Gold coin is justice

"Handicap?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand the meaning of it for a while.

The little spirits boss was the first to react and said, "Are you going to start a gambling? This tax is very scary."

Airo nodded and continued: "In principle, our empire does not support the gambling industry. Because this will cause a large number of gold coins to flow into the hands of a few people, and may also cause social unrest."

"However, although it does not support it, under the checks and balances of high taxes, the country will not overly oppose it."

"Nowadays, our empire has established a'luxury entertainment tax' to levy taxes on some low-cost, high-revenue activities and goods. For example, open brothels, purchase non-commercial private pleasure ships, etc. Among them are gambling. Among the eleven types of categories, there is the type of "competitive gambling" that I am about to open. The organizer of this type of gambling needs to pay 67% of the revenue as a tax. So in fact, big Part of the money country will levy taxes and take away, our Song of Mermaid will use the remaining money as a supplement to our income.

Airo paused for a while and continued: "As I said, I plan to open a handicap. But relatively speaking, I hope everyone in Pelican Town will not bet on my handicap. No matter how gambling is said, A potentially addictive thing, I just want to fill the economic hole of our mermaid song, and I don’t really want to make a fortune with this. So, please remind each other, tell each other, and supervise each other. Thank you everyone. ."

Ai Luo said sincerely, this attitude can certainly win everyone's favor.

But if we say that, we need to discuss the actual situation again.Now that I have spoken very friendly, in case someone really places a bet on this, and in the end is pitted a lot of money, I am embarrassed to trouble myself.

On the other hand, Aylor himself was a little cautious, and it was not convenient to talk to everyone.

Although the gambling industry is barely allowed by the Empire, operating this kind of thing will not be arrested by the soldiers of the Empire.But in fact, the 67% super-high tax rate is destined to be difficult to make any money in this business industry.On the other hand, it is equivalent to a soft ban on the gambling industry by the state.Only when the state needs it, will some nobles or agents be allowed to open some gambling industries and conduct a wave of "disguised taxation".

However, since the townspeople in Pelican Town don't seem to understand this information very well, they actually need very little manpower and material resources for this handicap.The townspeople will treat this handicap work as the previous construction, and the publicity work will be treated equally.

Therefore, even if the tax rate is as high as 67%, Song of Mermaid is almost using a relatively close to zero cost, so in general, it should be able to make a profit.

In this way, one after another, Airo gradually allocated the work he could think of to everyone's hands.Although it is getting close to the evening, and the sky outside is not much and it is completely dark, the townspeople are not tired of being motivated by the "money", but rather excited!

Sending away the townsfolk, Airo stretched hard.

Tonight, this need to mobilize the entire town should be passed on to every Pelican townsman.

That means that the next day, this is about making a lot of money in Pelican Town, and also about whether your Mermaid Song can make a lot of money through this game, or directly close the large guild. War activities must start immediately!

——On December 6, 1301, food expenses: -2 copper and 1 iron, starting capital: -120 gold, balance: 9 gold, 2 silver, 6 copper and 5 iron (balance of stolen money: 34 gold, 7 silver and 7 copper)——

The next day, as soon as Airo opened the door of the guild, he immediately felt the change in the atmosphere of Pelican Town.

The streets that were originally white and empty began to be full of life, and the townspeople began to sweep the snow in front of the gates and widen the roads.

Seeing this atmosphere, Ai Luo raised his head and looked at the sky where the sun is now high.

"It's really good weather. There is no better weather for the first day of construction than this."

Ai Luo sighed, then immediately turned around and greeted his own guild members.The song of the mermaid surrounded the dining table and had a small meeting while having a simple breakfast.

"Just as we discussed yesterday, after dinner, everyone will help move."

Ai Luo said very seriously--

"Try to be careful during the move, be polite, and polite. After moving, try to help them clean their new home. All this will be completed within one day today. Is it okay?"

