Chapter 156 The Human Emperor and the Godly Prime Minister listened sideways(3/3)
Li Dazhi wondered: "I have never understood where the ASEAN military expenditures come from? They don't collect taxes, but they actually raise millions of immortal soldiers."
"Sit back and eat nothing."
Li Pingan said:
"It relies on the treasure trove collected from the ancient heaven and hundreds of tribes.
“The first department I went to was related to the warehouse.
"I have handled several account books and can roughly estimate that 60% of the treasures in the ASEAN treasury have been consumed.
"ASEAN's days of being indifferent to world affairs and focusing on raising troops can last for tens of thousands of years, so we don't need to worry about it."
"Not always!"
Li Dazhi shook his head:
"Don't forget that there are still threats from hundreds of tribes. If there is a war, the amount of treasures consumed is astronomical. ASEAN did not plan ahead and arrange taxation in Dongzhou in advance."
Li Ping'an rested his arms on his head, looked at the ceiling, his eyes empty, and said casually: "Would you like to submit a letter?"
"I can't," Li Dazhi sneered, "I'm not qualified to be an official. If you ask me to be an official, all I can do is put on show and accept gifts. Just like what the play says, I celebrate the New Year every day and play every night... You submit a letter and earn money."
It’s also good to have some credit.”
"I'm already imagining it. I'll come up with it later when I have the opportunity."
Li Pingan swiped casually and traced the boundaries of Dongzhou.
"In the land of Dongzhou, there are thousands of people in Dazhongfang Town and tens of millions of casual cultivators. The entity that collects taxes cannot be Zongmen Mountain Gate. Zongmen Mountain Gate is the place of Qing Xiu.
"The entity that collects taxes must be a town, and the donation must be made to the sect.
"Fang Town collects taxes, which are local taxes and bonded taxes. Each shop should pay part of the tax according to the amount of profit. The inn is taken over by ASEAN, and the inn is designated as a place where no fight can be fought. It provides shelter for casual cultivators, so as to collect taxes."
Bonded.
"It will be used for three purposes, one is military expenses for cultivating immortal soldiers, the other is for the construction of towns and villages, and the third is to help mortals and low-level casual cultivators."
Li Dazhi clicked his tongue: "You are too idealistic. If you really want to collect taxes, you must first join forces with the big sects and let the big sects pay part of it, and the non-commercial cultivators will pay part of it. Then, the tax of the big sects will be paid back in full, and the non-commercial cultivators will pay the tax in full."
The taxes are used to fund ASEAN military expenditures.”
"This won't work."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"Dad, what you are doing is oppressing casual cultivators."
"But believe it or not," Li Dazhi raised his eyebrows, "If you don't do this, you won't get much at all."
Li Ping'an hesitated to speak, but said: "Dongzhou is like a jade, all kinds of rules have not yet been established. If the rules are initially established and leave too much room for relaxation, people will be evil, and the people behind will continue to test and get off the line.
"
"That's all I said!"
Li Dazhi patted his head:
"Isn't this the trick of the evil capitalists? If you have an idea, just use it.
"By the way, Ping An, have you seen the backers of Tiantianmen in ASEAN?"
On the eaves of this tall building, three figures quietly descended.
Old Man Tianli gritted his teeth, and his Taoist heart was twisted into a ball at this moment.
But Li Ping'an's next words made old man Tianli's legs go weak.
Just listen to Li Pingan say:
