A standard gold coin can keep a young man in the village fed and clothed for a year, and it is extremely valuable, and the precious metal standard coin worth 2,000 gold coins in the treasury of Longhan Village is naturally a huge wealth in Lei Zihao's eyes!

However, with Lei Zihao's in-depth understanding of Longhan Village, he found that these coins were really not much!

Although Longhan Village has a population of only more than 1,000, it already has a nearly perfect social transaction system, and has departed from the primitive stage of bartering.

Don't spend a penny!

Of course, Lei Zihao can theoretically do the same, but the system has already clearly warned him how miserable the governor will be after losing the hearts of the people......

This world is not an ancient scene in his previous life, and even if the people here have respect for the superiors, they are not those foolish people who are obedient!

Therefore, if Lei Zihao wants to do something, it will cost money!

If you want to maintain a luxurious life, you naturally need enough money, and the best source of money is taxes!

The profit of commercial tax, even Lei Zihao, a historical novice, knows very well that when the village guard is built, the bazaar in the village is completed first!

Since the bazaar is a convenient place for villagers to trade with each other, he didn't spend Lei Zihao's coins, he just issued a few warrants, planned reasonably in the village, and set aside a trade bazaar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The primary market is actually a group of villagers setting up stalls and shouting......

However, after completing the construction of the bazaar, Lei Zihao, who did not spend a copper plate, received a pleasant prompt sound!

[The appearance of the bazaar has benefited a lot from the business-minded people in the villagers, and they have volunteered to offer their loyalty to the governor, looking forward to your promotion!]

Obtain the second direct retinue of the civilian class! 】

Just when Lei Zihao received the prompt tone, there was a rhythmic knocking sound outside the bedroom door, and a rich and simple maid mezzo-soprano followed: "Lord Governor, there is a villager named Wang Er outside who asks to see you." ”

Hey? What a coincidence!

With Lei Zihao's consent, a 30-year-old man with a round cake face and a medium build, with a slightly bent waist and an excited look, made a five-body bow to Lei Zihao!

"I heard that the Governor is making profits for the people and setting up a market to facilitate the villagers' trading, and the second king of the grass people specially came to see the Governor, hoping to make a contribution!"

At the same time as Wang Er knelt down, his information had already appeared in front of Lei Zihao's eyes!

[Directly subordinate to the civilian retinue.]

Name: Wang Er

From: Longhan Village

Loyalty: 7 stars

Good at: business, observing words and feelings

Attributes: Business proficient (When serving as a tax officer, it can reduce the phenomenon of tax evasion by merchants and increase business tax revenue.) ）

Notes: Agile and skillful, with many years of trading experience, he is familiar with most of the details of business transactions and extracts the maximum amount of commercial taxes from them, this is a merchant who has come to repay the Governor with a grateful heart! 】

I have to say that this entourage information panel is really powerful, and after Lei Zihao, who was unsure, saw it, he immediately appointed him as the tax officer of Longhan Village!

It can be regarded as relieving some pressure on the internal affairs officer who has too many part-time jobs and is busy with his front feet but not his back feet......

After Lei Zihao saw Wang Er, who was full of joy, respectfully withdrew, he couldn't help but wonder, such a businessman has the potential to be a tax officer's entourage, why didn't that housekeeper Zhao Guangxian have a retinue template?

Lei Zihao had already discovered the convenience and insurance of this entourage template, and the loyalty that showed it was simply a necessary weapon to consolidate his rule!

Lei Zihao, the star of loyalty, has learned through the all-out war system that as long as it is not less than 5 stars, there is basically no possibility of rebellion, and 7 stars of loyalty, this tax official doesn't even have the heart to embezzle!

It seems that the opening of the bazaar has benefited Wang Er a lot!

As the lowest village, Longhan Village is actually very simple in terms of tax components, which is divided into three parts in total, one is the easy-to-understand poll tax, and the villagers are protected by the governor and lord, so they naturally have to pay a fixed poll tax regularly!

This piece is not a lot of money, but it is stable and easy to collect.

The bulk of the tax is the second part, the agricultural tax!

When Lei Zihao learned the normal amount of agricultural tax, he couldn't help but sigh that the exploitation of peasant uncles in the feudal period was too cruel......

In the case of no tax increase and exploitation in Longhan Village, it was necessary to collect 60% of the harvest from the farmers' fields!

In this way, those hard-working peasants also gratefully complimented Lei Zihao, the governor, because the remaining forty percent of the harvest was enough for them to barely eat and clothe themselves......

This agricultural tax was also a source of food for Lei Zihao's army and those who worked for the governor, and if he ran out, he would have to buy the four percent they left behind from the peasants with money......

As for Lei Zihao himself, he quickly adapted to the life of a corrupt and degenerate feudal lord, and from the next day onwards, he no longer ate the staple food of those villagers and servants - black bread!

Instead, they began to eat special white bread made with a lot of flour and honey, as well as a variety of fresh meat and game bought from hunters!

It's that there are no other seasonings in the village except coarse salt, which makes Lei Zihao feel uncomfortable......

You know, even coarse salt in the village can only be eaten by the Spartan Guard soldiers and governors, because it is a temporary non-renewable resource, and it depends on the stockpile!

Coarse salt is a strategic material in Longhan Village, all of which are firmly controlled by Lei Zihao, and without his permission, no matter how much money you spend, you can't even eat it!

The reason why it was given to the soldiers of the Spartan General's Guard was mainly to increase their body's nutritional needs, these 20 people were the only force before Lei Zihao built the village guard, and they must always be kept at their peak!

Of course, the coarse salt consumption for 21 people is not much at all, enough to eat for a long, long time......

Aside from the agricultural tax and the poll tax, which can be seen at a glance, the third part of the tax is difficult to calculate!

The commercial tax is generated by transactions between villagers, and if this thing is not supervised by a special person, who knows how many goods the merchant buys and sells?

Therefore, before the appearance of the tax officer, although the commercial tax existed in the tax component of Longhan Village, it could not be collected at all!

This can be seen in the city panel, after Lei Zihao appointed the tax officer, the estimated annual tax amount has increased directly from 1000+ to 1300+!

The establishment of the bazaar and the tax officer who is proficient in business have made Longhan Village, which has not developed much, an extra 300 gold coins in annual tax for nothing!
