Lord: I Am in a World of Pain, Raising a Girl

Chapter 657 New Tax of 860,000 Gold Coins

"Why don't you just deliver the supplies to our Svaro family? I have to follow you in the blizzard." The woman in the blue robe crossed her arms and said dissatisfiedly, "I hate you like a piece of wood."

The imperial official with a big belly also complained: "Oh my God, these supplies should be returned to the treasury. Mr. Grann, it's ridiculous to send precious supplies to the ruins."

"People die in battle every minute and every second on the eastern border, but you send precious supplies to useless places."

There were three waves of people in front of the castle gate, at least two or three hundred people, making a lot of noise.

"No, this is a donation from everyone to the border, and no one can take it away in advance."

The thin man called Mr. Grann exhaled hot air and said angrily: "We must curb the disaster. Countless soldiers have also sacrificed in the North. How can it be said to be useless."

"Bull Territory is our territory, and Baron Johnson is our vassal." The woman said unhappily, "If you send it here, I will have to transport it back to the family. It's simply unnecessary, especially in this weather."

The imperial official protested: "No, this batch of supplies must be handed over to the royal family! The queen owns the entire empire and can naturally handle the aid supplies."

Hearing what the two said, Grann almost fainted.

"Ashina, your wolf ears are too obvious, hide first."

Patting Asina and asking her to avoid suspicion first, Field swaggered out: "Let me see what's going on."

"Lord Baron!"

The soldiers led by Ye Mu immediately stood straight and saluted respectfully when they saw Field coming.

"Field?"

The uniform movements made Ms. Ada of the Svaro family unable to help but look sideways and look up and down at the young man.

"You are..." Grann looked up and down at Field.

"I am Field. I heard you were looking for me."

"Goddess, I am honored to meet you here. Thank you for your contribution to resisting the disaster. Here are some supplies for you."

Grann spread his hands and said bluntly: "If nothing unexpected happens, this is the last aid."

"Although the border fortress is related to the lives of countless people, the empire is unwilling to pay even a gold coin. Fortunately, people of insight from all over the world are grateful for your contribution to everyone. We specially raised funds to purchase the aid and it will be delivered by our Chamber of Commerce."

The thin man in front of him had gray hair, but his eyes flashed with kindness and determination.

"I see."

Field suddenly realized that he thought Her Majesty the Queen had a change of heart. It turned out that the supplies were not sent by the Queen at all, but by a small number of far-sighted nobles and civilians who raised funds and donated.

"I'm sorry. After all, everyone's life is not easy. We have tried our best to raise these." Grann sighed.

"I can understand. With me here, the border fortress will never fall." Field nodded solemnly, moved.

"Forget it, Field, you coward who violates the spirit of chivalry, these are the property of the empire." The imperial official was angry, "Why send it to the Night Territory? Can there be living people there? If there are living people, I will eat a pound!"

Field snorted coldly: "The materials sent to me have nothing to do with you. According to the imperial law, I don't need subsidies for opening up the northern border."

"Subsidy? Why not pay taxes first."

The imperial official was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Field to dare to talk back. He sneered and pouted unhappily. He took a roll of parchment from the servant.

"Field, you need to pay donation tax to receive donations."

"You lost in Canghai Province, you need to pay defeat tax."

"You killed the enemy, you need to pay the enemy's death tax."

"You..."

"Shut up, don't bark here, it will affect your brother Fei's mood."

Field was furious. Killing the enemy actually requires paying the enemy's death tax. Which genius came up with this tax law?

"Look for yourself, it's all the Queen's decision. Don't be unconvinced. You are not the only one who needs to pay." The imperial official threw the parchment over, "A total of 860,000 gold coins, pay it now, immediately!"

"Someone wants to die." Field drew his sword without saying a word.

"Protect the adults!" The soldiers of the Night Leader reacted immediately, and the sounds of raising shields and pulling strings were heard around them.

The guards of the imperial officials also drew their swords.

"Get out of here."

The little sun hidden in the robe on the side almost exploded with anger. She couldn't hold it back for a long time, and the invisible divine power and pressure burst out instantly.

The breath of the fourth level was like an awakened ancient dragon. Everyone present was instantly shocked, and even their fingers could not move.

"Fuck, Field, what do you want to do!"

The imperial official's pupils were shaking, and he was scared to pee. He couldn't help trembling: "Damn, why does the baron have a fourth-level God's Chosen!"

"Mr. Field, let's talk nicely."

Gran pushed with both hands, signaling Field to calm down.

Even the people of the Svaro family jumped out nervously. They didn't dare to watch the imperial officials being beheaded.

The God's Chosen of the Svaro family, Ada secretly said: "Sure enough, the rumors are false. To have a fourth-level God's Chosen at such a young age, he must be the darling of the family."

"Boy, don't be arrogant. Don't think that the queen can't rule you just because you hear some gossip." The imperial official barely recovered, and felt the teasing eyes cast around him, and he felt angry.

"You will soon see how powerful the empire is!"

"Anyone who goes against Her Majesty the Queen will die without a burial place."

The imperial official dropped the parchment: "Give you a chance to pay the tax when spring comes. Otherwise, the Northern Army of the Empire will come to deal with you personally!"

After saying this, the imperial officials and their servants, trying to save their face, got into a specially made carriage and ran away.

Field quickly calmed down and didn't take his threat seriously. But the other party is right about one thing. Now is not the best time to fall out, especially when there are a lot of people watching.

Nodding to Ashina who was hiding in the darkness, Ashina understood the situation and immediately followed the imperial officials.

As soon as they leave the Bull Territory, Asheina will take action. As for taxes, go to hell with the Queen.

"Stupid and naive little brat, you really don't know how to be a lord." Ada snorted and laughed in her heart, "You really dare to be disrespectful to the Queen's envoy. Do you think you can resist the majesty of the empire? "

"Huh~" Field breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sorry, I thought of the soldiers who died in the battle, so I couldn't maintain the elegance of a noble."

"I can understand, my son died in Qianhu Province."

Grann nodded lonely: "But the harder it is, the stronger we need to be to not let the rotting corpses escape. The six boxes of supplies over there are all for you."
