- Chapter 273 Vicious Competition
With the increase in tax rates, on the surface, the free city seems to be prosperous, but in fact, the transaction volume is showing a diving trend, falling continuously!
Since the Free City only collects taxes when bulk goods change hands in the trading area, once everyone no longer trades here, there will be no tax to collect. After everyone rests here for a while, they will continue on their way without trading here at all. For businessmen, this place has become a post station and a place for everyone to rest.
Originally, with tax support, it could still last for a while, but with the increase in tax rates, it is no longer profitable to change hands in the free city, so naturally no one will change hands, and the tax revenue has dropped three times in just one month! In the second month, the weight dropped three times more. In the last month, it was better, but the weight dropped twice as much! The taxes collected are not even enough to cover the wages of employees and the military expenses of the legion!
Faced with this situation, the eldest prince had to ask for help from the royal family again. Faced with this situation, the royal financial officers gathered together again to study countermeasures, and finally made a decision to increase the inbound and outbound taxes! Only in this way can we have the most secure income. Otherwise, everyone would just rest here but not trade here, and there would be no tax to collect at all!
Faced with this, the eldest prince could only obey. Apart from this, he had no other choice! But I never thought that once the city entry tax and the city exit tax are increased, the number of merchants in the free city will decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye. You have to pay taxes when you enter a city, and you have to pay again when you leave the city. This is too exaggerated. Once you trade here, , and even have to pay high taxes. This is so crazy. Smaller caravans would rather take a detour than enter the free city.
As the number of businessmen entering the city decreases, the tax on entering and exiting the city also decreases at a rate like a flood. We have no choice but to increase the commercial tax! Each store must pay 30% commercial tax, and every product sold must pay 30% tax!
In just over half a year, the businessmen of the Free City were shocked to discover that the Free City was no longer free! The free city at this moment is no different from other cities!
This city has to pay the taxes that other cities have to pay, and the Free City seems to have to pay the taxes that other cities don¡¯t need to pay! No one understands what the eldest prince is going to do! What was a free city that was making money every day was turned into a mess within half a year, from a city of hope with unlimited potential to a shabby city like a smelly ditch.
Facing the gradually declining city, the businessmen who bought the shops at high prices are angry! Originally, they could make a lot of money, but the big prince has only been here for more than half a year, so not only did they not make any money, but they were likely to lose a lot of money!
Nowadays, few businessmen are willing to come to the Free City. It seems that they all go to the east of the Free City, to a city called the City of Friendship. And it is said that the City of Hope is the Grand Duke who originally established the Free City. Created!
The situation now is obvious. The Free City is over. The people who originally established the Free City have now established another Free City next to it. However, the name is no longer called the Free City, but changed to the City of Friendship!
Although the City of Friendship is not in the real center of the continent, it is actually not that far apart. The straight-line distance between the two cities is only more than a hundred miles. For the entire kingdom, the two cities are actually at the same point. Even if some businessmen want to take a detour, they can't go far.
Seeing the wealth they had acquired flowing away like a tide, the merchants in tens of thousands of shops were furious. Seeing that the City of Friendship was bound to snatch away all the merchants, they had no choice but to do anything.
Although the City of Friendship robbed everyone of their business, everyone knew that it was not the City of Friendship that really ruined their jobs, but the royal family of Gary! It was their greed that led to this result!
In the same city, Grand Duke Hana is running the business with great success. He can earn a huge amount of money every month, which can be described as making a fortune every day.
But when the eldest prince came, everything changed completely. He only knew how to collect money, but did not know how to invest funds to expand the city. Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are added under various names. When so many taxes are established, even if there is no Friendship City, this place is completely ruined, and no one is willing to come in casually.
In fact, the Free City had already declined long before the establishment of the City of Friendship. The originally noisy streets had become sparse with pedestrians. Only after the Free City completely became no different from ordinary cities did the City of Friendship officially open to the outside world. , Therefore, no one hates the City of Friendship. After all the City of Friendship was only opened after the death of freedom.
In anger, I don¡¯t know who took the lead, led the business group escort, and attackedIn the main palace, the large amount of money invested at the beginning has been wasted. Everyone wants to sell it, but no one is willing to pay to buy it.
With anger and anger, the conflict got out of control. The furious merchants led their guards and destroyed the city lord's palace, which was the original grand duke's palace. Not only that, they also clashed with the grand prince's guard regiment!
At the beginning, it was just a conflict, but as several strange business group guards became ruthless, they wiped out a thousand-man city guard brigade in a short time! It directly lit the fuse.
No one knows how the war broke out, and no one knows who fired the first shot. The entire conflict lasted the entire afternoon, plus the entire night. At dawn the next day, when the sky lit up again, everything changed. it's over.
The city lord¡¯s mansion was completely burned down. The eldest prince and his ten ninth-level guards all died in the chaos. Under the cover of night, no one knew who killed them!
