The disciples of the Zixiao Mansion who were standing inside had already collapsed. Tang Yue had learned this in Wuji Mountain. She could use her pressure in a targeted manner. She could already use her pressure on a single person.
Of course, it was intentional to knock down a group of people now, just to knock down the people of Zixiao Mansion with one stroke. When the disciples of Qionghua Pavilion behind Tang Yue saw how arrogant the young pavilion master was, they felt calm and their expressions became cold and arrogant, as if
This trip is not to collect taxes, but to defend one's honor.
"Tang Yue, what are you doing? Put away the pressure, otherwise I will be rude." The master of the palace could not let go of his dignity as a god-forming monk, so he used pressure on a little girl, even though this little girl was more cultivated than his disciples present.
For everyone is high.
The Nascent Soul cultivators in Zixiao Mansion are all high-ranking stewards and elders, so they will not participate in such things that are emboldened by the crowd.
Tang Yue put away his pressure and bowed to the master of the palace, "Master, I am here today to collect taxes. It is legal and legal. The disciples of your mansion not only refused to pay taxes, but also questioned the law enforcement power of our Qionghua Pavilion. It is said that
After we go out, how are we going to collect taxes from the merchants in the city and how are we going to ensure the stable development of Kunwu City? So I have to take this step and take action against your disciple. I hope the master of the palace understands my difficulties."
"You brought so many people to my house to cause trouble, and you used coercion to intimidate my disciples. Do you want me to understand your difficulties?"
"I know that the master of the palace is very prejudiced and intolerable towards my mother and I, but please think about Kunwu City. Taxes are used for public affairs in the city, such as raising the disciples of your palace; such as building bridges and paving roads.
To facilitate travel; another example is to provide relief to poor people so that they can survive. These all require money, and all of this money comes from taxes in the city, so everyone has to pay taxes."
Cao Yanjun heard her silently put many hats on his head, and said angrily: "When did I target you mother and son? When did I say I wouldn't pay taxes?"
"Everyone has not forgotten that a few years ago, the disciples of the Zixiao Mansion and the disciples of the Aristocratic Family blocked the entrance of Qionghua Pavilion and caused trouble. It was me who tried my best to stop them and made sacrifices to prevent the matter from getting bigger. How can you forget?"
"You still dare to mention that matter?" She said that she had made sacrifices without making a big fuss. Tang Yue threatened the family's safety and allowed him to give up Zixiao Mansion for such a huge benefit. It was completely done in her mouth.
Good thing.
Cao Yanjun is also smart. He doesn't talk about reason, but only talks about face and shame. The current situation is a bit slap in the face.
Tang Yue asked the senior brothers to bring two account books, "These are the account books that record the taxes you should pay and the debts you owe. You can take out the account books from the mansion to check with us. Master, please rest assured that our Qionghua Pavilion only collects what is due."
of."
"This is unreasonable. It's too much to bully others. Our Zixiao Mansion will never hand over money in such humiliating circumstances."
He also refused to fight with the other party's people. Qionghua Pavilion collected taxes as a matter of course. It would not benefit the Zixiao Mansion if they caused a quarrel. It might also convict them of refusing to pay taxes and damage the prestige of the Zixiao Mansion.
Tang Yue bowed and saluted, "I dare not, just to maintain the sacred legal dignity of Kunwu City, and to maintain the culture of paying taxes on time in the city, I, the monk of Qionghua Pavilion, intend to fight to the death. The head can be cut off, and the blood can be shed, Kunwu
The dignity of the city cannot be lost, and our honor-based warriors will defend our city and our home to the death."
The monks behind him shouted together with him, and the sound was so loud that everyone outside Zixiao Mansion heard it clearly. They were wondering: Could it be that a large number of enemies appeared in Zixiao Mansion and everyone is fighting now?
Otherwise, why should we defend Zixiao Mansion? Shouldn't it be at the city gate?
Someone saw that something was wrong and wanted to report the situation to the city lord. Tang Yue had already prepared for this and had already sent people to guard and intercept those who wanted to report.
