Chapter 1100: hunting

Views:

The word Ambiro means "a river surrounded by mountains" in the Ogdin language, so the newspaper with the largest circulation in Ambiro State is called "Green Field Daily", which seems to have no connection, but in fact it has nothing to do with it. association.

The newspaper announced in an unprecedented and exciting tone that the Chamber of Commerce in Ambiro State has been criticized from top to bottom due to serious problems such as corruption and cover-up of criminal activities. In order to ensure that similar problems will not occur again in the future, the operation of the Chamber of Commerce will be subject to the state government's supervision. Management and supervision.

During the second inspection of the chamber of commerce, government staff found that a large number of documents had been obliterated and modified, and some documents had been lost due to chaotic management.

In order to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of legitimate merchants, merchants registered with the Ambiro State Chamber of Commerce must go to the "Business Management Office" of the state government to re-register a piece of information, using a dual management system to ensure the correct information of each merchant , to deal with the subsequent tax registration situation.

On the day when the newspaper published it, some capitalists in Ambluo State who still insisted on the position of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly went into an uproar. It was not just a small group of capitalists in Ambluo State who were in an uproar. The capital market in the entire empire was shocked.

On that day, there was an obvious downward trend in the industrial sectors of the three major exchanges in the Empire State. The stock prices of a few real industries related to the West experienced serious declines, which led to the Empire State Industrial Index and the Empire State Composite Index to have a daily decline of 200 points for the first time in two years. Terrible effects of the above.

For a while, investors who were confused began to pay attention to why the stock price experienced such a terrible drop. Those who knew a little bit about the news were asking how the Chamber of Commerce could make such a retarded decision.

Yes, a retarded decision, that's what most people think.

The fear of the Chamber of Commerce lies in their independence. Their independence, which cannot even be interfered by the imperial regime, allows the Chamber of Commerce to stand firm in this commodified society. As long as every developing capitalist wants to succeed and develop, he cannot do without the support of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce has given these capitalists necessary assistance and support, and these capitalists have also given the Chamber of Commerce greater influence as they thrive, but all of this is based on "independence."

It's like a book full of secrets, hidden in a box. In the past, many people wanted to open the box to see what was written inside, but they could not destroy the box without a key, allowing many secrets to be preserved.

But now, they actually handed over the key, which would be devastating to the book full of secrets and the person who wrote them.

The simplest point is, what to do with those taxes that are "legally" avoided

This does not involve one or two companies, but the majority of the entire society. They have been using tax avoidance methods provided by the Chamber of Commerce to evade taxes by means that are between legal and illegal.

If something like this happened before the cabinet wanted to rebuild the tax system, it wouldn't be too serious. But now the empire is very strict about taxation. Once a large-scale leak occurs, it means that most companies are likely to be affected by this incident. The capital chain was broken, triggering a series of changes.

Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and liquidation have become the source of fear for these capitalists. The calls coming into the reception desk of the Chamber of Commerce almost made the Chamber of Commerce almost explode.

The senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce did not expect that Du Lin would actually make the transaction public. This little bastard did not abide by the unwritten rules at all and hid the behind-the-scenes transactions out of sight.

He generously took out this kind of transaction and exposed it in the sun, which triggered a huge and terrible chain reaction and made the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce exhausted.

Even the Undersecretary of the Imperial Finance Ministry declared in an informal setting that increasing the scrutiny of chambers of commerce and making their management transparent would have a very necessary role in promoting the economic development of the entire empire.

Some local governments have also begun to communicate with local chambers of commerce and want to extend their reach into the chambers of commerce. Even if they cannot divest the power of the chamber of commerce like Dulin did, they still want the minimum regulatory powers.

For a time, the entire society was in big trouble at certain levels, but the initiators were living a comfortable life.

Taking advantage of the last week of spring break, Ophelia came to Dulin. Dulin put down his work and took the girl on horseback around Ambiro State, especially near the Yagul Mountains, where It still retains a relatively original forest landscape, which is much more beautiful than other natural environments that have been more or less destroyed by man.

The girl is riding a horse and wearing a thin skirt, laughing and galloping in the wind. Her happy laughter is like a note from heaven, hitting the apex of people's hearts.

Dulin kept telling the girl not to ride too fast, but Ophelia, who was rarely able to play "wildly", didn't listen at all and rode her horse everywhere.

