Chapter 680 Golden Ideas(2/2)
Leo listened for a long time and already understood what was going on. Seeing the confusion on the officer's face, he stamped his feet and sighed: "You scoundrels are really a bunch of pig-brained people. Look.
With your appearance, you can be a city gate official for the rest of your life.
Isn’t the meaning obvious? After collecting money for a day, you just pretend not to know how much it is and put it in his bag, isn’t it? Isn’t this gift meaningful and valuable?
What a bunch of idiots. Aren’t you, Xiaobai?”
Xiaobai nodded beside him, then looked at the officer with disdain, snorted heavily, and curled his mouth to show his disdain~!
After hearing this, the officer suddenly understood.
He took half a step back, then bowed deeply to Lorraine and said, "Sir, this is a really good idea. I admire it. Everyone, please welcome to our city."
Lorraine laughed loudly, then bowed slightly as a return gift, then turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Next to her, Vera hurriedly called Leo, then watched him and Xiaobai follow, and then led them to follow Lorraine and walk towards the city.
Leo walked through the city gate and turned around to find that the officer was gone. Then he took out a money bag from his pocket with a smile, emptied it, and then threw the money bag into the gutter.
.
The deerskin money bag fell into the ditch, rolled over in the sewage, and gradually sank. After the last few bubbles popped out, everything returned to calm.
Leo counted the coins in his hand, then divided them up happily with Vera and Xiaobai.
Lorraine came to the city and saw that the city was also in depression.
There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and even fewer vehicles. The faces of the people all had a hungry look on their faces, and they looked a little gloomy, and they walked listlessly. There was no optimism at all like the people of Nai'an.
It's as if life is a torment for them.
There are closed doors on both sides of the street, and it is rare to see shops with their doors open for business.
Not to mention carriage transportation, inns and taverns, even the service and entertainment industry, which is known as the star pillar industry of the tertiary industry, seems to be somewhat neglected.
Lorraine walked around the city several times and finally found a decent inn. Although the conditions were not good enough, at least it was very clean.
Everyone rested there for the night, washing away the fatigue of the long journey on the sea. They waited until everyone was well rested before setting off again.
Since these people were all pampered and used to being comfortable, it was not like Lorraine and the others were walking these hundreds of miles.
Lorraine originally thought about hiring a car for transportation in the city, but after thinking about it, she finally bought one with her own money.
For such a long journey, hiring one person and one car will be no different than buying one.
What's more, what they are doing is a big business of murder, arson, and subversion of espionage. It is extremely inconvenient if someone is around.
But after Lorraine bought the carriage and horses, she found that she had to pay a large amount of taxes at the exchange to complete the payment. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her carriage to move on the mainland.
That huge amount of tax made even Lord Lorraine, now a wealthy man, feel a burst of heartache when he paid for it.
Only then did Lorraine realize that the demons had collected extremely high taxes from the people for the expedition, and these heavy taxes had made the people almost breathless and could only struggle to survive.
As a result, all industries are now depressed, and because people cannot afford the high taxes and fees, they would rather do nothing, and most shops have closed down.
As Lorraine walked around the city, she could hear faint complaints from the people about high taxes.
But the more this happens, the happier Lorraine is. The heavier the taxes imposed by the demons, the sadder the people are. Of course, the more they complain, the more dissatisfied they are with them.
The three of them and Xiaobai crowded into the broken car they bought, and then drove the old horse. When they left the city, they paid the exit tax again and then walked along a long-disrepaired road.
, step by step, walking leisurely towards the imperial city of Akadelin.
Akadrin. There are thousands of Semitic generals and warriors there, as well as resourceful people as cunning as foxes. There are millions of people there.
Since the Holy War a thousand years ago, generations of popes from the Holy See of Light have dreamed of this land and want to set foot on it all the time~!
