Long live the Duke of Xiaoyao, tax-free for half a year, which is equivalent to more than 30% of the income in half a year! ”

"Duke Xiaoyao is arrogant, according to the announcement of the City Lord's Mansion last year, the tax revenue of Binhai City last year exceeded 100 million medium-grade spirit crystals, tax exemption and tax reduction for half a year, then at least 50 million spirit crystals will be lost, I think those damn officials and nobles are going to jump now."

"That's not necessarily, this is to move the cake of those nobles, although in the past, Binhai City was directly under the Ethereal Dynasty, and most of the taxes collected had to be handed over, but here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and who knows if he makes some small moves, now it is equivalent to collecting the small wallets of the nobles!"

"Hmph, I think they want more, I heard that the merchant family controlled by the nobles has been planning something recently, and it is clear that they want to target the new city lord."

"Yes, Marina City has become the fief of Duke Xiaoyao, according to the law, the proportion of taxes paid in Coastal City will be reduced by at least 50, these bastards won't even dare to be greedy for Duke Xiaoyao's property, right?"

"Hehe, what do they dare not do, that's why I said that Duke Xiaoyao is wise, directly reduce taxes, and the income left behind is only enough for the development of Coastal City, if the nobles dare to reach out, it will be a fatal blow to Coastal City, and it will not be good for them."

"Damn, brother, after your analysis, Duke Xiaoyao is simply far-sighted, and he can count it in one fell swoop!"

The reactions of all parties were inconsistent, and compared to ordinary residents, the nobles were indeed frying pans.

What ordinary people can think of, they can naturally think of, and for a while, the coastal city was turbulent.

Although Lin Chenyi also has this meaning, he feels that the tax ratio is unreasonable, how can such a high tax arouse people's desire to work and consume?

There is no desire at all, how to stimulate economic development, so let alone tax cuts, direct tax exemption!

Although Binhai City is already very prosperous in the eyes of the Ethereal Dynasty, in his eyes, it is not even comparable to the real fourth- and fifth-tier small cities, and there are no modern elements, so he always feels that something is missing.

"City Lord, Viscount Walker has requested a visit and is already waiting outside the door."

A guard walked in and reported respectfully.

Lin Chenyi said, "Oh, so fast? ”

Yao Yuchen said: "It's expected......"

"Report ...... Viscount Tianyun asked for a visit. ”

"Viscount Jinlong came to visit ......"

Interestingly, the three most powerful viscounts in Marina City are here, and they all have a powerful Chamber of Commerce behind them without exception.

"Then let them all in......"

What should come will always come, Lin Chenyi didn't plan to dodge, anyway, the tax reduction has been enacted, and if these nobles want to make small moves, they have to ask the residents of Binhai City if they agree.

Yao Yuchen watched with interest, and after seeing that the guards had withdrawn, he kindly reminded: "Brother Lin, they not only represent their own interests, I am afraid that there are also quite a few nobles' attitudes, if you don't handle it well today, it will shake the economy of Binhai City." ”

Lin Chenyi smiled and didn't answer Yao Yuchen anything.

Sure enough, Walker, Tianyun, and Jinlong, the three viscounts, walked in coldly, with a somewhat indifferent attitude, the three of them are all old guys, but they are all half-step out-of-body cultivators, and together I am afraid that even Yao Yuchen will have to deal with it seriously.

"Walker Tianyun and Jin Long meet Duke Xiaoyao ......"

Lin Chenyi smiled: "Haha, I already knew that you would come, come, take a seat, and serve tea." ”

Lin Chenyi's attitude was surprisingly good, and the three of Walker looked at each other, a little incredulous.

However, looking at the age of the other party, it seems that this negotiation is confident, maybe the newly appointed duke is just showing his sense of existence, in fact, it will not really reduce taxes and tax exemptions?

Viscount Walker, who was the leader, sat down and said: "Duke Xiaoyao can be in the position of duke at a young age, presumably he has made a great contribution to the dynasty, I, Walker, have always respected heroes, so I came to visit today, come to someone, and send gifts......"

After that, a team dressed in festive clothes walked in outside the main hall, and Lin Chenyi was a little surprised when he saw the six large wooden boxes.

