Chapter 307 New Tax Law!

Looking at so many spirit stones, some people even had the idea of ​​robbing them.

Cao Meng dared to put so many spirit stones here just to show others, so he was not afraid of someone coming to rob them.

As long as they were below the Refining Void Stage, whoever dared to rob them, don't blame him for hitting him with his fist, which was comparable to a sixth-level spirit weapon.

When Ying Ling'er and the others saw the small mountain of millions of medium-grade spirit stones, their worries instantly disappeared.

Cao Meng had so many spirit stones. If he still owed them the monthly money, don't blame them for rebelling and hitting Cao Meng, the city lord.

Cao Meng was a little sleepy, and Yu Rui, the personal maid, immediately understood and asked Cao Meng's recliner to come over.

Cao Meng lay on the recliner and signaled Yu Rui and Min Xue to give those people the monthly money.

Yu Rui and Min Xue started to pay the monthly money according to the list, starting from those who were on duty today.

After the Yingying and Yanyan who were to be on duty received the monthly money one after another, they happily hurried to work.

As soon as they got the monthly salary, they were immediately full of energy.

They were afraid that they would lose their positions and such high monthly salary one day because of their lack of energy!

After receiving the monthly salary, those city guards who were not on duty wanted to leave and spend it.

But they were stopped by Min Xue, who told them that Cao Meng had something to announce.

In fact, these people could not spend the monthly salary because Cao Meng gave them medium-grade spirit stones.

If they wanted to maximize their profits, they had to find someone to exchange the medium-grade spirit stones for low-grade spirit stones to make more money.

This means that those medium-grade spirit stones cannot be sold for one or two days.

After Min Xue gave the monthly salary to others, it was finally her turn.

Her monthly salary was one thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which was one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Now that she was in the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, she also earned one million low-grade spirit stones a year!

Cao Meng, who was sitting on the recliner, saw that Yu Rui had not received her monthly salary, so he said:

"Yu Rui, your monthly salary is now set at 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones per month!"

"When you can manage Chunfeng City for me in the future, I will increase your salary!"

Cao Meng still recognized Yu Rui's ability, unlike some useless vixen.

Although Yu Rui was enslaved by him and became his maid, he still had to reward her to motivate her.

"Thank you, Master!"

Yu Rui was overjoyed, because she didn't dare to think about monthly salary. After all, her life was in Cao Meng's hands, so how could she dare to think about monthly salary extravagantly.

After Cao Meng gave Yu Rui the monthly salary, he took the remaining spirit stones back to the storage ring.

At this time, Hong Qi, who was in his arms, was not calm when she saw that she didn't have her share.

Hongqi stretched out her little paw towards Cao Meng, asking for her share:

"Cao Meng, this princess also wants monthly money!"

Hongqi felt that Yurui, the later guy, had monthly money, and she, the great Princess Hongqi, also had monthly money, and even more than Yurui.

"Pink-haired fox, you don't have it!"

Seeing that Hongqi, this rebellious girl, dared to ask him for his spiritual stones, Cao Meng gave her a sugar-roasted chestnut backhand.

"Why does she have it all, but this princess doesn't? You treat her differently!"

Hongqi covered her head with one hand and pointed at Yurui with the other, making a fuss.

Hongqi felt that she couldn't live this day. She was taken advantage of by Cao thief every day.

In the end, she didn't have any spiritual stones at all. It was really too much!

"Pink-haired fox, you do nothing but eat, drink and have fun every day, and you think about rebellion every day, and you are committing a crime of insubordination!"

"I feed you with good food and drink every day, how dare you ask me for monthly money!"

Hongqi was dissatisfied with Cao Meng, and Cao Meng was also dissatisfied with Hongqi.

If it weren't for the pink fur that looked good and felt good, Cao Meng would have kept it as a pet to relieve boredom, otherwise he would have made it into a fox fur coat.

Of course, the main reason Cao Meng kept Hong Qi was because of the aunt in his mouth.

And this pink fox had a lot of spiritual stones in her hands. It was good enough that he didn't ask her to hand them over. How could she have the nerve to ask for spiritual stones.

"Humph!"

Hong Qi snorted coldly and said unhappily:

"Who wants you to keep it? It's obviously you who caught this princess and restricted this princess's freedom!"

Hong Qi felt that it was not a good thing to keep it, but it was clearly imprisoning the noble Princess Hong Qi and restricting her own freedom.

After Hong Qi complained, she shut up honestly. After all, if she continued to make trouble, she might be beaten and spanked.

What's more, she, Princess Hong Qi, didn't need to be beaten for this little spiritual stone.

Hong Qi felt that this was not cowardice, this was called a wise man who knew the times!

…

Cao Meng, after paying his monthly salary and cleaning up Hong Qi, revealed his Dharma image.

