ps: Thanks to the book friend Linghu Liumeng's reward of 10,000 starting coins, the general's mansion in Guangling City became lively again, and all major sects sent people to come, but everyone's mood was also a little weird.Before, this place still belonged to Fang Zhenhai, but now it has returned to the imperial court, and it is still their 'acquaintance' before, and the speed of the transformation of the king's flag at the head of the city is inevitably too fast.Gu Cheng sat on the main seat, looked at the people below and said with a smile: "You guys have met again, and everyone is also an acquaintance, so I won't introduce anything more." ”The people below were also hypocritical, and they were there to congratulate."
Congratulations to Master Gu for his ascension!""
The rebel in Zhenhai, the bitter side of Nanzhi County, has been a thief for a long time, and today he finally set things right.""
In the future, Nanzhi County will have Lord Gu take over, and we can be relieved."
Gu Cheng arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you for raising up, like Fang Zhenhai's anti-thief rebellion, the imperial court will not ignore it, the difference is only a matter of time."
During the time when Fang Zhenhai occupied Nanling County, he made a lot of messy rules, and I saw it in my eyes at the time, but my strength was limited, and I couldn't manage it if I wanted to.For example, Fang Zhenhai forcibly collected 30% of the taxes of the Wulin Sect in Nanzhi County, which is very unreasonable in my opinion, so this rule must be changed!
”As soon as he heard this, everyone present nodded one after another, this Gu Cheng is still an understanding person, he knows what can be done and what cannot be done.At the beginning, they all stood up against Fang Zhenhai, but in fact, the main contradiction was that Fang Zhenhai forcibly collected their taxes and cut meat on them with a knife, how could they bear it?
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said: "So from today onwards, this rule will be changed, and the tax will be changed from three percent to one percent!"
”As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell into silence, and many representatives of the martial arts sects present sneered in their hearts.This Gu Cheng is still young in the end, do you really think they are all idiots?
You Gu Cheng don't have Fang Zhenhaiqiang now, so you dare to charge one percent, and when you Gu Cheng has Fang Zhenhai's strength, won't you also charge three percent?
What is the difference between this and Fang Zhenhai?
At the beginning, Fang Zhenhai was against it, and now you Gu Cheng are against it when he collects three percent, and there should be no such thing as taxation at all!
So when someone stood up and objected, "Lord Gu, since you represent the imperial court, you must act in accordance with the rules of the imperial court."
In the past, when the imperial court controlled Nanzhi County, there were no taxes, so there should be no now.Why don't you act according to the rules of the imperial court, but act according to the rules of Fang Zhenhai's anti-thief?
”Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and said lightly: "Everyone, please don't be impatient, I haven't finished my words yet, what are you excited about?"
The 10% tax you took out was not for me, but for your own convenience.Our Nanzhi County is close to the 100,000 Great Mountains of Nanban, and you should all have various elixirs and materials to trade to the outside world.If a caravan comes to Nanzhi County to take the initiative to buy, then they will have the final say on how much the price is.And if you organize your own caravans, the loss of manpower, material resources and on the road is a great risk, and it is far less cost-effective to sell it directly to those caravans.All of you present, there may be sects with less than 100 people combined, and such sects may only be able to organize caravans, most of which are composed of ordinary people, so it is very dangerous to go on the road like this. ”Most of the people present nodded secretly, and what Gu Cheng said was indeed something that most of them were worried about.Not every sect is a royal family, although there are only a few hundred people in the lineage, there are tens of thousands of vassals, and even the people of a city rely on the Wang family for food.Not every sect is a four-pole sect, there are tens of thousands of formal disciples alone, and there are tens of thousands of outer disciples, who are responsible for all aspects of the four-pole sect, so that the disciples of the four-pole sect can practice with peace of mind.Most of the sects are actually small sects, and they can't even make up the caravan, so they can only sell what they produce to the caravans that come to buy it, and this price is naturally very low.Gu Cheng waved his hand: "The taxes I collected from everyone today are actually used on everyone's body."
At this time, as long as the sect forces that paid taxes had a caravan, they could come to Guangling City for the record, and when they needed to do business, all the soldiers along the way would take shelter and protect the borders of other counties all the way.It is a price to sell something to those caravans nearby, even if it is to be delivered to the nearest Quang Ninh county.The difference you can earn is more than the taxes you pay, and this account is very cost-effective. ”After hearing Gu Cheng finish speaking, everyone present had a strange look on their faces, and the people of the imperial court actually talked to them about a deal?
Although Gu Cheng was talking about paying taxes, in fact, in their eyes, this was a transaction, a protection fee they paid.Someone secretly calculated in their hearts, if Gu Cheng didn't lie, he would indeed fulfill his promise, even after paying 10% of the tax, they would have made more profits than before.However, no one present directly agreed, but looked at Wang Yuan and Xiao Binggong, who were sitting at the front, who were from the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect.But the two of them squinted their eyes and didn't say a word, as if they didn't care about themselves.In the past, this kind of thing must have been the first of the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect to express their attitude.As a result, these two are now silent, which makes them a little unable to get an idea.These two have no objection, is it possible that they are acquiescing?
