Chapter 458 Palace Negotiations (4K)

"Douluo's Auxiliary Upgrade System ()" Find the latest chapter!

Hong Yifeng and Ning Fengzhi were not at all surprised by the shock of the crowd, because when they found out before, they were as shocked as these people now.

After all, this kind of thing is already somewhat beyond the understanding of everyone, it is simply the domain of God.

Regarding this, Thanos didn't say much, nodded and said: "That's the matter of the captives. Let's continue to discuss the development of the alliance. The establishment of the branch is also on the agenda."

"There is also Elder Xueyang, over there is your seat, there are some materials of the alliance on it, you can go and have a look, and you can give your opinion after reading it."

"Oh." Bai Xueyang replied blankly.

"Okay, let's continue..." Thanos clapped his hands, making everyone's attention focused again.

Soon, heated discussions rang out again in the conference hall, but this time, there was something different, and everyone had a little more respect for Thanos in their hearts.

After knowing Bibi Dong's arrangement, Lin Feng's planning efficiency can be improved.

And besides the plan of the Soul Master Alliance, he still needs to do one more thing, and that is to find Emperor Xue Ye.

If the Soul Master Alliance didn't have too many ambitions and just unified the world of soul masters, Lin Feng could completely ignore the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

He can be a third-party superpower just like the current Wuhundian.

But it's a pity that Lin Feng's goal is the entire continent, not just the world of soul masters.

So, if the Alliance of Soul Masters wants to accomplish their ultimate goal, the Heaven Dou Royal Family is the hurdle they must cross!

The two are opposites, and there is no such thing as coexistence.

But now, Lin Feng went to Emperor Xue Ye just to talk about the Soul Master Alliance.

After all, many of the things their alliance planned to do touched on the core interests of the Heaven Dou Empire, so he had to solve this problem.

Otherwise, when their Soul Master Alliance establishes branches in major cities in the future, they will not only have to guard against the counterattack of the Wuhun Palace, but also guard against Emperor Xue Ye.

Now if he can get this done, he only needs to watch the Wuhun Hall.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't intend to directly annex the Heaven Dou Empire right now, or manipulate the royal family or something.

The timing is not right now, we have to wait until the Wuhun Temple is destroyed before we can consider the matter of the two empires.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng came to the gate of the palace.

He didn't come here as a private person, but came to negotiate as a foreign affairs elder of the Soul Master Alliance.

The elder of foreign affairs is the elder who is specialized in dealing with domestic and foreign affairs. It can be regarded as one of Lin Feng's positions in the alliance.

And because of his status as the deacon of the Marvel family, and because of his excellent relationship with Ning Fengzhi and Tang San, Lin Feng's status in the Soul Master Alliance is still very high.

Emperor Xue Ye had already been notified of the coming from the Soul Master Alliance, and he was very solemn about it, sending Prince Xue Qinghe to greet him in person.

At this time, Lin Feng had just arrived at the gate, and Xue Qinghe, who had been waiting for a while, walked out together accompanied by several palace servants.

"Elder Lin Feng, Your Majesty is already waiting for you, please come inside." Xue Qinghe cupped his hands towards Lin Feng.

Now it's an office job, and although the two have a personal relationship, they didn't show it too much at this time.

"His Royal Highness, lead the way." Lin Feng smiled lightly, but he didn't say much.

In this way, under the leadership of Xue Qinghe, Lin Feng walked towards the palace.

The so-called Imperial Palace is actually a city within a city in Tiandou City, very similar to the Forbidden City in the previous life.

In the past, although Lin Feng had inspected the palace more than once, he usually only paid attention to the two Titled Douluo.

Walking on this palace avenue like now is a different kind of experience.

The pure white marble is directly paved on the road. When walking, the soles of the shoes collide with the ground and there will be a "kicking" sound.

There are trees and flowers around, and the pavilions in the distance are patchwork, which is very seductive to look at.

It has to be said that the nobles and royal families in Douluo World will still enjoy it very much. How many gold soul coins will be spent on these arrangements.

Of course, this kind of thought just passed away in Lin Feng's mind.

A group of people walked slowly, Xue Qinghe was still explaining some layouts of the palace to Lin Feng on the way.

In the end, after about ten minutes, Xue Qinghe led Lin Feng to the outside of a large courtyard with high walls.

"Your Majesty is waiting in the courtyard. Elder Lin Feng will follow me in."

