This Cheat Is Too Much

This Cheat Is Too Much Chapter 162

The next day, when it was still bright, there was already a long queue outside the city gate of Doza Fort.

Although Doza Fort has the word "fort" in its name, it is actually a large city with a permanent population of more than 300,000.

Because of the convenient transportation and complete roads, it is very suitable for the transaction of bulk goods. As long as there is a famous Great Chamber of Commerce in Falan, most of them will choose to open a branch here.

The group of businessmen are born potential believers of Fortune Goddess. After gathering enough businessmen, it has also become one of several "churches" of Fortune Church.

A grand gathering is held every year in Doza Fort. This gathering has two main purposes, one is to praise the grace of Goddess of wealth, and the other is to exchange news and sell a lot of goods. So in addition to the Great Chamber of Commerce, there are many small and medium-sized Chamber of Commerce, and even some small businessmen will come to join in the fun.

As the sun rises higher and higher, the queue outside the city gate of Doza Fort is also getting longer and longer. The voices of people, shouts, and the neighing of horses and livestock form a bustling scene.

A thin old fogey was lying on the top of the city, staring at the carriages full of goods, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Mara Grady is Kane's uncle, although he did not inherit the actual title, but after Kane went to the capital to negotiate, he became the most senior of the three marquis. , took over the task of looting wealth.

He stared happily at the people who filed in, looking at these caravans as if looking at big fat sheep

Follow Kane before leaving The temporary tax that was set up, this time the Greedy family’s harvest is estimated to be on par with the output of the previous marquis for several years. What kind of meat are these “fat sheep”? De!

After hearing about the heavy tax that almost doubled, the businessmen at the city gate complained one after another, but after all, they all came, and they barely made a profit, so they finally had to choose with resentment. Pay to go to town.

Mara looked at the sullen faces of the businessmen happily, and cursed with great relief:

Shit! All the wealth in the territory was originally owned by the lord, and these merchants were nothing more than blood-sucking leeches.

Why do they only meet once a year? How nice it would be to meet once a month! If that's the case, this Doza fort is so good that it won't give you a Dukedom.

Thinking of this, there was a look of regret on Mara's face.

It's a pity that this hen that can only lay golden eggs is borrowed and has to be returned to others in the end. Even if the kid Kane tried his best, he would only be able to delay it for a month, sooner or later here. To be taken back by the royal family.

Unwilling to look at the long queue below, the old man stood up suddenly, and called his entourage with a grim face.

"Go and tell the tax officer at the door, because you need to help the businessmen maintain order, so this time the tax will be increased by 50%!"

The attendant was frightened. He jumped, and quickly persuaded:

"Lord Mara, more than half of Falan's Great Chamber of Commerce is here. Isn't it bad to temporarily increase the tax? And Lord Kane's tax has already passed... It's in place, if you add more, no one will come here in the future!"

The old man scolded him angrily: "Idiot! We will be leaving in a month, and we will take over at that time. It's the royal family, why don't these businessmen care about me?"

The entourage still shook his head in horror. "Lord Mara, but we are the ones who collect the taxes. We, the Grady family, still took the money for the Marquis from the Fortune Church, this..."

"Oh, a bunch of lowly people It's just businessmen, is it possible that these blood-sucking leeches dare to take revenge on us?"

"But...the Church of Fortune is behind them..."

"Shut up !"

Mara snarled angrily, and

raised his cane and swiped fiercely on the follower's face, leaving a hideous blood imprint.

"Of course I know that behind them is the Fortune Church."

"The Church of Knowledge has the Pope in the seat of Falan, and the Church of Eros is guarded by the professional Legion. We cannot afford to offend these two churches, but The Fortune Church is just a group of loose businessmen, they don't even have their own church, you're so scared!"

"Shut up your stinky mouth for me now, go to the tax officer immediately, and tell He and I want to raise taxes!"

Mara sneered and held out a thin hand.

"Add 50% to the tax set by Kane, no! 60%! If there is any dissatisfaction, I will deduct its goods! If someone dares to make trouble, just throw it in Go to jail!"

The attendant ran down the blood imprint covering his face to give orders, and soon, angry questions from the merchants came from the city gate.

"Are you going to increase taxes? Are you crazy!"

"The tax here is already twice as high as other places, so what are we going to do if we add another 60%? "

"With such a high tax, I'd rather go back the same way than go to the city!"

These businessmen from the Great Chamber of Commerce were enraged and surrounded the tax officer one by one Cursing, the besieged tax officer with a face of not knowing what to do hurriedly shouted: "Guards! Guards!"

