Ji Jing's eyes were strange, and she glanced back and forth between Chu Kun and Hua Ying, muttering something in her mouth.

After explaining Ji Jing's affairs, Chu Kun then took the three of them to the city lord's mansion to deal with internal affairs, although Ji Jing's personality seems to be a little jumpy, but she is actually very careful, and it is best to let her be responsible for managing and sorting out the information.

And Hua Ying's personality is calm and orderly, in Chu Kun's heart, she should be a pretty good role similar to a housekeeper, responsible for the overall management of government affairs inside and outside Wutong City, although it seems to be nothing, but in fact, the workload is quite large, and the big one is a little scary.

At least if Chu Kun is allowed to do these things, not to mention whether he has enough ability to deal with those things, it is the time taken up by dealing with those affairs, so that he can't spare a minute to think about things to improve his strength.

"Hua Ying, what do you think about the rental and sale price of the pù store in the city, as well as the collection of tax percentages?" Chu Kun sat upright, his right hand resting on the arm of the chair, looked at Hua Ying opposite and asked.

The city is changing, most of the bosses in the city have been recalled to the main city of the system, without the boss, the inn restaurant will naturally not be able to operate, the most important thing at the moment is to rent and sell some of the shops first, so that the gold coins obtained from the rental and sale can alleviate the urgent need of Chu Kun's shyness, and the most important thing is that it can restore part of the order.

Hua Ying thought for a moment and said, "Now there are 600 shops in the city, and if you want the city to restore order to normal, you have to rent and sell at least a third of it." Hua Ying slowly analyzed and said: "It's just that the purchase of the store pù needs to be registered as a citizen of Wutong City. In the current situation we are in, most people will have concerns in their hearts if they want to register as a city citizen. After all, once the identity is registered, it cannot be changed until the city falls. ”

"In this case, we can only rent the store pù out, and we can set different prices according to the location of the store, the size of the store, and so on." Hua Ying said in an orderly manner.

"It's just...... Regarding the collection of tax percentages, it is necessary to think about it. Frowning slightly, Hua Ying continued: "The tax rate is charged from a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 25%. Special treatment in special circumstances, the current situation must not be too high tax, it is best to compress it to less than 10%. In this way, although the wealth collected will be reduced by a large part, the most important thing now is to restore the normal order of the city as much as possible......"

Chu Kun nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"But if you reduce taxes too low, you will be able to remove the threats around you in the future. If you want to improve, it will be a little troublesome...... "This is also what Hua Ying is more worried about."

The tax revenue of the shop pù in a city is the main source of income for the lord's mansion. If the tax is set too low at the beginning, if you want to raise it in the future, you will face a lot of trouble, everyone has a corresponding rebellious mentality, it is easy to go from high to low, but it is difficult to go from low to high.

"In that case, let's tentatively set the tax rate at 10%, and then you will draw up the list and post it, as for the rest of the matter. It's better to wait for the moment before thinking about it......" Chu Kun sighed lightly, this is also a matter of no choice.

"That's right. After the list is posted, you can find someone to spread some news appropriately, saying that because of the reason that the city has just changed, in order to give everyone an adaptation period, the tax will be temporarily reduced. How to implement it is up to you to decide what to do. ”

With this spreading news, there will be less resistance when tax revenues are raised in the future. As for why this news is not written directly on the list, it is also based on people's psychological considerations.

Hua Ying showed a look of approval when she heard this, and she also thought of the beauty of this method.

"Tang Lie, although there are knife marks in the mercenary group to maintain the city guard this month, it is not a long-term solution to rely on the mercenary group alone, so after a period of time, after ten days and a half months are relatively stable, you can start recruiting the city guard." After assigning the tasks of Hua Ying and Ji Jing, Chu Kun finally looked at Tang Lie.

"As for the last few days, let's get familiar with the environment in the city with the Knife Mark Mercenary Group." Chu Kun said.

With the strength of Tang Lie's awakening level, if he acted together with the Knife Scar Mercenary Group, which was only the strength of the fiftieth level of the professional rank, he might cause some trouble if he didn't handle it well, after all, with Tang Lie's strength, how could he be willing to obey the command of the only professional level scar.

And the mercenary group of the knife mark as a whole naturally can't tolerate the rest of the people pointing fingers, even if Tang Lie is at the awakening level.

The reason why he knew that Chu Kun was still arranging these things was to test his adaptability and handling ability, after all, what Tang Lie would have to manage in the future was the security guard of the entire Wutong City, not just the high strength.

Tang Lie's eyes were calm, there was no expression of surprise, and he did not refute Chu Kun's arrangement.

……

It was already dark outside, and before you knew it, it was evening, and in about two or three hours, the city would be covered in night.

Chu Kun left the City Lord's Mansion, and Tang Lie's figure was half a step behind and followed Chu Kun's side.

The place where Chu Kun is going right now is the temporary station where the Knife Scar Mercenary Group is located, not far from the southern city wall, if there is any movement outside the city, he can react as soon as possible.

At this time, except for the south gate, the remaining three gates have been closed, and the other three have moats, which may not be very useful if it is a monster tide, but it can still be blocked if it is used to prevent humans.

Coming to the temporary station of the Knife Scar Mercenary Group, there were mercenaries with strict expressions patrolling back and forth, although the station was in the city, but the mercenary group did not relax in the slightest.

"Stop!" As soon as Fang approached, a team of mercenaries immediately surrounded and stopped Chu Kun and the others.

"Wutong City Lord Chu Kun, please also inform the head of the Knife Marks." Chu Kun reported his name.

The mercenary didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and after saying a little later, he immediately sent a person to trot into the station to report.

After a while, the mercenary went and returned, followed by a tall man with a calm demeanor, the man saw Chu Kun from a distance, strode past the mercenary who led the way in front of him, and came to Chu Kun.

"Join the Castle Lord." The knife mark placed his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and saluted.

"Captain Scar doesn't have to be polite." Chu Kun waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Lord of the City, please come with me." The knife mark looked left and right, and his right hand was drawn in front of him, and he said to Chu Kun.

Following behind the knife marks, Chu Kun looked at the situation of the station all the way. I saw a team of ten mercenaries patrolling back and forth in the station, except for the sound of the armor on their bodies when they walked around, the rest was very quiet, and it seemed that the camp was extremely strict.
