Zhang Qiusheng didn't understand, he asked: "If you don't collect any taxes, how can the government of the dead city operate in vain?" If you don't have to spend money to do anything, what will happen to the city government? Zhang Daohan smiled again and said, "What kind of government is there, don't you take the modern politics here, okay?" Not to mention that this is the underworld, even if it is the yang world, in ancient times, the so-called government and county government were only three classes of officials. There are only a dozen people in the soap class, the force class, and the fast class. There has never been a county magistrate plus a dozen deputy county magistrates, plus a dozen secretary generals. Moreover, the imperial court below the county level will not care, and let the villagers govern themselves. In the future, if you read more books, there will never be any township officials.

How much can it cost to have a city lord in a vain city, and bring a few ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers? There is no need to build roads here. Not to mention that it is repaired today, the buried cable is dug up tomorrow, and it will be repaired the day after tomorrow, and the buried water pipe will be dug again the day after tomorrow, and it will be rebuilt the day after tomorrow. The lord of the city does not have to pay any political achievements to the Hades, to build any iconic high-rise buildings, and then to build any garden square. In short, there is not much money to spend on urban development. What the city of the dead has been like since ancient times, and what it is still today. ”

Zhang Qiusheng still didn't understand, he asked, "You still missed a question." Rent. The merchant does not pay any taxes, but the rent is always paid. If the merchant has no business to do, he will inevitably lose rent. Also, there is no need to spend money on city construction, but ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers always have to pay salaries. I'm afraid it's not enough to collect those few city gate taxes, right? Zhang Daohan was willing to talk to Qiusheng about this, and he thought that through Guò's thinking and questioning, coupled with his answers, Qiusheng could slowly recover from his idiot state. "There's no rent to pay," he said. These houses are owned by the merchants, and no one will rent a house to buy or sell. If the business is so depressed and you still rent a house to do business, you are a complete fool. It's understandable to be confused before you die, but you can't stay in this vain city if you are still confused when you die. The meal was eaten as breakfast by other ghosts. Or they were caught by these merchants and sold as goods. ”

Catching ghosts and making items? Zhang Qiusheng was surprised. The ghosts here are equivalent to people in the yang world, and they can grab people and make items at will, so isn't that equivalent to making human meat buns in the yang world? The biggest possibility is that there are no laws in the city. But even if there is no law, there should be some rules and regulations, and primitive tribes still have customs. Although Zhang Qiusheng himself was in the Evil Ghost Dao Shura Dao, even the Animal Dao devoured other evil ghost Shura. But that's the environment. He does not devour others, but others will eat him. It's like the difference between killing on the battlefield and killing in a peaceful city. It is the hero who kills on the battlefield. Kill in a peaceful environment, that is a criminal. Just like he killed Wu Shaohong and Wang Shaoyang and their gang, no matter how justified he was, he couldn't deny that this was a crime. I have to run away quickly, or I have to be arrested by the police obediently, or I have to turn myself in.

Zhang Daohan pointed to the shops along the street and said, "There are only two ways for these merchants to sell all the items. One is to use their own Yin Aura to control zuò, and the other is to catch other ghosts to do it. Unlike the Netherworld, where there are all kinds of resources to exploit, there are no mines to mine here. It is also lonely yin and yang, and the five elements are incomplete, causing all things to be unable to grow. Why do you think you make utensils here? Therefore, you can only use the Yin Spirit Qi that you have cultivated yourself, or use the Yin Spirit Qi of other ghosts. Don't take the laws of the yang world here, even the laws of the yang world are useless to the strong. The law of the jungle is the same everywhere, but the way of expressing it is different. ”

Zhang Qiusheng understands the principle of the law of the jungle. If it weren't for the fact that his family was too poor and his grandparents were just ordinary retired workers in a shoe factory, Wang Shaoyang's gang of hooligans would not dare to bully his sister. And the tragic death of my sister did not let Wang Shaoyang and them receive the punishment they deserved, is it not because Wu Shaohong is a policeman? And Wu Shaohong's uncle is the vice president of the Municipal Intermediate Court?

After the refining of the sea of resentment, Zhang Qiusheng now has no hatred. But the truth is still the same, and it does not change because the obsession disappears. If you can be reincarnated with the memories of your past life, the first thing is to make yourself strong. I don't bully others, and others don't want to bully me. But why should I be reincarnated? If you live in the sun, don't you live in the underworld? I will no longer catch other demons and devour me, and no other demons will try to eat me. That's good, why bother to be reincarnated!

