This is a very simple truth.

In a commercial area with a similar degree of prosperity, merchants will definitely choose lower rents, and the only way for countries to attract merchants to a greater extent is to reduce rents and taxes.

If a country's commercial area has lower rents and taxes, attracting more merchants, other countries will naturally respond.

What to deal with?

The only way to do this is to lower rents and taxes, which leads to the most common problem in the financial sector – competition.

If you lower my rents and taxes, then I will lower them, and the final result will be cheaper for merchants, and at the same time, the income of various countries in the financial field will definitely be less and less year by year.

In fact, only the Heavenly Power Empire is facing the problem of declining financial returns?

This is not just the case with the Nine Empires, almost all countries face the same problems, but no one can think of a suitable solution.

"If it goes down like this, there will be no rent tax, and the venue will be given directly to those damn merchants, and there will be no tax collection!"

Peony's mood is extremely bad, as the king of a country, she naturally has to consider the interests of the empire, and the income is decreasing year by year, of course she is worried.

"That's a good idea." Laughter came from outside.

"Nonsense!"

When she heard the voice, she knew who it was, and she was happy and surprised to see that the man she loved was back, and it was not the expected one year later, but now was the time to discuss national affairs, how could she be a child's play as an emperor?

Qin Yan walked in with a smile and said, "Emperor, I'm not talking nonsense. If you think about it, if we completely abolish rent, and exempt from taxes, and even make a commitment to free time, those large chambers of commerce will definitely put more resources in the business circle of our Tianquan Empire. It won't be long before the prosperity of the country's financial sector will increase exponentially, and what will happen in another ten or twenty years? ”

"And then?" Peony asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Free is the best advertising, when the empire's economic system will flourish, and once the market stabilizes, people will form a habit."

Qin Yan's face was full of confidence, and he continued: "Just imagine, those chambers of commerce have tilted their resources to this side and formed a stable market, and when the time we promised is up, they can't easily withdraw - because the fixed market can't be taken away. ”

Hearing his explanation, several imperial cabinets fell into thought: in the past, they would not have thought about Qin Yan's words, but after a series of things, Qin Yan's ability has been proven, and this ability is not only manifested in combat power, but also in unimaginable wisdom.

"There's some truth to that."

Commander Nelson pondered for a moment and said to Peony: "Emperor, I don't think this method is necessarily impossible. ”

Peony thought for a while and said: "Although it makes sense, there is a question that you have not thought about - first of all, Qin Yan said that he promised to exempt rent and taxes for a certain period of time, but if this period is too short, those merchants will definitely have ideas, they are worried that the market that has been established by pouring resources will not be able to withdraw when the free period is up, and we are likely to take the opportunity to increase rents and taxes, and we will lose even more at that time." ”

"It's easy to do, we can promise a longer free period, and then promise that even if the free period ends, the rent and taxes charged will be lower than now." Qin Yan said with a smile.

"And what do we earn?"

"We don't have to make a lot of money, then the other eight countries will be much worse financially than we are - we don't have to compare with the current income, but with the other eight empires, as long as we earn more than them."

"Are you sure you're going to make more than them? Do you know how much we have to lose in the early free stage? ”

"Then make up for it."

"How do you make it up?"

"I'll make it up."

Qin Yan showed a smile, took out a space box and handed it over: "Are these enough?" There is no password, just open it. ”

Peony was not stunned, but when she took the space box, she was stunned, because this space box was not from the Tianquan Empire, when she opened the space box, her face became even more surprised, just because the capacity in this space box was two or three times larger than the best space box made by the Tianquan Empire.

"This space box ...... Where did you get that? Peony was taken aback.

"9 Degree Danger Zone."

"You mean ......"

This sentence aroused everyone's anger, and Commander Hades said urgently: "What is going on in the 9-degree danger zone?" That's right! Why did you come back so early? Didn't you get anything good? ”

Qin Yan smiled and said to Peony: "The emperor should take a look at the contents of the space box first, and then talk about the 9-degree danger zone." ”

There are no resources in the space box, but there are hundreds of millions of space boxes with different shapes.

Soon, Peony took out a space box from it, because she didn't set a password, she directly turned on the storage option, and then her face was obviously stunned, and then quickly took out the second space box, and then her speed became faster and faster, and she took out dozens of space boxes one after another.

Smack......

Her hand slipped because of trembling, and the space box fell to the ground and rolled around a few times on the spot, but she didn't pay attention to these, but looked at Qin Yan with shocked eyes.

