Chapter 132 Overt and Covert Investigation (Second Update)
Haozhou City is a relatively complex continent within the scope of the Beitang family's strength. The entire Haozhou City has a square city structure, spanning 50,000 miles from east to west and 30,000 miles from north to south. The total area reaches more than 100,000 square meters, although it is not as good as the north.
The headquarters of the Tang family, but it can also be considered a first-class city above the God Realm!
The leader of Haozhou Prefecture, Long Kexia, has a high level of cultivation. It is said that he has reached the level of a six-star god king and has few opponents, so no one dares to make trouble in Haozhou City. The person who can become the master of a state not only has extraordinary
The ability is also indispensable in the background.
According to the list given to Li Huai by the head of the family, Beitang Yaoyue, this Long Kexia is the distant nephew of the Beitang elder, Long Taizhen. He is cunning, narrow-minded, arrogant, and the person who offended him.
They will all think of ways to take revenge and will not stop until death!
The center of Haozhou City is the state's main palace, and the palaces are magnificent and majestic.
In a hall called Ziqi, a majestic blond man wearing a golden robe sat on a golden throne. On both sides of him stood dozens of powerful masters of the god king level. At this time, a god king was standing.
Standing in the center of the hall, he reported to the majestic blond man on the throne:
"State Master, I have heard clearly that the new elder will come to Haozhou City to take up his post in a month. However, State Master does not need to worry. It is said that he is just a boy with good luck. He relies on the Holy Dragon to reach his position.
It seems that he is not qualified to sit on the position of elder at all. Haozhou has been managed by us like an iron barrel. When he comes to Haozhou, won't he be at our mercy?"
"Really? The head of the family actually sent such an ignorant kid to take charge of Haozhou. With her intelligence, she wouldn't have thought that we would make things difficult for him, right?" The blond man sneered.
"Hey, State Master, I also found out that that kid has a good master. His master is Mad God, and the head of the family is very fond of Mad God, so he insists on promoting that kid to an elder!"
"Interesting? He is actually the disciple of the Mad God! I would like to see how powerful the disciple of the Mad God is!" A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the man in gold robe.
"State Lord, you think so highly of him. That kid is nothing compared to the State Lord! He has just broken through to the God King. Even if his master is a Crazy God, he will not be as powerful as he is! At that time, if he dares to disobey
, let’s find someone to take care of him once and he’ll be honest!”
The blond man's face turned cold. "In that case, the new elder is not worth mentioning! Huh, since he is so useless as you said, how can he get the attention of the family leader, and he has also made great contributions to the world! We can't be too much
Look down on him and do things
Don't be too careless. You can send people to inquire and find out his details. If he is willing to be a puppet elder and does not stop me from doing things, I don't mind letting him enjoy it. If he doesn't know what he is doing, I have a thousand options.
There is a way to deal with him!"
"That's what the state leader said! This is not something that my subordinates thought carefully! I will send someone to investigate right now!"
"Okay! Let's not talk about him anymore. It's not worth wasting too much time on an ignorant kid!" The blond man waved his hand, and the God King withdrew from the Purple Air Palace, while the others began to report other things.
After Li Huai gave Bi Dong a few words, he acted alone. He took out the formation and hurried on. I don't know how fast he was. After a few hours, he was very close to Haozhou City.
Looking at this majestic and huge city from a distance, Li Huai nodded appreciatively, fell from the sky, and strolled towards the city gate. There were many gods walking on the avenue, and many of these gods were...
As the middle god and the upper god, the god king has never been seen. Li Huai hides his aura, so people who are weaker than him will only regard him as a god at the peak of the upper god.
You can only enter the city gate by walking, not by flying. There are restrictions in the sky, and you are not allowed to fly in the city. Only the God King can fly. If you have not reached the realm of the God King, you have to break the rules. I'm sorry, you will
There are patrol masters to deal with you! This rule works in every city!
Li Huai's powerful soul power swept across the avenue, and there were countless gods and men entering the city. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid there are close to 100 million gods and men entering the city every day!"
There is a fee to enter the city gate. The upper god has one god crystal, the middle god has three god crystals. As for the lower gods, they are not allowed to enter, and the god king does not need to pay.
Since Li Huai hid his cultivation, he certainly would not reveal the cultivation of the God King just because of a divine crystal. He took back the power of his soul, nodded thoughtfully, took out a divine crystal and handed it over
Guard, and then strode into Haozhou City.
As soon as we entered the city, we were greeted by a wave of noise.
"It's so lively! So many people!"
