Chapter 7091 Taking office in Haowen Town (Part 1)
"It turns out that you are Master Qiu's disciple. You are truly a talented person. Master Qiu has already taken care of you. Don't worry after Hall Master Lin takes office. In my Magic Steel County, as long as you do things normally, no one will make things difficult for you, unless even I do.
There is no way."
Magistrate Yu of Magic Steel County is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. He is a little thin and looks very alert.
When Lin Haoming heard what he said, he thought it was normal. After all, it would be abnormal if he threw it away without taking care of it.
At this time, Lin Haoming still responded respectfully: "Thank you, Lord County Lord. This junior is here for the first time, and I feel at ease with your words."
"Palace Master Lin just came here with an entourage. How about I send a gatekeeper to accompany you?" County Master Yu asked politely.
"Then there is Lord Lao County." Lin Haoming did not refuse such a thing.
The goalkeeper sent by County Lord Yu to accompany him to Haowen Town was named Yu Zhenghuan. Seeing that he looked at least three-thirds similar to County Lord Yu, Lin Haoming guessed that he was probably a descendant of County Lord Yu, and asked about this guy.
He is the great-grandson of County Lord Yu.
Things like nepotism are actually not uncommon here. After all, as long as they comply with the rules set by Xin Dian, they can naturally operate reasonably within the rules.
Although Yu Zhenghuan is said to be the great-grandson of County Master Yu, he actually looks a few years older than County Master Yu. County Master Yu is already about three hundred years old, and this one is nearly a hundred years old. However, as he is in the foundation building period, he
He still has more than a hundred years to live, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
Haowen Town is less than three hundred miles away from Magic Steel County, which is a bit far for ordinary people, but it is very close for immortal cultivators.
The Bull Run itself is very fast and does not stop in the middle. It sets off after noon and follows the official road all the way, arriving in the evening.
Haowen Town is a big town, and the size of a town is limited to 100,000 people. It is obvious that a town with more than 100,000 people is a big town, and a town with less than this number is a small town. The same is true for counties. Most of the time, it is more than 500,000 people.
To build a county, in fact, to get permission, it usually requires one million people, or even more.
Haowen Town is a big town. I heard Yu Zhenghuan introduce it along the way. It has more than 200,000 residents. It is also mainly engaged in refining magic steel. The Xiangtang is in the middle of the town. According to the layout of the big town, there are four
Doorman.
This gatekeeper is similar to a goalkeeper, but because the level of the town is too low, and it is divided into large towns and small towns, it is a bit inappropriate to call it a goalkeeper, and there is no need for so many. Generally, there are four gatekeepers in a large town and two in a small town.
Each guard will also command some guards. These guards are not entirely immortal cultivators. Most of them are warriors, or also called body refiners.
Given the opportunity, ordinary people would be able to conquer the sky just by entering Xiantian. Such warriors cannot compete with immortal cultivators who have several magic weapons, but for ordinary people, they are still superior to others.
Because the town does not have a city guard, the Xiangtang guards are essentially responsible for the city guard. After all, the leader of the Xiangtang is also the mayor of the town, and in the town, he can really command the equivalent of a city guard.
Of course, the Xiangtang guards of the City Guards are not in the eyes of immortal cultivators at all because they are all warriors. Moreover, each town only has a guard fee based on its population. The quality of the number of guards recruited depends on it.
It doesn't matter if it's the hall master's own, as long as it doesn't fall below the prescribed minimum and doesn't cause any trouble.
Fuquan Town, where Lin Haoming was originally located, was a small town with a population of 70,000 to 80,000 people and only had 40 or 50 guards, with the two guards each receiving half.
Haowen Town is a large town, and Lin Haoming estimates that there are only one hundred and eighty guards. Basically, one guard has jurisdiction over twenty or thirty.
As the manager of the town and the owner of the Xiangtang, in essence, apart from maintaining the stability within the jurisdiction, there is only one thing left, and that is to pay a fixed amount of tax every year.
The so-called tax is divided into two parts. One part is the prayer beads produced by Xiangtang. Under normal circumstances, in a large town of 200,000 people, there can be two hundred ninth-grade prayer beads a year.
This prayer beads were produced when worshiping the Goddess Xin. Every incense hall will have a statue of the Goddess Xin. In fact, it is a magic weapon used to collect the mind power of believers. Except for the big ones in the incense hall, some ancestral halls,
Even some special places, such as the Temple of the Goddess Xin, will be placed so that people can sincerely contribute their mind power.
According to Xin Dian's rules, the prayer beads are divided into nine grades. The ninth grade is the lowest and the first grade is the highest. The ratio between each grade is one to ten. In fact, in the hands of monks in the Void Refining Stage, these prayer beads can be synthesized, too.
The synthetic advanced quality is one to ten, but below, everyone uses ninth-grade prayer beads, even some transactions.
According to the rules, each place must hand in 90% of the prayer beads every year, leaving 10% as salary.
Here in Haowen Town, you can keep twenty pieces, eight of which belong to the hall master. Twelve pieces are divided among the four guards, three pieces for each person. The guards below do not get the beads, so they share them.
It is another part of tax, commercial tax, local tax and agricultural tax.
Under the rule of Xin Dian, everything belongs to Xin Dian. From the Star Envoy to the hall master like Lin Haoming, they are only under the jurisdiction of Xin Dian. All the land belongs to Xin Dian, even the Canglong Realm.
It is an interface of the universe affiliated to Xin Dian, and it is the same. What's more, the Canglong Realm has been ruled by Xin Dian for tens of thousands of years. Except for those in the Mahayana stage and above, the rest were born under Xin Dian's rule and have long been used to it.
These.
Due to this situation, even the town at the end of the big tree like Xin Dian is the same. All shops in the town need to pay taxes, the houses where they live also need to pay taxes every year, and business operations also need to pay taxes. The city also needs to pay taxes.
After the farmland is measured, production also has to pay taxes, and after paying the tax, it can be protected by the Xiangtang to ensure fair sales and safe living. If the field is drought, an immortal will send clouds to make rain. If there is a flood, it will absorb the water and remove it.
Floods and pest disasters will also eradicate pests. This kind of tax payment guarantees safety and everything is peaceful. Just like the previous major disasters such as the blood locust outbreak, immortal masters will come to eliminate the pests and provide disaster relief. Therefore, for normal tax payment, everyone
It also feels natural.
Mortals still trade with ordinary gold and silver. Here in Canglong Realm, ordinary people use three kinds of currencies: gold, silver and copper. Each one is engraved with the symbol of Goddess Xin, and the ratio between them is one hundred.
However, 10,000 gold coins are equivalent to one yuan stone. Haowen Town has developed commerce and is considered a prosperous town. Therefore, the annual tax revenue can be equivalent to 400 yuan stones, 80% of which needs to be turned over. This is also the same rule in every town, so it is almost the same.
If there are eighty yuan stones left, these should be divided among everyone.
