Chen Mo felt it for a while and felt that his eyes were full of money, but how to collect it was a technical job, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to just grab it.

If it arouses public anger and causes resentment to boil over, it will be troublesome to attract evil spirits or something like that.

To do this kind of thing, you still have to pay attention to a clever name.

Chen Mo thought about it and decided that it would be more convenient to increase taxes. Although everyone would complain a lot, he would only collect it for one day and it would not be a long-term tax. These people would probably not say anything more if they were reluctant.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately sensed someone who could handle the matter.

Soon he saw a tall, fierce-looking guy.

This man's job title is CEO, and he is obviously a capable subordinate who often executes Kahn's orders.

Chen Mo immediately ordered someone to bring him over.

"Sir, may I ask what you have to say?"

CEO Taskum knelt on one knee and asked respectfully.

"Nowadays, the city is bustling with commerce, people and traffic, which has greatly increased the wear and tear on the ground in our city.

Since most of the wear and tear of this road surface is caused by the flow of people in the commercial area, naturally the maintenance costs after the wear and tear of this area will also fall on their heads.

We have not collected taxes in this area before, and now it is time to collect more. You take people to the business district and collect a maintenance fee from each household.

"Sir, I don't know how to price this fee?"

Chen Mo estimated the number of merchants and said: "Those who set up street stalls will charge less, and those who have fixed shops will charge a little more. The total tax amount should be controlled at 1,000 eternal gold coins."

"so much!?"

After hearing what Chen Mo said, everyone in Tuscom was dumbfounded.

This is equivalent to a billion dollars in the world!

"It's not much if it's distributed to each person. Tell them that the fee will be collected once every hundred years, and they will have no worries for a hundred years if they pay it once. Just record their names when collecting taxes."

"If we charge it based on a hundred years, it seems a bit too little."

Tuscom, who thought it was expensive just now, immediately changed his mind.

Chen Mo immediately smiled and said: "The wear and tear maintenance cycle of the road is also relatively long. It is already enough. You can take someone to do it immediately."

"Yes, I will order someone to count the number of merchants, and then list the detailed tax distribution to collect this maintenance fee."

"Very good, I can rest assured that you can do the work. Just go ahead."

"My subordinates resign."

Watching Tuscom leave, Chen Mo was still feeling happy.

With just a few words, I can get another 100 billion, which is so cool.

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly understood why those corrupt officials could not resist the temptation.

Anyone who looks at this method of making money will be confused.

After explaining the matter, Chen Mo began to enjoy the life of a city lord.

However, Kahn seems to have no interest in women, and he doesn't even have a wife in his family.

The female attendants also avoided him like tigers and wolves when they saw him, and no one dared to seduce him and get close to him.

Kahn doesn't have anyone close to him, which is actually a good thing for Chen Mo.

This way it is harder to be seen through.

As the sky gradually changes, Elena from Green Bamboo Village has led the team towards the Misty Forest.

Chen Mo had already explored the Misty Forest before and knew that although there were many monsters inside, compared to the large-scale army, they were no match for the enemy, so he didn't pay attention to the situation on their side.

After nightfall, Chen Mo always observed the movements of his teammates on the map.

On the other two routes, the two teams are almost reaching their target locations.

I think the battle will start tomorrow.

At midnight, Elena had led the team out of the forest and onto the plains.

She immediately contacted Chen Mo.

[Elena]: Chen, I have led the team here, have you already explored Stormwind City?"

[Chen Mo]: You can just bring the team over here, and I will send someone to pick you up.

【Elena】:Where did you go?

【Chen Mo】: Enter the city.

[Elena]: Have you captured Stormwind City?

Elena unexpectedly glanced at Stormwind City. The walls of Stormwind City were intact, and it didn't look like there had been a battle not long ago.

She was a little confused.

[Chen Mo]: That’s about right. You can just take people directly to the city gate.

【Elena】:Okay.

Although she said it was fine, Elena was a little uneasy in her heart.

This Stormwind City is not the previous Rick Fortress. It is heavily guarded here, and the defensive buildings are lined up row upon row on the towers. The terrain is excellent, making it absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is simply impossible to capture such a place without causing some damage.

So at this time, Elena didn't know what Chen Mo meant.

Seeing soldiers patrolling the city wall, Elena was naturally a little uneasy.

If this careless approach triggers an attack from the guards of Stormwind City, the tens of thousands of people here may not be able to hold on for long.

But out of trust in Chen Mo, she still led the team to approach Stormwind City.

Because the terrain of Stormwind City is high enough, there are enough watchtowers.

Any slightest movement around Stormwind City will be discovered.

Elena came here with tens of thousands of people carefree, and it was difficult not to be discovered.

Soon the guards of Stormwind City had discovered them.

Immediately, the alarm sounded that there was an abnormal situation, and all the guards on the tower had their bows and arrows drawn, ready for battle.

Elena naturally quickly noticed the reactions of those on the tower of Stormwind City.

Now she felt even more uneasy.

The reaction of the Stormwind soldiers did not look like they were welcoming their arrival.

I always feel like if I get closer, these guards will shoot arrows.

But soon, Elena discovered that there were unusual changes in Stormwind City.

The city guards, who seemed to be tense at first, suddenly put away their crossbows and looked at them calmly.

The city gate, which was originally closed due to curfew at night, now opened with a bang.

At the city gate, a burly figure appeared.

It was Tuscom who helped Chen Mo collect a thousand eternal gold coins in taxes today.

Chen Mo originally planned to come in person, but after considering Kahn's character, he only sent someone to pick him up.

When approaching Stormwind City, the rebels in the team were all very nervous at this time. They asked Elena anxiously: "Lady Elena, are we really going to walk over so carelessly? Once we enter the opponent's range,

Within the range, even if we want to escape by then, we will have no chance."

"Don't worry, Chen Mo has taken care of everything. Let's just go there with peace of mind."

"What kind of magical power did Master Chen Mo use? Can he take care of everything in Stormwind City?"

"I heard that the city lord of Stormwind City is an iron-blooded and violent man with the title of Demon Marshal!"

"I've also heard that he once single-handedly slaughtered an enemy's army of 100,000 men. No one knows the specific means he used, but his reputation as a demon marshal resounded throughout the empire."

"Sir Chen Mo actually has a way to deal with such a person?"

Everyone was curious.

But seeing that the guards on the city wall no longer showed hostility towards themselves and others, they couldn't help but believe in Chen Mo's abilities.

Soon everyone had arrived at the city gate.

"You must be Lady Elena."

Seeing Elena walking at the front of the team, Taskum immediately stepped forward respectfully and asked.

Although Elena was a little confused about the current situation, she still nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work. My brothers, please go into the city to have a meal and rest. As for you, Elena, the Lord of the City has specially invited you to go."

"Lord City Lord?" Elena glanced at Tuscom in front of her suspiciously.
