Chapter 486 Tax Collection

boom……

There was a bang, and then the round cover of the Shennong Ding flew up. A black shadow rushed out of the Shennong Ding and landed directly on the surrounding bluestone slabs.

Seeing the three-meter-high Pillar of Creation falling on the bluestone slab next to the Shennong Ding, Wang Lang burst into laughter.

hahahahahahahahaha...

Hahaha……

After he finished laughing, he immediately started muttering with a smile on his face.

"Good, good, great, I have successfully refined another Pillar of Creation. Now I have two Pillars of Creation, one for the Tang Dynasty and one for the Ming Empire. This can solve my urgent problem."

Just after successfully taming the 50,000-year-old Qiongqi, Wang Lang went on an all-out adventure and exploration in East Island for three days.

At that time, the red-quality ore materials and red-quality plant materials he collected and excavated were enough to refine four Pillars of Creation.

Since he only had three or four days left before reaching the Ming Empire, he stopped his adventure and returned to Dongshan City to concentrate on refining the permanent teleportation formation, permanent defense formation, and the Creation Pillar.

At the beginning, Wang Lang refined a permanent teleportation formation. After six hours, the permanent teleportation formation was successfully refined.

After the one-time success, his self-confidence was overflowing, so he directly refined the Pillar of Creation.

Unexpectedly, after twelve hours of refining, it was successful in one go.

Wang Lang was absolutely delighted at that time. Then, without any hesitation, he once again invested the required resources and materials and chose to directly refine the Pillar of Creation.

Unfortunately, the refining failed this time.

About two-thirds of the resource materials were directly turned into slag, becoming useless waste.

About two-thirds of the resources and materials were lost at once, which made Wang Lang very sad.

However, no matter how sad it is, the Pillar of Creation still needs to be refined.

Fortunately, the refining result this time was good, otherwise Wang Lang would definitely cry to death.

"Damn, this is too exciting. If someone has a weak heart, they definitely won't be able to handle it."

"Now that we have two Creation Pillars, we can install the Creation Pillars after we enter the Ming Empire in the next two days, and completely connect the Ming Empire and the Shanhai Dahuang World together."

"When we enter the Tang Dynasty in half a month, we can also connect the Tang Dynasty with the Shanhai Dahuang world."

After a slight pause, Wang Lang continued to mutter.

"After the Ming Empire, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas are connected together, people from the Ming Empire and the Tang Dynasty will be able to enter the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas at any time."

"Ordinary people can seek refuge in the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas. While seeking refuge, they can also make use of the rich blood and spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas, as well as the help of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, to better awaken their talents and qualifications and become cultivators."

"And those original cultivators can also enter the world of mountains and seas, and then go out for adventure and exploration. Not only can they quickly improve their cultivation strength and overall combat effectiveness, they can also find and subdue their favorite exotic beast partners, and they can also collect and mine various resources and materials."

"However, as more people come in the future, it will be impossible for them to work for nothing. But this world of mountains, seas and wilderness completely belongs to me. If I let those cultivators collect and mine resources and materials at will, I will be at a great loss."

Wang Lang paused after muttering this. His mind raced, thinking rapidly.

However, he thought about it and couldn't think of any particularly good way to solve this problem.

"Oh, how annoying!"

While muttering, Wang Lang communicated with the space of Shennong Ding and took out 100 pieces of red quality ore materials and put them into Shennong Ding. Then he controlled Shennong Ding to start refining red quality weapons.

What Wang Lang wants to refine this time is a red-quality melee weapon, so he only needs to invest in red-quality ore materials.

If he wanted to refine long-range weapons, he would need to invest some red-quality exotic animal materials such as exotic animal tendons.

If you want to refine supernatural weapons, you will need to invest some red quality plant materials.

If you want to refine protective equipment, you will need to invest more red quality exotic animal skins, bones, or scales and other exotic animal materials on the basis of red quality ore materials.

Flames appeared under the Shennong Ding, and the entire Shennong Ding immediately turned red. The refining process had begun.

At this time, Wang Lang continued to mutter.

"We can't let those monks continue to work for free. It's also unrealistic to pay them to go out and collect and mine various resources. After all, if the money they pay is lower than the price of the resources they collect, no one will be willing to hand over those resources."

"If we pay more than the value of the resources, wouldn't that be a loss? If that's the case, we might as well wait until they get the resources back and then directly make an offer to buy them!"

"It's definitely not possible to just pay to recycle those resources and materials. If that happens, I'll still lose money. I can either collect taxes or let them pay first and then go out and explore on their own."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Lang continued to mutter.

"Relatively speaking, collecting taxes is more reliable. If you collect and dig up more resources and materials, you will pay more taxes. If you collect less, you will pay less taxes."

"If you pay first and then go out on an adventure, the price will definitely be higher. In this case, if you go out and collect and dig up too few resources and materials, you will definitely lose money."

"Okay, then let's collect taxes! But how should we collect taxes, and how much should we collect?"

After deciding to collect taxes, Wang Lang started thinking about this aspect.

Soon, he started mumbling again.

"Going out for adventure, exploration, gathering and mining resources is relatively dangerous. People go out to risk their lives, so I can't charge too much tax. Half is impossible, 40% or 30% is about right. If it's lower, I feel like I'm losing out. After all, this world of mountains and seas belongs completely to me."

"The tax collection method is also simple. In the future, we will arrange for the city guards to open four entrances to the barrier light shield in the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions of the city. Whether entering or leaving, you can only go through these four entrances. You won't be checked when you go out, but you must be checked when you come back."

"Mineral materials, plant materials, exotic animal materials, and the source of elements that may appear in the future, the source of heaven and earth, etc. As long as there is something valuable, it must be taxed. At that time, it will be calculated based on the total value. It doesn't matter whether you directly use resource materials to offset it or pay for it."
