Lords Of All People: Am I The Only One Who Is The Fallen Empire?
Chapter 231 New Taxation Policy
"ah?"
"I protest!"
Although Bai Hexiu didn't know what had just happened, protesting at this moment was definitely the right choice.
"The protest is invalid!" Gao Qiang dismissed Bai Hexiu's protest without hesitation.
"Well, now that you have decided on your idea, please follow me."
Henry stood up and motioned with his eyes to the adjutant to lead the way.
The adjutant nodded understandingly, and then led everyone to the top of Yongle Pass.
With the thickness of this embankment, even if hundreds of people walk side by side on top of this embankment, they will not feel crowded at all.
Unfortunately, the locations that were once used to house the giant cannons have all been reduced to charred black.
Standing on a piece of pure land that had not been bombed, Henry took out the share documents and looked towards the sea below.
Since the sea fortress was attacked, in addition to the ceasefire Guards fleet, several fleets belonging to the company came to support.
But what they didn't expect was.
Even though they arrived quickly enough, the headquarters was still attacked by Gao Qiang.
Lost the board order.
When facing the century-old ship blocking Yongle Pass, not a single captain chose to open fire.
Clearly, they were hesitant.
But now that Henry took out the company's share documents, he broke the hesitation in their hearts.
As a captain who hangs around the company headquarters.
They were no strangers to Henry as governor.
Rather, sitting in such a high position, many people have some personal relationships with Henry, and no one can tell the relationship.
Now that I saw that the person who had taken the company's share documents was Henry, even though many people were dissatisfied, they did not make any strange noises.
But the next moment, a captain discovered that warships on his side were quietly surrounding him.
Henry stroked his mustache, with a smile in his eyes.
As the governor of the company, it is not difficult to instigate a small number of captains to rebel through the company's network of connections.
As early as when several nearby fleets were heading towards the sea fortress, he had already tried to get in touch with some of the captains.
The number of these people is small, but the threat they pose is huge.
Because at this moment, except Henry, no one else knew how many people had turned to Henry's side.
If those who defect are the majority, wouldn’t they become traitors?
Many captains looked at each other from a distance and confirmed each other's eyes.
Well, it’s impossible to tell whether they are friends or foes.
At this point, there is only one option to ensure your own safety.
I saw a well-dressed captain walking to the bow of the ship, facing Yongle Pass, taking off his captain's hat and bowing slowly.
Yes, choosing to persevere means putting your risk before the loyalty and conscience of others.
And this is exactly what the company's captains lack the most.
Under the psychological game, the risk of defection is minimal. As long as everyone chooses to defect, the risk of defection will be directly reduced to zero.
In the end, it was just as Henry expected.
All captains, including the Guards Fleet, finally chose to acknowledge their status.
"Then, since everyone has no objections, I will announce the new law next!"
Henry took out a pre-written note.
"After I take office, companies will implement a new tax bill."
"On the basis of the original tax law, we need to increase taxes to protect foreigners!"
"Hiding foreigners secretly will increase taxes!"
"If you don't take hostile measures when you see foreigners, you will also have to increase taxes!"
Listening to Henry's tax increase policy, many captains took a breath, and there was a silence on the sea.
But the next moment, Henry continued.
"Every time you capture a foreign lord, you can get a tax deduction."
Tax deduction?
Many captains looked stunned.
How long has it been since this scary word appeared in the company's dictionary?
Such vicious words, if Henry didn't mention them today, no one would be able to remember them.
"Is this true?"
A captain shouted loudly.
Henry glanced at the speaker's position.
"Add another one, questioning the tax credit bill and raising taxes!"
After hearing Henry's words, the person who just questioned obediently shut his mouth.
But speaking of this, many captains already understood Henry's determination.
It is conceivable that after today's words spread, the sea will change.
After all, in this sea, even plunder requires taxes!
Only under the company's rules can we understand how tempting the tax deduction is.
From now on, the lords of the blood clan and the sea clan will no longer be ordinary lords, but walking tax coupons.
As long as the company survives for a day.
No governor, pirate or merchant could resist this temptation.
...
"Where are our enemies hiding?"
On the Phoenix, Mike was holding a new pipe and angrily scolding his generals.
Many days have passed since the siege.
Because of the emergence of the century ship, the military's losses were less than imagined.
After reuniting the leadership, Mike did not hesitate to summon thousands of military lords and swept towards the nine major waterways.
This time, even if he was besieged by three parties again, Mike could barely guarantee his superior firepower.
However, what Mike didn't expect was.
When he tried to find the blood clan and sea clan lords, he couldn't find them?
On top of a huge sea.
The Blood Clan and the Sea Clan, which had been rampant for several years, seemed to have disappeared from the world, and the Intelligence Department could not find even the slightest bit of news.
"It's the company."
A voice came from behind Mike.
Yoloy walked slowly to Mike's side and told the intelligence collected by the special operations force.
"The company has issued a tax deduction policy for vampire and sea lords, which has led to a hunting craze on the sea."
"In addition to governors, merchants, and pirates from various places, even adventurers have joined this grand carnival."
"That is to say, for now, there are more monks and less meat, so those lords should have no share of us."
Listening to what Yuloy said, Mike fell into silence for a while.
The superior firepower that he had worked hard to cultivate for several years was now told that he could no longer use it?
This gave Mike the feeling of having accumulated strength for a long time and then punched cotton.
At this time, the war game prompt sounded.
[In this war game, the number of surviving lords is less than 50%, and the war victory conditions will be triggered. 】
"I didn't expect it to end so soon."
In the headquarters, Gao Qiang raised his head and looked out the window.
The time when war victory begins to be determined is when the number of surviving lords falls below 40%.
At this moment, under Yongle Pass, slave ships filled with iron cages came in one after another. Inside the iron cages were all the blood clan and sea clan lords.
