Gold coin is justice

Chapter 54 Economy is the most important, but...also the most troublesome

All human activities are economically oriented from a macro perspective.

It is precisely because of economic development that there will be classes and landlords, and by this development will there be nobles and emperors who rule the entire country.

As a royal family, besides the dignity of status, the most important thing is to ensure that one's wealth is abundant.

A impoverished but empty royal family may be able to survive and be the least loved by the people in its territory.But once such a royal family encounters aggression from other countries, they will immediately fall from power. After all, those peasants will not completely protect you or even sacrifice their lives just because you are a royal family.

Therefore, taxation is one of the basic assets of a country.

Perhaps for some countries, taxation is not the main source of finance.But it is definitely a basic component.

To put it bluntly, everything is a matter of gold coins.If you have money, you can negotiate. If you don't have money, no matter what royal family you are, even demons or protoss, no human activities in the world can have any impact.

Since October, Airo has been carefully calculating his guild’s property income every day.

After two months of operation, he was already convinced that if he only worked with the assignment of Pelican Town, his income would be pitiful.Although it is possible to maintain a loss-free operation in general, it is impossible to earn 1,000 gold coins in the Holy Eve Festival three years later at such a speed of money.

These days, he is also worried, for fear that some big man will follow the trail of the iron wolf to find here to trouble them.

But he also hoped that someone could come, because the gold nugget that Merlin took away was unquestionable. In Merlin...or in other words, some great master behind the Eye of Truth must have begun planning some action.Whether you can smoothly ride these actions is the key to your own development!

It's a pity that no one is here these days, no matter whether it is good or bad, everything seems very peaceful, as if no one cares about the iron wolf, and no one cares about the gold at all.

While doing the billing, Airo looked up at the sky outside.

How about... Organize another adventure into the mine?

This thought was just raised from Airo's head, and it was immediately extinguished by his reason.

The mine is still a bit high for Song of Mermaid, at least, if you can go to the nearest big city to build some swords and spears...

Forget it, don't want to.

Ai Luo raised the account book in his hand again, checked it up and down again, nodded, closed it, and walked out the door.

The weather has begun to cool down, and as the temperature drops, the number of stalls in the central square has obviously decreased.

If you really want to sell things, the first month of the fall is enough to sell a lot of things, and the next thing to greet Pelican Town is a quiet winter.Therefore, the reduction of stalls is also expected.

Crossing the square, walking down the street to the mayor's residence of the mayor of Round Cheese, Airo gently clicked the door.After the mayor saw through the window that it was Airo, he ran over and opened the door happily.

"Boss, business is booming!"

Ai Luo smiled, and Round Cheese naturally also smiled.

"Hahaha! Business is prosperous, everyone is prosperous! President Airo, I am preparing food for your students this month!"

Of course, Airo could hear the subtext inside, and then he lifted the purse and shook it, and smiled: "Of course, isn't this? I also came to pay for the food."

With money, it is natural to say anything.

Round Cheese happily took Airo into the living room, and his wife handed Airo a cup of tea.

"Yes, this is the food expenses for the students in October. You see, one iron coin a day per person, thirty days, forty people, a total of 1 gold and 2 silver."

Airo took out a gold coin and two silver coins from his pocket and placed them in front of Round Cheese. The mayor was smiling from ear to ear, nodding his head again and again, and quickly moved the three with his hands slightly moistened with flour. Putting the coin in his arms, he weighed it lightly, and smiled more happily.

"Oh, for our education in Pelican Town, this is what it should be! Have you had lunch? Why don't you leave after lunch! Hurry up, dear! Let's prepare lunch soon!"

Airo is also not polite. At this time, being too polite means seeing offense: "Then I would be more respectful than fate."

When the mayor’s wife went to Zhang Luo for lunch, Ai Luo took out the ledger in her arms and spread it in front of Yuan Cheese, and said: “Mayor, this is the revenue of our Mermaid Song since its establishment. According to the tax law, We should pay 15% of all work income, but since the guild is in the initial stage, it can reduce taxes by five points, so...

"Oh, don't tell me this!"

Speaking of numbers, the smiley face of Yuan Cheese just became difficult to look at.

The mayor said with a gloomy expression: "I, the mayor, although I have said that I have done my best for our town, I know everyone in our town and the family status of each family. As long as it is our Pelican Town Townspeople, as long as something happens to someone's house, I will do my best to help everyone."

"But ah, the biggest headache for me every year is this period... it is really uncomfortable to count taxes! Hey, Ai Luo, look over there, come here, and I will show you."

