Volume 3 Bi Ri Yang Gu 0149 A few glasses of ale
Many idlers on the street, seeing that there were police officers interrogating the Nuggets on the street, felt that most of them had a good show, so they came to watch.
The citizens of Kela are a good illustration of the great fusion of various races in Xixuan, with people of all colors of color, dressed in gray and white robes and small hats.
Welling and a few people looked at each other and answered.
"Officer, we are the commercial investigators of the Empire's West Sea Metal Trade, and the company also has a Nuggets, and of course, we will also investigate information about the Nuggets' concerns.
We had just arrived in Kela and had just docked our vehicles, and we had not yet gone through the relevant formalities. ”
The police officer in charge checked the vehicle's parking credentials, and the time record on it was really a few minutes ago, so he recognized Welling's information and turned to leave.
The onlookers saw that there was no good show to watch, and they all dispersed.
"Hey, the last time I came with the army, I was wearing the black robe of the imperial warlock, even if I went on the street alone, no one dared to stop and interrogate, but I didn't expect that this time, a few little policemen dared to stop the five of us."
Li Lingyou was a little unswerving.
"Cut, that's the identity of the Imperial Warlock that determines your status, now you are the same identity as the Revenant and the Nuggets, there is no status to speak of, of course it is worth stopping and interrogating, if there is no reasonable explanation, it is estimated that we will pay a certain price today."
Yang Xiaoyu refuted Li Lingyou's displeasure.
Welling smiled:
"It's okay, there's nothing that the G205 can't solve."
"There are so many idle people on the street, they don't need food, clothing, shelter and transportation?"
Accustomed to seeing the citizens in Yasi County and in the imperial capital of Chang'an, Xie Wuyi was a little curious about the idleness of these Kerala citizens.
Shougong gave an explanation in time:
"Hehe, I've seen the comparative analysis data, the diligence of the Great Xia clan is one of the basic reasons why we far surpass the Xixuan Federation, which is determined by our culture."
Yang Xiaoyu asked:
"Well, that makes sense, how do we go about it now?"
"Go to the tavern, the reason why I asked Shougong to park the vehicle in this berth is that there is a tavern nearby, which is the place where I met Xiao Duhuo in the first place, and it is not far from the inn where they are stationed."
Following the memory and sense of orientation of that day, Welling led a few people to the tavern where he met Xiao Duhuo.
As with the last time I saw it here, there was no time to pick up customers at the tavern.
There was no one else in the entire tavern except for a drunken old man lying on the table, covered in rags and patches.
The sunlight outside the window is cut into pillars of light by the lattice, which are projected on the rows of rough logs, reflecting a soft light, and the dust scattered by Nana can be seen in the pillars of light.
Shougong suddenly felt a little familiar.
When I met Xiao Duhuo that day, it was also such a time period, the same weather, the same place, if it weren't for Xie Wuyi and others, it would be like yesterday.
Behind the counter, the scruffy tavern owner stepped on a stool and used the unrecognizable towel to wipe down the various bottles and decorations that were displayed above the wine cabinet.
When he saw Welling and the others coming in, he felt that there were guests at this time, and he seemed a little surprised.
"Boss, come here for three glasses of ale wine, two glasses of sweet fruit wine, and buy some news by the way."
Welling smiled and threw a message to the tavernkeeper.
"There's no problem with drinking, as for the news, it depends on the situation."
The sloppy boss tossed the towel aside, washed his hands under the tap at the bar, washed the cups, and looked at Welling and the others suspiciously.
"Haha, simple news, first, how to handle the relevant mining procedures of the Nuggets team, how to pay taxes, and what are the expenses."
The boss breathed a sigh of relief, such a small problem, simple, the movements of the hands became proficient, and soon filled the required wine, put it on a wooden tray, and personally delivered it to a wine table near the window.
A few people sat down casually.
"The second thing that needs to be asked is where is this person now, and does he still live in the same place?"
Welling smashed a sip of yellow and clear ale, and casually threw out an information packet containing the images of Xiao Duhuo and his subordinates.
He always thought it was a bit funny, among the five people in their group, there was not a professional with the earth spirit attribute who pretended to be the Nuggets team, which was too unprofessional.
Of course, in this case, Welling will habitually forget that he also has a little earth spirit spell, although this earth spirit spell is still a little far from prospecting.
The tavernkeeper didn't reply, and looked at Welling with a determined look in his eyes.
Welling smiled slightly, took out a thumb-sized crystal vial, and placed it on the wine table.
The brilliant yellow immediately overshadows the yellow and clear ale.
Shou Gong could clearly see that the boss's pupils had narrowed by 10% and his heart rate had increased by 15%.
The boss immediately accepted the crystal vial, thought for a moment, and threw all the information he had to Welling.
Welling forwarded it to a few people by the way.
The procedure for applying for a mining license is very simple, go directly to the Kela State Government Affairs Hall, and the cost is about a crystal bottle, about 2 grams of metal, which is indeed not high.
Paying taxes depends on the harvest, and most of the metal harvested by the Nuggets needs to be traded.
In the tax hall near the government affairs hall, you can exchange metal for federal banknotes and gold coins, and pay a tax of 15%-5% depending on the amount exchanged.
