The town of Yushan was originally a small town. The arrival of a team of more than 140 people www.biquge.info suddenly made this originally deserted town lively. Looking west from the town, a large gray area is the famous Mt. Yu.

I summoned the local tax officer and asked about the local tax situation.

"General Qiyu, Yushan was originally taxed on a per capita basis. Each hunter who enters the mountain is levied 500 gold coins. The total amount of taxes collected is very small. After General Gao Luan came, he raised the tax to 1,000 gold coins, which did not expect to cause strong dissatisfaction among the hunters. ”

"It turns out that hunting in the mountains is extremely risky. The rare treasures produced in the mountains are either grown on the body of fierce beasts, or they are guarded by fierce beasts. Many hunters not only found nothing, but were also killed or wounded in battles with wild beasts. They can't accept a raised poll tax. ”

Later, General Gao Luan ordered that the prey be taxed instead. But this time there is less tax. Because most hunters come empty-handed and go away empty-handed. Some were wounded, and some simply left their lives in the mountains. Naturally, they don't have to pay taxes. And those who have gained a lot have strong strength. They are even more reluctant to pay taxes. Hiding prey, tax evasion, and customs clearance often occur. It gave General Gao Luan a very headache. After General Gao Luan left, there was no one to pay taxes at all. ”

The tax collector seemed to be reasonable. But I'm not interested in that. "So what do you live on?" I asked the tax collector.

The tax collector was stunned. In the game, these AI "civil servants", as well as officers and soldiers, are paid on a daily basis. These expenses need to be borne by the lord of the main city, but they are also paid from taxes. I haven't heard of a place where I can't make ends meet. The same must be true of the mountain.

Most of the castle lords entrusted the collection of taxes to the local tax collectors, and did not ask for details at all. The income will come in a steady stream.

You may have questions. Are these AIs loyal to their duties, or are they corrupt? Let me tell you this, according to the setting of the game, he will have all the problems that people have. When I was on long-distance trafficking in the mainland, I had dealings with tax officials in many places. I haven't seen a tax officer who doesn't take bribes.

For game companies, such a setting increases the fun and attractiveness of the game, and it is also equivalent to a disguised profit. It's a win-win for both the gaming company and the players. In fact, it is the profits of the city lord that are squeezed in the middle.

As the lord of the castle, although he can guarantee taxes by strictly checking the tax collectors. But I don't know of anyone doing that. After all, it's not so easy to offend at both ends.

"We're few people after all." "By taxing farmers and merchants, we can barely feed a few of us." ”

"But you're not going to have a few people to support right now. Rather, an army of almost one hundred and fifty people. And not only that, but we also have to guarantee that we hand over Yilin's share. ”

"But, my lord, ......"

"Now tell me who you are talking about as tyrannical forces."

"The spirit stone beast bones produced in Yushan are famous far and wide. There are powerful people from all over the continent who come here, and there are countless of them. ”

"You just tell me about the forces that are entrenched in the local area."

"The biggest force in the area of Yushan is the four Scorpio brothers."

"The four Scorpio brothers?" I remember seeing a shop with the Scorpion Brothers as the name before, and it was indeed selling the specialty of Yushan. "Does this Scorpion brother often come to the mountain to hunt?"

"The Scorpio brothers never enter the mountain, and they don't even live in the town. They were only on the outskirts of the mountain, guarding the way they had to go, and forcibly bought the hunters' gains. ”

"And then there are the Haw Par brothers and the Feng Di brothers and sisters."

"Brother Haw Par?" The reason why I am sensitive to the word "tiger and leopard" is because the words "dragon, tiger and leopard" are the names I am willing to give to my samurai. And each has been used more than once. I used to have five Ah Long, two Ah Hu, and six Ah Leopard. After the first battle in Tuka Forest, I stopped using the name Ahhu. After meeting Canglong, I abandoned the name Aaron again. Now only the name A Leopard is still in use.

"Yes, the Green Tiger and the Blue Panther." The tax collector went on to say, "They charge hunters specifically for protection. Someone had seen them a few days ago, and they might still be in the mountains at this time. ”

"Good!" I called the herald, "Give me orders." From now on, the blockade of Yushan Mountain. No one is allowed to enter the mountain without the permission of the general. The people in the mountain should go out of the mountain as soon as possible, and the prey they carry must pay taxes according to the regulations. Violators will be prosecuted. ”

I asked the four brothers Canglong and Feiying to bring their warriors and officials to guard the various intersections of Yushan. Qingyuan and I took Ke'er and three high-ranking warriors, Ah Bao, Ah Zhong, and Ah Yi, into the mountain. Kerr's combat power level has reached level thirty-nine, and he needs to find a chance to fight to be promoted to intermediate swordsman. As for myself, I have already been promoted to the intermediate swordsman by virtue of their contributions.

Entering the mountain, we soon went deep into a dense forest with thick shade. Contrary to what I expected, there were no wild beasts everywhere, but a feeling of devastation. Everywhere there were felled branches, and the ground was littered with excavated marks. Occasionally, there were small beasts that fled like frightened birds before we could get close.

"Lord, how can this be?" Kerr asked. Since I became the general of Yushan, Qingyuan and they began to teach Ke'er to change his name to my lord.

"It's a far worse place than the Black Forest in Shuofang." I say.

Qingyuan looked at me, "Looks like we have to build a nature reserve here." ”

With the decoded map, we can clearly determine where we are. It is still in the outer area of the mountain.

"Don't relax, be vigilant." The mountain is divided into the outer area, the middle area and the core area. The periphery is just a few small beasts with little attack power. The real threats are concentrated in the depths of the mountain.

We continue to go deep into the middle area of the mountain. Gradually, it started to feel a bit of a primeval jungle. The road is also becoming more and more difficult to walk (in fact, there is no road at all). However, there were a few samurai in front of us, and it didn't affect our speed as we went deeper.

"Lord!" A leopard shouted from the front.

We hurried along. In front of him was the corpse of a samurai lying on the ground. The flesh had collapsed, revealing white bones in most places. There were also large blackened blood stains on the ground. "Looks like there was a fierce battle here three hours ago." Qingyuan said.

Unlike other games, the killed character will disappear immediately. Of course, it's not like in the real world where you have to wait for the corpse to decompose. In Domination of the World, both the main body and the AI character are killed, and the flesh disappears within four hours, and the bones disappear within six hours. Within eight hours, the character's clothing armor will disappear if no one has possessed it (this does not include the treasures and top-of-the-line equipment, of course). Therefore, according to the condition of the corpse, the time of death can be roughly determined.

"Can you tell who he is and what rank he is?"

"No, it's been too long to die."

"Look, lord!" Kerr shouted.

A little more open in front of me, the corpse of a beast lay across the ground. It is about four meters long. "The time of death is about the same as that of the samurai." Strikingly, there are three distinct sawn marks on the forehead of the torso.

"This is the Triceratops." Qingyuan said, "It seems that these three horns have harmed it." ”

"Did that samurai die while fighting it?"

"Well, it's hard to say."
