When Kalana saw that her people had won, she couldn't help jumping up, clapping her hands uncontrollably, ran to the epee warrior, stretched out her hand and patted the warrior's face, and couldn't help but say, "Great, great, great! You've done great, I've decided, you'll be the group leader in the future!"

Li Yunyang couldn't help but smile when he saw Kalana's excited appearance.

Karana turned her head, looked at Li Yunyang, and said excitedly, "Allen, how is it?

Li Yunyang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad." It seems that everyone is in good spirits, and they are all good fighters in the future!"

Karana turned and grimaced at Dylan. Even though Dylan is known for his expressionless face, at this time, he can't help but show a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Li Yunyang stood up, walked up to Dylan, reached out and patted Dylan's shoulder, and said, "Dylan, it seems that you have to come on." ”

Dylan nodded, and said, "Yes, Lord Allen. ”

Li Yunyang saw that the army construction of the Blory Territory had also been initially carried out, and he only needed to recruit more troops and train diligently, and he believed that soon the Blory Territory would become a powerful territory, even if the Scullin family attacked, there was no need to worry about it at all.

Li Yunyang walked around the territory a few times and saw a thriving scene.

When he returned to the Viscount's Mansion, the servant had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for Li Yunyang. Li Yunyang hadn't eaten a dinner party made by these servants for a long time, so he couldn't help but move his index fingers, and ate five or six bowls of rice in one go, and his stomach was bulging high.

Li Yunyang patted his belly, thinking to himself, it seems that it is a little difficult for him to train eight-pack abs. I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

After dinner, Robin found Li Yunyang, Li Yunyang took Robin into his room, sat on a stool with him, and said, "Uncle Robin, is there something wrong?"

Robin's face was slightly hesitant, and he sat down at night, and then paused before he spoke, "There are some problems with Brory's finances. ”

Li Yunyang saw that Robin sat down first before talking to himself, and knew that what Robin was going to say must not be a good thing. But the financial crisis, this is too. With so much business in Huimei Group, it is enough to feed this small Blory, not to mention the gold mine.

"No, didn't you say a few months ago that the profits of Huimei Group have doubled?" Li Yunyang tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

"Master Allen. You see, here's the income and expense account book for the month. Robin said, tremblingly took out a bill, Li Yunyang took it and looked at it, all the pieces were numbers, he couldn't help but have a headache, and said, "You just say it, I think this will go crazy, I'm allergic to numbers." ”

Robin paused slightly and said, "First of all, there is a lot of expenditure, and the construction in the recent period requires a lot of investment. The money earned in the first few months was only able to fill the vacancy of high-density feedlots, and then the high-paying people were hired to build garment factories, which required a lot of investment. Recruitment and replacement of military equipment also require a large amount of investment. ”

Li Yunyang listened to Robin's words, frowned slightly, his fingers slowly stroked his chin, although there was a lot of investment, but as usual, Huimei Group should be able to bear it, not to mention the gold mine.

"Originally, Huimei Group's taxes could completely fill these loopholes, but..."Robin couldn't help frowning tightly when he said this.

Li Yunyang asked, "It's just what?"

"The empire increased taxes on commerce. The tax paid by Huimei Group is as high as 60% of the profits. Robin couldn't help but frown tightly as he spoke.

Li Yunyang couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, with such a high tax, what else to play, even if he established a huge business group, the forty percent profit was not enough for his most basic operation.

After Li Yunyang was surprised, he frowned slightly, and said, "How can taxes be so outrageously high?"

"Yes, the stores under Huimei in each big city have received tax payment notices, and the fees paid are sixty percent. This month, Huimei Group's profit is very small, and there will be such a financial crisis. Robin spoke slowly, with a faint sadness on his face.

"Have all the taxes gone up?" Li Yunyang faintly felt that there seemed to be some mystery in this, even if the taxes were rising, there was absolutely no possibility of such an outrageous process.

Robin had a worried look on his face and said, "Although it has risen, it has not reached such a high level of Cheng Dù for the Huimei Group. ”

It seems that the empire intends to target the Huimei Group, is it worried that the Huimei Group will become bigger and deliberately suppress. Still is...

Li Yunyang's fingers kneaded his forehead slightly, and after a pause, he spoke, "What will happen if we don't pay taxes?"

