Although the public opinion of the traders seems to be different, in fact, they are all deliberate in the hope that the tax will be reduced.

In fact, the taxes in Dasai City are already very low, but the merchants are heavy on profits and greedy, and they always think that it would be better if they could be lower, lower, and it would be better to be exempted from taxes, and that would be a good city lord in the past!

If you really do this, then you will become a stupid city lord in the past.

Without taxes, the traders are naturally happy, how can the country operate?

If the country can't operate, it won't be far from the country.

Naturally, you traders are not affected by anything, so it's a big deal to drag your family to spread the rolls and continue to do business on a different mountain.

The high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Cyberjaya can not!

Once there is no country, they are fish on the chopping board, and others can cut it however they want.

After listening to this, the dignitaries present did not have any angry attitude, but some people asked leisurely: "How many of these people's voices and public opinions are the meaning of the clansmen?" ”

Prime Minister Lesta shook his head and said, "Not a single one, most of them are the former Eri City traders who have fled here. ”

"Hmph" snorted, and another dignitary sneered: "It seems that the tax collected from them is too low, and it must be mentioned, Your Majesty, I suggest that the tax of the former merchants in Eri City be raised to the same level as the tax paid in Eri City." ”

"No," said Prime Minister Lesta, "it will break the hearts of those who identify with us!" ”

"So what?" The dignitary rolled his eyes and said: "Dasai City is the world of my orc race, and it is not the world of those traders and pawns, or it hurts their hearts, at most, let those guys roll up and roll people away, anyway, no matter where they go, they will be full of complaints and resentment, it is better to drive this kind of people away, and it will also save negative energy to infect our people." ”

"It's a bit extreme" on the side, another dignitary shook his head and said: "You are in charge of education, your heart is upright, and you never complain, which is a great good thing for the cause of education, but your set of ideas is not applicable to the business of traders, all the traders in the world pay attention to two points, one is fame, the other is profit, but in the end, their name only exists for profit, so the essence of the trader is profit, as the so-called 'profitable, will stay, unprofitable, will turn around and leave', don't underestimate this ordinary proverb, in fact, its meaning is very deep and mixed, such as this time the public voice of the traders reported, have you ever wondered, why are the reports are foreign traders? Why is it all about taxation? As a matter of fact, the taxes paid throughout the country are adjusted according to the level of the regional economy, and the share of taxes is very low, except for a few people who are really greedy, is it possible that the city lords of some towns and cities have raised their taxes privately, or simply take pleasure in bullying foreign traders? ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said earnestly: "But don't think that your own people must have no problems, many times, it is precisely your own people who may really be pitted by yourself." ”

You are silent, even the extremist is silent.

This dignitary, who looks the same age as the orc king, has a fairly comprehensive vision.

The orc king looked around, and saw that no one squeaked, so he said: "In this case, set up an investigation team, according to the location of the reported traders, investigate one by one, if our own people do not do well, immediately impose heavy fines, as punishment, if the traders are greedy and demanding, then raise the tax rate, raise it to the same high tax as the original residence of the traders, the first time the penalty is three months, if the offense is repeated, the penalty is one year, and those who do not change their ways will be deported." ”

The attendant wrote them down one by one, and then walked out quickly.

The public opinion of the foreign traders has been temporarily resolved, but the public opinion of the border nomads has come again.

The difference between the public opinion and the foreign traders this time is even more troubling, that is, there are foreign adventurers who sneak attack them, rob cattle and sheep, plunder property, abuse women, etc., making them unbearable and miserable.

They also reported to the lord of the town where they belonged, and the lord also increased the manpower to guard the perimeter and increase patrols in order to reduce the losses of the herders.

However, those foreign adventurers are like voles, clustered in the east and west, uncertain, and good at guerrillas, disturbing the nomadic residents and the adventurer team guarding the residents.

In desperation, the city lords of several towns reported in person and explained the matter one by one, waiting for the holy judgment.

Naturally, the Orc King would not adjudicate the incompetence of these city lords, after all, the frontier has limited manpower and great pressure, and it is not easy to do what it is now.

But we can't give up those nomads, one is our own people, and I have the obligation to protect them, and abandoning them will lead to instability and fear of mutiny.

Mutiny is the deadliest poison for a country.

The orc king frowned in contemplation, and on his rough and sunny face, there was a faint gloom that did not match his temperament.

"Xiao Yi" he raised his head and looked at me for the first time: "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

My eyes twitched, and I wondered, "I don't know how to answer you if you ask me that coldly." ”

"Then tell me what you think now," said the orc king, "it doesn't matter what comes to mind, and if you don't say it well." ”

After a moment's hesitation, I said: "Speaking of which, I have only encountered this kind of thing once, that is, the time when I worked with foreign adventurers to suppress bandits, so I don't have any detailed plans and feasible suggestions, but I have a point of view, that is, to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, spare no effort to kill all the invaders, it is best to make the other party feel pain in the flesh once, and when it hurts, it will be afraid, will be worried, will not hurt, and never repent." ”

"I agree with him," said the old duke, "we must spare no effort and mobilize all the forces we can to kill all the invaders, and leave no one behind, and seek justice for the innocent inhabitants persecuted by the invaders!" ”

Seeing that the old duke reacted so violently, the orc king smiled bitterly and said, "You sit down first, don't get excited, don't hurt your body." ”

The old duke leaned back slowly, sat back in his chair with a plop, and exhaled softly.

Seeing that the old duke sat back in his seat safely, the orc king breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You also heard just now, the invaders are quite cunning, and often use guerrilla tactics to commit crimes everywhere, which is not easy to round up, and it is laborious, and over time, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of burden to the adventurers guarding the frontier." ”

"Worry about the country, that's glory!" The old duke said righteously: "Only when there is a country can there be a home, and only when there is a family can there be happiness, this truth does not need to be said, everyone knows it." ”

"What you say," the Orc King smiled bitterly, "but can you guarantee that every citizen will follow the meaning of this sentence?" ”
