Douluo: Justice Under Fire

Hearing the official's words, the village chief could hardly believe his ears, and his face suddenly froze.

This is simply a lion's mouth!

For these villagers, if they only pay a gold soul coin, it is barely acceptable.

After all, for their total income, a gold soul coin is only equivalent to [-] to [-]% of tax.

However, this is just a land tax paid to the Balak Kingdom!

You must know that the officials of Fasno Province still have to collect a tax, and the villagers also have to pay protection fees to the famous nearby bandit "Fourth Tiger"...

After all, the villagers' hard work for a year was just in vain.

You might even go hungry!

The official glanced at the pensive village chief and couldn't help snorting: "What? Is there a problem?"

The village chief had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Sir, we can't come up with so much money!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

The official looked disdainful and said, "You have to figure out your own affairs!"

At this moment, a group of people from a distance rushed towards us.

These people are of course Ning Ke and the villagers who were originally in his office.

"What happened?"

As soon as Ning Ke arrived here, he walked up to the official and asked.

The officials became suspicious when they saw that Ning Ke was not dressed like ordinary villagers.

"who are you?"

Ning Ke directly handed the Qibao Glazed Sect's token to the official.

After the official saw the token, his face suddenly turned 180 degrees.

"It turns out that little brother is from the Qibao Glazed Sect..."

Before the official finished speaking, Ning Ke raised his right hand slightly to signal him to stop talking, and asked: "Are you from the Balak Kingdom? What are you doing in Fasno Province?"

"We are here to collect rent." The official said obediently.

"People from the Balak Kingdom come to Fasno Province to collect rent?" Ning Ke frowned, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Therefore, this is the Fasnuo Province, a province directly under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire.

The Balak Kingdom is a vassal state affiliated with the Tiandou Empire. Logically speaking, it is not qualified to collect rent here.

Officials naturally know this too.He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Sir, you don't know something. Our Balak Kingdom is the most powerful country in terms of military strength among the principal kingdoms affiliated with the Tiandou Empire. In order to guard the portal of the Tiandou Empire, we still need some military expenditures."

"You are here to collect taxes. Does the Tiandou Empire know?"

"Our King has already spoken to the Governor-General of the Province, and the Governor-General expresses his support for this."

That is to say, Emperor Xueye, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, does not know.

When Ning Ke thought of this, he suddenly felt a little outrageous.

This situation is just like during the Ming Dynasty, when North Korea came to Ming Dynasty territory to collect taxes.

This shows how little Emperor Xueye of the Tiandou Empire cares about local politics.

Moreover, the Barak Kingdom has probably become too big to lose.

After thinking about it, Ning Ke suddenly felt that it was normal for this to happen.

Those dignitaries in the Tiandou Empire were all noble soul masters, and they basically ignored these ordinary people without soul power.

The city they care about is nothing more than a city where soul masters gather.

For the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies, Emperor Xue Ye was actually able to put aside his military and political duties and stay at the soul master arena of the Tiandou Empire from beginning to end.

The qualifying round lasts for one month, and the promotion and finals last for more than one month...

After ignoring political affairs for nearly three months, I have to say that Emperor Xueye is not qualified enough to be a king.

But even so, Emperor Xueye's rule was still consolidated.

Because he can recruit a certain number of soul masters to join the empire in the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies.

With a certain number of soul masters as his subordinates, he is not afraid of people at the bottom making trouble at all.

Thinking of this, Ning Ke couldn't help but sigh.

The victory of the noble soul masters is not the victory of the people, the triumph of the noble soul masters is not the triumph of the people, and the prosperity of the noble soul masters is not the prosperity of the people.

Ning Ke suddenly felt that there was a long way to go.

Then, he looked at the official from the Barak Kingdom and asked: "Sir, do you think my college covers such a large area, do I need to pay taxes?"

The official suddenly laughed and said: "No, no, how dare I collect your land rent!"

"Then you go back."

Ning Ke took out ten gold soul coins from the soul guide and handed them to the official.

"This is the land rent for these villagers."

The official's face looked a little ugly, "Sir, is this a little too little?"

Ning Ke shook his head and said: "My lord, you don't know something. Most of the land in this village does not belong to the villagers. The land they cultivate is basically rented from others. If you want to collect taxes, you must Go find the people with the title deeds, the landowners.”

......

Because of Ning Ke's interference, Barak's officials quickly left the village.

As soon as the people left, some villagers became angry.

"Fuck, these bastards are really nothing!"

"That's right, aren't these soul masters just relying on a good pregnancy? What's so great about it!"

Some people started chattering and venting their anger.

Seeing the incompetent and furious look of this group of people, Ning Ke thought to himself: Since you feel aggrieved, then resist!

But in the end, Ning Ke didn't say much.

After all, they have too many scruples.

The main reason is that the power gap between soul masters and ordinary people is too big.

After a while, these villagers quickly stopped angrily.

The village chief walked towards Ning Ke, lowered his head and said, "Here, Mr. Dean, you paid the rent for us. We really don't know how to thank you."

"It's no need to thank you."

Ning Ke shook his head and said: "I will only hand it over for you this time. You still have to find a way to solve the problems in the future."

A villager rolled his eyes and asked, "Mr. Dean, is it because we have joined the farmers' association that they will no longer dare to collect rent randomly?"

Ning Ke did not answer directly, but said: "Everyone, please go back and read first."

The villagers were skeptical about Ning Ke's words, but some actually started reading after returning.

From the attitude of the officials of the Balak Kingdom towards Ning Ke, they have realized the extraordinary status of Ning Ke.

For this kind of person, of course, you have to hug your thighs.

So after returning home, they immediately took out the books from their children's schoolbags and flipped through the pages.

The more you read this book, the more shocking some people find it.

From this book, most villagers can see the purpose of the so-called farmers' association.

The reason why the Peasants' Association was established was to unite all the poor people and target mainly local tyrants and evil gentry, unscrupulous landlords, evil spirit masters, various feudal patriarchal ideas and systems, corrupt officials in the city, and bad habits in the countryside. superior.

This is truly shocking!

Especially those sonorous and powerful words in the book: We must wipe out the tens of thousands of years of feudal landlord privileges in Douluo Continent!

After the power of the landlords was overthrown, the peasant associations became the only organ of power, truly realizing what people call "all power vested in the peasant associations."
