2716 Chapter 2716-direct tax exemption
Recently, Chen Xiaobei had spent more than 200 million merit points on spirit-Slayer talismans and heavenly dog biscuits!
In addition to that, Chen Xiaobei’s luck had dropped again!
Recently, merit points had become one of the things that Chen Xiaobei needed the most!
If he only went out and did not go in, Chen Xiaobei’s merit points would be completely depleted!
At this moment, the war was over, and the interior was peaceful! The war between the royal city of beixuan and the main city of huge axe city had ended!
It was at this time that the heavenly axiom bestowed merit points to Chen Xiaobei as a reward for his contribution!
[ ding! You have ended the war. You have been rewarded with 2 billion merit points! ]
[ ding! You have protected the people of the world. You have been rewarded with 2 billion merit points! ]
– your current merit points are 7.6155 billion.(Charm: 761.55 million, luck: 761.55 million!
[ding! Congratulations! You have been promoted to a second-life Emperor!]
Stopping the war completely and protecting the innocent people from harm-these two contributions had brought Chen Xiaobei four billion merit points!
It was simply so good that it exploded!
“That’s strange …”
Even though he was feeling great, Chen Xiaobei had a question in his mind.”Back then, brother Ying Zheng destroyed the six Dynasties and unified the world, and directly became the Emperor of nine people! “And the number of people I’m protecting this time far exceeds the number of people he protected back then! Why am I the only one who can reach the second-level renhuang?”
“The merit points for stopping a war can not be calculated by the number of people! It’s to see if you can protect all living beings and stay away from war for a long time!”
“You may have ended the war between the royal city of beixuan and the main city of huge axe city,” Jiang Ziya said. However, these two cities still faced the threat of other Wars! It won’t be long before another war erupts with other forces!”
“I understand!”
Chen Xiaobei was very smart and immediately understood, ” “What I’m stopping now is just a war! After this battle, there were still countless more battles! The common people were still not absolutely safe! This kind of truce is temporary and incomplete!”
only by completely unifying the ‘world’ like brother Ying Zheng, so that all the wars will never break out again! This was a long-term truce! A complete ceasefire! Only then would he be able to obtain a vast amount of merit points! He became the Emperor of nine lives!”
It was obvious that the true meaning of unification was that there would be no more enemies and no more wars in this world!
Without unity, there would be enemies and Wars!
Because of this, Chen Xiaobei’s decision to stop the war was, in fact, far inferior to Ying Zheng’s! The merit points he received were naturally far inferior!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was still very satisfied with the result!
After all, this battle wasn’t difficult, but the gains were huge! No matter how he looked at it, Chen Xiaobei was not losing anything!
As for the merit points, as the war continued, they would only continue to rise!
Chen Xiaobei could slowly accumulate his points, he did not need to become a fatty in one go!
Moreover, Chen Xiaobei had only received the merit for stopping the war and protecting the people. If he could let the people live and work in peace for a long time, he would have fulfilled his merit and would be able to receive an even more generous amount of merit!
“Mr. Mondo!”
Chen Xiaobei asked, ” “You know huge axe city the best! Is there any way for the people to receive my gift in the fastest time possible and feel true happiness?”
“Tax reduction!”
Old Mondo said in a deep voice,”as the saying goes, demanding taxes is fiercer than a Tiger!” During medesio’s time, great axe city imposed a heavy tax of 30% to 70%! For every ten spirit stones the commoners earn, they have to hand over seven to the government!”
“As long as Your Majesty can reduce taxes appropriately, the people will immediately get real benefits and be grateful to Your Majesty from the bottom of their hearts! With medesio as a comparison, the people will definitely cherish His Majesty’s gift more!”
At this point, old Mondo suddenly hesitated and quickly said in a low voice,”Of course, taxes are an important source of income for every main city! If your Majesty is not well off, you can postpone the tax reduction policy!”
Cutting off one’s path to wealth was like killing one’s parents!
The reason why old Mondo suddenly changed his words was that he was afraid that Chen Xiaobei would be unhappy!
After all, taxes were the most important source of income for any ruler of a main city. It was also the core lifeline for a large force to operate and grow!
Old Mondo’s tax reduction policy was definitely the best way to make the people feel happy and quickly acknowledge Chen Xiaobei!
But this method would definitely shake Chen Xiaobei’s economic lifeline! To rulers, this was a great taboo!
“Yes, I don’t plan on reducing taxes!” Said Chen Xiaobei after some thought.
of course! old Mondo nodded and said, ” Your Majesty has just started the war, and your finances are tight. This is completely reasonable. Just pretend that I never mentioned my tax reduction proposal! We’ll just have to think of another way!”
“No need!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, ” I won’t reduce taxes. I’ll be directly tax-free!
“What? Tax exemption?”
When old Mondo heard that, he was instantly dumbfounded and could not believe his ears!
One had to know that from ancient times to the present, no matter how Sage, no matter how benevolent the king was, he could only lightly impose taxes! It was absolutely impossible to achieve tax exemption!
Once taxes were waived, it was equivalent to cutting off the economic lifeline of the Empire! Don’t even talk about growing stronger! Even the civil and military officials, Army servants, and servants could not support them!
“No! Absolutely not! His Majesty loved the people like his own children, this was the People’s good fortune! But there’s a limit to this!”
Old Mondo was anxious,’let’s not talk about other things, just the salary given to the Army every month is an astronomical figure! Without taxes, what would an Army of ten million eat? What did the various levels of government offices eat? Once we cut off their food supply, huge axe city will be in chaos!”
“What’s the hurry?”
of course! Chen Xiaobei laughed. we have 4.5 billion upper spiritual stones in the royal treasury! They had just seized another billion! All of these can be used as wages to maintain the expenses of the city’s Army and officials!”
“This …”
Old Mondo’s expression was stunned as he calculated, ” every soldier’s monthly salary is 5000 medium-grade spiritual stones, which means 60000 medium-grade spiritual stones a year, which is six upper-grade spiritual stones!
“Ten million Warriors, sixty million a year! The Yamen’s officials of all levels spent about 20 million a year! Including the maintenance costs of the main city, it’s about 20 million a year!”
Old Mondo said,’in other words, it would take at least 100 million upper spiritual stones to allow huge axe city to operate normally for an entire year! That’s not a small amount!”
“Only a hundred million?”
Chen Xiaobei laughed,’that’s very cheap! With my current wealth, I can guarantee huge axe city’s safety for 55 years!”
Old Mondo said anxiously,”that’s true!” But what would happen after 55 years? Wealth only goes out, and chaos will break out sooner or later!”
“Heh, I think you’re really confused!”
“55 years?” Chen Xiaobei laughed. I only need five months to increase my wealth tenfold! Do you believe me?”
this … old Mondo gasped and almost peed.