Walker said: "This is the small heart of the nobles of this coastal city, not a respect, come, open these wooden boxes, so that the Duke of Joy can pass by." ”

The six wooden boxes were opened, and when they saw the contents inside, even Yao Yuchen was a little shocked.

I saw six mahogany boxes containing various treasures in different categories, including a whole box of high-grade spirit crystals, various elixirs of more than 4 stars, exercises, spirit runes, spirit weapons, etc., these six boxes are more than Yao Yuchen's own net worth, and the blood of the nobles of this coastal city is really heavy!

"Is the Duke satisfied?"

Walker looked at Lin Chenyi with a smile, and even Yao Yuchen was stunned, let alone this hairy boy.

To be honest, if the treasures in front of me were to be jointly funded by the three viscounts, I am afraid that it would hurt to death, but the nobles of Coastal City also have hundreds, and each person contributed so much and a half thing, and there were so many after sorting it out.

With these six boxes of treasures, you can know how rich these nobles and businessmen are, even if they jointly fund, I'm afraid that the three Walkers and the other seven chambers of commerce are also very prominent.

It's just that Lin Chenyi has seen a treasure that is even more advanced than this, and after a short period of surprise, he calmed down, and the three of Walker couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts when they saw this, this new Duke of Joy is more difficult to deal with than they imagined.

Lin Chenyi said: "Viscount Walker, Viscount Tianyun, Viscount Jinlong, if you have anything to say, I can't afford such a valuable gift." ”

This is just Lin Chenyi's superficial words, in fact, he really doesn't look down on this thing, and there are very few 5-star treasures, which proves that these guys haven't taken out their family background at all.

Walker laughed and said, "The Duke is really refreshing, then I'll be blunt, I want the Duke to revoke the tax exemption decree issued today." ”

Lin Chenyi frowned and said: "Isn't the decree child's play, if you say that it will be withdrawn, it won't let me bear the criticism in vain, and this tax exemption and tax reduction will be beneficial to you chambers of commerce and nobles, right?" ”

Viscount Tianyun said: "No, no, Walker is talking about tax exemption, not tax reduction, we still like tax reduction very much, but tax exemption is forgotten."

Tax exemption for half a year, the financial tax revenue of Binhai City will be reduced by more than 30 million medium-grade spirit crystals, which is too unfavorable to the development of Binhai City, I'm afraid that even the taxes handed over to the dynasty are not enough, right? ”

Lin Chenyi sneered in his heart, these nobles were really insatiable, originally he thought that Walker wanted him to completely revoke this decree.

As a result, good guys, ordinary people's tax exemptions are opposed, and tax cuts that are beneficial to them are in favor, isn't this a typical double standard?

Also, if you lose 30 million medium-grade spirit crystals in half a year after tax exemption, does it mean that the tax ratio of these nobles accounts for 40% of the total tax ratio of Binhai City?

, these nobles are really rich, in comparison, it seems that his net worth is not so much, Lin Chenyi is jealous.

Moreover, the tax exemption for ordinary residents will greatly stimulate the economic development of the coastal city, which is an absolute benefit and a boon for the chamber of commerce.

Of course, it should be bad news for some nobles who do not have huge estates, and the result of the narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor is that their status will be threatened, and it is no wonder that the nobles of Marina City are collectively opposed.

However, Lin Chenyi was determined to burn this first fire, so he said strongly: "The decree has come into effect, this duke can't be untrustworthy, tax exemption for half a year must be tax exemption for half a year, there is no room for compromise."

Moreover, in the next step, the Duke will also rectify the official system and the city defense system, and all the officials and city defense officers and soldiers who do not do practical things for the people will be abolished, and some of the serious corruption in the past will be held accountable! ”

"You...... Duke, don't you care about the economy of Marina City? ”

Walker said gloomily.

Lin Chenyi sneered: "I've made up my mind, I'll also say it directly, what idea do you want to fight, it's best to weigh it!"

This is the fief of this duke, this duke has absolute control, you mess around, according to the laws of the dynasty, I will have the absolute right to dispose of it, you can try it. ”

Viscount Jin Long shook his head and sneered: "It seems that it is another idealistic little doll, since this is the case, then there is nothing to say, let's rely on our means." ”

"Don't give ......"

Walker and the others finally revealed their true colors, and they left the City Lord's Mansion angrily without even leaving a gift for Lin Chenyi.
