Caroso has an extra ring on his hand, which makes several people's hearts extremely heavy.
Especially Tig, he did not force Caroso and Bai Xiuxian anymore, but returned to the cabin without saying a word.
"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely solve it." Caroso comforted Bai.
"Well, I believe you..." Bai held Caroso's hand.
Although she didn't know what to do, she could only believe Caroso at this time.
The worst plan is to live in the Nether Sea in the future.
Obviously, Tig doesn't want Caroso to stay in a place like Nether Sea, but if Tig can't let Caroso out, I believe he can still find a way to let the two of them live normally in the Nether Sea.
September 26th.
Teresa walked aimlessly on the land of Presia. The death of Emperor Orsay was a huge blow to her.
She didn't know what she should do or what she could do.
She randomly found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup.
She was eating noodles quietly when she suddenly heard yelling and cursing.
"Damn it, how dare you not pay taxes?"
Teresa watched helplessly as the owner of the store was kicked out.
Teresa is the noodles you eat at the door.
Although Presia is quite cold, it is September now and many restaurants have seats outside.
With a parasol and a table, guests can enjoy lunch while enjoying the wind leisurely.
Teresa sucked the noodles into his mouth and frowned slightly.
If you don't pay taxes, can't we have a good discussion?
Forget it, maybe you are in a bad mood?
In the eyes of Teresa, hitting someone is really normal.
There are some scoundrels, and you really can't do anything if you don't take action.
As for the old gangsters, gangsters, and little beasts who bullied their classmates in Netizens's time, I believe Netizens would be happy to see them beaten up.
Teresa has no intention of meddling in other people's business. She came out to relax, not for a private visit incognito.
"Sir, sir, please..." The boss hugged the thigh of a tax soldier. "Originally, our taxes were enough, but with the State Funeral Tax and New Policy Tax added yesterday, we really have no money!"
"I open a shop every year, and the money I make is just enough to pay taxes and eat and drink normally. I can't even afford my children's school fees..."
"Do poor people deserve to go to school?" The tax soldier kicked the boss and said, "Others can afford it, why can't you?"
"But, but... many people can't afford it!" the boss cried, "How many people on this street can afford it?"
"Humph, is it reasonable not to pay taxes?" The tax soldier sneered, "Let me tell you, if you don't collect enough tax money, your child will have a criminal record, and he will not be able to be a public official or enter the army in the future. Let alone go to school, I can't guarantee that he will graduate!"
After hearing this, the boss turned pale.
It is enough to control these people and their descendants.
After the tax soldier finished speaking, he left the store and went to the next store.
Obviously, the next one can't afford it either.
I went to six stores in a row and only one could afford it.
Jealousy!
Teresa After finishing all the noodles, I felt something was wrong.
A person may be a scammer, but with so many stores, only one can afford it. Is this a problem?
Moreover, from the perspective of this city, this street is a relatively prosperous street, which is where more money is made.
If you can't afford it here, what about the others?
The boss was sighing and settling accounts when Teresa walked up to him, "Boss, what's going on with State Funeral Tax and New Policy Tax?"
"I don't know, it just happened out of nowhere." The boss said a little aggrievedly, "I prepare ingredients at two or three in the morning every day, open the store at five in the morning, and rest at nine in the evening. I don't dare to be lazy at all."
"I haven't been to a pub in years, not even a cheap dance club."
"Year after year, I dare not take a day off."
"The machines and furniture at home have not been replaced for many years. Even if they are broken, I dare not spend too much money to repair them."
"If you can use a fan, you don't need a refrigerator. If you can, you don't need to turn on the lights. You don't even dare to light candles."
"But, even so, I still can't pay the tax now..."
"How much do you have to pay every year?" Teresa continued to ask.
"This..."
"Show me the ledger." Teresa took a photo of one thousand Bronze Coins banknotes.
The boss quickly took out the account book.
Teresa looked at the money he earned every day, as well as the daily taxes, and his pupils shrank. "Is the tax so high?"
"Isn't that right?" The boss sighed, "Is there anything I can do but see if I can sell some furniture to tide over the difficulties?"
