The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 262 Apparent Consent
After all, Hidden Immortal is the Young Lord of the Immortal Capital, and he has a long period of experience in city-state governance, and he is very good at manipulating public opinion. Within three days, the streets and alleys were talking about tax reform.

People from poor families rarely buy anything on weekdays, and they are not interested in the collection of commercial taxes. They are keen to discuss the abolition of poll tax. In this way, they can save a lot of money and live a lot more comfortably.

People with a little wealth are dissatisfied. If taxes are increased on many commodities, wouldn't they have to pay more to buy the same things, and their living expenses will increase a lot.

In fact, people are like this. Their own interests are the most important. If they don't see the benefits of the city-state's interests to them, it is too late to explain.

So Cangxian directly used the method of moral kidnapping, and rose to the bottom where not agreeing to tax reform is selfish, inferior in character, and damaged in morality.Merchants value their reputation, and public opinion is afraid to speak at this point.

Hidden Immortal's strategy has initially yielded results, and now he is waiting for Tang Wenhua to come to Tang Yue on his own initiative.

She had already written the first draft of the tax reform, so she asked for leave from Qionghua Pavilion, and stayed in the mansion to discuss the details and improvements with Young Master Zang, and at the same time, she was waiting for Tang Wenhua to come to her.

Before noon, the city lord came and said to Hidden Immortal first, "I didn't know that the young master of Xiandu came to our mansion, and the reception was really bad. Why didn't you tell me about it, Ayue?"

Tang Yue looked innocent, "I wanted to inform you, but last time you said that you didn't want to see me again for a month, I'm sorry to go to your place."

Tang Wenhua remembered what he had said, they were all angry words, if she came to report the young master of Xiandu's residence in the mansion, he would not miss her.

It can be seen that Tang Yue was deliberately trying to annoy people. Thinking of this, Tang Wenhua took a deep breath. Now that there are outsiders, it is not appropriate to have a fit, and family ugliness should not be exposed.

Tang Wenhua asked why Cangxian came to Kunwu City, and Cangxian said that he was here to participate in the flower appraisal meeting.

The city lord couldn't believe it. The Xiandu Flower Appreciation Fair was a grand event in Liuzhou, and countless famous flowers were selected from it. How could he fall in love with the flowers run by a little-known family in Kunwu City?

The Qian family is well-known in Kunwu City, but in Tang Wenhua's eyes, they are just nouveau riche, not comparable to the families he has come into contact with.But he rarely thought that he was also an upstart in the eyes of others.

The head of the Qian family is still obsessed with business. He has been cultivating at the golden core for hundreds of years. If he can't find a way to continue his life, he will soon die of old age. Let alone expand the Qian family. Such a family is really hopeless.

It suddenly occurred to him that Hidden Immortal lived in Tang Yue's yard as soon as he entered the mansion, which meant that the two were old, and that Hidden Immortal probably came for Tang Yue.

The second daughter, who had always been underestimated, turned out to be so powerful, and all the people he handed over were young talents, so he wanted to pick someone who could maximize his benefits as his son-in-law.

As for Tang Yue's desire to be the young city lord, Tang Wenhua thought she was acting in a fit of anger. He did treat his youngest daughter so poorly in the past, and she had resentment towards herself, so it was normal for her to want a little revenge.

But the reason she chose was not good, how could she lose the future and fate of the whole city just to get angry with her father?Still young, I don't know the severity.

Thinking of this, Tang Wenhua looked at Tang Yue with that "children are still young, not very sensible" eyes, which made her suspect that this person had imagined something.

He took the initiative to say: "Xiandu will also reform the tax law recently. Brother Zang has rich experience in this. With his help, the new tax law of Kunwu City will definitely be more perfect."

Hearing what she said, Tang Wenhua frowned and said, "You child, didn't I tell you that if I don't give you a seal, it will be useless for you to revise the new tax law."

"Maybe, look at the discussion situation in Kunwu City. Those who resist paying the business tax are morally corrupt. They are unwilling to pay a little more for the city. They are unkind to the rich. Under the pressure of public opinion, the merchants may take the initiative to ask for business. Tax."

"Nonsense, where is the poll tax fair? Everyone pays the same tax."

"But the poll tax accounts for half of the income of poor people. After taking this half, they can't even afford cotton-padded clothes, and they have to rely on winter clothes made in the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, they are likely to freeze to death in Kunwu City and cause a tragedy. Then In a month, it will be the snow season, and I hope father will carefully consider the abolition of the poll tax."

Hidden Immortal said at this time: "With the prosperity and development of commerce in the city, city defense will become more and more important. I heard that Kunwu City still hasn't organized its own regular army. It is very dangerous to encounter big monsters."

The big demon will tear open the space gap unintentionally or intentionally, and go to the human world to cause chaos. After tearing the gap and seeing spirit beasts, forests, flowers and trees, they will give some spiritual power.

If you go to a human city-state, you will start killing. Most cities have encountered such monsters, including Kunwu City.

Although Tang Wenhua only met the big monster tearing up the space when he was young, he still has lingering fears when he thinks of the tragedy of the big monster's attack.

At that time, Kunwu City did not have spirit stones to support the standing army, and was beat up by the big monster, killing almost half of the people in the city.

He only wanted to build a standing army, and persuaded Shui Yingrou many times to bring out some spirit stones, but she refused all of them because she couldn't maintain it, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.

"Ah Yue can also earn money now. One day we will be able to earn the money to support the standing army. There is no need to add commercial taxes, so that the families who came to Kunwu City with us to pioneer will suffer."

Tang Yue took a sip of water, and people turned their attention to her, "Father, don't say that I can only make a little money now, which is not enough to support the army. Even if I can have this money, I will never give it to you." your."

Tang Wenhua was annoyed, "What did you say?" It was a joke that she behaved so unfilially while the young master of Xiandu was still alive.

"I see that you have no plans to make me the young city lord. If I don't become the young city lord of Kunwu City in the future, then my money will naturally be left to my family and my children, and my future husband will definitely not agree. I subsidize my mother's family."

Hidden Immortal objected softly in her heart, if she insisted, she should agree.

"I never said I wouldn't let you be the Young City Lord."

"You never said that you want me to be the young city lord."

City Lord Tang clenched his cup tightly to control his emotions, "Okay, since you want to change the tax for this matter, then I agree, you can use the city lord's seal tomorrow."

Tang Yue was surprised, the sun came out from the west?Why did he agree so suddenly, there must be some fraud in it.

Tang Yue stared at the man without answering, thinking about what he meant.

"Why, you made public opinion in the city like this, isn't it just to force me to agree to the tax reform? Now that I agree, don't you dare to bear the consequences again?"

"Of course not, I just suddenly felt that father, you are a reasonable person, and I was a little touched for a while."

"Don't play tricks, remember to come tomorrow. I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

Tang Yue sent him to the door of Ruoshuiju, "Send father off respectfully."

Tang Wenhua smiled sarcastically, turned around and left without saying anything more.
