Chapter 147: Tax free for one year

Views:

The first decree from the King of Dongfang on his return to the thirty-six cities was issued!

The people in the major cities were originally not optimistic about King Dongfang's decree. After all, everyone could see that Captain Pang had too much power. Pang Taiwei has been running the business on behalf of Da Qin for four years. How can Wang Xiong easily shake him

Fighting for power often requires bloodshed. Why should you give the rights that others already have in their hands

However, when the people saw the content of the decree, everyone was stunned.

"What? Did I read that correctly? Tax-free for one year?"

"Tax-free? Tax-free? Doesn't it mean we don't have to pay tax?"

"In the past, when the old prince was here, the tax burden was light. Then, when Taiwei Pang came, the tax burden became heavy. With that tax, how much can I buy?"

"Is this decreed by the King of the East?"

"Is Dongfang King's words useful?"

"Damn it, it must be useful. It's my money. I must tell the old man to go there immediately. Don't pay the store tax!"

"The King of the East is anointed by the Human Emperor and the True God. I, the Lord of the Eastern Fiefdom, must keep my word!"

"My taxes, no, no, I don't have to pay taxes this year. I have to get my money back!"

… … … …

… … …

As soon as the decree came out, the whole city was in a state of excitement. This involved one's own property. With one year's tax burden, how much could be added to the family. And some heavily taxed industries are even more delighted.

"boom!"

The whole city boiled instantly, and countless people rushed to the government tax hall.

In the tax hall, there were still businessmen queuing up to pay taxes, when they suddenly saw a group of people from the outside rushing in.

"Brother, don't pay, the prince has issued a decree, tax exemption for one year!"

"Clan leader, you don't have to pay, you don't have to pay, hahaha!"

"Hurry, hurry, Mr. Zhang, return my money to me. The prince said that you don't have to pay taxes for a year. Hurry, return it to me!"

… … … … … …

… … …

The people who rushed in immediately surrounded the tax hall and blocked the waterside pavilion. Those who came to pay taxes with their property deeds were instantly confused and desperately guarded their money.

And countless tax officials were also confused.

"Impossible, there is no reason not to pay taxes!" an official shouted.

"The prince has issued a decree that you don't have to pay taxes for a year!" a commoner shouted.

"Asshole, how could the prince issue such a decree!" the official said anxiously.

"Go and see for yourself. Quickly, return my taxes to me first!" the people shouted.

"No, my East Heart City has the rules of the East Heart City. No matter what your decree is, I must follow the rules of my city!" the official said angrily.

"How dare you disobey King Dongfang's decree?" a commoner asked with wide eyes.

"Anyway, I don't care. I don't care about King Dongfang's decrees. Everything must be done according to the rules. King Dongfang has stopped intervening in taxation for a long time. He can't control these things. Don't use chicken feathers as arrows. Anyway, the rules here cannot be changed!" The official shouted.

"Bah, this is the Dongfang fiefdom, it belongs to the King of Dongfang, you old bastard, who do you think you are?"

"Dare to embezzle our money? Beat him to death!"

"We support the King of the East. The prince is considerate of the people and exempts from taxes. Do you still dare to rob us? Langlang Qiankun, this is the prince's domain!"

"kill him!"

"Get our money back!"

"Damn it, my money is not wasted by corrupt officials like you!"

… … … … … …

… … …

There was a "boom", as if a gasoline barrel was ignited, and the entire tax hall suddenly staged a full-scale martial arts display. There was chaos and numerous scuffles.

"Quickly, notify the guards, notify the police!" an official shouted in horror.

Soon, the city officials got the news, and police officers came one by one to maintain public order. However, when the police officers arrived outside the tax hall, their eyes were wide open, showing fear.

There were quite a few arrests, 200 of them. However, more than 20,000 people were crowded inside and outside the tax hall, and the number was still increasing. There were violent noises everywhere.

The sounds of scuffles and money grabbing were everywhere.

Looking at the irritable crowd, the policemen wanted to step forward to stop them several times, but they did not have the courage, because everyone could see clearly that these irritable people had lost their minds.

How much is the annual tax? How many people are desperately trying to get it back. If we don’t worry about scarcity but about inequality, why should others not have to pay taxes? Why should we pay taxes ourselves? You must return it to us.

Some big families pay a terrifying amount of taxes every year. They didn't dare to ask for it before. Now, the King of the East has allowed it. The King of the East has been canonized by the True God and the Human Emperor. Even if the King of the East doesn't send a single soldier, Dongfang King still can't ask for it. The king gave you a big banner. The name is right and the words are right.

We have a good reputation and we want to get our things back. What's going on? Even the prince agreed, how dare you petty officials

"Boom!"

Thousands of guards came.

However, as many as 100,000 people have gathered outside the tax hall. The terrifying number was overwhelming, and the thousands of guards were at a loss.

"Why didn't General Li come?" a general said with an ugly face.

"General Chen! General Li is from the Dongfang Palace. He doesn't listen to orders from Taiwei Pang's faction, so he doesn't want to interfere at all!" a subordinate whispered.

"Asshole!" General Chen said with an ugly expression.

"General Chen, are we going to stop him?"

"City Lord Zhao personally gave the order. This chaos must be suppressed!" General Chen said bitterly.

