Mix in Douluo to raise plants

When the Shrek Academy group entered the city, they happened to usher in the morning market of Tiandou Imperial City. The shops on both sides of the street were filled with people. People were coming and going on the street. There were constant sounds of hawking and bargaining, and there were a lot of people selling various foods and flowers. The aromas mix together to form a strange smell that is very pungent, but very enjoyable.

"Well, it's so prosperous!" Ma Hongjun looked at the crowds outside the car window and couldn't help but sigh. He looked around and suddenly discovered something strange. He pointed to the door of a shop and asked Qin Ming: " Senior Qin Ming, I found a problem. It seems that stores with this kind of logo have many customers, but shops without this kind of logo have very few customers. If I remember correctly, it should be the logo of the Sun Chamber of Commerce. , but the Sun Chamber of Commerce doesn’t specialize in selling grains, fruits and vegetables, so why do that clothing store, that restaurant, that Qingdao… all have the Sun Chamber of Commerce’s logo on them?”

Qin Ming looked at the direction of his finger. On a side of bright red brocade, there was a fully bloomed sunflower embroidered on it. He sighed, with a sad look on his face, and said: "A few months ago, the royal family issued a decree , all shops with the Sun Chamber of Commerce will have their taxes reduced to the original seven levels."

"What! Just hanging a flag can reduce so much tax! Then why don't other stores hang it?"

In addition to being the No. [-] auxiliary soul master sect in the Douluo Continent, the Qibao Glazed Sect is also the richest sect. Ning Rongrong is also familiar with the issue of paying taxes. She knows a little bit about it, and she has tax reductions in her mind. Three-tier concept.

"It's not that easy. You can't just hang the flag of the Sun Chamber of Commerce." Qin Ming shook his head and said, "I have a business friend who said that if you want to fly the flag of the Sun Chamber of Commerce, you have to join the Sun Chamber of Commerce. , you have to pay a fee every year to become a member of the Chamber of Commerce. It is said that there are four levels of membership within the Sun Chamber of Commerce."

"Class A members need to pay 100 million gold soul coins every year, Class B members need 50, Class C members 25, Class D members need [-], just the lowest Class D members need [-] gold soul coins, those small How can a small shop afford this?"

"100 million! 50! How could someone spend so much money to become a member of a chamber of commerce!" Flanders, who was very sensitive to money, stared at Qin Ming with wide eyes as if he was listening to a fairy tale.

Qin Mingdao: "Dean, you are wrong. Let alone 100 million, even if it is 200 million, 300 million or even 500 million, there are many people who want to join the Sun Chamber of Commerce and become members. It is just a monthly membership of the Sun Chamber of Commerce. The quotas are all fixed, and it is said that some are auctioned in auction houses. I am only talking about the apparent price. A real quota cannot be bought at the basic price. "

"Why, why do you spend so much money to buy a place just for tax deductions? Wouldn't that be an even bigger loss?" Flanders asked again.

Qin Ming explained: "Becoming a member of the Sun Chamber of Commerce is not only tax relief, but in recent years the royal family has issued many encouraging laws for flying the flag of the Sun Chamber of Commerce, and members of the Sun Chamber of Commerce are said to have many high-quality benefits, such as The purchase qualifications for the top-quality sun rice will give you spiritual fruit and elixir every month. For members whose families have children who can become soul masters, they will also be provided with help in hunting soul rings. These are only superficial benefits. There may be other things we don’t know about. There are many, and the higher the level, the more benefits you enjoy.”

"This... Who is this Sun Chamber of Commerce? How can it make so much money!" Flanders gritted his teeth, as if he had discovered a new world. When he thought about the two gold soul coins he calculated every day, his eyes were filled with jealousy. , asked Qin Ming: "According to what you said, the Sun Chamber of Commerce has become a terrible money-sucking monster. Isn't there any other force that can stop it?"

Qin Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Dean, you are thinking too much. How can you stop it? The members of the Sun Chamber of Commerce now include more than [-]% of the nobles and officials in the Tiandou Empire, as well as some soul master sects and soul master academies. We also cooperate with them secretly, just like our Tiandou Royal Academy also has a deep cooperation with the Sun Chamber of Commerce. It is now like a huge spider web, sticking everyone's interests to it, and it will be affected by it. whole body."

