The powerful people in Hanfeng City are about to live a hard life.

The Arad family, the Lehman family, the Minos family, or the chiefs of the wizard group, such as Rao and Piero.

The city is like a storm in a teacup. No one is convinced of money or power.

But someone always needs to clean up the situation.

Finally, Victor Hugo was invited to take charge of finance, but this old man's tax collection method is really special - whoever has a large trade volume will receive more taxes.

The "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" has the largest trade volume, so half of the taxes in Hanfeng City come from Your Excellency Hugo himself. He collected them without hesitation.

After tax collection, the old man required one-third of the tax to be used for urban construction and two-thirds of it will be allocated to the parliament.

It is said that Lord Hugo has already paid more money, but the city's council is still quarreling about this distribution ratio. But no one can do anything and can only accept it.

The "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" will disclose taxes, all accounts can be checked, and taxes of more than 30,000 gold coins will be collected in the first month.

This number shocked the powerful people of all parties in the parliament, which means that the monthly trade volume of Hanfeng City exceeded 300,000 gold coins.

No one has ever counted it in detail in the past, nor can it be counted. But the powerful always have an estimate in their minds that the previous trade volume would definitely not exceed 100,000 gold coins.

This only shows that the "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" has greatly promoted the circulation of goods and increased the trade volume.

In this regard, the powerful people want to evade taxes. But the "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" is like a network. With its logistics and technical advantages, it can provide faster, more convenient and more high-quality services.

Even making accounts is more professional.

No one can live without it.

In order to give subsidies to the wizard group and the knights, the long-legged family spent 15,000 gold coins every month. Various public services had to be spent 5,000.

In order to maintain this expense, Hanfeng City mainly collects agricultural tax, mining tax and capitol tax, and exploits the poor and merchants at the bottom.

In the past, the average monthly tax has never exceeded 25,000 gold coins, and the tax cost is very high. Sometimes, if the year is not good, the long-legged family will lose money.

Now that Hugo Gong is taking taxes, he can easily collect 30,000 gold coins. Half of them are provided by him.

The powerful people in the parliament didn't know how to evaluate this matter. They wanted to argue for a few words, but found that they didn't know how to speak at all.

You can't call yourself too incompetent in the past.

Your Excellency Hugo was in charge of the money bag and immediately demanded reforms to the existing policies of Hanfeng City.

First, cut the monthly salary.

The nobles and wizard groups no longer enjoy the unpaid salary. If you want money, you have to earn it yourself, either hold public office, do business, or manage land.

With this cut, the parliament was almost blown away by Victor Hugo again. No one was willing to be quiet if Speaker Arad knocked the table.

Secondly, the law is amended to give more power to the poor at the bottom, encourage population circulation, and establish basic medical and social security.

Veto, reject, reject!

When they heard that the poor were treated as human beings, the hall of Winter was filled with the hustle and bustle of the members of the parliament. No one listened to Deputy Speaker Hugo's detailed statements, they only knew that they were unhappy.

Again, form a unified military force and reorganize the urban management system.

The MPs strongly demand that no matter what force or system, they must be under their control. All key positions must be held by them. Otherwise, they will not approve them.

Finally, we will build a large-scale city, including roads, houses, sewers, repairs, demolishes what should be demolished, and opens what should be opened. Otherwise, Hanfeng City will almost become a large slum.

The MPs once again clamored, asking only to build their own roads and infrastructure, and that no one else had anything to do with them.

Stupid, selfish, short-sighted, guys who claim to be noble sat in the hall of Winter, wearing the most gorgeous clothes, but quarreled like shrews.

Zhou Qingfeng stood on the stage and announced his plan slowly, throwing cups under the stage, spitting, and fucking chairs to dry the racks, and revealing all kinds of human bad habits.

In the noisy environment, he only continued his own preaching: "I am not here to ask you to approve anything. I just want to spend some money to tell you not to get in my way."

