Surdak looked shocked and Gandel said, "We’ll go to the town hall."
Gandel dreamed that the mayor of Marco, Duodan Town, was so impatient that he fled with money.
At this time, I can bite the bullet and say, "I don’t think I can run far. Do you want to send some cavalry to chase one along the way?"
A group of people walked through the city wall and Surdak learned something from this officer called Upton before saying
"Mayor Marco’s family should have just one day’s journey from Dodan Town last night, Andrew. Find some local guides in your town and send a cavalry team to all possible walks. It is necessary to get Mayor Marco back."
"Yes!" Andrew gave a military salute and rode away.
Quartermaster Gandel took a sympathetic look at Surdak and secretly lamented that he was unlucky in five narrow towns. He chose Duodan Town. Since he arrived in Duodan Town early, he has not been able to have a good meal. He also encountered such a nasty thing as the mayor absconding with money.
Just following Surdak to climb the wall, he exhausted his last strength. Now he doesn’t even have the strength to ride a horse, so he called his deputy and asked him to call his magic van. Seeing that the coachman was holding a plate and shoveling the last peas into his mouth, he wiped his mouth with sleeves and felt even hungrier.
……
Mrs. luna sat at her desk with a gaunt face. She usually combed meticulously and her hair was a little loose
She was holding a quill pen in her hand and writing absently on a piece of parchment. She didn’t know what she had written, and she felt that she was ok. Life seemed to be turned upside down.
Although she has been coldly and spurned by the people in the town in recent years, after all, the man behind her is Mayor Marco, the uncompromising consul of the town. Those who spit on her will still be flattering in front of her, and she will pretend that she doesn’t know what these people are gossiping about her secretly.
What does it matter if she is mayor Marco’s mistress if she wants to live a decent life?
Anyway, mayor Marco’s mistress in this small town is not the only one. How many women are envious?
She knew that in recent two years, she was a little old, and when she reached middle age, she had a few shallow wrinkles around her eyes. Even Mayor Marco rarely spent the night there recently. She knew that Marco had found two young sisters in town, and her life was not as comfortable as before …
But after all, he is still a secret around him, and he needs to help him deal with some public affairs himself.
But now she’s completely panicked
Without mayor Marco, she held up an umbrella behind her, and she didn’t even know what life would be like after her.
Mrs. luna is a married husband and a prominent family in the town.
Now Marco just ran away like a lost dog without taking himself! Mrs. luna can’t even think about life after covering her face …
A magic van parked outside the town hall. Mrs. luna quickly cleaned up her mood and rubbed her stiff face to meet the people coming to clean up the mess.
Surdak walked into the town hall
The receptionist got up at once, and there was a lot of discussion in the lobby on the first floor, and his officials also consciously surrounded him.
Seeing Mrs. luna coming down the stairs, Surdak asked seriously, "What happened to the tax collector?"
Mrs. luna stretched out her hand and put her long golden hair on her temples to her ears, pretending to be calm and said to Surdak with a smile.
"I was tied with a rope in the lounge all night, and my legs were swollen and I couldn’t walk."
Surdak frowned and saw so many people around the reception hall of the town hall. Some said crossly
"Show me."
Mrs. luna leads the way in front. She doesn’t have the second floor, but goes straight along the corridor on one side of the reception hall
Surdak followed and asked
"Has the town lost statistics?"
Mrs. luna stopped. She didn’t see the young commander go on the rampage. She thought he was a very rational person, so she handed the prepared account book to Surdak to let him know about the accounts of Duodan Town.
Surdak was not stretched out his hand to pick up.
Surdak, the local garrison commander, has no intention of taking over Duodan Town.
Mrs. luna held the books back to her chest and sipped her mouth and said, "All the 1,357 gold coins in the vault safe were taken away by the mayor."
Surdak asked in surprise, "There are more than 1,300 gold coins in the vault of Duodan Town?"
Mrs. luna frowned slightly. This more than 1,300 gold coins is almost accumulated by the tax revenue of Duodan Town for the whole year.
But what she read in Surdak’s eyes was’ Is there that little money?’
Chapter 714 The past
This can’t blame Surdak for thinking that the town account is a little fake.
The establishment of this cavalry battalion made him realize how rich some seemingly ordinary nobles in the city are.
A Gubolai horse in the horse market is worth 2 gold, which is more than 1,000 gold coins, but it is enough to buy more than 6 horses. Think about the Goss family ranch in Kieran Town. It is said that there are seven horses in the pasture, and each herd needs hundreds of Gubolai horses. In this way, it is tens of thousands of gold coins less.
It is estimated that there should also be some in Duodan Town, a noble town with such financial resources
Although I know that the land is a typical country with rich people and weak countries, I didn’t expect the finance of Duodan Town Hall to be so embarrassed.
Mrs. luna secretly left the pie mouth holding the books and complained
"This month, everyone’s salary has not been paid, so this money is available."
She secretly glanced at Surdak and saw that he still couldn’t understand the sample before explaining
"The tax revenue in the town has not been very good at ordinary times. Most of the big transactions are done by trading firms, but they seldom file tax returns."
"The town’s income usually depends on the store business tax, which is brought by the adventure group."
"In addition, there is a town resident population tax and a land transaction tax, but who is willing to run to this enclosure recently?"
"At this time, the adventure groups are gradually withdrawing from Duodan Town, and the tax revenue is very unusual. One-third of the town’s income in these two months is very difficult to maintain daily expenses …"
Just then, everyone has come to a lounge. The room is not big. There is a small bed in it. A small bed with a tired face is lying in a narrow bed. He is wearing white linen pants and a white shirt. His thighs are like carrots. At the moment, they show a purple sauce.
Two women and several young men and women around the window look like the tax collector’s family. The clothes they are wearing are all made of silk. Although the tax collector is not noble, he should belong to a wealthy family among civilians.
A maid is rubbing the tax official’s legs, but it doesn’t look optimistic. His legs are covered with purple blood, which is a bit scary to think of.
Surdak came to the front.
The wives of the tax collectors saw that Surdak didn’t know who he was, but they knew his noble badge on his chest. They quickly got up and their eyes were full of grievances. They just grabbed Surdak and cried out for the people to make decisions.
