Chapter 358 - Payment of Taxes

In the village square of the village of Sikor, a makeshift banquet has been arranged, and the tax collector Pavlov is now sitting in it and drinking, of course, he will not dare to drink until the other party drinks first, because he is really afraid of being poisoned.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, your face is not very good, is it because the food is not to your liking?" Selwyn here saw Pavlov with a heavy face and asked kindly.

"You...... What about your village chief? "When he first entered the village, Selwyn introduced himself as the son of the village chief, so where did the village chief go, was he organizing the villagers to prepare to surround him?

"My father has already set off for Sovata City yesterday, and he must personally thank the Duke for his kindness, so I am in charge of the affairs here for the time being, please rest assured, the tax matter will definitely not be delayed." Selwyn on this side said immediately.

I'm rubbing, liaring ghosts, and thanking the Duke? Definitely take the villagers somewhere to hide and wait for us to get drunk and arrest us all. Pavlov here immediately thought that this was mainly Selwyn's lie, it was too clumsy, you collected 70% of the tax, and you still thanked the lord, are you sick.

"Hurry up...... Hurry up and pay your taxes, I'm ...... I'm going to go to the next place. "Pavlov here is already very panicked, and every qiē is too unnatural, so he is panicked to death.

"Okay, my lord, let's get started now." When Selwyn heard that Pavlov was critical and began to collect taxes, he naturally nodded, so he took out a notebook, and then shouted to the people below: "Start paying taxes, the first one, German, has a total of 4 acres of land at home, and this year a total of 1140 catties will be harvested, and 798 catties should be paid." German. What about German? ”

"Village Chief, Devon has gone home to fetch food." One of the villagers below shouted at the top.

Sure enough, Pavlov here thinks about it, so maybe someone will really pay it, will this Devon really bring the grain over?

"Oh, I'm sorry. My lord, the number is a little too much, and I guess Devon is a little lucky to move, so please wait a little. Selwyn said immediately.

Wait? Do you think I'm stupid, maybe I'll wait until a mob with sickles and dung forks rush over and cut myself, Pavlov here looked at the captain of the city guard beside him, and immediately said: "Since you are not ready, forget it, give you another day." I'll go back today...... "Anyway, he's already come over and walked around, and even if he can't collect taxes in this situation, the city lord shouldn't blame himself."

"Your Excellency, you can't go back, please wait a while, we can't delay the time for Lord Lord's tax collection." Selwyn on this side said immediately.

I rub it, and I won't let it go back, there must be a conspiracy. Pavlov here heard Selwyn say this, and wanted to go back even more. Immediately said: "That's it, forget it today, I'll ...... first"

"I'm coming! I'm coming! Before he could finish speaking, Pavlov heard shouts not far away, and turned his head to see a peasant pulling a cart full of grain. Walking towards him, there were a few other family members behind him, presumably helping to push the cart.

"Devon! What's the matter, I didn't inform you yesterday, today you were the first to pay taxes, why is it so late. Whoever ends the show is not happy! Selwyn shouted at once.

"I'm sorry, the village chief, and the tax collector, I didn't expect the number to be too much, I couldn't move here, I went to borrow a car, so I delayed it, I'm really sorry!" Devon here said immediately.

"My lord, I'm sorry, the villagers don't understand the rules, please forgive me." Selwyn here immediately said, naturally he was interceding for the people in his village.

Pavlov didn't have time to care about this at this time, seeing a cart full of grain, Pavlov didn't know how to react, you really pulled grain to pay taxes, you are not sick in your brain.

"My lord, please check it out?" Seeing Pavlov, who was in a daze for some reason, Selwyn here reminded in a low voice.

"Oh...... Oh......, come on, weigh it. Pavlov couldn't figure out what was going on now, but fortunately, although he didn't really expect to receive the tax, he still prepared everything very well, and he immediately ordered the people next to him to carry it up.

The amount is really a bit much, just the German family, Pavlov here accepted it for a while, and finally Pavlov here was a little incredulous, because the other party really brought nearly 800 catties of grain.

"Inspection...... Acceptance is complete......" Pavlov said in disbelief.

