Lord of Plants

Chapter 87 Tax Issues
"Taxes, what do you say?" Lin Mu threatened Mo Niu, Sky Yu, Hill Overlord and Pala just now, saying that he would collect taxes.Lin Mu knew about taxation, but his salary was not up to the standard of being taxed before, so he didn't experience the concept in person.In addition to the taxation of the earth, it is relatively reasonable, unlike the feudal society, where officials have the final say, and they can increase as much as they want, and doubling it is very common.

Lin Mu didn't even understand that for a country, province, city, or even a town, taxation is a very important thing and the biggest source of income.Taxation A city is a symbol of a country, and the development of cities and countries depends on taxation.

The continent of Zeya is still in a half-slave and half-feudal society. Taxes are very heavy. Common people have to pay heavy taxes every year, and almost half of their income is not their own.However, the situation in Hongtu Town is special. In Hongtu Town's previous situation, you can't expect to receive taxes. It's already very good if the state doesn't subsidize it to help it develop.That's why the king generously allocated half of Linyi Province directly to Lin Mu, and said that he would be exempt from tax during his tenure. What else do you think about tax exemption, you can't let the king pay back, right?

"Everyone knew the situation in Hongtu Town at the beginning. It is a great blessing to be self-sufficient, and you can't pay taxes at all. But since Lin Mu took office and became the lord here, and let Hongtu Town grow rice, the output That was an earth-shaking change. One month’s food can feed millions of people. If taxes are to be collected for these three months’ food alone, do you know how much tax the king will get? Now that Lin Mu has established Sanmu City, With a population of more than 100 million, the cultivated area is bound to expand, and by then...the king probably won’t be able to go back on his word.”

The king is the king of the country. Although the whole country belongs to the king, the king's small treasury is actually obtained from taxes, and the king will sometimes be in short supply.Therefore, the king will never let go of any opportunity to increase taxes. When the king received a secret report about the current situation of Hongtu Town, he did not believe it at first, but after repeated confirmation, the king had to believe this fact, and then He was depressed and regretted it too late.

You want to remove the lord of the forest, he is embarrassed, he has just been in office for more than three months, he has done a good job, and he has not made any major mistakes. It is unreasonable for you to remove him for no reason.At this time, a counselor made such a suggestion to the king, not to withdraw but to change, to exchange for a better territory for Linshu, since Linmu can take care of a barren territory so well, we cannot humiliate such a He is a talented person, so he should be given a better territory to let him flex his muscles.

When the king heard this, it was a good idea. If he changed the territory to Lin Mu, then Hongtu Town would not be under the control of Lin Mu, and of course the tax exemption mentioned earlier would be abandoned.As for the tax of the territory where the forest is changed, of course it will not be reduced, on the contrary, it will be increased a little. The king said that he believes in the ability of the forest, and this problem will definitely not trouble him.

Lin Mu understood that the king was clearly here for taxes, and he was shamelessly asking for money. That Earl Ellen was simply the king's tax collector.

"Well, it's understandable that Earl Ellen came to take over my territory. What are the three bandits doing here? Longyang Province is far away from Hongtu Town! They actually brought more than 3 When people come, no one cares about it?"

There are more than 3 people, not 3 ants, and in order to travel, there will be absolutely no shortage of supplies such as horses and mounts.The two guys who manage Longyang Province and Linyi Province don't know about such a large group of people swaggering through the city and entering the country across provinces.You just lie to the undead, that is a bandit group of more than [-] people, a bandit group that burned, killed and looted, even Lin Mu doesn't believe that they don't know.

"That can only explain one thing. Their behavior was turned a blind eye by others, or even deliberately instructed by someone, in order to...get rid of the trees!"

"Ah, kill the young master, why did the thieves kill the young master?" Xiaoya immediately panicked when she heard that the thieves came for the forest. This time, even Wen Yali and Mutter were not calm.Lin Mu raised his eyebrows, he was not surprised by this result, because he already had this guess in his heart.

"It's very simple. Judging from the top strength of the thieves group and their itinerary, they started to set off before the dwarves and goblins joined. The three major thieves groups have a great magister, a The Great Sword Master's Greedy Wolf Bandit Group is the leader, plus two Great Sword Masters, this kind of strength is to deal with Mo Niu, the two patriarchs of Tian Yu, and the wandering people."

"Where is Wen Yali, and Elder Mutt?" There are two more top fighters, and these two are heavyweights, one is a five-line great magister, and the other can transform into a dragon, unless it is Only when the holy ranks come can they dare to say victory.

"There's me too!" Little Loli reminded at the right time, don't forget her existence, she is also a powerful combat force.It's just that everyone treated her like a child, so they ignored her.

"Obviously, they don't know the existence of these two people. If they knew, they would definitely not come to die. The person who asked them to come only told them the existence of Wandering, Mo Niu and Sky Feather, and told them that they only need to Just hold these three people back and let your subordinates kill Lin Shu, and then take away the food."

"Their main purpose is to kill Lin Shu, and the other purpose is to use our hands to kill this group of thieves!" Wen Yali must also take it seriously when it comes to Lin Shu's safety, so she thought of the person behind the scenes. Insidious plan.

Ran shook his head and said: "Things are not that simple, don't forget that there is Earl Ellen! He wants to take over Lin Shu's territory, one is because the king wants taxes, but since Lin Mu can develop the barren Red Earth Town Get up, then you can make a comeback in another place. And as far as I know, the territory of Earl Ellen, although small in size, is rich in mineral resources. It is a rich and enviable territory. Let the trees go to that territory , once the forest grows, the forest will completely suppress the limelight of Earl Allen, which is not acceptable. But if the forest dies, then the town of Red Earth, which has rice and has a very high yield, is a sweet pastry. A treasure that no one else can take away.”
