"Okay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 "Jialan walked to the center, "First of all, if the proposal that General Si said just now is passed, those sects will also be the opposite as the Flame Marquis said. What are we going to do?" Jialan asked, then glancing at General Si and the Flame Marquis.

"At that time, of course, it was repression. Flame Hou said.

"Hmph, to put it mildly, do we have enough military spending? No, now that our annual endowment is only enough to maintain the basic expenses of the army, the reason why I want to tax the sect is to let the empire have more taxes, so that we can do more!" General Si roared.

"That's right!General Si is right!" Jialan said loudly, and then looked at everyone, "Therefore, we can't collect taxes on the sect, we can't deal with the consequences of doing that, and then the taxes of the state can't be paid, and we may not even be able to pay the basic expenses of the army, isn't it more passive." ”

The ministers also kept nodding their heads, although they did not explicitly agree with Jialan, but they also secretly agreed - the empire could not afford to fight a civil war.

"And!" Jialan raised her voice, "Three months ago, General Si also proposed to march into the Demon Domain, and at that time, it was also because there was no extra funds, right?"

"That's right. Hou Tuhou said that this matter was also Jialan asked Hou Tuhou to make a false account, telling how empty the imperial treasury was at that time, which caused the Si family's proposal not to be passed.

"Let me ask more, General Si, why do you want to enter the army without military funds?"

"I, that was also the first provocation of the demons. ”

"That's right, General Si is right, we have a long-standing hatred with the demons, so we can't mess up the empire!" Jia Lan said, "If there is chaos within the empire, then our mortal enemies will come to tear us apart." ”

"Having said so much, the Marquis of Jialan has given some useful advice~" General Si said in a weird manner.

"Don't worry, I was about to say!" Jialan smiled disdainfully, "All of this points to one point, that is, our treasury is empty! But I've been thinking about it just now, the first thing we need to do is to fill the treasury, although we can't collect taxes on the sect, we can tax the shops that belong to the sect, and it is slightly higher than other shops." ”

"Oh~" There were surprised voices in the court.

"That's right, although this is not as rewarding as the tax on the sect, it still increases the tax after all, and then under the heavy tax, these shops will gradually become unprofitable, and eventually they will be forced to sell these shops, and then Zhengbaolou can come forward to take them all. Jialan explained, "In this way, even if those sects have resources in their hands, they have no shops, and they have to sell or exchange, so they can only find Zhengbaolou or other shops, so that we will collect taxes on the sect in disguise." ”

"Well, what Marquis Lan said is right~" Houtu Hou pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although it will take many years to do this, it is very safe." "This matter is good for Zhengbaolou, and it is also good for his Houtuhou, so he naturally has to stand on Jialan's side," not only that, but those minerals that have been mined are just that, but Your Majesty must post a notice that no new minerals will be mined in the future! And the empire can vigorously develop the cultivation and breeding industry, so that the business organization that wanders around the country and the group will pay the empire an objective fee for the goods. In this way, we will pay more and more taxes!" Hou Tuhou continued, adding that this idea had been discussed with Jialan a year ago, but he didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he actually used it, and I have to say that Jialan is very far-sighted, and Houtuhou also has an idea in his heart, could it be that Jialan had already expected the development of things? If so, Jialan would be terrible.

The emperor greatly agreed, and the matter was done as Jialan and Houtuhou said, and the household department immediately went to draft a feasible plan, and discussed it in three days;

This is the end of the court. After the flail returned home, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to the sects he had befriended, such as the Purple Star Palace, the Traceless Palace, the Sword Sect, etc., informing them of the empire's moves, and emphasizing that Jialan had done his best, otherwise when the disaster was so serious, the empire would want to tax the entire sect, and Jialan also told the sect in detail about the consequences of doing so.

For this reason, these sects are still very grateful to Jialan, but they are still dissatisfied with the taxation of the empire;

Therefore, Jialan wants them not to mess up, because taxation is inevitable, if there is turmoil in the sect, the sect will definitely not be the opponent of the empire, but it will not make the empire better, and the outcome of both sides is certain;

But Jialan also gave the solution of the sect, that is, let them give the shop to Yu Rongmu's people to take care of, Jialan promised that seventy percent of the profits would be handed over to the sect, and the remaining thirty percent would be used for the operation of the shop;

The leaders of these sects also gathered. The Purple Star Hall has been controlled by Liu Xinbo, so he is naturally the first person to agree with Jialan's proposal; and then the Traceless Hall also passed Jialan's proposal under the persuasion of the seventh night; Leng Feng didn't have anything to say, there were not many shops in the Sword Sect, so he agreed, and it happened that the people of the Sword Sect were not good at business, so they might be handed over to others to take care of, and seventy percent of the profits were more than all the profits they took care of; The Xuanyan Sect also agreed, the reason is similar to the Sword Sect, of course, there are also Jialan's reasons; after these first-class sects passed, the rest of the sects also had to agree, of course, these sects didn't know that there was Jialan's participation here.

"Haha!" Yu Rong Mu laughed out loud when he had a secret meeting with Jialan, "General Jialan, you are really amazing! We are equivalent to controlling the entire sect power! They only know how to cultivate, how can they understand the importance of resources!"

"Okay~ Don't laugh, hurry up and get things done, how can there be a hundred or two hundred sects in the entire empire, right?"

"There are three hundred and twenty-eight in total, not counting those sects that are too low-level. Yu Rongmu said.

"Very good, when you contact these sects, you must also have a choice, we only accept first-class forces, second-class ones account for seventy percent, third-class ones account for forty percent, and fourth-class sects don't want it. Jialan said, "Let the rest be given to Zhengbao Building, I think Brother Qin will help you analyze it." ”

"I thought of what you thought of. Yu Rongmu said, "I will choose clearly." ”

"Well, thank you. Jialan said.

"All for the family!"

"There's one more thing you'll want your henchmen to do, and that's to find the spiritual veins! I'll send the ShadowClan to help you. ”

"Have big plans again?" Yu Rongmu said.

"There's no big plan, isn't it good for us to find the spirit vein?" After Jialan finished speaking, he used his body technique to leave, and now that he had a new body method, Jialan's cloud-breaking rush was even faster, and Yu Rongmu's kung fu Jialan was gone in the blink of an eye. Jialan's move not only made a contribution in front of the emperor, but also made good friends with the sect, and secretly strengthened the family.

During this period, an interesting thing happened, that is, these people who identified the secret contract with Yu Rongmu, fearing that Yu Rongmu would regret and be in danger, sent one or two core disciples to guard Yu Rongmu, this guard lineup was really strong, and Yu Rongmu didn't have to pay any fees.

At first, Yu Rong Mu was still a little worried, but after asking Jialan, he was no longer worried; now these sects are afraid that something will happen to him, so they can only hand over seventy percent of the profits to the sect every year, then these core disciples are Yu Rongmu's real guards, even if they die, they will not let Yu Rongmu die. Because the agreement is focused on Yu Rong Mu alone, if something happens to him, the shops will be gone, and these sects will not be reasonable, and the empire will be able to occupy these shops justifiably at that time.

Qin Shang did things very skillfully, he asked Yu Rongmu to set up a number of business organizations, so that in the competition with Zhengbaolou, there are many on the surface, and it will not make people suspicious.

Taking advantage of this incident, Jialan asked Li Rong to come forward, secretly cultivated protégés and old officials, and gradually formed a new force, but no one knew that this force was on the side of the prince of Changyi, and the prince of Changyi also secretly supported Jialan.

The New Year came unconsciously, and Huangfu Wushuang was very melancholy about being a year older than him.

"Xiaoshuang, what's wrong with you?" asked Jialan with concern.

"What do you say?" Huangfu Wushuang said coldly, turning to leave.