"I won't pay you any attention today, how will you treat me?"
"Thank you Palace Master for your understanding of justice. It would be great if you could remember to pay taxes on time in the future. This way we will be able to do less proactive tax collection in the future, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and delays a lot of work."
"I believe that the master of the palace does not have this intention, so I took the initiative to collect taxes at your door to help you eliminate this stigma. I am also worried that after the interest of the palace is compounded, it will not be able to pay off the debt. I really have good intentions."
Cao Yanjun couldn't listen any more. He was afraid that he would be angered and his Taoist conscience would be damaged.
Tang Yue gained a lot from this trip. He moved boxes of spiritual stones and materials back. Tang Wenhua still wants to plot against her? Let’s first see how much his dear senior brother has embezzled from the city. This is just tax evasion, and it hasn’t been calculated yet.
What about corruption?
"Master, I bring this up to tell you that my mother may still have some scruples and maintain a false peace with you, but I am young and impulsive, and I can't bear it. I hope you will be considerate and pay what is owed to you."
The taxes have all been paid, otherwise I don’t know what I would do if I got anxious.”
Cao Yanjun understood clearly that Tang Yue was going to play rogue to the end, "Our Zixiao Mansion will take the initiative to pay the tax, and you don't need to come to collect it."
There was a senior who was also a lively and noisy person. When he heard this, he took the lead and shouted: "Defend your homeland to the death and defend the honor of Kunwu City!"
After thinking about it, Palace Master Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you taxes and debts today, and I will also remember what you did today."
Tang Yue's face turned cold, "According to the laws of Kunwu City, those who refuse to pay taxes will have their homes confiscated to compensate for the taxes. Anyone who hinders the confiscation of their homes will be arrested on the spot, and those who resist extremely will be executed on the spot."
Master Zixiao laughed angrily, "You want to execute me?"
Moreover, a god-transformation monk was forced into a fight by Nascent Soul Child. After word spread, he no longer had to hang out in the world of immortality.
He felt desolate amidst the loud shouts. All kinds of face, favors, and interests were of no use in front of a "newborn calf not afraid of tigers" like Tang Yue. She didn't want face and was not afraid of offending him, she just wanted the spirit stone.
There are not many people who can communicate with the city lord. Cao Yanjun, the master of the palace, can, but he is unwilling to ask for help from the city lord in public. In this way, he will lose all face in front of his juniors.
"That's not necessarily true. You have not paid your taxes for two years, and you still have various debts from six months to five years, all of which have exceeded the repayment date. In the past, my mother might have forgiven you, but I can't.
In the past two months since I have been the Young Pavilion Master, all the losses in the city will be borne by me. I cannot afford the money, so you must pay the taxes and debts today."
"Master, what you said is wrong. It is only right to pay back the money you owe, especially if you still owe money to Kunwu City. How can you not repay it? Zixiao Mansion is a school that the monks in the city yearn for, and it is an example.
, how can you give the impression that people refuse to pay taxes and are arrested for repaying loans? Do you want to encourage the people in the city to follow suit and cause trouble by refusing to pay taxes? Zixiao Mansion actually wants to cause chaos in Kunwu City?
"
"That's nonsense. I, the Zixiao Mansion, have worked hard for Kunwu City, so how could we mess up Kunwu City?" He really wanted to kill this woman with one blow, but he still had to worry about Tang Yue's identity and backing, so he didn't even use his spiritual power.
dare.
Next, Tang Yue went to various major families to check their accounts, collected taxes for three days, and asked them to pay the taxes. When the big families saw that Zixiao Mansion had paid them, they also paid them obediently.
But there was a lot of resentment in my heart, and I thought darkly: If Miss Tang has offended a lot of people, sooner or later someone will deal with her, let alone support her rise to power, and let's see how many more days she can be arrogant.
Tang Yue looked at the tax money in his hand and felt that it would take a while. The key was to prove that collecting taxes from big families was feasible.
Then he called all the senior brothers, "Let's discuss it. Let's get rid of the head tax and change it to a business tax."
