Gold is Justice

"It's weird what I want to do, isn't it?"

Arrow knew that if he didn't explain clearly to the cat, it might not be so easy to put himself to sleep.

Napa landed on Airl's bed, her two front legs kept stepping on Airl's quilt, she didn't lie down until she found a really comfortable position, and continued to face Airl with a lazy look: "Explain Well, what are you going to do with this kind of weird thing? Those little guys may not need to know these things, but as the vice president of Mermaid Song, I think I need to know what you want to do."

Airl smiled, sat on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes, pinching his swollen feet.After pinching twice, he turned his head to look at the cat, and on a whim, the hand that pinched the foot just now wanted to reach out to touch its fur.

It's a pity that just as he stretched out his hand, the cat immediately bristled its fur and stared at Airl's hand with a fierce grin: "Don't touch me with the hand you just pinched your foot!"

There was a sad expression on Ai Luo's face, he withdrew his hand a little sheepishly, sighed and said: "Actually, it's nothing to say, just find a way to change those stolen money into money that we can use gone."

It took a long time for the cat with fried hair to relax a little bit. It looked at Airl's hand, moved it to the side very vigilantly, and then found a soft position again and lay down: "What is this? What do you mean? Tell me clearly."

Ai Luo changed one foot and pinched it. He has been running around for the past two days, and the soles of his feet are indeed tired.While pinching, he said: "As I said before, this money is stolen money, so it is impossible to use it normally. However, if it is our normal income funds, it can be used very conveniently."

"So, I asked them to resell the barley. Since we bought at a high price and sold at a low price, the barley should not stay in our hands. After such a change of hands, we lost a total of 1 gold coin, but think about it in another way Think, we have also earned a commission fee of 1 gold coin through the 'normal entrustment' approach. This gold coin is our normal income, and it is the amount that can be entered into the account and audited."

As a monster, Airl was sure that the cat probably didn't know much about this kind of behavior.I saw that Napa was now lowering her head and tilting her head, as if she was trying to think about the connections and problems.After a while, the cat finally seemed to understand a little bit, raised its head and said, "So, you are just spending a gold coin to turn the original stolen money into normal income? Why are you humans so troublesome?" Complicated and unnecessary behavior?"

Airl smiled, and sat cross-legged on the bed with his legs folded: "There is no way, we humans are so troublesome and complicated. As long as we can avoid taxes, as long as we can avoid the investigation of tax officials, we can think of any method. "

Napa: "Is this also the knowledge you have learned in the Department of Economics?"

Airl shook his head: "To be precise, it was invented by many big figures who used this method to turn black money into white. By the way, this method has a more professional name called 'money laundering'. Laundering black money Bai, turning illegal income into legal income is such a method.”

After thinking for a while, Napa finally fully understood what was going on here.Apparently, the cat didn't care much about Arrow's money laundering.And Airl doesn't think that Warcraft will sincerely come to understand the economic situation of human beings.

"The method is a good method, but I don't understand, you can actually not use such a complicated method, can you?"

Napa licked the fur on her hands, then wiped her face——

"If you just record the sales of a few more bottles of potions or maps in the ledger, won't you be able to keep all the money in your pocket?"

Airl smiled, nodded and said: "Of course, there is another method. We humans generally call this method 'making fake accounts', or 'yin-yang account book'. I also thought about doing this, but as far as the current Not enough for the situation.”

Napa looked up at Airl: "Why?"

Airl: "Because our current business is not so rich, in the past two months, there have been only three pieces of work to explore the mine. Wouldn't it be strange if I sold a lot of potion maps instead? Moreover, if I make up a fictitious exploration mission here, it does not match the map I have drawn, and it does not match my actions in Pelican Town. If I make up a fiction that we will go out to do a mission tomorrow, but tomorrow happens to be The townspeople came to ask us to entrust work, and when the tax officer inspected it, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to ask a few more questions?”

"So, although the current method of money laundering is a bit troublesome, it is still safe. On the surface, the transfer of barley has nothing to do with us. We just earned a bodyguard fee. There is no need to do this kind of thing too much Frequently, come once every five or six days, and at the same time let the three of them exchange roles with each other, and then resell them in other ways in winter, I believe that the money will be laundered soon."

Napa understood the purpose of Airl's actions. The cat licked its paws, wiped its face again, then slowly floated up and flew towards the door.But just as it was about to go out, the cat suddenly seemed to think of something, turned its head, and flew in front of Napa again.

"It's hard work for you as the president. An adventurer's guild still thinks about money laundering, and it's hard for you."

Ai Luo took off his coat and changed into pajamas, with a smile still on his face: "Haven't you already confirmed this point several times?" Napa nodded, and said after turning around Ai Luo: " So, when are you going to go to that mine again?"

