Lin Yi also began to manage some large and small affairs in the city, and found that Ling Jiuyan and the three major families had indeed gone too far.

I don't know if I don't know it, I am shocked when I see it, the laws in this city are simply tailored for them, and they have become their words.

The tax rate of Nebula City is as high as 50% of the total profit!

That is to say, if you earn a hundred taels of silver, you have to pay a tax of fifty taels.

And that's nothing, it's just a tax handed over to the lord of the city according to the law.

The entire Nebula City is divided into three territories, each of the three major families holds a piece, as long as it is within their jurisdiction, they must pay them a tax of 30% of the total profits, otherwise they will be driven away.

In this way, the city lord will receive fifty percent, the three major families will receive thirty percent, and only two percent will be left for the common people.

Others worked hard for a year, and the final income was only 20%, and the common people could be said to be miserable, while the city lord's mansion and the three major families made a lot of money.

This also makes it possible to see people starving to death in many parts of Nebula City because of lack of food.

Ordinary people will be severely responsible for breaking the law, and officials can be exempted from crime as long as they pay money for breaking the law.

If you kill a civilian, you only need to pay five taels of silver to reduce your sentence, pay one hundred taels to parole, and three hundred taels of silver to be directly acquitted.

This has also caused many, many officials to treat human life as if they were cats and dogs.

"Nonsense, it's too nonsense!" Lin Yi looked at the law written in clear text on it, and couldn't help but scold.

There is nothing wrong with collecting taxes, but it is a heinous crime to use taxes as a means of making money.

"City Lord Lin, I think these grievances have to be reformed. Dewey stood aside and suggested.

"When no one is around, you still call me Senior Lin Yi, it's awkward to call me the city lord. Lin Yi said.

"Well, well, I don't feel used to it either. Dewey smiled.

"You're right, it's really time to reform, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, this kind of high tax should have been banned a long time ago, I decided to remove all the taxes of the three major families, and only collect them by the city lord's mansion. ”

"Originally, it was charged at 50% of the net profit, but now it is reduced to 10% of the net profit, as long as it can maintain the expenses required by the government in the city. ”

Anyway, Lin Yi is not short of money, he has the Blue Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and he has a large number of pills and spirit wine formulas in his hands, as long as they are listed, they can be sold as soon as they are listed, and there is no need to oppress the people to obtain benefits at all.

He believed that as long as he managed it well, the Lin family would be able to maintain the operation of the entire family through these incomes when they came to Nebula City.

"Only charge 10 percent? Will this be too little? I look at the thirteen cities of the Tianma Empire, the most charge 60 percent, and the least also charge 40 percent. Dewey was worried that because he collected too little, he would arouse the hostility of the other twelve city lords.

"Don't worry, we'll do it, if they're not happy, just let them come to me, the enemy won't offend me, I won't offend anyone, I don't mind charging a few more cities myself. Lin Yi smiled slightly, obviously no other city lord took it seriously.

Seeing Lin Yi's insistence, Dewey had no choice but to comply.

Soon, the announcement of the City Lord's Mansion was sent out and posted in the city.

Each notice was filled with the latest new rules announced by the City Lord's Mansion.

When every rule came out, everyone screamed and couldn't believe it was true.

"What? In the future, only one percent of the tax will be charged?"

"Yes, it is clearly written, it is clear, and there will be no fakes. ”

"Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, look here, isn't there still the Great Seal of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

When everyone saw that there was really a big seal, they immediately put their hearts at ease.

"Look, you see, not only did the tax rate be lowered, but it also gave us land miles!"

"Each family gets the land according to the capitation, and each person has the right to trade, rent and sell the land, and the adult man gets five acres of land, and the old and young women and children get three acres of land..."

"Every holiday, marriage, funeral, etc., will be given at least three days off..."

"If there is a violation of the law, whether it is an official or a citizen, it will be treated equally, and no money will be used to atone for the crime. ”

These reforms are so good for the common people that they can't even believe that they are true.

Many people shouted and gathered at the gate of the city lord's mansion, wanting to see the city lord with their own eyes and ask whether these things were true or false.

"Rest assured, these things are true, and there is no lie!" Lin Yi stood on a high place, looked at the people below, and said loudly.

"Great! Long live the Lord of the Forest City!"

"I'm not lazy this year, with such a good policy, I will work hard every day in the future, 365 days a year!"

"I'm going to go and move all my other relatives to Nebula City, and the taxes in other cities alone will cost at least fifty or sixty miles!"

Looking at the cheering people below, Lin Yi also nodded with satisfaction.

The disciples of Nebula Academy were also very excited when they saw this scene, and Lin Yi also arranged them to various positions to be responsible for the security work of Nebula City.

It won't be long before these things will spread to the entire empire, and it is inevitable that some people will resent them and send people to secretly attack them.

"I think another policy should be issued, which is to build a junior academy so that children who have reached the age of 10 can enroll in martial arts, so that everyone can learn martial arts and improve the physical fitness of the whole city. Lin Yi gathered all the core members and discussed together.

At this time, he became the city lord of Nebula City, sitting in the center, Xiao Yuanshan and the others could only sit aside, and now Xiao Yuanshan and other high-level leaders of Nebula Academy have become Lin Yi's staff and give him advice.

"It's not impossible to build an academy, but it's a lot of money compared to the cost. Xiao Yuanshan frowned slightly, he had been the dean for many years, so he naturally knew that building and maintaining an academy would cost huge expenses.

"This doesn't matter, Ling Jiuyan and the three major families have taken over the family, and with this fee alone, it must be possible to build an academy that can accommodate 10,000 people. ”

"We can sign an agreement with these students to train talents in the future, and we will let them accept some mercenary tasks, dart games and the like, and the income they earn, part of which will be given to the academy, which is regarded as education funds for many years, so that the academy can maintain its operation in the future. Lin Yi thought for a while and said.

Everyone practices martial arts, not only can strengthen their health, but also protect their families and defend the country, in this way, all the people are soldiers, even if they leave Nebula City in the future and go to other places, the local people can also rely on their own strength and not be bullied by outsiders.

"Well, this method of Lord Lin is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is really a blessing for the people!" Xiao Yuanshan nodded appreciatively.
