Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

Tranquility Sea took the lead in walking into the church with a step that did not recognize any relatives. Everyone followed Tranquility Sea into the church one after another. Bishop White closed the copper door of the church behind them. This action almost made the hidden old man think that their identities were exposed, and he was so scared that he almost jumped out.

Fortunately, Tranquility Sea reacted very quickly, pretending to accidentally press the hidden old man's shoulder, and the two of them squeezed it lightly like brothers.

Today's Rain also spoke in the channel in time.

Team Today's Rain: Don't be nervous, our identities should not be exposed, relax! 】

The Sea of ​​Tranquility gently patted the Hidden Old Man's shoulder, then retracted his hand, and greeted Bishop White who turned around after closing the door with a fake smile: "It's convenient to talk here, right?"

"That's right, that's right." After closing the door, Bishop White's expression became much more natural: "There are too many people outside, it's not easy to discuss these things... Have you heard about the Azure Sea Church?"

"Yes, it was spread when we boarded the ship." The Sea of ​​Tranquility said seriously-this is the information that the adventurer found out given by the system】, and the Sea of ​​Tranquility judged that this is probably real information that can be used.

According to the information that Youyu got from the Chamber of Commerce today, the taxes in Nanzhou are not actually collected directly from the people by the tax officials, but are collected by the local bishops first. After all, there is no electronic payment in the territory of the Church of Light, and the taxes are all physical currency or the grain and grass that the Church of Light urgently needs. It is very troublesome to weigh and inspect.

Not to mention collecting taxes for a city, even if it is for a hundred or eighty people, it will take a day to weigh and inspect.

The bigger the city, the earlier the tax collection will start. As for the 'Tax Day', it is the last day of the tax payment period, the 'deadline' - if you really don't pay, you will die.

The tax officer is responsible for the last step.

These tax officers will arrive at the local Church of Light before or on the tax day, check and count the collected taxes, and then escort them back to the upper church. In the case of Nanzhou, the taxes will be transported to the seaport for loading and sent back to the Holy City of Zhongzhou.

If the local bishop fails to collect the taxes, the tax officer will bring a team of extraordinary people and go to the door one by one according to the list to ask for them.

If the local bishops will be lenient and show mercy because they have lived in the local area for many years, these tax officers sent from above are truly ruthless.

They have great authority. They not only have the right to violently urge people who have not paid their taxes, but also have the right to check all account books and investigate whether the local bishops have any illegal behaviors such as sheltering and condoning in the tax collection process.

This rule was originally set up to supervise the local bishops. After all, these churches are far away from the Holy City. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away, who can guarantee that these bishops can still maintain their integrity after ten or twenty years?

But when the Church of Light has become a place where filth and dirt are hidden, this supervision system has become a sword for tax officials to levy heavy taxes.

Bishop White's attitude changed from hostile to approachable, which must be related to Ellem's reputation as a "fair and strict" tax officer.

As a cunning citizen, Tranquility Sea is not only good at observing words and expressions, but also has a very fast mind, and he figured out the trick in a moment.
