Not long after the market on Martin Street left, the sky gradually darkened.

The security team member on duty at the gate of the town yawned, stuck his head out of the window, and looked eagerly in the direction of the main road in the town.

The weather in August is really too hot. After enduring the sweltering heat for a whole day in the duty station, when it suddenly cools down at dusk, people will feel sleepy... This team member can't wait to change duty and get off work.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing the uniformed person coming over, the security guard was full of complaints: "Kelly and Sandy are always procrastinating, and it takes more time to change shifts with them. Waiting for half a day is enough! Hey, Jimmy, why don't you find someone else to change the shift?"

Jimmy, who also just finished yawning, squinted at his partner: "Come on, who didn't delay for a long time when they came here to exchange value? We didn't see each other in time when we came here at noon."

In the past, the town gate rotation was a hot job, especially during the time period from afternoon to midnight, people with insufficient qualifications would never even dream of being able to be in the queue.

Now, it's the turn of the town gate that no one likes to do the job...

Boring and stupidly staying on duty at the gate for several hours, you are not allowed to walk around and leave the post without permission, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you are not allowed to beat and scold passers-by, and you are not allowed to behave frivolously-what do you think of them, stakes?

Although there are disgusting regulations such as no drinking, no beating and scolding passers-by, no extortion, no eating and drinking, etc., when patrolling in the town, at least you can walk around and chat with acquaintances, which is not as boring as here at the gate of the town.

Jimmy also doesn't like to stay at the town gate. When he and his partner are not on this most uncomfortable duty, he likes to wander around the construction sites in the middle of the town... There is nothing better than seeing the places he once hated being destroyed little by little, It would be more pleasant to be wiped out and changed beyond recognition.

Occasionally, he would also go to the small streets and alleys in the living area to appreciate how embarrassing and ugly the clients who were guarded by the undead digging the stinky gutters were.

Jimmy hated the red-light district, hated the prostitutes, and even more hated the clients.

When he was young, he was ignorant. When his father took away the family's living expenses and went to buy a woman, he only hated his incompetent father for dragging the family down, causing the whole family to eat boiled potatoes that didn't even taste much salt for nearly two months.By the time he's grown up and knows what's going on, he can't even remember using the same spoon as his father.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The partner who was leaning on the duty post and looking around suddenly pointed to the direction outside the town and shouted, "Look, Jimmy, isn't that Simon and his gang?"

Jimmy quickly went to the window of the duty station to look out.

Sure enough, on the road outside the town, a large group of dusty faces came, and who were the leading ones who were not Simon and Alan?

Yesterday, Jimmy and his partner were tasked with maintaining order and patrolling the avenues in the town. When they wandered to the living area in the north, they saw the neighbors in the neighborhood making noise. After asking, they found out that it was Simon and those boys who dared to ask the new lord for credit. Doing business, almost frightened the eyeballs.

The reactions of most of the neighbors were similar to theirs. Those who had a better relationship with Simon’s family kindly advised them to take their children to apologize to Mr. Rex and return the cloth, so as not to cause more trouble.

When he got home from get off work in the evening, Jimmy heard from his wife that the family had asked many people for help, gathered a large group of people and rushed to transport the cloth away before noon, and told his wife that he would be stricter with the children in the future , lest the children gossip about causing trouble at home when they grow up.

This year, how can business be so easy to do?

It’s worth it only in the local area, rashly taking valuables to other places, not to mention making money, if people can come back alive, they must be counted as the protection of the gold coin lady, anyway, Jimmy is not at all optimistic about this.

But at this moment...Jimmy was surprised to find that Simon and the others did not seem to have been robbed or attacked. Although the twenty or so people were all dusty and distressed, they all seemed to be in good spirits; Benjamin The kid saw him and waved his hands excitedly.

When they got closer to the town gate, Jimmy and his partner couldn't help but come out of the duty post, and looked curiously at the two steel-framed tricycles they were protecting in the crowd...

The stuffed cloth was gone, and only the rain-proof tarpaulin hung loosely in the trunk.

"You guys sold them all?" Jimmy said in disbelief.

"Hey, yeah, they're all sold out!" Simon, Alan, Caroline, and Benjamin, who approached, smiled so much that only their big white teeth could be seen on their entire faces.

"No trouble? Those foreigners didn't embarrass you?" Jimmy's partner said in surprise.

"Of course I did, but—ah, Dad, what are you doing?" Benjamin beamed and wanted to show off, but at the critical moment, his father pulled him from behind, and then changed the subject.

Simon glared at Benjamin, and smiled at Jimmy: "We still have to go to the town hall, and we'll talk later." He hurriedly led the team into town without giving Jimmy two chances to ask questions.

