Chapter 135

"Dish mouth?"

People were stunned one after another. It seemed that they didn't understand the meaning for a while.

The owner of the small liquor reacted first and said, "are you going to start a gambling? This tax is frighteningly high. "

Arrow nodded and continued, "in principle, our empire does not support the gambling industry. Because this will lead to a large number of gold coins flowing into the hands of a few people, and may also lead to social unrest. "

"However, although it does not support it, the state will not oppose it too much under the check and balance of high taxes."

"Now, our empire has set up a 'luxury entertainment tax', which is specially levied on some activities and goods with low cost and high revenue. For example, open brothels, buy private pleasure ships of non-commercial nature, etc. Among the 11 types of gambling, there is the type of "competitive gambling" that I will open soon. Sponsors who operate this type of gambling need to pay 67% of their business income as tax. So in fact, most of the money will be taxed away by the country, and our mermaid song will take the rest as a supplement to our income. "

Arrow paused a little and continued, "as I said, I'm going to open an opening. But relatively speaking, I hope everyone in Pelican town will not bet on me. Gambling is also a possible addictive thing. I just want to fill the economic hole of our mermaid song, and I don't really want to make a profit with it. Therefore, please remind, inform and supervise each other. Thank you. "

Arrow said it sincerely. Of course, this attitude can win everyone's favor.

However, if you say so, the actual situation will be discussed again. Now I have spoken very friendly. At that time, if someone really makes a bet on it and gets a lot of money in the end, I'm sorry to trouble myself.

On the other hand, ello himself was a little careful and inconvenient to talk to everyone.

Although the gambling industry is reluctantly allowed by the Empire, the operation of this kind of thing will not be arrested by the soldiers of the imperial army. But in fact, the ultra-high tax rate of 67% has doomed this business industry to make little money. On the other hand, it is also equivalent to the soft prohibition of the gambling industry by the state. Only when the state needs it will allow some nobles or agents to start some gambling industries and carry out a wave of "disguised taxation".

However, because the villagers of Pelican town don't seem to know much about this information, they actually need to pay very little human and material resources this time. The villagers will treat the Pankou work as the previous construction and publicity work.

Therefore, even with a high tax rate of 67%, mermaid song is almost using a relatively close to zero cost, so it should be able to make a profit in general.

In this way, one after another, arrow gradually assigned the work he could think of to everyone. Although it is close to evening and it is not much and dark outside, the villagers are not tired under the power of "money", but they are very excited!

As he saw the townspeople off, ello stretched hard.

Tonight, the work of mobilizing the whole town should be passed on to every Pelican townsman.

That means that the next day, this big guild war, which is about Pelican town making a lot of money and whether its mermaid song can make a full bowl through this game, or close down directly, will also start immediately!

——On December 6, 1301, board expenses: - 2 copper and 1 iron, starting capital: - 120 gold, balance: 9 gold, 2 silver, 6 copper and 5 iron (balance of stolen money: 34 gold, 7 silver and 7 copper)——

The next day, as soon as arrow opened the door of the guild, he could immediately feel the change in the atmosphere of Pelican town.

The originally white, empty streets began to be full of vitality. The villagers began to sweep the snow in front of the door and broaden the roads one by one.

Looking at this atmosphere, arrow looked up and looked at the sky with the sun high.

"What a fine day. There is no better weather for the first day of construction."

Arrow sighed, then immediately turned back and greeted his guild members. Mermaid song around the table, while a simple breakfast, while holding a small meeting.

"As we discussed yesterday, after dinner, everyone will help move."

Said arrow very seriously——

"Try to be careful and be polite to others in the process of moving. After moving home, try to help each other clean up their new home. All this will be completed in one day today. Is that all right? "

The holy bread smiled and said, "in terms of strength, I'm still a little confident. But President, are you sure you can? The next work is very busy. All kinds of data statistics and scheduling are followed by the process of guild war. Just thinking about it, I think my mind is full of paste. Can you? "

ELO said without exaggeration: "I also helped the teachers of the Department of combat and the Department of magic prepare for the competition in school. Although I haven't really presided over it, I shouldn't have a problem what to do. As for the battle process, just copy the battle process of my alma mater. Some inconvenient places can be changed. "

Seeing that the crowd had finished stuttering in twos and threes, ello patted his hand: "now, let's go! I hope our planning activity can be a complete success! Remember, although the purpose of our mermaid song is to make money, on the other hand, we also want to enrich the winter entertainment life of several nearby towns and give Pelican town extra income in winter. Please don't forget these three points. When the three goals conflict, you can persuade them if you can. If you can't persuade them, try to take the income of Pelican town as the first priority. Do you understand? "

Everyone answered, and then walked out of the guild gate bravely and began to work!

————

Busy with work, everyone in Pelican town was mobilized.

Even the elderly, women and children work hard for this activity as long as they can help.

Arrow constantly shuttles back and forth in each unit every day, investigating the situation and fine-tuning the problems in reality.

I have to say that arrow really wants to thank Pelican town for its action. After all, when he saw with his own eyes that the huge and exquisite fountain in the square was smashed down at one breath, but none of the villagers nearby had any pity expression, he was still a little impressed.

The logging father made a roller, and the villagers hung it on the buildings around the square according to the instructions. As long as you open it, you can pull out the cloth to block the snow in the sky. When you put it away, you can see the sun hanging overhead.

Tons of sand and stones were dug from the foot of the Changmian mountains, and solid trees were transported from the shining forest.

People connect the arena according to the existing waterways, surround the entrances and exits one by one, and block some places that are easy to be exploited. From time to time, people can be heard shouting to make people careful, and then a hammer smashed the walls of high-rise buildings on the edge of the square.

Leaving the square, people began to come in and out of every vacant building in the town. They cleaned the houses and made everything in order. Almost every day, you can see several buildings take on a new look!

When encountering problems, the townspeople discussed with each other and thought about ways to solve the problems. Sometimes, when arrow came to hear the news, these experienced locals had solved the problem and put themselves back into busy work.

Even the publicity work that worried arrow most is now in good order.

When the little liquor owner came back for the third time with a publicity team and a lot of preparations, he handed a big bag to arrow.

When I opened it, it was full of all kinds of copper and iron coins, just enough for five gold coins. That means 500 people's tickets have been sold out!

In the face of the serious face of the little spirits boss, arrow was laughing so hard that his hat was about to fall off. Fortunately, he held on, covered his hat and ran away in time.

All the work went smoothly, but in the process of all this, there was still a little hidden worry in ello's heart.

How can we make this battle really like what I said, even if both sides go all out, it will not cause blood, disability or death between both sides?

As the days get closer, the worry in arrow's heart becomes more and more obvious.

"Napa, will you? This magic. "

Dinner time, it seems that the guild war will begin in a few days. But this problem has never been solved, and arrow had to ask the Warcraft.

Napa, who was drinking milk, raised her head, slightly flashed her ears and said, "well... I haven't heard of this kind of magic. Are you sure your old vine college can do that? "

Arrow nodded and said with great certainty, "sure. The practical courses in our school are very strict, so there are not a few students who go all out. But I'm really surprised that every time they play, they can look unscathed. So this time, I hope it can produce such an effect. "

Napa shook her head slightly and said with a flick of her tail, "that's not simple. Just cast a powerful protective magic on her body? After playing, it's not painful or itchy. It doesn't even hurt at all. We happen to have a high priest here. Ask him if he can do this great defense magic. "
