"What? Lord, do you say it again? What is the tax rate? "Although Oliveira here is very clear but absolutely can't believe it, the 70% tax rate, this is simply not a way to live, it is better to have fewer people, and if there are more people in the family, it is directly starved to death without negotiation, if this tax rate is made public, isn't it the official forcing the people to rebel?

"70 percent, that's the tax rate." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Marshal...... Do you really want to charge such a high tax rate? McCann on this side also immediately said, "It is impossible for the people to accept this tax rate, even in wartime, when the grain and grass are most needed, the tax rate is only 30%, and if you collect 70% of the tax, it will definitely cause the people to resist." ”

"Really?" Li Huailin was happy, "Then hurry up, this is the effect, come, Oliveira, immediately make this tax rate public, and do your best to complete the tax." ”

"This ......" Oliveira hesitated, the matter of collecting taxes has nothing to do with her, the people in her family have been cut down by Li Huailin, and she is the only one left, and she doesn't have to pay taxes if she doesn't have land, so there is no change in favorability, but as the minister of the Ministry of Finance, she has to admonish Li Huailin's indiscriminate tax collection.

"My lord, I think ...... Wow...... Lord Lord, you ......" Oliveira here didn't finish speaking, and Li Huailin here directly slapped Oliveira's chest with a paw.

"Is it a relationship where loyalty is not enough, so much nonsense......" Li Huailin thought that it might be that Oliveira's loyalty was only 57 points, and the relationship with insufficient favorability was always opposed, so he directly improved his loyalty.

System Prompt: Due to your unconsensual sexual harassment of subordinates, Oliveira. Praar's opinion of you has been increased by 45 points, and his current opinion is infatuated.

System Prompt: "Dirty" curse time refreshed.

System Prompt: Due to your unconsensual sexual harassment of subordinates, Oliveira. Praar's loyalty has been increased by 30 points.

"It's okay now." Li Huailin asked while touching Oliveira.

"Collar ...... Lord Lord...... Don't ...... like that," Oliveira put one hand on Li Huailin's shoulder. Holding Li Huailin's hand with one hand, he said with a red face, There are so many subordinates from the financial department behind him, although Oliveira here likes it very much, but he can't come like this.

"Marshal, if you collect taxes at such rates. It might cause a rebellion among the people. McCann here didn't see it, and continued to say that this matter had nothing to do with him, his territory was not here, and the tax collection could not be on his head.

"Where did I come from?" Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "It will be charged at this tax rate, it is necessary." ”

"This ......"

"I've been busy beforehand, so you can do as I tell you to do and hurry up the taxes. Otherwise, everyone will die poor. Without waiting for McCann here to finish speaking, Li Huailin waved his hand and ran away.

"Marshal...... Yuan...... What to do? McCann couldn't stop Li Huailin, sighed and looked at Oliveira beside him and asked.

Oliveira straightened her hair, and then sighed as well, "I don't know what the lord thinks...... But let's do what the lord says first, and if something happens in the end, you can put the blame on me, the minister of the Ministry of Finance, Lord McCann, and say that I did it by bewitching the lord. ”

"Oliveira, you ......" McCann on this side was startled.

"Met such a wayward lord...... There's not much we can do about it. Is that right? Oliveira smiled and said, "So be it." I'll count the list immediately, and you will first prepare an official document to inform all the lords of our tax rate problem this year. ”

"That's all there is to it...... I'd better ask the people of the Second Army to prepare, and if something happens, I'll be able to react immediately. McCann here also sighed and said.

To the north of the Duchy of Lancaster, in a small city called Satumare, the lord of the city, Bucku, has been in a very good mood lately, because the annual autumn harvest is just around the corner. This is a rare time to make money in the past year. Although Satumare is not his direct fiefdom, his taxes still have to be handed over to the lords above, but the difference can be eaten in the middle, for example, last year's tax was set at 12%. But Bakwu collected 17% of the tax from the people last year, and the extra 5% in the middle naturally went into his own pocket, for people like him who can only receive a fixed salary like the empire, the annual autumn harvest is a rare opportunity to make money, although this year although the Lancaster area is no longer a fief directly under the empire, and the person who pays his salary has also been replaced by the new Duke of Aquitaine, but this does not prevent him from making extra money.

