Awakening ability

Chapter 225 Contracting a Country

This world is a feudal society, but for the common people in this society, the mountain that weighs on them is not just a feudal mountain.

The bigger and heavier mountain is the Xuandu sect.

They have to collect such a heavy tax every year, but they don't care about their life and death at all, and even curb their development opportunities when necessary.

From this point of view, sects are worse than secular regimes.

At least people will pretend to maintain social stability after collecting taxes.

The sect doesn't do anything.

Fang Hao's first thought of the education he received since he was a child was to overthrow such a corrupt existence.

However, this mountain is too heavy, and it is not an easy task to overthrow it.

Although there is resentment in my heart, I can only bear it.

He asked Qi Ying: "Director Qi, if I only develop industries in Taiqiu, will there be no problems?"

Qi Ying said: "As long as it doesn't expand beyond Taiqiu Kingdom, there should be no problem."

As he said that, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because sects generally don't pay attention to the affairs of the secular world. It's just that the Taiqiu country has changed, and no one will care. Even if they realize that there is a problem, it will probably be many years later."

Fang Hao understood what she meant.

That is, in the minds of those high-level officials of the Xuandu faction, ordinary people in the secular world have no status. They don't care about what happens in the secular world at all, and they don't actively understand it.

As long as it is not an earth-shaking change, it will not enter their sight.

Qi Ying added: "And even if they discover the changes in Taiqiu country, if the changes are only limited to this country, they will consider that you, a person from the earth, led them, and will not embarrass you too much."

Fang Hao had some disbelief: "Do we earthlings have such weight in the hearts of sects?"

He doesn't even believe that his compatriots who were born and raised here don't respect people from other worlds.

"Don't doubt this," Qi Ying said, "Your world is very important to the sect, and it will give you some face. Otherwise, the sect would not spend so many resources to help people in your world train supernatural beings gone."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Fang Hao asked.

Qi Ying pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's not convenient to say."

He said again: "But don't worry, the help to your world is real help, and you must also accept the help from the Xuandu faction, otherwise there is absolutely no way to deal with the threat of monsters."

Fang Hao shrugged: "Well, I believe what you said is true, and we really need your help."

There is nothing to say about this.

Without the help of the Xuandu faction, Huaxia would have already fallen into a monster crisis.

Just relying on those local untrained supernatural beings, it is absolutely impossible to kill those monsters.

In this matter, what Qi Ying said is true.

Although that's only part of the truth.

The Xuandu faction is so enthusiastic about helping the earth people, it should have their pursuit of interests.

It's just that Qi Ying didn't say anything, and he had no way to ask.

Leaving this matter aside, he came up with an idea:
"Director Qi, I have such an idea, that is, to contract Taiqiu Kingdom for ten to 20 years. I can contract the tax payment task of Taiqiu Kingdom with a standard that is 20.00% higher than the average tax payment in previous years, and use Lingshi to pay. The taxes due from Taiqiu Kingdom belong to me, and then during this period of time, I will decide the big and small affairs of Taiqiu Kingdom, and the sect will no longer interfere. I can go to the sect to pay the Lingshi in advance, so that the sect does not need to send tax ambassadors Here we go. How do you like it?"

He is treating Taiqiu Country as a poorly managed state-owned enterprise and wants to contract it.

If it is feasible, Taiqiu Kingdom will belong to him within the agreement period, and he can do whatever he wants.

To make such a suggestion, one is to ensure that the industrialization process of Taiqiu will not be interrupted in the next ten to 20 years.

Another reason is to go to the Xuandu sect to pay the Lingshi by myself, so that sect doesn't need to send tax ambassadors over, and the changes in Taiqiu Kingdom will not be discovered by the sect, which is relatively much safer.

He was able to have such an idea because he was inspired by the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Huaxia.

He has no way of evaluating what was right and wrong back then, but if the contract is successful this time, it will be of great benefit to him.

Qi Ying was stunned for a moment, she had never heard of such a thing, that someone wanted to contract the taxation of a country.

When I heard Fang Hao say that after the contract, the tax ambassador would not have to come over, I understood what he was thinking.

She also knew that if Fang Hao wanted to promote the industrialization of this country, he would definitely need a lot of gold and silver, not spirit stones.

It is not surprising that Fang Hao wants to use Lingshi instead of taxes.

Just a little curious: "Use spirit stones instead of taxes, where did you get so many spirit stones? Even if you contract for ten years, you will need millions of spirit stones. Do you have so many spirit stones?"

She has such financial resources, but Fang Hao, a newcomer from another world, where did he get so many spirit stones to contract?

She gave Fang Hao several 10 yuan of spirit stones, and Fang Hao probably used up almost all of them.

Even if a piece of Lingshi is useless, it can't offset so much tax.

Before Fang Hao made this suggestion, he calculated it.

He really doesn't have that many spirit stones himself.

According to the tax standards of previous years, Taiqiu Kingdom paid about 20 million taels of silver to the Xuandu faction in a year, which is [-] yuan when converted into spirit stones.

If it is contracted for ten years, it will be 200 million Lingshi.

If the contract is for 20 years, that is 400 million spirit stones.

Add 20.00%, that is 480 million spirit stones.

He currently has a charitable value of more than 5000 million RMB in the system. According to the exchange price of RMB in the system for Lingshi, 50 RMB can be exchanged for a low-grade Lingshi, [-] million RMB can be exchanged for [-] Lingshi, and more than [-] million RMB can be exchanged. The spirit stones I have are about [-] million yuan, which is not enough at all.

But he can take advantage of the bugs in the system to brush the exchange rate.

As long as it's not paid in one lump sum, it's totally fine.

Of course, this reason cannot be explained to Qi Ying, saying: "Director Qi doesn't have to worry about this, now Taiqiu country has a little foundation for industrialization and education, and the rest is to increase investment and promotion, and I don't need to If you are so busy, you can hunt monsters in exchange for spirit stones, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Qi Ying frowned and said: "This is close to the territory of the All Souls Sect. There is still a certain danger in hunting monsters. You are not strong yet, so there is no need to take such risks."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you do this? I'll bring your opinion to the sect. If the sect agrees, I'll help you pay the 20-year Lingshi, and you can return it to me slowly in the future."