Airl raised his eyebrows: "You know exactly what I'm thinking! But I don't plan to go down to the mine at the moment, because there are no craftsmen who can make spears or spears in Pelican Town. To deal with those corpse eaters, You have to use piercing weapons. So, I hope that we can go down as fully armed as possible."

After hearing that Airl was not planning to go to the mine for the time being, the cat's eyes flashed a color of relief.Of course, this touch of color didn't escape Airl's eyes, but he was also glad that the cat could worry about him.

"If you want to go to this mine... I suggest you try to get me as many magic crystals as possible."

Napa flew towards the gate again.

"Compared to a blacksmith, as long as you give me enough magic spar, I can provide you with enough equipment and supplies. The strength of your four men is far from enough now, so I hope you still ask me to help you occasionally. It's better to help."

Airl wanted to thank the cat, but before he could thank the cat, Napa had already opened the door and floated out.

Well, it's all right.

Airl let out a breath and lay back on the bed.

Anyway, the current guild is in its infancy, if it really needs its help... at least, it's better than really failing.

Chapter 54 The economy is the most important, but... also the most troublesome

Any human activity is economically oriented from a macro perspective.

It is precisely because of economic development that there will be classes and landlords, and with this development there will be nobles and emperors who rule the entire country.

As a royal family, apart from the dignity of the status, the most important thing is to ensure that one's own wealth is sufficient.

A royal family with nothing but titles may be able to linger on, receiving minimal love from the people in its domain.But once such a royal family encounters the invasion of other countries, it will immediately fall. After all, those peasants will not protect you completely because you are a royal family, or even sacrifice their lives.

Therefore, taxation - is one of the basic property revenues of a country.

Perhaps for some countries, taxation is not the main source of finance.But definitely the basic building blocks.

To put it bluntly, everything is a matter of gold coins.If you have money, you can discuss it. If you don't have money, no matter what royal family you are, even a demon or a god, you can't have any impact on any human activities in the world.

Since October, Arrow has been calculating the property income of his guild every day.

After these two months of operation, he was convinced that the income would be pitifully small just by relying on the task entrusted by Pelican Town to work.Although generally speaking, it is possible to maintain operations without losing money, it is impossible to earn 1000 gold coins at the Holy Night Festival three years later at this rate of making money.

These days, he has also been worried, for fear that some important person will follow the iron wolf's trail and come here to trouble them.

But he also had some expectations that someone would come, because the gold nuggets that Merlin took away were unquestionable, in Merlin...or in other words, a certain elder behind the Eye of Truth must have already started planning some kind of action.Whether you can get on the free ride of these actions smoothly is the key to your own development!

It's a pity that no matter whether it's good or bad, no one comes these days, and everything seems very peaceful, as if no one cares about the iron wolf at all, and no one cares about the gold at all.

While doing the accounts, Airl looked up at the sky outside.

How about... organize another adventure into the mine by yourself?

As soon as this idea was raised from Airl's head, it was immediately snuffed out by his reason.

The level of the mine is still a bit high for Song of the Mermaid. At least, it would be great if I could go to the nearest big city to forge some swords and spears...

Forget it, I don't want to.

Airl raised the ledger in his hand again, checked it up and down again, then nodded, closed it, and walked out the door with him.

The weather has begun to cool down, and as the temperature drops, the number of stalls in the central square has also decreased significantly.

If you really want to sell things, the first month of autumn is enough to make people sell out a lot of things, and then Pelican Town is greeted by a quiet winter.Therefore, the reduction of stalls is also expected.

Across the square and down the street to the mayor's mansion of the mayor of Round Cheese, Arrow knocked lightly on the door.When the mayor saw Airl through the window, he immediately ran over to open the door.

"Boss, business is booming!"

Airl was smiling, and Round Cheese was naturally smiling too.

"Hahaha! Business is booming, everyone's business is booming! President Arrow, I'm preparing meals for your students this month!"

Of course Airl could hear the subtext here, and then raised the purse, shook it, and said with a smile, "Of course, isn't it? I'm also here to send food expenses."

With money, it's easy to say anything.

Round Cheese happily brought Airl into the living room, while his wife handed Airl a cup of tea.

"Here, this is the food expenses for the students in October. You see, one iron coin per person per day, 30 days, forty people, a total of 1 gold and 2 silver."

Airl took out a gold coin and two silver coins from his pocket and placed them in front of the round cheese. The mayor couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly, and quickly moved the three coins with his hands slightly stained with flour. Putting the coin into his arms, he weighed it lightly, and smiled even more happily.

"Oh, for the education of our Pelican Town, this is what it should be! Have you eaten lunch? Why don't you go after lunch! Come on, dear! Let's prepare lunch quickly!"

Airl is also not polite, too polite at this time would be alienating: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

When the mayor's wife went to Zhang Luo for lunch, Ai Luo took out the account book in his arms and spread it in front of Round Cheese, and said: "Mayor, this is the revenue of Mermaid Song since its establishment. According to the tax law, We are supposed to pay 15.00% of all work income, but since the guild is in its infancy stage, five points of tax can be deducted, so..."

