The nine empires have a total of three resource benefits, but now the Hidden Yuan Empire is in a desperate situation.

The situation of the Axis of the Universe is unknown, I only entered it two months ago, and it will take at least ten months to know the specific situation, but in the past few consecutive years, not only the Hidden Yuan Empire, but also several other major empires, have not been able to get even a little bit of resources from the Axis of the Universe.

As a vassal state, it was forcibly requisitioned for three thousand years, and the Qiyun Empire destroyed the imperial capital of others if it did not agree, and even went beyond the level to find the vassal states under the Qiyun Empire, and the Crescent Empire expropriated strategic resources.

All right!

In fact, the Hidden Yuan Empire did not do this, all of this was Qin Yan's conspiracy.

But so what?

No one would think that this was framed by someone else: whether it was going to the fleet of the Crescent Moon Empire or the Qiyun Empire, even if a person could disguise himself as a member of the Hidden Yuan Clan, the battleship could also disguise itself as a warship of the Hidden Yuan Empire, but on the basis of the flawless disguise in both aspects, it also had a real and verifiable identity of the Hidden Yuan Empire - how could this identity be disguised?

It is conceivable that this matter was made public by the extremely angry Qiyun Empire, and in order to avoid becoming the second Qiyun Empire, other vassal countries would definitely break away from the affiliation with the Hidden Yuan Empire.

There are no vassals under his command, so how can there be anything to worship?

In the end, there was only one last one left in the Hidden Yuan Empire, and the way to obtain resources was the huge financial network that spread throughout the empire.

In fact, the resources from the cosmic axis account for a very small proportion of all the benefits, and the real bulk is the offerings and finance.

The top of the Hidden Yuan Empire is not a fool.

They knew very well that the axis of the universe was unpredictable, and that the betrayal of the subject could not be reversed, and now the only thing they could hold on to was finance.

A few years ago.

The Tianquan Empire announced that in the next thousand years, all financial industries will be exempted from taxes, and even if taxes are resumed after a thousand years, the tax rate will definitely not exceed the current one.

This measure has caused many businesses, especially large and medium-sized chambers of commerce, to shift their financial focus to the Tianquan Empire, and the financial industry in the other eight countries has fallen to varying degrees.

Of course, this kind of move by the Heavenly Power Empire cannot make other empires completely businessless, after all, many chambers of commerce have stabilized their business in other countries, and they can still make money even if they collect taxes. Therefore, this method can only allow the major financial organizations to tilt the branches established in the future to a greater extent towards the Tianquan Empire, and the existing money-making businesses can't be directly closed and moved to the Tianquan Empire, right?

This kind of move will naturally have a certain impact on the finances of the eight empires, but it will not cause a fundamentally devastating blow.

But!

The financial gains of the Hidden Yuan Empire, after this move by the Heavenly Power Empire, still fell by more than one percent!

In the case that the financial gains have been damaged, the other two aspects of the income are temporarily cut off, if the financial gains can no longer be maintained, the Hidden Yuan Empire will be completely destroyed!

Of course, the high-level leaders of the Hidden Yuan Empire will not sit idly by, but they know that under such a large-scale attack by the other party, the strength of the Hidden Yuan Empire alone will definitely take care of the head and tail, and it is impossible to take foolproof precautions against all financial districts, and the only way to solve this problem is to borrow strength.

Hunter Organization.

Pirate Regiment.

Even those chambers of commerce.

There are countless of these organizations, and the purpose of their existence is for money, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, and the so-called people die for money, and birds die for food, as long as the Hidden Yuan Empire offers enough prices, there will definitely be those who are bold and not afraid of death, or those who have a fluke mentality, trying to gain benefits in this muddy water.

In order to keep the only financial sector from being destroyed, and in order to kill the enemy as much as possible, the Hidden Yuan Empire transferred a large number of strategic resources from the treasury as a reward.

Anyone who provides effective information to the enemy, or kills the enemy's men, will receive a reward of varying amounts.

There will be danger in the process of piracy and robbery, there will also be danger in the assassination of hunters, and there is also danger in intercepting and killing this organization called 'Shadow', even if it is a dangerous thing, it depends on the degree of danger and the value for money - obviously, the price offered by the Hidden Yuan Empire makes these forces overjoyed.

Of course, the Hidden Yuan Empire did not wait to avoid the first wave of attacks.

Because when they thought of this countermeasure, when it was just announced, the attacks of the 'shadow' organization on various financial districts had already begun, even if some forces planned to muddy the waters, it was already too late in time, but the places that were attacked at the beginning were limited after all, as long as the news came, there would be a large number of forces to pursue and ambush this damn organization in an all-round way.

Just when the high-level leaders of the Hidden Yuan Empire were anxiously waiting for the news from various financial districts, Qin Yan had just returned to the 'Shadow' base.

"Wife?"

Although in advanced civilizations, husbands and wives have their own titles, but the way they are called on the earth will make Qin Yan have that kind of intimate feeling: as soon as he returned to the base, he saw Peony and several commanders-in-chief, and Peony's face was a little strange.

