Chapter 195: Taxes!
"We are not familiar with the Void Land and the Void creatures, we can only judge from the Void Air breath we feel on this spiritual weapon, maybe because they belong to the same Void Thing, they can merge!"
Stroking the spiritual weapon in his hand, Bai Luo judged in an uncertain tone that this spiritual weapon should also be born from the void, so that the purple light people can merge with the spiritual weapon.
After saying that, Bai Luo saw a deep look on Yi Cheng's face, could it be that the inference he said was a little trigger for Yi Cheng?
In the Heaven and Earth of Knowing the Sea, a ball of blood that had been extracted from the body of the Void Snake Human Body and was full of Void Energy was swimming.
After being purified by the power of the "sword" word universe mantra, this blood has been completely used by Yi Cheng, and it is placed in the world of knowing the sea, if it weren't for Bai Luo's reminder, Yi Cheng would almost forget this blood!
According to Bai Luo's speculation, if the purple light man and the spirit weapon can be fused, it is because it has the characteristics of the void at the same time, does that mean that he can make good use of this blood and control the spirit weapon!
With this idea, Yi Cheng was impatient to go into retreat and verify whether his idea was correct.
"Bai Luo, nothing has happened to Wei Lanxing recently, if there is nothing important, then I will retreat for a period of time and refine the spirit weapon!"
In the battleship dock, he turned his head to look at the source city in the distance, and remembered the envoy of the principality with a big belly and a shiny face.
Bai Luo said unhappily: "If you don't come back, I was still trying to contact you, the principality sent an envoy, who lives in Source City now, and has been clamoring to see you, and has been living in Weilanxing for several days, and I will definitely not leave if I can't see you!"
"Emissary!" Canonized as a baron, after obtaining the territory of Weilanxing, Yi Cheng has never seen an envoy from the principality.
This time I lurked in the Void Family, and as soon as I got some benefits, these flies smelled and came running?
Yi Chengcai didn't believe that the envoys from the principality would have anything good, although he was not very familiar with the politics of the principality from the mountains, Yi Cheng had heard of the notoriety of these envoys.
Former Wei Lanxing was poor and had no oil and water to fish, and these annoying guys naturally wouldn't waste their precious time to come to Wei Lanxing to loot them.
The trip to the Void Lands, if they wanted to come to the Demon Eye Legion to see that they Weilanxing had so many starships, and reveal this matter to these annoying guys, they came over to suck blood!
There is no need to ask Bai Luo, Yi Chengcheng knows that it must be the same as he thinks, otherwise Bai Luo would not be so unhappy.
"Did this messenger say he wanted to see me for something?"
Thinking of the envoy from the principality, Bai Luo was angry, and he couldn't get rid of it, when Wei Lanxing was in the most difficult time, when he was infested by void creatures, he didn't see these guys come forward to help.
By the time Wei Lanxing pacified the Void Land, these guys had come over!
"What good things can be, naturally it is for taxes, Yi Cheng, you also know that every lord has to pay an appropriate amount of wealth to the principality every year, the former Weiwei Lanxing is on the edge, there are no good things, and there is no nobleman who is willing to come here, there is no oil and water, the principality turned a blind eye, and did not ask us for taxes, and now I don't know where I heard that we have dozens of starships, so I came to collect taxes!"
Sure enough, it was the same as I thought!
Yi Cheng smiled at Bai Luo and said: "It's okay, you don't have to be angry, you don't know what kind of virtue they are among those nobles of the Shanlai Principality, they will come back sooner or later, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it!"
Pulling the angry Bai Luo, Yi Cheng put away the spirit weapon and walked towards Source City.
Along the way, the residents of Weilan Star saw Yi Cheng's safe return, and let out bursts of cheers to welcome Yi Cheng's return, except for a few henchmen in Bai Luo, the ordinary residents on Weilan Star did not know that Yi Cheng had gone to the Void Family's lair.
But this did not prevent them from being happy to see Yi Cheng's return, no matter where Yi Cheng was, he had already become the backbone of the residents of Weilan Star.
The cheers one after another attracted the envoys of the principality from the source city, and the envoys flew out of the source city and saw Yi Cheng surrounded by the crowd.
Through his appearance and comparison with the portrait information he obtained, the envoy recognized Yi Chengcheng as the lord of Wei Lanxing.
From afar, he said to Yi Cheng in a strange way: "Hey, our lord is back, a little baron, the party is really big, let the envoy wait for me for so long, I don't know, I still think that your Wei Lanxing is independent, even the envoy sent by the principality, dare to avoid it!"
Crossing the crowd, Yi Cheng looked at the fat-headed and big-eared envoy of the principality, with a greasy appearance and obscene eyes, which made people feel bored at a glance.
"You are the messenger from the principality, you have to see me something, you have nothing to do, but I have to run for life, of course I don't have time to talk to you!"
His eyes widened, and the messenger snorted coldly: "Dare to talk back to the envoy, slap yourself ten times, and I will spare you for the crime of disrespect!"
