Chapter 1326: God-King vs. God-King (1)

In the central square of Vyas, Lin Qi jumped into a carriage and pressed his hands vigorously to the people and nobles watching around.

"Quiet, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, quiet!"

Glancing at the tens of thousands of onlookers around, Lin Qi nodded to everyone with a smile: "Old Wanen is very happy, there are so many beautiful young ladies and ladies, so many handsome young masters and gentlemen to welcome the Longshan family back to Vias, the great commercial capital of Vias!"

Those nobles who had already had a tacit understanding with Lin Qi suddenly burst out laughing, they leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, foaming at the mouth with laughter, and laughing so much that their big teeth were exposed. And those who didn't know why were giggling and laughing, and some enthusiastic people even whistled and shrill whistles.

For the people of Vias, they lived in a commercial environment, and they did not have the same reverence for royalty as the Gallic Empire or the Harran Empire, and Vyas did not have zài royalty. The people of Vyas are in awe of only two things - the church and the gold!

The church controls the soul, and the gold controls the soul and **!

Aside from the church and the gold, the people of Vyas didn't particularly care about the nobility.

Standing on top of a carriage in the central square and giving a loud speech was a common occurrence in Vias, especially when the nobles wanted to run for consulship or other official positions. So when they saw Lin Qi jump into the carriage, they just applauded out of habit, expecting to hear some voices that were different from those of the other nobles.

"Longshan Family!" Lin Qi said loudly: "Everyone knows, the Longshan Family is doing a good job in the north!"

A low exclamation sounded from all sides, everyone knew that the Longshan family had made a name for themselves, but not just a good job? It was an absolutely unbelievable result and a battle record! Especially this ordinary-looking old man standing in the carriage, he had killed more than a hundred demigods of different races by himself.

Of course, ordinary people can't understand what a demigod is, but they know that a celestial warrior can obtain the title of honorary earl in any country, and a celestial warrior can easily defeat an army of hundreds of people! But that demigod is said to be several times more powerful than a celestial warrior! So a person who can kill more than a hundred demigods in one battle. It's remarkable.

"Therefore, the Longshan family also has a bit of a reputation in Vias!" Lin Qi said very unceremoniously: "I'm here today, you can see, the strength of the Longshan family is also good! We have dragon knights, dragon mages, a large scale of flying dragon knights, and a huge army of earth dragoons. We, the Longshan family, have enough strength to maintain some things that should be maintained!"

"For example. The business order of Vyas, this is something that our Longshan family must maintain!"

"We feel that the existing taxes of the Vias Business Federation are very reasonable, and we will never allow anyone to increase the additional tax of even one copper in any name. No matter what the name is. Whatever the excuse, whatever the reason! Vyas is a country of free commerce, and the ruling government has received enough money from the people of Vyas!"

"The ruling government has gotten enough tax revenue, so they don't deserve more!"

"It doesn't make sense whether it's collected from the nobility or from the people!"

Lin Qi nodded to the people around him, and the applause and cheers like a tsunami rang out from all directions. Ordinary people didn't know what Lin Qi's words meant, and they didn't know what Lin Qi's words meant. They did not know that the ruling government was going to form a large standing army, and that the salaries of this standing army would be paid by additional taxes.

And the nobles knew what Lin Qi meant by these words, so they supported Lin Qi with the most surging enthusiasm. The aristocracy is greedy, and the nobles who are businessmen are even more mercenary, they are too late to evade taxes, and you want to raise taxes on the nobles. Then you are the enemy of all the nobility!

And Lin Qi said that he wanted to maintain the current tax ratio, so he had the support of the nobles.

"In addition, Vyas needs a stronger leader!" Lin Qi pressed his hands, there was silence all around, and Lin Qi shouted: "Vyas needs a stronger leader!"

"Vias should have a greater say in continental affairs, and Vias's army should contribute more to the mainland'......s resistance to alien races! I must say that I am disappointed in the current Vias Navy!"

"My expectation is that in the future. In the near future, Vyas's navy will run rampant across the seas, our merchant ships will be unimpeded on the seas, whoever sees our flag will be in the wind, and our merchant ships will be able to transport goods from all continents to Vyas under the protection of our powerful navy. Dump our goods on all continents!"