The relationship between the nine empires is not very good, especially the adjoining of the Hidden Yuan Empire and the Heavenly Power Empire, relatively speaking, there will be more conflicts.

In this case, the Hidden Yuan Empire has been hit hard in a row, shouldn't she be very happy?

"Do you still have a wife like me in your heart?" Peony asked with a calm face.

"Absolutely!" Qin Yan did not hesitate.

"You ......"

Peony was a little angry in her heart, and when she heard his answer so sure, she couldn't be angry with him - she couldn't do anything about this man.

"The emperor doesn't need to be angry, in fact, this is not a big deal."

Commander-in-Chief Nelson smiled, and turned to Qin Yan and said, "We came here on this trip, first, the emperor wants to personally visit these warriors who have dealt a huge blow to the Hidden Yuan Empire. This is the second...... Just to tell you, if something like this happens to the Qiyun Empire in the future, you'd better tell the emperor first. ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Yan was stunned, and said, "The matter of the Qiyun Empire? What do you want to do with this? ”

Finding that his face was full of astonishment, Peony thought that he didn't expect it, and since he didn't expect it, she couldn't blame him, so she immediately said: "Do you know that the Qiyun Empire, with many vassal countries below them, collectively took refuge under the Yuheng Empire?" ”

"I heard." Qin Yan nodded.

"If you tell me before you act, we can show goodwill to the Qiyun Empire in advance, and when you launch an attack, they will definitely consider joining my Heavenly Power Empire as soon as possible - it is a ninth-level high-level civilization, and there are also a large number of other level vassal states!"

The Nine Empires divide the entire high-level civilization into nine sectors that spread outward from the core, and in each sector, the nine empires are at the core, and the larger the fan coverage area is, and within this sector area, there are a large number of vassal states from high to low.

For example, this kind of competition between the nine empires for each other's vassal states usually only happens between empires with adjacent territories.

Because only between neighboring empires, after the other party's subject country has switched to it, will the territory be connected with the territory of other subject states of their own.

The Hidden Yuan Empire is bordered on both sides by the two major empires of Tianquan and Yuheng, and when the Qiyun Empire chooses to take refuge, it can only make the only choice between these two countries.

In the end, they chose the Yuheng Empire, and it is conceivable why Peony was angry.

If Qin Yangao told her the target of the attack, and the Tianquan Empire made some preparations, I am afraid that the country that the Qiyun Empire had taken refuge in would change.

A ninth-level high-level civilization, plus a large number of ninth-level middle level up to the fourth and fifth levels under its jurisdiction, the total number of countries of incredible size and size, such a huge force to join, is enough to make Peony blush.

The point is, all this was done by her husband, but it turned out to be cheaper than other countries, so it's no wonder that she can feel comfortable.

"You're not mad at that, are you?" Qin Yan looked surprised with a look on his face.

"Isn't that worth being angry about?"

Seeing that he actually put on a posture of 'you shouldn't be angry about this kind of thing', the anger that Peony had originally calmed down suddenly rose.

"Actually...... You really shouldn't be angry. Qin Yan laughed.

"Reason!" Peony had a cold face.

Although she loves the man in front of her deeply, she also loves her country and race deeply, not to mention that she is the emperor of the Heavenly Power Empire, and she must be responsible for the empire, responsible for her position, and must consider the interests of the empire.

"Two reasons."

Qin Yan understood her position, so he understood her reason for being angry, so he patiently explained: "The vassal country has only one meaning to us, that is, it will provide resources to the suzerain, and there is no need to think about other aspects, if there is a war between the nine empires, can we still count on the vassal country to help us?" ”

Of course, it is impossible for the subject country to help the suzerainty fight with other countries, after all, the subject country gives worship to the suzerainty every year, and the suzerainty provides security protection to the subject country, which is a simple transaction: it is like the underworld levying protection fees on merchants, and the underworld has to come forward to solve the trouble of the underworld.

"It's really impossible for a subject to bring combat aid, but there will be an offering every year, right?" Peony was still displeased.

"Those are the two reasons I want to say."

Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Qin Yan said indifferently: "First of all, the Qiyun Empire's offering is nothing at all, their thousand-year offering is not comparable to the output of the core of the Axis of the Universe in one year; Secondly, there is another key problem, if you make a move before I act, once you are noticed by someone who cares, it is easy to associate the 'shadow' with the Heavenly Power Empire - the reason why I can dominate everywhere now is that although there are also scientific and technological reasons, but in the final analysis, it is because the whereabouts of the 'shadow' are erratic. ”

He can attack the financial district of the Hidden Yuan Empire, he can attack the vassal countries under the jurisdiction of the other party in the name of the Hidden Yuan Empire, he can pat his ass and leave after the fight, and he is not worried about the other party's retaliation at all, isn't it because the aspect he is attacking is that the other party can't fight back in the same way?
