"My lord, the roster is here, and the money due from every household is marked on it, you see...... How much will the interest be set this time? ”

The village chief took out a list of villagers and handed it to Chen Bu, with a smile on his face.

Chen Bufu sat on an old bench, which had been prepared for him by the village chief, and in a moment he would sit here and start collecting taxes.

Chen Bufu casually flipped through the roster handed over by the village chief, and put the roster aside.

"You don't see adults, there are a total of fifty-nine families and one hundred and ninety-five people on the roster."

Chen Bufu raised his head and glanced at the village chief: "Well, I know." ”

The village chief of Ma Tengkong Village is surnamed Ma, a middle-aged uncle who seems to be a loyal and honest farmer.

However, judging from the performance he had just given himself in what he had just said, Chen Bufu felt that he would not be deceived by his loyal and honest face.

"My lord, the interest on this tax ...... Look at ......" Village Chief Ma saw that Chen couldn't speak, and brought up the matter of interest again.

Chen Bufu glanced at Village Chief Ma coldly: "Interest? Didn't you help me tell the villagers that I want to reduce the interest......"

Village Chief Ma's smile instantly filled his face: "Yo, my lord, you are really a reasonable person, I just told the villagers that you may... We will be exempted from interest this time, but I didn't expect that you would really want to reduce the interest in our village, you are really a good person, wow, you will ...... our interest."

Chen Bubu interrupted Village Chief Ma's compliment, and said directly: "Before coming here, Qi Baihu told me that he would charge an additional interest of forty-six gold coins. ”

At this moment, Village Chief Ma's face turned dark, he looked at Chen Bufu and said, "My lord, aren't you joking?" ”

Chen Bufu chuckled: "Heh, joke? Isn't it a joke for you to make your own decisions and tell the villagers about the reduction of interest without my consent? ”

"I didn't say you'd get the interest waived, I just said...... A kind-hearted adult like you will surely be considerate of us poor farmers, and you may be kind enough to waive our interest money this time. ”

Seeing that Village Chief Ma looked like I didn't say anything to death, and I didn't use affirmative sentences for anything, Chen didn't really want to slap him to the earthen wall on the side, but he couldn't pick it off.

"My lord, if you insist on charging such a high interest, I don't dare to guarantee that every household can pay it, those poor people are forced to be in a hurry, but they can do anything, even if you are sent by Qi Baihu......" Village Chief Ma put on a stinky face, and there was a threat hidden in his words.

Chen Bu didn't pay attention to the hidden danger in Village Chief Ma's words, he got up and glanced at the villagers who were about to line up to pay taxes, many of the villagers had yellow faces and thin skins, and their clothes were ragged.

Chen Bufu was deeply sympathetic to the living standards of the villagers, but he was deeply disgusted by the actions of Village Chief Ma.

Now there is nothing like making money to buy a piece of land, which can make players feel more happy.

What Chen Bufu has to do now is to earn more money through normal game methods, buy a large piece of land and land deeds, and at the same time stimulate other players to strive for the goal of small landlords, he can also enjoy the feeling of being a rich man in the countryside.

As for tax deductions?

Chen Bufu said that of course he could reduce the tax this time, because he didn't need too much money, but ...... It will definitely not be free.

Chen Bu is not a holy light attribute knight, the kind of person who gives up all his task rewards in order to make the NPC peasants' lives better, is either a fool or a role-playing cancer patient.

Chen didn't look back and said to the village chief of Ma: "I think so too, the extra interest of forty-six is indeed very high, so ...... After the notice, I decided to charge only half of the interest, so that everyone was ready, and the tax will start in a moment. ”

From heaven to hell, it is only when there are contrasts and gaps that a sense of happiness and tragedy can be generated.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Village Chief Ma's eyes, but he quickly said to Chen Bu without repeating himself: "Ah, you don't see your lord, you are really a generous and benevolent person, and the villagers of Ma Tengkong Village will be very happy to learn this exact news." ”

"Remember, half of the interest is twenty-three gold coins, plus the original two hundred and thirty ice and charity money, a total of two hundred and fifty-three gold coins, put away your little cleverness for me, these money, not a single one is missing."

Chen Bufu didn't notice the change in the expression on Village Chief Ma's face, but for the sake of insurance, he still informed Village Chief Ma of the definite amount, because in order to realize his future game career plan, this tax must have two hundred and forty gold coins in his account.

"Uh, I see, you don't see your lord."

Village Chief Ma nodded to Chen Buying, and announced loudly to the villagers in the audience with a dark face: "Listen to me, Lord Jun has decided to reduce the interest on this tax by half, so every family must ...... their own share."

After clarifying the amount of the tax, the tax collection went smoothly, and the villagers unconsciously began to talk in a whisper when they were queuing up to pay the money......

"Alas, I have to pay more interest, and I pay ice and charcoal every month, but I can't pay the interest every month."

"Be content! The adults who came to collect taxes this time were much lower than the usual ones. ”

"Yes, yes, I hope that next month's Bing Jing Tan Jing will be collected by him, so that we can pay a lot less."

"Don't think about it, this lord has reduced so much interest for us this time, and it is estimated that he will be dismissed by Qi Baihu if he goes."

"Why do you care so much, it's not something you should worry about, this adult says to pay as much as we want."

“……”

Although the villagers expressed their sadness when they learned that half of the interest would be charged, no one jumped out to say that they were against or rebelled, because the amount of the tax was already the least in their "past memory".

Hey? NPC memories of the past?

No vinegar, the memories of the NPCs!

The NPCs of advanced intelligence have their own memories, but what about the memories they made from nothing and appeared in this world?

How did they grow so big, and what did they go through? Could these NPCs themselves ever be interested in the blank past?

If any highly intelligent NPC is interested in their past, how will they think and make logical judgments, and will there be uncontrollable changes as a result?

Based on this consideration, Chen, who has always been cautious, issued a code for making high-level intelligent NPCs to the system circle.

The first rule of the code for making advanced intelligent NPCs is to implant a 'memory of the past' into each NPC.

This kind of memory is like a basic written record, although it is rare, but it starts from the moment the NPC is 'born', until they actually appear in the world of this dream game, every year, every quarter, there will be a corresponding record, and some important things will also have special picture clip memories, which is not unreal.

Although this memory only exists in the minds of NPCs, these highly intelligent NPCs will subconsciously regard this written record as a memory of the past, so as to have a complete life memory.

For this kind of thing that completes the life of NPCs, Chen Bufu has always liked to do, and he likes to plan everything in an orderly manner.

"An NPC with a complete life memory can be regarded as a good NPC, and in the future, you have to add some interpersonal relationships between NPCs to make this world more complete." Chen Bufu touched his chin and muttered to himself.
