"Cheh, I'll give you a beauty, and you're being picky, so I'll go tell her."

Ye Fan shook his head. Tian Yu was still too naive.

She started to work for others after just a few words and always thought about good things.

She never thought about whether she would be used again.

Tian Yu skipped back and her eyes lit up. "Go."

" Yes, yes. Then I'll give it a try."

Xia Lianshan mustered up her courage and walked towards Ye Fan.

Originally, she was full of confidence, but the closer she got to Ye Fan, the more nervous she became, and even a bit scared.

She was afraid that he would reject her, and also afraid that she would lose face.

However, for the sake of her future life, she gritted her teeth and walked to Ye Fan's side, and said, "City Lord, I want to work in the Prefecture. I wonder if it's possible?"

Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. Those bright and deep eyes gave her goosebumps.

Enchantress was too weak.

She didn't even have the strength to transform.

The reason why she was able to maintain her human form was definitely because of their fox clan's special technique.

Feeling Ye Fan's gaze, Xia Lianshan felt as if she had been seen by him. She felt a chill run down her spine.

However, for the sake of her dream, she mustered up her courage and said.

"City Lord, is that alright?"

Ye Fan remained silent for a long time, which made Xia Lian Shan's hair stand on end.

When Tian Yu saw this scene, she suddenly had a taste in her heart.

What was going on?

Ye Fan wasn't someone who couldn't walk when he saw a beauty. Why was he attracted to Xia Lianshan this time?

Looking at Ye Fan's eyes, it was obvious that he was slightly moved.

Could it be that they met?

Could it be that he liked this type of girl?

Wear coarse linen clothes, soft and weak?

Men really don't have good things.

As she thought about it, Tian Yu wished that she could kill this couple with a single punch.

However, her rationality made her endure it. After all, Ye Fan hadn't even said a word.

"Sir, do you want me or not?" Xia Lianshan secretly decided that this would be the last time.

Go! It was not a deal to rush, but to be left hanging. Did she not want to lose face?

Ye Fan slowly glanced at her. "I can give you a chance. When the time comes, you can learn to work from the servants. If possible, you can stay behind to do odd jobs."

Xia Lianshan was overjoyed. "Thank you, City Lord. Thank you!"

"En, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion. Let's settle down today and carry out the test tomorrow."

"Okay."

...

After walking for a long time, the three of them finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The Undeserved Mourning Drum at the entrance was already filled with a lot of dust.

Ye Fan smiled knowingly.

This was not because the servants neglected to clean the place, nor was there no one who handled the case and neglected their duties.

It was because Chi Feng City was currently at peace, and there were no cases of injustice that could be reported to the officials.

It was not easy to have a small conflict, and with some difficulty, a few demon soldiers were able to mediate and solve the problem.

This was proof of Ye Fan's greatest achievement.

"City Lord?"

The guards at the entrance were extremely excited when they saw Ye Fan's appearance.

"City Lord is back!"

The thunderous shout made the entire Prefecture restless.

Dozens of servants, servant, lined up to welcome him. Their faces were filled with smiles.

They were all from poor backgrounds. In the past, they didn't even have enough food to eat.

It was Ye Fan who took them in and changed his tone.

Now that they were full and dressed warmly, they could save up spirit stones to cultivate, and their lives had become more prosperous.

The key was that Ye Fan had a good temper, and he cared for his subordinates. He often gave them benefits.

Everyone said that being a small boss outside was better than being a servant in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Welcome back, City Lord!"

Dozens of people shouted in unison, displaying the highest level of respect.

Ye Fan nodded slightly. "Thank you for your welcome, everyone. Alright, let's get to work!"

"By the way, where is Yan Liang and his wife?"

Chi Feng City became peaceful.

However, the economy had to develop along with it. Otherwise, how could it become the benchmark of Demon Realm?

Ye Fan could not stay in Chi Feng City for long, but he could convey his thoughts and let everyone carry it out.

"Lady Yan seems to be in a big leap. Yan Liang is in the east hall."

"Alright!"

Ye Fan once again came to the East Hall. This was the place they used for meetings.

At this time, he, Lan Shan, and Bing You had formed a circle and were ready. His face was full of worry.

“ Sigh!"

Yan Liang sighed, "My wife said that if we want the people to become rich, we must bring about economic development, but she didn't say how to bring about economic development."

Lan Shan shrugged. "Don't look at me. I'm a rough person, and I don't know how to do it!"

"Oh, right. Didn't the City Lord mention about tax? Shall we study tax?" The soldier said in a simple-minded manner.

Yan Liang shook his head and said, "With our brains, we are not qualified to study tax. Other than these two words, what other opinions can you give about tax?"

"Uh..."

The two of them thought for a long time and were unable to hold back a single word.

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's wait for my wife to come back!"

"Trash!"

At this moment, Ye Fan walked into the hall and cursed.

He was really disappointed in ___.

These three little fools could not even figure out how to collect taxes. What else could they do?