Shengbing smiled and said, "I am still a little confident in terms of strength and strength. But President, are you sure you can really do it? The next work is very busy, with various statistics and various schedules. It's about the process of guild wars. Just thinking about it, I think there is a lot of paste in my mind. Can you?"

Airo is not exaggerating, saying: "I also helped the teachers of the combat and magic departments prepare for the competition when I was in school. Although I haven't really hosted, it shouldn't be a problem how to do it. As for the battle process. , Just copy the battle process of my alma mater, some inconvenient places can be changed."

Seeing everyone finished eating in twos and threes, Ai Luo slapped his hands: "Now, let's go! I hope our planning activities this time can be a complete success! Remember everyone, although the purpose of our Mermaid Song is to make money, but another On the other hand, we also want to enrich the winter entertainment life in several nearby towns, plus let Pelican Town have extra income in winter. Please don’t forget these three points, and when the three goals conflict, you can persuade, but you can’t. If you persuade you, try to put the income of Pelican Town as your top priority, understand?"

Everyone answered, and then walked out of the guild gate arrogantly and began to work!

————

Busy with work, everyone in Pelican Town was mobilized.

Even the elderly, women and children, as long as they can help, all work hard for this event.

Airo constantly shuttles back and forth between the units every day, investigating the situation while fine-tuning the problems that occur in reality.

I have to say that Airo really wants to thank Pelican Town for its mobility.After all, when he saw the huge and exquisite fountain in the square being smashed in one breath, but none of the townspeople beside him had any expressions of pity, he was still a little amazed.

The old lumberjack made a roller, and the townspeople hung it on the buildings around the square as instructed.As long as you open it, you can pull out the cloth strips to block the snow and water in the sky, and when you close it, you can see the sun hanging overhead.

A ton of sand and rocks were dug from the foot of the Everest Mountain Range, and solid trees were also transported from Shining Forest.

People connect the arena based on the existing waterways, enclosing entrances and exits, blocking some places that are easy to be exploited.From time to time, people can be heard shouting to make everyone be careful, and then the wall of the high-rise building on the edge of the square was smashed open with a hammer.

Leaving the square, people began to come and go in every vacant building in the town.They cleaned these houses and kept everything in order.Almost every day, you can see several buildings renewed!

When encountering problems, the townspeople discussed with each other and thought about ways to solve the problem.Sometimes when Airo rushed over after hearing the news, these experienced locals had already solved the problem and returned to their busy work.

Even the propaganda work that worries Airo the most is now proceeding in order.

When the little spirits boss returned with the propaganda team and a lot of preparation materials for the third time, he handed a big bag to Airo's hand.

When I opened it, it was filled with various copper coins and iron coins, just a few counts, just enough for five gold coins.It means that the votes of 500 people have been dumped!

Faced with the always serious face of the little spirit boss, Ai Luo laughed so much that he was about to drop his hat.Fortunately, he held it, covering his hat in time and ran away.

All the work went smoothly, but in the smooth process of all this, Airo still had a little bit of worry in his heart.

What should be done to make this battle really like what I said, even if both sides go all out, it will not cause blood, maiming, or death between them?

As the days get closer, this worry in Ai Luo's heart becomes more and more obvious.

"Napa, would you? This kind of magic."

At dinner time, just a few days before the guild war will begin.But this problem has never been able to be resolved, Ai Luo had to ask the monster.

Napa, who was drinking milk, raised her head, her ears flickered slightly, and said, "Well...I haven't heard of this kind of magic. Are you sure your Old Vine Tree Academy can do this?"

Airo nodded and said with certainty: "It's definitely possible. Our school's practical courses are very strict, so there are not a few students who go all out. But every time they finish playing, they can appear unscathed, which is true. It surprised me very much. So this time, I hope to have such an effect."

Napa shook her head slightly, and said with a flick of her tail: "That's not easy, can you just cast a powerful protective magic on your body? After the fight, make sure that there is no pain or itching, not even the slightest injury. Our side There happens to be a high priest, you can ask him if he can use this kind of defensive magic."
