Returning to the City of the Iron and Burning Sun, before a cup of tea, the Cross Blood Fighter came to the peerless front with the county orders of the thirteen counties and cities of Jingzhou and Hunan.

"Captain; The prefectural order is brought! ”

"Huh? Zero! Don't be so rude! Look at the county order scared. Doubt? This county magistrate actually doesn't know martial arts! I can't even reach the realm of not entering the stream, I'm very strange, how did you become a county magistrate? Pass the imperial examination...... Or did you bribe your boss to buy it? ”

Hear the words of peerless questioning. The county commander hurriedly bowed down and said, "Absolute Martial King Mingjian!" Weichen is upright, and he has been studying hard for ten years. Weichen still has the emperor's golden pen inscription, if you don't believe it...... I'll show you right away. ”

"Eh~~ Okay! Don't get so excited, I see. You go and rest for a while, and I'll talk to you fourteen county commanders later...... Discuss a big deal! ”

"Yes; Wechen retired ......"

An hour later......

In the central control room of the Iron Sun City, a dining table more than ten meters long...... Pointing to the delicacies on the table, "Eat! Why not eat it? Why、Don't give me face, isn't it? ”

The county magistrate of Shaoyang City looked at the steak in the bowl and asked, "King of Absolute Martial Arts, can you take the liberty of asking, what is this~~?"

Peerless glanced at him casually, "Steak." ”

The prefectural magistrate asked again, "What's in the steak?" ”

"Nonsense, beef, of course. Why, I'm afraid I'll poison you. Rest assured, my dignified Martial Domain King would not do such a thing. I ate it with peace of mind. ”

"Oh!" The prefectural magistrate nodded. wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly; But this action is still captured by the sharp-eyed peerless.

"Strange? Are you nervous when everyone eats together? ”

"Nope! I was just...... In short, looking at this city inside and out, it is all lifeless steel. From the bottom of my heart, there will be a sense of oppression. ”

"Oh! I know. In that case, don't eat the rice. Immediately proceed to the round table ......" The peerless general on the red carpet on the table, all the food that has not been eaten is wrapped in it. Handing the red carpet to a Cross Blood Fighter next to him, Peerless wiped the grease stains from his mouth and said, "Teleport out and throw it away; Wherever you throw it! Don't let me see it again......"

"Yes, Captain."

Jeho took out a stack of papers and read it according to the contents: "Round table, start now!" The first step of the conference, exempting civilians from paying taxes, "

After the peerless finished speaking, he looked at the thirteen county commanders with different expressions. "Do you have any objections? Or are they their own views and suggestions? Whatever you want, I'll refer to it. "Look at the silent prefectural orders again, the silence that should be silent, the sweat that should be sweaty. There is no intention to speak......

"Don't you say? Well, I'll say it for you. I know that the taxes of the common people are fundamental to the basic functioning of a county or even an empire. If there were no sources of taxation, the entire empire would ...... It will be paralyzed by the economy, or even the collapse of the empire. But have you ever thought about it? dynasties, why are so many emperors overthrown, and why do commoners rebel; Why did the uprising happen, and the root causes...... It's a word for money! As the saying goes: money is something outside the body. However, how many people in the world may really see through this? No matter how much tax is paid, the common people will eventually be dissatisfied and will eventually revolt. Merely...... The only thing we can do is extend the date. But now; I want to do an experiment. I want to test how much human satisfaction and greed ...... really is."

"But...... The Warrior King. As you said, without the taxes of the common people, the county and city will not be able to function. At that time, it will not only be a matter of the destruction of the county and city, but also may cause riots by criminals, or even burglaries; Murder and arson. At that time, the government will no longer have the strength to organize an army to suppress criminals. Originally, the Shaoyang city and county magistrate who had no martial arts was the first to say.

"Yes! I've thought about this question too...... So! I decided to issue a tax regime. Now I've written it down on this stack of paper, and I hope you'll take a good look at it. After reading it, give me the answer you have decided. ”

Thirteen prefectural magistrates took the paper, and the contents of the paper were as follows......

Implementation Table of Jingzhou Hunan Preliminary Tax Plan

Those with an annual income of less than one tael of gold: exempt from taxes

Those with an annual income of less than 10 taels of gold: 10% tax

Annual income greater than 100 taels of gold: 20% tax

Annual income of more than 1,000 taels of gold: 30% of the tax

Annual income greater than 10,000 taels of gold: 50% tax

Full exemption of land tax; Full exemption from property tax; The mu yield tax is fully exempted; Full exemption of purchase and sale tax; Full exemption of transaction tax; The government protection tax is fully exempted.

