Damn it!

Arrow cursed heavily in his heart.

He didn't think that the accounts in September would also be checked before, so he didn't settle the accounts at all! This tax officer looked kind and angry, and he looked very respectful of the old Tengshu Academy, but his heart was really careful, and his eyes were also very vicious, so he turned over his account that had not been leveled.

Faced with this situation, Arrow's hands under the table were already clenched into fists, and he tugged at his pants tightly. But the smile on his face was the same as usual, without the slightest change: "Oh, this...... It's easy. Because of this day...... We've gone on a crusade against King Slime. ”

The tax officer's eyes, which were originally a little cold, were immediately covered with excitement and excitement: "Oh? King Slime? ”

Arrow nodded, "yes, it took us a lot of effort to finally defeat that Slime King. But in the process, our guild member was injured, so he was sent for medical treatment. ”

Hearing this, the tax officer nodded again and again, as if he had heard a very exciting story, and exclaimed: "Oh, the Adventurer's Guild is full of talents~~~!" I've only seen this monster in dramas and musicals before, King Slime! It is said that this monster can transform at will and devour everything in the world! Only salt can kill it! But ......"

The tax officer flipped through the account book in his hand again, hehe, and a sneer rose from the corner of his mouth: "I don't seem to have seen a record of your guild purchasing a large amount of salt in the account book of the Mermaid Song?" ”

Therefore, one panic must be rounded by another panic! It's not good to lie, don't learn good boys!

This truth was once clear to Arrow, but now he has a deeper understanding of the correctness of this truth with practical actions!

Also, you are too condescending to be this tax officer, and Arrow really wants to introduce this uncle to simply go to the Imperial Criminal Court to take on a public position, where he can definitely do more prosperous!

"Oops, we didn't use salt." Arrow smiled.

The tax officer's brow furrowed slightly: "Why?" How do you kill King Slime without salt? ”

Arrow continued to smile: "Mr. Tax Collector, if you really use a lot of salt in the Shining Forest to deal with King Slime, then it is very likely that the land of the Shining Forest will be turned into saline, at least part of it. Have you ever thought about this? When the time comes, the forest will gradually be destroyed, and the herb gathering place that our guild relies on for its livelihood will also be destroyed. ”

At this moment, the tax official immediately felt like a divine, and the look of doubt on his face immediately subsided: "I see, I see!" I see, that makes sense. In order to prevent it from becoming saline, it does not use a lot of salt, which makes perfect sense! ”

Arrow smiled, "That's why I use torches." Just a little carelessly, the Shining Forest scorched a small area. However, the size of the Shining Forest will be almost filled by next summer. ”

The tax officer nodded again and again, and the admiration on his face was indescribable: "I see, I see!" This would explain these conditions very adequately. But I have one more small question for President Arrow. ”

How can there be?! How can you have so many problems! Do you have to face these worries all day long to make false accounts?! I only made a fake account once, only once! But how many problems have you found out about this fake account in just one time? Is it necessary to be so serious?!

Arrow's face continued to be full of smiles, and his teeth were fully exposed.

"Well, I actually wanted to ask, it's the same day of September 26th...... You mermaid song bought flowers for a full amount of gold. Excuse me...... Why? You're not going to tell me that this is also against King Slime, is it? King Slime's mission only cost you five silver coins, so you won't spend a single gold coin on it, will you? ”

Damn, what's the excuse to think of now? Damn, damn it, damn it! That Iron Wolf Guild! When I was alive, I only knew how to cause trouble for myself, and now that I am all gone, I am still causing trouble for myself!

"Well, this is just thinking that our guild has been open in Pelican Town for almost two months, and the business is a little weak, so I thought about doing something to hype it up. That's why I bought these flowers. ”

Looking at Arrow's eyes that were completely narrowed into a slit with a smile, the tax officer also smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Really? Just for publicity? ”

Arrow smiled more easily and casually: "yes, isn't it to celebrate when you buy flowers?" What other reason could there be? It can't be bought for funeral. ”

Tax Collector: "So...... What about the results of the publicity? Is business improving? ”

Arrow: "It didn't work. I really studied economics for nothing. The account books for the next few days are in your hands, you can see for yourself.

The tax collector took the account book, but didn't glance at it, just stared at Arrow.

And Arrow also had a fearless expression on his face, smiling calmly.

The stalemate lasted for about two minutes, after which the tax collector burst out laughing and snapped the book in his hand—

"Oops, sure enough, I'm too careful! Well, how could a student of Old Tengshu Academy do something wrong? I'm overthinking, I'm overthinking. Well, in general, it is true that the accounts of September are not as good as those of August, which has been sorted out, but they are not bad either. Looks very clean, congratulations! President Arrow, your guild's accounts have been reconciled! ”

At that moment, Arrow had the pleasure of being forced into the water and drowning, but at the last moment of losing consciousness, he was able to poke his head out of the water and take a big breath.

