Not dead yet, but almost there. His whole body was paralyzed and only his head could move.
Someone powerful from the elders took action. After checking, they left, saying that Tian Xun had gone crazy and the possibility of recovery was almost zero.
Almost zero, not equal to zero.
At least Tian Xun himself does not intend to give up.
It happened that these nephews came to the door by themselves. They were all captured by Tian Xun and worked for him, looking for famous doctors and medicines everywhere.
These nephews originally came here to share the inheritance from their second uncle. After a few years, not only did they not receive any inheritance, but their own property was drained.
Elder Tian is the elder of the Immortal Sect, a true Level 4 Immortal.
Even if there is only one head left that can move, these nephews cannot disobey orders.
Li Chengfei had heard of this matter before, but since it didn't concern him, he didn't care much.
Now that I see Tian Wenbo in such a miserable state, I feel funny secretly, and I can only say that I deserve it.
These nephews and nephews are really typical people who steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Li Chengfei didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
It would be best for Elder Tian to remain useless forever.
An Elder Tian who does not show up is a good Elder Tian.
After going down the mountain, we went straight to Zhoucheng.
"I have three goals in going to Zhoucheng this time. The first is to find the cultivation method of the Child Realm. It includes training the skin membrane, training the essence and blood, training the muscles and bones, cutting off the hair and washing the marrow, a complete set of training methods."
"General cultivation methods are meaningless to me. I need the most profound cultivation methods. I want to become jade blood and jade bones!"
"Second, I want to find a method for cultivating spiritual consciousness. The more methods for cultivating spiritual consciousness, the better. I want to learn broadly and comprehensively, and then combine them to form my own method for cultivating spiritual consciousness."
"This is difficult! But what I lack most is time and opportunities for trial and error. I can try boldly! I will always succeed if I improve again and again."
"Third, I want to find a way to make the utensils."
Li Chengfei bought a few sticks of incense sutra from Baibao Pavilion this time. After studying it, the biggest gain for him was that his goal became clearer.
He knew exactly how he should take the path of cultivating immortality in the future.
The gates of the city were wide open, and a group of people were queuing to enter.
Li Chengfei saw that most of the people queuing up were people in coarse clothes; many people in bright clothes did not need to line up at all and strode in directly from the main entrance next to it.
At this time, two low-ranking boys happened to enter the city. They went in chatting and laughing, and the soldiers at the city gate didn't even ask a question.
Li Chengfei understood that strong men above the boy level did not need to pay city fees when entering the city.
He followed the two lower-ranking boys and swaggered in.
The city gate soldier on duty happened to be the one who charged him the entrance fee last time, and he didn't even look at him this time.
After Li Chengfei entered the city, he first went to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion to register.
No matter who you are, buying a house or renting a house in Zhoucheng, or buying incense and medicine, etc., you must present your identity document.
Li Chengfei took Xianmen's identity card and successfully applied for documents.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a pretty young woman approaching.
"Hello, senior brother! Do you want to buy a house or land?"
The young woman looked very capable and leaned very close to her.
"I won't buy it." Li Chengfei replied coldly.
"I see that my senior brother is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and he hasn't got any land in his name yet, right? Do you want to apply for it on your behalf? It's 23-50%." The young woman smiled.
Li Chengfei stopped and turned to look at her.
This is a qualified intermediary that always has a suitable product ready for you.
"What does agency affiliation mean? What does 23-50% mean?"
"The City Lord's Mansion has rules. Cultivators above the boy level are exempt from taxes. However, there is a limit. The lower-ranking boy is exempted from taxes on ten acres of land, and the middle-ranking boy is exempted from taxes on thirty acres of land. If Senior Brother Li does not buy a house
If you want to buy property, this quota will be vacant, which is too wasteful. We can help you with this and put the properties of nearby farmers under your senior brother's name."
"Twenty-three-five percent means that the taxes that originally need to be paid to the state and city do not need to be paid. The farmers, us and our senior brothers will share the profits among the three parties. The farmers will have 20%, we will have 30%, and our senior brothers will have 50%. In other words, what do you want?
