Territory managers can levy taxes on industries in their territory. This is a legal requirement of all countries and is not limited to the principality. Even international multinational companies like mercenary guilds have to abide by this rule.
Law. But in many cases, nobles from various places will maintain a very good relationship with the mercenary guild, so it will not be too difficult.
But Meng Han is different. This time, the Mercenary Guild took a fancy to the huge interests that Meng Han originally had, so it agreed to the cooperation request of the Lord of Stormwind City and took over this hugely profitable quarry. I thought that as long as I came over, I would smile.
Welcoming people, and then adding the power of clearing out the underground mercenaries, the quarry was easily accessible. Unexpectedly, Meng Han actually made such a request.
For Meng Han, the law has become the most advantageous tool that he can use to deceive the mercenary guild at any time. Everyone has calculated that Meng Han is now weak, and Meng Han has been forced to transfer the quarry.
According to the calculation, Meng Han would definitely not be able to defeat the Lord of Stormwind City. However, everyone missed one thing. No matter who took the quarry, the quarry would still be on the ground of Huangsha Town. And on the ground of Huangsha Town
For your property, you must pay taxes to the lord of Huangsha Town. This is the law of the principality and the law of the entire world.
As long as Meng Han is willing, he can set the tax rate for the quarry at an exaggerated ninety-nine percent, and no one can say that he is not honest. This is the power given to the lord by the law. The reason why Meng Han agrees so easily
The reason why he let go of the quarry was precisely because there was such a guarantee. This kind of real estate could not be moved away by anyone who got it, and could only be manipulated according to Meng Han's wishes.
They knew clearly what Meng Han was thinking, but among so many people present, no one could refute Meng Han. The mercenary guild just used the psychological advantage created by a few people in this world full of people.
In front of the righteous law, he is as ridiculous as a boring clown.
"Sir!" A voice full of threats suddenly came from the mouth of the young man who just left here: "You'd better know what you are talking about now!"
"Oh?" Meng Han turned his body directly in the direction of the young man, seemed to be a little surprised, and then asked full of doubts: "What? You mean, or in other words, your mercenary guild's
Does this mean that, as the lord of Huangsha Town, I have no right to collect taxes on the properties in Huangsha Town? Or does it mean that your guild already has the privilege not to pay taxes to the local lords?"
Meng Han's words are very insidious. No matter which one of the two young men chooses, they will be misled by Meng Han. The mercenary guild questions the lord's authority to tax the territory? What is the difference between this and rebellion? As for the mercenary guild, is it
They have the privilege of not paying taxes. Needless to say, even the most respected magician's guild has the obligation to pay taxes. It's just that the taxes they usually pay are far less than the price paid by various countries to bribe them.
.No matter how powerful the mercenary guild is, even if they have the power to subvert a small principality at any time, they only dare to do that, but they dare not admit that they have the privilege of not paying taxes. This is politics.
"Our mercenary guild..." The young man seemed to really have no idea what the heavens and the earth were. As soon as he opened his mouth to say these words, he was rudely interrupted by the middle-aged man next to Meng Han: "Shut up!"
The young man's voice was so angry that it even surprised the young man. He hurriedly closed his mouth and stared at Meng Han with hatred, as if he was staring at his father-killing enemy.
But Meng Han didn't care about the young man's gaze. He turned to the middle-aged man thoughtfully and asked with a smile: "What is your mercenary guild?"
"Of course our mercenary guild will abide by the law and pay taxes to the lord." The middle-aged man's smile deepened, and then he seemed to remind Meng Han and said very casually: "But Huangsha Town, as a storm,
Why should the city’s annexed territory pay taxes to Stormwind City, right?”
"Of course! Of course!" Meng Han completely understood the middle-aged man's words, but still replied with a smile: "However, I have already paid the taxes for the next ten years to Lord Mars in advance, so I won't bother you to think about it for the time being.
That’s the problem.”
The middle-aged man did not expect that Meng Han would say this. Originally, he planned to put pressure on Meng Han through Stormwind City, but Meng Han ignored the problem at all and had a way to deal with it. It was impossible for him to ask Meng Han.
After showing his tax payment certificate, he didn't know whether what Meng Han said about falling to the ground was true or not, but his momentum had been completely suppressed by Meng Han.
All of this made the head of the mercenary guild branch somewhat unexpected. All of his own advantages were completely defeated by Meng Han's upright conspiracy from a legal perspective. He originally wanted to be high-profile in front of everyone.
The quarry is firmly held in the palm of the hand in front of me, so that everyone knows the background of the quarry. They retreated when faced with difficulties, but now it seems that they are riding a tiger with difficulty.
