Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

　　 Lothar finally stayed in a tavern called "The Waves Calm".

　　 This is a wooden three-story tavern with a separate yard. The first floor sells wine and food, the second floor is used as a big shop, and the third floor is divided into several small rooms as guest rooms.

　　 Lothar chose this tavern not only because of their stables, but also for Lothar’s traveling horses to have a place to rest.

　　 Another reason is that this tavern is a rare high-rise building in this harbor area, so you can see more scenery.

　　 Yes, Lothar traversed the entire city, ran from the city wall area to the harbor area to stay, and also deliberately picked a high-rise single room.

　　 The accommodation environment is really good, the sound insulation effect is relatively good, you can not hear the noisy sound of the first floor; the furnishings in the house are also clean and tidy, and there is a small window for ventilation.

　　 Of course, this accommodation environment also has a matching price, two silver coins a night, and eighty copper coins for horses. After some bargaining, Lothar asked the boss to pack three meals and hot water at the price of three silver coins per night.

　　 Expensive is a bit more expensive, but Lothar feels that he still has the ability to make money, which is not bad.

　　While on the earth, Lothar donated most of the money he earned because of gratitude for the care of an orphan by his adoptive father, leaving only enough living expenses.

　　 After he came to this world, he has lost a lot of ties. It is not bad to let himself enjoy life by taking advantage of the money he still has.

　　...

　　 Early the next morning, after Lothar finished exercising in the house, he cleaned up and started a day of travel.

　　 He found that he still underestimated the city.

　　 This seaport city surrounded by a wall that stretches for eight kilometers is indeed more than 40 square kilometers in area as he calculated.

　　 But since it is a port city, the existence of a port cannot be ignored.

　　 The estuary of the Norris River is not like an ordinary river, forming a delta area. Instead, it is directly injected into the sea because of the low sand content.

　　 A wide and sheltered natural harbor was formed on both sides of the river that rushed into the sea.

　　 When the Principality of Perth was established, the first generation of nobles did not sit back and watch such a fine port, and kept it there.

　　 The nobles, headed by the Viscount of Qatar at the time, with the support of the Grand Duke, took the lead in building a port here.

　　 In the next hundred years, this once small port gradually expanded. When the ancestors of the Qatar family were divided into earls, the magnificent city of Qatar City, which surrounds the port of Norris, was established.

　　 A port like this is not too small.

　　Only seen by Lothar, the Port of Norris will dock on average more than 100 large merchant ships of three or even five masts, as well as countless small merchant ships and fishing boats.

　　 This can bring a floating population of nearly 10,000 people a day to this city, and the economic benefits that follow are even more unimaginable.

　　According to the news obtained from Lothar's chat with others, the entire Qatar city is divided into different districts from east to west to three main streets.

　　The first street to the city wall is the military zone, and most of the city defense forces are stationed in this area.

　　 The second street from the south of the military zone is a residential area. About half of the permanent residents of Qatar City live here.

　　The residential area is followed by the commercial area and the administrative area. These two areas are inextricably linked, which fully reflects the city's heavy commercial characteristics.

　　 This is also the place where Lothar turns the most.

　　 After the third street, there is the harbor area, where boats are parked and cargoes are transferred.

　　 Of course, this is only a rough classification. In fact, except for the military camp in the military zone and the port in the seaport area, other functions are intertwined. For example, Lothar can see the prosperous business scene when he enters the city.

　　 "What a great city."

　　 Lothar stood on the third bridge looking at the busy scene of the harbor, silently sighed.

　　The so-called Third Bridge is the bridge of Third Street. Because of the river that passes through the city, each street has a bridge that spans it, which serves as a link to the city.

　　 It’s already time for the sunset, and the clear river water reflects the fiery red brilliance, which is quite poetic.

　　 Seeing the night, Lothar returned to the hotel with various commodities that he spent most of his financial purchase.

　　 After dinner, it was completely dark.

　　 After all, this city is not modern. Although there is still faint moonlight illumination, the whole city cannot be as brightly lit as it is in modern times. This makes the busy scene during the day and night quietly dissipate.

