Wulin Tyrant

Chapter 229
The level of the Xuanwu Hall's facilities cannot be raised at will. Every time the level of the Xuanwu Hall is increased by one level, it means that the intensity of the cold inside has also increased by one level.

If a practitioner does not practice kung fu well, but covets the super high bonus effect of the high-level Xuanwu Hall facilities, it is very likely that his body will not be able to resist the icy cold intensity of the Xuanwu Hall.If it is light, it will no longer be able to practice martial arts in the Xuanwu Hall, and if it is serious, it may be frostbitten and frozen to death by the icy air that exceeds the strength of its body's resistance.

At present, the corresponding building facilities of the Buddha Gate can only be upgraded. Once the facility level is upgraded, it cannot be adjusted.So sometimes, Li Bin would be particularly cautious about the upgrade of certain special facilities, such as Xuanwu Hall.

Li Bin sat cross-legged on the frozen basin, swallowed a thousand-hammered alchemy pill, and began to practice according to the second stage of the Jiuyin Divine Art.

After the intensity of the cold air in Xuanwu Hall was increased, it took less time for Li Bin to absorb the cold air, and it was easier to absorb enough cold air for his body to practice.

Halfway through the practice, Li Bin had a faint feeling that the second level of internal energy of the Jiuyin Divine Art seems to have progressed, so he boldly tried to release the cold ball spinning in Dantian two feet away from his body and then retract it.

The cold ball spinning in Dantian was two feet away from his body. With Li Bin's current Nine Yin Magical Skill, he could no longer control it easily. Li Bin tried his best to take back the cold ball, which was indeed very difficult.

Although practicing this way will increase the difficulty of practicing.But with Li Bin's full efforts, he can barely complete it.After a few times of retracting and retracting in this way, Li Bin felt that the efficiency of his practice had improved a little.

After Jiujiu 81 times back and forth to retract and release the dantian cold ball, the practice is over.Li Bin walked out of the Xuanwu Hall. Today is a good day to fulfill his "food city" as agreed with Ma Kui, the governor of Lingnan.

Li Bin took Wei Yawei, the steward of the Buddha Gate, down the mountain together and met with Ma Kui, the governor of Lingnan.

"Ma Kui has seen Lord Hou." Ma Kui, the governor of Lingnan, was respectful in front of Li Bin, and did not dare to pretend to be a big official of the imperial court.

"Spurs history, what is the current Lingnan Tian Fu?" Li Bin asked Ma Kui without being polite, and went straight to today's topic.

"Returning to Lord Hou, the land tax in Lingnan Province is currently [-] taxes, which is also the current national policy of land tax collection in the Daqi Kingdom." Ma Kui replied.

"Fifteen tax one? Tell me briefly what's going on." Li Bin doesn't understand what Daqi's agricultural tax is all about.But this is closely related to his future harvest in Shiyi, and Li Bin also wants to find out. "

Li Bin didn't even know what Daqi's Tian Fu was. Ma Kui, the governor, was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. No matter how weird it is, Ma Kui has to serve him carefully with a smiling face.

"Lord Hou, the fifteenth tax one means that after the landlord collects five-tenths of the land output from the tenant farmers, which is half of the output rent, the landlord then pays the state a tax of one-tenth of the land output. That is, the land output is ten After a 50.00-[-] split between the landlord and the tenant, the landlord will then pay a tax to the state. That is, the land rent rate is [-]%, and the tax rate is one-tenth.”

Hearing this, Li Bin immediately said: "That means, in my Shiyi, according to the land tax rate stipulated by Daqi, if the farmers in Shiyi harvest 100 catties of grain, I can receive 50 catties, and then I can receive 50 catties from the 10 catties I received. Take [-] catties of grain out of the catty and hand it over to the court?"

"What the Marquis said is absolutely correct."

Li Bin said: "Isn't the pressure on the farmer's land tax a bit greater? The harvest is divided into half, and it's okay to meet a good year. If there is a bad year or a disaster year, wouldn't the farmer be unsustainable and unable to survive?"

Li Bin's words made Ma Kui feel a little unbelievable that there are still owners who would consider farmers. Landlords in the Daqi Kingdom are trying their best to collect more food from farmers.However, due to Li Bin's special status and status, Ma Kui could only hold it up and said, "Master Hou is really compassionate and considers so much for ordinary farmers. They are lucky to be tenants of Master Hou's family."

Li Bin couldn't hear Ma Kui's flattering words. The reason why Li Bin was worried about the high land tax was actually to maximize his own long-term interests. No matter how good the land is, there must be farmers to cultivate it. Only when the tax is too high, farmers may lose their income. It seems that the temporary income is too much, but in the long run, it is not desirable.In the end, it was himself, the big landlord, who was harmed.

