All Things Wrong

Coma is an ordinary peasant near the city of Satumare. There are five people in his family and six acres of land. Although not very rich, it is not bad. This year’s autumn harvest is over. Six acres of land are basically big harvests. Wheat is piled up in warehouses. Coma has also completed the most important work of the year. Now wait for Sir Lord to get the taxes and then Go to the town and sell some grain, and then there will be a rest period all winter.

“Coma! Go to the village square. The document above is here.” I was sitting at the door of my house drinking tea, and rushed over to a person next to him. Coma looked up. Vince.

“Oh, is the autumn tax?” Coma was nodded, and it was almost time, and she was ready early, so he got up and followed Devens to the village square with a small wooden table on it. Speak above.

“Have you all come?” The village chief, Aike, looked at the people below. Basically, every household had sent someone, so nodded, “Dear everyone, call everyone here today, I believe everyone knows what it is It ’s over. The annual autumn harvest is over. It ’s time to pay taxes. This year, the city of Satumare, which belongs to our village of Xikor, is no longer under the jurisdiction of the empire. Everyone knows that a new duke is here. My lord, the entire Lancaster area has become the Lancaster duchy. Our village is now also the territory of Lancaster duchy, so this year’s tax is just set by the Lord Duke, and the official document has been sent to Satuma. Thunder, I just went back and watched it. “

“Village chief, we already know, you can say what the tax rate is.” The next villager said that the owner of the place had been notified a few days ago, and everyone knew that the boss above had become The Duke of Aquitaine has nothing to do with them. Taxes are not paid the same every year, can it be changed if you change people?

“Okay, everyone listens. The tax rate set by Lord Duke this year is … 70%!” The Lord Mayor suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the villagers below.

“Ha?” The people below were all stunned, right?

“Yes. I could n’t believe it when I first heard it, it was 70%. This is an impossible tax rate. Sir Lord is really … too great to us. The old villager burst into tears as he said it.

“70%? 70%! God, Sir Lord actually charged us a tax rate of 70%!” The villagers below came back to his senses, and immediately began to get restless, “There are eight people in my family. If you pay a tax of 70%. Isn’t that going to starve to death? This … this is just amazing! “

“Oh my god, this new lord is too kind, and actually charged a tax rate of 70%. This is good. Our family is going to starve to death. It looks like I’m going to sell a son. Thank you Sir Lord!” A villager said gratefully.

“70%, I have never encountered such a good Sir Lord. Thanks Bright God for sending this kind Lord to us.”

“Finally, I can’t live anymore. Great, Coma, have you heard that? It looks like our family will be starved to death this year.” Devins said, pulling Coma excitedly, their family There are more brothers in general. In total, there are 11 individuals, and the land is relatively small. In the past, 15% taxes have been a bit tight. This year, there is no way to live, which makes Devens so excited that he can’t help himself.

“Great. Devens!” Coma also felt a warm current flowing in her heart, very happy for her neighbors who wanted to starve the whole family. The tax is 70%. This year, the family is still hungry. One year For nothing, although it is not a big deal, Coma is still happy.

“Villages, I am so excited to hear this. I have been a village head for more than ten years. How have you been so high for such a disgusting tax rate, not to mention, the empire now asks lords everywhere They have to rest and rest, and ca n’t charge such a high tax rate. Sir Lord, for the sake of our lives, was facing such a large risk and charged us a tax of 70%. This … what a great lord! ”Village Emma Chang said as she patted her chest.

“Long live Sir Lord!” “Long live Sir Lord!”

No need to remind the village chief here, the villagers below immediately shouted, and Devins and Coma immediately shouted. Everyone was grateful from the heart. The shout was earth-shattering. .

“Everyone is quiet, everybody is quiet.” The village chief Emma immediately pressed her hands and signaled everyone to be quiet. Soon the scene calmed down again. Emma here said, “Dear, I decided to thank Sir Lord’s kindness, I’m going to Sovata City in person, and I hope to thank the great Sir Lord personally. “

“Village chief, I want to go too!” One of the villagers below shouted immediately.

“I’m going too! My family is absolutely starving to death this year, and I must thank Sir Lord before that!”

“I want to go too!” “I want to go!”

