Chapter 278 New Farming Method (Part 2)_2

"Starting today, a reading tax will be imposed. Anyone who reads any text must pay a tax to the fifth-grade noble Derayle—one copper coin per sentence."

With resignation, the captain dropped another copper coin in, but the official smiled, indicating it wasn't enough, and pointed to another notice.

"Starting today, an education tax will be imposed. Any person who is reminded or educated by an official or noble must pay a tax to the fifth-grade noble Derayle—one copper coin per occasion."

After placing ten copper coins in, the captain asked, "If I give you some extra money, may I ask you a question?"

"Please do." The tax official smiled and replied.

"Where is Mr. Derayle?"

"On the second floor of the city center. Do you wish to pledge allegiance to him? If you give me some money, I could introduce you."

"No need, thank you. I was a bit uneasy about kidnapping a noble, but now it seems like I'm doing a good deed."

"What did you say?"

"Take action."
