Become the city lord from today

In the study inside Xiyang Castle.

Allie was holding a small wooden stick in her mouth, sitting at the desk, holding a water-based pen in her small hand to correct the government affairs in the territory, writing and writing, suddenly put the pen down, and scratched the fox's ears in annoyance.

"Allie? What's wrong? "

Next to her, Nicole put down her notepad and asked with concern, "Are you annoying those businessmen again?" "

"Hmm!" An Li nodded and said helplessly, "Those merchants feel like crazy people, pulling money bags, and coming to the city lord's mansion every day to ask when they can relax the purchase restrictions." "

"Isn't that great? There are merchants to buy our goods, which means that we have income, haven't you been worried about the decline in sales in the big market? Nicole was a little puzzled.

Allie wrinkled her little face and pouted, "I thought it was so before, but then I found out that something was wrong." "

"Huh? Did something happen? "Nicole is a little worried, when the young master is not there, there must be no accident.

"Those merchants, the day after the young master left Xiyang City, they swept away the goods in the big market." Allie opened the notepad, pointed to what she had recorded, and said solemnly, "Those merchants are stockpiling goods, and the next day they bought out the goods in the big market." "

"This... What's the problem? "

Nicole is still a little confused, isn't it very good that the goods are sold out? Many shops have also paid taxes, and the city lord's mansion has a large amount of money income these days.

"Alas!" Allie sighed, the fox's ears were soft, and he said weakly, "Of course there is a problem, a big problem." "

An Li began to explain, "The price of goods in our big market is already very cheap, if the merchants keep stockpiling goods without limit, and they organize caravans to transport the goods away and sell them, then the existence of the big market will be weakened by half, and our Xiyang City will become the kind of sweatshop that the young master said." "

Nicole understood that the biggest profiteers were the merchants, and the city lord's mansion could only get a little income from hard work.

"So what to do? Do you want to raise the price? Nicole said halfway, she shook her head, if the price is raised, then what will happen to the civilians of Xiyang City?

"I'm wondering if I want those merchants to pay taxes as well, so that it will create an extra income for the City Lord's Mansion, and more importantly, limit the hoarding of so many merchants."

Allie grabbed the fox's ears, the big market must not be out of stock, otherwise the follow-up merchants will come, and they will not be able to stay.

"But will they hand it over?" Nicole worried, "I'm afraid it's hard to pay taxes, after all, they are all buyers." "

"Alas... Oh, yes! Allie shrugged her head and said with a look full of defeat, "If I have to go shopping and pay taxes, the other party is afraid that I will ask Mina to beat him to death." "

Nicole rolled her eyes and asked softly, "Is there no other way?" "

"I haven't thought of a way for the time being, so I can only limit the amount of purchases we can make." An Li was lying on the table, and the work of the past few days had only let her know that it was not easy for the young master, a nobleman.

No, it was when the nobles of Xiyang City did not, like the nobles of other territories, they ate and drank all day long, or slept well.

"Don't worry! Today should be the day when the young master returns, and the young master will definitely have a way. "

Nicole soothed softly, knowing that this Li was under too much pressure, and she was usually reluctant to eat the lollipop sent by the young master, but now she ate one.

"yes! Today the young master is back. As soon as Allie heard this, she became active, closed the notepad, shook the shoes on her feet, and put her little feet without shoes on the chair, leaning her back against the chair and letting out a long breath.

"Whew... Uncle Niu Ben has already arranged for someone to pick up the young master, so leave this matter to the young master to worry about! "

Nicole shook her head funny, her gray eyes were longing, the backbone of the castle was not there, which made the two of them usually a little nervous, after all, to manage such a big 'family' business, I was afraid that something would go wrong.

"The young master has been out for five days, he must be very tired, I'll go get something to eat and prepare."

After speaking, Nicole walked away with brisk steps, recently she was studying new pastries, the kind of pastries that the young master said, it was a crucial step.

Allie sat for a while, picked up the notepad, and flipped to the notes of the lecture given to her by the young master in the back, she frowned and looked, there were many unfamiliar words in it, such as dumping, anti-dumping, etc.

"Goods are not available to the market? How can this change? "Allie's teeth are biting the stick, and she feels that her head, which used to be very smart, now feels stupid to death.

"Forget it, don't think about it, wait for the young master to come back and ask for advice."

Allie threw the notepad away, got up from the chair, and looked out the window at the scene of Xiyang City.

The main street of Xiyang City, the wide street is full of gold, that is drying wheat, each household is allocated an area to dry wheat, take advantage of the scorching sun to dry the water, do a good job before storage.

An Li pinched her chin, learned Liu Feng's tone, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Seeing so much wheat, people will be stable, and the family will not panic if there is surplus food." "

"Hee-hee-hee..."

Allie was happy with herself, propped her hands by the window, looking at the neat house plan in the city, such a city, she thought that there was only one in the world.

The wheat in the territory has been harvested for five days, and the first to dry has already entered the warehouse, and those civilians are also happy to hand over the tax on 30% of the wheat.

"The young master is still too kind."

An Li said faintly, she thought of other noble territories, when the wheat harvest was abundant, the nobles collected eighty percent of the wheat tax, leaving the commoners with two percent of the wheat.

A better nobleman will levy a tax of six or seven percent, leaving only the amount of wheat that will not starve the commoners, and the family will have surplus food? If it doesn't exist, let it all work for the lords and nobles.

Liu Feng here is the other way around, only collecting three percent of the wheat tax, if the commoners have no place to store, they can also sell the wheat to the city lord's mansion, the commoners exchange it for coins in hand, and then go to the big market to buy it when needed.

An Li remembered that the young master told her, saying that what to make the commoners rich, to let the commoners' families have surplus food, Xiyang City will develop, the market will be circulated, and the result will be more wealth.

"Alas!"

All right! Anli still didn't understand much, only as an excuse for the young master to be too kind and not let the civilians go hungry.

"The young master doesn't know what time he arrives home, and I haven't slept well in the past few days."

Allie touched a pimple on her cheek and said annoyedly, "When it is critical, I actually grow a small bag, no, I have to deal with it, otherwise the young master will think I am ugly when he sees it." "

"But how do you get it?" An Li pressed her fingers on the acne on her cheeks and worried, when she reached her age, it was the time to love stinky beauty, especially Liu Feng was coming back.