They couldn't even collect the money.

"Sir, you're back!"

The three of them didn't look angry at all. Instead, they were extremely excited.

Seeing the three of them in such a state.

Ye Fan felt rather helpless.

The three of them were absolutely loyal, and could even use their lives to protect him.

However, it was useless.

Currently, the number of Demon Soldiers in the city had increased.

Lan Shan simply couldn't manage it. The military camp was in a mess.

If it wasn't for Lady Yan taking action, perhaps there would have been some kind of mischief in the military camp.

Of course, they weren't completely useless. Being major generals was more than enough, or they could stay by their side as bodyguards.

"He's back! I heard that you were studying tax collection just now." Ye Fan brought Tian Yu to the main seat and asked.

"That's right!"

Yan Liang nodded. "Sir, didn't you ask us to collect taxes previously? We did, but many merchants and individuals did not cooperate. There were also many disputes previously."

"If we did not suppress them in time and cancel their taxes, Chi Feng City would probably fall into chaos again."

"Why would such a thing happen?" Ye Fan asked with a frown.

The so-called 'tax' was the general term used by the government to maintain its operations and provide public services to society. It forced and charged individuals and legal people physical objects or money for free.

In the past, there was such a rule in Demon Realm. Why would there suddenly be a dispute?

The soldier took out a stack of paper, which wrote the amount of tax paid and the time of payment. He hurriedly showed it to Ye Fan.

He didn't even have a chance to read it carefully. He could tell the problem with just a glance.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "Our Chi Feng City has a total of 980 merchants. Each of your merchants charges ten spirit stones per month?"

" Yes, yes. Some big merchants are very cooperative, but those small merchants are not willing to pay." Soldier Friend explained.

"Pa!"

After looking at the tax receipt, Ye Fan was furious.

"Are you f * cking idiots? Don't you want to think about how much money a small merchant who sells vegetables and sells feces can earn in a month?"

" As far as I know, ten spirit stones is the monthly income of many people. You want to tax them and not let them live? "

The three of them were somewhat dumbfounded by the scolding.

No one dared to say another word.

"Who set this rule? I'm going to punish him. Punish him heavily."

This was the first time Tian Yu had seen Ye Fan so angry.

However, she had a higher opinion of Ye Fan in her heart.

After all, tax involved the livelihood of the people. The three of them collecting taxes like this was undoubtedly killing someone slowly. This was an extremely serious problem.

The three of them looked at each other, but still did not dare to speak.

"Yan Liang, say it, don't dawdle."

Yan Liang hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Sir, this was personally decided by you."

"Bullshit! When did I ask each of you to charge ten spirit stones per month?"

"Look."

As he spoke, he took out a tax collection plan that Ye Fan had previously decided on.

On it was written: Initial tax collection plan: Temporarily set every businessman to pay 10% of their monthly income every month.

"Isn't this written? 10 spirit stones."

Ye Fan was so angry that he rolled his eyes. It was scary to be uncultured.

He had written it so clearly, but they had misunderstood him.

But he knew in his heart.

This matter couldn't be blamed on them.

The Demon Realm didn't have a 100% number symbol. They didn't recognize it, and it was completely understandable that they mistook it for 10 spirit stones.1

Ye Fan was a little irritated. "This is ten percent, do you know? If you earn 100 spirit stones per month, you charge 10 spirit stones. If you earn 10 spirit stones per month, you can charge 1 spirit stone per month. So on and so forth, can you calculate it now?"

The soldier was checking his fingers on the side.

Only Yan Liang reacted.

"So it's based on the ratio. No wonder those big business owners are so happy to take ten yuan when they see us. Because we take too little."

"On the contrary, those small merchants were so embarrassed when they heard the tax of ten spirit stones."

Ye Fan rubbed his eyes. "I will write a new tax policy later, and you guys will post it! Forget about the previous ones, the previous ones were much more. You guys can go back to your houses. Next month, we will follow the new tax policy. "

" Yes, City Lord! "

"That's right, City Lord. Previously, my wife said that she wanted to develop the economy. I wonder if she can give me some guidance? "

This was the only person who could make Ye Fan feel gratified - Lady Yan.

Ye Fan had thought of this long ago. He said lightly, "It is not difficult to develop the economy, but it is also not easy. First, we must carry out trade."

" Oh? What is trade?"

At this time, Lady Yan slowly walked in from the door.

"City Lord, how have you been?" She bowed slightly to show her respect.

"Fortunately, you came back. I was afraid to tell them that I was playing the lute to a cow!"

Lady Yan naturally knew their standards. She changed the topic and said, "I will definitely listen and carry out the City Lord's plan."

Ye Fan nodded and explained.

"Didn't you ask what trade is? In fact, trade is the general term for trading or trading activities. Usually, it refers to all trading activities and actions with money as the medium."

"Take Chi Feng City for example. There are no cities around it, only Xuanyuan City is relatively close."

"Then we can choose to trade with the human race and use what they need to exchange for what we need."
