Chapter 1607 Basic Law (Second Update)
Quan Yuxun took a quick glance.

Those who participated in the video conference included the three dukes among the four great noble families. Except for Grand Duke Li, all the others were present.

There was also the clan leader of the clan affairs office and a small clerk.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Hello, my Lord Duke, Lord Zong Ling, and Ms. Xing."

Quan Yuxun is a man who cares about appearances. No matter what he thinks in his heart, on the surface, he is equally polite to everyone and his etiquette is impeccable.

That Ms. Xing is a clerk in the Cabinet’s Real Estate Property Management Department.

The people who came to her small office today were all very well-connected.

She went from being amazed and frightened at the beginning to being numb and indifferent later on. She could even confront the clan leader of the clan house head-on. She felt that her life had reached a new level.

Until Quan Yuxun showed up, with a standard "Quan Yuxun smile" and a gentle and polite "Ms. Xing", she was suddenly at a loss, blushing, and flustered...

In the end, he could only bow his head deeply and snort "hmm" as a return gesture.

Everyone else present was preoccupied with something and no one noticed her abnormality, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

We can’t embarrass ourselves in front of Chief Quan!

And Quan Yuxun didn't pay attention to her condition.

In fact, Quan Yuxun has been a very proud person since he was young.

He had never paid attention to a woman's expression or mentality, except for Xia Chujian.

And in his mind, Xia Chujian was just treated as a bounty hunter at the beginning.

But later on, I didn’t know when I got stuck in the mud…

He chose to stay in the remote Mulan City on Guiyuan Star to cultivate his mind and character, hoping that he could get out of the "quagmire" of Xia Chujian and no longer be trapped by her.

Now back to his familiar place, he immediately became energetic.

"Everyone, what can I do for Quan?"

Mr. Quan immediately recounted what had just happened in a concise manner.

What’s particularly coincidental is that Quan Yuxun has also been paying attention to the ownership of this manor!

When he learned that this manor did not actually belong to the Tan Tai royal family, but to an unknown "Qisha" and his descendants, a huge wave of confusion rose in his mind.

How is this possible? !

Such a huge forest of exotic beasts occupies one tenth of the area of ​​the entire Guiyuan Star!
What kind of estate is this?!
If Xia Chujian knew, she would be so surprised...

For some unknown reason, Quan Yuxun thought of Xia Chujian again, and even couldn't help but simulate Xia Chujian's mentality in his mind.

This simulation suddenly gave him a funny idea, and he said, "...Does this deed say how to pay the property tax?"

"Does the owner of this forest need to pay land taxes over the years?"

"If necessary, have you paid it?"

This is a very critical issue!

Because he firmly believed that if Xia Chujian knew that the Exotic Beast Forest did not belong to the Tan Tai royal family but to an ordinary person, he would definitely subconsciously ask back, "How much is the land tax for this forest?"
For ordinary people, the most critical point about owning real estate is whether they can pay the property tax on time.

If you fail to pay the property tax, the empire can auction off your property.

Even if you owe a penny, the Empire can auction off your property for a penny!
This is the real estate law of the Beichen Empire.

After Quan Yuxun said this, the clan leader of the clan affairs office, Tan Taiqing, immediately said excitedly: "That's right!"

"Ten thousand years! The land tax has already reached an astronomical figure!"

"If he hadn't handed it over, then this exotic beast forest would have belonged to the empire long ago."

"According to the Imperial Law, the Tantai Imperial Family has the priority right to purchase unowned properties within the Empire!"

"So this exotic beast forest should still belong to our Tantai royal family!"

Mr. Quan said lightly: "But we have talked about this before."

"This forest of exotic beasts belongs to Qisha and her descendants."

"Then the production of these ten thousand years should also belong to them."

"But in fact, the Tantai royal family took away ten thousand years of production."

"Including the annual blood unicorn, the total amount is far higher than the property tax for ten thousand years."

"So if the two items cancel each other out, the Tantai royal family should not only help Qisha and her descendants pay the tax, but also make up for the shortfall between the two."

Tan Taiqing couldn't help but look at Quan Yuxun: "Master Quan, is this true?"

Quan Yuxun nodded modestly and said, "The legal principle followed by the Empire's real estate law is the equivalence of rights and obligations."

"The Beast Forest has to pay taxes. It's an obligation."

"The corresponding rights are that the cash crops produced in the Exotic Beast Forest belong to the owner of the land."

"If there is a place without any cash crops, that is, without corresponding rights, the property tax will be very low, so low that it is just a symbolic meaning." "The Exotic Beast Forest is certainly not such a place. Therefore, since the Tantai Royal Family has taken away the production for so many years, it is natural to compensate the owners of the Exotic Beast Forest with the same economic benefits."