"City Lord Zhao belongs to Taiwei Pang, and of course he has to protect Taiwei Pang's rights. However, we are just small soldiers, how can we stop him? General, many of the people here are family members of brothers, and our subordinates dare not attack at all. Dead hand."

General Chen looked around, and sure enough, the attitude of the soldiers he brought was on the side of the people.

How to suppress this

"When gods fight, we brats will suffer!" General Chen said with a bitter smile.

"Boom!"

Except for Zhendong City, the other thirty-six cities were instantly in chaos.

When the people riot, that is a civil uprising, but it is initiated by the feudal landlords, who can suppress it? Who dares to suppress it

East Heart City. In the mansion of Taiwei Pang.

"Lieutenant, it's chaos, it's all chaos. Those unscrupulous people are rushing into the government, and even going to the government to steal money!"

"There is a city, and it even crashes into the city lord's palace!"

"Lieutenant, the people outside can't get their taxes, they are smashing things up everywhere, they are a bunch of unruly people, unruly people!"

"People who can't get money go around scolding the captain!"

"No matter whether they can get it or not, they are all praising Wang Xiong and thanking Wang Xiong!"

… … … … …

… … …

The people do not fight against the officials because they have no protection from the gods!

The people's hearts are as strong as iron, but the official laws are as strong as furnaces!

Nowadays, the greatest official protects him and gets his things back. Who is still afraid of the official

Lieutenant Pang and his staff suddenly looked extremely ugly as they listened to the reports from their subordinates.

"Captain, you must not compromise with these unruly people!" an official said anxiously.

"Yes, if the taxes are refunded, we won't have much funds. Then, we will be at the mercy of Wang Xiong!"

"However, if we don't compromise, the people will make an even bigger fuss. It's obviously Wang Xiong's fault, and it's just like we are causing the public resentment to boil over!"

"Lieutenant, the turmoil is too great. If it spreads to the capital of the gods, the reputation will not be good!"

… … … … …

… … … …

All the officials said anxiously.

Taiwei Pang was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said: "Lend money, tax refund!"

"What? No way, Lieutenant, once the tax is refunded, Wang Xiong will fall into Wang Xiong's trap!" an official said urgently.

"If you don't refund the tax, you have fallen into Wang Xiong's plan. If you don't appease the people immediately and the people's resentment boils, Wang Xiong can write to the capital of the gods and slander me. When the time comes, he will use the people's resentment to force all officials to withdraw from the eastern fiefdom. Come on!" Taiwei Pang said with an ugly face.

"Ah?" Everyone's expressions changed.

"What a ruthless Wang Xiong. You actually used this tactic! Use the people to drive me away? Huh, I won't let him succeed. I will notify him and refund the tax! First appease the people, and then slowly deal with Wang Xiong!" Mrs. Pang! Wei Han shouted angrily.

"Yes!" Everyone felt helpless.

----------

Not long after Captain Pang ordered the tax refund, people in major cities received the news. The moment everyone got the news, they all cheered.

"Long live the prince!"

"Long live the King of the East!"

"Long live the King of the East!"

… … … … …

… … … …

… …

The cheers of the people reached Taiwei Pang's ears, and there was another burst of harsh depression. Damn it, it’s me who pays you, but you’re grateful to Wang Xiong? What is this

The major cities in turmoil slowly returned to calm under a vigorous impact. After receiving satisfactory answers, the people also calmed down. They lined up quietly with their tax bills and received their refunds, laughing happily. Tell the story of this revolution. There is also Wang Xiong who is grateful to the Eastern Palace.

------

A commotion was suppressed by Captain Pang, but the news still spread to the capital.

God is in the study room.

The Imperial Censor, the Prime Minister of Qin, and others reported all this to the Human Emperor.

"Human Emperor, I feel that Wang Xiong's ten million spirit stones were premeditated. When he participated in the gambling game, he planned to force Taiwei Pang away!" Zhang Zhengdao, the imperial censor, said solemnly.

"Haha, this is a conspiracy. This Wang Xiong used it openly and without a single soldier to collect a massive amount of luck. At the same time, he defeated Taiwei Pang's arrangement. This Wang Xiong , It’s not easy, Human Emperor!” The Prime Minister of Qin also sighed.

"Pang Taiwei, do you still have money available?" the Human Emperor asked calmly.

"After all taxes have been refunded, Taiwei Pang still has some balance, but it should not be much. Unlike before, he can easily bribe all parties!" Prime Minister Da Qin said respectfully.

"This Wang Xiong is like his father!" the Human Emperor commented lightly.

------

The turmoil in the Eastern Fiefdom far exceeded the Wang family's expectations. Wang Tiance and others were all excited. They never expected that Wang Xiong's decree would be so powerful and follow his words.

Without spending a single soldier and mobilizing the people, Taiwei Pang can be killed and stripped of his armor.

During this time, the Dongfang Palace was filled with joy.

In addition to this piece of good news, there was also the golden light flying from Thirty-Six Cities.

These golden lights are the gathering of people's gratitude, this is the people's support and support, this is the luck that Wang Xiong needs, the luck of an eastern fiefdom.

Rolling golden light came from all directions, pouring into Dongfang Wang's Mansion, into Wang Xiong's mansion, and into the Dongfang King's seal in Wang Xiong's palm.

Dongfang Wang family, Daitian herdsmen!
