Tax and trouble

There are three major taxes in the town of Shashat.

Population tax, land tax, and port tax.

The head tax is a tax levied on all people living in this city, and it is a tax of one person regardless of age.

This tax applies to those who have a house in the town of Shashat, not to travelers.

The street dwellers ... are out of scope or overlooked.

Last year's cap tax was six large copper coins per person.

By paying this, you can get various services from the town of Shashat.

Few people are reluctant to pay cap taxes for their services.

Land tax is a tax that is levied when buying and selling land and is paid by the buyer.

The tax rate changes depending on the time and the case, but it is 10% to 20% of the land cost.

It is customary to include a notice when the land owner changes.

Finally a port tax.

This is paid for by ships calling at the port of the city of Shashat.

It is determined in detail according to the type and size of the ship.

That's all, but did you notice?

Unless you buy or sell land or own a ship in the town of Shashat, there is only a head tax.

In other words, there is no tax on profits from business.

Is there such a thing?

There is.

Omoto's problem lies in the low literacy rate in this world.

Reading and writing letters is done by great people, others do not need to read or write separately.

Merchants are likely to be readable and writable, but it is only necessary for trade merchants, managers of large stores and clerks, and it is common for small store managers, clerks and stall owners to be unable to read and write.

Yes, it is not unusual.

So who can't read and write can make a book of daily sales?

I don't make an answer.

If you don't make books, you won't know how much you've made or lost.

How to get taxes from a shop in such a state.

There is no problem with the city's operating expenses due to land tax and port tax, so the officials are not eager to take it.

So big shop is all you can earn?

You may think so, but that is not the case.

Taxes are not named because they are not taken fairly, but some are close to taxes.

Water bill, disaster prevention fee, garbage disposal fee, sewage use fee.

water bill.

There are few wells in this city and the water draws water from upstream of the river.

Maintenance cost of the water supply.

Disaster prevention costs.

If a fire starts in the city, put out the fire with the people in the city.

At that time, it is used as a remedy for those who have been affected by fire and for those who have worked hard on fire prevention.

Garbage disposal fee.

When people live, garbage comes out.

The price to hire those who collect and dispose of the garbage.

Sewage treatment fee.

The city is filled with sewage and there is a pool of slime in certain places where it is purified.

Maintenance cost of the sewage.

By the way, it is a favorite to purify rich houses and the like, and then drain them into sewage.

These four are collected for the users.

I guess this should come from the city's operating expenses, but his words were simple.

"Can I stop those four for administrative reasons?"

The government has nothing to do with the four, so it is up to you to do it yourself.

The townspeople agreed rather than intervene poorly.

That was hundreds of years ago.

At present, he is involved in the operation of commercial guilds in the town of Shashat, depending on how much he or she has donated.

Commercial guild people were concerned with paying and donating these four.

Having a store in the store can be a bit confusing, so I want you to do something.

"Water bills and garbage disposal bills are determined by the amount used, so we will pay them in a lump ..."

"The toilet at this store has a purification pool, so the sewage usage fee does not change."

"Is the problem a disaster prevention budget?"

"Yes, it's a fixed price regardless of the size of the store, so how do you judge the store inside?"

"I don't pay the stalls from the beginning. Is it necessary to pay for disaster prevention because I put the stalls in the store?"

"I'm going to get a lot of money from stores that use fire to think about it."

Commercial guilds Michael, Marlon, Tito, and Randy talk around me.

Leave it to those who know it.

No, I understand to some extent, but I don't understand customs or practices.

I just heard from Michael.

I told Michael that I would pay if it wasn't unreasonably expensive, and I and Milford would wait quietly.

Oh, Milford returned shooting.

He seems to have expressed various opinions to the mountain elves regarding the movement of the target and the pattern.

I also want to participate there, but I'm leaving here ...

You can't really do it.

I'm responsible.

There is no way.

Let's use an empty table because it will be long.

"Finally about donations"

After the talk was over, the guy from the commercial guild told me with a serious face that this was the main subject.

It's called a donation, but it's all about a commercial guild.

It is stipulated that each bite is a piece of silver, and shops of a certain size are to be paid.

It's not surprising that I heard this when opening a store in the town of Shashart.

Michael intercepts it.

"Wait. It's customary to be exempted from donations in the first year of opening."

"That's right, but it already seems to be making a big profit ..."

"Maybe, but it's too urgent to make an exception. Isn't it a mistake to ask if you want to pay here?"

"I think so, but I'm sorry. I have the above intention. I'd like to ask about a thousand if possible."

Thousands… .Thousands of silver coins, so one million coins?

"Before me ... is that your intention?"

“Yes.

"So that's it"

It seems to me between the commercial guild and Michael, but I don't know.

I asked Marlon for help.

"Well, today's commercial guilds don't go against the Gourown firm, because the top tier of the commercial guild is subordinated by his father."

In the past, the Gorown firm was one of the leading firms in the town of Shashat, but is now said to be the leading firm in the town of Shashat.

The intention to deal with this shop, which the Gourown firm may be involved in, is above the commercial guild.

"A representative of the city ... Is it if I was a secretary of Ihurus? Is that his intention?"

"No, Deputy Ifurus is a very good person. I will not imitate this. In this case, it would be aristocrat."

"Noble"

Speaking of which, this was an aristocracy.

In other words, is a nobleman trying to make our shop pay a million coins?

......

I can't think of it in any favor.

Does this commercial guild also carry a stick?

"Oh, um, he's fine. Maybe he's threatened."

Marlon wants to see the people in the commercial guild.

This commercial guild man was pulling his left sleeve with his right hand.

Many times.

That's the meaning of wanting help with signs used in commercial guilds.

"Now, Milford is going to gather people."

e?

