Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Yu Chen took a comfortable bath, and the two sisters helped Yu Chen massage his back, this was the first time Yu Chen had taken such a comfortable bath since the last serious injury. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stand down. The mist in the bath was steaming, and Yu Chen motioned for the two sisters to go out, he wanted to stay alone for a while.

"Yes, master, meow!" said Shana and Shana bowed to their master, and quietly closed the bathroom door.

The white steam was filling, and Yu Chen was a little lonely in the huge bathroom, he was looking at himself in the water.

"There are more scars. Yu Chen muttered to himself as he buried himself underwater.

A few hours had passed, and even the butler was a little worried that the new baron had fainted in the bathroom, and he was just about to order the servant to take a look, when Yu Chen pushed open the bathroom door.

Yu Chen, who had just come out of the bathroom, was wrapped in a white bath towel, his eyes were very bright and he seemed very energetic, but his hair was a little messy, and Yu Chen just wiped it indiscriminately.

When he saw the new baron come out, the butler immediately greeted him, he had already prepared his new clothes, and the butler took the new lord to the bedroom.

Xana and Xanai quickly changed clothes for Yu Chen, and Yu Chen looked at the huge room, and he knew it was time to get down to business.

First of all, at Yu Chen's request, the butler presented Yu Chen with the accounts of the Barony of Ferrol. Yu Chen looked very carefully, and he felt that he needed to figure out the economic situation in his territory.

The annual income is about 5~80,000 gold coins, Yu Chen already has a number in his heart, and he also knows that this is already a lot of income for a baron. After deducting all the expenses, there is a surplus of at least 20,000 gold coins per year, and it seems that the Barony of Ferrol is in a pretty good financial position. The reason why the income fluctuates so much from year to year is because at least half of the income in the barony comes from Baron Ferrol's own estate, that is, vineyards and wineries.

After Yu Chen learned about the importance of the wine industry, he did not forget the ordinary tax, he saw the agricultural tax, half of the tax rate?

Yu Chen doesn't know much about economics, but from the most intuitive point of view, he feels that this figure is a bit eye-catching.

"Has the agricultural tax always been like this?" Yu Chen didn't understand, but he could ask someone who understood, and he asked the housekeeper his question.

"Back to my lord, the agricultural tax sometimes changes, but it has been like this for the last fifteen years. The butler replied quickly, and he tried to make a good impression on the new Baron.

Yu Chen was silent for a few seconds, he didn't understand why the gap between the commercial tax and the agricultural tax was so big, the commercial tax in the Barony of Ferrol was only twenty-five percent, while the agricultural tax was as high as fifty percent, which made Yu Chen very puzzled.

"How can there be such a big gap between the commercial tax and the agricultural tax?" Yu Chen then asked the housekeeper his own question.

The butler looked at the new Baron, and he was considering his words: "Tell you, the main income of your domain depends on commerce, so in order to attract more business travelers, the previous Baron only increased the business tax by ten percent on the basis of the kingdom's tax. ”

The butler ordered that he didn't want to say anything about the agricultural tax, and it stands to reason that the new master who was born in the 'aristocracy' should know this.

Yu Chen listened carefully, and he understood from the housekeeper's mouth that the light commercial tax was for the development of commerce, but what about agriculture? Wouldn't such a heavy tax make the peasants lose money?

When Yu Chen realized the problem of agricultural tax, he guessed a possibility, but Yu Chen never cared, he never realized that farmers could not leave the land where they lived at will!

Yu Chen had been living in an ivory tower since he first set foot on this land, and he finally realized how shallow his knowledge of this continent was.

"Farmers can't leave their land, right?" Yu Chen put down his accounts, wondering if his guess was true.

Hearing the new lord's inquiry, the butler couldn't remain silent, he didn't expect that the new baron really didn't understand the doorway.

"Yes, sir. The peasants in the barony are your serfs, and they do not have the right to leave their land unless they have your permission. ”

Hearing the butler's answer, Yu Chen fell silent, he couldn't imagine the life of these peasants after growing up in the jungle.

I must be sad to lose my freedom. Yu Chen got up, and he looked at the town from the window.

"What about the people in the town?" Yu Chen looked at the bustling streets, he didn't want the town to be tied down like the peasants in the village.

"The town is full of free people, only the peasants are bound to the land. ”

The butler's answer made Yu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, he really couldn't imagine a life without freedom.

Yu Chen was still carefully looking at the entire account, and he knew that the existence of a system must have its reason for existence. Yu Chen is the baron of the kingdom, he can't change the existing system, Yu Chen doesn't want to change, he knows too little about the kingdom, he still needs to make a field trip.

It was already late at night, and the housekeeper prepared a supper for the new master, and Yu Chen didn't even eat dinner in order to read all the financial statements.

"Master, just leave this to me. The butler was more and more puzzled by the new baron, he didn't expect the new lord to do such a thing, if it was the former baron, he would have handed over the matter to his subordinates, after all, most nobles would not waste their time on this kind of thing.

"Okay, that's all for today. Yu Chen closed a stack of parchment rolls, there are many more parchment rolls like this, if you really want to read them all, it will take a long time.

Without Yu Chen's instructions, the housekeeper ordered someone to clean the study, and it only took a few minutes for Yu Chen's desktop to be as clean as ever.

The butler had been waiting outside Yu Chen's bedroom, he was still waiting for the baron's orders, and the butler was waiting by the new lord's side that day, and he was trying his best to show his presence to the baron.

Xia Nai removed the dinner plate for the master, Xia Na also made a big bed for the master, and Yu Chen chose to rest after washing his face. On the first day he came to the barony, Yu Chen had a glimpse of a corner of the aristocratic world, and he wanted to know more, so Yu Chen had already made a decision.

Fifty percent is definitely a glaring number, Yu Chen plans to see the lives of the peasants in his territory with his own eyes, as a person who grew up in the world of the jungle, Yu Chen knows that life is full of hardships. (To be continued.) )
