Chapter 54 (1/2)
From a macro point of view, any human activity is economy oriented.
It is precisely because of economic development that there will be classes and landlords. With this development, there will be nobles and emperors ruling the whole country.
As a royal family, in addition to the dignity of status, the most important thing is to ensure their own wealth.
A poor but empty royal family with titles may be able to survive and be loved at least by the people in its territory. But once such a royal family encounters the aggression of other countries, it will fall down immediately. After all, those farmers will not protect you or even sacrifice their lives because you are a royal family.
Therefore, tax is one of the income of a country's basic property.
Perhaps for some countries, taxes are not the main source of finance. But it's definitely a basic part.
To put it bluntly, it's all about gold coins. Money is easy to discuss. If you don't have money, no matter what royal family you are, even demon or Protoss, you can't have any impact on any human activities in the world.
Since October, arrow has been carefully calculating his guild's property income every day.
After two months of operation, he has been convinced that if he works only with the task entrustment of Pelican Town, his income is very small. Although generally speaking, it can maintain the operation without loss, it is impossible to earn 1000 gold coins in the holy night sacrifice three years later.
These days, he is also worried. He is afraid that some big man will follow the trail of the iron wolf to find here and trouble them.
But he also had some expectations that someone would come, because there was no doubt about the gold bullion Merlin took away. In Merlin... Or, some big master behind the real eye must have started planning some action. Whether we can get a free ride of these actions is the key to our own development!
Unfortunately, no one came these days, whether good or bad. Everything seemed very calm, as if no one cared about the iron wolf and the gold.
While making accounts, arrow looked up at the sky outside.
Or... Organize another adventure into the mine?
The idea had just risen from Arrow's head and was immediately extinguished by his reason.
The level of the mine is still a little high for the mermaid song. At least, if you can go to the nearest big city to build some swords and spears
Forget it, No.
Ello raised his account book again, checked it up and down again, then nodded, closed it, and walked out of the door.
The weather has begun to turn cool. With the decrease of temperature, there are fewer stalls in the central square.
If you really want to sell things, the first month of autumn is enough for people to sell out a lot of things. Next, Pelican town is greeted by a quiet winter. Therefore, the reduction of stalls is also expected.
Cross the square and walk down the street to the mayor's residence of the mayor of round cheese. Arrow gently knocks the door. When the mayor saw it was arrow through the window, he immediately ran to open the door happily.
”Boss, business is booming!”
Arrow smiled, and so did cheese.
”Hahaha! Business is booming, everyone is booming! President arrow, I'm preparing meals for your students this month! ”
Of course, ello could hear the subtext. Then he lifted his wallet and shook it. He smiled and said, ”of course, isn't this? I'm here to pay for the board, too. ”
With money, it's easy to say anything.
Round cheese happily brought arrow into the living room, and his wife handed him a cup of tea.
”Here, here are the meals for the students in October. You see, one iron coin per person per day, thirty days and forty people, a total of 1 gold and 2 silver. ”
Arrow took out a gold coin and two silver coins from his pocket and put them in front of the round cheese. The mayor couldn't close his mouth with a smile and nodded again and again. His two hands slightly stained with flour quickly put the three coins into his arms, weighed them gently, and laughed more happily.
”Oh, for the education of Pelican Town, it should be! Did you have lunch? Why don't you go after lunch! Come on, honey! Let's prepare lunch quickly! ”
