Bols stretched and walked out of the room, and immediately saw Wolf, who was patrolling the city walls not far away, and immediately restrained his movements.

Although he didn't have to worry about being attacked by the orcs here, Bols was still subconsciously a little afraid of these barbarian guys.

Although it had been two or three days since he had been on the Black Rock Plane, Bols's body had not fully recovered.

He was a tax collector from the Asturian Treasury because the kingdom had acceded to Solomon's request to build a teleportation circle of his own to bring the black rocks needed by the dwarves from the Black Rock Plane to the Far West.

A month earlier, Elder Borok had returned to Asturias and had formally agreed to form a company with Solomon and them, registered as Solomon Kai Co., Ltd.

Even after Solomon's explanation, the dwarves still didn't know much about commerce, but the important thing was that they knew that by doing so, they would get Black Rock from Solomon.

Regina also agreed to Solomon's request that the main body of the teleportation magic circle be built directly on the Black Rock Plane, instead of Asturias, because if it was built in the Asturian Teleportation Hall, the goods must first be teleported from the Black Rock Plane back to the Teleportation Hall in Asturias, and then teleported to the dwarves.

Solomon, of course, they didn't want to, because it would teleport twice, and while Black Rock was actually very low to almost no cost to Solomon, the cost of transportation would increase significantly.

And if the main body of the teleportation magic array is directly built on the black rock plane, it only needs to be teleported once, and only the teleportation light gate needs to be built in the dwarf, just like the current relationship between the black rock plane and the Asturias teleportation hall, the main magic array is in the teleportation hall, and the teleportation light gate is in the blackstone fortress.

It is important which side the main part of the magic circle is on, because it has the ability to actively cut off the teleportation channel.

However, in this case, Regina demanded that the Treasury must send a tax officer to the Black Rock Plane.

Because there was only a teleportation channel between the teleportation hall and Asturias before, no goods could bypass the teleportation hall, but now there is a passage directly to the dwarves, and it is normal for the Finance Department to send tax collectors.

This is the same as any city or gateway in the royal realm that has foreign trade activities, there will be tax collectors, who are responsible for collecting taxes and collecting them into the royal treasury.

Originally, there should be at least three people in a tax team, the tax officer, the accountkeeper, and the person responsible for weighing (that is, measuring the quantity and value of goods).

The only ones who are really recognized by the royal family are the tax collectors themselves, and the ones who do the accounts and weigh are often the assistants hired by the tax collectors, and sometimes they are paid from the salaries paid by the royal family, which are organized, which can be called the tax collectors' assistants, which are actually the lowest staff in the financial department; and sometimes even the tax collectors themselves pay their salaries and hire assistants, which do not even have the establishment of assistants, they are temporary workers, in order to reduce their work intensity.

The tax officer will pay his own salary to hire assistants, usually born in a city or port with a large volume of trade, this kind of place is generally too busy, the business volume is too large, the tax officer must be too busy, you must have an assistant, but when the Financial Department does not have so many assistants in the establishment, it will give a small amount of money to the tax officer, and you will hire it yourself.

This amount of money is often not enough, and small places are fine, but in cities or ports where commercial activities are reached, the standard of living is often higher than in other places, and if the tax collector wants to hire people, he has to add money, and the Financial Services Department will not recognize this part.

But there is no need to worry about the tax collectors, because the wool comes from the sheep, and the kingdom used to rely on the tax collectors to collect taxes, and they made it convenient for the merchants, and not only did the money for hiring assistants come out, but they also often made a lot of money themselves.

Therefore, Solomon reformed the tax system, starting with the system of companies that must be registered, and only those registered in the kingdom institutions have the qualifications to conduct business activities reasonably, and these registered companies must have detailed records of business activities and account books, which can be inspected by the kingdom at any time, increasing the difficulty and cost of collusion between tax collectors and merchants, and reducing the kingdom's losses.

With two kinds of assistants (theoretically, if there is a lot of money and too much work, you can ask for more money and weighers), the main work of the tax collector is to check whether the goods are in accordance with the rules of the kingdom, such as what contraband, or what the kingdom has declared forbidden to sell to foreign countries, will be stuck with the tax collector. In the same way, if something that is not allowed to be sold is exposed outside, and the kingdom traces it down from such and such a city, then the tax collector of this city with foreign trade activities will also bear the main responsibility.

Bols, however, had no assistant in the Black Rock Plane, and he had come in the same shuttle that merchants now used to travel between planes.

It's Solomon's, the transformed magic box, and now people give it a name called the shuttle box.

Of course, the feeling of ordinary people riding that is extremely bad, because that thing is only responsible for safety, not comfort at all, and once the teleportation starts, the person is locked up there, and it is impossible to get out until the destination.

Bols dreamed of being a knight for a while, but then his dream was shattered, and he was rejected by a knight when he screened his squire, and then turned to something else.

