() The headquarters of the Kassingler Adventure Group in Nulon City is located on a street to the west of the Arena. This area is in the heart of the trading center and ordinary residential areas. On the contrary, it does not appear to be very lively. Most of the people are coming and going.

They are all members of the Kasingler Adventure Group.

As the top leader of the Kassingler Adventure Group in Nulon City, deputy leader Pelli Zuo has been staying at the headquarters for a long time. He has nothing else to do and always sits here.

Very good facilities have been built here, such as a training ground, so Pellizuo lives here a lot of time. Usually in the afternoon, he is doing some training, such as training as a spiritual master, and practicing some spells.

At this stage, almost all the spells you practice have to be explored by yourself. The spell scroll that touches the origin of the spell is

The price of very expensive spells, let alone those with the same attributes that can be used by him, is absolutely terrifying. Pellizo is not so extravagant as to use spell scrolls. He usually

Exploring spells by yourself will lead to very slow practice, but it is also a method commonly used by powerful people of the same level on the mainland.

In order to improve his strength, he spent half of the day practicing, especially in the afternoon.

But this afternoon, I was destined to be unable to practice normally.

"Lord Pellizo! Lord Pellizo!"

"What's wrong? You're in a panic!" Pellizuo, who was disturbed, was obviously in a bad mood, but he also knew that his subordinates had nothing to do and couldn't disturb him: "What's wrong?"

"It's news from Gar's spiritual division..."

"Oh? Their news?" Paley became interested and asked: "What news? How many Hill taxes have they received?" This was obviously sarcasm.

"No, Mr. Pellizuo! It's the Charlie Merchant Group, and the foreign merchants in the Helburn area... I don't know why, but those people have been going to the military's tax department to pay taxes since the morning..."

"What?"

Pellizuo looked in disbelief, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure this is not a joke?" Of course, how could his men joke with him, but Pellizuo was too surprised, "Didn't I ask you to win over those guys? Charlie Shang

Group? How is it possible..."

"Sir, we specially warned those business groups, including the Charlie Business Group, but they are local strength, and even we can't interfere too much. It was originally said well, but I don't know why the military's tax department has just opened

When the time came, they went to pay taxes!”

"Where are the outside traders from Helburn?"

"Same! These guys always like to escape taxes, but this time for some reason, they are all rushing to Wigan to pay taxes... It's really strange."

Pelli frowned tightly. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know the reason. He could only grit his teeth and said: "Go and check! I want to know the reason! I don't believe that these guys who often evade taxes will suddenly wake up!"

"Yes, yes, sir!" The subordinate stumbled away.

Pellizuo no longer had the intention to continue training, he was thinking about this matter.

Charlie Merchant Group...

It could also be the Charlie family. The Charlie family is very influential in Newlon City, but it doesn’t matter how strong they are. In fact, their size is similar to that of the big business groups. Their business in Newlon City is the largest, except for

The influence of Newlon City is not great, but they are the New York City

The local business groups in Lun City have a deep foundation of power at both the bottom and the top. Even the Kassingler Adventure Group does not like to deal with them, because this business group is completely a local snake in New Lun City, and its strength is not outstanding.

, but there are many methods and a wide range of influence.

Such a difficult business group often evades taxes. Even if they catch the Kassingler Adventure Group, they will collect more taxes as punishment and dare not take any other actions.

Will the Wigan Business Group take the initiative to pay taxes?

What a joke!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! They don’t even give face to the Kassingler Adventure Group, so how can they care about the Gar Spiritualist troops who have just moved into Nulon City?

Pellizo was very confused... As for the foreign merchants in the Helburn area, he was even more confused.

These foreign merchants are a considerable force. Although they are not a large business group, not even a small business group, these people are quite influential, because most of them are adventuring in various places in the Gal Empire.

Representative of the group.

When the adventure group gets something, they will send people to transport it to Newlon City for trading. These people are concentrated in the Helburn area. This area is closer to Newlon City than to Wigan Town. The location is very good. Of course,

That refers to the area outside Newlon.

As these foreign merchants in the Helburn area are representatives of various adventure groups, they often have some surprising things in their hands and have some connections with various business groups. Most of the transactions are conducted privately, Cassin

The Gullah Adventure Group couldn't find it even if they wanted to. Many people couldn't even pay taxes once a year... How could they take the initiative to pay taxes?

The Charlie family and outside merchants in the Helburn area...

What do the two have in common? They both belong to forces that like to evade taxes. But other than this, there is no similarity at all. How can the two forces bow to the military and pay taxes at the same time?

Pellizuo thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He could only wait and start investigating.

…

At the same time, next to the military branch, there was a lot of excitement in front of the military tax department, which had just been converted from two pharmaceutical shops.