Although Zhang Daohan didn't know the specific thoughts in Qiusheng's heart, it could still be seen that the children did not have any memories of Yangshi. It is not an exaggeration to describe the current Zhang Qiusheng with his heart like ashes. can only be enlightened slowly, this matter is not urgent.

Now that we've decided to stay, we need to figure out what is going on here. Zhang Qiusheng asked, "You haven't yet."

How does the lord of the city pay the wages of the ghost soldiers? Also, you said that the houses of these shops are owned by the owner. Can you just build a house here? The new ghosts must all be weak, are they all going to be eaten or caught? Isn't there no new ghost to replenish the source of the dead city? "Well, this kid really plans to live in the City of the Dead. Zhang Daohan didn't come up with a way to enlighten for a while, and he had to answer this question well. It can't give the impression that I'm fooling him, otherwise he won't believe what he says in the future. Zhang Daohan said: "The city lord does not need to pay a salary, or only a little. There are many powerful factions in the City of Death. Each faction has a great character in charge. These awesome characters, the city lord, can't help it. Most of them have incense offerings in the yang world, and are even worshiped by thousands of people. If you want to live here, it's important to remember these factions. Knowing that there are many factions in the city of vain death, then every question about this place will be easily solved.

The ghost soldiers are paid by various factions to serve as errands. The cost of the ghost soldiers is also paid by these factions. I don't know if I can build a house casually. But a ghost with great strength can't build a house at all. As I said earlier, every qiē here is made by the Qi of the Yin Spirit. Without strong strength, let alone building a house, even a peanut can't be built.

Of course, it is more than enough to build a house with your strength. But after you build it, you have to be able to hold on to it, and don't let anyone else take it. With your strength, no one can beat you, but you can't stand the number of them. No matter how good you are, how many can you beat?

These shops say that they are the merchants themselves, but in fact they are all factions. The treasurer inside is actually from the tribe, just like the personnel department of the modern Yang Mortal Organization appointed. The factions are evenly matched, and no one should fight anyone's idea.

As for whether the new ghost will be eaten and caught? The fool will definitely be eaten and caught. If you are smart, you have to join a certain faction, and your back is against a big tree to enjoy the shade. If you want to stay here, you have to join a faction. ”

Defect to a faction? Although Zhang Qiusheng is an idiot, he is not stupid. The prison is a big school, and he spent nearly half of his life in prison, and he still knows a little about some basic legal knowledge. At the very least, he knew the principle of consistency of rights and obligations. If you join a faction and this faction provides you with refuge, then you have to make a certain contribution to this faction. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Zhang Qiusheng tried to ask, "Then if I join a certain faction, what do they need me to do?" Zhang Daohan looked up at the starry sky. Oh no, there's no starry sky here. He just turned his face up, let out a long breath, and said, "A man like you will definitely not let you guard the city gate." What do you want to do? Who would have thought that! The heads of those cattle people of various factions are already different from ordinary people, who knows if they will whimsically tell you to do that strange thing? If you accidentally defect to the eldest or second eldest of that faction, even if it is the eighth or ninth oldest, the person who has a very high status in the faction is the Golden Vulture anyway. Jin Wushu asked you to kill Yue Fei, will you kill him? ”

Zhang Qiusheng gasped. This, this, this is also terrible, right? He stammered and asked, "Yue, Yue, that Wumu Wang is also here?" Zhang Daohan said irresponsibly: "I don't know either." It's so big, so mysterious, I can't investigate. Anyway, there are too many people here to count. A person like Yue Fei, he was succumbed to death, and he will definitely go here after his death. Although the yang world revered him as a god, heaven and earth were no longer open from his time. He can't fly to the immortal realm, he can't enter the heavenly court, he has to come here. Someone like him, do you think he would be willing to be reincarnated as an ordinary person? ”

Zhang Daohan lived for several lifetimes, a total of 2,300 years. I have never done political and ideological work. For more than 2,000 years, he has either been fighting with others, or he has touched a deep mountain and a wild depression to cultivate. There are only three or four friends, and they haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. Carefully and meticulously persuading Zhang Qiusheng not to stay in the Netherworld like this is the first time for Zhang Daohan.

Zhang Qiusheng still didn't give up, and asked: "Then let me investigate first, and see which sect is a good person before going to take refuge?" Zhang Daohan said: "Of course, it is good to investigate clearly. But in fact it is not possible. We won't be here for long. Probably the process of eating more than a hundred meals is equivalent to a month in the yang world. This is still my experience, if you are afraid that you will only stay for a dozen meals. Because I've been here a few times, they know I'm not easy to mess with, and they know that I won't be here long, so they put up with it. What can you investigate with such a little bit of process? ”

Zhang Qiusheng was speechless. But now he is a person who has no obsession. If you can't stay here, then don't stay. I went back to Huangquan Road, it was not bad to sit there, and it was not lonely to be accompanied by the wind.

