"So, you just thought of this way to make money?" Ding Wen didn't know whether he should praise him.

"You have to find a way to do it without money! I remembered the past when gold digging was made. Most of the people who were trying to make money, but those who sold things there made a fortune." After saying that, the lord of Sansha City said, and said, "You will keep your mouth tightly after taking the hush money! If you accept the money and promise to keep it confidential, then you will be untrustworthy. Don't blame me for turning against you!"

"I'm thinking, it's a scam if you bury a gold mine, right?" Ding Wen didn't mean to make things difficult for him, but was just curious that since he cared about believing in this word, how could he convince him to do this game?

"I originally thought it was a lie, but when I thought about it, I understood! Those who said they would come to dig gold mines were gambling. They usually gambled money, but they didn't gamble? At least my gold mine is real. Those who dig really make money. The price is clearly marked? If you want to come, it is not a lie! I used the money of these lucky people to gamble for the taxes of poor people in the city and the taxes of poor villages. I think it's good!"

"I actually think it's pretty good after hearing what you said." Ding Wen said, continuing to fill the soil, and then asked again: "Your city expenses are fine, right? Anyway, I'm idle, so why not talk about it. Maybe I can still calculate it for you."

The lord of Sansha City seems to have no awareness of hiding the cost of the lord's mansion, so he said it casually. Moreover, he has a good memory and remembers all the things he costs.

"The rewards of the immortals in your city are so high? That's more than twice as high as those elsewhere!" Ding Wen was surprised when he heard this.

"How hard it is for everyone! At first, I saw that the guards in the mansion were not easy, so I gave them money. Later, I saw that the earthly immortals patrolling the city were not easy. There is no reason to favor one and the other, so they all increased." The lord of Sansha City said casually, and then said that the expenses of the servants in the mansion were all very large.

Ding Wen asked the truth, and found that the servants' wages were all given higher than those elsewhere.

The city lord's mansion also has a lot of expenses for food, clothing and use, which is not normal.

"How many people in your mansion? There are many concubines? This expense is too big."

"I didn't dare to marry, but someone always came to the door to death. My whole family came to hang me and beg me to marry me. Later, my parents and my wife couldn't stand it anymore, so I advised me to agree. Now I have 26 people, and they spend money. They all spend money well. I couldn't bear to beat and scold them. They cried after saying that. I thought about money and external things. The expenses in the mansion were enough to eat noodles, so I asked them to restrain themselves. Later, my wife took control and restricted the amount for them."

"Twenty-six... the expenses for food and consumption are still too high." Ding Wen felt that the numbers were still wrong.

"The servants in the mansion are all dressed the same as what we eat. It's so hard to see how many things they do every day! We can't we have beef noodles with big fish and meat every day, so we can't let them eat them? We can't wear silk clothes and let them wear coarse cloth? We can't go out and take a carriage and let them walk? We can't let incense in our room, so they don't have it in the room, right?"

Ding Wen understood. After calculating this, the expenses of everyone in the city lord's mansion were almost as high as those of the neglected concubines in the city lord's mansion. How could it not be high?

Ding Wen remembers that there is a feeling in the memory of the immortal war, that is, a good person does not mean a good leader.

The war immortal naturally has experience and evidence, but the insight only comes from the captain of the Earth Immortal.

At this moment, Ding Wen had a deeper understanding of the city lord of Sansha City.

The city lord of Sansha City is a good person, good enough, so Ding Wen thinks that the name of Dugu Shan, the city lord of Muban City, has to be given to the city lord of Sansha City in front of him.

However——The Sansha City Lord in front of me is definitely not a good city lord.

Because he was soft-hearted and endlessly carried his burden on his body, he had to rely on fraud to make money to maintain the operation of the city lord's mansion. It was definitely not the style of a good city lord.

Ding Wen's existing memories and cognition of the war immortals did not support the city lord of Sansha City.

Even so, Ding Wen still doesn't want to deny him so much.

‘Maybe, the lord of Sansha City has created a miracle that is not elsewhere here?’ Ding Wenru had hope, so he asked again: “You are so good to the people in the lord’s mansion and so good to the people in the city. I believe everyone is very supportive and actively producing, right?”

"Oh..." The city lord of Sansha City looked like he had suffered a long-term torture and suffering, with a helpless and painful expression. "It's really hard to be a city lord! Every day, people come to the city lord's mansion and say that they also need tax exemption. I said that their situation was pretty good, so they cried and told that the situation was actually good in many places elsewhere, but they just pretended to be poor and cried miserable, and they said that they would not have the motivation to actively produce without tax exemption."

"What about the fact?" Ding Wen expected that such a situation would be true, but he was not sure how many of them were.

"They want to be tax-free, but it's wrong to wrongly accuse good people for this. It's too wrong to spread rumors and slander! I scold them in person every time, and they didn't provide evidence, saying that the tax-free places are rich, so if they work hard, they will of course become richer. How can they say that they just pretend to be poor from the beginning?"

"..." Ding Wen was speechless because the information revealed by the lord of Sansha City was clearly that he had never investigated it at all, and he just kept believing that he did not pretend to be poor.

In this way, it is certainly difficult for those insiders to find any evidence.

They can't go back to find evidence before tax exemption, and those who enjoy the benefits will never admit it.

The lord of Sansha City seemed to have found someone to talk to, and talked about many troubles about the city affairs. "Tax matters are annoying every day, and the earthly immortals are also dissatisfied with it. Today, this person says that someone is dereliction of duty, and the money you should not be higher than him; tomorrow, the one who says someone is negligent in his duties should not be so much money. But the base is the same, and those who are entrusted with high rewards have all received contributions and rewards. I can't let others deduct it without trust, right? And what they said has no evidence, and each person says one thing, and I can't punish the earthly immortals who work hard for catching wind and shadow, right?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense..." Ding Wen now found that nothing else from the person in front of him was meaningless.

"The mansion is also troubled! There are quarrels every day. The maid who serves me and my wife always gets angry and complains that the maid who doesn't take care of my parents has high wages. Sometimes they even quarrel with us anxiously, saying that she does well and we are unfair. But the problem is that my parents have already said that the deep feelings of taking care of them are the highest standard for servants in the mansion. I agree, I can't speak without trust, right..."
