I didn't do anything bad, but it wouldn't be interesting if I was suspected of various things.
I think so. Organize materials, such as beast materials, and make them easy to count.
Van's rule sells transparency. [M]The motto is fairness and justice, clear accounting, honest management, eye-catching, and delicious cuisine.
Well, I'm not sure, but if you disclose everything and say, "Come on, go ahead."And I said, "What a grand attitude.There's no way an honest man like this could embezzle or evade taxes!Must be.
Van, your plan is not insane.
Think so, finish your preparations and tell them to come at any time.
But every day, Belle's expression darkens.And the material of the beast that comes out from behind, whether it's lined up in the warehouse or not.
"Scaled snake (Rocksky), black feather fish (Friedelhedge), forest giant (Giant Troll).... Ah, even red blade tiger (Red Sabre).Wow, Black Dragon!? It's not a lower dragon! "
Gradually, the material of the large beast appeared, and finally the dragon appeared.
To my surprise, Bell began to murmur with a small voice. [M]
"... I still haven't been able to report these Beast materials to the Commercial Guild as well as the King's Capital..."
Hee? Why?
When I raised the question mark, Belle looked like she was about to cry and resent me.
"... adventurers hunt beasts in the dungeon like idiots, so don't beat the Adventurer Guild into our Chamber of Commerce.I wonder if Apcalle and the others are going to pay taxes, so Espada will sort some of them out and send some to our Chamber of Commerce... In addition, the adventurers will kill the weapons and armor Van makes... In the meantime, even the materials of the Magic Beast caught in the city's defenses won't catch up... even if he works hard, he can only strip them off... "
And Bell has appealed to the business.Sure, the employee hiring story was in the weekly report, but you still don't have enough manpower?
If you look closely, there is a bear under Bell's eyes and he seems to have lost a little weight.
Poor thing.
"... you don't seem to have much of a heart..."
With my sympathetic voice completely upset, Bell made a human distrustful statement. [M]
No matter how busy you are, humans shouldn't be like this.
"So the Bellango Chamber of Commerce, which is making a lot of money, is misleading a lot of sales."
"I'm not deceiving you!?That's why we just didn't make it!Did you hear that!? "
And Bell explained excitedly.
I laughed and apologized, pointing to the material.
Well, this material is going to be reported, shouldn't I say it like this?
When he answered, Bell began to roar with his arms together.
"Hmm... it's too much... believe it or not... actually, it's the first time I've investigated a commercial guild.I've never spoken face-to-face. "
"Oh, is that so? Is that so unusual?"
"No, I think there were investigators at the Mary Chamber of Commerce every year, but because the people at the top of the Chamber deal with it, we're totally...."
And Bell said with a difficult face.Indeed, if you think about it, it is obvious.It's like the tax office is coming to investigate.We have to have people at the core of the organization to explain it properly.
"... well, it's going to be."
If it's the first time, I don't know even if I think about it.I decided to give up early. [M]
Then Belle sighs deeply as she starts to cry again.
"I'll scratch my feet a little bit more.Complete the material book so you can prove that you plan to report it.I haven't made half of it yet..... "
"Oh, my gosh. Let's gather the paperwork so we can see how busy the Bellango Chamber of Commerce is.I'll have the tax revenues and recruitment reports from the monthly chambers of commerce, and then I'll have them summarize the sales reports for the weapons and armor I made. "
When I said that, Bell said, "Ah..."
Looking at the bell losing its complexion while sweating cold, I moan half-eyed. [M]
"I can't believe you're evading taxes...."
"Yes, no... the other way around"
"Reverse?"
When he leaned his neck to say what he was saying, Bell looked at us with a dry laugh.
"I paid a lot of taxes....."
"Oh, really? Thank you very much."
I can't believe you did that in private.I'll unload new weapons and armor for you next time.Maybe you'll be more profitable and cry.
I was thinking about that, but then I realized something important.
"What? So I'm the one who suspects you?"
When I heard back, Belle turned into a magical face.
"... the most important one is Van. The second is that we're healing....."
"What did you do to me?"
"No, I'm sorry!"
Turning around and complaining, Bell lowered his head deeply.I wave with a bitter smile. [M]
"I'm kidding. You can't be angry because you did it for me.But from now on, taxes will be fine for the usual price, right?I've already received enough money. "
That said, Belle nodded in tears.
In fact, my village of Theato has no revenue.The taxes coming up from the Bellango Chamber of Commerce are certainly large, but they are still part of it.To be honest, it is far more profitable to sell the monsters that defend the village and are crushed by the Knights of SEAT and ESPA to the Bellango Chamber of Commerce.
Incidentally, the weapons and armor I sold, the baristas and the arrows were also very profitable.
As an expenditure, the village's necessities and consumables are provided to the Berlango Chamber of Commerce at a deficit price, and the missing part is covered by my funds. I also pay for the food, daily necessities, and groceries of the Apcals.
Knights' salaries set at the Knights' operating costs and expense.Espada's salary. There are also subsidies for farmers who tend to have lower incomes.By the way, I'm still paying the headcount tax on behalf of all my citizens, but I'm not going to charge you for it.
In this way, it is a territory with much more welfare than other territories, but it still has an overwhelming deficit management.
I'd say this is Van, but it's not.
This is because other territories are least costly to build roads, walls, buildings, and even infrastructure.
This is a very big thing. It will take months to put a lot of labor into it, such as building walls.
That's why my territory is generating so much net profit that no one else is allowed to follow it.
"... hmm? Doesn't that mean that if you explain the operation of this village thoroughly, we can do something about it?"
Are you going to be okay?
Bell answered my conclusion anxiously. [M]
No, no, Van, your calculations should be perfect.
"I'll take care of it. As lord, I'll take care of the Commercial Guild investigator."
That said, when I slapped my chest, Belle finally looked relieved.
After such an exchange, just two days later, a man named Investigator of the Commercial Alliance arrived in the village of Seat.
The clerk of the Bellango Chamber of Commerce, Espada, Till and Camsin also cooperated and were followed by paperwork and filing until midnight.
Absolutely unexpected.
I went to pick up the Commercial Alliance investigator nervously.
I haven't heard from you yet, but how is Alte doing?I wish I hadn't.
