I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 209 Professional Newspaper Script

Snapped!

Knowing that arguing with Calbin was pointless, Tritan knelt down before Zi Yi!

"My lord! My wife is merely the illegitimate daughter of the previous Baron Stern; she has no right to inherit the throne!"

Li Mosi looked at the saintess.

Haki nodded.

Ziyi and Zian also saw their conversation.

However, he still asked.

"Then your wife has no right to inherit?"

"Gurgle."

Tritan swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

"Yes! But she's very weak! My wife changed her surname to mine long ago; she should be considered a member of my family now."

For some reason, he felt he had no choice but to tell the truth!

This adult doesn't seem as evil as the goblins in the rumors; perhaps he really will show leniency!

Zi Yi thought for a moment and looked at Karlbin.

Is what he said true?

Calbin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He nodded vigorously.

"Sir, he is telling the truth."

But then he spoke again.

"But in this case, his wife can divorce him and change her surname back."

Calbino of donkey grass!

He's holding a grudge against me!

Tritan quickly interrupted.

"Sir! I will never let my wife divorce me! If she does, you can kill my whole family anytime!"

"Alright, everyone, sit back down."

Zi Yi spoke, ending the conversation.

"Yes, sir."

Calbin quickly sat down.

"Thank you, sir."

Tritan trembled as he sat back down, glaring at Calbin.

"Tell me about the situation in the territory."

Zi Yi glanced at the three of them.

"Tritan, you go first."

"Yes! Cough cough."

Tritan choked on his own saliva, quickly composed himself, and became even more respectful.

He survived!

"My lord, Stern... This territory, including the town, has a total of twelve manors, with 2 plus 577 residents available for work, including 1 plus 511 adult residents and 1 plus 66 minor residents."

"The total arable land is 277 bovites. This year's harvest is much higher than in previous years. If converted to wheat... the grain tithe was about 8 quartos, the manor tax was 28 quartos, the mill usage tax was about 5 quartos, the oven usage tax..."

Trittan verbally reported each tax item, demonstrating his professional skills to the fullest!

Brewing tax, livestock tax, pasture usage tax, pig farming tax, wool tax, market usage tax, toll tax, artisan workshop tax, brewing license fee, knife sharpening tax, poll tax, marriage tax, inheritance tax, work tax...

He recited each item one by one!

Zi Yi's head was spinning!

Li Mosi and Zi'an became increasingly alarmed as they listened.

The saintess's eye twitched upon hearing this.

The land here can actually produce so much grain?

It's almost as good as the Divine Grace Manor in the Papacy!

The manors outside the giant island in Northeast China simply cannot do that!

Tritan finished reciting everything in one breath, his face turning purple.

But that's not all!

He took a few breaths and continued reporting!

"Next comes the church's tithe..."

The church collected about one-tenth of the various supplies produced in the territory.

Moreover, this is no longer included in the previous tax category!

The tithe mentioned earlier was the lord's tithe, and the church also collected a separate portion!

For some reason, the vast majority of the payments were in grain.

The only items that were actually accepted were beeswax, alcohol, wool, and livestock.

After reciting the church's tithes, Tritan took a few breaths and continued speaking!

"Due to recent attacks by wild animals on some estates, Lakeside Estate still has eight cows and twenty sheep that haven't been handed over, and East Wall Estate..."

He started listing the taxes he owed again!

Fortunately, this thing is calculated based on the estate, so it wasn't reported as too long.

But there are still old debts behind it!

This thing is specifically for families!

Tritan strained his face until it turned purple twice more before he finished speaking.

Li Mosi and the other three listened with blank expressions.

motherfucker.

This tax official is truly a talent!

"Hahaha--"

Tritan took a while to catch his breath.

"My lord, if you wish to make your subjects obedient, you can have Calbin forcibly collect the outstanding debts. There is also the assistance payment; in principle, when a new lord takes office, the vassals should pay an assistance payment."

"The Stern family knighted two men, each with a manor."

"I have my own plans."

Zi Yi waved to Tritan and looked at Calbin.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, sir."

Calbin responded instinctively, but for a moment he couldn't find anything to say.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"My role is usually to witness for my people and to write down their contracts, as well as to judge their crimes."

"Tritan has already mentioned the contractual income. Baron Stern's previous judgments against his subjects also turned them into slaves. Perhaps you could make some changes, sir."

"Furthermore, the recent major events are not limited to the wild animal attack. A few days ago, on the evening of the day Baron Stern set out for war, more than thirty slaves took farm tools, killed two soldiers, stole their weapons, and fled west."

"We tried to catch up, but they had already fled into the western Baron Talis's territory."

Is that true?

The four were surprised, and Ziwan, who was holding two heads, looked surprised.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Thirty-odd slaves, what trouble could they possibly cause?

This at most indicates that even the slaves within Baron Stern's domain could no longer tolerate Baron Stern's rule.

"Sir, I've finished speaking."

Calbin looked at Eison.

Everyone present looked at Aisong.

Aisong thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Trityan has already spoken about the church's tithes. They match my accounts."

Tritan nodded.

The pastor, "Isson," then spoke.

"My lord, I need some planks to repair the ground, some items to replace, and some supplies to prepare for the upcoming 'Day of Prayer'."

All he said was about his needs.

Tritan interrupted.

"Sir! The church can do this itself!"

"They can take responsibility for this themselves! The Stern family never agreed to his demands when they were in power!"

Zi Yi didn't understand what "Day of Begging for Grace" meant, and just felt overwhelmed.

He waved to the three of them.

"Let me think about it. You all go home first, and you are not allowed to act without my orders."

"Yes."

Reverend Esson was the first to stand up, nodded slightly, turned around, walked past Zwan, and left the main house.

"Yes, sir."

Tritan was the second to stand up, and he looked at Calbin and spoke.

"My lord, please feel free to ask me for anything you need. I will do my best to fulfill your request! Please do not believe the words of those who are jealous."

Calbin met his gaze and stood up as well.

"My lord! He's the one who works for the Stern family, causing many of our people to go hungry! He can even pull silver coins from the dead!"

Zi Yi remained silent, simply waving his hand.

"snort!"

Tritan strode away.

"My lord, I am very familiar with the situation of each manor. You can come to me with anything. I guarantee to execute your will perfectly."

After saying that, Calbin also left the main house.

"grown ups."

Ziwan took a few steps, wanting to get closer to Li Moss to ask him about his affairs.

"evil--"

He saw the saintess's disgusted expression and immediately realized that he was still holding her head, so he quickly stopped.

Zwan's mission is complete.

Li Mosi nodded to him.

"I will give you a dignified return, just as I promised."
