Funny, one of the other author's works, Potion, also advised lower taxes, but in that it was touted as something that would bring more profit through traders.
At first I was starting to compare the two before remembering they're the same author, but yeah, they are in fact.
Comparatively, this series kinda undersold the value. Maybe there were other factors, like the other series' low tax location being more centralized in the first place so that it'd matter more.
Still, heyo to low taxes.
