Chapter 185: New Taxes
The appearance of the head of the Chen family made the hall commotion, and just now those martial arts heroes who were all calm and composed, all of them were full of smiles, and they stood up to greet each other, as if they were the two of them just now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The head of the Chen family hugged his fist without humility or arrogance, nodded, and thanked him, and then sat down in the middle of the hall, and everyone stood and waited until the head of the Chen family waved his hand, and then sat back in his place.
Jin Ya was the first to stand up, clasped his fists and saluted, "I came here today and disturbed the Chen Sect Master, I hope you will forgive me." ”
It's not a loss to be a businessman, don't look at this golden cliff that looks big and three thick, and it's still good to listen to when you talk.
The head of the Chen family nodded slightly, "I just told the disciples something in the backyard, and I made you wait for a long time." ”
Jin Ya sighed and admired, "Our Chen Sect Master has great ability, and he also personally teaches his disciples martial arts, which is really rare!" Rare! ”
The head of the Chen family smiled faintly, "It's not martial arts, I'm just teaching them to paint." ”
When Jin Ya heard this, he was speechless, hesitated for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence, "Good, good, it's good to paint." ”
Looking at Jin Ya's ridiculous appearance that was extremely embarrassing, Liu He couldn't laugh at all.
This head of the Chen family really doesn't give face to these people on the rivers and lakes, if it is because it is because of teaching disciples martial arts to make them wait here for so long It is extremely rude, and now he bluntly tells everyone that it is not to teach martial arts, but just painting.
The thing that these martial arts practitioners don't look down on the most is those things of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they refuse to show up because of these, is it possible that these thirty-six gangs and seventy-two factions together are not as good as a broken painting?
Jin Ya is not a person who has seen a big scene, although the scene is embarrassing, he quickly adjusted his mood again, and said with a smile: "We came here today for two things, the first of these is to ask Master Chen to be the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”
The head of the Chen family nodded noncommittally, picked up the tea bowl at hand, blew lightly, and took a shallow sip, and then slowly put the tea bowl down, "What about the second one?" Let me come out of this, always tell me who my opponent is. ”
Liu He couldn't help but secretly admire when he heard this, this head of the Chen family is simply amazing, he really doesn't leave a trace of affection for these people, what he said can simply choke people to death.
Jin Ya was once again made unable to get off the stage, even if he was the leader of the largest gang in the world, he could no longer say a word at this time.
Seeing this, Elder Zhou on the side shook his head and stood up, "Presumably the Master of the Chen Sect has also heard of it, recently the Son of Heaven issued an edict to increase a miscellaneous tax specially set up for all gangs and sects in the world, the number of which is determined by the number of gangs in each gang and the number of disciples in each sect." ”
Maybe it touched his vital interests, and when he heard Zhou Lao mention the latest new tax, Jin Ya gritted his teeth and said: "Master Chen, you also know that although my money gang claims to be the largest gang in the world, and its business is all over the world, but if it is collected according to this tax, I am afraid that it will not be enough for our money gang to hand over all the family funds." All of you here are the leaders and heads of the major gangs, not only I can't hand it over, but they can't hand it over either. ”
The head of the Chen family looked at the excited Golden Cliff, but still only nodded slightly, "If you can't hand it over, you can't hand it over, so what?" ”
Jin Ya still looked resentful, "If it can't be handed over and it's as simple as disbanding the gang, then we won't bother the Chen Sect Master today, but the holy decree is very clear, and those who fail to pay it within the time limit will be punished according to the protest decree." ”
The Chen family head's expression, which had always been unwavering, finally changed slightly, and he frowned slightly, "Is that really what the Holy Decree said?" ”
Jin Ya replied with great certainty: "Then can it be fake?" My money gang is all over Jiangbei, and almost all states and counties have received the holy decree, and the deadline is only one month. ”
The head of the Chen family nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Jin Ya with cold eyes, "Jin Gang Master, let me ask you, are you really unable to pay it, or are you unwilling to pay it?" ”
When Jin Ya heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and he did not give a reply for a long time.
This sentence can be described as a groundbreaking sentence, although the money gang has a large number of people, but over the years it has accumulated a lot of wealth, even if it is implemented according to this newly promulgated tax law, it will never be to the point of breaking his muscles and bones for him Jinya.
It's just that this person has such thoughts, and he really doesn't want to take out the things that have been put in his pocket.
Liu He quietly observed all the gang leaders and heads present, all of them had the same expressions as Jin Ya, obviously, these people all had the same idea as Jin Ya, and they were reluctant to break the bank.
The head of the Chen family sighed lightly and stood up, "You people, you just don't understand the meaning behind this matter. The edict of the Son of Heaven? I want to ask, over the years, which edict was issued by the Son of Heaven himself? ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was silent, and no one dared to respond again.
The head of the Chen family looked at these impassioned guys just now, and shook his head, "The surname in this world is Liu, but that Xuchang City is surnamed Cao." Cao Cao's purpose in the name of the Son of Heaven is nothing more than two points, if you pay it, he will have a large amount of food. If you don't pay it, you will be guilty of openly rebelling, and he can take this opportunity to eliminate the gangs and sects that do not listen to him. ”
The head of the Chen family walked to the middle of the hall, stood with his hands behind his back, and said sharply: "Could it be that you are only thinking about your little family background, even if you give Cao Cao an excuse to step on the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter?" ”
Everyone was silent, speechless.
Everyone was secretly thinking in their hearts, pondering the words of the head of the Chen family, including Liu He.
Cao Cao's hand is really ruthless, if these gangs and sects pay that money, Cao Cao will have a lot of military expenses for no reason, if you don't pay, it's a big deal to send troops to sweep these gangs one by one, in this way, not only to clear the rivers and lakes that can not be used for their use, those gangs and sects that have been flattened over the years of hard work to save those family funds, will eventually fall into Cao Cao's hands.
For Cao Cao, it is a win-win situation, and for these Jianghu people, no matter how they choose, it is just a matter of which choice will be less wrong.
Elder Zhou got up, walked in front of the head of the Chen family, and bowed respectfully, "What the master of the Chen family said is also what the little old man thinks. As everyone here knows, I have no sect or sect, and I don't have any disciples, so it stands to reason that this holy decree has almost no impact on me. But I'm still here today, with only one purpose, that is, I hope everyone can temporarily put aside their selfish desires, unite with the outside world, and save the whole river and lake from fire and water. ”
