"centralization……"

As soon as this fresh noun was released, everyone here fell into deep thought. Many people had already vaguely guessed what Zhou Chen meant.

It’s just that the strongest people are inherent in fantasy civilization, and the strongest concept of the sect still makes them unable to react.

Seeing everyone's ignorance, Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "The so-called centralization is a system that takes the Heavenly Palace as the main trunk and the forces that depend on the Heavenly Palace as the branches and leaves, and strong trunks and weak branches!"

After a pause, Zhou Chen smiled strangely and continued: "If you want to achieve centralization, you must draw most of the financial resources and resources from all places and towns under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace and gather them at the Heavenly Palace headquarters. And this... depends on... tax collection!"

“Taxes?”

Everyone was stunned. Those who were sitting were basically strong people with strength above the King of Fighting. They only focused on cultivation all day long and were very unfamiliar with the so-called taxation.

There are only two daughters, Yaoye and Yafei, who often come into contact with this content. One is the Empress of the Gama Empire and the other is the current patriarch of the Mitel family. They are quite sensitive to words such as money and taxes.

After all, if a huge empire like the Gama Empire with a population of tens of millions were not relied on taxes to make up for financial and political income, it would have long been poor and bankrupt.

However... the tax system implemented by the Gama Empire is still too simple in Zhou Chen's opinion. Compared with the advanced tax system on the main plane of the earth, it is as backward as a primitive man.

"Everyone, the so-called tax collection is actually similar to the offerings accepted by the sect every year, but the strength must be more ruthless and the action must be more fierce!"

After a pause, Zhou Chen explained lightly: "Just like Yunlan Sect, before the merger entered the Heavenly Palace, there were only a thousand disciples. Even if you want to recruit more disciples, you can't afford it! Why? Because Yunlan Sect does not have the right to collect taxes directly! It all depends on the worship of some local families."

"But will those local clans give all the wealth they plundered to the Yunlan Sect? Of course not! In fact, the offerings given to the Yunlan Sect are just a drop in the bucket! If it is a real crisis, will these local families help the Yunlan Sect? No! Even families like the Hao family will betray them!"

"But if it is a real empire with centralization, it would be different."

Zhou Chen had a dry mouth, and took a cup of tea from the desk table, took a sip, and then continued: "After the reform of the Heavenly Palace, I will order to collect taxes directly from various major families in the local area! The 60% of the income they earned from their annual business operations must be handed over to the Heavenly Palace to support the cultivation of the Heavenly Palace's powerful people!"

"In this way, the Heavenly Palace will have ten or a hundred times more gold coins, medicinal materials, monsters, and precious minerals... and these are the cultivation resources urgently needed by the strong men above the Dou King!"

With a cold smile, Zhou Chen said slowly: "The strong people practice and advance to the cultivation level, relying on the root bone talent, and the second is the cultivation resources. The root bone talent is destined by God and is difficult to change. All we can do is to get more cultivation resources!"

"So, if the Heavenly Palace executes my tax order, the cultivation resources that can be mobilized will be far ten times more than before! And cultivation resources are the foundation for cultivating a large number of strong people and laying the foundation for a thousand years!"

After saying that, Zhou Chen slowed down his throat and said coldly: "How is it, do you have any objections?"

Everyone: "..."

If you have any objections, no one dares to say it.

Now everyone can see that Zhou Chen was stimulated by the betrayal of the Hao family and was ready to take action and take hard attacks. These local families are weakened, and in turn enhance the power of the Heavenly Palace!

This made everyone below feel a little uncomfortable.

Because, whether it is the royal family of the Gama Empire, the three major families, the Yunlan Sect, the Alchemist Guild and other forces... in fact, they are the objects that Zhou Chen mentioned that should be taxed!

Although they are all very close to Zhou Chen, this little closeness has faded in the face of interests.

It hurts too much to ask them to hand over 60% of their income and cultivation resources to the Tiangong headquarters every year. After all, everyone has selfish thoughts!

After a long time, Jia Xingtian, the Supreme Emperor of the Gama Royal Family, finally couldn't help it. With the relationship between Yaoye and Zhou Chen, he plucked up his courage as an elder, saying, "Zhou Chen, the tax collection system you mentioned... seems to be in the entire mainland, there is no precedent."

"Then it's there now!" Zhou Chen smiled faintly, but his words were extremely firm.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian wanted to argue, but saw Yaoye on the high platform shook his head and signaling him not to say anything again. So Jia Xingtian sat down dejectedly.

Yaoye, who was sitting next to Zhou Chen, understood very well that what Zhou Chen decided could not be changed!

Seeing that Jia Xingtian was useless in his words, the others naturally understood Zhou Chen's intentions. However, Haibodong, Yunshan and others did not say a word.

They are all smart people. Knowing that the Heavenly Palace is strong, they will definitely not be able to treat themselves unfairly.

Just like Haibodong, he wished that the Heavenly Palace and the local government would collect more taxes. In this way, he and the Heavenly Palace Douzong such as Yunshan had more elixirs for cultivation.

However, at this moment, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, who is one of the three major families in the imperial capital, said a little ignorant of the times: "It is not impossible to collect taxes within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. But... the local families in thousands of cities in the empire may not agree!"

"Of course they won't agree. After all, Tiangong is snatching their cake! snatching their wealth and interests!"

Zhou Chen stood up, turned the teacup in his hand dripped, raised his head, and said indifferently: "However, I have never asked for their opinions!"

"Bang!"

Before he finished speaking, the teacup in Zhou Chen's hand was thrown hard by him, which made everyone frightened.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen's face turned cold and said murderously: "Without the force of accompanying, how can those local families who are used to being arrogant and do good deeds pay taxes obediently? Pay 60% of the income?"

"From today, from the Tiangong, one hundred Douwang strongmen and twenty Douwang strongmen will be drawn from the inside of the Tiangong Palace, and then 50,000 people will be streamlined from the millions of troops of the Gama Empire to form the Tiangong Tax Corps! Hai Lao is the commander! In the Tiangong territory, any local family and sect forces that dare to resist taxes must be eliminated and suppressed!"

Hearing Zhou Chen's murderous words, everyone below stood up in fear and said respectfully: "Abide by the holy order!"

Everyone stood up to receive the order, and suddenly someone asked again: "The three empires of Izumo, Mulan and Luoyan have not been completely pacified yet. Are they included in the tax scope of the Tax Legion?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled coldly and said without hesitation: "Nonsense! Let's not talk about the three empires, in a few years, the entire Northwest, the mainland, and even the entire Douqi. All forces on the mainland must pay taxes to my Heavenly Palace, otherwise they will be killed without any hesitation!"
