This Plug-in is Too Middle School

The so-called arbitrary tax does not mean "any kind of tax", but a tax that the lord can arbitrarily apportion when he starts a "public activity" such as a war.

As the name suggests, the amount and proportion of any tax is really up to your heart's content. This kind of unplanned tax is also the most feared thing for all businessmen. Sometimes there is only one unfortunate arbitrary tax between the huge profit and the bankruptcy.

Hearing that this unfortunate tax was canceled, the surrounding businessmen burst into laughter, and Jose even bowed again and again with a flushed face.

"Lord William, if you can really guarantee the cancellation of arbitrary taxes, then we... we..."

You blush a bubble teapot!

William glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "I haven't answered your second question, and it is not without cost to cancel so many taxes. After all, I also need money to maintain my territory, so a new tax will be added. ."

The expressions of the surrounding businessmen changed when they heard the words, but after thinking about it, most of them thought it was acceptable.

After all, the most feared thing in business is not that the single profit is not high enough, but unexpected situations such as various arbitrary taxes. Taxes are heavier, but at most you will earn less, but once those unexpected situations happen, the injuries are still minor, and it is possible to be deceived and bankrupt.

William said calmly: "The tax I want to collect is called business tax. Take Doza Fort as an example. In the future, a market will be opened in the city for transactions. Transactions that reach a certain level must be conducted in the market and a part of the profits will be taken. As a tax, in terms of proportions..."

The merchants held their breaths and stared at William.

They have a rough estimate of the possible tax proportions. The total amount of tax that has been cut off is estimated to be 30% to 40% or higher, and it will continue to increase with the number of passing territories. In some very special cases Even as high as 70%.

Therefore, if those unstable factors can be avoided, even if Sir William is going to pay a heavy tax of 40%, he will still earn more than before, and the most important thing is that the risk of doing business in Doza Fort will be suddenly reduced.

"Between five and fifteen percent."

William pretended to think for a moment, then said: "The types of commodities, the speed of money and goods turnover, the overall transaction scale are different, and the tax ratio is also different.

I will send people to discuss the specific ratio with the people from the Jinsara Chamber of Commerce. You can also elect several representatives to sit in, but the maximum tax ratio should not exceed 15%. "

As soon as William's words came out, it was as if a mine had been detonated in a fish pond, and everyone who understood what it meant couldn't sit still.

Actually only fifteen percent! Many territorial main cities have more than this amount of city entry tax, not to mention this is the upper limit, and it is even possible to get the ultra-low ratio of 5%!

Looking at the businessmen who were beaten with blood, William smiled and said nothing.

This tax rate is indeed a bit low. After all, this money is not for nothing, and I have to maintain the daily expenses of the territory, but compared with the future benefits, what is a little tax money?

The first and most direct benefit is the support of the Church of Fortune. Leonard sold the three marquis, and he has only recovered one. The money that the Griddy family bought for the marquis was advanced by the Church of Fortune.

In order to be able to enjoy low tax rates in more places, the Fortune Church, which represents the interests of these businessmen, is likely to stand on its side, and may even take the initiative to help itself obtain territory.

In addition to these, there are some longer-term benefits.

After the "church" of the Church of Fortune is built, the merchants from all over Flange will come here like crazy. Not to mention the advantages brought by the gathering of merchants, even if they can't eat so many goods, they can catch fat. How can my hands get a little oily water.

In essence, this low tax rate is sucking the blood of all other territories in the entire Flange. If you switch to another empire, you will definitely be attacked by other nobles. However, the nobles in Flange are different. There are three major churches that are always on the head. , the sense of competition is almost zero.

Moreover, according to the temperament of those demon blood descendants, it is estimated that they did not pay attention to the businessmen at all. I am afraid that they will not realize what this tax rate means in a short time, and maybe they will secretly laugh at their own brain problems. .

Rather than worrying about these old nobles jumping out to find trouble, it is better to spend more time studying the three major churches. As long as the problem of the Gate of Death is not resolved, sooner or later there will be a tit-for-tat day.

William rubbed the ring on his hand, glanced at Karina in the distance, and began to think about how the three major churches should solve it.

Each of these three churches has a professional who is above the fourth rank, and the person in charge of the Eros Church is a woman in the dancer sequence. Except for the [Man Dancer Legion], which is rather annoying, the overall is not too difficult to deal with.

The person in charge of the Church of Fortune should be the old Cameron over the ring. The specific level is not clear, but maybe it is a seventh-order powerhouse of the fate sequence, and he also has the arcane sequence.

Although it seems that he can't deal with it on the bright side, he seems to have something wrong. In addition, if he is the one who he guessed, he might be able to find a way to win over him. After all, he is also a "prophet" now, so he can be fooled.

