Chapter 147 It's not easy to be a mayor
In addition to Duan Fei, the law enforcement officer Joe Bernard is a senior officer in the venue. Of course, you have to see what he said. This guy used to dislike the one-eyed dragon, but now he still doesn't like Duan Fei. He has no noble bloodline and no good education. He belongs to a typical rural villager and wants him to come out of Jobona. The tall Bernard family once had such remarkable achievements and momentum in this kingdom. Although they have fallen a lot in recent years, they are also aristocratic blood anyway, hum! Duan Fei is nothing, a rough man who practices martial arts in the mountains all year round.
This guy looks down on Duan Fei in his heart. Today, he came to make soy sauce, eat and drink enough, and then take some to have a meeting. It's such a thing. I expect you to give you advice, but there is no door.
When everyone saw that the law enforcement officer was not angry, they also lowered their heads. Duan Fei's eyes fell on the black panther. This young man dared to insert a knife for his brothers in the city, and naturally he would not sit back and watch the poverty in the city deteriorate.
Black Panther doesn't care what kind of capital or generation it is. Anyway, he is not afraid to wear shoes. He says whatever he thinks of: "I think the gate should be opened so that everyone can go out to earn money to support their families."
The tax officer's assistant looks down on this young man from the bottom of his heart, not because he is too dark, but because this guy has no concept of paying taxes in his mind. Every year, he takes the lead in resisting taxes and is a famous thorn in Happy City. This time, it's really cheap not to die under the one-eyed dragon. The assistant tax looked at him sarcastically and took his words and said, "Of course, there is no problem to open the city gate. The appearance tax must be paid. As for the deposit..." This guy turned his head and looked at Duan Fei. The deposit has always been collected by the consul, and their tax department does not care about this area.
What kind of deposit and city tax do you have to pay for a trip out of the city? Duan Fei is the first time to hear that there is such a rule. In a bad place, you have to pay a lot of money to go out of the city. If you want to see the mountains and rivers to pick wild flowers, the cost is not low. Although Duan Fei is the mayor, after all, he is new here and is not busy expressing his position. He listens to what everyone says and then summarizes it. Anyway, the final decision is in his own hands.
The assistant tax officer also mentioned the old calendar of the previous dynasty. This deposit can make the people in the city suffer. Now the whole happy city can afford to pay the city deposit, which will not add up to more than 20. Except for a few large families, ordinary people can't even afford to buy a steamed bun. How can they get so much? Deposit, an elder stared at the assistant tax officer fiercely. Your boy is standing and talking without hurting. Anyway, no one dares to collect your money. Do you know how poor the people in the city are now? Many people don't have a house to live in and don't have a quilt. They can't even take out the money to buy hay for quilts at the market. How much is a bundle of hay? 50 cents, many people can't even take out this money, and they can't even cover the hay when they sleep at night. Someone said that these people are really stupid enough to cut themselves. Do you still need to buy such a thing?
Brother, all the grass in the city has been cleaned up and there is no money to go out of the city. Where do you ask them to mow the grass?
How can the people in this city survive?
Duan Fei's eyes were horrible. The elder stared at the assistant tax officer. This action could not escape Mayor Duan's eyes. He looked at the gray cloth elder, who was 70 years old, as thin as firewood, but his long-lasting eyes were still very clear.
Duan Fei knew that he would stand up and say a few words. In the mayor's heart, an idea emerged that a new unofficial institution, the Happy City elders Association, could be handed over to him, Thorncaros.
Old Thorne stood up with a thin face, but his voice was very loud: "I think the city tax and the city deposit should be abolished so that everyone can leave the city freely. Those who have the ability can go out to make money. Those who are not capable can also go out to the city to get some hay, firewood and so on. Those who can hunt can also get some prey to supplement the city. There is a food shortage in it.
Duan Fei nodded. Although the noble Joe Bernard and the assistant tax officer of Sesame were not happy, Duan Fei still agreed to the elder's request. In the view of Mayor Duan, such a request was natural. The person who invented the city tax and the city deposit was really a bastard.