As he said that, Xue Qinghe waved to the guards, signaling them to wait here.

"Let's go." Nodding his head, Lin Feng followed Xue Qinghe to the yard.

The layout here is a bit more luxurious than the one outside. There are precious trees and flowers planted everywhere, even Lin Feng saw a moon tree.

That's right, it's the kind of Little Moon's body, but the one in front of me doesn't have soul power fluctuations, it's just an ordinary plant.

As if realizing that Lin Feng was attracted by the surrounding scenery, Xue Qinghe explained: "This is His Majesty's backyard, and usually only important people are received, so it costs a lot."

In this backyard, these flowers, plants and trees are valuable. In terms of construction cost, it is estimated that it will cost more than 100,000 gold soul coins in total.

Don't think that one hundred thousand is not much, you must know that this is just a courtyard, and the money spent to build the entire palace was in the hundreds of millions.

"So that's the case." Lin Feng nodded, as if he understood.

At this time, the two also came to the open space in front of the yard.

"Elder Lin Feng of the Soul Master Alliance, he is indeed young and promising hahaha..." In the open space, Emperor Xue Ye laughed out loud.

On the side, Iron Fang Douluo accompanied him, standing quietly.

As for the other Hades Wolf Douluo in the palace, he is currently cultivating in the secret room, preparing to break through level ninety-three.

"I have seen His Majesty Xue Ye." Lin Feng saluted slightly, neither humble nor overbearing.

There is a square table in the middle of the open space, with some fruits and food on it, obviously prepared long ago.

At this time, Xue Ye stretched out her hand towards the table and said, "Elder Lin Feng, please sit down, let's talk while eating, it's easier this way."

"You're welcome." Lin Feng said politely, but his feet didn't stop moving, and he sat on a chair.

Seeing this, Xue Ye sat opposite Lin Feng, smiling.

As for Xue Qinghe and Tie Ya Douluo, they didn't take their seats, but stood quietly not far away.

This time the two talked, although they didn't talk about anything, it must be very important, so the two sides are relatively standardized.

"Ming people don't speak dark words, Your Majesty Xue Ye, our Soul Master Alliance sent me to talk to the empire today. In fact, the purpose is very simple. It is to ask His Majesty to give our Soul Master Alliance some preferential treatment."

As soon as he was seated, Lin Feng spoke without the slightest courtesy.

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye showed kindness on his face, but he became MMP in his heart.

He knew that Lin Feng's visit today would definitely not be to talk about anything good, but could he refuse?

If he could refuse, when the Soul Masters Alliance was established yesterday, he would have brought an army of ten thousand soul masters to find trouble.

The fact is that he can't refuse!

The alliance of soul masters can be regarded as a general trend in the world of soul masters. Marvel family, Haotian sect, Qibao Liuli sect, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, etc., and countless soul master forces have joined it.

If Emperor Xue Ye dared to stop him, it would be equivalent to being hostile to most of the soul master world.

As a result of that, it is estimated that the entire Heaven Dou Empire will be in turmoil, and in the end it will end in a loss-losing situation.

Now allowing the existence of the Soul Master Alliance is nothing but his helpless move.

It would be a big deal to have one more 'Wuhundian', and having said that, maybe this is a good thing.

After all, the Alliance of Soul Masters is a force of soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire, and Xue Ye, the leader of many of them, knows each other well.

If they can destroy the Spirit Hall, maybe the Heaven Dou Empire can take this opportunity to unify the entire continent.

In Emperor Xue Ye's heart, he never thought that the Soul Master Alliance would replace the Heaven Dou Empire or something.

Not only him, except for Tang San and Lin Feng, even Grandmaster and Ning Fengzhi, including all members of the Soul Master Alliance, probably would not have such thoughts.

After all, the Heaven Dou Empire is their motherland in their hearts, and they will not overthrow it.

And the purpose of joining the Soul Master Alliance is only for the things in the alliance, and at the same time, they can unite to resist the Spirit Hall.

Of course, these are just short-term thoughts of these people. After a long time, they are bound by the Soul Master Alliance.

Manipulating them will become very simple, Lin Feng only needs to use contribution points, and he can easily let the soul master do things for him.

Even things like overthrowing the Heaven Dou Empire are not difficult.

"Preferential treatment? I don't know what kind of preferential treatment?" Emperor Xue Ye asked.

