Chapter three hundred and fifty seventh tax collector

Koma is an ordinary farmer near Satumare City. His family has a total of five people and six acres of land. Although he is not very rich, he is still living a good life. This year's autumn harvest has ended, and the six acres of land are basically a bumper harvest. The wheat is piled up in the warehouse. Koma has also completed the most important work of the year. Now he is waiting for the lord to get the taxes and go to the city to sell some grain, and then the rest period of the whole winter.

"Coma! Go to the village square quickly, the official documents are coming." Sitting at the door of his house to drink tea, someone hurried over to hurriedly run over. Coma looked up and saw that it was Devins, who lives next to him.

"Oh, is the autumn tax?" Coma nodded. It was almost time for him. He had prepared early, so he got up and followed Devins to the village square, with a small wooden table on it, and the village chief Aike was speaking on it.

"Are you all here?" Village chief Aiko looked at the people below. Basically every household had sent someone, so he nodded, "Everyone, call you here today. I believe everyone knows what's going on. The annual autumn harvest has ended. Now it's time to pay taxes. This year, the city of Satumare belonging to our village of Sikor is no longer a territory directly under the Empire. Everyone knows that a new Duke has come. The entire Lancaster area has become the Duke of Lancaster. Our village is now also the territory of the Duke of Lancaster. Therefore, the tax this year was just decided by the Duke of Lancaster. The official documents have been sent to Satumare. I just went to see it and came back."

"We already know, just talk about the tax rate." A villager below said. Every household had been notified a few days ago that the owner of this place had changed. Everyone also knew that the boss above had become the Duke of Aquitaine. But what does it have to do with them? Taxes are not paid the same every year. Can you not pay them if you change someone?

"Okay, listen, the tax rate set by the Duke this year is...70%!" The village chief suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly to the villagers below.

"Ha?" The people below were stunned. Did you hear that right?

"Yes, when I heard it the first time I heard it, it was 70%. This is simply an impossible tax rate. Lord Lord is really... so... so good to us!" The village chief said as he burst into tears.

"70%? 70%! Oh my God, Lord Lord actually charged us a 70% tax rate!" The villagers below also came to their senses and immediately became chaotic. "I have eight people in my family. If I pay 70% tax, wouldn't it be that people will starve to death? This... this is simply great!"

"Oh my God. This new lord is too kind, and he actually charges a tax rate of 70%. Now, our family is going to starve to death. It seems that I am going to sell a son. Thank you Lord!" A villager next to him said with gratitude.

"70%, I have never met such a good lord. Thanks to the God of Light, who sent this kind lord to us."

"I can't survive now. It's great, Coma, have you heard it? It seems that our family will all starve to death this year." Devins pulled Coma excitedly, and they had more family members, and their brothers were generally more capable of giving birth, with a total of 11 people, and there were relatively few land areas. In previous years, the 15% tax was a bit tight, and this year there was no way out, which made Devins so excited that he couldn't even live by himself.

"Great, Devins!" Coma also felt a warm current flowing in his heart, and was very happy for his neighbor who wanted to starve to death. The 70% tax, the family will not starve to death this year, and it was a waste of time. Although it was not a big deal, Coma was still happy.

"Dear villagers, I was so excited to hear about this. I have been the village chief for more than ten years. Have you ever been so crazy tax rates? What's more, the empire now requires lords from all over the country to recuperate and cannot collect such high tax rates. Lord Lord has taken such a great risk to collect 70% of our taxes for our lives. This... what a great lord is this!" The village chief Emma said while patting his chest.

"Long live Lord!" "Long live Lord!"

Without the reminder of the village chief here, the villagers below immediately started shouting, and Devins and Coma immediately shouted, each of whom was grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and the shouts were shaking the earth.

"Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone," Emma, ​​the village chief, immediately pressed his hands and signaled everyone to calm down. The scene soon calmed down again. Emma here said again, "Everyone, I decided that in order to thank the Lord for your kindness, I will personally go to Sovata City, hoping to thank the great Lord."

"Village Chief, I'm going too!" a villager below shouted immediately.

"I'm going too! My family will definitely be starved to death this year. Before that, I must thank the Lord Lord!"

"I'm going too!" "I'm going!"