Jimmy's partner was so curious that he chased him for a few steps and wanted to ask, so Jimmy pulled him back.

"I just asked how they solved the trouble, can't you say that, it's too stingy!" The partner said unconvinced.

"Come on, didn't they make it clear that they don't want to talk about it, so don't be annoying." Jimmy waved his hands.

Everyone knows that the undead cloth that the new lord sells to everyone can sell for a good price outside, but why no one thinks about doing the resale business? Is it because everyone else is stupid?

Since Simon and the others have a way to sell the cloth safely, they will certainly not be willing to tell others.

On the other side, they were forced to go to Liangshan... The four families who were forced to join the "short-distance caravan" and their relatives and friends entered the town without rushing to leave or talking to the curious neighbors they met on the road. government hall.

Rex, who had just returned to the town hall, heard Simon and others coming to pay for the goods before he had time to catch his breath, and hurried out of the office.

Seeing the more than 20 townspeople standing in the courtyard covered in dust, many of whom could barely see their faces, Rex couldn't laugh or cry: "Did you come back just now? Don't be so anxious, go home and rest and wait for tomorrow It’s okay to come again.”

The four young people smiled shyly and didn't answer the question... none of them had ever had access to so much money, and others were worried about where they put it. They were all afraid that the money would be lost and everyone would not be able to pay the payment ——Since walking back, everyone dared not take their eyes off the two tricycles even when they peed for more than ten hours.

Seeing that they were all nervous, Rex quickly waved to two clerks to count the money and settle the bills—the bottoms of the buckets of the two tricycles were full of copper coins, but they knew how to cover them with tarpaulins casually. There was nothing in the trunk; but a group of people surrounded the two vehicles tightly, and something would have to happen if they were to be seen by experienced thieves.

The two carts of fabric that Rex gave to four young people on credit consisted of thirty rolls, each 60 meters long.

Because these cloth rolls are hand-cut and retailed by the meter, there may be some errors in the cutting process, and each roll of Blakes is only calculated as 59 meters.

The four young people and their families, relatives and friends worked hard for two days and one night, and exchanged the thirty rolls of cloth for more than 600 copper coins.

Copper coins in circulation in the market have complex sources, private casting by nobles, and private casting by churches. The weight is not stable, usually around [-] to [-] grams, and they are not pure copper. They always contain [-] to [-] percent of other metals. .

Even so, this is a total of more than 300 kilograms of copper coins...

With so many copper coins escorted by more than [-] ordinary townspeople, it is no wonder that they entered the town without even daring to go home, and came directly to the town hall...

The two clerks, Garrex, used the copper coin counting box (put the copper coins in and slide down along the track inside the box, and piled up ten or twenty stacks of special tools for counting coins) to put the more than 300 kilograms of copper coins. After counting, Rex, who knows how to count, used a pen and paper to make calculations. He worked hard until it was completely dark and the wind lamp was lit before dividing the copper coins into two piles.

Pointing to the pile of money on the left, Rex said: "Thirty rolls of cloth are calculated as 59 meters per roll, a total of 1770 meters, and the price on credit for each meter is ten coppers, and the total price is [-] coppers. This pile of money is considered to have paid off the credit owed."

More than 20 townspeople nodded in unison.

Rex pointed to the pile of money on the right and said, "The rest of the money is your profit. The amount of this pile of money is 860 taels of copper."

More than 20 townspeople stared blankly at Rex.

The money figure is too big for them to react.

"One, more than 7000..." Caroline murmured blankly, dreaming, "Exchanging, exchanging for silver coins, it would be more than 170... for gold coins, it would be seventeen gold coins—Ms. Gold Coins Ah, did we earn seventeen ducats?"

"Yes." Rex nodded, approvingly, "This is all your hard work, and you have done a good job."

Caroline looked dull, and Allen, who was standing next to him, suddenly fell down softly...

Rex quickly reached out and grabbed Alan's arm, and carried the young man who was dizzy from the impact into the tricycle seat, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be too happy too early, forget that I, the lord, is still here!" Is it here? If you earn more than [-] copper coins per month, you will have to pay high-income income tax, so don’t say you want to evade taxes in front of me, right?”

The four young men were shocked and shook their heads again and again to express their fear.

At this time, Caroline suddenly let out an "ah" and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Rex looked over.

"No...it's nothing." Caroline looked weird, as if she wanted to laugh wildly in excitement, but she was a little bit dumbfounded.

A few days ago, Caroline just told her mother that few people need to pay taxes at such a high tax point. She never thought that she would think about paying taxes now...

