After all, he's not stupid.
Across the world, the real target of taxation is always the middle class.
The big bourgeoisie all collect taxes.
Who can exploit the strongest class?
They must be the strongest to exploit those below.
The matter of life tax has nothing to do with Ji Changsheng for the time being, and it should also be beneficial, so Ji Changsheng does not intend to object.
But this time the powerful people who eat melon finally couldn't hold back.
"What Emperor Chen said is inappropriate."
"We have gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers to reach this point. Emperor Gouchen will let us spend hundreds of millions of years of hard work in vain. I will never agree."
"What's the point of not agreeing? When a document from Heaven comes down, you have to accept it or not. Just be grateful and that's it."
Ji Changsheng glanced at the yin-yang guy, and then saw a big white bull.
Bull Demon King?
This guy still got the invitation?
But this guy is a bit arrogant, pointing at Haotian and scolding Heaven.
Although Haotian can indeed endure it, do you have a strong background like mine?
Haotian can tolerate me, but he may not be able to tolerate you.
"Brother Niu's words are wrong. This is just Emperor Chen's suggestion, and God Haotian has not yet agreed. God Haotian will never agree to such a retrograde suggestion that brings disaster to the world."
The Bull Demon King chuckled: "Any fool can see that Haotian and Gou Chen think of us as idiots when they sing together, but you can't see that."
"..."
Silence is today's Yaochi.
Ji Changsheng almost gave the Bull Demon King a thumbs up.
Brother, you are really awesome.
Dare to tell the truth no matter what.
Even a fool can see this.
But only a true fool would expose it.
Can you carry the new clothes of the Emperor of Heaven?
You are not allowed to mention it, do you understand?
Ji Changsheng didn't know whether the Bull Demon King really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.
In short, he knew that the Bull Demon King was definitely on Haotian's blacklist.
Looking at Haotian's somewhat stiff expression now, one can tell that God Haotian's mind should be almost as broad-minded as Emperor Changsheng's.
"cough."
The one who coughed slightly was Master Xuandu.
The Bull Demon King originally wanted to say something, but after hearing Master Xuandu cough, he reluctantly closed his mouth.
This scene gradually made murderous look appear in Haotian's eyes.
Originally, he was worried that the Taiqing lineage was behind the Bull Demon King's opposition, so he was just angry and had not thought about slaughtering the cow.
However, Master Xuandu coughed slightly and stopped the Bull Demon King from continuing to attack, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with the Taiqing lineage and was actually a spontaneous act of the Bull Demon King.
Haotian is really full of killing intent.
You have a black glove, do you think you are Ji Changsheng? Dare you show off in front of me?
If he hadn't practiced Ninja Dao, Haotian would have wanted to eat beef on the spot.
However, the Bull Demon King shut up, and there were still other powerful voices speaking out against it.
The "life tax" really involves the fundamental interests of all living beings under Da Luo.
Especially those powerful people who have been lingering in front of Daluomen for countless years but have not yet made a breakthrough.
Better to die than live.
If you don't die, you may still have a chance to break through Daluo. Once you die, everything will stop.
If they can't break through Da Luo in this life, they certainly don't think there is hope in the next life.
"Please, Great Lord, think twice."
"Since the great catastrophe of becoming a god, the prehistoric immortal world has been peaceful for thousands of years. If this order is issued, the prehistoric immortal world will probably be in chaos immediately."
"Great Heavenly Lord, there are many powerful people in the True King Realm in all the worlds. If many powerful people in the True King Realm unite, it will also be a great challenge to the ruling order of Heaven. Please, Great Heavenly Lord, reject Emperor Gou Chen's proposal."
……
The "life tax" will trigger collective opposition from the powerful, which is what Haotian expected.
With knives on their necks, the powerful men certainly cannot sit still and wait to die.
Therefore, Haotian has prepared countermeasures in advance.
