The speed of the flamingo is very fast, it can even be said to be lightning fast, and the distance of hundreds of meters has passed in an instant. In the high altitude, Lin Feng only felt a strong wind blowing by, while the scenery on the ground was constantly changing.
It keeps changing, and according to the speed of the flamingo, it is absolutely certain that we will reach Qingshi Mountain before dark.
After more than an hour's flight, the sun had not yet set, and the flamingos took Lin Feng and others to Qingshi Mountain. There were beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and more importantly, it was the place where Lin Feng grew up.
"Finally back." After jumping off the flamingo's body, Lin Feng felt excited in his heart. Xiao Bai beside Lin Feng also shouted to the sky to show that his mood was as excited as Lin Feng's.
"Kill them. They levy such a heavy tax and let us live?"
"That's right, do you really think we are easy to bully? Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. He is a human being."
"Where is this tax? This is obviously life-threatening." Lin Feng and the others heard such voices as soon as they came down, which made Lin Feng couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, that something happened, but
Lin Feng felt lucky again in his heart, that is, he arrived in time and the matter had not reached the point of irreversibility.
"Humph, this taxation is an order from the king. Either pay the tax or get out, otherwise you are resisting the tax, you are resisting, you are rebelling and causing chaos. What is waiting for you will be a conquest by our army. When the time comes, you will
You know the consequences." Before those people's voices could fall, an extremely tyrannical voice rang out, not allowing those people to defend themselves at all.
"My lords, it is okay to increase taxes, and we are willing to pay, but the tax cannot be increased too outrageously. If the previous 40% becomes 90%, then we will no longer be able to live. What do you think about increasing it to 60%?
"Lin Feng is very familiar with this voice. It is exactly the voice of Lin Yunfei. Also, his father is definitely the strongest around Qingshi Mountain. Therefore, his father must be the leader when it comes to negotiating this matter. This is
There is no doubt about it.
"Sixty percent? That's not a good idea. His Majesty the King decides how much tax we should fight for. It's useless for you to tell me. If you have the ability, go and talk to Your Majesty." Lin Yunfei's proposal was not agreed to, and the man continued:
"Qingshi Mountain is a good place. There are so many wild beasts in it. If you work hard, there will be no problem in feeding yourself with 10% of it."
"I wonder how other places in the Deke Kingdom collect taxes?" As soon as the man's voice fell, a strange voice rang out. Everyone's eyes were looking towards the source of the voice. Both parties wanted to know.
Who is speaking.
But when their eyes swept over the person who was walking towards him, they didn't recognize him. Only Lin Yunfei had a smile on his face when he saw the person coming.
"The standard for taxation in other places is 30%." The tax collector turned his head and looked at Lin Feng and replied.
"Thirty percent? Then our fourth percentile here is high enough, why do we have to raise it to 90%?" Lin Feng asked coldly.
"It will be good if His Majesty the King allows you a place to survive. It is normal for the tax to be higher." The official who collected the tax answered unhurriedly. The soldiers he brought looked at them like idiots.
Looking at Lin Feng, it means that if you don’t look at who you are, can the two parties be the same?
"I heard His Majesty the King said that we should be treated equally. According to him, we should be taxed 30%." Lin Feng ignored those looks. Those soldiers seemed to have been brainwashed, otherwise they would not be able to view the problem differently.
After consideration.
"When did His Majesty the King say such a thing? How come I didn't know it?" The tax collecting official turned his head and looked at Lin Feng as if, which meant that Lin Feng was obviously lying.
"Ten days ago, His Majesty and I sat together to watch Emperor Qin's performance. At that time, His Majesty the King said that we are also his people, and he will treat his people equally. If you don't believe it, you can ask the king.
Your Majesty, if what I say is true, then this tax increase will be waived. If what I say is false, then I will be here and at your disposal." Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"This?" The tax collector was stunned. He knew by feeling that His Majesty the King should have said that, but it was just a scene. However, when the scene was spoken, it made him very embarrassed. If you don't listen, then after all
It's His Majesty the King's words. As a minister, how can you not listen to the order? Just listen, this is obviously not His Majesty the King's intention. If he listens to it, he will definitely be blamed by His Majesty the King. This makes him very embarrassed. He is not sure.
idea.
"This tax increase is stipulated by law and has been stamped by His Majesty the King, but what you said was casually said by His Majesty the King, and the effect is definitely different. So the tax still has to be increased." The tax official thought for a while and then
I came up with an idea, that is, he acted according to the high efficiency.
"Haha, if that's the case, then we accept it. I wonder how long this tax increase will take?" Lin Feng asked casually. Lin Feng knew that this tax increase was a prelude to action, and he also wanted to use this to trick the Deke Kingdom.
Approximate time to take action.
"Five years, His Majesty the King is talking about five years. At that time, we will see the specific situation to see whether it is an increase or a decrease." The tax official quickly replied. After this period of observation, he felt that Lin Feng was definitely not simple, so
, when speaking, the tone is not condescending like that towards other people.
"Five years? That means we will definitely take action in less than five years." Lin Feng thought in his heart. Lin Feng also guessed what His Majesty the King meant, and asked them to guess that it was five years, and then suddenly started taking action in advance.
Catch them off guard. Because that Sartre is not stupid and will not let others know his true intentions easily.
"Feng'er, why did you agree directly?" Hearing that Lin Feng agreed to the 90% tax, Lin Yunfei couldn't help but shake his head. They didn't have much leftover to begin with, and if it increased to 90%, would they still be able to live?
It is really difficult to fill the remaining 10%.
"Father, don't worry, I have my own opinion." Lin Feng replied with a smile to Lin Yunfei, then turned his head and asked the tax official: "Five years of tax, all the people in the three mountains add up to five years."
