This lord is very scientific.

Earning so much in a month, Heishan has accumulated a terrifying wealth for Lin Ke in the past two years.

He even spent one million to buy a space ring to store these huge amounts of gold coins.

"But you have made so much money, why are you only at level 10 [Merchant]? Isn't your core trait 'wealth'?"

Heishan helps Lin Ke earn so much every month, but in the end he is only at that level?

"Master, I am helping you make money, and the ideas are not mine, so I receive less feedback." Heishan looked very satisfied: "Master, don't think it's slow, after all, not everyone is like you, as dazzling as the stars in the sky."

In Heishan's view, it is great to be promoted one or two levels, after all, only Lin Ke can lead people to promotion like this.

Lin Ke gave some instructions about the store, especially about newspapers.

"Regarding newspapers, have you found them? Those professional [authors], [writers] and the like."

Having a certain foundation is better than having no foundation, otherwise he will be very tired to lead editors and reporters by himself.

"Master, those who can work as [authors] are all nobles, and it is very difficult to recruit them..." Heishan said, then changed his tone and smiled: "But I heard that Lin Ke was recruiting people, and I still recruited a down-and-out noble, who is a second-level [author] and a fifth-level [painter]."

"Oh? Not bad." Lin Ke nodded slightly: "When will they get here?"

"They will arrive in two months." Heishan estimated: "They were recruited through the bulletin board in the store."

"Okay." Lin Ke said: "Regarding 'Lin Ke's store', if there is enough funds, it needs to be split into three stores, and the other is the material problem of building the city..."

He began to explain it carefully to Heishan.

...

In the month of germination, all things revive.

Azan suddenly announced that all tax collection models would be reformed.

In the past, the lords of farms levied taxes very arbitrarily, and when the harvest was good, the lords could take as much as they wanted.

Some territories also have landing taxes, air taxes, etc., which are particularly unfriendly to farmers and merchants.

For example, the landing tax means that when the merchants pass through the territory, anything that falls to the ground belongs to the lord, and the lord can claim it according to his mood.

And the air tax, also known as the wind tax, means that anyone who breathes in the territory is obliged to pay taxes. For example, the amount of air a merchant breathes from entering here to leaving is the amount of tax he has to pay...

In short, there are countless such strange tax laws!

And Lin Ke directly promulgated a new tax law in the name of Viscount Garose of Azann and Count Lin Ke.

That is the fourteen taxes.

Any intelligent life in the territory of Azann and in the Lava Swamp, whether it is human or other races, must pay taxes as long as it produces and consumes.

But the tax rate is not casually said, but must be unified.

That is to collect four tenths.

If you plow the field and produce 100 kilograms of grain, you have to pay 40 kilograms of taxes!

If in the previous life, Lin Ke dared to do this kind of thing, he would step down in minutes.

However, now, Lin Ke is directly called "the kind fool lord".

This is the era of lords!

How can a normal farmer be qualified to dispose of the grain produced by himself? It's good enough that it's not all confiscated.

You have to know that the people are also one of the lord's properties.

The lord's point of view is very reasonable, and even the people think it is reasonable: As my property, what's wrong with me taking some grain from you? If you make me unhappy, I will take you too, your parents, and kill all your brothers and sisters to help cheer me up.

It's cruel, but very real.

The people of some territories have been taught since childhood that the lord is everything to them.

So, when the news of Lin Ke's forced implementation of the fourteen-tax system was released, some nobles who often paid attention to Azaan began to discuss it.

Lin Ke Azaan, a rising star in the kingdom who has become famous in the past two years, is known for his intelligence, kindness and fearlessness. He is a noble with the glory of ancient nobles.

But now in the eyes of some nobles, perhaps "stupid" should be added before kindness.

Stupid kindness!

Lord, lord of the territory, everything in the territory belongs to the lord!

What's the point of deceiving yourself and making a set of tax laws like this?

Especially when Lin Ke announced that the first law of his newly built city "Dahuang City" was "private property is sacred and inviolable", the nobles sneered.

Private property? Sacred and inviolable?

Funny!

"That smart child may have lost his brain in these two years of sleep."

This is a comment made by an independent noble in the abyss, and he has also won the support of many nobles.

Some nobles laughed, and some lords also laughed.

An old and old-fashioned legendary professional expressed regret. He is also one of the grand dukes of Gula:

"The earl is a child after all. Children are always kind and merciful, but when he finds that the storehouse of his castle is empty, he may change his mind."

"That's right, the lord's wealth is not the private wealth of those low-class people. It is unreasonable." Some sarcastic noble ladies also laughed unscrupulously at some banquets.

Of course, there are different voices.

For example, the upstart marquis in the south, the extremely powerful Lord Giant Sword, expressed a different opinion in the Abyss.

"You can't understand the intelligence of Link Azan. A large part of the wisdom in my book "The Great Sword Military Law" comes from Link. I think I wrote it in the book."

The voice of the Great Sword Earl... No, the Great Sword Marquis was sonorous and powerful. As a powerful noble with a territory and a private plane, his voice was more convincing than those ordinary small nobles and ladies.

Especially the "Great Sword Military Law". The Great Sword Earl successfully changed his job to the "Grand Marshal" profession with the feedback obtained from this book, which was extremely powerful.

Unexpectedly, this book came from the Earl of Link!

Most of these nobles who spoke out had not read the new work of the Great Sword Marquis, so they didn't know this at all.

"Anyone who has read it knows how smart Mr. Link is. He must have a deep meaning for doing that." The famous [Merchant] Earl Akli also spoke out in support of the Great Sword.

So the nobles of the entire Gula Kingdom began to quarrel over this matter.

But, that's the nobles.

The civilians, ordinary people and some professionals who were lucky enough to hear Lin Ke's decree were boiling with excitement.

Fourteen taxes!

Only 40% of the tax is collected for every 10%!

And...

And private property is sacred and inviolable!

Private property.

Private...

How desirable it is!

In this year, in the cities of various territories, the store called "Lin Ke's Store" was split into three, one of which was called "Notice Board".

Many things issued by local lords and strange stories in the kingdom were announced here.

Lords from all over the country heard that this was the industry of Lin Ke and Princess Rika, and they were also happy to cooperate.

So, many people like to come here at 7 o'clock every afternoon to read it, and if they don't understand it, they listen to others.

Lin Ke's Great Wasteland City Laws were announced here as strange stories.

And the civilians naturally developed a yearning for this legendary Great Wasteland City where only fourteen taxes are paid.
