Chapter 844: The Battle for the Medicinal Herb Mountain (Part II)

When this Yuanying master came to the place where there was no trace of it, cold sweat broke out, because in his eyes, five incomplete souls that were about to collapse were surrounded by a grass, and one of the remnant souls who was silently struggling with their teeth and claws was the illegitimate son of his hall master, he naturally made a handprint without saying a word, and a ray of light followed his roar: "Soul Condensation Technique!" directly hit the remnant soul of the guy who attacked Shen Fei.

The remnant soul was illuminated by this light, and the broken body condensed a little, and the confused eyes were somewhat condensed, but the other four remnant souls burst like bubbles and disappeared. However, the Yuanying master, who didn't know what to worry about, didn't dare to move forward, and could only stand far away, didn't care about the four remnant souls, but just stared at this remnant soul that had condensed all of his face, and shouted: "Who killed you?!"

"Yes...... Piece...... Man...... Person...... Long...... Gotta ......" This remnant soul with a somewhat condensed spirit just wanted to describe the appearance of the person who killed him, and suddenly let out a wail, and then his body snapped and broke all at once, and disappeared like this.

The Yuanying master, who had already come down from the flying sword, stomped his feet and scolded: "Damn! It's a step too late! It's almost passed to the underworld, damn it! It is also the power above the hall master can go to the underworld to communicate, but the hall master is willing to spend cultivation to go to the underworld to ask who his illegitimate son was killed? Damn, damn it, why don't you have a higher cultivation, and your soul can be stored for a longer time after you die, so you don't have to be so hard on me!"

The master of Yuanying scolded for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly, knowing that he was angered by the hall master, and he would definitely lower his status in the hall master, but there was no way. Who let themselves encounter such an unfortunate thing? But even so, he had to do everything possible to weaken the anger of the hall master.

Thinking of this, the master of Yuanying looked towards the place where the soul stayed before, because he knew that the soul would generally stay in the place where his body was not far away, and the five remnant souls before all stayed here, obviously their bodies were hidden underground, but the person who buried the corpse, or the murderer, was so awesome that people couldn't see it at all. And this also made the Yuanying master feel a little relaxed. Because the guy who can kill the other party, but can't destroy the soul, will definitely not surpass himself in strength, and only the hall master and their power can kill the other party's soul at the same time, of course, to do such a thing, you have to bribe the underworld every time, otherwise the law enforcers of the underworld will come to the door.

But the Yuanying master didn't think about it. The fingers made an upward gesture, and a cylindrical pillar of mud rose from the ground, and the mud flew to the side with a move of the fingers. Then there was no corpse flying up, and when he saw this corpse, the master of Yuanying couldn't help but be stunned, the murder and robbery were too complete, right? Isn't it what he thinks, the garbage in these five forces was killed by a gang of robbers?

It's just this question, when I saw the hole in the eyebrows of the five corpses. couldn't help but freeze, and after he checked the condition of the wound, he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Spiral strength! Specifically attack the eyebrows! Hmph! Sure enough, it is Zhang Yuming's specialty of the Zhongnan Gang! But the Zhongnan Gang is too bad, I made an appointment to compete with my Lanyue Gang to determine the ownership of this herb mountain, but I didn't expect to identify the ownership of this herb mountain early, and send someone to patrol the mountain early!" Hmph, if it's just an ordinary disciple who kills you, he will kill it, it's a lot of arguments before the fight, and even ask you for a little benefit, but now he is killing the illegitimate son of my hall master, and my hall master is very face-saving, so originally the ownership of an ordinary medicinal herb mountain, just a helmsman would have come forward, but now it has been directly upgraded to a level, and it is definitely the hall master who has come forward!

The Yuanying master who muttered about these took out a storage bag and collected the five corpses on the ground, and when he stepped on the flying sword, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, because he didn't know why this medicinal herb mountain that produced was all ordinary goods, and the year was not even more than a hundred years old, why would it cause a fight between the two "gang" forces? Although I heard that it was a dispute between the two groups of medicine farmers at the beginning, and it spread full, I thought that there would be a result when it spread to the level of the helmsman, and at that time, it was also decided that the rudder of the two gangs would send people to fight to decide the ownership of this medicinal herb mountain, but now because the illegitimate son of the hall master hung up, and it can be concluded that it was because Zhang Yuming of the Zhongnan Gang was killed, and the hall master of his own family would definitely come forward to find the field.

If that Zhang Yuming is an ordinary helmsman, it would be fine, but everyone knows that this thing is the grandson of the great elder of the Zhongnan Gang, and the great elder will not allow his grandson to have problems, you can believe that when the head of his own hall comes forward to humiliate Zhang Yuming, the elder Zhang of the Zhongnan Gang will definitely come forward, and as soon as he comes forward, his own side will definitely stand up for the master of the torture hall, if everyone doesn't want to let it then, I am afraid that because of this mere herbal medicine mountain, it will cause a life-and-death battle between the two big gangs.

