Chapter 358 Tax Payment

A temporary banquet has been set up in the village square of Xikel Village. Pavlov, the tax collector, is sitting in it and drinking. was poisoned.

"My lord, what's the matter with you, your complexion is not very good, is the food not to your liking?" Selwyn asked kindly when he saw Pavlov with a heavy face.

"You... where is your village chief?" Selwyn introduced himself as the village chief's son when he first entered the village. Where did the village chief go? Could it be that he is organizing villagers to surround him?

"My father has already set off for Sovata City yesterday. He must personally thank the Duke for his kindness, so I will be in charge of the affairs here for the time being. Please rest assured, my lord, the taxation will never be delayed." Here said Selwyn at once.

I'm sorry, you're lying to a ghost, and you still want to thank the Duke? Definitely take the villagers somewhere to hide and wait for us to get drunk and arrest us all. Pavlov here immediately thought that this is mainly because Selwyn's lie is too clumsy. You charge 70% of the tax and you still thank the lord. Are you sick?

"Hurry... Hurry up and pay the taxes, I... I'm going to the next place." Pavlov here was already very panicked, everything was so unnatural, that's why he panicked to death.

"Okay, my lord, let's start now." Selwyn here naturally nodded when he heard that Pavlov had started to collect taxes, so he took out a notebook, and then pointed to the following The person shouted: "It's time to pay taxes. The first one is Dewen. The family has a total of 4 acres of land. This year, a total of 1140 catties has been harvested. 798 catties should be paid. Dewen, where is Dewen?"

"Village chief, Dewen has gone home to fetch food." A villager below shouted to the top.

Sure enough, Pavlov here thinks about it too, so maybe someone will really pay. Will this German really bring food over?

"Oh, I'm sorry, my lord, the number is a little bit too much. It is estimated that Devin has had a hard time moving, please wait a moment." Selwyn said immediately.

Wait? You think I'm stupid. If you wait any longer, maybe you will wait until a mob with sickles and dung forks rushes over to chop you. Pavlov here looked at the city guard captain beside him, and immediately said: "Since you are not ready, then Forget it, I will give you another day, I will go back today..." Anyway, he had already walked around.

Even if the tax cannot be collected in this situation, the city lord should not blame himself.

"My lord, you can't go back, please wait a moment, we can't delay the time for the lord to collect taxes." Selwyn said immediately.

I wiped it, but still didn't let it go back, there must be a conspiracy. Pavlov here heard what Selwyn said, and wanted to go back even more, and immediately said: "That's it, let's forget about today, I will..."

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Before he could finish speaking, Pavlov heard a shout not far away, and turned his head to see a farmer pulling a cart full of grain towards him. Walking over here, there are a few behind him who are probably his family members who are helping to push the cart.

"Devin! What's going on. I didn't inform you yesterday. You are the first to pay taxes today. Why is it so late? No one is happy about the finale!" Selwyn shouted immediately.

"I'm sorry, the village head. And the tax collector. I didn't expect that there were too many to move. I borrowed a car, so I was delayed. I'm really sorry!" German said immediately.

"My lord, I'm sorry, the villagers don't understand the rules, please forgive me." Selwyn said immediately, naturally pleading for the people in his village.

How can Pavlov have time to care about this at this time? Pavlov didn’t know how to react when he saw a cart full of grain. You really are pulling grain to pay taxes. You have no brains. sick.

"My lord, please check and accept it?" Seeing Pavlov who was in a daze for some reason, Selwyn reminded in a low voice.

"Oh... oh..., come here, weigh the weight." Pavlov is no longer sure what's going on, but fortunately, although he never thought about receiving the tax, the things are still well prepared. There are scales and the like, and immediately command the people next to them to lift them up.

The number is a bit too much, just for the German family, Pavlov here checked and accepted it for a long time, and finally Pavlov here couldn't believe it, because the other party really pulled a lot. Nearly 800 catties of grain came.

"Inspect... the acceptance is complete..." Pavlov said in disbelief.

"Devin, well done!" Selwyn said immediately, "This time I won't cause trouble to the lord."

