Lian Sam obviously expected this to be the case, and said with a smile: "There is another idea, the Han Empire will continue to pay taxes to our guild, and the tax rate can be appropriately lowered." What do you think?"

"By how much?" asked Greif as he became interested.

Lian Sam said: "You can negotiate how much to lower, as long as you agree to this plan." ”

Gref looked at Gu Tiancheng, "What do you think?"

Gu Tiancheng looked at Gavin Muqi instead, "What do you think?"

Gavin Muki shook his head, "The bottom kingdom pays taxes to the Kingdom Guild, not because this is a rule set by the Kingdom Guild, strictly speaking, because the Kingdom Guild is powerful. In order to survive, the Kingdom Guild can only obediently pay taxes.

Once the Great Han becomes an empire, it will have the strength of no weaker than the Kingdom Guild. Even if our generation can abide by the agreement with the Kingdom Guild and pay taxes to the Kingdom Guild, what about the next generation, the next generation?

Paying taxes is not the answer. If the Kingdom Guild is really sincere in resolving the problem of our relationship, it must objectively look at the changes in strength between the two and establish the foundation of the relationship between the two sides based on their strength. Only in this way can we truly achieve the joy of all.

Of course, this also means that the Kingdom Guild has a lot to lose. After all, the Kingdom Guild is much stronger now, and if the Kingdom Guild really has sincere negotiations, we are willing to show sincerity and transfer some benefits to the Kingdom Guild. Don't let the Kingdom Guild suffer. ”

One of the vice presidents spoke, "If it's just the Han Empire, it's perfectly fine for us to not want the taxes of the Han Empire." The secular world is big enough to hold the next Han Empire.

What we are afraid of is that once the Han Empire opens its mouth, other powerful and ambitious kingdoms will follow suit and build their own empires. At that time, repression will not be suppressed, and the secular world will be greatly changed. That's what we're really worried about. ”

Gu Tiancheng nodded secretly when he heard this, the Kingdom Guild is not exactly a bunch of mediocre people, and it is still possible to stay sober about this kind of life-and-death issue.

Princess Wencheng agreed: "What the vice president said is right, this is the key to the problem. The Han Empire has the tacit approval of the Psychic Hall and the Seven Great Guilds, and of course the Kingdom Guild will not stop it. If it's just the kingdom below looking at it, it's not a serious problem. With the control of the Kingdom Guild at the bottom, it can still be barely controlled.

I am afraid that if there is a force that is not weaker than the Kingdom Guild reaching out to enter the secular world, the Kingdom Guild will be passive. Once one or two empires rise, the secular world will undergo irreversible changes.

In my opinion, this is the trend of the times, and it is not something that can be stopped by manpower. As a kingdom guild, it still occupies an active position at this time, can see this general trend, and then use the power and resources in its hands to try its best to fight for the guild's maximum living space and resources. That's the best way to go.

If the Kingdom Guild is still greedy for the previous mode of survival, blindly grasping the kingdom's tax revenue. To put it mildly, the Kingdom Guild will end badly. "Wu Jiu Literature

The other vice president was unhappy, "The strength of our Kingdom Guild is not weaker than that of the other six guilds, and if other guilds want to meddle in our secular affairs, of course we can also meddle in their core business. It is not yet known who will win and who will lose. But no matter what, the prospects of our Kingdom Guild are not enough to be a tragic word, right? Strength is the best guarantee for the future of the Kingdom Guild. ”

Princess Wencheng smiled and did not speak again. The words just now are already overstepping, and it is best if the other party can listen to it, and there is no way to listen to it, anyway, it is not himself who suffers in the end.

Gu Tiancheng said: "Of course, there is no doubt about the strength of the Kingdom Guild, and we also know that in this Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the Kingdom Guild has prepared a new policy to strengthen its control over the kingdom below. As long as this policy is in place, I don't think any kingdom will be able to embark on the path of empire under the watchful eye of the Kingdom Guild. Are your worries a little unfounded?"

"If it's normal, you're not wrong to say that. Lian Sam said, "However, it is the eve of the great war, and once the battle between the Psychic Hall and the Soul Hall starts, and the war is fierce, it will be difficult for us to ensure control of the kingdom below." At that point, many adventurers will choose to take risks, and at that point, we will have to take care of the front line, and it will be difficult to divide our energy to deal with the fires in the backyard. ”

When Gu Tiancheng heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart, he seemed to have touched the general strategy of the Moonlit Night Empire Road.

Originally, the exploitation of the lower kingdoms by the kingdom guild was very heavy, and the tax burden made each kingdom hardly have the extra financial resources to expand.

Now the Kingdom Guild has announced a new policy to further strengthen the exploitation of the lower kingdoms, which will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the sense of rebellion among the kingdoms.

It's just that the strength is too weak, and I don't dare. But when they saw that the Great Han had opened the path to the empire, and the Kingdom Guild had no action, could they have no idea in their hearts?

If at this time, someone stands up and organizes several or a dozen kingdoms to seek to unite and protect themselves and get rid of the control of the kingdom guilds. There is a great hope of success. Especially when the Kingdom Guild is dragged to the battlefield of the Hall of Souls, it is almost certain that as long as someone stands up, the secular world will be a banner of righteousness, and at that time, the secular world of the Kingdom Guild will collapse in a very short period of time. Even if the Kingdom Guild devoted its main energy and strength to the secular world, it would not help.

Because their opponent is the moonlit night, it is the Soul Palace, plus the kingdom guild is in the light and the other party is in the dark, the kingdom guild has no chance of winning.

"I wonder if you have discussed any good countermeasures?" asked Gu Tiancheng.

Lian Sam shook his head, "There's no good way, that's why we want you big men to set an example." Of course, in order to thank the Great Han, our guild will definitely not let you Great Han suffer. ”

Gref shook his head and said, "Even if we are willing to sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation, those kingdoms are not fuel-efficient lamps. As the lord of the country, I know them all too well. It is unrealistic to want to use the Han as an example to suppress those empires. Gu Tiancheng said it very well, everything depends on strength. ”

Gu Tiancheng added: "Now it is still the Kingdom Guild that has the strongest strength, and it has the power to formulate rules. This is the biggest advantage. It can be fully utilized. ”

Lian Sam smiled: "Aren't we just discussing the rules now?" ”

Gavin Muki said: "It's easy to make the rules. But in order for the empires below to comply, the Kingdom Guild must be far more powerful than them. Therefore, I think the key to the problem is how to maintain the strength of the Kingdom Guild at the bottom. ”