Master Yuanying shook his head, these things are not something that he needs to think about, nor is it something he can think about, he only needs to bring the corpse back, and then accept the angry scolding and even punishment of the hall master, and then it is not his own business, unless this matter triggers a full-scale war between the two gangs, otherwise he doesn't need to take action against the enemy.

Thinking of these, the Yuanying master felt a little heavy and flew into the distance with the flying sword.

Shen Fei couldn't imagine that the guy he killed casually would cause such a big trouble, Shen Fei was used to being arrogant, although for the sake of his plan, he would be careful when the plan was not successful, and when he encountered someone he couldn't beat, he would hide with his tail between his legs, but when he encountered his own fight, and he wouldn't be discovered, he was absolutely ruthless. It can be said that this product is a guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, but who doesn't bully the soft and fear the hard in these years? And those so-called guys who are not afraid of strong enemies and are not afraid of strong pressure, and a few of them are stupid, and they will touch any strong enemy, and they will go to the top of any strong pressure? At most, the other ants laughed at this thing for daring to provoke humans, and then forgot about the existence of this daring ant in a blink of an eye.

And if you want to mix for a long time, in addition to your own strong ability, you can only be transparent, otherwise once you provoke what you can't afford to provoke, the catastrophe will come at any time. The reason why Shen Fei can be so awesome is that he has a bullshit like a little turtle to help, but the most important thing is his own strength, but it is a bullshit like Shen Fei, before he didn't have a bullshit. Even if there is a little turtle to help, then he will clamp his tail and hide far away when he can't beat it, and pounce on and bite if he can bully it.

However, Shen Fei himself has such a mentality, but sometimes when he can't hold his breath, he pounces on and bites him even if he can't beat him, in order to make himself feel comfortable, but it is estimated that Shen Fei's protagonist is surrounded by light, and every time he challenges against the sky, the final result is Shen Fei's win. But this thing really doesn't want to provoke itself that it can't beat. Because that is not only very hard, but also very dangerous, I had such courage before just because I or my relatives and friends were oppressed, and if I didn't resist, I would be finished. Now Shen Fei is alone. As long as you don't cause trouble, as long as you don't be arrogant, those powerful people will generally not bully you.

Shen Fei, who had these feelings, returned to the dam town very easily. Then he hurled all the way back, and of course took the opportunity to announce that he had obtained another batch of goods from the gang, and those in need came to purchase. And large-scale purchases are welcome for resale, but this time the price can't be set at 5 taels of gold and ten pills like the first time, and it will directly double the price of one tael of gold and one pill.

Shen Fei can now be said to be the most widely known guy in Dama Town, what he said will spread throughout the city in a short time, and when he returns to the big mansion, before he can take a breath, drink tea, and listen to the housekeeper talk about the family's expenditure arrangements, people will come to visit one after another.

Some of these people are buying pills for their own families, and some are going to buy a batch to sell in other places. Of course, although Shen Fei's goods were sold in a scattered manner, most of them were purchased by the six major families in the city, and as for whether people bought them for their own consumption or resold them, it was none of Shen Fei's business. He also wished that he would have a good relationship with all the forces in the city through the matter of guò trade, anyway, it didn't cost him any money to get these pills, he just worked hard for himself, but this hard work was also to increase the scope of his divine consciousness, it can be said that he was not only at zero cost, counting the relationship of increasing his divine consciousness, he would make money if he didn't sell the pills, let alone sell the pills.

One hundred thousand pills were sold out at once, in exchange for something worth 100,000 taels of gold, well, in order not to cause a currency crisis because he hollowed out the city's gold, Shen Fei allowed more than a thousand guys to purchase goods of the same value in exchange, so most of these big customers were bartered, and because Shen Fei's goods belonged to the style that those who did not refuse, after all, he didn't need the cost, everything that the pill could be exchanged for was considered profitable, and the more goods in exchange, he could also pull a few more trade routes, so Shen Fei now has a large number of ores, cloth, grain, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, mountains and forests, farmland, slaves, carriages and other messy things, of course, copper coins, silver, gold also have a large number, after all, there are still a large number of retail investors to buy pills.

As for the tax, the so-called government just sent a tax collector to the door, and as soon as the goods entered the door, they bowed to Shen Fei, saying that in the future, all Shen Fei's business taxes would be taken care of by this slippery middle-aged man, and then he was like Shen Fei's personal servant, helping Shen Fei's housekeeper to receive guests, while serving Shen Fei with tea and water.

