Chapter 120 Finally Willing to Leave

A cold light flashed in Chi Nan's eyes: "I'm really sorry, there are many things going on in my territory now, and I'm very busy. You can see that I can't leave now, so I can only apologize."

"What, how can you say that, this is the order of Earl Longgen."

Chi Nan said calmly: "If I remember correctly, all nobles are equal, and Earl Longgen is not qualified to order me. Even if he wants to order, only the Third Princess has the qualification."

This is true, Chi Nan was personally ordered by the Third Princess Sophia to be canonized, so he is a subordinate noble of Sophia. But other nobles, at least for now, do not have an absolute subordinate relationship with him.

Now, Mo Cha finally knew what he said wrong. For a long time, in the local area, the great nobles usually hold the absolute lifeline of the small nobles, so it is normal for them to order the small nobles. Especially in the army, orders must be strictly enforced, but Chi Nan does not belong to their subordinate army at all. "

Mocha was silent for a while, and finally thought of something: "You can't not go. Now the front line is in danger. If the front line collapses, then your territory will be the first to be affected. You can't stop so many wild orcs at all."

Chi Nan nodded: "You are right, I can't stop them, but as long as we retreat back to Hongshaling, then relying on the roads outside, it is still no problem to protect ourselves. We are self-sufficient here, and we have everything."

"Why are you so stubborn? Don't you think about yourself? I have inquired about your territory outside, which is several times larger than Hongshaling. Can you bear to give up so much?"

"What if I don't give up? Anyway, I'm not the only one who gives up. At most, I can develop the Death Forest."

Mocha immediately misunderstood. Chi Nan is a half-elf. Like elves, half-elves have a different feeling for forests. Developing forests is a hard job for humans, but it's nothing for half-elves.

"My lord, maybe you can lure them with benefits, isn't there any benefit? "Luo Jia reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Mo Cha nodded quickly. His subordinate really liked me. "Baron Chi Nan, this transaction is not completely without benefits. As long as you participate in the transaction, the taxation of Hongshaling can be exempted in the future."

Chi Nan was stunned: "What taxation?" Chi Nan really had never heard of it.

Mo Cha immediately explained: "Every territory must pay taxes according to the size of the territory and the size of the lord's noble title, and every noble is no exception. If you have made great contributions this time, then Hongshaling will not have to pay taxes while you are still alive. This is the condition that Earl Longgen gave you before I came."

Chi Nan thought silently. This Rusya Empire is really good at playing. It actually came up with such a policy.

As long as the tax is paid according to the noble's territory and title, no matter whether the territory is rich or not, no matter what situation the major territories encounter, the royal family does not need to manage it. As long as I collect taxes according to the mark, there will be no problem.

"Then, what if the production of some noble territories cannot pay taxes? "

Mocha felt that he couldn't keep up with the train of thought, but still said: "Most territories can't pay taxes. So our main income is usually from caravans and other industries of the lords."

"Many nobles have territories, but they don't manage them because they produce too little. So they use their caravans to make money to supplement taxes. Territories can't be lost. The previous lord of Hongshaling did the same. "

So that's what happened. This is equivalent to the empire directly collecting two taxes. Transactions are taxed, and they have to make up for the territory taxes themselves. It's really a sure win. Although it doesn't look very flexible.

However, such a policy is of great benefit to me. As long as the taxes are paid, no matter how powerful my territory is, the king can't collect extra taxes from me. If you want your own things, you can only get them through transactions or other policy benefits.

"My Hongshaling is not big, and the taxes are not much. It's not much good for me. "

Baron Mocha only said that Hongshaling was tax-free, not the new territory outside. Then the new territory that he conquered will still have to pay taxes according to the requirements in the future, which is absolutely inevitable.

Mocha felt that cold sweat was about to break out on his head. Facing such a stubborn guy, it was really the first time he encountered it. All kinds of diplomatic means were useless. This half-elf could only see the benefits.

"In short, the current situation is like this. If you don't trade with the front-line troops, you will also be blamed after losing. This is definitely not something you are willing to bear."

Chi Nan narrowed his eyes, and Mocha seemed not to see it, and continued: "And you originally wanted to sell these things. Without the imperial army to buy, who else would dare to buy them casually. This is the best opportunity. The last point is that as long as you can hinder the attack of the crazy orcs, you will definitely be a great achievement as a weapon provider. "

Chi Nan smiled. This was what he was waiting for. Besides selling weapons, he also wanted military merit. Without military merit, he could not be promoted to a higher rank. Without enough rank, all the newly conquered territories would have to be returned to the kingdom.

Chi Nan did not want to throw away the meat in his mouth, so he had to do this. Although it was Mo Cha who said this, he would never dare to say this without the instruction of the commander, Earl Longgen.

Seeing that Mocha was about to get angry and was about to do anything, Chi Nan finally gave in.

"Okay, in that case, let's pack up and take some pea cannons with us. The front-line headquarters is quite far from us, and it will take several days to walk."

"Don't bother, just get to the front line, the people in the headquarters have been mobilized. As long as your pea cannons are in supply, the headquarters will be here in the future." During the war, everything is aimed at victory.

Chi Nan nodded slightly and ordered his men to start packing. Mocha finally breathed a sigh of relief. This guy finally agreed to follow him. It was so tiring to deal with this guy, and I would never see him again.

The soldiers packed up quickly, in fact, this was because Chi Nan had already explained it. He knew that he must go there in person this time. Such a large transaction volume could not be finalized by Mocha alone. Besides, for those who participated in the transaction, this was also a great achievement. Such a great achievement, how could those nobles give it to Mocha.

The most important thing is that the commander cannot leave the army, otherwise there will be trouble.