"I hope His Majesty can give the Soul Master Alliance a five-year tax-free period, and at the same time, the Alliance will open branches in the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. I hope Your Majesty will not interfere!"

Soul master, as an extremely special profession, enjoys preferential treatment no matter in the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire.

As for the soul master alliance, as a soul master, it also has many privileges.

However, Lin Feng felt that these were not enough, especially regarding taxation, Lin Feng had to negotiate.

Otherwise, their Soul Master Alliance would be equivalent to working for the Heaven Dou Empire, this is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Feng.

As for the intervention of the branch, the importance will be a little bit worse.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the Heaven Dou imperial family has the greatest control over the Heaven Dou City. As for other principalities, kingdoms and cities, it is difficult to control them in real time.

And in these places, as long as Lin Feng has mastered the power of the local soul masters, everything else doesn't matter.

"I highly encourage the establishment of a branch in the Heaven Dou Empire. The stronger the Soul Master Alliance, the stronger our Heaven Dou Empire will be!"

As she said that, Xue Ye changed the topic, "But is it wrong to directly exempt taxes for five years? I think it's okay to reduce taxes by half for five years."

Within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, whether it is an ordinary person or a soul master, or a soul master force, family, etc., as long as they are residents of the Heaven Dou Empire, they all have to pay taxes.

These taxes are the foundation of a country, and it is impossible not to pay them.

Of course, because of different identities and different types of taxes, the amount of tax paid by each person or force is also different.

Generally speaking, the land tax for ordinary people is only about 10%, but the commercial tax is as much as 20%.

For soul masters, the tax will be halved, and the tax paid by the power of soul masters is in the middle of soul masters and ordinary people.

However, they don't have to pay land tax, and they are exempted from many miscellaneous taxes. They mainly pay 15% commercial tax. Some powerful forces, such as the last three cases, only need to pay 8%.

And this low tax rate can also be enjoyed by some vassal forces.

Therefore, many soul master forces, families and so on will choose a big force to vassalize.

For example, the Li Zhi Clan and Min Zhi Clan under the Clear Sky School back then, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also had more than a dozen vassal forces.

The reason why these forces are vassals is because of the strength of the Haotian School and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on the one hand.

On the other hand, it is because of this low tax rate!

Although there is only a 7% gap between the two, if the number increases, this small 7% is also a huge fortune.

So this tax rate reduction is still very attractive.

As for the Soul Master Alliance, it can be regarded as a super soul master force. After it was established yesterday, Ning Fengzhi took Tang San to the official registration.

And because of the above three reasons, the Soul Master Alliance directly enjoys the 8% tax policy, and miscellaneous taxes are also directly exempted.

For the Star Luo Empire, the tax rate is similar to that of the Heaven Dou Empire, just the same with minor differences.

Xue Ye is now saying that half of the tax will be exempted for five years, which means that within five years of their Soul Master Alliance, the tax will only be 4%.

This kind of tax rate is actually extremely low. It can be said that such a low tax rate cannot be found in the entire empire.

However, there is only one thing Lin Feng wants, and that is zero tax rate.

"Your Majesty, how about this, let's not talk about halving the tax rate for five years, and our Soul Master Alliance will also take a step back and reduce the tax rate for two years, is that okay?!"

Lin Feng was skillful in this negotiation. His goal was actually to reduce the tax rate for one year.

Because no amount of time is useless, he is sure to replace Wuhundian within a year, and by then their next target will be the two great empires.

At this time, the reason why he said five years was just to give himself a little way out, and to lower his standards, Xue Ye was more likely to agree.

"Tax exemption for two years?" Xue Ye pondered for a while.

Then he nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

This is just a simple math problem, four percent in five years, that's a total of twenty percent.

Now Lin Feng asked for tax exemption for two years, and the tax rate for the next three years was 8%, a total of 24%.

This was 4% higher than Xue Ye's expectation, and he made a profit.

"Your Majesty is really quick to talk, so it's settled. The Soul Master Alliance will be exempted from tax for two years. Please draw up the document as soon as possible." Lin Feng's face was full of smiles.

"No problem." Xue Ye also smiled.

At this moment, Xue Ye felt that the negotiation was really easy, and she earned 4% with just a word.

But in Lin Feng's heart, he only felt that Xue Ye was too stupid, too easy to fool around.

There are really few smart people in Douluo Continent.