His uncle's wife, his aunt, was a minor nobleman, which gave his uncle the opportunity to reach the fringes of aristocratic circles and take a sum of money to get him into the Treasury as an assistant to the tax collector.

After seven or eight years of mixing like this, he became an old fritter, and the opportunity finally came, and he had the opportunity to become an official tax officer from the assistant tax officer recognized by the Finance Department, and this opportunity was the Black Rock Plane.

The potential of the black rock plane, only Solomon is really clear, everyone else is half-aware, and Regina only knows the black rock that the dwarves need the plane, if it can be sold, Solomon will have it.

But Solomon agreed to pay taxes to the kingdom for each transaction, which was certainly a support for Reginal, the chancellor of the exchequer.

So if you agree, you have to send a tax collector over, but in the information that the Black Rock Plane is seen by others, Solomon mentions that it is a backward and barbaric low-level plane, and even the metal mines are mostly underground, and the aborigines are also crude and ignorant and aggressive primitive dwarves.

Of course, no one wants to go to such a place, and to go there you have to take a shuttle, and every tax collector who takes the shuttle guard grits his teeth when he mentions this thing, but he has to sit down, because with the interests of Asturias in Yugudral, the royal family has sent tax collectors there.

This was due to the example of the merchants of the Commodity Exchange, who were the first to agree to pay taxes to the kingdom, so they were far more active in Yugular than the other merchants.

They hired a small number of guards to accompany them, but the greater reason was that the kingdom's troops on that side would prioritize their safety and ensure that their trade was as smooth as possible.

Under this demonstration, more and more merchants were willing to pay taxes to the royal family, and now the pressure returned to the kingdom's side, that is, the taxes were collected more and more smoothly, but it was becoming more and more difficult for the king's ** team to meet the trade requirements of the merchants.

As the merchants were no longer satisfied with the existing routes, the number of merchants who could not compete increased, and the merchants continued to demand that the kingdom expand its influence outwards so that they would have more sources of goods and dumping grounds.

The only way to do this is to increase the number of troops, but it is subject to the teleportation threshold, so Edward Ken gave Solomon a blank mandate, and you can know that it is really a bit of a headache for this.

In this case, of course, the tax collectors of the Treasury Department are willing to go to Yugudral, where the environment is similar to that of Keos, even if it is Farucion, although Faroucion is mainly controlled by the army of the three dukes, and the tax collectors of the royal family are not very happy there, but at least the living environment is not bad.

No one wanted to come to the Black Rock Plane, so Bols picked up the leak and took office.

Pols also came with the idea of suffering for a few years, but it was rare to have the opportunity to be officially promoted, but he did not expect that he would not be able to hire assistants at all. Most people also lack knowledge of the Black Rock plane, and no one wants to come.

However, Solomon promised to help him solve this problem, and would ask the craftsmen hired by Tongguò Maz to go back and help him find a suitable candidate.

Despite the poor environment of the Black Rock Plane, there are always people who are willing to take risks, just like Bols.

And Solomon promised that he would pay the salaries of these assistants, and Bols only had to declare to the outside world how hard he worked because of the poor environment, and he also paid part of his salary out of his own pocket to hire the assistants.

However, this also means that Pols should give Solomon some support and convenience in the future.

Yes, this is an exchange of interests, and both sides understand it.

Solomon reformed the tax system to the royal family and Regina, trying to eliminate the opportunities for corruption and fraud among the tax collectors, in order to make his own political capital upward, but this did not prevent him from using the tax collectors to make profits.

Since the teleportation magic array is still under construction, Bols's work has not yet begun.

Cecilia had done most of the work of the magic circle, but due to the poor environment here, she left the rest of the work to her proud disciple Luna.

Her other disciple, Agatha, would have liked to come here, but since she had just been promoted to a full-fledged magician, Cecilia forbade her to come because she feared for her safety.

Bols walked slowly forward, trying to find a place where there was no Wolf on the city walls and get a feel for the place.

However, when he climbed the city wall, he realized that there was someone in a position that he had just looked at below.

"Damn it!" Bols looked at him indignantly, and added, "Damn dwarves!"

There were two dwarves who occupied his ideal viewing position, and because of their height, he couldn't see anyone clearly below.

The two dwarves were a man and a woman, the male wearing full armor and a horned helmet, while the female dwarf was a little more special, not like the average female dwarf, but wearing the women's clothing of Asturias.

It's just that this costume is a shrunken version, but it is definitely an adult woman's clothing, not children's clothing.

Bols was a little strange, and as he hesitated, the ground suddenly trembled slightly under his feet.

He was startled, thinking there had been an earthquake.

Thankfully, the trembling had stopped, but some cheers could be heard from beneath them, the mages in the fortress.

They came out of nowhere, cheering, jumping, and even hugging each other, throwing their wands and mage hats into the air.

"It worked, it worked. ”

The Black Rock Plane leads to the extreme west of Keos, and the Dwarven Ice Lord's teleportation magic array has finally been through.