At this moment, a gunshot was heard in the distance.
Teresa Hearing gunshots, he quickly left the store.
She stared blankly into the distance and saw a clothing store owner who had been shot to death and was being dragged away.
"Listen to me, if anyone doesn't pay taxes in the future, this is what will happen!"
"The latest tax policy is the emperor's new policy. Anyone who fails to implement it is going against the emperor!"
The other bosses took a look, and all of them were as silent as ice. They quickly went back to work and tried to figure out how to pay taxes.
"The tax is so high, why would they kill people if they can't collect the money?" Teresa felt a wave of anger rushing straight to Tianling Gai.
"Isn't it always like this?" the boss said casually.
"Has it always been like this?" Teresa clenched his fists. "Have you never thought of resisting?"
"Resist? Who are you resisting, the emperor?" The boss rolled his eyes at Teresa.
"The emperor was wrong, why can't he resist!" Teresa doesn't think there is any point in imposing these two taxes Isli!
State Funeral Tax, If your father dies, you have to pay taxes nationwide?
And I don't even know what New Policy Tax and Teresa are for!
In the past, the country was spending large-scale military expenditures, and other things could only barely function.
With the addition of these two taxes, the entire country may be crushed.
Isli, are you so cerebral palsy?
Or should I say, this is the city's own behavior...
The boss's face changed, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes. "Well, girl, can you help me look at the store? I'll be back right away, really, right away."
"Okay!" Teresa looked at the two tax soldiers walking away with murderous eyes.
She was thinking whether to execute them with her own hands!
Such people are bringing shame to the country their father left behind!
However, Teresa and Caroso have been together for so long and are no longer so impulsive.
She was wondering whether it was a personal reason or whether it was like this in the entire city.
This matter must be investigated carefully...
I haven't waited for Teresa to think about it.
I saw that the boss came to the store with a team of policemen, pointed at Teresa and said, "That's her. She disrespects the emperor's policies and says she will resist the emperor!"
Teresa was interrupted by the situation in front of him.
She was a little stunned.
I spoke for you and gave you an extra thousand yuan, but you reported me?
Upon hearing this, several policemen decisively took out their weapons and pointed them at Teresa.
"Come with us!"
The Sheriff took a step forward and threw out a card in his hand.
[Name: Iron Cage]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level:3]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Class Restriction: None]
[Introduction: Lock the enemy in a cage]
"Huh, I still need to investigate some things, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
After Teresa finished speaking, the card was not even used, and the Mana in his body exploded.
The iron cage was blown to pieces.
The boss was shocked when he saw this and hid behind the police chief.
Bang bang bang...
The muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, and countless pistol bullets were fired at Teresa.
Teresa grabbed it with her bare hands, and a lot of bullets were actually caught in her hands.
Seeing this terrifying speed and Mana, the police chief immediately understood that he had kicked the iron plate.
The police chief wanted to take action, but Teresa kicked him out.
The fierce leg wind swept several people away.
"Professional, this is advanced Professional, call for support!"
After the police sergeant fell to the ground, he immediately took out Communication Magic Stone.
Teresa ignored these people and disappeared in a flash.
As long as it is not the main city of a province, no one can stop a master like Teresa.
Teresa did not go far, but came to the Tax Bureau immediately.
In less than a moment, Tax Bureau's people had already fallen to their knees.
Teresa looked at the tax report with a gloomy expression, slammed it on the table, and growled, "Tell me, who gave the order! Is it Grand Duke Tulip? Or, the lord of this city! Or, yourselves!"
"How can I be sure..." the tax official whispered, "This is a unified tax collection standard across the country... It is the same in every city. If you don't believe it, you can ask."
Teresa summoned two big swords and placed them on the necks of the two tax soldiers. "Who told you to kill people if you can't collect taxes?"
Regarding this national unified standard, Teresa will check it out.
"That man already owes too much tax. He, he... should also be executed according to the law..."
"That should be a court trial, not a trial by you!" Teresa shouted, "Who gave you the rights, and who gave you the courage!"
