Chapter 56 The storm is about to come(2/2)
Today, the city lord's palace issued an order to increase the tax on medicinal materials by 15% in the territory under the jurisdiction of Flame City. Violators will be severely punished as disturbing public order.
The total profit of the Zhao family's medicinal material business is just over 20%. If the tax is increased by 15%, it will be almost unprofitable.
If you pay 15% more, the Zhao family will have to pay hundreds of thousands more gold coins every month.
Zhao Zhenduo chatted with his elder brother at night: Brother, Duan Wuhen is crazy. If the tax is increased by 15%, Flame City will collect hundreds of thousands more gold coins a month. What does he want to do?
What else could he want to do, just make money. The Flame City is not the largest city in Canglang Kingdom, but now it actually has the highest taxes. This is really a joke.
Zhao Zhenxing sneered.
Is it possible that they are coming for us? Zhao Zhenduo has a bad feeling now.
This is not certain, but it is possible.
While they were talking, Xu Baichuan hurried over.
Brother Xu, is there something urgent? Seeing Xu Baichuan's anxious look, Zhao Zhenduo was even more worried.
Duan Wuhen is crazy. He is actually planning to send 10,000 troops to station in Qinghuang Town. All those who go to the mountains to collect medicine must pay a gold coin every month. Doesn't this force the price of medicinal materials to increase?
Sure enough, Xu Baichuan brought bad news, and Zhao Zhenduo's expression became even more solemn.
With one or two hundred thousand herb collectors, what on earth does Duan Wuhen want to do?
More than half of these medicinal materials are sold to us. Don’t you understand what they want to do?
When Xu Baichuan said this, Zhao Zhenduo completely understood that everything should be targeted at the Zhao family.
But they didn't know that these bad ideas were all given by the young Yan Xue.
I don't know what they would think if they found out.