He glanced at Flanders, then peeked outside a few times, and then said mysteriously: "Furthermore, it is said that the person behind the Sun Chamber of Commerce is the current Crown Prince. In the past two months, there have been reports of snow in the palace. Emperor Ye is feeling unwell. Although he may not leave immediately, old age is destiny and cannot be violated by manpower. The prince may be crowned emperor in a few years. Who will stop the Sun Chamber of Commerce at this time? Isn’t that making yourself uncomfortable?”

When they were in Soto City before, Shrek and everyone had seen shops flying the flag of the Sun Chamber of Commerce, but there were not many of those shops, at least compared to the scene in Tiandou Imperial City where nine of the ten shops hung the flag. Very little, so they didn't pay any attention to it.

Now after listening to Qin Ming's description, everyone's mind suddenly emerged with the image of a terrifying big spider. That spider was weaving a huge web, sticking everyone to it, and hollowing out everyone. He put all the soul coins into his pocket, and on the face of the spider was the face of Prince Tiandou whom he had never met before.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing their frightened looks, Qin Ming smiled and said: "You don't have to think too much. Don't have a bad impression of the Sun Chamber of Commerce because of what I said. I am just because my friends are in the Sun Chamber of Commerce." Due to the overcrowding, we can no longer engage in business and we just have some complaints about it. The Sun Chamber of Commerce is not without its good points."

"The Sun Chamber of Commerce has made everyone's money, how can there be any good places?"

Flanders crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly. In his mind, buckets of gold soul coins appeared in piles, but unfortunately none of them belonged to him.

Qin Ming said: "Although the Sun Chamber of Commerce has made all the money, they also spend a lot of money every year to help the country with construction. Just like now, don't you find that the road we are taking is more stable than before we entered the city? These are all the things the Sun The Chamber of Commerce paid for the repairs, and I heard that there is a Sun Church above the Sun Chamber of Commerce."

"The Church of the Sun has built many churches in villages far away from the city. It has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to provide learning conditions for rural children and has improved the lives of many rural families. It is said that most of the civilian homes in the countryside now have The statues of the Sun God, the supreme god of the Sun Church, are enshrined, and followers of the Sun Church have begun to appear in some cities."

"Ah, it turns out they are those magicians!" Flanders exclaimed.

Everyone in Shrek looked at him at the same time, and the master asked: "Flanders, do you know it?"

Flanders scratched his head and said with a smile: "Before you came, a group of ordinary people came to the village to build a church. They said that as long as the villagers joined the church, they would be provided with food and taught them to increase food production. They were chattering away every day and were quite noisy. I thought they were an eyesore, so I drove them away."

"That's it~"

Qin Ming glanced at Flanders. Everyone stopped mentioning the Church of the Sun. They walked quietly all the way to the door of a hotel.

Everyone got out of the car and saw that it was a hotel. They looked at Qin Ming doubtfully.

Qin Ming explained: "Dean, fellow students, please stay here for the time being. I need to report to the school about enrolling in Tiandou Royal Academy first. After all, I am not the one who can make the decision in the academy." , but I think with the strength of all the students and teachers, I think the college has no reason to reject you. I will inform you as soon as I get the news."

After listening to his explanation, Flanders nodded and said, "Okay, then we will wait here for your news."

After Qin Ming left, everyone in Shrek looked up at the hotel sign, Noble Hotel. Next to the sign hung a flag of the Sun Chamber of Commerce.

Pooh.

Flanders spat, with a look of disgust on his face. When he thought about himself as a soul saint, in order to maintain the small family of Shrek Academy, he had to lower his profile and engage in low-level business, making little money, and then he thought about the Sun Chamber of Commerce. This huge money-attracting behemoth felt unreasonable unhappiness in his heart. He turned to the others and said, "Let's go and stay in another hotel. The decoration of this hotel is too tacky."

"Are you jealous that the Sun Chamber of Commerce can make so much money?" The master knew his old friend's temperament and said speechlessly.

Flanders was not embarrassed after being exposed by Yu Xiaogang. He looked up and looked away, looking for the next hotel.

