Chapter 37 The Mystery of Population Loss

"So last month, Sargos lost some more people? There is a population loss every month. If this continues, our Sargos will soon become an empty city. What do you think, Minister of Management?" Munster? As he spoke, he looked at Marifu, the Minister of Management.

"This... I will try my best to control it in the future." Malifu said with a guilty conscience.

Minster also felt the strangeness, and continued to ask Ma Lifu: "I have always focused on training soldiers, and I have never understood anything about the city. Please explain it to me, Minister of Administration, so that I know what it is. Condition."

"Uh..." Malifu was suddenly stopped by the question, and raised his head to look at Kailida with distressed eyes, while Kailida tapped on the table without saying a word.

Malifu saw that it was impossible for Kelida to help him in this situation, and he could only rely on himself to get through. His little eyes moved cunningly, thinking about how to answer Munster's words.

Jason watched silently. He knew what was going on here, and was just waiting to see how Malifu would explain it to Munster. If Munster found out that they had changed the tax collection rules without authorization, Kelida would definitely It has to be played out.

Jason felt a burst of joy at the thought of this, and his previous nervousness eased a lot.

"Well, it may be that these days, the number of thieves and bandits outside the city has been significantly reduced by us, and some miserly people are unwilling to live in the city and pay taxes, so they choose to leave." Malifu told Munster Said.

"Damn it, it's all right. Not only did they not tell about their tax increase, but they also put money on their own face. He is a character!" Jason sighed secretly in his heart.

"Is this really the case? It can only be said that Sagos still makes them feel uncomfortable, otherwise they would not be willing to leave." Minster said.

"I will supervise Marifu on this matter, so you don't have to worry about it, Lord Munster." Kelida interrupted Munster and said in a stern tone.

Kailida is quite dissatisfied with Munster's meddling behavior.

"Of course you, the city lord, will take care of this. I'm just exposing some problems for you. After all, Lord Dawn told me to help you well." Minster responded to Kailida.

"Okay, okay, is there anything else?" Kelida said impatiently when Minster used Dawn to press him again.

Jason saw that this matter was about to be fooled by them, so he couldn't sit still immediately, and said to everyone: "I think the serious population loss of Sagos is not as simple as you said, the Minister of Management?"

As soon as Jason's words came out, the other three looked at Jason in unison.

Minster asked Jason with great interest: "So, does the Vice-City Master know anything else?"

"I also found out by accident." When Jason said this, he deliberately glanced at Kailida, wanting to see what kind of expression Kailida had on his face. with a smile.

"Hey, just laugh! You won't be able to laugh after a while." Jason thought proudly.

"Then let's listen to the deputy city lord!" Minster said to Jason.

"Okay, that day I accidentally found a team of tax-collecting soldiers, and I learned from them that since you took the seat of Sagos city lord, Sagos has collected taxes once a month. Brother, do you know about this?" Jason asked Kailida with a smile.

"Brother, where did you hear the slander? This is absolutely nothing." Kailida vetoed it.

Jason smiled proudly and said, "This is really not true. I witnessed it with my own eyes, and the soldier who collected the tax told me."

"It's empty talk, brother, what evidence do you have?" Kailida asked Jason with a smile.

Minster then asked Jason, "You don't have any evidence, deputy city lord? As long as you have evidence to prove that what you said is true, I will investigate this matter to the end."

"How simple this is! Let's go to the street and ask the people if we don't know!" Jason said with an idea.

Minster nodded and said: "Yes! The deputy city lord is right. Let's ask the people in the city directly and listen to their answers to know whether it is true or not!"

Jason felt that he had the hope of using this matter to directly bring down Kailida, and he was also secretly happy in his heart.

After Munster finished speaking, he stood up and said to everyone: "Then everyone, shall we go to the street together?"

"Of course there is no problem with this!" Kailida was the first to stand up and walk out of the hall.

Seeing Kelida being so crisp and clear, Jason felt a little unsure and had an unknown premonition in his heart.

Not long after, in order to hide their identities so that the common people could speak the truth unaffected, they put on the clothes of ordinary people and came to the streets of Sagos.

Minster took the lead and came to a tavern with a relatively large flow of people. Since there were not many people in the tavern in the morning, when he saw Minster and his party walking in, the shop assistant welcomed them enthusiastically.

"What would you like to order, gentlemen?" The store clerk asked with a smile, and led them to find a table and sit down.

"Just bring us a few small dishes." Minster said politely to the shop assistant after sitting down.

"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment!" The shop assistant was about to leave.

Minster immediately stopped the shop assistant: "Brother, wait a minute, I still have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Can you ask the manager?" the store clerk replied.

Minster smiled and asked the little brother: "I want to ask you how the Sagos tax is collected? We are a group of wanderers and want to find a comfortable place to settle down."

When the shop boy heard Munster's question about taxes, he couldn't help but trembled. Then he swallowed and said, "We here are the same as other cities in the south. We collect taxes per capita every quarter."

Sen was a little excited!He stood up and asked the store clerk, "What is it? Are you sure what you said is true? I heard that it is collected once a month."

The store clerk shook his head again and again and said, "Nothing, nothing."

"Haha~ It's all right now?" Kailida said with a proud smile.

"It seems that the Deputy City Lord has listened to someone's slander. I hope that the Deputy City Lord will learn to distinguish between true and false next time!" Malifu said to Jason with a smile on his face.

Faced with such a situation, Jason didn't know what to do for a while, and was extremely embarrassed.

"Damn! What's going on here? Could it be that the family and the soldiers teamed up to lie to me?"
