Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 434 434. Who is the mountain?

"By the way, is the pickpocket you are talking about the tax collector for this region?"

Qian Renxue is determined to solve this problem. At least after she leaves, she can't let this guy take revenge on the family.

"Him? No, they are just a group of hooligans."

The woman shook her head and asked her daughter to boil water for Qian Renxue to entertain her.

"Thank you." Qian Renxue thanked him and continued to ask: "Since he is not a tax collector in this area, why did he say he can be exempted from the tax burden?"

"Well, this matter is related to this area. Although Coconut Grove City is one of the largest grain-producing cities and is close to Wuhun City, both agriculture and commerce are relatively developed. However, due to the war between Xingluo and Tiandou Empire, , this is also the most severely damaged, or this is true for all the ten principalities. When the war between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire began, the ten principalities were the first to suffer. The war caused many people to lose their husbands, and many families also fell into poverty. "

Speaking of this, the woman looked out the window. She once had a beautiful family, but at this time, all the happiness in the past disappeared.

"Due to the intervention of Wuhundian, the war was ended. However, the damage caused by the war was too great. Many civilians became poor, but the taxes remained unabated. Instead, they became more severe. The tax collectors could not collect the taxes, and due to the pressure from above, So they colluded with the local gangsters here, and they used every possible means. Intimidation and beating were just the slightest means. Everything here was almost evacuated by them, and the people here were injured by the war and were unable to support themselves. , all of them have become walking zombies, sitting and waiting to die..."

"How high is your tax rate..." Qian Renxue asked softly.

"...Why are the taxes so high? Aren't you going to resist?" After hearing this, Qian Renxue finally knew how high the taxes on common people were, and it was a bit scary.

"What? How is this possible?" Qian Renxue never expected that she would be the one who has been exploiting the people. She knows the soul master tax very well. This tax is handed over to Wuhun Palace by the two major empires to distribute soul master subsidies. Although both empires fully paid the tax, soul masters after level 30 could no longer receive subsidies, and Wuhun Palace had always used its own industry to train soul masters after level 30. .

"Two gold soul coins?" Qian Renxue didn't know how to describe it. She had no idea how civilians lived.

If calculated according to the woman's words, the taxes collected by the two empires were three times more than the amount they paid to Wuhun Palace! !

"None of the soul masters or the army are facing us, so what can we do to resist?"

"What are you using to resist? The taxes in the ten major principalities are already very low. When my husband and I were young, we visited the Star Luo Empire and the Tiandou Empire. The taxes there were twice as high, and the soul master tax cost three gold coins. Soul Coin."

"Two gold soul coins a year."

"It seems that you don't know the life of the people at the bottom. Two gold soul coins can basically cover the expenses of a family of three for a year."

"Yes, the Wuhun Palace is all bad guys. I heard that the last three sects beat them, and a divine war broke out, which means that even the gods can't stand it, and they will soon perish!" The little girl brought a cup A bowl of boiling water was delivered to Qian Renxue's hands, but the boiling water could not warm her cold and stiff body.

"...Nanny, is this how you view the Wuhun Palace? But they also help you awaken your Wuhun for free... and they also take the initiative to maintain the security of the mainland... There are even set-up points in every village... to protect the village from the threat of bad guys... "

Qian Renxue tried her best to keep her words calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. However, her hands were clenched in her robe until they turned white to calm the uneasiness in her heart. "Sister, why are you talking to Wuhun Palace again... Oh, I understand... My sister is a soul master and receives a monthly subsidy from Wuhun Palace..."

The little girl quickly shut her mouth, seeming to realize that she had said the wrong thing.

"It's okay... Nannan... my sister is a family soul master and has never received a soul master subsidy, so if you have anything to say, just say whatever you want..."

Qian Renxue wanted to know what kind of existence Wuhun Palace was in people's hearts. Maybe she had been living in the lies weaved for too long and didn't even remember what the world was like.

"Say it...it doesn't matter..."

With Qian Renxue's encouragement, Nannan also expressed her own opinions. Although she was only an eight or nine-year-old child, she had a sense of maturity that did not match her age.

"The spirit master subsidy in Wuhun Palace subsidizes the spirit masters, and it is indeed us who are harming them. Moreover, those spirit masters do not need to pay anything at all. They can receive gold soul coins every month, and we earn one gold soul. Coins require mother's dedication day and night, and some soul masters simply never break through level 30 for the sake of soul master subsidies. In that way, they can receive the subsidy for life, ten coins per month, not to mention those soul masters are different Pay taxes, as for protecting our safety, without them, we can still be safe, there should be no soul masters in this world!"

"Nanny!" The woman looked at the little girl with reproachful eyes, as if she was blaming her for talking too much.

"Mom, that's it. Soul masters only bring us suffering, and the same goes for Wuhun Palace. As for free awakening of Wuhun, we paid so much tax, and this is what they owe us!"

Qian Renxue saw a kind of terrible hatred through the little girl's eyes, which was so powerful that it could overwhelm her.

It turns out... is this what people are thinking?

"Yes...this is what Wuhun Palace owes you...Nanny...you are right..."

"Sister, do you think so too? Then can you deal with Wuhun Palace?" Xiao Nannan looked at Qian Renxue with clear eyes, which made Qian Renxue's heart twist like a knife. How should she tell her that she wanted to Moving to the mountains that are pressing down on the common people, in the end, I am the biggest one...

"Don't worry...sister will do it...I will definitely do it..."

After bidding farewell to Nannan's family, Qian Renxue left here in despair. On the way back to the city, she walked heavily and fell into endless confusion. What should she do? There was indeed a big problem with the soul master subsidy system. Because the growth of soul masters requires a lot of resources, and civilian soul masters are not like those family soul masters or sect soul masters who can have a good environment to cultivate them. In order to help them survive the early stage, we can only force the two empires to bear this responsibility. Part of the expenditure, and for soul masters who join Wuhun Hall, all the expenses after level 30 are borne by Wuhun Hall. Compared with the soul master's subsidy, the expenses are simply astronomical.

So, what’s the problem here? !

Qian Renxue looked up at the blue sky, feeling extremely depressed. She had always wanted to change this continent, but now, she realized that the thing that should be erased most was her own home, Wuhun Palace.

"Young Master, there is no need to blame yourself too much. Some things are not as simple as ordinary people think."

"Senior Long Gong...what do you want to do if you follow me..."