Fortunately, the comprehensiveness of noble education meant that Dulin did not need to worry about her riding skills. In the etiquette education of nobles, horse riding was also a very important social activity, especially the social activities of nobles.

Polo, dressage, and ordinary riding are all skills that nobles need to master. They don't need to be too high, but they at least know how to do it and won't fall off the horse too easily.

"This place is completely different from the north and the imperial capital!" Ophelia greedily breathed in the air that was so fresh that her nose was filled with moisture. The smell of earth and green plants turned into "I love the air here and all the plants!"

In the words of local farmers, this is the hypocrisy of the rich. Some boys and girls who come from big cities will even spend the whole morning watching buffaloes playing in the pond, or argue about a piece of feces on the road. Cow dung or horse dung.

Compared with these smells that have already numbed them, they actually want to breathe the air in big cities that is polluted by industry and smells of engine oil. That is the sweet air.

People are like this, the things they can't get are the best, and those who are too easily satisfied are often ignored by them.

"They are coming..." Looking at the knights galloping in the distance and the hunting dogs racing against the noisy wind, Ophelia quickly raised the specially customized shotgun in her hand...

Yes, when Du Lin saw this gun, there were all question marks on his forehead. In his understanding of Ophelia, she was a girl with a crystal clear soul, just like an angel, but he really didn't expect it. Ophelia not only came to see him, but also came to hunt.

Hunting is also the most common sport among nobles. Dating back to before the Great Destruction, there are relevant documents recording hunting activities. Now hunting has become a social activity that nobles are keen on, especially in the north.

As long as they are nobles, both men and women will pull the trigger and go hunting. The eldest prince and the third prince among the royal family members often organize hunting activities and maintain necessary relations with the royalists.

As the knight and the hound got closer, some movement began to stir in the nearby grass. Two plump rabbits were running away quickly, unaware that their real danger did not come from behind, but from behind. Coming from directly ahead.

Because Ambiluo State is affected by the ocean current climate, the winter is not too cold. The animals living here do not need to hibernate. As long as there are no hunters to harass them, they will always appear plump in front of people.

With a brief aim, Ophelia pulled the trigger, and the bullet spewed out of the gun muzzle. With a "xiu" sound, a rabbit suddenly fell down in the grass, kicking its legs crazily for a while. He stopped moving.

The gun in her hand is very special. The pressure index of a normal shotgun is very high. In addition to five splintering bullets, each shot will also eject a large amount of steam from the muzzle, temporarily blocking part of the sight.

But the gun in her hand has a pressure relief hole on the right side. After the bullet is fired, the steam is sprayed out from the side, which reduces the recoil. There is no steam to block the line of sight, but it will also reduce the lethality of the bullet, so the matching bullet They are all non-standard and specially customized.

The girl reloaded the bullet very neatly and pointed the gun at the other rabbit very seriously. In a few seconds, the pair of rabbits, who may have been a family, died in the wilderness of the west.

When Ophelia turned around, she saw Du Lin looking at her. She turned her back to the sun and her smiling eyes turned into crescent moons. "What are you doing?"

"Me?" Dulin came back to his senses, shook the reins and walked slowly towards Ophelia, "I was thinking about designing a set of armor for you. I never thought you would like it. hunt."

Ophelia put the shotgun backhand into the holster of the saddle in a fancy way, and stood side by side with Dulin, "You must be thinking that I will actually pull the trigger, right?"

Dulin nodded.

"You have never been to the manor in the north..." Ophelia paused here. "In fact, it is more appropriate to say it is a manor than a fief. That is the fief of the Timamont family. We are there. Owns a castle and an independent forest hunting ground... "

As one of the great nobles, it is normal for the Timamonte family to have its own independent fief in the north. Most nobles will find a suitable place for hunting in their own fiefs, as a daily pastime or to entertain friends. A place to party.

Ophelia's father was in very poor health and was sent back to the fiefdom since he was bedridden. There is a better private medical team there that can monitor his condition around the clock.

Ophelia, who lives in the north and takes care of her father, has nothing to do on weekdays. Every guest who comes and goes maintains an aristocratic demeanor, and they will not chat with a little girl.

This leaves Ophelia with few things to play with. Compared to polo, which is so intense that people often get injured, hunting is obviously relatively "quieter".

Soon the servant sent two rabbits over. Dulin observed them carefully for a while and asked, "Don't you think rabbits are cute?"

"Cute?" Ophelia tilted her head and thought for a moment, "No, I think they are more delicious."
