“…… Zhang Feng? ”

In a room in the castle that Zhang Feng named his study, Caroline stood aside and pinched the corner of her clothes, her tone a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng put down the parchment scroll about the taxes in Red Leaf City in his hand, and he was a little speechless by such a messy tax.

"Well, I want to ask, do you still have ...... of that medicated soap?"

Caroline's ears were hot, and she didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Feng's eyes.

"Medicated soap? For bathing? ”

"Hmm."

Caroline mumbled.

Zhang Feng pretended to dig out the hiking bag next to him and took out a bottle of shower gel.

"It's better for you to use this."

Zhang Feng briefly introduced the use of shower gel.

"Oh."

Caroline sighed, saw Zhang Feng continue to look down at the parchment roll, and prepared to leave silently.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Feng suddenly spoke, and Caroline paused.

"Our taxes are a bit too miscellaneous!"

Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Huh? Taxation? ”

Caroline didn't react for a moment.

"Yes, I'm going to change the taxes, and all these messy taxes will be removed!"

Zhang Feng's tone was a little resolute.

"Removed? But the main source of our Red Leaf City Lord's Mansion is taxes......"

Caroline was a little puzzled, after all, there was still a big difference between her and Zhang Feng's modern thinking.

"Look at what kind of toll tax, stay tax, maternity tax, single tax, wife tax, etc., what kind of mess! No wonder Red Leaf City is poor, you have to collect taxes for everything, so it's better not to do it, if it's me, I'm not motivated! ”

Zhang Feng was a little unhappy, empathy, if he lived in such a world, he would eat and die every day.

"So how do you want to change it?"

Although Caroline couldn't understand it, but now Red Leaf City was Zhang Feng's decision, no matter what decision he made, she fully supported it.

"There are only a few major taxes left, and the others are too miscellaneous, and they can't collect much money at all, which not only wastes our manpower and material resources, but also increases the burden on the common people, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Zhang Feng planned to bring some of the tax system of Blue Star over, the current tax was too unreasonable, and even Zhang Feng didn't know how these former lords came up with such a strange tax.

"Well, it's all up to you."

Caroline's eyes were a little surprised, she thought that she was better for civilians, and she didn't give up on them when Red Leaf City was in the most difficult time, but compared to Zhang Feng, she felt that she was still much worse.

She just wants these civilians to survive, and Zhang Feng not only lets them survive, but also makes their lives better!

The thoughts of the two of them made a judgment in an instant.

Red Leaf City can welcome such a fraternity city lord, Caroline is sincerely happy for the people of Red Leaf City.

"Well, there is also this household registration system to be revised, starting tomorrow, the number of people in Red Leaf City will be registered, accurate to the person, and the foreign ......population will not be accepted for the time being."

"Conscription also has to be put on the agenda, tomorrow, first set out the conditions, and if there is anyone to come, we will say ......"

"The city hall also has to recruit people, and I don't know if there are talents who are proficient in internal affairs, so improve the salary first......

"These salt and sugar in the hands also need to be disposed of, see when you can get these big businessmen together and make money from the common people, they are the big ones......"

"There is also the most important street sanitation problem, which is too dirty and messy, and this must be rectified, and it must be rectified ruthlessly......"

“……”

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was Zhang Feng who said it again, and Caroline nodded like a chicken pecking rice on the side.

It's not that she is perfunctory, but she thinks that what Zhang Feng said is right, and she has no angle to refute it at all.

As soon as the box was opened, Zhang Feng felt that he had slowly entered the state of being a lord, but there were many things that needed to be changed in Red Leaf City, and he couldn't eat a fat man in one bite, so he could only write it down first and gradually improve it later.

After talking for a while, seeing Caroline standing aside with a little confused in her eyes, Zhang Feng knew that she had said too much, and she couldn't digest it for a while, so she changed the topic.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Well, you're right!"

Zhang Feng: "......"

Caroline: "......"

"Forget it, just eat a little bit."

Zhang Feng personally soaked two bowls of Laotan sauerkraut noodles, and then added ham, braised eggs, large chicken legs, and a box of canned fish to each bowl.

Oh yes, and a bottle of Fat House Happy Water.

"Snoring ~ delicious!"

Caroline couldn't stop this unusually rich instant noodle at all.

Zhang Feng feels very strange every time he sees Caroline eating, she eats about the same amount as a man, but she looks thinner, and she doesn't see any meat.

However, weight is a personal issue, and Zhang Feng is not embarrassed to ask.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Feng asked the servants to throw the garbage out, Caroline's expression was a little twisted.

Zhang Feng naturally found out, and he asked strangely:

"Do you need anything else? Although, if I have one. ”

"No, no, I, I'......"

Caroline hurriedly waved her hand, her eyes a little flustered, but in the end she made up her mind.

"Well, which room are you going to rest in at night?"

As soon as these words came out, Caroline hurriedly lowered her head, if Zhang Feng looked closely, he would find that the entire base of his ears was red in calories, and his eyes like a lake were about to drip water.

But Zhang Feng obviously didn't notice.

He thought a little bit in his heart, it's not good to have too many houses, and he has to worry about which room to sleep in every day!

"I just saw that there is a very large room next to the study, and the light is quite sufficient, I will sleep here in the future, it is not early, you can rest early."

Zhang Feng is afraid of trouble, there is a room next door to the study that is not bad, and it is far from the study, so it is convenient for him to do his own work.

“…… Oh. ”

Caroline lowered her head and sighed, her tone flat, and she couldn't see her expression clearly when she lowered her head.

Looking at Caroline, who was holding the shower gel and bowing her head away, Zhang Feng rubbed her swollen temples.

"It always feels like something is missing......

……

Early the next morning.

There is a crowd of people watching the bulletin board in Momiji Castle Square.

Those who are still here know that the current situation in Red Leaf City is not optimistic, and the reason why they did not leave was either because they had no money to travel far away, or because they were waiting for the last business opportunity.

When they heard that a new city owner had taken office, they all set their sights on the new city owner, and some people were full of expectations for the new city owner, but most of them still had no confidence.

Today, I heard that there was a decree of the Lord of the New City on the bulletin board, and everyone wanted to come and see it, no matter what mood they were in, although most of them could not read.

"Huh? New Tax Law! ”

An old man couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the font on the bulletin board.

"What? Do you want to raise taxes again! ”

"We can't live anymore, and we have to raise taxes! This new city lord ......"

"It's over, I thought there would be a good city lord, but now it seems ......"

For a while, the crowd was excited, but they were quite restrained and did not insult the city lord, otherwise they would be caught insulting the nobles, but they would go to prison.

"Mr. Dorbin, what the hell is going on with your thoughts!"

Someone asked this old man for advice, and the old man's name was Dorbin, and he was one of the few literate people in Red Leaf City.
