The deal was settled, the meeting adjourned, and Hudson, who was on his way home, could only forcefully suppress his excitement and put on a sour face in front of everyone.
Looking at the spirited Earl Piers, who was continuously giving orders, he couldn't help but want to hit someone.
If Hudson's face was bad, the moods of his followers were worse. The distribution of this round of "repayment taxes" fell heavily on the Southeastern Province.
After numerous negotiations, in addition to the six million principal Earl Piers proposed to repay, the deficit part of the interest payment on debt bonds would also be distributed in the repayment tax.
The total amount of the "repayment tax" was ultimately set at 9.37 million gold coins. The Southeastern Province was allocated a total of one million three hundred thousand gold coins, accounting for nearly fourteen percent.
Such a high proportion of undertaking spells one word: "sucker".
