B3: Chapter 74: Waterford's New Buildings and Argument
The first thing Daz did after leaving the keep, was adding all of the new taxation laws as well as the bank savings law.
The punishment he had set was 7-days of community service in the mines or as a builder should a citizen fail to deposit the required 5% of all earned merit points into their accounts.
As for the taxes, since they were mandatory, should someone purchase a skill or upgrade from the system that lessened their taxes or excluded them from them, then they would be subjected to a month of community service.
Should either of these laws be broken more than three times by the same person, then half of the offender's merit points would be forcefully seized and added to the merit points of Fort Skip and they would be required to perform community service for a minimum of a year.
Once he had done that, Daz went and bought the upgrade for the keep that he'd promised Crosius.
Of course, he hadn't spent a fortune on a full-size upgrade of the building, but only on hiring more advisors, servants, chefs, and creating the extra room on the first floor for the sole purpose of testing people's potential.
Naturally, he added the tax to that as well like he had said he would. With all of that done, Daz checked Fort Skip's merit points and its base points before he left for Waterford.
| The total merit balance of [Fort Skip] is now 11,854,200 [-200,000]. |
