Chapter 680: Golden idea

Chapter 680 Golden Ideas (please ask for votes)
The guards guarding the city are different from the tax collectors in the harbor. Tax collectors are dealing with strange sea travelers, and their eyes are all businessmen or tourists from other places. Taking advantage of the locals, they often bully the market, block ships, fines and other things, and play hooligans.
Haike people are far from home and cheap, they have no foundation and no friends in the field, so they can't beat the overbearing tax collectors and hooligans. Even if they are bullied, they can only swallow their anger and spend money to buy peace.
Otherwise, it would be trivial to suffer some troubles. Maybe he was arbitrarily planted for a crime, caught in prison, and lost his life if he didn't understand.
And the city guards usually deal with the residents outside the city, and they are all local,
Even if you don’t know the people who come in, you have to be familiar with each other, and you might be able to become relatives even around the corner.
So many times, although their attitude is not good, they have to pay attention to the impact.
After all, they all live in this big ass. Everyone bows their heads without raising their heads. Everyone asks for others.
Even if you encounter foreigners, if you blatantly make things difficult for them, the villagers around here will watch them, and they will not have a good reputation.
The officer looking at the gate of the city is different from the tax collector in front of him. The people who deal with the tax collectors are all low-level laborers. His kind of petty officials can't get in front of people with identities. Naturally, his vision is limited.
This military officer was sent to guard the city gate and directly collect the city tax. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary small person. Anyone who directly deals with the collection of fees and taxes is fatal.
His eyes were naturally different. He felt that Lorraine and the others would not be ordinary people, but rather like the children of the noble family who came out to play. Therefore, when in doubt, his attitude was very polite.
Lorraine looked at the officer and couldn't help feeling very good. After all, the other party did not bully. Although he didn't always greet Lorraine with a smile, his attitude was okay, and he kept talking to Lorraine with a smile.
Lorraine also smiled at the moment, and said: "Let's talk about it, if it is really a problem, maybe we can't solve it."
The officer also smiled, spreading his hands, and said: "If it's really like that, then we can't do anything about it. We have to let you pay to enter the city."
Lorraine also laughed loudly at the moment, then nodded, and said: "Okay, fair and reasonable, ok, just say it."
Although the conditions put forward by the officer hadn't changed in essence, he also gave some leeway relatively speaking. This was polite to change the law. In the end, whether it was okay or not, it was at least discussed.
This is also acceptable. Even when he paid for it, he couldn't say that he was arrogant, but he said that his strategy was not good enough, and he could only sigh that he was unlucky.
Lorraine secretly said: This officer is a very intelligent person.
The officer said: "It's like this, our original goalkeeper Wesson will retire today. I think you also know..."
As he said, he showed a stern look on his face, then squeezed his eyes, revealing an expression of "everyone knows", and said vaguely: "Let's do this, we still make some money. Hahaha..."
"Of course," the officer added, "this is just a little money."
Lorraine knew what he meant. He couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, but in his heart he cursed secretly: these splattered puppies, while drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries, made a clever reputation on the other. , Force self-levying taxes. I'm full of my own pockets, slapped on both sides, and I've got all the money I can. Can I still make money?
The officer rubbed his hands and laughed twice, and then continued: "So, everyone thought about giving him a gift to commemorate the glorious retirement of Mr. Wesson, but I have never thought of a good gift. I looked at it. This time is about to come. We have nothing to take out yet. I am very embarrassed. I don't know if you have any good solutions?"
Lorraine looked at him and said in his heart: Grandma's, isn't this grandson cheating? I know if your Wesson grows like a pig or a dog, likes to eat shit, or like to drink urine? With this kind of problem, it is obvious that I want to pit the money in my uncle's pocket~
Come up with an idea, you don't like it. Come up with an idea, you don't like it. At that time, you can justifiably ask the uncle to pay me.
But he still thought for a while, and said, "If your city gate official likes to drink, how about a few bottles of good wine?"
The officer smiled bitterly and said, "He does like drinking, but can we lack this in our business? He has basically drunk the good wine here."
Lorraine thought about it again, and said, "Then send the money. It's so clean."
The officer smiled bitterly at the moment, and said, "We don’t lack money in this business, but we don’t know how much we should give. If we don’t give it too much, he doesn’t like it, but it’s too much...every month. The money still has to live."
Lorraine hesitated and said, "Then give me a beautiful girl..."
The officer said categorically, "Don't even think about it, he is a wife who is afraid of his wife. Madam coughs and can scare him to pee on his pants."
The guards nearby all snickered.
