"Heh, I was waiting for you to ask." Wei Xiong took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "30% of 10 years' tax for Fengzhou's 12 counties. Lu County is rich and prosperous, so we want an additional 20% from there. How about that?"

"This…" Ren Yuankui's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. He smiled bitterly and said," You know that in order to gain the support of the Ye and Jiang families, I've already given 40% of Fengzhou's taxes to them. If I give 30% more… "

"Hehe, Governor Ren, don't hide it from me." Wei Xiong sneered and said, "I don't believe that you won't increase the taxes after you take office. What we're setting now is only the current tax rate!

"Even if you give out 100%, as long as you become the Governor of Fengzhou and double the tax rate of those bumpkins, won't you earn it all back?"
