Flower Fairy's Tribulation

The three of them nodded frequently, and Jiang Youyou said: "It's rare for Su Hua to understand the misery and hardship of the people. He is very sober..."

Shi Yan nodded and said: "Yes, Su Hua has the appearance of a Ming Lord Saint King..."

Lin Chenzhong said: "So, the tax burden on the business community in Green Sheng City has been gradually reduced, so why did a collective shutdown still occur to resist the harsh taxes?"

Shi Yan sighed and said: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. Su Hua implemented the policy of disarmament, tax reduction and people's recuperation to gradually stabilize the situation in Lusheng City. This policy was originally right and was also supported by the majority of business elites. Recognition.”

"But when he reduced the size of the garrison to 25 and prepared to cancel the war tax, it touched the interests of some people. There were rumors in Lusheng City and Baqiu City that Su Hua wanted to win people's hearts and was preparing to separate Lusheng City for rebellion and independence. Su Gui couldn't To identify the authenticity, he transferred Su Hua back to Baqiu City and lifted his military power..."

Hua Yueying and Lin Chenzhong heard Wu Fan say that the talented Su Hua was transferred because of the slander of Jin Ming, a young boy of all ages, so they were not surprised when they heard this, but they pretended to be curious.

Lin Chenzhong asked: "Why do some people spread rumors and cause trouble?"

Shi Yan said: "Suhua's disarmament caused many people to lose their military power. The reduction and elimination of war taxes caused a significant reduction in fiscal revenue, which also touched the interests of some people. Blocking people's financial paths is like digging up people's ancestral graves. Therefore, rumors are spreading. Strange……"

Shi Yan did not say who the "interests of some people" were referring to. Even if they asked questions intentionally, Shi Yan's government would not offend anyone by saying so, so the three of them were sensible and did not ask too many questions.

Hua Yueying said: "I heard that after Su Hua left, a city-wide strike occurred shortly after Su Hui arrived?"

Shi Yan nodded and said, "Yes, the Lusheng City garrison had been reduced to 25 at that time, which was an acceptable level. The temporarily increased war tax should be cancelled. However, the Lusheng City government has been unwilling to cancel the war tax. The excuse is The 25 garrison cannot maintain stability around Green Sheng City, and more troops are needed, so the war tax cannot be completely abolished, so the 5% war tax is retained."

"In fact, they have not increased their troops at all, and there is no need to increase them. There are still 10 troops stationed in the Pine Ridge Fortress to the west of Lusheng City. They and Lusheng City are at the horns of each other. They can completely maintain the defense security of Lusheng City."

Shi Yan said seriously: "The number of troops has not increased, and the war tax is still increased. I don't know what the extra money will be used for! After the Bachu Kingdom comes, the business community of Green City will have to bear 15% of the tax, and the increase will be maintained for a long time. A 5% additional tax means a 20% tax, which is a rare high tax rate across the continent."

"In comparison, the average tax rate for the business community in Lusheng City during the reign of the Jiang family of Wu Sheng Kingdom was only about 10%. Now it remains at about 20%, which has exceeded the profit level of many handicraftsmen. The profit margin is not enough to pay taxes, and the industry is suffering. The words were unacceptable, so everyone simply closed down the business in anger——"

Harsh government is fiercer than tigers, and there is no harm without comparison. Compared with the situation in the business community of Lusheng City after the arrival of Baqiu State, everyone finally realized the benefits of the period when the Jiang family of Wusheng State was in power.

When Shi Yan mentioned Wu Shengguo's policy of light corvee and low taxes, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Jiang Youyou was in a much better mood.
