Chapter 50: Tax Revenue

Ben quickly responded, "This includes the top three regions—Eldoria, Solarny, and Ironhearth. Reports from the remaining two regions are delayed due to logistical challenges, but they should arrive soon."

Arthur nodded in understanding. "That's fine. Now, compared to the old tax system, how much has our revenue increased?"

Ben's lips curled into a slight smile. "According to the data from these three regions alone, our revenue has increased by 80% compared to the old system."

Arthur let out a pleased hum. "That's a significant jump. And what about our expenditures? We've hired more tax collectors, scribes, and officials to ensure the system runs smoothly. How much has been spent on maintaining the Keldorian Tax Office?"

Ben flipped through his documents before responding. "Yes, Your Majesty. Our spending on the KTO has tripled compared to the old system. We are offering above-average salaries to ensure loyalty and reduce corruption among tax officials."