"And we need to take into account the inflation over the past 10,000 years and recalculate the economic benefits."

Quan Yuxun talked freely and explained the legal issues related to the Forest of Strange Beasts.

Tan Tai Qing was still struggling: "But, they also said that the ownership of this exotic beast forest is one of the basic laws of the empire... I have never heard of such a basic law. Has Chief Quan heard of it?"

Quan Yuxun thought about it and said apologetically: "I really haven't heard of it."

Tan Taiqing was about to be overjoyed when Quan Yuxun said, "But just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean the empire doesn't have such a basic law."

"Because we study law, the most important thing is to learn the spirit of the law and the principles of legislation."

"As long as you understand the spirit of the law and the legislative principles, you will understand all laws. There is no need to learn the specific legal provisions."

"Moreover, we knew when we were in law school that the Empire did pass some basic laws regarding the foundation of the country when it was first established."

"These basic laws are very old and have nothing to do with the daily lives of ordinary citizens. Therefore, law school professors only mentioned them briefly but did not explain them in detail."

"Now if there are cases involving these basic laws at the beginning of the founding of the country, we can apply to the Senate to unlock these basic laws and bring them out for discussion."

Tan Tai Qing was surprised: "...Really?!"

Quan Yuxun nodded.

Mr. Zong said impatiently: "Then hurry up and apply! Transfer it over right away and show it to everyone."

"The three of us are usually very busy, and it's rare for us to get together. Today, everyone is here, so let's solve this problem."

Quan Yuxun did not shirk his responsibilities and directly sent a message to Li Hengchang, the speaker of the Senate.

Li Hengchang saw his message, checked various procedures, and gave him permission.

Quan Yuxun can use this authority to go to the Senate's database and search for early basic laws related to property rights in the Exotic Beast Forest.

Soon, he found this basic law, sent it to his quantum optical computer account, then pulled out the virtual display screen and shared it with everyone through video conferencing.

Grandpa Quan took a quick look and said curiously, "Huh? There really is a basic law about the Exotic Beast Forest!"

The female clerk, Ms. Xing, couldn't help but take a quick look.

Quan Yuxun uses his own shared virtual display screen for display, so unless everyone records the video, the message cannot be saved.

Mr. Zong, Su Yanxing and Tan Taiqing were all silent.

Quan Yuxun explained, "According to this basic law, the entire Exotic Beast Forest, located on the Guiyuan Star, including the detailed longitude and latitude, belongs to Qisha and her descendants."

"All the produce of the Exotic Beast Forest belongs to Qisha and her descendants."

"The Empire shall never impose any form of taxation on the Beast Forest, including but not limited to real estate tax, property tax, and natural resource tax."

"The transfer of ownership of the Exotic Beast Forest must be based on the principle of voluntariness, and there must be no deception or coercion."

“Once discovered, the transfer of ownership will be invalid.”

"No matter what the circumstances, the Exotic Beast Forest cannot be transferred to anyone from the Tantai Imperial Family."

"The Tantai royal family must not use any means to try to get their hands on the Exotic Beast Forest."

"Guarantors: Grand Duke Quan Zhongxing of the Quan family and his successors, Grand Duke Zong Sucheng of the Zong family and his successors, Grand Duke Su Bogu of the Su family and his successors, and Zong Ling Tan Taizhe of the Zongrenfu and his successors."

Quan Yuxunqing couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The three grand dukes guaranteed here happened to be the first grand dukes of their three families back then!

For example, Quan Zhongxing, Quan Yuxun knew that this was the name of his ancestor!

This name is still enshrined in the ancestral hall of the ancestral home.

The others, Zong Sucheng and Su Bogu, were also the first grand dukes of the Zong and Su families at that time.

The Grand Duke was granted the title at the beginning of the country.

The only thing he was not familiar with was the clan leader of the clan affairs office.

But this person lived ten thousand years ago and should be the ancestor of the royal family.

The more he read, the more interesting it became.

What were people thinking back then?

Why was there an area of ​​real estate in the entire Beichen galaxy that the Tantai royal family was not allowed to touch?
You must know that in the entire Beichen galaxy, all places occupied by the Beichen Empire, theoretically, belong to the Tan Tai royal family.

However, when Tan Tai Lin founded the country, he made an agreement with the upper nobles of the empire that the royal family had no priority or ownership over the existing properties of the nobles, but only had priority over unowned land.

In other words, the royal family of the Beichen Empire cannot occupy the owned land without reason, and must sign a legally binding land transfer contract.

Such a transfer contract must be completely voluntary and the procedure is very cumbersome.

So much so that if it is not truly voluntary, few people can go through the entire process.

This also guarantees the interests of the major nobles to the greatest extent and prevents the imperial power from arbitrarily encroaching on their property.

There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
