"Lord Governor, there's nearly three million in national tax, contributed directly or indirectly by the industries of our Wang Family marriage alliance, including those of the Shouda Trading Company... Is that the kind of tax revenue you expect me to increase by fifty percent?"
Taishi An Kang's old face reddened, and he glared at Wang Shouzhe: "Isn't it because this County Governor has no other options? Longzuo County is newly established, and naturally lacks the foundation of those older counties. Otherwise, I wouldn't be eagerly waiting for you to return to discuss this matter."
"Did you cry about it?" Wang Shouzhe asked.
"What?" Taishi An Kang looked bewildered.
Seeing his silly expression, Wang Shouzhe felt helpless: "I mean, have you cried to His Majesty about it? At the very least, filed a petition crying about it?"
