Author: Conquer people with virtue

Even though Theos hadn't been here for several months, the office, which was still clean and tidy, was silent at the moment.

Erso and Thoradin, who came together, were speechless at this time, with slight sweat on their foreheads. Robbie even lowered his head to the ground.

The magical image released by the lord surprised them. They did not expect that such a scandal would occur in Osfir's territory.

In the video recorded by Theos, the protagonist is one of the main races in Osfer, goblins, and many of them are even goblins.

It's no wonder, after all, the military stronghold next to Twin Town, Twin Fort itself, is dominated by goblin troops.

Such a scandal occurred in the goblin clan. As Theos's secretary and the goblin clan's highest representative in the management, Robbie was obviously to blame.

"It is Robbie's fault that such crimes have occurred among my people. Please give me a chance to punish them before you punish me!" Robbie said tremblingly.

At a small scale, this is corruption; at a larger scale, it is collusion with foreign enemies and an act of betrayal to Lord Theos!

Betrayal of the lord was the most serious crime in Osfir. Robbie felt bitter in his heart, but he was ready to use his life to atone for his sins.

The office was extremely quiet at the moment. Robbie did not dare to raise his head to look into the lord's eyes, quietly waiting for Theos's trial.

"That's all." Theos sighed.

"Get up."

Robbie thought he heard it wrong and couldn't believe it, still kneeling on the ground in a daze.

Theos frowned and said, "What? You still want me to help you up personally?"

"Robbie wouldn't dare!"

The "big housekeeper" who was originally depressed but then regained his ashes quickly got up. "Thank you, Master!"

"I have never doubted my loyalty to you, and you have a lot of work, so it's normal that you can't take care of it. This problem cannot be blamed on you."

Hearing this, Robbie was greatly moved and wanted to kneel down and hug the lord's toes again. However, he knew that his lord hated this, so he did not take action.

Seeing Robbie crying with gratitude, Theos shook his head secretly.

Robbie is a blood descendant of Kavi, so how could he betray him? The key to this matter still lies in management issues.

When it comes to management, Theos is also a hands-off boss, basically leaving everything to the people below him. Among them, the person he orders most frequently is Robbie.

If he really wanted to punish Robbie, he would probably cause more trouble to Theos. Therefore, not only could he not punish him, but he also had to appease his top horseman.

The three Osfil senior executives admired their boss's tolerance and kindness.

"Hmph." Theos breathed out from his nostrils, causing the three people who had just breathed a sigh of relief to feel their hearts shrink again.

"Although the problem does not lie with you, you are also responsible for what happened below. In the final analysis, you still did not do your job well." Theos reprimanded.

"This is what the master taught me."

"Besides, I'm not talking about you. The tax system in Twin Towns is really full of loopholes. It's not in Osfield's interests, and it's easy for that group of humans to take advantage of it."

This is actually Theos's truth.

After inspecting Twin Towns, I found that this one-size-fits-all approach of collecting taxes through toll fees is really low-level.

After hearing what Theos said, the three of them lowered their heads and thought about how to improve the management system, and remained silent for a long time.

They are really not very good at this kind of thing, mainly because they lack experience. For this current method, they still refer to the experience of Thoradin and others in Firecastle.

Seeing how hopeless they were, Theos coughed dryly and attracted his attention. "Okay."

"Robbie, please cancel the cargo inspection and taxes when entering and exiting Twin Towns from now on."

The three people were surprised when Theos opened his mouth. Although the current trade is not as good as those of the more prosperous human kingdoms, the tax revenue in the Twin Towns is really not low. Moreover, this is also the main way for Osfir to obtain human currency.

Way.

"When it comes to charging, try to leave the trouble to others." Theos changed his subject.

Several people looked confused. How could they leave things like tax collection to others? Could it be...

"Can we let those human merchants take the initiative to pay taxes?" Thoradin said casually, even though he didn't believe it.

"That's right." Theos nodded, looking like a coward.

"This, how is this possible?" Erso looked in disbelief.

"What's impossible?"

"From now on, any merchant who comes to Twin Town and wants to buy or sell must take the initiative to come to the management staff to verify the goods and pay taxes!"

Several people looked at each other in confusion. If others had said this, they would have regarded each other as a fool, but since it was Theos... Robbie felt that it must not be that simple.

As expected, Theos continued: "We will provide corresponding tax certificates to businessmen who take the initiative to pay taxes."

