Chapter 1396: Taxes
Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.
Ye Li secretly pondered for a moment, the primary use of the funds he needed now was the construction of the camp and the monthly expenses of nearly a thousand people under his command.
The monthly offerings of this group of people are high and low, and they are all graded according to their strength, and after a rough estimate, Ye Li understands that the expenditure he needs to spend on monthly offerings in a month is almost three thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Of course, among the three thousand high-grade spirit stones, the majority is mainly given to the spirit martial artists above the gestation period, and the spirit martial artists who are below the gestation period are not much for a month.
Even for spirit martial artists below the elixir stage, Yue Feng is calculated based on medium-grade spirit stones, so in general, three thousand high-grade spirit stones should be enough.
And the construction of the camp, the purchase of materials and items, a month's food, and the cost of pills, almost 10,000 high-grade spirit stones are needed.
And now Ding Si has sent a secret letter to Li Rushan, asking Li Rushan to mobilize three thousand elite soldiers and casters, as soon as this group of people comes, he needs to spend at least another 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the funds of the 500,000 just now have been removed by more than one-tenth in a blink of an eye.
Only then did Ye Li understand how much it would cost a country to raise hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers every year.
If he couldn't find a way to earn enough spirit stones, then the army of 10,000 people he had built could only be raised by Li Rushan.
And Li Rushan's funds cannot be unlimited, relying on his industry alone, maybe he can't afford to support such an army at all.
Moreover, Ye Li still wanted this legion to forge spirit cannons and snowman puppets, and the expenses at that time were definitely a huge number beyond his imagination.
"You give me 100,000 high-grade spirit stones first, I estimate that this money won't last too long. ”
Ye Li said to Du Li.
Although Du Li was a little curious about how Ye Li wanted to use the 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and then ordered someone to take them for Ye Li.
Soon, someone walked up to Ye Li with a box.
The box was only the size of a human head, and it didn't seem to hold many spirit stones, but when Ye Li opened the box, he found that the box turned out to be a space prop.
The inside of the box is similar to the structure of a Qiankun bag, allowing it to hold a full 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Putting the box in his arms, Ye Li said to Jinbao, "If I build a city in Dongfang County in the future, you should come and set up a shop, right?"
Du Li nodded and said, "We should set up a branch in the past, after all, even if it is a new city, it is also a city."
As a marginal county, Dongfang County is very attractive to the native people of the Tang Kingdom, but it is very attractive to other people who are excessive on the border.
If the Jinbao can be opened, there will definitely be a lot of businessmen who do border business here and cooperate with us, so the benefits are still quite large. ”
Ye Li nodded and said, "As long as you come over, with your presence, it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things in the future." ”
After getting the spirit stone, even if Ye Li's mission to come to Alpine City was completed, he left the Jinbao directly without much delay and rushed back to Dongfang County.
At this time, the camp was still under construction, and Li Rushan's side had not yet replied to the matter of sending troops over, so Ye Li returned to the manor to practice on his own after handing over part of the funds to Ding Si at his disposal.
He had only been practicing for a short time when a family member came knocking on his door.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Li asked.
"Young Master, the three mayors are coming to you, do you want to meet them?"
The people outside the door arrived.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be Wang Yue and them coming, obviously it must be related to taxes, so he nodded and said, "You ask them to wait for me in the living room, and I will go over immediately." ”
After giving the command, Ye Li completely detached himself from his cultivation state, and then left the room and walked towards the direction of the living room.
Soon, he came to the parlor, where the three mayors were already waiting.
Seeing Ye Li walk in, the three of them instantly showed an incomparably flattering smile on their faces, and said, "I've seen Lord Lord!"
"Why do you three have time to come here today, are you planning to pay my taxes!?"
Ye Li asked with a smile.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately smiled even brighter, and said, "My lord, we are indeed here to pay your taxes.
You're right, you're the owner of the land, and it's too uninteresting for us to go against you.
Now we have figured it out, the tax itself is your thing, and you also have to hand over part of it to the imperial court, if we don't pay the tax, you can't give an explanation to the imperial court.
We are all your people, and we must not embarrass you. ”
Wang Yue's words were very good, if it weren't for Ye Li's many conflicts with them at the beginning, knowing their faces, maybe he would still believe it.
However, Ye Li will not take the other party's words seriously now, he knows that even if the other party chooses to pay taxes, it can only be because his arms can't twist his thighs.
They knew that they couldn't fight Ye Li, so they could only choose to compromise.
Because after compromise, they can still maintain their position in the towns, and they can continue their industry.
If you keep fighting with Ye Li head-on and force Ye Li to take them by force, let alone the industry under your name, it will be a question of whether you can keep yourself.
However, as the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since the three of them are singing praises to Ye Li, Ye Li will definitely not speak ill of each other.
"It's great that the three mayors can understand.
Although I am a lord and own the whole land, I also need your help and help.
You are the people who are most familiar with this place, if you can be a good mayor with peace of mind, after the development of Dongfang County in the future, you will not get less benefits than now. ”
Ye Li said with a smile.
When Wang Yue and the others heard this, they hurriedly smiled and said, "That's ...... That is, the lord is so wise and powerful, it is absolutely not a problem to govern an Eastern County well.
With your leadership here, Dongfang County will develop ten times faster, and in the near future, it will definitely become a prosperous county. ”
After the two sides were polite, Wang Yue and the three handed over three boxes and three books.
took the box and took a look, this is naturally also a space prop, which is used to hold spirit stones.
In the three books, the income and expenditure of the three towns this year are recorded, which is used to calculate the ransom.
Putting the account book and box aside, Ye Li chatted with the three of them for a while, and then the three of them said goodbye and left the manor.
Ye Li also called Ding Si in and asked him to count the number of spirit stones against the account books to see if the amount of taxes was correct.