The street that Qin Ming took them to was the hotel gathering area of ​​Tiandou Imperial City. Within a few seconds, the plaque of the next hotel appeared in Flanders's eyes. His eyes flashed and he said: "That hotel OK, let’s go there.”

After saying that, he was about to leave. Xiao Wu observed carefully and pointed out the Sun Chamber of Commerce flag placed in the side corner of the hotel.

Flanders' face darkened, he put down his raised heels and looked away.

The second house, the third house...

After finding a dozen restaurants, all of which had the Sun Chamber of Commerce's logo on them, Flanders' pupils revealed a look of despair.

The master ignored him and called to his companions: "Okay, don't change. It will be bad if Qin Ming can't find anyone by then. Let's go in."

There was no other way, so Flanders could only follow them dejectedly into the hotel.

Seeing that he lowered his head and showed no intention of taking the initiative to open a room, everyone suddenly realized, my dear, it turns out that the dean is waiting for us here!

Flanders laughed secretly, you thought I was on the first floor, but I was actually on the fifth floor.

Although everyone came out together, staying in a hotel together was not part of the plan. The college's budget is not enough, so you have to pay for it yourself.

Everyone was speechless for a while, but they were well aware of the dean's stinginess. After discussion, it was decided that Ning Rongrong, the young rich woman, would pay out the money first, and then everyone would chip in and give it to her.

Zhu Zhuqing took Ning Rongrong's arm and came to the front desk of the hotel and asked the maid at the front desk if there was enough room. After learning that there was, he handed over the money and got the key.

Just when Zhu Zhuqing was about to get the key that the maid placed in front of the counter, a rough hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed, and he retracted his hand like lightning, staring at the owner of the arm.

He was a dark-skinned man with a short head, over two meters tall, and a burly build. He was wearing a white vest, and his arms were muscular and thick.

"Hello, beauty. I met a fortune teller when I went out today. He told me that I would meet the destined person. I didn't expect that I would meet him here. Let's make friends!"

Zhu Zhuqing's sharp eyes did not make the man flinch. On the contrary, it gave him some confidence. The man raised the corners of his mouth, revealing two rows of flawless white teeth, and said with a chuckle.

Zhu Zhuqing's complexion changed slightly, and she looked at the man with disgust.

At this time, a white figure flashed past and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing. It was Dai Mubai who had changed his past and wanted to restore his image in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

"Zhuqing, are you okay?"

Dai Mubai turned his head and asked softly.

Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment and shook his head.

Dai Mubai glanced at her, and after confirming with his own eyes that she was fine, he turned back and stared at the tall, dark-skinned young man in front of him.

"Hey kid, get out of my way, you're blocking me from making friends with that little beauty."

The short-haired young man frowned, looked at Dai Mubai sideways, and then said with a disdainful smile.

Dai Mubai's evil eyes showed a fierce light, and he clenched his fists. If he hadn't considered it, he was new here and didn't want to cause trouble to his companions, he would have punched him.

He glared at the short-haired young man, turned around and took the opportunity to grab Zhu Zhuqing's arm, wanting to lead her and Ning Rongrong back to the team.

But a hand reached out from behind and held his shoulder.

"Hey kid, I asked you to get out of the way, but I didn't tell you to take these two beautiful girls away!"

Dai Mubai turned his head and looked at the hand on his shoulder, unable to bear it anymore.

At this time, Flanders, who was watching the excitement at the door, touched his eyes and sneered: "Dai Mubai, you have not forgotten the purpose of our Shrek Academy. You are mediocre if you dare not cause trouble. Don't worry about taking action."

His words seemed to untie Dai Mubai's body. A burst of white light shone out from Dai Mubai's body. Then the long sleeves of his arms suddenly bulged, and several muscle lines were squeezed out. He grabbed and pressed him. With the hand on his shoulder, he turned around and struck an uppercut, hitting the short-haired young man on the chin.

Click.

Snapped.

There was a crisp sound of bones colliding, and the young man flew out, hit the wall, and slowly slid down.

"Who do you think I am? I dare to be so arrogant. I didn't expect that I am just a little gangster."

Seeing that the blow was successful, Dai Mubai couldn't help but act cool. He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity. If he punished this little gangster who wanted to bully Zhu Zhuqing, in Zhu Zhuqing's heart, his own The image should be able to change badly.

