Seventy percent!

Tang En's face was amazed: "Isn't it that one gold coin will take away seventy silver coins?" ”

Fiona nodded: "This tax rate is twenty percent higher than the standard tax rate set by the Empire, so the inhabitants of Ellington are very poor. ”

“……”

Don was speechless, is fifty percent a little?

It seems that he still knows too little about this world, after all, it was just a game at the beginning, but now it is a real world.

"There are some other messy things, but they can be put to the back and solved slowly, and the most important thing now is this matter."

Tang En was stunned: "Huh? ”

"Tax rate, my lord!"

Fiona was stunned: "As a lord, of course, after taking office, you must promulgate a new tax law in the territory, this is the lord's right, you can continue to maintain Hogg's tax rate, the residents of Ellington are used to it, I believe they will not have any opinions, you can also announce a tax cut, so that they will support you more and be more loyal, it all depends on your own choice!" ”

Tang En scratched his head, and it was a wonderful feeling that a single sentence would decide the lives of thousands of residents.

"That'...... Let's cut taxes, seventy percent is too high, I think...... One achievement is okay, right? ”

In his previous life, Don had a headache with all kinds of inexplicable taxes, and knew how much people hated taxes, so he couldn't put his mind to collect heavy taxes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Fiona's eyes widened directly: "Lord Lord, aren't you joking with me?" ”

"Of course not...... What's wrong? ”

Seeing Fiona's reaction, Don also knew that he might have said something wrong, and his face immediately turned red.

"You can tell me if you say something wrong!"

After all, he didn't study economics and didn't know much about it, and it was up to Fiona to do so.

Fiona's face was entangled, if she hadn't known that Don was strong, she would really want to pick on her son and leave at this moment.

"One percent tax rate...... It's a shame for what you said! ”

Fiona looked like she hated that iron could not become steel: "If it's just a tax rate of one percent, do you want to sit down as a lord?" ”

"Does this make any difference?"

"Yes! Of course! And it's important! ”

Fiona said decisively: "As a lord, you want to raise soldiers, right?" And the maintenance of all kinds of public facilities here in Ellington has to be paid for from the lord's treasury, and you can get their support if you cut your taxes, but if you want to repair the square, repair the roads, add armor to the soldiers, etc., do you expect them to understand you and give you generous donations? ”

Don scratched his head, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"That's right, when the policy is in their favor, people will be grateful to Dade, but if you want to take the money in their hands again, it's not that simple, they will hate you, and in the blink of an eye they will forget that it is because of you, they will get more income."

"So, if you want to maintain your rule, taxes are essential, and this is also your most important income, and you must not decide arbitrarily!"

Don humbly asked: "Then what do you say I should do?" ”

"Since the lord is more inclined to reduce taxes, then in my opinion, you can reduce the tax by half first."

"Half percent? Too little, right? ”

"Don't feel half-hearted."

Fiona glared at Donne: "If Ellington develops well next, this half of the tax is probably worth tens of thousands of gold coins - tens of thousands of gold coins, you will be gone without a word!" ”

Speaking of which, Fiona feels that half of the tax cut is a bit much.

"This ...... Well......"

"And if you cut taxes, you can't do it in one step!"

Now that the tax cut has been decided, Fiona simply continued: "If you reduce the tax burden once, they will only thank you once, and it will not be so easy to raise it again in the future, so this should be a long-term process, and you must leave yourself room to turn around." ”

"If Ellington has a crisis, there is room for another tax cut to gain the support of residents."

"Taxation is a means of maintaining domination and the economy, and it must not be too arbitrary."

Listening to Fiona, Don was stunned.

This kind of thinking of hers is extremely close to the economic theory on the earth, who said that people from other worlds have low IQs? Stand up, I promise not to kill him!

Seeing Donne's sluggish look, Fiona lifted her forehead and suddenly said, "I've decided!" ”

"What?"

"In order to prevent Ellington from being spoiled by you, and to maintain the peace of Ellington, I, Fiona Golden Rose, will be Ellington's treasurer from today onwards!"

If Don is allowed to fiddle with Ellington at will, I'm afraid Ellington will be played bad by Donn soon, and he can pat his ass and leave, but what about Fiona? Where can she go? Except for here, she is already homeless.