Rex is willing to see smart and brave young people making money, but no matter how much the young people he likes make money, he will not be lenient in collecting taxes. He has no intention of letting go of these four upstart young people , caught them on the spot and settled the tax first...

The new tax decree of the Westham Territory stipulates that the taxation of personal income stipulates that if the monthly income exceeds 1800 copper coins, a high-income income tax will be levied, and the tax rate is 6%.

If the monthly income or single income exceeds 12 copper coins, the tax rate is mentioned at [-]%.

If the monthly income or single income exceeds 14 copper coins, the tax rate is [-]%.

The four young people made more than 7000 yuan in business together, and the proper personal tax is in the second tier, which requires paying 12% of the profit. Rex took 2143 copper coins without mercy...

Looking at the instantly pale faces of the four young men and their families, as if they were suffering from heart-breaking pain, Rex half-jokingly said: "Do you start to regret bringing all the income here? If you knew it, you would hide it. Are you alright?"

"No, no." Caroline reluctantly said.

Rex smiled slightly: "The goods are taken from me, and how much you can sell them for after taking them out, you just need to calculate the account. If the account difference is too outrageous, the clerks of the town hall will find you and request Reconciled."

The four young men were shocked, and they were a lot more honest...Isn't it true that they can be more powerful than Mr. Rex when they calculate?

"After paying the tax, the money is your legal income. You can discuss and distribute it yourself." After scaring them a little, Rex said again, "I believe that you know that doing business is risky after you have made this trip. Yes, money is not so easy to earn, don’t spend the money you earn so hard, and always keep the capital, the good thing of getting the goods first and paying later will not be there next time.”

"Understood." The four young men nodded obediently.

"Go back and rest." Rex waved his hand, "Take a few days off and seriously think about what to do in the future. Shirley, bring them a few bags of money."

A group of people walked out of the town hall with several bags of coins on their shoulders. The cool evening wind blew on their faces. The faces of the people who were distressed about being confiscated with more than 2000 copper coins were once again filled with joy...

"Mr. Rex is such a good man, he actually gave us cloth on credit and made us so much money." Benjamin, the youngest in the grade, couldn't hold back his excitement.

"There is no next time. If we want to do this business again, we have to pay for it ourselves." Caroline said.

"I said, let's not divide the money, how about doing business together?" Alan, who was flushed with excitement, suggested.

The family members had different expressions, some agreed, and some felt that their children would always feel unsafe if they didn’t get any money, but no one interfered with the decision of the four young people.

The reaction of these family members and friends is not surprising—when the younger generation shows abilities that far exceed the elders, especially in terms of making money, the more money they make, the more reverent the elders will be towards the younger generation.

The four young people not only dared to ask the lord to do business with cloth on credit, but also succeeded in doing so, earning money that they could not have earned in ten years. Adjust the status of both parties and put yourself on the side that obeys orders.

This is a very normal phenomenon, the lower the level, the more so.

Why are the sons and daughters who have made a lot of money still being played and applauded by the elders? Either they only exist in novels, or the sons and daughters who have made a lot of money are actually not good at themselves. Bonus——A person who can excel in a certain field and turn his ability into money will never be so weak that he will obey the elders who are backward in thinking.

When Benjamin almost exposed the business experience that the four of them had figured out by themselves, his father stopped him by pulling his clothes instead of yelling loudly in front of outsiders, which is enough to prove the strong relationship between their father and son reversal.

"The money still needs to be divided." Simon thought for a while, and said, "Let's first pay for the hard work of the relatives who came to help, and then divide the money equally. Pay the same amount and continue to do this business.”

"Okay, I support it." Caroline immediately said, "Next time I suggest that we don't go to the village we visited before. The people there have bought cloth, and they won't be able to spend much money if we go again. We should change it. place to sell cloth."

"I think so too." Benjamin nodded vigorously, "This time we went to the village in the south of Inadoli, next time we will walk a little longer and go to the north, shall we?"

Allen's eyes lit up, and he said: "It just so happens that I know a person from the village north of Innatrix, and he should be doing odd jobs and running errands in a tavern in the warehouse area of ​​Innatrix. We asked Bosha to give He delivered a letter, hired him for three days, and let him lead the way when we were going to the village to the north."

"Is this man reliable?" Caroline asked.

"Unreliable, but he's not very smart... stupid. Let's keep him from knowing what we're up to."

More than 20 people walked on Westham Street at night, using the lights of the houses, to go to the living area in the north; along the way, there were only four young people discussing in low voices, and their families, relatives and friends were all just quiet followed behind them.

Allen's house is the most spacious, and they decided to go to Allen's house to share the money first.

On the way, an undead saw them, and silently leaned over to escort them for a while, and did not leave until they entered Allen's house.

