Chapter 2476: Tax Collection

The treasure house of the city lord's mansion is in charge of Bai Han, the chief manager, and has nothing to do with Luo Hao, but Luo Hao and Bai Han are both remnants of the Thunder Domain, and the two have a very good relationship. It is impossible not to say it.

In the city treasure house of Hongmeng City, the black crystals are almost empty, and even other miscellaneous resources are not much in quantity.

Under the current circumstances, the city owner has to speed up the expansion of the city, and Luo Hao is worried that it will drag down the city's operation.

"No problem!" Jing Yan said.

He said to Niu Bo and other formation masters: "Director Niu Bo, you will go to the city lord's mansion in a while to receive 100 million black crystals. This amount of black crystals will be distributed according to the contributions of everyone in your team. This is a reward. After ten days, you will be busy again. Now, you go to rest first."

"Yes, Lord City Master!" Niu Bo and other formation masters thanked loudly with joy.

These formation masters are all paid. According to each person's formation ability, the salary they receive is naturally different, but they are all considered high salaries. During the 50 years of building the cultivation tower's functions, Jing Yan has rewarded them many times. If this time is counted, it should be the fifth reward, which is once every ten years on average. The previous four times were 30 to 50 million black crystal stones, and this last time was a full 100 million black crystal stones.

This reward is quite a lot, after all, it has only been a few decades. Each of them got a lot of black crystals.

Of course, they are formation masters, and they should be treated better than ordinary ascetics. Like the city guards in Hongmeng City, they can't earn so much black crystals. Ordinary guardians of the Immortal Rhythm Realm only earn 100,000 to 200,000 Wujingshi a year. Ordinary Netherworld Realm, the salary is much lower.

"Luo Hao, recently you will familiarize yourself with the cultivation tower, and then recruit some staff."

"As for when the cultivation tower will be officially opened, I'll let you know." Jing Yan said to Luo Hao.

"Yes, Lord City Master!" Luo Hao responded.

Jing Yan returned to the city lord's mansion and called the chief executive Bai Han over.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" the chief executive Bai Han asked.

In the past few decades of building the cultivation tower in the city, Bai Han has been extremely busy. The cultivation tower consumes too much, and the city lord Jing Yan asked him to mobilize resources to meet the construction of the cultivation tower first. He tried every means to mobilize resources. Now, it's finally over.

"Chairman, how many black crystals are there in our treasury?" Jing Yan asked directly.

"Wujingshi? My lord, our treasury is almost empty. The Wujingshi is in stock, so we probably can't even get 10 billion." Bai Han had a bitter expression on his face.

"Not even ten billion?" Jing Yan also frowned.

Although Luo Hao had heard that the city's treasury was almost empty before, he never thought that the treasury would be so empty.

You know, the daily sales of the Hongmeng Pill Building alone are close to 10 billion, because the number of ascetics in Hongmeng City is constantly increasing, and the sales of this elixir are also constantly increasing. And Hongmeng Danlou's profit is very high, even after deducting all kinds of expenses, it can still make about 40% of the profit. Of course, Jing Yan can account for half of the credit for the profit, because he personally refines the mid-grade and top-grade elixir of Hongmeng Danlou, and the profit of the elixir he refines is very scary, almost 70% to 80%. .

"My lord, the construction of the training tower has cost us more than thirteen trillion black crystals!" Bai Han raised his voice.

Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

In fact, the most valuable items in the cultivation tower were all brought out by Jing Yan. Fire cloud spar, yellow spring spar, if these things are purchased, then the cultivation tower will cost at least hundreds of thousands of black spar or even more. It's okay to say that resources like fire cloud spar, but you can't buy resources similar to Huangquan spar.

"Ten days later, Hongmeng City will be expanded."

"The current Hongmeng City can only accommodate more than 10 million people. This expansion will build a city that can accommodate 100 million people." Jing Yan waved his hand.

Hearing Jing Yan's words, Bai Han was dumbfounded.

Expansion in ten days?

Want to expand a city that can accommodate 100 million people?

My lord, what are you thinking? In the treasury, there are not even 10 billion black crystals left.

Even if the Hongmeng Danlou can use the profit of four or five billion black crystals every day, it will only be four to five billion in ten days! Furthermore, the profits of the Hongmeng Pill Building cannot all be saved, and they must be consumed in other places.

"My lord, we... what are we going to use to expand the city?" Bai Han asked in a low voice.

He didn't dare to confront Jing Yan directly.

"Collect business tax!" Jing Yan's voice froze.

"Tax collection?" Bai Han opened his mouth.

So far, Hongmeng City has not collected taxes on shops in the city. In the current Hongmeng City, the official industry only accounts for a small part. Most of the shops, etc., are controlled by outside business elites, and some are controlled by small forces.

Hongmeng City's policy has always been tax-free for these shops. At the beginning, Jing Yan meant to use this to attract more people to do business in Hongmeng City.

"That's right! Our Hongmeng City, of course, can't be exempted from taxes forever. Is there any city in Tianyu that doesn't charge taxes for businesses for a long time?" Jing Yan nodded.

"But, isn't the timing for tax collection immature?" Bai Han seemed worried about this.

The situation in Hongmeng City is very bad, there are too many enemies outside.

In addition, Hongmeng City didn't even enter the Tianyin city list. If the tax is collected now, I am afraid it will cause some backlash.

Those businessmen put their interests first. If Hongmeng City collects taxes from them, how can they pay them willingly? They may secretly form an alliance to fight, or even sell their assets and leave Hongmeng City. If the control is not good, then the problem can be big.

Once more people sell their property, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in Hongmeng City's industry. Under the chain reaction, it will cause incalculable losses to the city.

"The time has come! Hehe, there are some people who earn resources in Hongmeng City, enjoy the tax-free policy, and secretly curse Hongmeng City. They should also make some contributions to Hongmeng City. Chief Manager, that's it, But... of course we have to give them some time to prepare. Well, just one month, a month's buffer time."

"Chairman, this month, you will set up the tax department. As the tax supervisor, Xu Yi will be in charge." Jing Yan said slowly.

"What if those merchants unite and threaten to leave the city?" Bai Han said.

"They want to leave, we won't stay." Jing Yan said simply: "However, if they leave this time, don't even think about coming back in the future. If someone really quits Hongmeng City, remember them and list them as Hongmeng City. People who are never welcome."
