Building a sect from scratch

As for "Quanxian King City"?

Then pay attention to the punctuation-

"Quanxian King City" should be understood as "the city where King Quanxian lives", not "the capital of the Quanxian tribe". There is an essential difference between the two!

The latter is a power center and political center equivalent to a country, while the former... is just a "residence".

After all, the king of the Quanxian tribe will not interfere in the private affairs of any clan. King Quanxian has only one task-suppress the passage leading to the Guixu Sea in the array eye until it dries up and dies, and the Quanxian tribe will spontaneously "give birth" to the next "king".

Such an existence is impossible to participate in politics, so the Quanxian tribe has not actually formed a "country" in fact, and is still in the stage of tribes and clans.

Taking advantage of this time, it is of great significance to define the clan as a "sovereign city-state"!

Elder Lu Ying, on behalf of Taiyin Sect, proposed a resource trade request including mineral and fish supply, and granted a 0 tariff rate. At the same time, only 10% was levied on luxury goods such as the mermaid silk and sea pearls exported by Xiling Clan.

"Tariff..."

Hearing a lot of completely unfamiliar words, the Xiling Clan leader did not hide and asked directly: "What does tariff mean?"

Elder Lu Ying explained: "It is a kind of tax in Taiyin Sect, similar to the head tax and agricultural tax levied on ordinary people in other sects, but our Taiyin Sect does not have head tax and agricultural tax, nor does it need to regularly hand in any spiritual herbs and plants. The lack of taxes is mostly supplemented by commercial taxes, and tariffs are a kind of commercial taxes."

The concept of "tax" does exist, but "tariffs" really do not exist in Guixu Realm. The only similar concept is called "market tax", which refers to the market tax, which often appears in the exchanges between various human chambers of commerce, business alliances and various sects.

This is actually very easy to understand. The reason why the flower-growing family had the term "tariff" in ancient times was that people at that time went through various checkpoints and checkpoints for commercial exchanges and commodity transactions. When passing through these checkpoints and checkpoints, they would be exploited by the local ruling forces. This was the earliest "tariff".

Later, with the development and improvement of the political system of human society, "tariffs" were quoted between countries. In addition to replenishing the "treasury", this tax on commercial goods also played a role in protecting local commodities and maintaining their market competitiveness.

Fang Xianyu added: "It's the market tax."

The Xiling clan leader nodded hesitantly.

It's not that she couldn't understand this concept, but she found it a little difficult to understand why Taiyin Sect specifically brought up this matter.

You know, in the Guixu Realm, where the level of civilization is at the wild governance stage, "tariffs" or market taxes are mostly "random" and "customized".

Just like the gatekeepers of the border towns in the TV series and movies who secretly withhold some of the goods entering the city to enrich their own pockets, in Guixu Realm, it is also a recognized unspoken rule that some of the goods and commodities entering the market and the city are withheld, and it is indeed the minions of the corresponding market who withhold them - of course, these minions withhold things to pay tribute to the higher level. This market operation mode and logic is the same in Blue Star, and it is no exception in Guixu Realm. Even in modern times, many places have not improved, except that this withholding has become "legal and compliant". The neighboring country America can spend millions of US dollars just to build a public toilet. And Daying is even more exaggerated, spending nearly 20 billion pounds to build a subway of more than 100 kilometers. Note that in these two examples, all expenses are "legal and compliant".

So in Guixu Realm, don't think that the market that collects market taxes will not be withheld, the world is black! After all, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts. If the manager is not given enough benefits, the things of small forces and small sects will not even be qualified to squeeze into the major chambers of commerce and merchant ships!

"Don't worry, our Taiyin Sect is absolutely upright. Tariffs are the only taxes levied on imported goods and commodities. There will be no other forms of seizure and occupation of goods and commodities. If there is private extortion, you can ask any Taiyin Sect disciple for help, just say that you have entrusted them with a task and let them report it. This matter will definitely be resolved immediately! However, I prefer to believe that this kind of thing should not happen in Taiyin Sect!"

Fang Xianyu was the first to react to the hesitation of the Xiling clan leader. She explained with an extremely confident tone.

How could I not be confident! Even if the person in charge of the Guanshi was arranged to be a native of Guixu Realm and was corrupt, there were so many players in the Shuanglanxing Realm watching, and they would never cover it up. Any player could directly stab her here, and it would not be concealed at all!

Moreover, Fang Xianyu plans to privately give a few more quotas to the Flower Planting Family project team, so that people who are capable of doing these things can do them - leaving behind talents cultivated under the modern social education system, who are checked by the state and will never betray, and using the natives of the Guixu Realm who are full of uncertainty? She is not having a brain seizure!

The Xiling clan leader still has a blank expression on his face: "The Taiyin Sect is indeed different from other human sects!"

Because the people of the Quanxian tribe are too scattered, except for the Quanxian King City and the main cities of each clan, there is basically no such thing as a "market". In many cases, transactions can even be carried out by barter, and foreign transactions , they will only act independently, and will not proceed in the form of business alliances and chambers of commerce like the human monks, sects and forces.

In fact, human monks often barter in private. For example, when the Taiyin Sect was still the Taiyin sect at the beginning, Eucommia ulmoides from the Guangcheng Sect became very happy when they saw the Broken Bone Shengji Powder in the hands of the players, and exchanged two of them for the True Fire Thunderbolt Talisman and the Fixed Wind Talisman. This kind of trading model is very common among wild monks and low-level monks, and spiritual stones are relatively more precious.

However, I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away. Although the head of the Xiling clan was not familiar with market transactions, he also knew some of the customs of human monks when doing business. Hearing Fang Xianyu's confidence, he was a little skeptical, but after leaving his words here, he just complimented him casually. ——If that can be considered a compliment.

"Fellow Taoist is overly praised,"

Elder Lu Ying quickly sensed the Quanxian clan’s speaking style and way of expressing emotions, and immediately said: “Similarly, out of the principle of fairness and reciprocity, we hope that food resources and other goods from the Taiyin Sect can enjoy a lower price. The tax rate for daily necessities and handicrafts such as knives and jewelry can also be maintained at around 10%.”

"Actually..." The expression on the head of the Xiling clan seemed to be calm, but there was a trace of confusion in her tone. She said, "Actually, our Xiling clan does not collect customs duties or market taxes..."

Fang Xianyu immediately said resolutely: "This won't work, fellow Taoist, you have to accept this! And it's best to set the rules as soon as possible, how to collect what type, and how much!"

The calm face of the Xiling clan leader showed a rare trace of doubt: "?"
