At the gate of the town, there was a long convoy of people from all over the village.

Chen Xiu looked over and saw that there were more than a dozen sword-wielding people guarding the city gate, interrogating the vehicles entering the city one by one, and asked strangely: "This entry into the city still has to check the identity?"

Da Niu shook his head and said: "In the past, you only needed to pay the poll tax to enter the city, so you don't need to check it so carefully." ”

A man dressed as a trader on the side came over and whispered, "You still don't know? Last night, the Nancheng Broadsword Society fought with the people of the Wild Wolf Gang in Dongcheng, and I heard that hundreds of people died!"

"Who won?" asked the people around them.

"Don't you look at the people guarding the East City Gate now, all of them are members of the Broadsword Society, so naturally the people of the Greatsword Society have won! Now they are searching everywhere for the remnants of the Wild Wolf Gang. Let's not talk about it, let's all disperse, don't let the people of the Broadsword Society treat us as the remnants of the Wolf Gang!"

After everyone dispersed, Chen Xiu asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, the town is controlled by a gang, not guarded by people from the government?"

"Although our Qinghe Town is the territory of the Holy Heavenly Gate, one of the thirty-six sects. It's just that the area under the jurisdiction of the Holy Heavenly Gate is too large and has a large population, so the Holy Heavenly Gate does not directly govern it, but lets some of the gangs and dynasties below manage it. As long as you pay enough taxes to the sect every year, you can do it.

We are here and this is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Like the small place of Qinghe Town, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had few troops, and the city was handed over to four gangs for management. As long as the four gangs pay enough taxes to the court every quarter, the court will also let it go. ”

This was a big surprise for Chen Xiu, he couldn't imagine that the management on the Flood Desolate Continent was so sparse, and he couldn't help but be even more strange: "Since it is a gang, they all belong to the management of the court, and they fight each other, and the court doesn't care?"

"There are so many things that can be managed there, generally as long as enough taxes are paid every quarter, the court is too lazy to care about that place is that gang Dali. For as long as I can remember, I've seen more than a dozen gangs settle in Qinghe Town!"

Chen Xiu was even more dumbfounded, no wonder Chen Dayou said before that the struggle in the secret realm was a hundred times more cruel than on the earth, and it was indeed the case.

According to the management system of the Holy Heavenly Gate and the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is simply a place outside the law, and it is already a miracle that there is no smoke and rivers of blood.

I only heard Da Niu is continue: "Don't worry, gangs like them grab territory and kill each other, and they generally don't involve us ordinary people. Either everyone will stop going to the city to do business, or go to other towns to do business, and the gang will not be able to pay taxes to the court, and the court will inevitably send people down to collect it, and the trouble can only be themselves. As long as you are not stingy and reckless, you will not do this kind of killing chickens and eggs. ”

"I see. ”

Chen Xiu thought in his heart: "It turns out that I am worried about the sky, the human race here in the Flood Desolate Continent has multiplied for tens of thousands of years, and it is only more than the population on the earth, and they naturally have their own set of management systems. It doesn't have to be worse than the kind of federation and republic system on Earth!"

After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally their turn to enter the city, and several gangsters from the Big Knife Society came to check on themselves, but Chen Xiu couldn't make a sound, afraid that his accent would reveal his identity, and there were big bulls to deal with.

Chen Xiu secretly observed the leader of the Broadsword Guild and was surprised: "The gang members of a small town gang are all cultivators of the Nine Grades True Qi, and they really deserve to be the continent of the Cultivation True Civilization. It seems that my first-class cultivation is not a green onion here, and it is better to clamp the tail and be a talent. It's best to find the teleportation array back to Earth as soon as possible, or the Earth is safe!"

Several gangsters interrogated, and then took a tiger bone from the ox cart and let the two lead the ox cart into the city. Chinese bar

Chen Xiu was strange and said, "What does it mean that the people of the Great Sword Society have taken away the tiger bones?"

"Pay your taxes. ”

"Pay taxes?"

"That's right, tiger bones soaked in wine, or used in medicine can strengthen muscles and blood, which is very beneficial to cultivation......

"I know the effect of tiger bones. Chen Xiu was puzzled and said: "I just don't understand, taxes are like this...... Is it simple and crude?"

In Chen Xiu's concept, this method of collecting taxes is not only simple and crude, but also primitive!

But the big cow said as a matter of course: "Of course it is taxed like this, and it has been like this for thousands of years. ”

Well, things on the Flood Continent cannot be understood with the thinking of the earth.

When the two of them entered the city, Chen Xiu felt like he had entered the filming base of a costume drama, antique Chinese-style buildings, high eaves and teeth, and the building complex was like a dense beehive, like a rotating water vortex, towering high, I didn't know that there were tens of millions of them;

The street is bustling with pedestrians, the cars and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, the street extends to the east and west, the street is still pedestrians, there are people who carry the burden and hurry, there are those who drive ox carts to deliver goods, there are those who drive donkeys to pull trucks, there are those who stop to watch the scenery, not far away faintly there is a penetrating shout of the vendors, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses, Chen Xiu feels as if he is in a colorful and rich picture, he can't help but walk slowly, it is very prosperous, and there is a different scenery than the earth.

Chen Xiu followed the big cow all the way to drive the ox cart to the wild goods market in Dongcheng, this is the prey that came early from other villages, and the big cow is known to greet one after another.

"Big cow, have you hunted anything good for the longest time?"

"There's something good there, but it's just two tiger skins. ”

At first, everyone only thought that he was modest, but when they heard that it was a tiger skin, they lost interest, everyone is a hunter, and fighting tigers and bears is just a normal operation, if it is a first-order fierce beast tiger, it is still a rare thing.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the big bull didn't reply, but just shook the tiger skin from the ox cart a few times, and a sharp-eyed hunter exclaimed: "This ...... There is not a single hole in this tiger's skin! Okay, the great bull's archery skills have grown! You shot an arrow into the tiger's eye, and let it kill it at once!"

Ordinary hunters hunting tigers and beasts are naturally not allowed to use iron forks and swords, which will inevitably leave holes in the tiger's skin. When everyone saw that there was no hole on the two tiger skins of the big bull, they thought that he had killed the tiger with an arrow in the eye.

Da Niu shook his head and said: "You still don't know my skills, except for brute strength, but archery skills can't be used......"

One of the hunters interrupted him and said, "Big Niu, don't you want to brag that you killed these two tigers with your bare hands!"

Everyone laughed loudly, and the masters of emotion may not be able to kill the tiger with their bare hands, unless they are masters of the products and may have this strength, they naturally do not believe that the big bull is the master of the products.
