Chapter 327: Isn’t he just stalling for time?
In Falling Star City, almost all the people are holding back their anger, but if the soul sand is not sold, what is the use of keeping it in their hands?
How to buy rice without converting it into money? How to live?
“Damn Dales!”
Someone whispered through gritted teeth.
Some people gnashed their teeth and cursed secretly.
But in the end, most people chose to sell the soul sand on hand. After all, they could not hire anyone to escort them to other big cities, so they could transport the soul sand back home——
Also tired.
The servants and guards of the City Lord's Mansion also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though those guards were soul masters, facing so many civilians, they felt trembling in their hearts. If these people swarmed around them, they would also die.
but!
【Civilians are civilians! cowardly! Obscene! I don’t even have the courage to pounce! 】
The guards thought so in their hearts, and they were merciless and scolded:
"Why squeeze? Come one by one!"
"The city lord is willing to accept it." The soul sand and soul crystals in your hands pity you!”
"······"
In the midst of this scolding, the anger in the hearts of the people was rising, but after all, no one dared to be the first person, so they could only lower their heads and put the souls in their hands. Sand and soul crystals are sold at low prices.
When the team that exterminated the fallen ones returned home with a great victory, Zhou Qing saw this scene:
The roads in the city were full of bumps and bumps, and the people no longer dug soul sand and soul crystals. Their faces were angry and sad, but after seeing the team that exterminated the fallen come back and learning that the fallen had been wiped out, the people's faces finally became more joyful.
At least, they believe that since there are no more degenerates and no more bandits, they may be able to live a good life if they just swallow this breath and survive for a few years.
But is this really the case?
No.
The first thing that False Dares did when he came back was to raise taxes again. The reason was that in this operation to annihilate the fallen, if someone died, the whole city would need to pay for the compensation, and the fallen A super-large Soul Guidance Core Array is arranged underground in Star City. Although it has been destroyed now, in order to be more thorough, the roads and buildings will need to be slowly changed in the future.
And this all costs money!
Who pays for it?
All this is for the descendants of the people in the city to live a good life, so naturally it is the people who do it!
In an instant, the people in the city were even more resentful!
Looking at the angry faces of the people who dared not speak out, Zhou Qing felt a trace of intolerance in his heart, but then he became more determined in his goal of overthrowing the world.
Then——
Create a new world!
[Now, let’s try to see if the common people in this world really have that courage! The courage to wield a sword against the powerful! 】
[If you still can’t stand up under the guidance of the most intense and direct anger——]
[I will have to find another way. 】
When Tang San saw this, he became even more disgusted with Dares. If his Qing brother hadn't wanted to become a big deal and conduct an experiment, he would have assassinated such a person long ago. Most of the Tang clan disciples in previous lives did this.
However, Tang San now also understands that doing this will not solve the fundamental problem at all, and can only serve as a deterrent for a certain period of time...
After the celebration banquet, Zhou Qing and Tang San , Xiaowu, and Romantina moved into Dales' home.
Among them, Tang San and Romantina, one was a descendant of the Tang clan in his previous life and received Confucian etiquette education, and the other, although a pervert, had pretty good etiquette on the surface, so they both still had guests. look like.
But Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu completely regard this place as their home.
Xiao Wu has a carefree and unrestrained temperament, so naturally he will not deliberately make himself unhappy.
Zhou Qing's reason was much simpler. Dales was the enemy who killed his biological parents, and now it was a "surveillance period". He would have to be killed openly and openly, so what need was there to be polite?
After Dares inside the mansion learned the letter handed over by the fake Dares' order, he became more and more disgusted with Zhou Qing, and even wanted to order someone to assassinate him.
But if you think about it carefully, if something really happened to this man in his mansion, wouldn't it mean that he was in collusion with the fallen?
Maybe Norman would dare to bring someone to put him under house arrest in disguise!
Once the senior officials of Star Luo Empire and Wuhun Palace arrive for a thorough investigation later, even if he has a little connection with Zhong Dingxiu, they will not be able to save him.
Therefore, Dares did not dare to come forward and could only let the fake Dares hold Zhou Qing and others back for half a month to a month, while he himself secretly tried to find a way to divide the Luoxing Martial Spirit into the hall. The evidence was destroyed.
As long as the letter is destroyed, he will have more room for maneuver. No matter how severe the punishment is, it will only mean losing his position as city lord and being deprived of his status as a baron.
But he is a soul master himself! The connections in Xingluo City are out of reach, but in Luo Xing City, he is still the Earth Emperor!
Even if a new city lord takes office in Falling Star City in the future, he will still have to be checked and balanced!
Of course, this is the worst case scenario that Dales has ever considered. If he does it properly, he might still be able to retain his position as city lord, but at most he will lose a few years of salary——
You can definitely make up for it from the people in the city!
And he has also cooperated with Xiao Lang of Notting City. In the future, he can even contact other small towns and small towns to hold larger friendship soul master competitions. Tickets for one game can make a lot of money. Special profit.
But this is not the key. The key is that once this small town on the border between Tiandou and Xingluo is closely connected and has complicated interests, then as long as he provides a little guidance, the probability of unrest will be high. , and the reason for Star Luo Empire to attack Tiandou Empire will also be More and more fully...
“Lord City Lord, it’s not good to increase taxes as soon as you come back, isn’t it?”
At the dinner table, Zhou Qing talked about this matter, "I think you are going to postpone the tax until ninety years later."
Fake Darius twitched his mouth, how did he know this? He was just completing his master's order and said: "Ninety years later? This is too exaggerated! Twenty years at most! Moreover, the people who can live in the city have lived in the city for at least six generations. Who doesn't have a seven-year-old family?" A savings of eight thousand gold soul coins?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qing was stunned, feeling like he had returned to his previous life - an expert said, who doesn't have a savings of five hundred thousand?
How similar is it to what this fake Dales said?
There are indeed similarities in history!
In the process of tax collection in previous dynasties, the bottom executors probably thought so, right?
[This must have been said by Dales, this impostor was just repeating it...]
Thinking like this, Zhou Qing asked: "Oh? The people in the city are so rich. ”
“That’s it”
Fake Dares raised his head and said smugly, "Under my management, they can live such a prosperous life."
I just said that the people in the city have seven or eight thousand gold soul coins in savings, which is six Work hard on behalf of others···
Now he is saying that it is Tadales who governs well...
【Are you talking nonsense with me? 】
Zhou Qing sneered secretly, isn't he just stalling for time?
