Otherworld Management Manual

Zhang Feng's face was a little ugly.

Of course, this is pretend.

But others don't know, even the king is a little embarrassed.

"Marquis Zhang Feng, if you have any questions or difficulties, just tell me!"

The reason why the king wants Zhang Feng to take the land of the extreme north, apart from Zhang Feng's previous desire, is that Zhang Feng is richer! It's also very profitable!

Moreover, although the king had never visited the market outside the city, he had heard reports from his subordinates that the daily flow of water in that market was more than a few hundred coins!

You know, this is a very simple little market!

Although there are many types of things sold there, the quantity is very small. Many things have been sold out, but even so, the daily gold coin turnover is exaggerated. If this market can be opened for a month, there will be The flow of tens of thousands of gold coins! If the income is calculated according to the normal rate, it is not bad to have two or three achievements, then there is at least a net income of two thousand gold coins!

A net profit of 2,000 gold coins in a month means more than 20,000 gold coins in a year. This is just a small market!

Of course, the king knew that he didn’t calculate the accounts in this way. The things he sold were new, and no one had seen them before. Naturally, he liked them, and he had to replenish them, and consider the saturation of the market, etc., but even if there was only one product a year, The income of 10,000 gold coins still surprised the king.

Again, this is just a small market!

If he takes over, what if the land of the extreme north can be revitalized? Although this is almost impossible in the eyes of the king, but Zhang Feng can make money so much, as long as he can pay taxes every year, he will laugh up.

As for whether Zhang Feng can still leave the gold coins after paying the tax, this is not something the king considers.

The king's thoughts raced.

But he didn't know that he tried his best to overestimate Zhang Feng, but he still underestimated it!

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the small market outside Hongye Steam No. 1. The income can't be calculated by "cheng", but "times"! The lowest thing, the profit is more than ten times!

At this time, Zhang Feng was still struggling on the surface.

"Your Majesty, after all, it costs a tax of 100,000 gold coins a year..."

Before the king could speak, the ministers and nobles spoke again.

"Marquis Zhang Feng,

Don't just look at the tax, you also have to look at the size of this place, the entire northern land! I heard that the extreme north is rich in minerals, if you find a gold mine and a silver mine at random, then you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life! "

"That's right, the gold mine, as long as you discover the gold mine, let alone yourself, it's your descendants, and your descendants' descendants, don't worry about it!"

"Hey, if I hadn't invested in a business before, and I didn't have enough funds, I would definitely win the land of the extreme north. This is a huge profit!"

"It's just..."

"..."

"..."

In another world, those purely natural resources, such as mineral veins, are found in the territory of the lord, that is the lord's, and even the king has no right to interfere.

Of course, if this happens, no one will be so stupid as to really ignore the king, at least to give some benefits, or dividends or something like that.

Otherwise, if the king is angered and he finds an excuse to withdraw your territory, then you have nothing to do.

Seeing these people pretending, Zhang Feng couldn't help laughing in his heart.

They all didn't want this trouble to fall on themselves, and even wanted to see Zhang Feng's jokes. How could they really think about Zhang Feng!

The land of the extreme north has been around for so many years, so they still don’t know what’s going on. Simply put, they can make money if they don’t collect taxes, and they may make money if they collect taxes, but they may also lose money!

Moreover, the probability of losing money is greater. After all, factors such as time, manpower, and material resources must be considered in the past.

If after a busy year, the profit does not exceed 15%, it is a blood loss!

Seeing that Zhang Feng was still silent, the king spoke again:

"Earl Zhang Feng, originally there was a tax to be paid for fief and title transactions. If you take over the Far North, I can make the decision to help you exempt from this tax!"

This tax is not small, as long as it is a territory, title, etc. purchased officially from Buck, there will be a 10% tax, without exception.

The land in the extreme north is a bit special, because the king did not directly sell it at a price, and the tax and fee were equal to zero. However, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Buck to have zero tax. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Buck, if the selling price is not marked for land transactions, the transaction tax will be calculated according to the annual tax. This is to prevent someone from taking advantage of loopholes.

