Chapter 503 Consider it
Zhu Xiyue stared at Wang Lang and continued to speak.
"When the Ming Empire and the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas are connected, a large number of people will flock to the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas. Then, a large amount of resource materials can be collected and mined in a very short period of time. At that time, the price of resource materials will drop sharply."
"In that case, the overall benefits of going out for adventure and exploration will continue to decline. At that time, everyone's enthusiasm will be further dampened."
"By that time, most people will definitely not be willing to go out and explore. If that were the case, the overall strength of the Ming Empire's cultivators would surely increase very slowly. This would easily form a vicious cycle. In the end, I estimate that it would be difficult to resist the large-scale invasion of monsters."
"So, Brother Lang, let's discuss this tax rate."
At this moment, Qimanguli also wanted to speak, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
Qimanguli also felt that the tax rate was a bit high, and she wanted to talk to Wang Lang about it.
But she also knew that she couldn't say much in front of Zhu Xiyue. If she had to say anything, she could only say it in private.
At this time, Zhu Xiyue spoke again.
"Brother Lang, do you think this is okay? The ratio is still 60:40, but 40% is tax and 60% is profit."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lang immediately objected.
"No, no, you're being too ruthless. You just took 20% of my money. As long as the monks don't get lazy when they go out on adventures and explorations, and if they have a little better luck, then the things they bring back every day are definitely extremely valuable."
"You've cut my rate by 20% straight away. That's really too harsh. How about this, let's both make a concession and split it 50-50. At the same time, I can waive the teleportation fee."
"You also know that the teleportation formation consumes ten thousand year old beast souls and soul crystals, and each teleportation can be said to consume a huge amount of energy. Originally, I was planning to charge for each teleportation. Now that we have come to this point, in order to allow the cultivators of the Ming Empire to better adventure and explore and improve their cultivation strength in the Shanhai Dahuang world, I can waive the teleportation fee."
"No, Brother Lang, 50-50 is still a bit high."
As she spoke, Zhu Xiyue felt somewhat regretful.
She regretted that she was too anxious just now and should not have discussed the tax rate at this time.
If he was not guarding Qimanguli, but was alone with Wang Lang, then the issue of the tax rate would definitely be very easy to negotiate.
The worst that could happen is that I could satisfy Wang Lang in various postures.
"Fifty-fifty is still too high. Aren't you going too far? There should be a limit to bargaining, right? I have been in and out of the Ming Empire countless times before and brought you a huge amount of training resources, weapons, protective equipment, and various kinds of elixirs."
"You have already taken great advantage of me. Now you want to continue taking advantage of me without any willingness to pay anything back?"
After listening to Wang Lang, Zhu Xiyue thought for a moment and then spoke directly.
"Brother Lang, don't be angry. How about this, give me some time to think about it. Anyway, it's getting dark now. By the time the Creation Pillar is installed, it will probably be dark too. It's impossible to organize people to use the teleportation array to enter the Shanhai Dahuang world today."
"Then Brother Lang, please give me some time to think about it. Can I give you an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest?"
"Okay, okay, we are about to reach Shanhai Pavilion, so we won't say much."
Although the final tax rate has not been determined, Wang Lang is still very happy.
Because according to the current situation, the lowest tax rate will be set at 40%, which is higher than the bottom line in his mind.
After all, his bottom line is 30%.
Narcissus and the 30,000-year-old lovebird flew at high speed for another two or three minutes, and then they entered the Shanhai Pavilion.
Since most of the disciples of Shanhai Pavilion are now distributed in various cities, ready to resist the invasion of monsters at any time, Shanhai Pavilion now only has a few disciples to watch over the house, so it is relatively deserted overall.
Narcissus landed on the square at the foot of the mountain. Wang Lang jumped off its back and immediately got busy.
Originally, Wang Lang planned to place the Pillar of Creation on the mountaintop square, but after considering the convenience of later use, he changed his mind.
After all, the top of the mountain where the Shanhai Pavilion Main Hall and the Main Hall Square are located is about 1,500 to 1,600 meters above sea level.
Such an altitude is not difficult for monks. They can reach the top of the mountain in no time by jogging. But for ordinary people, it is not possible.
In the end, Wang Lang decided to place the Pillar of Creation at the foot of the mountain where the outer gate of Shanhai Pavilion was located.
There is also a huge square at the outer gate of Shanhai Pavilion, which is enough to accommodate the Pillar of Creation.
In other words, placing the Creation Pillar is very simple. You just need to take it out and place it in a suitable location. Then input a large amount of blood and spiritual energy to activate it completely.
Wang Lang took out a small Creation Pillar that was nearly three meters high from the Shennong Ding space, and then controlled it to place it in the center of the square.
Then he mobilized the blood and spiritual energy in his body and continuously input it into the Pillar of Creation.
The three-meter-high Pillar of Creation began to grow rapidly after absorbing blood and spiritual energy.
In just one minute, it had grown 20 to 30 times. At this time, its height had reached about 60 to 70 meters.
Wang Lang communicated with the Shennong Ding space and took out a handful of high-quality blood-replenishing pills and qi-replenishing pills and stuffed them into his mouth. Then, he continued to inject blood and spiritual energy into the Creation Pillar.
The height of the Creation Pillar is about 160 meters. Now it is only one-third of its size, so it still needs a lot of blood and spiritual energy to support it.
At this time, the Creation Pillar was also absorbing blood and spiritual energy from the air. However, the concentration of blood and spiritual energy in the air of the Ming Empire was still too low. The blood and spiritual energy absorbed by the Creation Pillar were extremely limited, so at this time it still had to rely on Wang Lang.
This is a tough time for Wang Lang, as the Pillar of Creation requires too much blood and spiritual energy, and it absorbs it very rapidly.
In less than a minute and a half, Wang Lang was almost drained dry. At this time, Wang Lang could only take drugs crazily while losing blood and spiritual energy.
Qimanguli and Zhu Xiyue, who were standing on the edge of the square, were already shocked at the Pillar of Creation that was bursting with extremely bright blood and golden light.
At the same time, the elders and disciples who were originally left behind to look after the Shanhai Pavilion were also shocked.
