"You guys are too much, is my sense of existence so low?" Ning Tian was very angry, gritted his teeth, and didn't call him when he ate.

“......”......

Everyone looked at each other, crying and laughing, they really forgot Ning Tian's existence.

Luo Ling gloated and said: "I am not active in eating, and I have a problem with my thoughts." ”

Luo Ling's father stood up and said, "Ning Tian, you wait a minute, and my uncle will go and cook it for you, and make the braised pork you like to eat." ”

"Uncle, you still love me. Ning Tian was teary-eyed, and his face was full of emotion.

Qin Mu was disgusted enough, Ning Tian was old, and he was actually coquettish, which was too coquettish.

Luo Ling teased: "Why don't you put your stomach on the stomach first?"

"You go away, I don't want to talk to you. Ning Tian looked at the leftovers on the table, is this for people to eat?

Qin Mu stood up and patted Ning Tian on the shoulder, "You wait for your braised pork slowly." ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Di Xia and the others to go out with him.

"Why are you going?" asked Ning Tian.

Qin Mu said: "Let's go outside to consume food." ”

When everyone came outside, Qin Mu said, "Let's go, go to protect the country." ”

Di Xia and the others looked at Qin Mu puzzled.

"I brought back a batch of light armor and weapons this time to arm the disciples of the Guardian Guard. ”

Light armor?

Weapons?

Di Xia and the others didn't understand.

When everyone arrived at the Protector, Qin Mu asked Di Xia to gather the disciples of the Protector.

Then, he took out light armor and weapons.

"This light armor is beautifully made. Lorin picked up a set of studies.

Qin Mu said casually: "These light armors have been tested, and they can resist a blow from the Nine Rank Grandmaster. ”

Di Xia and the others trembled slightly, their faces full of shock.

The disciples of the Protector of the Guardian are on duty all the year round, often accompanied by danger, and every year there are disciples who die because of various accidents, if the true light armor is really powerful, it is a strong guarantee for the life of the Guardian disciples.

In fact, Qin Mu also thought so, to be honest, the disciples of the Protector of the Nation were working harder than the disciples of any force, and most of the characters he executed were in danger, which was why he ordered light armor for the disciples of the Protector.

"Oh my God. Jiang Wenlong exclaimed.

The eyes of the crowd were drawn to it.

I saw Jiang Wenlong open a weapon box and take out a long sword with a flickering cold light from it.

"Good sword. Jiang Wenlong is a master of knowledge, and he flicked his fingers on the sword body, and suddenly the sword groaned.

Qin Mu said: "These light armor and weapons are all from the hands of the dwarf clan, the dwarf clan's forging technology is very famous, these swords, it can be said that the iron is sharpened like clay." ”

The materials used in these light armors are all sea black iron, which is common in the sea area, and they are not the materials of high-level refiners.

In fact, a real master of refining weapons does not use precious materials to create good weapons, but uses ordinary materials to create divine weapons.

It can be seen that the forging technology of this dwarf clan is by no means in vain.

Di Xia and the others were full of excitement.

If the disciples of the Protector of the Nation wore these light armors and held weapons that were as sharp as clay, then their combat effectiveness would be greatly increased, and their lives would be greatly guaranteed.

There are now four hundred elite disciples of the Protector, and if you really count the secret agents all over Longxia, there are definitely tens of thousands of people who protect the Guard.

These four hundred elite disciples were all carefully selected, most of them were masters who were about to enter the Grandmaster Realm, and many of them were already Grandmaster Realm.

These four hundred people can be said to be the trump card of the national guard, and they are all the most dangerous characters, such as the poisonous demon beast that fought against the border last time.

What Qin Mu can do now is to arm these four hundred disciples first.

Qin Mu had seen their bravery when he was at the border.

However, now there are only 200 people in the Guardians, and the rest are on missions outside.

Light armor and weapons were issued.

Two hundred disciples, all of them with exquisite light armor, and a sword that sharpens iron like clay.

Now these two hundred people are standing together, and it is really majestic.

The two hundred disciples were full of excitement, knowing that the light armor they wore could withstand a blow from the Nine Rank Grandmaster, and the swords in their hands were all divine weapons that sharpened iron like clay.

