Therefore, for these cluttered caravans, Zhang Zhongjun is all about as long as you are willing to pay taxes and fees, and he is too lazy to care about your attitude. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThat's right, Zhang Zhongjun is eligible to collect taxes and fees from these caravans, and Bali Pavilion is now a noble domain and no longer a direct imperial domain.

After the caravans of the empire had paid a tax in the direct domain of the empire, they had to pay another tax if they passed through the private domain of the nobles. At the beginning, there was also a conflict between the emerging Qian Jue and the real power aristocracy caused by the vigorous development of commerce and trade in the empire, which was also one of the reasons why the Zong Court tried to find trouble for Qian Jue while not stopping the appearance of Qian Jue.

Therefore, many caravans are willing to take a detour rather than pass through the direct territories of the nobles, and because many noble territories at important passes have been recovered by the empire one after another, so that the caravans only need to pay taxes and fees once to pass through the entire territory of the empire, and the battle between the court and the Qian Jue is not as fierce as before.

However, it can be believed that after knowing that Baliting was canonized by the empire and became a noble lord, I am afraid that all the caravans are scolding their mothers.

You must know that in the past, the tariffs for leaving Baliting were all levied by the empire, that is, if the caravan had paid taxes and fees elsewhere in the empire before, as long as there was a voucher, they could go abroad for free. But after the Bali Pavilion became a private territory, he had to pay a fee, and he couldn't hide from it! Because the Bali Pavilion just blocked the exit from the west of the empire! If you want to go to the west, as long as you take the land route, then you must pass through the Bali Pavilion!

At the beginning, Zhang Zhongjun took great pains to reduce the concerns of those caravans and encourage them to go to Bali Pavilion more! In the past, although Bali Pavilion was the direct leader of the empire and only charged a fee once in the country, just kidding, Bali Pavilion at that time was full of sand thieves, and I don't know how big the risk of being robbed was!

That is, Zhang Zhongjun led his subordinates to work hard to unify Bali Pavilion and eliminate sand thieves, so that this Bali Pavilion really grew into a safe transit station. Although there was an additional tax charge, it was not much, and the place was safe, and there were escorts to hire them, so that the arrival of the Imperial caravan was re-induced.

Otherwise, Bali Pavilion would have become a bitter cold place in a desert oasis, where would there be prosperity now!

And what made Zhang Zhongjun's face change greatly was the conversation between the shopkeeper of this caravan and a nephew of his:

"Uncle, why is this Bali Pavilion exempt from taxes and fees this time?" asked a young man with a relatively light face very curiously.

The middle-aged man dressed as the shopkeeper on the side, with a weathered face, had a face that could kill flies, and said with a gloating smile: "Because the immortal of the Qingyun Sect controls this Bali Pavilion, naturally there is no need to pay any fees." ”

"The immortal of the Qingyun Sect controls the Bali Pavilion, is it impossible?!How could a legendary immortal sect like the Qingyun Sect get involved in this worldly matter?!, and it is also such a thing as oppressing the nobles of the empire?!" the young man looked shocked and disbelieving.

"Haha, who knows, anyway, your uncle and I led the team last time, but I saw with my own eyes that a few immortals wearing Qingyun Sect costumes were so powerful that they directly beat the army of Bali Pavilion to the ground, and then detained those stewards of Bali Pavilion, and forced them to continue to garrison and manage Bali Pavilion afterwards, and also announced that all taxes and fees would be exempted! Haha, it's fun to think about it, exempt from all taxes and fees, the owner of the Bali Pavilion will definitely cry to death when he knows it!" the shopkeeper laughed proudly.

"Well, the Qingyun Sect's immortal did this, and the empire didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, this is robbing the territory of the nobles of the empire!" the young man said with a shocked face.

"Haha, don't get in the way, the immortals of the Qingyun Sect are very straightforward, they have something to find the lord of the Bali Pavilion, that is, what Baron Zhang Zhongjun, as long as Baron Zhang Zhongjun appears, they will immediately give the Bali Pavilion back to him, and apologize, otherwise this Bali Pavilion is a sect leader under the Qingyun Sect, and always keep all taxes and fees free!"

"So even if the steward of Bali Pavilion escapes and sues the county, the county will definitely directly treat it as no such thing. First of all, this Qingyun Sect is the head of the top ten sects, but it can't be provoked, and besides, people didn't say that they wanted to snatch the territory of Bali Pavilion, they only said that they wanted to find someone, but this method of finding people was not very good-looking. The shopkeeper smiled and touched his beard and said.

"Well, this is looking for someone, how did that baron offend the Qingyun Sect? It's really sad, the hereditary territory was robbed, and the baron didn't rush over? Listening to the tone of the Qingyun Sect's immortals, there are still words of apology coming out, and he doesn't look like an enemy!" the young man asked curiously.

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Hey, it's really strange to say, the caravan passing by has already spread the news with a lively appearance, but the baron has never appeared, and now the Qingyun Sect has occupied the Bali Pavilion for almost a year, and this baron still hasn't appeared, I think it's either that I dare not meet the Qingyun Sect, or it's in a remote and remote place, or there has been some accident." After all, if there is no income for a year, the property loss of Baron Zhang Zhongjun must be very heavy! If there was nothing to do, he would have jumped out and recovered the territory a long time ago. ”

Zhang Zhongjun didn't listen to the latter words, he didn't expect that after he left the imperial capital, the people of Qingyun Sect chased him to Bali Pavilion.

Baliting was occupied, and Zhang Zhongjun, who had no income for a year, didn't care at all. What he cared about was whether his sister and Xiao Dezi were caught by Qingyunzong. But if my sister had been caught, they would have left long ago. Now they are still occupying Bali Pavilion, waiting for their return, so they definitely didn't catch their sister.

It should be Xiao Dezi, the righteous brother, who found out about the situation of Qingyun Sect, and directly took his sister and didn't know where to go. With his own righteous brother and senior brother protecting his sister, he can feel more at ease, anyway, as long as he is not arrested by Qingyun Sect, then there should be no danger.

When his sister's safety was stabilized, Zhang Zhongjun had the opportunity to consider the safety of his subordinates. However, listening to the words just now, his subordinates were beaten to the ground, not that they were killed to the point of blood, and they forced their subordinates to continue to manage and garrison Bali Pavilion afterwards, so the loss of his subordinates should not be very large.

In fact, if you think about it, the people who Qingyun Sect can send out to find my sister must be a very powerful existence in the sect, and it is impossible for the heavenly soldiers to be sent, and the worst may be the strength of the heavenly generals. After all, Qingyun Sect is known as the first of the top ten sects in the empire! If the strength of the disciples under the sect does not reach this level, they are embarrassed to send it out, right?
