Gold is Justice

Airl hurriedly spoke out, but before he finished speaking, the beggar had already slipped into the depths of the alley and disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

Cheese continued to weigh the piece of cheese in his hand, and the moment Ai Luo turned around and was about to speak, he jumped onto the roof on the side, and rushed into the alley in an instant.

This sudden explosive force and speed made Airl really startled, and now he can only slightly lie on the entrance of that alleyway, and keep looking in here.With a little sweat in his palm, he waited cautiously.

About 2 minutes before and after, a shadow suddenly emerged from the alley.Cheese held the cheese in one hand, and grabbed the beggar who had just escaped with the other hand, and stood in front of Ai Luo with ease.

"You... are really not bad."

Ai Luo crossed his hands, trying to show himself a very calm attitude towards the power of the cheese.

Cheese didn't care, he snorted coldly, and threw the beggar directly on the ground in front of Ai Luo.

"Who are you? Where are you from? I've never seen you in our town before. What's your name?"

The beggar who was captured looked terrified. Under the light of the elemental lights, the weird emotions shown in the alley just now completely disappeared.

The beggar kept mumbling, words that Arrow couldn't make out.Arrow seemed to understand every word, but couldn't form a complete sentence when put together.

What's more, the panic on the beggar's face became more and more obvious. In the end, he even collapsed and knelt down to Airl as if he was begging.

"Hey, we won't hurt you, what's your name? Where are you from?"

Airl frowned slightly, squatted down, and asked softly in a gentle tone.

But no matter how he asked, the beggar looked extremely panicked.The only thing he can do seems to be to kowtow to Airl, praying for something.

Seeing that it was impossible to ask any more questions, Airl sighed helplessly, stood up and said, "You said he...doesn't smell like a human being?"

Chapter 450 The Most Hateful Person

Cheese frowned slightly and sniffed hard now, and said, "It didn't feel like it just now, but now it feels very ordinary. Well...except for the smell of him who hasn't bathed in months. Humans , that is, human beings are right.”

Since nothing can be asked now, there is no need for Airl to say anything more.He walked to the side of the cheese, broke off a small piece from the big piece of cheese, and put it into the hand of the beggar who kept crying and begging for mercy, and said, "If you calm down a little, you can go to the mayor of our town, Yuan Yuan." Cheese. If you have any troubles, you can also come to our Mermaid Song Guild. Do you understand?"

It's a pity that although Airl's tone is still so gentle, even though the beggar is already holding a piece of cheese in his hand, he is still as panicked as before.

Ai Luo could only sigh and waved at Cheese: "Let's go, let's go home."

After the cheese nodded slightly, he followed the president and walked in the direction of the guild.After walking out of a street, he occasionally turned his head and looked over there, only to see that the beggar was still kneeling there in horror, and the cheese in his hand did not move a bite.Seeing this, he could only helplessly shake his head and stop talking to her.

——1303年1月1日，学生费：3金6银，学生餐费：-1金2银，木枪修理费：-2铜，伙食费：-2铜4铁，结余：8金6银4铜4铁——

Earlier, Rhea said that the food cost of Cheese was more expensive, and Ai Luo still didn't quite believe it.

But after just a few days of practice, he began to understand what a terrible idiot he had brought back!

Yes, that's right!There is not much cheese to eat.Compared with Brad, who keeps stuffing bread into his mouth, Cheese not only doesn't eat much, but also eats less.

However, he ate very delicately, and there was also some very wonderful high taste in it.

Others eat a little toast with a glass of milk and some cheese or vegetable soup for a meal.But this Night Clan can't eat vegetarian dishes!

That's right, he can't be a vegetarian!

This also means that every meal of Arrow has to go to the whole town to find someone who kills poultry and livestock and bled them, or takes out the liver and returns them for processing.

At the beginning, other townspeople can provide it for free, but you can't give it like this every day?Airl asked for it a few times, but after being embarrassed, he finally started to spend money. The result was that the food cost skyrocketed!Before Cheese came, he only needed to spend 2 coppers and 4 irons for food every day, but after he came, he needed to spend 3 coppers and 4 irons for food!

"Damn it. I haven't figured out what to do with my income, but my expenses have increased instead?"

Airl looked at the account book in his hand, the expression on his face was not to mention ugly.

Seeing that the final time limit is less than a year, but now my deposit has turned into single digits!

what to doNow things in the guild are getting more and more troublesome. If you really want to discuss it, maybe your own money problem is the easiest thing, right?

Looking at the account book in front of him, Ai Luo couldn't help licking his lips, and said to himself: "Why don't you... start using pyramid schemes..."

Napa on the side suddenly noticed a little uneasiness in her thoughts, and then raised her head to look at Ai Luo, who was frowning at the account, and said, "Hey, what do you want to do?"

Airl was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that his mind had been penetrated by the cat.He shook his head hastily, dispersed the thoughts in his mind, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I thought of some business methods that I saw in the book."

