Chapter 940: Taxation Matters
Taking over Seven Rivers City was not in Li Shaoyang's plan, in fact, he didn't want to waste time on city management at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He hoped to spend more time cultivating and refining weapons, constantly improving his strength, and then returning to Earth to fight the Protoss.
However, after seeing the cowardice of the monks of Seven Rivers City and the corruption of the high-ranking monks in this border land, Li Shaoyang suddenly felt that he could not stand idly by, today was just a group of demon deserters living in a different place, which made the two big cities of the human race silent, and if the army of the demon clan suddenly appeared, what would happen?
Under the overturn, Ann has finished his eggs. When the human race is destroyed, where will you go to cultivate?
Based on this idea, Li Shaoyang accepted Ge Lao's order as the city lord, and he returned to Tianya Xiaozhu to rest for less than half an hour, so he invited Li Mengzhen and President Fang Tian.
Everyone sat next to the spiritual spring of the small building at the end of the world, drinking tea and chatting among the green mountains and green waters, but there was a different artistic conception.
Li Shaoyang touched the city lord's order: "I just read the copy of the tax revenue of Seven Rivers City given by Ge Lao, and there is a big problem here." ”
Li Mengzhen lowered his head and coughed, and the Fang Tian President smiled and said: "What's more, it's a big problem, I'll just say it directly, since the old city lord retreated, the major shops and sects in Seven Rivers City haven't paid taxes again!" ”
Taxes, no matter what world they are in, are the main economic source of a city, Li Shaoyang has seen the copy of taxes, and sure enough, all the taxes over the years have been blank, Ge Lao has also thought about this matter in the past few days in office, but unfortunately, he has no way at all.
Li Shaoyang poured tea for the two of them, and suddenly asked, "That old city lord, why do you want to retreat?" ”
Li Mengzhen pondered for a while: "Speaking of which, Seven Rivers City was established by the Wang City Lord, and it was still a battlefield between us and the Demon Clan back then, and it was the Wang City Lord who took the nearby people to drive away the Demon Clan, and then opened up the territory, until the border of the Long River, and then there was Seven Rivers City." ”
President Fang Tian also touched his beard and said: "The cultivation of the Wang City Lord is already in the Mahayana period, his old man's wish is to go to Elysium, and the old man is very urgent, he is cultivating desperately almost every day, I followed his old man when I was young, and I was a little servant. ”
Speaking of this, President Fang Tian had an expression of adoration on his face: "The old city lord was in the southwest of the empire at that time, and his prestige had surpassed that of the southwest county guard, but he just didn't want to be the county guard, and was willing to stay in Seven Rivers City, I once advised him, don't be too anxious to practice, practice this thing, it's ethereal, when you reach the Mahayana realm, you are already one of the best masters in the empire, why do you have to break the robbery and become an immortal." ”
Li Mengzhen said: "But every time the old city lord said this, he sighed for a long time, he said that Elysium is his destination, because he couldn't break through, the city lord Wang retreated desperately, how many years have passed, we can't remember what he looks like." ”
In this long-lived world, if Li Mengzhen can say such emotional words, it can be said that the Wang City Lord is really dedicated to cultivation and extremely sincere.
"Elysium......" Li Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "It's not necessarily as good as you think." ”
Of course, Li Mengzhen and Chairman Fang Tian didn't know that he, Li Shaoyang, was from the so-called Elysium, the blue planet. It was strange to hear him say this.
Li Shaoyang retracted this emotion, and talked about the tax again: "The tax must be collected again, I am now the deputy city lord, and there are many things to do, which all need Lingyu, relying only on the tofu workshop, Lingyu is not enough." ”
Li Mengzhen and Fang Tianhui had strange expressions, if it was about income, Canghai Jinlou and Fang Tianhui were definitely the big families in Seven Rivers City, and the Shaoyang City Lord said so now, that is, he wanted the two of them to make a statement first.
Both hesitated.
Li Shaoyang already knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so he smiled and said, "I have a plan, I want to ask the two of you to hear it first." ”
He got up slowly: "It's a habit for everyone not to pay taxes, and now they suddenly have to pay money, naturally everyone is dissatisfied, even if I rely on my current prestige and force to force everyone to pay taxes, after a long time, there are many complaints, and Seven Rivers City is not as stable as before." ”
When Li Mengzhen and President Fang Tian heard this, they both nodded, indeed, this is the crux of the matter.
"So, I'm going to find a way to get everyone to take the initiative to pay their taxes, and I'm going to happily line up to pay my taxes!" Li Shaoyang said softly.
