After completely solving the mountain, players and NPCs in the water city all over the week entered the carnival to celebrate the victory. However, a military victory did not mean a financial victory, and the financial situation of the Zhoushui Walled City was still extremely embarrassed, and it was unable to carry out urban construction.

At the celebration banquet held in the Executive Yuan, the great chief Ji Zhi took advantage of the festivities and asked the ministers, nobles, and players to come up with a way to solve the financial problem as soon as possible. and ordered the minister Situ to come out and let him be the first to make a suggestion.

Minister Situ hesitated for a while, and suggested increasing taxes on "cultivated land, handicraft workshops, and commerce". The tax rate has been increased from a low tax of almost 0% to a tax of 5% to expand the source of revenue. The ministers and nobles agreed.

This made the thirty-two Xingma players somewhat unhappy.

Because the number of players is currently 75 times the original NPC population of Zhoushui Walled City, once the taxes on these three aspects are raised, almost all of the players who pay will be players. 75 of the 7 copper coins were handed in by the player, and only 1 was the original NPC minister and nobleman, which is obviously not in the interests of the player.

Ji Zhi was not in a hurry, drank slowly, and waited for them to negotiate a result.

Zhongxing Sima talked and discussed this in a low voice for a while, and Shanhai put forward an opinion: It's okay to pay money and grain taxes, but we have to get some compensation benefits, otherwise it will be too much of a loss. This opinion was immediately agreed by other players.

Everyone's eyes were focused on a few people such as Qin Xiaobai, Blood Killing, Thousands of Miles Without Staying, Becoming a King, and God King, and the player Xing Sima is now basically represented by a few of them. If you want to say something on behalf of the player's voice, a few of them are more appropriate.

Qin Xiaobai, Cheng Wang, Blood Kill, God King, Qianli Buliu and others sat on the adjacent banquet seats, which was convenient for communication at any time.

The God King laughed softly: "The Great Chief is bound to set up this Hongmen banquet today, and he must fill the money and grain warehouse before he will stop." The finances of the Zhoushui tribe must be collected from us. Take it, I have no opinion, the government has no money and cannot carry out all kinds of infrastructure construction. But Brother Shanhai is right. Compensation is a must. In my opinion, I took this opportunity to ask the Great Chief to completely open the Eagle Hand Mining Area and the North Water Spring Herb Plantation, so that players can dig and gather freely. After all, this is the territory of the Yan Kingdom, and with the formal permission of the Great Chief, it is better than digging in private. How are you guys? ”

Everyone praised it.

Bloody killing, thousands of miles did not stay, did not speak, and looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Finally, we began to talk about the division of the Eagle Hand Mining Area and the North Water Spring. In terms of the Eagle Hand mine. They had secretly formed an alliance with Qin Xiaobai, and the three forces joined forces to occupy this mining area. The three of them knew about it, but none of the other players knew. Once the competition for the mining area begins, the three of them need to cooperate tacitly.

The two of them looked at Qin Xiaobai, hoping to reach a tacit cooperation in the exchange of glances.

But Qin Xiaobai's gaze did not reveal any information, and he was silent.

He had reached an alliance agreement with Bloody Kill and Chisato in advance to help them occupy the mining area privately. There is no Great Chief in this alliance agreement.

But then things got a little complicated, and the Great Chief made a deal with him for 300 sets of free copper equipment in exchange for three years of exclusivity and seven years of equal interest in the Eagle Hand mine. To be honest, he didn't expect this to happen, which added a lot of variables.

Things are a bit complicated, and he needs to calculate the interests involved.

Most importantly, both agreements are only verbal. It has not yet been implemented - it could change at any time along the way. Who can guarantee that the Great Chief will not change his mind and hand over the management rights to someone else?

So he was in no hurry to speak.

Seeing that everyone including Qin Xiaobai, Blood Killing, Thousands of Miles Without Staying, and becoming a king did not object, the God King stood up and said to Ji Zhi and the ministers on behalf of the Sima Player: "Great Chief, after I waited for Sima to discuss, I think that the plan proposed by Lord Situ to raise taxes is feasible. However, we propose to add a small add-on to this plan, which is to completely open the Eagle Hand mine and the North Water Spring. Players are officially allowed to gather, cut, and dig on their own, and no taxes are levied. Great Chief, what do the ministers think? ”

The words of the God King are, to some extent, said on behalf of all players. The plan to open the Falconry Mine and Beishui Quan, which is beneficial to the player, is exchanged for the plan to increase the tax, which is beneficial to the Great Chiefs and Ministers, is passed.

It's a deal, a deal of benefits.

If it can be achieved, then everyone will be happy, each takes what they need, hello and me, happy cooperation. If you can't make a deal. Then everything will not go so smoothly, and the ways of players to evade taxes are not ordinary. And players who mine without authorization in mountains that are not their own, once they are caught, they will also be punished, and there are many ways for the big chief to punish people.

NPC ministers and nobles immediately discussed it and felt that these two supporting plans were feasible.