“City Lord Cao Meng’s Dharma image is more than 600 feet high.

It is said that City Lord Cao Meng is at the sixth level of the Spiritualization Stage. Today, I saw that it was indeed true!”

The crowd looked at Cao Meng’s Dharma image, which was more than 600 feet high and extremely solid, and was immediately surprised.

“City Lord Cao Meng, after three years of cultivation, has already reached the Spiritualization Stage. It is so terrifying!”

“I think City Lord Cao Meng is not suitable to be called the Spiritualization Stage. He is too young. It is better to change it to the Spiritualization Stage!”

What surprised the crowd the most was not Cao Meng’s cultivation, but that Cao Meng was too young and had practiced for too short a time.

To put it bluntly, after three years of cultivation, he could reach the Golden Core Stage from a mortal, which was already a top genius.

Cao Meng cultivated to the sixth level of the Spiritualization Stage in three years. The top genius and peerless evildoer are no longer enough to describe him.

The only thing that can be used to describe him is the talent of an immortal!

That is to say, Cao Meng is in the Hehuan Sect. If he were in the top sect of the righteous path, he would have been praised as a banished immortal and an immortal descended to the earth!

"Why did the city lord Cao Meng show his Dharma image? Is there an enemy?"

At this moment, someone finally reacted and found the key.

Cao Meng showed his Dharma image, it can't be just to show off his Dharma image, right?

Now that the other party showed his Dharma image, there must be a reason!

Cao Meng controlled the Dharma image to look around and scolded:

"My uncles and uncles, I know you are all waiting and watching, just to see if I, Cao Meng, will make a fool of myself. Unfortunately, I disappoint you."

Cao Meng has already noticed some ants in the Spiritualization Stage, hiding in the dark and watching.

And these ants in the Spiritualization Stage are his uncles and uncles in the Spiritualization Stage.

Now he showed his Dharma image to intimidate those guys and warn them to think twice!

Sure enough, Cao Meng's wave of intimidation made those scoundrels hiding in the dark restrain a little!

"Yu Rui, this is the new rule of Chunfeng City, you read it to everyone!"

Cao Meng threw the rules he made to Yu Rui. Now he is the city lord, and the rules made by Nie Xuan before should be thrown aside.

"Yes, master!"

Yu Rui took the booklet thrown by Cao Meng, bowed, and then announced:

"From today, all shops and markets in the first half of Chunfeng City will be implemented according to the new tax law, and the tax will be increased to 40%!"

Cao Meng's first rule is to increase taxes!

If the city lord did not have the right to collect taxes, he would not be a city lord!

He became a city lord just to collect taxes and make spirit stones!

"Lord Cao Meng, this tax is too high, isn't it?"

"Lord Cao Meng, when Lord Nie Xuan was here, the tax was only 20%!"

The heads of the merchants in the spiritual food shop, the wine shop, and the spiritual weapon shop were dissatisfied when they heard Cao Meng's rules.

You know, Nie Xuan only collected 20% before, and some of them had backers, so they basically didn't have to pay taxes, or they collected less taxes.

Now Cao Meng has only been in office for a month, and he has doubled the tax.

The evil tiger Cao Ze has now exposed his claws and wants to eat their flesh and drink their blood!

"Fellow Taoists, I don't think this tax is high, because I am not Master Nie Xuan. I will collect taxes without working, and I will not come to your territory to eat and drink for free!"

When Cao Meng said this, he cast his eyes to the wine shop in one direction.

He can confirm that Nie Xuan is in that wine shop, so he is watching this side.

Seeing that he was discovered by Cao Meng, Nie Xuan no longer hid and showed up directly.

She didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't believe Cao Meng could do anything to her.

"Damn you Cao thief, you are slandering me, you are framing me!"

After Nie Xuan appeared, she angrily scolded Cao Meng.

When she was the city lord, she was so loyal to her duties, thinking about the development of Chunfeng City every moment, how could she be called dereliction of duty by Cao Meng?

This is slander, this is a naked frame-up!

"Uncle Nie Xuan, I thought you would always hide in the dark like a little mouse and dare not come out?"

Cao Meng sneered when he saw Nie Xuan appear.

"Cao thief, you are the little mouse!"

Nie Xuan heard this and directly retorted to Cao Meng.

I was born with peerless beauty and elegance, but this Cao thief actually said that I was a little mouse.

Is there such a naturally beautiful and elegant little mouse?

This Cao thief disrespects his elders, and he can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

"Uncle Nie Xuan, you said I was framing you. Then I ask you, after you collected taxes and took benefits, as a city lord, are you responsible for these markets?"

Cao Meng questioned Nie Xuan harshly. If Nie Xuan dared to trip him up, don't blame him for embarrassing her now.

"Of course I was responsible!"

Faced with Cao Meng's questioning, Nie Xuan retorted with confidence.