As the so-called red wants to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse.

These disciples carry out the most dangerous missions, and most of them are qualified to match the best equipment.

Di Xia's face was solemn, he came to Qin Mu, clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and said seriously: "Qin Mu, I protect all the disciples of the national guard, thank you." ”

"Thank you, Senior Qin. ”

The two hundred disciples thanked them in unison.

Qin Mu waved his hand and said to Di Xia: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, this thing is not for you for nothing, you have to pay for it." ”

"Huh?" Dixia's face was full of confusion.

"Ah what?" Qin Mu said: "I saw good things and brought them back, which is already benevolent and righteous." Don't you still want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?"

"Dixia, as the Lord of David, the protector of the country, shouldn't you pay this money?"

Di Xia's face was full of embarrassment, "But aren't you also a protector?"

"I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Protector of the Country, are you embarrassed to let me pay for it?" Qin Mu asked.

Thinking about it, Qin Mu found these light armor and swords and brought them back, also to protect the country, it was already benevolent and righteous, and it was a bit unreasonable to let him pay for it.

Di Xia cautiously asked, "How much is this light armor, and how much is a weapon?"

Qin Mu said: "A set of 1,000 spirit grasses in light armor, and 2,000 spirit grasses in the weapon." ”

"What?" Dixia's eyes were about to bulge.

Lin Qiankun and others were also frightened.

Four hundred sets of light armor are 400,000 spiritual grasses, and 400 weapons are 800,000 spiritual grasses.

It all adds up... Di Xia was dizzy for a while, and he didn't dare to count it at all.

Even if the treasure house of the protector is emptied now, he can't even take out 40,000 spirit grasses now.

"These things are too expensive, aren't they?" said Di Xia weakly.

"It's all discounted prices, is a set of light armor with such strong defense power, a thousand spirit grasses expensive?

There's no denying that these are good things, and when you think about it, they're worth the price.

However, that adds up to a frightening number.

Di Xia's face was full of sneers, "Can Qin Mu discuss something with you?"

"Say, if you want to repay the debt, you don't have to open your mouth. ”

Di Xia said: "Do you think this will work? I, the Lord David, will let you do it." ”

Qin Mu glared, "Di Xia, you really have a good calculation, if I become the Lord of David, this money should be spent by me." And then you are also free, and throw me the mess of the Protector. You want to be beautiful, hurry up and give money. ”

"Qin Mu, to tell you the truth, you know where the treasure house of the protector is, but you can find it, you take all the resources inside, and how much belongs to you. I really can't do it, I can only use my position as the Lord of David to pay off my debts, do you love it? "Dixia turned out to be a scoundrel.

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Di Xia, you are playing scoundrel with me, right? What I am not afraid of is that someone will play scoundrel with me." ”

As he spoke, a golden firework rose in Qin Mu's palm.

Di Xia stepped back in a panic, but he knew that this golden firework was so powerful that it could turn people into ashes in an instant.

"Qin Mu, you understand the protection of the country, we are really poor, it is easy to save some spiritual grass, and most of it has been looted by you, we have so many people to raise, do you say it is easy for us?"

"I took a few thousand of your spirit grasses, you still remember them. "Qin Mu can be regarded as convinced.

"You are a dignified protector of the country, and there are not even 10,000 spiritual grasses in the treasure house, and you are embarrassed to say that you, the Lord of David, are a dry eater. ”

Di Xia said: "Yes, yes, yes, I just eat dry rice, so I am willing to hand over this position of Lord David to you, absolutely unconditionally." ”

Qin Mu was amused, this guy was as unreliable as Xiahou Xuanhao, he always wanted to go to the mountains and rivers, to put it bluntly, he was irresponsible.

"What do I want your broken position for?"

Di Xia looked pitiful and said, "Then I really can't come up with the money, or you can see how much I can worth, you will sell me, right?"

"Even if you calculate according to the price of pork, you can't sell it for a few dollars, who wants it? Who will buy you to go back to be a father? So, you're worthless. ”

The corners of Di Xia's mouth twitched, I am also a Ninth Rank Grand Master now, a character who is about to enter the realm of the Human Emperor, is it so worthless?

