Hearing Qin Yan's explanation, Peony immediately understood the obstacle: compared to the benefits brought to the Tianquan Empire by winning over a vassal country, it is thousands of times more important to maintain the mystery of the 'shadow', once the Tianquan Empire makes any moves in advance, it is easy for the 'shadow' to be completely exposed.

The anger on her face disappeared, and she frowned and said, "But...... Even if the vassal countries don't bring much benefits, if they all take refuge in other empires, they still invisibly increase the strength of other countries - after all, the Hidden Yuan Empire is the first target but not the last, and while dealing with the Hidden Yuan Empire, it enhances the strength of other countries that will be opponents in the future, which is always a bit of a tiger to raise. ”

"Although the Heavenly Power Empire can't do anything in advance, it doesn't mean that nothing can be done." Qin Yan showed a sly smile.

"Seeing you kid laughing like this, I know what kind of damage plan there is." Commander-in-Chief Hades laughed.

"The empire can announce to the outside world that all the vassal states that have recently been subsumed into my Heavenly Power Empire will have their enshrinements halved - of course, I just make an analogy, how much to reduce, or simply not to pay, then it's up to you to decide."

Qin Yan smiled extremely sinisterly, like a weasel who had stolen an old hen: "To put it bluntly, I don't like that resource at all, what we have to do is not to get as many resources as we want from the subject countries...... As long as the other eight empires do not have access to resources, they will be considered to have achieved their goal. ”

This is too bad, isn't it?

First, the financial district was free of charge for a thousand years without taxes, and now it is doing so again.

The financial district is completely exempt from taxes, although the financial income of the other eight countries has fallen, but due to the inherent business circles of each country, after years of development, it has become very mature, and those merchants will rarely close their existing businesses and transfer them to the Tianquan Empire, so it is not cost-effective to exempt them from taxes.

Because, the move of the Tianquan Empire will only make the branches that the various chambers of commerce are about to establish more inclined to the Tianquan Empire.

What's more, in the eyes of other countries, the Tianquan Empire's measures are very unwise, at least for now: although this move has caused the finances of the eight empires to fall by about 10% in the past two years, the Tianquan Empire has no zero income at all after being exempted from taxes.

Of course, this is not the case.

Whether it is finance or worship, for other countries, it is the largest source of strategic resource income, but it is only a small benefit for the Tianquan Empire.

But the plan proposed by Qin Yan this time is different!

For those merchants, even if the Celestial Power Empire is exempt from taxes, since their inherent business has stabilized and is in a profitable state, few people will close their existing business and move to the Celestial Power Empire for the sake of greed. However, this is different from the subordinate relationship of the subject countries, defecting to the Heavenly Power Empire will directly reduce the number of offerings, which is beneficial to each country.

In this way, not only the Hidden Yuan Empire, due to the matter of the Qiyun Empire, they have already planned to switch to the countries under the command of other countries, even the vassal countries under the command of the other seven countries are very likely to switch to the Tianquan Empire - the reduction of the collection of offerings means that the subject countries have more resources to pour into the development of their own countries, who is not happy with this kind of good thing?

Of course, once the Heavenly Power Empire released this news to the outside world, the other empires would definitely think that this was to attract those vassal states under the command of the Hidden Yuan Empire.

However, the countries will also realize that this decision will not only attract the vassals of the Hidden Yuan Empire, but also the vassal states under their command may change their flags.

What will they do?

Given that the Nine Great Empires have always been on the surface and have not dared to start a war lightly, they will definitely respond by other means.

In this case, there is only one solution: they also announce the same initiative.

Why is Qin Yan's plan very bad?

Originally, Peony proposed that he didn't want the vassal states of the Yinyuan Empire to take refuge in other empires. Qin Yan's plan is not necessarily, how many vassal countries can be won for the Tianquan Empire, because once the Tianquan Empire releases this news, other countries will have to follow suit, and the benefits offered to those vassal countries will definitely not be lower than those of the Tianquan Empire.

But!

The current composition of the Celestial Power Empire's resource income is completely different from that of other countries!

In the past, the resource returns of the nine empires were almost the same: if the total annual income was calculated as 100 points, about 55 points of resources came from finance, more than 35 points from subject enshrinements, and less than 10 points from the axis of the universe.

But now, with the other eight countries, there is no way to enter the axis of the universe, and the special forces of the Heavenly Power Empire don't have to worry about encountering other imperial masters in it.

What does this mean?

In the past, in the axis of the universe, it was likely that the time would be delayed due to encounters with people from other countries, and even be killed, resulting in the resources that had been collected could not be brought back. The most critical problem is that the axis of the universe can only enter a group of people in a year, and if it happens to die shortly after entering, the team corresponding to that year will not have any gains.

