Great Summoner Pokémon

Chapter 117 One Nuowanjin!
Now Spiegel suddenly said that they don't need to pay taxes, which is really unbelievable.

Even Meng Kuo and Will didn't understand. Their first reaction was not to doubt the authenticity of Spiegel's policy.

But if this policy is really implemented, the country's tax revenue will not be much, so where will the fiscal expenditure be found.

Even if everyone doesn't want a salary, what that person eats is a huge expense, not to mention the maintenance and update of weapons and equipment.

Moreover, the soldiers are all professionals, and they also have their own families to support. If wages are not paid, it is estimated that there will not be a few people left in the end.

Although Spiegel had just issued this order, and the change of the order would seriously damage his prestige, Meng Kuo still decided to step forward to persuade him.

Before Meng Kuo could say a word, Spiegel raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"I know what you said, but now that the whole Fossballo is in dire need of recuperation, besides, civilians whose income is less than 1000 gold coins don't pay much tax. Could it be that I want to turn them into Are slaves sold for money?"

Spiegel asked back.

Meng Kuo was speechless, but where would the expenses come from if he didn't do this?

Before Nohara Poison came, Griffin City's daily expenses were already very tight, and the days were getting worse day by day, but they could barely maintain it.

Now he and his gang have ruined the foundation by killing chickens and taking eggs, and the taxes collected can't even be maintained.

"Wei Chen asks to forgo his salary."

Meng Kuo said, since the income is not enough, then reduce the expenditure, and his family still has some savings.

"The minister is too."

Will agreed.

Spiegel waved his hand.

"I feel your loyalty to the country, but it's far from the level where you can't pay your salary. Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Spiegel held out a finger to meet the suspicious eyes of the people below.

"There is a big stone shaped like a crouching tiger beside the gate of the city. If anyone of you can lift it here, I will reward you with 10000 gold coins."

There was an uproar in the square, and no one believed that there was such a good thing.

Basically everyone here knows that stone, it's not too big, it looks like a hundred catties, and ordinary adults can move it here from the city gate if they put all their efforts together.

Can such a simple thing be rewarded with 10000 gold coins?Is there such a good thing in the world?

Almost everyone wondered if the young king was playing them as if he had said he would not have to pay taxes.

After Spiegel uttered the words, none of the people below moved, and even Meng Kuo and the others were very puzzled.

Why is there such a high reward for such a small matter? If no one does it, it’s fine. If someone does it, wouldn’t it be a waste of 10000 gold coins?

And by that time, you can't go back on your word, otherwise the king's prestige will be gone.

Meng Kuo and the others were anxious, but Spiegel was calm.

"Dignified Fossballo, don't you even have the talent to do this little thing for me? Are all your bones broken?"

Spiegel exclaimed.

Now many people are dissatisfied, and some people are ready to move, but they are persuaded by relatives and friends around them.

Because this is too unbelievable, if he worked so hard to move the big rock, but was told that it was a joke, then he would definitely be laughed at by the people around him, saying that he had no brains, and even believed such words.

"The clock strikes ten. If no one goes, forget it, and the reward will be cancelled."

Spiegel delivered an ultimatum.

The civilians were even more sure, this must be a joke, 10000 gold coins is such a huge fortune, how could it be so easily rewarded to people.

Once, twice, until the ninth bell, there was a sudden shout.

"I come!"

Spiegel showed an interested expression, saying that there must be a brave man under a great reward, which finally didn't embarrass him too much.

What came out was a man nearly two meters tall, but unfortunately he was too thin, like a bamboo pole, if he was thicker, he would definitely be a good man.

"Xia Dianmang, accept this task."

The man said loudly.

"Okay, hurry up and get back."

Spiegel nodded, smiling.

Dian Mang turned around and strode towards the gate of the city.

Others began to talk about it, and many people even laughed at Dian Mang, saying that he was really crazy about money, and he didn't even believe such words.

Dian Mang ignored it, and went straight to the big white rock in the shape of a crouching tiger, and clasped the boulder with both hands, exerted all his strength, his face was flushed, but the boulder was finally lifted up gradually.

Then he carried the stone on his shoulders and walked back step by step.

"Don't bother, Mang, it's better to save some effort to take care of my old lady."

"Yeah, you will be deceived. How can those nobles be so kind and just treat you like a monkey."

"Oh, why are you so stubborn? You don't listen to everyone's persuasion. Wait for the time to suffer and lose face."

Those who followed Dianmang chattered around Dianmang, but he turned a deaf ear and carried the stone to the square.

After putting down the stone, Dian Mang swayed slightly, his face turned pale, it was obvious that it was very difficult for him to do this.

However, when he went to resist the stone just now, Spiegel learned that Dian Mang was originally a member of the City Guard Army, and he was at the captain level.

Regardless of how tall he is, he is only 16 years old this year, and he is already a fighter at the peak of the first rank of gold, which can be described as extremely talented.

Later, Nohara Toxin took control of Griffin City and acted recklessly and brutally towards the civilians. He couldn't see it and contradicted him, and was expelled from the City Guards.

Originally, he could go anywhere with his strength, but there was still an elderly mother at home, and the old mother was not in good health, so he couldn't leave, and stayed in Griffin City to do some odd jobs to take care of the old mother.

Looking at Dian Mang, Spiegel was very satisfied. He puts filial piety first, and he can uphold justice for the weak. He has a good character.

Coupled with his good strength, how could Spiegel let such a talent go.

"I did it, give me the money."

Dian Mang raised his head and said.

"Don't worry, I have something to ask you."

Spiegel said with a smile.

"Look, I told you that I must be playing tricks on you. You just don't believe me. There is no such good thing in the world. If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of your eyes."

An old man next to him kept chattering.

"I heard that you used to be the captain of the city guard army. Now I intend to let you return to the city guard army and be promoted to deputy general. I wonder if you are willing?"

asked Spiegel.

"Give me the money first, and then talk about the rest."

Dian Mang didn't answer directly, but urged for money.

Spiegel was not angry either, and nodded to the soldiers beside him. He walked down carrying a big sack and placed it in front of Dian Mang.

Dian Mang opened the mouth of the bag and saw that there was a golden light, and it was full of golden coins.

Immediately, a circle of civilians came around, staring at the gold coins with wide eyes, eyes full of longing.

Dian Mang fastened the top of the bag again, saluted Spiegel, then picked up the big bag, put it on his shoulder, and walked away.