As for Xiao Duhuo, the tavern owner is more familiar with this regular customer, especially Mangcao and Capsule, who occasionally come over to drink by themselves without Xiao Duhuo's leadership.
The owner said that he hadn't seen these people for a long time, and the owner of the inn occasionally came over for a drink, saying that they had moved out.
According to the news revealed by the other Nuggets while drinking here, the Nuggets team of Imperial Shaw, who had reaped great wealth in the Abyss of Sighs, had fled.
He was seized from the resources of the federation, but he was not settled in the tax hall, he was not paid, he fled with his money, and the police and tax inspectors of Kela were looking for him.
Several people looked at each other, Wei Ling, Shougong and Li Lingyou knew the situation, and Xiao Duhuo directly exchanged the metal for the Western Expeditionary Army.
It seems that it has been said that it is necessary to avoid the taxes of Kela, and it has also been said that it is better to give these metal resources to the empire, even if the exchange amount is lower.
Welling smiled bitterly, this guy, this guy is blatantly evading the federal taxes, this is estimated to be in trouble, most of his mining qualifications have been banned by the federation, unless, he is no longer in the area of the federation.
But it's normal, today's home planet has a large number of vast desolate areas, and there are no large enough tax inspectors, where can it be managed?
What's more, there are so many no-man's lands, the world is so big, where can I go?
Several of them were citizens of the empire, so naturally they didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Duhuo's disposal.
The five of them seemed to be drinking slowly in silence, but in fact, they were discussing in groups.
"Brother Welling, Xiao Duhuo can't be relied on, we have to find it ourselves, with Kela as the center, a radius of hundreds of kilometers, so many mountains and valleys, desert Gobi, it is indeed enough for us to find."
Yang Xiaoyu is more confident:
"With vehicles, we will search for large-scale remnant tribes little by little, and we will always find the tribe where Bi Riyanggu is located."
Xie Wuyi is still thinking about the spirit fish:
"I don't care, let's go search the area of the Jortan Spirit Lake first, I must taste the spirit fish that has just come out of the lake!"
Shougong smiled and narrowed his eyes:
"Hee-hee, Wuyi's thoughts coincide with mine!"
Welling nodded slightly:
"Well, these are no problem, guard the palace, call up the records of the blue bird, and find the black market location that Xiao Duhuo took us to at the beginning, specifically for the Nuggets, maybe there will be more information, and that is the well-informed place for the Nuggets."
"It's simple, and you can look it up right away. However, I'm calculating, assuming that we grid this area and investigate it one by one, without encountering a major conflict, the limit of the vehicle's energy support time. ”
The results are somewhat unpromising, although the energy redundancy has been predicted to the maximum extent and equipped with enough energy boxes, but it is still not possible to guarantee it in the absence of recharging for a long time.
At most, a month will have to be returned to Kela to recharge the energy, after all, Kela does not have the strong supply of controlled fusion energy like Iasi, and the enabling facilities are not advanced enough.
A few people were silent, but they weren't too disappointed, and the worst result was that it would only stretch the time.
Li Lingyou finally has a reliable opinion:
"I think, there are well-informed people like Mimeng in the outer city of Bohu County, and in this Kela, there is no strong military force now, gangs and gray teams must exist, will there also be well-informed people who know some news about the remnant tribes?"
Yang Xiaoyu looked at Li Lingyou with satisfaction, a little relieved.
Xie Wuyi tried to give advice:
"There should be, why don't you wait until night, the news of various taverns and night clubs is even more complicated, Eighteen Lang and Brother Yang will go and investigate?"
Li Lingyou immediately retorted:
"Why me and Brother Yang, Welling's detection skills are unpredictable."
"Because you liked to hang out in those places when you were in the imperial capital, you have more experience than Welling, and Welling has never been to those places."
Xie Wuyi has a lot of words.
Li Lingyou immediately became a little dumbfounded.
Yang Xiaoyu wiped the cold sweat on her forehead:
"I never go to those occasions, everyone knows that I am a cultivator maniac, and others have commented on the fact that I am clean and self-conscious."
Intentionally or unintentionally, Yang Xiaoyu also glanced at the palace, worried that her expression was different.
Li Lingyou saw that Wei Ling and Shougong were both looking as usual, but he almost laughed out loud.
As soon as Xie Wuyi heard Yang Xiaoyu's reasoning, she suddenly felt that it was really inappropriate for her to confuse him with Li Lingyou.
These people are really not the kind of people who can walk in the gray space.
The only person who can talk about experience is up to Eighteen Lang.
Li Lingyou obviously felt the expectant gaze and pressure of the four people, and his scalp was a little numb:
"Okay, Ben Shao is also a celebrity in the entertainment industry of the imperial capital, a master of the night club, a small problem, tonight, three men go clubbing and night clubs, ladies please avoid!"
"Why can't you be alone?"
Xie Wuyi and Shougong consulted almost at the same time.
"Haha, Ben Shao leads the general direction, Wei Ling detects people who may have information through magic, Brother Yang, in case he encounters a master, he is a force guarantee."
The two ladies felt justified.
Yang Xiaoyu also felt very reasonable.
Completely forgetting the simple theory of force, he may not be able to get Welling.