He nodded slightly, first stopped the noise at the peach gathering, and then said to Emperor Gou Chen: "Emperor Gou Chen, since you have proposed this proposal, do you have any follow-up thoughts? My benevolent government will naturally not destroy the order of the world. We still have to take peace and stability as the overall situation.”
Emperor Gouchen didn't think about it at all.
But Haotian does.
Emperor Gouchen relayed on his behalf: "Order will not be destroyed. Even if the 'life tax' is introduced, the situation will remain peaceful and stable as always. Please rest assured, Great Heavenly Lord."
"Oh? Where did Emperor Gouchen get his confidence?"
Gou Chen said "confidently": "I have already visited Empress Houtu, and Empress Houtu voted in favor, saying that she can inhale reincarnation at any time for the powerful powers who are approaching their end and bring them new life."
The powerful people were collectively awe-inspiring.
Hou Tu voted in favor of Haotian's proposal. The emperor, the emperor, the queen and the soil have joined forces to have the ability to forcibly implement the "life tax".
This matter is indeed beneficial to both Haotian and Houtu.
Needless to say, Haotian's introduction of the "life tax" means that his rule is becoming more consolidated.
Hou Tu can also gain huge rewards, pulling those powerful people with short lifespan into reincarnation. What is powerful is her authority, and she has no reason to refuse.
Haotian seemed surprised by Gou Chen's initiative. "Empress Hou Tu actually agreed. It seems that I am too narrow-minded. With the support of Empress Hou Tu, order can indeed be much more stable. But God is merciful. Many Taoist friends have gone through hardships and achieved success in cultivation. I really can't bear to send them to death just because their deadline is approaching."
Even though they were crocodile tears, Haotian's words and actions still made many powerful people feel relieved.
Heavenly Court was forcing them so hard that they really dared to risk their lives. After all, Heavenly Court wanted their lives this time.
"Emperor Gouchen" is also prepared for this.
"Great Heavenly Lord is merciful, and there is a solution to this matter." Emperor Gouchen said: "There are many life-extending treasures in this world. The best ones are the flat peach in the hands of the Queen Mother and the ginseng fruit in the hands of Zhenyuan Immortal."
The powerful men instantly looked at the Queen Mother and Zhen Yuanzi.
The voice of Emperor Gouchen continued to sound: "If you eat the flat peach that ripens once in six thousand years, you will fly up to the sky and become immortal; if you eat it once in nine thousand years, you will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will have the same age. Life tax and flat peach It doesn't matter, everyone here today has the opportunity to taste the flat peach, so there is no need to worry about life expectancy. As for the rest of the people, they only want to be paid to the Queen Mother, and I believe the Queen Mother will not be stingy."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, everyone, the amount of flat peaches is still very large. As long as everyone needs it, I will never hide anything."
No one can laugh.
They all realize that this is boiling a frog in warm water and boiling it.
As soon as the "life tax" was introduced, the value of flat peaches more than doubled.
If you ask the Queen Mother for help in the future, the price you have to pay will be more than a hundred times higher.
From then on, Heavenly Court's control over them naturally increased.
This is definitely not good news for them.
Unfortunately, unless they attain Daluo, they can only let heaven harvest them.
Because the proposal of "Emperor Gouchen" weakened their interests, 90% of the interests flowed to the Daluo circle: God Haotian, Empress Houtu, Queen Mother, etc.
Only 10% of the benefits will flow to the bottom.
There are many creatures at the bottom, and they get the benefits and can take advantage of public opinion and moral advantages.
The people at the top are hard-fisted. They get the benefits and don't allow anyone to say no.
Therefore, these middle-class powerful people have almost no power to fight back.
Emperor Gouchen continued to show them the way forward: "In addition to flat peaches, there are also ginseng fruits of Zhenyuan Immortal. If you smell the ginseng fruit, you will live 360 years; if you eat one, you will live 47,000 years. There are flat peaches and ginseng fruits. Now, you don’t have to worry about longevity problems. The Queen Mother and Immortal Zhenyuan are both kind to people, and as long as you are willing to pay a small price, the Queen Mother and Immortal Zhenyuan will definitely be willing to lend a helping hand."