Kulonta, who was sitting inside, was really happy when he saw this situation. This was completely different from the beginning.

Although this place is on the highway leading to Nulon City, and many caravans pass through here on their way to Nulon City, it was so deserted yesterday that not a single caravan stopped here to pay taxes.

Today is different.

Many 'small traders' came to pay taxes on their own initiative. At first, Kulonta thought these were small traders and didn't pay much attention to them. But after they produced some receipts for goods transactions and those goods that were not sold, Kulonta looked at them.

I was dumbfounded---

A lot of intermediate spirit stones...

All kinds of weird and weird spiritual animal skins...

Many strange magic scrolls...

Some mysterious weapons that have been deposited for hundreds of years are still emitting light...

An extremely rare pharmaceutical material that grows in dangerous places...

Any of these things are worth a lot of money, but they all have one characteristic, that is, the price cannot be accurately assessed at all, and the amount of tax to be charged is not fixed.

All in all, it’s very complicated…

Kulunta obviously underestimated these 'small traders'. These outside traders in the Helburn area can form an extraordinary influence in Newlon City. They cannot just be called 'small traders'. Each of them has some characteristics.

background.

That afternoon, Kulonta was worried about how much tax these people should pay.

Lynch's arrival soon solved this problem for him.

"Master Lynch!"

As soon as Lin Qi arrived, all the eyes in the hall were focused on him. The foreign merchants who came to pay taxes also noticed this military leader. They had long heard that a young leader had come to the military.

But I didn't expect that he was too young.

He is not yet twenty years old...

No matter what they guessed, their first reaction when seeing Lynch was to ask about the military's commitment. A middle-aged man with some status among the foreign merchants stood up and asked: "Are you Mr. Lynch?" There was respect in his words.

It doesn't mean much.

Lynch just nodded.

"I heard that the tax vouchers issued by the military are common throughout the Gal Empire. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Kulonta was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly realized why so many foreign merchants actually took the initiative to come here to pay taxes! He had never thought of this problem before and had always been surprised by it, but now, he understood it.

It turns out that it was this young leader who broke the news!

A national tax certificate!

So that’s it!

Kulunta's eyes lit up immediately. Only now did he realize that the military's tax collection has this benefit. So that's it... You know, the military can indeed have this guarantee, and other forces, at least with the strength of Nulon City,

It is absolutely impossible to guarantee this. The difference lies in the influence of the two in the entire Gal Empire.

There are only so many forces in Nulon City, including hundreds of spiritual masters. However, when it comes to the entire Gal Empire, the influence of the Gar Spiritualist Army is much greater, because no matter where it is,

You can find the power of the Gar Spiritualist Army. With all these bits and pieces of strength gathered together, it is definitely not comparable to the Kasingler Adventure Group.

If the tax vouchers issued can pass through the entire Gal Empire, these foreign merchants will definitely rush to pay taxes. Although they can evade taxes, it is only temporary. Many transactions can evade taxes, but they cannot avoid the tax collection department.

'Bribery' can be completely described with this word.

For example, if a small amount of goods is transported from the border of the Gal Empire to the city of Nulon, you must pay a certain tax every time you pass through a city. This is a clear rule, because many cities are controlled by various adventure groups. If you venture to Kassinger

The group has paid taxes, but other adventure groups don't accept it and still have to pay taxes. These external merchants transport a batch of goods. I don't know how many times such "bribes" have to be carried out. Added together, the losses will definitely be greater than the normal tax losses.

Much bigger.

However, it is not possible to pay taxes normally, because other cities do not recognize Newlon City’s tax certificates at all.

If the military can make this guarantee, it will be completely different. For example, now they pay taxes at the military tax department, and when they go to other cities, they directly take out the tax certificates issued by the military. As for not recognizing it? Go to the military to reason.

…

Who dares to cause trouble for the spiritual master troops in an open and honest manner? Saying that the certificate issued by the military does not work?

That was an edict from Her Royal Highness the Queen, and the military was qualified to collect taxes! And the military's power penetrated every corner of the Gal Empire... With such a voucher, no matter which city you go to, there will be no trouble with the goods, and these foreign merchants will

How could we not rush to pay taxes... No one had thought of this before, not even Kulonta, his

He had always focused on Nulon City, but he never expected that in any case, Lynch is also the leader of the military, and the taxes he collects benefit the military. The more taxes he receives, the better for the Galling Division troops.

The more talent there is, the royal family will also benefit. With this kind of benefit guaranteed, it is strange that other military leaders do not support Lynch's actions.

Naturally, the military can give a guarantee.

Kulunta couldn't help but take another high look at Lin Qi. This young man was not only good at cultivation, but also brilliant at what he did. He was even smarter than the "old headliner" like him...