Proposal to increase the number of taxes by three amounts. It's good for them. As for the additional plan proposed by the player, the entire North Ridge was originally a place where the Shan Rong lived, and they did not have any interest there, so it was acceptable for the player to collect, cut down, and excavate. They didn't know the value of the Eagle Hand Mining Area and the North Water Spring, and if they knew how valuable these two places were, they probably wouldn't have agreed so easily.

Situ immediately smiled and said: "The ministers agreed to these two plans, and everyone present today has reached a consensus, and the ministers see that these two plans will definitely increase the financial income of my Zhoushui tribe." ”

Ji Zhi put down the wine cup and said lightly: "No." ”

As soon as these words came out, the players in the entire lobby immediately made the players and nbsp; The Great Chief does not agree to the plan to open the Hawkhand Mine?

Why?

The God-King pondered in his heart.

Qin Xiaobai showed a faint smile. The big chief is reluctant to let the Eagle Hand mining area go, if the Eagle Hand mining area is just let out, there will be no problem with fiscal taxation, but who is going to go to his 3,000 sets of copper equipment? Anyway, he would never give these 3,000 sets of copper equipment for nothing.

Ji Zhi glanced at Qin Xiaobai, and then the ministers and players of the court, and said solemnly: "The land in the lonely territory is all lonely land, how can it be opened at will?" Where is the lonely face? Where is the royal law of my Great Zhou? ”

Situ was secretly anxious. Said: "The big chief is, increase the tax!" ”

Ji Zhi waved his hand, so that Situ didn't have to say any more.

"The Eagle Hand Mine is operated by a person directly assigned by Lone. As for the desolate place of Beishui Spring, if you want to grow herbs, it is beneficial to increase the supply of herbs. There is no tax charged for all activities of collecting and planting herbs here. The rest of Northridge is a lonely fiefdom, which can only be given and cannot be opened at will. ”

The players and ministers were stunned. The Eagle Hand mine was taken directly by the Great Chief himself, only to give up the North Water Spring in exchange. The Great Chief cut the price in half, what is this for?

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. The Sima of the Crowd also immediately came up with a countermeasure -- if you reduce it, I will reduce it, and the tax must be reduced by more than half, from the original 5% to 2% tax. Otherwise, the plan to raise taxes will be resolutely opposed.

Ji Zhi and the ministers were speechless.

The ministers looked at each other almost pleadingly, and their tones were full. I expect this great chief of Ji to give up the Eagle Hand mining area, after all, it is 3% of the land money and grain tax revenue. The loss of such a large amount of income has a great impact on the growth of fiscal money and grain land.

Ji Zhi closed his eyes and ignored it.

Is a 3% tax too much? No matter how much there is, there are not as many as 3,000 sets of copper equipment and 7.5 million copper coins. Unless the price of copper equipment on the market falls sharply, he will not change his mind easily.

"Just do it! From now on, the tax on money and grain for arable land, workshops, and trade will be increased to 2%, and the tax revenue will be increased. At the same time, the North Water Spring was opened, allowing all members of our tribe to freely collect and grow herbs. ”

The players and NPC ministers reluctantly agreed to the decision of the Great Chief.

It's far from over.

The Eagle Hand mine was left to himself by the Great Chief. And it is necessary to appoint a special person to operate the business. That's what players are fighting for. Qin Xiaobai, Blood Killing, Thousands of Miles Without Staying, Becoming a King, and others have not made a move, and they are also continuing to wait for this critical place.

The God King was the first to smile and asked, "I wonder how the Great Chief is going to run the Eagle Hand Mine?" If you are in the field, you are willing to work for the big chief for a long time and run the mining area on your behalf. ”

Ji Zhi smiled and said, "Oh, God King Xing Sima, how many complete sets of bronze armor can your workshop make in a day?" ”

The God King was slightly stunned and glanced at Qin Xiaobai nearby. The daily output is a confidential matter, and it is very troublesome to be known by competitors, and the god king said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "At present, the maximum is about 20 sets." But. If the Great Chieftain needs a local word, it can be increased many times in a short period of time. ”

Ji Zhi said: "Lone's requirements are very simple, and he is absolutely fair, whoever can make 3,000 sets of copper equipment for Lone in the shortest time will be exclusively operated by whom." Who of you can do it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the experts in the lobby were all shocked.

Exclusive Higgiehand Mine?

The players couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

In the eyes of the God King, a dazzling light bloomed in an instant, and the opportunity to turn over after waiting for a long time finally came. As long as you can seize this precious opportunity. It can completely reverse the situation of passive control by others during this period of time.

Shanhai was a little excited, his hands trembled slightly, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine, he didn't know what the taste was in his mouth, just to hide the upheaval in his heart.

Above. Still not on? Once the mouth is opened. Out of this card, I am afraid there is no room for maneuver between him and Xiaobai. Whether he wins or not. is still a white winner, and there is always one person who is completely out. Slow down or wait and see, let's watch the God King and Xiaobai play cards first. This is a bit more certain.
