Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Perhaps it was the long-standing misunderstanding that made Inzaghi very depressed. Now that he told the truth, he completely released his emotions, and his face was a little red with excitement.

After talking about the "Saints' Ten Percent Tax", he did not mean to stop, and then talked about other taxes.

"Everyone thinks that the "Saints' Service" was established because the church needed free labor.

But no one knows the background of establishing this tax, and they are unwilling to face the real situation of today's society.

The reality is that many people now have no jobs and no income, and they can't even eat.

If they are not given a bite of food, they will all starve to death on the street.

And the "Saints' Service" is to solve this problem.

We did let those believers work for us, and we did not pay them.

But our real purpose is not to need them to work, but to provide them with a job, three meals a day, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Perhaps Your Excellency the Great Sword Saint may think, since it is for relief, why not just provide all this?

It's not that we don't want to do this, but this method doesn't work.

In fact, Your Excellency the Great Sword Saint, we did do this.

At that time, we also directly free

But after a period of time, we found that free assistance would not help the development of society except for cultivating a bunch of lazy people, vampires, and unwarranted increase in financial burdens.

Therefore, we launched the "Saint Service" to provide these people with the minimum guarantee through work-for-relief.

And as mentioned before, since our Temple Church does not have the right to do business, we cannot provide jobs.

Therefore, we can only use this method to solve the problem.

Do you understand how helpless we are about the "Saint Service"? "

Ethan nodded: "Of course! I understand it very well.

Human nature is like this. Free help not only cannot help people, but also encourages laziness.

Even those who receive help often not only do not feel grateful, but also resentful.

For example, the current situation of your church!

Seeing that Ethan sincerely agreed, Inzaghi became more and more excited, and his face became more and more ruddy.

"Mr. Ethan, it's great that you can understand!

In fact, all our tax policies exist to protect the people.

The "loyalty tax" is particularly misunderstood.

This tax seems to require believers to donate all their property for no reason, but in fact we set it up to protect the property safety of believers.

It sounds unreasonable, but this is the fact.

The reason...

Well...you also know that the Holy Light Church always fabricates charges to persecute others for no reason, just to occupy other people's property.

And we set up the "loyalty tax" to tell the Holy Light Church that the property of this believer belongs to our church, and you will not get any benefit even if you persecute him.

As the saying goes, there is no killing without buying and selling.

The Holy Light Church has no profit, so it will naturally not persecute those people again.

So, everything is not only a misunderstanding, but also forced by the Holy Light Church.

The Holy Light Church is simply the biggest scourge in the world, no one else.

Mr. Ethan, what do you think?"

In response to Inzaghi's question, Ethan did not comment.

However, he noticed something was wrong. Maybe it was because he was too excited, but Inzaghi's face was getting redder and redder, and it didn't fade.

This was obviously not normal.

Just as Ethan was about to ask, Kyle's voice came from his ear: "Master, his condition looks a bit like poisoning."

Ethan was shocked when he heard about poisoning.

If an archbishop died of poisoning on his ship for no apparent reason, he would not be able to get away from it.

At that time, the Temple Church would definitely use this excuse to cause trouble.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ethan immediately called the ship's doctor and the archbishop's entourage.

First, the doctor had to see the archbishop, and second, the archbishop's entourage had to testify that this matter had nothing to do with him, Ethan.

But before the doctor could check on Inzaghi, the high-ranking knight who had accompanied Inzaghi before took out a small bottle from his body when he saw that the archbishop was not in a good condition.

Then he poured out a small pill from the inside and fed it to Inzaghi with water.

After taking the medicine, Inzaghi's face instantly eased a lot.

Ethan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quietly asked Kyle: "He should be fine now!"

"The situation of this bishop is very strange."

When Ethan heard that the bishop was not out of danger, his heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted again: "What do you mean?"

"From the bishop's situation just now, he is likely to be poisoned by fungi, such as poisonous mushrooms.

According to common sense, although this type of poison takes a long time to develop, the toxin effect is not very strong.

But it also means that the detoxification is very slow, and often requires a specific antidote.

But, Master, you also saw that after taking that pill, he was instantly cured, which is incredible."

After hearing this, Ethan's mouth twitched.

Sometimes he really gave in to Kyle, who always didn't get to the point when talking.

From Kyle's words, he only heard that Inzaghi was fine.

Since he was fine, just say it directly, why beat around the bush.

"Kyle, can you stop talking like this?

Put the important information first, okay?

What does it matter if the Medicine God is not magical?

You should have told me first that Inzaghi was fine.

I know you want to say that there might be some conspiracy here.

But those are irrelevant at all! ”

“Yes! Master! I understand! From now on…”

Just as Ethan and Kyle were secretly communicating, Inzaghi, who had recovered, came to Ethan with an apologetic look on his face.

“I’m really sorry, my old illness has come back, and I’m sorry to trouble you, the Great Sword Saint. "

When Ethan saw that Inzaghi described the poisoning as an old illness, he could not help but frown slightly, and he was more certain that there might be some conspiracy.

However, he did not want Inzaghi to notice anything unusual, so he pretended to be unaware and asked about his physical condition with concern.

Inzaghi did not seem to care about his own health. Instead, he continued to talk about the tax policy of the Temple Church, and emphasized the tax policy and purpose of the Customs Bureau.

It was particularly emphasized that after the establishment of the Customs Bureau, most of its tax revenue would be used for road construction in the underdeveloped northwest regions to promote economic trade in the northwest region of the empire.

Another part of the tax revenue would be used for basic livelihood security projects.

At the same time, as before, it was necessary to explain why the tax was so high, and then put all the blame on the Holy Light Church.

In short, the content of Inzaghi's speech boiled down to It's:

Whatever the Temple does, it is wholeheartedly for the prosperity of the empire and the well-being of the people.

And the Holy Light Church is a disaster, and all the suffering is caused by them.

Ethan has been listening carefully, nodding his head from time to time.

However, he resolutely did not make any comments on any issues that required a statement, but pretended to think seriously.

In short, it was like I agree with your point of view, but I have concerns and hesitation.

Inzaghi saw everything, and his heart was mixed.

He always felt that he was very good at perceiving people's hearts, but he found that he could not understand the real thoughts of the great swordsman.

Finally, Inzaghi said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Great Swordsman, you may not know that I have never explained the tax policy to a noble so carefully, and you are the first.

Of course, this is not to say that I don't want to discuss this with other nobles, but because I know that if I tell them, they are not interested in listening.

But I know that you will definitely be willing to listen.

Because we have noticed that your series of governing measures are all for the people to have the most basic survival guarantee.

Your governing philosophy is exactly the same as ours.

Given our common philosophy, I hope you can seriously consider our suggestions, support and assist us in establishing the Customs Department.

Let us work together to create a better Maro City. ”