Round Cheese took Airol's hand without any explanation, dragged him to the office, pointed to the pile of documents on the table, and said grimly: "Look, these are the bills from the town this year. Taxes. I’m not going to talk about the little spirits pub, just talk about the tailor shop in Pudian and the tool shop in Long Stick. These two shops have so many ledgers, I have to calculate the accounts inside, but also calculate Duty-free allowances and taxes, these few days have really caused my head to blow up!"

Looking at so many ledgers on the desktop, to be honest... Ai Luo was very happy.

Looking at the frowning look of Round Cheese now, Ai Luo felt even more happy as if he was taking a bath in the spacious bathroom while singing loudly!

The accounts are not clear?Confusing accounts?It would be great!

The more so, doesn't it mean that this money laundering account is more likely to be fooled?

Therefore, even though Airo's heart is already happy, there is still a very embarrassed expression on his face: "That's it... but the boss, my ledger... what should I do? Don't you need to check it?"

Yuan Cheese waved his hand and said impatiently: "What is the accounting? I believe you, you say you should pay as much tax as you should. My own cheese shop is not clear about it. It's true at this time. I hope that a high-achieving student can come and help clear the accounts..."

Having said that, Yuan Cheese suddenly brightened his eyes!The flour-soaked hands immediately grabbed Ai Luo's hand, and said with golden light in his eyes: "Right! I heard that you are a graduate of Old Tengshu College, right? It is the old man in Hanhai City, our capital. Tengshu Academy, right?!"

"Huh? Ah, yes..."

"Great! Since I am a senior student of Teng Shu, I must be able to settle the accounts! Brother Ai Luo, can you help me calculate these accounts? I really have a headache! I really don't have the energy to do the calculations! If If possible, I hope you can calculate the accounts of our entire town in the last few days! Because it is during this time that the tax officer will come to check the accounts. I don’t want to leave my mayor to the tax officer. What an impression!"

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment: "Why the mayor? Did you calculate your accounts clearly before?"

Yuan Cheese shook his head very confidently: "No, it's always a mess. So I get scolded by the tax officer almost every year."

The mayor looked around, confirmed that there was no one around, and leaned in, and whispered, “I’m a mayor anyway, but every time I’m scolded, I can’t lift my neck. , I’m always told that I can quit my job and don’t do things like that... You think, I’m a person, and I don’t have any other hobbies. It’s a matter of face... More or less I hope to have a little bit. I also hope that one day I can not be The tax officer scolded like a grandson..."

If you don't want to be scolded, then check the accounts and calculate them.This is not a complicated job, it is purely a matter of patience and time.If you are a tax officer, and every time you come to collect taxes, you see such a confused account, then Airo guesses that he will want to curse.

As the president of the Adventurers’ Guild, Airo had no reason to refuse the commission, and then smiled: "Well, in this case, I will accept your commission from the mayor. Let me think about it, although this commission is not dangerous. , But it takes a lot of time, and the tax officer should be there in the next few days? Time is still very tight... so in terms of fees..."

Airobi made a money gesture, and the expression on Round Cheese's face suddenly became darker.From this point of view, Airo felt that the mayor was a lot like him-he valued money so much.

"Um...how much do you want?"

Ai Luo thought for a while: "How much time would you need if you let you sort this out by yourself?"

Yuan Cheese's face blackened: "My own words...it won't be done for ten and a half months..."

Ai Luo smiled and said, "Well, how about it, 5 copper coins a day, I will help you fix it in a week?"

The mayor’s expression was like he was about to swallow all these bills, with an unbelievable look: "5 copper coins a day?! I said President Airo, everyone is a part of the town, and they can do it with each other. If you have a discussion, do you charge me so expensive? It costs 3 silvers and 5 bronzes a week!"

Ai Luo shrugged, and said helplessly: "I can't help it. I am the guild president. It is always more expensive to ask the guild president to serve in person."

Round Cheese immediately shook his head like a rattle: "This won't work, it's too expensive, too expensive! I've seen the charging standards for tasks in your guild. There is no life-threatening charge for a maximum of 1 silver coin, right? Give me a daily basis? Too expensive! If it is really so expensive, then I would rather be scolded by the tax officer. For one silver coin, I can give you at most one silver coin at most. Can you help?"

Ai Luo smiled and put the account book in his hand on the mayor's desk: "Then, please ask the mayor to help us calculate our guild's account, as well as taxes. I will put it here first."
