Chapter 178: New Benefits for the Church of Wealth

The old man Cameron on the other end of the ring still didn't seem to be at ease enough, so he deliberately instructed more:

"If you really can't get out, I can hold on for an extra week, and if it's more extreme, then half a month, in short, don't let Karina know, and don't do this through the Jinsara Chamber of Commerce......"

William nodded with a complicated expression.

I'm sorry, although I don't know what you're hiding, but the expression of the little rich woman tells me that it's probably a secret that will kill you socially.

I deeply sympathize with this and empathize with it, after all, I was in a hurry when I "came", and I didn't have time to clear the browser records......

After seeing William nodding, the sound of the old man Cameron's relaxed exhalation came from the other side of the ring, and he solved the chrysanthemum ...... With a lot of trouble in his heart, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"That's right. ”

As if he had suddenly remembered something, he asked curiously:

"You didn't have any smell of fate on you before, but now you're actually a first-order [Mystic], don't you ......?"

After hearing Old Man Cameron's words, the corners of William's mouth curled slightly, Yes, you guessed correctly, I am the legendary peerless genius.

"Are you an orphan?"

“......”

(a plant)

After not hearing William's reply for a long time, the old man Cameron on the other end of the ring said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, my words may be too blunt, but this is indeed the truth, the more people who have been helpless in the face of fate, the stronger the desire to change fate, the deeper the entanglement with fate, and the better the talent in the fate sequence.

People who lose their parents at an early age are often more able to appreciate the powerlessness in the face of fate, and have a deeper understanding of fate, so nine out of ten professionals who have successfully stepped into the sequence of fate are orphans whose parents have died. ”

William raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about the rest of the one?"

Old man Cameron sighed deeply and replied:

"I don't have any blood relatives anymore. ”

Other words...... Dead a household register......

William frowned and didn't speak, feeling in his heart that this sequence really shouldn't be called fate, it should be called Tiansha Lone Star.

Seeing William's cold (face) and indifferent (paralyzed) face through the round mirror technique, old man Cameron seemed to remember the cynical self of his youth.

He sighed and admonished earnestly:

"Although I know that most of what I say is useless, I still hope that you will not continue on the fate sequence, the profession of the fate sequence is destined to be accompanied by misfortune. ”

After thinking back on his entanglement with the Farrell family, Old Man Cameron sighed:

"When you're struggling to move forward, if you want to go further, you have to meddle in other people's fate. But even if you are willing to be a bystander, turning a blind eye to the miserable and absurd things? They still have to suffer the most painful consequences. ”

......

After hearing the teacher's deep introspection? The little rich woman under the window was almost unable to hold on.

At first, she was still lamenting the cruelty of fate together, but when she heard the extremely "painful" "consequences"? A ring with a thorn popped into her mind.

Karina desperately covered her mouth and nose? I almost suffocated myself, but in the end I couldn't hold back? A suppressed muffled smile came out of his fingers.

After hearing the strange noise, the old man Cameron, who was originally like a philosopher, broke the defense in an instant? Panicked asked:

"What's the sound over there? Is Karina back?"

In order to save the last shred of face for the teacher? The little rich woman covered her mouth and resolutely climbed up the window, just when she was about to go out of the window and find a place to have a good laugh? There was a knock at the door.

"Miss Karina? Hurry up to the front hall!" came the servant's anxious voice outside the door.

"President Lolita is injured!"

......

"I said it was nothing, it was just an accident!"

The silver-haired old lady glared angrily at the crowd and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you get trampled on when you danced with others?"

Jessica held her with a guilty look on her face and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault?" Why don't you find a place to rest first? ”

"It's okay, I can still stand!"

The old lady glared at the waiter who wanted to come over and help? Said angrily: "It's not a big deal, just rest for a while?" What do you have to make everyone know?"

While she was scolding the waiters for making a fuss, Karina hurried over with William in tow.

"Aunt Lolita? Why are you hurt?"

The old lady shook her head and smiled, "Nothing serious?" Find a priest to rule the ...... Hmm, why did your clothes get torn?"

The old lady looked suspiciously at Karina, who was full of anxiety? Soon something was wrong, not only was the child's clothes torn, but his chest was suddenly deflated, and his face was strangely flushed......