After snapping his fingers, Todd carried a large box and placed it in the middle of the hall. The lid of the box was opened, and there were silver platinum coins inside.

"This is the 20,000 tax from last month. I've given it to you. As for my policy, I will implement it myself." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and left after he said this.

Todd threw down his money box and followed Zhou Qingfeng with laughter.

The originally noisy hall of Winter was quiet in an instant, with more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at the platinum coins placed on the central ground, greedy and unrestrained.

Old Arad quickly rushed up to the rostrum and knocked it twice, shouting: "I announce as the Speaker, this money..."

Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish...

More than a hundred powerful congressmen in the city were all staring at Old Arad. Everyone was staring at him, as if they would immediately kill the other party whenever they heard unsatisfactory words.

Old Alad was gloomy and cunning all his life, and was stared at by so many people and shivered. He said the words behind him and didn't say them, "Everyone thinks how should you spend this money?"

After arguing for several months, everyone knows very well that the contradictions are too deep and no one can convince everyone. Anyone who opposes this money, and there is another internal strife.

But everyone gathered in the Winter Hall to avoid internal strife.

"I now feel that I can support Your Excellency Hugo's proposal to rebuild the urban management system." A sound came from the hall, and it was a member of the Lehman family.

Everyone frowned and thought about it.

"The proposal to rebuild urban public facilities is also OK. Every time it rains, it will flood, which will also affect us." On the other side, the patriarch of the Minos family also let go.

"If everyone doesn't want a monthly salary, I think it's acceptable to save this money." said Rao, chief of the Simplified Corporation.

The powerful boss spoke, and the remaining members of the parliament looked left and right.

If anyone dares to embezzle 20,000 gold coins, it will immediately become a public enemy. But if the spoils are simply divided, it will not be of any benefit to the entire group.

What is needed now is compromise. Even a little bit is good.

The noisy congressman had to calm down and instead expressed his agreement. If he could really spend 20,000 gold coins in the public domain, it would be beneficial to anyone.

But once the money is handed over, it is impossible to return to Zhou Qingfeng's hands. The parliament picked several members of the weakest power to come out to keep the money.

As for how to spend it specifically, it was another endless quarrel.

There are dozens of seats in the corner of the Winter Hall. Alchemist Jason and a group of low-ranking nobles sat there. They only have the right to listen and have no say.

When Zhou Qingfeng threw out 20,000 platinum coins, Jason sighed in his heart. He slowly stood up and chased the former.

Once again, again again!

This scene is so familiar that I can only smile bitterly.

When it comes to differentiation and wining, Jason has never seen anyone more skilled than Victor Hugo. Money, power, and knowledge. The new lord can always give out exchanges that are hard to refuse.

Whenever you think you have taken advantage of it, you end up just making wedding dresses for Your Excellency Hugo.

After the long-legged family was forced to leave Hanfeng City, Lord Hugo ran to build his own territory. Jason once thought that he would not disturb the situation, but now he found that this kid is more skillful than anyone else.

The Arad family was not convinced enough and had not gained control of the entire city in half a year. The powerful and powerful in the city did not resolve anything from the beginning to the internal strife.

Victor Hugo had no interest in these chaos and was devoted to staying outside the city to carry out construction, and he also watched the fire from the other side of the city to do business with all parties in the city.

The reason why the internal strife in the city is that the trade of the "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" has greatly activated the consumption capacity of the powerful.

Many people's strength increased sharply like a bird gun and cannon replacement, and then they were even more unstoppable.

The consumption of internal strife is too tragic. Every family has blood feud, but they have to sit down and negotiate.

When the parliament was formed, Zhou Qingfeng jumped out to serve as the deputy speaker of Hanfeng City, holding the financial power in his hands.

Jason chased outside the Winter Hall and sighed again in his heart, "Everyone can't escape."

Zhou Qingfeng had already stepped on the back of "Jiying", turned his head and saw Jason approaching, and smiled and said, "You can't stand those fools?"