"It's done like this everywhere..." The two soldiers trembled.
Teresa raised his sword back, and two blood arrows hit the ground.
The two tax soldiers who shot a boss were killed by her with one sword!
Teresa I am really angry.
Is this how they treat civilians? In the past, Teresa lived in Winter City. It was an imperial city and the public security was definitely good.
Teresa knew that the people's burden was a bit heavy, but I didn't expect it to be this heavy.
She knew that officials would bully civilians. This is the human heart and cannot be changed. No matter what the system is, this kind of problem will occur. If nothing else, Netizens, the Internet was so developed in that era, didn't we also have this kind of virtue?
It's just that Teresa didn't expect that they would dare to kill people in the street so blatantly. Do you really think Presia that there is no law?
Is this the most powerful empire?
Do ordinary people living like this deserve to be called a great country?
"Tell me, how much have you embezzled!" Teresa's Sword put his hand on the tax official's neck.
"How dare I..." The tax officer was so frightened that he peed his pants. "I really didn't commit corruption. I didn't do this. It's just that the tax is so high..."
Buzz buzz...
At this moment, the sound of helicopter propellers sounded outside.
Teresa knows that if I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll be hit head-on.
She picked up the sword and the tax collector and disappeared in an instant.
It's not that she has mastered Space Law, it's her speed that makes people unable to see clearly.
This stop is the tax collector's home.
Teresa looked at the tax collector's home, feeling a little silent.
"Your home... isn't bad." Teresa frowned slightly.
She found the tax collector's deposit, and a few other things.
However, although this money is a lot, it is just enough to live a normal life, which is better than those who open a shop.
If he had more children, even if there were subsidies for officials' children to go to school, it would not be enough.
"How dare we mess around..." the tax official cried bitterly, "I'm not a noble, am I seeking death for making so much money?"
In this era of aristocrats, it is too easy for the aristocrats to oppress the common people and make a wealthy businessman turn from a fortune to nothing.
Nobles are more ruthless than bureaucrats.
At least officials don't dare to do some things blatantly, but nobles are unscrupulous.
Royal Family, nobles, officials, civilians, this is a food chain.
Money is very important, but money cannot fully demonstrate status. Power allows money to enter the country's pockets inexplicably.
Those who really make big business have their own aristocratic status and their own armed forces.
"Is it the same when Former Emperor was here?" Teresa let out a sigh of relief.
"When Former Emperor was here, it seemed to be calculated..." The tax officer hesitated for a moment. "As long as you don't get seriously ill, you can live a normal life, unlike the sudden increase in taxes these days. Every city has a quota for this tax, so you can't let the nobles take the money, right? This tax quota seems a bit heavy when it is distributed to civilians."
"Where do we, small civil servants, get the money? Our rights can make us feel a little better, just a little bit..."
"Then what is your dream?" Teresa suddenly asked.
"I..." the tax officer was stunned for a moment. "I want to be Chief Tax Officer."
"The person below you wants to be a tax officer, and you want to be Chief Tax Officer, ha, what a simple dream..."
Teresa did not embarrass the tax official, but came to the place where ordinary people live, that is, the less prosperous streets.
Those ordinary people all had dull eyes and were walking in a hurry, for fear of being a little slow.
Many homeless people lie on the ground, waiting for charity from passers-by.
However, every passerby is unable to protect themselves. After paying taxes on their wages, they can barely live, so how can they provide for the homeless?
A disease can destroy a family.
Unless you are lucky and encounter Church free treatment day...
"Over there, don't run!"
At this moment, a policeman caught a street girl.
"Let me go, let me go. I just want to buy a house. What law have I broken?" The street girl yelled, "You arrest me as soon as I save some money. You arrest me as soon as I save some money. Is there any law?"
"Hmph, your health certificate has expired for two days and you are still evading taxes. Who will arrest you if not you?"
Can't you even survive a job like a street girl that pays so quickly?
Looking at the devil-like city in front of him, Teresa felt a little dizzy.
The most terrifying thing is that she visited three cities in a row and it was always like this!