Di Xia looked at the two hundred disciples, with a sad face, and said, "It's me Di Xia I'm sorry for you, I can't afford this light armor weapon, hey... Take them all off. ”

More than 200 disciples of the Protector were full of reluctance, they really liked this light armor and weapons too much.

Qin Mu gritted his teeth, this old scoundrel.

"Alright, you all dress, with such a Lord David, you are also unlucky. Qin Mu said.

Di Xia was immediately happy and said, "Why don't you hurry up and say thank you?"

"Thank you, Senior Qin. ”

The two hundred disciples smiled and thanked them in unison.

Qin Mu pursed his lips, he hadn't thought of asking for money, but he couldn't get used to seeing Di Xia's old scoundrel.

"You, give me an IOU. Qin Mu said.

IOUs?

Di Xia was stunned, "You gave these light armors to your disciples, what does it have to do with me? I didn't ask you for them, so why should I give you an IOU?"

Qin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous glow.

"It's okay, if you don't want to make an IOU, then I'll discount your legs, anyway, you have to pay something for this batch of light armor and weapons, right?"

Di Xia was taken aback, he knew that Qin Mu could say it, and he could definitely do it. He looked around vigilantly, looking for a way out. As long as Qin Mu made a move, he would escape.

"Don't look at it, do you think you escaped from me?" Qin Mu said playfully.

Di Xia's face was full of flattery, "Qin Mu, there are so many disciples here, can you save me some face?"

Qin Mu clenched his fists, and his bones clicked.

Dixia was sweating profusely.

Qin Mu said: "Do you write this IOU or not?"

"I'll write, I'll write, right? But you have to give me some time, anyway, I can't pay it off in a short time, and it's useless to calculate that you kill me. ”

Qin Mu said with a smile: "Write, when you finish writing the IOU, I will tell you a way to earn spirit grass, and ensure that you earn at least one million spirit grass a year." ”

Dixia's mouth suddenly opened wide.

The others also looked at Qin Mu in shock.

Earn a million plants a year, just kidding, right?

However, Qin Mu has never said big things, he said that if there is a way, then there must be a way.

Di Xia ordered someone to get a pen and paper and quickly write an IOU.

Qin Mu put away the IOU, and this changed hands and transferred hundreds of thousands of spiritual grasses, and this business can be done.

"Let's go to the conference room. Dixia was a little impatient.

Protecting the country now has tens of thousands of spirit grasses every year, and after removing the consumption, it would be good to be able to drop 10,000 plants.

One million plants, it's exciting to think about.

Di Xia nodded like a dog's leg and invited Qin Mu to the conference room.

Lin Qiankun and others felt that this was the way it should be.

After all, Qin Mu had a way to earn a million spirit grasses a year.

When they arrived at the conference room, everyone took their seats.

Di Xia asked with a flattering face: "Qin Mu, tell me quickly, what can you do?"

Qin Mu looked at him with a face full of disgust, this person didn't understand anything at all.

"Just talking?"

Di Xia was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses in the next second, slapped the table and said angrily: "You guys are so disrespectful, don't you know how to show Qin Mu tea?"

Lin Qiankun and the others were full of confusion, they were completely convinced, even if it was a million spirit grasses, but there had to be a low limit, right?

Gan Ran really couldn't look past Di Xia's groveling appearance, he was simply discrediting the image of the protector, and he stood up on the ground, startling everyone.

Gan Ran said righteously: "It's too much, how can you forget to pour tea for Qin Mu?" I'll go in person and find out about the best big red robe." ”

“......”......

Everyone was directly stunned by this big reversal, what about the low limit?

Gan Ran ran fast, quickly brought tea to Qin Mu, and said with a flattering face: "You taste it first, if you don't like it, I still have the best Longjing here." ”

Qin Mu smiled: "Sensible." ”

Gan Ran nodded and ran over and sat down.

Di Xia couldn't wait to ask, "Qin Mu, what is the solution?"

Qin Mu took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup gently, and said, "Collect taxes." ”

Tax?

What the heck?

Everyone looked at each other, all of them full of confusion.

"Qin Mu, can you make it clear?" Di Xia asked.

