"Little Xun, it's our turn."
Qixun, lost in thought, was called awake by Monkey Bro. She followed behind Uncle Lul and Monkey Bro, paid the entrance fee, and only after passing the twenty-meter city gate passage, did they truly enter the city.
Qixun marveled, one silver coin per person for the city entrance fee, that really wasn't expensive.
The donkey cart cost two, and as for the city gate tax on goods, it was charged according to estimated value, not more than fifty taels, calculated at forty taels, they collected forty silver coins.
She was just commenting on how cheap the per-person fee was when Uncle Lul shook his head and said, "Though one silver coin per person isn't much, our county is a major traffic hub by land, all merchants traveling north, south, east, and west must pass through here. The number of people and goods going in and out each day is beyond count. This city gate tax is also the main source of revenue for our county. Don't underestimate it."