"In the first year of the lord's new tenure, he should have to curry favor with the lords and us small lords, so that the tax rate will not be set too high, and this year's extra money will seem to be more." Bakwu here said a little happily.

"My lord, my lord, the official document has come down." A master man at the door rushed into his room in a hurry.

Bakwu glanced up, it was his staff member Chris, smiled and said, "Is it an official letter from the tax?" What is the tax rate this year? ”

"This ...... Your Excellency, you better see for yourself......" Chris here wiped his sweat, and then directly handed the official letter in his hand to Bakwu.

"Oh?" Buckwu was a little strange, because Chris's expression was like constipation, and he felt like he couldn't speak, so he looked at the official document, and immediately, Buckwu's expression here also changed to Chris's.

“70%？” After a long time, Bakwu here reacted, what kind of trouble is this TM? The 70% tax rate is where to pay taxes, this is a money grab, what is this new lord Duke Aquitaine doing? Let's not talk about my income this year, if this tax rate is announced, it is a question whether my position can be done, 70% of the tax collectors are not against the sky, maybe tomorrow they will be arrested by the mob and beheaded.

"Big ...... My lord, this ...... What to do? "Chris is also panicked, what do you say about the 70% tax rate for them, it's not a question of whether they can make money or not, it's a question of whether they can continue to live.

"Is this a real letter?" Bakwu here said calmly, "Make no mistake, 70%? What does he want to do, Lord Duke? ”

"It really is." Chriss, who was here, said, "I asked the soldiers who came to deliver the official letter, it's true, and it's not aimed at us, the whole territory is charged this tax rate." ”

"Hiss......" Buckwu gasped, this is really not a joke, what can be predicted is that a huge riot is waiting in front of him, Buckwu here immediately changed his attitude, this year's extra income is gone, but you must choose yourself, if the people riot, go to this new duke, don't trouble yourself.

"Chris, hurry up and post this official document, the original, to me on the bulletin board next to the city gate, and then inform the guards to let them go to various places to notify all the people to go to the city gate to read the announcement." Bakwu said immediately.

"Originals? My lord, you are ......" Chris here was surprised, according to the previous practice, Buck Wu generally put the tax announcement by himself, and then wrote a tax announcement for his own territory, and then notified the people below, this time directly pasted the original, that is to say, Buck Wu here wants to choose himself out, the original is stamped with the seal of the Duke's Palace, not that Buck Wu himself wants to collect 70% of the tax, the people see that even if it is a rebellion, they will not do anything to Buck U, They will only target the dukes who charge them a 70% tax rate.

"Yes." Bacwu knew that Chris also saw his purpose, and immediately admitted, "This matter is not trivial, if it is not good, the people will think that I am enriching my own pockets, I don't want to become a target, since this duke dares to charge such a tax rate, he is already mentally prepared, this matter has nothing to do with us, let's take a look at the methods of this lord on the side this year." ”

"Means? What is the means of this? Chris here asked, "As soon as this thing is announced, the people below will definitely rebel, what means can this have?" ”

"I don't know......," said Bacwu, "I don't know what the Duke thinks, and that's why I think it's strange, and you say that even if you don't understand it anymore, will you charge this tax rate?" ”

"No, it won't." Chris here immediately replied, even if a random person is caught on the street to be a lord, he will not charge such an outrageous tax rate, isn't it forcing people to rebel?

"That's why I think it's strange, I don't know what Lord Duke means...... "Chris, you said that after the rebellion below, do we help the people to bombard the Lord Duke or stand on the side of Lord Duke to suppress the people?" ”

"This ...... I heard that this Duke is the right and left hand of His Royal Highness the Emperor, and he is very favored...... But this behavior, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Emperor will protect him...... "Chris also had a headache and said, "My lord, the situation is unknown, I think we should wait and see, don't stand in line for now." ”

"Makes sense." Buckwu here thought about it for a while and said, "Anyway, publish the official document first, so that all the guards are ready, there will definitely be a big incident this time." ”

"Yes, sir." Chris nodded.

The same situation also appeared in various parts of Lancaster, and all the people basically did not understand what their new lord was going to do, and most of them chose to choose themselves out, and directly published the official documents that were sent. (To be continued......)