"The space box in here...... It's all ...... How many are there, exactly? Her voice trembled, and she could even say the whole sentence clearly.

"I did a rough calculation on the way, and I only counted the number of some leyline source spirits, so don't ......"

Qin Yan thought for a while and said, "There are probably more than 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000......,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 It's too much, and I don't count it much. ”

Thump!

The marshal in charge of the Empire's finances didn't sit still and almost rolled off his chair, because just now only Peony saw the contents of the space box, and the others didn't know what she saw.

More than 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

Let's put it this way, the Heavenly Power Empire's income in the financial field, the enshrinement of the vassal countries, etc., all adds up, and the annual income is about one trillion units of the leyline source spirit. However, it is impossible for all of these to be filled into the treasury, and the empire is constantly cultivating armies and high-level warriors, so only a very small part of them are included in the treasury and sealed.

The earthly vein source spirits sealed in the treasury of the entire Heavenly Power Empire are at most tens of trillions of units, and the astronomical amount that Qin Yan said is more than 6,000 times the total storage capacity of the imperial treasury!

"How is this possible...... No way...... It is absolutely impossible to ......" Nielsen Commander-in-Chief reddened his eyes.

"Nelson, if you hit me, I must be dreaming!" Commander Hades said.

Oh!

Nelson squeezed him the arm, and Commander Hades let out a terrible scream, but he was preoccupied with revenge and stared at the space box with a demented face.

It's true?

"Qin Yan, you...... Where did you get all these resources? Hades snapped.

"This is equivalent to the entire income of the empire for more than 200,000 years, and it is not enough to run away from all kinds of consumption......" Peony was stunned.

Although it is said that the annual income of the empire is about one trillion units of leyline source spirits, there will always be soldiers sacrificed in the empire, it is only a matter of how much. In addition, even if it is a Heavenly Martial Nine Heavenly Powerhouse, it is impossible to be immortal and immortal, and the death of a person is also equivalent to the loss of the earth's vein source spirit.

Removing these annual earnings will definitely be greatly reduced.

"9 Degree Danger Zone." Qin Yan smiled.

"Impossible!"

Nelson shook his head again and again and said: "Even if there are material eruptions in the 9-degree danger zone all the time, it is far from possible that there are so many ...... Not even one in 10,000! ”

"The truth is, I didn't collect even a second." Qin Yan said with a smile.

"This ......"

"It was given to me by someone else."

Speaking of this, Qin Yan took out another space box and handed it to Peony: "By the way, there are still these things." ”

Mechanically opening the space box, Peony originally thought that she was stunned, and her thinking would not fluctuate again, but she was soon stunned again.

This is not true!

How can this be true?

What is the purpose of the Nine Empires entering the Axis of the Universe? Do you have access to all kinds of valuable resources?

No!

Obtaining resources is only incidental, and the most important purpose is to find high-tech products from another universe with stronger scientific and technological power, and try to develop more powerful technology through those finished products, so improving science and technology is the biggest purpose.

Over the years, countries have indeed gained a lot of inspiration from the axis of the universe, and have used it to help their own science and technology, but it is a pity......

I don't know what the reason is, the vast majority of the high-tech products obtained by various countries are not of high scientific and technological content, and what they really obtained from the axis of the universe has played a role in improving their own science and technology is still a long time ago and countless years ago - to put it bluntly, with the advancement of the science and technology of the nine empires to the present stage, there is almost no way to get something useful for the improvement of science and technology from the axis of the universe.

Why?

No one knew, and Qin Yan didn't know it before, but with this experience, Qin Yan vaguely guessed the clue.

Take the universe he is in, the nine empires closest to the axis of the universe are the countries with the strongest technology in the entire universe.

The distribution of material eruptions inside the axis of the universe corresponds to the pattern of the entire universe to a certain extent: the top empires closest to the axis of the universe of this universe were erupted into the axis of the universe of another universe when the universe was destroyed, and the regions where these countries are located are ejected from the core area of the axis of the universe in the other universe.

And so on.

The more you are in the core of this universe, the closer it is to the axis of the universe.

So......

Many years ago, when the scientific and technological strength of the Nine Great Empires was still very weak, even if it was found in the 1st degree danger zone, the scientific and technological products corresponding to the low-level civilization of another universe still contained extremely high technology for the Nine Empires, and the Nine Empires could go up to the 8th degree danger zone at most.