For example, the tax that needs to be paid in the Far North is 100,000 a year, so the transaction fee is 10,000 gold coins!

If it was normal, these ministers would absolutely oppose it. After all, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount. If the treasury can increase the 10,000 gold coins, they will also have a lot of credit. But today, it's rare that no one disagrees.

After all, they could tell the difference between 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 gold coins per year.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm ignorant of compliments, but...well, I have one last question, I hope you can answer it..."

Zhang Feng's face showed entangled emotions from time to time, and he felt that he was tempted, but he still had some concerns.

"Marquis Zhang Feng, feel free to say it boldly!"

The king's eyes lit up, and he could clearly see Zhang Feng's hesitation.

"If, I mean if, I really manage and build the Far North to be very prosperous, even more prosperous than Buck City, what if you raise taxes? If someone takes a fancy to the Far North and wants to come How about a share of the pie?"

As soon as Zhang Feng said this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone has a look of wanting to laugh but holding back their laughter.

The king was glad that he was not drinking tea, otherwise he would have sprayed it out.

He just thought that Zhang Feng's previous confidence was gone, but judging from what he asked, it wasn't that he lacked confidence, it was that he was bursting with confidence!

At this time, a nobleman spoke:

"Marquis Zhang Feng, I think, are you thinking too far?"

"If, I mean if!"

Zhang Feng's face turned red, as if he had become angry from embarrassment when he was questioned.

"How about this, Marquis Zhang Feng, I promise you, as long as you take over the Far North Land, as long as the Buck Kingdom is alive, the Far North Land will always be your fiefdom, and you have absolute autonomy! No one, no one The means can be taken away! As for the tax issue... then one hundred thousand gold coins per year will never change!"

What the king said sounds good, but it all depends on Zhang Feng's ability to continue. If he goes bankrupt within a year, there will be nothing left to do.

Hearing the king's words, Zhang Feng was excited. This is what he wanted!

But excitement is excitement, and you still have to pretend.

"...Your Majesty, can I...can I go back and think about it?"

The king's face suddenly turned black.

What is his identity, he is the king! The master of the Baker Kingdom, he thought he had talked to Zhang Feng very well, but Zhang Feng kept pushing him away again and again, which really made him feel a little embarrassed.

Although the king was not easy to speak, the ministers didn't care so much. Immediately, several ministers spoke up and taught:

"Hey! Marquis Zhang Feng, what do you mean? His Majesty the King rewarded you with the land of the extreme north. This is his trust in you. How can you refuse!"

"That's right, we want it, but His Majesty the King won't give it!"

"Hurry up and sign the contract, it's not good for His Majesty the King to keep blowing the cold wind outside!"

"..."

Wang Guo was a little ashamed, he was very warm here, there was no cold wind, but in order to maintain his majesty, he kept a dark face and did not speak.

"I... ok, ok, I promise..."

Under the "helpless" situation, Zhang Feng finally agreed.

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

The king and the ministers all showed smiles, not to mention anything else, at least at this time, the treasury will have an extra tax of 100,000 gold coins!

The nobles also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhang Feng took over this hot potato, the king would not be able to find them, and finally he could choose fiefdoms with confidence.

As for those onlookers who were businessmen, who thought they understood the tricks, they all looked at Zhang Feng with sympathy.

One hundred thousand gold coins, if you say no, it will be gone!

And for Zhang Feng, it is definitely more than 100,000, because the 100,000 is tax. If Zhang Feng takes over the current Extreme North Land, it is absolutely impossible for him to make a profit, and it is impossible for him to search and run away!

If you want to make a profit, you have to really operate and build it, and you have to invest money in it, maybe hundreds of thousands, and you can't even splash it! Don't talk about profit, thank God for capital preservation!

Anyway, just one sentence - nothing to lose!

And those who don't know the way inside and have no contact with the land of the extreme north are confused.

what's going on? Don't even want a territory bigger than the duke? Do you have to give it to Zhang Feng? It's not a war area. There is no worry of war. No matter how poor you are, how poor can you be?

And Zhang Feng is still so reluctant! If they weren't unqualified, they would all wish to recommend themselves!

