Chapter 59 Details determine success or failure
"That's right, President Arrow. I didn't care about it before, but when I saw those children just now, I remembered, do you have a lesson for the children here? ”
Arrow was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, is there a problem?" ”
The tax officer tilted his head, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "What is the problem...... Yes. I wonder if President Arrow has a teaching certificate? Generally speaking, registration is required to open a school. In this way, the empire can make overall planning, and can come from here and there to guide the teaching policy. To put it more broadly, those students should also know where to learn more advanced knowledge, right? It's like saying they should know when they're going to be able to get into your alma mater. ”
Arrow smiled and nodded, took a sip of milk and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have any teaching qualifications." However, I also didn't think about running a serious school. I only opened this school because there is no school in Pelican Town, so I thought it was for the children to learn the words and help take care of their parents while they were busy. If the Empire is willing to send teachers to open a school here, I can shut down my small classroom immediately. ”
The tax officer snorted twice, nodded and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter if that's the case." Yes! I'll report it. Heck, it's really rare to see a president like President Arrow who thinks about the future of the town. Lao Teng Shu's tuition fee needs a total of two or three hundred gold coins, right? Your charges are really cheap. ”
After eating beautifully, the tax collector wiped his hands and leaned back on his seat to cover his stomach with a satisfied expression, as if he was finally able to eat a good meal after working for too long.
Seeing his satisfied appearance like this, Arrow was also a little relieved.
Overall, this tax collector should have no other problems with his guild, right?
The dishes were put away, and the ledgers were spread out on the table again, like a beautiful woman stripped of the last layer of clothing, struggling powerlessly and slumping there like ashes, waiting for the unknown torture of the other party.
Arrow took a deep breath and continued to smile, hoping only that his guild members wouldn't come over and do anything else.
"Well, just like the accounts in August, every transaction is a clear mess. I even think I'll be able to settle all the bills with a little late today! ”
The smile on the tax officer's face was really visible to the naked eye, and Arrow could only smile now: "It's nothing, I haven't done anything to tidy up...... It's ugly. ”
"No, no, no! If you want me to say it's really too clean! Well, great ledger, I'm kind of looking forward to your Pelican Town ledger next. Oops, look at this mine exploration, the expenses and income are clearly written. And this helper commission, this is really detailed! And this bodyguard commission...... Well? ”
Suddenly, the expression on the tax officer's face froze, and the whole person looked at the account book tightly as if he had been immobilized.
Such an abrupt pause allowed SolaX to fully experience what it means to have a heart arrest! Even Coco, Brad, Cream, and Parfay in the back can clearly see that their own president has suddenly turned into a stone statue.
"This bodyguard commissioned...... Well...... Hmmm......"
The tax collector picked up the power of attorney and looked at it, and then carefully checked the account books.
Arrow couldn't hold back a little and asked, "Excuse me...... Is there anything wrong with this commission? ”
The tax officer raised his head and glanced at Arrow, continued to look at the accounts, and thought for a moment before he said, "President Arrow, the various tasks that your guild did before were very miscellaneous, and of course there was also a request for bodyguard transportation work. But ......"
He slowly put the power of attorney in front of Arrow, and said slowly: "Before that, all the entrusted transportation work you took over was from Pelican Town to one of the two towns next door, Kingfisher Town or Honglu Town, and then you came back directly. Moreover, the amount of money earned by bodyguard transportation is also very small, basically only a few copper coins, and the number of iron coins is even more. ”
"But this one ......"
The tax officer's finger pointed to the only one in the entire account book that was fraudulently laundered by Arrow, and with a slight smile, the tax officer said generously-
"This commission is asking your guild members to go to Honglu Town, and then transport certain things to Kingfisher Town?"
"If you ride a horse between Honglu Town and Kingfisher Town, it will take almost 1 day to travel, and in just one day, your guild has earned a full amount of gold coins through your bodyguards? Hehe...... Your mission report says Barley, but it costs a gold coin to transport Barley for a bodyguard? Could it be ...... Is this Uso boss going to transport a large amount of Du Leng Jia? ”
The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched, and the fists under the table clenched again.