You don’t need to do anything, you just need to register and admit that these lands are yours during the investigation at the City Lord’s Mansion. Then, you will get 50% of the tax on the thirty acres of land out of thin air.”
The young woman's voice was clear and she explained clearly.
While talking, he deliberately got very close to Li Chengfei, which made people think a lot.
"Is this going to be a problem?" Li Chengfei frowned slightly.
He has served as a human emperor for more than a hundred generations, and when it comes to his experience in governing the world, he would say he is second, but no one dares to say he is first.
Taxation is the cornerstone and the most important priority for a country.
Liangzhou City, or the tax system of the Daqi Dynasty, obviously has a big problem.
It can be seen from the entrance fee that only the poor are accepted, not the rich.
Land taxes are like this again.
The ability of cultivators above the boy realm to make money is far beyond what ordinary mortals can match.
They are also richer than ordinary mortals.
However, the imperial court exempted them from taxes on their land.
The imperial court's annual expenses are huge.
If the rich do not pay taxes, they can only double their money to plunder the poor. Once there is some famine, disease, trouble, etc., it will cause a large number of poor people to go bankrupt.
Li Chengfei finally understood why the people at the bottom of Daqi lived so hard.
People like Qi Xiaoer and Fei Junyi knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but they still wanted to go to the Tiger Mountains. They risked being eaten by monsters and beasts every day to collect herbs in the mountains.
When he first came here, the types of workers he hired, whether they were medicine boys or mountain patrol handymen, had to work for at least six or seven hours every day...
In fact, due to double oppression by the imperial court and the Immortal Sect, the burden on the people was too heavy.
When Li Chengfei was in the mortal world, he also used extortionate taxes, but his sword was more likely to strike at the heads of the wealthy class.
It also attracted a lot of infamy.
Li Chengfei had no compassion for heaven and earth and no compassion for the people of Daqi.
However, this obviously problematic tax system will most likely result in chaos.
It is countless times more difficult to achieve immortality in troubled times.
And now, some "professionals" have begun to take advantage of the tax revenue loopholes of the court, which shows that the problem has reached a very serious level.
"The road to immortality is long. It seems that we have to prepare for troubled times!"
Li Chengfei rejected the young woman.
When he first comes here, it's better not to make decisions easily, especially something that is obviously illegal. With just a nod, it's easy to give someone a thumbs up.
"Brother, are you going to apply for a fake certificate?" The young woman was not discouraged at all.
Li Chengfei was very happy.
The scalper's spirit never fails! This young woman is determined to make a deal with him!
"Brother, you don't want your every move to be under the surveillance of the imperial court, no matter what you do, right? When you stay in a hotel, shop, or buy a house in Zhoucheng, you must register with a certificate. Get a fake certificate, just in case anything happens.
, I can’t find it on your head.” The young woman saw Li Chengfei’s heart moved, so she sold even harder.
"Fake certificate? Doesn't that mean that every move I make is under your surveillance? You gave me this fake certificate. You know my name! What's the point of this?" Li Chengfei asked.
"Of course our fake certificate will not be that low-end. There is no name on this fake certificate. It can be written at any time. After writing, it can be erased at any time."
The young woman happily took out a fake certificate and showed it to Li Chengfei.
Sure enough, you can write any information on this certificate. After writing, something will swipe and the writing will disappear.
Li Chengfei compared it and found that it was exactly the same as the certificate he applied for at the city lord's mansion. Comparing them together, he couldn't see any problems.
This made him very satisfied.
Of course, on the surface, he pretended to be dispensable and asked the price seemingly casually.
"One hundred burning coins..."
"It's too expensive! A fake certificate costs 100 coins! I don't do anything illegal, so even if the state knows my personal information, I'm not afraid. There's no need to be taken advantage of and spend this unjust money." Li Chengfei
Turn around and leave.
"Hey! Don't leave in a hurry! I'm from Wugou Villa, my name is Ning Qingyi! The fake certificate produced by our Wugou Villa is of high quality and quantity. If there are any problems due to the use of this certificate, you can contact us, Wugou
People from the villa, let us help you settle the matter... fifty burning coins! I'll give you one fifty burning coins, it really can't be lower!"