Two people and a dog, wandering around the city of vain. There is a good gate in the city of vain, there are no telephone poles, so you don't have to worry about accidentally hitting it. There are no cars, so you don't have to worry about being hit by a car when you walk in a daze. Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage passes by, and the speed cannot be compared to that of a car, so there is no need to worry about it at all. There are very few pedestrians, all of them are in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry to run errands. There is no leisurely street like the two of them and a dog.

"Lao Zhang, you're here!" Suddenly, I heard a voice shouting in delight. Zhang Daohan turned around when he heard the voice, and also said loudly: "Haha, it turned out to be Brother Lu." What about Du Lao? Aren't you two inseparable? ”

Brother Lu said, "Here, here, just drunk." As soon as Brother Lu finished speaking, a hoarse voice sounded: "Who said I was drunk?" ”

Zhang Daohan said softly to Zhang Qiusheng: "These two people, one is Lu Yu and the other is Du Kang. Seeing Zhang Qiusheng's dazed look, he knew that he hadn't heard of these two people, so he whispered: "Lu Yu is a tea fairy, and Du Kang is a wine saint." ”

Zhang Daohan was sloppy with Lu Yu, and he was very respectful to Du Kangke, he bowed to Du Kang, and said, "Your Majesty has been doing lately?" Du Kang waved his hand drunkenly and said, "Don't follow me to the afterlife." I'll just ask you, did you bring the mash? ”

Zhang Daohan said with a guilty face: "No, the Meng Po soup is too powerful, I drank too much this time, and I completely forgot about it when I returned to the yang world." Lu Yu interjected and said, "I don't want to come to my tea pill." It's no wonder to you, I'm too lazy to be reincarnated because this Meng Po soup is too powerful. If I can't drink tea after reincarnation, I might as well stay in this city of vain. Neither of them blamed Zhang Daohan for breaking his promise, but they both sighed, as if they had lost some incomparably precious treasure.

Zhang Daohan said again: "However, I still brought a little here." I refined it in the yang world and used it myself. Before he ran out, he was killed by thunder, and he arrived here in a daze. As he spoke, he took out two small porcelain vases, and gave one to Lu Yu casually. Another porcelain vase was held in both hands and respectfully handed it to Du Kang.

Du Kang and Lu Yu took the porcelain vase with both hands, put it on their noses and sniffed it, and carefully put it in their arms. Zhang Daohan took out another big bag and said to Lu Yu: "Here is tea, and I usually drink it in the yang world." Lu Yu thanked him excitedly and said to Zhang Daohan: "Brother, this, this, I am really very grateful." The tea leaves in the yang world must be more authentic than the ones I have refined with the qi of the yin spirit. He sighed and said, "How long has it been since I've had real tea?" Sometimes I really want to go back to the sun. But as soon as I drink the Meng Po soup and reincarnate, my Lu Yu will not be Lu Yu. If you are reborn as a pawn of a peddler and a butcher who sells the likes of a man, and treats the best tea all day long as a common thing to quench your thirst, will you not be the great sin of the world? Alas—" sighed and sighed. He grabbed a pinch of tea leaves and put it to his nose to sniff, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance of tea.

Zhang Qiusheng did not drink tea before his death, and he did not study tea at all. At this time, looking at the tea leaves, I can't see the doorway at all. There is no color in the netherworld, and the shape of the tea leaves held in Lu Yu's palm is a tea tip, and the color is only a slight difference in shade black.

Zhang Daohan took out two more large jars, handed them to Du Kang and said, "This is also what I brewed and drank myself." There are only these two altars left. Du Kang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, good, good." The water in the yang world is always better than what I refine myself. I've got to figure out a way to save it. Otherwise, the yang energy will run away, and the wine will be gone. ”

Lu Yu had already passed the initial intoxication at this time, and began to find faults: "This tea is not pure!" The taste is not pure, and the shape is not neat. I told you that tea should be picked on the high mountains that are foggy all year round. Also, it must be picked by a woman in her prime. Why? Because such a woman's hands are careful, they will not break when they are picked. I've repeatedly—"

Zhang Daohan and Lu Yu were not polite at all, and after listening to Lu Yu's chatter, they hurriedly interrupted and said, "Do you know what kind of world the yang world is at present?" ”
