Chapter 303: The Merchants' Protest

In the face of Ye Zhiying's persuasion, Qin Wu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find anything to refute, he was very relieved and happy when he got along with Orange, and he also thought about it if he could go on like this, but Qin Wu never thought about how to do it to keep going like this, and how to keep this relationship carefree.

Oh, yes...... Gentle Township, Hero's Grave.

Qin Wu imagined the possibility of letting a girl like Orange experience the battle with him, but unfortunately, no matter how Qin Wu's wishful thinking was, Qin Wu also felt that this kind of thing was almost impossible to achieve, but it was more likely that he would compromise on other things in order to be with Orange, if it wasn't for Ye Zhiying mentioning it, Qin Wu hadn't noticed it, and he already had some faint thoughts in his heart about going on like this......

However, Qin Wu still has nothing to do, there is no real peace in this world, there are still many people in this world, who continue to suffer from the suffering caused by those bastards in the Han Kingdom, if he sinks here, how can he be worthy of Xiang Hui's dying entrustment, how can he be worthy of his blood hatred.

But for Qin Wu, oranges are just as important......

Qin Wu shook his head and said, "But I have already made a promise to the orange girl, I can't just let her go like this, and I can't let go of her......"

Ye Zhiying sighed: "But now is not the time, is it?, if you just taste it, it will be okay to develop slowly in the future, but I found that Brother Qin Wu, you seem to have fallen into it and can't extricate yourself, to put it selfishly, the reason why I followed Brother Qin Wu is not to eat and drink for nothing to see you fall in love, and the four internal force level masters I recruited are also not, so I will remind you, I believe in Brother Qin Wu, you will not give up your ambitions because of this child-daughter relationship, right?"

Qin Wu asked, "Then do I have to give up on her?"

Ye Zhiying said: "Of course not, you can also wait until everything is over to look for her, so that you can also know whether there is love between the two of you, if she is still waiting for you at that time, and you are still thinking about her......"

The two were silent for a moment.

"Brother Zhiying, let me think about it......" Qin Wu whispered, and then walked away alone.

"Alas......" Looking at Qin Wu's distant back, Ye Zhiying sighed, his eyes were complicated, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he also left the city gate, and muttered in his mouth, "Brother Qin Wu, don't blame me......"

After that, Qin Wu returned to the Qunying Mansion alone, nesting in the room and being dull alone, while Ye Zhiying went to the City Lord's Mansion, he still had a lot of things to do.

When Ye Zhiying returned to the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Zhu Jun had been waiting for Ye Zhiying early, looking at his anxious look, it seemed that there was something to find Ye Zhiying in a hurry.

Ye Zhiying: "City Lord Zhu Jun, is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Ye, you're finally here, I'm looking for you urgently. Zhu Jun hurriedly leaned over and said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ye Zhiying asked lightly, in his opinion, it is impossible for anything big to happen in the post city now.

Zhu Jun showed some embarrassment on his face, and then said to Ye Zhiying in a low voice: "That's the case, since yesterday, I have received many businessmen's protests against the collection of taxes at the city gate, and those small merchants are okay, but many big chambers of commerce have also expressed strong protests against us, so we have to rush to you to solve it, after all, if you offend them, the finances of Yicheng will definitely decline a lot in the future." โ€

"City entry tax?" Hearing this, Ye Zhiying couldn't help but smile, "What's there to protest about? The financial downturn? Can these businessmen still find a second post city to do business?"

Listening to Ye Zhiying's flat tone, Zhu Jun also smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to say it better, although Zhu Jun said that it was a protest, in fact, it was also because he couldn't bear the favor of those big chambers of commerce, so he came to ask Ye Zhiying for instructions, after all, since the reshuffle of the Yicheng forces, the soldiers below have also felt a lot of nervousness, especially the city entry tax, for fear of being the new ruler because of corruption, and it is also Qin Wu and Ye Zhiying who used it to kill chickens and monkeys, so the merchants who only needed to give a little benefit to fool the number of goods in the past have to give their goods an unknown amount of entry tax that is higher than beforeใ€‚

Zhu Jun smiled embarrassedly: "Of course not, I'm just here to ask for them, can the post city continue to operate as before......"

Zhu Jun was also embarrassed to directly say that the city entry tax was no longer so strict, so he could only mention it from the side.

"It's the same as before?" Ye Zhiying said lightly, "It seems that they are used to tax evasion, and the current entry tax is just implemented in accordance with the terms that existed before, and they have not been exploited even more."

In the past, I couldn't control what happened to the post city, and I wouldn't hold you accountable for conniving at these merchants before, but now, you must strictly follow the requirements, and when these merchants get used to the real entry tax, there will naturally be no protests. โ€

"But ......," Zhu Jun said anxiously, "but they may not bring goods into the city for a long time after that, after all, in addition to selling goods in the post city, they will also sell through various countries, in the past, for safety, the caravan would bring all the goods into the post city, but now in order to avoid collecting taxes, they probably won't bring them all in, if they don't bring them in, we have no money to collect, so, Mr. Ye think twice, it's better to collect less than not to receive anything, right?"

Ye Zhiying said with a smile: "City Lord Zhu Jun, is it possible that the prosperity of this post city is only supported by the entry tax of these merchants?

"Okay......" Zhu Jun could only respond like this, listening to Ye Zhiying's tone, there should be no room for negotiation, in fact, he didn't care much about those taxes, but those big businessmen with heads and faces, they all had some friendships with him, in addition to these businessmen, even the city guards had people coming to Zhu Jun, after all, guarding the city gate had always been a fat poor before, and now it was so strictly enforced, which also touched their interests.

Forget about the merchants, the defending army is Yicheng's own army, if there are not enough interests for them to do things for Yicheng with peace of mind, it is likely to cause a lot of turmoil, so Zhu Jun is in a hurry to help them speak, but now it seems that Ye Zhiying and they don't take these things to heart at all, but Zhu Jun thinks about it, the officers of the defending army are just officers, even if they can mobilize some subordinates to make trouble together, in front of strong people like Qin Wu and Yi Jiuzhong, can these be considered things?
