"Eh!! I still don't understand!! "Xiatian shook his head. He really didn't know what the use of being an official was.
"The Lu Family's official position is useless outside of the Lianyun Mountain Range. However, as long as one is still in the Lianyun Mountain Range, then this official position is very useful. Even the lowest official position in the Lu Family is respected by everyone. Not to mention other things, the Lu Family's official positions can be divided into Rank 1 to Rank 9, with Rank 1 being the highest and Rank 9 being the lowest. However, even if a Rank 9 official goes to a lower city, the big families will come out to greet them. When a Rank 8 official comes, those big families will even run up to them to curry favor. As for a Rank 7 official, even the City Lord's Mansion has to entertain them." Lü Fengxian explained.
Although he didn't say much.
Xiatian basically understood. In short, within the Lu Family's jurisdiction, the Lu Family's official position is the most awesome. The entire Lianyun Mountain Range has to acknowledge it.
"Let me tell you this. If the Lu Family's general goes to any mountain sect, even the Three Sects and Three Schools will have to entertain him." Lü Fengxian said again.
"Now that you mention it, it's quite awesome." Xiatian said.
"I applied for a Rank 7 official position for you." Lü Fengxian said.
"So high!!" Xia Chen was also stunned. He believed that as an official, he would definitely take it one step at a time. It was impossible for him to reach the heavens in a single step. From the lowest ninth rank up, he would definitely be considered amazing.
"If it was the City Lord of another city who applied, then the highest rank would be Rank 9. Moreover, it also requires merits. To put it bluntly, it is just giving money because once you become a Rank 9 official, then you will have a salary. Moreover, it will be more convenient for you to do things in the future. For example, in the big city gathering this time, everyone will first see the strength of your city. For example, the size of your city, whether there are any special products, and the performance of your city. Secondly, they will see if there are any officials in your city. If there are any officials, then they will definitely be looked at highly. It can be said that this is a symbol of status." Lü Fengxian said.
In a place like the Tianyuan Continent.
Status was a very important thing.
With an identity, you could do whatever you wanted. Of course, you had to have money. But usually, as long as you had an identity, it was equivalent to having money.
"It sounds good," Xiatian said.
"That's natural. This time, I specially asked the State Preceptor to give you this position. Of course, in order to give you this position, our Luoshi City will have to start paying taxes starting from this year." Lü Fengxian said.
Clearly, if he wanted to get something in return, he had to give something in return.
If you want to get the name of an official, you have to show the corresponding performance.
Although Lü Fengxian had already reported the situation in Luoshi City, it had not been confirmed yet. At that time, the Lü family would also send a special agent to investigate the actual situation. This special agent would record the situation here and then report it to the higher-ups.
If someone made a false report, the consequences would be very cruel.
Therefore, generally speaking, the moment the special agents arrived, they would be treated like living ancestors.
Good food and drinks would be served, and they would still have to give them money.
Of course, Xiatian also understood that if he did not have the identity of Lü Fengxian, he would definitely not be able to get the position of a seventh rank official.
No matter how disliked Lü Fengxian was in the family, he was still the eldest son of the Lü family.
This identity could not be replaced by anyone.
According to tradition, this eldest son had to be the successor of the family head in the future.
However, Lü Fengxian was unable to cultivate. His level had been stuck at the first level of the origin level for a long time, so he was also ostracized.
Normally, the Lü family had many experts. Naturally, they would not care about one or two experts. However, if the patriarch of such a large family was only at the first level of the origin level, they would be laughed at. People would even think that the Lü family did not have any ability. Otherwise, they could use all kinds of resources to nurture a piece of trash to the sixth level of the origin level.
"How much do we have to pay?" Xiatian Asked.
"Our Luoshi City is now in the growth stage. Therefore, the tax is temporarily very low. It is even lower than the request of the higher-ups. Therefore, this difference has to be paid by us," Lü Fengxian said.
"How much?" Xiatian Asked again.
"Let's put it this way. The Lü Family gives us eight tax points. In other words, the business tax has to reach eight points. However, we are in the Divine Eagle City of the Gui Chuan District. Therefore, the tax given to us by the Divine Eagle City is ten points. Other cities would usually increase it to twelve or thirteen points. Some cities would even increase it to twenty points. However, it is very rare. After all, such a high tax is not something an ordinary city can afford unless they are rich in resources," Lü Fengxian explained.
His meaning was very simple.
Every level had to be given a share of the money.
This was also considered the management rights.
"Our Luoshi City now has six tax points for normal people. The families of the soldiers have five tax points. As for those who have made contributions, they only have four tax points. Therefore, we have to compensate the Divine Eagle City with six tax points," Lü Fengxian said.
"Isn't the tax something that we can decide how much we want?" Xiatian Asked, puzzled.
"Of course not. After we pay the money, the Divine Eagle City will send people to investigate. Furthermore, don't think that we are still expanding. In fact, when the two of us started expanding Luoshi City, the Divine Eagle City already has eyes here. Therefore, if you dare to evade taxes, the outcome is very simple. Your entire clan will be wiped out!" Lü Fengxian said.
In the Tianyuan Continent, evading taxes was the scariest thing.
This was because the higher-ups were relying on these taxes to survive.
"Oh, how much does our Luoshi City have to pay this year?" Xiatian Asked.
"Seven hundred thousand!" Lü Fengxian said.
"So much!!" Xiatian was momentarily stunned. "In fact, you are actually quite good at this.
Many of your suggestions are very far-sighted. At first, I didn't quite understand it. Now that I think about it, there are really many benefits. When you started to control the price of items, it allowed our taxes to be much lower. Furthermore, although business is flourishing, to put it bluntly, those are all private transactions. Although private transactions are prohibited in normal cities, our Luoshi City is different. From today onwards, there will be no more private transactions. However, who can control the private transactions in the past? "Lü Fengxian smiled slightly.
"Oh!!" Xiatian nodded. Seven hundred thousand yuan was really painful.
"Actually, your official rank is still not high. If you were a fourth-grade official or above, then our city would not even need to pay ten points. Instead, we would only need to pay eight points. The Divine Eagle City would also definitely not earn two points from us," Lü Fengxian said.