“Everyone is quiet!” Emma said with a cane as she stood on the floor. “I’ll do it. The tax collectors will be here tomorrow. All of your households are here to prepare for the tax to be handed in early. Sir Lord is so good to us, you can’t bother Sir Lord. Your mind, just pass it to Sir Lord. “

“The village chief makes sense.” The villagers below were also nodded. The tax collector was gone, and it wasn’t that he couldn’t find anyone. This wasn’t delaying Sir Lord’s taxes. Sir Lord was so kind to himself.

“Okay, Mr. Village, we will stay with the tax official to pay the tax immediately.” The villagers below said one after another.

“Okay … I’m leaving today. My son, Selwyn, will meet the tax officer for me tomorrow. Everyone must cooperate. Don’t make trouble for Sir Lord, you know?” Emma warned repeatedly.

“Rest assured the village chief, we must cooperate well!” The villagers answered in succession.

“Okay, dissolve, I’m ready to go,” said the village chief Emma with a wave.

The villagers immediately dispersed, and they went home to notify their family members of the good news at one point to make them happy.

The next day, on the way to Xikol Village, the tax collector Pavlov moved into Xikol Village with a tense expression. He really didn’t want to come. This year’s tax is not collected by people. Tax? This is obviously a robbery. How can you, the peasants who collect 70% tax, survive? This is absolutely rebellious.

City Lord Bacau has ordered martial law. When the tax collector was dispatched in the morning, the little official Pavlov who had not been able to turn up was actually elected, because his boss resigned yesterday. Nonsense. The thing, his greedy boss feared death had run away. Unfortunately, Pavlov didn’t respond. He was directly appointed by City Lord this morning. Now he is still followed by more than thirty city guards, saying that he wants to protect himself. In fact, Pavlov also understands and is afraid of himself. Also ran away.

Imagine what happened today, there must be a lot of angry villagers asking themselves what the tax rate is, and then there was excitement and chopped himself up as a tax officer to kick off the uprising. Pavlov here is thinking more and more The more I was afraid, the more I was afraid to go slower. The city guards behind didn’t know what was going on, and kept urging Pavlov to hurry up.

After a long delay, Pavlov still arrived at the entrance of Xikol Village. This was his first stop, but Pavlov felt that he didn’t have much life to go to the next stop. The hundred pounds must be accounted for today. Here it is.

“Come here!” As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, Pavlov’s team here was discovered by several villagers who were waiting for them. The villagers who immediately reported to the village went to the village chief’s agent, Selwyn. .

“It’s over … it’s over …” Pavlov immediately saw a lot of excited villagers moved towards them, rushing over, Pavlov’s legs were soft, and he almost stopped.

“What do you want to do, just stand still!” The City Guard immediately stepped forward and stopped in front of the villagers and said.

“Is it the Lord Revenue Officer?” Asked the village chief, Selwyn.

“This is the tax collector, Lord Pavlov. Now he is going to collect taxes in Xikol Village. Why do you folks block the way, I wonder what the crime is for delaying taxes!” City Guard Captain took a step forward. The villagers roared.

“Master Pavlov forgive me!” The villagers here were startled and immediately knelt down and said in unison to Pavlov in the middle.

“Well? How is it different from what you imagined?” Pavlov here stunned, shouldn’t he rush into a few people and tear himself into pieces? How does it feel that this is not the case, for the first time, this little official was called Lord Pavlov, and Pavlov was very refreshed and brave, Pavlov stepped forward and said, “I It’s the tax collector Pavlov, you … what are you doing? “

“Master Pavlov, Cao Min is the son of the village chief of Sikor Village, and my dad asked me to receive you. It is not easy for you to come here. The village has prepared a banquet, just wait It ’s coming, I hope he looks good, ”Selwyn said immediately.

“Wine … banquet?” Pavlov here couldn’t figure it out. It would be nice without tearing himself off. He also prepared a banquet for himself. You are joking.

“Yes, sir, please enter the village quickly,” Selwyn said again.

“No, why is this guy laughing so happily.” Pavlov suddenly didn’t know what was going on, and began to think wildly, “There must be a problem. There must be a problem with this banquet. Is it to catch me alive or to see There are so many people here, want to poison us to death? “

“Jack!” Pavlov boldly stepped forward and said, “I … how can I have time to drink, you should pay the tax, I … I will go to the next place.”

“My lord, forgive me!” Serwin said immediately. “Then please ask my lord to take a break in the village, and we will start paying taxes immediately.” )