For this reason, Shen Fei also deliberately pulled this tax collector to the secret room to inquire carefully, and Shen Fei directly threw three bags of ten pills to him in a big way, and this taxpayer immediately explained the Tao to Shen Fei one by one.

And at this time, Shen Fei really understood how awesome his lord was.

Lord Shen Fei, like the baron of the city lord and the other five lords, has no taxes except for one percent of the commercial tax, that is to say, Shen Fei, the lord, does not need to bear other taxes and levies, and even all the family members, domestic servants, slaves, tenant farmers, etc. whose names belong to him do not need to bear the taxes stipulated by the government, but these people have to bear Shen Fei's taxes, needless to say, those domestic slaves needless to say, their lives are Shen Fei's, so they can do whatever they want. For example, there are two kinds of tenant farmers who will take refuge in Shen Fei in the future, one is to take the land and defect, and this is to pay Shen Fei a tax slightly higher than the official tax during the harvest season, in exchange for the treatment of not needing free labor. This kind of tenant farmer is relatively free, and can switch to others at any time, but generally will not do so, after all, it is better to be raw than cooked, and some ancestors have taken refuge in a nobleman for several generations, and it has become a habit, unless the aristocracy is finished, otherwise they will not think of taking refuge in others.

The other is a farmer who is looking for Shen Fei to rent a field to cultivate, don't look at the wasteland everywhere in these years, as long as you reclaim it, it is yours, but don't forget the dangers in the wild, especially if there is no backer behind you, any ruffian can make your family ruined, so some farmers and nobles rent land to cultivate. As for such farmers, half of them are divided into fifty and fifty with the nobles, the nobles provide security protection, and the farmers have to pay for other seeds, farm tools, cattle, fertilizers, etc., and the only advantage is that they can ask the nobles for help if they are bullied, and they can also be exempted from government taxes. However, there is a danger in this way, that is, if you bully yourself by your own backers, you will not find a place to seek redress.

Needless to say, the last kind of tenant farmer is completely the kind of betrayal, which is equivalent to the slave of the nobility, but the slave who has changed to farming, and the sad place of such a slave is that it is the same as the slave, the master can do whatever he wants, and no one will say anything. The advantage is that you don't have to care about anything, you only need to work, and what tools and materials are missing, it will naturally be considered by the owner. If this kind of slave life as long as he obeys orders and does things can be done if he encounters a more passable master, the slave will be directly servile, and he will not work after being separated from the master for several generations!

As for the 1 percent commercial tax, it is for everyone to see, which means that even nobles need to pay taxes, so how can you petty bureaucrats, commoners, and lowly slaves not need to pay taxes? In fact, who will use the collected taxes? Isn't it the City Lord's Mansion and the other five families that control the power of the city? Oh, now we have to add Shen Fei, a newcomer who is on an equal footing with those five families.

That is to say, the so-called tax is actually how these nobles decide how to use it, they regard this city as their own territory, but they will not mess around, and even when the public treasury is not enough money and food, these noble families will also transfer it from the family's private treasury, of course, they need to be doubled back from the public treasury afterwards. In this case, the business tax of the six major families is a very casual matter, because in the eyes of the six major families, it is not a matter of changing the left hand for the right hand. Because of this, when the six major families did business at the beginning, they honestly paid the tax amount of one percent, but with the passage of time, especially after the people below the six families were uneven, the business tax of one percent was the same.

Although every nobleman has a tax collector who is specifically responsible for collecting commercial taxes, even if these tax collectors are idiots, they will not collect taxes from their own masters, right? In the long run, such tax collectors are equivalent to receiving public money and attaching supernumerary servants to the six major families.

Hearing this, Shen Fei blinked his eyes in astonishment, and said with some hesitation: "In other words, I can not pay any business tax this time?"

"Sir, although according to custom, you can not pay a penny, but you have just become the lord of the town, it is better not to be too conspicuous, or not to give people a handle. This is Zhong Ping's middle-aged taxman, and he reminded him with some caution.

"Understand, I'm a newcomer and new pork, and it's easiest to cut it for people, well, I sold a pill worth 100,000 taels of gold this time, according to the rules of 100 taxes and 1, it's only 1,000 taels of gold, it's nothing, wait for you and the housekeeper to go to the treasury to get 1,000 taels of gold and hand it over, rest assured, I won't let you suffer." Shen Fei said with a smile.

"Yes, the subordinates are definitely obedient to the lord!" Zhong Ping immediately said loyally.

Shen Fei knew that he had another manpower, so he couldn't help but want to try what this slick-looking guy had, and couldn't help asking, "I'm not very familiar with the forces here, can you tell me what are the awesome forces in this area?" (To be continued......)
