"Centralized ......"

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

It's just that the inherent concept of the strong supremacy and the strongest sect in the fantasy civilization still makes them a little unable to react.

Seeing everyone's ignorant looks, Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "The so-called centralization of power is a system with the Heavenly Palace as the backbone, and the large and small local forces attached to the Heavenly Palace as the branches and leaves, and the strong and weak branches!" ”

After a pause, Zhou Chen smiled strangely and continued: "And if you want to achieve centralized power, you have to draw most of the financial resources and resources from all places and towns under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace and gather them at the headquarters of the Heavenly Palace. And this ...... It's all about ...... Tax! ”

"Collect taxes?"

Everyone was stunned, the people sitting here were basically strong people whose strength was above the Dou King, and they only focused on cultivation all day long, and they were very unfamiliar with the so-called taxes.

There are only the two daughters of Yao Ye and Concubine Ya, who are often exposed to this aspect of content. One of the two daughters is the empress of the Gama Empire, and the other is the current patriarch of the Mitre family, and they are quite sensitive to the words money and taxes.

After all, a huge empire like the Gama Empire, with a population of tens of millions, would not be able to rely on income. Taxes to make up for the wealth. Politics. income, I'm afraid I would have been poor and bankrupt long ago.

It's just that...... The tax system implemented by the Gama Empire, in Zhou Chen's opinion, was still too simple, and compared with the advanced tax system of the main plane of the earth, it was as backward as a primitive person.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called tax collection is actually similar to the annual worship received by the sect, but the intensity is more ruthless and the attack is more fierce!"

After a pause, Zhou Chen explained lightly: "It's like the Yunlan Sect, before merging into the Heavenly Palace, there were only a thousand disciples, even if you want to recruit more disciples, you can't afford to raise them!" Why? Because the Yunlan Sect does not have the right to collect taxes directly! It all depends on the offerings of some local families. ”

"But those local clans, will they hand over all the wealth they have looted to the Yunlan Sect? Of course not! In fact, the offerings handed over to the Yunlan Sect were only a drop in the bucket they received! If it was a real crisis, would the families in these places help the Yunlan Sect? No, it won't! Even a wolf-hearted family like the Hao family would betray it blatantly! ”

"But if it's a real empire that's centralized, it's different."

Zhou Chen's mouth was dry, he took a cup of tea from the desk, took a sip lightly, and then continued: "After the reform of the Heavenly Palace, I will order to collect taxes directly from the major local family forces!" Sixty percent of the income they earn from their annual operations must be handed over to the Heavenly Palace to support the cultivation of the Heavenly Palace's powerhouses! ”

"In this way, the Heavenly Palace has ten times more gold coins, medicinal herbs, demonic beast cores, and precious minerals than it does now...... And these are the cultivation resources that are urgently needed by the powerhouses above the Dou King! ”

With a cold smile, Zhou Chen said slowly: "The cultivation of the strong depends on the cultivation and advancement, one relies on the root bone talent, and the other relies on the cultivation resources. The root bone talent is predestined by God and is difficult to change. All we can do is get more cultivation resources! ”

"Therefore, if the Heavenly Palace executes my tax order, then the cultivation resources that can be mobilized will be far 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 10,000 years! ”

After that, Zhou Chen eased his throat and said coldly: "How about it, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone: "......"

If there is an objection, no one dares to say it.

Now everyone can see that Zhou Chen was stimulated by the betrayal of the Hao family, and he was ready to be ruthless and ruthless. Sharpen these local families, weaken their strength, and in turn increase the power of the Heavenly Palace!

This made the people below feel a little uncomfortable.

Because, whether it is the royal family of the Gama Empire, or the three major families, or the Yunlan Sect, the Alchemist Guild and other forces...... In fact, it is the objects that should be taxed in Zhou Chen's mouth!

Although they are very close to Zhou Chen, in the face of interests, this closeness has also been diluted.

It was too painful for them to hand over sixty percent of their earnings and cultivation resources to the Heavenly Palace Headquarters every year. After all, everyone has selfish intentions!

After a long time, the Emperor Taishang of the Gama royal family finally couldn't help it. Relying on the relationship between Xiaoye and Zhou Chen, he boldly said as an elder: "Zhou Chen, the tax collection system you are talking about...... It seems that the whole large. On land, there is no precedent. ”

"Now there's it!" Zhou Chen smiled faintly, but his words were extremely resolute.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian still wanted to argue, but when he saw Xiao Ye on the high platform, he shook his head and signaled him not to say any more. So, the punishment day sat down dejectedly.

Sitting next to Zhou Chen, Xiao Ye understood very well that what Zhou Chen decided had not been able to change!

Seeing that it was useless to say anything, the others naturally understood Zhou Chen's intentions. But Hai Bodong, Yunshan and others didn't say a word.

They are all smart people, and they know that if the Heavenly Palace 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, Yun Shan and other Heavenly Palace Dou Sects would have more pills to cultivate.

However, at this moment, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, who was one of the three major families in the imperial capital, was a little ignorant of current affairs and said: "It's not impossible to collect taxes within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. It's just that...... I'm afraid that the local families in the thousands of cities within the empire will not agree! ”

"Of course they won't agree. After all, Tiangong is robbing them of their cake! Grab their net worth! ”

Zhou Chen stood up, the teacup in his hand turned slightly, raised his head, and said indifferently: "However, I haven't asked their opinions!" ”

"Bang!"

Before the words fell, the teacup in Zhou Chen's hand was slammed by him, making everyone tremble for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen's face turned cold, and he said murderously: "Without the use of force, how can those local families who are accustomed to acting as powerful and blessed obediently pay taxes?" Hand over 60% of the proceeds? ”

"From today on, from within the Heavenly Palace, one hundred Douwang powerhouses, twenty Douhuang powerhouses, and then 50,000 people from the millions of troops in the Gama Empire will be streamlined to form the Heavenly Palace Tax Legion! With Ebi as the commander-in-chief! Within the territory of the Heavenly Palace, any local family and sectarian forces that dare to resist taxes must be wiped out and all suppressed! ”

Hearing Zhou Chen's murderous words, everyone below stood up with some fear and said respectfully: "Obey the holy order!" ”

Everyone got up to receive the order, and suddenly someone asked, "The three empires of Izumo, Mulan and Luoyan have not yet been completely pacified, and they are also included in the scope of taxation of the tax legion?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled coldly and said without hesitation: "Nonsense! Not to mention the three major empires, in a few years, the entire Northwest will be big. Lu, and even the whole vindictive. All the forces on the land have to pay taxes to my Heavenly Palace, otherwise they will be killed! ”
