"Mother, what taxes are levied on the territory?" Aldington asked in the carriage, and he suddenly found that the original owner was not interested in cultivation, but he also did not understand some other social affairs.

Baron Aurenor, who was in charge of the military and diplomatic affairs of the domain, and the finances of the domain, were in fact the concern of Madame Helena, so she was very clear about these taxes: "The largest sources of taxes for the castle are the two main taxes, the rent of the estate and the tax on the transactions of the market......"

In addition, there are various types of taxes.

For example, weekly labor, which is a form of service in lieu of taxes, and serfs in the territory are required to work four days a week for the lord; For example, in the season of labor, every harvest season, the lord has to put down all the work at hand to harvest the crops for the lord, and only after the lord has finished harvesting can it be his turn.

Another example is the mill donation, which stipulates that the lord must go to the mill of the castle to grind the flour and then pay a part of the flour; At the same time, the flour had to be brought to the castle's bakery to bake, and after baking the bread, a portion of the bread was also paid.

In order to obtain the right to raise poultry and livestock, the lord must give some of the poultry and livestock raised to the lord. For example, if a lord wants to raise chickens, he must give the lord a hen or a basket of eggs. If the lord wants to raise a pig, he must give the lord a pig hind leg when slaughtering.

There was also an inheritance tax, and after the death of a serf, the lord had the right to take back one of his best livestock, or a piece of furniture.

Forest land tax, a tax that the lord must pay if he wants to get the trees on the territory.

There were even strange taxes such as the education tax for sons and the marriage tax for daughters, and in short, the commoners under the jurisdiction of the territory, whether freemen or serfs, had to pay a lot of taxes for the lord. Together, these taxes account for one-third or one-half of the income of the lords each year.

This is the tax that the lords of the manor have to pay, and when they leave the manor and go to the market, they still need to pay the tax.

Needless to say, transaction tax must be paid as long as the transaction is made.

There is also a license tax, and anyone who wants to open a shop in the bazaar must obtain permission from the lord and pay the license tax.

Shop rent, because the bazaar belongs to the lord, and the lord needs to pay a high rent to the lord if he wants to get a trading stall in the bazaar.

Hearing all these various taxes, Aldington couldn't help but worry about the people living here: "Hmm, there are so many taxes, can the people afford them?" ”

Lady Helena, a standard noblewoman who grew up in an imperial count's family, did not approve of Aldington's sympathy: "The lord protects the lord from the threat of war, from the threat of War, Warcraft, and collects taxes as a matter of course. You must know that the entire town of Momiji is owned by the Iris family, and without our protection, the people will not be able to live at all. ”

This world is dangerous, unlike the situation on Earth.

War may be a man-made cruelty, but the monster is a real threat, rushing out of the forest and into the manor at any time, destroying crops and biting livestock to death are trivial things, and cannibalism is also a frequent occurrence. Therefore, civilians can only live under the command of lords with strong armies.

Old Lady Carly said suddenly, "The Iris family has always been kind, fearless to the strong, and merciful to the weak, this is a tradition left over from your great-grandfather, Aldington, and you also need to inherit the quality of kindness...... We don't charge all that messy tax. ”

"Collecting taxes has nothing to do with benevolence, and it doesn't mean that we are not merciful enough for the people, only enough financial resources can support us to arm more knights and better protect the security of the territory."

"Oreno has done a good job, and Aldington will continue to protect his territory well."

"This does not contradict tax collection, more taxes and more armaments, which can attract more people to settle down, and more people can have more children, so that the territory will continue to grow."

"The Iris family has been rooted in Red Leaf Town for one hundred and twenty-six years, and this place has become a fertile land, worse than the territory of any imperial baron."

Old Lady Carly and Lady Helena chatted like this all the way.

Aldington had already regretted asking such a question, and silently thought in his heart: "What a bad mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship...... Every time my mother was with my grandmother, I had to retreat. "Of course, I want to go happily, at least both of them are from noble ladies, and they maintain restraint from each other.

Otherwise, Butterfly Fort would have been in trouble a long time ago.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening, the last day of the resurrection time.

Aldington grabbed a few books from his study and went back to his bedroom, where he waited. He had already put on a set of rune armor and monster skin lining, and was holding a two-handed greatsword, with a one-handed sword and dagger hanging from his waist.

The entrance to the sea in the book appears, sparkling.

There are only ten minutes left in the countdown, and he can read the book for a while, and then enter the sea of books, but now he is not in the mood to read books at all, he just wants to go to the sea of books as soon as possible and kill the tiger.

Tick..

There seems to be the sound of a clock moving the needle in my ears, following the countdown count, and finally, the countdown has come to the end of "00:00:00".

A whirlwind of heaven and earth came over him, and the next moment, he was already on the beach where he had died before.

There was no sign of a tiger around, probably after eating the last Aldington, the tiger ran off to other places.

"Count yourself lucky, and I'll keep you alive a little longer." Aldington clenched his sword in both hands and walked along the bluestone path through the woods towards the center of the island.

Suddenly, in the bushes next to him, the sound of Suo Suo came.

Before Aldington could turn his head, several wild wolves rushed over, not monsters, just simple beasts. With his eyes like a shuttle, Aldington twisted his body, his two-handed sword like a harvester, and easily cut open the body of a wild wolf, blood spilled all over the ground.

The fighting spirit was infused, the big sword and tiger were vigorous, and in just a moment, seven or eight wild wolves fell all over the place.

"Last time it was a tiger, this time it was a wolf, it seems that this island is full of beasts." Aldington continued on his way, and there were only a few wild wolves, which was not enough to worry about.

He has been fighting with the monster for six days, and his combat power has already soared, and the Iris family started as a "wolf", starting from his great-grandfather, the phantom beast is the storm wolf king Hawke. Aldington knew exactly what the wolf was doing when he was a child, and it wasn't too easy to deal with.

Went a little further, and sure enough, a new beast struck, this time a black leopard.

Approaching in the form of a sneak attack, it almost hit Aldington, but unfortunately, it almost just missed, and it also fell under Aldington's big sword.

After killing the leopard, kill a few more wild boars.

Finally, the palace in the center of the island was similar to the palace on the first island, with a large exterior and an empty table inside.

On the table is a treasure chest made of silver.

"The first palace is still a golden treasure chest, and there is only a silver treasure chest left here?" Aldington was a little weak to complain, and at the same time touched his arms, but he did not touch the parchment treasure map in his arms, probably after the "resurrection", the parchment treasure map had been refreshed.

He was killed by a tiger before, and the blood power potion and Valkyrie wrench on his body were all taken out, but the parchment treasure map was not taken out.

At the time, I thought that the parchment treasure map was still on my body after the resurrection.

The box was not locked, and it was opened casually, and inside it was a familiar glass tube, picked it up and looked at it, sure enough, this was also the power of the thunder blood vein elixir.

Even the small words are not bad at all: "The more you take, the greater the probability of bloodline awakening." ”