To put it more exaggeratedly, this is not her home either.

…… Maybe this will become her home in the future?

Fiona didn't want her future home to be a mess, and in her excitement, she was so excited that she suddenly grabbed Donn's hands and said with a solemn face: "My lord, although my words may make you unhappy, I hope you can seriously consider it. ”

"-hmm!?"

Suddenly Fiona stopped her hand, and Don was stunned.

"I feel like it's going to be very bad for you to manage the finances, so trust me and leave the finances to me!"

"This ......"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted me to help you? Now that I've found what I can do, wouldn't you, my lord? ”

Fiona leaned forward, and Don was suffocated by the oncoming oppression.

What a majestic heart......

Tang En let go of his hand casually: "No, I don't have a problem with the financial officer's affairs, I just want to say that I see your fate from your hands." ”

Fiona was stunned: "What do you see?" ”

Don glanced in front of Fiona and said solemnly, "I see that you must have a great omen!" ”

"Huh!?"

Fiona's face turned pale: "Your lord, you must help me!" ”

"Poof......

Don laughed very exaggeratedly: "I'm kidding you, do you really believe it?" ”

“…… It's true? ”

"Really!"

"Lord Lord, you're really—you're so bad......"

Fiona blushed and looked a little coquettish.

Hey? Is it shy? No, it must be dazzling......

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and Brian's rough voice was heard shouting, "Big brother! Big brother, what are you doing? The cook said that the meal was ready, but I remember that you said that the wine was full, why didn't you come...... Hey? ”

After bryan finished shouting, he found that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, looked at Don and then at Fiona, and suddenly said, "Big brother, I didn't disturb you, did I?" ”

"No—"

Before Don could finish speaking, Brian laughed and said, "-I know it's definitely not, let's go, big brother, let's have a few drinks today, I haven't drunk in a while, those damn bandits don't give me a drink at all!" ”

This guy!

Don smiled and didn't remember anything else, just remembering that he had promised that the wine was full.

Should I say that he is really an alcoholic dwarf?

Do you want to get the second pot head or something out and let them try the Chinese liquor culture?

Tang Enmo rubbed his chin thoughtfully, but when he thought about the current grain production, the thought was abandoned again.

Brian grinned at Don in a big way, anxious to get a drink.

"Fiona, come along?"

"Your lord, you go first, I'm going to sort these things out and I'll go later."

"Let's go, let's go, big brother...... Speaking of which, big brother, you humans all look the same, I can't tell the ...... in the house Uh-uh, Fiosa, right? ”

Brian seemed to remember correctly, and continued to shout: "I can't see which one is more beautiful, Fiosa or today's Elna, but I'll tell you, big brother, I still think that Elna is more of my appetite, that strength, tsk, I guess even the king of the hill in my hometown can't compare to her, if she gives birth to a child, she must be very powerful!" ”

Don looked helpless: "That's Fiona and Elsa......"

"Oh, that's my mistake, big brother, I think if you're looking for a wife, you should be looking for Elsa!"

Can you lower your damn loud voice?

Fiona has heard it all......

Don could already guess what Fiona's expression would be, and it was all because of the chattering dwarf beside him!

For the sake of the light of communism, Donn gritted his teeth and stared at Brian's head, if he didn't squeeze out the last trace of his surplus value, he would be sorry for his guilty ear!

After Don and Brian left, Fiona let out a long sigh of relief, the sudden courage that had just disappeared in an instant, and her tense body suddenly relaxed, slumping on the couch.

"Lord Lord......"

Fiona muttered, looking at her hands, which seemed to have Donn's body temperature still on them.

It was only then that she realized how bold she had just been, and her face was faintly red.

After all, Lord Don is an extremely powerful magician, and he is just a humble and down-and-out nobleman, so how can he transcend his status?

To be able to talk to him in this way, to do him some favors, is already to be favored by the gods.

Fiona, Fiona, calm down, take care of his territory, and make Ellington richer and more prosperous, which is what he expects you to perform the most.

Even if you do have any ideas, it's never too late to think about them when the time comes.

Fiona perked up and once again had a confident smile on her face.
