Chapter 613 Centralization, tax collection!
"centralization……"

As soon as this fresh term was uttered, everyone present fell into deep thought.Many people have vaguely guessed what Zhou Chen meant.

It's just that the inherent concept of the strong first and the strongest sect in the fantasy civilization still makes them a little overwhelmed.

Seeing everyone's ignorance, Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "The so-called centralization is a system with Tiangong as the backbone and local forces attached to Tiangong as branches, strong and weak!"

After a pause, Zhou Chen smiled strangely, and continued: "If you want to achieve centralization, you must transfer most of the financial resources and resources from various places and towns under the jurisdiction of Tiangong to the headquarters of Tiangong. And this... We have to rely on... to collect taxes!"

"Taxation?"

Everyone was stunned. The people sitting here were basically strong men above Dou Wang. They only focused on cultivation all day long and were very unfamiliar with the so-called taxes.

Only the two daughters, Yaoye and Yafei, are often exposed to this aspect.One of the two daughters is the empress of the Jia Ma Empire, and the other is the current patriarch of the Mittel family. They are quite sensitive to words like money and taxes.

After all, if a huge empire like the Gama Empire, with a population of tens of millions, did not rely on tax collection to make up for its fiscal revenue, it would probably be so poor that it would go bankrupt.

It's just... the tax system implemented by the Jia Ma Empire, in Zhou Chen's view, is still too crude, and compared with the advanced tax system on the main plane of the earth, it is as backward as primitive people.

"Everyone, the so-called tax collection is actually similar to the offerings that the sect accepts every year, but the force is more ruthless, and the attack must be more violent!"

After a pause, Zhou Chen explained lightly: "It's like the Misty Cloud Sect. Before it was merged into the Tiangong, there were only a thousand disciples. Even if they wanted to recruit more disciples, they couldn't afford it! Why? Because the Misty Yunzong didn't directly accept them. The right to tax! It all depends on the offerings of some local families."

"But those local big clans, will they hand over all the wealth they plundered to the Misty Cloud Sect? Of course not! In fact, the offerings to the Misty Yunzong are just a drop in the bucket of what they get! If it is really in danger, these Will the local families help the Misty Cloud Sect? No! Even a wolf-hearted family like the Hao family will brazenly betray them!"

"However, if it is a real empire with centralized power, it will be different."

Zhou Chen's mouth was dry, he took a cup of tea from the desk, took a sip, and then continued: "After the Tiangong is restructured, I will issue an order to collect taxes directly from the major local family forces! Their annual operating income Sixty percent of the income will be handed over to Tiangong to support the cultivation of the strong in Tiangong!"

"In this way, the Tiangong will have ten and a hundred times more gold coins, medicinal materials, monster cores, precious minerals...and these are the training resources that are urgently needed by the powerful Dou Wang and above!"

With a cold smile, Zhou Chen said slowly: "For the strong to advance through cultivation, one depends on the talent of the root bone, and the other depends on the resources of the cultivation. The talent of the root bone is destined by God and it is difficult to change it. All we can do is to get more Cultivation resources!"

"Therefore, if Tiangong implements my tax order, the cultivation resources that can be mobilized will be ten times and a hundred times more than before! And cultivation resources are the foundation for cultivating a large number of strong people and laying a foundation for thousands of years!"

After all, Zhou Chen slowed down his voice, and said coldly: "How about it, do you have any objections?"

Everyone: "..."

There are objections, and no one dares to say it.

Now everyone can see that Zhou Chen was stimulated by the Hao family's betrayal, and was ready to ruthlessly exploit these local families, weakening their strength, and in turn strengthening the power of Tiangong!

This made the people below feel a little uncomfortable.

Because, whether it is the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, or the three major families, or the forces of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Alchemist Guild, etc... In fact, they are the ones Zhou Chen said should be taxed!

Although they are all very close to Zhou Chen, this closeness has faded in the face of interests.

It is too painful to ask them to hand over [-]% of their income and training resources to the Tiangong headquarters every year.After all, everyone has selfish motives!

After a long time, the Supreme Emperor of the Jia Ma royal family added Xing Tian, ​​and finally couldn't bear it anymore.Relying on the relationship between Yaoye and Zhou Chen, he boldly said as an elder: "Zhou Chen, the tax collection system you mentioned... seems to have no precedent in the entire continent. "

"Then there is now!" Zhou Chen smiled lightly, but his words were extremely firm.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian wanted to argue, but Yao Ye on the high platform shook his head, signaling him not to speak anymore.So, Jia Xingtian sat down dejectedly.

Yao Ye, who was sitting next to Zhou Chen, understood very well that what Zhou Chen had decided could not be changed!
Seeing that Jia Xingtian's words were useless, the others naturally understood Zhou Chen's intentions.But Hai Bodong, Yun Shan and others did not say a word.

They are all smart people. Knowing that Tiangong is strong, they will definitely not be able to treat themselves badly.

Just like Hai Bodong, he wished that the Heavenly Palace and the local government would collect more taxes, so that he and Yunshan and other Heavenly Palace Douzong would have more pills for cultivation.

However, at this moment, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, one of the three major families in the imperial capital, said a little ignorant of current affairs: "It is not impossible to collect taxes within the jurisdiction of Tiangong. It's just... within the territory of the empire." The local families in thousands of cities will probably not agree!"

"Of course they won't agree. After all, Tiangong is robbing them of their cake! robbing their wealth and interests!"

Zhou Chen stood up, twirling the teacup in his hand, raised his head, and said indifferently: "However, I never asked for their opinions!"

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chen slammed the tea cup in his hand, making everyone tremble with fear.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen's face turned cold and he said with murderous intent: "Without armed force, how can those local families who are used to being domineering and arrogant pay taxes? Hand over [-]% of their income?"

"From today onwards, from within Tiangong, one hundred Douwang powerhouses and twenty Douhuang powerhouses will be drawn, and 5 people will be streamlined from the millions of Jia Ma Empire's army to form the Tiangong Taxation Corps! Elder Hai will be in charge. Commander! In Tiangong, any local families and sects that dare to resist taxes will be wiped out and suppressed!"

After hearing Zhou Chen's murderous words, everyone below stood up in fear and said respectfully: "I will obey the holy order!"

Everyone stood up to take orders, and suddenly someone asked again: "The three empires of Izumo, Mulan and Luoyan have not been completely settled yet, are they also included in the scope of tax collection by the Taxation Corps?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled coldly, and said without hesitation: "Nonsense! Let alone the Three Great Empires, in a few years, the entire Northwest Continent, and even the entire Douqi Continent, will have to Pay my Tiangong tax, or shoot me to death!"