Lorraine sighed immediately and said: "Then please killer, and slaughter his mother-in-law's house. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was happy in his heart.
That's how the old heroes of the previous generation did this, and that's why they called on the peerless genius doctor. Seeing a doctor for my daughter. So it is traditional to do so. "
When the officer heard this, he was shocked with dementia. After a while, he murmured, "This trick is really ruthless. It's actually a brilliant trick. I didn't see it, you. His heart is really vicious enough, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with such a bad black water and yellow pus trick. Fortunately, I didn't do it right with you."
He looked at Lorraine with lingering fears, and saw that Lorraine's face didn't matter, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether he was talking about it for fun or was serious.
However, he is already certain that it is by no means ordinary people who can come up with this idea. I believe that Lorraine and his party are all aristocrats.
He immediately settled down, then changed his tone, and said, "But...but, we are just giving a gift for retirement. This is not a big deal. Does it need to kill and set fire?
And although we also take small bribes and live a life, we do not do anything that violates the criminal law. "
After speaking, he shook his head again and again, and then sighed again, saying, "Oh, it's a good plan, but this retirement gift is too heavy, we can't afford it. If we go back and do something else, maybe It can be used."
After finishing speaking, he sighed with regret. Obviously, this officer has also been tortured, and hopes that one day someone can give himself such a gift.
Lorraine looked at him, and then said: "You said it yourself. This is a good plan. We have fulfilled your requirements. Can we let us go now?"
The officer immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, no. I don't deny that your strategy is good, but it is really too difficult to implement. Isn't it the same as nothing?"
Lorraine said: "Then I don't care, I just want to make plans, if you don't implement it, that's your business."
Having said that, he was about to break through the barriers.
The officer laughed at once, stretched out his hand to hold Lorraine, and said, "Brother, uh, big brother, big brother. You see, we are all rough people with swords and guns, and we don't understand the world. You Don't laugh.
And you have just thought of several strategies in just a while. This mind turns much faster than us people. You will be affected, and help us think of a good way to not only spend a lot of money, but also satisfy the old man. Seeing you come here, I will not be troubled for you, so I will help us.
After all, he did it all his life. There is hard work without credit? It’s good to leave that old man one last thought~ In this regard, someone from a big family like you is more knowledgeable than us. "
As a modern person, Lorraine has always treated people equally. These ideas have penetrated into the bone marrow.
When most people hear it, they will be infected and affected unconsciously.
The officer was no exception. Even though he was accustomed to domineering in the countryside, at this time, he regarded Lorraine as an equal and credible acquaintance.
Therefore, he was indifferent. When it came to later, his voice was extremely eager. Moreover, even though Lorraine was hard-hearted, after listening to it, he couldn't help but feel soft.
Lorraine sighed immediately and said, "Are you rich?"
The officer was taken aback.
Lorraine said: "My methods are all golden ideas. They have always been extremely valuable. I didn't collect one hundred and eighty thousand dollars."
"One hundred and eighty thousand..." The officer immediately took a breath. Looking at Lorraine, he secretly said: This guy can really blow.
But looking at Lorraine's appearance in his chest, when he moved in his heart, he was about to open his mouth.
Lorraine stretched out his hand to stop him, and then continued: "However, today I will make an exception for your face. Only a silver coin."
Talking, stretched out his hand.
The officer hesitated for a while, then took out a silver coin from his pocket with a wry smile, shook his head and sighed, "I'm also making an exception. You know, before, we just collected money and never produced a coin. Yes. , You are the first one to come in not only without paying, but also collecting money."
Lorraine took the money, and then looked at the sun carefully. When he saw that the silver coin was not well made, it looked like it was privately cast, and he pouted and said: "Nonsense, you don't need to spend any money to see a doctor. Money? This makes sense."
The officer stagnated, but now he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Lorraine stuffed the money into his pocket, and then said: "This method is actually very simple. It's just that you didn't notice it. I gave you this idea, and you don't even want you to spend a penny. You don't need to pay out. money."
The officer's eyes widened immediately. Said: "There is such a good thing? Tell me quickly."
Regardless of where, this Shangguan’s retirement birthday marriage, even the marriage of the son, the adulthood of the daughter, and the full moon of the mother-in-law’s dog are all great opportunities for the subordinates to give money and present their loyalty. Everyone is prepared to be promoted in the future. Give a big gift, or offer a thick red envelope.
Anyway, it's a legitimate custom to do things with rituals, and no one can fault it.
If the courtesy is poor, the boss will not be pleasing to the eye, let alone getting promoted and making a fortune, maybe you have to wear small shoes when you turn around and get laid off.
