Chapter 740: Heavy Taxation in Fang City

After a while, everyone came to the market, only to see rows of stalls, selling fish, meat, exotic flowers and plants, fresh fruits, and some people picked flower petals and ground them into fine powder and sold them on the street.

This kind of petal powder exudes a faint fragrance, and can make the skin slippery, it is a rare good thing, and is sought after by everyone, so Ji Wenming took out a few newly obtained dragon scales to wrap all the goods, and each person divided a few packs, so that everyone was very satisfied and praised.

Seeing that the Fang Market was crowded and the business was thriving, Ji Wenming couldn't help but sigh and said: "When will my human race have such a lively and peaceful Fang Market!"

Tu Shanjiao said: "There will be a day!"

Ji Wenming has been here before, and knows the rules of trading here, or bartering, or using shell coins as equivalents, or just using dragon scales and gold to settle the bill, compared to shell coins and gold, dragon scales are too precious, ordinary fox demons have never even seen it.

Dragon scales have many uses, they can be used for casting, dragon scale armor and dragon scale shields are magic weapons; dragon scales can also be used for cultivation, extracting the true dragon qi in them, and integrating them into themselves, it can produce an effect similar to dragon power; and can even be used to refine medicine, real dragon scales, which have the miraculous effect of raw white bones and congested flesh......

The dragon scales that Ji Wenming took out were the treasures on the body of the former patriarch Ao Tianzheng, each full, as big as a palm, and the light flickered, the old fox who sold pollen had never seen such treasures, and said: "Guest officer, do you have shell coins? I can't see this thing for sure, the value is too high, I dare not accept it!"

Ji Wenming knew that he didn't know the dragon scales, so he was afraid that he would deceive the goods, so he stretched out his hand and flicked, and the dragon scales spun and flew in mid-air, making a dragon groan, and even a thick dragon qi floated from the surface of the scales, forming a small coiled dragon pattern.

Dragon scales are rare, and the tourists who are trading around suddenly stop and gather around, wanting to see the excitement.

The old fox who sells pollen has never seen Long Teng, but he has heard of it, and he is excited at the moment, and stammered: "This is the legendary dragon scale? I didn't expect my old man to have such a blessing! It's just that my basket of pollen is not worth half a dragon scale, why don't you exchange it for shell coins for me to settle the bill!"

Tu Shanjiao took out dozens of shell coins, handed them to the old fox, and said: "It's because we didn't think about it, I have some shell coins here, please accept them and see if they are enough?"

The old fox took the shellfish coin, and said in a continuous voice: "Enough is enough, a little pollen is not worth anything, if the girls like it, you can go to Xishan at any time to find me to purchase!

Seeing that the old man was not greedy for money and was simple and responsible, Ji Wenming had a good impression, so he still gave him a piece of dragon scales, and said: "In the future, there will be more good goods for my sister-in-law, this is a deposit!"

The old fox nodded in thanks.

Tu Shanjiao nodded, pinched a piece of dragon scales from Ji Wenming's palm, and said, "You dare to reveal such a treasure?"

Several Tu Shan girls laughed and said: "Oh, my sister has started to take care of the house, and I know that I feel sorry for my brother-in-law, help him pay, I think my brother-in-law will be blessed in the future!"

Ji Wenming ignored the laughter of everyone, and said to Tu Shanjiao: "A few days ago, in the East China Sea War, I picked up a lot of dragon scales, if you like it, I will share half of you!"

Ji Wenming took out dozens of dragon scales from his arms, handed them to the women of Tushan, and said: "It's not fun to accompany Gillian, you go around, buy what you like, and your brother-in-law will pay you all!"

The women were not polite, and they stepped forward to collect the dragon scales, and each of them got as many as five.

Tu Shanjiao shouted: "This thing is used to refine bows and arrows, but it is a high-quality material, you don't really spend it for ordinary things, that is a real loser!"

The women left with a haha, but they stuffed the dragon scales into their arms, and none of them were really willing to use them as tokens, nonsense, they are not stupid girls, such treasures can't be sought, even if they don't need them, they can be used as family heirlooms!.

Ji Wenming was about to leave, when he suddenly found that the crowd had dispersed, but several Tushan women were stopped, and someone said: "Have you ever paid taxes for trading here? Such a large transaction, hum, and settle the bill with dragon scales? Our fox country has to take half of the tax!"

"Tax, what tax?" was stunned......

"You trade in my Qingqiu, and I Qingqiu provides you with a trading place to ensure the safety of the transaction, is it provided for free? Therefore, taxes must be collected as a reward for the city guard! All shell currency transactions are traded in ten percent, all gold transactions are traded in ten percent and three percent are traded in ten, and all dragon scale transactions are traded in ten percent and fifty percent are traded! This is the rule!"

The flower fox knew the rules, handed over the dragon scales in his hand, bowed his head and said, "Understand, please give a few uncles change!"

The treasure in hand was handed over to others, not only was it not angry, but it also felt very lucky, a fox in armor and a knife took the dragon scales, and took out a dozen shell coins to give it change......

The flower fox took the money and walked away, it actually knew that this dragon scale could not be kept by itself, and it could exchange some money if it was handed over at this moment, if it was brought home, maybe it would be snatched by those robbers and demons, and it would not even be able to save its life at that time.

Seeing that the matter was over, Ji Wenming pulled Tu Shanjiao and Ling Bingxue to turn around and leave, and the fox soldier said, "Don't go, your taxes haven't been paid yet!"

Ji Wenming asked puzzledly, "Where did we get any taxes?"

The fox opened his mouth and said, "You gave each of these girls five dragon scales, a total of fifty dragon scales, and according to reason, you need to pay the tax of twenty-five dragon scales!"

Ji Wenming said angrily: "Those are my relatives, I give them dragon scales to buy things, if you want, you can follow them to pay taxes, you can't act indiscriminately, I didn't trade with them!"

The fox guard said: "I don't care, I will see you give them dragon scales! Maybe there is some deal in private! Either you will pay the tax obediently, or you will be detained by the fox clan, and all the things on your body will be confiscated, I advise you to think about it!"

To be honest, Ji Wenming had never heard of such a word as taxation, and he didn't know that this tax was something recently invented by the Heavenly Fox Ancestor of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, saying that it could supplement the country's revenue, maintain public facilities, and act as a financial guarantee.

The Heavenly Fox Ancestor is good at the Nine Techniques of the Heavenly Fox, and often glimpses the future, so he has learned a lot of miscellaneous skills, and experiments in Qingqiu Mountain one by one.

But Ji Wenming can't accept this set, he walks the world, who dares to tax him? Not to mention that such a high tax rate is no different from robbery.

Therefore, he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Fart, nonsense, you are ruining the reputation of the Sky Fox, smashing the signboard of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and collecting taxes? It's just a robbery, hum, I'm here, I see which of you dares to come nonsense!"
