Chapter 2710: Die back

I was idle, I wandered to the desk exclusively for the regent and took a look.
The old prince raised his eyes, and then continued to criticize.
About one-third of the review, he suddenly picked up the document in hand and stretched out his hand.
I didn't understand the intention of his move, and looked at him blankly.
"Here, take a look."
"I'm no longer the prime minister..."
"No one stipulates that you must be a prime minister to see," the old duke retorted.
"I'm not from Dasai City either..."
The old prince frowned: "Is this important?"
"I am even your enemy..."
"Do you want to watch or not?"
"Look......"
Replied in a low voice, I took the document, flattened it, and read it carefully.
This is a statistical table, the statistical content is the income and expenditure of Dasay City last month and the total amount of various taxes.
Holding the statistics table and looking left and right, I put it back embarrassingly: "Sorry, I don't understand..."
"You don't need to look at the process, just look at the results," the old duke said, and at the same time, he handed over another statistical table, which was from last month.
After comparing the results, I found that the total tax revenue for the two months was slightly lowered, so I murmured, "Did it fall?"
"Yes, it's lowered." The old Duke put down his pen, leaned his head back on the chair, took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and said in a sad tone: "I raised the tax rate, but the tax did not increase but dropped."
"Someone evaded taxes?" I asked tentatively.
"This is still a small problem," the old duke said: "There are more serious ones."
I looked serious and asked, "What is it?"
"Many people have suspended the use of currency and have adopted bartering transactions."
"Bargaining for things?" I was a little surprised: "What a primitive method, if it's really like this, it's a step backwards in the times!"
"It's the regression of the times" the old duke sighed: "I remember that the last bartering incident recorded in historical documents still happened... Well, anyway, many hundred million years ago, today's Dasai City , Has the style of that time!"
His tone was full of grief and anger.
"Have you thought about the reason?" I asked suddenly.
The old prince looked at me sadly, and said quietly, "What are you going to say?"
"What I want to say is that the main reason why there is a downward trend in taxes and the people will suspend the use of currency and adopt bartering transactions is probably due to the problem of rising tax rates year by year."
"You mean, the tax rate is too high?"
"It must be inseparable from this aspect" I said: "Whether you are now the regent, or your former old duke status, how many times did you really leave the capital and appreciate the sentiments of the people?"
I stared at the old prince with scorching eyes and observed his expression. I found that his expression was a little stiff.
tension?
I smiled and continued: "Let me take the liberty to guess, once...not even?"
The old prince nodded stiffly.
"Yes," I said: "I haven't had an experience of seeing people's feelings. Then how can you tell the difference in life between people in other towns and those in the capital?"
"Let’s tell you, I have experienced living in other towns. There are not so many luxury stores. There are even fewer hotels and restaurants. Oh, yes, there are more barbecue restaurants than in the capital, mainly because of food. The number of livestock is huge and it is easy to feed. People living in these towns need a stable life, not a prosperous and changeable life like the capital city. Your sudden increase of the national tax rate policy may be for the capital city. , It will not have much effect. After all, there is money, but for some other towns, it is as painful as cutting meat and skinning. It is easy to make some money, and it will be turned in as a tax. Even a copper coin is left in the hand. No less...hehe, would you still be willing to spend money instead of you?"
"The construction of Dasai City requires funds, medical care requires funds, education requires funds, and many aspects require funds. If the tax rate is not raised, it will not be enough to support the normal operation of these industries... Hey, let me tell you What do these do?"
After the excitement, the old prince thumped his head with regret.
"Since you have already said it, you might as well answer my question, the old duke...no, Lord Regent, how did your Majesty the Orc King solve the same problem?"
Hearing the words'His Majesty the Orc King', the old duke trembles and ponders for a moment, saying: "At that time, he was at most balanced. Once disasters such as disasters occur, the country will soon fall into the abyss !"
When it's over, the old duke has completely fallen into an endless loop where the country will end if the tax rate is not raised.
I have known it for a long time, and I probably understand the old man’s stubbornness. Since he is stubborn, why should I bother with Baja to persuade him?
We are also enemies anyway.
I sneered three times in my heart and stopped talking.
Silently put the statistics sheet on the desk, I sat there again for a while, then got up and left.
This time, I went straight out of the palace and went straight to a nearby hotel.
Due to the increase in tax rates, the price of Dasay City apartments has also risen.
The surrounding towns where I lived before were okay, the increase was not big, and I could hardly feel it, but when I arrived in the capital, I finally realized the terrible tax rate increase.
The medium-sized suite with two silver coins for one night rose to ten silver coins in an instant.
It has risen five times!
I said, the tax rate increase rate should be less than five times, right, is your increase a bit too exaggerated?
With this attitude, I changed more than a dozen hotels, only to realize that the prices of medium suites in more than a dozen hotels were surprisingly consistent.
If it weren't for the distances between these hotels, I would even suspect that they united to cheat me.
Forget it, ten silver coins are ten, anyway, it is much more comfortable than the inferior suite with ten copper coins.
As for the first-class suites with two gold coins, I would like to thank Bumin anyway. Firstly, the comfort is not worth the price. Secondly, the service is poor, and the shower doesn't even have hot water.
Lying on the fairly soft animal skin, I started to think about it.
First of all, I thought of the sparkling snot bubble of the orc queen, then of the orc king who was drunk and expressing his ambitions, then the sweet and sweet couple of Cecil and Orange Jiemei, and finally the old duke who was tired into a dog.
Especially thinking of the old duke's melancholy old face, I just want to laugh.
There is a saying: Without diamonds, don't buy porcelain.
The old duke is a good man in war, but the government management is more than one way behind, and it is simply a silly chess basket.
Obviously, he didn't know the situation, but he still wanted to lay the bed with the toad-to support it.
Hold on, hold on, I’m so melancholy today, I may be depressed anytime, after your old man is depressed, I want to abdicate and return the power to the Orc King again, hum, I’m afraid it’s up to you.
