Cleaning tax and greening tax!

Lin Qi and Long Cheng walked slowly to the front of No. 1 Shenghui Street, and when they heard the tax officials say the names of these two taxes in a serious manner, the two of them almost hugged their bellies and laughed. Titian's guy is really not a good citizen, and these two taxes are really remarkable.

As the son of the vice-minister of the empire, Titian naturally had a strong influence in the civil service system of the empire, and I don't know how many civil officials wanted to pat him on the back. As the nephew of the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, Titian had terrible control over the imperial tax department, and even the chief tax officer of the Imperial Capital Tax Department was Titian's father who personally arranged for him to be the father of one of his little lovers.

So it's logical that these tax collectors are here.

Linzi had told Titian last night that since Elham and the others seemed to be in financial crisis, it was better to give them a stone before they could solve this huge problem, so that their already shriveled money would be completely dried up. Trouble for them, all sorts of troubles, forced them to bow to Titian.

If they did not bow to Titian and chose to leave the imperial capital, then Lin Qi would be happy to see it - the combat effectiveness of Uncle Barr and Aunt Lily in the wilderness is not comparable to ordinary people. And there were no dragoons and bronze hats in the wilderness, Lin Qi could easily eradicate this group of men and women who harbored malice towards him.

The door of No. 1 Shenghui Avenue slowly opened, and a handsome man in a black robe leaned out of the crack in the door. This man is the mage who used to use the frost magic of the Green Rose Hotel, and he is also the first mage of Elham's side, Torin.

Looking at a few tax collectors with cold eyes, the cold air released from Torin's body made several tax collectors shiver.

"What are you doing?" Thorin's voice was as cold as his expression.

The tax officer who led the team said in a low and majestic voice: "We belong to the Imperial Capital Tax Department, and we specially levy a special cleaning tax of 2,000 gold coins from you. The greening tax is 120,000 gold coins, a total of 122,000 gold coins, please pay the tax immediately, and don't delay our time. ”

Apparently Torrin froze, his eyes stiffened and he stood still for a long time. After a long time, Tollin stammered, "What? What is the special cleaning tax? What is the greening tax? Are you kidding?"

The tax collector said majestically, "Not a joke, young man, and ask your master to pay his taxes quickly. Otherwise, the Imperial Court will sue you for violently resisting taxes, and you may be in big trouble. ”

Tollin's lips turned gray, and he shouted, "I've never heard of any special cleaning tax and greening tax, and I've never heard of this kind of tax in the entire Western Continent!"

The tax collector looked at Torin sternly. He said lightly: "Young man, this is a new tax that was just formulated by the Imperial Tax Department yesterday. It was winter, the snow was very thick, and the workers hired by the Imperial Capital City Hall kept Shenghui Street clean and hygienic, and there was not even a little snow on the ground, and the special cleaning tax was to increase their salaries and benefits. ”

With a cold snort, the tax official said sternly: "Such a long Shenghui Avenue can be maintained spotlessly throughout the winter. Is this going to be paid for by the Imperial Treasury?, a special cleaning tax of two thousand gold coins per household, which all the inhabitants of Shenghui Street have to pay. ”

Torin was at a loss, it seemed that this made a lot of sense, not only Shenghui Street, but even the dozen or so branch roads of Shenghui Street were cleaned and cleaned, and there was no snow at all. To be able to do this in the cold winter of the western continent, in the ghost weather of frequent snowstorms, the manpower and material resources invested by the city hall are extremely huge.

It makes sense to levy this tax.

Since childhood, he has received a closed elite education. Torrin, who had never seen a ghost in people's hearts, asked blankly, "So, what about the green tax?"

The tax collector smiled reservedly, and when he saw Tollin's expression, he knew that the hairy boy had accepted the term special cleaning tax. Then the rest of the things will be easier to do, he put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Green tax, the whole Shenghui Street." No. 1 and No. 2 Shenghui Avenue are backed by the International Botanical Garden, and it is obvious that the International Botanical Garden has become the backyard of the two of you!"

Torin was stunned again, it seemed to make sense? The backyard of No. 1 Shenghui Avenue and the International Botanical Garden are fundamentally connected, and the ancient trees on both sides are connected by branches and leaves. There is no distinction between each other at all. Standing on the terrace of No. 1 Shenghui Avenue on weekdays, you can see the boundless lush trees of the International Botanical Garden at a glance, which is a pleasing beauty!

"So, you get it, in order to keep these trees evergreen in the winter, the Empire has to invest a lot of money. As two houses on Shenghui Avenue No. 1 and No. 2 that have enjoyed the benefits of the Botanical Garden of Nations, you must pay the green tax! You must pay the tax for the fruits of the greenery you enjoy!" The tax collector triumphantly tapped the heel of his boot with his cane, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

Just when Torin was at a loss, the gate of No. 2 Shenghui Street suddenly opened, and a graceful old man in well-dressed clothes walked slowly towards this side, supported by several guards. Walking up to several tax collectors, the old man took out a golden ticket of 122,000 gold coins from his pocket and handed it to the tax collector: "I heard that the Imperial Department of Taxation is going to levy a special cleaning tax and a greening tax? ”

The old man smiled and said, "These two taxes should have been levied a long time ago. Ladies and gentlemen, please send my tax receipts to my office later, you know my office address, don't you?"

The old man smiled and nodded to Tollin, then walked away with his head held high like a proud old rooster, surrounded by the guards.

Torin was completely stunned, this old man actually took the initiative to pay the 122,000 taxes, obviously these tax collectors were not lying, the empire did start to collect these two special taxes. But hell, now where are Elham going to find the 120,000 gold coins?

Ya and Ling had lost all their funds, and the matter was still top secret, and they didn't tell anyone about it at all.

What to do? What to do? Do you have to ask for help from home? God, the other siblings, and the competitors, what are they going to think of El Ham and his gang? They have been like this for a few days after they have left home, and they can't hold their heads up again.

But one hundred and twenty-two thousand in taxes!

Tollin's head was big for a while, and he said weakly, "Please wait a moment, I, I'll go, I'll go and make an announcement." ”

Behind a cluster of flowers and trees across the road, Lin Qi was already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