The Church of Knowledge is the most difficult thing to do. Although the person in charge on the bright side is Karina of the fourth-order arcane sequence, there is a ninth-order pope squatting behind it.

Although under normal circumstances, I will definitely not shoot, but if I want to stop the Saints' plan, it is almost certain that I will be shot to death, so I must quickly find an opportunity to explore the bottom before I "jump back". ...

Just as William was thinking about how to step on the plate through the little rich woman, the old lady stretched out her injured toe and looked at it, then smiled and said to the little rich woman next to her:

"Karina, I didn't expect my feet to be so precious. Your Excellency William is really generous. By the way, weren't you talking about cooperation before? What did the dead old man say?"

After hearing the old lady's question, the little rich woman's face suddenly turned red.

What did the teacher say... The teacher said that he doesn't really want to live anymore, but as long as I can keep my mouth shut and don't spread the matter out, he can make do with it for a few more years.

Recalling the almost inexorable tone of old Cameron, and that thorn... In short, she held back her laughter.

After covering up her gaffe with a light cough, Karina replied with her eyes wandering: "The cooperation thing... It should be completed, the specific details will be discussed later, the teacher is very optimistic about William, and he also asked me to decide my fate. Sequence taught him."

"Fate sequence?"

The old lady frowned, looked at William who was cold (faced) and pale (paralyzed) in the crowd, and nodded thoughtfully.

"It turns out that it is very similar."

She smiled and said: "When your teacher was his age, the expression on his face was almost the same as his, everything was hidden in his stomach, and he would never say a word of his heart to others, and everyone looked indifferent. expression."

After looking at William carefully, she shook her head again, denying her opinion.

"It's not quite the same. He's much more handsome than your teacher when he was younger, and he's a bit stronger... eh?"

The old lady's eyes were locked on the ring of William's index finger, and then she turned her head and looked at Karina in surprise.

"Isn't that the signet ring of the Chamber of Commerce! Why did you even give him this?"

Karina shuddered when she heard the word ring, and her face turned even redder.

She glanced at William in the distance, turned her head and pretended to be calm and said: "Because there is some... transaction between the teacher and William, I need him to help... send something, so I temporarily give him the seal right ring. Well, that's it."

The old lady stared at the little rich woman suspiciously, then suddenly reached out to hold her, whispered in her ear, "Karina, tell me the truth, what happened just now?"

Karina turned her head blushing, not daring to look into Aunt Lolita's eyes.

"It's nothing...what I said is true."

The old lady shook her head solemnly, and held on to the little rich woman's sleeve.

"You can be considered as I grew up watching, what can't you tell me? Could it be that he... took advantage of you?"

The little rich woman stomped her feet, and said shyly and angrily, "Aunt Lolita, where did you think you went, nothing really happened just now."

The old lady shook her head and said categorically, "Impossible, although you are very tender-skinned, you definitely won't be blushing after just a few words from me. There must have been something I didn't know about just now!"

Seeing that Karina refused to tell her life or death, the old lady was also a little angry. She shook off the hand of the little rich woman and said, "Since you don't say anything, I'll go ask him directly!"

Don't ask! You asked if he is still alive!

The little rich woman was shocked and stopped again and again, but Aunt Lolita, who couldn't overcome her temper, finally gave in.

She bit her lip~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and sincerely apologized to her teacher.

Teacher, you...you and Aunt Lolita grew up playing together. When they were young, they went into the river with their bare bottoms and fished together. I only told her that it should...should be fine, right?

Karina blushed and leaned into the old lady's ear, briefly telling her speculation.

"Aunt Lolita, teacher... blasphemy... God's punishment... holy relic... um... thorny..."

As the topic gradually "deepened", the old lady's face was first shocked, then worried, then became a little weird, and finally blushed again after many years.

The old lady coughed lightly, concealed her embarrassment in front of the younger generation, and then patted Karina kindly on the back.

"I know, this matter... you shouldn't tell anyone else."

The little rich woman glanced at her resentfully. If you said you would question her face to face, would I tell you about it?

Karina nodded aggrievedly. "Then Aunt Lolita, I'll go and help the teacher get... get the holy relic. Find a place to sit for a while."

"Cough, go go, don't worry about me."

However, Karina was just a few steps out when she was stopped by an old man in his sixties.

The old man looked at the blushing cheeks of the little rich woman, and said sullenly, "Karina, what happened before? Did that kid take advantage of you?"

"Forehead……"

Karina turned her head in embarrassment and started looking for Aunt Lolita's location, hoping she could explain it to herself.

However, when she found the figure of Aunt Lolita, she saw that Aunt Lolita was chatting with another old friend of the teacher, and even took off the ring on her hand and made some rather suspicious gestures.

"..."

Teacher...you must be strong!
