Chapter 1431 Tianhan City
"The Lord of Hanbei Province tripled the tax revenue. Is it equally in line with the rules?" Zhou Fan asked in a deep voice with a jade talisman emitting light.
Qian Feifei's voice came from the jade talisman, "Sir, Lord Hanbei really has the power to modify taxes."
The Lord of Yidao has great power. He would conscription if he likes to recruit soldiers. If he likes to increase taxes, he would increase taxes. As long as there is no big trouble under his jurisdiction, the government generally would not interfere with the Lord of Yidao.
"Have the other three states also increased their taxes?" Zhou Fan asked again.
If the three prefectures and one prefecture in Hanbei Province are only increased in the taxes of the Hei Shui Protectorate...
"From the documents issued, taxes in the other three states have also tripled," Qian Feifei said.
Zhou Fan frowned slightly. The power of the other three states and four envoys was not as powerful as his archon, but there were many factions. Hua Feihua wanted the Three State Yiluan Si Mansion to obey and cooperate with him in acting, so it was not so easy.
Is it true that taxes in the other three states have also tripled?
"Sir, the reason for the tax increase of Hanbei Province is that the cold winter is coming, and I am worried that the disaster relief will not be timely, so I prepare funds in advance. If the disaster in that area is serious, then use this fund to rescue. After the cold winter, the extra tax will be returned to the three prefectures and one prefecture..." Qian Feifei knew what Zhou Fan was wondering, so he explained.
Zhou Fan then realized that his face was slightly cold. It was no wonder that Hua Feihua's reason for levying tax was justified and he agreed to return the tax. Of course, the other three states would not have any objections.
But the Hei Shui Protectorate is much poorer than the Three Prefectures. If he really imposes taxes according to the idea of the Hanbei Province, it will definitely make people feel resentful. And even if the money is paid, Hua Feihua will probably seek various excuses not to return it to the Protectorate.
Of course, he now has mastered the fruit tree of human heads, and he can afford this money even if he doesn't charge it, but he doesn't spend it like this.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Qian Feifei's words interrupted Zhou Fan's thoughts. He thought for a while and said, "Reply to the Lord Hanbei Province that the Hei Shui Protectorate is too poor to hand over so much taxes."
"In this way, the Lord Hanbei Province will definitely instruct our Protectorate and order us to find ways to complete the tax collection." Qian Feifei said helplessly.
"If they reply like this, then we should not be tougher and say that we will work hard to complete the idea." Zhou Fan sneered.
"Sir, do you really need to increase taxes?" Qian Feifei exclaimed: "Sir, you must not. If this is the case, there will be a big mess."
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course there will be no additional taxes."
Increasing taxes will only make the people below rebel against him, and there is no benefit.
"That lord means..." Qian Feifei said in confusion.
"Just let you argue with the Lord Hanbei Dao Mansion." Zhou Fan said.
"But delay is not a long-term solution after all. What should I do if it expires?" Qian Feifei said for a moment.
"Then let's wait until it expires." Zhou Fan said slowly without any haste.
After interrupting the communication with Qian Feifei, Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this was still a chain of plans. He first robbed their mines and then added taxes.
As a great captain, if he didn't want the Hei Shui Captain's Mansion to survive the cold winter, he would have to pay for it himself.
If he didn't pay the money and the Hei Shui Protectorate had a big problem in this cold winter, he would be to blame.
Maybe there is a follow-up to this chain of schemes.
Zhou Fan thought for a while, and then he sent another message to the Great Protectorate, and then disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
...
...
Tianhan City is the prefecture of Dong Seokcho and the most prosperous place in Dong Seokcho.
Yiluansi Mansion in Dongxuezhou is located in Tianhan City. Yan Gao, the envoy of Dongxuezhou, who is sitting in his room, is very energetic recently because he is also from the Wild Fox Sect, as he is the new Hanbei Main Lord Hua Feihua.
He boarded the big ship of the Flower Lord. Even if he couldn't sit in the position of the Taoist Lord, there would be many benefits waiting for him.
What the Flower Lord asked him to do was very simple for him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and he picked up the tea with a smile.
"Is the tea delicious?" a voice asked softly.
Yan Gaoru was in a cold mood and got goose bumps all over his body. His true energy was circulating and he shouted fiercely: "Who?"
This is the highly vigilant Yiluansi Mansion in Selangor Selangor. How can he not be afraid of someone who can easily sneak into his room but never let him discover it?
His true energy is ready to go, and he is in a state of high alertness. He looks at his room, but he still can't see anyone.
"Mr. Yan should recognize me." The voice said softly again.
Yan Gao's face became heavier and heavier because he still did not notice the other party's existence, and because he shouted just now, there was no movement outside.
What's going on? He said in surprise: "Who are you?"
"I am Zhou Fan." The voice chuckled, "The Great Protector of the Hei Shui Protectorate, you just snatched my Yunlei Mine. I don't think you won't even know me."
"Zhou Fan?" Yan Gao's hand gently patted the storage bag, and a yellowish light came out of the silver bag, and fell on his hand and turned into a bronze mirror.
He suspected that there were talisman arrays that were isolated from sounds were laid around the room, so his voice could not be heard. As for the person who spoke, the person who spoke might be in an invisible state, this bronze mirror was a proud instrument he often used, which could see through some invisible magic or instrument talismans.
"We have no grievances and no grudges, why are you looking for me?" Yan Gao said in a deep voice while shooting the house with a bronze mirror: "If it is for Yunlei Mine, then you should go to the Lord Hanbei Road, which was awarded by the Lord Hanbei Road to Yiluansi in the Snow City."
"Does Lord Yan think I don't know anything?" Zhou Fan's voice sounded in Yan Gao's ears, "When Hua Feihua said she wanted to re-deem Yunlei Mine to Yiluansi Mansion in Dongxuezhou, the four envoys of Dongxuezhou understood that this was caused by the conflict between Hua Feihua and me."
"The other three four envoys did not want to get involved in this matter, and were unwilling to accept that Yunlei Mine had a dispute with our Hei Shui Protectorate. You suggested that if you did not accept Yunlei Mine, you would offend Shangguan..."
"Who told you?" Yan Gao shouted angrily.
The Four Conquests of Dongxuezhou had Yunzhongnan, a faction of aristocratic families, Jian Chuanning, a lay disciple of the Great Buddha Temple, and Eunuch Chen from the Jing Palace, but there was no monk from the same academy faction as Zhou Fan. He wondered how Zhou Fan knew?
"Is this meaningful? There are no airtight walls in the world." Zhou Fan smiled.
"So what if it's me?" Yan Gao raised his eyebrows slightly. He searched in the mirror for so long but couldn't find Zhou Fan. He couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "Zhou Fan, do you still want to kill your peers? This is a big taboo."
"A dog will jump over the wall when they are anxious. It seems that Hua Feihua didn't tell you that I was a complete madman." Zhou Fan's voice was misty and cold, "Who knew I did it if I killed you?"
