Tax!

Lin Qi rubbed his temples with his thumb with a little headache, he had been in the Black Abyss Divine Prison for so many years, but he had never spent a single copper, of course, this had something to do with the fact that the Black Abyss Divine Prison did not have any money. But he hasn't spent a single copper for several years, which makes him more conservative in his attitude towards money.

Coughing slightly, Lin Qi sat down beside him and took the tax instructions from the chubby tax officer.

A very detailed list of taxes that list hundreds of situations that need to be taxed. Lin Qi frowned and flipped through the tax instructions, then casually threw it on the ground, looking at the tax officer with a little hesitation: "Under what circumstances, is it tax-exempt?"

The tax collector was stunned, he took a few steps back, and looked at the four centaurs who were staring at him with hot air, and the magic armor on the abyssal centaurs was very delicate, and when they stopped to rest, their breastplates automatically slid to the sides, revealing their sweaty chests and pounding muscles.

Obviously, the tax collector wisely judged the difference in combat power between himself and the four centaurs. With a light punch, he would be smashed into a patty, so he simply took a few steps back.

And the commander of the Harran Empire at this level, a middle-aged knight with the strength of the lower rank of the heavens, walked up slowly, and stood vigilantly beside the tax officer.

"Your Excellency, the nobles of our Harran Empire can be exempted from taxes: the nobles of the allied countries of the Harran Empire, such as the nobles of the Gallic Empire and the Vias Commercial Federation with the title of hereditary lord or above, can be exempted from taxes, and the nobles below the hereditary baron can be exempted from half of the tax!"

Coughing lightly, the middle-aged knight said in a deep voice: "If you are a nobleman of these countries, please also show your identification."

Lin Qi looked at this heavenly knight with a little annoyance, identity certificate? Everyone up and down this carriage is black, where is there any identity certificate? Tilting his head and looking at this middle-aged knight of the lower heavenly rank, Lin Qi suddenly had some not very kind thoughts in his heart.

It's so weak!

At the border checkpoint of the Harran Empire, there was only one Heavenly Knight and ten Status Knight Lou Zhen, and a small half of the other soldiers were at the level of human positions, and the remaining more than a thousand soldiers were all just ordinary sergeants. There is no way to compare with the Black Abyss Divine Prison, the weakest shop owner in the Black Abyss Market, those gray goblins all have the combat power of the middle rank or above!

Lin Qi suddenly discovered that he had been raised in the Black Abyss Divine Prison with too high vision and too much appetite. It is worthy of being a place where heretics gather, a place like the Black Abyss Divine Prison, which can indeed make people's mentality unbalanced.

Coughing lightly, Lin Qi carefully calculated the question of whether these two levels should be completely destroyed for the sake of some gold coins. Just as Lin Qi was churning around these bad thoughts, the old man walked out of the carriage tremblingly, and slowly handed the middle-aged knight an identity certificate made of a sheepskin roll and a gold medal.

"Yun Qing, hereditary count of the Vyas Commercial Federation, owner of the Mazuo City-State, this is my identity!" The young man narrowed his eyes, and a thin voice floated into Lin Qi's ears: "I am the real nobleman of the Vyas Commercial Federation, so don't touch those ruthless ideas." Lin Qi, Lin Qi, this is not the Black Abyss Divine Prison, don't always think about using violence to solve the problem!"

Lin Qi tilted his head and squinted at the old man: "What is my situation called?

The old man nodded and patted Lin Qi gently: "This often happens to soldiers who are born and die on the battlefield, and if you enjoy it in a normal environment for a few years, this situation will be improved." Be careful, don't hurt people lightly. Here and there, it's different!"

The Heavenly Knight carefully checked the old man's identity and token, and then respectfully gave a knightly salute to the old man and handed these things back to the old man. At the sound of the order, the gates on the border between the two countries opened at the same time, and the fat tax collector smirked a few times, and then waved his horsewhip and drove the centaur forward at a gallop.

"Are you still the hereditary count of the Vyas Merchant Federation?" Lin Qi looked at the young man in surprise, he sat down beside him, ripped off his shirt, and let the oncoming wind blow on his strong chest. The wind howled, pouring Lin Qi's mouth all over it, making Lin Qi feel the pleasure of drinking spirits.

The old man laughed, and he casually took out a dozen parchment rolls and a dozen gold medals from the ring, and showed them to Lin Qi one by one. From the lowest-ranking honorary knight to the high-ranking hereditary marquis, the young man actually held more than a dozen noble titles in the Vyas Commercial Federation.