A group of guards in armor came from the station beside the city gate They filed out and quickly dispersed the surrounding businessmen, then lined up in two rows in front of the city gate, glare staring at them like a tiger watching his prey.

After seeing the fierce appearance of these guards, some small businessmen backed away. If they were to be taxed so heavily, then this trip would be no different from running in vain. Find a place to dispose of the goods cheaper first.

With the mentality of "cannot afford to offend?", more than a dozen smaller caravans drove their livestock and prepared to leave. Mara on the city gate saw this. After a scene, I jumped up and down in a hurry.

These people are all living money, how could they just let them run away?

He pulled his neck and shouted: "Someone! Go and call out the City Guard, and none of the merchants at the door are allowed to leave!"

The City Guard who received the order rushed I went out and drove back all the caravans that were trying to leave. On the contrary, many small merchants with only one or two cars ran away.

However, when they got together with lingering fears and scolded the shameless of the Greddy family, they ran into another Legion head-on.

You actually sent someone to copy it in front of you? Even small businessmen like us are not spared. As for doing so absolutely?

After discovering the Legion in front of them, these businessmen were full of grief and indignation.

These small businessmen are different from those in the Great Chamber of Commerce. More than half of their net worth is on the carriage behind them. If they are really blocked, some people may not even have the capital to do business again. .

"I fought with you guys!"

Seeing that there is no way to go to heaven, no way to go, a businessman probably can't accept the cruelty of reality, and actually drove the carriage to the Legion ahead rushed over.

Seeing that someone took the lead, many small businessmen also had red eyes and chose to follow him and rushed up, still holding unrealistic hopes in their hearts.

It doesn't look like there are many people on the opposite side. There are only about a thousand people. Although the ordinary person's impact on the regular army is equal to courting death, what if? What if you can really rush out of the way!

However, with a loud bang, the last hope of these businessmen was also extinguished.

A Knight with a silver helmet turned over and dismounted, stopped the galloping carriage with one hand, and then only gently supported the huge carriage to the ground like a toy, and the cargo on it was overturned by him. Falls all over the place.

The little businessman who was driving jumped up, took out his dagger, and threw it with red eyes.

"Come on! You damn nobles, just kill me!"

......

Who is this person?

William frowned suspiciously, curling his fingers and flicking it out.

With a crisp sound, the dagger in the small businessman's hand shattered into pieces, and the huge force attached to it easily tore his jaws.

"Who are you? Why are you rushing into the army?"

After hearing William's question, the businessman, who was clutching his hands in despair, suddenly raised his head, his face full of hopelessness The joy of being born: "You...you are not from the Grady family?"

After hearing the little businessman's words, William and Jessica looked at each other.

The family behind Kane is really doing something!

"We are here to take over Doza Castle, and not only Doza Castle, but the three marquis sold by the Farrell family will all return to the arms of the Falan royal family."

The little businessman was overjoyed hearing this. With Avril's years of hard work, the royal family's reputation was much better than the frantically searched Greddy family. He quickly explained:

"This Sir... this sir, today is the day when the Chamber of Commerce is holding a meeting. We are all small businessmen who want to bathe in the glory of the Goddess of wealth.

However, the Greedy family suddenly attacked and temporarily We have set a heavy tax that is nearly four times the usual amount, we can't afford to pay and we are going to leave, but they actually arrest people and detain the goods..."

After listening to the complaint of the small businessman, William's brows furrowed.

Although he is still a member of the Falan royal family in name, he will be responsible for his own profits and losses in the future. After all, he has already resigned to start a business, so he can't go back to the parent company for money, right?

even more how, I am now preparing to sabotage President Ai's listing (gate) plan. If I go back and ask her for money and food, I might as well just hit her to death.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards Doza Castle in the distance.

Fortunately, I came early, otherwise the three marquis would be hollowed out. If so, I might have to go back to Avril for a soft meal.

He made up his mind to rub against Queen Your Majesty's chest, crying and begging for shelter, while shouting "rich lady help me, I don't want to work hard", William's There was a flash of horror in his eyes.

The temptation of this proposal is too strong, I almost wavered!

In these few seconds, countless and various scenes passed through his mind, but under the maintenance of [ambitious face], he still maintained a rather deep look.

Looking at William's cold (thinking) indifferent (entering) tall (not) arrogant (not) face, the little businessman's heart just climbed up from the ice hole, fell down again with a thud, and was more than It was cold before.
