Seeing Ye Li enter the house, the three of them saluted Ye Li with an extremely respectful attitude, and said, "Lord Lord, you have worked hard to make a trip!"

Ye Li looked at the performance of the three of them, and there were some doubts in his heart, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the other party's attitude.

If the other party is really respectful to him, it is actually a good thing, but judging from the current situation, the respect on the other party's face is obviously pretended.

"It's okay, I just came to Dongfang County, and I'm not familiar with this place, but now I can take this opportunity to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment, after all, it's my own territory, and I always have to be able to find my way. ”

Hearing Ye Li say a few words about his territory, the smiles on the faces of Wang Yue and the others froze, and then they relaxed again.

"Yes, yes, Lord Lord, you should familiarize yourself with the environment here. ”

Wang Yue said.

"Your lord, sit down first, and I'll have a good cup of tea for you right away. ”

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he quickly asked Ye Li to sit down, and then instructed the people outside to prepare tea.

Qian San and Ding Si were very well-behaved, and at this moment they were completely in a protective posture, standing behind Ye Li and not taking seats on both sides.

"Mayor Wang's house looks very good, and the decoration is very elegant!

These Dongyin solid wood should be very valuable, it seems that Mayor Wang is also a luxury person, and he is very !!"

Ye Li said with a smile as he knocked on the table in front of him with his hand, this smoky solid wood table looked very thick and solid.

Seeing that Ye Li recognized the Dongyin solid wood used for his decoration, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Lord Lord is from Tang Jingcheng, and his knowledge is really extraordinary."

The villain also spent a lot of effort to get these things, but they can't compare to the big people in Tang Jingcheng. ”

Ye Li just said a few words casually, and he didn't plan to discuss solid wood materials with Wang Yue, so he changed his words and said, "By the way, the three mayors should know my intentions today, right?"

Hearing Ye Li's words, the smiles on the faces of the three of them suddenly disappeared, and Wang Yue said, "We know that your intention is nothing more than for tax money!"

Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right, I came here to talk about taxes."

In the past, the imperial court did not collect your taxes in order to help the development of Dongfang County, but now that a long time has passed, and the tax exemption period has arrived, you should also pay taxes.

All three of you have to pay taxes, which is your duty as mayor. ”

Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Yue's eyes rolled, a tragic look appeared on his face, and he said, "My lord, although the imperial court has exempted us from taxes for many years, we have not developed much, and we are still very poor.

If the imperial court wants us to pay taxes again, the people here will not be able to get by.

You also know that if the people can't survive, then they can only move away, and your forced taxation will only make Dongfang County a desolate and dead county. ”

Ding Si sneered when he heard this, and said: "No money, how can you have no money, your Dongyin solid wood here is worth a lot of money, if you don't have money, how can you get these decorations." ”

Hearing Ding Si's words, Wang Yue's expression was a little gloomy, and he said, "I bought these things myself, using my family's money, and they have nothing to do with taxes."

I'm just telling you, our annual money here is only enough for the people to live, not enough to pay taxes, and if you want the people to pay taxes, they will definitely give up and flee here.

When the time comes, you will become the lord of the light pole, but don't blame the people for being ruthless. ”

Ye Li glanced at Wang Yue and said, "So, you don't plan to pay taxes?"

Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Yue glanced at the other two mayors and said, "Actually, it's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that we really don't have any money."

Of course, it's not that we people in the town can't make money if we don't work.

It's just that our Dongfang County is full of bandits, and their existence makes his people miserable.

In the past, we would also collect taxes to build the town, but then the money was targeted by the yellow-clothed bandits, who dared not give them enough annual fees every year, and they made the whole Dongfang County restless.

Your Excellency, you also know that our little strength is not enough to see at all, and in front of the bandits in yellow clothes, we can only choose to give in.

We can't give you the money from the taxes, because if you are given the money to buy peace, the people will not be able to live.

If you want to impose taxes, the common people will resist, and if you bring troops to suppress them, all the people here will leave. ”

Ye Li, who said Wang Yue's words, was suddenly shocked.

Although he knew that Wang Yue was looking for a reason, he couldn't refute such a situation.

In a county, bandits are rampant, and the living space of the people will indeed be compressed to the extreme.

Ye Li himself also has the intention of suppressing bandits, even if he has not yet established his own private army.

"Mayor Wang means that the reason why you can't pay your taxes now is because of the yellow-clothed bandits.

So if we can get rid of these bandits, will you be willing to pay taxes?"

Ye asked from the exit.

After all, his plan was to salute first and then soldier, and he was not willing to use force to solve it until it was absolutely necessary.

After all, the use of force can also have many negative consequences.

What's more, the reason that the other party is looking for now is because of the bandits, resulting in no money to pay taxes.

As the master of Dongfang County, it was his responsibility to eliminate the bandits here and ensure the safety of the people's livelihood.

Ye Li himself also believes that before solving the security problem and fulfilling his responsibilities, he really has no qualifications to ask the people under his rule to pay taxes.

After all, as a lord, he has the obligation to protect the people under his rule.

Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Yue's eyes flashed, and he said, "That's right, the yellow-clothed bandits are the biggest gangs we have here, if you have the ability, Lord Lord, you should eradicate them."

Only by eradicating them will we people have the money to pay taxes, otherwise we will not be able to survive even if we can't even get by, and how will we pay taxes!?"

Qian San glanced at Wang Yue and said, "Our young master has just arrived in Dongfang County, and he doesn't even have a private army and guards, so what do you let him do to suppress the bandits."

It is your duty to pay taxes as a lord, and I don't look like you are too poor to pay here. ”

Wang Yue was not angry when he heard this, smiled, and said, "Of course I can pay taxes, but I can pay as much taxes as I can alone."

My money is also earned through the family's business, but it does not come from the sky, so it is impossible to pay taxes for the poor people.

If you just want to scrape some from me, then it's a bit impractical.

As for the problem of suppressing bandits, I think the two masters at least have the realm above the void god stage, and there should be no problem in dealing with the yellow-clothed bandits.

There are three masters in total, only the big boss and the second boss have the strength of the void god period, and the third master only has the cultivation of the séance period, and the other bandits are relatively weaker.

If the two adults can plan carefully, they can sneak attack their second boss or big boss, and solve the yellow-clothed bandits. ”