Stuffing these things back into the ring, the young man said indifferently: "Lin Qi, you have looted so many private properties of the Holy Realm, and you have also searched those evil ghosts in the Fifth Abyss so that you can only drink porridge, your net worth is hundreds of times more abundant than mine!"

With a slight smile, the young man turned around and turned on the car

Chambers: "Remember what I told you? The Vyas Merchant Federation is a place where you can buy a qiē if you have money. As long as you have money, they dare to sell the titles of hereditary dukes and hereditary princes, even the position of the highest ranking supreme co-consul, you can afford to pay for it, and you can become the supreme consul of the Vyas Commercial Federation!"

"A nobleman is worthless, but having the status of a nobleman will make it easier for you to act!" The young man gave Lin Qi a hard kick on the ass: "If you have time, go to the House of Nobles of the Vyas Commercial Federation to buy a few clan titles, it is best to go to the ancient noble titles with severed bloodlines, buy those that are the most expensive, anyway, you have money! Unlike me, I don't have so many gold coins, and I can only afford the title of hereditary marquis, and it is a false title!"

Lin Qi was stunned, he bared his teeth and looked at the old man Qing: "But the title of earl you just presented, and the Mazuo city-state under your name?"

The old man spread his hands: "If you can afford the corresponding territory, you are a nobleman with real power." If you can't afford to buy the corresponding territory, you are an empty nobleman with only a false title. The city-state of Mazo is the lowest city-state of the Vyas Commercial Federation, known as the city-state, but it is actually a big town and a dozen small villages, when I bought it, the total population there was less than 20,000, and fifteen years ago, the total population was only in the early past 100,000!"

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, the young man said indifferently: "At that time, there was a financial crisis in the Vyas Commercial Federation, so the land was sold very cheaply.

I had only wanted to buy an empty hereditary count, but at that time land was so cheap, I bought all the land within a radius of fifty miles from the city-state of Mazo, and I even had a private army of five hundred men there!"

With a smile, the young man walked into the carriage.

Lin Qi looked at Alda, and then at the uproar, the eyes of the two guys with demonic blood were glowing.

Alda took out his spatial ring and counted all his net worth, his eyes were red, and his mouth kept muttering 'first night power, first night power, and other bastard topics. Obviously, he also wants to buy a piece of land and then aggressively enforce the first night right system in his territory.

And the saliva flowed down his face, and he remembered many, many things, but no matter what he remembered, he could only think about it. Lin Qi hasn't paid him a salary for so many years, this little devil is a poor ghost who doesn't have any copper.

Glancing at Alda and Woo Li, who had fallen into a fantasy, Lin Qi crooked his mouth.

"I love this place! I love this place!"

After being stunned for a while, Lin Qi suddenly rushed into the carriage, pulling the young old man who was holding a book and studying it carefully, and shouted: "Does the supreme consul of the Vyas Commercial Federation have the right to declare war?

The young man dropped the book and glanced at Lin Qi helplessly.

"The Vyas Commercial Federation does not have a standing army belonging to the Federation, and all the armies are the private armies of the major families and the major city-states. As the Supreme Consul, you can expand your personal armament as you please. If you can afford to raise 100,000 people, you will have an army of 100,000: if you can afford to raise a million, that is a million. If you want to declare a war order to a certain power, it depends on whether the people of the other clan support you, otherwise......"

The young man spread out his hands: "You can choose to go it alone! If you can arm three or five million regular troops, you can attack whoever you want, but those big families may sell you as soon as possible! Lin Qi, you have to review the relevant knowledge of the Vyas Commercial Federation!"

Lin Qi just smiled weirdly, and returned to the carriage he was sitting in just now.

As long as you have money, can you expand your armed forces at will? Uncle Lin Qi is not short of money now, and Lin Qi, who has scavenged the entire Fifth Abyss and more than three hundred Sacred Realms, is not short of money now! How many people are there in the Vyas Commercial Federation. How much army can it support?

Lin Qi seemed to see some unusually wonderful prospect, and he giggled and kept laughing.

Yun Poke glanced over at Lin Qi, and then shook his head vigorously: "Sir, you shouldn't tell him this." I feel that the Vyas Commercial Federation is going to be unlucky, and this will cause the family to suffer losses along with it!You know, Lin Qi now has enough gold coins to destroy the entire Vyas Commercial Federation. ”

The old man smiled slightly, and muttered softly: "Isn't that good? Isn't it good enough to destroy this loose federation and then establish a centralized empire?"

Yun narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

Three days later, the galloping carriage stopped at a small hill, and from here a majestic harbour city was in sight.

The city of Puerto Vias has arrived. (To be continued)