"If you want to collect taxes, you must have the ability to collect taxes before you can speak." The young man over there immediately said something youthful and energetic.
"Resisting taxes violently will lead to death by hanging." Meng Han showed no signs of weakness and immediately replied tit for tat. However, when he spoke, his body did not move. He was simply saying these words behind the back of the young man.
What the young people said were basically wise words. However, there are some words that can be done but cannot be said, especially in public. Young people do not know that the sky is high and the earth is high, so they made such a mistake. Meng Han stopped him with one sentence
He was speechless. In the end, he could only say something harsh and angry: "Humph, we can pay taxes, but if some people lose their heads in their sleep in the middle of the night, don't blame others!"
"Threatening me?" Meng Han turned his head very seriously this time, looked at the young man, and asked seriously.
"So what if I threaten you?" This time, not only the young people, but also the dozen or so people around them all stood up. Meng Han's series of words had already made these tough guys feel very dissatisfied.
The young people have been hinting at them to exercise restraint, but they have already fallen out.
"I'm so scared!" Meng Han said these words at a slow and unusual speed, then waved his right hand and pointed directly at the young man.
The middle-aged man suddenly realized the trouble, and a feeling of extreme danger emerged in his subconscious. Without thinking, he rushed out and went straight to the young man. While he was still in the air, he had already taken out his
The sword. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, a steel shield on the ground leaning against the corner of the table was picked up by his kick and blocked in front of the young man. At the same time, the sword in his hand also quickly slashed towards a gray shadow.
Bang, ding, two extremely clear sounds, the middle-aged man's arm holding the sword shook violently, but he firmly blocked the sword in the path of the gray shadow rushing towards the young man. Then, everyone heard a sharp crack.
The voice of the sky. A group of people stared blankly at the scene in front of them, no one could speak.
The sound in front was the sound of the gray shadow directly penetrating the steel shield, while the sound behind was the sound of the gray shadow meeting the middle-aged man's sword, and then penetrating the spine of the sword again. The middle-aged man's sword
It must not be an ordinary thing. The steel shield was penetrated by the gray shadow and directly turned into fragments. However, the middle-aged man's sword still maintained its original shape, but the originally thick sword spine was directly penetrated by the gray shadow.
Then he stopped at the sword.
Only then did the gray shadow reveal its true form, which turned out to be a short and lean steel arrow. The tip of the arrow was still shining with light and was firmly embedded in the middle-aged man's sword. The tip of the arrow was far away from the young man's heart.
, only a few inches away. During the whole process, the young man seemed to have no reaction, standing there blankly, watching everything that happened.
Everyone gasped, even the dozen or so tough guys who had been sitting in the tavern arrogantly and driving away most of the mercenaries, looked dumbfounded and in disbelief. Whoever looked at it
When seeing such a powerful arrow, they would probably all have the same expression. This is the result of these people who have been licking blood with their swords for many years and have faced countless life and death fights. If they were ordinary people, they would probably be like this.
He was so frightened that he fainted.
The young man's face was as pale as white paper, and cold sweat was gurgling down involuntarily. If the middle-aged man hadn't been alert and skillful, the arrow would have penetrated his chest long ago. Look at the short steel arrows passing through continuously.
The thick iron shield and the power of the sword spine, even a young man wearing heavy cavalry, probably would not be immune at this moment.
"Misunderstanding! Sir, this is a misunderstanding!" The middle-aged man shouted, but his body did not dare to move. His outstretched arm maintained the posture of holding the sword, as if petrified. Until this time, a group of servants
Only then did the people from the Military Association realize something was wrong.
Meng Han's body was shining with a few faint lights. The people from the mercenary guild present were basically well-informed people, otherwise they would not have been sent to host the branch. At this moment, there was nothing to see.
When he came out, the things flashing on Meng Han's body were all magic shields.
What's even more shocking is that at some point, two extremely sharp stone pillars quietly rose up under the young man's feet and the middle-aged man's feet. At this moment, the tips of the stone pillars were pressed against their throats.
There was even some meat in it, but it didn't pierce the skin.
Then, there was a roar in the crowd, and a large number of guards from Huangsha Town appeared, surrounding these people. Everyone drew their bows and arrows ten steps away, pointing at these guys from the mercenary guild. As long as
If they make any abnormal movement, they will immediately launch an attack.
"Misunderstanding, sir!" Everyone was silent. Only the middle-aged man's voice continued: "There must be a misunderstanding here! What a huge misunderstanding!"
