Chapter 121 Undercurrents in the Xingluo Empire (I)

Of course, the release of biological bracelets has not always been smooth sailing.

There will always be some forces that can't stand other forces becoming bigger.

The residence of the Marquis of Queqiu in Xingluo City.

At the buffet, some officials from Star Luo City were gathering in twos and threes to discuss the latest information.

"Don't make things too conspicuous. Is 40% appropriate?"

A fat-headed official was holding a wine glass and speaking to another well-dressed attendant.

"Of course, my Excellency, we will change the statistical format and use official salary to divert part of it, and then use title subsidy to divert part of it.

The chief attendant continued,

"Then don't start counting from last year. Start counting from the peak of the salary increase percentage five years ago. Don't count to this year. Count to two years later, at the end of the salary adjustment stage, and then consider other factors. It should be enough."

"You're very thoughtful, Gnop, and I'm very pleased with your work."

"Then we have to put the issue of commercial taxation proposed by the previous chamber on the agenda."

Zhongshu Ling stared at the chief attendant and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"After all, the national situation is difficult, and the salaries of the nobles cannot be changed out of thin air. Moreover, the opinions of those in the General Affairs Department about the Chamber of Commerce have not changed for a day or two."

"Yes, Your Excellency Zhongshu Ling, commercial tax is an important source of finance, but we must ensure the interests of our local businessmen."

The chief attendant changed to a relaxed posture and continued to talk.

"Your Excellency Zhongshu Ling, if you have met the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you will know what a good person they are, and they are very concerned about the transformation of the city and the renovation of infrastructure. There is nothing wrong with them. The Chamber of Commerce ruled There is also a former permanent secret commander in the regiment."

"Of course, my chamberlain."

"We need to better protect domestic chambers of commerce, so what do you think of non-domestic chambers of commerce?"

Zhongshu Ling cast his gaze at the new face next to Marquis Queqiu.

"The Duke has always been very concerned about national security. We cannot let non-domestic chambers of commerce affect the steady development of the Star Luo Empire's business. Uncontrolled foreign chambers of commerce are detrimental to the commercial security and economic development of the Star Luo Empire."

"Yes, Your Excellency Zhongshu Ling, yes, we must better regulate and guide foreign chambers of commerce."

"And it takes a lot of our time to guide them, so their business tax will have to be increased."

"Well, yes, this is what it should be, go ahead and do it."

"yes."

In just a few moments, a decision was made at the reception on a plan to increase the nobility's salary by as much as 40% and a tax increase plan for the Qibao Glazed Sect.

"Forty percent is fine, that way I can get more."

After the chief attendant left, Zhongshu Ling thought silently in his heart.

After all, the influence of the Qibao Glazed Sect in Xingluo is not as good as that of Tiandou.

Tiandou officials would not dare to target the Qibao Glazed Sect like this.

Their crown prince is a disciple of the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is based in Tiandou City. The influence of these two super Douluo cannot be trivialized.

But Xing Luo has no such worries.

Not only are they geographically separated, their military strength is much stronger than that of Tiandou.

They are not too afraid of the wrath of the Qibao Glazed Sect.

A small circle of senior soul masters on the other side

"I recently heard that there was a new genius in Wuhun Hall. He defeated the three strongest students in Wuhun Academy as soon as he entered the school?"

A middle-aged soul emperor said.

"I've heard about this too. It's said that the genius became the Soul Master when he was only twelve years old."

A well-informed soul master next to him said with an exaggerated expression.

"Hiss~"

"Only twelve years old!"

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, everyone around was shocked and gasped.

"That's not right. I heard that the three strongest students in Wuhun Academy are already high-level soul sects. How could he, the soul master, defeat three soul sects?"

At this time, a relatively clear-headed Melon-eating Soul Emperor raised a question.

"It's the Soul Lord. That genius defeated three high-level Soul Sects with the Soul Lord's realm."

The well-informed Soul Emperor said with a somewhat unhappy tone.

For a person who spreads melons, it is natural to feel a little unhappy when someone questions the authenticity of the melons.

So this time he spoke very definitely and his tone was not very friendly.

"Hiss~"

"real or fake?"

"The Soul Master defeated three Soul Sects?"

"Why do I feel so unbelievable?"

A soul master wearing clothes that smelled of "nature" asked.

Although the well-informed Soul Emperor was a little unhappy, the people gathered at this table were all Soul Emperors, and no one was afraid of anyone. Some people still didn't believe what he said.

"If it's true or not, you can find out by yourself by going to Wuhun City and asking."

"If you don't believe me, why bother asking me again."

It was obvious that this well-informed Soul Emperor no longer wanted to deal with this circle of unqualified people.

Although they all took a few breaths of air-conditioning in cooperation, which was very helpful to him, the series of questions also made him lose the intention to talk any more.

As the well-informed Soul Emperor sat down with a cold face and stopped talking, the people around him looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

"It's not a good thing for a genius to be too sharp. Are there not enough geniuses on this continent? Only those who survive are considered geniuses."

An old soul master with white hair and beard broke the cold atmosphere.

He took a sip of wine and looked nostalgic, like a man with a story.

"You are old..."

When everyone saw someone break the silence, they also started chatting.

The cold table was instantly lively again.

Time passed, and soon it was time for the cocktail party to officially begin.

"Ding Ding Ding"

As Marquis Queqiu knocked the crystal cup with a silver spoon, the lively scene of toasting gradually cooled down, and everyone's eyes gradually gathered at the buffet.

"Everyone, we welcome a distinguished guest to this buffet, Mr. Ning Yurong, the general manager of the Xingluo Empire of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Marquis Queqiu introduced Ning Yurong to everyone.

"Hello, everyone, I am Ning Yurong from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"Thank you very much for your support today. To show your gratitude, I have some gifts for you."

Ning Yurong clapped his hands.

As Ning Yurong clapped her hands, some pretty maids with peach-like faces came in one after another, holding velvet-padded biological bracelets.

They carefully distributed bracelets of different levels to the corresponding guests, and even the pot-bellied Zhongshu Ling received a Soul Master bracelet.

"Everyone, what you have in your hands now is the latest soul guide device to be released by our Qibao Liuli Sect - the biological bracelet."

"You can try to input soul power into this bracelet to see its effect."

Many guests disagreed, but they also cooperated to input soul power into it.

Not long after, these people who were either shrewd or experienced showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Ning Yurong looked at the various reactions of these prominent figures at the scene and had a bottom line in his heart.

Soon, many people came back to their senses and stared at Ning Yurong with burning eyes, and asked anxiously: "How much of this thing is left? How much is the price?"

This question, like a fuse, immediately attracted people who came to the cocktail party to ask.

Of course, some people had different thoughts, and they all began to give orders to their confidants.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

"I will introduce the situation of the biological bracelet in detail. Don't worry."

The people in the cocktail party quieted down, and Ning Yurong began to introduce the situation of the biological bracelet.

"..."

The cocktail party ended smoothly. Even if some people were hot-tempered and had hidden evil intentions, they did not show it at the cocktail party.

Ning Yurong was generally satisfied with this cocktail party. He believed that with the amazing effect of this product, the rigid situation of their Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in Xingluo would soon be broken.

The relevant information of the biological bracelet will spread throughout the Xingluo Empire through the mouths of these leaders.

However, with fame, the targeting of various forces will also come one after another.

This is not Tiandou after all.

The promotion in Xingluo cannot be as simple as holding a press conference in Tiandou. The deterrence of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect here is not too great. Many big families in Xingluo will not easily give up such a sweet cake.

As the general person in charge of the sale of the biological bracelet, Ning Yurong has come here in person and is ready.