　　 Lothar sat at the wooden table and took out a stack of white paper and a set of quill pens under the light of the oil lamp.

　　 After finishing the paper, he wrote the four characters "Losha's Travels" on the homepage in the Chinese that he is most familiar with.

　　 Then, he recorded little by little what he saw and heard when he came to the alien world.

　　 Text is the best carrier of information. Lothar imagined that one day in the future, it must be a very romantic thing to open this travel note filled with his memories.

　　 Lothar can read and speak foreign languages, but writing it requires practice.

　　 But the travel notes he writes now carry his deepest emotions, so it is more meaningful to write in Chinese.

…Dividing line…

　　 After wandering around Qatar City for three days, Lothar finally set out to complete the things that Old Fisher gave.

　　 No matter where you are, it is not easy to find the home address of a government official who only knows his name.

　　 But the special combination of Qatar City and the tax officer makes the job of finding someone easier.

　　 This is because Qatar City is a prosperous business city, and therefore taxation has become a very important and tedious task.

　　 In such a situation, go directly to the tax department, and you will definitely find the person mentioned by Old Fisher.

　　 Lothar thought this way.

　　 But now, sitting on a chair in the reception room of the tax hall, he looked at "Tax Officer Lin Peng" who had been waiting for him for two hours, and his heart was full of doubts.

　　 The person in front of him is not the shrewd and capable tax officer he imagined, but an old man with white hair and beard.

　　 In Lothar's suspicious eyes, the old man finished reading Old Fisher's letter and raised his head.

　　 "I'm still thinking about how old Fischer suddenly found someone to visit me. It turned out to be incidental."

　　 The old man laughed, although he complained, but his expression was only happy.

　　 Seeing Lothar's puzzled expression, he then asked: "You are the tiger hunting warrior that Old Fisher said! What, is there any problem?"

　　 "Ah, no, nothing. It's just weird. You don't seem to be the tax officer I thought."

"Oh?"

　　 "I thought that in a city like Qatar City, taxation work would be very complicated. The corresponding tax officer should be relatively young. I didn't expect there to be an old man like you."

　　 "With all due respect, can you really have enough energy to handle tax work?"

　　 The old man didn’t seem to think it was such a question. UU read www.uukanshu.com, but this kind of seemingly straightforward question does not involve secrets, and there is nothing difficult to answer.

　　 The old man laughed again, seeming to be very happy for Lothar's doubts.

　　 "You are right, the taxation work in this city is indeed complicated, and almost everyone is too busy to stop."

　　 "But although I am a tax officer, I am different from them. Do you want to know?" The old man bought a pass.

　　 "If it is convenient for you, of course I would like to hear the details."

　　 "Haha," the old man smiled triumphantly, "Did you forget? I am the tax officer in Leiden Village."

　　 After speaking, seeing Lothar thoughtfully, he didn't give him a chance to understand, then he said:

　　 "I am not only the tax officer in Leiden Village, but also tax officers in several other villages."

　　 "The Principality of Perth is based on commerce, and Qatar City is also based on maritime trade as its pillar industry. The taxation work related to commerce is naturally very cumbersome."

　　 "But the taxation under my jurisdiction is a remote agricultural village. The taxation work is much simpler. It is enough to collect the tax once a year after the fall."

After 　　 finished speaking, he looked at Lothar who had suddenly realized with a smug look.

　　 He likes this process of solving puzzles.

　　 "So, I took it for granted, thank you for your doubts."

　　 Lothar smiled bitterly and admitted his mistake.

　　 "Hey, this is normal." Lin Peng waved his hand, saying that he didn't mind.

　　 "I am really interested in your hunt for the tiger, can you tell me? Old Fisher's faith is too simple."

　　 "That's my pleasure."

　　 Lothar was also happy to communicate with this childlike old man. He used vivid language to explain the hunting of the tiger in Leiden Village.

　　 The relationship between the two is quietly getting closer during this conversation.
