As the current king of the Lu Yi Kingdom, Lu Yi personally received the tax officials of the royal family. Since this time it was related to the tax situation of a kingdom, the person leading the team this time was the tax minister of the royal family!
The Kingdom of Luyi is the 201st kingdom in the world. As a kingdom, it is necessary to pay taxes to the royal family. Otherwise, why would the Holy See and the royal family have to hand down the title?
In fact, the so-called king is equivalent to the princes on earth. Although they command the military and administrative power of a place, they still have to pay taxes to the court.
Although on the surface, the royal tax and the Holy See's tax seem to be two major types of taxes, in fact, this is not the case. The royal family is actually the agency of the Holy See, governing the world on behalf of the Holy See. The so-called royal tax is actually the tax of the Holy See, and the Holy See It does not charge a penny of tax from outside.
But in fact, the royal tax is divided into two parts, 80% of which is handed over to the Holy See, and the remaining 20% ??is reserved for the royal family¡¯s own development and construction.
At the reception of Lu Yi, the royal tax officer inspected the entire Kingdom of Lu Yi. The Kingdom of Lu Yi is not large in area. It only has one main city now, with an area of ??about a hundred miles. Therefore, after a week of inspection, they It has ended.
After the inspection, the tax officer closed the door and made calculations. It was not until a week later that he finally came up with the final results and set the tax amount for the Lu Yi Kingdom!
After handing over the final tax form to Lu Yi, the tax envoy did not stay, but left Lu Yi's kingdom by boat and rushed back to the imperial capital.
Not to mention the actions of the royal tax officials, on the other side, in the palace of Lu Yi Kingdom, Lu Yi was sitting on the throne with a pale face, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. Amidst the clattering sound, Lu Yi's hands were shaking very much. sharp.
According to regulations, the newly established kingdom has a three-year tax holiday. Now that the three years have passed, Lu Yi has nothing to say about collecting taxes. After all his current identity and status are all given by others. Intersection The fee is also appropriate, but the problem now is that the amount of the tax is too exaggerated.
The Luyi Kingdom has only been established for three years and has only one royal city. According to the provisions of the tax law, it is not impossible to collect taxes, but it must be collected according to the actual situation of the kingdom.
But the current situation is that the taxes set by the royal family are really terrifyingly high. Even though there is only one royal city, the other party actually imposes the same taxes as other large kingdoms!
Take the Kingdom of Canby as an example. It is a superpower with nearly ten principalities and hundreds of cities with a population of more than one million. Therefore, no matter how high the tax is, it is actually not much if distributed evenly. Everyone can still afford it.
But the Luyi Kingdom now has only one city, with a population of less than 100,000, but the taxes it needs to pay are twice as much as those of the Kanbi Kingdom!
This is no longer a matter of paying so much and not being able to pay. This is clearly bullying. Even though Lu Yi can afford to pay so much money, the money is not so easy to pay. Giving it as a gift can still gain everyone's favor. , but if you just pay it as tax, then it¡¯s all done as it should be.
A small country with a population of less than 100,000 needs to pay exactly the same taxes as a large country with a population of one billion! This is really an exaggeration, and to be precise, Lu Yi really can't afford to pay the tax. It has exceeded the limit of what he can bear.
So far, Lu Yi has basically spent all the money on hand. Although he has made hundreds of billions from selling villas, don't forget that Lu Yi is now building a supermarket system across the continent. For the time being, that is a There is no bottomless pit, no matter how much money you throw into it, it will not be enough. In other words, the more money you have, the faster the development will be.
Looking at the huge number on the list, Lu Yi was shaking with anger, two trillion! Two trillion in taxes a year is simply a fantasy! You know the Kanbi Kingdom is so prosperous that it only collects 2 trillion in taxes a year. The Luyi Kingdom now only has a small town with a population of less than 100,000. How can it pay this money?
In the Lu Yi Kingdom, there are actually only 10,000 households, and the rest are just warriors sent by each household. With the current tax rate, it means that each household has to pay 200 million gold shields in taxes every year. This price , even the wealthy cannot afford it.
Having said that, in fact, if you insist on paying it out, you can pay it out, but if you really pay it out, who will stay here? Two trillion a year, it is better to leave the Luyi Kingdom and go directly to pay the toll. After one year, the toll will not even cost 100 million gold shields. Who would be stupid enough to stay here and pay 200 million gold shields?
"Take a blow from the bottom of the cauldron!" Looking at the form in his hand, Lu Yi finally let out a sigh of reliefThe tax rate is too harsh. If the tax rate is certain, you must pay it. If you don't pay it, you will be going against the royal family and the Holy See, and you will definitely be attacked. But if you have to pay it, what should you pay it for?
"Bang!" He slapped the desk in front of him with a fierce slap, and Lu Yi sneered. What the other party did was so incredible that he simply didn't give others a way to survive. Since he was forced to a dead end, there was nothing left to say. Lu Yi will not pay the taxes!
