" The filth of the earth if you ask me! Look at at what they did they robbed me of not half of my money but half of my goods as well!" -Disgruntled Umbarian trader's first reaction with a Xinese tax collector.

The Xinese tax collector is one of the most despised individuals within the empire (By outsiders of course.) They collect not just tax but also tariffs and tribute. They generally collect the tax rather peacefully and even give people a little wiggle room on payment but if force is necessary then force will be used (By use of imperial troops of course) if a nation refuses to pay tribute the Xinese will first place economic pressure and if necessary war (Of course this is only with larger sums of money) another way they get payment is either impressment or labor. Sometimes if a nation owes enough money they will stop merchant ships and take all of the goods to pay of the debt.

Xinese tax collectors wear yellow robes with white trim. A white lotus on the back. They always wear a black printers cap and have their hair in a single braid. Of course tax collectors on 'raids' will have a katana at their side and wear their hair in a top knot (Yes that right warrior tax collectors.) each tax collector is also a trained samurai warrior in service of the imperial court.

Moral of the story:

Just pay your taxes people and we won't have to sick Tax collecting warriors on your door step.