"Your Excellency," Jobner finally couldn't help saying, "I have nothing to say about canceling the city tax. Anyway, basically no one has paid the city tax in the past six months."
The assistant tax officer didn't think so. He retorted, "In the past six months, no one has paid the city tax. That's because the officers and soldiers defending the city did not cooperate. We can't accept it at all by relying on our people alone."
Jobner is a guy who wants to rake everyone. He snorted coldly at the assistant tax officer: "36 tax soldiers in your third class can't accept the city tax, which means that your gang are all waste."
The assistant tax officer stood up with a "so" sound, pointed to Jobner's nose and scolded, "What the hell are you? Others are afraid that I'm not afraid of you. If you have the ability, you can collect taxes and see how much you can collect!"
Jobner saw that the boy actually came across his head, and a nameless fire came up. Huo Di stood up and was about to attack--
"Sill down, quarrel again, and throw it out and feed the wolf directly." These two guys are horizontal enough. Compared with Duan Fei, that's still far away. The two guys look at Duan Fei's eyes and sit down obediently. No matter how angry they are, they can't laugh at their own lives. It's better not to fight with him even dare to kill the mayor.
Terror can bring two intuitive changes: the first is to make people confused, and the second is that it may make people more sober. These two guys are not bad, at least they know that it is important to save their lives.
The matter about the city tax and the city deposit has been decided. Next, we will discuss the financial work, urban planning, industrial development, agricultural support, education and health, etc. of Happy City. Duan Fei is only in his early 18 years old this year. It is really not easy to be a mayor. There are a lot of miscellaneous things.
After a mayor's executive meeting, Duan Fei only felt dizzy. This mess is not ordinary. King Hawker is a big bastard who tossed the whole kingdom to pieces. In the words of people on earth, he has been in the situation of economic crisis and financial collapse for many years, and GDP has grown negatively for many years. Currency issuance has grown at a geometric rate, and many remote areas have never seen what passbook looks like. In the past five years, more than 70% of bank outlets have closed down, and a large number * are piled up in the hands of nobles and do not know where to store them.
They repair the warehouse to store grain. The nobles of Set Star are different. In addition to storing grain, they also need to store a large number of serial numbers*. There is nothing they can do. The bank's vault is piled up with water. There are many places where the bank drives a truck directly to the nobleman's house to scatter money for free, and A large number of alloy materials, building materials, gold, silver and jewelry, the nobles have been worried about the lack of warehouses for many years. The common people, alas, not to mention, do not even have the capital to cover a bundle of hay.
The elders will be responsible for organizing the people of the whole city to carry out mutual assistance and self-help actions. Urika, as the only old subordinate, was entrusted by the new mayor. In addition to serving as the bodyguard of the consul's office, he also served as the civil affairs resettlement rescue commissioner, the executive president of the Grain and Oil Industry and Trade Corporation, and Happy City Real Estate Development Executive President of the Industrial Corporation, Tourism and Publicity Planning Specialist of Happy City...
The poor little girl is already busy before she remembers how many titles she has.
Unlike the one-eyed dragon, he will not be with the bastard, but in fact, in fact, he maintains a high degree of agreement with the one-eyed dragon, relying on simple violence to solve the problem, killing the mayor and directly occupying the municipal government, and relying on a lot of money to deal with the chaotic and corrupt upper leaders, all It is to rely on corruption to maintain a little network of officialdom...
Another point is that there is no time to take care of this city. One spends time on women and the other spends time practicing martial arts. There is a little difference. The people get different results. Although the city still lacks excellent executives, at least some people begin to worry about the lives of citizens. This is an earth-shaking change. Change.
Unexpectedly, someone has begun to take care of the city, and Duan Fei can go back to his hometown at ease. He entrusted the elders to preside over the municipal work, and then left. The earth delegation was about to return, and Duan Fei had to go back with them.
