, Lord(s) Lord(s), this ..." Father Hugo was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Lorist waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, then turned around and looked at the Viscount Yaslan with a pale and surprised face, smiling very mildly: "Viscount Yaslan? Jiu Yang Daiming. I'm Lord(s) of Silowas Islands, Norton Lorist, see I'm really happy to be you. "

The smile of Lorist gave Viscount Yaslan an illusion. Perhaps it made him feel that Lorist speaks well. It comes from the soil buns of Northern Land side. He has never seen anything. The slim Viscount Yaslan has a crumpled dress, and his voice is high: "You are Count Norton from Northern Land? As Aristocrat(s), you must apologize and compensate me. Your family soldier(s) offends me rudely, This is an intolerable sin for Aristocrat(s). You have to punish your soldier(s) in front of me and obtain my understanding, otherwise I will sue you to the Aristocrat(s) court of the kingdom that Norton Family has no Aristocrat(s) style and despise the dignity of Aristocrat(s). Let your barbaric behavior spread to all the Aristocrat(s) ears of the kingdom ... "

"Ah, that ’s terrible. This consequence is unacceptable to us ..." Lorist pretended to marry, turned to Jim and said, "Did you offend the honorable Viscount Yaslan? Come here, I will punish you ! "

Jim strode in front of Lorist, Lorist reached out his right hand and patted Jim's face twice: "How can you stupid make the respected Viscount Yaslan well-dressed in front of me? You see now he is all You have to go in. You should strip his clothes, apply horse dung on him, and drag them over, then he will only beg for a cover-breaking suit to maintain his Aristocrat(s) dignity, and he will not ask for more. Requested. "

Lorist took two more shots on Jim's face: "Remember this lesson? These two slaps are punishment for you."

Jim smiled openly: "Remember, Lord(s), I will not make such a mistake again next time."

Lorist nodded: "Very well, stand aside."

"Yes, Lord(s)!"

Everyone in the room laughed, but only Viscount Yaslan was stunned.

"Protest! I want to protest! ..."

Lorist walked past is a severe slap, the thin Viscount Yaslan turned 180 degrees in situ, his face swollen, the corners of his mouth were broken, a mouth, several teeth fell out, and blood poured out from the corner of his mouth. Then Viscount Yaslan stunned and collapsed to the ground.

"Protest a bird! Labor and capital haven't settled with you yet, you call out. Let me talk about your sins. First, labor and capital is Territory Aristocrat(s), and the title is Count. You are just a Viscount, regardless of status. In terms of status, labor and capital are several times higher than you. You dare to point your finger in front of me, not only does it not show respect, but also accuses labor and capital of offending your Aristocrat(s) dignity? Are you joking? You have a **** dignity! In labor and capital In your eyes, this Viscount is a stun! "

Lorist stretched out his right foot and stepped on Viscount Yaslan's face: "Dare to protest to me! You are provoking the glory and dignity of Norton Family. Only a few years later, the roar of the angry bear was actually given by the kingdom's Aristocrat(s) It ’s so regrettable to forget it. I think it ’s necessary to let the Aristocrat(s)s in the kingdom remember what the angry fury is. ”

Viscount Yaslan lay on the ground and danced: "Under the May Fourth hungry age, there is no way to inspect the mine. I have a life tree ..."

"Don't you dare to talk back?" Lorist didn't understand what he was talking about, used some effort under his feet, Viscount Yaslan screamed ...

"Yes, where did you just say?" Lorist was so interrupted that he forgot what he was saying just now.

"Lord(s), you just announced the guilt of Viscount Yaslan. First, he disrespects you and provokes us Norton Family." Schwartz next to reminded.

"Oh, by the way, second, why are you paralyzed to collect taxes from my family Territory? Who gave you courage? Labor must not hang all your family members ..." Lorist cursed fiercely .

The Viscount Yaslan at his feet suddenly quieted down, and in his right hand, he didn't know which clothes and clothes pockets he took out a small roll of animal skin bundled with a wire rope and waved in the air.

"What is this?" Charade grabbed the animal skin volume, untied it, and said with a voice: "Lord(s), this Viscount is really here to collect taxes. You see, this is what Second Highness gave to his tax inspector. Letter of appointment. "

Lorist kicked off Viscount Yaslan: "Get up, there is something to ask you."

After taking the animal skin paper from Charade, it reads that it is hereby appointing the court Viscount Yaslan Robioson as the tax inspector for Andinak Kingdom Jillin Harbor and Silowas Islands Count Norton. I hope that this official will perform his duties with integrity, integrity, and dedication, and dedicate himself to the restoration of Empire.

The lower part of the animal skin volume is signed with the name Second Highness, Krissen Ogsereau, Grindia common calendar May 23, 1678, with the signature and date stamped with the private seal of the Regent King of Andinak Kingdom and Second Highness.

"Ah, Viscount Yaslan Lord(s) is really a tax inspector appointed by Second Highness, I thought it was a liar!" Lorist remembered that Viscount Yaslan said on the ground just now that I am the tax inspector of Second Highness, I have a letter of appointment ... instead of thinking that he was talking back, it was Viscount Yaslan who slapped and said it was unclear.

"You, you dare to do this to me! You and you Norton Family will be waiting for the thunder of the two Second Highness. The 300,000 army of Second Highness will turn you and your Norton Family into a fan powder ..." Viscount Yaslan got up from the ground and covered her face, staring resentfully at Lorist.

"300,000 troops? Oh, I'm so scared. I can't think of you as a **** Viscount in the minds of Second Highness. I would send 300,000 troops to destroy our Norton Family for you. It's scary. Since you said that Second Highness will dispatch 300,000 troops for you, is it because you came here to collect taxes because Second Highness is behind the instructions, so the more taxes are collected? Say! "Lorist yelled, Viscount Yaslan jumped up in shock. .

"Don't you see my letter of appointment?" Viscount Yaslan is still talking hard.

"Oh, since you are a tax inspector from Second Highness, why did you run away in the square just now?"

"I didn't run away, I just went to the boat to get my letter of appointment as proof of my identity. It was your family soldier(s) who broke in and offended me."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you are still arguing and pleading not guilty. Anyway, in a few days I will take you to Imperial Capital to confront Second Highness. See if he has instructed you to increase the tax rate, then you will know "Els ..." cried Lorist.

"Lord(s), please order." Els stepped forward.

"You and Jim tied this **** Viscount to a hanger outside, first stripped off my clothes, and then gave me a fifteen whip. He dare hit our Hugo father three whip, then we Just pay it back ten times. After the fight, apply some glue to coat him, and then put some feathers and duck feathers on it. Don't forget how Northern Land treats those crooks ... "Lorist said lazily.

"Yes, Lord(s), I know that the custom of Northern Land is to stick to feathers and scammers, and we will do it properly." Els replied.

"Observe, Lord(s)." It was Jim so simply.

Then Viscount Yaslan's killing voice sounded: "No! You can't do this! I'm Aristocrat(s), I'm an Second Highness tax inspector ..."
