LRAB Chapter 189
Chapter 189
Chen Jing'an put himself in their shoes and stood in the position of the high-level officials of the Demon Suppression Division.
If they were destined to compromise with the Daqian royal family.
Then, what they had to strive for was to spit out the least.
This was not only related to their own interests, but also affected the hearts of the people below.
Especially for the Yuan family of the Demon Suppression Division, which had a huge influence within the Demon Suppression Division.
If one was not handled well, the prestige and connections that the Yuan family had worked so hard to build up for generations would be gone in one day.
…
At the same time.
Deep in the Daqian Palace.
Several foundation-building masters of the royal family, as well as the commanders of the Immortal Tax Division and the Military Division gathered here.
The Daqian royal ancestor was at the top, looked at everyone, and said.
"I asked you to raise the immortal tax, how did it go?"
Hearing this, the royal family masters took the lead in reporting their success.
"Reporting to the ancestor, the decree to increase the immortal tax for the foundation-building immortals has been issued to the immortals in all counties a few days ago. It is initially estimated that four points of the increased immortal tax share can be allocated."
The Great Qian Ancestor nodded and asked, "Does anyone object?"
The Royal Family True Person said respectfully, "Yes, I have listed the list, please take a look."
"No need, just hand it over to the Military Commander."
The Great Qian Ancestor waved his hand, "I granted them land in the Great Qian, but these people are unwilling to share the country's worries at the critical moment, so it's useless to keep them."
The word "useless" has already sentenced the fate of those immortals.
The commander of the Military Commander immediately stepped forward, took the list from the Royal Family True Person, and immediately retreated.
He didn't dare to interrupt.
The Great Qian Ancestor's posture today clearly showed that he was ready to squeeze money out of his subordinates.
The Military Commander should just be content with his duties, and there is no need to make trouble.
Otherwise, if he displeases the Daqian Emperor, he will be forced to share the immortal tax, and that will all come from the Jundusi.
As a commander, he will definitely become a sinner for all eternity.
Then, the commander of the Immortal Tax Department stepped out.
Their Immortal Tax Department is the money bag of the Daqian Emperor. They not only have the power to collect immortal taxes, but are also the major shareholder of the Treasure Pavilion.
This is a disguised way of directly controlling a part of the commercial tax benefits.
Commercial taxes are the bulk of the immortal taxes.
According to this logic, their Immortal Tax Department is actually the one that should pay the most.
But since the commander of the Immortal Tax Department can manage the money bag, it means that he has never lacked brains, especially a brain that can accurately guess the thoughts of the Daqian Emperor.
The Immortal Tax Department is equivalent to the private treasury of the Daqian Emperor.
If you let the Immortal Tax Department pay the most, isn’t that asking the Daqian Emperor to pay the most? Are you going to die?
The commander of the Immortal Tax Department knows the Emperor’s intentions.
Today, only the top leaders of the Demon Suppression Division were not present, which was actually very obvious.
He immediately knelt on the ground, his voice and expression were full of admonition.
"Please forgive me, the Immortal Tax Division has been burdened by the country's rats for many years, and there is really no way to pay the spiritual stones."
Seeing this, the Great Qian Ancestor's eyes flashed with approval.
This kid is rare to know what's good for.
He pretended to be dissatisfied: "You stand up and talk, and the commander is crying and making a fuss. What's wrong? Who is the rat you are talking about? Tell the truth and don't hide it!"
When the Great Qian Ancestor said this, the answer was very obvious.
This extra part of the immortal tax.
The local immortals will pay four points, and the remaining six points will be borne by the Demon Suppression Division.
This is a considerable amount.
The commander of the Military Division secretly sympathized, but that was all.
Because the Daqian Emperor wanted to take action against the Demon Suppression Division and deal with the problem of this group of people eating empty salaries, it has been a matter of one or two days.
However, there has never been a suitable reason before.
Moreover, Daqian needs the Demon Suppression Division to suppress the demon cultivators inside.
Now that the Black Demon Cult is mainly reconciling with Daqian, this undoubtedly handed a knife to the Daqian Emperor.
If the Demon Suppression Division wants to survive, it can only cut flesh from it until it can satisfy the Daqian Emperor.
…
In the second half of the night.
Commander Yang of the Demon Suppression Division went to pay a visit to the Daqian Emperor.
The Yang family and the Yuan family are the two largest factions in the Demon Suppression Division.
The position of the commander has always been transferred between these two families.
Therefore, the two families are highly consistent in their interests.
When Commander Yang learned that the Daqian Emperor wanted them to bear six points of the immortal tax, he almost fainted.
If this matter really fell on him, he and the Yang family would be drowned by the spit of the subordinates.
He argued with reason, and the worst that could happen was that he would die.
The Great Qian Ancestor was surprised at his toughness, and even had the intention to kill him several times.
However, facing Commander Yang who would rather die than agree to this condition, the Great Qian Ancestor could only choose to reduce his appetite.
As I said before -
Without the Demon Suppression Division, the Great QianSooner or later, it will become Da Qi.
Therefore, the Great Qian Emperor did not really want to make things out of control.
In the end, the two sides reached a plan that seemed to be a compromise.
The Demon Suppression Department will bear 5% of the immortal tax, and the remaining 1% will be paid by the Immortal Tax Department.
When the plan was fully implemented.
The benefits brought by the empty salary of the Demon Suppression Department were basically spit out 70%.
Although it is still profitable, the gap between the before and after is definitely unacceptable in a short period of time.
However, the Prison Department is an exception.
Their treatment has not been reduced, because the name of the apportionment is directly paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for asking the Immortal Tax Department for money, so this is equivalent to the Immortal Tax Department paying the spiritual stone for the Prison Department.
Due to the special nature of the Prison Department, this matter can be understood.
However, in this way, the Prison Department has become a hot commodity in the Demon Suppression Department.
For a time, many people tried their best to squeeze into the Prison Department.
But the warden and the prison secretary are not fools.
The biggest confidence of the warden is that they can stay out of the matter like today, not outsiders, but themselves.
The seventeen foundation-building masters are united.
If someone with bad intentions is allowed in, it will be digging into the warden's own corner.
Chen Jing'an is of course consistent with the people above.
He likes the current atmosphere of the warden and does not want outsiders to break it.
It is easy to gather seventeen foundation-building masters, but it is another matter to make the seventeen foundation-building masters trust each other and be willing to exchange inheritance and make progress together.
Old Chu is back too.
Chen Jing'an knows that Old Chu is not simple, but he still interacts with him as usual.
Because Chen Jing'an asked himself two questions in advance.
The first one is, is he willing to leave the warden now?
The second one is, will Old Chu be unfavorable to him now?
He knows that he is gambling.
However, the Changping Mu family is now powerful and backed by the Black Demon Cult.
Even if he leaves the prison warden and returns to Qinghe County, he may not be able to escape danger and may fall into the trap.
With Muchen's family's nature of sacrificing his relatives to heaven, there is no guarantee that he will attack at any time.
Between Lao Chu and Muchen.
Chen Jingan would rather choose Lao Chu who has not taken the initiative to change his identity.
At present, the group of demon cultivators in the prison warden are his greatest hope for a comeback.