Li Huai walked forward slowly, looking at everything around him. Although the streets were very wide, there was a lot of people, so they seemed a little crowded. Haozhou City is the largest city in Haozhou, and the entire city is here.
The best resources in the continent, so high-level gods with a little money are willing to come here to buy suitable things. Because the place is large, there are more people buying and selling various things, whether it is buying or selling things.
There are unified regulations, so you generally can’t suffer!
There are also many trading shops in the city, selling artifacts, elixirs, and various refining materials. There are also many places for entertainment and play. Li Huai even saw gambling houses, etc., and of course the gladiatorial arena.
, products like auction houses are also indispensable!
"Such a prosperous city actually says that it can't raise enough taxes collected by the family. The daily city entry fees alone may bring in hundreds of millions of divine crystals! It seems that the state leader really has a problem!" Li Huai thought.
He secretly said, with a playful expression on his lips.
Every hundred years, the states and cities under the family will pay taxes to the family. According to Li Huai's understanding, the taxes paid by each state and city are different. The tax paid by the least state and city is 10 trillion divine crystals.
Although ten trillion divine crystals may sound like a lot, it is nothing to a huge city.
But what is irritating is that there are very few states and cities that can pay the tax stipulated by the family every hundred years, and Haozhou and Bozhou are one of the two cities that cannot pay enough tax!
Li Huai knew that the family stipulated that the tax amount for Haozhou City was 15 trillion. In the past 10,000 years, among the 100 tax payments, the most they paid was 12 trillion, and the least was only 6
Trillions, it has never reached the standard even once!
This made Beitang Yaoyue, the head of the family, very angry, but she was not the only one to have the final say in such a large family, so she had no choice but to shut her eyes in these cities.
Li Huai has calculated that according to the flow of people in Haozhou City, the city entrance fee collected per day is at least 200 million, so the income in one year is 73 billion divine crystals, and in 100 years it is more than 700 billion divine crystals.
This is just the state city, there are hundreds of prefectural cities below the city, so
With a year's tax, the city entry fee alone is enough to pay the family's tax. In addition to the city entry fee, the family also has properties in the prefecture and the city, and the gods also need to pay taxes when doing business in the city, so it is said that payment is required.
Not being able to afford taxes is nonsense, it’s bullshit!
As for why they can’t pay taxes, that’s something to ask the rulers of Haozhou!
The ruler of a continent is called the state leader. Under his command, there are two people slightly lower than him. One is the commercial governor and the other is the general of the military department. One of these two controls the commercial lifeline of the entire continent.
One controls all the armies of the entire continent. As for the state leader, although he does not control business and the army, nominally the commercial governor and the military generals all listen to him!
Therefore, these three people are the most powerful rulers of a continent and are called the three giants!
In addition to these three giants, there are hundreds of city lords who are also small princes and have relatively large independent rights. Among these people, there are inevitably influences from various parties, so if you want them to obey orders, you must pay attention every time.
It’s really hard to have enough tax money.
Now that Li Huai has become the master of two continents, the responsibility for paying taxes falls on him. The mistress has handed over both continents to him. If he can't even pay enough taxes, why is he still doing this?
I don't have the nerve to see my wife.
This is the reason why Li Huai came first and planned to conduct a private visit on Weibo. Presumably, people in Haozhou and Bozhou will get the news about his upcoming arrival and make full preparations. If he arrives in advance, I believe they will be able to see the future
Lots of things you can’t see!
Li Huai walked slowly in the city, sometimes entering a store to inquire, and sometimes stopping two passers-by to ask for some news. As he learned more about it, he became angrier. "It seems that the owner of the house has underestimated the city."
income!”
For an ordinary store in the city, the rent paid for one hundred years is calculated as tens of millions. How many stores does a city of more than 100,000 square meters have? So how much is the rent? This is definitely an astronomical figure. Of course, the city
There are also various types of housing, which is a large amount of income, as well as items traded on the exchange. The city lord will collect 10% tax, which is another huge amount of income, so one hundred and fifty thousand
The tax money for Yishenjing is really too little!
Li Huai found an inn in the city to stay and paid a month's rent. He planned to investigate and find out some things during this month!
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since Li Huai came to Haozhou City. During these ten days, he visited every place in Haozhou City and found many problems that made him angry, but he did not raise them, thinking
To solve the problem in Haozhou, it cannot be solved by killing a few people.
The entire ruling class of Haozhou City fights with each other to seize the family's property. It is like a family store worth hundreds of millions. The ruling class can buy the store at a low price and then sell it at a high price.
go out!
There are countless such things. Now these two states are his property, Li Huai. By doing this, they are stealing his Li Huai's things openly. Can he not be angry?
