Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 189

"Personal tax?" Yue Jinghua first looked at it, and then looked at the red medicine with the eyes of inquiry.

The red medicine is much clearer than her about the taxation of the empire, but this time even the red medicine showed a doubtful look.

Hongyao is proficient in all kinds of economic affairs, and she is also familiar with the tax requirements issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Although the Dragon War Empire and the Shang State are different countries, the tax systems of the two countries are developed. There is a land tax on house sales, a turnover tax on the sale of goods, and a loss of weddings. Excluding the tax regulations issued by the state, in some places, especially in the towns where tired trade unions are located, passersby will be charged a certain percentage of fees, but no matter where they are, red medicine has never heard of a head tax. This statement.

"Let me do it," Tengwu weighed a little, and gave up the idea of ​​staying out of the way.

In addition to admiring the ruthless style of doing things that he had only put down the cruel words for, Yue Yuehua also understood that Yue Yuehua, who has a lot of people like Shahman and Red Medicine, will definitely be in Long in the near future. The war empire caused a big sensation.

The fallen Duchess of Blood Cherry Blossoms is likely to glow differently because of the heroic girl in front of her.

Ms. Yunluo followed this group and could learn a lot, maybe she could also quit her arrogant habits. After examining this level, Teng Wu cleverly did not mention the matter of leaving Fengdan County, Yue Yuehua also pretended that the previous events never happened.

This is the benefit of working with smart people, just knowing, not talking.

"The head tax is a special tax imposed on the people of Fontaine. It is not an empire tax, but a compulsory levy in Fontaine by Lord Viscount Moore, the lord of Bailu County, adjacent to Fontaine. I had been here with the caravan, and when I was resting in the village, I heard the old man in the village mention it, "Teng Wu saw this unequal tax burden when he was in business.

"Why does a viscount levy a tax on Fontaine County? Doesn't the imperial tax officer impose interference?" Yue Jinghua heard this, and was furious. What was it like? A viscount who was inferior and dared to levy taxes on his own . It is said that the Dragon War Empire ruled the country rigorously, and the military discipline and law discipline were extremely large, and now it seems that it is too easy.

"Viscount Moore ’s husband is an official of the Hube. In addition, Fontaine County is located south of the Mysterious Mountain Range, which is almost far from the main territory of the Dragon War Empire. The neighboring Shang Kingdom is a small country with a dark status quo, and the Imperial Army will not be there. Shang Guo fortified. After the lazy empire tax officials received the taxes paid by Feng Yi each year, no one would find the hardships to go over the mountains and forests, and come here to see the specific situation of taxation. "Teng Wubian said, Bian took out a detailed topographic map.

I saw that the map marked with the word Yunhu used gold paint, cinnabar, and charcoal to outline the surrounding topography.

In Tengwu's illustrations and narratives, Yue Jinghua and others quickly understood the special situation in Fontaine County.

Three years ago, the Duke of the Blood Cherry Blossoms did not fall behind, and the county guards stationed in the area of ​​Fontaine County also spontaneously disbanded due to arrears of food.

Surrounded by the mountains of Fontaine County, it is difficult to build the county wall like other counties. The beast-proof wall built in the early years was also crushed by a few snowfalls, which broke a big gap.

There are fewer stones on the mountain, and the Lord ’s Mansion has no funds to rebuild the city wall. For a long time, the wall used to resist the mysterious animal in the mountain has been almost destroyed.

Without the county guard, Fontan County was often harassed by low- and middle-ranked mysterious animals around the mysterious mountain ridge. For the safety of the people, the then Lord ’s Mansion sent people to Bailu County, only separated by a lake, for help.

Viscount Moore of Bailu County had been a friend of wine and flesh with the Duke of Blood Cherry in Ottawa in the early years. After receiving the danger report, he was kind at first, and immediately sent troops to encircle the mysterious beast.

After waiting to drive the mysterious beast out of Fontaine County, Viscount Moore's army made a request to pay the head tax.

"The so-called head tax is a ten-to-one tax rate. In the lord's army of Viscount Moore, there are many ferocious beasts. These mysterious beasts like living human flesh, but they are unwilling to use their own people. When I came to make animal food, I hit my mind on the unreliable Fontaine County. "Teng Wu also witnessed this inhuman head tax in a business.

To expel a mysterious beast and use ten living people to convert it. Just last year, Fontaine County surrendered nearly a thousand people. This is a head tax.

This winter was severely cold, and the blizzard weather continued to be longer than usual. The people ’s crops were generally poorly harvested. The mysterious beasts in the mountains were besieged by heavy snow and had no food. They repeatedly committed crimes. The people died of no fewer than 100 people at the beast's mouth. In addition to the head tax, Fengdan County It's already a crossbow.

The people who were mortgaged out for the head tax were sent to be stronger as slaves, and the old, the weak and the sick were thrown away to feed the mysterious beasts.

The lord's house in Fontaine County refused to give in. The army of Bailu County dispatched mysterious animals into the mountain every time. When they encountered a famine and ran out for food, they swallowed it alive.

"It's too cruel. I should treat them by some means. Some people just let them go." Yun Luo stared at Yuehua with dissatisfaction, as if Bailu County's evil behavior was caused by Yuehua. of.

"Miss, I'll kill them," Hong Ling was flushed with anger, and struggling with her bow and arrow, she wanted to chase the fleeing minions of Bailu County.

"Kill ?! Kill what?" Unlike the indignation filled by everyone, Yue Jinghua calmed a lot after listening to the narrative.

"Miss, of course, the people of Bailu County, the group is acting in a wrong way, relying on the Duke's Mansion to oppress the people at will, if they are not allowed to see the blood, they will not have a lesson," Hongling and everyone It was unanimous to respond in unison, and even Lie Rou did not stop.

Most of the good children who were present at the battle, their blood was not frozen because of the severe cold weather. On the contrary, everyone was anxious to remove Viscount Moore and his minions at this time.

"How many people do you have? How many Bailu County Guards are there? You are stepping on the territory of the Dragon War Empire, and all the land is the land of the King. Dragon state warfare, 'The majesty of the nobles is sacred and impenetrable. Killing a hundred people. Those who offend other people for no reason, even the nine clan 'You haven't killed Viscount Moore, and Fontaine County was first flattened by the imperial army, "Yue Jinghua reprimanded, her voice sounded like a few thunders and blew up everyone No word can be sprayed out.

"Don't forget it like this?" Yun Luo muttered beside him, said, leaving the poor people of Fontaine County to be slaughtered again and again.

"Forget it? Huh, blood debts and blood compensation, what is the head tax? I will lose ten, and a few county residents have died in Fontaine County. I will have Bailu County return ten times the price. What about national training? There is a national admonition on the top, and an imperial imperial admonition on the bottom, 'When a dragon fights against a lord, when it comes to invasion by foreign enemies, protecting the security of the military and civilians is the top priority. Regardless of the title, military rank, and status, whoever commits my territory, kill it!' Yue Jinghua said, her fists clenched, and she made a clucking sound.

"Put a long line and catch a big fish, I just want to wait for the group of people to give me a great gift," At this time, all the people standing next to Yue Jinghua felt heartfelt bursting out of the bones. chill.

Only leaning next to Yue Jinghua's Erwang, holding his head up, looking at Yue Jinghua with reverence, for the first time in his life, there was a touch in his thin body, which was the return of the separated child. In the arms of her mother, the drifting ship moved into the haven.
