Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Donglai County, Jingyue Sect, inside the cave mansion, a man pushed the door and entered, bowed to the old man sitting cross-legged inside, and said, "Meet the head teacher."

"what's up?"

"Sun Rongxuan has come and said he wants to visit you, and he is waiting outside the sect."

"Ask him to meet in the meeting hall!"

The man left at the sound, and before it was time for a cup of tea, he returned to the mansion: "Teacher, you have been received in the meeting hall."

"En." The old man nodded slightly, and it took him a long time to get up slowly and leave.

In the solemn and solemn hall, a thin middle-aged man was sitting upright. Seeing the old man enter from the outside, the man stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Peng, you are taking the liberty to disturb me."

"Sun Daoyou is polite. I haven't seen you for many years. Sun Daoyou is more handsome than before. Come on, please take a seat."

The two greeted each other and divided the guests into seats.

Sun Rongxuan said: "Fellow Daoist Peng, I came here to bother you today because I really need to communicate with the noble sect. I heard about the former that the tax that the noble sect will pay to the sect has not been fully prepared. There is such a thing ?"

"That's right. The month before last, Fellow Daoist Duan Qiyi, a subordinate of your ministry, came to inquire about this matter. Due to some sudden changes in recent years, our sect's finances have not been spent, and the pressure is very high, so we can't make up the tax payment to your sect for a while."

"I don't know how long the noble sect will need."

"Our sect is indeed in financial difficulties, Daoyou Sun, as you know, in recent years, the chamber of commerce has cooperated with Nether Sea, crowding out many of our industries. As early as during the Qinghai War, in order to prevent the invasion of the Mubei monsters, our sect had put Laodi Empty, after these years, each year is not as good as each year. Up to now, the Zongmen finance can only pay the disciples' salaries, and there is really no more to come out."

Sun Rongxuan frowned slightly: "What does Fellow Daoist Peng mean? Could it be that your sect wants to follow the example of the Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi sects and establish itself in Donglai County?"

"No." The old man smiled and said, "Friend Daoist Sun, don't get me wrong. Our sect definitely doesn't mean that. It's just that the sect's finances are really tight. Can your sect be a little more accommodating?"

"Accommodating? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Peng is asking this sect to exempt the noble sect from paying taxes for a hundred years?"

"I also ask your lord to be more considerate of the difficulties of my sect. My sect does not dare to ask for a complete exemption from tax payment. Can you properly charge a little less. Sun Daoyou, look at this, my sect will hand over [-]% of the donation first. Taxes, and the rest should be written down, and will be handed over to the noble emperor when the money is abundant and the financial pressure is relieved in the future."

Sun Rongxuan sneered and said, "Your fellow Daoist Peng is looking for fun! Yicheng, are you sending beggars away?"

"Our sect is indeed in financial difficulties. Fellow Daoists are requested to report this matter to the head teacher of your sect. Please be accommodating to your sect."

"Fellow Daoist Peng, why didn't your lord directly declare his own sect, wouldn't it be more justifiable?"

"Fellow Daoist Sun, don't get angry. Our sect has absolutely no intention of establishing our own family. It's just that the sect's finances have been failing recently. This old man begged for your understanding."

"I was sincere and hoped to have a good discussion with Guizong, so I came to visit in person. I didn't expect Guizong to have such an attitude. It seems that I was unnecessary. In this case, don't bother Peng Daoyou Qingjing, and Sun will leave. "

.........

Xuantang City, Huajian Pavilion, Fengwei Mountain, a wind spirit boat slowly sailed into the inner room through the light curtain, and everyone gathered in the meeting hall.

Above the main seat, Xie Minghua, the head of the first brigade, and Huang Yuan, the head of the directly subordinate brigade, sat side by side, and below sat the stewards of the first brigade and the directly subordinate brigade.

It was another hundred years of tax collection. As usual, the alliance dispatched directly subordinate brigades to collect taxes from the Taoist sects stationed in the subordinate pavilions.

It's just that this time is different from the past, the specification has been adjusted up a little bit. In the past, the team was led directly by the deputy captain, but this time, Huang Yuan personally led the team to collect.

Gein's recent situation has been quite unstable. Affected by other counties and counties in Qingzhou, some sects in Donglai County are already ready to move.

Prior to this, the alliance had heard a lot of gossip. It was rumored that there were many sects in Xuantang City privately discussing not to continue paying taxes to Taixuanzong. The alliance attached great importance to this tax collection and sent Huang Yuan to supervise it personally.

Tax collection is not only a large amount of financial income, but also a symbol of the stability of Taixuanzong's ruling position.

At present, most of the sects in Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan have changed their banners and established their own sects. The big and small sects in Dongnai County are still waiting to see, so the collection of taxes is particularly important.

This represents whether the big and small Xuanmen in Donglai County are still willing to submit to the rule of Taixuanzong. To put it bluntly, if it is not handled properly, this tax collection may even directly lead to the rebellion of Xuanmen in Donglai County.

On the main seat, Huang Yuan said in a low tone: "I won't go into details about the importance of this tax collection. Not only our wing, but also the column and legion have received corresponding news. Many sects have already Just around the corner, I want to make a fuss about this matter."

