In the tax hall, a middle-aged tax official with a numb look received Leon in front of him: "Human, you need to pay 30 gold coins to apply for a business permit for a merchant group in Monet City. ”

This price, Lyon has been inquiring about it before, in fact, the price of a business license, in every city, is about the same. So, without any surprised expression, Leon handed the 30 gold coins that he had already prepared to the expressionless tax collector in front of him. Then, another badge was taken from him.

This badge heralded that the caravans of Lyon had been allowed to sell goods in Monet for ten days.

"Okay, I wonder if there are any valuables in your sale?" asked the tax officer again.

"Valuables?" Leon was a little confused, obviously unaware that there was such a rule.

"Hahaha, I don't even know about valuables, are you really a caravan?" Beside Leon, another merchant who was going through the formalities couldn't help but laugh when he heard Leon's puzzled question, with a look of seeing a rookie.

"Valuables are those that are precious and scarce, or that only your caravans have, and we encourage each caravan to provide the best goods for Monet, and if there are valuables, we will provide them with the corresponding tax exemptions. The tax officer raised his head and glanced at Leon with some surprise, this is something that all caravans know, he has been a tax collector for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen a caravan that does not know valuables.

In fact, the duty-free policy for valuables is available everywhere. This is also to encourage the merchant groups that run around the country to take out their goods in the city of Monet. After all, there are some particularly rare goods that can be sold at a high price in big cities, but in Monet, where the number of people is limited, there is a lack of competition, and even those with financial resources will not give too high a price.

So, in such a situation, Monet City introduced such a policy. In fact, not only Monet, but also most other cities have chosen this way. After all, small cities also have their own advantages, and policies are relatively flexible.

Behind the small city, there are only one or two families in power, so if you want to change any policy, you can change it very quickly. And those big cities don't have such convenience. Even if it is a small change, from being proposed to being finally passed, I don't know how many times it will have to go through wrestling.

Therefore, these tax exemption policies in small cities are also out of helplessness. After all, the prosperity of a city is inseparable from these merchants, the goods produced by themselves need to be sold to the outside world, and the daily life of city residents also needs goods from other cities to support. After the population has exceeded a certain base, it is no longer possible to support itself through self-sufficiency.

Out of his duty, the tax officer gave an explanation. For these tax collectors, every caravan that arrives needs to be treated well. Because, they are the source of funds for the city, the tax guarantee.

However, other businessmen, who are also competitors, will not be so easy to talk to. A Tiger Clan merchant by Leon's side was the leader of another caravan. At this time, they are also applying for their own sales permits. Seeing that Leon didn't know what a valuable item was, he had a look on his face looking at the dirt bun, and a sneer came out of his mouth.

"Cut, I don't even know what valuables are, at first glance, it's the son-in-law of which family, and when his head is hot, he comes out to run the business. I'm telling you, it's not that simple to be a businessman, don't lose your pants when the time comes. ”

Maybe you see the well-equipped person who accompanies Leon, and the Slovey next to him is also well-dressed, like a noble family. So the tiger head people mistook them for the children of rich families, naïve teenagers who wanted to make a fortune whimsically.

However, on the barren plains, the nobles were not as powerful as the Human Alliance. Because, no matter how powerful the nobles are, they only control a city. Therefore, when the tiger head man taunted, he did not have a worried expression. After all, there are too many cities on the barren plains, and offending one of them will not cause you much trouble.

As soon as the tiger-headed man's words fell, the other merchants present laughed along, and a richly dressed pig-headed man laughed while agreeing with his words: "Perhaps, before they go to a few cities, they will go home crying to find their mother." Haha"

The other merchants also burst into laughter, and for a moment, the entire tax hall was filled with laughter. For these merchants, the appearance of each new merchant group means that they have another enemy. If possible, they will definitely spare no effort to suppress it.

"Hmph, a bunch of clowns, ignore it. Seeing that Leon's face turned blue, and his hand was already on the sword at his waist, as if he wanted to make a move, Slovy stopped him.

Slovy has seen a lot of such scenes. Although at this time, Slovy still looks like a teenager. However, before he returned to settle in the Twilight Hills, he also led a caravan and made a name for himself on the barren plains. He has seen a lot of the tricks of these businessmen.

And Charles will send him out to follow this caravan, also out of this consideration. The various doorways in the caravan need to be taught by Slovey to the mercenaries of Thor's Hammer little by little in the process of doing business.

Therefore, when the tiger-headed man made a mockery, Slovy did not speak, he wanted to see how this group of mercenaries would face such a situation.

However, when he found out that Leon wanted to do it, he had to stop them. There are businessmen's rules among businessmen, and there are businessmen's solutions to solve problems. Drawing a sword against each other if you don't agree with each other is a mercenary rule, but it doesn't apply to businessmen.

Slovy shook his head secretly in his heart, this group of mercenaries was still too immature. No wonder Charles told me to keep an eye on them before leaving.

After calming Leon, Slovy lifted his eyelids and glanced at the merchants present. Although they did not speak, under Slovy's eyes, all the merchants quickly stopped laughing as if they had been choked by the neck.

No one knew why, and everyone felt a chill run through their backs as they swept over Slovy's eyes, as if they were being targeted by a powerful hunter. There is no more ridicule. It wasn't that Slovy used any magic, it was the majesty of being a superior being.

After reacting, the group of merchants looked at each other, and they were all very surprised. I was shocked by a look just now, and I couldn't believe it.

"What's the matter, having money in the family doesn't make you lose like this, sooner or later you will lose your family business. The tiger-headed man who was the first to speak felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but say another word. It's just that the voice is so low that only a few people around him can hear it.

Ignoring his voice, Slovis turned calmly to face the tax collector in front of him. Leon boy, watch carefully, and next, I will tell you how the dispute between merchants is resolved. [.]
