Empress Master: Don’t go too far, evil disciple!

"Yes, I'm from out of town.

Xiao Yilang smiled awkwardly and said.

"That's not strange, you're also unlucky, you just came here and encountered this, I advise you, it's better to go back. "

Is this protection fee very high?" Xiao

Yilang asked curiously.

"Alas, it's not just high, the Secret Spirit Sect has to collect three layers of taxes a year. I

saw a middle-aged boss smile bitterly.

"After the Secret Spirit Sect collects it, the other immortal cultivation families in this New Spirit City will also collect a tax of one percent, which is four percent.

When Xiao Yilang heard this, he was surprised in his heart, this tax is too high, and it adds up to forty percent of the tax in a year.

"If it's just forty percent, you can still eat with a mouthful of food.

"But these people, not just harvest forty percent, once they encounter a disaster such as a demon clan attacking the city, the Secret Spirit Sect will come to make a move, and every time they make a move, the Secret Spirit Sect will not charge for it, but those immortal cultivators in the city will have to add another one."

"Seven or eight times a year, we still have to owe several percent of the taxes to the Xiuxian family, and we have to pay our pants, you say it's not black."

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yilang basically figured it out.

The Secret Spirit Sect is in charge of the entire land of Xizhou, while the Immortal Cultivator family is in charge of its own city.

Some cities are not just one immortal cultivation family, and some cities have several, more than a dozen immortal cultivation families.

These immortal cultivators unite to protect a city, and the responsibilities are shared together, and the taxes are naturally collected together.

The Secret Spirit Sect took thirty percent of the tax from the land of Beizhou, and it was so rich that it flowed oil.

The major families have to take 10% out every year, some cities take 20%, and some go too far to draw 30%, and the people who can't stand it are ruined, so they can only flee from this city and stay away from other places.

It's better to be a beggar if you go on like this.

But what Xiao Yilang didn't expect was that being a beggar also had to pay taxes.

Counting the poll tax, you have to collect one percent a year, but there is no three percent of the Secret Spirit Sect.

The beggar was already poor, where could he afford to pay taxes, and as soon as he ordered the odds and ends, he was directly robbed, barely able to mix up and be half dead.

Those who can't afford it will be thrown directly out of the city, and life and death will depend on their lives.

Why can't you see wandering beggars outside? Because there are no bones left that have long been eaten by the beasts and demon tribes outside.

Therefore, in order to survive, even if they become beggars, they have to pay taxes, and if they don't pay, they have no right to be protected, they are driven out, and they don't care if they live or die, they starve to death.

In the land of Beizhou, fertility is encouraged, and more children can be rewarded.

But not in the land of Xizhou, as long as any family is going to have a child, the thugs of the nearby Xiuxian family have been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

If you give birth to one, you will pay an extra poll tax, and if you give birth to two, you will pay two more poll taxes.

In order to survive, some families simply can't feed so many people, so what should they do?

Just strangle their children so that they don't have to pay the poll tax.

The world of Xizhou is too dark, and the Xiuxian family protects mortal cities, sucks the blood of mortals, and collects taxes in various names.

This is an impossible phenomenon in the North State, and it has been practiced in the West State for thousands of years.

Mortals have long been accustomed to it, and they dare to scold them shamelessly behind their backs.

Anyway, the monks don't want their faces, you can scold, you can talk, but don't scold in front of you, otherwise, if you don't like it, it will be light to beat you directly.

Killing will not kill you, this is not cost-effective for monks, killing a person is simple, the tax is less, who will have trouble with money.

Therefore, the monks turned a blind eye, which can be regarded as an alternative kind of freedom of speech.

When you get to a city, you have to pay taxes, and you have to pay them again, and the previous ones don't count.

Casual cultivators who do not have a family background, casual cultivators who come from other places, and mortals have to pay taxes.

There are monks and thugs patrolling the streets every day, and their task is to collect protection money, and they will check when they see people, especially the living, and they will have to check it, and it is all money.

"Where's your tax card?" Soon

, a dozen thugs came over, and the mortal boss respectfully paid the tax money and looked lively.

I saw that they surrounded Xiao Yilang, looked up and down and said.

"I am a monk from another country, and I don't have a tax card.

As soon as they heard that Xiao Yilang was from out of town, more than a dozen thugs were even more excited.

I saw one of the first-order monks flip through his hand and take out an iron plaque from the storage bag.

There are several words on the iron plate, there are three words "Xinling City", and there is also a "Tang" character.

Tang, on behalf of the immortal cultivation family, the thugs of the Tang family, as long as they engrave a mark on the iron plate, then they will be able to mix freely in Xinling City this year.

"I don't care where you're from, as long as you get to New Spirit City, you'll have to recalculate the poll tax. "

You are a monk again, the tax has to be higher, the secret spirit sect has a thirty percent tax, and the new spirit city adds another two percent, a total of fifty percent tax, how many levels of monks are you?"

I saw a big man ask with a smiling face.

"Second-order Spirit Realm. Xiao Yilang said calmly.

The expressions of the dozen or so big men did not change when they heard this, obviously they had seen too many second-order scattered cultivators.

"According to the average tax of the second-order casual cultivation in New Spirit City, you have to pay 10,000 spirit stones. Hearing

this, Xiao Yilang was shocked, this Nima, robbing the bank is not as fast as this money.

Made, as soon as he came to New Spirit City, he had to pay a protection fee of 10,000 spirit stones, which was just crazy, just like a robbery.

"I'm sorry, no money. Xiao Yilang said with a sneer.

"There's no money to do, either please leave Xinling City, or follow me to the Tang family to do things, you can reduce taxes, brother, see that you are a monk, ordinary mortals can be driven out directly." More

than a dozen big men are familiar with this, and they are not panicked at all.

"I think little brother, you should join the Tang family, you don't have to pay taxes, and you can also collect protection fees, how good. The

mortal who was watching the excitement next to him also kindly interjected.

The thugs also ignored it, apparently they had long been accustomed to it.

"Okay, then I'll join.

Xiao Yilang thought about it, it was better to mix around in this city for a few days first, and it would not be too late to leave after he was familiar with the customs of Xizhou.

"Sixth son, take him to the Tang family, and you will be a member of our Tang family in the future. The

big man led by him was also refreshing, and directly called a companion to take Xiao Yilang and walked in the direction of the Tang family.

"Alas, there's one more dogleg monk.

"It's good to be a monk, I want to have a few more children, maybe I also have a spiritual root to become a monk."

From a distance, Xiao Yilang heard the helpless voices of those mortals.

Xiao Yilang followed the big man named Liuzi and soon came to a gorgeous palace complex.

I saw that at the gate, a golden Tang family signboard was impressively on the door number, and the guards at the door were all monks.

Xiao Yilang followed the sixth son in, registered his name, and cultivated it, as for where he came from, he didn't need to register.

In Xizhou, casual cultivators like Xiao Yilang are too fast to liquidate, and they may not be able to work for a few days and leave.
