Wangchun City is incredibly prosperous, with thriving industries related to eating, drinking, whoring, and smoking, but eighty percent of the people and businesses here are still related to the tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland outside.
It can be said that this is the foundation of Wangchun City's prosperity.
So many people here are farmers.
No longer paying grain taxes, that's news more shocking than not having to pay protection fees.
One must understand that the two burdens pressing on ordinary people are indeed protection fees and grain taxes.
Especially with grain taxes, during a bountiful harvest, you barely have enough left over to get by, with the rest being taken by the Mo Sect to do business, claiming it's to build Wangchun City. Yet even entering the city incurs charges, and in times of disaster, if you can't pay enough, you end up deeply in debt to the Mo Sect.