The villagers in the village all looked at Dewen with encouraging eyes, and looked at him with embarrassment. The big man touched his head honestly: "That's natural, how can we trouble such a great lord, okay, Whose food has not been moved, everyone should help move it."

"Yes, hurry up, the tax collector is waiting." Selwyn shouted while talking, "Next one, Koma, the family has a total of 6 acres of land, and a total of 1,550 catties have been harvested this year. Pay 1085 catties, Koma."

"It's already here." Koma said immediately. He got up early in the morning and moved all the grain in the warehouse to the car, just waiting to pay the tax.

"Pass... weighed..." Pavlov was so frightened by these guys that he couldn't understand it. You said that you are out of your mind to pay the 70% tax. What's going on, looking at the smiling villagers carrying food for him, Pavlov suddenly wondered if he was dreaming.

"The acceptance is complete... 1,085 catties are actually collected..." After a while, Pavlov here drew a line on Koma's name, proving that he has paid off this year's taxes, and 1,085 catties is not a catty. few.

"Next, Sadie, at home..." Selwyn on this side started calling the next one again.

In this way, the tax collection went very smoothly. Pavlov on the smooth side couldn't believe it was true. The excited villagers sent bundles of grain to him like crazy. After a while, a hill-like grain pile was pushed up next to the village square.

"My lord...the cars we brought are not enough." At this time, the captain of the city guard whispered in Pavlov's ear.

Before they came out, no one thought that they could really receive the tax, so when Pavlov went out here, he pulled 3 cars symbolically. I can't ship it back.

"You...you go back to Satu Mare, find a car, and report the situation here and the city lord..." Pavlov thought for a while and said. The village of Sikor is not far from Satu Mare, and you will be back soon after going back.

"Okay, my lord." The captain of the city guard nodded and went back immediately.

Pavlov here continues to collect taxes, and the progress is really smooth. The villagers here are crazy, only those who pay more, and no one who pays less. Husband move here.

Looking at the bundles of grain, Pavlov here also temporarily forgot about the rebellion, and began to check and accept it seriously. In one morning, Pavlov here has received 20,000 catties of grain.

This is, the captain of the city guard sent here to find the car has also returned, and walked to Pavlov's side with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"My lord, only 4 vehicles were found." City Guard Captain Hui reported.

"What? Four cars are not enough, can't you see?" Pavlov said immediately.

"No, my lord, the city has gone crazy. The tax collectors from all over the country have all received the tax for some reason. Everyone sent people back to find the car. Now all the cars that can be used in the whole city have been pulled out to load food. , These few cars were borrowed from the city lord’s house, there are really no cars.” said the captain of the city guard.

"Damn, what are you kidding, all the surrounding villages have paid taxes?" Pavlov said in disbelief. It means that the whole village of Xikel Village is just insane. Now all the surrounding villages have started to pay taxes. Isn’t this a joke? 70% 70%, this is not a 7% tax rate, can this also receive tax?

"It's true. I met a few captains who came back to find a car. I heard that the villagers over there were so happy to see them come to collect taxes. The village chief wished to bring his daughters to sleep with the tax collector. .” The captain of the city guard said inexplicably.

"..." Pavlov was really speechless, "What happened this year? Are the villagers crazy?"

"I don't know, my lord." The captain of the city guard looked at the villagers who were enthusiastically carrying food for them, and thought for a while, "70% of the tax is also paid, it must be crazy."

"My lord tax collector, is there any question?" Selwyn here saw that Pavlov was talking to the captain next to him, so he came over and asked.

"That... Selwyn, right?" Pavlov said.

"Yes, my lord." Selwyn nodded here.

"I found that our cars seem to be a bit insufficient. Do you have any cars in your village..." Pavlov asked.

"Everyone, the tax collector's car is not enough. Please do me a favor later. Use all those who have cars at home. Give the tax collector all the food and move it back to Satu Mare. We can't delay the lord. My lord's tax." Selwyn shouted immediately.

"Good village chief!"

"no problem!"

"Okay, I'm sure they are really crazy." Pavlov said to the captain of the city guard next to him.
