Gu Zuo once thought that the Chongxuan Department was ready to implement the tax system, but now it seems that Su Fen and the precise Taoist chief are right, where is this tax system, but the feudal system in the cultivation world.

Gu Zuo stared at Li Mi and said, "This move is only limited to the cultivation world!"

Li Mi replied without hesitation: "Of course, the world still belongs to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Gu Zuo was powerless to reverse this situation, so he could only start thinking about himself, he took a deep breath and said, "Then I have a request." ”

"Say it. ”

"When bidding tomorrow, please consider the special situation of the Huaixian Pavilion, Nanwu Prefecture is too small, located in the heart of the Black Mountain Edict, if there is a sect to bid for the Black Mountain Edict at any cost, it will be equivalent to trapping the Southern Wu Prefecture to death, and the future development of the Huaixian Pavilion will be in the hands of others. ”

Li Mi pondered for a moment, nodded and admitted: "It's really special, it's poor and inconsiderate." In this way, the Black Mountain Edict and the Southern Wu Prefecture are connected as one, and they are regarded as the state where the mountain gate of the Huaixian Pavilion is located, and the Huaixian Pavilion has priority. ”

Gu Zuo gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Archmage!"

Li Mi suddenly said: "If the Black Mountain Edict is under its jurisdiction, the four divisions of Montenegro can be regarded as an internal sect, aren't you afraid of being taken over by them and occupying the magpie's nest?"

Gu Zuo smiled bitterly: "As long as the Chongxuan Department does not indicate the world, there can be a rebellion internally, at least for two or three years, no one will dare to do this." As for two or three years later, if the Huaixian Pavilion can't suppress the four departments of Montenegro, then it is time to hand over the jurisdiction. ”

Li Mi smiled and nodded: "Of course not, the Chongxuan Department has never had the intention of encouraging internal rebellion, what we need is that the sect can become stronger and bigger, not kill and fight." ”

Gu Zuo asked about the reserve price of the "pledge" in each state and county, but Li Mi didn't say anything, but said: "Poor Dao didn't say it to everyone, for the sake of fairness, I can't reveal it to you, why worry, I can know it tomorrow." ”

After that, Li Mi handed Gu Zuo a map, which was the map of the prefectures and counties of the world, and the places shown in light ink on it were the prefectures and counties that were ready to be put up for auction.

Of the two hundred and sixty states and counties, only eighteen participated in the auction, and all the remaining sects could only entrust their fate to the hands of others—even most of the sects ranked in the top 50, and the cultivation pattern of the world was bound to usher in unprecedented changes, which was also shocking to think about.

Gu Zuo was scared and glad at the same time, put away the map, and said goodbye to Li Mi. He should be the last sect that Li Mi talked to, after talking to the eighteen sects in a row, Li Mi was a little tired, and when Gu Zuo looked back, he saw him sitting alone on the stage, his body was lonely, and he was slightly depressed.

A little Taoist priest from the Chongxuan Department led Gu Zuo out of the scripture platform and returned to Yunshui Hall, Gu Zuo thanked him, and the little Taoist priest turned around and left with an expressionless face, but a leaf fell from his sleeve when he left.

Gu Zuo was stunned, and when the figure of the little Taoist priest disappeared into the mountain road, he beckoned the leaves into his hand, only to see the words "Tongchuan County" written on it.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Zuo thought of the Tang Sect.

Tangmen is located in Tongchuan County, southeast of Jiannan Road, and I took out the map and flipped through it, and sure enough, it was marked with light color. Looking at the rest of the places, except for the states and counties where the thirteen ore veins controlled by the Chongxuan Administration are located, they are all light-colored, and they are all in the auction.

To the west of Tongchuan County is the Qingcheng faction, to the east is the Chenshan faction, and to the south is the Luofu Zhao of the Luofu faction. Qingcheng and Luofu are the twelve authentic sects in the world, and the Chenshan faction is also among the top twenty all year round, no matter which one eats Tongchuan County into the stomach, it is not a good thing for the Tang Sect, maybe they will be controlled by others for a long time in the future.

Of course, thinking about it on the other hand, these three may not dare to bid for Tongchuan County, and whoever has such a monster as Tangmen under his rule may not be able to sleep well.

But everything can't be at the mercy of people, of course, your own life is in your own hands, so Gu Zuo got this leaf to spread the word. At such a critical moment, the people who could speak through the Chongxuan Department helped to bring the words, and the great energy of the Tang Sect also made Gu Zuo feel frightened.

Or perhaps, in fact, Tangmen has already begun to prepare for this?

Gu Zuo himself didn't dare to ask for Tongchuan County, after taking it, it would inevitably be a hot potato, presumably the Tang Sect did not want to succumb to the Huaixian Pavilion, but the lesser of two evils, rather than being taken by Qingcheng, Luofu and Chenshan, it was better to be taken by the Huaixian Pavilion.

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Zuo decided to wait and see, if the three really want to snatch Tongchuan County, he will do what he can, if there is no one to fight, he will not need to make a move, just let Tongchuan County be auctioned.

When he came to the edge of the high cliff, Gu Zuo saw many people standing here, either looking alone, or whispering in twos and threes, among which were Gu Zuo's acquaintances, such as Elder Jiang of the Dongting faction, Elder Shi of the Huashan Xixuan faction, and Longdao people from the Wangwu faction.

The dragon Dao people beckoned to Gu Zuo, and Gu Zuo hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Have you seen Li Mi?"

"Yes, Grand Master Li has already finished talking to the juniors. ”

"Let's go, follow us old fellows down this side of the mountain road. ”

"Yes. ”

Going down from a gravel path next to the high cliff, the four of them walked slowly down the cliff, walked for a long time, came to a stone pavilion and stood still, and said something not salty or light about the scenery of Zhongnan, and the Longdao people entered the main topic.

"Xiao Gu, how much spiritual rice can the Huaixian Pavilion eat?"

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "There is a spiritual field in Nanwu Prefecture, and this year's output can be two thousand stones. ”

Long Daoren asked again, "Can you finish eating?"

Lingmi is different from ordinary food, eating less is certainly good for the body, for monks, it can also increase cultivation, and has the effect of some spirit stones, but it is not good to eat too much, especially for ordinary people, eating too much is poison, therefore, the consumption of Lingmi is not large.

After calculating, Gu Zuo replied: "Based on the situation in Wuzhou in the south, Lingmi can be self-sufficient, and there is still surplus grain to hoard. ”

Long Daoren asked: "Can you expand the dosage and charge more?"

"What do you mean?"

Long Daoren pointed at Elder Jiang: "Their Dongting Sect produces spiritual rice, can Xiao Gu help buy some?"

Elder Jiang said: "It's still a matter of bidding for the state and county, Jiangnan is crowded." ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Zuo understood that although Jiangnan Dongdao was very large, there were also many sects. Among the eighteen sects participating in the bidding, there are Dongting faction, Maoshan faction, Kucang faction, Chicheng faction, Zuoshenmen, and Weiyu faction gathered here, accounting for one-third.

There are only 19 prefectures and counties in the entire Jiangnan East Province, so how should this be divided? Even if everyone expands to the surrounding Jiangnan West Province, Shannan East Province, Huainan Province, and Lingnan Province, who should the states and counties that are adjacent to each other belong to them? Therefore, the auction will inevitably be very fierce, and this will require a lot of financial resources to support it.

Looking at the blazing eyes of the three old guys, Gu Zuo reluctantly said, "I'll buy it." ”
