Chapter VII Fiscal Revenue (II)

"You!" There was no one else around, Alice seemed to feel that she couldn't deal with Meng Han, she was angry and anxious, but she immediately realized something, and asked in shock, "You, what did you just say?"

"Sister, the adults say he has a way to dissolve the curse of the twins. After watching the play for a while, Grace, who was anxious but couldn't stretch out her hand, finally found an opportunity to interject: "Moreover, yesterday the adults made it rain here." ”

"Rain?" Obviously, this transcendent celestial phenomenon made Alice fall into a state of distraction in an instant.

When Alice recovered from the shock, Meng Han had already taken out the letter of appointment with the signature of the king of the duchy from his personal pocket and sent it to her, along with the certificate that the taxes had been paid in full within ten years.

"Are you really Lord Lord?" Alice was completely stunned when she saw the letter of appointment, a little incredulous. However, immediately seeing the tax payment certificate at the back, his eyes instantly lit up: "Two hundred gold coins?sir, you actually paid the tax of two hundred gold coins?" As soon as her words came out, even Grace looked at Meng Han with a hint of a foolish expression.

"My lord, the tax here doesn't cost a single gold coin for a year!" Hearing something related to money, Grace's courage also increased, and she quickly interjected, reminding her anxiously that iron is not steel.

"Do you think I'm willing?" Thinking of this, Meng Han was angry, His Majesty the King rewarded him with two hundred gold coins, just to let him cover the heat on the road, and then all of them were snatched away by the earl. Now that the two girls are bringing up the old things again, it naturally makes him feel even more unhappy.

However, Meng Han only flashed this thought in his mind, but he didn't say it, and there was not the slightest expression on his face to show that he was in a helpless mood now, but his face was relaxed, and he snorted coldly: "Two hundred gold coins to buy ten years of taxes, it's just too cost-effective." ”

At this time, Grace and Alice didn't say anything again, just exchanged glances. Is this lord a madman with a mouth full of nonsense?

"Alice, what kind of income do we rely on here, how much can we earn every day?" Meng Han asked Grace, and Grace said that her sister Alice was in charge, and she was only responsible for arranging everyone's life here. As a lord, why should you also care about the financial income of the territory?

When the lord asked, Alice couldn't help but answer, but she was afraid that she would tell the real situation, which would be unacceptable to the young lord. After all, a lord who can lift the twins' curse and make it rain here is too important here.

Since Meng Han was taught a lesson by the Earl last time, he knew that if he was not careful here, he would die in Huangquan, although he didn't know if there was a boundary of Huangquan here, but it was better not to die or not to die. This strong sense of crisis is more urgent than when he couldn't find a job in his previous life, so observing words and emotions has become a compulsory homework for him every day.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for the worst. Alice's hesitation, Meng Han immediately guessed what the reason was. The income of the territory is low, he already knows it, he just wants to know how low.

The lord's smile made Alice forget the embarrassment that she had suspected her just now, and also forgot the worry that telling him the truth would make him retreat, so she lowered her head and reported to the lord in a low voice: "Every day, we can only hit a few magical beasts, all relying on the felled trees. Go to the market once every three days, where prices are low because of the twin curse. On average, we earn less than three silver coins a day, and we can't afford to buy the worst food. ”

As she spoke, Alice's voice grew lower and lower, and her head lowered and lowered, as if she had shrunk into her arms. She didn't dare to look up at the face of the lord in front of her, and she didn't know if the lord would turn around and leave. Although she suspected that Meng Han was a liar at first, but now that it was confirmed that he was the lord, she began to fear that she had finally gained some hope, and immediately turned into despair.

"Three silver coins!" Meng Han couldn't help but sigh when he heard this number.

He touched the gold coins, and a gold coin was about one or two weights, fifty grams, and according to the calculation of 200 yuan or 1,000 New Taiwan dollars per gram, almost one gold coin was 10,000 yuan or 50,000 New Taiwan dollars. One hundred silver coins is equivalent to one gold coin and three silver coins, which is about 300 yuan or about 1,500 new Taiwan dollars.

"How many people are there in Huangsha Town?" Meng Han asked again.

"There were eight hundred and forty-two in all, of whom fifty-six were too old and infirm to cut and hunt every day, and each time we went to the market, it took three days to go back and forth, and fifty men transported them on the way. The imaginary scene of the lord fleeing quickly did not appear, and Alice regained some composure, raised her head and replied quickly. She has already memorized these numbers.

More than 800 people live on three silver coins a day, and it is true that there is not enough money to buy food. You can't get enough to eat, let alone improve your accommodation. It's nice to have a house that people can live in.

"Is it hunting and logging that works every day?" As a lord, Meng Han had to ask this question clearly if he wanted to understand the source of income for his territory.

"Yes, sir. This time, it was Grace who answered. It seems that it is Grace who arranges the work in the territory.

"Thank you for your hard work. Looking at the thin appearance of the two sisters, Meng Han couldn't help but feel sad. At such a young age, it is not easy for them to bear the pressure of so many people's lives: "From today onwards, let me worry about these things!"

"Yes, sir. This time, the two women replied in unison.

"Ten years of taxes have been paid, and in the future, how much money we earn will be our own. Meng Han suddenly became high-spirited: "Starting from scratch, is there anything more exciting than this process?"

Grace and Alice looked at each other again, not knowing what the lord meant, so they could only speak quietly.

"I said that Huangsha Town will become the richest place in the world in the future, so that all the people in this world will not discriminate against you, do you believe it?" Looking at the performance of the two girls, Meng Han laughed, and after laughing, he said something that made the two women even more confused.

It's a weekend holiday, I want all kinds of tickets, free of charge, everyone support a lot!