After hearing this, Thoradin was still confused, Robbie was thoughtful, but a flash of light flashed across Erso's mind.

"In Twin Towns, paying taxes is entirely voluntary, but only goods for which taxes have been paid will be recognized and protected by Osfill during transactions. In addition, all losses are borne by yourself."

"What if they don't take the initiative to pay?" Thoradin really has no talent in this area.

"No, they will pay." Erso chuckled.

"If they don't pay, we will force them to pay. For example... we can arrange for some people to snatch away all their illegal gains!"

"Their goods have not been registered, so they have nothing to do with us. Even if they are robbed, they will have to consider themselves unlucky."

Thoradin's eyes lit up after hearing Erso's analysis.

"This method is good. The master is indeed the wisest true dragon. Now, those humans can only obey!"

Theos nodded with satisfaction, but corrected him: "What do you mean by forcing them? This is the wrong word."

"We do not force them to pay taxes, everything is done voluntarily!"

Several people nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, it was all voluntary...

"That's it. You should first check and modify the current value and tax amount of different goods based on the previous transaction situation and refer to the general benchmarks on the mainland. Then you can announce the new tax plan."

"By the way, don't forget to remind them that bandits have been escaping in the Xilan Mountains recently, so they should be careful."

"However, I, Osfil, am still responsible. All merchants' goods stolen by robbers can be reported, and then we can help them recover them."

"The master is wise!"

Several people fell in admiration and agreed with the new plan proposed by their lord.

The more I think about it, the more wonderful it becomes.

In this way, after a period of high-intensity robbery, these humans may have to take the initiative to pay.

"This is a rough idea, and you can continue to improve it. For example, for businessmen who have not paid taxes, there is no need to be so conscientious when doing business with them. Anyone who is found to have tax evasion will be blacklisted and prohibited from doing business.

Business." Theos said coldly.

These humans are mainly the specialties of the Tuxilan Mountains. This is a seller's market. You can buy it or not. To be honest, Theos doesn't care about their coming.

Several people discussed some details together again, and a while passed like this. Valk and Nosher finally arrived belatedly.

"Master." "Lord."

Theos nodded and asked Robbie to inform the two of them about the content of the meeting just now. After hearing this, the two of them also had their eyes lit up.

"Master, if the human merchants' goods are lost, I will make arrangements and ask them to help retrieve them." Valk leaned over and said.

The implication is that people below Valcke are also responsible for the "spot checks" of human cargo.

Of course the robbers and those who recovered them were the same gang.

"Any system is good when it is designated, but when it goes down, it will lose its shape after a while. The key point is to strengthen supervision. You must do this well, Nosher."

"Yes." Nohir nodded in agreement.

In terms of Osfir intelligence, tieflings are mainly responsible for it. Strictly speaking, they have greater responsibilities regarding the Twin Towns.

"Just checking their goods randomly is not enough to make greedy humans give up their luck. The key is to monitor."

"In addition, intelligence work should not always be limited to tieflings. People of all races can be recruited, so that it can be done well."

It was difficult for Nohill to refute Theos's words, so he had to say yes again.

In intelligence work and surveillance work, sometimes one cannot make oneself too conspicuous. As for the tiefling race, others will know it at a glance, so they will naturally be on guard.

This leads to two major management issues at Osfill.

One is like Twin Towns. Due to the rapid expansion of Osfil, the education at the bottom cannot keep up, and their nature is hard to change, so they make mistakes. The top management is controlled by Theos, so there is no need to worry, but the bottom level can only rely on many

Managers take care of it.

In fact, Theos had anticipated this problem a long time ago, and All Souls College was established for this purpose. However, the college had just opened, and none of the students had graduated, so this matter could only be done slowly.

After waiting for a large number of students who have received targeted education to come out of the school, they can scatter into a sky full of stars. Each one is a spark, which will eventually affect the entire territory.

Another problem is that all current affairs in Osfill are based on race. In other words, racial management is the mainstream.

In all aspects, including the military, agriculture, industry, etc., people of the same race gather together.

This is not to say that this is bad, after all, the races are very different and each has its own strengths. Moreover, it is very convenient to manage the clan as a unit, and the cohesion is also strong.

However, if the middle level becomes corrupted and Theos leaves it alone for too long, such as sleeping for decades, it will be easy for Theos to lose control of the bottom layer.
