The next night, everyone gathered together to finish their meal, and it was already customary to eat the food and fasurin of this era, and there were no potatoes, tomatoes, corn and other vegetables at this time, and medieval Europe was brought from South America during the Great Voyage.

Before anyone could sit down, Lance made a small report to Anthony: "Father, I have recently learned that it seems that our future duke will not be able to carry out the tax work this time. ”

Hearing this, Anthony hurriedly looked at Su Lin and found that his whole mental condition was very poor, as if he would fall asleep at any time, and the dark circles in his eyes were also very heavy.

Then he looked at Felicia again, and saw that she was becoming more and more radiant, and that she was more beautiful and beautiful, and understood what had happened.

Felicia saw her father's eyes and knew that he wanted to be crooked, she was so energetic today because Surin took a foot bath for herself last night and slept well, and Surin's poor spirit seemed to be her own problem!

Then Anthony looked at Surin again and said, "Do you have any explanation for Lance's report?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Reims doesn't seem to have figured it out, I'm going to report to you today that the tax work will begin immediately. Su Lin stood up and said with a smile.

However, as soon as his words fell, Lance immediately stood up and said with a look of disbelief: "Impossible, you have no way to make tax stamps at all, how can you collect taxes immediately." ”

When Anthony heard this, he also looked at Surin, waiting for his answer.

At this time, I saw Su Lin take out a round seal from his clothes, and then handed it to Anthony, at this time, he stayed up all night last night to finish it, so he had a pair of panda eyes.

After taking it, Anthony picked it up and looked around, and found that the bottom of the seal was a portrait, which looked elegant and noble, and it was also somewhat familiar.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he took the portrait seriously, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really good, let's take a look!"

After that, Anthony passed the seal down to everyone to see, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and even Angel's face was full of jealousy when she saw it.

However, Lance looked at it for a while and then said, "You can't get a tax stamp and want to fool around with this thing, do you think your father will be so easy to deceive?"

Regarding Lance's accusation, Surin didn't pay attention to it at all, but said directly to Anthony: "Your Majesty, due to technical reasons, tax stamps are indeed impossible to manufacture on a large scale, but I changed another method, since we can't affix tax stamps, let's just stamp the contract directly, the method is different, but the effect is the same." ”

In the previous life, the stamp duty was that the state printed the tax stamps, and people spent money to buy them and paste them on the contract or contract, but now it is just a direct seal, and a stamp is charged once.

Under Felicia's reminder, Surin quickly found a remedy, that is, to have people buy a house in the city, so that those who were not at ease with the contract could go there to seal it, which was guaranteed by the state, and I believe that no one would refuse.

Anthony didn't care much about these things at this time, he only told Surin to do his best to see how much tax he could collect when the time came.

After dinner, Surin and Felicia walked side by side towards the dormitory, only to hear Felicia's crisp voice come out first: "You finally don't have any worries this time!"

"There are always concerns, for example, tomorrow those big merchants will definitely be threatened by Lance and let them not participate. ”

"Do you have a solution to it?"

"Of course you have, and you don't look at who your man is. ”

"Since it's my man, I'll continue to massage my feet later. ”

Early the next morning, Surin and Felicia got into a carriage and headed for the city center, having already had the news spread that the princess was going there today.

After a while, Surin saw through the curtain that there was already a crowd outside, and it seemed that Felicia's reputation was still very useful.

These days, he also learned that Felicia had led an army to fight against orcs, so her reputation among the people was extremely high, and it also gave Su Lin a new understanding of his daughter-in-law, who could go to the battlefield and enter the cave room!

Seeing the eager anticipation on the faces of the people outside, Surin suddenly thought of an idea, so he pulled Felicia out and stood in the carriage.

When the people around saw Felicia come out, they immediately shouted loudly: "The princess has come out, it is Princess Felicia." ”

"Your Royal Highness, I love you. ”

Felicia seemed to be accustomed to the battle, smiling at the people around her, and then waving at them.

And Su Lin also waved to everyone with her at this time, which was familiar, and at the same time, he also leaned into Felicia's ear and whispered: "It seems that having a famous wife is also very good." ”

"You see their eyes like they're going to eat you, so you have to be careful when you walk. Felicia replied with a smile.