The members behind the bar in the distance were a little nervous, but Keke raised his head and asked, "What is Du Lengjia?" The president's brother looks more nervous now. ”
Brad shook his head slightly, looking stupid. Cream snorted coldly: "Du Lengjia is an analgesic, no matter what kind of illness or injury, as long as you hit one, it can greatly relieve the pain." When I was still in the Iron Wolves, Wolf had done a few of them, saying that if I had this kind of thing, I wouldn't feel pain if I was injured, and I could move forward more bravely. Also, it's quite expensive, and I've always heard that only the big guilds can distribute it to their own members. Because of this, many people try to smuggle this medicine to make huge profits. ”
Brad scratched his head and asked, "Pain?" But aren't our therapeutic aerosols also able to relieve pain? Is it necessary to get such a high price? ”
Napa, who was in Coco's arms, yawned and said nonchalantly, "It's different, although the healing aerosol can treat the wound, it can't eliminate the pain in a short time. Even the process of wound healing itself can create some pain. Also, my therapeutic aerosols are not effective for physical pain caused by illness. ”
Cream nodded, "That's right. Moreover, healing aerosols can only treat some minor injuries, or convert serious injuries into medium or minor injuries that can still move as much as possible, and if the potion is not enough, the pain effect is still there. But even if Du Lengjia is only a small piece, it can make the person with broken hands and feet quiet down instantly, and there will be no more painful feelings. It can be said that it is an epoch-making drug. ”
"I first heard that this drug was on the battlefield. Think about it, how terrible it would be for that kind of army that is not afraid of pain and has no fear anymore? However, I later heard that if you take a large amount of Du Leng Jia, you may become addicted, and then you will have a lot of hallucinations, and your mental and physical condition will deteriorate. This was gradually eradicated from the army. But I heard that in some small countries, the military management is not strict, and the drug Du Lengjia is still used as a strong military method. ”
After listening to the explanation, Coco continued to look at Arrow over there.
The president of the Mermaid's Song groaned slightly, and under the gaze of the tax officer's eyes, it didn't take long for him to show that calm smile again, and said slowly: "I can't hide it, I coaxed this price up. You see, didn't the Shining Forest just make trouble with King Slime not long ago? Everyone in our town has seen it. So when someone came to entrust me, I tried my best to fool the other party and raise the price. Well...... Isn't that okay? ”
The tax officer stared at Arrow tightly for a long time, then exhaled and said with a sad face: "Maliciously inflating prices?" Although it is not to be encouraged, it cannot be said to be wrong. How much did that Kaizi sell the wheat at the end? ”
Ai Luo shook his head: "It's not very clear, the members of our guild are only responsible for bodyguards, how much money is sold, and how it is sold, I don't know." You see, this account was supposed to be calculated next year, but this time it happened suddenly, and I didn't summarize it properly. ”
The tax collector sighed, "Okay! You are a graduate of Lao Tengshu Academy, can I still trust the top students of Lao Tengshu Academy? Let me take a closer look, in fact, you don't need to look carefully, this account book is full of logic and judgment everywhere! There is a perfect correspondence between any incoming and outgoing accounts! It's like...... Well? What's going on here? ”
Originally, it was a good thing, but the tax officer's sudden change of tone made Arrow's heart rise to his throat again! If he could, he really wanted Brad to give this tax officer a good beating, couldn't he be serious all the time?! In this way, at least you can have a mental preparation!
Faced with Arrow, who was nervous again, the tax officer handed over the account book and pointed to the bill for the day of September 26.
"President Arrow, this bill ...... Doesn't seem right? ”
Arrow's heart chuckled, because September 26th was the day when the Mermaid Song wiped out the Iron Wolf Guild.
"There...... Wrong? Arrow swallowed.
There was a smile on the tax officer's face, but these smiles looked so terrifying now: "You see, on this day, your guild spent two silver coins on the medical bill. But...... Why is there such a sudden cost of treatment? The doctor in Pelican Town is that Kora, right? If I'm not mistaken...... His consultation fee for the whole of last year, once per person, was only a silver coin at most. But on this day, why do you have to charge two silver coins? ”