Milford is shooting ...

So that's it.

Did you leave your seat naturally and go for help?

Should I ask a high elf or a mountain elf for help?

By the way, where did Gulf go?

......

Gulf seized someone in the store.

"Marlon. Are you familiar with the person Gulf takes over there?"

"Eh? That ... I don't recognize it, but I'm a noble from the outfit."

that's right.

I think so too.

Commercial guilds also noticed.

"... that one"

Is that man an enemy?

I waved to Gulf and brought me the noble that had been seized.

The nobleman was tied with a rope and sat on the floor.

"The fools! Don't think I'll just do this to me!"

"Michael. In this case, can I attack him?"

"It's tough"

"So who claims compensation?"

"It's malicious, but at the moment it's just a donation and it's not harmful ..."

"What offended you?"

"Unfortunately……"

I can't seem to fight him back.

"Don't ignore me!"

The aristocrat was a young man.

Twenty before my senses.

He likes black clothes and has sheep horns on the left and right sides of his head.

Oh, it's fashion because the corner of the head can be removed.

"Here, turn the corner! I can't forgive me for being rude!"

It is an accessory.

It is an accessory at all costs.

I mean, I'm suspicious of being a noble.

However, commercial guilds say they are venerable nobles.

"It's a legitimate son of the Viscount Albatross. He's registered as a nobleman in the Demon Kingdom, so he's a proper nobleman."

Noble ...

To be honest, I have trouble responding.

I don't care if I get angry, but I don't want Michael to be damaged.

The store has just opened.

Also, it is troublesome to affect Taiki's village.

"What about doing this thing that wasn't there?"

I tried to propose a Japanese settlement, but I was dismissed.

"Don't be playful! You're done. You're against me!"

No, I don't remember going against it.

Retired Gulf caught him because he forced the customers enjoying the meal ...

"Noisy! I'm noble! I'm great!"

He sighs about his words.

Oh, Michael sighs without hiding.

For the time being, look for someone who might have an opinion on what happened.

......

The founder raised his hand.

"Let's bring in?"

Where have you been so far?

"Ah, what's with you?"

The guy in the commercial guild, who probably doesn't know the founder, continued.

I guess I was related to my attitude.

"The person with the highest position"

"Are you able to hold this place? Oh, a deputy?"

"A person bigger than him. I guess he'll be in this place exactly."

Who is it?

You're not from Taiki's village, right?

"Oh, sorry to trouble you, but thank you."

"Actually, he's already there. Yes, behind."

"e?"

The Demon King stood behind a commercial guild man.

"I was at work ..."

It's not bargaining or chatty.

It was violence by authority.

Complete surrender of the Albatross son.

His purpose is money.

Threatened commercial guild staff and forced donations to shops that seemed to make money.

The store appeared in trouble and was rewarded for making a small donation.

"I did it for the first time. I'm sorry. I'm done. Please forgive me."

The Albatross son apologizes with all his might, but rejects the Demon King.

"I'm sorry, but it's bad. I've issued a no-use notice for this store. If you do it safely, you'll find it's sweet."

It seems that the store was protected by the Devil in a place I did not know.

"Condemn Viscount Albatross. Think about your apology."

"Hi, yeah, that's it."

I can't talk.

In fact, he tried to speak, but was stopped by Michael.

"It's not good to give an opinion to the Demon King where many people in the Demon Kingdom are watching."

That's true.

My store is the party, but this is the demon kingdom.

"When calling out, should I call my Majesty?"

"Hahaha. In the Demon Kingdom, it's okay to be a Demon King."

It's a title.

The Demon King enumerates punishments while walking around the Albatross legitimate man.

I enumerate, isn't one of them enough punishment?

I don't think you can stand it.

What is the Demon King doing?

No, are you waiting?

Occasionally, the gaze is sent to the founder.

Every time he receives that gaze, he is laughing as to what to do.

Oh, I noticed my gaze.

"Please wait"

The founder raised his hand and went forward.

"Mmm. You are Colin ..."

"Haha. It's natural to punish those who sin. But too severe of a punishment will flee to the land of the dead without suffering.

"Sure, do you have any hands?"

"Yes. Please deposit him at the Colin Temple in the city of Shashat. I think that will be a long and tormenting punishment for him."

"Hmm ... I see. I won't let you go."

"Hahhh"

The founder bowed down and applauded the people watching.

I wonder what.

I feel like I was watching a play.

The cause is probably the founder's radish play.

Demon King was good.

There was dignity.

Well, I wonder if it's calm.

The worst victims are commercial guilds who were spotted by the Albatross legitimate men.

"It's a sneak peek. If you're well-know, you'll rarely get out of your hands as someone who doesn't succumb to some threats."

Michael is tough.

Even though it was an attempt, there seems to be some penalty for commercial guilds.

Assuming that the commercial guild is not the worst victim ...

Next is the security guard gathered by Milford.

It was already running though it ran.

Besides, there is a demon king and surprised.

Thank you for your hard work.

It was a waste of bones, but we had him come and we had a curry.

I'll probably take care of you in the future.

Oh, let's go to the Demon King.

It was bad to get involved this time.

It was the founder who got involved.

"By the way, what's with him?"

"Let's do what?"

"e?"

"Honestly, the Demon King was also in trouble. I can't forgive him, but severe punishment would hurt the Albatross."

"Is it a house that is so influential?"

"I'm a noble with no territory, but there's only blood in each place."

Seems to be troublesome.

"Well, let's put this matter in Uyamya by leaving it to half-Colin, and we'll throw it out at the right time."

"Is that OK?"

"It's the judgment of the current Demon King. I can't go back."

The founder said with a laugh.

The worst victim may be the Colin temple in Shashat, the city that will probably entrust him.
