"Hey, it seems that we still need to put the construction of the castle on the agenda as soon as possible and treat it as the second priority as soon as possible... Otherwise, I really can't stay in this environment any longer!"

Raymond sighed and murmured

, but he also knew that there was no need to rush anything, especially this matter. I'm afraid we can only wait until their Gray Stone Village has overcome the current series of difficulties!

"Dear Lord Baron, your humble servant Irmara asks to see you!"At this moment, a middle-aged man with gray short hair and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came to ask to see Raymond...

As for who he is?

Irmala, the tax collector appointed by his father during his lifetime, is in charge of the taxation of the entire Greystone Village. As well as various construction purchases and expenditures! Food and grain purchase, expenditures, etc.!

Basically, everything that can be related to money is within his scope of authority, so, if we want to use the terms on earth, it is their Gray Stone Village. The housekeeper!

The one who takes charge of all housekeeping affairs!

"Irmala, why did you come to see me?"

Dear Lord Baron, it is like this. The quarterly tax has arrived, so I want to clarify and follow your will. Will the tax for this quarter remain the same as usual? Or……"

"Lord Baron, do you need to mention it further?"

Irmala said cautiously.

As the tax collector of Greystone Village, he naturally knows how much difficulty their village is facing now.

The failure of the hunting group means a reduction in income, and even a shortage of food and heating resources!

At the same time, the former lord sought death and the members of the hunting group suffered heavy losses, which also meant that the overall strength of their Gray Stone Village would further decline significantly!

So in this case, exploiting civilians became Routine operation!

By increasing taxes, this part of the losses can be passed on to those poor people as much as possible! This will make up for the losses of their Gray Stone Village, and at the same time, after receiving more taxes, it can also greatly alleviate their poverty. The financial pressure on Ishimura!

This is killing two birds with one stone!

As for the poor people?

You definitely don’t need to care about them... As members of the territory, as people in the Baron’s territory, this is what they should pay, and it is natural!

However, in After hearing this,

Raymond looked a little strange.

"Increase taxes?"

The biggest victims of these losses and disasters are actually not the Blaine family, but the people at the bottom.

What's more, in his impression, taxes in this world are a very scary thing!

Basically, it can be said in two words, high. Tax!

And it’s so high that it’s almost crushing people to death!

Just like this, they actually want to increase taxes? Seriously?!

Although he is not a saint, he is not so vicious as to suck people’s blood... What’s more, he now has The system is close to him, and the day of its rise is just around the corner. He really doesn’t need to worry about such a small profit! It will completely affect his mood!

Thinking of this, he directly asked

"Irmala, what are the taxes in our Greystone village?"

Irmala was stunned for a moment, but she said immediately!

"Dear Lord Baron, if it is just a simple survival tax, then a family will pay about 50 copper coins per quarter. In addition, there are food taxes, city entry taxes, exit taxes, production taxes, business taxes, etc., which are about 40 yuan. Items, these are also very good income! On average, it can provide us with two to thirty thousand copper coins in a quarter!"

"More than forty items?!"

Leymon couldn't help but became speechless. Is this really a tax?

This is not a money grab... This is too dark. No wonder those people all look so numb and gray. If it were him, he wouldn't Same thing, they are all animals!

Then he shook his head and said!

"Irmala, please change the taxes.……"

Irmara nodded immediately. In his opinion, the new Baron should increase taxes, but this is a matter of course!

How can they make money without raising taxes

?

Just kidding, the wallets of these nobles may not be able to shrink!

However, what Raymond said next... surprised him! incredible

"First of all, cancel all those other messy taxes for me!"

"Then! Tax free this winter!"

Irmala was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes straightened, staring at Raymond in disbelief!"Baron, Lord Baron, what did you just say?! duty free?!"

"Is there a problem?"

Raymon looked at him expressionlessly.

He could tell that the Yilmala in front of him should be regarded as a standard aristocratic loser. If such a person is obedient, he can still be used... If If you are disobedient, you will have to change someone!

As if aware of Raymond's attitude,

Irmala paused, then immediately lowered his head and said in a cold sweat!"No, no! Dear Lord Baron, of course I have no objection!"

"Your will is everything to me!"

Raymond glanced at him, and then spoke again. Said!

"Second, after the next year, our Greystone Village’s taxes will be collected on a monthly basis, or it can also be calculated on an annual basis! For the time being, let’s charge it as 100 copper coins per year for a family, no matter how many people there are in the family, one or two people, or even five or ten people! It’s all this number! But only for poor people and poor people! Rich businessmen in the family, small noble knights, etc.……"

"Let’s start with ten silver coins a year!"

"In addition, tell them that marriage and childbirth are encouraged. Whether it is marriage or childbirth, half of the tax is exempted for that year! More lives, more losses! Can be infinitely stacked!"

To be honest, he really doesn't know much about taxation, so he can only take it for granted and come up with a trial version first.

The core of his taxation method is actually very simple, that is, to exploit the middle class. Rich people! Let the poor go, and at the same time encourage and reward marriage and childbirth, thereby increasing the population!

Make it bigger and stronger!

After all, for him, he really doesn’t need to rely on the pitiful income from his territory. To improve his strength! The source of his confidence is very simple, that is his Temple Castle system!

That is his Temple Castle army...

So in this way, he can do whatever he wants with complete freedom!

"Gulu~"

But after hearing this, Ilmara couldn't help but swallowed, and her face changed drastically.

Her expression even looked like she was about to cry.

"Lord Baron, do you really want to do this?"

"If this is really the case, the few noble knights and merchants in our Gray Stone Village may rebel collectively or even leave our Gray Stone Village!"

In his opinion,

Raymond's taxation method is simply anti-human and violates his world view of life. It exploits small noble knights and businessmen and spares the lowly poor people at the bottom?

How is this possible? Isn't this funny?