"If you don't," Robin said slowly, "all the big cities will expel the Emi Group, including Emi Fur Shop and Emi Beast Butcher Shop." And in the future, it is impossible for Huimei Group's stores to open in the big city. ”

It's so ruthless. Li Yunyang sighed in his heart and said, "What do the lords of the various towns say?"

Robin paused before speaking, "The lords of the town also make profits from taxes, and if we pay a small amount of taxes to the lords of each town, maybe they won't sweep the storefronts of the Huimei Group out of the ground, but the profits of the storefronts in the towns are not as good as those in the big cities after all." And..."

"What's more?" What's wrong today, did you get up and forget to look at the yellow calendar? A lot of bad news made Li Yunyang have three big heads.

"If we don't pay the tax, the Huimei logistics station will be banned. Once the site of our logistics station in Ayutthaya is canceled, the entire logistics network will be paralyzed. Robin said with a sad face.

Li Yunyang was slightly angry in his heart, slapped his palm heavily on the table, and said, "This logistics station is originally convenient for the people of the empire, and the money we make from logistics is only a handful. These bastards want to ban logistics sites for the sake of Huimei Group's taxes?"

Robin sighed sadly and said, "There's no way. We've paid our taxes for this month. In addition, the construction of the current collar requires a lot of capital investment, so there are some financial problems this month. ”

I'll go, according to the rhythm of this tax, then I will build a yarn, even if it is built, a large part of the money I earn will serve the empire.

Li Yunyang gritted the root of his teeth and said slowly, "Does Stanny know about this matter?"

Robin nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "After Stanny found out, he immediately began to reduce the budget, reducing the cost of the garment factory, the high-density Warcraft breeding farm, and the armament to a certain extent. ”

Li Yunyang frowned and waved his hand, saying in his heart that these two old guys were too good at making claims, and the cost of armaments would definitely not be reduced. After all, the tree is very popular, and the economic development of the Brory Collar is very fast, which will definitely attract the covetousness of some lords, if there is no strong military reserve, let alone the Scarin family, even if it is a lord of a slightly larger lord, it is very likely to point fingers at the Brory Lord.

Li Yunyang waved his hand slowly and said, "Other expenses can be reduced, and the project of the garment factory can also be delayed." But the cost of armaments cannot be reduced. Most of the remaining profits are now given to Dylan, allowing him to continue his job of recruiting. ”

Robin had a look of surprise on his face, because recruiting soldiers and horses was the most expensive thing, and the soldiers recruited had to eat, drink, and live, and they had to be equipped with uniforms and equipment. These people are all able to eat, and the cost of food alone is a lot of money at the end of the day.

Robin knew that Li Yunyang was also upset at this time, so he didn't dare to say more, but he just owed a faint debt and said, "Yes, Young Master Allen." ”

After Robin left the Viscount's Mansion, he went straight to find Stanny. First, I want to relay Li Yunyang's words, and second, I want Stanny to find a way to persuade Li Yunyang that he should deal with the armament matter first.

Li Yunyang was lying on the bed, thinking about the whole thing in his mind.

Raising the tax on Huimei Group is a good thing for the empire, because the top management of the empire understands very well that even if the tax is raised to a high percentage, Huimei Group will not go out of business because of this, and will not dare not pay taxes. In order to survive, the only option is to accept this unfair treatment.

With Brory leading the current power, not to mention against the Imperial army, it is also very difficult to fight against the army of the Scullin family.

We have to get along with each other in a perfect way, and Li Yunyang still has a month to deal with this matter before paying taxes next month. If it can't be dealt with any longer, it is estimated that the project of the garment factory can only be postponed for a longer period of time, and then start when the progress of gold mining is carried out and the funds are in hand.

Li Yunyang thought about it, made a plan for the worst, and even thought about whether to let the main focus of Huimei Group be only in various towns, but he immediately vetoed this idea.

The consumption level in the town is too low, and the stores are set up in these places, which is simply not enough to supply the capital operation of Blory, and the big city is the market that Huimei Group must enter, and it must not be abandoned.

Li Yunyang couldn't think of a perfect way for the time being, and sighed slowly, it seems that being the master of a region is really not a worry-free thing, and it is not as easy as he expected.

Li Yunyang closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