"Now is the time to test the ability of the disciples of each department. The alliance requires that the tax collection of Xuantang City must be properly completed. You all need to act with your heart and persuade those sects that are about to make a move. No matter what means you use, you must pay the due tax For collection."

Xie Minghua continued: "According to the information we have, the most troubled one in this city is the Qianjia Sect. They are the leaders of many sects below who are secretly contacting each other, preparing to fight against this sect on the matter of tax payment."

"However, Qianjiazong doesn't need us to worry too much. The head of the department and Inspector Hao will find a way to deal with them. What we need to solve is the sects within the jurisdiction of the department."

"Because the area under the jurisdiction of the headquarters belongs to the Qianjia Sect's sphere of influence, the sects stationed here are closely related to the Qianjia Sect. If we can properly solve these sects and collect taxes, the Qianjia Sect will be in a situation of fighting alone. Naturally, I won’t be able to cause any trouble, and I will obediently pay the due taxes.”

"On the other hand, if Master Fang and Supervisor Hao can convince Qianjiazong, if the leader is taken down, the other sects will definitely become disorganized."

"This is a two-pronged strategy. No matter which side succeeds, it can disintegrate them, but if both sides lose, the consequences will be very serious."

"In addition to the Qianjia Sect, the three C-level Taoist sects in this city, the other two Xuanmen Liuyun Sect and Huayuan Sect, although they did not join forces with the Qianjia Sect, it does not mean that they will obediently pay taxes. In other words, they are still on the sidelines.”

"If the tax collection goes well this time, they will naturally pay the tax one after another. If it is not so smooth, they are likely to follow the example of Qian Jiazong. At that time, the headquarters may fall into the tax revenue of a sect. Situation where collection cannot be made.”

"That's why this time the alliance has dispatched a directly subordinate brigade to first collect taxes on the sects within the jurisdiction of the headquarters. As long as the tax collection on Qianjiazong and its influential sects under its jurisdiction is successfully completed, the other sects will be taxed next." Tax collection will be much smoother.”

"The difficulty in this matter is that we should try to avoid direct conflicts with them, otherwise it is very likely to cause an unimaginable situation. They must be willing to pay their taxes, so the method is very important."

"Now let me introduce the specific situation of the sects under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. Of the ten sects in the headquarters, the String Music Sect stationed in this pavilion and the Tianya Sect in Xinyiting are the most powerful. All sects have monks at the level of deity. Among them, the two parties are the most active in this matter."

"After my discussion with Senior Brother Huang, the two sects will be settled by me, Senior Brother Huang, Junior Brother Ren Quan and He Lian."

"Xu Ziyi and Yu Qingxiao are in charge of the Tiance Sect."

"Xuanyan Sect by..."

Xie Minghua assigned tasks to everyone one by one, and explained the differences and key points of each sect in detail. The discussion ended after more than half a day, and everyone took their orders and left.

……

In Chuyuan Mountain, in front of the huge cyan light curtain, two rays of light shot down, revealing two figures, one with a handsome face, it was Tangning.

The other man was tall and burly, and he was Ma Long, the newly promoted captain of the fifth team of the first brigade, who was originally a disciple of the guard hall of the brigade.

The two had had a lot of contact before. When he was interrogated in the brigade because of Lin Quan's case, it was Ma Long who took his place.

Therefore, when he was transferred to the direct brigade as the steward, with the support of Xie Minghua, he successfully took over the stewardship of Jing Yuanting.

This time, the two were ordered to come to Xuanyezong to collect taxes together. After waiting for a while outside the formation, they saw a gap in the light curtain melting, and a figure flashed inside, a Jindan disciple Jishou dressed in Xuanyezong's costume. Salute: "The junior has seen the two seniors, the head teacher invites the two seniors to enter."

The two of them followed him into the inner room and came to the meeting hall. After waiting for about a stick of incense, Chen Jin, the head teacher of Xuanyezong, entered with a smile on his face and saluted from the outside: "You two fellow Taoists are here, and we are far away to welcome you. , forgive the sin and forgive the sin."

"Headmaster Chen, you don't have to be polite, we are all old friends, to tell you the truth, this time when Tang Mou comes to Jingyuanting, he is quite timid about going back to his hometown."

"Since Daoyou Tang was promoted to be in charge of your department, this should be the first time to return to Jingyuan Pavilion!"

"That's right, aren't you here to visit an old friend?"

The two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and divided the guests and hosts into their seats.

"The two fellow Taoists came to our sect together this time, probably not to chat with Mrs. Chen, we are old friends, so let's get straight to the point if you have anything to do! Our sect will do our best."

Ma Long said: "Chen Daoyou is so open and straightforward, I won't hide it, this time Brother Tang and I were ordered to come here to collect the taxes that the noble sect should pay, I wonder if the noble sect is ready?"

"How did your lord come to collect it so long in advance this time? In the past, you had to wait until June and July before it was time to pay the tax."

Tang Ning said: "The premise is two or three months, so that everyone can prepare. Master Chen won't tell me, because it was a few months ahead of time, so your family didn't have time to prepare, right? I remember Master Chen and I As I said, the tax paid to the sect is deposited by the noble sect every year according to a certain amount, and it will not be because of these few months that the noble sect will not be able to produce the spirit stone!"