"How? How do you feel after reading it? ”

Putting down the paper, the speaker was still the Shaoyang City and County Order, "King Absolute Martial Arts, although this kind of tax has never been implemented before, this is a good tax method!" But the light is on the bright side...... This method has a big drawback. Especially the last two! If they really have such a high annual income...... Perhaps their strength is something that the government does not dare to provoke. After all, the income of the government in recent years; It's not a big deal!! ”

Peerless nodded affirmatively. "I've thought about all of what you've said. Rest assured, I've found a solution. But before I can do that, I need to know more from you. Report to me the number of armed forces in your various counties, now; Immediately; Right away! ”

"Two thousand; Three thousand; Thousand; Thousand; Thousand; 10,000 ......"

After listening to the reports of various county orders, the peerless slapped the table and complained: "Nani? The combined number of armed people in the thirteen counties and cities has not even reached 30,000! If you exclude the 10,000 troops of the Shaoyang City County Order, which has the largest armed force. Isn't it true that you have not even reached 20,000? The armed forces of a state are actually only so little! Are you kidding me? ”

"The Martial King is angry! No way, that's all we have. ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Never mind. "The peerless stared gloomily at the crowd." I'm going to give you a task now...... I don't care how much money you have now, how much tax you have paid, whether it is due to pay the tax or not, in short, if within a month the armed forces of each county and city do not reach 10,000! You guys...... Come to me. This matter is not negotiable. Do you understand? ”

"Understood! Got it! That...... Martial King, can we go now? ”

"Let's go? Hehe, of course not! I'm here for you today, except for this meeting...... I have an important matter for you to discuss! I don't think you have less than 500,000 gold in the warehouse of each of your prefectures! Since there are so many...... I will help you share the burden. Each of the thirteen of you donated 100,000 gold to me. Of course, I won't let you give it for nothing. This month's tax ...... You don't have to leave it to me. ”

Thirteen county magistrates: ".................."

Instructed the Crucifixer to send these thirteen county orders back to the lair, and the peerless looked happily at the amount in the attribute panel: 1.3 million taels of gold! "Hahaha...... With so much money, it should be possible to make an army! Right; Go to Luban now; public defeat and revenge; Giants, they ......"

...... in the equipment manufacturing room

Lu Ban looked strangely at the peerless hippie smiling face. "Martial King! I understand that you want to build an army, but ...... I think the 1.3 million taels of gold are still good for making Trap Beasts! After all, every trap beast has an invincible combat power. ”

Peerless stretched out his index finger at Lu Ban and shook it. “NO; NO; NO！ I understand that the Trap Beast is very strong, but it has a drawback, and that is that it needs to be piloted by people. Once the driver is shot, then the trap beast will become a pile of scrap! The battle legion I want, not this ......"

Taking out a design drawing from the mechanical armor, Jue pointed to the graphic object on it and said, "See?" [Fully automatic unmanned destruction mecha], no need for human manipulation at all, the runes in the central energy button can maintain its strong mobility and energy supply. Moreover; The role of this drone armor in warfare is very similar to that of the Trap Beast. The main mechanisms of mecha can be divided into weapon systems, propulsion systems, motion balance systems, protection systems, communication systems, electrical equipment and other special equipment. This perfect masterpiece is the real warrior I need! Luban, tell me, can you do it? ”

Lu Ban smiled, "Martial King, you underestimate me too much. The preparation of design drawings, as well as the problems of energy and materials, you have already helped me solve them. And what I need to do is to make this thing out of a gourd drawing. It's just that...... Martial King, use runes to act as the energy of mechas. You...... Are you really at ease? After all, we Huaxia don't know anything about those mysterious runes!! ”

"Okay, Luban, I know what you said. I'll consider these things, and I'll hand over this design drawing to you first. Also, I'd like to ask. How much gold do you expect it will take to build one of these devastating mechs? ”

Lu Ban thought for a moment. "I'm not sure about that. Since there is no need to consider the problem of energy and materials, the cost should be between 100~~500 taels of gold. Because, the mecha you made this time is relatively small! The height is only more than three meters, and as for the weight...... That is, about half a ton. So this time, the number of mechs will at least exceed the number of people in a regiment! ”

"Yes! Very good! Here is one million taels of gold, and the number of weapons of the four sects I destroyed, a total of about 10,000. Now I'll give it all to you, and I'll come and check the results in a month. Hopefully you won't let me down then! ”

"Yes! Warrior King ......"

Figure out everything and walk out of the equipment manufacturing room to the walls of the Iron Sun City. "Looks like there's something to be restless again." Looking at the horse thief wandering 10,000 meters outside the city wall, the peerless pouted, "This is your own death, let you go today." In a month's time, I'll use your lair as my test subject for destroying mechs...... Hahahaha......"

At this time, thousands of miles away, it was also on a steel wall. The angel wearing black dragon armor and engraved with runes all over his body stared at the direction of the Iron Sun City with his scarlet eyes that seemed to be able to travel tens of thousands of miles. The killing intent in his eyes had already covered the entire steel city under his feet、、、、
