Chapter 1712 The hobby is mining

Although this kind of thing sounds like a joke, in fact this kind of thing does happen.

Where there is light, there will be darkness.

The White Iron Kingdom has very strict requirements on the tax system, especially the collection of ship tax to the extreme.

There are countless islands in the sea territory of the White Iron Kingdom, and naturally the tax control on ships is also extremely strict.

Regardless of whether it is a pirate ship, a merchant ship or other ships, as long as they park in the port for supplies and trading, they must pay the ship tax.

However, the commercial tax to be paid is very low, but the mooring tax to be paid for moored pirate ships is not only necessary, but also measured according to the size of the ship.

The White Iron Kingdom doesn't care whether you are a pirate or something else. The White Iron Kingdom gave these pirate ships certain docking conditions, and on the other hand, it also tried its best to collect taxes from these ships.

Taxation is the most important thing for a country without exception. The country established by the White Iron Kingdom is not just a free or radical pirate alliance group, but a country that can be implemented in terms of system and law.

The tax system is an important system to ensure the normal operation of the country, and the taxation of ships naturally plays a very important part in it.

The foundation of the founding of the White Iron Kingdom lies in the sea area, followed by the control of food.

Tax collection, especially when it comes to ship tax and food tax, is the most important thing, and the second is the collection of commercial tax.

No country will let go of this aspect of control, and the White Iron Kingdom is no exception.

Now they are robbing others secretly and shadyly, and they have become blatantly robbing through taxes on the bright side.

In comparison, this method is more appropriate, although it looks a bit domineering, at least in Jack Sparrow's view, they are all pirates, and I will pay you taxes no matter what.

But not far from the lookout of the bunker, there were already eyes looking over here, and Jack Sparrow could even feel that the muzzle of the fort had turned towards them.

"Well, sir, how much tax are you going to ask me to pay?" Jack Sparrow stepped off the boat and looked at the tax official.

The tax officer looked at the Jenny and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. According to the length of your ship, we will charge you 120 silver coins each."

"120 silver coins!" The hair on Jack Sparrow's head was almost scorched, "This is too high!"

"Sorry, your ship is of a very high rank. You are still a famous pirate. This kind of pirate ship must be given a very high tax standard. You are not a merchant ship. Your reputation will definitely shake the entire port. This has caused a lot of panic on this route, and we need to put in more effort and painstaking efforts to make other merchant ships willing to approach the port." The tax officer flipped through the record book while holding Jack Sparrow.

Jack Sparrow heard it very well, but he just felt weird, "Can't you give a discount or something? You are just like the devil, this is sucking blood." Gibbs beside Jack Sparrow came together stepped forward and said.

"Sorry, sir, it can't be done, we're doing things according to the code!"

"Damn Codex, you guys are just a bunch of pirates."

"Yes, you are right. The predecessor of the White Iron Kingdom was formed by pirates. It is actually no problem to say that."

Gibbs choked for a moment, and didn't know how to answer. It is true that the original predecessor of the Iron Kingdom was an alliance of pirates.

It's just that people have turned themselves into masters now, and now they have turned from private to public. The robbery is still the same as before, but it is supported by legal provisions.

They are blatantly taxing these pirate ships.

Jack Sparrow winked and signaled Gibbs to pay quickly. He didn't want to have another word with the tax official. Although his words sounded pleasant, they hurt.

The tax officer's annoying-looking face would make Jack Sparrow feel uncomfortable for a moment longer.

Gibbs reluctantly took out his wallet and counted it to the tax collector one by one.

"St. John, welcome!" the tax official said with a smile after taking the money.

"I hate this pedantic etiquette." Gibbs pinched the money bag and felt that a piece of his flesh had been gouged out.

The tax officer blinked, as if he didn't hear his mumbling.

"St. John welcomes you, but I also hope that the wise captain can restrain your sailors. If something unpleasant happens in St. John, I believe it will be difficult for you to leave St. John's intact."

"Please restrain your sailors, and don't act too aggressively. Guns are allowed on St. John's Island, but if someone accidentally kills them in a duel, St. John's will not hold both parties responsible for the murder, but Disorderly conduct will be punished."

"In addition, please pay attention to your words and deeds and abide by the law, otherwise the final result may be something you don't want to see."

"You are always welcome to join the large mine company in the Iron Kingdom." Listening to the tax official smiling, he finished speaking those words that made Jack Sparrow and the sailors tremble.

Jack Sparrow was speechless for a while, they were still a little apprehensive about such a blatant threat from the tax official.

"Sorry, I still have official business, I wish you a happy life!" The tax officer said with a smile, and greeted another ship that was moored.

The Baitie Kingdom did not impose strict legal punishments on both sides of the private fight, and even investigated who was responsible and the source of the problem. Usually, they each hit 50 boards, but instead of lightly exposing them, they were directly escorted to the mine and Mine mining.

These people may have been there for several years, and many sailors on the Jenny have suffered among them.

Jack Sparrow was full of complaints about Roy Smith's endless use of this criminal law to restrain these sailors.

In his view, Royer Smith is to squeeze the labor of these people and let them use their strength to contribute to the Iron Kingdom.

Although it is a bit disgusting, it is indeed very effective, because the work in the mine is sometimes more terrifying than death for sailors.

There was a sailor beside him who had never been to St. John's Island, and asked softly: "Captain, we are pirates, why should we abide by the laws of the Iron Kingdom?"

"Aren't pirates able to do whatever they want!"

"Tell you to talk!" Gibbs smacked him on the head.

"Hiss~~" He covered his head and almost squatted on the ground.

Gibbs said angrily: "They are also pirates. If we abide by the pirate code, they will deal with us according to the pirate's rules. If we don't abide by the pirate code, you will face the pursuit of bounty hunters. What are you going to do?" Clearly, that's not a good thing."

"When you are hunted down, you will be sent to an unknown island to mine, or even go to the side of a volcano to dig sulfur. That day will definitely not be the day you imagined."

"Your feet will rot first, your nose will rot, your lungs will rot, you will slowly rot on that island, mining will become your only hobby, and they will make you like this Hobbies, let you mine while singing.”

"People in the White Iron Kingdom will not execute pirates to death, but the result is more terrible than execution." Gibbs snorted coldly.

"If you owe too much debt, it is even possible that your soul will be sold to those evil wizards and become their walking dead, never returning to the embrace of God."

"Ah!" The sailor turned pale.

Jack Sparrow patted the sailor on the shoulder and said, "Never provoke Royer Smith. After Davy Jones leaves this sea, Royer is the devil of this sea."

"He not only plays with the human body, but also with the human soul. There is no good end to go against him, but if we abide by his order and the pirate code, we pirates can travel unimpeded in these seas." Jack Sparrow took another shot I took a picture of this somewhat inexperienced sailor.

Jack Sparrow shook his head, hey, he's still too young, he doesn't know the horror of Roy Smith, he thinks he's the boss, he's the second child, anyone can offend, he's so arrogant, even his great Captain Jack It went around Royer.
