"Didn't the taxes this year have been paid long ago? Why do they still have to collect taxes? Does the above make sense?" The old paper man couldn't help asking.

The fourth master said: "Didn't you listen to me? It is a temporary increase. An important thing suddenly happened on it. Of course, taxation must be added. This is also a common thing in the past. Besides, Mai Town thinks To increase taxes, when did you discuss it with us?"

The four masters are telling the truth. This kind of thing is usually not unavailable. In addition to the normal taxes, Mai Town often collects taxes for other things. As the people at the bottom, they have no right to resist, only on time. Pay, otherwise just wait for your family to die. The old paper man could only sighed and said, "I don't know how much to add?"

The fourth master paused for a while, and then said: "The request from Mai Town is 16 spiritual stones or dark stones in the village. There are 640 people in our village, including 70 monks and 200 strong men. I have calculated. Now, every strong man needs to pay eight golds, each strong man has three golds, and the other old young women and children count as one, and each one is twelve silver..."

The currency system in Fallen Ghost Abyss is more complicated. Because the fairy monk and the ghost monk coexist and live together with ordinary people, the spirit stone, the dark stone, and the gold and silver are shared. The value of the spirit stone and the dark stone are equivalent. Yin Dan and other low-level medicines are followed by gold and silver. One Lingshi or Mingshi is equal to ten Qi-Nourishing Pills or Yin-Yin Pills, and it is also equal to one hundred gold or one thousand silver.

The fourth master said that the entire village needs to pay sixteen spiritual stones or dark stones, which is equivalent to paying one hundred and sixty nourishing pill, or one thousand six hundred gold, or sixteen thousand silver, which is considered to be the entire first seven villages. A huge cost, even if it is shared according to the method of the four masters, each person still needs eight golds, three golds, and twelve silvers. Fortunately, the monks say that there are more ways to earn gold and silver than ordinary people. It's difficult, especially those old young women and children. They can't do anything by themselves and need other people to support them. How can they get the money to pay taxes?

　　 When a young man goes out to work, his salary is only three silvers a month. If he can save half of his family’s expenses, it’s not bad. It’s only a few dozen silvers a year. If he only farms, his income will be even less. As for the monks, it is not much better. Mao Taoist income is still high. After going out for two or three months, only the commission of the hardware, deducting the cost of a year, can not save eight gold.

Mao Taoist had just returned from a business trip, but he could afford it, but no one’s money was blown by the wind. He still has a family to support. The point is that this is only a temporary additional tax, which is actually higher than the annual payment. The positive tax is still too much. If it is always the case in the future, who can afford it?

As soon as the fourth master’s voice fell, the entire field suddenly exploded. There are some in sorrow, some in despair, some in grief, some in cursing, and more people are angry, but there is nothing in their hearts. Ways, one after another prayed to the four masters, can it be reduced or exempted.

　　Four masters of course couldn't agree to it. He had only unconditional obedience to the task pressed above, and he would absolutely not dare to make a slight discount, otherwise he would definitely not be able to take it around. This time I added taxes to the top, I only added an extra spiritual stone on the original basis, which is already considered conscientious, that is, I am worried that it will cause great chaos, and it also depends on everyone’s sake. If you put yourself aside That deceased old man had to pay taxes, at least 20% more hard work.

　　 Taxes must not be less, and there are also accommodating methods. Those who cannot afford to pay temporarily can be paid on their behalf, but with such a large risk, no mortgage will not work, and the interest rate will also be higher.

　　 Seeing the chaos below, they all looked unwilling. The three fat guys knocked the gong tightly, suppressing everyone's voices, and the court quieted down. Then the fourth master cleared his throat and said: "The matter is settled. The deadline given by Mai Town is only half a month. If you can't hand it in by that time, you have all seen the above methods. I hope everyone can do it for themselves."

　　 Four masters said this, not only did not suppress everyone's dissatisfaction, on the contrary, more people shouted, and they were in a stance of breaking the jar. After all, most of the people in the village are still poor, and most of them can't afford it.

Seeing that something might happen in this situation, the fourth master had to stand up again and say: "You folks, there is a saying that our arms can't be screwed in the thighs, how can we people fight it? This time the increase in taxes is even done in Tongco County. No matter the Lord, let alone Mai Town, there is only a dead end to resist, and even drag the whole family. So, if I don’t have enough money, I can borrow temporarily, and I can collect a little less interest. I can’t watch the villagers suffer? "

The fourth master poured down a bucket of cold water, and immediately calmed down the villagers. Depraved Guiyuan’s strength is respected. Tax resistance has never seen anyone who has a good end. If this road fails, then you can only pay taxes obediently. Fortunately, the four masters promised to pay less interest, so that they will not starve to death~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing that everyone’s mood has eased, the fourth master said again: "For the sake of everyone, I will To provide you with a piece of news, Ma Xingchen, the mayor of Mai Town, is planning to go to Tonggu County to do business in the near future, and it may even go to Kuzuo City, but the road is not peaceful, and a team of guards needs to be added temporarily. The treatment is very generous and interested. You can try it. That is to say, I can't do many things, or if my village chief doesn't do it, I have to try my luck."

　　 I heard that the treatment is good, and many people are moved. They are worried that they have no money to pay taxes. The silly big one even asked in a loud voice at the back: "Four lords, how good is the treatment?"

Four masters said: "As long as you can be selected, you will be a servant of the mayor's family in the future. Not only will the whole family be tax-free, but you will also receive two monthly remunerations. At the same time, the cultivation base in the later stage of the open pulse realm must be respected by the mayor."

　　 Not to mention other things, the exemption of taxes alone is enough to make people lose their heads, and the monthly remuneration of two golds is several times higher than the income of ordinary young men. Who will not be tempted? You know, Mao Taoist worked hard to drive the corpses for a year, and the income was not as high as this, but the conditions were a little harsher, and the entire Touqi Village had no more than ten people.

This news was originally intended to be suppressed by the Fourth Master. He only allowed his son, Fatty Three, to participate in the election. With fewer competitors, the chance of election is higher. However, in this situation, the villagers’ emotions are like one. The gunpowder keg is just one point, and you must find a way to cool it down. After this news was released, several cultivators in the late stage of the open pulse realm in the village were attracted. No one took the lead, and the rest of the ordinary people couldn’t turn it over. What a storm.
