This Cheat Is Too Much

This Cheat Is Too Much Chapter 180

The so-called arbitrary tax does not mean "any kind of tax", but a tax that the lord can arbitrarily apportion during "public activities" such as wars .

As the name suggests, the amount and proportion of any tax is really up to your heart's content. This kind of unplanned tax is also the most feared thing for all businessmen. Sometimes there is only one unfortunate arbitrary tax between the huge profit and the bankruptcy.

Hearing that this unfortunate tax was canceled, the surrounding businessmen burst into laughter, and Jose even bowed again and again with a flushed face.

"Lord William, if you can really guarantee the elimination of arbitrary taxes, then we...we..."

You blush like a bubble teapot!

William glanced at him and said in a flat tone: "I haven't answered your second question, and it's not without cost to cancel so many taxes, after all, I also need money to maintain my territory, So a new tax will be added."

The businessmen around were hearing this complexion changed one after another, but after thinking about it, most people thought it was still acceptable.

After all, the most feared thing in business is not that the single profit is not high enough, but unexpected situations such as various arbitrary taxes. Taxes are heavier, but at most you will earn less, but once those unexpected situations happen, the injuries are still minor, and it is possible to be deceived and bankrupt.

William said calmly: "The tax I want to collect is called business tax. Take Doza Fort as an example. In the future, there will be a market dedicated to transactions in the city. Transactions that reach a certain level must be placed in the market. proceed, and take a portion of the profits as taxes, if the proportion is..."

The merchants held their breaths and stared at William.

They have a rough estimate of the possible tax proportion. Those messy taxes that have been cut are estimated to add up to 30% or 40% or more, and they will continue to increase with the number of territories they pass through. increase, even up to 70% in some very special cases.

So if those unstable factors can really be avoided, even if Mr. William is going to pay 40% of the heavy tax, he will still make more money than before. abruptly decreased.

"Between 5 and 15 percent."

William thought for a while before pretending to say, "The type of goods, the money The speed of goods turnover and the overall transaction size are different, and the tax rate is also different.

I will send someone to discuss the specific rate with the people from the Chamber of Commerce. The maximum ratio should not exceed fifteen percent."

As soon as William's words were out of his mouth, it was as if a mine had been detonated in a fish pond, and everyone who understood what it meant couldn't sit still.

It's only 15 percent! The city entry tax for many territorial main cities is more than this number, even more how is the upper limit, and it is even possible to get the ultra-low ratio of 5%!

Looking at the bloody businessmen, William smiled and said nothing.

This tax rate is indeed a bit low. After all, this money is not for nothing, and I have to maintain the daily expenses of the territory, but compared with the future benefits, what is a little tax money?

First of all, the most direct benefit is the support of the Fortune Church. Leonard sold the three marquis, and he has only recovered one. The Griddy family bought the marquis and the money was advanced by the Fortune Church. of.

In order to enjoy low tax rates in more places, the Fortune Church, which represents the interests of these businessmen, is likely to stand on its side, and may even take the initiative to help itself obtain territory.

In addition to these, there are some longer-term benefits.

After the "church" of Fortune Church is built, all Falan merchants will come here like crazy. Needless to say, the advantages brought by the gathering of merchants, even if they can't eat so many goods , but the hand that has grasped the fat meat can also get a little oily and watery.

In essence, this low tax rate is sucking the blood of all other territories in Falan. If you switch to another empire, you will definitely be attacked by other nobles. However, the nobles of Falan are different. There are three Major Sects. It will be on the head all the year round, and the sense of competition is almost zero.

In addition, according to the nature of those demon descendants, it is estimated that simply did not take the businessmen seriously. In a short time, I am afraid that they will not realize what this tax rate means, and maybe they will secretly laugh at their own brains. question.

Rather than worrying about these old nobles jumping out to find trouble, it is better to spend more time studying and studying the Three Major Sects. As long as the problem of the gate of the dead country is not resolved, there will be a day of giving tit for tat sooner or later.

William rubbed the ring on his hand and glanced at Karina in the distance, thinking about how the Three Major Sects would be resolved.

These three churches each have a fourth rank or above. The Chief-In-Charge of the Eros Church is the top lady in the dancer sequence. Except for [Man Dancer Legion], which is rather annoying, the overall Not too difficult to deal with.

The Chief-In-Charge of Fortune Church should be Cameron's old man on the other side of the ring. The specific level is not quite clear, but maybe it is a seventh rank powerhouse of the fate sequence, and it also has the Arcane sequence.

Although on the surface looks like it can't be dealt with, he seems to have a problem. In addition, if he is the one who he guessed, he might be able to find a way to win over him. After all, he is also a "prophet" now, so he can be fooled.

The Church of Knowledge is the most difficult to handle. Although the Chief-In-Charge on the surface is Karina of the fourth rank in the Arcane sequence, there is a ninth rank Pope squatting behind it.