After making a decision in his heart, many things had to be prepared in advance. After pondering for a while, Lu Yi finally made a decision and held another meeting of all wealthy businessmen.
During the meeting, Lu Yi announced the news that every wealthy businessman living on the surface would receive an underground castle for free. When foreign enemies invaded the royal city, the wealthy businessmen could enter the underground castle through secret passages to take shelter. There it is absolutely safe. Even if the enemy sends tens of thousands of tenth-level masters, they cannot threaten the people in the underground castle.
However, the underground castle can be built for them, but Lu Yi doesn't care how big it is and what materials are used. If you don't want to, you don't have to build it. But if danger occurs, everyone will be able to avoid it. There is no place left.
After listening to the description of the underground castle in detail, all the wealthy businessmen were very tempted. In fact, the cost of building an underground castle is not high. If you just want a simpler underground castle, tens of millions of gold shields will be enough.
However, who is qualified to sit here, who is poor? Those are all famous businessmen. After making sure that the underground castle is absolutely safe, who wouldn¡¯t want an underground castle like this?
After much discussion, the final result was reached, and everyone unanimously approved the proposal. The entrance to the underground castle is within the above-ground castle. Once a foreign enemy attacks King Lu Yi's city, the wealthy businessmen will immediately enter the secret Passage, reach the underground castle and take shelter.
If the enemy tries to pursue them, they will have no choice but to sneak underground, and there Lu Yi's army is no joke. No matter how many you come, they will all die!
With such a safe place, all the wealthy businessmen are overjoyed. Not only can they keep their families safe, but more importantly, they can build their own vaults and treasure warehouses underground. There is no safer place than here.
However, although everyone is preparing to build an underground castle, Lu Yi will not interfere with the specific construction, how large it will be, and how much money will be invested. Everything will be left to the construction corps of the Lu Yi Kingdom.
After the meeting, Lu Yi did not stay. He directly controlled the Abyss Demonic Insect and rushed towards the depths of the underground world. There an army that Lu Yi had trained with all his heart for six years was practicing hard.
In a huge underground space tens of thousands of meters deep from the surface, a cruel battle is going on at the moment. Tens of thousands of abyssal demonic insects are fighting crazily and fighting
Ten thousand! A total of ten thousand ninth-level abyss demonic insects, like sharks smelling blood, were killing and fighting desperately, and the violent roar shook the underground space.
These ten thousand ninth-level abyss demonic insects are exactly the army that Lu Yi has carefully prepared for more than six years. In fact these abyssal demonic insects have all been summoned by summoners. They are ten thousand eighth-level summoners. The earth spirit beast!
The eighth-level summoner is considered a high-level warrior, but since he has not broken through the ninth level, he has not broken through much in terms of strength. Compared with the ninth-level masters, the gap is very large, more than twice as big as the gap between the tenth level and the ninth level!
At each level three, six, and nine, the warrior's strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Therefore although these eighth-level summoners are powerful, they have not passed the ninth level, so although they are much stronger than the sixth level, their strength is not the same as that of the sixth level. They are all on the same level, the only difference is that their mental strength is much stronger and their energy is twice as much.
Ninth-level masters have always been the targets of various major forces, but this is not the case with eighth-level masters who are only one level apart. Although there is only one level difference, the eighth-level masters themselves are worth more than the ninth-level masters. More than a hundred times lower!
If someone is willing to spend 100 million gold shields to win over a ninth-level master, then one million gold shields is the limit for an eighth-level master. One million and one hundred million, this is the difference in worth between the two.
Ten thousand eighth-level summoners each summoned a ninth-level abyss demon insect. If a total of ten thousand ninth-level demon insects were placed on the surface, their powerful defense would make them almost impossible to defeat. Once they enter the underground world, even tenth-level masters will die miserably in their hands.
In the underground world, 10,000 ninth-level abyss demonic insects can easily kill 10,000 tenth-level masters. They do not need to attack by themselves. They can kill tenth-level masters at any time just by controlling the earth.Press it into meat sauce!
Of course, Lu Yi's plan is not that simple. These ten thousand abyss demon insects are not randomly selected. With the help of the Eye of God, Lu Yi will certainly make a choice.
In terms of potential, these ten thousand abyss demonic insects are all full of potential, and can be easily promoted to the tenth level. In terms of realm, they are not at the beginning of the ninth level, but in the late ninth level, only one step away from the tenth level. remote!
After three years of training, starting three years ago, abyss demonic insects have continuously broken through the ninth level and reached the early tenth level. Up to now, more than a thousand of the tens of thousands of abyssal demonic insects have broken through to the tenth level. Order! And within the next year, these 10,000 abyss demonic insects will all break through to the tenth level! By that time Lu Yi will be invincible in the underground world. Even if tenth-level masters from all over the world join forces to attack, they will not be Lu Yi's opponent in the underground world. In the underground world, King Lu Yi!