"Think of the business method? If it's just a business method, then why did I feel that you had a disgusting feeling just now? Does this business method need to be connected to the sewer?"

This cat is so cute, Elo feels that when he feels irritable, he just needs to hug it and rub it a little, so that he can fully vent the pressure in his heart.

Of course, Napa immediately retreated into the cat house after realizing Airl's thoughts, and said: "Forget it, I don't understand your human business methods anyway, so you can do whatever you want. The recess time will be over." It's over, I'll go to the back first."

Saying goodbye to Napa, Airl continued to look at the accounts in his hand.

All kinds of places need money... Cheese's double guns also need money, but I don't know if it's luck or misfortune. There is no place in Pelican Town where he can repair his two short guns.The owner of the long stick said that he had never seen this kind of short gun with a trigger pull, so he could not repair it.At least the money in this area doesn't have to go out for the time being... Alas, there is also the problem of bullets. If this shooter is really going to play, the problem of bullets will also be a big problem.A small guild like myself doesn't have that much money for him to fire a dozen or twenty shots for a single mission.

Airl patted his head, hesitating and thinking constantly.

Just when he was having a splitting headache, he didn't realize that someone was quietly walking into the gate of the guild, and was now tiptoing towards Airl.

Airl was always looking at the accounts, and when the man stood completely in front of him, and the shadow completely covered the accounts on the table...

"President Airl, long time no see!"

"Wow--!"

Airl was taken aback, and instinctively clutched his chest and jumped back!He slammed his back against the shelf behind him, gasped for breath, and looked nervously at the person coming.

"Ouch! Are you okay? I'm sorry, I thought you deliberately pretended that you couldn't see me! President Arrow, please stay safe!"

Gathering his mind, Airl narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.When he was sure who the person in front of him was, a feeling of even more unhappiness crept into his heart in an instant.

"I had a headache at first. But you know what? The moment I saw you, my head felt like it was about to split open, and it hurt so badly."

The visitor laughed, turned around and sat down on the sofa in the rest area next to him, and said with a smile, "Understood, you are not the first boss who said he would get a headache when he saw me. I believe it will definitely not be the last. I heard that you took your employees on a trip two months ago? What a good boss~~~! If possible, I would also like to have such a good boss as you."

This person is wearing a set of large robes specially designed for the national taxation authority, and the cheerful smile on his face is like a spring breeze!

But it’s not wrong, this person is the kind of person that many merchants will feel very headache when they see it, and at this point, the one that makes Airl feel even more headache——

The tax officer of the national tax authority of the Blue Bay Empire.

After a year, the tax officer looks a little thin, but overall he still looks very strong.

He nodded at Ai Luo and said with a smile: "Oh, when I came last year, I saw that your Mermaid Song was closed. At first, I just wanted to check the accounts and leave, but the pet raised by your guild They don’t let me investigate, saying that it doesn’t touch our human taxation, for fear that I will deduct more money from your guild. Haha! Is this possible? I, the tax officer of the important tax agency of the Blue Bay Empire! I am the best in my life The most important thing is that all the accounts I have sorted out are all clear and clean! How could you deliberately deduct more money from your guild? Haha! How is it possible?"

Arrow laughed dryly.

After all, compared to sugar-coated wine, he felt that the tax official was the last person he wanted to see right now.

After entering the kitchen, I put some tea and put it in front of the tax officer. Ai Luo smiled wryly and said, "I really didn't expect you to come at this time, Mr. Tax Officer? Hmm... what's the matter? If it's tax calculation, it's early Is it already past the tax season? If you want to pay taxes, you can wait until this autumn..."

"No! It's okay!"

The tax officer took a sip of the tea, and the smiling face made Airl feel a little sick... although he knew that this was his problem and had nothing to do with the tax officer.

"Originally, I also wanted to come back this fall. But some time ago, after I completed my tax calculation in Lagoon City, the Viscount Norris of Lagoon City asked me to stay in the city for a few more days, saying that he would treat me well. I am a Well, of course it’s impossible to accept other people’s invitations casually! After all, what we fear most in this kind of work is encountering such unexplainable things!”

"But then Viscount Norris told me that as long as I stay with him for a few more days, maybe I will be able to see your guild come back soon, and then we will be able to calculate taxes together! I thought about it, and I think it's okay. !Anyway, when I finish the taxation of these towns, there are still five or six days before the Holy Night Festival, so I just thought about staying here for a few days."

"Unexpectedly, after the Holy Night Festival, Viscount Norris immediately told me that you Song of the Mermaid is back! This is great, since you are all back, I will come again! And I think about the second half of this year Isn't Hanhai City going to hold a guild championship match? I think you Song of the Mermaid might also participate, and then you won't be able to remember the tax, so it's better for me to calculate first this time."

I see, so this is what that fellow Norris called a "gift"?

Hehe, it's really interesting, so interesting that Airl wants to tear that face into pieces!No matter how bad it is, I have to use my nails to draw a few more nail marks on his sneering face!

