For players, Li Tang doesn't mind maliciously speculating on them, so they must be wary of them, and it is definitely impossible for them to enter Li Tang's management. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Li Tang's understanding of players, it is basically impossible for them to take the initiative to join Li Tang's territory, because ordinary players, for all lord players, are fragrant and sweet, even if they are elderly players, they are all treasures for lords, at least it is okay to make up the number of people, if they can enter the city, it would be better to do some work, because, as long as there are trading lords, they can collect taxes.

As for how to distinguish between players and natives, it is really difficult to distinguish between them before they join the territory. However, once they join the territory, as soon as they check their loyalty, they will immediately know which players are and which are natives, because the natives can see their loyalty, and the players can't see it.

As soon as the city of starting point was established, it was discovered by players wandering around. They soon discovered that the prices of many of the items sold in the starting point city were far lower than those in Jingzhou City. Moreover, there are many things that are not available in Jingzhou City.

For example, all kinds of weapons, equipment, armor, etc. sold in the city, although they are rarely sold in batches, but the price is very cheap, and there are some excellent equipment in these equipment, which makes many people love it.

The city also sells all kinds of furs and exquisite leather clothes, which are also far lower than the prices in Jingzhou City. In addition, there is a small masterpiece called the tiger skin. while

However, there are also deer breasts, ginseng, herbs, pearls, coral, silk, tiger whips, seafood, silk, etc., and the prices of these things are much lower than the prices in Jingzhou City.

Therefore, after the first player discovered this city, he naturally purchased it in large quantities in the city, and then sold it to Jingzhou City to make a small profit.

Then, more and more people found it, and naturally more and more people came here to purchase items. Moreover, there is also a need for some consumables in this city, so everyone will bring some goods here to sell.

Because, the tax rate for buying and selling here is low, while the tax rate in Jingzhou City is high. Therefore, everyone would rather travel more and come here to trade, save the transaction tax, and then purchase some goods and take them to other cities for trading after going down the mountain.

After coming and going, the starting point gradually prospered.

In fact, it is not unreasonable to talk about the prosperity of this starting point city. First of all, the tax rate of this starting point city is low, but it is only 1%, which is difficult for other cities to achieve.

Other cities have not thought of adopting a low-tax strategy to attract commercial development. However, in this way, commerce in the city did prosper. However, the profit has become less, and at the same time, the commercial tax to be handed over to the superiors is not less.

Such a city can only be a loss and make money. For a while, it can still be maintained, but if you want to maintain it for a longer time, you can only reduce expenses.

And a city, not to mention the cost of construction, is the cost of external defense, the cost of internal security, are very huge. If the city could not defend itself against foreign enemies, no merchant would dare to set up shop here. If the internal security of the city is in a mess, and there is no good security in the city, thieves and gangsters will run rampant in the city, which is also not conducive to commercial development!

And this starting point city, there is no need to raise soldiers or officials, so the burden of the city is not heavy. A small amount of tax can actually support the operation of the starting city.

Although Li Tang invested so much in the starting point city, regardless of the cost, he didn't think at all that the main purpose of recovering the cost through taxation and establishing the city was to sell the output of Linhai City. That's why I dare to do this.

And ordinary cities, they can't do this at all, they need to build, they need to raise soldiers, they need to provide various benefits to attract people from all over the world to naturalize, and naturally they will not choose such a low tax rate. If you choose such a tax rate, it is destined to not last long, and the starting point city, as the window of Linhai City in the mainland, is supported by the entire Linhai City behind it, so it is naturally not afraid of making ends meet.

Moreover, the starting point city is next to Jingzhou City, and there are many people in Jingzhou City, so they come to the starting point city to shop, and the starting point city can't prosper if they don't want to.

The most important thing is that it is not far from the center of Jingzhou City, a total of only ten miles away, very close, an hour to arrive, if it is a carriage, it will be faster, than to go to other places in Jingzhou City. Moreover, it is on the mountain, the scenery is pleasant, you can come here to enjoy both shopping and scenery, and it is not too tiring and cheap, so why not do it?

Therefore, on the road from the starting point to Jingzhou City, there are bustling crowds and traffic all day long, and Li Tang is even ready to plan and expand another road to divert these people.

Here, Li Tang's strategy of bribing Xu Xuan has not yet worked, but on the city side, there have been many accidents.

Previously, many players went to the county office, pulling the huge tiger skin, and asked to visit the city lord of the starting point. However, Li Tang didn't pay attention to it, just avoided it, sent his follower Ye Li, and sent him away.

