C621 Tax collection

Yun Lai City.

The city walls looked old, but the repairs had been completed and the streets were also neatly and tidily cleaned. However, there were few people walking on the streets. Apart from a few soldiers patrolling outside, there were almost no signs of anyone else.

At first glance, this Cloudfall City gave off a desolate feeling of desolation.

This... Was it really a city?

A city like this shouldn't even be as lively as a village.

"Hello, sir over there, please come here to register."

A burly, middle-aged soldier raised his hand and pointed towards Zhan Tianming, who was driving the carriage. He waved his hand, signalling Zhan Tianming to go over.

Zhan Tianming who was using his Qi concealment technique to hide the Quintessential Essence Fluctuations on his body, then steered the carriage towards the ten over soldiers.

The people in front of him were all wearing Battle Armor s.

There were even a few traces of blood on the Battle Armor on two of them.

When Zhan Tianming came closer, the leading soldier revealed a smile: "Sir, ever since you entered our Yunsan, have you been driving carriages all the way here?"

"Ugh …" "Yes." Zhan Tianming nodded.

He had a nagging feeling that the other party's question was a little strange.

Hearing Zhan Tianming's reply, the leader of the soldiers grinned, as if he was welcoming Zhan Tianming: "En, very good, you are very honest."

Coincidentally, there were two people who passed by, but upon hearing the soldier's words, they couldn't help but send a saddened look towards Zhan Tianming. However, when they saw the soldiers, they didn't dare say anything further and immediately turned to leave, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.

"Sir, what is it?" Zhan Tianming asked, puzzled.

"Yes, of course." The leader of the soldiers nodded, then continued to ask, "Let me ask you, ever since you entered our Yunsan, have you paid the relevant taxes?"

"Related taxes?" Zhan Tianming looked astonished.

"It seems that you have not paid the relevant fees. Now, please make up the relevant fees." The leader of the soldiers said.

In fact, the existence of tax fees in every country was also a necessary means for a country to continue to operate.

Zhan Tianming understood this point.

Following that, Zhan Tianming said: "How do you want to cross this?"

"Wait a moment."

As he spoke, the leader of the soldiers took out a silver abacus from his waist. As he spoke, he began to pull out the silver beads with a crackling sound.

"Ten liang for carriage purchase tax, ten liang for maintenance tax, eight liang for honesty tax, eight liang for inquiry tax, ten liang for patience, ten liang for smiling service tax, fifteen liang for city health tax, twenty liang for first payment of tax certification. You will definitely need to buy food in the future, and pay thirty liang for food tax in advance, and …"

Hearing the soldier mumbling to himself, Zhan Tianming was a little dumbfounded.

F * ck, what was this?

To be able to charge taxes and fees in such a brilliant manner, he was truly a talent!

Just as Zhan Tianming was startled, at the same time he was surprised, the leader of the soldiers had already finished taking out the Silver Abacus, and revealed a smile.

"Sir, this time, you have to pay a total of 820 taels of silver."

Hearing this, the corner of Zhan Tianming's mouth could not help but twitch.

Eight hundred and twenty silver taels, actually wasn't much to him, but to an ordinary human being, this amount of silver taels was definitely a huge sum of money. Even some ordinary family of three might not have that much money for ten years, but this bastard was just playing with an abacus in front of him and charging him so much tax?

F * ck!

Was this the national policy of Yunsan, or were these bastards trying to cheat him?

Which country would dare to collect taxes like this?

At this moment, a soldier holding a Cosmic Bag had already arrived in front of Zhan Tianming, gesturing for him to quickly pay the taxes.

"What if I don't?" Zhan Tianming said in a heavy voice.

Zhan Tianming would never be so foolish as to make a fool of himself.

To pay this kind of tax without knowing was to act like a retard.

The leading soldier said in a deep voice: "Sir, your actions, just like that, are in violation of our Yunsan's national law, and once you violate our nation's tax regulations, it will be difficult for even a single step of your way into our Yunsan's national territory. The people who are chasing you will double the amount of the related taxes on you using a powerful method, you better think carefully."

Hearing the commotion, some of the houses on both sides of the street couldn't help but look over.

"Damn it! That foreign kid, does he want to implicate us? "

"That's right, the tax team is the only one collecting taxes right now. If he doesn't dare to pay taxes and when the team arrives, we will all be involved."

"Hey, you foreign kid, quickly hand over all your taxes, don't implicate us."

"Right, quickly pay the tax."

"Hurry up and pay the tax …"

Everyone urged Zhan Tianming to pay the taxes quickly.

Hearing those voices, Zhan Tianming instantly felt that his three views were in disarray.

Damn it, is everyone here abnormal?

Or could it be that he was abnormal?

Who the hell can explain it to me?

Unfortunately, no one would explain to Zhan Tianming any of these problems. There were only a few voices of reproach, as well as the dozen or so soldiers who had tiger-like expressions and were rubbing their hands together, preparing to give Zhan Tianming a hard time.

It was obvious that their tax team would first try to deal with this issue before the so called search party came to deal with Zhan Tianming's various issues of withholding taxes and fees.

If they couldn't handle it, the team would handle it.

"Little brother, we're begging you. Hurry up and pay the tax." A passerby had already begun begging.

There were even more people who, apart from reprimanding him, revealed a pleading expression.

Zhan Tianming was too shocked!

Was he dreaming?

Right now, Zhan Tianming felt that the world he was in was not like a normal world. If this was a dream, no matter how strange it was, it was normal.

However, was he really dreaming?

He pinched it.

F * ck! So painful!

The pain was proof that he wasn't dreaming, but wasn't this a little too ridiculous?

Just as Zhan Tianming was at a loss, a movement came out from the carriage behind him, but when they sensed that there was still someone in the carriage, the soldiers' eyes lit up, especially the leader of the soldiers, who quickly pulled out his silver abacus.

"I'm sorry, but your taxes and fees now amount to 8200 taels of silver!"