Among the four city lords of Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue, I will do what the other three city lords do!

And every once in a while, I, the city lord, will lower my status and go to their markets to investigate, give them some pointers, and put forward some opinions.

Isn't this called responsibility? What is responsibility!

If the wicked knew what Nie Xuan was thinking, they would definitely curse:

What kind of visit and investigation, what kind of shitty opinion!

Nie Xuan's visit and investigation is just eating, drinking, and taking for free!

The opinions and suggestions Nie Xuan put forward are to tell you what she wants to eat and drink next time she comes, and what she needs.

Next time she comes, you have to prepare the things in advance!

"So the responsibility of Uncle Nie Xuan is to ignore them and let them lose money!"

Cao Meng didn't know how Nie Xuan had the nerve to say such a righteous thing.

"It's normal to have losses in business!"

Nie Xuan felt that the losses of those people had nothing to do with her. She was just the city lord, responsible for collecting taxes and guarding the city.

Cao Meng thought he was thick-skinned enough, but after seeing him today, he felt that he was still a little worse than Nie Xuan.

Cao Meng cast his eyes on the heads of various markets and shops and promised:

"Everyone, I, Cao Meng, promise here today that I will never let your taxes go for nothing!

Next, I will carry out drastic reforms on Chunfeng City, so that you can earn more spiritual stones! "

Of course, Cao Meng dared to make such a promise, and he was sure of it.

According to his next layout, the semi-personnel flow of Chunfeng City will increase at least tenfold!

"Empty words, you can say whatever you want!"

Nie Xuan felt that Cao Meng was just talking nonsense.

When she first became the city lord, she also wanted to reform Chunfeng City, but in the end she was defeated by reality.

These people are hopeless, and they can only defend the city.

"Uncle Nie Xuan, you'd better control your mouth, otherwise I can't guarantee whether I can control my hands!"

Cao Meng felt that Nie Xuan just wanted to be beaten and deserved to be punished.

"Humph! "

Nie Xuan snorted coldly at Cao Meng's threat, and then fled back to her own territory.

There was no way, Nie Xuan was afraid of being beaten.

After all, if she was beaten by Cao Meng in front of so many people, she would probably die!

After Cao Meng scared Nie Xuan, the little scum, he said to everyone:

"If you don't want to believe me, and don't want to cooperate in paying taxes, you can move your property now. I, Cao Meng, will never stop you!"

Cao Meng thought it was okay for that person to move away. Before, Bai Yuxuan's property moved away, which freed up a lot of land for him to successfully recycle!

If these guys move away again, he can take back another batch of land.

In the future, he can rent it out and collect a lot of spirit stones!

Sure enough, many people left. Obviously, they couldn't accept the 40% tax. This tax was too high.

This was Chi Mengxun, the person in charge of Yanyu Tower. He came to Cao Meng with seven or eight people and bowed:

"Young Master, I wonder if our Yanyu Tower can not increase taxes? "

Chi Mengxun and the others called Cao Meng not the city lord, but the young master.

"Young master?"

Cao Meng was confused when he heard this title. When did he become the young master of Chi Mengxun and the others? How come he didn't know it?

Chi Mengxun, the leader, saw Cao Meng was confused and explained immediately:

"Young master, all our industries are under the name of Duanmu Sect Master!"

Duanmu Fei is the master of Chi Mengxun and the others, and Cao Meng is Duanmu Fei's disciple, so naturally he is their young master.

The shops in Yanyu Tower were supported by Duanmu Fei and have been helping Duanmu Fei earn spirit stones.

It's just that Duanmu Fei hid it very well, so few people knew about the relationship between Yanyu Tower and Duanmu Fei.

Now Cao Meng raised the tax by 20% in one breath, so Chi Mengxun had to expose the relationship between Yanyu Tower and Duanmu Fei.

"Your Yanyu Tower is my master's industry, how come I don't know it?"

"Now my master is in seclusion, do you have any evidence to prove it? ”

Cao Meng was also shocked. He suspected that the other party was bluffing him!

Chi Mengxun took out a token and asked for the immortal secrets, saying:

"Young Master, this is the token given to us by Sect Master Duanmu!

And the immortal secrets also include me and the Sect Master, and the situation I reported to the Sect Master!"

This token was originally left to Chi Mengxun by Concubine Duanmu, just to prevent someone in Chunfeng City from making things difficult for them, and to give them to Yanyu Pavilion just in case!

But Concubine Duanmu never expected that the first time Chi Mengxun took out this token, it was not because of outsiders making things difficult for Yanyu Pavilion, but because her rebellious disciples were making trouble.

Cao Meng took the token and checked it. He could confirm that this token was the same as the one given to him and his sister, Wuyi. This token was really the one of the female devil! (End of this chapter)