Li Bin asked: "Master Spurs, can I change the land tax in Shiyi by myself?"

"Back to the Marquis, generally speaking, landowners have no right to change the land taxes set by the state without authorization, but the Marquis owns the food town, and the Marquis has the power of life and death over the people in the food town. As long as the Marquis pays the taxes every year, As long as the court's share of the land tax is paid in full, everything in the Marquis's residence is completely left to the Marquis's decision." Ma Kui replied carefully.

Spurs history's words reassured Li Bin. As long as he can make full decisions, everything will be easy to handle.

Li Bin led the governor, Ma Kui, to ride horses around Luofu Mountain, and all the fertile land that Li Bin liked were assigned to the name of Jingwu Hou Shiyi.

A hundred miles away from Luofu Mountain, where the Futu Gate is located, is a flat and open land, full of ravines and fertile paddy fields.It is rare to see so many fertile fields at a glance in Lingnan, a province that lacks good fields.

Li Bin sat on the horse and swallowed.Pointing to the good paddy field with his hand, he said, "I want all of those."

"Your Majesty, that paddy field belongs to my uncle." Spur Shi said in a panic.

Empress Daqi is also the birth mother of the eldest prince, and the Uncle Guo mentioned by Spurs is the younger brother of Empress Wang and the uncle of the eldest prince Jinwang.

"Uncle Guo's hand stretched a bit too far, right? Are you all here to grab land in Lingnan?" Li Bin said coldly. The relationship between the eldest prince, King Jin and King Chu, has always been at odds due to the dispute over the throne, so Li Bin also treated King Jin. I don't have a cold anymore.

"Returning to Lord Hou, these fields are not the food towns of Uncle Guo. Uncle Guo built a villa in Lingnan a few years ago. He took a fancy to these fields and took them for himself." Inspector Ma Kui said the truth.

Hearing this, Li Bin became even more disdainful and said: "Even so, I have the right to take it back, right? Yawei, remember, this paddy field is mine from now on."

"I will obey my master's orders." Butler Wei Yawei responded.

"Master Hou, I don't know if I should say something or not." Inspector Ma Kui said carefully.

"Say it quickly!" Li Bin said impatiently, the most annoying thing was the roundabout words in the officialdom.

"Master Hou, although these lands of Uncle Guo are not nominal food towns, they can still be regarded as fields under the name of Uncle Guo. If Lord Hou forcibly occupies them, the officials are worried that Uncle Guo will be unhappy." Spurs Shi expressed his inner worries. After all, Uncle Guo is the younger brother of Queen Wang and the uncle of the eldest prince. Although he has no official position, he can be regarded as a serious relative of the Qi Dynasty emperor.

Ordinary local officials dare not provoke them easily, let alone blatantly grabbing land like Li Bin.

But this paddy field is the most fertile field that Li Bin has seen today. This paddy field must have at least a thousand acres, and it is as fat as oil.

Moreover, there are still many uncultivated wastelands near the paddy fields, which have great potential for development. If they are well cultivated and opened up, it is not a big problem to develop another thousand mu of good land around the paddy field.

Now, Li Bin's money problem has been solved, and the Futu Sect is no longer short of money, but the food supply has always been a big problem for Li Bin. With the continuous expansion of the disciples of the Futu Sect, the demand for food will only increase.

Daqi's current political situation is unstable, and the surrounding situation is also tense. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a troubled time.

What is the most precious thing in troubled times?food!

In extreme cases, it is difficult to buy food for the vain silver.

Now that Li Bin has the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and the privilege of Ten Thousand Households, it is not too early to make plans at this time, and to plan for the future, let alone when.

As long as these fields are not the food towns of the uncle of the country, it is reasonable, reasonable and legal to occupy them by yourself.

Whether your uncle is happy or not is none of your business!As for Queen Wang and King Jin, Li Bin didn't even bother to worry about it.

It is obvious that the old emperor did not make the eldest prince Jin Wang, who was born to the empress, as the crown prince. The empress Wang was not favored by the old emperor at all.

Otherwise, as the eldest prince, there is no reason for the fourth prince, King Chu Qixing, to take advantage of everything, not even the slightest bit of real power in the Qi Dynasty, King Jin.

"Spurs, since Uncle Guo bought these fields, I will pay the actual land price for the land at that time, and I will not lose a penny to Uncle Guo. I want to settle this land. Not only these paddy fields , I even want this piece of wasteland around the paddy field." Li Bin said in an unquestionable tone.

"Okay, Lord Marquis." Seeing Li Bin's firm attitude, the Spurs director did not dare to say anything more.