By the way, let Napa catch that guy?How about some more strokes on that guy's face?That must be fine, right? !Hahaha!

"President Ai Luo? President Ai Luo? What are you laughing at? Did you think of any happy things? Did you get rich this year, or did you fall in love with a girl from someone else and want to get married? Tell me about it? After all, we are friends."

Chapter 450 On the Edge of Bankruptcy

When Airl came back to his senses, he saw that the tax official was looking at him expectantly.

As for...friends?Hehe, there are no friends in front of money.What's more, the current tax official is simply a demon from the gold coin hell to Airl, who is here to devour his little wealth!

After adjusting his mentality a little, Airl let out a long breath, let his face be filled with a smile again, and said slowly: "Oh, my lord, the tax officer, I see what you said. Where did you make money? In the past year I’ve lost all my money and gone home.”

Hearing what Ai Luo said, the tax official was slightly taken aback with a smile on his face, but he quickly recovered and said cheerfully: "President Ai Luo, you are the one who likes to joke. Your guild is so beautifully decorated now, Why are you still telling me that you have no money? I think..."

He paused for a moment—

"You should be different from those unscrupulous bosses who plan to evade taxes after making a lot of money, and use various means to avoid or underpay taxes..., right?"

The tax collector is laughing...he's smiling at Arrow with his eyes squinted!

This kind of smile is really terrifying, this guy may not be a bad person, but this guy is definitely a natural qualified tax officer! "Hahaha! Of course! Our President Airol is definitely not that kind of scumbag! Then without further ado, let's quickly sort out the accounts of Mermaid Song last year? I think this matter is still very important. After sorting it out, I still have some things I want to discuss with you, President~~~!"

No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless, everything is laid out in front of you now.

The corner of Airl's mouth twitched slightly, and at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and take out all the accounts of the past year, and placed them in front of the tax official one by one.

And the tax official also sorted out very diligently, picked it up and started to look it up.It seems that there is no intention of being lazy or looking at ten lines at all.

Every time I see how conscientious the country's civil servants are now, Ai Luo really has a feeling in his heart...I can't tell whether I should cry or laugh.

"Every time I see President Airl's accounts, I feel very relaxed, so clean and tidy! Oh, I really want to ask President Airl to do all the accounts of all the cities in your marginal provinces! In that case Maybe I can solve all the towns in one day!"

There was a smile on the corner of Airl's mouth, but he was already cursing loudly in his heart.In the middle of cursing, Napa suddenly came out from behind: "Ai Luo, why do you have such a deep obsession with other people's mothers?"

"roll!"

Simple, crisp words, Airl didn't need to give Napa a good face, and directly sent it back to the classroom.

The tax official raised his head, with question marks all over his face, looking at Airl with an expression of waiting for an answer.But after seeing Airl continue to smile gently at himself, he also smiled cheerfully, lowered his head and continued to check the accounts.

After about an hour, the tax official finally checked out all the accounts from September 1301 to September 9.It took him a few minutes to make a statistic, and he said with a smile: "It's really convenient and easy. Then President Arrow, let's count your total revenue and the taxes you should pay for the last tax year Let's go." "First of all, your total income in the last tax year was 1302 gold, 9 copper and 1240 iron, and the total income at the opening was 4 gold, 1 silver and 750 copper. Let's calculate the opening tax first. According to the tax regulations of the Blue Bay Empire, The tax quota for the gambling industry is 1%, so the calculated tax amount for this part is 3 gold, 67 silver, 502 copper and 5 iron. You have been saving this part of the opening tax with the mayor of the round cheese, so I have already paid for this money Got it, you can press it and not say anything."

"Then there is your tax quota of 734 gold, 4 copper and 1 iron in the previous tax year. The tax quota of a normal guild is 15% of the previous tax year's revenue. Then we will calculate your tax exemption quota."

"You still belong to a new guild opened within three years, so you can enjoy 5% of the new guild tax exemption. Moreover, your guild has successfully hired more than 5 adventurers in the last tax year, and you can enjoy an additional 5% social tax The idler tax cut system."

"There are still children under the age of 14 in your guild, so according to the law, a 1% child childhood compensation tax for a child needs to be levied."

"Your guild is still stationed in an area where there is no regular imperial army defense force stationed, so you can enjoy an additional 3% reduction in additional force tax reduction."

"Last year, Pelican Town's economy seemed to have developed by leaps and bounds. Mermaid Song's contribution to this development process can be said to be indispensible, so it can enjoy an additional 5% bustling town tax reduction."

"Then, because your revenue in the previous tax year was significantly more than 100% of the previous tax year, you need to pay a huge wealth tax of 10%."

“经过以上的计算，核算得出您上一计税年度的税收额度为13%，换算下来您的税收也就是95金4银2铜5铁。”

With a plop, Airl's head was thrown back, and the whole person collapsed on the floor behind him.