This......

As an old lady who came over, she couldn't help but have some discordant associations.

She squinted her eyes and looked at William, and found that he was neatly dressed and looked so neat, and she was immediately a little confused.

It shouldn't be...... Could it be that after all these years, something new has come out that I don't know......

At this moment, the female knight's sincere apology interrupted her memories.

"It's all my fault, I remember to pay attention to my steps at first, and then I ...... Later, I jumped and forgot about ......"

After hearing Jessica's explanation, William subconsciously looked at his shoes that were on the verge of being scrapped, and immediately knew what had just happened.

The knightess handed over the task of supporting the old lady to Karina, then bit her lip and bowed deeply.

"It's all my fault, and if I can, I hope to make amends......"

"What compensation is compensated. ”

The old lady withdrew her suspicious eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You have refused several times, I have to pull you to jump, and besides, stepping on a foot is not a big deal, why make such a fuss?"

She took Jessica's hand, patted it gently, and then said with a kind face:

"When I saw you, I felt very kind, as if I saw myself when I was young, the old woman has been alone for more than 60 years, and she has no son or daughter, if you really want to make amends, then come and see me more......"

Her words really moved Jessica, the female knight has almost never felt the taste of family affection since she was a child, and this is the most unbearable.

Finding that Jessica's eyes were shining with water, and seeing that she was about to pounce directly to confess her relatives, William hurriedly stepped forward and divided the scene of the mother's love and filial piety, and said with a sincere face:

"Although you don't feel that you need compensation, we can't just admit it with peace of mind, so that in the future, as long as you are a believer in the Church of Wealth, you can be exempted from most of the taxes when doing business in my territory, as my worship to the goddess of wealth, and I hope she can protect your safety. ”

As soon as William's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.

Although this reason is, no one cares about what does not step on the foot, this is a tax exemption, and it seems that there is more than one.

Just as the crowd began to talk, a merchant squeezed out, first saluted William respectfully, and then asked cautiously:

"Lord William, may I ask what most of the taxes you have mentioned, and what exactly do you cover, and will you add new ones after they are abolished?"

William looked up and down and found that he was a little familiar, and after a careful look, he thought, isn't this the little businessman who launched a "charge" against him before?

Seeing that William didn't speak for a long time, but looked himself up and down, Jose's heart suddenly rose, and he faintly regretted why he came out to ask this.

It's just that he really can't help but ask, his goods haven't been taken off yet, and the tax exemption that the new lord said is also a disguised raid, then what awaits him and his daughter will be a cruel future......

The surrounding merchants, though not as urgent as he was, were quiet, waiting for William's answer, either fearfully or expectantly.

William looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a look of vicissitudes on his face, and said thoughtfully: "I remember you, you are the merchant who wants to bribe me." ”

Jose's body shook, a trace of bitterness appeared in his mouth, and he nodded hurriedly: "Lord William, please forgive me, I was just a little curious, so I asked a ......"

"It's fine. ”

William waved his hand and said with a flat face: "This question is very good, but if you don't ask, I will say it, and the taxes I am going to exempt are-road maintenance tax, checkpoint tax, city entry tax, ......"

Every time William said a tax, the merchants' eyes became more excited.

Under this aristocratic system of "personal dependence", the lord has almost the right to kill and kill the people, so the freedom to collect taxes is also amazing.

Sometimes a trade route is obviously very good, but as long as there is a lord in the middle who has to pay heavy taxes, many merchants can only take a long detour or simply change to a new trade route, and this tax situation is also one of the information exchanged with each other during the meeting.

Now, if these chaotic taxes are abolished all together, then at least in these three marquises, all trade routes will be unimpeded, which is an unbelievable good thing.

William's words continued, and one after another taxes were banned, and every time the merchants thought it was the last, there was still the next tax in his mouth.

"Timberland tax, brewing tax, mill tax, and ...... Arbitrary taxes, that's all there is to it, and the rest of the taxes still have to be paid. ”

As soon as William's words ended, the surrounding discussion immediately rang out, and almost everyone was happy, especially the last arbitrary tax, which simply scratched the soft flesh of all merchants.