When they meet, they have to give themselves a dismount, and this messenger does not look at whose territory he is now.
Without Yi Cheng to speak, Xin Ji and Bai Luo jumped out of the crowd and said fiercely: "On Wei Lan Xing, it's not your turn to be presumptuous!"
"Hey, are you going to rebel, I'm a messenger sent by the principality, don't you dare to beat me?"
Being stared at viciously by Xinji, the envoy was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and realized that he was actually frightened by these poor and remote people.
Pointing at Yi Cheng, he said in a cold voice: "Baron Weilan, is this how you care about your servants, if you dare to be disrespectful to the envoy, you are not afraid that the principality will abolish your baronial title!"
Signaling Sinji not to be impulsive, although this fat man is annoying, he is indeed an envoy sent by the principality, and he can't blatantly beat people.
Let's see what he has to say!
"On Weilan Star, there are no servants, only siblings, if the envoy doesn't know the situation, please pay attention to the words, the province is beaten, I don't know why?"
"You're ......!" Pointing at Yi Cheng with trembling fingers, the envoy calmed down his excitement, and looked at the people around him who were eyeing him and surrounding him, and he was not the opponent of these Diao people after all.
The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and the messenger thought viciously in his heart, this time he came because of taxes, and he would collect more in a while, and he must teach this group of people who do not understand the rules a hard lesson.
"I don't quarrel with you, my status is noble, and I have nothing to say to you people!"
After taunting Xinji and them, the messenger pointed his finger at Yi Cheng and continued: "Just you, Baron Wei Lanxing, your name is Yi Cheng, right, I was sent by the principality to collect taxes, you pay the taxes, I don't want to stay in this place for a day!"
Although the former guard Lanxing was barren and did not have to pay taxes, the payment of taxes was indeed a rule made by the principality for all lords with territories.
When enjoying the benefits brought by the principality, he should naturally also assume the corresponding obligations, Wei Lanxing is the territory given by the principality to Yi Cheng, even if he doesn't like this messenger, Yi Cheng is willing to abide by the rules of the principality.
Even if the Principality has never fulfilled any obligations to Wei Lanxing!
"How much is the tax, whether it is to pay materials or money, you give me the bill details, I will take a look, and let someone prepare it for you!"
Stretching out his hand, Yi Cheng asked the messenger for a bill.
According to the tax law of the Principality of Shanlai, at the end of each year, the total income of the lord in the territory for the whole year is counted, and 30% of the total income needs to be paid to the principality.
The former Weiwei Lanxing was barren, did not produce, and did not mine strange things and ores, and the total annual income was zero, and thirty percent of zero was still zero, so it was not paid to the principality.
It has not been a full year since Wei Lanxing was sealed, and Yi Cheng didn't know what standard the envoy was going to use to collect Wei Lanxing's taxes!
His eyes narrowed slightly, the envoy didn't expect Baron Wei Lan to be quite knowledgeable, and he thought that it would take a lot of words to convince him, but he didn't expect to be so obedient, it seems that he was afraid of himself!
With a big belly, the messenger felt that he was really mighty!
took out the bill that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and the messenger's tone was much higher than before, and threw it to Yi Chengdao: "This is the tax bill, let people prepare it, I'm going to go to sleep now, and I'm ready to let people call me!"
Throwing the bill to Yi Cheng, the messenger turned around and was about to leave, and as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Yi Cheng, who took the bill.
Looking at the dense supplies on the bill, Yi Cheng couldn't help laughing angrily, and asked the envoy: "It's been less than a year since I was named Weilan Star, and you have counted the terms of office of the previous Barons Weilan on my head!"
"Also, Wei Lan Xing's total annual income is actually so much, how come I don't know, this Mithril, the Millennium Tree Spirit and this Mountain Giant, do you think there are these things on Wei Lan Star?"
Rubbing his stomach, the messenger looked at the starship dock and said to Yi Cheng disdainfully: "If you don't say that I have forgotten, if you can't hand over these things in a short time, then hand over the more than two dozen starships on the battleship dock to me, just as interest, I can intercede with the principality for you, and give you a few more days, so that you have time to prepare!"
As the words continued, the envoy saw that the smile on Yi Cheng's face became brighter and brighter, and the envoy thought that his generosity had won the admiration of Baron Weilan.
Even the envoy felt that he was really too merciful, and he actually thought so much about the person who was disrespectful to him just now!
A stiff smile squeezed out of the fat face, and the messenger continued to Yi Cheng: "You don't have to thank me, as long as you give me interest on all the warships on the dock, I guarantee that I can definitely get you the time it takes to collect these things on the bill!"
Bah!
With a smile on his face, Yi Cheng spat at the messenger fiercely, it was really shameless, how could he have the courage to take this bill to collect taxes from himself.
It's better to grab it directly!
How!
It's obviously a robbery, but you have to give yourself a list!
"A guy like a pig, who gave you the guts to blackmail me!"
The smile on his face froze, and the messenger tried to widen his eyes, he couldn't believe that the little baron dared to insult himself!
