Chapter 2159 Power is everywhere 1

() Liang Yong was shocked by this result, and continued to question, and more secrets were revealed. It turns out that Edward's power in Qizhou Island is far from being as great as it seems on the surface. People respect him only because of his ability in inventing new products. Contribution, for tens of thousands of years, he has helped many people innovate products, and made people who have nothing become successful business owners. People obey his words because they respect his knowledge and appreciate his help, so they are willing to listen to his instructions, as long as he proposes \r\n\r\n These are people's respect for his personal charm, not his power. Strictly speaking, he has no right to manage Qizhou Island, his only famous position He is the dean of Edison College. After tens of thousands of years of development, this Edison College has actually disappeared. Edward has already moved his teaching to the fields and to the factories of various workshop owners, where he completed experiments on new products. , to guide everyone to complete the renovation, \r\n\r\n The old site of Edison College is the old factory building he gave to Liang and the 2 square meters of land behind it. These are Edward's industries, the only industry, already It's all given to Liang Yong, so it's no wonder he can only give these to Liang Yong. \r\n\r\n Now that Liang Yong asks him to approve the land in Taiping Bay, he is naturally powerless and can only honestly explain the land of Qizhou Island The real governor is someone else, but he keeps a low profile and rarely shows up. He doesn't care about the daily affairs of Qizhou Island, but when he encounters major events, he has to find someone to handle them. \r\n\r\n Liang Yong Teeth itch with hatred, you wretched, shameless and bastard old monster, you have lied to me for so long, I have spent a lot of money to live here, and now I realize that the biggest security is a fake trick,\r \n\r\n But now it is useless to drag the old man to draw the scriptures, peel the skin and light the sky lantern. \r\n "What kind of old Dupont, is he an idiot like you?" Liang Yong asked viciously, \r\n\r\n "You bastard, how dare you call me an idiot." Edward hit Liang with his head Stick, Liang Yong couldn't guard against it, only then did he realize that this old man is still very powerful, and he should not offend too much,\r\n\r\n "But you can't lie to me like this, I feel uncomfortable." Liang Yong complained aggrievedly,\r\ n\r\n "It's okay to complain, but you have to respect me." Edward's awesome teaching didn't take Liang Yong's pain seriously at all. It turned out that the wretched and rogue old man appeared again, \r\n\r\n " Well, I am convinced, can you tell me about the situation of the old man DuPont, so that I can not delay my business." Liang Yong reluctantly compromised, \r\n\r\n "DuPont is from the mainland, he is a priest of the Holy Church, in our Before coming to Qizhou Island, he was the governor of the island." Edward made a brief introduction, then added after thinking of something: "By the way, those people in the city hall are all his subordinates now, and they come from the mainland."\r\n\ r\n After his introduction, Liang Yong waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the next one, and asked eagerly: "anything else. "\r\n\r\n "No, that's all I know. "Edward said frankly, \r\n\r\n "Damn, what do you call an introduction? It's too simple. You've been dealing with them for tens of thousands of years, and you only know this. You can't believe it." Liang Yong yelled, \r\n\r\n "Cut, I don't have friendship with them, why go to inquire about them. "Edward disdains, \r\n\r\n "But you always go to the city hall to do business and communicate with DuPont about the island's affairs. "\r\n\r\n "What is there to communicate, I don't have to pay taxes, and I don't have to buy land, so I don't bother to bother them." "\r\n\r\n "哐嘡" Liang Yong was completely speechless to the old man. Walking alone, these scientific inventions cannot survive on the feudal Immortal Continent. He developed on Qizhou Island through the relationship with Shengjiao. In addition, the local aborigines are still uncivilized primitive people, \r\n\r\n DuPont was in Qizhou Island at that time, he preached to this island as a priest of the Holy Church, and was canonized as the governor of Qizhou Island , governs Qizhou Island, and that manor is where Du Pont lives. Du Pont is a supporter of the holy religion, so naturally he cannot accommodate Edward, but under the pressure of the holy church, he still set aside a piece of land for Edward to establish Edison College. \r\n\r\n DuPont is a strange person. Although he is the owner of Qizhou Island, he never manages it. He leads his dozens of subordinates. He patrols the island twice a year and charges the locals a certain amount. I don’t care about anything, so I don’t know how many years he has ruled Qizhou Island. Qizhou Island has always been a barren place.\r\n\r\nIt wasn’t until Edward’s arrival that Qizhou The island is gradually rejuvenated, spreading civilization to allow human beings to evolve, and leading primitive people to develop productivity. After tens of thousands of years of development, Qizhou Island has its current scale. Liang Yong sees the scale of the city now, as well as these complete infrastructures , all built by Edward with self-raised funds from the people, Edward's influence in the hearts of the residents is naturally greater, not only Liang Yong, most residents think that Edward is the governor here,\r\n\r\n As for DuPont, it is still the same He was so low-key, except for the tax season twice a year, his subordinates would be dispatched to various places to collect taxes. Later, he thought it was troublesome to collect taxes, so he directly built a city hall next to the central square of the city for people to go in and pay taxes. The biggest function of the hall is to collect taxes twice a year. \r\n\r\n Edward has privileges and does not have to pay taxes. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, the only chance for him to meet DuPont was at Qizhou Island just now. Once, the two of them haven't even met each other since then, so naturally they don't know much,\r\n\r\n "How can there be such a government in the world, who doesn't care about anything other than tax collection, and just sits in the municipal office?" The government collects taxes, how does he know if the tens of millions of people have paid taxes, how much they should pay every year, and what if they don't pay. "Liang Yong sighed curiously, \r\n\r\n "DuPont collects taxes based on the head. The current standard is 2 taels of silver per person per year, paid in two installments. Confirmed on the Internet, as far as I know there are people who do not pay taxes, but that was a long, long time ago, but those who did not pay taxes will die suddenly and inexplicably after ten days overdue, even the cause of death Can't find out. A trace of cruelty flashed in Edward's eyes, obviously he was not hiding the inexplicable sudden death of these people, \r\n\r\n "It's too cruel, DuPont must have killed these people. "Liang Yong said angrily, it seems that DuPont is definitely not a good thing, how can there be such a cruel tax, people will kill people if they don't pay, \r\n\r\n "Liang Yong, we can't control these things, according to the current situation The standard is 2 taels of silver per year, everyone can afford it, it is better to pay taxes properly. "Edward seemed desolate at this time, and he had no choice but to persuade him that he was able to build Qizhou Island to its current scale, so it was not the result of his understanding of compromise. is already happy,