Lin Qi's words were very straightforward and naked, and he glanced at all the nobles and businessmen present: "I hope you will think about my words, what do you need?"

Gold, almost all of them had the same thought in their hearts, what would the people of Vyas need if they didn't need gold? Gold, gold, gold, this was the only thought in the hearts of all the people of the Vyas Merchant Federation, nobles and commoners.

And although Lin Qi was just a few simple words, it made everyone think of a lot.

Vias's naval fleet is rampant in various seas, wherever Vias's naval flag goes, pirates flee from the wind, and the merchants' fleets can sail safely on the ocean, without the harassment of pirates, the profits of merchants can at least skyrocket several times!

And Vyas will be able to gain a greater say on the mainland?

The people of Vyas don't care about bullshit and the like, they only know that if Vyas can really become a country that promises its word, then their goods will be able to enter the markets of other countries more easily. It's as simple as that, if Vyas can truly become a power on a par with the Gallic Empire, then the merchants of Vyas will be able to do their business easily.

The nobles looked at Lin Qi and nodded, their smiles almost oozing out of every pore.

And although the people still don't know what Lin Qi's two strange words mean, they have a deep impression of the Longshan family! The people of Vyas are very good at grabbing the key points from the fragmentary information, grasping the key points related to gold coins.

If Lin Qi's two paragraphs seem to be out of tune, the focus in them is very clear!

If the Yongsan family holds the power of Vyas, then the Yongsan family will not increase tax revenue!

If the Yongsan family holds the power of Vyas, then everyone's business will be easier to do, and the income will be high!

Very good, with these two promises, if the Longshan family can really be realized, these people of Vyas will follow the Longshan family like a king. For the sake of profit, for the sake of gold, this group of people of Vyas did everything to kill people and set fires, and there was nothing they did not dare to do.

Lin Qi jumped out of the carriage, and then a large group of nobles rushed up, they solemnly shook hands and hugged Lin Qi, and then when they were making a face-to-face salute, they leaned into Lin Qi's ear and whispered praise that Lin Qi's words were very in line with their hearts.

The crowd applauded enthusiastically, and except for a few of the more intelligent businessmen, the rest of the ordinary people still didn't see what was going on here. But this did not prevent them from joining in the fun, they loudly praised the dozens of strong men transformed into dragons were so powerful and majestic, and loudly sighed that the flying dragon knights in the sky were so mighty and extraordinary.

At this moment, the coquettish Alda strode over with a hundred warriors who had opened the aura of war paint. The halo of light in the sky rolled up, and the magic elements drove a large area of light to envelop all directions, and the central square suddenly became bizarre and magnificent, as if entering the world of legendary magic elves for a while.

'Wow', tens of thousands of exclamations sounded at the same time, whether they were knowledgeable or pretending to be knowledgeable, everyone looked at the hundred warriors with their feet stepping on a war-tattooed aura ranging from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters in diameter, and they all admired the strength of the Longshan family.

When they learned the terrifying meaning of this war paint aura from their henchmen, these nobles became more and more respectful and even a little frightened towards Lin Qi and Arda.

A hundred powerhouses who are likely to be demigods, just the close guards of the Earl of Longshan?

Great goddess of wealth, how many gold coins does this guy have to throw out to hire so many such powerful guards?

All the nobles of the Vyas Merchant Federation, which was founded on commerce, focused all their energy on earning huge amounts of gold coins, and they did not attach much importance to their own cultivation, they believed that they could get a qiē with gold coins. Therefore, most of the powerhouses of their family were hired, and many of them had saint master-level offerings, and even a very small number of families had demigod-level worship elders.

But like the Longshan family, showing off a hundred demigods in a grand manner, this is really amazing!

Soon, the news that Alda had spilled 500,000 gold coins when he entered the city and hired people to build barracks also spread, and the small citizens near the central square exclaimed at the same time - what a rich family, what a rich family, it can throw hundreds of thousands of gold coins for a temporary camp, this is really too rich!

Soon, Alda let the citizens know what it means to spend a lot of money.