They looked at Zhang Feng with envy. From then on, Zhang Feng was a marquis comparable to a duke!

Naturally, Zhang Feng didn't know what these people were thinking. With a wry smile on his face, he signed the contract with the king slowly, and after finally pressing his handprint, everyone was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back and study the future construction..."

"No problem, Knight Abbe, you will personally escort Marquis Zhang Feng back."

"Yes."

As for why he was escorted, apart from the reason of accepting the extreme north, there is another point, that is, Zhang Feng gave the small steam car to the king.

Zhang Feng sensiblely took out the car keys and respectfully handed them over to the king.

"Your Majesty, this is the key to the steam car. The driver has learned it, so you can go on the road safely..."

"it is good!"

The king happily accepted it. Not only did he deal with the troubles in the extreme north today, but he also got this awesome steam car. Today is really his lucky day!

The others were a little disappointed when they saw Zhang Feng hand over the steam car to the king. They didn't expect this strange but cool car to end up in the hands of the king.

"I don't know why Marquis Zhang Feng gave the car to the king... I wanted to talk to him about the car... But no matter what, this time he was out of luck!"

"..."

Seeing the back of Zhang Feng holding a little beast girl and leaving lonely in the cold wind, everyone sighed a little.

The contrast between this and when he came was too great.

I hope to see Zhang Feng in the capital next year... No, it's better not to see you, you just got out in the extreme north!

...

...

"Zhang Feng, you..."

On the way, Abe was a little tangled, and thought about his words for a long time, but he really didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Zhang Feng shook his head, without any sad expression on his face, but this made Abei even more worried.

No more words along the way.

Back home, after Zhang Feng thanked him, Abei left with worried eyes.

After there were no outsiders in the house, Zhang Feng grinned, and the grin grew wider.

"Wow ha ha ha ha ~"

The cat-eared lady who was pouring hot tea for Zhang Feng was taken aback. If it wasn't for the quick-sighted help of the wolf-eared lady, her cup of tea might have spilled on Zhang Feng.

"Thank you...Master Zhang Feng, what's wrong with you?"

The cat-eared lady spoke cautiously.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm happy!"

Zhang Feng rubbed Mao Erniang's big ears, and Hu Erniang suddenly said:

"Huh~ It's okay, I was scared to death, I thought you really didn't want the land of the extreme north!"

"How is it possible, how could it not be possible for a place as big as the Far North!"

Zhang Feng laughed.

"But having said that, I didn't expect that today would be so smooth. I had prepared a lot of plans, but they were useless!"

"Hee hee, do you want to know why?"

The fox-eared lady spoke suddenly.

"Um?"

Zhang Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly seemed to think of something. Before the king wanted to sell the land of the extreme north, but when no one was willing to take it over, someone suddenly shouted, saying that Zhang Feng came from the land of the extreme north, able to handle.

Then everyone pointed their fingers at Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng was able to take it down so smoothly.

Zhang Feng wanted to find out who gave the divine assist, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Could it be...it's you!"

"whee!"

The fox-eared lady laughed, and then said suddenly:

"Your Majesty, I think Marquis Zhang Feng should be competent, after all, he came from the extreme north!"

The voice, tone and even speed are exactly the same as what Zhang Feng heard before!

"So it's really you!"

It was only then that Zhang Feng remembered that Hu Er Niang has the ability to disguise, not only can she disguise her appearance, but her voice is also a matter of course.

"You really helped me a lot!"

Zhang Feng happily hugged Fox Erniang and kissed her on the cheek.

The fox-eared lady, who was always carefree, suddenly blushed, and then buried her head in Zhang Feng's arms.

"Oh~"

"Cough cough, do you know that there is still a big gap between taking over actively and passively, not to mention anything else, the fixed tax of 100,000 gold coins per year can help us save countless gold coins! After all, Guanghongye The annual tax revenue of the city is more than 100,000!"

If it is a percentage, even if it is 1%, Zhang Feng may feel very distressed. After all, Zhang Feng has a lot of places to build, but a fixed 100,000 gold coins every year?

That's not drizzle!

And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the king's promise, the promise signed in the contract!