In short, as the other eight countries no longer enter the Axis of the Universe, the Celestial Empire's income in the Axis of the Universe will increase to at least 30 points on the basis of the original less than 10 points.

This is actually not much at all, whether it is the resources of these 30 points, or the resources obtained from finance and worship, compared with the resources obtained by the fourth way, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning.

The core of the axis of the universe, the 9-degree danger zone that no one could enter in the past billions of years - Qin Yan could enter!

If the annual strategic resource income of the Tianquan Empire is taken as 100 points, then the resources obtained from the 9th Degree Danger Zone alone will far exceed 10,000 points per year!

You know, it's the eruption of matter connected to another universe.

The resources of a huge universe are constantly erupting, and the area of the eruption is only the danger zone of 1 degree to the danger zone of 9 degrees, a place with a diameter of one billion kilometers, and the danger zone of 1 degree to 8 degrees are all small-scale eruptions of random nature, but the center of the danger zone of 9 degrees is a giant eruption vent with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers, which is incessant day and night, and the material that erupts there accounts for almost a quarter of the total eruption volume of the entire cosmic axis.

In other words, almost a quarter of the matter in the other universe was constantly converging into Qin Yan's hands, what a huge amount?

That's why he said he didn't care about the resource benefits brought by other aspects.

Today's Heavenly Power Empire does not need it, and how much income can be obtained in terms of finance, worship, etc., can make the income of several other countries drop sharply, and it will form the effect of eliminating the advantages of one and the other.

After all, the benefits brought by finance and worship account for more than ninety percent for other countries, but they are insignificant for the Tianquan Empire: once Qin Yan's plan is implemented, the income from the enshrinement of each country from the subject countries will definitely fall sharply on the original basis, and the Tianquan Empire will also fall sharply, but the same big fall is not worth mentioning for the Tianquan Empire, but it will lead to a shrinkage of the strategic resource income of the entire empire for other countries.

"Wife, what do you think of my idea?" Qin Yan said with a smile.

"You're smart."

In front of all the courtiers, Peony was not as cheeky as him, he just glared at him fiercely, but he was already smiling in his heart.

I really didn't see the wrong person, how many surprises and shocks does this man bring?

That's the Hidden Yuan Empire!

Standing at the top of the advanced civilization, the top civilization that has existed for billions of years is at the same level as the Heavenly Power Empire. However, its foundation, which no one could shake for billions of years, had already seen obvious shaking and swaying in Qin Yan's series of blows.

The benefits of the cosmic axis were choked.

The vassal states have seen signs of a change of flag.

The financial district has been hit even more violently.

Once these three ways of resource income are all blocked, the Hidden Yuan Empire will only consume and have no income, which is the legendary sitting and eating empty.

In the long run, even if there are more resources, they will gradually be exhausted, not to mention that Qin Yan will watch this country slowly consume in time after cutting off the resource benefits of the Hidden Yuan Empire?

No!

It is true that even if you ignore the Yinyuan Empire, it will slowly deplete until it runs out of oil, but Qin Yan will not let this country be idle.

His attacks will continue, which is definitely worse for the Hidden Yuan Empire, which is already unable to make ends meet, coupled with the constant attrition brought by the war...... God knows how long they can hold out?

Such a powerful empire, which has stood for billions of years, is still in the sky, but because of the appearance of this man, it is gradually on the verge of collapse.

How could she not feel proud and proud to be with such a powerful man?

Several important ministers of the empire, when they saw the emperor who was high above, their eyes were about to drip honey, and they knew that the next thing was dry firewood.

Obviously, this group of old foxes who have lived for millions of years still have this basic eyesight, and they don't want to be a light bulb to annoy people.

"Emperor, if there is nothing to do, the inferior people will retire first." The old guys said goodbye and left.

"Well, go ahead."

Peony said plainly, but there was a fire burning in her heart: Qin Yan was not idle at all after the wedding, and there was that incident on the wedding day, and then Qin Yan began to form the 'shadow' organization in person, but the two newlyweds Yan'er did not have a chance to get along together.

Now that his affairs have finally come to an end, shouldn't he make up for the loss of his honeymoon?

"Oh no!"

Just when Marshal Nelson and the others were about to say goodbye and leave, Qin Yan and Peony were secretly flattering, seeing that the dry wood was about to ignite, Hunter ran over with an anxious face.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and several high-ranking members of the empire also stopped, preparing to leave.

"There are dozens of teams responsible for attacking the financial district, which have been attacked by organizations outside the Hidden Yuan Empire and have suffered heavy losses...... Several of them were almost wiped out! ”

"What?!"

Peony was shocked, then looked at Qin Yan in surprise, and shouted, "Husband, you...... You wouldn't even think of that, would you? ”
