Chapter 213 Tax Rates

"This is so...amazing."

Kaa held it in for a long time, and finally summed it up with amazing words: "It is simply a miracle. Even in the Griffin Province of the empire, one hundred and fifty kilograms can be called a bumper harvest. But we achieved such a high harvest at night. Yield!"

"My lord is blessed by the goddess." Tate was unshaven, but his eyes were shining.

Field just smiled: "This is thanks to Miss Charlotte."

"Hehe, it's not that great." Feeling the eyes from all directions, Charlotte scratched her head shyly, "I just did my part. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

"Sir, manure is really effective. Even slaves who work rough and stupid can produce higher yields than free people."

Kao waved his hands excitedly: "We should promote it across the board."

"It's enough to release the news and publicize it vigorously. There is no need to enforce it." Field thought for a moment and smiled, "After all, the farmland of free people is only a minority. Besides, we don't need to tell them, they themselves will be jealous of the income of those who obey orders."

"By the way, if they need the fermented manure, they can buy it with copper coins. It's time to make more money."

The mill manufactured by Field also collects rent. Firstly, it prevents people from occupying it for a long time. Secondly, it can generate income, so why not do it.

"Now let's get back to the topic, what is the appropriate tax rate? You can give your own suggestions."

Kaa said without hesitation: "I suggest collecting 70% of the food tax. In addition, the subjects have been living off our food reserves in the past few months. We should charge an additional 20% of the food as part of the repayment. Until they repay us with interest.”

"Hiss~"

Field's scalp is numb and he takes away 90% of the farmers' harvest. You can be a human being.

The children who were listening did not have any objections. Obviously, the high tax rate did not surprise them.

Tate was the only one who was hesitant to speak and had an indignant expression.

Alas, there are still good people in this era, Field is very pleased.

"Tate, what do you think?"

Casting an encouraging look, Field motioned for him to stand up and express his opinion.

"I think we need to collect another half-percent tax, because the farm tools and water they use are provided by adults." Tate said in surprise, "As long as people don't starve to death, let them eat their own food. Selling labor power.”

"Huh?" Field was confused. He hoped that someone would step forward to reduce the farmers' burden, and instead increase the intensity of exploitation.

The vampire is actually next to me.

Think about it, Tate is an extreme workaholic, always urging slaves to work crazily, just to protect the interests of the lord, and is the most loyal defender of the power class.

Whoever the power comes from is accountable to whomever it comes from.

How can you speak for the people?

In this world, tax rates on farmland generally range from 60% to 90%.

60% of tax revenue is what farmers call "the clear soup master"

Field reluctantly put down the parchment in his hand and announced directly: "Collect 35% of the tax, 30% of which will be deposited in the granary, and the other half will be used as Charlotte's personal property."

"ah?"

Everyone was confused.

"Ah, this isn't right."

"What about your interests, sir?"

"There is no need to give such good treatment to the losers. If they eat too much, they will cause trouble."

"Just follow my order. In addition, starting from next Monday, food will not be distributed to the freedmen." Field directly used authority to suppress the voice of doubt, "The slaves will remain the same as before, and all farmland output will be handed over. Additional coins will be awarded according to the amount of output.”

With the military power of the Night Territory, Field had no worries about overfed idiots causing trouble.

"Everyone, go ahead and execute it."

Tate opened his mouth with disbelief on his face.

"Let's go, my lord is one of a kind."

The butler was no longer surprised, so he pulled Tate along, and everyone walked out of the hall while discussing.

"Field, I don't want any personal property, so you should take it." As soon as Kao and the others left, Charlotte rushed up to her and rubbed her body softly, shaking her head, "Why do I need so much wheat? I can't finish it." ”

"I'll give you money after you finish eating." Field said matter-of-factly, "It's normal to distribute according to work. You have put in so much work, and you deserve to be rewarded."

Field was motivated primarily by the Chosen One.

The chosen ones in the territory are very motivated, but an appropriate reward system needs to be formulated.

As if thinking about what "distribution according to work" means, Charlotte's brain shut down for a while: "I don't care, I'll leave it to you for safekeeping. We have a contractual relationship. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

"OK."

Not surprisingly, Field agreed.

"My lord, my lord, you should come and take a look at this." Goglis ran over panting, her big furry tail swaying vigorously, "Your book is glowing."

"Book, glow? Let's go take a look."

With a confused look on his face, Field immediately went to the basement of Starry Night Castle with Goglis.

As soon as you enter the basement, you will see all kinds of parts made of wood.

Noticing Field's gaze, Goglis took his hand and smiled sincerely with joy: "The repeating crossbow will be completed soon. Please wait for two days."

"very good."

Field directly resorted to touching the head to kill.

Goglisi: (●'◡'●)

Walking into a collection room in the basement, there were a lot of strange things placed in it. The magic book left by He Na when she was killed, and the ring, were placed on the display stand in the collection room.

Among them, the magic book was full of red light, which illuminated the collection room very scary.

"It's really glowing. Is it a special day today? For example, the moon is eclipsed by the dog."

For a moment, Field had no clue.

"Since they are all things from the Shadow World Sect, it doesn't make sense that the ring is useless." Field took out the ring and looked at it carefully.

"Perhaps, it can be charged with magic cores?" Gao Glis carefully looked at the ring for a moment, pointing at the ring and said, "It has a complex craftsmanship. If it is only used as a decoration, it is too unreasonable."

"Makes sense."

It happened that when he suppressed the rebellion before, he seized a car of magic cores, and Field took one out.

As soon as he put it on the ring, the magic core twisted like ripples and disappeared in an instant. At the same time, complex runes on the ring lit up, gathering into a complex magic array.

"Buzz~"

Feeling light all over, Field opened his eyes again and found himself in a huge underground secret room surrounded by burning torches.

"Fuck!"

Field was shocked and subconsciously moved towards the wall, but he was surprised to find that he had passed through the wall.