Li Tang has a natural fear of dealing with players. It is estimated that it is because Li Tang does not have a high status in real society, and dealing with players will make Li Tang put himself in the position of a small person to communicate with other players.

Or Li Tang is worried that his identity will be revealed, that he will be in danger in reality, or that his family will be threatened.

However, the people who came today were different, they were so big, so big that even Ye Li didn't dare to send them away easily.

It turned out that these people who came were known as the most prominent figures in the entire Jingzhou and representatives of several major player gangs.

They are Ma Beichun, the altar master of the Crazy World Gang, Lu Guan, the Venerable of the Hades Temple, Huang Rong, the vice president of the Jingchu Paradise Guild, Zhang Rui, the fourth master of Juxian Village, and Xia Hong, the incense master of the Kyushu League. Although several people have high and low status in the gang, they all come on behalf of their own gangs.

Li Tang was not easy to offend, so he had to make amends while welcoming several people to the living room.

"All of you have worked tirelessly to come to the small town, and the small town is full of splendor, and the contemptible people also feel very honored. A few people are please! Ye Lin came over and hurriedly prepared for tea! ”

The person who came was a guest, and Li Tang naturally greeted everyone into the door with great hospitality.

"Hmph, little city lord, what a big shelf."

A middle-aged man led by everyone, in his thirties, with a shriveled figure, medium height, like a bamboo pole, sharp-beaked monkey gills, roe deer, hanging eyes and tails, shriveled eye bags, tight skin, thin lips and teeth, small pointed chin, and no flesh on both cheeks. One look at this face shows that this person is cunning, selfish and vicious, and a person with a small temperament.

As soon as Li Tang heard this, he was scathing, but the others next to him didn't seem to hear it, so he estimated that these people should have come to trouble him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for such a superb product to take the lead.

Although Li Tang was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that these people probably wanted to provoke themselves and expose their bottom lines, and then they came to play a round.

Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Li Tang's slightly cloudy face, and said:

"Look at what this brother said, it makes it difficult for the little brother to be a man! In front of several bosses, where does the younger brother dare to put on a shelf! The younger brother has done something inappropriate, although the bosses are not, the younger brother listens! Come on, come on...... Please take a seat! ”

Saying that, Li Tang resisted the urge to beat the best man in his heart, and pulled him to the upper seat with a smile on his face. A few other people, because Li Tang didn't know their details and status, had no choice but to say haha, please sit down.

It turns out that this superb product is Ma Beichun, the altar master of the Crazy World Gang.

Subdivided, according to the status of everyone in the gang, this superb is just an altar master, and he should be the lowest among everyone. Now he is the boss and sits in the upper seat. It is estimated that others are deliberately so humble.

Of course, it is said that this Crazy World Gang is the No. 1 gang in Jingzhou, so the No. 1 gang will send a small role to show his detachment, so that the representative of the No. 1 gang is understandable in the first place.

But Li Tang didn't know the depth, and he didn't dare to be at the top, so he could only sit at the bottom.

A few people gave in and finished sitting. However, the master of the altar, Ma Jiechun, always sat in the first place, leaning on his body, holding his hand on the armrest of the Taishi chair, constantly stroking his fluffy chin, the crossed legs of Erlang, and shaking unscrupulously, the wide Taishi chair exposed most of the back of the chair.

"Said that you kid has a big shelf, and you still pretend to be confused for Lao Tzu. This is your own city, and you are still wearing full armor and a hooded helmet, are you ugly and unsightly, or do you disdain to meet us? ”

At this time, Li Tang suddenly realized that several people said that they had a big shelf, but this is the reason!

In fact, in order to prevent others from seeing his true face, Li Tang wore a helmet in most cases. It's already a habit, but it's not deliberate.

Of course, if you know that several people are visiting, even if you don't have a helmet, you will actually wear it out of caution.

A few bigwigs laughed, how dare the younger brother disdain to meet the bosses? In Jingzhou, you have to rely on a few bosses to take care of it! I wear a helmet as this big brother said, I look ugly, and I am afraid of frightening others, so I am ashamed to take off my mask! Don't laugh at the bosses! ”

Li Tang hit the snake and went up the pole, and he took off his mask without being provoked.

"Humph! Don't flick your tongue in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is fighting the world to know the information, even if you want to hide, you can't hide it. Don't you just want people to see your appearance and find you in reality! Do you think this portrait is yourself? ”

As he spoke, this Ma Zhichun took out a picture scroll from his storage ring and threw it to Li Tang.