Faced with this news, the Gary royal family was greatly shocked and sent the first, second, and third knights to the Free City to suppress it. However, everything was actually meaningless. The damned ones were already dead. Even if peace was restored, But the Free City is finished.
With the death of the eldest prince, the royal family sent the eighth prince to take over the Free City. This time the eighth prince led the entire administrative team here. After a series of inspections, he finally came to the conclusion that the Free City has truly Every inch of land has been sold. The original plan of the Free City is no longer feasible here. The Free City is finished, completely finished.
The eighth prince is very talented in business, but has no intention of competing for the throne, so the first two people who came here were not him. You must know that Free City is the best tool to compete for the throne. If you are not the crown prince, you will have no chance to come. Who is this peach? All can be picked.
After inspecting the Free City, the Eighth Prince directly wrote to the royal family, suggesting that the royal family abandon the Free City directly. Every drop of blood and sweat has been squeezed out of the Free City. To the royal family, the Free City is actually a corpse. No matter how much money is spent, it will not matter. There will be rewards. The more you smash in, the worse you will lose.
After inspecting the Free City, the Eighth Prince rushed to the City of Friendship. In fact the City of Friendship was established by Hana. The rules and regulations were exactly the same as those of the Free City. Even the management staff remained the same. People management team.
The same rules and regulations, under the management of different people, will have two completely different performances. After more than half a year of development, the City of Friendship has surpassed the Free City of the day! More prosperous and more regular.
The City of Friendship did not exist originally. After leaving the Free City, Lu Yi and Hana came here and started to build a new trade from scratch with the help of more than 10,000 earth mages. hub!
The reason why I chose this place is very simple. Firstly, the terrain here is open and flat. Secondly mainly because there is a big river passing through here, and the water transportation is extremely developed, and this big river connects the four main rivers of the mainland. River!
Although the location is slightly out of the way, the City of Friendship has water transportation channels that are not available in free cities! The advantageous side is very prominent, but the disadvantageous side is that merchants from the west have to travel an extra hundred miles, which is nothing. Compared with the water transport channel, this disadvantage is completely negligible!
Starting from scratch, after more than half a year of construction, with the help of tens of thousands of seventh-level earth mages, a brand new city was built from scratch. This city is the City of Friendship!
After inspecting the City of Friendship for more than a month, the eighth prince wrote to the royal family and reported on the situation in the City of Friendship. After reviewing the content of the letter, the royal family of Gary was completely dumbfounded.
A good free city, under the governance of the eldest prince, only lasted for half a year before dying. Although the other party was driven away, it only took half a year to build a free city from scratch. It¡¯s just a different name, and it seems to have more advantages! The potential of cities is even greater!
what to do? Are we going to send people to rob it again? But because of what happened last time, they had already called one, and for that call, the Gary royal family lost half of the country's royal taxes! If I invite you again this time, will it be tax-free nationwide?
Just when the royal family members were hesitant to make a decision, the eighth prince wrote again, advising everyone not to try to use force to solve the problem. Once they did, the other party could sell all the shops in the city. Once the other party did this, the city would be destroyed. Once it is killed, the free mode cannot be started.
After dispelling everyone¡¯s greed, the eighth prince wrote another letter a week later, denounced the eldest prince. Although he was dead, the eighth princeThe prince did not intend to expose this, and scolded him for not understanding the laws of economics and making many wrong decisions in succession. In fact As early as when he took over, he should have understood that everything was over, but the eldest prince did not There was no investigation or research, and they rushed in recklessly. Not only did they lose the city of freedom, but they also caused at least 500 billion losses to the royal family! This money is already the total of the royal tax for a year!
After investigation and research, the eighth prince rushed back to the royal family and made a report to the royal family¡¯s senior staff. Free City cannot be obtained by robbery. If you want a city like Free City, you must build it yourself! The foundation of freedom in a free city is the ownership of all shops! It¡¯s the rent of the shop!
Although he has always regarded himself as a financial genius, the eighth prince was full of praise for the free city model and applied to the royal family to build a new city next to the City of Friendship to compete with the opponent!
As long as he can own all the property rights of the house, the Eighth Prince has absolute confidence that he can defeat his opponent. Faced with the Eighth Prince's request, the senior royal family members discussed it for three days and finally made a decision. No one can refuse such a temptation and unanimously agreed to the Eighth Prince's request. ¡
According to the plan submitted by the Eighth Prince, he will build another city along the river next to the City of Friendship, only twenty miles apart! The eighth prince must rely on his talents and abilities to completely defeat his opponent!
Once you defeat your opponent, you can devour the opponent and become the largest trade hub city in the kingdom, becoming the true city of freedom and money!
Since they are very close to each other, they are not afraid of what tricks the other party will do. If they don¡¯t know how to get tricked, can they still learn it? Whatever the other party does, just do it here too! It can be said that he is in an invincible position! - Didn't finish reading?