"Everyone is quiet!" Emma said with a crutch on the floor, "Just let me go. The tax collector will arrive tomorrow. All your households are preparing here to try to pay the tax as soon as possible. Lord Lord is so kind to us, so everyone cannot cause trouble for Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord, just pass on your wishes to Lord Lord Lord Lord."

"The village chief is right." The villagers below nodded, and the tax collector could not find anyone. Isn't this delaying the lord's tax revenue? The lord is so kind to him that he can't do this.

"Okay, village chief, let's stay and cooperate with the tax collector to pay the tax immediately." The villagers below said one after another.

"Okay... I'm going to set off today. Tomorrow my son Selwin will take my tax collector on my behalf. Everyone must cooperate well and not cause trouble for the Lord, do you know?" Village Chief Emma reminded.

"Don't worry, the village chief, we will definitely cooperate!" the villagers replied one after another.

"Okay, let's disband, I'm going to get ready to go, too." Village Chief Emma said with a wave of her hand.

The villagers immediately dispersed and went home to inform their families of the good news at one point so that they could be happy too.

The next day, on the way to Sikol Village, the tax collector Pavlov walked into Sikol Village with a nervous look on his face. He really didn't want to come. This year's tax is simply not collected by people. Is this tax collection? This is obviously a robbery. How can the farmers who collect 70% of the tax survive? This is absolutely a rebellion.

The city lord Bakwu had already ordered martial law. When the tax collector was sent in the morning, Pavlov, who was not the first turn, was actually selected because his boss resigned yesterday. He talked nonsense. When encountering such a fatal thing, his boss who was greedy for life and fear of death had long since run away. Unfortunately, Pavlov didn't react and was appointed directly by the city lord this morning. Now there are more than thirty city guards following him, saying that he wanted to protect himself. In fact, Pavlov also understood and was afraid that he would run away.

Imagine what happened today, a lot of angry villagers must have asked themselves what the tax rate was. Then the crowd was excited and killed himself, the tax collector, and the uprising. The more Pavlov thought about it, the more he was afraid, the more he was afraid of leaving, the slower he was. The city guards behind him didn't know what was going on, and kept urging Pavlov to hurry up.

After delaying for a long time, Pavlov still arrived at the entrance of Sikor Village. This was his first stop, but Pavlov felt that he had no life to go to the next stop. This hundred jin must have been here today.

"Here's here!" As soon as he walked to the village gate, Pavlov's group here was discovered by several villagers who were waiting for them. The villagers who reported the news immediately went to find the village chief's agent Selwin.

"It's over...it's over..." Pavlov immediately saw a large number of excited villagers rushing towards them. Pavlov's legs became weak and he almost stopped.

"What do you want to do? Stop!" The city guard behind immediately stepped forward and stopped the villagers and said.

"Are you a tax collector?" Selwin, the village chief agent, stepped forward and asked.

"This is the tax collector, Lord Pavlov. Now he is going to Xikol Village to collect taxes. Why are you villains blocking your way? I wonder what the crime of delaying taxes!" The captain of the city guard stepped forward and shouted at the villagers.

"Sir Pavlov forgive me!" The villagers here were startled and immediately knelt down and said in unison to Pavlov in the middle.

"Huh? Why is it different from what I imagined?" Pavlov here was stunned. Shouldn't he rushing up and tearing himself into pieces? Why doesn't he feel like that? This little official was called Pavlov for the first time. Pavlov felt very happy and had a courage. Pavlov stepped forward and said, "I am the tax collector Pavlov, what are you... what are you doing?"

"Mr. Pavlov, Caomin is Selwin, the son of the village chief of Sikor. It was my father who asked me to come to receive you. Fortunately, it is not easy for you to come. The village has prepared a banquet and is waiting for the adults to come. I hope the adults will appreciate their faces." Selwin said immediately.

"Wine...the banquet?" Pavlov here didn't understand it at all. It would be nice if he didn't tear himself up. He would prepare a banquet for himself, just kidding him.

"Yes, sir, please come into the village quickly." Selwin said again.

"No, why is this guy laughing so happily?" Pavlov suddenly didn't know what was going on and began to think randomly, "There must be a problem. There is definitely a problem with the banquet. Should I capture me alive, or see that there are too many people here and I want to poison us to death?"

"Bastard!" Pavlov said with courage, "I... don't have time to drink? You guys quickly pay the tax, I... I'm going to the next place."