Zhen Yuanzi really didn't know about the "life tax" news.
He was generalized.
However, facing the gaze of the powerful people present and listening to Emperor Gou Chen's description, Zhen Yuanzi knew that this time the interests were divided, and he was the one who benefited.
If he is shameless, what will follow will be the full suppression of heaven.
Zhen Yuanzi... thought for a moment and accepted the dividend.
He actually doesn't care about such small benefits.
But he didn't dare not take it.
Chief, Nuwa Empress raised her eyebrows and said, "Zhen Yuanzi is weaker than I thought. I thought he would stay out of it."
As the "ancestor of the earth immortals", Zhen Yuanzi has a long history, is powerful, and holds the ginseng fruit tree, one of the five spiritual roots. In ancient times, he was once an enemy of Kunpeng. In the eyes of Empress Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi was of great importance.
But she had not had much dealings with Zhen Yuanzi.
The memory still remains in ancient times.
Ji Changsheng knew that there was a saint at the chief table, and the saint's conversation would not be heard by outsiders unless they were willing, so he chuckled and said: "Mom, the older you get, the less courageous you are. Zhen Yuanzi is not the former Zhen Yuanzi." Yuanzi. The most important thing is, if he doesn’t take it, how will the Queen Mother take it? If the Queen Mother doesn’t take it, how will God Haotian take it? If God Haotian doesn’t take it, how will the saint take it?”
This all has a chain reaction.
Generally speaking, the eating appearance of a superior person who pays attention to order will not be so ugly.
But the superior still has to eat.
If you want to look good when eating, you need people below to lay the steps.
In the end, they "reluctantly" took the big head.
If the people below don't take the small head, but they directly take the big head, wouldn't the conflicts and resentments be directly directed at them?
Zhen Yuanzi obviously understands this truth.
Empress Nuwa didn't understand, or she was too lazy to understand: "If it were me, I wouldn't take it."
Ji Changsheng smiled again: "So Zhen Yuanzi is not you. He feels old to me, and there is definitely no hope of becoming a saint. Teacher, I think he has a connection with Western religions."
Saint Zhunti was a little confused: "Changsheng, don't be so aggressive. Zhen Yuanzi is still very strong. He once fought with Kunpeng and they tied."
Ji Changsheng said with his own eyes that he was playing a fake match.
Of course, Zhen Yuanzi must be very strong.
A strong Da Luo is a Da Luo who achieves success on his own. There is no one who is not strong.
However, people like Tathagata who have always wanted to seek sainthood, including Dou Mu Yuanjun, who have always looked down on Nuwa, actually have a higher status in Ji Changsheng's mind.
Their spirit is still there, their courage is still there, and their strength is often stronger.
Zhen Yuanzi... even though he was very senior, in Ji Changsheng's eyes, he was already sluggish.
To put it simply, Zhen Yuanzi is lying flat and no longer thinks about how to go further. What he thinks about is how to maintain his current position.
This kind of big Luo is easy to handle, Haotian can handle it, and Ji Changsheng feels that he is no problem.
Ginseng fruit is included in the plan.
"Teacher, don't worry, I'm measured."
It wasn't just Ji Changsheng who was measured.
Haotian also has sense of proportion.
After Zhen Yuanzi joined the group, Emperor Gou Chen continued: "In addition to the flat peach in the hands of the Queen Mother, the ginseng fruit in the hands of Immortal Zhen Yuan, and many life-extending treasures in the universe, the life and death book of Queen Hou Tu also has the authority to control the life span of all souls. If you still want to give it a last try, go to the underworld of reincarnation to pay homage to Empress Houtu. With Empress Houtu’s consent, you can naturally extend your life.”
Once again, Empress Houtu was invited to join the group.