He sneered, cracked his knuckles and made a clicking sound, and walked towards the short-haired young man.

He just took three or four steps when he stopped because the face of the short-haired young man was not right. A normal person's face should have an expression of pain or anger after being beaten away.

But the short-haired young man still had that cynical smile on his face, and his huge eyes were shaped like crescent moons. He looked at Dai Mubai like a child looking at the exquisite toys in the store cabinet.

Among the Shrek crowd, Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light, and he immediately reminded Dai Mubai: "Boss Dai, be careful, something is wrong with this guy."

Dai Mubai naturally knew that something was wrong with him, because the moment he raised his head and stared at him, Dai Mubai felt as if he had returned to the Star Forest. There was a thick bush in front of him. He pushed aside the bush and happened to face a pair of lurking people. The blood-eyed beast in the bush.

He shouted low, raised his foot and kicked it with such force that it made the air roar. If this kick hit the wall, it would definitely leave a deep mark on the wall.

But the reality is that his kick was held down by the short-haired young man lightly raising his hand.

The short-haired young man's five fingers were bent like iron hooks, and when he was about to close them to catch Dai Mubai's feet, Dai Mubai increased the force under his feet and rebounded, rolled around in the air, and landed smoothly.

After his toes touched the ground, he roared angrily, and a violent tiger roar resounded throughout the hotel hall. The robe on his upper body was torn into pieces by his stretched body and fluttered in the air. White hair grew on his skin, and there were black hair patterns. Black stripes appeared, and his head shook, turning into a ferocious evil tiger head.

"Hey, boy, in this city, soul masters are not allowed to use their martial souls to fight privately. Young people must consider the consequences of their actions~"

Facing the astonishingly powerful Dai Mubai, the short-haired young man stood up, casually patted the dust on his butt, and said lightly.

"Showing weakness? Begging for mercy!"

Dai Mubai thought that the other party was scared and wanted to beg for mercy. He sneered twice, took back his martial spirit, and was about to say something taunting. Suddenly, a fist was enlarged in front of him.

In an instant, Dai Mubai felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and all the scenery disappeared and darkened at a certain moment. When he woke up, he was lying on the ground, and the severe pain coming from his face told him what happened, that he had been attacked.

"Boss Dai!"

Ma Hongjun twisted his butt and hurriedly came over to help Dai Mubai up. Other Shrek teachers and students also immediately gathered around the young man, glaring at him angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to look at me like this. I'm just avenging him for sneak-attacking me."

"Don't think that you can bully me because of the strength of the people. I am quite confident in my physical fitness. You are old and weak, children and girls. Don't force me to take action. I I’m afraid I’ll kneel down later and beg you not to die.”

"Still, you are planning to use your soul power. Hehe, let me remind you that this is the Tiandou Imperial City. Under the Emperor's feet, if a soul master uses his soul power to fight privately, he is violating the law and will be subject to the laws of the Empire and the Spirit Hall. The crime is not small, or if you are desperadoes and don’t take the Imperial Code and the Spirit Hall’s laws seriously, then just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Even if he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, the young man was not afraid at all and spoke eloquently, not afraid of the Shrek crowd at all.

Everyone in Shrek has never been so angry before. On weekdays, they always bully others when they go out. Why are they being bullied when they first come to Tiandou Imperial City? This must not happen.

Flanders thought to himself, he turned his head to look at Zhao Wuji, raised his eyebrows and signaled.

Zhao Wuji nodded and was about to stand up.

A voice came from the side.

"Let me take care of him."

Everyone looked around and saw Tang San walking out with his chest held high and his head raised, his face stern and his words filled with a confident confidence.

Zao Wuji was stunned for a moment and looked at Flanders, who frowned. At this moment, the master's hand slapped on Zao Wuki's shoulder, and the master's calm voice came.

"Believe me, Xiaosan, everyone step back and make room for them."

After hearing what the master said, everyone nodded and retreated, giving Tang San the highest trust. They believed that since Tang San dared to stand up, he would be sure to win.

But no one noticed that the curvature of the corners of the short-cut young man's mouth seemed to be higher.