Li Mengzhen and Chairman Fang Tian were stunned, how could this be possible? Isn't the Shaoyang City Lord joking?
But Li Shaoyang took a breath lightly, smiled and continued: "To do this, then you have to give everyone benefits, as long as you pay taxes, there will be great benefits and rewards, so that everyone's heart is excited, and the heart is very excited!" ”
Li Mengzhen frowned: "Shaoyang City Lord, what kind of reward is there that can make everyone's hearts move?" I really can't think of this. ”
Li Shaoyang deliberately didn't say anything, and it wasn't until these two guys were itching that he said in a deep voice: "The refining weapon is open!" ”
Suddenly, Li Mengzhen stood up with his body propped up, and President Fang Tian jumped up directly: "The refining weapon is open!" ”
In the entire empire, the refiners who can open the light can be counted on one hand, and there will never be more than ten people, and there are less than three refiners who can give magic weapons abilities in the light, including the imperial refining master of the empire!
Li Shaoyang looked at the two of them at this time: "Do you all have magic weapons on you?" Take out any of them. ”
Both of them were a little short of breath, so Li Mengzhen carefully touched a lotus Ruyi, and touched it a little uneasily: "This Fire Lotus Golden Saint Ruyi is my magic weapon necessary for treating cold poison, without it, I would not even have a problem walking, Shaoyang City Lord, are you sure?" ”
President Fang Tian gritted his teeth, and at this time he also took out an iron card: "This is the Black Sky Light Moon Card, my life-saving magic weapon!" ”
The two looked at Li Shaoyang, and their breathing became even shorter, this may be a big gamble.
Li Shaoyang smiled and let the two relax, first picked up the black iron plate of President Fang Tian, the small iron plate was carved with five kinds of monsters, flashing blue light, and he smiled as soon as he appraised the heavenly technique: "The summoning card of the holy grade, but there is only one summoning ability, and it can only summon a turtle, your magic weapon is really a waste." ”
President Fang Tian's eyes widened: "No, yes, that's right, because it hasn't been opened yet, I have spent a lot of money three times to buy off the imperial royal guards, and begged that royal refiner to help me open the light, hey, millions of spirit jade have all been lost." ”
Li Shaoyang held his black OEM, and his crystal jade hands flashed brightly, directly illuminating half of the villa.
President Fang Tian bullied in his chest, and he was about to faint, when he saw this spiritual light, he knew that there was a drama in this matter!
Li Shaoyang easily opened the light three times, and the black iron plate was bright and green, in addition to the turtle carving, another crane carving was also convex.
Putting away the aura, Li Shaoyang threw the black iron card to President Fang Tian: "Now you try again!" ”
Fang Tian touched it, and under the spiritual power induction, his summoning card could now summon two kinds of monsters, and the spiritual power consumed by summoning was directly reduced by half.
He trembled with joy, and almost knelt down in front of Li Shaoyang, not only because he was happy, but also because he saw a real refining master with his own eyes, Li Shaoyang could open the magic weapon so easily, and in the near future, he would be able to surpass the imperial royal refining master and become the strongest refining master in the world.
Li Mengzhen next to him bit his finger fiercely at this time, and then bowed to Li Shaoyang again and again.
Li Shaoyang smiled: "Don't worry, I'll help your Fire Lotus Ruyi open the light!" ”
He picked up the fire lotus Ruyi: "Well, this Ruyi can release warm fire and expel your cold poison, but there is only one ability to fire, I'll try it." ”
The aura shone again, and Li Mengzhen clenched his hands into fists, as if he was praying silently.
But after a while, Li Shaoyang returned the Fire Lotus Ruyi to him, and said with a smile: "You are lucky, you actually opened two abilities in a row." ”
What the? Two abilities?
Li Mengzhen hugged the fire lotus Ruyi, only to feel that the warm power kept pouring into his body.
Ability "Falling Cold"!
Ability "Changchun"!
The Falling Chill ability can expel the chill from the surroundings and body, and replenish a warm fire power, and the "Changchun" ability is even more powerful, which can keep the body and the surrounding area alive, and activate the monk's bodily functions.
With these two abilities, Li Mengzhen can not only expel the cold poison, but even the legs that have lost their feelings can slowly recover, which, this is simply ......
Plop, this originally invincible Canghai Mansion Lord, now he knelt down directly: "Shaoyang City Lord, my leg has been saved, and my Yuan Ying can also be repaired, this, you are to me, this is a life-saving kindness." ”