Caroline looked back at the undead who left without a sound, and said regretfully: "It would be great if there were undead with us to sell cloth. With them, we don't know how much trouble we can save."

"You dare to dream, Caroline!" Benjamin laughed.

The beluga, who walked away, hugged his chest and meditated while walking.

Why can't Westem's NPC trigger the hidden mission no matter what?

Late at night, Caroline returned to her home under the protection of an uncle, two cousins, and an aunt. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Ms. Winnie, who had been waiting for a long time, ran out of the house excitedly and hugged her daughter vigorously.

Welcoming the relatives into the home, Caroline's second aunt said to Winnie with emotion after seeing her child: "Winnie, Caroline has grown up and is capable. We are really the only one in our family. Caroline is the most capable, and her uncles and cousins ​​are not as good as her."

Caroline's uncle and two cousins ​​nodded happily, agreeing with their aunt's praise of Caroline.

Caroline's uncle said proudly: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, Winnie, Caroline dared to talk to Mr. Rex face to face, no wonder they young people dared to talk to Mr. Rex Caroline is really amazing."

"Stop talking like that, she's not even married, she's still a child." Ms. Winnie said, clutching her chest, "I haven't felt at ease for a moment since yesterday, these children are really worrying ... Caroline, you have to stay away from Simon and the others in the future, and if you fool around with them, how will you marry?"

Caroline didn't argue with her mother, she put the bag she was carrying on the table, opened the bag, and let her see the copper coins inside.

Winnie's rambling stopped abruptly.

After staying there for a while, Winnie reached out tremblingly to touch the coins in the bag...

"Why, how can there be so much money?" Ms. Winnie, who had been a housewife all her life, turned pale with fright, and looked at her daughter in horror.

"It's earned, Mom, can it still be picked?" Caroline was very proud, "We sold the cloth to many villages south of Innadri, and even made a deal with the servants in the manor We have already settled the payment for Mr. Rex, paid the taxes that should be paid, and divided the wages of my aunt and the others, all of which are my share!"

Ms. Winnie couldn't help turning her questioning gaze to Caroline's uncle and her younger brother.

Caroline's uncle nodded vigorously, and said with a beaming smile, "It's the real Winnie. Those cloths were successfully sold and exchanged for money. Each of us got two hundred copper coins, two hundred!" , and pulled his jacket away to let Winnie see the heavy inner pocket of his jacket.

Miss Winnie put her hand over her mouth.

After just running around for two days, each person can get 200 copper coins. This is indeed quite a generous reward, which is as good as others who have worked for a week—and it must be the premise of finding a job to do.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry that I can only give you so much at the moment, because the money we've got now will be used as capital." Caroline tied the bag tightly and said apologetically, "Mr. Give it to us, next time we need to pay for the purchase, and we need to get more cloth to make a profit."

The uncle quickly said: "I know, we all know Caroline, we are already very satisfied with getting so much, how could it be too little?"

"Yeah, where do we come from to pick and choose? You and Mr. Rex got the cloth on credit, and you tried to avoid danger and sell the cloth safely. If it weren't for you, We have no chance to encounter such a good thing." The aunt said earnestly, "Next time if your uncle comes back, let him go with you, it's better than me."

Ms. Winnie noticed that her brother and sister-in-law respected her daughter quite a lot in terms of attitude and words, and covered their mouths with their hands in disbelief.

When she looked at her daughter again, Winnie suddenly discovered that her daughter was indeed different from before... She was so confident, calm, and firm, and even the dust all over her body could not cover her expression.

Winnie took two steps forward and hugged her daughter tightly again.

Her little angel has grown so big unconsciously.

The family background of Simon’s family is the worst among the four friends. His father could not afford to buy stone bricks and wood when renovating the old house. Also only use bamboo and thatch to solve.

When Simon came back with a bag of money, the whole family waited for him in the yard like a hero.

After celebrating for a long time with crying and laughing, and seeing off the relatives who came to help, after closing the door, Simon's mother asked with concern: "After you left, I heard people on the street say that there are often robberies of passers-by in distant villages." I'm really worried about the matter... Is your journey going well?"

Simon smiled frankly and said honestly: "There are indeed some things, Mom, but don't worry, we have worked in Innatrix for so many years, we have heard a lot of such things, of course we will not be unprepared. "

"We didn't bring all the goods into the village to sell. In that case, it would be strange if the people in the village didn't gather together to grab them. We always hide the cars and cloths outside first, select a few people to enter the village, and find those who have old people and The children's family asked them privately if they wanted to buy cheap and good fabrics, the quantity is not very large, if you want to buy it, you have to hurry up, otherwise we have to ask the next family..."