"Oh, don't tell me these things!"

When it came to numbers, Round Cheese's smiling face suddenly became ugly.

The mayor said with a sad face: "As the mayor, although I say that I do my best for our town, I know everyone in our town and the family status of each family. As long as it is our town in Pelican Townspeople, as long as something happens to someone's family, I will do my best to help everyone."

"But, this period is my biggest headache every year... It's really hard to calculate taxes! Hey, Airl, look over there, come here, I'll show you."

Round Cheese took Airl's hand involuntarily, dragged him to the office, pointed to the pile of documents on the table, and said with a sad face: "Look, these are the bills in the town this year. Taxes. I won’t talk about the tavern of small spirits, but the tailor shop of Pudian and the tool shop of long sticks. There are only so many accounts in these two stores. I have to calculate the accounts inside and calculate The amount of tax exemption and taxes, these days really made my head explode!"

Looking at so many ledgers on the table, to be honest... Airl was very happy.

Seeing Cheese's frowning face now, Arrow felt even more happy, as if he was singing loudly while taking a bath in the spacious bathroom!

Can't figure out the accounts?Account confusion?that would be great!

The more this is the case, doesn't it mean that it is easier to get away with this money laundering account?

Therefore, although Ai Luo was already happy in his heart, there was still a very embarrassed expression on his face: "That's it... But the boss, my account book... What should I do? Don't you need to do the accounting?"

Round Cheese waved his hand, and said impatiently: "What is the calculation? I believe you, and you can pay as much tax as you say. My own cheese shop can't even figure it out. It's really true at this time. I hope that there will be a high-achieving student who can help to settle the accounts..."

Having said that, Round Cheese's eyes suddenly lit up!Those flour-stained hands immediately grabbed Ai Luo's hand, and said with golden eyes: "Yes! I heard that you are a graduate of the old Tengshu College, right? It is our capital, the old building in Hanhai City. Tengshu Academy, right?!"

"Huh? Ah, yes..."

"Great! Since he is a high-achieving student of Lao Tengshu, he must be very good at accounting! Brother Airo, can you help me to calculate these accounts? I really have a headache watching it! I really don't have the energy to do the accounting properly! If If possible, I also hope that you can settle the accounts of our entire town within the next few days! Because during this time, the tax officer will come to check the accounts, and I don’t want to leave me as the mayor of the tax officer. What a competent impression!"

Ai Luo was slightly taken aback: "Why the mayor? Did you settle your accounts clearly before?"

Round Cheese shook his head confidently: "No, it has always been a mess. So I have to be scolded by the tax officer almost every year."

The mayor looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he came over and said in a low voice, "I'm a mayor after all, but every time I get scolded bloody, I can't lift my neck. , and always being told that you can resign and don’t do such things... You think, I don’t have any other hobbies, it’s just a matter of face... I hope I can have a little bit of it. The tax official scolds like a grandson..."

If you don't want to be scolded, then check your accounts carefully and do your calculations.This is not a complicated job, it is purely a matter of patience and time.If he was a tax officer and saw such a mess every time he came to collect taxes, then Arrow would probably want to curse.

As the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Airl had no reason to refuse the entrustment, and then said with a smile: "Well, in this case, I will accept the entrustment from you, mayor. Let me think about it, although this entrustment is not dangerous. , but it will take a lot of time, and the tax officer should be here in a few days, right? The time is quite tight... so the fees..."

Airo gestured for money, and the expression on Round Cheese's face suddenly darkened a little.From this point of view, Airl felt that the mayor was quite similar to himself—he valued money so much.

"Well... how much do you want?"

Airl thought for a while, "If you were to sort this out by yourself, how much time would you need?"

Round Cheese with a dark face: "My own words...it won't work in ten days and half a month..."

Ai Luo smiled and said, "Then how about this, 5 copper coins a day, and I will help you fix it within a week, how about it?"

The mayor's expression was as if he wanted to swallow all these bills, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "5 copper coins a day?! I said President Arrow, everyone is a part of the town, and we can treat each other There is a deal and a quantity, will you charge me so expensive? It will cost 3 silver and 5 copper a week!"

Airl shrugged, and said helplessly, "I can't help it. I'm the guild leader. It's always more expensive to ask the guild leader to personally serve you."

Round Cheese immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "This is not acceptable, it is too expensive! I have seen the task charging standard in your guild, and there is no life-threatening task at most 1 silver coin, right? And you Pay me by the day? It’s too expensive! If it’s really that expensive, then I’d rather be scolded by the tax officer again. For one silver coin, I’ll give you one silver coin at most, can you help me?”

Ai Luo smiled, and put the account book in his hand on the mayor's desk: "Then, please ask the mayor to help calculate the accounts of our guild, as well as taxes, I will put it here first."