Therefore, as soon as Lorraine's words came out, the officer was very unbelievable right now.
Lorraine looked at it and it was no surprise, but he paused, and then continued: "Aren't your city gate officials going to retire?
Just let him stand on the last post again, with a perfect full stop, this is not the end. "
The officer was taken aback and thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand, he muttered: "Standing guard? He used to stand guard every day. This is considered a generous gift? Is this the good idea you said?
In this way, your good ideas that are worth a hundred and eighty thousand will not be easy to sell, and they don’t seem to be very..."
He raised his head and saw the weird smile on Lorraine's face. He was taken aback and uttered the last word: "...like..."
At this time, he faintly seemed to understand a little bit, but he always felt as if a layer of mist was blocking his eyes. Can't help thinking hard: stand on the last post again, what is the mystery?
Leo listened to it for a long time, and he already understood what was going on. Seeing the bewilderment on the officer's face, he stomped his feet and sighed for a long time: "You rascals are really a bunch of pig brains. You can be a city gate official for a lifetime by looking at you.
Isn’t that obvious yet? You collected one day's money, no matter how much, you pretended not to know, put it in his bag, isn't it? This gift is not only meaningful and valuable.
What a fool. Isn't it, Xiao Bai? "
Xiaobai nodded next to him, and then looked at the officer contemptuously, slapped his nose heavily, and curled his big mouth to show his disdain~
When the officer heard it, he suddenly realized.
He stepped back half a step, then bowed deeply to Lorraine, and said, "Your Excellency, this is a really good idea. I admire it. Everyone, please, welcome to our city."
Lorraine laughed at once, then leaned slightly, which was regarded as a return, then turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Next to Vera hurriedly called Leo, and then watched him and Xiaobai follow, and then led them to follow Lorraine and walk towards the city.
Leo walked through the city gate, turned his head and found that the officer was no longer there. He smiled and took out a purse from his pocket, then emptied it, and then threw the purse in a side drain. .
The deerskin purse fell into the ditch, turned over in the sewage, and gradually sank. After the last few bubbles gurgled out, everything was calm again.
Leo counted the coins in his hand, and then added five with Vera and Xiao Bai, and they divided them up happily.
Lorraine came to the city, and saw that the city was also in depression.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, and there are fewer vehicles. The faces of the people are all hungry, and they are a little gloomy, and they are also listless when they walk. There is no such optimistic spirit of the people of Naian at all. It seems that life is a torment for them.
There are closed doors on both sides of the street, and shops with wide open doors are rarely seen.
Not to mention horse-drawn carriage transportation, inns and pubs, even the service and entertainment industry, which is known as the star pillar industry of the tertiary industry, seems to be left out in the lobby.
Lorraine went around the city several times, only then found an inn that was not bad enough. Although the conditions were not good enough, it was at least clean.
Everyone rested there for a whole night, washing away the fatigue of the long-distance sea waves. I waited until I had enough rest before I set off again.
Since several people were all spoiled and comfortable, Lorraine and the others didn't look like walking along these hundreds of miles.
Lorraine originally thought about hiring a car in the city for transportation, but after thinking about it, he finally bought one by himself.
For such a long journey, hiring someone for a car and waiting to get down is not much different from buying a car.
What's more, they are doing this kind of big business of murder, arson, subversion, spying, and it is extremely inconvenient once someone is around.
But after Lorraine bought the carts and horses, he found that he had to pay a large amount of tax in the exchange before this could be done. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his own car to move on the mainland.
That large amount of taxes, even when Lord Lorraine, who is now wealthy, has to feel a pain when he pays out.
Lorraine realized that for the expedition, the demons had collected extremely high taxes from the people, and the people who had been overwhelmed by these heavy taxes were almost out of breath and could only struggle to survive.
As a result, all businesses are now depressed, and the common people would rather do nothing because they cannot afford the high taxes and fees, and most of the shops are closed.
Lorraine walked around the city and could hear the people's faint complaints about high taxes.
But the more this situation, the more happy Lorraine ~EbookFREE.me~ the heavier the Mozu tax, the more sad the common people, of course, the more complaints and dissatisfaction with them.
The three of them and Xiaobai squeezed on the broken car that they bought, and then drove the old horse. When they were out of the city, they paid another exit tax, and then they walked along a long and disrepaired highway. , Step by step, walked towards the shining imperial city Akadrin leisurely.
Acadrin. There are thousands of Semitic warriors and warriors, as well as cunning and wise men. There are millions of people.
Since the War of the Holy See a thousand years ago, generations of popes of the Holy See of Light have longed for the land that they want to set foot on all the time~