The tax officer looked at his notebook and said with a smile: "As of today, your guild's income this year is 11 gold, 5 silver, 1 bronze and 7 iron, and the expenditure is 27 gold, 3 silver and 3 iron based on the 100 gold coins you registered at the beginning. So, your total income in 1301 is minus 15 gold, 7 silver, 8 bronze and 6 iron. ”

"But don't worry too much about it, the newly opened Adventurer's Guild will always lose money at first. There are many adventurer guilds that can turn a profit at a loss. But there are some of them...... Haha, don't talk about it. ”

The tax officer closed his mouth with a well-wisher expression, and after coughing twice, he continued: "In terms of taxes, 15% of the tax is calculated based on the income panel of the guild, but because it is a new guild in the first year, it enjoys a certain degree of tax exemption, and you can reduce the tax by 5 points. That is, 10% of the operating income panel is paid. However, in terms of other exemptions, your guild does not employ more than five people, so it does not qualify for the 'Idle Persons Tax Deduction', so your guild cannot deduct taxes in this regard. ”

"After that, because you have employees under the age of 14 on your side, you need to add an additional 'child and childhood compensation tax' of one point for child labor. However, since your guild is located in a place where there is no Imperial garrison, your guild can be counted as the security force of the Blue Bay Empire in such a border city, and the 'Extra Power Tax Reduction' can reduce the tax by an additional 3 tax points. It doesn't seem that your guild is currently involved in the construction of Pelican Town, so you won't be able to enjoy the 'Prosperous Town Tax Reduction' item either. Finally, since your guild lost money this year, you can get another 3 points in tax relief. ”

After writing it on the paper, the tax officer smiled and said, "Therefore, the final tax amount is calculated as 5%, which is 5 silver, 7 copper and 6 iron." ”

Arrow took out the money very happily, and the tax collector also counted it very easily, put the coins in his pocket, and gave Arrow a very sincere look again: "Okay! The mermaid's song is now taxed and settled! President Sola, I hope to see your business bigger and better next year! Of course, I'd love to see the Pelican Town account list you provided soon, and I'm sure it will be just as refreshing and comfortable as today's bill, right? ”

Now, Arrow only has the strength to laugh.

He always felt that after a day of reconciliation with the tax officer, his entire body had been hollowed out, and his soul seemed to have burned out, leaving only the last gray and white.

Speaking of which, I blame myself for laundering money! If you want to launder money, you must accept this mental torture! Alas, it's better to transfer that black money well.

After packing up all the ledgers and power of attorney, the tax collector got up and patted his package.

Arrow: "Lord Collector, why don't you sleep with me tonight?" Although we have a pretty broken place, there are still places where you can spend the night. ”

The tax officer laughed and said, "It's still not necessary, I've already bothered your dinner, even if I pay for it, but if I even have to live with you, it's really inconvenient to spread the word, and it will be gossiped about." I want to live a few more years. ”

Arrow exhaled secretly: "In that case, then you go to the unicorn bar......"

Seeing the tax collector leave, the guild leader, who had been nervous all day, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Turning around, as far as Arrow's eyes could see, Coco, Brad, Parfay, and Cream immediately shrank back and cleaned up by themselves, looking very nervous. Seeing this, Arrow's shoulders also drooped, revealing a gentle smile.

"Today...... I'm sorry I'm so fierce to you. I'm sorry, but I'm in a big trouble when it comes to finances. I hope you understand......"

Napa got out of Coco's arms, landed on the cushion on the counter, and snorted, "Today is really your most 'president' day." ”

Coco walked over boldly and asked cautiously, "Brother President...... Well, are you still so angry with me? ”

Arrow smiled, "How so? Coco is the smartest and most obedient child in our guild. I yelled at you before, and I apologize to you. But in the future, I still hope that you can try to listen to my command and not cause trouble for me, is that okay? ”

After calming Coco, Airo looked at the other three.

Brad was relieved to see that the current president had a smile on his face again, and he smirked. Parfay patted her chest: "(Fairy language) scared me to death, scared me to death." ”

It's just that Cream touched the back of his head, thought about it and said, "So...... What I did when I was in the Iron Wolf Guild...... President, you don't even allow it? ”

Arrow continued to smile: "If you want to do something, tell me first. You have more social experience and experience than any of them, and there are many times when I am not there that I need you to call the shots, but I still hope that our guild can go on the right path. After all, the Iron Wolf Guild that took the evil path ...... You've seen what happened to them, too. ”

Cream sighed a few times and stopped talking.

After talking to everyone, this torturous day is officially over. Arrow exhaled as well, and after everyone in the guild had rested, he took one last look at the bloodworms in the doors, windows, and underground cellars, and then went upstairs to sleep contentedly.