Then they were envious, jealous, and hateful. ”

With that, he reached out and put his arm around Felicia's shoulder, and the two seemed very close.

Sure enough, his action caused everyone's dissatisfaction, and the people below began to coax, but Su Lin didn't care at all.

Surin knew that the stamp duty was still very acceptable, but the big merchants must have received orders from Reims, and they would not openly oppose it, but they could at least not participate.

But this will make those small merchants and hawkers hesitate, after all, there must be a process of acceptance of novelty things, and those big merchants are like leaders, so Su Lin formulated two countermeasures, one is to use Felicia as the spokesperson of this stamp duty, and the other is to settle those big merchants himself.

At this time, there was still a little time before the official start of the event, so he went to a nearby tavern, and he learned that the most famous bosses in the city were there.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the tavern at the moment, they were dressed in very ornate robes, very different from the gray-shirted civilians outside, these people were all businessmen with heads and faces in the city.

At this time, a man in his fifties took the lead in speaking: "I think you also know that Prince Lance asked us not to participate in this event, what is your opinion?"

"If you have any opinions, just listen to orders. ”

"That's what I said, but I've carefully looked at this so-called stamp duty, just a copper coin and a stamp, it's too cheap to be cheap, and there is a state guarantee, which is a good thing for us!"

"I heard that Prince Reims had a conflict with that beggar, so he didn't let us participate, but can the person who can come up with this stamp really be a beggar?"

Just when everyone was chatting, they suddenly saw a young man come over, they stopped talking, and someone took the lead in asking, "Who are you?"

"I'm the beggar you said I was!" replied with a smile on his face.

"You're Surin, the one who created the stamp duty?" the man continued.

Su Lin nodded, and then said, "I'm here to talk to you about cooperation. ”

Wales, the oldest in the crowd, was also interested when he heard this: "Oh, how can we cooperate?"

Then Su Lin said slowly: "I believe you all have an understanding of this stamp duty, which means that from now on, if there is no seal on the contract, contract and other documents, it means that the state does not recognize it, which means that it is invalid." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought, they are all smart people, this point has actually been thought of a long time ago, and they also know that the so-called stamp duty must be paid, and the seal must also be stamped, otherwise they will not dare to sign a contract with others in the future.

Hearing this, Wales also took a sip of the wine in the cup, looked at Surin and said directly: "You don't need to be reminded of this, you still want to talk about how you want to cooperate with us!"

"Quite simply, if you are willing to pay a sponsorship fee, I can have Princess Felicia personally stamp and even sign your contract, and there are only a few of them, only ten. ”

Su Lin smiled and said the way of cooperation, the reason why he made this request is also a last resort, after all, the number of contracts and these things is not limited in one day, today is the first day of the implementation of stamp duty, not only to give the king a satisfactory explanation, but also to let others see that there are still many people who support this stamp duty.

As soon as these words came out, everyone else whispered, everything is scarce and expensive, Princess Felicia is now declaring, her signature is still very valuable, and it can be regarded as having a relationship with the royal family.

Su Lin was also quite apprehensive at this time, after all, these signatures have not yet become popular in this era, I don't know if they will be useful, but he underestimated the businessman's sense of smell.

Just as he was in a daze, he saw Wales slap the table and say loudly: "I will give her a thousand gold coins to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to write the name of our family." ”

When the others heard this, they also secretly said in their hearts: What an old fox, good enough, why didn't I think of this! It is more important than anything else to make the family's reputation carry forward.

"I also gave out a thousand gold coins with the names of my family on them. ”

"A thousand gold coins with my wife's name on it. ”

Looking at the excited people, Chu Dui's heart also smiled, he didn't mention Prince Lance after he came in, because he knew that the merchant's sense of smell was the most sensitive, and he also understood that even if he disobeyed Lance's name, he couldn't do anything with these people.

After getting rid of the men, Surin went out to meet Felicia again and told her about it.

After understanding what happened, Felicia also smiled and said: "It seems that my words are quite valuable, and if I am short of money in the future, I can just come out and sell my words." ”

"With me here, how can I let you come out to sell words, okay, the event is about to start, let's go out!"

With that, Surin led Felicia onto the round platform that had been set up earlier.