Although under normal circumstances, I will definitely not shoot, but if I want to stop the Saints plan, it is almost certain that I will be shot to death, so I must take advantage of the fact that I have not "jumped back". Hurry up and find a chance to explore the bottom...

Just as William was thinking about how to pass the Little Rich Lady stepping on the plate, the old lady stretched out her bruised toe and looked at it, then smiled at The Little Rich Lady next to him said:

"Karina, didn't expect my feet to be so precious, that Mr. William is really generous. By the way, you weren't talking about cooperation before. What did that damned old man say?"

After hearing the old lady's question, Little Rich Lady's face suddenly turned red.

What did the teacher say... The teacher said that he didn't really want to live anymore, but as long as I could keep my mouth shut and don't spread the word about it, he could make do with it for a few more years.

Recalling Cameron's old man's almost inexorable tone, and that thorn... In short, she held back her laughter.

Lightly coughed to cover up her lost self-control, Karina replied her eyes wanderingly: "The cooperation thing... should be done, the specific details will be discussed later, teacher, he told William Very optimistic, and asked me to teach him the Fate Sequence."

"Fate Sequence?"

The old lady frowned, looking at the crowd with a cold (face) pale (paralyzed expression) ) of William, looked thoughtful nodded.

"so that's how it is, it's very similar."

She laughed and said: "When your teacher was his age, the expression on his face was almost the same as his, Everything is hidden in the stomach, and I don't say a word to others, and everyone has a cold expression."

After taking a closer look at William, she looked the head again, denying it. own opinion.

"It's not exactly the same. He's much more handsome than your teacher when he was younger, and he's a bit stronger... eh?"

The old lady's eyes were locked on On the ring on William's index finger, he turned to look at Karina in surprise.

"Isn't that Chamber of Commerce's signet ring! Why did you even give him this?"

Karina shuddered when she heard the word "ring". His face turned redder.

She glanced at William in the distance, turned her head and pretended to be calm: "Because there is some... transaction between teacher and William, I need to ask him to help... send something, so I put The emblem ring is temporarily given to him, um, that's it."

The old lady stared at Little Rich Lady suspiciously, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her, whispering in her ear: " Karina, tell me the truth, what the hell happened just now?"

Karina turned her head blushing, not daring to look into Lolita Aunt's eyes.

"It's nothing... I'm telling the truth."

The old lady sternly looked at the head, and held on to Little Rich Lady's sleeve.

"You are the one I grew up watching, what can't you tell me? is it possible that he... took advantage of you?"

Little Rich Lady stomps After stomping her feet, she said shyly and angrily, "Lolita Aunt, where did you think, nothing really happened just now."

The old lady shook the head, resolutely and decisively, said: "impossible , although your skin is very tender, you definitely won't be blushing when I say a few words, there must have been something I didn't know about just now!"

Seeing that Karina refused to tell her life or death, the old lady was also a little angry Now, she shook off Little Rich Lady's hand and said, "Since you don't say it, I'll go ask him directly!"

Don't ask! You asked if he is still alive!

Little Rich Lady tried to stop her again and again in shock, but Lolita Aunt, who could not overcome her temper, finally gave in.

She bit her lip and sincerely apologized to her teacher.

teacher, you...you and Lolita Aunt grew up playing with Lolita Aunt. When they were young, they went into the river with their bare bottoms and fished together. I only told her that it should...should be fine, right?

Karina blushed and leaned into the old lady's ear, briefly telling her speculation.

"Lolita Aunt, teacher he...blasphemous...Divine Punishment...sacred relic...um...spiky..."

As the topic gradually "deepened" ", the old lady's face was first shocked, then worried, then became a little weird, and finally blushed again after many years.

The old lady, lightly coughed, hid her embarrassment from Junior before patted Karina's back kindly.

"I see, this matter... you shouldn't tell anyone else about it."

Little Rich Lady glanced at her resentfully, if you hadn't said that you would question her face to face , should I speak out about this?

Kalina is nodded in grievances. "Then Lolita Aunt, I'll go and help the teacher get... get the holy relic, you can find a place to sit for a while."

"cough cough, go ahead and leave me alone. I'm done."

However, Karina was just a few steps out when she was stopped by an old man who was about sixty years old.

The old man looked at Little Rich Lady's blushing cheeks and said sullenly, "Karina, what happened before? Did that kid take advantage of you?"

"Eh..."

Karina turned her head in embarrassment and started looking for Lolita Aunt's location, hoping she could explain it to herself.

However, when she found the silhouette of Lolita Aunt, she saw that Lolita Aunt was chatting with another old friend of the teacher, and even took off the ring on her hand and gestured. Several rather questionable moves.

"..."

teacher...you must be strong!