Therefore, some people present felt that it was a good deal, but there were also some people who were still hesitant.At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in Taoist clothes stood up and sneered: "Lord Gu has a good calculation, Fang Zhenhai harvested thirty percent of my martial arts sect in Nanzhi County, and if you put one percent of it here, you want my martial arts sect in Nanzhi County to be grateful to you?"
Are you waiting for me to be a monkey at dusk?
The convenience you provide is only for the sects that have caravans, but some sects don't have caravan business, so why should they pay 10%?
”Gu Cheng glanced at the Taoist priest and said lightly: "There is no caravan business, and the flow of the sect is just as low, so naturally there is no need to pay such taxes." ”The Taoist priest continued to sneer: "So you still have to pay it?
What is the difference between Master Gu and that Zhenhai when he does this?
”Gu Cheng frowned slightly, why does this guy always target himself?
He actually didn't have much contact with these martial arts sects in Nanzhi County, and the only ones he had contact with were the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect."
Dare to ask what sect this Taoist master comes from?"
The Taoist priest raised his head and snorted coldly: "Chen Zhouping, the deputy master of the Poor Dao Cloud Sea View, is it difficult for Lord Gu to prepare for revenge?"
Just left Fang Zhenhai, the tiger, could it be that there is another vicious wolf in my Nanling County?
You all have to be careful, this Lord Gu is even more domineering than that Fang Zhenhai, and he can't even listen to the slightest words of disobedience. ”After silently reciting the name Yunhaiguan several times, Gu Cheng finally figured out why Chen Zhouping jumped out to target himself.When dealing with the ghost guard, Gu Cheng demolished the other party's temple, and also killed a few Taoist priests who colluded with the ghost county guard, and those Taoist priests were the people of this Yunhaiguan.But then Gu Cheng began to meddle in the power struggle under Fang Zhenhai, and he had long forgotten about this Yunhai View, and it wasn't until Chen Zhouping jumped out against him that he remembered it.If it were someone else who came to Yunhai today, maybe it wouldn't have been so intense.But among the Yunhai Guan Taoist priests killed by Gu Cheng at the beginning, the leader was Chen Zhouping, the younger brother of the deputy master, his own brother.After learning of his brother's death, he wanted to come to Gu Cheng for revenge, but was stopped by the master of the Cloud Sea View.The other party is one of the Eight King Kongs under Fang Zhenhai's command, what does such a small Taoist temple like Yunhaiguan compare with the Eight King Kongs?
He went to die.Later, when he learned of Fang Zhenhai's downfall, Chen Zhouping was secretly excited, thinking that Gu Cheng must have been unlucky with Fang Zhenhai, and he could be regarded as a big revenge.As a result, who would have thought that the news came later, Gu Cheng turned out to be an undercover agent of the imperial court, not only did he not follow Fang Zhenhai unlucky, but also became the commander of the Jingye Division of Guangling City, temporarily in charge of all affairs in Nanling County.This result made Chen Zhouping's hatred even more and unacceptable.So when he came to participate in the discussion this time, Chen Zhouping's hatred could not be suppressed, so he jumped out without hesitation to change the concept and find trouble with Gu Cheng.And he is still a little clever, knowing that he can't help Gu Cheng by relying on his own Yunhai Vision, so he directly tied up the martial arts forces of the entire Nanling County to himself.Gu Cheng's attack on him is revenge, that is a lack of heart, that is to be the enemy of the entire Nanling County martial arts!
Looking at Chen Zhouping, Gu Cheng suddenly showed a smile.Gu Cheng had encountered a lot of unlucky things before, so he always felt that his luck didn't seem to be good.But no matter how unlucky people are, they have to have a time for transshipment.Someone handed over a pillow when he wanted to fall asleep, and he wanted to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey but couldn't find a reason, so someone immediately took the initiative to come over.Chen Zhouping saw that Gu Cheng didn't speak, but laughed, but he suddenly felt a little flustered, why was the smile so infiltrating?
Before Chen Zhouping could say anything, Gu Cheng's true qi was shining, and the dark candle and dark flame on the long sword were burning violently, and he stepped out of the center of the hall that had already appeared, and stabbed out towards Chen Zhouping with a sword!
Chen Zhouping never expected that Gu Cheng would make a move in front of everyone present.Shocked, he immediately mobilized the aura of his whole body, pinched the seal in his hand, and a ripple of water like a mirror appeared in front of him, wanting to stop Gu Cheng's sword.But who knew that Gu Cheng suddenly put away his sword halfway, the five yin qi in his hand shone, the five ghosts carried out, and the five little ghosts surrounded Chen Zhouping's head, and with a slight turn, his head was instantly twisted and appeared in Gu Cheng's hand, and the blood was evenly sprinkled in the center of the hall.Looking at Gu Cheng, who was carrying a human head, the entire lobby was suddenly silent!
