Chapter 202 Wizards who don't pay taxes and civilians who can't get money (for subscriptio

Hearing these numbers, Lynn felt his head was getting bigger. He personally participated in the whole incident and guessed that there would be many deaths, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

"In addition, during the follow-up investigation, the security team also discovered a strange thing. On the day of the catastrophe, nine wizards in Haigang Town were inexplicably traumatized, and five of them had confirmed their deaths. The four of them suffered severe brain damage, which is no different from death." Orlando continued to report.

"After searching the mansions of these wizards, the security team found some books about psionic magic, and this thing..."

Orlando took out a small box and put it in front of Lynn, which contained nine rings.

"Each of them carries this thing with them. Judging from the runes on it, it may be a kind of magic to communicate with each other, but the spell on it has long since expired, and it is impossible to continue to track it."

"Leave this matter to me. I will ask Master Raphael to study it in depth when I have time." Lynn nodded calmly, put away these [Rings of the Faceless Man], and prepared to go to It's time to rework directly to make [The Ring of the Secret Law].

Orlando nodded without thinking too much, and talked about another matter again.

The news of Herram's death was exposed. More than 30 wizards chose to leave the port of Iyeta, and some of them directly changed their schools to join other schools, and took away some apprentices at the same time.

"Do I need to send someone to invite them back? I think these people should be very happy." Orlando said with a smile.

He felt that after learning the news that Lin En had won the Corona Medal, most of these wizards regretted it.

They never imagined that, instead of declining, the Iyeta School had a tendency to skyrocket.

"No, since it's their own choice, let them go." Lynn shook his head, not regretting that these people have no sense of belonging to Iyeta, and it may not be a good thing to stay.

We must know that sometimes the inside ghost is more difficult to deal with than the outside enemy. He is very short of people right now, but not everyone...

On the contrary, Lynn felt that although the entire harbor city had experienced a lot of hardships, it was not without its benefits. At least most of the unstable factors in the school were eliminated.

"Where are the affected poor and their families? Has everything been arranged? Has the pension been paid?" Lin En asked with concern.

Although the whole story of this matter has little to do with him, it was caused by Herram. The council concealed this information for the stability of the wizarding land. At least they have to settle these innocent victims.

The total population of the entire Iyeta harbor is not large, and the poor living in the southern city are dispensable waste in the eyes of wizards, but they are a very good working population in Lynn's eyes.

"This...I'm afraid Iyeta won't be able to come up with that much money now." Orlando said helplessly with a look of hesitation on his face.

Lynn was stunned. As the largest seaport city in the Land of Wizards, it also monopolizes a part of foreign trade, so it should be very rich.

It wouldn't be the time when Herram was secretly researching psionic magic, and secretly spent all the reserve funds in Iyeta Harbor, right?

Lynn quickly found part of the financial report from a pile of materials, and after reading it for a few minutes, he found that the economic situation of the entire Iyeta can only be described as weird.

First of all, wizards and civilians are completely two economic systems, except that the latter needs to supply the former with food, basically there is not much connection.

After all, it is not uncommon for precious magic materials to be sold for more than a dozen magic gold coins, and a laborer who does not know magic may not be able to save that much money after working for decades.

Wizards basically do not engage in ordinary production activities. They make alchemy equipment and potions that only wizards can afford.

Therefore, thousands of wizards and a large number of apprentices in the entire wizarding land formed a unique cycle, building an economic superstructure, completely out of touch with the common people.

The most important thing is that, as a privileged class, they still don't pay taxes!

In the past, the finances of seaport cities basically did not rely on taxation. Searching the common people could not get much money, and it was basically just a symbolic collection.

The real big thing is to rely on foreign trade. With the help of the geographical advantage of Iyeta Harbor being close to the outside world, various ores and scarce items from the Land of Wizards are continuously transported by merchant ships, and then they only need to turn around and sell them to the city of Greenriel. You can earn a lot.

Yes, just to make a lot of money... Although this is a nearly monopoly business, foreign trade also means taking the risk of exposing the entire wizarding land.

In exchange for the acquiescence of the parliament, the price of the scarce materials transferred is set in advance. It is impossible to make huge profits. There is about 30,000 magic gold coins per year, which is enough to supply the entire seaport. the functioning of the city.

Thanks to him, one of the three lines has been cut off, and the biggest source of finance is likely to shrink.

Lynn immediately felt that the tens of thousands of magic gold coins he earned by selling glass, paper and even airships did not seem like a lot.

I can still make money every day now, but it may not be so in a few months.

The entire Wizarding Land has a combined population of only a few hundred thousand. The market is too small and will soon be saturated, so it is necessary to consider continuing to expand foreign trade.

Many of his big actions in the future will basically require money. In addition, appeasing the families of the poor in Nancheng District will also cost a lot of money.

Lynn thought for a long time, and already had a rough idea in his mind, so he looked at Orlando. "I probably already know the situation in Iyeta Harbor. I will take out 10,000 magic gold coins to add to the treasury. Let's settle the innocent victims in the southern city first, and we can't delay any longer."

"As for the remaining funds, they will all be used to purchase these materials." Lynn handed over a thin sheet of paper that had already been written.

Orlando took it. No matter how many times, when he saw this white paper, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Who would have thought that this thing was actually made of wood.

"Well, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, brass..." Orlando glanced at it. The page was filled with various raw materials, including very common things like saltpeter and charcoal, and some ores that he had never heard of before. Lin En also specially marked many characteristics of these ores, asking him to find out if there are people who know these things.