Qin Mu said: "Let me ask, how many forces does the Longxia Kingdom have?"

Di Xia said: "It's hard to say this, after the change of the earth, large and small forces have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and as far as we know now, there are thousands of forces, right?"

"Well, even if it's five thousand forces. Qin Mu smiled and said, "Excuse me, are these five thousand forces in the Longxia Kingdom?"

Di Xia and the others nodded one after another.

"Is the Long Family Country under the control of the state?"

The crowd nodded again.

Lin Qiankun was shocked: "You don't want us to collect taxes with these forces, do you?"

Qin Mu nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, it is to collect taxes with these forces, collect taxes according to capitation, and each person has a spiritual grass, so that the big forces will pay more, and the small forces will pay less, which is very fair." ”

Di Xia and the others were stunned in shock.

Is this really crazy idea?

What are these martial arts forces?

In the eyes of the state, it is the underworld.

Have you ever seen the underworld call protection money?

Di Xia smiled dryly: "Qin Mu, you must be joking. No kidding, hurry up, what is there to make a million spirit grasses a year?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Qin Mu's face turned straight and said, "Since these forces are all in Longxia, they should be taxed. Taxation is the obligation of every Longxia citizen. Even ordinary people are paying taxes, why don't those warriors pay taxes?"

This...

Di Xia and the others were all confused, and they came back to their senses for a long time and collected taxes from the warriors, this idea is really crazy.

No one has ever done that. No, no one has ever thought of it that way.

Qin Mu said: "If you think about it, the sum of the large and small forces is far more than five thousand, and each force is calculated according to the most basic five hundred people, five thousand forces, and each force collects five hundred spirit grasses every year, which adds up to two and a half million spirit grasses. ”

"Although this number is not good, but this income is very objective, think about it, how many spirit grasses can you protect the country every year, and 50,000 plants are dead. ”

Two and a half million plants?

Everyone was startled by this number, and their breath became short, this number was really terrifying.

Qin Mu said with a smile: "One plant per person a year, and the tax of a few hundred spirit grasses is not a problem at all for those forces. The most important task of the Protector is to manage these forces. ”

Di Xia and the others smiled bitterly, although this number is very tempting, but it is too unreliable, which one of the warriors is good at stubble, you dare to come to collect taxes, it is strange if you don't turn your face on the spot.

To be honest, if it weren't for the support of the state, the protector would barely be a second-rate force, who would pee on you?

The point of collecting taxes was also what Qin Mu thought of during this trip to the sea, why can the Tiger Shark Clan and the Sea Snake Clan accumulate such huge resources, isn't it that the merchants below have to pay taxes?

Qin Mu said: "The fierce beast clan is about to be born, those forces will not manage it at all, this burden will eventually fall on the protectors, since they don't want to contribute, that's okay, if they don't help, they will pay." If they don't come out with anything, how can they protect them?"

"Of course, they still have a third way to go, and that is to get out of Longxia. ”

In recent months, the Protector has been lobbying the major forces to join forces against the Beast Clan. But there is little gain, these forces are extremely selfish people, they can't afford to make no profits, they have no interests to make, they won't care about this matter at all.

Di Xia smiled bitterly: "I think this thing is too unreliable, those people with big forces are all walking sideways, who will pay taxes? Although there are not many of these spiritual grasses for them, but the most important thing for martial artists is face, if they pay taxes, it means that they are under the control of our national guards, and it will not work at all." ”

"Our disciples who protect the country usually walk in the martial arts world, and they have to greet the martial arts forces here, if they are not careful, I am afraid they will not be able to come back, and they will not accept any taxes at all. ”

Luo Ling's eyes flickered, and he said: "I think what Dasha said makes sense, since they are in Longxia Country, they are citizens of Longxia Country, no matter what their status, they have to pay taxes." It's okay if you don't pay it, just get out of Longxia Kingdom. ”

"Moreover, not only those forces, even if they are loose cultivators, they also have to pay, and if they don't pay taxes, they ignore the laws of Longxia Kingdom, and if they are serious, they will be directly punished with treason. ”

Di Xia and the others were taken aback, but they didn't expect Luo Ling to be even more outrageous than Qin Mu.

......