"Devon, well done!" Selwyn on this side immediately said, "This will not cause trouble for Lord Lord. ”

The villagers in the village all looked at Devon with encouraging eyes, and they were all a little embarrassed when they looked at him, and the big man touched his head honestly: "That's nature, how can we make trouble for such a great lord, okay, whose food hasn't been moved yet, everyone go and help move it." ”

"Yes, you all hurry up, Lord Tax Collector is waiting." Selwyn here shouted as he spoke, "Next, Koma, the family has a total of 6 acres of land, and this year a total of 1,550 catties will be harvested, and 1,085 catties should be paid, Koma." ”

"It's already here." Koma here immediately said that he got up early in the morning to move all the grain in the warehouse to the car, and waited to pay the tax.

"Over...... "Pavlov was stupid ...... this group of guys, he couldn't understand it, you said that 70% of the tax was not paid normally in your brain, and you were still happily paying it one by one, looking at the villagers in front of him who were smiling and carrying food for themselves, Pavlov suddenly felt that he was not dreaming.

"Acceptance completed...... Actual income of 1085 catties ......" After a while, Pavlov here drew a line on Koma's name to prove that he had paid off this year's taxes, and 1085 catties was a lot.

"Next, Sadie, ...... at home" Selwyn on this side began to call for the next one again.

In this way, the tax collection proceeded very smoothly, and Pavlov on the side of Shun could not believe that this was true, and the villagers with excited faces sent bundles of grain to him like crazy, and in a short time a hill-like pile of grain was pushed up next to the village square.

"Your Excellency...... We didn't have enough cars with us. Then the captain of the city guard whispered in Pavlov's ear.

Before he came out, no one thought that he would really receive taxes, so when Pavlov went out, he symbolically pulled three cars, and now in this situation, if all of them are collected, ten cars will not be able to be transported back.

"You...... You go back to Satumare, go find the car, and report the situation here to the city lord......" Pavlov here thought for a while and said. The village of Sikol is not far from Satumare and you will be back soon after a trip.

"Yes, sir." The captain of the city guard here nodded, and immediately went back.

Pavlov here continued to collect taxes, and the progress was so smooth that the villagers here were simply crazy, only those who paid more, and none of them paid less, and the people of the whole village worked together to move grain to Pavlov's side.

Looking at the bundles of grain, Pavlov here also forgot about the rebellion for the time being, and began to seriously accept it, and in one morning, Pavlov here had received 20,000 catties of grain.

This is, the captain of the city guard sent here to find the car has also returned, and walked to Pavlov's side with an inexplicable face.

"My lord, only 4 cars were found." The captain of the city guard reported.

"What? 4 is not enough, can't you see? Pavlov here said immediately.

"No, my lord, the city has gone crazy, the tax collectors everywhere don't know what's going on, all the taxes have been paid, everyone has sent people back to find cars, and now the cars that can be used in the whole city have been pulled out to load food, these cars are still borrowed from the city lord's house, there are really no cars." The captain of the city guard said.

"I'm rubbing, what are you kidding, all the surrounding villages have paid taxes?" Pavlov couldn't believe it and said, although he said that he had seen the tax payment situation in Sikor Village with his own eyes, but it also showed that the whole village of Sikor Village was just a psychopath, and now all the surrounding villages have begun to pay taxes, isn't this a joke? 70%, 70%, this is not a 7% tax rate, this can also receive tax?

"It's true, I met a few captains, all of them came back to look for a car, I heard that the villagers over there were so happy to see them come to collect taxes, the village chief can't wait to bring his daughter to sleep with the tax collector." The captain of the city guard said with an inexplicable expression.

"......" Pavlov was really speechless, "what's going on this year?" Are the villagers crazy? ”

"I don't know, sir." The captain of the city guard looked at the villagers next to him who were enthusiastically carrying food for them, thought for a moment and said, "70% of the tax is also paid, probably really crazy." ”

"Your Excellency, do you have any questions?" Selwyn, who was here, saw that Pavlov was talking to the captain next to him, and walked over and asked.

"That...... Selwyn: yes. Pavlov said.

"Yes, sir." Selwyn nodded.

"I see that our cars seem to be a little insufficient, do you have any cars in your village......" Pavlov asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the tax collector's car is not enough, everyone will do me a favor in a while, use all the cars at home, and give all this grain to the tax collector and move it back to Satumare, we can't delay the lord's taxes." Selwyn shouted at once.

"Okay village chief!"

"No problem!"

"Okay, I'm sure they're crazy." Pavlov here said to the captain of the city guard next to him. (To be continued......)
