Still Need To Increase Taxes?

The Kingdom of Rose is located on the border of the Western Regions of the Loriland Continent. There are three kingdoms around the Kingdom of Rose, the Kingdom of Nord, the Kingdom of West, and the Kingdom of Loth.

The Kingdom of Loth is close to the sea at the very edge, the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Loth are next to the Kingdom of Loth to the east, and the Kingdom of West is to the east of the Kingdom of Nord.

And one point of the border of the Qisi Kingdom is connected to the prairie of the southern Orc Empire.

And to the east of the West Kingdom, there are hundreds of principalities of the Western Region Kingdoms controlled by the Empire!

These hundreds of kingdoms of the Western Regions are controlled by the ancient Gustav the Great, and this ambitious emperor controls these kingdoms to form the Ancient Gustav Empire.

It is not so much an empire as a monolithic alliance empire.

The Duke of the Golden Lion is a warlord of the Gustav Alliance Empire, with an army of millions.

This alliance empire with a population of hundreds of millions and a vast territory with hundreds of kingdoms blocked the way for all countries in the Western Regions to reach the Magic Empire in the Central Region.

After the Gustav Empire is the Central Territory, the Council of the Central Magic Empire is the largest force in the entire continent. There are several magic kingdoms around the Central Magic Empire Councilor Court.

As for the southern region, it is a prairie, occupied by several orc kingdoms and some half-orc tribes.

As for the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory, the ancient Nerón didn't know anything about it.

"Please select a location for the production line."

"The list of resources required has been listed. The installation of the production line requires the following resources. Please collect them, Your Majesty."

Nerón was sitting in his palace, not far away were the guards and knights standing in line.

And Rotis was sent by him to lead the American soldiers to conquer the lost land nearby.

After all, there are still more than ten towns in the country controlled by the Nord Kingdom.

This is really only one city at the beginning.

"Steward Stephens, how many gold coins are there in the treasury?"

While looking at the list of required resources listed by the system, Nerón asked the palace steward standing next to him.

"Your Majesty, because of the war with the Nord Kingdom this year, and the loss of most of the country, the tax cannot be collected, and the military expenditure is not small... Now there are only 20,000 gold coins left in the treasury..."

Stephens has a ledger in his hand anytime and anywhere, he took out the ledger to look through it a few times, and said with a bitter face.

"Only 20,000 gold coins, so little..."

Nerón sighed, no money, too poor.

"No way, because the Nord Kingdom is at war with us..."

"Call out 15,000 gold coins to collect the materials on this list."

Nerón handed the list to Stephens.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Stephens was taken aback.

He glanced at the list and couldn't understand why Nerón used the remaining money in the national treasury to buy all these things that seemed useless to him.

"How much domestic iron resources are left?"

Nerón asked.

"Because of the war with the Nord Kingdom, the trade route was cut off, so there is still a lot of iron in the treasury."

"If they are all made into armor, they can completely arm an army of nearly ten thousand people."

Stephens looked at the records in the ledger and said to Nerón.

"very good."

Nerón smiled: "I want to open a new factory, you go and collect all the resources on the list!"

"It's all!"

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid there will be nothing left in our treasury."

Stephens was taken aback and said.

"If there is nothing left, there will be nothing left, don't make me say it a second time!"

Nerón took a deep look at Stephens.

Stephens shuddered, after a war, will people change so much...

He still remembers Nerón appearance when he was a child, but looking at him now, he is obviously alone, but it feels like two different people!

The previous Nerón seemed cowardly and uninitiated.

But since His Majesty ascended the throne, Nerón has shown his sharpness now, like a giant dragon that wants to devour the world!

But for the country, the king they need is undoubtedly the latter!

"By the way, go and help me gather all the gates of the country in the central square of the city. I have a new decree to announce."

Nerón asked.

"All summoned?"

Stephens was taken aback.

"Yes, anyway, we only have this city left now, and we must gather them all. Some decrees will only be believed if I, the king, say it myself."

Nerón stood up, and he looked handsome and straight after he had changed into a court attire.

"Have you heard, His Majesty the King is going to call us all to the central square, saying that there is a new decree to be announced."

"A new decree? Is there another tax increase?!"

On the street, a person screamed.

"What, tax increase? Life is already very hard, if the tax is increased, then we will not be able to survive!"

The other person had a haggard face and spoke very bitterly.

"These hateful nobles only exploit us, they are all bloody vampires!"

Some people on the street were filled with righteous indignation and said bitterly.

"Okay, don't talk more, let's go to the square quickly, and listen to what the king is going to do!"

"Since he took office, our taxes have been increasing!"

The citizens rushed towards the central square of the city in a steady stream.

After a while, tens of thousands of people gathered here.

Most of them looked haggard and full of worry.

After all, in their hearts, I am afraid that there will be another tax increase.

Because of the war, their taxation was already very heavy, and various miscellaneous taxes were frequently added before.

Garbage tax, window tax, water tax, food tax.

Etc., etc.

And all the money collected went there, all used to build weapons and armor, and went to war with the Nord Kingdom.

But the army failed again and again.

Taxation is also heavy again and again.

The people are already overwhelmed.

Up to now, seventy-eight out of ten of the citizens' income have all been paid in taxes.

Fortunately, this time is not long, otherwise, after a while, Gu Yuan will receive the news of the rebellion of the residents in the city.

But it's not much better now.

Nerón called the citizens to the square. Many citizens thought that he wanted to raise taxes again, so they were very angry.

A large number of people gathered, and several brawls had occurred in this moment.

Thousands of soldiers present managed to control the order of the scene with great difficulty.

"Dear citizens of Rose, I am your king, Nerón."

Nerón was dressed in royal court clothes, surrounded by knights and German guards. He stood on the high platform and said loudly.

Because of the special structure of the square, there are loudspeakers all around, so Nerón voice can be heard clearly.

"My respected Majesty the King, what do you want to do? Do you want to increase taxes? Although we are only civilians, we are also human beings!"

A commoner couldn't bear the resentment in his heart any longer, and roared loudly.

Power stone :)))
