Triple and then add an additional 20%.
This means that it basically amounts to more than three and a half times on top of the original
This was a huge doubling, knowing that the tax that Night Sky City paid in a year was not a small amount at all.
To directly triple it by more than three times, this was simply taking nearly four years of taxes directly away in one breath.
Did Night Sky City have the money? Of course it did!
But having it doesn’t mean it can be taken out!
A city needs cash flow to function, and a trading city needs it even more, so what a terrible consequence it would be if it was siphoned off straight away?!
With the city crippled and not even having the money to buy goods afterwards, would the auction still be held next year? Would the city’s infrastructure still be maintained?
This is almost like asking Night Sky City to take the money from the bottom of the kettle.
“Three times as much? Envoy, this ……
I’m not going to lie to you, this Night Sky City’s annual tax revenue is already a heavy burden, we can barely support it, you suddenly increased a whole three times, we …… can’t really afford it.”
The man was not the least bit polite when he looked at Luo Jin, who had a difficult face: “Lord Luo, I am only telling you, not discussing with you, so you just need to do as you are told.”
“This ……” Luo Jin was helpless.
But on second thought, what could be done?!
There was nothing else he could do, it seemed, but to meekly do as he was told.
“In half an hour, I’m going to leave with the money.” With those words, the man was about to turn around and leave.
“Special Envoy!” Luo Jin hurriedly called out to the man and said in a bitter voice, “This …… half an hour, subordinate, subordinate simply can’t do it ah.”
Today is still in the meal, the auction is also still in the count, many auction items simply
No payment has been received for the goods.
“Even if you are quicker, in half an hour we will have only just finished counting the list and started collecting the money.”
The man smiled coldly, “It’s up to you.”
With those words, he swept a glance at everyone present and said in a cold voice, “Besides, haven’t they already finished eating? Luo is close, just half an hour.”
“You guys, you’d better cooperate with City Master Luo.”
With those words, he wanted to leave again.
“Sorry, if half an hour, I don’t know if other people’s money will be paid, at least mine won’t be.”
A soft laugh was heard, but it stopped the man in his tracks, and everyone around him looked in surprise at the sound.
It was none other than Han Qianqian who said this.
The man turned around sharply and his cold gaze locked onto Han Qianqian’s body: “Just now, were you the one who spoke?”
Han Qianqian smiled carelessly, “What, did you
are deaf?”
The man turned his horse’s head straight away, and the group of men behind him, also turned around at once, one after the other, taking up a stance as if Han Qianqian was on the verge of being very miserable.
“Who are you?” The man shouted coldly, “Do you want to die?”
Han Qianqian was just about to speak, but at that moment, Lone Chu, who was at the side, hurriedly stopped Han Qianqian and whispered sharply in his ear, “Sir, these people must not be provoked.”
With these words, he stepped in front of Han Qianqian and gave the man a slight bow, “I am Lone Chu of the Lone Family, my friend does not know the rules here, so please do not treat him in the same way as the envoy.”
The man gave a cold snort, swept a glance at Lone Chu, hesitated for a moment and nodded towards the people behind him, as if to sell Lone Chu’s face and not pursue the matter further.
But it was Han Qianqian who stood in front of Lone Chu once again.
“Joke, this auction
I’ve spent a lot of money on this auction, and I haven’t even had my fill of this meal, and you’re rushing to ask me to pay up, is this how you do business?”
“In an hour’s time, when I’ve had enough to eat and drink, I’ll naturally have paid every penny due, but if anyone wants me to pay before then, no deal.”
With a single sentence, it directly shocked everyone present with their jaws dropping.
If the previous statement could be pa*sed off as not knowing the rules of the place, then now, Han Qianqian was typically jumping out of his own skin and looking for death.
In Night Sky City, no one dared to speak to the envoy in such a manner, including the City Lord of Night Sky City, Luo Jin.
But Han Qianqian had provoked him twice in a row, in front of so many people.
What the hell is this if not a death wish?
“What did you say?”
The man did turn back, murderous intent in his eyes ……
