Chapter 209: Taxation in Wano Country

"You mean, that Oden dances more happily? And before, Oden went to Orochi, and there was crying in the room?" Lily looked at the intelligence officer in front of her and said.

"Yes, Oden is dancing more vigorously now, even, even." The intelligence officer's words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them. He froze there, unable to say a word.

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate." Lily frowned and said.

"Yes, it's like this. This Oden used to wear crotch pants, but, but now, this guy sometimes doesn't even wear this, and directly becomes a complete naked dance." The intelligence officer felt that what he said was disgusting, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it. He almost died of nausea.

"Okay, stop talking, it's really disgusting. By the way, let me inform you, don't let the children go to Wano Country in the near future. Do you understand?" Lily felt that she was also disgusted. How shameless does a person have to be to do such a thing? Does this guy really have no sense of shame? He didn't, and neither did his subordinates? Their boss was so humiliated, but this group of people didn't say anything and just accepted it. Lily felt that this world was too crazy.

"Yes, do you need to continue reporting?" asked the intelligence officer.

"Go on, tell me about our current occupied position and the situation of the people under our rule." Lily calmed down, forced herself to forget the picture in her mind, and poured a glass of water for the intelligence officer.

"Yes, thank you." The intelligence officer took the water cup with gratitude, drank it in three or two sips, and then continued to report.

"Now the tax rate we implement in the occupied area of ​​Wano Country is 30% tax, which is as low as it can be compared to the previous tax rate of 10% tax and 6% tax in Wano Country. In fact, until now, many people in Wano Country do not believe that our tax is real, and we have abolished various taxes such as: head tax, land tax, corvée, fire tax and other miscellaneous taxes. Now many people in Wano Country have already worshipped the flag of the beast as a statue." The intelligence officer said, and he couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart.

There are weirdos everywhere, and there are especially many in Wano Country. Without the pressure of the World Government, Wano Country is so cruel to its own people, 10% tax 6! The standard tax of a country can reach this level! This is simply unbelievable!

Taylor's hometown Headhunting Island was forced to rebel by the officials, but what was the tax on Headhunting Island at that time? 10% tax 4! That's right, the tax on Headhunting Island that makes people unable to survive is not as good as the most common tax level in Wano Country! This does not include various exorbitant taxes!

And Wano Country has more exorbitant taxes, such as the ones just mentioned, head tax: every household has several people to pay taxes, even if the child is not born, and you have to pay taxes if you are pregnant. Land tax: your house also has to pay taxes, how much you pay, unless you hide in the uninhabited mountains and wilderness, otherwise you have to pay taxes. Fire tax: you have to pay taxes when you go out to a restaurant, yes, it's firewood money.

There are countless such methods. Anyway, as long as they can collect money, they can think of various taxation methods. But do you think that's the end? How is it possible? The above are handed over to the dignitaries above, and there are samurai below. Those samurai are the real bone-sucking, because in theory, the land is awarded to the samurai by the generals and daimyo, and those farmers who cultivate the land are equivalent to tenants. The remaining food is likely to be taken away by the samurai. If you are lucky enough to meet someone like Qiu Shui who doesn't care about things, it's considered good luck, but most samurai will deduct as much as they can, as long as no one dies below. Of course, if no one dies, it's not a kind heart, but if no one dies, no one will cultivate the land, and the tax revenue may not be paid next year.

That's right, the tax revenue of Wano Country has a fixed value. If 60% is higher than this fixed value, then it is 10% tax and 6%. If it is lower, then it is based on this fixed value. If the total amount is lower than this fixed value, then take it all. No food to eat? Who told you not to work hard?

Do you know why Oden became more popular after he took charge of Kuri and became the daimyo of Kuri, and turned Kuri into a paradise? It's very simple. This guy set the tax rate to 10% tax and 4%, which is still very high, but for Wano Country, this is a low tax! And because he had few samurai under his command, and they were all from poor backgrounds and didn't understand so many ways of taxation, this made Oden a little popular in Kuri. Of course, it's not that there are fewer taxes and levies. After all, this thing belongs to the roots. Oden and others grew up in this environment, how could they be exempt from it? It's just that they haven't studied this aspect and don't have so many skills to make up names.

(Don't think it's an exaggeration. This is the situation in the history of Wa. Since Oda used the ancient Wa as a blueprint to write Wano Country, let's just restore it to its fullest and tear off the last layer of fig leaf for you.)

And in the original timeline, why could the people tolerate Orochi and Kaido for twenty years? It's not because they believe in the so-called prophecy so much, it's just that they were already living a bad life. If Orochi hadn't taken away their last chance of survival, the people wouldn't care who would be the general. They even said that if Orochi issued an order that as long as all the remnants of Kozuki were found, the pollution of the land would stop and the national tax policy would be changed to 10% tax, it would be guaranteed that the people of Wano Country would completely forget about the Kozuki family and serve them with all their strength. It can only be said that Orochi, who has never left Wano Country, is too short-sighted.

And now the strategy implemented by the beasts has completely captured the hearts of the grassroots people in Wano Country. After all, they never thought that they could get land, and the tax was so low. As long as they worked hard for a year, they could feed their whole family. If they worked hard for a few more years, they could even build a few good houses. Moreover, the beasts also encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, and the reclaimed wasteland could be tax-free. At the same time, the beasts also got some high-yield crops from the little people. Now the grassroots people in Wano Country feel that they are living in the legendary kingdom of God. Now they support the beasts 120%. After all, these situations are only useful under the rule of the beasts. If the samurai come back, they will definitely not admit such things. At that time, such grassroots people will become tenants again and will not see hope in their lives.

"Very good, by the way, has anyone run back from the city recently?" Lily asked.

This is a very realistic problem. The cities of each daimyo are supported by the labor of the people below. Now that the Hundred Beasts have taken control of all the villages, although there is still food in the cities of each daimyo, and it can still be maintained by purchasing, it is still generally desolate. When the nobles began to decline, the low-level warriors and gangsters naturally could not support it. They did not have so much food and money to squander. In addition, some merchants took the opportunity to start selling rare goods. The price of food in the daimyo city changed every day. They really couldn't stand it, so they secretly disguised themselves and ran out, disguised as farmers, or ran out to rob food. These people could not escape the villagers' reports and the eyes of the Hundred Beasts patrol team, and they were all arrested. No one escaped for the time being.

"We have captured more than a dozen of them recently, but they are all simply unable to survive. We tortured them and found that they did not commit any serious crimes. They were all sentenced to mining for half a year to atone their sins. If they did not commit any other bad behaviors, they would be allowed to go back to farming. In general, the collapse of the daimyo castles has begun. They will not be able to hold on for two years at most. By then, I am afraid that they will starve themselves to death without having to fight us." The intelligence officer said confidently.

Now, Baijuu and Oden both believe that the decisive battle will be in two years. Baijuu is an analysis of various data, while Oden trusts Orochi. Orochi is a general estimate of the speed at which Oden's reputation is declining, and the time that the Flower Kingdom can hold on. But no matter what, two years later has been decided to be the decisive battle, and both sides are waiting.

"We're back!"

"We're back!"

Kaido pushed open the door, and together with Yamato in front of him, the two of them, one big and one small, stood at the door with their hands on their hips and chests puffed out, laughing. They were the kind of people who didn't need a paternity test, and you could tell they were a family just by looking at their expressions.

"We're back, come and take a rest, you go down first, leave the information here for me to look at." Lily smiled, looking at the intelligence officer who was in a dilemma, Lily helped him out, and the intelligence officer bowed and left.

"How was the fun?" Lily picked up Yamato and said.

"Very happy! Uncle Edward asked me to call him daddy, they gave me a lot of gifts, and there was a big brother with hair like a pineapple, he could also turn into a big bird, and he also had flames, just like my mother, but he was not as handsome as my mother when he turned into a big bird!" Yamato talked about what he saw and heard, and Lily didn't say anything but smiled and watched.

"Well, notify people and let them connect with Newgate. That old stubborn finally knows how to use the power of business. Send a few people to help them. Just to see what business we can do." Kaido saw Lily looking at him and put Yamato's gift on the table and said.

"Okay." Lily nodded, and Kaido laughed again.
